Chapter 213 Fight if you don't surrender!
When Mu Changan got the news, he was searching the Sun Mansion in the south of the city, but Sun Qinchong obviously left in a leisurely manner, taking almost all the things that could be taken away from the mansion, leaving only these servants and beautiful Concubine.

"Hand over all of your valuables!" In the end, Mu Chang'an stretched out the devil's claws towards these servants and concubines, and the Sun Mansion immediately started to fly wild.

As for Sun Qinchong slipping away from Zhong's family smoothly, Mu Chang'an felt that this Master Zhong might not have taken care of him.

"An ignorant person can't see the general situation at all. How did he become the leader of the three major powers in Xuzhou?" Mu Changan walked towards the lobby while holding the golden hairpin he snatched from his concubine.

This gold hairpin is good, the style is very beautiful, take it back and give it to A Xue, and use it as a trick for her.

"According to my subordinates, the Zhong family used to be the weakest of the four big families in Xuzhou, but it has risen suddenly in the past few years, not only becoming the top of the four big families, but also driving out the Li family, one of the four big families. Everyone guessed that the Zhong family might have encountered a noble person to help them." Zhang Mingyang informed Mu Changan of some of the situations he had investigated.

"Meet a noble person to help?" Mu Changan shook his head, he didn't believe it, would he take the initiative to let the entire Sun family go if he met a noble person to help him?This situation is directly annexed, wouldn't it be the wisest choice to use it to strengthen one's own strength?

Even he, Mu Chang'an, understands this truth, so doesn't that nobleman not understand?
But these are not important.

"Send people to guard the checkpoints in the north and west of the city to prevent Zhong and Zhao from making a surprise attack. In addition, we have just taken down the area in the south of the city, and the residents are uneasy. You should send people to calm them down and maintain law and order." The top priority at the moment is stability. Regarding the situation in the south of the city, after the rectification is completed, they will plot against the two forces in the north and west of the city, and finally complete the unification of the entire Xuzhou.

If you want to do it, just do it with a big ticket!
Mu Changan poked Nobile fiercely.

"Yes, young master." Zhang Mingyang left in response.

Mu Changan waited until Zhang Mingyang left, and then continued to walk towards the lobby, but the ground was a little slippery due to too much snow, so he had to be careful walking.

"It's been snowing for several days, why hasn't it ended yet?" Mu Changan raised his head to look at the sky, the gray was filled with endless white, and there was no sunlight at all.

But after all, this was the first winter he had spent here, so he didn't understand the situation. He thought that the snow in Cursed God Continent would be like this for several days in winter, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. He shook his head and walked into the lobby.

"Young Master, I have your letter." As soon as he entered the hall, before he had time to look at it, a soldier ran in from outside with a letter in his hand.

"Letter?" Mu Chang'an was puzzled. In this world, there are still people who write to him?Could it be Tang Chenyu and the others?
That's impossible!How did Tang Chenyu know that he was in Yongle City, and how far Qiu Chuyuan is from Yongle City is still unclear. Nowadays, the environment is bad, whoever dares to run around may be intercepted and killed for money It's over.

After receiving the letter handed over by the soldier, Mu Changan glanced at the envelope. It was written with the words "Mu Changan's personal letter" on it. The handwriting was delicate and elegant, as if it was written by a woman.

Not to mention, it was the first time he received this kind of letter, whether it was on the Earth or the Cursed God Continent, and he was quite looking forward to it. He opened the envelope, took out the letter inside and opened it.

Tomorrow, five miles south of the city, under the old locust tree. '

Just a few words.

Gone.

There is no specific reason or name.

Most importantly, what time is tomorrow?
Do you have to wait there for a day?
It's just a joke.

Throwing the letter casually into the brazier beside him, Mu Changan sat in the grand teacher's chair in the hall and began to be in a daze, all the words in the letter appeared in his mind.

Who is it that wants to see me?
What does he want to do?
Think about it.

Mu Changan's upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

then.

He fell asleep.

……

When he woke up, the sky was already a bit gray, and he had a pair of blankets on his body. I don't know who put them on him. He took off the blankets, got up and walked out the door, only to find that the snow in the sky had finally stopped.

The snow, which had been falling for seven days, finally stopped.

After a day of rectification, the southern area of ​​the city finally stabilized, and the residents began to accept the master from Yongle City, and the two families in the north and west of the city did not make any attacks. Xuzhou City is still a three-legged force.

In the early morning of the next day, Mu Changan left the original Sun Mansion and walked towards the south of the city alone. He wanted to see who wanted to see him so much, and he was so secretive that he had to make an appointment alone.

The distance of five miles is not far, and soon Mu Changan arrived at his destination.

But looking at so many trees in front of him, Mu Changan fell into deep thought. He didn't know which one was the old pagoda tree.

So he started riding back and forth.

'Da da da~'

'Da da da~'

Run left and right for two miles.

Run back and forth for two miles.

Running and running, Mu Changan actually forgot the purpose of his coming, and had such a good time, that he didn't even notice a veiled woman standing not far away.

Finally, Mu Changan was tired from running.

He reined in his horse and stood up, lying on it panting, only then did he see the veiled woman in the distance.

"Are you the one looking for me?" Mu Changan shouted.

The veiled woman nodded slightly, stood in the distance, and replied: "It's the little girl."

The sound is nice and comfortable to listen to.

"What are you looking for from me?"

Mu Changan felt a little strange, he was sure that he didn't know this woman, logically speaking, how could two people who had never met before suddenly get connected?
"I have a plan for you to subdue Zhong Hong."

Zhong Hong, the head of the Zhong family in the north of the city, was also one of the biggest forces in Xuzhou City before, occupying almost half of the existing territory in Xuzhou City.

Subduing Zhong Hong, this made him quite interested, and asked, "Let's hear it."

He didn't ask why the other party did this. It's not important. If you don't ask, she will take the initiative to bring it up after all, because usually she must ask for such things.

"Zhong Hong is greedy for money and afraid of death." The Mengsha woman said softly.

Isn't this nonsense!

Who is not greedy for money, who is not afraid of death?

But he didn't refute, but asked, "Then what should I do?"

"Make him afraid..."

……

On the second day after the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce occupied the south of the city, it announced the recruitment of soldiers. The monthly salary of six hundred spirit stones attracted many young residents in the south of the city, and the number of recruits reached a thousand in one day.

Including the previous number of troops, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has 2000 people in an instant, surpassing the other two forces in one fell swoop, and becoming the most powerful force on the surface.

The Zhong and Zhao families were also terrified when they got the news, and they dispatched troops to station at the checkpoint at the border with the south of the city, and began to recruit soldiers. It is on par with Chang'an Chamber of Commerce.

However, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce did not stop recruiting soldiers. There are nearly 2 people in this city of Xuzhou, half of the population is in the Zhong family's territory, and the other half are in the Zhao's and Chang'an Chamber of Commerce. Although there are only more than [-] people in the territory , but the source of recruits is still sufficient.

So in the next two days, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce recruited more than a thousand people, reaching a total army size of 3000 people.

In three days, a total of 2000 people were recruited.

It cost 120 million spirit stones.

When the news came out, the Zhong and Zhao families were miserable.

In fact, their recruitment lasted only one day, because there was no way to keep going.

Even if their recruitment cost is only half of that of Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, it still costs 1000 spirit stones to recruit 30 people; moreover, the monthly salary they gave to soldiers was based on the uniform monthly salary of soldiers in Xuzhou City, each of which was [-] Lingshi.

But now, since the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce raised the monthly salary of the soldiers to [-] spirit stones without authorization, the two of them had to raise the monthly salary of the soldiers. Even if it was raised to [-] now, the soldiers in the barracks were still unwilling.

After all, if there is no comparison of this thing, they may be overjoyed, but once there is a comparison, they will feel unbalanced when they find that others have taken more than themselves.

The soldiers were unwilling, and the Patriarchs of Zhong and Zhao were also very uncomfortable. The Lingshi, which had increased by nearly one million, went out, but the result was not good. Do you think it is uncomfortable?
Uncomfortable is uncomfortable.

There is still a way to think about it.

The Zhong family and the Zhao family began to unite in private, preparing to jointly resist the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce and make up for the lack of military strength.

Mu Chang'an was unafraid, and the recruitment of soldiers continued.

And spread the news of the recruitment of high monthly salary to the north and west of the city, and began to dig the walls of the other two areas.

Residents who want to be soldiers are not stupid. The Chang'an Chamber of Commerce recruits [-] soldiers. Not only do they only have [-] soldiers, but they have stopped recruiting now. Naturally, there is no need to think about which side is better.

As a result, those who wanted to earn a higher monthly salary secretly left the city, then circled around and sneaked into the south area of ​​the city through the south gate, and signed up to join the army.

On the fourth day.

Another 1000 were recruited.

A total of 4000 people were reached.

It has surpassed the sum of the Zhong and Zhao families.

Now, the Zhong and Zhao families really panicked.

Especially Zhong Hong, who called Miss Zhou early in the morning and asked: "Miss Zhou, what should I do now, what should I do!"

The Mengsha woman sat there quietly, and replied after hearing the words: "The situation is unstoppable, Mr. Zhong should have made a decision earlier."

Zhong Hong sighed lightly when he heard this, and said, "It's still too late..."

To be honest, Zhong Hong has not thought of surrendering until now, because he is very clear that once he surrenders, all the resources accumulated by the Zhong family over the years will be handed over to others, and they may even be suppressed by the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce , when the time comes, life and death will be in the hands of others.

But he was also afraid. As the saying goes, there will be eggs under the nest. If the war with the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce is defeated at that time, the entire Zhong family will be burned.

This is a dilemma.

"I heard that the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce is developing rapidly, but it doesn't have any capable people under it. The city owners of Yongle City are all descendants of the former Yongle City City Lord. Now that the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has entered Xuzhou City, it will be sooner or later to unify Xuzhou City with their financial resources. Things, and the huge Xuzhou City will definitely need a capable person to manage it at that time, if Master Zhong can take the initiative to surrender, with Master Zhong's ability, it will be a breeze to seize the position of the city lord of Xuzhou City."

The Mengsha woman seemed to be talking about an unimportant matter, her tone was extremely flat.

After hearing this, Zhong Hong was a little moved. He still knew a little about the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce. What Miss Zhou said was not wrong. Currently, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce only has one general, one city lord, one housekeeper, and one internal affairs officer.

Nothing else.

If the other party really occupied Xuzhou City, they would definitely have to find someone to manage it. If they were the first to surrender, it would be considered a timely gift. At that time, with their own ability and reputation, they might not be unable to obtain the position of Xuzhou City Lord.

Unknowingly, Zhong Hong subconsciously believed that the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce would eventually defeat them and the Zhao family and complete the unification of the entire Xuzhou city.

It's just that Zhong Hong still hesitated, all of this was his guess, and he was still not reconciled, he thought that he still had some strength, uniting with the Zhao family, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce might not dare to fight them directly.

"Da da da~"

Footsteps were heard outside, and a servant ran in, knelt down and proclaimed: "Master, the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce has launched a war against us!"

"What!" Zhong Hong was taken aback. He was only at the stage of recruiting soldiers. Why did the other party fight as soon as they said they wanted to?

"How many people sent troops? Where are they now?"

The servant replied: "Three thousand troops have been dispatched, and they have almost arrived at the northern pass of the city."

'hi~'

Zhong Hong took a deep breath and sent out three thousand troops!

This is to compete with him!

"what should I do now?"
