Xi Zhong was also a little confused by the sudden laughter. He asked softly,"General, why are you laughing?"
"It's fine, it's fine." Chen Tong waved his hand casually.”
[Name: Xi Zhong]
[Strength: 31 (Physique 16, Martial Arts 17, Courage 69)]
[Intelligence: 97 (Military Strategy: 96, Strange Plan: 98, Strategy: 97)]
[Commander: 70 (Marching 52, Arranging 96, Managing 55)]
[Political Affairs: 93 (People's Lives: 90, Criminal Law: 95, Knowledge of People: 95)]
He really threw away a sesame seed and picked up a watermelon.
If strategists were classified according to the ranks of generals, Chen Gong would at most be a first-rate strategist. This Xi Zhong in front of him was definitely the best strategist!
The key was that Xi Zhong's smile was very comfortable. One look and one could tell that he was easy to get along with.
Chen Tong raised the wooden spear he had casually brought out from the drill ground and pointed it at a group of bandits."May I ask if Sir was kidnapped by this group of thieves?”
"No. The place where Zhong lives is far away from Chenliu. There are many thieves. Zhong just wasted some words and asked these strong men to send him on his way.”
Chen Tong saw the embarrassment flash across the bandit's face and understood.
These people had most likely robbed Xizhong along the way and were then tricked into taking up the position of guard by his glib tongue.
However, since he had sent such a great sage over, Chen Tong did not mind giving some benefits.
He immediately took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it to the leader."Mr. Guards, you have done well. Take it and exchange it for some wine to drink.”
However, the leader did not buy it. He picked up the silver ingot and weighed it in his hand.
Looking at Chen Tong, he didn't see a large group of county soldiers behind him for a long time, and his heart felt a little low.
"General?" He laughed sinisterly. To send away a beggar, his brothers had to travel across the river to send him here, and he was going to send him away with just a silver ingot?”
"Oh? What do you think?"
"Before we set off, Mister promised that if you meet the Cavalry Lieutenant Cao Cao, you can exchange it for ten gold.”
Chen Tong looked at the bandit leader as if he was an idiot.
Ten gold?
This fool probably didn't understand what ten gold meant to this era.
Especially when Cao Cao was recruiting soldiers and buying horses, he wanted to split one coin into two.
Compared to spending money to redeem people, it was easier to kill them and snatch back the loyal actors.
"Is it really ten gold?" When Chen Tong looked at the leader again, his eyes were filled with ridicule.
It was as if he was looking at a dead man.
Unfortunately, this stupid thief obviously did not know that he was about to die. He straightened his neck and shouted at the top of his voice,"Of course!"
"Alright, come and get it yourself."
Xi Zhong tugged at the leader's sleeve and slowly shook his head.""Leader, one silver ingot is not a small amount. The human heart is not enough."
"Humph! It was clearly you who personally promised me ten gold coins. To think that I treated you so courteously along the way. You want to send me away like this? No way!”
After saying that, the leader shook off Xi Zhong and strode towards Chen Tong.
In his view, Chen Tong was not old and did not bring many soldiers with him. There was no movement of reinforcements behind him. What was there to worry about?
Even if they fell out, at worst, he could call his brothers to kill these county soldiers and take their horses and armor. He should be able to exchange them for a lot of money.
"The morals of the world are declining day by day. Was it worth it for some external objects?”
Xi Zhong sighed.
The leader let out a blood-curdling scream as his entire body was pierced through by the wooden spear in Chen Tong's hand like a stick of candied hawthorn.
The corpse was lifted up high by the wooden spear, and blood dripped down from the spear.
"Mountain bandits are small fries and cause trouble. Kill them without mercy!”
The order was given.
The twenty cavalry formed a simple formation and swept across, harvesting lives like they were chopping vegetables.
No matter how many ordinary mountain bandits there were, they were still a motley crew without any organization or discipline. How could they be a match for the county soldiers?
In just an instant, cries and wails resounded through the forest. Every minute and every second, someone died.
Chen Tong gently tapped his horse and slowly came to Xi Zhong. He grinned and said,"Mister won't blame me for killing your guards, right?”
Xi Zhong's heart skipped a beat.
He and the mountain bandits were just using each other and had no deeper interactions.
Moreover, the leader was greedy and deserved to die.
But this young man in front of him was so decisive!
He killed without a word, and there was no discomfort between his brows.
This kind of person was naturally a general.
Most importantly, he was too young!
"This demon deserves to die. However, the plan that was offered to Cao Gong is still in his arms. Please take it out.”
"I can't be called a general." Chen Tong pulled out his spear and immediately took out a bloody bamboo scroll from the corpse and put it in his pocket.
As for Chen Gong? Chen Tong did not plan to chase after him.
There was no need for that.
After chasing for so long, Chen Tong almost understood.
If Cao Cao really didn't want Chen Gong to leave, he could use his tactics to win him over and Chen Gong wouldn't be able to leave.
The reason why they had sent troops after Chen Gong was to create an impression that they valued talents.
After all, he was Boss Cao's savior. If he left just like that without any movement, others would say that Cao Cao had burned the bridge after crossing it.
As the battle drew to a close, Chen Tong ordered his men to clean up the battlefield before returning with Xi Zhong.
That day,
Cao Cao warmly welcomed Xi Zhong.
After talking with him, he immediately introduced him as a confidant and worshiped him as a military adviser.
As for Chen Gong, who hadn't managed to get her back, he didn't ask anything.
