The next day, Niu Dali's spitting all night long really worked. Many of the government soldiers who wanted to commit suicide were persuaded to come back. They began to take off their clothes and armor and work hard.

After the camp was broken up, more than 17,000 captured officers and soldiers, led by 2,000 captured bandits, worked in the logistics of the Taoyuan Army. Of course, Song Shaohong and some officers were not among them. Instead, they were put together in prison cars and enjoyed real prisoner treatment.

Liu Mang estimated that at the current speed, it would take until the afternoon to reach Jinzhou. As for the enemy, they should also know that Song Shaohong's army was completely destroyed, right?

.....

In Taoyuan City, in the city defense camp near the east gate, Captain Shan Ji and three battalion commanders were sitting in the hall drinking wine.

Chirp~hiss!

"The wine the boss gave me is delicious. This is how people should live!"

"Yeah, yeah, this is called the pit toilet, it tastes really good, only Brother Ji can get it from the boss."

"Hey, don't you see how much merit Brother Ji has accomplished?"

The three battalion commanders all started to flatter Shan Ji.

If Shan Ji hadn't been supporting these old brothers, he wouldn't have been able to become the battalion commander. How could he not flatter Brother Shan Ji?

Just then, a guard walked in.

"Report to the captain, there is a businessman visiting outside."

Pheasant was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the guards and his brothers and pointed at his nose. "Merchant? To meet me?"

Several people were puzzled. How could a businessman come to visit a gangster like Shan Ji?

"Are you sure it's the businessman who wants to see me?"

"Well. That's what he said, and he brought two servants carrying boxes."

Hearing this, Shan Ji looked at his brothers and said, "Oh? Then let's meet?"

After the guards left, an old man in gorgeous clothes was brought in soon, along with two servants carrying a box.

"Jiangnan Yanshe, Xiang Kun meets Captain Luo."

Shan Ji looked at the old man named Xiang Kun who came in and just bowed slightly to him.

However, compared to these empty words, Shan Ji was more curious about why the old man came to see him! So he asked curiously:

"What do you want from me?"

"Haha, I've heard for a long time that Captain Luo once defeated over 20,000 invading enemies with only a hundred men. I was deeply impressed by him, so I came to visit him today."

"Haha, that's great. So I'm already so famous?" Shan Ji said happily.

"Yes, after seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed... a talented person." The old man really didn't know how to describe this. He could wear such a heroic military uniform so poorly. He could only give you a casual compliment.

"Haha, you see! This is why the boss likes to promote me." Shan Ji showed off to his brothers with a proud look on his face.

"Yes, Brother Ji is a handsome man."

....

The old man was speechless, but he thought that such a person should be easy to bribe.

"Ahem, Captain Luo, I'm here today to discuss something. Could I have a moment to talk?"

"What do you have to say? Everyone here belongs to me, just say it straight."

After Shan Ji said this, the old man thought that everyone here was Shan Ji's confidant. He looked at them and said, "I wonder what Captain Luo thinks of the position of city lord?"

"What?"

Pheasant was stunned and couldn't understand what was going on.

The old man thought Shan Ji didn't understand, so he said again: "Well, if you want to sit on the throne of the city lord, we can help you."

This time, not to mention the pheasant, even the three battalion commanders understood it, and then looked at the old man in amazement, and then at the pheasant.

Shan Ji saw that his brothers were looking at him with strange expressions.

I suddenly felt panic for no reason. Damn it, are you trying to trick me?

"Old man, don't say that. I am loyal to the city lord and have absolutely no intention of rebellion."

The old man thought that who wouldn't like power? Perhaps the temptation was not enough, so he opened the box next to him.

Shan Ji and the others followed the old man's movements. When they saw the box opened and the neatly arranged Liu Datou inside, their eyes widened.

The name of the silver coin "Liu Datou" was said to have come from the city lord himself.

Pheasant was shocked.

I guess no one in Taoyuan City, except for the people in the bank, has ever seen so much money!

Several people swallowed and looked at Xiang Kun in disbelief.

Pheasant asked, "What are you doing?"

"As long as you take over Taoyuan City, these ten thousand silver coins will be yours." The old man said calmly.

"We will also ensure that you take the position of Taoyuan City Lord later."

"Old man, you are looking for death. Are you trying to harm me?"

Although Shan Ji was dazzled by the ten thousand silver coins, he was not too upset.

It felt like those ten thousand Liu Datou were all staring at him, so how could Shan Ji dare to betray him?

"Haha, Captain Luo, do you think Liu Mang's 10,000 Taoyuan soldiers can withstand the imperial court's 300,000 troops?"

"If you control Taoyuan City now, and surrender to the imperial court when the imperial army arrives, you will have made a great contribution. With this merit, it will not be a small matter to guarantee you the position of Taoyuan City Lord."

Seeing the old man still chattering away, Shan Ji's heart was about to explode. He stood up with a ferocious look on his face and shouted angrily:

"Nimma, I'm going to kill you today."

"Guards, arrest them all."

There was a loud commotion, and several guards rushed in from outside, holding the old man and his two servants.

Xiang Kun's heart trembled. What was going on? It was said that the gangsters were easy to fool!

Xiang Kun was panicking. Was this a mess?
