Chapter 1168: The major forces in the rivers and lakes
Liu Xiu and the others smiled helplessly, and they all returned to their positions to get busy for Liu Yu. Ren Hongchang pulled Liu Yu to sit on the large recliner designed by Liu Yu himself, while she half leaned into Liu Yu's arms and asked softly: "Does the husband want to know about the civil organizations controlled by the Cao family and the Xiahou family?" ”
Liu Yu nodded like pounding garlic, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, you can tell Liu Yu about it!" ”
"Hmm." Ren Hongchang responded obediently and said: "The non-governmental organization that is close to the Cao family is called 'Jinfeng Drizzle Building', which is formed by the union of eighteen large restaurants in Yuzhou, and has a history of nearly 100 years. Each of its restaurants is guarded by more than 100 guards in three shifts, and its personal combat power is strong enough to be included in the realm of second-rate masters. Based on various intelligence analysis, we have reason to believe that most of those guards were private soldiers from the Cao family. The non-governmental organization secretly controlled by the Xiahou family also has a history of nearly 100 years, and its name is 'Liufenbantang'. It is said that the twenty-six inns under its name have a uniform minimum cost, which is six and a half cents of silver. Like the Cao family, the guards in the Sixth and Half Hall who can be classified as second-rate experts are basically from the Xiahou family. ”
"Do you know who the leaders of the Golden Wind Drizzle Building and the Six and a Half Hall are?"
"The owner of the Jinfeng Drizzle Building is called Cao Xiong, a red sleeve knife is known as the first knife in Yuzhou, and its eighteen subordinate owners also have first-class skills in the rivers and lakes. The head of the six-and-a-half-hall hall is called Xiahou Shangyuan, and his kung fu of 'shaking mountains and thunder' is extremely strong, and the twenty-six branch hall masters also have a place in the rivers and lakes. ”
"That's not right", Liu Yu asked with some doubts: "Didn't you say that the Cao family and the Xiahou family controlled more than fifty percent of the restaurants and inns in Yuzhou?" Why is there only so much branch in the Golden Wind Drizzle Building and the Six-and-a-half Hall? ”
"Stupid man." Liu Xiu, who was immersed in work, suddenly muttered in a low voice. Liu Yu looked at her innocently, but she didn't pay attention to Liu Yu's correction of the official document.
Liu Yu cast her puzzled gaze on Ren Hongchang, and she glanced at Liu Yu with a smile. said: "How can the Cao family and the Xiahou family hand over all the business in their hands to that first floor and one hall, this is just like the truth that the husband said, 'all eggs can't be put in one basket'!" ”
Liu Yu, who didn't expect this for a while, could only laugh at himself and continue to ask: "What other powerful non-governmental organizations are there in my sphere of influence?" ”
Ren Hongchang gave Liu Yu a fragrant kiss intimately and said: "The strongest non-governmental organization in Fujun's sphere of influence is the 'Blue Dragon Society' formed by Fujun and Deng Zhan, which currently has more than 60,000 helpers, including as many as 3,000 people with second-rate or more skills. After several years of hard work, the Blue Dragon Club has controlled more than half of the sales of liquor and tea in seven states. The daily gold is more than 10,000 taels. ”
Deng Zhan, male, 36 years old. Luoyang people. His person is witty and cunning, ruthless, and his kung fu of Rouyun swordsmanship is invincible all over the division, and he is really a top figure in the rivers and lakes. After Liu Yu became the ruler of Luoyang, a charm technique recruited him into the account and wanted to entrust him with important tasks. He was ordered to lead more than 100 first-class masters who were absolutely loyal to Liu Yu to form the Blue Dragon Society in Luoyang to monitor the rivers and lakes.
I didn't expect it to be only a few years old. He has developed so well, he deserves to be the person I chose! Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction and motioned for Ren Hongchang to continue.
"The second major force is the Koshotaka Trading Company, the world's largest trading company......"
Liu Yu smiled secretly, in fact, in terms of real strength, Xingchanglong Trading Company can be called the first no matter where it is, but Liu Yu's instructions to Su Shuang are to keep their heads open and never expose their strength, which he has done very well. And the reason why Liu Yu wanted to openly form the Blue Dragon Society and compete with Xingchanglong Trading Company was to avoid letting people know the relationship between Liu Yu and Xingchanglong Trading Company, after all, Xingchanglong Trading Company and the major forces now have very close interests exchanges. In order to earn more money for them and control their economic lifeline in secret. Liu Yu had to wear an extra vest!
“…… The third and fourth are the Six and a Half Hall and the Golden Wind Drizzle Building, and the fifth force is the iron-blooded banner gate secretly supported by the husband. At present, it has basically unified the civil forces in the Younan region, with more than 30,000 disciples and 8,000 combat power, but only more than 500 of them have second-rate or higher skills......"
It seems that Yang Aruo's talent is far inferior to Deng Zhan! Liu Yu gave them the same assistance, although Deng Zhan had more than 100 first-class masters to fight, but Yang Aruo's foundation was not weak, not only there were more than 4,000 ordinary disciples, but also more than 600 iron-blooded hoe gangs that had formed combat effectiveness. But look at the current comparison of their strength, alas......
“…… The sixth major force is the Daeganglian, headquartered in Nam-gun, which basically controls all sections of the docks in the middle reaches of the river. Most of its gang members are boatmen and porters, so although their number is as high as 10,000, there are less than 300 people with second-rate skills or above. It is also worth noting that Han Long, the helmsman of the Great River Alliance, and Liu Bei's Ou Xing intersect inextricably, and I am afraid that he is suspected of secretly defecting to the enemy......"
Liu Yu guessed that this "suspicion of defecting to the enemy" was true, after all, Liu Bei had been the Sima of Nanjun for a period of time, and with his kind of confusing methods, Han Long might not be able to escape from his Wuzhi Mountain, and it was also Han Long who was in the middle to come to Qu Xing to surrender to Liu Bei. Well, this Dajianglian should be paid attention to!
“…… The seventh major force is the Runan Eagle Claw Gate, which has a deep relationship with the Yuan family, although its people are less than three hundred, most of them have the strength of second-rate players in the rivers and lakes, and those who rank among the first-class in the rivers and lakes are collectively called the 'Thirteen Eagles of Runan'. Among them, the leader, that is, Yuan Ji, the owner of the Eagle Claw Gate, is the elder brother of Yuan Shu's biological mother......"
“…… The last force to be noted is the League of Green Mansions, which is made up of brothels from all over the country. Its sphere of influence can be said to be all over the country, and although its military power is not worth mentioning, its influence cannot be underestimated. Is there anything else you want to know? ”
Touching his chin, Liu Yu asked curiously: "The Cao family and the Xiahou family have the Golden Wind Drizzle Building and the Six and a Half Hall, and the Yuan family has the Eagle Claw Gate, so does the six families have their own Jianghu forces?" ”
Ren Hongchang nodded first, and then said: "Husband Jun is mistaken, Runan Eagle Claw Gate only has a deep relationship with the Yuan family, not attached to the Yuan family. The real power of the Yuan family is the 'Tianhe Gang', which controls the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and its leader is an old man in his seventies. is called Huang Boliu, and the two iron oars in his hands have their own unique kung fu, ranking fourth on the list of miraculous skills. According to unconfirmed sources. Huang Boliu was Yuan Shao's grandfather when he was young, and he was the scholar of Yuan Tang, the former lieutenant. The composition of the Tianhe Gang is similar to that of the Great River Alliance, mainly boatmen and porters, but there are many more masters of the Tianhe Gang, with nearly 1,000 second-rate players alone, and nearly 70 people with first-class skills or above. ”
The division of force in this world can be roughly said as follows: a well-trained elite soldier can single-handedly take on ten strong soldiers, a second-rate master can single-handedly take on thirty elite soldiers, and a first-class master can single-handedly take on twenty second-rate masters. Of course. The above is just a simple combat power, and does not take into account the cooperation of each other and other factors.
Let's take Liu Yujun as an example, if nine elite soldiers with tacit understanding respond to the enemy with five elements and four elephant arrays. That can definitely trap a second-rate player. And there is a small group called "Jiangnan Seven Monsters" on the rivers and lakes who are good at using the "Tiangang Beidou Array", although they are only second-rate characters, but even if a first-class master falls into the formation, it is not easy to get out. In addition, Liu Yu also heard that the hidden weapon "Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle", which ranked third on the hidden weapon list, could allow an ordinary person who did not know martial arts to kill a first-class master within three zhang.
As for the innate masters with spiritual sense, it is not something that ordinary people can deal with exquisite equipment. It is the so-called "innate spiritual awareness." Feel the danger and avoid it"! And those who have mastered the "meaning" above the human level, not to mention. Characters who have reached that realm, just by virtue of their momentum, can make the warriors below the innate level frightened and their combat power drastically reduced. If there is too much difference in rank, then there is no way to talk about crowd tactics. In the previous battle between Liu Yu and Yuan Jun, if it weren't for the desperate resistance of Lu Bu, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other masters, if it wasn't for Liu Yu rushing back to dinner at the end, I am afraid that he alone would have been able to kill all tens of thousands of Yuan troops......
"Husband." Ren Hongchang stretched out his jade finger and poked Liu Yu's chest and asked, "What are you thinking?" Do you want people to talk about it? ”
Liu Yu came back to his senses. Ren Hongchang, who was a little dissatisfied, kissed lightly on the face, and said with a smile: "I was thinking about the specific strength of the Tianhe Gang just now, baby, go on!" ”
Ren Hongchang glanced at Liu Yu and said, "The non-governmental organization that the Gongsun family secretly supports is the ginseng gang that controls the production and sales of adult ginseng in the Han Dynasty. Most of its members are ginseng pickers in the Changbai Mountain area, with less than 20,000 people, less than 1,000 good players, and only 37 first-class masters, but its huge profits are only under the Xingchanglong Trading Company and the Blue Dragon Society. Now the leader of the gang is Liang Ziweng, the old monster of the ginseng immortal, and the ginseng hoe in his hand ranks seventh on the list of miracle skills.
The forces in the rivers and lakes attached to the Sun family in Jiangdong are the 'Giant Kun Gang' that controls the lower reaches of the river and the offshore shipping and docks, and its gang leader Yun Shuai is known as the 'No. 1 in the world in light body kung fu'. Among the more than 20,000 gangs, there are more than 700 second-rate players and more than 30 first-class masters. For more than 100 years, the 'Wanma Hall' in the northwest has been headed by the children of the Ma family, and the current hall master Ma Wanchun is Ma Teng's brother. There are nearly 1,000 second-rate masters in the hall, more than 50 first-class masters, and the three major pastures under it can produce about 18,000 war horses every year. ”
Liu Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Since everyone in the Six Clans has their own forces in the rivers and lakes, then the Little Six Clans will not be left behind, right?" ”
Ren Hongchang nodded and said, "In fact, not only the six large and small families, but almost all the wealthy families control one or two non-governmental organizations overtly or covertly. Even General He also ordered his cronies and masters after gaining power, Wang Yuanba, who ranked ninth among the top ten swordsmen in the world, to form the Golden Dao Gate in Luoyang, of course, the Golden Dao Gate does not exist now, Wang Yuanba has long followed the order of Sister Lingsi to merge it into the Blue Dragon Society. If it weren't for the annexation of the He family and the Dong family's Jianghu forces, how could the Blue Dragon Society develop so quickly and so steadily? ”
Liu Yuda asked strangely, "Has the Qinglong Society annexed the Jianghu forces of the He family and the Dong family?" Why don't I know? ”
Ren Hongchang glanced at Liu Yu, and said hatefully: "Husband, you are really comfortable as a hand-shaker, you can throw everything to us weak women, it's really hard to be your woman!" ”
Liu Yu smiled disapprovingly, rubbing her plump buttocks lightly and caressing slowly, while asking, "The so-called capable people work hard!" Since you have this ability, then husband and I will naturally create conditions for you! Why, do you not want to do these things anymore, or do you not want to be my woman anymore? ”
Ren Hongchang blushed and gritted his teeth and gently beat Liu Yu's chest, and said, "We know that you are doing good for us, husband. Although the days are a little busier now, the sisters feel that they are much more interesting and fulfilling than before. Remember, don't say anything like 'I don't want to be a woman anymore'. Otherwise, we will sleep separately from you......" Speaking of this, Ren Hongchang tilted his little head and thought for a while before continuing: "...... At least three days! ”
Listening to Ren Hongchang's words, Liu Yu secretly felt funny, so while increasing the intensity and depth of the activities in his hands, he said softly in her ear in an ambiguous voice: "It turns out that my little baby can't do without me!" ”
Ren Hongchang's eyes were half-squinted, and a moaning sound that made people's hearts itch when he heard it floated out from his half-open and half-closed red lips. Just as Liu Yu was about to make a move, a few coughs came from his ears. Look for the sound. saw Liu Xiu looking at him with a red face, and Cai Yan and the others looked at Liu Yu with a hint of lust in their eyes.
Liu Yu knew that he couldn't go too far, otherwise this study, which was the cabinet chamber, would become a temporary battlefield for men and women to tackle key problems. He slapped Ren Hongchang's buttocks, who was secretly snickering. said: "Little girl, don't be a ghost, let's get down to business!" ”
Ren Hongchang pursed his lips, looked at Liu Yu with resentment, and asked, "Why did the husband wronged others?" What the hell are people doing? ”
Liu Yu slapped her hard again. laughed and scolded: "You dare to play tricks with me!" Don't think I don't know you used 'Heavenly Demon Phase' when you were 'humming' just now. Otherwise, how can these sisters of yours have a spring-love-erection?! ”
"Who's in love? Husband, how do you speak?! It seemed that they were dissatisfied with Liu Yu's words, Cai Yan and the others launched a verbal condemnation of Liu Yu under the leadership of Liu Xiu, and they did not let Liu Yu go until Liu Yu realized the mistake he had made and conducted a deep review of it.
Looking at Liu Xiu and the others, who were each in their own position to deal with their own affairs, Liu Yu sighed secretly, and said to Ren Hongchang, who was smiling proudly in his arms: "Okay baby, don't torture your husband anymore, let's talk about what Jianghu forces the Qinglong Society has annexed the Dong family!" ”
Ren Hongchang rested his little head on Liu Yu's shoulder with satisfaction, and said crisply: "The Dong family's Jianghu power is called 'Divine Sword Hall'. Its headquarters was originally in Longxi, and later entered Bingzhou with Dong Zhuo. Later, it became the master of Luoyang, and its power spanned the three states of Merge, Si and Yong, becoming the largest gang at that time. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and when the princes were fighting for Dong, the power of the Shendao Hall in Yongzhou was eliminated by Cao Cao and Ma Teng, which was nearly forty percent of its strength! Later, after Xiahou Cheng's assassination of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, Wei Zhongdao's rebellion and other incidents, by the time we completely owned and merged the state, the overall strength of the Shendao Hall was less than half of its heyday, but the loyalty to the Dong family from top to bottom was still the same. And husband, you ignored the orders of the imperial court and the threat of the Dong princes, and managed to keep the entire Dong family, which also made the Dong family and the Shendaotang cry with gratitude to the husband. Therefore, after receiving the news that Sister Lingsi ordered Wang Yuanba to hand over all the remaining forces of the Golden Dao Gate to Deng Zhan to establish her husband's own Jianghu forces, Dong Min, the patriarch of the Dong clan, came to find Sister Xiu and took the initiative to ask that the Shendao Hall be merged into the Blue Dragon Society. At that time, my husband was in retreat and practicing, and it was not easy for us to fight, and this matter was also beneficial and harmless, so Sister Xiu agreed to come down for her husband. Now the hall master of the Genshin Sword Hall, that is, Bai Baiyu, who ranks sixth among the top ten swordsmen, has become the owner of the Divine Dragon Altar in charge of liquor sales in the Blue Dragon Club, while Wang Yuanba, the former master of the Golden Dao Gate, is the owner of the Flying Dragon Altar in charge of tea sales. ”
With the two sects of Divine Sword and Golden Sword as the foundation, he can break through a situation if he is a person! Liu Yu shook his head, he had underestimated Yang Aruo because the power of the Iron Blood Banner Gate was far inferior to that of the Blue Dragon Society, but now it seems that he really can't stand Yang Aruo!
Patting Ren Hongchang, who was breathing in his ear, Liu Yu asked, "Except for those few, there are no gangs that need our special attention?" ”
Ren Hongchang frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Except for the 'Three Husbands Gang' supported by the Wu family in Yizhou, I really can't think of any Jianghu forces that need our special attention!" ”
"The Three Husbands? Tell me about it! Liu Yu was interested again.
"The so-called 'three husbands' of the Three Husbands Gang refers to the coachmen, boatmen and porters, although there are not many masters in the gang, but the number is extremely numerous, and it is known as 'no less than 100,000'......"
There are more than 100,000 gangs, except for Liu Yu's Xingchanglong Trading Company, I'm afraid there is only this Sanfu Gang, right? It seems that the power of the Wu family in Yizhou cannot be underestimated, and it is no wonder that Liu Bei in history wanted to marry the widow of the Wu family with a deoiling bottle after entering Shu. Later, it even became a follow-up...... Wait, if nothing else, it seems that Wu Amaranth should be the "Queen Mu of Changle Palace" in history?!
“…… The current leaders and deputy leaders of the Sanfu Gang are Chang He and Chang Bai, who have the title of 'black and white impermanence'. The two of them are tied for 10th place in the 'Top 10 Boxers' with their domineering kung fu of 'Black Palm'. There are second-rate players in the gang......"
"Wait, baby." Liu Yu stopped Ren Hongchang's introduction to the strength of the Sanfu Gang, and asked the doubts in his heart: "You are also on the list of miraculous skills, the top ten swordsmen, and the top ten boxers, who made these lists?" Is it accurate? ”
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the whole study became weird, and Liu Yu knew that he had made another common-sense mistake. Sure enough, Liu Xiu and the others all looked at Liu Yu with unbelievable eyes. Ren Hongchang even sat up and asked their hearts: "Husband, are you from our Han Dynasty?" ”
Liu Yu laughed a few times and looked at Liu Xiu with innocent eyes. Liu Xiu sighed helplessly, walked over and sat down on the brocade stool next to Liu Yu, tapped his fingers on Liu Yu's forehead, and said, "Husband, don't you know that our Han has four organizations with transcendent status?" ”
Liu Yu closed his eyes and thought about it. He replied, "I seem to have heard of it...... Among them, there seems to be the 'Bu Tian Pavilion', which is famous for its divination skills, and the 'Apricot Forest', which is passed down through the world for its medical skills, right? But I don't know about the other two! ”
Liu Xiu glanced at Liu Yu. Said angrily: "The other two are 'Ghost Valley' and 'Dust'!" ”
"Ghost Valley?" Liu Yu was surprised and asked, "How can the evil sect also have a transcendent status?" ”
Liu Xiu knocked heavily on Liu Yu's head, and he didn't reply to Liu Yu's words angrily, Liu Yu had to shift his doubts and grievances to Cai Yan, who was eating and snickering. Cai Yan smiled and sat on the other side of Liu Yu, first eating a slap of tofu on Liu Yu's face, and then explained: "'Ghost Valley' is not only not an evil sect, but a hidden mountain gate that cares about Li Min. Whenever the world is in turmoil, it will send its disciples to walk the world and help the world and the people. It had infinite scenery in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and there were geniuses such as Zhang Yi, Su Qin, Pang Juan and Sun Bin successively. But it's not a good thing that there are too many outstanding people. Later, the 'Ghost Valley' led to a catastrophe due to the different philosophies of the disciples in the sect, which made it impossible to close the mountain and recover its vitality for decades. It wasn't until later when Gaozu raised an army against the tyrannical Qin. Huangshi Gongcai, the lord of the 'Ghost Valley', sent his disciple Zhang Liang to help, and even Grandpa Guangwu had received great help from Yan Daochang, who was born in the 'Ghost Valley', when he was in the Han Dynasty. So husband, don't be disrespectful to the 'Ghost Valley'! ”
That's what happened! Liu Yu took Liu Xiu's little hand, who was still stiff-faced, and sincerely apologized: "Xiu'er, I'm sorry." I didn't know that the 'Guigu' and the Han family had such a close relationship, so you can forgive your husband for being open-mouthed! ”
Liu Xiu's face was relieved for a moment, and he sighed faintly, and said: "Husband, do you know that the status of 'Ghost Valley' in the hearts of the people of Li is the same as the status of Sage Kong in the hearts of scholars, which cannot be desecrated!" It's okay to say things like 'evil sect' in front of our sisters, but if outsiders listen to them, then you will really become a public enemy of the world!" ”
Liu Yu felt that Liu Xiu was exaggerating, even if he really scolded the "Ghost Valley"? Let's not talk about other places for the time being, let's just talk about the common people under Liu Yu's rule, will they give up a prosperous and healthy life, and risk their lives to seek justice from Liu Yu for that sneaky sect that doesn't even tell others where the mountain gate is? Liu Yu really doesn't believe it! However, Liu Yu didn't want Liu Xiu to be angry, so he had to make a promise to "respect Guigu and its descendants".
Liu Xiu was very satisfied with Liu Yu's upright attitude, and after giving Liu Yu a fragrant kiss as a reward, she said: "The 'dust' organization is extremely mysterious, no one knows where its headquarters is, and no one knows how many members it has. It seems to be everywhere, as it says – where there are people, there is 'dust'. Every ten years, this organization will post notices in major cities at the same time, publicizing the "Top Ten Swordsmen List", "Top Ten Swordsmen List", "Top Ten Boxers List", as well as "Miracle Skill List", "Hidden Weapon List" and "Stunning List". (To be continued.) )
