Chapter 224: Wang Xiao said he wanted to laugh when he heard it

"This girl is..."

In Yan Shicheng's big tent, seeing Wang Xiao come in with a girl, this Dingbei Marquis was obviously a little puzzled.

"A friend is a friend."

Wang Xiao took Xiao Yu's hand and explained with a smile.

Yan Shicheng said with emotion that you have finally grown up. After that, he didn't ask about Xiao Yu, but asked about the current situation of Chang'an City.

"The gate valves seem to choose neutrality, but in fact, they are all biased towards the Yuwen valve. As long as the Yuwen valve soldiers are in the city, these gate valve families will inevitably fall immediately. ”

Wang Xiao thought for a while and said, "If you can, don't go to Chang'an City." The strength of the Yuwen valve is by no means what is revealed on the surface. Yuwentai has been operating secretly for many years, and his strength is unfathomable. ”

"What you say makes a lot of sense, I understand all of this."

Yan Shicheng sighed with emotion, "But Your Majesty and I grew up together since childhood, and we are like brothers." Whether it is in the sense of righteousness or brotherhood, I cannot sit idly by. As a general of the Great Wei, crusade against rebellion is a must-do. ”

Sure enough, it's the same character as in the plot. is infinitely loyal to the emperor, even if he senses the emperor's killing intent, he is still willing to choose to die calmly.

His life is his own, and it is his own right for Yan Shicheng to choose his own destiny. But because of his foolish loyalty, the entire Yan family was destroyed, and that was the result of being killed by him.

It's okay to die yourself, but please don't implicate others.

"In that case, please divide my troops and horses to guard Yanbei. In the event of an accident, at least there is the strength to protect the family. ”

Wang Xiao couldn't persuade him, so he wouldn't persuade him. What he needs now is military power.

Yan Shicheng looked at Wang Xiao curiously, and then glanced at Xiao Yu on the side meaningfully, "How do you feel that you are different from before, it seems that you have really grown up." ”

picked up a piece of talisman in front of him, got up and handed it to Wang Xiao, "I will give you the command of the Xiuli Army, how about you pick another thousand people from the army as the team?" ”

Wang Xiao wanted to laugh when he heard it.

The name Xiulijun sounds very feminine, but it actually refers to a mountain called Xiuli Mountain. The people who make up this army are also from the vicinity of this beautiful mountain.

And the name of this army of soldiers and horses, Wang Xiao also knows.

It's not because of its outstanding achievements under the leadership of that little tsundere. It is because when the Great Wei attacked Yanbei, the Xiuli Army rebelled and took the initiative to open the city gate, resulting in the fall of Yanbei and the slaughter.

It was a massacre of the city, and 200,000 people died tragically under the blades of the Great Wei soldiers and horses.

With such a group of soldiers and horses, there are still many people who whitewash them. said that they had a hard time, and that they were already working for Dawei, and it was natural to obey orders.

Not to mention that the current Great Wei uses the actual sub-feudal system, and the soldiers and horses on the fiefs everywhere belong to their respective gate lords. Even if they are really loyal to the Great Wei, then they can pull them out of the city and attack the city with the Wei army, in that case, no one will say anything about them.

Facing each other head-on, you live or die, and it is justified.

But they entered the city in the name of the defenders, and then opened the city gate as an internal guard to let the Wei army in and slaughter.

What else can be whitewashed of this? Wang Xiao said that he really couldn't understand.

Others say that they were betrayed, and that the gates were opened by their superiors. They were forced to obey orders.

But the question is, are they all robots?

When the gates were opened, didn't these people know what the consequences would be?

After opening the city gate, after the Wei army came in, did he come to have a party with the people in the city?

In fact, they knew very well what the outcome would be, but they still chose to open the city gates.

The only explanation is that they are afraid of death and want to trade the lives of the whole city for their survival.

After all, their home is in the beautiful hills, not in the city.

After that, they were abandoned by Yan Xun, which was really a matter of natural reason and unpleasant retribution.

As for Xiao Tsundere, she turned her face because of this, and she wanted Yan Xun to accept Xiu Lijun's apology. I can only say that it didn't happen to her.

This is moral kidnapping.

There is no need to whitewash, and there is no need to whitewash. It's black and hasn't been washed.

"This really doesn't work."

Wang Xiao shook his head again and again, "Xiu Lijun should be taken away, I'm afraid." ”

It doesn't matter if the combat effectiveness of the army is poor, it can be improved in various ways. But no one dares to use an army like Xiuli Army with a betrayal gene.

"Why is that?" Yan Shicheng was puzzled by this.

"You have to be careful of the Beauty Army, they are not reliable."

Yan Shicheng didn't care about Wang Xiao's persuasion, but in the end, he still gave Wang Xiao the right to choose 3,000 men and horses, and also gave him the right to recruit troops from all over Liangzhou.

This Dingbei Marquis has several children, but his son-in-law is only Yan Xun, so he is the son of Yanbei.

It is precisely because of this identity that he will be given the right to serve in the army and the right to recruit soldiers.

Because he met Wang Xiao, Yan Shicheng deliberately stayed for one more day.

Early the next morning, he hurriedly continued south to Chang'an City with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to support his sworn brothers.

Looking at the army that was gradually moving away, Wang Xiao sighed slightly.

This should be a good person, but unfortunately this trip is not expected to have a chance to come back.

Yuwentai is a fierce tiger who spent years raising a pack of wolves in captivity. Now that he is running to Chang'an City with a pack of wolves, the stupid pig of the Great Wei Emperor will not be an opponent at all.

Yan Shicheng, he went to be buried.

Wang Xiao took 3,000 cavalry and went all the way north to Hongchuan City.

Based on the location and surrounding environment, he judged that the prototype here should be Jincheng County.

Here Wang Xiao met Yan Shicheng's wife, that is, Bai Sheng, the childhood sweetheart of the Great Wei Emperor. There are also Yan Hongxuan, Yan Ting, Yan Xiao and others.

Seeing these people warmly receiving Xiao Yu, Wang Xiao didn't know what to say.

In the plot world, it was Xiao Yu's design that made the Yan family extinct. And the scene in front of him at the moment is too ironic.

"What do you want to do when you arrested me to come to Yanbei?"

Two days later, Xiao Yu finally couldn't help but find Wang Xiao, "Either kill me or let me go." What's the matter now? ”

Wang Xiao, who was busy setting up a distilled spirit workshop, responded to her casually, "I'm giving you a chance to atone for your sins." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Yu couldn't understand what Wang Xiao meant at all.

"Sometimes, ignorance is a kind of happiness. If you know too much, you won't be able to sleep. ”

Wang Xiao waved his hand and motioned for her to leave, "Stay well, there will be a time to let you go." ”

The Han family has lost the Western Regions for many years, and there is still a Tuyuhun partition between Liangzhou and the Western Regions.

However, the Silk Road was not cut off, and caravans that did not hesitate to take risks for the sake of great profits continued to flow.

Wang Xiao was ready to do business with them, and in addition to distilling liquor, he also ordered people to plant grapes from the Western Regions on a large scale in dry land, preparing to make wine.

After that, blacksmiths from all over Xiliang were summoned to gather here in Jincheng to smelt iron and make weapons and armor.

Recruit men, craft weapons and armor, buy horse supplies, and more.

The gold and silver goods he brought from Chang'an were also spent, and even the storage funds of the Yanbei Marquis Mansion were used. But there was still a lack of sufficient funds to expand the army.

Jincheng County is not as barren and barren as imagined, in fact, it is located in the Hetao area, which is known as the Yellow River. The water and grass are abundant and abundant.

Not only can horses and sheep be raised here, but also a large number of fields have been cultivated, and the grain harvest is very high.

At the same time, it is also a necessary place on the Silk Road, and even if it is just a tax extraction, it can make a lot of money.

But what Wang Xiao has to do is very large-scale and requires a lot of money. He now desperately needs more sources of money.

Xiao Yu, who was bored in the room in a daze that day, was called by Wang Xiao to ride a horse away from Jincheng and head towards the mountains and rivers in the west.

"What good has happened to you? Why are you so happy? ”

Xiao Yu could obviously see that Wang Xiao, who was smiling, was in a good mood today.

"Is it so obvious?"

Wang Xiao touched his face, and then laughed, "It is indeed a good thing, I have found a way to make a fortune." ”

"Are you still short of money?" Xiao Yu knew that the Dingbei Hou family was not short of money, which could be seen from his family's luxurious mansion.

"It's expensive to build an army, and I'm really lacking."

Xiao Yu looked at the carriage behind him with a lot of strange things. There were barrels, there was sackcloth, there was charcoal, there were iron pots, there were hammers, and so on.

She was very curious about what Wang Xiao wanted to do.

"What business is the most profitable over there in Jiangnan?"

The journey was boring, and Wang Xiao had nothing to do to talk to Xiao Yu.

"Grain."

Wang Xiao patted his head: "What about the food?" ”

"Mulberry linen silk cloth."

Wang Xiao turned his head and glared, "Deliberately? ”

Xiao Yu smiled, "Say what you want to say directly, I won't guess a man's mind." ”

"Are you guys making money selling salt?"

"Of course it did." Xiao Yu suddenly understood: "Have you found the salt well?" Or a salt lake? ”

"Neither, it's a salt mine."

The procession of hundreds of people walked for two days, and finally came to a stop on the edge of a river beach when they went deep into the mountains.

Here, Xiao Yu finally saw the salt mine that Wang Xiao said.

"Are you stupid?" Xiao Yu looked at Wang Xiao with idiotic eyes, "This is all poisonous salt, people will die if they eat it." Do you want to sell this for money? You can't be a fool. ”

"Let's make a bet."

Wang Xiao smiled, like a fox that had caught an old hen, "I bet I can turn these poisonous salts into edible refined salts." I'll let you go right away. If I win, how about you promise me one thing? ”

Xiao Yu subconsciously wanted to refuse.

After all, Wang Xiao's expression had betrayed him, and there must be something strange about this.

But this is indeed a temptation, now that the Great Wei is in civil strife, she must go back to preside over the overall situation in order to fight for the interests of Nanliang.

After carefully recalling what he knew about poisonous salts, and repeatedly confirming that these poisonous salts must not be eaten, Xiao Yu said suspiciously, "What you said is true?" ”

Wang Xiao raised a hand, "I swear in the name of the ancestors of the Yan family." ”

"Okay."

Xiao Yu bit the corner of his mouth lightly and nodded in agreement.

Then, she asked suspiciously, "If I lose, what do you want me to do?" ”

Wang Xiao's eyes were extremely clear, and he rode over and leaned into her ear and whispered.

"What?!"

Xiao Yu's beauty quickly dyed red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she subconsciously slapped her.

"Yin thief!"
