In September of the ninth year of orthodoxy, Henan Bu political envoy Si Zhangde Mansion Tangyin County, Chen family.

Dai Yu, Geng Biao, and Song Hai traveled for more than ten days before they arrived at Chen's house, at this time the three of them were already in tattered clothes and unkempt.

At this time, Xu He was sitting in the side hall, drinking tea leisurely, and four or five young men of the Chen family stood aside, staring coldly at Dai Yu, Geng Biao, and Song Hai to prevent the three of them from doing anything stupid.

I saw Dai Yu, Geng Biao, and Song Hai kneeling on the ground side by side, telling about the atrocities of Yushanji.

"Butler Xu! That Liu Juntao has ill intentions, he is recruiting troops and buying horses in Yushan, and his subordinates have gathered five or six hundred horses, and there are thousands of young and strong soldiers, and his ambition is not small! ”

After Dai Yu finished speaking, Geng Biao also said angrily: "Yes, Steward Xu, the three of us brothers originally wanted to go and eat, but we didn't think that Liu Juntao meant something, and he was ready to do something to the Chen family!" How dare we have it, we wanted to speak for the Chen family, but we were beaten up! ”

Song Hai even cried and said: "Steward Xu, pity the three of us brothers who spoke up for the Chen family, but ended up like this, not only were they beaten severely, but even our brothers' horses were taken away, that's the guy we eat!" ”

Dai Yu, Geng Biao, and Song Hai said a word to me, and they talked for a long time, which was nothing more than suing Liu Juntao in front of Xu He, and at the same time putting gold on their faces.

Xu He is a flexible person, where can't he hear the meaning of the three people's words?

At this time, Xu He pondered for a moment and said, "Okay! Don't make noise there! ”

As soon as the words fell, Dai Yu, Geng Biao, and Song Hai immediately closed their mouths and stopped talking.

Xu He asked: "Tell me, what are Liu Juntao's specific actions now!" I want to take concrete action! ”

The three of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they said in unison: "Steelmaking!" ”

Xu He's pupils suddenly constricted when he heard this, his face was very ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's talk about it carefully!" ”

About half an hour later, Xu He came to the backyard study from the side hall, where Chen Herui, the head of the Chen family, and Chen Bin, the martial artist, were drinking tea in the study.

As soon as Xu He entered the door, he turned over and locked the door, then saluted Chen Herui, and said hello to Chen Bin.

Seeing that Xu He's face was very ugly, the head of the family, Chen Herui, had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked, "What did the three ringing horses say?" Makes you so ugly? ”

Chen Bin also looked at it, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Xu He said in a deep voice: "The head of the family, the three ringing horses all ran from Yushanji, and they were all driven out by Liu Juntao, wanting to take refuge in our Chen family. They have bad news for them! ”

"What bad news!"

"Then Liu Juntao is making steel! Large-scale steelmaking! ”

"What!"

At this moment, not only the head of the family, Chen Herui, was taken aback, but even the martial artist Chen Bin couldn't sit still, and the whole person bounced up, standing aside and staring at Xu He.

Chen Herui said with a hideous face: "How can steelmaking be so easy! That Liu Juntao is just a reckless, what ability does he have to make steel! What is he going to do to make steel! ”

Xu He sighed heavily and said: "Family master, after the three ringing horses said that Liu Juntao was making steel, I asked the three of them separately, which can confirm that the three of them are not lying, then Liu Juntao is indeed making steel, and he has succeeded!" ”

At this time, Xu He glanced at Chen Bin and said with something in his words: "As for what Liu Juntao is going to do with these steels, I think it should be to build weapons and armor!" ”

Chen Bin's face became more and more ugly when he heard this, and beads of sweat the size of beans came out instantly.

Chen Bin, who has been training young and strong all the year round, knows very well that although the Chen family is young and strong now, and there are archers and horse teams, the weapons equipped by everyone are made of pig iron, and it is impossible to equip armor!

Once the Yushan Guards are equipped with weapons and armor made of stainless steel, the power of the Chen family's archers will be greatly reduced, and the Chen family's horse team will also be at a disadvantage when facing the Yushan Horse Gathering Team!

Thinking of the formidable formation of the Yushan Guards, Chen Bin suddenly felt a surge of despair in his heart!

"How so? Why did my Chen family fall into such a situation in the blink of an eye! ”

Chen Bin kept asking questions in his heart, but there was no answer.

At this time, the head of the family, Chen Herui, frowned, sat on the Taishi chair and thought about countermeasures, suddenly looked at Chen Bin, and asked, "Now that your men and horses are raiding Yushanji, what are the chances of winning?" ”

Chen Bin was suddenly excited, and hurriedly said: "Family master, now our Chen family and Yushanji are almost in a situation of equal strength, both of them have more defense and less offense, and we both have horse teams, and whoever takes the initiative to attack now will be at a disadvantage!" Therefore, I advise the head of the family to be cautious! ”

The head of the family, Chen Herui, was noncommittal when he heard this, and lowered his head in contemplation.

Xu He glanced at Chen Bin, although he and Chen Bin did not deal with each other, but he must also admit that Chen Bin was indeed right. Now if the Chen family's brigade takes the initiative to attack, Tangyin County is far away from the Yushanji Road, and the terrain on the road is complicated, then Liu Juntao has time to react, and can attack the Chen family and horses at will on the road!

At this time, the head of the family, Chen Herui, raised his head and looked at Xu He and Chen Bin, and said: "Since it is not the actual time to do it, then let's sanction Yushanji, so that Liu Juntao will take care of one and lose the other, and he will not be able to concentrate on developing his strength!" ”

Xu He and Chen Bin's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they both looked at Chen Herui and waited for the following.

The head of the family, Chen Herui, continued: "Chen Bin! You immediately gather your horse team, break the horse team into pieces, and sprinkle all of them into Yanzhou Mansion to destroy the industry of Yushanji! Remember, especially keep an eye on the private salt team of Yushanji, and cut off the private salt business of Yushanji for me! In addition, tell the brothers to fight and run, and not to get entangled with the people and horses of Yushanji! ”

Chen Bin immediately laughed when he heard this, and said, "It's still the head of the family who is wise!" Now, Liu Juntao is estimated to be anxious! ”

After that, Chen Herui said to Xu He: "You take some brothers to Zhang Qiu Town and smash all the shops belonging to Liu Juntao in the town!" Then send someone to contact the Kong family in Ningyang County, Yanzhou Prefecture, to see if the Kong family has any interest in getting involved! ”

Xu He also smiled when he heard this, and said: "Don't worry, the head of the family, then Liu Juntao's industry in Zhangqiu Town can't be left!" ”

Speaking of the Kong family, Xu He said with some worry: "The head of the family, it's just that Kong Sancai, the head of the Kong family, has always been unprofitable and can't afford to be early, he may not necessarily come over to wade into troubled waters, even if he agrees to us to attack Yushanji, most of them will open his mouth!" ”

The head of the family, Chen Herui, snorted coldly and said, "If he Kong Sancai dares to rip money with me, then don't pay attention to him anymore!" Besides, I don't plan to count on Kong Sancai, as long as the Kong family makes a little move, it can distract Yushanji's attention! ”

After finishing speaking, the head of the family, Chen Herui, asked, "What happened to the three ringing horses?" ”

Xu He replied: "It's all up to the head of the family!" ”

"Humph! Three bedbugs who saw the wind and made the rudder, did it! ”

Xu He smiled again and said, "Order!" ”
