Chapter 236 The stone squeezes out the oil
Sha Dediao's head had never been kicked by a donkey, so when he heard that he wanted to increase the money, he shut up tactfully, but he had a more money-loving judgment on Yan Luo Gaojin in his heart.
Sha Dediao is the head of the Sha family and half of the dog-headed military advisor to the master Sha Zhenjiang. Speaking of Gubeizhai, it was really as he said. Sha Zhenjiang didn't want to trek into this muddy water, but the eldest son was above his gaze and looked down on him as a local tycoon. So Sha Dediao left, but he didn't expect to lose all of himself.
The Sha family is not short of money, and his master Sha Zhenjiang is even more generous. After Sha Dediao saw the fierceness of the Gao family army, he felt that this enemy should be resolved rather than formed. The iron-killed Camel City and the general of the flowing water, the general Du is indeed powerful now, but in just three to five years, he has to move his butt away.
On the contrary, Gao Jin looked like he was only a hundred households, but his soldiers were probably not even as good as the thousand households. Now he has occupied a treasure land like Gubei Village, and he can fight with money and soldiers. If he doesn’t make friends well and win over them to be friends, he will definitely be retribution in the future!
If you lose a war, what is the point of death? He Sha Dezhao wants to hold a funeral. This is his ability! If you return to Camel City like this, the master will not only not blame him, but also praise him and reward him!
So Sha Dediao simply smiled and started talking to Gao Jin. She didn't think of herself as a prisoner at all, which made Zhang Jian sneer on the side.
In terms of shamelessness, I am really not as sloppy as this shabby!
Although Zhang Jian was despised, he knew that Sha Dediao's approach was right. The Sha family was not a general, but a powerful man. The general had to be honest and famous, but the powerful man had to be loyal. So Sha Dedia could immediately change his face and flatter him like this high-ranking flattery, but he couldn't do such a thing, even if he knew that he would keep the Zhang family, he had to be low and small.
"Gaobaihu, my master respects heroes the most. A great hero like you, like Gaobaihu, my master must..."
"Person Sha, if you have time another day, I will definitely visit your mansion."
Gao Jin looked at Sha Dediao who was talking nonstop, and felt that this guy was also a talented person. At least he had never seen such a shameless face, but the Sha family was really interested. According to what Sha Dediao said, the Sha family was not among the generals in Camel City, but his wealth was not weak, so maybe everyone could sit down and discuss business and make money together.
It is one thing to not be afraid of offending others. Gao Jin is not the lonely star of Tiansha. He likes to be enemies all over the world. Although sooner or later he will sweep all the old and corrupt things into the garbage dump of history, this does not prevent each other from making some benefits before that and strengthening their own strength.
Seeing Sha Dediao leaving with a smug look, Zhang Jian said to Gao Jin, "Gao Baihu, you won't really believe this guy's nonsense. Sha Zhenjiang is not a good thing. He is a famous smile tiger in Camel City. He calls him brother in person and stabs him in the back!"
"Yeah!"
Seeing that Zhang Jian finally spoke, Gao Jin smiled and then said, "Zhang Baihu, this kind of thing is boring. The eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother. In this Camel City, who is not a two-faced sword, one in front of others and one behind the back!"
"I won't talk nonsense, just say it, what can I do to exchange for the lives of dozens of people in the Zhang family?"
Gao Jin valued real profits. Although Zhang Jian's personal soldiers and servants were strong and did not lose money as laborers, he caught hundreds of bandits this time, and this coolie was not short of money. The best way to convert it into cash is to be converted into cash.
"High hundred households, why don't you offer a price first and let me see if my Zhang family can afford it?"
Zhang Jian smiled bitterly. His Zhang family's small family had even smashed their family's wealth this time. If Dalang and the others couldn't return to Camel City, the Zhang family would collapse.
Gao Jin hesitated when he heard this, so he looked back and found that Chen Sheng was not there, the only one who could discuss how to make the ransom. So he could only shout Yang Dayan and said, "Big Yan, how much does it cost to manage Zhang Baihu?"
Yang Dayan was stunned. Unexpectedly, his second brother would ask him such a question, so he simply said, "I think this is a hundred taels!"
When Zhang Jian heard the price next to him, he immediately shook his head, "Gaobaihu, even if my Zhang family is selling hard, they can't make up these thousands of taels!"
Looking at Zhang Jian with sincere faces, Gao Jin felt it was very troublesome and kept the Zhang family as a laborer. To be honest, he was afraid that Zhang Jian and the others would be beaten to death by the Green Forest Bandits who were also prisoners, and they would all be killed...
"Zhang Baihu, you know what bargaining is. At least you have a price. What if he can do it!"
Zhang Jian was stunned. He looked at Gao Jin, who was as merciless as a businessman in front of him, and could not connect with the name Gao Yanluo at all. After a while, he returned to his spirit and said, "Gaobaihu, can you see a thousand liang be good?"
"One thousand taels, you're sending the beggar!"
Before Gao Jin could speak, Yang's eyes were already leaping up. Zhang Jian's subordinates and personal soldiers were more than 40 people. He just couldn't settle the score anymore and knew that these people were more than this price.
"Zhang Baihu, you are not sincere at this price!"
Gao Jin stood up from the stool, then looked at Zhang Jian who was confused and said, "Zhang Baihu, I thought you were a smart person, why don't you understand? Now, except for me, Gao Jin, everyone else is thinking about your death. Sha De Diao and the others, the green forest bandits who were sold as cannon fodder by you also wish they could eat you alive."
"Think about it again, if you are fifty taels per person, can't your Zhang family even get two thousand taels of silver?"
Zhang Jian didn't know what to say. The Zhang family could take out the two thousand taels, but the family's assets were also emptied. When these people went back, they had to re-built horses and armor, and they had to spend money to raise them. This all cost money!
"Gaobaihu, I wonder if the horses and weapons can be returned after the ransom is paid?"
"What do you think?"
Gao Jin looked at Zhang Jian who was talking in a low voice and asked back. He now understood Sha Dezhao's meaning of the dilapidated family. The Zhang family is just an empty general, and even Liu Xun's family can still make up ten thousand taels!
Zhang Jian suddenly laughed. He was really desperate. He advised his father not to trek into this muddy water. However, his father insisted on his own and bet on the entire Zhang family's family's wealth. Without Dalang and other servants as minions, how long can the Zhang family last in Camel City? Can those shops be kept?
If you have no money or soldiers, you will be very useful to the generals. I am afraid that even the scoundrels in Camel City will be able to pee and shit at the door of Zhang’s house!
"Gaobaihu, Zhang is willing to be a lackey under his sect. Can you give me a way out for the Zhang family?"
Zhang Jian knelt down, and the proud inside lowered his head, his voice full of bitterness.
Gao Jin wanted to refuse, but thinking of Zhang Jian walking all the way from Camel City, he saw that he was a general, and he didn't think that he lost a lot of money in this battle. But if he had not trained and mobilized young men in Gubeizhai and Hekou Fort before, Zhang Jian would win today. Afterwards, everyone would praise him for making quick decisions and using his troops with courage.
"You're very calculating and want to eat for nothing..."
"Big eyes, shut up."
Gao Jin looked at Zhang Jian who was kneeling in front of him and bowed his head and silently, and drank Yang Dayan beside him, and then said, "Get up, Gao promised you."
Zhang Jian stood up from the ground, and all the emotions in his heart suddenly disappeared. From then on, he no longer owed the Zhang family, and was just a lackey under the Gao family.
After Zhang Jian surrendered, the bandit camp was almost done. Gao Jin wanted to gather his troops back to Gubei Village, but he didn't expect that Chen Sheng sent someone back to report the news. The more than 300 soldiers of the Camel City fought stubbornly. If the fifty cavalry he brought with him were attacking for a strong attack, it might be damaged, so he did not act rashly for the time being.
Gao Jin did not expect that in the end, the camp soldiers who were not registered were more accomplice than the group of generals, so he brought half of the horse team, Zhang Jiansha Dediao and others to Chen Sheng's side. As for the remaining people, Zhang Chonggu brought the prisoners and baggage back to Gubei Village first.
The soldiers of the Camel City camp, who formed a round formation, looked frightened. The horses not far away just trapped them and did not launch an attack, but even so, most people were still unsure.
"I think it's better to drop. What's the use of us holding on like this?"
Several leaders in the camp gathered together, and someone spoke, but they were interrupted immediately, "We have run so far, we still have so many food and supplies. As long as we escape back to the wall, we will become bandits at that time..."
"Stop talking, there are soldiers and horses coming again!"
Seeing the horse team holding torches in the distance flying like a fire dragon, the leaders couldn't help but look anxious and their eyes were full of despair. If it were just the fifty horse team in front of them, they might be able to resist it, but there were nearly a hundred horse teams coming over, so what would they do to resist?
Soon, Gao Jin met with Chen Sheng. Looking at the soldiers of the Camel City Camp who were stirring up because of their arrival dozens of steps away, he said straight to Zhang Jian and Sha Deci beside him, "Zhang Baihu, Deputy General Sha, I have to ask you to go there and tell them that I will give them a cup of tea, either surrender or die, all depends on self-determination!"
Sha Dediao and Zhang Jian rode their horses together to fight. Although they wanted to kill each other, Gao Jin, the big Buddha, was there, and they could only turn enemies into friends, smiling on their faces and cursing in their hearts.
"What...who?"
Seeing Sha Dediao and Zhang Jian, the Camel City soldiers who were guarding with spears in front of them didn't see clearly for a while, but just shivered when they asked questions, obviously they didn't have much fighting will.
"Wait, it seems like it's Zhang Shuai and Deputy General Sha..."
Someone in the camp recognized Zhang Jian and Sha Dediao, and soon all the camp soldiers became confused. The same was true for those leaders. At this time, Zhang Jian spoke, "You have all surrendered, you can't escape..."
"What else can you say? Everyone has listened to it. Gao Baihu said that if he doesn't surrender after a cup of tea, he will all die."
Sha Dediao couldn't stand Zhang Jian's hypocritical behavior, but instead shouted loudly, then left without looking back. After Zhang Jian was silent for a while, he turned around and followed. The high-ranking master sent them to persuade the surrender, just to let the soldiers know that even they surrendered, and insisted on it meaningless.
"puff!"
Looking at the blade that was coming out of his chest, the leading officer who had previously yelled to escape back to the wall and fell into the enemy's arms widened his eyes, "You..."
"If you hadn't bewitched me, how could you have provoked Gao Yanluo?"
He cursed fiercely, then cut off the dead head and took the lead and said loudly, "Everyone shouts, we are willing to surrender."
Soon Gao Jin heard the sudden sound of wishing to surrender. The soldiers of the Camel City honestly lost their weapons and walked over to surrender in groups. The leading officer even held a bloody head and said, "Grandmaster, it's all this Han Si who bewitched people..."
"Who is this person? He is quite decisive."
