Chapter 378 – Trading Sun Jian Army for Gold

May 15th, 190 A.D.

Chen Qun worked fast. His dispatched envoy reached Xuchang and visited Cheng Yu.

The envoy did not know about Chen Qun's real status, so he went through the formality. He also offered the negotiation about Sun Jian Army's service.

Cheng Yu did not mind it as he knew about the ploy. However, he wanted to extort this innocent envoy a bit.

"How much for the buy-out?"

Yuan Shu's officer was astonished, "B-Buy out?"

"Yes. How much will I have to pay if I want to hire all of them permanently?"

"S-Sir, you must have jested. We can only offer a temporary service. This matter is something I cannot decide."

"Is 200,000 gold do?"

"Eh?"

"How about 300,000?"

"N-No, I meant-"

"500,000. I won't give more than this."

The officer gulped. He began calculating in his mind.
