"Brother! The battlefield has been cleaned up!"

Gongsun Yue returned excitedly.

"In this battle, we killed a total of 1,852 Wuhuan cavalrymen."

"We seized 1,700 of the best Wuhuan war horses."

"Only about 100 of the 2,000 Wuhuan cavalrymen escaped!"

"A great victory."

"An unprecedented great victory!"

Gongsun Zan was also excited when he heard the report.

"Capturing 30% is already a very remarkable victory."

"But I never thought that this time we would almost kill all of the 2,000 Wuhuan people."

"And we didn't suffer any losses."

"Such a record is unprecedented and will never be repeated."

Gongsun Zan tightened his grip on the Bailian steel spear, and his heart became even more eager.

"All this is because of the forging master's unique weapon."

"The Wuhuan bastard was stunned at first sight."

"Otherwise, we would never have achieved such a crushing victory."

"Yes!" Gongsun Yue agreed, nodding his head like a chicken eating rice.

The Baima Yicong and Youzhou cavalry around him all had faces filled with the joy of victory.

This victory was too great.

They, who had always been suppressed by the Wuhuan cavalry, were now proud.

If everyone could be equipped with the fifty-ply sword made by Tiezhuang in the future, how powerful would that be?

The soldiers were eagerly waiting.

"By the way, didn't you say before that you still needed the money from the Tiezhuang forging master?" Gongsun Zan asked.

"How much is still missing?"

"We have to make up for it no matter what."

"We have to give the master more."

"We can't lose face."

"This..." Gongsun Yue hesitated.

"Speak!" Gongsun Zan frowned and scolded.

"When have we, the men of Youzhou, been so slow!"

"Five hundred fifty-ply precious swords, priced at seven thousand each, a total of three and a half million coins."

Dang!

The steel spear in Gongsun Zan's hand fell to the ground.

"My precious spear!"

Awakened by the crisp metal sound, he quickly leaned over to pick it up.

He took it back and carefully examined it, fearing that it would be bumped.

He felt very distressed.

"Three... three and a half million coins..."

Gongsun Zan swallowed his saliva.

This was far from his estimate.

However, the bold words had been spoken in front of the soldiers.

What should he do?

He couldn't just eat up what he had said, right?

Such a huge amount made him feel troubled.

In his impression, each time he purchased weapons before, it was only one hundred thousand and twenty coins, which was enough.

But he overlooked that what he bought this time was a fifty-reinforced fine steel sword.

It was completely different from the standard knives he usually used.

"This does not include the three long spears made of one hundred-reinforced fine steel that the master gave us."

Gongsun Yue whispered on the side.

"Cough cough cough..." Gongsun Zan, who had just taken a few breaths, coughed violently.

His brows were all knitted together, not knowing how to deal with it.

With a face full of embarrassment, he glanced around the wilderness.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

"How many war horses were seized this time?"

He asked seriously.

"One thousand seven hundred horses." Gongsun Yue hurried back.

Gongsun Zan was very disappointed, "You kid, you must not have learned the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic well."

"Go and calculate carefully again."

Fearing that his brother did not understand what he meant, Gongsun Zan pointed to the Wuhuan war horses and secretly pointed to the steel spear in his hand.

"Oh!" Gongsun Yue suddenly realized.

"Brother, I... oh no, I'll go count again!"

"Indeed, the calculation just now was not rigorous."

He ran away, but ran back not long after.

"Report to the Cavalry Commander, a total of 1,500 Wuhuan war horses were seized this time."

"Well, well done." Gongsun Zan stroked the goatee on his chin, very satisfied.

The market price of a war horse is at least 20,000 coins, and the highest is 100,000 coins.

It's not the kind of BMW that is picked out of a hundred miles.

That kind is more expensive, all over 200,000.

The 200 horses that were wiped out from the seizure are worth at least several million.

Not to mention, these are the best Wuhuan war horses, and their value is more than that.

It's enough to deduct the money for the Tiezhuang weapons.

It's just that the favor of the Bailian Steel Spear is not easy to repay.

Gongsun Zan knows clearly that if the weapon is put in Luoyang.

It will be hyped up to an exaggerated price.

The main thing is that he doesn't know where to buy this unique weapon except Tiezhuang!

"Let the soldiers comfort the people."

He issued an order.

"Kill the horses that died on the battlefield and the horses that can't survive and give them to the villagers and soldiers to eat."

"Leave the rest to the villagers."

"Also, shut your mouths tightly."

Gongsun Zan looked atA fierce one.

"Anyone who dares to discuss the number of captured war horses in private will never get the weapons of Tiezhuang again!"

The Baima Yicong and Youzhou cavalrymen around knew it.

For the weapons of Tiezhuang, they would not tell even if they were beaten to death!

He returned to the village with the soldiers, and the villagers came out to greet him.

"Thank you, General!"

At the entrance of the village, a group of villagers knelt down and cried loudly.

Although they were rescued, many people in the village died.

Many of them were young and old. In a village of two or three hundred people, young women and children were the most left under protection.

"Alas!"

Gongsun Zan sighed.

Without men, this village would no longer exist.

The year was not good to begin with, and the grain harvest was poor for consecutive years.

Now that the village has lost its main labor force, it is not known how to survive this year.

"Brother."

Gongsun Yue said close to him.

"Why not move these people to Tiezhuang?"

"The forging master has plenty of seafood, so it's no problem to feed these hundred women."

"Really?" Gongsun Zan's eyes lit up.

"That's it."

Leaving these women and children here will starve to death, so it's better to find a way for them to survive.

He ordered the soldiers to find iron pots in the village and cook horse meat on the spot.

After calming the villagers, he told them the situation.

The women and children had no idea, so they let Gongsun Zan say.

Pack up everything.

Let Gongsun Fan lead the Youzhou cavalry and 1,500 captured war horses back to Jicheng.

Gongsun Zan ordered Gongsun Yue to lead the way.

Bring two hundred white horse volunteers and two hundred Wuhuan war horses.

Carry the remaining young women and young girls in the village.

The long team went northeast.

...

In front of Tiezhuang City, five hundred temporary workers lined up neatly.

During the five days of work, they had already imprinted the requirement of queuing in their hearts.

As soon as the owner of the manor came, all those who were still resting stood up and lined up quickly.

"Thank you all for coming to Tiezhuang to work."

Liu Yu said under the gaze of the temporary workers.

"Now, distribute the rations promised to you."

He gave an order, and Lao Zhang led the villagers to pull out a cart of dried seafood.

"Give us seafood!"

The temporary workers started to discuss.

"It's still dried seafood."

"Is this also distributed 20 kilograms?"

"Of course, it's 20 kilograms per person per day. During the five-day work period, each person will be distributed 100 kilograms of dried seafood." Liu Yu pointed to the seafood on the wooden cart and said.

"The owner of the manor is too kind. He gave us dry goods and counted them as 20 kilograms."

The temporary workers were very happy.

"If it was distributed wet, wouldn't there be a lot left?"

"The owner of the manor is too generous!"
