Chapter 11: A Chance Encounter with a Forbidden
The ancients still believed in the metaphysics of fortune-telling, so when Su Xiu explained, everyone was not overly suspicious. The purpose of Su Xiu's trip to Yingchuan has been achieved, so he resigned to Pang Degong, preparing to go to Xuzhou to find Mi Zhu and prepare the start-up capital for his great cause.
Before leaving, Su Xiu told Xi Zhicai again that he must go to Nanyang to find Zhang Ji, and he must bring Xiao Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai deeply felt Su Xiu's attention, and after bidding farewell to Pang Degong, he took Guo Jia to Nanyang and embarked on the road to find Zhang Ji.
After Su Xiu left from Yingchuan Academy, passed Yucheng, and traveled eastward through Si Li, after more than half a month, Su Xiu finally entered the territory of Pei County, and then there were three or five days, and then he could enter Xuzhou Zhizhi Xiapi (Xuzhou Zhizhi was first Xiapi, and then Pengcheng), on this day, Su Xiu entered Pei County, and was about to find an inn to play the point, but he heard the sound of quarrels in the market, and under curiosity, Su Xiu leaned over to see what was going on. I saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man glaring at the five strong men opposite, and a thin little boy standing next to the young man. The little boy was unkempt, and he hid behind the young man with a timid face, and grabbed the young man's clothes tightly, on the other hand, although the young man faced the five strong men directly, he was not afraid at all, and shouted: "So you will not let go of this little brother no matter what?" ”
The five strong men on the opposite side laughed and said: "Little white face, you don't go to inquire, when did we break the promise of the five tigers of Pei County, today we said that we want to kill the little beggar, we will definitely kill him, even if you can protect him for a while, can you still protect him for a lifetime." Grandpa advises you to be less nosy so as not to get into trouble. ”
When the young man heard this, he was already bruised, and shouted: "Since I encountered this matter today, I will never allow you to oppress the good, and today I will get rid of you and other five tigers for the people of Pei County, and give justice to the villagers of Pei County." ”
After that, he picked up a bamboo pole from the bazaar, grabbed a spear flower in his hand, and stood up to stab the bearded man with teeth and claws. Su Xiu saw in the crowd that although the young man who claimed to be forbidden used an ordinary bamboo pole, he used authentic and superior marksmanship, although it was a little worse than his own Hundred Birds Chaofeng Gun, but it was also a rare good hand that Su Xiu had encountered since he went down the mountain. has this skill, and he just claimed to be Yu Ban, presumably this person is Yu Ban, one of the five good generals of Cao Ying, recorded in the history books.
Yu ban, the word is written, Taishan saws flat people, one of the five good generals under Cao Cao's account, good at training, originally Bao Xin's general, later Cao Cao, once in Zhang Xiu's rebellion to crusade against the Qingzhou soldiers who did not abide by military discipline, and at the same time to meet the enemy army and stick to the camp, so Cao Cao praised him can be compared with the ancient famous generals. However, in the battle of Xiangfan in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Yu Ban surrendered after losing to Guan Yu, resulting in the loss of the late festival. After Guan Yu was defeated, Yu Ban was released from Jingzhou to Wu. In the second year of the early Huang dynasty (221 AD), Sun Quan was repatriated to return to Wei, and died in the same year.
Looking back at the so-called Peixian Five Tigers, they are actually typical township bullies, with a little bit of skill, but they are not even at the level of third-rate generals, but these people are good at cooperating, and they look a bit like the number of roads in the barracks. Two of the five people blocked Yu Ban's bamboo pole, and the other three attacked Yu Ban's head, chest and feet respectively, although they didn't kill Yu Ban, but Yu Ban couldn't take advantage of it for a while.
Su Xiu saw that Yu Ban couldn't let go of his hands and feet, so he also jumped into the battle circle and restrained one of the people who blocked the forbidden bamboo pole with his bare hands. The five tigers saw that one more person jumped out, disrupting the cooperation between the five people, reducing the pressure on Yu Ban, and making the five people suddenly fall into a disadvantage.
Originally, they were not masters, but they had been soldiers together before, and they had learned some fighting skills, because their hands and feet were not very clean and they were expelled from the army.
Su Xiu saw that the five tigers scattered in a hurry, and he didn't chase after him, he turned to the forbidden fist and said: "Brother Tai is very skilled, in the next Su Xiu, the word Pingdi, it is better to meet by chance, if you don't mind, how many drinks will you have together?" ”
"Yu Ban, the words are written, thank you Brother Su for your help, otherwise it will take some effort to send them away." Yu Ban saw that Su Xiuwen was polite, and just made a righteous move, so he reported to his home.
"However, can Brother Su bring this little brother, I'm afraid that those ruffians just now will come to trouble him again."
"It's okay, Brother Wen Ze didn't say that I would also call the little brother together." The three of them entered the inn and ordered some wine and food, originally Su Xiu was going to take out the wine he brewed himself, but he only brewed more than ten pots at that time, and before leaving, he was asked to go to ten pots, and on the way, he found a restaurant to change a little coiling, and now he has a pot of wine on his body, and he has to use it as a sample, so he didn't take it out.
During the banquet, Su Xiu learned from the conversation that Yu Ban had come to Pei County to visit friends, passing by the bazaar, and saw the five tigers bullying people, and the surrounding villagers dared not speak out about it, so Yu Ban was angry and took action to help the young man. Su Xiu also felt helpless about this, no matter in which era, there are indispensable people who deceive the good and fear the evil, speaking of which Pei County is already good, firstly, the whole Xuzhou is currently stable, and secondly, Xuzhou is already rich, and the people barely have surplus food at home, and Pei County is adjacent to Pengcheng, the seat of governance in Xuzhou a few years later, and it is not too bad.
Su Xiu then asked the little boy about his life experience, and learned that the little boy's name was Wang Hai, a native of Qingzhou, only because of the famine in his hometown, he had to flee here, and his parents also died on the way to escape, so he asked Wang Hai: "Are you willing to follow me, although you can't let you eat well, but it's okay to eat enough." ”
When Wang Hai heard this, he didn't say a word, and bowed: "Yes, yes, Engong is already grateful to Dade if he can take me in, I don't expect much good, I can eat two wowotou a day and be content." ”
Su Xiu helped Wang Hai up, relieved a few words, and chatted with Yu Ban about the situation in Taishan County. From Yu Ban's mouth, Su Xiu learned that the current situation in Taishan County is not very clear, Taishan County is greedy for money and lustful, and the county soldiers are deserted in military discipline, plus Taishan County itself is at the junction of Qingxu and Xu, and the surrounding bandits are frequent, the county soldiers dare not send troops, and the two state pastors have not assigned capable officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits in person, resulting in the people of Taishan County being disturbed and miserable. This time, Yu Ban came to Pei County to discuss with his friends to see if there was a way to help him meet Xuzhou Mu and ask for troops to suppress the bandits.
Su Xiu listened, his heart was mixed, happy that Taishan County is now suffering from internal and external troubles, as long as it can be solved, he will basically be stable based on Taishan County, and the people of Taishan are indeed in dire straits now, and they are miserable. So Su Xiu said to the ban: "Brother Wen Ze asked for his life for the people, Ping Di deeply admired, believe me, the situation in Taishan County will improve in less than half a year." ”
Yu Ban was stunned for a moment, he didn't know why Su Xiu was so sure, and after thinking about it, maybe he was comforting himself, and he didn't say much, just drinking and drinking, Su Xiu saw this, and he didn't break it, after all, his current plan was too bold, and there were many people in the inn, so it was inconvenient to reveal too much, just tell Yu Ban to go home and wait.
The next day, Su Xiu took Wang Hai to bid farewell to Yu Ban and rushed to Xiapi, he came to Xuzhou for only one purpose - the Mi family in the East China Sea. Mi family in the East China Sea, a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, the current head of the family Mi Zhu is the family to develop and grow, historical data say that its diners are more than 10,000, assets of hundreds of millions, once welcomed Liu Bei to live in Xuzhou, and then married his sister to Liu Bei, it can be said that there is no Mi family, Liu Bei will never be so easy to gain a foothold in Xuzhou.
It is precisely because the Mi family has a huge business network that Su Xiu is ready to discuss cooperation with the Mi family. Of course, it is not only the Mi family that has a business network, but the Jizhou Zhen family also owns it, but Su Xiu decided to put his current foundation in Mount Tai, so the Mi family is of course the first choice.
Of course, although the Mi family started in Donghai County, it does not mean that the Mi family is in the East China Sea, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Mi Zhen The three brothers and sisters have actually lived in Xiapi a long time ago, after all, Xiapi is a state governing office, whether it is business opportunities or political investment, there will be a lot more than Donghai. Mi Zhu through the ancestors of the business, although in Xuzhou is not famous, but the influence is not lost to the Chen family (that is, Chen Gui Chen Deng's Chen family), and even radiated to Yuzhou, Sili, Yangzhou, Qingzhou, it can be said that in the Central Plains and the surrounding areas, Mi family's every move will greatly affect the economy and people's livelihood, at that time it can be regarded as an achievement that the predecessors did not do, after all, the status of ancient merchants is quite low. Therefore, Su Xiu's choice of finding the Mi family as the early cooperation object was extremely beneficial to his development before the division of the heroes.
Of course, as such a huge business empire, it is not just a matter of pulling a person on the street to cooperate, and if the family background, status, and identity are not enough, it is possible that you will be blasted out without even entering the door, which is like the marriage in ancient times. However, Su Xiu is extremely confident that he can facilitate this cooperation, and the reason is that he has the knowledge and technology that is nearly 2,000 years ahead of this era, not to mention that he is also a multinational president who has created a business empire, and he is also extremely proficient in business operations.
