Chapter 475: Visitor
The news of the victory of the Mo army over the Xiongnu spread in the Central Plains, especially the news of the capture of countless cattle, sheep and horses made the entire Central Plains boiling, for a while, the envoys of various countries went to the plain city, accompanied by merchants from various countries, now the situation in the Central Plains is not calm, they all want to exchange money and grain for the cattle and horses of the Mo army, as for the sheep no one cares.
For these Central Plains countries, Mo Chen is also very generous, as long as you have money and food, and have what he needs, he will sell it, but this price is much higher than that of the Qin army, and the number of war horses is also specified, which makes the envoys of the Central Plains countries grit their teeth with hatred, but when Zhao Jun also sent people to buy, and was directly driven back to Zhao by Mo Chen, the envoys of the rest of the countries had no opinions, but secretly rejoiced.
Another month passed, and another army of 1,000 people appeared outside the city of Pingyuan City, and it was Mo Chen's acquaintance, that is, Lian Po, who had not been seen for several years.
Mo Chen got the news and greeted him outside the city in person, and there were also generals of various armies who went there, which can be described as very grand.
Mo Chen recognized Lian Po at the front of the team at a glance, but he hadn't seen him for a few years, and the old general who had been in high spirits was already a little haggard, and his complexion was a little bad, Mo Chen immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Old general, I haven't seen you for a long time, it really makes Mo Xuan worry!" ”
Lian Po looked at Mo Chen, nodded with a very satisfied face, and said with a smile: "Haha, Xiao Mo, the old man has heard about you, and now the Central Plains countries have spread it, the old man really didn't mistake you, you are really a dragon and a phoenix!" Very good, very nice. ”
"Hehe, the old general has won the award, and Mo Xuan is just luck, this is thanks to the soldiers, Mo Xuan doesn't dare to take credit, I think that Mo Xuan was waved by the old general, Mo Xuan was impressed by the heroism of the old general, Mo Xuan didn't dare to compare with the old general!" Mo Chen said modestly.
Just when Mo Chen and Lian Po were catching up, an unfriendly voice suddenly came out.
"Hmph, isn't it just that I have fought with the Huns a few times, and what is there to be proud of with those Huns who are armed with wooden sticks and dressed in tatters."
Mo Chen looked at it, and saw a little boy in armor, about five years old, although the little boy was young, but he was very domineering, and his eyes were like a sharp blade.
However, this child's words annoyed the Mo army soldiers present, a little fart child dared to be so arrogant without growing his hair, you must know that war is not child's play, they used the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers to win the victory, such casualties are the pain in their hearts, and now there are still people who disdain it, if it weren't for the face of the old general Lian Po, they would have scolded them a long time ago, but the Mo army general still looked at the Yan army general in front of him with a bad face, in the eyes of the Mo army general, How could such a young child say such arrogant words, there must have been an adult to teach.
Lian Po also noticed the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the general of the Mo army, and looked at the young man with some embarrassment in his eyes.
Seeing this, a middle-aged man next to him smiled and played a round game, hugged his fists, and said: "General Mo, in Xia Xiang Liang, Xiang Ji is young and frivolous, please don't blame General Mo, don't compensate General Mo in the next place." ”
After Xiang Liang finished speaking, he looked at the little boy on the side and scolded: "Xiang Ji, don't you pay General Mo compensation." ”
"Father Ji"
When the little boy heard this, he just wanted to refute, but when he saw Xiang Liang's serious face, he had to look reluctant, hugged his fists, and said very perfunctorily: "Xiang Ji is not compensating General Mo." ”
Mo Chen can see from Lian Po's expression that this child's identity is not ordinary, now hearing the middle-aged man's self-proclaim, he can't help but glance at the boy in front of him again, although he doesn't know who Xiang Ji is, but Xiang Liang Mochen still knows, that is a famous hero, that is, Xiang Yu's uncle, but the little kid in front of him called Xiang Ji, he has never heard of it, but looking at the relationship between Xiang Liang at this young age, I don't know if it is Xiang Yu's brother, of course, I don't know if it is a cousin, Maybe Xiang Yu hasn't made a move yet, and Mochen doesn't bother to ask about these things, after all, people are so small, he can't recruit people over! Besides, even if you don't dislike people as little children, people can't look down on your own small temple!
"Haha, it's normal for children to be ignorant! The old general obviously didn't just come to see Xiao Mo, let's go into the city to talk, Xiao Mo has already prepared the drink, just waiting for you, the old general! Mo Chen smiled and said, no way, I can't compete with a child! Besides, the old generals of Lian Po are here, and if you don't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, you can't drive people away!
When Lian Po heard the wine, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay, Xiao Mo, we haven't had a drink for a long time, let's go." ”
The team slowly walked towards the gorge of Pingyuan City, although the current rock wall of the gorge is still steep and vertical, as if a boulder may fall down at any time, but the bottom has been repaired by Mo Chen, the rock wall below is smooth, and the road that could only be passed by two carriages has also been expanded to three carriages now because of the need to pass, although there is only one more carriage, but the time to enter and exit Pingyuan City is more than one-third faster.
Now in order to welcome the arrival of Lian Po, there have been sergeants standing guard on both sides of the station from the beginning of the gorge, and the soldiers' military appearance, heroic posture, and that kind of evil aura made the soldiers of Chu feel a chill, so that they couldn't help but be on guard, for fear that the soldiers of the Mo army would suddenly attack.
Lian Po looked at these elite soldiers, and couldn't help but nod his head in praise, chatting with Mo Chen all the way, and many topics were around these soldiers.
However, the child named Xiang Ji was excited, and seemed to like the sword armor on the soldiers.
Walking into the plain city, the plain city at this time is no longer like the grass at the beginning, nor two or three grass houses, the current plain city has developed very well, there are streets, there are two into the building, these are very surprised by the Chu army soldiers.
Of course, the only thing that hasn't changed is that the city gate is still controlled by the army, and the idle people can't stay near the city gate for a long time, after all, the personnel of the Mo army are complex after all, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be any ill-intentioned people, and the city gate has become the most important defense, and Mo Chen attaches great importance to this.
Now Mo Chen also has his own mansion, which was built by Jiang Feng, who was left behind.
After coming to Mo Chen's mansion, after some reminiscence, they finally talked about the topic, nothing more than buying war horses and the like, and those little children named Xiang Ji were bored and secretly ran out of Mo Chen's mansion, although it was secret, but everyone present knew it, but everyone who talked about it didn't care about him.
The little boy ran out of a trot, wanting to see what Mo Jun was training, but the soldiers guarding outside the training ground didn't let him in at all, so he could only pretend to leave, and then looked at the top of the mountain, showing a smug smile, but he didn't even climb up the mountainside when he saw a group of teenagers actually training, curious, he quickly crawled over to peek, but before he got close, he was discovered.
However, the youth camp did not embarrass him about the proximity of the little kid, and when Xiang Ji proposed to join, Mo Yuan only hesitated and agreed, anyway, what they are training now is just a small fight, not a secret.
