"Master Yuan, you might as well give it a try!" Zhong Zijin reminded.

Yeon Gaesumun nodded, took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket, picked up ten coins, and stacked them on the table. Then he took two steps back, flipped his wrist, made a sword dance, and slashed down with a lightning-like sword.

"Crack!" With a sound, not only were all the copper coins cut into two, but the corners of the coins were also cut off. If it hadn't been for Yeon Gaesumun's quick retraction, he would have almost been cut to the ground.

"This..." Except for Zhong Zijin, the other three people were startled and looked at the knife in Yuan Gaisuwen's hand with wide eyes.

"Good sword, intact!" Yeon Gaesowun looked at the sword in his hand and praised it again, with unconcealable love in his eyes.

(To chop copper coins with a knife, you can actually chop open a few with a kitchen knife. As long as you have the strength, you can use real ancient copper coins. So it is not surprising to chop ten coins with a steel knife, although this requires strength and a relatively good steel knife.

, this is a bit exaggerated, you readers should just think that Yeon Gae So-moon is very powerful.)

"The sword is a good sword. Double-layered leather armor and iron armor cannot defend you, but they are not cheap either." Zhong Zijin said with a bitter smile.

"How much?" Yeon Gaesumun asked, hanging the knife on his waist.

"Three hundred taels of silver, or equivalent."

"Three hundred taels, it's not expensive."

"If it is only used by Mr. Yuan, it is not expensive, but it is hard to say if there are more. One thousand taels would cost 300,000 taels. I wonder how many the Yuan family can buy? Five thousand? Or ten thousand?" Zhong Zijin narrowed his eyes.

, asked with a sneer on his face.

You must know that although these aristocratic families have a big business, their expenses are also not small. If we really count the family property, they still have several million taels, but what can be used is only a few dozen or a million taels at most.

It will shake the foundation.

"This..." Yuan Gaisuwen couldn't help but be speechless. Even if the Yuan family had money, they wouldn't dare to spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for a while.

"Ahem! It's a good sword. If it can be equipped with an army and used for raids, it will be quite good." Yuan Taizuo said to help his son.

"We will discuss this matter later. Let's withdraw our troops first," said the head of the Wu family.

"There has been no movement in Baiyan City. There should be no pursuit. Let's cross the river immediately." The young family leader said.

"Okay, I'm going to prepare to withdraw the troops immediately." The head of the Wu family was shocked, and then he couldn't wait to get up and leave.

"My son is not willing to give in?" Yuan Taizuo, the only father and son of the Yuan family in the big tent, asked.

"Yes, father." Yeon Gaesumun closed his eyes, then opened them and answered respectfully.

"Not only are the soldiers frightened, but the three major families are also frightened. We alone are unable to support ourselves. We cannot survive if we continue to use up the force. After all, there is a Pingyuan King in the country who would rather our strength is reduced.

If you want to leave, if you don't negotiate for peace, Baiyan City will only have to cross the border and attack. How much will it cost? We can't afford it." Yuan Taizuo exclamated.

"Yes, the child understands, but why did his father send Chi Xiao away?" Yuan Gaisuwen asked in confusion.

"Alas! Today is different from the past. Although we defeated Sui Emperor Yang Guang in the past few years, we Goguryeo still suffered heavy losses. After all, we cannot compare with the vastness and richness of the Central Plains. Think about it, the Central Plains was in chaos because of this, how much better are we?

Liaodong was captured by the station, Buyeo City was defeated, Silla and Baekje were attacked, a series of events, not only the royal family's strength was severely damaged, but also us." Yuan Taejo sighed, before Yuanzi was around, he felt headache

I was in a bad mood because I had pressured someone. It was only when he truly took power and completely controlled the family that I realized the pressure in all aspects and how hard it was to maintain a big family. Not to mention going further, even if you want to keep the current situation, it will be very difficult.

Nervous.

This means that you are not in your position and do not pursue your political goals. On the other hand, you are not in your position and do not know the hardships. Many times, on the surface, you see others in high positions and have unlimited scenery. Only when you get to that point do you realize the hardships and the power.

If you don't catch it, it will be cold at high places.

"There's no need for Chi Xiao, that sword..."

"Our family has obtained Chi Xiao for more than two hundred years, so what? The sword is just a dead object, and its sharpness is only better than this sword. And it can only be used by one person. How useful is it?

The most important thing now is foreign aid, and Liaodong is a powerful foreign aid. When you completely control Goguryeo and defeat Liaodong, Chixiao will come back." Yuan Taizuo said clearly.

"Father taught you that!"

"Arrange the withdrawal. The Yuan family will be yours from now on. You must learn to think more and have a long-term and broad-minded vision." Yuan Taizuo waved his hand tiredly.

"Yes! Retreat, my child!" A joyful look flashed in Yuan Gaisu Wen's eagle eyes, he bowed his head and saluted, and then walked out of the tent.

………………

"Goguryeo has withdrawn its troops. I really want to give them a hard blow!" Su Dingfang sighed while standing at the top of the city.

"Now is not the time. Our main energy will be on the Central Plains and Goguryeo for a long time to come. We need to balance their internal strength and maintain a stalemate." Zou Yu shook his head and smiled.

"My subordinates are just unwilling to do so. They have finally been forced to this point. Killing them will completely break their muscles and bones." Su Dingfang said with a helpless smile.

"Yeah, I'm not willing to give in, but this is just the power of the family. If we really want to destroy it, Pingyuan King Gao Jianwu, without any serious worries, can concentrate his troops to fight us. There is no benefit in delaying it like this." Zou Yu agreed.

road.

"Yes! But Goguryeo's current strength should be able to calm down for a while."

"Haha, that's inevitable. You have to know that there is still a Silla who is eyeing it. But before turning to the Central Plains, we still have an account that we must settle!" Zou Yu said with half-squinted eyes.

"General, are you talking about the Mohe tribe?"

"Yes, most of this nation is uncivilized and barbaric. They attack us again and again. If we don't give them a hard blow, we won't have a long memory." Zou Yu nodded and said fiercely.

"Well, if we defeat them completely, the rear will be much more stable in the future, and Goguryeo will have one less strong reinforcement." Su Dingfang agreed.

"Haha! That's of course, but for now we'd better capture Benxi first!" Zou Yu laughed confidently.

After this battle, Goguryeo should not think about counterattack in the short term. Now Liaodong has finally gained a firm foothold. After several years of hard work, it has gained stability. There is no reason to be unhappy.

"General, don't worry, with the Yuan family's warrant, we can't take Benxi lightly, and the general will be shameless!" Su Dingfang said with a confident smile.

As part of this transaction, the Yuan family issued a warrant, asking Zou Yu and others to pretend to be Goguryeo people, so that they could easily win the deal, but the condition was that the news couldn't be leaked.

"Okay, I'll take over from the other side. I'll clear out Benxi this time and leave an empty city for them, haha!"
