Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

"Alas... Wu Kuang and the others are so stupid..." Upon hearing that He Miao had been killed, Chen Lin became even more disheartened.

He Jin is dead, so the most likely successor to He Jin is He Miao, who will be his backer in the future. He cut off his own path for personal grudges...

"No... There must be someone behind this..." Chen Lin suddenly reacted and his face changed slightly.

"Zhang Liao... Ding Yuan... So that's it." After Chen Lin pondered for a while, he suddenly realized.

Wu Kuang and others were used!

It's really sad. They are a loose group and cannot resist the enemy's calculations at all.

"He Jin and He Miao are dead. What's the future plan... is it to join the Yuan family? Or to join Ding Yuan? Or to join the low-key Weiguo general Lin Mu?" Chen Lin was making plans silently.

"He Miao's former subordinates, surrender and you won't be killed! Surrender and you won't be killed!" the voice sounded again.

If Lin Mu were here, he would definitely be able to tell who the owner of this voice is.

The one who killed He Miao was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan!!!
Zhang Liao was both happy and helpless at the moment. After being summoned by He Jin to the divine capital Luoyang, he thought that his chance had come and he would have the opportunity to become famous and stand out.

But in the blink of an eye, He Jin was killed. Only his head was left of his body, and his body was gone. He fell directly from the clouds to hell. It was extremely tragic.

The subsequent ruler He Miao was not ambitious and courageous, and he kept his troops in place, which made Zhang Liao speechless. He said, "You think you are General Lin Mu, who knows everything. You are now watching your brother being killed and your nephew Emperor Liu Bian being held hostage, and you are standing by and watching. That would be really stupid."

But I can understand He Miao. He Jin died, and the person who replaced He Jin was no one else but him, so he reacted like this. His series of actions, such as gathering his brother's old subordinates and soldiers, and then replacing them, in order to completely control the military power, showed that he wanted to succeed his brother He Jin.

But it's okay. If we capture He Miao and bring the troops to Ding Yuan, after some integration, maybe Ding Yuan can become one of the Three Dukes. Then Zhang Liao, Lu Bu and others can get some benefits and become generals with a genuine title.

This is also the reason why Zhang Liao was so active.

At the scene, the army's morale was already unstable and they had no fighting spirit. Now He Miao was beheaded, and the remaining troops led by him surrendered directly.

"Damn it! My head was snatched away by this lieutenant general!!!" The captain of the imperial carriage, Dong Min, turned pale.

He Miao's head is definitely very valuable. If he pays tribute to Dong Zhuo, he might even be granted a title of nobility! They have already secretly chosen a target to surrender to, and that is Dong Zhuo.

He conspired with Zhang Zhang and Wu Kuang just to take He Miao's head as a token of his allegiance...Now it has been intercepted by Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao is Ding Yuan's man, so he will definitely surrender to Ding Yuan.

Now... I've been intercepted... Damn... I feel so uncomfortable!!

When the imperial carriage commander Dong Min was about to command his soldiers to surround and kill Zhang Liao, he was stopped by Zhang Zhang and Wu Kuang, because at this moment all the soldiers had lost their fighting spirit and could not fight.

There was no other way, Dong Min could only look at Zhang Liao with hatred, waved his hand, and ordered his soldiers to tie up all of He Miao's former subordinates.

"There is a long way to go..." Dong Min said faintly. He had to give Ding Yuan and the others some eye drops later.

Soon, under the command of Zhang Liao and others, many generals quickly captured He Miao's subordinates.

If it were according to normal history, Dong Min, Zhang Zhang, Wu Kuang and others would have slaughtered all the captives. But this time... someone intervened, and these captives were no longer tools for venting hatred, but tools for exchanging money!
Zhang Zhang and Wu Kuang also cooperated. This was an agreement. They also received... money!
Zhang Liao also saw the behavior of the three people, but he didn't say anything. After all, he got the greatest credit, and he would turn a blind eye to the others. Even if they killed the prisoners afterwards, he would not say anything.

After extinguishing the fire on the battlefield and cleaning up the battlefield, several people led the soldiers back to the camp in triumph.

As soon as Dong Min returned to the camp, the man in black was already waiting in his tent.

When Dong Min saw the man in black, he didn't know what was going on. He always felt like there was a knife hanging over his head.

"The warrior appears and disappears like a ghost, which is really frightening." Dong Min flattered.

"Hehe... I'm just an errand boy. Captain Dong, is everything going well?"

"It went very smoothly. Except for He Miao and his 5,000 personal guards and 30 loyal lieutenants, we basically captured them all." Dong Min grinned.

The man in black on the opposite side said that ordinary soldiers are also valuable, and the more prisoners they can capture, the more money they can make.

"How many prisoners are there exactly?" the man in black asked with a hint of joy.

"We'll have to wait a moment to know the exact number." Dong Min looked up at the entrance of the tent and said with an anxious look on his face.

It was not him who counted the number of prisoners, but Wu Kuang. That guy was also quite greedy, otherwise he would not have participated.

The man in black nodded.

After that, the two of them waited for an incense stick of time, and Wu Kuang walked in quickly with a happy face.

"The Chief Secretary Le Yin is still alive. There are five Heaven-level generals, one hundred and thirty Earth-level generals, seven hundred and sixty-two Mysterious-level generals, one thousand three hundred Yellow-level generals, three thousand other ordinary generals, and one hundred and seventy-six thousand seven hundred and eighty-nine elite soldiers. There are also three hundred and seventy-two people with minor injuries, and ninety-seven people with serious injuries..." Wu Kuang read out the statistical data in detail.

The man in black twitched his lips when he heard this. Wu Kuang reported in such detail just to raise the price.

"Two hundred thousand gold coins per person for Le Yin, and the others... well... if there are less than two hundred thousand people... two million gold coins, how about that?" The man in black pondered for a moment and gave a price.

Wow, there are more than 100,000 people, including many high-level generals. The offer is only two million gold coins. If there are other players here, they will definitely drool at the man in black.

"It's too low..." Dong Min was unwilling before Wu Kuang could say anything.

"You two can bargain. If it's not too much, we can cooperate happily. How about that?" The man in black smiled faintly. "The total price is 20 million gold coins!" Dong Min bargained.

For an elite army of 200,000 soldiers, 20 million gold coins would only equal 100 gold coins per person, which is not a high price.

Lin Mu has invested more than this amount in the ordinary soldiers of the Great Wilderness Territory.

But this is cash, the situation is different.

After Dong Min made his offer, Wu Kuang looked at him and indicated that he agreed with the price, but they both knew that the other party would definitely bargain.

However, to their surprise, the man in black made the final decision: "Deal!!!"

"Deal...Deal?!!!" The two were stunned.

Damn... I should have known to withdraw 30 million gold coins earlier...

"Gentlemen, I won't bargain, not because the price is too low, but because I want to make friends with you two." The man in black said meaningfully.

"The price I have in mind is actually only seven million gold coins. But since this is our first transaction, I'll go along with you two. Just consider it as my sincerity, how about it?" the man in black said very tactfully.

"Since the gentleman wants to make friends with us brothers, it would be disrespectful for us to refuse." Wu Kuang felt much better.

"Okay, let's drink three cups first." The man in black picked up the wine bottle on the table and drank three bottles in one breath.

Seeing this, the two men also drank wine generously, and the atmosphere in the tent instantly became heated.

The man in black really wanted to be friends with Wu Kuang and the others, simply because Wu Kuang had a good son.

His son was named Wu Ban, a general of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. As a leader, he followed Liu Bei to participate in the war against Wu, and later followed Shu Han Prime Minister Zhuge Liang to participate in the war against Cao Wei in the north. In 231 AD (the ninth year of Jianxing), he defeated Sima Yi in the northern expedition. He was promoted to General of Cavalry and was granted the title of Marquis of Mianzhu. Wu Ban was known for his boldness and chivalry at the time. Because his cousin Wu was Empress Mu of Shu Han, he had a high status among the generals of Shu Han.

Wu Ban and his cousin Wu Yi are currently serving as soldiers under Liu Yan and followed him into Yizhou.

And Dong Min was no ordinary person either. He was Dong Zhuo's younger brother.

Therefore, planning against Wu Kuang and Dong Min is for... more far-reaching considerations.

Regardless, the first transaction was a success!
However, this was not the last transaction between them...

After three rounds of drinking, the man in black suddenly asked, "Do you dare to attack the other group? If you capture Chen Lin and the others, each of them will be worth a million gold!"

Dong Min was shocked when he heard this. My goodness, who on earth are these people? They even put Chen Lin on the table and wait for money to exchange.

"No... there are a lot of soldiers over there, and Zhang Zhang will not let us attack Chen Lin. He respects the chief clerk very much. The other soldiers also admire him very much." Although Dong Min was slightly tempted, he didn't dare to do it, and he didn't have the strength to do it.

The man in black saw this and seemed to be thinking about something. He was neither angry nor sarcastic, as if he had expected Dong Min to say that.

However, the man in black stopped talking and continued drinking.

After a while, the messenger outside shouted, "Mr. Chen Lin is here to visit!"

Good fellow, speak of the devil and he will appear...

"You two, I'm leaving first." The men in black didn't dare to meet Chen Lin and the others. They were not as easy to fool as Dong Min and Wu Kuang.

The man in black did not express his thoughts until he left the tent.

He actually had a temporary idea in his mind, which was to gather the soldiers in ambush outside to assist Dong Min and Wu Kuang in attacking Chen Lin and others. However, in that case, their existence would be exposed.

"Forget it... let's wait and see... Lord Lin Mu said that Dong Zhuo is a tiger and wolf, and he is unwilling to just stay outside the city. There may be a chance later." The man in black said secretly in his heart.

That’s right, this person is none other than Lin Mu’s subordinate, Le Jin.

He accepted the task from his lord Lin Mu and led his troops to ambush and take advantage.

Then he disappeared into the night.

While Chen Lin, Wu Kuang and others were chatting in the tent, Le Jin had already asked the people outside to take over all the prisoners.

Good fellow, he is indeed a captive. Apart from some covering clothes, he has no armor or equipment...

Even the Chief Clerk of the General of Chariots and Cavalry, Le Yin, was still dressed in elegant robes. However, he was tied up because he often yelled.

Regardless of etiquette, Le Jin ordered the 30,000 elite troops outside to quickly take the captives away from Zhuque Palace.

Half an hour after they left, Chen Lin brought a number of soldiers to the prisoner camp and found it empty.

"We are too late!!! Who is it?!!!" Chen Lin looked at the empty prisoner camp with not even a hair left, his face ashen.

Le Yin, the Chief Clerk of the General of Chariots and Cavalry's Mansion, was a good friend of his, and he came here to save Le Yin.

Le Yin yelled loudly in order to attract Chen Lin's attention and let Chen Lin come to rescue him. (End of this chapter)
