Chapter 207: A Visitor from the Western Regions

"My father wrote that the Son of Heaven was very sick. He wants to accompany Emperor Bai for a while, and entrust you with all the military affairs on Jingzhou's side. ”

Guan Yinping carefully spread out Guan Yu's letter and put it on the table in front of Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao picked it up and looked at it, and changed the topic and said: "Everything is ready, this time we will win a big battle." ”

He didn't care about Liu Bei's body, he remembered that Liu Bei hadn't run out of oil at this time in history, and he still had the energy to go out to fight in person, but now, he ...... He walked to the fateful place of White Emperor City, and he happened to fall ill.

And it seems to be very sick.

Could it be that Heavenly Dao is really repairing its own traces in this era? If this is the case, I have worked hard to plan all this, and then won't the bamboo basket be empty?

He didn't dare to tell others that he was a traverser, and he could only hold everything in his heart and try to pursue more victories.

Look at it, if everything is fate, then I, Zhao Hao, shouldn't be here, I want to see what happens next, and how the Heavenly Dao should be corrected!

"Since the general has temporarily handed over the government affairs of Jingzhou to me, it will be easy to do, Yinping, this spring day is just right, why don't you accompany me to go for a walk?"

"Huh? Why are you so excited today? ”

"Life is not only about working all the time, but also about combining work and rest, if I die before I get out of the Han family, it will really make the hero cry."

Although the news that the Sun-Liu alliance was about to break down again was well known, this did not stop the people of Xiangyang from doing business in the slightest.

Zhao Hao and Guan Yinping each rode a donkey, leisurely admiring the fruits of Xiangyang's prosperity in the street market, this lively bazaar has a bit of magnanimity in later generations, Zhao Hao even saw a large number of Hu business activities in the crowd,

They used their lame Mandarin to sort piles of precious spices and sell them in the bazaar, adding to the excitement of the city.

"Where are you from?"

A Hu merchant was richly dressed, and his sleeves and turbans were studded with precious stones, but he did not have the temperament of an upstart.

Zhao Hao saw that although he was old, he could sit cross-legged on the ground, but his back was straight, and the scorching sun above his head did not shake at all, so he couldn't help but lean over and ask.

Seeing that Zhao Hao was talking extraordinary, Hu Shang also quickly sat up and said seriously in a very distinctive official dialect:

"Back to your nobles, I'm from Guishan.

We are walking the Silk Road, and we have specially brought you the best pepper in the world. ”

Guan Yinping Qi said: "Isn't that section of the road in Cao Wei's hands, you come from there, and you have to walk through Cao Wei's land, they will allow you to drive the car to pull so many goods to Xiangyang?" ”

The old man smiled gently, his eyes that seemed to have seen all the vicissitudes of life moved slightly, and he said with a smile: "The world is too big, and the world is constantly strife, but the life of a businessman always has to pass." ”

He was honest, and carefully explained to Zhao Hao that his large pile of pepper and raisins originally wanted to be sold in the world-famous Chang'an City, but Cao Wei's metropolitan governor Cao Zhen was using it as a base to fight a bloody battle with the Qiang-Hu coalition army, and the entire Chang'an City was slaughtered, and such an expensive thing naturally had no market.

This Hu man's brain is also bright, and he actually chose to go south from Chang'an, pass through Wuguan, and then transfer to Xiangyang to sell.

Although the journey was farther, it was nothing compared to the long journey from Kushan.

He said with a smile: "Before I came, I only heard that Xiangyang is very different from Chang'an, but I didn't expect it to be so prosperous.

I don't want to leave here, and when all these goods are sold, I will go to the county guard and get an errand, even if I have to sweep the streets for the rest of my life, I am willing. ”

Zhao Hao and Guan Yinping looked at each other and smiled, knowing that this old man probably saw that the two were nobles in the city, and deliberately opened his mouth to test it.

Guan Yinping said: "What's so good about Xiangyang, is it much better than your Guishuang?" ”

The old man waved his hand and said: "Guishan also has wealth, but the city in the world is as clean as Xiangyang, and I really have only seen it in my lifeβ€”β€”

There was no dung on the ground in this city, and even the dung of cattle and horses was swept up in time.

Oh, by the way, it's not uncommon for cats to catch mice, but it's only seen in the world that the court raises cats to catch mice like you. ”

A cloud of joy rose on his old face, his eyes blinked, and he said, "If I can meet the noble man who is called the Champion Marquis, I must express my praise to his face, and I hope to stay in his army and advise him." ”

"Hey, just now I said that you can sweep the streets, and now you say that you want to make suggestions, you can tell me, what are your outstanding skills, so that the champion Hou can use you."

The old man raised his eyebrows, and his sparse long beard shook excitedly.

"If the champion wants me, I will donate all these goods as military funds.

However, the champion Hou probably doesn't like this bit of pepper, if Xiao Lao'er sees it, he has to show his hands. ”

Zhao Hao smiled and said, "You might as well show one or two now." ”

The old man took out a roll of sheepskin from his arms, shook it boldly, puffed up his chest proudly and said: "I heard that the champion Hou Zhi is in the world, and the little old man has come all the way east, and the terroir, people, mountains, rivers, land, and specialties along the way are all familiar with his chest.

I heard that there was a champion Hou in the Han Dynasty who crisscrossed the Western Regions and sealed the wolf Juxu, if the champion Hou of Xiangyang also wanted to follow the sages, then the little old man would be able to use it! ”

The old man spoke humorously and kindly, and he seemed to be really capable, Zhao Hao nodded emphatically, and said: "Down there is the champion Hou Zhao Hao, who is rude." ”

The old man stroked his beard lightly, knowing that he had successfully passed the interview.

He got a lot of spices from the Western Regions and sold them all the way, originally heard that the Han family was in turmoil, and he didn't want to live here for a long time, but when he arrived in Xiangyang, he found that it was rich and boundless, and the merchants were not discriminated against at all.

Even the brother-in-law of the champion Hou is doing business with great fanfare, connecting the business to the height of elegance.

It's clean, it's rich, and the climate is pleasant, and this champion seems to be omnipotent, and he has almost the ability to do everything in the worldβ€”

Businessmen know how to grab the maximum benefits, compared to the benefits that can be obtained by following Zhao Hao, what are these peppers and curiosities?

He stroked his chest and bowed, "Your faithful servant Avanti is willing to follow the champion and never betray him. ”

Zhao Hao smiled, and then was stunned.

"What's your name?"

"Avanti." The old man repeated the words in a straight voice.

"What's wrong with Brother Zixuan?"

"No, the weather is so nice today."

Avanti's arms are thin, but his strength is infinite, he carried a basket of pepper onto the donkey cart, and he didn't shed a drop of sweat, Zhao Hao was amazed to see it, I don't know if the power of this product can be compared to the strange old man Yu Flip Bucket.

And the name, poof, is he serious......

Avanti rode on the donkey, it seemed that the whole person looked a lot more pleasing to the eye, Zhao Hao asked him how he passed the Wuguan, and he also truthfully replied that he bribed the guards of the Wuguan, and then passed.

"Champion Hou, Xia Guan knows that you have the idea of attacking Chang'an, if you can use me, I am willing to come forward for you to buy the general of the Wuguan guard......"

Zhao Hao was a little moved, he thought about it carefully, and he was a little moved in his heart.

"It's a pity that I didn't know you earlier......" Zhao Hao sighed, "It seems that I still have to go out for a walk when I have time." ”

If he had known Avanti earlier, his plan might have been to fight Chang'an now, but thinking that too big a step would cause many deployments and logistics to be unable to keep up, it was better to ignore it for the time being.

Guan Yinping whispered in Zhao Hao's ear: "Brother Zixuan, I don't think now is the time to attack Chang'an. ”

"Hmm, why?"

For military reasons and economic reasons, Zhao Hao thought a lot for Guan Yinping, but he didn't expect Guan Yinping to lower his voice and say: "Cao Zhen is now fighting with Qianghu, this is a national war, we can't help it, we must not delay at this time!" ”

Looking at Guan Yinping's serious and solemn appearance, Zhao Hao was a little stunned, but he immediately showed a sincere smile.

"You're right, but I was negligent."

……

In the middle of the vast mountains, an old, somewhat haggard old man was hunched on his back, also looking at a map.

Compared with Avanti's free-spiritedness, the old man's cloudy eyes were already a little confused, and he began to shed tears unconsciously when the wind blew.

Seeing him like this, the cronies next to him hurriedly said: "Hu Shuai, take a break, you look at this map every day, every day, you have long been familiar with it, why bother to read it now." ”

"You know what!" The old man said unhappily.

He rubbed his eyes vigorously and snorted weakly.

"General Zhao said that this map is the foundation of war, do you understand!

Don't think that you can be invincible in the world with just those few sets of guerrilla warfare methods, this map, this military discipline, what I say every day, you must carefully remember in mind! ”

The soldier smiled innocently: "Hu Shuai, we keep in mind what you said every day.

This big other landscape, we can point it out with our eyes closed, as for military discipline, hehe, although we are Shanyue, where can we rob those lonely and weak.

You said that we are Shanyue, not bandits, we all remember what you taught before! ”

The old man sighed softly and slowly stood up,

The climate in the mountains was damp and cold, and the old man's body was obviously not as good as in previous years, but he still had no idea of retreating.

Zhao Hao ignited a little flame in his heart, created a career little by little, and the idea of being recorded in the history books kept echoing in his heart.

When he was defeated by Sun Ce, he originally thought that he would be miserable in this life, but Zhao Hao told him that as long as he worked hard, maybe he would be able to become a hero of Zhongxing Dahan in the future.

In the past two years, he has been hiding in the mountains, and the troops have continuously absorbed the mountains from all over the country, and the scale has reached nearly 10,000.

Although there are still only three or two thousand elite soldiers, it is enough to attack Eastern Wu.

He listened to Zhao Hao's suggestion, did not play the banner of Yan Baihu, but called himself "the old man in the mountain", when Xin Bi visited, he also took the initiative to say his relationship with Zhao Hao, accepted Cao Wei's economic and weapon assistance, and constantly ravaged those poor generals of Eastern Wu.

"General Zhao has finally summoned me, finally summoned me!"

The cold wind rolled in the misty valley, blowing the old man's empty cuffs, and a cruel smile appeared on the old man's face, and the pair of eyes that had been cloudy suddenly shone brightly.

"Sons, we are going this time to fight with Cao Wei's most elite soldiers, are you afraid!"

The blood-boiling eyes seemed to ignite the valley, and behind Yan Hu, the scorching eyes of Shan Yue Erlang forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, facing the valley, like a wild wolf about to come out of the cage, letting out bursts of earth-shattering roars.

"Great Han warriors, how have you ever been afraid! Destroy the traitor and rejuvenate my man! ”
