Chapter 72: Cousin

Views:

"One million! No counter-offer." After hearing Yang Zhenzhen's mission to rescue Yang Lin, Dongfanghong opened his mouth and asked for one million.

Yang Zhenzhen was so angry that Dongfang Hong pointed his finger at him, and was speechless. In addition to worrying about his father and being blackmailed by such a villain, Yang Zhenzhen already had tears in his eyes, pitiful.

Dongfanghong smiled and said: "One million saves a dad, you won't suffer."

"You are not the head of the mercenary group, why should I listen to you." Yang Zhenzhen said with a little bit of tears.

Xu Maogong really didn't expect that Dongfang Hong, who had always been willing and obedient to beautiful women, would be so cruel to such a big beautiful woman this time. People were crying to save their father, Dongfanghong even took advantage of the fire and robbed him. It's really inhuman! But Dongfanghong said one million, so he, the chief of staff, had no choice but to be a beast together.

So Xu Maogong said: "The princess has always had the final say on this price, my assistant, because he was sent by the boss of our mercenary group, so I can't help it."

Yang Zhenzhen looked at Xu Maogong's helpless expression and knew that he couldn't be the master in terms of price. Since Dongfanghong is hard, let it be soft, so Yang Zhen really said pitifully, "Isn’t there so much money now! But filial piety is the first priority for children, don’t you care about the safety of your parents? It depends on people’s eagerness to save my father, is it cheaper! Five hundred thousand is always fine!"

Dongfanghong made Yang Zhen really do this, and his whole body was almost crisp. Dongfanghong was so scared that he said quickly, "Stop, stop! Good guy, I almost lost a lot! You, the princess, are of no use to me. I always do business for business and favor favors. Besides, we don’t seem to have anything wrong Let's talk about it! So one million will remain the same, so there is no need to talk about it."

Yang Zhenzhen has absolutely nothing to do with Dongfanghong. One million is one million! I only hope that the court can reimburse myself, after all, this is also the 50,000 elite navy who rescued the court! If the imperial court does not admit the account, then the'Dingnan King' mansion will lose out. But everyone knows that the "Chen Kingdom" court will pay off in full, and only a few million in exchange for such a big victory, the fool will not admit it!

In this way, Dongfanghong asked Yu Chigong to lead the two regiments to rescue Yang Lin. The reason he didn't send them all was because it was unnecessary. The two regiments would not meet each other's swordsmen, and would only release arrows at the enemy ship from a distance. Of course, the arrows were the'Sky Thunder Arrow' and the'Burning Arrow'. If this kind of arrow is shot on a wooden warship that is not too big, it doesn't need to think about it. After a thousand people have killed the opponent's hundreds of warships, it is estimated that Dongfang Lunming will not want to retreat.

Dongfanghong was completely relieved of this, so he didn't need to stay here anymore, so Xu Maogong took care of the rest, and he returned happily and went back to Chang'an City.

Of course, things were exactly the same as Dongfanghong thought. Yu Chigong took the troops on the river and didn’t need to do anything at all. As long as he saw the enemy’s warship, he would drop two or three arrows from afar, and the enemy’s ship would be spent for a while. It was either on fire or directly sunk. Seeing Yang Lin, the old man on the battlefield, his eyes are almost red. Think about the weapons used by the mercenary group in the water battle is simply a magic weapon! With this weapon, Yang Lin was confident that only 10,000 people would be able to completely wipe out the'Qiguo' navy.

So Yang Lin did everything possible to get close to Yuchigong, asking about the situation of the firearm, of course Yuchigong asked three questions, which directly made Yang Lin extremely depressed. However, Dongfang Lunming was even more depressed than him. He could defeat Yang Lin's troops, but suddenly a strange soldier popped out. He didn't know what they were using, and his warship sank one after another. In the end, because of the heavy losses of the warship, the troops could only be withdrawn.

The battle was completely over, and Yu Chigong did not lead his troops back, but left'Chen Guo' and returned to'Wangyue Peak'. 'Dingnan King' Yang Lin's victory and return to the court is naturally a national celebration, and'Chen Guo' is now proud of it! Compared with the joy of "Chen Guo", Qi Guo is home in misery.

Originally, under the good news of the great victory of the'Jiujiang', the whole country thought that this time the'Chen Guo' should be completely finished. Then'King Wu'an' descended along the river and steadily destroyed the Yangtze River defense line of'Chen Guo', which made everyone think that'Chen Guo' would be a lamb to be slaughtered in the future, as long as'Qi Guo' was happy anytime. Kill him.

But things all changed after the'Wu'an King' suddenly returned to Jiujiang. Zheng Yuan and the "Qi State" imperial court's combat intentions are very clear. The first task is to eliminate the "Chen State" navy and the viable forces along the Yangtze River. Dongfang Lunming's strategy is also carried out in accordance with this idea. After destroying the "Chen Kingdom" navy and the Yangtze River defense line, if there is still the strength to occupy a territory southward, it will slowly erode the opponent. Only if you have absolute certainty, can you directly attack the capital of the'Chen Kingdom' and completely eliminate the'Chen Kingdom'.

However, it is clear that King Wu'an has sent troops to attack Nanchang before completing the first step of the strategy. There is no need to warn the warrior generals, Zheng Yuan also knows that his own brother is going to cause trouble. So after getting the battle report, Zheng Yuan immediately sent people to rush to the front line, and strictly ordered Zheng Xi to withdraw his troops immediately and continue to use his troops according to the original strategy. But what everyone didn’t expect was that Zheng Xi’s 400,000 army was defeated so quickly. When the envoy rushed to Dongfang Lunming’s camp, Dongfang Lunming had already fought Yang Lin, and Zheng Xi’s 80,000 remnants had already been killed. Kaesong surrendered.

It would have been a happy and peaceful New Year that the whole country celebrated. This was completely destroyed by Zheng Xi. This time the'Qi State' attacked with all its strength, and the worst plan originally had to let'Chen Guo' cede the land and pay compensation. Everyone was confident about this. It's good now. Not only did all the plans fall through, but the nearly half a million troops of the'Qi State' were also joined, and the warship materials and so on were countless! With so many soldiers dead, the money spent on this post-war cooking is probably a bottomless pit. So this time the emperor of Qi Kingdom really has to pay for pants!

The most terrible thing about Qi State is that since the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the absolute advantage over Chen State is completely gone. And this big defeat is a great shame. The defeat of this battle will directly cause the morale of the Qi State to be low for several years, and there will be no possibility of large-scale use of troops. The same god-given opportunity is also completely lost. I don't know when I have another chance!

As the coach of this war, Zheng Xi is naturally inevitable, but he is now captured by the'Chen Guo', so there is no way to pursue it. He just writes articles such as revoking the title of Wang Jue. Of course, Dongfang Lunming was also dealt with. He was accused of failing to anticipate the enemy, negligently causing the'Chen Guo' 50,000 elites to slip through the net, and breaking the army's back path, thus leading to the destruction of the army. Therefore, the punishment for Dongfang Lunming is to revoke the title of'Wuweihou', remove the position of the'Nanying' general and the position of Hussar's general to the deputy general, and still remain in the'Nanying' to serve as a crime. This time, Dongfang Lunming changed from a second-rank master to a fourth-rank, and even lost all enviable titles, and quietly left from the team competing for the position of Patriarch!

'Qi Guo' lost terribly, but'Chen Guo' was not so happy to win. Although the Yangtze River Defense Line has not been completely destroyed, it has also been partially destroyed. It is not a small amount to rebuild it from engineering to manpower, material and financial resources. There are only more than 60,000 people left in the navy of the "Chen Kingdom". Compared with the three to four hundred thousand emperors of the "Chen Kingdom" before the war, he just wanted to cry. Of course, I have suffered heavy losses in the army, and the same "Qi Guo" is not much better or worse than myself. The "Qi" navy army, which was absolutely active on the Yangtze River, has directly become a level with the "Chen Guo" after this battle. It’s hard to say who can win another fight on the Yangtze River in the future!

Anyway anyway! The emperor who loses will have to be trousers, and the emperor who wins will probably sell his underwear. The result is that both lose and lose, and it still hurts the bones. The winning party didn't get any benefits either. Originally,'Chen Guo' meant that as long as'Qi Guo' paid the money,'Wu'an King' could be redeemed. But the emperor of Qi Kingdom Zheng Yuan was so angry that he couldn't wait to choke this brother to death with his own hands, how could he still pay to redeem him! So in a word, it will be redeemed when our country has money. Please treat it well before that. Unluckily,'Chen Guo' didn't get a penny, but instead helped'Qi Guo' raise the prince.

Everyone lost in this battle. Of course, Dongfanghong was the only winner. The battle he personally contributed to ended completely in accordance with Dongfanghong's meaning, and successfully completed Dongfanghong's set goals, allowing the two countries to stand on the same starting line again within a few years. It has greatly weakened the strength of Qi Guo in all aspects, and he has also made more than three million taels of silver from Chen Guo. It is really a bumper harvest!

However, Dongfanghong’s “Thunder God’s Mercenary Group” has officially entered everyone’s eyes. Zheng Yuan has obtained all the information about the war, and through the secret agents in the “Chen Guo”, he has inquired about the mercenary group. All the information shows that “King Wuan 'The reason why we lost so quickly and so miserably was all caused by this mercenary group. The information also mentions that the "Thunder God Mercenary Group" possesses an extremely powerful weapon, which cannot be countered by manpower at all. The reason why Dongfang Lunming's final battle with Yang Lin failed is that Yang Lin hired the mercenary group. , And the weapons used by the mercenary group made Dongfang Lunming unable to parry and then withdrew his troops.

What Zheng Yuan didn't expect was that this mercenary group was the one hired by Jie Li Khan to burn his'Tai Chi Hall'. Seeing these Zheng Yuan couldn't help but feel cold and sweaty. What kind of army is this? I can only describe it as I'm afraid.

Also surprised is the people of Yingtian Pavilion. He already faintly feels that this unit is the “Sirius” predicted by the sky. There is such an unstable factor that erupts at any time. The people of Yingtian Pavilion have already begun to feel that in the future. Dominating the world will be more difficult. And through this battle, he also saw that the emperor of Qi was still taking precautions against him, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty. The expert sent by the'Yingtian Pavilion' began to have the idea of failure in case of failure!

Just because of the strong attack of the'Thunder God Mercenary Group', it completely attracted the attention of the three great nations. 'Turkic, Qi State, and Chen State' all sent spies to investigate the mercenary group. At this time, the mercenary group is carrying out Dongfanghong's order, which is to integrate bandits and grass bandits to prepare for the next large-scale smuggling. .
