The silver ticket of 100,000 taels of silver was placed in Xue Taisui's hand, Xue Taisui laughed wildly, secretly thinking that this little fat man was really wealthy, and then looked at the petite girl behind him, her eyes were cramped, and she stared at Xue Taisui evasively.

Wang Baobao blushed at the moment and had a thick neck: "This, my daughter-in-law, my eldest brother will take care of it more." ”

After that, he pulled out the red-clothed dragon girl Princess Aoji with one hand.

Princess Ao Ji didn't like the so-called eldest brother in front of her, but when she saw that fierce face, it was like trying to eat people. had to walk out timidly, and said a blessing to Xue Taisui, but his eyes didn't dare to look at it, and he hid behind Wang Baobao with a "slippery" sound.

Wang Baobao glared at him: "What are you afraid of?" Big brother won't eat you again. ”

Xue Taisui is not very interested in Princess Aoji, but she feels that although this woman's appearance is beautiful and more than enough for her own brothers, but when she sees the two dragon horns above her head, she can't say how disgusted she is.

Thinking of this, he coughed twice: "Brother and sister, don't be restrained, but when you marry and obey your husband, this etiquette still has to be observed." ”

There was a crane cry in the air, and Xue Taisui knew that Qiu Ba had arrived, so he immediately turned around: "You and your wife are at their own convenience, let's go out and have a look." ”

Qiu Ba jumped off the crane and picked up a gourd of clear water and poured it violently. Xue Taisui carefully looked at the geographical map of mountains and rivers he drew and the topographic map given by Wang Qianjin.

"The idea is piercing, the guard of the border city of the horse is called the blue-eyed Hengjiang Shangshi camel, it is said that there is the courage of ten thousand people, it is the three masters of Jiuyan Mountain, somehow fell out with the brothers in the village, and came out of the door. Killed Ma Bian Taishou and seized the power of the city. It seems that he still has dealings with the Tantric Buddhism of the Western Regions, and there are four great lamas, known as the Four Absolute Monks, who help him do evil everywhere. Qiu Ba took a breath and told all the information he had inquired about in the past few days.

Xue Taisui looked at the map carefully, pointed to a small town between Mabian and Yuzhou Mansion, and marked the place of Qimai County on the map and asked, "Is this place still under the control of our Dayu?" ”

Qiu Ba took a breath and said: "This Qimai County Order, it is a two-faced and three-sword, no one can offend the master, and he still pays taxes to the Dayu Heavenly Dynasty every month, but the monks of the Western Regions came to borrow grain, and he also gave money." Mabian City relies on the supply of the northern barbarians, and the second relies on the autumn wind in Qimai County, this county order is also a sleek person, who is the king of heaven, and all agreed. ”

Xue Taisui's mouth crooked: "That's strange, a small county town within a radius of 100 miles, so many grandfathers asked him for money and food, and he actually supplied it?" What kind of life did the people live, and why did they not flee the famine? ”

Qiu Ba continued to reply: "Naqimai County mainly relies on a resource underground, it is said to be a spar mine, this thing is now a big price on the market, trafficked to Guanzhong, Yuzhou, Qinghai and other places, just a pound of spar can be exchanged for twenty buckets of old grain, plus ten barrels of good soybean oil, and the price is high, and you can also exchange for one more horse." Therefore, although it is a small county, it is very rich. ”

Xue Taisui has been in the army for a long time, and knows that the spar is the root of energy, and all kinds of armor, mechanisms, formations, and siege vehicles are all launched by this thing, and even the Shenwu cannon that makes the monks frightened is also filled with this thing, which is really precious.

Xue Taisui continued to ponder and said leisurely: "Since it is such a rich place, the Shang Lion Camel on the side of the horse has no idea of taking this place for himself?" It's not like his bandits. ”

He compared the two maps, looked left and right, and finally saw the clue. The terrain of this Qimai County is flat, there are no peaks and rivers, which is extremely conducive to the breakthrough of cavalry, and it is a place that is easy to attack and difficult to defend. Thinking about it, even if Shang Shiluo led the troops to capture the city, it would not be able to defend it, and it was very easy to fall into the encirclement of the three parties. It's better to take the opportunity to blackmail and get more grain supplies as it is now.

Thinking of this, Xue Taisui smiled: "Eighth Brother Qiu, you quit your hard work, eat lunch, and then go to find out the military deployment of all parties, where is the nearest military peak from Qimai County, find out clearly and report quickly." ”

Qiu Bayi clenched his fists: "Okay, follow the order of the commandery!" ”

"Get out of here, Mari on an errand!" Xue Taisui covered his back with a kick.

Xue Taisui hurriedly handed over the 100,000 taels of silver tickets to Wang Qianjin: "Old general, this is a silver ticket of 100,000 taels, in addition to what was needed last time, the old general can recruit young and strong villagers, three meals a day, and a lot of old money a month, but you have to be able to kill the enemy." ”

Wang Qianjin was hindered by the limited funds at hand, and originally planned to recruit a group of old and weak people in the township, and put together enough numbers of 1,200 to count, but at this moment, seeing this lot of money, he smiled happily, and felt more and more that the young people in front of him had a bright future.

It turned out that corruption was rampant in the Dayu Dynasty, and when the generals did not drink the blood of the soldiers, what was the deduction of food and salary, and the head of the lied was a normal thing. At this moment, seeing that Xue Taisui didn't want a penny, he took it out to recruit troops, which shows the heart of Akagi.

Wang Qianjin hugged his fists: "Don't worry, since the salary of the soldiers is sufficient, the old man will go to the recruiting office, and notify the applicants who will hire the soldiers after the autumn one by one. ”

Zhang Jinshan, the Taishou of Yuzhou, was playing against people in the small courtyard behind the public court.

The opponent has a white face and long eyes, a swallowtail beard under the black beard, a green shirt, but a black and white Confucian crown of loyalty on the top of his head, two locks of white streamers on his shoulders, and a small tail fan in his hand.

This person's name is Li Shipeng, the word friend, and the nickname Shilang, who is a leading figure in the Li clan of the current dynasty. Yu has been in high school for ten years, and he is proud of his youth as a 22-year-old high school leader. He first served as a military advisor under the account of Tu Bin, the general of the auxiliary state, and served as a military priest and a wine general, because of his unconcealed mouth and harsh words, he was beaten by the imperial history for an unauthorized remark, and the sin of disturbing the holy hearing, he was demoted to the general Wei Wentong of Zuo Wuwei as a marching horse, and because of his offensive words, he was transferred to Zhang Jinshan to serve as a state and county minister. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Yu Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, Emperor Yu still fantasized that Sanding Jia should assist the court, and he was drowned by the spit of the official.

At this moment, when the chess is in the middle game, Zhang Jinshan is still watching from left and right, and he is undecided.

Li Shipeng twisted his swallowtail beard and said with a smile: "Dong Weng, the first twenty moves are already a dead end, you lack the courage to kill the big dragon, and you are too focused on making eye chess, this chess has long been useless." ”

Zhang Jinshan shook his hand, threw the sunspots full of chessboards, and said angrily: "No, no, I can't win against you if I let the nine sons, what else is there to do." ”

The two were playing against each other, and Xiao Si came to report: "Garrison Wang Qianjin, please add a letter from Xiang Yong." ”

Zhang Jinshan didn't even look at it, and waved his hand: "Go and go, this old man Wang, just make your own decisions about military equipment, big and small things come to bother me, don't look at it, I'm not available." ”

Li Shipeng glanced at Xiao Si: "Take it for me." ”

Zhang Jinshan waved his hand: "Give it to him, give it to him, and after reading it, hurry up and go with me to the West Flower Garden to chant poetry." ”

Li Shipeng glanced at the letter, turned to Zhang Jinshan and asked, "How much did Xiang Yong add at one time in previous years?" ”

Zhang Jinshan bit an orange in his mouth and muttered: "Who knows how much, maybe five hundred at a time, it hasn't been increased for several years." ”

Li Shipeng rolled his eyes and asked again: "In the past, Xiangyong recruited the young and strong people in the township as soldiers?" ”

Zhang Jinshan took a sip of tea: "That's not it, I recruit my own countrymen, I pay my own soldiers, I separate the civil and military families, Dayu Heavenly Dynasty has been like this, where can he get silver if he recruits more." ”

Li Shipeng turned around and looked at the geographical public opinion map hanging on the wall, and said with a smile: "No, there is an article here, dare to ask Wang Shoubei why he wants to supplement Xiangyong at this time?" ”

Before Xiao Si could answer, Zhang Jinshan grabbed Li Shipeng's hand: "Youzhi, you don't have the affection to say, it's not good to be suspicious, he is a thousand jin for the garrison of Yuzhou, and he can call the shots in military affairs, even if he recruits 10,000 villagers, what can he do?" We have 50,000 soldiers, and he is willing to recruit as many recruits as he wants, and he has to raise himself by recruiting himself, walking, and drinking. ”

Xiao Si muttered in a low voice at this time: "I heard that the imperial court issued a decree and sent a thousand generals of the Li family army to recruit troops, but I don't know the specifics, and the adults will naturally know if they ask Wang Garrison." ”

Li Shipeng hurriedly threw off Zhang Jinshan's sleeves: "The court issued an order, why didn't Mr. Qian come to the Taishou Mansion to report?" ”

Zhang Jinshan smiled: "Shilang, if you come to a thousand and ask me to be the Taishou reception, where will I have time to play chess with you, maybe people have been ordered and ordained, can we ask?" Besides, officials below the fifth rank are only deployed to the yamen, what's wrong with people not coming? I haven't said anything yet, you're picking on it. After speaking, he looked at Li Shipeng with disdain.

Li Shipeng nodded: "Dong Weng, I have chosen this, you may not be able to thank me in the future, come to the candle, I want to take a good look at the geographical public opinion map." ”

Xiao Si didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent the candle flame, but Zhang Jinshan looked annoyed, yawning and going to have fun.

After three watches, Li Shipeng looked at the geographical map within a radius of 100 miles, and sneered after repeated calculations: "Fake Dao and then Li Dai Taozhuang, being a thousand is really a loss to this person, Xiao Si, prepare a horse." ”

Xiao Si changed the guard, but he was younger than the one just now, hurriedly took the ticket number, and went to the stable to lead the horse.

Li Shipeng turned over and said to Xiao Siyan: "Tell Zhang Taishou that I will go to Qimai County to guard one million silver taels for him, if I don't return in ten days, I will quickly send troops to Qimai County, don't care who is inside, besiege it first." ”

A rush of whipping went.
