Chapter 212 Breaking into Xuzhou City

Miss Zhou's meaning is obvious, she wants him to directly attach to Mu Changan and follow the footsteps of this 'opener of a new era'.

To put it bluntly, it is a direct surrender.

surrender?

How could it be possible, he was the Patriarch of the Zhong family, one of the three major factions in Xuzhou City, and he had more than a thousand soldiers with strong combat effectiveness under his command. Looking thousands of miles around, he couldn't find an opponent who could match him.

With such a powerful strength, how could one say that he would surrender just by surrendering.

What's more, all of this is just what Miss Zhou herself said. No one knows if it's true. This kind of mysterious and mysterious thing is really hard to believe.

"Master Zhong still needs to make a decision early. If the people from the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce occupy the southern area of ​​the city and form a new three-legged confrontation, then even if they choose to attach themselves, the benefits will be much less." The Mengsha woman stayed behind. After saying this, he quietly left.

Zhong Hong looked at the back of the Mengsha woman leaving, squinted his eyes and called a servant, and ordered: "Send someone to watch Miss Zhou, and report back immediately if there is any movement."

"Yes!"

……

Apart from the Zhong family, the rest of the Zhao family were not much better, they were in a hurry to meet privately; as for the Sun family, it was even more difficult. I heard that Sun Qinchong, the head of the Sun family, beat and killed three concubines in a row after hearing the news. , enough to see his anger.

However, before the three major forces in Xuzhou City took action, another enemy attack broke out outside the South City Gate. It was still Yongle City's army, but the number changed from one hundred to four hundred, and 300 of them were former captives. .

"Pfft~"

Sun Qinchong spurted out a mouthful of old blood, fell to the sky, and fell into a coma.

"Too... so shameless!" On the south gate, another general of the Sun family pointed at Mu Changan below, his hands were trembling, wishing he could go down and kill him on the spot.

Mu Changan didn't care at all, and rode on the white horse with a smile on his face, and shouted to it: "You all surrender quickly, or don't blame me for being cold-blooded, and beat you to pieces!"

Fighting a war is really too easy, at least for Mu Changan.

Take a batch of captives, then recruit them, pay a monthly salary, sign a contract, and immediately use them as your own soldiers, and the momentum is absolutely high.

No problem.

The guard at the city gate was so angry that the shameless Mu Chang'an simply didn't say anything, turned around and left, not bothering to care about it.

In fact, the city wall of the South City Gate is not very high, only five meters in height. A master like Mu Changan can climb it with a single jump. Although ordinary soldiers can also do it, but the city wall is guarded by soldiers with bows and arrows. , If you rush forward rashly like this, there will definitely be casualties. This is not in line with Mu Changan's fighting style.

"Hurry up and think of a way, how to take down this south city gate!" Mu Changan brought Mengcheng and Zhang Mingyang in this attack. Basically, it is one kind, go directly, there is no other way.

Seeing that Mengcheng and Zhang Mingyang failed to come up with a plan, Mu Changan also shook his head. Yongle City has developed to the present, and its shortcomings have also emerged. That is the extreme lack of talents, such as fighting, not even a military adviser.

"Looks like it's time to recruit a new wave of talents." Mu Changan thought to himself.

Naturally, Mengcheng and Zhang Mingyang didn't know that they were rejected by Mu Changan just like that, and they were thinking of strategies and thinking of ways with sad faces.

And at this moment, the city gate suddenly opened...

What's the situation?
I saw a small group of people running out from inside, and the leader of a soldier desperately waved to Mu Changan and the others.

How could Mu Changan miss the opportunity, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, go!"

Immediately, he was the first to ride the white horse, and with the life-and-death sword in his hand, he was in full swing, defending the top of the city wall and shooting cold arrows down.

"Damn it! Let the arrows go, let the arrows go, and use your spiritual power to shoot the arrows out!" The general of the Sun family obviously discovered that someone had opened the city gate without authorization, and immediately ordered the soldiers above to shoot arrows, and then sent someone down to close it again door.

'whoosh whoosh~~'

Arrows were shot from above, but none of them had spiritual power, and the accuracy gap was too great, they were intentionally letting Mu Changan and the others in.

Mu Changan was overjoyed, knowing that this group of soldiers must also have the intention of surrendering, he accelerated his speed and rushed in first.

The city gate was opened, and the defenders on the city wall deliberately released water, and the 400-man army drove straight in. Naturally, there was no suspense, and the south gate was captured in minutes, and the general who was trying to escape was caught.

"Surrender?" Mu Changan asked.

"I'm a general of the Sun family, how can I vote for you!" The general surnamed Sun was rather stubborn.

Mu Changan expressed his admiration, waved his hand and said, "Pull him down and kill him."

The general surnamed Sun was shocked: "No...no, I surrender, surrender!"

"Surrender is not something you can vote for if you want. Goodbye." Mu Changan watched the general surnamed Sun being dragged away with a smile, then turned around and began to straighten out the prisoners.

A total of 500 people surrendered this time, and with the addition of 400 people from our own side, Mu Chang'an's force has now reached more than [-] people.

Among the more than 48 people, [-] of them were captives. In order to let them know the benefits of surrender, Mu Changan took the lead in giving them a monthly salary of [-] per person, a total of [-].

OK, small amount.

Of course, the monthly salary is signed together with the contract. A soldier’s contract is for one year, which is the same as a normal labor contract. After one year, it depends on the performance to decide whether to continue to sign with the soldier.

This not only prevented the soldiers from eating and waiting to die at Mu Changan's place, but also prevented the possibility of the soldiers rebelling.

It can be said that in the current Cursed God Continent, only Mu Changan can achieve this step.

Who allowed him to restore the contract to divinity?

This golden finger is really useful.

After rectification, the entire Sun family over there was in chaos.

There are only a thousand soldiers under the Sun family, and now nearly [-]% of them have been beaten by Mu Changan. The entire Sun family is considered to be seriously injured, and it is too late to make up for it. This will be in a hurry. , and even some Sun family members have already started packing their bags and preparing to run away.

Anyway, now that the spiritual energy in the mainland is exhausted, the world is so big that you can go anywhere, and you can find a place to occupy the city and become king easily, why bother to fight Mu Changan here.

The head of the Sun family, Sun Qinchong, also thinks this way. This failure is an inevitable event. It is not only a mistake in his decision-making, but more importantly, the opponent is too fierce. It was a wrong decision for him to provoke the opponent from the beginning.

As for the foundation businesses currently operating in Xuzhou City, he actually doesn't value them. Anyway, as long as there are spirit stones, he can make a comeback anywhere.

So Sun Qinchong took advantage of the fact that Mu Changan was still recruiting soldiers who surrendered at the city gate, and hurriedly summoned the remaining soldiers to prepare to flee. As long as you are obedient, the monthly salary in arrears will be paid immediately after you find a new place to live.

Reluctantly appeasing the remaining soldiers, Sun Qinchong secretly led his tribe and a group of men to flee.

When Mu Changan got the news, he was a little surprised. He was surprised by Sun Qinchong's decisiveness. Xuzhou City, which has been in business for so many years, gave up as soon as it said it would. It's a pity that he is too stingy, otherwise he wouldn't be able to call in so easily.

In fact, Mu Changan's approach is the same as Qiqiaozong's previous effort to dig out disciples of Fengyuezong with flower spirit stones at the foot of Fengyuezong Mountain. He used spirit stones to poach disciples of the sect and reduced Fengyuezong's own strength, thereby gradually eroding the entirety of Fengyuezong. Fengyuezong.

If Mu Chang'an hadn't stumbled into Qiu Chuyuan by mistake, the Fengyue Sect would have been destroyed.

To put it bluntly, in today's Cursed God Continent, as long as you have Lingshi, you have grasped the key to success.

"Run away, don't chase, surrender, don't kill, this is the suzerain of this young master, let them go." Mu Changan decided to give up chasing and killing Sun Qinchong. Of course, the more important reason was that he had received news that the areas adjacent to the north and west of the city and the south of the city suddenly A lot of troops appeared, and it was obvious that the other Zhong and Zhao families were defending him.

Mu Chang'an didn't dare to lead his soldiers away like this, for fear that the place he managed to hit with his back foot would be stolen by someone.

So this Sun Qinchong just left.

It is important to stabilize the situation first.

And just when Mu Changan began to occupy the territory that once belonged to Sun Qinchong, Sun Qinchong and his party, who had already run twenty miles away, were forced to stop.

Because they were stopped by someone.

The other party is the Zhong family, one of the four great families in Xuzhou City.

"Old man Zhong Hong, you are trying to put this old man to death!" Sun Qinchong was riding on a horse, looking gloomy at an elegant middle-aged man opposite.

He is the head of the Zhong family, Zhong Hong.

"Brother Sun, what you said is wrong. My virtuous brother just heard that Brother Sun was in distress and came here to support him. How can you say that he is putting Brother Sun to death?" Zhong Hong said with a kind smile on his face.

He is indeed happy now, because Miss Zhou's prediction has come true, and Sun Qinchong actually ran away on his own initiative...

It's not in vain that he sent people to stop here first. If Sun Qinchong can be captured, wouldn't all the spirit stones that the Sun family has gathered these years belong to him?

Naturally, Sun Qinchong would not believe Zhong Hong's words, but the current situation is critical, if he delays, in case Mu Chang'an chases after him, then he will be caught in a pincer attack and close to death.

So we must get rid of the obstacles in front of us as soon as possible.

beat.

It must be a bad move. The opponent's 500 people are not opponents at all.

We can only negotiate peace.

Thinking of this, Sun Qinchong said in a deep voice: "One hundred thousand spirit stones, let the old man live."

"Oh, what did you say, Brother Sun, the patriarch of the Sun family, one of the four great families in Xuzhou, is worth only [-] spirit stones..." Zhong Hong teased with a smile.

"50, this is the highest price." Sun Qinchong hesitated for a moment, and directly raised the price by five times.

Now is not the time to bargain.

50, this price is indeed not too low, Zhong Hong was a little moved, but he hesitated when he remembered what Miss Zhou had said before he left.

"Zhong Hong, this is already the highest price this old man can give. If you insist on not letting this old man live, then you are trying your best, and this old man has to make a living!" Sun Qinchong is also cruel, the big deal Just give up everyone under him, and fight Zhong Hong to the death.

Now Zhong Hong hesitated even more, Miss Zhou's words lingered in his ears, making him hesitate to make up his mind.

In the end, when Sun Qinchong was about to lose his patience, Zhong Hong finally nodded and agreed: "60, I will let you go."

"make a deal!"

……

In the direction less than two miles away from them, a veiled woman quietly watched Sun Qinchong lead his men to leave, and sighed softly: "Originally you can have a better future, why should you be blinded by the benefits in front of you."
