Zhang Yuan said goodbye to the governor with trepidation, followed Qian Zan to draw it, and the two went straight to the commander's yamen to receive the materials and equipment they deserved.

On the way, Zhang Yuan knew that this Qian Zhongjun was a celebrity next to the governor and governor, so he tried his best to stammer, which was a pile of good words and high hats to send over, of course, he had to come up with benefits, and a few small yellow croaker.

The little yellow croaker was in his hand, Qian Zhongjun weighed it, but he didn't put it in his sleeve, but just played with it in his hand, Zhang Yuan just smiled and waited to speak.

That Qian Zhongjun also reciprocated, and told Zhang Yuan in detail about the thieves and bandits in Fuxian and its surroundings that he knew, and the two of them talked while walking, but Qian Tong definitely said that there was no nutrition, and Zhang Yuan definitely listened to it according to the lack of nutrition.

Qian Tong finally stood down on a street corner and suddenly said solemnly to Zhang Yuan; "What I said just now is irrelevant, but now I give you the things in my heart, I don't know if Lord Zhang can listen to it?"

Zhang Yuan immediately stood still, gave Lord Qian a deep salute, and said cautiously and respectfully: "My lord, everything is for me, and I will obey everything here." As he said this, he looked around carefully and glanced at his brother who was following closely behind him.

The brothers behind him all understood, and they hurriedly took a few steps back, but they didn't retreat much, just at a guarded distance,

Qian Tong didn't think it was too much, and said with a smile in his hand: "Lord Zhang is going to lead an army alone, Lord Zhang must remember, that Guo Tianxing is not terrible, he is just a rude man, what is terrible is that King Chuang, that person is full of wisdom and deep in the way of leading troops, that Guo Tianxing has developed from a small cottage of only a few thousand people to such a scale today, it is all the credit of this Lu Shi, the last battle of Mizhi, originally we were all organs to calculate their own schemes, whether it is our officers and soldiers, or the cunning non-sticky mud, They all thought that they would definitely win, but in the end they all entered the urn of the Lu Shi, and they were all played with by him between applause, and finally let him take the county seat almost bloodlessly, not sticky mud thinks that he is the first in wisdom, and he is scheming, but he also eats people's foot washing water, and makes a wedding dress for him in vain. Whenever he thinks of the battle of Mizhi that day, Qian Tong is deeply annoyed, but he also deeply admires Lu Shizai in his heart.

For this opponent, Qian Tong has a feeling of sympathy.

Qian Tong stood on the corner of the street, and told Zhang Yuan about the experience before and after the first battle of Mizhi, focusing on Lu Shiqi, and hoped that Zhang Yuan would not be too badly defeated in the upcoming war.

"What is even more terrifying about this person is the various actions and measures later, when he entered the city, he first ordered people to shout no looting and no killing, which gave those people and rich families an image of a righteous teacher, and even united several poles to eliminate a firefight, and won a unique victory in this dazzling war."

"It seems that this Lu Shi is indeed very difficult." Zhang Yuan couldn't help but worry.

"It's just a little stretch of his hand, and the rest is even more overwhelming." Qian Tong put his hands behind his back and continued to explain to Zhang Yuan the course of the battle in the street corner.

"After Lu Shi saved those poles, he returned to the cottage and came up with a set of unheard-of methods for training the army, turning the small cottage that was originally a rabble into a strong army, and he had that broad mind, and he reused the thieves who joined later, so that the upper and lower levels could return to their hearts."

"I've heard about this, and I thought that they would come from all over the world, and there would definitely be factional disputes, but in the end, there was no disagreement, which was really beyond our expectations."

Infighting, in their opinion, should be a commonplace thing, in this Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of the founding of the country, there will be endless fighting, which battle is not blood splashing, you live or die? How many regimes, how many groups are dying not from the outside, but from within? But in this small Woniu Mountain, everyone thought that there was already a faction, but unexpectedly this situation did not appear, it seems that Lu Shi's methods are really wonderful.

"The most important thing, and the most unexpected thing for us, is that this Lu Shi trained a strong army not to be the king and hegemon in the local area, but to go south to Weinan Guanzhong, which is very unexpected to us." When Qian Tong said this, it was not a lamentation, but a kind of leisurely fascination.

"yes." Zhang Yuan also sighed, although he is a businessman, but Weinan Guanzhong is the foundation of the emperors of the past dynasties, this common sense is still there, as long as he occupies the thousands of miles of fertile field, it is no longer the ambition that a small pole can have, "It seems that this Lu Shi's plan is very big, it is not a rabble at all, and it is not comparable to the rat-eyed boy." ”

"Yes, his southward movement caught me off guard, and I had to rush into battle, and in the end, although he used all kinds of means and schemes, in Yanchuan, he still let him stand out from the encirclement, which is really a legacy of raising tigers." Qian Tong couldn't help but slam his fist against the wall, with a look of remorse on his face.

Zhang Yuan also smashed his hands and sighed.

If it weren't for Lu Shi's cunning, his family revenge would have been avenged long ago, so why bother with being so difficult now?

"What's even more terrifying is that as soon as he Lu Shi arrived in Fu County, not only did he not plunder Fu County, which was almost an empty city, but used silver money to buy materials in the hands of merchants on a large scale, so that he first won the favor and secret support of the people and merchants, and then the official army encircled and blocked it, and he couldn't take care of those unscrupulous merchants and his material supplies." Speaking of which, I couldn't help but look at the embarrassed Zhang Yuan.

In fact, Zhang Yuan also has a lot of shops in Fuxian County and the surrounding areas, and he has not lost selling materials to the thieves, and he has made a lot of silver during the process, and the money is also clear, and now, he also despises this businessman in his heart, doesn't he know that selling materials to the thieves for one or two pieces of silver is equivalent to setting up a heavy obstacle for himself to suppress the bandits?

But the embarrassed Zhang Yuan secretly said in his heart: "If I don't sell the materials of the thieves, will it stop other businessmen from buying them?" I sold him a tael of silver, not only weakened the financial resources of the thief, but recruited an additional villager in two layers of profits more than others, so in this way, it is to use the thief's financial resources to enhance the power of encircling and suppressing the thief, which is more cost-effective to fall to the ground? That's a matter of opinion.

Looking at Zhang Yuan's embarrassment and disapproval, Qian Tong could only continue: "The most terrible thing and the one who can see Lu Shi's ambition the most is not that he is known as King Chuang. ”

"Isn't claiming to be the king without permission just being anti-hearted? It's not a big deal. Zhang Yuan asked confusedly.

From the perspective of a businessman who is still a businessman, being the king is the real rebel, and everything else is a small fight.

Qian Tong laughed, and was not surprised by such a shallow view, "His ambition is that in this rich county, to start construction, a person who buys people's hearts with rent and interest reduction, a thief who can tolerate the landlord and gain support, and a thief who puts grain everywhere to gather the people, is that still a thief?" Or is that still a thief who is willing to be a pole? Zhang Yuan asked this question, and at the same time seemed to be asking himself.

Zhang Yuan was silent, yes, isn't such a thief doing what those heroic emperors who rose in Longmu did? Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a chill in my heart.

"I thought about it from the beginning when I was quieter in the night, these are all things that Lu Shi has already calculated, and they are not bad at interlocking, don't you say it's terrible?"

That Zhang Yuan also gasped when he heard that Qian Zhongjun, one of the parties involved, analyzed him, and couldn't help but feel worried. But when he heard that Qian Zanhua, he suddenly changed his words and laughed; "Forgive that Lu Shi has made a lot of calculations but missed one thing, if it weren't for this one thing, then that Black Tiger Village is still at ease, and when he develops for a while, with his Lu Shi's ability to train soldiers, and the means to buy people's hearts, it will really become a big disaster for the government and the court."

"Since this Lu Shi has the power to calculate everything, why hasn't he calculated?" Zhang Yuan asked seductively.

"Originally, he was told to calculate everything, but he didn't calculate that there is one more variable in this ring, that is, you Zhang Yuan Zhang Zhiguang."

"Me?" Zhang Yuan pointed to Zhongjun's nose in confusion, not knowing where to start.

"Yes, it's you, if it weren't for you, the enemy who killed his father and son, then he Lu Shi would really have to develop happily for a few years. At that time, there will really be no one in the officialdom of Shaanxi who can do anything with him. Hahaha, this is called heaven is not as good as people. ”

Zhang Yuan suddenly realized, indeed, if it weren't for Zhang Yuan's considerable family resources, and the Black Tiger Village killed his old father and young son for the original grain and grass training, how could these people go to the family and donate, and they didn't want to do it in peacetime? really let the damn Lu Shishu miss this change in himself. Thinking of this, I threw myself to the ground with the five bodies that Qian Zan painted Ji Zhi admired. At that moment, he took out five yellow croakers, and without frowning, he stuffed them into his hand and said; "Zhang is avenging his family, but also for the emperor's loyalty, he broke the family and organized the township to suppress the thieves, and he also hopes to make a contribution to the thieves. Once the thieves and thieves are eliminated, the property and credit of the cottage will be divided equally with Mr. ”

Qian Zhongjun stared at Zhang Yuan with his eyes for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing. Then stuffed the little yellow croaker back into Zhang Yuan's hand, Zhang Yuan looked at Qian Zhongjun who was laughing inexplicably, and he didn't know why.

"Although this money is good, it does not necessarily mean that Qian has the life to spend it, and although this military merit is great, this money may not be able to afford it."

"Why does Mr. Qian say that?" Zhang Yuan asked confusedly.

"Hahaha, so that Lord Zhang knows, where is there still military merit in this inevitable defeat? What other money is there to divide the profits? ”

Zhang Yuan was even more surprised when he heard this, if it weren't for the wisdom and scheming revealed by Qian Zhongjun's various words before, he really began to suspect that Qian Zhongjun was making a big fuss, and he was busy asking Zou Mei for advice.

That Qian Zan saw Zhang Yuan's sincerity, and looked at him for a long time before he sighed; "For the sake of Lord Zhang's sincerity, I will dissect it and listen to it with you." After that, he pulled Zhang Yuan into the corner of the wall, and after glancing around, Zhang Yuan understood, and hurriedly waved his hand to send away the nephew who followed him unwillingly.

When those nephews went away and saw no one around, Qian Tongcai said solemnly; "Actually, I said this because I am also responsible, I hope that Lord Zhang will not spread it."

"Sir, don't worry, no third person will know about it." There is still this duty of a businessman.

"Well, I trust you and listen to you, in fact, there is one more thing that makes me know that this Lu Shizhi is not small."
