Bai Mingzhe turned around, walked to the back of the desk, and tinkered for a while in the underground compartment behind him, and then came out with a gorgeous iron box.

"Smack!" The lock on the iron box was opened, and the contents met Li Fu's eyes.

It was a U-shaped iron palm and a stirrup.

"These two are samples, and before negotiating the price, you first let your subordinates put them on a horse as a display sample." Bai Mingzhe smiled, "After receiving the money, we must do practical things." I'm also embarrassed to let the brothers at the border of Taikeng, let them experience the experience, and after they go back, it's easy to introduce. ”

"The general is thoughtful and impressed."

"Hey, Gong Li is outside. Oh yes, when you experience the horses, you can let them stay together, and as for the price, you have to keep it apart, I'm afraid that these three guys will get together and discuss things that keep the price down. ”

"Don't worry, general, this little truth, frustration still understands." Li Fu rubbed his hands excitedly, closed the lid on the iron box, and then held it in his arms, "What else does the general need to order?" If not, the last general will go down and arrange it now. ”

"One last thing." Bai Mingzhe stretched out a finger, "Interrogate first, then talk about the deal!" ”

One interrogation costs at least thirty dollars per stone!

Li Fu's eyes were scorching, and he nodded solemnly, "No! ”

……

An hour later

Li Fu dragged Su Jian to the Jimo City Prison.

These two black-bellied men have colluded, Li Fu is in charge of Longxi, and Su Jian is in charge of Yanmen!

There is no other reason, Li Fu was born in Longxi, and he is Li Kang's uncle, so it is convenient to raise the price; Su Jian used to be the Taishou of Daijun, and Daijun and Yanmen were all subordinate to Daiguo, and when it came to prices, it was also convenient to raise prices.

It's not easy to deal with outsiders, and it's not easy to deal with your own people?

As for the dare......

This blackbeard chubby mound was automatically ignored by the two of them.

No one knows it, there is nowhere to put it, ignore it first.

When Longxi and Yanmen compromised, are you still afraid that the northland will not be able to resist?

"Brother Su Xian, I'll take Li Dang out first, Zhang Cigong, please take care of it."

Su Jian grinned, "Brother Li, rest assured, for the sake of the Nanzhong Army, Jian, he must be ruthless!" ”

"Good!" Li Fu smiled, waved his hand, and led the four armor soldiers towards Li Kang's cell.

At this time, Li Kang was lying on a straw mat and falling asleep.

Longxi is the farthest away from Jimo, and he has been on the road non-stop for the past ten days, and he has not slept peacefully, for fear that Beidi and Yanmen will cut off Hu.

Now that everyone is locked up, he doesn't need to be afraid, so he relaxes and falls asleep.

The armorer opened the cell where Li Kang was being held, and Li Fu walked in with his hands behind his back, kicked the kid's buttocks, and called; "Dare, don't sleep, get up quickly, get up!"

Li Dang felt the pain coming from his buttocks, sleepy-eyed, rubbed his hands, and complained, "Huh? Who, I haven't woken up yet. ”

Li Fu's face darkened, and he said angrily: "Brother Guang let you sleep?" Don't hurry up yet! ”

"Huh? The voice...... Uncle? Li Dang's eyes opened and closed, the hazy feeling in front of him gradually disappeared, looking at the tall middle-aged man in front of him, he suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly got up, and bowed his hands, "I've seen my uncle!" ”

"Humph! I'm disappointed in you! Li Fu shook his head.

Li Dare lowered his head, and he didn't dare to breathe, "My nephew is guilty!" ”

"Okay, you are making trouble in Jimoximen, although the general is your uncle, but there is no family affection in the army! As the right lieutenant general of the Nanzhong Army, I want to teach you a lesson! ”

Li Fu waved his hand and said coldly: "Come on, drag Li Dang out, and punish him with twenty canes!"

Li Fu's personal guard stepped forward, "General, Li Danggongzi has been traveling for many days, and his physical condition is poor, if he is punished with twenty military staffs, something big will happen." Besides, he also wants to experience horseback riding......

Li Fu felt justified and nodded, "Okay, wait until the business is over, and then execute the military staff!" ”

He lowered his head, looked at this nephew, and said in a deep voice: "Li Kang, listen up, the general is now the right deputy general of the Nanzhong Army, and I represent the Nanzhong Army to discuss the sale of salt with you.

Li Dare was completely sleepy, Liu Ye's eyebrows were upside down, and his voice was firm, "Yes!" ”

"That's good! Follow Ben in the future! ”

"No!"

Li Fu led Li Kang out of Jimo Prison and took a stick of incense to come to Jimo City Racecourse.

"Bring Li Kang's horse!"

After the order was given, about half a stick of incense, the horse that Li Dang was riding when he came was brought over.

At this time, the stirrups and horseshoes have been installed, and even the saddle has been replaced with the latest style.

"This is ......" Li Dang's eyes widened, and he lost his voice, "Uncle, this ......"

Li Fu gently stroked his breath and said with a smile: "Don't panic, go up and try." After the trial, we will discuss the price of salt. ”

"No!"

With a nervous heart, Li dared to jump and get on the horse!

The saddle was soft, making his ass much more comfortable.

Suddenly, a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

Li Fu pointed to the stirrups, "Put your feet here." ”

Then he turned and said, "Bring the bow!"

The guards handed the bow and arrows to Li Kang.

Li Dang stepped on the stirrup and took the bow and arrow.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand the purpose of the thing under his feet!

He looked at the stirrup in surprise, his face changed slightly, and he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "This thing can be borrowed!"

Li Fu pointed to the target a hundred steps away and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, do you see the arrow target in the distance?" Ride a horse and shoot it! ”

Li Dang clenched his fists excitedly, "No! ”

Suck the clamp firmly on both legs,

"Drive!"

"Gada! Gada! Gada! ”

The crotched horse galloped.

He felt the frequency of the shaking and was surprised, "Hey, how is it so much smoother?" ”

Li frustrated and shouted, "Shoot quickly!"

Li Dang glanced back at his uncle, grinned, and skillfully picked up the bow.

Open the bow!

Arrows!

The whole action is smooth and smooth in one go!

Aim!

"Whoosh!"

Arrows are fired!

"Da!" Hit the bull's-eye!

He didn't think it was enough to get enough and continued to shoot his bow and arrows.

"Whoosh!"

It's three arrows again, all of which hit the bull's-eye!

Li Fu's face was ruddy, and he cheered excitedly, "Good archery!" ”

Li Dare nodded triumphantly, rode his horse, and returned to Li Fu's side.

"Phew!"

Dismount and give up again.

"Uncle!"

"How do you feel?"

Li Dang was ecstatic, "I'll be able to exert myself soon!" If it is equipped with Longxi soldiers, the combat effectiveness can be increased by at least three percent! ”

Li Fu shook his head, "This value is too conservative!" According to my experience in leading soldiers, fifty percent can also be used! ”

Li Dang hugged his horse excitedly and touched the horse's body with his face, for fear that this peerless treasure would suddenly disappear, for fear that this would be a dream, "Uncle, this thing was also made by Nan Zhongjun?" ”

Li Fu smiled slightly, and said lightly: "The thing that borrows power is called a stirrup, and the thing that makes a horse stable is called a horseshoe." Both of these are designed by the general of Nanzhong, which can be attributed to the work of the Nanzhong army, and both of them are sold to the Han army! ”

"Whew! Taiyuan-kun? Li Dang's face froze, and he was surprised, "I am the same age as me, and I can make such a divine object, which is worthy of His Majesty's favor." ”

"I have been with General Nanzhong for several months, and I have been greatly affected by him." Li Fu gently stroked the hair of Li Dang's mount with his hand, "Dare, to speak from the heart, Brother Guang, I'm afraid I can't compare to General Nanzhong!" If His Majesty wants to be crowned Wu Anjun, or even Wu Anhou again, except for General Nanzhong, I can't think of anyone else who is eligible for this title! ”

He looked at Li Dang and said in a deep voice: "Now, what General Nanzhong lacks is a victory!" A victory that would be enough to sustain him as a prince! ”

He put his right hand on Li Kang's shoulder and said softly, "Do you know the purpose of General Nanzhong's military training in Jiaodong?"

"Please make it clear to my uncle!"

"General Nan Zhong told my uncle a few days ago that it seems that he wants to attack Wei Korea, but in fact it is not!"

"What does Uncle mean by that?" Li Kang was suddenly a little confused.

Attacking Wei's Korea and incorporating it into the territory of the Han Dynasty is not the purpose of the formation of the Nanzhong Army?

What's wrong?

Could it be that all this is fake? Is it all groundless? Your Majesty is just to pacify the rebellion of Liu Ji in the Jiaodong region?

Li Fu gently chanted the barbarian forces near Liaodong County, "In addition to the forces that cannot enter the stream, there are Xianbei in the north, Xianbei in the east, Xianbei in the east, Wuhuan, Zuo Xianwangbu, plus Wei's North Korea, there are a total of five large-scale barbarians!" General Nan Zhong once said that the Han Dynasty has compromised for decades and made peace for decades, which is long enough. He is willing to lead the Nanzhong Army, sweep away Xiaoxiao, and establish the national prestige of the Han Dynasty! ”

"Could it be that Taiyuan Jun wants to ......" Li Dang's voice trembled, his body trembled, and he almost fell, "He wants to use the more than 10,000 people of the Southern Zhong Army to sweep the five barbarians near Liaodong County?" ”

Li Fu stared at the sky and sighed, "Yes." His courage is greater than I imagined! Brother Guang has been trembling in Longxi all his life, and he has never thought about taking the initiative, right? Let's not talk about attacking the Huns, dare to ask, has he ever thought about attacking Xiqiang? ”

Li Dang blushed and nodded, "As my uncle said, father, I didn't think of taking the initiative. ”

"Sure enough! Just as General Nan Zhong said, the combat methods of Brother Guang and Cheng Buzhi are outdated. Although Li Fu was unwilling, he still said this seemingly heart-wrenching sentence, "Your Majesty declared war on the Xiongnu, what you need is a general who dares to attack and fight the prestige of the Han army. ”

He gently patted Li Kang's shoulder and instructed, "Dare 'er, after you go back, tell Brother Guang that the big man has changed."

Li Dang was a little silent, and whispered: "Uncle, don't worry, I will tell you."

"Hmm." Li Fu waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates to lead the horse back, "Let's go, let's talk about the refined salt business." ”

"No!"

Under the leadership, Li Dang came to a private house, he knelt behind the desk, quietly looked at his uncle on the opposite side of the desk, and waited for the other party to make an offer.

Li Fu suddenly smiled and personally poured a glass of water for Li Dang, "Don't be restrained, it's all a family." To tell me the truth, Brother Guang's demand for salt has the highest price. ”

Li Dang didn't rush to bid, but took out two documents from his arms, "Uncle, these are the two letters that my father asked my nephew to bring, please take a look at it." ”

"Oh?" Li glanced at the silk book in frustration and took it.

One was written by his wife, and the other letter was written by Li Guang himself.

Li Fu hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, ruthlessly, put the two letters aside, did not open them, and said in a loud voice: "Let's talk about salt first." Military matters are higher than family affairs. ”

"Uncle really doesn't watch it?"

"No need, Brother Guang's character, uncle knows it. I'm afraid that after reading it, I'm sorry for General Nanzhong, I'm sorry for Your Majesty. ”

Li Dare asked rhetorically, "Uncle, if you don't look at it, are you worthy of the Li family in Longxi?" ”

Li Fu grinned and forced a smile, "Nephew, since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been difficult to achieve, and my uncle is also forced to do so. ”

He motioned for all his subordinates to go out, and after no one was around, he said cryptically: "The Nanzhong Army has a big move next, which requires a lot of military spending, and my uncle is also forced to do this." When Nan Zhongjun's affairs are over, my uncle will return to Longxi and personally apologize to Brother Guang, the clan elders, and the ancestral hall! ”

When it came to this, he was too embarrassed to say more, he arched his hand and spoke earnestly, "Uncle! ”

"If you call me uncle, I can't be too ruthless." Li Fu closed his eyes and tapped a few times with his hand, "Nephew, I can reveal a little, if you order salt, the highest bidder can give priority to ordering stirrups and horseshoes." After you go back, don't think about sending someone to imitate, since Nan Zhongjun dares to let the three of you bring samples back, they are not afraid of imitation! ”

He opened his eyes suddenly, and said lightly: "If you can think of it, General Nanzhong can also think of it, don't underestimate the wisdom of the general."

As soon as he heard that the bidder had the right to order stirrups and horseshoes in advance, Li Kang's eyes immediately became solemn.

This is an artifact for gaining military merit!

Longxi is bound to win!

"Uncle, is this true?"

"There is no such thing as a fake!"

Li Dang clapped his hands, "That's good! Can you make my nephew think for a moment? ”

"Yes! Uncle gave you time to stick incense! ”

"Uncle Xie!"

Li Dang immediately closed his eyes and thought about the gains and losses.

Although the development of things has deviated from the track predicted by Li Guang before, Li Kang has no regrets.

On the contrary, he was excited, excited!

He even thinks that to be good!

Isn't it money?

With stirrups and horseshoes, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry has increased, and it is not impossible to fight with the military ministers alone in ten thousand cavalry!

Money and military merit, naturally the latter is important!

Even, if the combat effectiveness is enough, learn the methods of the Huns, go to the Huns tribe to plunder a few times, and don't you come back what you lost?

Suddenly, Li Fu suddenly said again: "Dare, General Nanzhong has explained, if the military budget in Longxi is not enough, you can use Xiongnu slaves instead!" A Xiongnu slave in the prime of life can be worth 300 yuan, a young Xiongnu woman is 500 yuan, and a Xiongnu child is 100 yuan! ”

After Li Dang heard this, he instantly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "Uncle, what does Taiyuan Jun want the Hun slaves to do?" ”

The corners of Li Fu's mouth raised, hooked up a touch of arc, and said loudly: "The general feels the suffering of the people, and uses Xiongnu slaves to replace the people's husbands, build water conservancy, and govern the Yellow River!" Moreover, they can also be allowed to build mausoleums to relieve the burden of forced labor on the people! ”

"This ...... Can the Huns still use it like this? Can...... Doing so would be a crusade against Confucianism, right? Li Dang said weakly.

Li Fu smiled contemptuously. "Hmph, this move relieves the pressure of the Han people, Confucianism, why crusade?"
