Chapter 123: Rapid Retreat

The horse's hooves trampled on the newly paved cement road, and the newly beaten horse's paw hit the cement, making a crisp and pleasant sound, and it was undoubtedly a pleasure for the horse to be an active animal.

But for people, it's sorrow!

After coming to Puyang for a year, Wang Hou finally had no choice but to wave goodbye here, indeed, defeated Yan Liang and successfully transported away more than 500,000 stone military rations harvested in Puyang this year, Puyang's strategic significance has been minimized, the only unexpected thing is that Chun Yuqiong, who succeeded the military power of Huaxian County, was not the expected big straw bag, and Wang Hou underestimated the greed of Guo Tu, Feng Ji and others.

Puyang brings together the trade routes of the east, west, north and south, and obtains rolling wealth, which is indeed in line with the interests of the Hebei clan, but the Puyang faction is not satisfied with participating in the Puyang market, they want to take this big treasury into their own hands! Chun Yuqiong's sentence before leaving that he would come to Wang Hou for a drink with Guo Tu had already expressed this threat clearly.

The Puyang faction did not want to give Wang Hou time to sit on the wall and wait and see, and they urgently demanded that Wang Hou surrender immediately, so as to provide them with more lucrative profits and support the Puyang faction to compete for a greater voice in the Hebei camp and gain greater political territory.

But this makes Wang Hou face a situation where there is no way out, if you want to protect Puyang, you have to surrender Yuan Shao, otherwise Chun Yuqiong will raise a large army to attack, but do you want him to surrender Yuan Shao? Not to mention whether Cao Cao could spare him after the Battle of Guandu, just Cao Hongjie beside him had to show his fingernails to scratch him to death, even if he didn't scratch him to death, Wang Hou didn't dare to see this girl with a big belly, and asked him with tears in his eyes Which one do you want, me or the little surnamed Yuan.

Uh, it looks like there's something strange mixed in?

Anyway, the ambiguity of cooperation with the Hebei faction has come to an end.

If it doesn't work, then let's fight! If the war really burns out, with the cement walls of Puyang City, the grain storage and the return cannon, like Diaoyu City, Wang Hou will not have that confidence, but it is more than enough to fight for more than half a year.

The problem is, there is no point! The army swept over, and the salt farms, pig farms, docks, and fields he had worked so hard to build outside the city were all destroyed, and the trade routes were cut off, and more importantly, Cao Cao would definitely not divide his troops to save him, and consume the already weak troops in this city north of the Yellow River that had no military value.

So if you want to protect Puyang, you have to protect your only way out, then you can only step down and get out, if he leaves, Puyang can at least surrender to Yuan Shao, and with the arrangement he left behind, as long as Guo Tuchun and Yuqiong don't loot too ruthlessly, the business model here can still be maintained, waiting for the end of the Guandu War, he Wang Hou can make a comeback.

But it's never easy to brave the rapids.

His subordinates were dismantling the metal parts on the return cannon arranged at the head of the city, and looking back at the head of the city that was still slightly ground with cement, Wang Hou's face obviously showed a strong reluctance.

"Fujun!"

Although it is now a troubled time, Liu Wei is still a slippery local patriarch, but his voice is really containing a lot of true feelings, standing in front of Wang Hou's carriage, he is quite reluctant to worship.

Not only him, but the remnants of the six big families in Puyang are here, as well as more than 30 big merchants who bought Puyang shops, big families in the east and west, long histories, deputy histories, military horses at all levels under the command of Taishou Mansion, and even many self-cultivated farmers in Puyang, thousands of people actually gathered at the south gate of Puyang City, looking at Wang Hou turning around, they were collectively bowing heavily.

"Fujun!"

But it's no wonder that everyone is reluctant, before Wang Hou came, Puyang except for a broken city full of history, is a group of tens of thousands of refugees who huddled in the city, relying on digging wild vegetables, catching mice, and occasionally being lucky enough to catch a fish, but now?

Outside the city, a new village was built, every household had at least two years of grain storage, and the shops in the city prospered, although the building was ugly, but it gave all parties an exchange platform, and also gave these locals the opportunity to make a living.

The biggest profit here is the Liu family in Pudong, don't look at Wang Hou only gave him one-tenth of the profit of the salt farm, in a few months, the income turned out to be tens of thousands of silk silks, and the money was tens of thousands, which is also the reason why Wang Hou chose him as his successor, the interests are the greatest, Liu Wei will also do his best to maintain the status quo in Puyang, and he is not afraid that he will set himself up, do not rely on Wang Hou's reputation, and some people are jealous of his income.

Looking at the reluctant clenching of his fists, Wang Hou himself was reluctant to jump out of the carriage, grabbed Lao Liu Wei's hand, and actually bowed slightly.

"Gong Liu, Puyang will entrust you!"

"Fu Jun rest assured, the old man will fight for his life, and he will also protect our Puyang from harm!"

"Good! That's great! After I leave, the cement residential area in the west of the city will also be built! There are also barracks, and the small buildings on my main street, don't move, and if only a few more small cement buildings could be built in the east of the city, and ......"

"Well, the old man suddenly remembered that there was still unfinished official business in the house, and in order to live up to the entrustment of the king, the lower official went back to work!"

Lord Fujun's aesthetic style is still too difficult to accept, looking at Wang Hou and gushing, there are more and more cold sweats on his head, finally, Liu Wei is sad fist, just run, staring at the back of this old guy, stunned for two seconds before he turned around, but just as he saw that Li Gui, a big businessman in Guanzhong who was close, was also stunned there, and this thing grabbed his hand with another arrow.

"Shopkeeper Li, regarding your shop renovation plan, this mansion gentleman thinks it is completely unnecessary, and when this mansion gentleman returns, let's discuss one or two!"

"Ahh Master Fu, when I think about it, there is still chicken stewed in the pot! The villain has retired in advance, and when the prince returns, he must not be drunk! ”

While speaking, the old man Li also ran away.

Seeing that Wang Hou's gaze fell on the shopkeeper Qin on the other side, without waiting for him to speak, the old guy also slapped his thigh: "There are also chickens squatting on the stove below, so I won't send them to the king!" Have a good trip! ”

"Oops, my second dog is about to give birth!"

"Fujun, my aunt and grandmother are going to visit the church, and the villain will retire first!"

"There are still two ** people in the camp who are fighting, and the last general has not yet dealt with it! The last general will go to work first! ”

"Oops, the lower official has a stomachache, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

In the uproar, the people who came to see him off knew each other or not, they all smeared oil on the soles of their feet and disappeared, leaving only Wang Hou alone on the side of his carriage and stupid, and after a while, the cargo party slapped his thigh sadly.

"These white-eyed wolves!"

"Lord, I can't blame them!"

It is rare that Zhao Yun will not give up and continue to follow Wang Hou, but listening to him complain, Zhao Shuai couldn't help but yawn and said a fair word slowly.

"Who made your little building, it's so ugly!"

"Cut, that's because you don't understand aesthetics, two thousand years later, there are such small buildings everywhere in the world, and the rich can't afford to live in it! Don't talk to you who don't have art bacteria, let's go! ”

Angry, Wang Hou got into the carriage, looking at his back, Zhao Yun also shook his head with a speechless wry smile, but then his face was straight, he shook the banner of the king on his shoulder, and roared.

"Too shou out on patrol, start the ceremony!"

.........

It is said that three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, it is really true, when he set off to Dongjun, Wang Hou was poor and white, the carriage only brought a dozen, more than 100 horses, and about 1,000 subordinates and servants, but when he came back, the carriage pulled more than 200 cars, 1,300 horses, and the craftsmen who were willing to follow Wang Hou, the servants and the Puyang soldiers plus a piece reached 1,800 people, the mighty team, the Yellow River ferry walked for an afternoon, and then it was finished.

Fortunately, there are no regulations that prohibit officials from doing business in these years, otherwise Wang Hou would have been the first to be shuanggui.

Although the east county on the north bank of the Yellow River has changed a lot this year, but the south bank of the Yellow River has not changed much, and it has returned to the south, and it is still a dilapidated appearance of thousands of villages and thorns for two days.

In the future, the main road of the Yellow River is in front of you, but it is called Jishui in front of you, it is not the mainstream of the Yellow River, it is just a branch, and the pontoon bridge in front is almost filled with the mighty grain transport team, and the road of Wang Hou is blocked here for the time being.

Being Cao Cao's son-in-law has this benefit, and the carriage regulations have also come up, Wang Hou finally had the courage to transform his two-wheeled carriage into a four-wheeled carriage, and also used steel bars to absorb shocks, jumped down from the carriage, and looked at the boiling water during the dry season, he inhaled the river fish comfortably.

"Strong, it seems to be a little wider than the big river!"

"I really don't understand you, and none of you are reconciled, so why don't you fight with Chun Yuqiong? We may not be able to beat him! ”

also pushed the car door and followed the tension, with a round belly, until now, Cao Hongjie is still angry, but after all, she is a married girl, this girl is not as noisy as before, just silently supporting Wang Hou.

But it was really a headache how to explain the complicated political relationship to her, Wang Hou simply repeated the old tricks, diverted the topic, and waved his hand vigorously and directly pointed to the ferry port in front of which the carriages and ox carts were busy with transportation, pretending to be arrogant.

"Red Festival, look, at the ferry in front of you, my Xu Du army will defeat Yuan Shao's thieves in the north and unify the north from here!"

"What a!"

Cao Hongjie was also as successful as always, and then looked at the ferry, but she pouted her mouth with disdain: "The entire Dongjun is lost here, how is it possible?" My father won't be a turtle with a shrunken head like you! He will definitely defend himself against the enemy by the Yellow River! ”

Looking at this girl's puffed appearance, Wang Hou smiled and said nothing, but once, his eyes swam quickly on the wide ferry.

In later generations, it was called Zhongmu, and at this time, this land was called Guandu!

However, just when Wang Hou was excitedly imagining the future war, a distant shout came, and the horsehoe crackling sound unique to Wang Hou's friendship came crisply, and a big black man waved his slap and shouted on the horse.

"Ahead, is Dongjun Taishou Wangfujun?"

Just like seeing a dinosaur, Wang Hou jumped on the wheel in disbelief, and in the dim dusk, he raised his slap and looked at it, and then responded in disbelief: "But the tiger idiot General Xu? ”

"Hey, it's said that someone fled back from the north with a team of horses, I guess, except for Wang Tu begging you, there is no one else, haha! The prime minister has also overseered the army, so let Xu call you to meet him quickly! This way, this way, this way! ”

Seeing Xu Chu's hot old face leaning over, Wang Hou almost didn't vomit blood, and glanced at Cao Hongjie, who was snickering with his small mouth, he gritted his teeth and probed into the carriage.

"Qiling, master, I'll go to see the prime minister, go and go back, don't run around here!"

The intimate voice made Cao Hongjie's little mouth rise jealously, but after her little hand was held by Wang Houyi, she still obediently followed him and Xu Chu round.

"Let's go, go see my father-in-law!"

.........

After the autumn harvest in September, Cao Cao, who had already smelled the breath of war, had already led a large army from Xudu, relying on about two kilometers east of the Guandu ferry, and today they had just completely crossed the river, and the camp had not yet been built, only some campfires were as small as fireflies, so it was no wonder that Wang Hou did not find out at the first time.

However, his popularity is really bad, he has just entered the brightly lit Chinese army camp of President Cao, and there is already a loud shout and spit stars splashing on his face first.

"Abandon the land and flee, causing tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in my Puyang City to fall into the hands of Chun Yuqiong! Wang Tu, please have the face to come back! ”

I really don't know how Wang Hou offended this Xun Yu Xun Linggong, since the rebellion of Dong Cheng in March, his old man has been looking at him unpleasantly, this time into the tent, he pointed to Wang Hou's nose and bowed down to Cao Cao.

"This man is as timid as a mouse, he lost his land and fled, Prime Minister! The subordinates thought they should be beheaded! To shock the army! ”

Followed by Yang Xiu, who looked at him unpleasantly, this guy also hugged his fists and hummed.

"Prime Minister, the war is coming, the Yuan thief is powerful, if everyone learns from Dongjun Taishou, I'm afraid no one will move forward bravely and fight to the death for the court, Prime Minister think twice!"

However, the two civil officials were murderous here, but none of those heavy generals had a cold, and even Xiahoudun, who was good friends with Wang Hou, simply yawned, and shook the set of cold-forged lobster armor that Wang Hou gave him on his body.

Watching this little couple come in, especially seeing Cao Hongjie with a big belly, Mr. Cao himself was also sad and tired, worthy of being a rich seed Cangcao! If it weren't for this kid who made a black hand in advance and sowed seeds in his daughter's belly, now Cao Hongjie is Cao Guiren, and maybe Queen Cao will be Queen Cao in the future, but now it's good, she has become the big-bellied woman of this little rabbit cub, and before leaving, she was also cried by her eldest daughter Cao Hongxian, seeing Wang Hou, this kid, Cao always hated the root of his teeth.

But no matter how ugly the butt is, it can't be cut, let alone let his daughter be widowed with a big belly, grinning crookedly, Cao Cao waved his hand directly at the murderous Xun Yu.

"Puyang hangs north of the Yellow River, the ferry is difficult to support the army to cross the river, a useless place, it is the order of the prime minister, once you get the news, you will come back immediately!"

Now Xun Yu is embarrassed, Cao Cao took the initiative to carry the matter, what else can he say? Cut Cao Cao too? I could only helplessly clench my fists and retract back.

"Tuqiu, what news have you got, please present it!"

Originally, Cao Cao casually found a step down, and he didn't expect Wang Hou to bring back any important news, but Wang Hou really brought it back, and took off the big bamboo slip he was carrying on his back, and he knelt down with his hands on his head.

"The Yuan thief rebelled and declared war on our court, and the last general brought back the Yuan thief's text! Please take a look! ”

It's really a complete war! Although he was prepared in his heart, Wang Hou's words still stirred up a cool air in the tent!
