"Xiaguan meets General Yan!"

With a smile on his face, Wang Hou once again hugged his fists and bowed under Yan Liang's covered car, but looking at his smile like "selling goose loans", Yan Liang frowned in disgust as always.

"This year, thanks to the protection of General Yan, Puyang City is prosperous, the household registration has increased to 9,000 households, and the industry and commerce of Tiannan and Haibei are also gathering in Puyang, these are all the credit of General Yan Liang, so the old people in the city and the countryside discussed, and specially prepared a thin gift to the general, in order to express the gratitude of the fathers and elders, come, carry over, please look at the general!"

At this time, Wang Hou didn't have the slightest image of the protagonist, he was like a villain in the movie, Captain Dogleg, in the obscene shouting, dozens of Puyang Zhuangding really carried up a lot of boxes, opened them with a bang, and looked at the things inside, even the generals and civil officials around Yan Liang couldn't help but gasp.

Wang Hou really didn't play false, as soon as he made a move, he was a small box of gold, five boxes of silver, ten boxes of high-quality Shu Jin, Lu Xuan, Wu Susha, and ten boxes of various colors, and the rest were all brand-new copper coins, and fifty boxes of all sizes were heavy capital, and these possessions and equipment for an army of 5,000 people were more than enough.

However, when the civil and military generals beside Yan Liang all swallowed saliva and their eyes were shining, Yan Liang himself flicked his sleeves in disgust, and shouted in disgust: "Wang Taishou, where did you come from, where did you carry it back!" ”

The degeneration of military attaches began from the period of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, to the end of the Anshi Rebellion, the despised image of the rude martial arts in later generations, and the idea of a good man not being a soldier began to take root in the hearts of the people.

Before Wu Zetian, the general and the prime minister are still the noble life pursued by the students of the family, although the first level of the guard is not as respected as the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but the military attache is still an equal honorary status with the civil official, but after Wu Zetian, the scholars rushed to Wendao, and a large number of uneducated ruffians began to flood the army.

However, now, the status of the military attache is still very high, and even higher than the civil official to some extent, and the cultivation is naturally not bad, and Yan Liang is still a descendant of Confucius's protégé Yan Hui, he still really let Wang Hou see what it means to treat money as dung, and he was dumbfounded, Wang Hou hugged his fists and asked with some sadness.

"General, these are some of the thoughts of Puyang's fathers, and you refuse ...... so"

"General Ben doesn't rule Puyang, General Ben is only loyal to Duke Yuan! So Wang Taishou, you don't need to use these yellow and turbid things to confuse the eyes of the general, just fulfill your promise in spring! ”

"Promise? What promises? ”

Wang Hou was pretending to be confused, and he could drag it out for a while, but sure enough, slapping the table, Yan Liang stood up angrily.

"Hugh is going to fight with Ben in a sloppy way! Puyang's grain! Ben will give you seven days to transport 500,000 stone of grain to my Huaxian County! ”

"Hey, General, I really can't give this grain!"

With a bitter face, Wang Hou categorically waved his hand and refused, but his words were like adding fuel to the fire, which instantly completely ignited Yan Liang's anger.

With a buzz, the green steel sword given to him by Wang Hou was pulled out, and it slashed on the table with a click, and the old face full of beard and beard was hideous like a tiger descending the mountain, pointing at Wang Hou's nose, Yan Liang roared like a murderer.

"Wang Tuqiu, you dare to deceive me! Don't you think that the general's sword is unfavorable? Believe it or not, I'll cut you down now, and then wave the army to Puyang, and kill Ru Cao, leaving no chickens and dogs! ”

"General, even if you kill Xiaguan, Xiaguan can't take out the grain, after all, Xiaguan is the Taishou appointed by Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and the grain will be transferred to Yuan Gong here, I'm afraid that the grain truck has not left the Puyang territory yet, and Yu Ban, who is stationed in Yanjin, has already taken down Xiaguan!"

"Besides, General Yan Liang, didn't we say that after harvesting the grain, you will come to pick it up yourself? Did my Wang Hou deceive the general with that sentence? ”

Pointing behind him, Wang Hou also came to the ability, blushing and roaring with a thick neck.

"Puyang is hundreds of miles away, a horse is flat, the harvested wheat is piled up at the ancient ferry, the general's iron cavalry is swept, Wang is neither able to resist, nor does he want to resist, why should the general discuss with Hou, and it is difficult for people in vain? Dirty and untrustworthy? ”

Not to mention, Wang Hou is so arrogant, his face is red and his neck is thick, Yan Liang is really dumb.

If he could wave his army south, he would have waved his army a long time ago, but when Wang Hou was harvesting, he reported the attack plan to Yecheng, but the reply he got was that he was not allowed to attack Puyang!

This reply not only made Yan Liang depressed and vomited blood, but also angry, as a front-line general, he knew too well what impression Wang Hou's wheat would have on the upcoming big battle, he couldn't figure out why Yuan Shao could refuse!

However, at this point, he is ashamed to return to the ancestors, and he didn't read the book thoroughly, because "Spring and Autumn" has clouds: the wall of people's hearts, not the wall!

Indeed, Puyang is a hundred miles away from Pingchuan, still hanging alone in Hebei, the army is coming, with Wang Hou's ability, in Puyang, under Yan Liang's nose to cultivate the field, but also to build a defense that is enough to resist the attack of his army, it is simply a fantasy, not to mention him, I am afraid that the soldier saint Sun Wu will be reborn, and the famous general Li Mu will be reincarnated, in this case, I am afraid it will not be possible.

But Wang Hou still didn't build the base on the south bank with natural hazards, but the south bank, where there are many big families and little wasteland, is still brave enough to stand up to the north bank, because from the beginning he didn't plan to fight a positional battle with Yan Liang! In three months, with his connections, he brought the merchants of Xuzhou in Guanzhong, and dragged many families in the Central Plains, the warlords of this era were in chaos, and the circulation of materials was extremely difficult, and the existence of Puyang gave all parties the trading platform that was urgently needed, and the two factions of the Hebei family and Yingchuan Nanyang under Yuan Shao were deeply benefited.

Take Guo Tu as an example! He had just organized a caravan to build thousands of square meters of mansions, shops and clan residences in the east of Puyang City, and he earned hundreds of thousands of dollars from Puyang in two months, and also introduced a large number of tea from the south of the Yangtze River, iron tools from the Central Plains, and well salt from Puyang to Hebei.

Not only him, this time Guo Jia and Fu Zhu's voices were not so tough, Yuan Shao's living room also put the Central Plains celadon that Wang Hou tributed to, the kitchen used Puyang iron pot, the shelf was hung with the steel Mingguang armor made in Funiu Mountain, and the high-grade sword offered by Wang Houjin was also hung on the waist.

Such an honest businessman, Yuan Shao has a good reputation, and he was carried away by Sheng Rong in the land of Sizhou, with hundreds of thousands of armor, will Yuan Shao, who took a bunch of good things, go to beat Wang Hou, an honest man?

With trade, interests and a series of political shows, Wang Hou has successfully woven a network of relationships, so that Yan Liangkong can't exert his strength and suffocate you!

A meeting with Yan Liang ended in unhappiness again, and he was blasted out of the barracks with those wealth and cloth, and looked back before leaving, Wang Hou waved his hand again, and suddenly laughed and shook his head heavily.

"If you bring a gift, how can you bring it back! Come on! Take the boxes off! ”

"Wang Taishou, you!"

Seeing that Puyang Zhuangding, who came with him, obediently threw the box to the ground, and the high-quality silk fell out, and was ordered to come out to congratulate Wang Hou's Huaxian lieutenant Jiang Yun, the commander of the army, Shi Liumei, obviously had a few violent twitches of his eyelids, and then hurriedly hugged his fist at Wang Hou and asked.

"Please don't be so embarrassed by the officials!"

"Wang came with the heart of Puyang's father, so how can he explain to the people of Puyang when he brings it back? Anyway, Wang put his mind in front of this camp and handed it over to you for disposal, even if he threw Wang away, he didn't care, he was tired of you, and he said goodbye! ”

Saying that, Wang Hou really took the cavalry, Puyang Zhuangding patted his ass and left, and a lot of property was thrown in front of Yan Liang's camp like garbage.

Thrown? How can you be willing to give it! This is the best Shu brocade! But you took it yourself? Don't dare, Yan Liang is very strict in governing the army! After struggling for a long time, the two Hebei generals are combined, so let's tell Yan Liang again!

With hundreds of strong men did not ride horses, even if it was a horse Pingchuan, the speed of travel was still limited, before Wang Hou walked out a few miles, Yan Liang's military camp outside Huaxian County, suddenly there was a commotion, listening to the faint noise, Wang Hou put down the binoculars with a dark smile, and even in his mind, he could already imagine Yan Liang's violent appearance.

........

However, Wang Hou still didn't take it lightly, if it was so easy to dismiss, Yan Liang would not be one of the most trusted generals under Yuan Shao.

When the carriage and horses returned to Puyang, the huge Puyang was still a trade exchange, the river was endless, a busy appearance, and it happened that a group of Central Plains merchants landed at the Puyang Yellow River ferry, with all kinds of goods produced by the family, rushed to the big market of Puyang City with great interest.

Although they were hostile to each other, the Yingchuan faction in Hebei and Yingchuan County in the Central Plains were in the same vein after all, and in the same nervous attention, when Wang Hou got the news, the news that Yuan Shao rejected Yan Liang's attack plan also quietly spread in the family circle, and they were relieved to continue to do business in Puyang.

However, the farmers who were busy harvesting had to stop their scythes for the time being.

On the bank of the river, hundreds of farmers shouted with all their strength, the ropes were stretched straight, and the huge waterwheel wheels were erected high in the shouting and shouting in their dragging, and then with the impact of the river, the bamboo tubes transported from the Yangtze River basin on the waterwheel carried buckets of buckets and several catties of river water were raised high, and then watered into the fields on the other side.

Not far from here, another place is also led by Wang Hou, a few months ago to intercept the Yellow River tributaries of the small dam was also cut open by a hoe in the farmer's shouting, not as yellow as the Yellow River in later generations, but also watered in the land.

However, this is not a good season for watering, and the wheat stalks that have not been harvested as firewood or pig feed have been hit by the river water everywhere, messy and scattered all over the ground, and many wheat fields that have not been harvested have been flooded by the river.

After returning to Puyang, he didn't even enter the city, Wang Hou went directly to the grange outside the city, looking at the farmland turned into muddy land, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but in the end, he was full of apologies, and walked up to a that was being thrown, where, with a big belly, Cao Hongjie was still hissing and trying his best to command a few township officials.

"It's back! The guy surnamed Yan didn't embarrass you, right? ”

Seeing Wang Hou on the embankment, this girl excitedly wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, and jumped to meet the past, this dangerous action of running with the ball, but Wang Hou was so scared that he almost didn't lie down, hurriedly took an arrow step, hugged her shoulder, and helplessly reproached: "Like a child, so unstable!" ”

It's not like a child, if you are still in school at the age of Cao Hongjie in the future! In this cruel era, she has become a quasi-child and her mother, listening to Wang Hou talk about her child, this girl is still unhappily pouting, humming angrily.

"Cut! When the old lady followed her father into battle to kill the enemy, you were still copying the "Three Character Classic"! ”

"Yes! You're amazing! How is the irrigation doing? ”

Even the old lady has learned, Wang Hou really wants to slap his unobstructed big mouth, hugging this girl's shoulder, Wang Hou quickly turned the topic aside, mentioned work, Cao Hongjie's girl was online in an instant, and pointed to the bottom of the dam to explain to Wang Hou with a bright face.

"According to what you said, the dams in the section from Gejiazhuang to Lingyi are all flooded with water, and the waterwheel is still in the river, and the long strip of land has been flooded into a muddy pond for several miles, but the road from the ancient ferry to Puyang has also been washed away, and more than 2,000 acres of wheat have been flooded, what are you going to do with so much water to wash the fields?"

Without waiting for Wang Hou to answer, Zhao Yun, who was in full armor on the other end, also ran up to the small dam quickly, looking at Wang Hou and his wife, but what he was about to say was swallowed back by him, and he just smiled and hugged his fists: "Lord, you are back!" If you don't come back, Lao Zhao will be hungry! ”

"You won't be able to do this, you're embarrassed to go to Qiling's place to eat, so let Rou'er go! Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful, Red Festival, I'll keep an eye on the remaining dams, you go back to the city and let Qiling send someone to bring lunch, and also, learn more from Qiling, they are all women, and the cooking is so delicious! ”

"Yay!"

Still showed her childish side, cooking is her weakness, was mentioned by Wang Hou, Cao Hongjie made a grimace and stuck out his tongue angrily, and then ran out with the ball in Wang Hou's frightened jump and slipped off the small earthen dam, fortunately, this girl was not crazy enough to ride back, but obediently got into the carriage, watching the carriage go away a little bit, Wang Hou was finally relieved, but his face became serious.

"All the parts have been mobilized?"

"Back to the lord, Puyang Baqu has all been mobilized to the vicinity of Gejiazhuang, recently the lord often mobilizes county soldiers out of the city to harvest, no one in the city suspects, but ....."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhao Yun still asked worriedly.

"Is it true that Yan Liang will not attack Puyang City directly? And with these nine songs in his hand now, will it be too thin to fight against Yan Liang! ”

"General Yu Ban's three Qu Jing soldiers are coming around the south bank of the Yellow River to support us, they can go to guard the port at night, as for Yan Liang!"

Turning around and looking at the north again, he was quiet for a few minutes with his hands behind his back, letting the river breeze blow his big-sleeved robe, and Wang Hou nodded firmly.

"Either tonight or tomorrow night, he'll definitely be here!"
