Seven days ago, Prince Jian ordered the Chu army to withdraw from Chengyang and return Chengyang, which had been completely looted, to the Cai people.
As a result, the allied forces of Song, Cai, Chen, and Zheng entered the city, took over this important town, and rearranged the city defenses.
That night, the Chu army took advantage of the unsteady foothold of the coalition forces and invaded Chengyang along the previously dug tunnel. The coalition forces collapsed on the spot, losing more than half of them. The rest fled out of the city and retreated to Shangcai.
This night attack basically broke the backbone of the coalition forces. It was a brilliant victory. Within a few years, it can be expected that the four countries will no longer dare to challenge the Chu army.
Seeing this, Fei Hong couldn't help curling his lips: "An underground night attack? It's not an upright battle. It may become a laughing stock when it is introduced to the countries of the Central Plains."
Fei Wuji said: "Nowadays, there are very few battles with the Wu people. The Wu people are full of tricks and deceitful tactics, which makes Yin have a hard time guarding Xia Zhen. Not only that, after Zhao Yuan conquered the four kingdoms in the south, he also vigorously It is advocated that when using troops, one should follow a strange path. My son must not stick to the old ways, and he should be deceitful, no matter who is making fun of him."
Fei Hong nodded in agreement: "Yes."
Fei Wuji saw that he was quite dissatisfied, and knew that changing his mind would not be achieved overnight. He was wondering whether he should wait until he got married and send him to Xia Zhen, so that he could see with his own eyes the Wu people's fighting methods, and he would know how powerful they were. .
Fei Hong didn't know that his father had already decided to send him to the east to fight, so he continued to look down at the report. The report said that the Jin army arrived shortly afterwards, led by Jin Shangqing and Shangjun Zuofan Yang, with 600 military chariots.
The Jin army is an army that has fought hundreds of battles. The Chu army has just fought two battles. Although they won great victories, the army was tired for a long time and the city was seriously damaged. It was difficult to station for a long time and it was disadvantageous to defend the city. Therefore, Prince Jian ordered to withdraw from the city. Positive.
After returning to Shichengfu, Prince Jian reported to the King of Chu to take credit for his victory, but the victory fell into the hands of Fei Wuji. It would definitely not work to stop him and refuse to report him. Fei Wuji was thinking about what he should do now.
Fei Hong looked at it and said worriedly: "The prince wants to return with success, is he so anxious? This time to attack Cai, the troops were sent out inexplicably. It said that the helper palace captured the demon cultivator, and the victory was bizarre. The city Yang is a fortified city. When was the last time the city was breached? My son doesn’t even remember..."
Fei Wuji said: "Thirty-two years ago."
Fei Hong said: "Yes, it has been thirty-two years and he has still been unable to capture Chengyang. As a result, he rashly sent out troops to capture the demon cultivator, and ended up destroying the city. Not only did he destroy the city, but he also defeated the four-nation coalition again. This time I'm afraid that if the experience is enough, the king might really call him back to Yingdu, and our family's good days will come to an end."
Fei Wuji said: "He heard that Master Zhen was born, so he was worried and anxious to come back and sit on his throne."
Fei Hong couldn't help but sneer: "A one-year-old child, is he worried now? My father said that the prince was cowardly and suspicious, and it turned out to be true."
Fei Wuji said: "How should we deal with the great victory in Chengyang? What are your ideas?"
Fei Hong thought for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "Why is he so lucky? Chengyang, which could not be conquered for more than thirty years, was conquered as soon as he went there? And he was allowed to defeat the Four Nations Allied Forces? Why didn't he continue with the Jin Dynasty? Are we going to fight? It would be better if we lose! But now the whole army has retreated."
Fei Wuji pondered: "Yes, Chengyang couldn't be defeated in thirty years, how could he capture it in one go..."
Fei Hong waited for a long time and then asked: "Over there at Yanluo Mountain, the two of them said that they hope to pay for it with congratulations..."
Fei Wuji waved his hand: "Yanluoshan is what you want. You have the final say on your fief, and I don't care about it as a father. You can step back first. As a father, you must think about it carefully and don't let anyone disturb you." .”
At this time, Bo Pu came to Yingdu Academy, paid a visit to Xue Zhong and Wu Sheng, and made an offer to them: "Congratulations to the two of you on your journey. I tried my best to persuade, spent my words, and used my Que family as a guarantee, and finally ordered Fei to do so." Shi let go."
Xue Zhong was overjoyed: "Thank you very much, but I don't know what it is like?"
Bo Pei said, "Fei agreed and Cui Ming paid three thousand gold to congratulate Fei and Jing on their marriage."
As soon as the price was announced, Xue Zhong suddenly took a breath of air: "Three thousand gold? This..."
Bo Pe said: "Xue Xingxing, I have tried my best for this condition. You two can calculate for yourself how much Yanluoshan is worth? I heard from Fei Hong that Yanluoshan has 38,000 acres of land. There are more than 6,000 savages who have been incorporated into the feudal people. In addition, there is a large lake and seventeen peaks of mountains. If they are placed within a hundred miles near Yingdu, not to mention three thousand gold, not even six thousand! Now only three thousand gold will be collected, and they will Cui Ming should be satisfied with such a fertile and abundant Yanluo Mountain."
Xue Zhong was almost angry. Of course, normal business can be negotiated like this. The problem is that Yanluoshan does not belong to the Fei family, but to us. You sell our things to us, then tell us that we get a half discount, and let us Contented? How can there be such truth in the world?
He looked at Wu Sheng, who really refused: "Instead of doing this, it's better to exchange. Then please ask my uncle to reply to Fei. Cui Ming was willing to exchange according to the previous conditions, so he exchanged Zhuosha Yi plus two hundred gold for Yanluoshan. "
Bo Pu was startled and said: "Both of you, I have reached an agreement. Why did you two go back on your word? How do I explain this?"
Wu Sheng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, brother. I will offer it later as I wish. It's just that I can't get these three thousand gold. Not to mention Cui Ming can't get it. No one in Yangzhou can get it. Fei's conditions are really achievable." Not even."
Bo Pu rolled his eyes and asked: "How much can you two walk? Give me a bottom line, and I can go back and tell Fei."
Wu Sheng said: "At most one thousand gold, Cui Ming can't get out even this one thousand gold. He still needs two schools in Yingdu and Yangzhou as guarantees to borrow money for him."
Bo Pu asked: "I only heard that Sun Xingxing and Cui Ming were good friends before, so I came here to plead for him, but I didn't know that he was so good that he would rather be his guarantee?"
Wu Sheng said: "To be honest, there are also members of Brother Xue and Sun in the Yanluoshan fiefdom."
Bo Pu suddenly realized: "I see..." He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then resolutely said: "Since there are two walking members, then Bo Pu should make friends with them, make his own decisions, and change the congratulatory ceremony from Three thousand gold reduced to two thousand six hundred gold, how about it? But there is one thing. There are two Taoist nuns in Yanluo Villa, named Taoist Priest Shen and Taoist Priest Xue. When Fei heard about their names, she was astonished as a heavenly being. She needs to ask Cui Ming to take care of these two Taoist nuns. A Taoist priest has been sent to Yingdu, and Fei wants to worship him in person, so he can hear his Taoism every day, is that possible?"
Wu Sheng was stunned: "Master Shen and Master Xue?"
Bo Po laughed and said, "Is it possible that Sun Xingxing doesn't know about it? Cui Ming knows how to have fun, and he doesn't tell you two if he has fun..."
Wu Sheng nodded with a smile and kept nodding: "Very good, very good... Well, let me ask Cui Ming first."
Bo Pu covered his mouth and said happily: "To be honest, you two are walking together. I thought that Fei's love for Yan Luoshan might not be about the mountain, but about the Taoist priest, haha, haha!"
Wu Sheng also laughed and asked, "I wonder who in the Fei family is interested in it?"
Bo Po curled his lips: "Who else can it be? The groom."
