Chapter 514: Huo Cun's thoughts

"The general doesn't have to be like this, isn't this offending the marshal?" Seeing that Li Wenzhong did not give Cui An face so much, his subordinates on the side were a little puzzled.

"What do you know? Don't ask what you shouldn't. Li Wenzhong glared at his subordinates, and then ordered, "Hurry up and let people count the money, one million guan is enough to pay the difference, and the rest will be divided among the brothers." ”

"What about you, General?"

"Look for Ben to see if there are any fun things, choose a few pieces, and Ben will keep them and give them away." Li Wenzhong said casually.

"That section handsome? Do you need to report it? ”

"Of course you have to report, after all, he is the commander." Li Wenzhong pointed out.

"Yes, General."

For Cui Anqian, who left angrily, Li Wenzhong was not worried.

The Holy Lord sent him not to listen to Cui Anqian honestly, but to assist Cui Anqian in managing Ziqing Town. The implication is that if Cui An is not good at latent management, he can help manage it.

And Cui An can't sneak this side branch of the Kong family, it's not really just for the court, to put it bluntly, it's for himself and the family behind him.

As for the name of the Confucian family, it is not easy to use in this troubled era.

。。。。。。

"Madam, something big has happened in Qingzhou City, and the villain suggests that Madame not enter the city for the time being."

At the wharf in Bochang County, Li was staring at the coolies on the wharf carrying goods, and then the entourage he sent to inquire about the news ran back with a panicked face.

"What's going on in Qingzhou?" Li's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"The new marshal found an excuse to raid the general's clan, which is the largest Wang clan in Qingzhou City. I heard that the palace was full of blood, and many Wang clansmen were killed by those who were soldiers, and their bodies were hanging... and hang it in front of the tower. The retinue was somewhat incoherent.

"What?"

Hearing this news, the Li family was stunned, why did things suddenly become like this?

"How could that new festival marshal suddenly go on a killing spree!"

"I don't know, I said that I was worried about the money of the palace!" The attendant told the truth what he had heard.

"It's not about money, it's said that this Wang family is killing themselves." At this time, a steward on the dock walked over and was slightly distracted when he saw Li, but in the end he was reluctant to take his eyes off him.

"This Lang Jun, please tell me everything you know." As he spoke, Li asked the people around him to take out two pieces of money and hand it over to the steward.

The dock manager took the two pieces of money as a matter of course, checked them, and said with a smile, "It's true that a lot of people have died in this Qingzhou City, haven't you seen so many goods piled up at this dock?" It was all because of the influence of Qingzhou, and most of these caravans did not dare to go. ”

"Then what's going on with the Wang family? Isn't that the biggest family in Qingzhou? Li asked.

"What this little lady said is right, this Wang family was indeed the largest family in Qingzhou when the previous Jiedu envoy was there.

But two days ago, the new Jiedu envoy wanted to find some money from Qingzhou families because the treasury was empty. But who knew that this Wang clan was the first to jump out and only donate 1,000 yuan, isn't this a humiliation for the new festival envoy?

It is estimated that it is for this reason that the Wang family has caused trouble, and there are several unlucky families.

It's a pity that these families were also wealthy families in Qingzhou before, but they became prisoners in the blink of an eye, and the world is impermanent.

By the way, little lady, you'd better wait for the wind to pass before going to Qingzhou in two days, so as not to be unsafe! ”

Maybe it was because he saw the two pieces of money, or maybe he saw that the little lady in front of him was in good shape, and the dock steward couldn't help but remind him.

"Thank you Lang Jun!"

Subsequently, the Li family asked people to inquire about what happened in Qingzhou City, although the content was somewhat different, but the shrewd Li still sorted out the general context from it.

This Qingzhou Wang is really dead, if he is interested in taking money to eliminate disasters, it is estimated that there is no such thing.

It is said that the new official took office with three fires, and the Wang family did not give face, so the first fire naturally burned to the head of the Wang family.

As for the fact that the bodies of the Wang clan were hung at the city gate, it is not true, but the Wang clan did die a lot, and the rest were also imprisoned.

Thinking that his husband came from this Wang family, although it was only a collateral lineage, and it had already been separated, but after all, it was the same clan and the same clan.

Li was also a little embarrassed.

。。。。。。

"Thorn history, this is the current situation in Qingzhou, it is said that the festival marshal used this method to make a lot of money from those families in Qingzhou.

Why don't we follow suit in Qizhou? ”

Huo Cun hurriedly shook his head, "We can't do this, otherwise we won't be able to gain a foothold in Qizhou." However, it is possible to hold a dinner party and use this incident in Qingzhou to get some money and food to expand the army. ”

"How much does Assassin Shi plan to expand his army?"

"Recruit another 5,000 infantry troops and 3,000 cavalry, so that we can be regarded as having the right to speak in Ziqing, and even if it is a jiedu envoy, we can't despise us." Huo Cun said in a deep voice.

The previous war also caused Huo Cun to lose a lot of troops, and now there are 10,000 foot cavalry in the entire Qizhou. If it is according to his idea of expanding the army, it will be nearly 20,000 people, and there are so many troops in one state, which Huo Cun's ambition is not small.

According to Huo Cun's thoughts, if he didn't take advantage of the current expansion of his strength, it would not be so easy for him to expand after Wang Shifan's side was wiped out by Cui Anqian.

"Father, this infantry army is easy to say, but these 3,000 cavalry are not easy. Qizhou does not produce horses, and if you want to get war horses, you can only buy them from other feudal towns, but with the location of Qizhou, as long as the festival degree makes it stuck, even if your father can buy war horses, it will be difficult to transport them in.

And it is impossible for the imperial court to provide my father with three thousand war horses! Huo Yanwei, the son of Huo Cun, on the side, worried.

"It can be purchased from Yokohai Lu Yanwei." Zhang Guiba suggested.

Qizhou is located in the westernmost part of Ziqing Town, with Dezhou of Henghai Jiedu in the north, Bozhou of Wei Bojiedu in the west, Yunzhou of Tianping Army Jiedu in the southwest, and Yanzhou of Taining Army in the south.

In fact, none of these four towns produce horses, but from the Henghai Naval Festival, you can get horses from Youzhou.

The best ones were actually purchased from Khitan, Youzhou and other places, and then transported to Qizhou through the Yellow River. However, this must be agreed by Cui Anqian, otherwise the ships transporting the war horses will not be able to reach Qizhou at all, and they will be intercepted.

"The war horses of the Henghai Festival envoys are all purchased from Youzhou, and the price we buy from Henghai is even greater, right?" Someone hesitated.

"War horses must be bought, without a strong cavalry, it will be difficult for us to gain a foothold in Qizhou, which is surrounded by great enemies. If there is not enough money and food, the number of infantry troops can be appropriately reduced, but the cavalry must be formed. Huo Cun made up his mind.

In this troubled world, only soldiers can be valued.
