The commercial goods brought by the Liu Fu caravan are basically products that are beyond the times, and once they start to be sold, they will definitely cause the madness of Luoyang City. Therefore, Liu Xian must not sell casually, and he must wait until he has a real foothold in the capital, and he can only sell them after he has protected these commercial goods and the benefits brought by them.

Now, Liu Xian needs to make preliminary preparations.

The camp of the Liu Mansion caravan is outside the city, and it is not ruled out that someone will come to look for trouble, fortunately, there are more than 5,000 people guarding here, and Zhang Ning, a master who may break through to the second-rate military generals at any time, if someone who is not long-sighted comes to find trouble, they will definitely be covered with blood.

The 5,000 or so people of the Liu Mansion caravan were enough to fight head-on with the average army of tens of thousands. Therefore, the Liu Fu caravan is safe.

The camp of the Liu Fu caravan was still very simple for the time being, but it was surrounded by those empty oxen and carriages, and they were still placed apart, so as to form an ideological internal arch guard.

The camp needs a lot of wood to make a fence, but outside the city of Luoyang, there is not much timber for the time being, there are mountains and forests in the west of the city, there are forests on the mountains, or in the general wilderness, there are also some woods, but whether it is the field or the woods on the mountain, there is a master, and the raft cannot be cut casually. And it is impossible for the Liu Fu caravan to carry so much timber from the camp.

But last night, when Liu Xian asked the caravan to settle outside the city, in the area demarcated by the imperial court city defenders in the city, the caravan guards first dug a circle of trenches on the periphery, and then used the vacant oxen and carriages to form obstacles, and then used some ropes to connect them, so that it became a camp.

In the middle of the camp, a tent was erected, and all the goods were moved inside, and then a tent was set up around the camp for the people.

Almost all of them participated in the rotation of guards, divided into three shifts to take turns to be on duty, and everyone was ready to fight. Everything was carried out according to wartime regulations.

The situation of the Liu Mansion caravan really surprised those who were secretly observing, and they were afraid of the Liu Mansion caravan and did not dare to provoke it easily.

Liu Xian wanted to buy a large amount of timber for the caravan of Liu's mansion and build this camp fence around the caravan camp. Otherwise, this camp is a little bit unlikely, in case someone really dares to do something to the Liu Mansion caravan, it will make the Liu Mansion caravan too passive.

Liu Xian also thought about whether to move the commercial goods into the city first, but Liu Xian thought it was not appropriate. is still the same sentence, I am really nothing in this Luoyang capital, and when the merchant goods enter the city, I am afraid that they will not be able to control it, not to mention that when they enter the city, they have to let the city defenders inspect it, so they also expose their real commercial goods prematurely.

In this way, Liu Xian felt that it was safer to stay outside the city, after all, he had thousands of people guarding him, and there would be no problems under normal circumstances.

Without further ado, the purchase of a batch of timber for the camp had to be resolved as soon as possible. This kind of thing, in fact, can be handed over to Shan Yong and them to do, they only need to inquire where they can buy wood, then they can directly buy a batch.

But Liu Xian felt that this was too troublesome, and even if he could buy it, it would not be possible to get it in a day or two.

Liu Xian thought about it, and then thought of the generals of Gaili who were attracted when he clashed with Jiang Bin of He Jin's Mansion when he entered the city.

On the part of the city defenders, there must have been a large amount of materials for setting up the barracks. General Gaili, on behalf of his uncle Gaixun, commanded the defenders of the city. Asking for some timber for the camp was a trifle for Galí, a matter of words.

Moreover, Liu Xian originally wanted to get acquainted with some people in Luoyang City who were worth getting acquainted.

As for what kind of talent Liu Xian is worth getting acquainted with, it's really hard to say. Anyway, Liu Xian doesn't know anyone, and the only one who can say that he knows is Gaili.

Of course, a eunuch like Zhao He is not a person from the same road, so Liu Xian naturally will not really make friends with him, but just use it if he can use it. I don't know, when I turned my face and became your mortal enemy.

This Gaili, if he is similar to his uncle's temperament, then he is indeed a person worthy of Liu Xian's friendship.

Liu Xian learned from some historical information about Gai Xun that although Gai Xun was not too well-known to later generations in the history of the Three Kingdoms, he was not too famous, but he was indeed the number one person, at least, he was upright, able to handle things impartially, and had a certain backbone, such a person is worthy of Liu Xian to get acquainted with. But it's a pity that he is now in Xiliang and not in the capital.

Liu Xian and Gaili are actually not acquaintances, they can only be regarded as having met.

But Liu Xian can find an excuse to visit.

After telling Zhang Ning to be careful when staying in the camp of Liufu outside the city, and asking her to wait to accept the timber for the outer fence of the camp, Liu Xian and Huang Wudie left.

Then Liu Xian went to the city gate.

At this time, there was already a long queue at the city gate.

In the prosperous capital, I don't know how many people come in and out every day.

Liu Xian did not line up, but went directly to the front.

Liu Xian fought with the people of the General's Mansion at the city gate yesterday evening, and Liu Xian was even more powerful, and Jiang Bin's nose and face were swollen.

It can be said that Liu Xian's reputation has spread in Luoyang City. However, most people just talk about it as gossip, but few people know Liu Xian.

But these city gate guards recognized Liu Xian.

Liu Xian is young and handsome, and he is so violent, and he does have a certain identity background, so it's no wonder that those city defenders don't recognize it. In fact, when Liu Xian left the city, they had already noticed.

Another point is that the city defenders and the General's Mansion are indeed a little wrong, after all, He Jin has only been a general for a short time, strictly speaking, it is just a name, and the actual control over the military is not as strong as imagined. The key is, who is He Jin? Those who made their fortunes by nepotism, let alone in the military, even in the Han court, many court officials expressed contempt for He Jin. Especially those courtiers who are really upright, they are even more disdainful of He Jin.

However, He Jin sometimes holds his identity as a general, and often offends many people by accident. Let the clear stream people despise.

In fact, strictly speaking, He Jin is not a flying man, and many times, he does put on a polite and virtuous corporal. But it's a pity that He Jin's talent is really extremely limited, his calculations are insufficient, and he often goes in and out of place, and wants to pretend to be a corporal Lixian to gain some good reputation, but his nature is not sincere to others, so he seems hypocritical, just like a tiger does not become an anti-dog. As long as a person of insight can see through He Jin at a glance, he knows that He Jin, a butcher, will not be a big deal at all.

The most obvious is Zheng Xuan, in history, he was forcibly invited into the capital by He Jin, and after meeting with He Jin, he fled immediately. Why is that?

In fact, Zheng Xuan has many opportunities to escape, but he wants to run away after meeting with He Jin? This is really Zheng Xuan's desire to see if He Jin is a real master worthy of his complementarity, right? As a result, after seeing He Jin, he knew that He Jin was not a person who had made a big deal, so why not run away?

Well, when I say this, I mean that in terms of the city defenders, even ordinary officers and soldiers are actually a little dissatisfied with the General's Mansion. Yesterday evening, they saw that the people of the General's Mansion were beaten by Liu Xian and others, and they were also very comfortable to see in their eyes.

Because of this, these city guards who recognized Liu Xian were naturally much more polite when they saw Liu Xian.

It should also be mentioned here that in this ancient era, people were divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the ranks were indeed very distinct.

The Han is not the most stern about the concept of hierarchy. But in Luoyang Capital, some hierarchical rules naturally have to be strictly followed.

For example, there are official roads in Dahan, and many of the official roads leading to Luoyang City are paved with blue bricks and bluestones.

From the Tiger Prison Pass to the east gate of Luoyang City, there is an official road paved with blue bricks and bluestones, although not all of them are, but in the section of the road with towns, they will be paved with blue bricks and bluestones.

Every big city gate in the capital does not have only one city gate hole.

The main gate hole in the middle is generally not allowed to pass through ordinary people. Therefore, most of these people queuing up to enter the city can only enter the city through the doorway next to the gate hole.

Like Liu Xian, a person with a certain status can naturally enter the city directly through the city gate.

At this time, the city guards who recognized Liu Xian saw Liu Xian coming to them, and hurriedly saluted: "Is it Liu Xian's little marquis?" If you want to enter the city, you can enter the city directly through the Great City Gate, and you don't need to wait for my approval. ”

There are about 50 people guarding the gate of the capital, inside and outside, which happens to be a group of soldiers. There is a team rate (Dub) under the rule.

Liu Xian dismounted, led the horse and said to the soldiers who were talking to him: "Brother, I have worked hard, I want to inquire with you, where is your city guard general, General Gaili?" I want to meet him and talk about something. ”

These ordinary city defenders naturally don't know where their general is. Liu Xian is just looking for a reason to talk to them, they don't know, but if they attract the people above, they will naturally know.

"Ah, where do I know about these creeps? However......" This city guard obviously has a certain impression of Liu Xian, he hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and shouted inside: "Martial team, martial leader!" ”

"What are you shouting? What's the matter? ”

A young man with armor that was obviously different from that of ordinary soldiers walked impatiently from inside.

"Hehe, Wu Tou, this is Liu Xian's little marquis, he wants to see General Gai." The city defender said to him with a grin.

After he finished speaking, he turned to Liu Xian and said, "Liu Xian, little marquis, he is our captain, Wu Shang." ”

"Oh? Liu Xian? When Wu Shang heard this, he immediately turned around, glanced at Liu Xian, grinned, hugged his fist at Liu Xian, and then gave a thumbs up and said: "Wu Shang has seen Xiao Houye, you are very powerful, that Jiang Bin is a master, but he was beaten down by you two or three times." What's your kung fu? Where did you learn it? ”

Liu Xian also glanced at him, and sensed his breath, he actually reached the peak of a true warrior, and had the opportunity to break through to become a real quasi-general.

"Hello Captain Wu, you are also very powerful, and ordinary people are not your opponents. As long as there is a certain opportunity, you can also become a real master. Well, you know what it takes to be a real master, right? Liu Xian noticed that this martial artist was probably also a martial arts idiot and was more keen on martial arts, so he talked to him first.

Liu Xian never looked down on them because of some small soldiers or ordinary little people. Sometimes, ordinary people are also worthy of Liu Xian's acquaintance. Because it's impossible to tell when you'll be able to use it. What's more, it's just a matter of talking to them a few more words, and then it is possible to gain their friendship.

"I know, I know, the generals in our army told Wu that as long as I can practice dark energy...... That's what they say about internal training, it's called internal force, right? But Wu usually practices desperately, and he doesn't know what it means to practice internally, and he doesn't know how to practice internal strength. ”

"Oh? You should have a corresponding training method in the military, right? Liu Xian asked casually.

"Yes, but it's too difficult, and in our army, there are no more ways to train the army." Wu Shang said a little depressed.

"Oh? Can you tell me about the training methods in your army? Liu Xian was a little interested.

"It's useless, it's useless to say it, it's just desperately trying to beat the sergeant's blood, which requires too much training funds. To be honest, it is difficult for ordinary people to stick to those military training methods. By the way, you said you wanted to see General Gai? Wu Shang shook his head and changed the subject.

Desperately beating the sergeant's blood, this should be to stimulate the soldier's physical potential.

Liu Xian didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said, "Yes, I want to meet your General Gai." ”

"I don't know where General Gai is, but what is certain is that if he doesn't go to the court, as well as Jingzhao Mansion, then it is in the various military camps, our city defenders, there are several military camps in the city, and General Gai will inspect the various military camps and the city guards every day. Sometimes there are surprise inspections at night. If you want to see General Gai, it is a little difficult to find him, but you can wait in the barracks, and the barracks in the east of our city are not far from this city. ”

Wait? You may have to wait a day.

Liu Xian thought for a while, and then said: "This, in fact, you don't have to see General Gai, if the guard or person in charge of your Chengdong military camp can call the shots, you can also go to him." I don't know if it's inconvenient for you, Brother Wu? Take me to your barracks to meet the general or the person in charge of the barracks? ”

"So? Liu Xiangongzi, is there something wrong with you? "Wu Shang Dao.

"Heh, it's just a trivial matter, did you see my Liu Mansion caravan outside the city? The camp was so simple that I thought they wouldn't be able to enter the city in a short time, so I wanted to get some timber to fortify the camp, just like a normal military camp, and make a fence to protect it, so as to have peace of mind. ”

"Hey, it's all a trivial matter, let's go, there are more materials for building a barracks in our barracks."

When Wu Shang heard this, he immediately said that he would take Liu Xian to the barracks.
