Jiang Ze was so angry that he suddenly broke the window glass and flew towards the west city gate as fast as possible.
In about five minutes, Jiang Ze arrived at the gate of Xicheng. Here, he saw the dying Chen Ling and the reconnaissance team leader who was covered in injuries.
"Is Erhu still alive?" Jiang Ze asked excitedly.
"My subordinates don't know."
"Why don't you bring him back? Aren't you known as the best in earth skills in the world? Is it so difficult to bring two people with you?"
"In normal times, it would be no problem to take a few people with me. But because of the serious injuries, it is my limit to take one person with me."
"If you had to choose one, why didn't you choose Erhu? Don't you know Erhu is my brother?" Jiang Ze blamed.
"This is General Luo's intention. It was him who gave Chen Ling and I a chance to escape."
"So, Luo Erhu traded his life for Chen Ling's?"
"In the eyes of my subordinates, this is indeed the case."
"Damn it, you idiot, you big idiot." Jiang Ze was furious, but he had nowhere to vent.
"Captain, my reconnaissance team has tried its best to assist General Luo. Except for me, no one has survived." When the reconnaissance team leader said this, his eyes were filled with tears.
Jiang Ze was also a little bit intolerant. He controlled his temper and said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work this time. Don't worry, I won't let their death be in vain. I will make the Chu army pay for it with blood."
"Thank you, Captain."
"You should go to the hospital for treatment quickly. Someone, please send them both to the hospital immediately."
"yes."
Soon, a medical vehicle came over, they took out a stretcher and carried Chen Ling on it. At the same time, the medical soldiers performed simple wound treatment and hemostasis treatment on the reconnaissance brigade leader, and then asked him to get into the car and go to the hospital for more comprehensive treatment.
After the medical vehicle left, Li Xiuwen flew over and landed next to Jiang Ze.
"Brother, what happened?"
"It's your second brother's business again." Jiang Ze said angrily.
"Second brother...what's wrong?"
"This idiot actually took the risk to save Chen Ling. Even any fool knows that this must be a trap. In the end, your second brother went without hesitation..."
In this way, Jiang Ze told Li Xiuwen everything he knew.
After hearing this, Li Xiuwen felt helpless, shaking his head and frowning. However, even if Luo Erhu did do something stupid, Li Xiuwen was not thinking about blaming him now, but worried about Luo Erhu's safety.
"Brother, what should we do now? The second brother's life or death is uncertain."
"Wait, if Er Hu is still alive, then the Chu army will definitely come to negotiate with me. After all, Er Hu is more valuable to them than Chen Ling."
The facts were just as Jiang Ze expected. When the sun rose in the east, Chu Dongyu and several powerful generals drove a car to the city gate in person.
Chu Dongyu went straight to the point: "Jiang Ze, one Chen Ling is not enough for you to leave Dal City. What about Luo Erhu? I can return Luo Erhu to you, as long as you lead the troops and leave Dal City."
Jiang Ze shouted unhappily: "Let me see Erhu first."
"no problem."
Chu Dongyu ordered several lieutenants to carry Luo Erhu out.
At this time, Luo Erhu was lying on a stretcher, his whole body covered with bandages.
Chu Dongyu also specially explained: "Jiang Ze, don't worry, although Luo Erhu was seriously injured and comatose, he is still alive. We spent a lot of money to save him. In order to bring him back from the gate of hell, we have three The first-class healer has used up all his powers. All you need to do now is sense it, Luo Erhu's vitality is slowly recovering. If you agree to my request, I promise to give you a lively Luo Erhu."
Jiang Ze sensed it and indeed sensed Luo Erhu's aura. It seemed that Chu Dongyu was not lying.
Before Jiang Ze could speak, Li Xiuwen began to persuade Jiang Ze: "Brother, I know this request is too much for you, but I really beg you, promise Chu Dongyu, it's important to save your second brother first."
"Li Xiuwen, listen to me, I don't need you to teach me how to do things." Jiang Ze suddenly shouted.
Li Xiuwen felt very uncomfortable when Jiang Ze yelled at him, but he didn't dare to say anything more now.
Jiang Ze thought for a few seconds and shouted to Chu Dongyu: "I tell you, it's still the original terms, five thousand civilians in exchange for Luo Erhu."
Hearing such words, Chu Dongyu was furious. He shouted: "Jiang Ze, don't be ungrateful. Do you think I dare not kill Luo Erhu?"
"I don't care whether you kill or not, but the agreed terms cannot be changed. Five thousand civilians, just five thousand civilians."
"Damn, are you so special? You don't even want your brother?" Chu Dongyu was so angry that he took out the dagger and put it directly on Luo Erhu's forehead.
However, Jiang Ze was still the same. He did not give in at all: "Listen to me, Chu Dongyu, I, Jiang Ze, have never been a saint. Today I lost a brother, and I will have more brothers in the future."
"Cao Cao Cao, I can't bear it anymore." Chu Dongyu raised his wrist and stabbed Luo Erhu in the head.
At the critical moment, Rogni quickly stopped Chu Dongyu with his hand.
Chu Dongyu glared: "What the hell are you doing?"
"Captain, look at that." When Rogni said this, his eyes were filled with tears.
"What are you looking at?" Chu Dongyu immediately looked up and found that next to Jiang Ze, a soldier was holding a knife on a woman's neck.
The most terrible thing is that this woman is holding a baby in her hands.
"Who is that?" Chu Dongyu asked curiously.
"Captain, those are my wife and children."
"Your wife...child..." Chu Dongyu's anger dissipated a lot in an instant. After all, Rogni was his beloved general.
Chu Dongyu had already made mistakes in doubting Rogni before, so he has always felt guilty towards Rogni. But now, Jiang Ze was threatening Rogeni's wife and children, so Rogeni must have been very anxious, so he stopped Chu Dongyu's dagger.
"Captain, please, please give in." Rogni pleaded with tears.
"Rogeni, the aggressive person is Jiang Ze. Chen Ling can exchange for 5,000 people, but Luo Erhu can only exchange for 5,000 people? Jiang Ze went too far. If I agree, I will tell the world that I am a compromise general who only compromises."
"Captain, I can't ask you too much, but you can try to lower the conditions, such as 5,000 civilians instead of 10,000?"
"Then can you understand, even if we exchange these ten thousand civilians, what's the point? We still have to fight to the death and attack the city. We don't know how many people will die by then."
"But can't you see? Jiang Ze can't give up this resource city, even if it costs Luo Erhu's life."
"Hey, what do you think?" Chu Dongyu asked other senior generals.
Several senior generals just sighed and shook their heads without expressing any opinions. Only Rani stood up and said: "Captain, there are at least five or six thousand of us, and we really need to be reunited with our families. If we can get these family members back, our soldiers will definitely be grateful and fight to the end, and they will definitely bring them all back." Retake the city of Er."
"I know, let me think about it again. I won't kill Luo Erhu impulsively, but I don't want to compromise too much. Let's do this. I will try my best to negotiate with Jiang Ze and maximize the interests."
"Thank you, captain."
After that, Chu Dongyu continued to argue with Jiang Ze. He demanded that all 10,000 civilians come back and asked Jiang Ze to hand over the ore and food resources of Dal City, as well as weapons and equipment from the military factory, etc.
Naturally, Jiang Ze would not agree, so the two of them talked back and forth but could not reach a consensus.
About an hour later, Jiang Ze gave a low price, which was five thousand civilians, plus ten tons of food resources and thirty tons of comprehensive supplies. Food resources include rice, fresh meat, fresh vegetables, fruits, etc., which are absolutely nutritionally balanced. The comprehensive supplies are mainly wood, cement, a small amount of ore resources, and hundreds of sets of armor, weapons, etc. Among them, materials such as wood and cement can be used to strengthen temporary camps. If the Chu army wants to fight a protracted war, these resources are urgently needed.
Rogni and the other lieutenants were quite satisfied with this result. At least they had not been able to eat or sleep well these past few days and were in urgent need of supplies. Moreover, the soldiers' compressed dry rations were only enough for two days.
But Chu Dongyu was very dissatisfied, and Duan Ran refused this request. He also shouted: "I don't need any food resources. I am not a beggar. If I really need good food, I can ask Nuer City to send people to deliver food resources."
Jiang Ze also retorted unceremoniously: "How many troops are there in Nuer City? Five thousand? Eight thousand? Or ten thousand. A huge provincial capital city only has such a small number of troops. Do you think Nuer City still has enough troops? Will extra troops be sent to escort food, grass, ordnance? Don’t forget, due to the large-scale migration of civilians, the number of civilians in Nuer City has now reached 300,000. With such a large number of civilians, public security management alone requires a lot Soldier. So I can guarantee that the Lord of Nuer City will not give you any resource assistance because he has no soldiers to escort these resources."
"You're farting. The city lord of Nuer City is my eldest brother. As long as I say a word, he will send people to deliver resources."
"Come on, we've been arguing with each other for more than an hour. I'm already hungry. You go back and think about it. I'll go have breakfast first. Anyway, I've given you the lowest price. Come to me after you think about it clearly." Jiang Ze After saying that, he will leave your city.
"Hey, don't go, don't go." Even though Chu Dongyu kept shouting, Jiang Ze still disappeared from sight.
"Damn it, he's really gone." Chu Dongyu was very unhappy.
"Captain, let's go back and discuss it first."
"Oh, that's the only way it can be."
On the other side, Jiang Ze received news from the hospital that Chen Ling had woken up.
Jiang Ze immediately rushed to the hospital and came to Chen Ling's ward.
Chen Ling burst into tears when she saw Jiang Ze.
"I'm sorry, I thought it would be like this, but I really didn't want it to be like this. I would rather die than exchange with Erhu."
"Okay, things have happened. Don't blame yourself. Think about what to do next." Jiang Ze took out a few tissues from the table and gently wiped Chen Ling's tears.
