Ren closed his eyes and slowly lay down on the chair.

When Fran saw Ren's appearance, his face finally turned serious, and he said loudly:

"Okay, now let's talk about how to focus on the direction of attack.".

Soon, others began to argue about the main direction of attack. In short, no one wanted to attack from their own side. After all, the main attack direction would cause the greatest losses.

Renn didn't want to pay attention to this group of people at all. He knew that even if they spent a lifetime holding meetings, they couldn't deal with Xu Kuang.

Since the last defeat, Renn sent a group of spies to Mushroom Ridge. When he saw the battle report from the spies, he understood that if he really wanted to fight this battle, he had to do it quickly.

But these people are still trying to shirk the main direction of attack...

Ren sighed secretly, he was tired, he was really tired.

"Stop talking, Tomato Town is the main attack, that's it.".

Several others looked at Ren in astonishment.

"Ren...".

"roll.".

…

The lords left in dejection, leaving Ren alone sitting on the chair melancholy.

The housekeeper walked to Ren's side and asked:

"Master, do you really want to confront Xu Kuang?"

Ren frowned and rubbed the tea cup with his fingers until it made a squeaking sound. After a moment, he relaxed his brows and said:

"No, prepare your horse, take two thousand gold coins and a self-ringing bell, I'm going to see Xu Kuang."

The housekeeper hesitated:

"Master, if you even ring a bell...isn't it a bit too expensive...".

Ren said impatiently:

"What do you know! What I brought today is a meeting gift. If we really get to the negotiation table, I still need to pay more, but then again, the other companies will only have more than me, not less." .

"Master, are you so sure that Xu Kuang will win?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get ready.".

…

Two hours later, Ren En met Xu Kuang.

Xu Kuang's fingers tapped the table rhythmically, and his eyes looked at Ren with some surprise:

"Lord Ren, why are you here? Shouldn't you be preparing to join forces with the other five families to fight me now?"

When Ren heard this, he even sighed.

Xu Kuang already knew his own tactics before he had even discussed them.

"I came here to tell you that I am responsible for the main attack, but my family is still in your hands, so I am not prepared to contribute."

Ren waved his hand, and the butler beside him immediately understood and placed the chime bell and the box containing two thousand gold coins in front of Xu Kuang.

The sound of tapping on the table suddenly stopped. Xu Kuang sat up straight and asked:

"what do you mean?".

Renn said to Xu Kuang helplessly:

"I know that this battle must be fought. This is my sincerity. This chiming bell is my favorite item. I will mortgage it with you. When the war is over, I will redeem it." .

Xu Kuang was confused. He didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Ren En's gourd. This guy came here in a hurry just to give him money? He didn't quite believe it.

Xu Kuang thought for a while and said with a smile:

"Forget about the gold coins and the self-ringing bell, but you have to tell me the allocation of your troops.".

Upon hearing this, Renn spoke out the troop allocation almost without hesitation:

"This time I am attacking mainly, so I have the largest number of troops on this side. There are more than 1,400 people, all of whom are my troops. The other five sides total more than 3,800 people. The direction of Baron Flan is the first. There are a thousand people on the second main attack surface, and the others are just feints, so there is nothing to worry about."

When Xu Kuang heard this, his brain was working rapidly. He didn't know if the more than 400 people in his hands who had not experienced a few days of training could block so many people.

At this time, his subordinates came in and reported to Xu Kuang:

"Wang Xikui is back.".

"Let him in.".

After Wang Xikui came in, he looked at Ren En with doubts. He didn't understand why Ren En was here.

Seeing this, Xu Kuang asked:

"You know him?".

Wang Xikui immediately spoke:

"Baron Wren, lord of Tomato Town. On January 16 this year, a messenger arrived at Tomato Town from Orange Town Pegasus. On the second day, the six lords began to drive the refugees into Mushroom Ridge. Baron Wren has five sons and three daughters. Tomato Town has a total population...acres of land...it has more than 2,000 soldiers, cattle, horses, donkeys and mules...".

Renn couldn't help but shudder. He didn't expect that he had no secrets in front of Xu Kuang, as if he was naked. He was only glad in his heart now. He was glad that he had made the right choice and not made an enemy of Xu Kuang.

Xu Kuang waved his hand and said to Wang Xikui:

"Tell me about the distribution of your reconnaissance troops.".

Wang Xikui said expressionlessly:

"Yes, this battle is planned to be attacked from Tomato Ridge, with more than 1,400 soldiers and horses from Tomato Ridge headquarters as the main force. After the battle starts, Balsam Melon Ridge in the north will be used as the second attack point to start the attack. Since the north is a high slope, we have The terrain is advantageous, so Baron Fran has prepared a large number of catapults and ballistae, preparing to fight us in a long-range attack..."

After Xu Kuang listened, he nodded. He found that what Ren said was basically the same as what Wang Xikui said.

Ren's heart suddenly calmed down. The more detailed Wang Xikui said, the more it proved that the chance of winning this war was greater. Even if he could not get any benefits in the future, he would not suffer too much loss.

Ren asked calmly:

"Can you trust me?"

Xu Kuang smiled and said to Ren En:

"Whether you believe it or not depends on your specific performance, but I have something to say off topic, do you want to listen?"

Ren's brows knitted together again, and he asked:

"What digression?".

Xu Kuang used his magic power to photograph a map and highlighted a river and a road on the map:

"Both roads pass through Tomato Town.".

"What exactly do you mean?".

"I heard that the grass in Tomato Town is growing very well. You might as well let the farmers cultivate the grass and raise a group of cattle, horses, donkeys and mules. You will make a lot of money in the future. As for the waterway, you can build a dock and build another batch yourself. If you build a boat and train a group of sailors, you will also make a lot of money by renting the boat."

Ren's head was full of black lines, and he asked angrily:

"Are you okay? How long has that river been dry? Also, I have planted grass, what do I eat? What do my people eat?".

Xu Kuang smiled, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip.

He wasn't going to explain, he just wanted to see if Renn could seize the opportunity. If Renn didn't know how to do it, he would do it himself.

The reason why he did not consider Mushroom Ridge as the first choice for the dock was because a water gate would be built in front of Mushroom Ridge in the future to check whether soldiers and horses were passing through the waterway to the hinterland of Mushroom Ridge.

Seeing Xu Kuang's confident look, Ren En couldn't help but mutter:

"Is this guy so sure?".

Ren asked:

"Tell me, why do I make money doing this?".

Xu Kuang still smiled and did not explain.

Ren was helpless. He looked at Xu Kuang and asked about the ultimate purpose of his visit:

"Then tell me, what is your attitude towards Tomato Town?".

Xu Kuang gently put down the teacup and said with a smile:

"If Tomato Town is really just a show this time, then everything will be fine as usual. In other words, I can even help you make money."

Ren nodded, stood up and left. He couldn't stay in this miserable place any longer.

Xu Kuang smiled and said:

"I'll send an assault boat to take you down."

…

A moment later, Ren was lying on the lower reaches of the Mushroom River, vomiting wildly.

"This Xu Kuang definitely did it on purpose!".

Xu Kuang raised the corners of his mouth when he heard the news reported by his subordinates.
