Fifty miles of official road, it should have been able to be the state capital at the beginning of Shenchu, because there were too many delays on the road, and it was not until the beginning of Youchu that he arrived outside the city of Chuzhou.

As the state capital, Yongyang City has a high wall and a population of 28,000 households, which is more than the other three counties in Chuzhou combined.

The summer days were long, the weather was fine, and when they were miles away, they saw a great army coming from the south at the city gate.

The city gate guard had already given the order, and immediately turned around to deliver the message.

In the gatehouse of the city wall, the third disciple, Jiang Ping, the master of the horse village, Master Lin, and Tang Guang were already waiting.

After winning Chuzhou, the three apprentices overfulfilled the task of going south, and they should have gone back to Bozhou.

It's just that Chuzhou was initially decided, things were complicated, and Tu Sanyi was not free yet, but he also prepared a generous gift, ready to let Jiang Ping go to Bozhou on his behalf.

Without waiting for Jiang Ping to set off, Liu Er came to Chuzhou with Marshal Liu's handwritten letter.

Not to mention the advance of the wedding, Deng Jian and Huo Wu also went to Bozhou to attend the wedding.

No matter how close Liu Er was, he could inquire secretly, and after knowing the current situation in Bozhou, Tu San was depressed and panicked, his heart was angry, and he was anxious.

The third apprentice is a son-in-law, what should he do, it is all ordered by the elders, and it is nothing to obey, but why toss Deng Jian and Huo Wu?

In his heart, Bozhou is no less than the Longtan Tiger's Den.

When relatives and friends are about to be reunited, the three disciples are not happy, but they are even more worried, afraid that they will affect everyone because of themselves.

Jiang Ping knew that he was jealous of Bozhou, and whispered comfortingly: "Marshal Sun will not come directly to us, and Marshal Liu is not a fool, and he will not cut off his arm." Even Uncle Liu and Second Master Liu, the marshal will also watch it! ”

Tu San sighed and said, "Marshal Liu is old!" ”

When he gets old, he is soft-hearted, doesn't he know about Liu Da and Liu Er?

It's just three sons, and it's just a favorite.

This time I went to Bozhou, and the state capital here set Jiang Ping, Ma Zhai Master, and Tang Xing to stay behind, and the third apprentice and Master Lin took 8,000 men and horses to the north.

Before, the three disciples only planned to bring 3,000 people, but later learned that Marshal Liu "invited" Deng Jian and Huo Wu to add another 5,000.

Rao is like this, whether he is going to a foreign country, Tu San is still not at ease in his heart.

The owner of Ma Zhai is rectum, and said happily: "Third master, don't worry, we are not vegetarians!" Bozhou is four hundred and fifty miles away from Yongyang, and it will be there in two days! If someone in Bozhou doesn't open their eyes and provokes the third master, let's pull all the people over and him! ”

In the Black Python Mountain before, everyone was commensurate with each other, but when they entered Chuzhou, they divided the master and slave.

The third brother calls everyone, and he is still politely called a brother.

But from Jiang Ping down, everyone gradually changed their honorific titles.

Tu San shook his head and said: "Now there are only 600 horses, 500 are equipped in the pro-guards, and they go north with the army, and the remaining 100 are made up by private horses. ”

Jiang Ping is now in charge of the Chuzhou Army and military quartermasters, and frowned: "This lack of horses is really a big problem, but this folk horse has a number, and it is not easy to get together for a while!" ”

The owner of the horse village laughed: "It's not easy to make up horses, isn't it easy to make up military horses?" There are 500 military horses in a state capital in Chuzhou, and there is a Hezhou next to it? ”

Hezhou is in the southwest of Chuzhou, bordering Chuzhou, and belongs to Huainan Province.

Disciple San was stunned when he heard this.

Master Lin's hand touching his beard also paused, and after a while, he nodded and said, "It's to take Hezhou!" ”

Chuzhou to the north is Bozhou, to the south is Chuzhou two counties, want to expand, there are only two options.

To the east, out of Huainan Road, the power is weak; To the west is Hezhou, which also belongs to Huainan Province, and more importantly, Luzhou is to the west of Hezhou.

Luzhou has a Chaohu Lake Water Army, and if you take the Chaohu Lake Water Army, you will be able to attack Yangzhou, the seat of Huainan Province, and gather the entire Huainan Road.

At that time, if you want to cross the river to get south of the Yangtze River, or counterattack Huaibei, you will have a foundation.

"Okay, you can discuss it with Brother Deng and brother-in-law, and then the soldiers will be divided into three ways and take Hezhou!" When it comes to the war, only agitation is left in the chest, and the depression of relatives and friends being forced to go to Bozhou has long been left behind.

Everyone else was excited.

Nowadays, everyone is engaged in the business of pinning their heads to the waist of their pants, and naturally the bigger the territory, the better.

After listening to the words of the city gatekeepers, everyone went down to the city tower to greet them.

Tu San remembered something and said: "Thank you Xiaobao this time, there is a granary in Chuzhou, but everyone has seen it, the good grain is called to be changed, and the rest is bran mixed with sand and gravel." If Xiaobao didn't ask someone to transport food in a hurry, the barracks would have to run out of cooking! ”

The owner of the horse village smiled: "It's not for nothing, isn't it a credit?" I heard that the leopard kid also changed the shop in the city with the third master on behalf of Xiaobao, and the third master felt sorry for his nephew, and he didn't lose him! ”

Disciple Sandao: "It's the leopard's cleverness, seeing that the north-south traffic is now cut off and the trade route is not passable, so he took advantage of the cheap grain transportation, poured a bunch of southern goods over, and left a proper person to take care of it, and now the southern goods store has opened!" ”

Jiang Ping praised: "Little Bao Ye is smart and has a long-term vision. ”

At that time, Tu San had not yet occupied Chuzhou, and no one else thought about the grain and grass, so Huo Bao thought about it.

The grain and iron business initiated by Huo Bao is linked by kinship, and it has not attracted too many people to join the company, and sixty percent of the shares are only divided into Huo Wu, Huo Wu's three brothers, apprentice three, and Deng Jian.

It seems that the Huo family's father and son account for the majority, but it is not calculated like this.

Apprentice Three, Ma Zhai Master, Du Lao Ba and the three of them are all in Chuzhou, and they are all in Chuzhou, and Huo Bao sends them to Chuzhou, Quyang County, and Binjiang County.

In Jiang Ping's eyes, this kind of distribution method that can clearly distinguish the master and slave can reflect Huo Bao's intelligence.

If Huo Bao knew that Jiang Ping was thinking about all this, he would definitely be speechless.

Brain supplement, is a disease.

While they were talking, they arrived at the gate of the city.

Thousands of people and horses came in a huge way, but they were orderly and not cluttered.

Coupled with the color of white clothes and more solemnity, where can this army be compared to those peasant soldiers in Bozhou who are still holding hoes?

Disciple San's eyes lit up when he saw it.

Jiang Ping, Master Lin, Tang Guang and others have different thoughts.

The owner of the horse village couldn't help but cover his eyes.

Spicy eyes!

Whoever made a moth is like losing filial piety!

The other white-shirted soldiers, known as the white shirts, are just wearing clothes backwards, revealing the white linen liner inside.

It's convenient and hassle-free.

When you're not a white shirt, you just have to wear your clothes.

It's the first time I've seen a white-shirted army in a white vest like this.

Deng Jian, Huo Wu, Huo Bao and others rode in front, and when they saw the people at the city gate, they all rode their horses and galloped a few steps.

"Brother-in-law, Brother Deng!" The third disciple took two steps forward and personally took the reins of Huo Wuma.

"Little San'er!"

Huo Wu turned over and dismounted, took Tu San's shoulders, looked him up and down, and finally landed on the blisters at the corner of his mouth: "Why are you still on fire?" But what are the difficulties? ”

Tu San couldn't help but feel sad, everything was behind, and the elder brother who cared about his health first was only this brother-in-law.

Not only are the corners of his mouth foaming, but his mouth is also full of soybean-sized blisters.

Deng Jian, Huo Bao and others also dismounted and surrounded them.

None of them are outsiders, Tu San smiled bitterly: "I just knew, a few days ago, Marshal Sun of Bozhou held a banquet to kill the two marshals Zhang and Li, and annexed the two forces, and now Bozhou is afraid that it will be chaotic, and I will affect everyone!" ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Huo Bao and said to Huo Wu: "Brother-in-law, Bozhou is not peaceful, you can't take Xiaobao there!" ”

Huo Wu said disapprerovingly: "If it's not peaceful, why can't it be peaceful?" Before Marshal Liu forcibly invited, we were still worried that it was a 'Hongmen Banquet', so it seems that we are invited to be a foreign aid deterrent! This is not right, we are guests far away, and it doesn't take much effort to help shout twice, and there is a lively look! ”

Deng Jian also said: "Huo Baoli is strong, and he can barely be a pioneer!" ”

These are good words, but this tone is full of disgust.

Looking at Huo Bao again, standing farthest away from Deng Jian, his face was full of emptiness.

What happened to these two uncles and nephews?

Disciple San looked at his brother-in-law with an inquiry in his eyes.

Huo Wu said with a smile: "Yesterday, Xiaobao and Xiuxiu got married, your brother Deng is holding his father-in-law's shelf!" ”

Apprentice San was pleasantly surprised: "Great, it should have been booked a long time ago!" Speaking of this, I couldn't help complaining: "Brother-in-law and Brother Deng are also anxious, I still want to be a big matchmaker!" ”

Huo Wudao: "Do it if you want to, and let you do it when Xiaobao marries!" ”

Tu San smiled and nodded, beckoned Huo Bao to him, and said with relief: "If it weren't for the dozens of truckloads of grain you asked someone to transport, my uncle's side would be out of cooking!" ”

Huo Bao had a closeness on his face and said, "Thanks to the blessing of Uncle Seven, I ordered a lot of official warehouses and grain in Jinling...... The people of the three counties chew it, save some for March, and wait until September to think of another idea. ”

Under normal circumstances, the supply of the rebel army was taxed from the local government.

Last year, Chuzhou was hit by drought and epidemics, which affected farming.

Quyang, the hardest-hit company, has been exempted from agricultural taxes; The remaining Yongyang and Binjiang areas were also affected by the drought, and the harvest was not as good as in previous years, making it difficult to be self-sufficient.

"Can it be supplied until September, that time is enough!" Apostus made a decision.

Shui Jin and Wang Qianhu took the Binjiang soldiers and Quyang soldiers to settle down with Jiang Ping, and the rest of the others went to the state government with the three disciples.

The reception banquet has been prepared for a long time, and when Shui Jin and Jiang Ping come back, everyone has also finished greeting and entered the banquet one after another.

There were two tables at the table, and Huo Wu, Deng Jian, and Xue Qi were the guests at the first table, and they sat on the head, and the third apprentice, the master of the horse village, and Master Liu were accompanied.

At the second table, Huo Bao, Shui Jin, Wang Qianhu, and Niu Qing were guests, and Jiang Ping, Tang Guang, Wei Hai, and Wei Jiang were accompanied.

At the main table, the third disciple mentioned to everyone that he wanted to send troops and the state after the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was very lively.

"Hit and state? Good! This idle person is going to be moldy! Huo Wu immediately responded.

Xue Biao said: "Hezhou is good, Hezhou is near the river, there are many canals, the drought has little impact, there should be food!" ”

"Hit!" Deng Jian still cherishes words like gold.

At the second table, the atmosphere is a little weird.

On the wine table, the seat is the heaviest,

The only people who could sit with the three disciples before were Jiang Ping and Shui Jin, who were regarded as right-hand men.

Now, a new person has been raised.

The Wei brothers are all twenty-four people, and Huo Bao has also been in contact with them before.

Among the villagers around Tu San, the Wei brothers' bravery was second only to Shui Jin.

If the water is not there, it is not surprising that Tibo's henchmen will come up.

"Brother Shui, I am the captain of the guard next to the third master, and there are five hundred people under me!" Wei Jiang was only seventeen or eighteen years old, young and frivolous, and said with a little pride.

Wei Hai was twenty-five or six years old, lifted the wine cup, and said with a kind face: "Jinzi, don't listen to his nonsense, it's all because you and Xiao Baoye are not in front of you, and the third master is no one available, so you brought him up!" ”

Shui Jin lifted the wine cup, clinked glasses with Wei Hai, raised it to Wei Jiang Yao again, and laughed heartily: "The brothers followed the third master out of Bozhou, just to make meritorious contributions, and they will be promoted in the future!" Congratulations to Brother Wei, and congratulations to Brother Wei. As he spoke, he drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and the mouth of the wine cup was downward, and there was no trickle left.

The brothers Wei Hai and Wei Jiang also followed.

No one's position is fixed, and Shui Jin's gaze is more blurry.

Huo Bao saw it in his eyes, but he was a little unbearable.

A good founding king with a different surname who has made outstanding achievements, don't waste it in the supply.

What to do?
