Chapter Ninety-Eight: Negotiation

In early September, an attack in Anlu, Xiaochang, and Yongyang subsided one after another, and the big game of chess planned by the Yuzhou Governor's Office made Anzhou vomit blood three liters but did not hurt the muscles and bones, and the confrontation between the two sides across Tongbai Mountain was still the same.

An Lu, a carriage slowly drove towards the Xiyang County Mansion surrounded by guards, and finally stopped at the gate of the Angu County Mansion next door, and the servant who had been waiting for a long time carefully lifted down a man with gauze on his head and a wooden board in his left arm.

"Be careful, don't touch your arm." Yu Wenwen told on the side that this man was his father-in-law, Chi Shun, the public lieutenant of Angu County, and his wife Wang was also following worriedly.

A few days ago, as the commander of the Anzhou East Route Army, Wei Chishun was attacked when he passed through Wuyang Pass, and was carried down the slope by the assassin who suddenly attacked and fell into the valley.

The life was saved, but the sin was not less, Wei Chishun's left arm was fractured, there were many contusions all over the body, the nose was blue and the face was swollen, and after the military doctor had treated the wound, the subordinates did not dare to delay and quickly sent him back to Anlu, and the army was temporarily led by the deputy marshal, fortunately, Wuyang Pass was not far from Anlu, and the road was easy to walk, so it only took three days to return to Fuzhong.

"I didn't expect Pingyang to be a poisonous bait." Wei Chishun sighed, he had learned what happened in Anlu, Xiaochang, and Yongyang a few days ago, when he and a group of generals saw that there was a flaw in Pingyang City, they attacked and moved the people to Anzhou, but they fell into the strategy of the Yuzhou army, and if the other party succeeded, the situation would really be reversed.

Yu Wenwen comforted and said that everyone didn't want this kind of thing to happen, and now that the situation has been decided, the other party can't make any more waves, just as the so-called broken muscles and bones for a hundred days, the chief manager Sima who picked up a life, is afraid that he will have to recuperate at home for three months.

"My father-in-law relaxed and recuperated. After a while, Sanniang and Thorn Lang will come to see you. ”

Not long ago, Wei Chi Chifan gave birth to a son-in-law for Yu Wenwen. Because he experienced a difficult birth, it was tricky, so the little guy's nickname was Thorn Lang. And Yang Lihua's eldest son who gave birth to him is now three months old, and when he is about to get his name right, Yu Wenwen has a headache when he turns the book for this matter.

"The son-in-law has instructed Steward Li to withdraw any medicinal materials if you need them here." Yuwen Wen and his mother-in-law Wang handed over the bottom, and the father-in-law's family's original property in Chang'an was swept away, and there was nothing to make a living in Anlu, and it was difficult to maintain such a large mansion with the help of Sima, who was the chief manager, so the daily expenses in the Angu County Mansion were borne by him, the son-in-law.

Before going out, Yuwen Wen specially explained that Fu Youcai, the deputy leader of the guards who was following him, everything was as usual, and the guards of the mansion here should also be careful, the Angu County Mansion was next door to Yuwen Wen's mansion, and the servants in the mansion were also transferred from him, so even if Wei Chishun was unable to move now, he didn't have to worry about anyone bullying Wang and Yu Chi Mingyue.

"At noon today, my father is meeting guests outside. Tell the house that you don't need to stay for lunch. ”……

In the private room of a wine shop, Xu Shao and Hao Wubo were drinking tea, and the footsteps from time to time outside made the two of them turn their heads to look at the door frequently.

"Heizong, did you just say that the prince of Xiyang County also drinks tea?" Hao Wubo asked, today Xu Shao was the middleman to introduce him to meet with Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County to discuss important matters, because the two of them had a house in Anlu last night, so they would not be able to catch up today.

"Indeed, when I was a guest at the county mansion, the servants served tea to the guests."

"Never thought that the northerners were not afraid of this water misfortune?"

Water refers to drinking tea, and the wind of drinking tea has gradually become popular since the Wei and Jin dynasties, but the attitude of the southerners and northerners towards it is very different: the southerners drink tea, and the northerners drink cheese. With the change of the political situation, many southerners lived in the Northern Dynasties, and the northerners were not very comfortable with drinking tea, so they often called drinking tea 'water misfortune'.

Even in the Southern Dynasties, when the style of tea drinking was not yet prevalent, many people were quite resistant to drinking tea. When the Jin Dynasty Situ Wang Meng was good at drinking tea, whenever someone came to the mansion as a guest, he must let the other party drink, and the scholars and doctors were very embarrassed to go to the Wang Situ Mansion as a guest, and whenever they wanted to go, they would say that there would be a 'water misfortune' today.

"Chengye, the prince of Xiyang County seems to be quite useful for drinking tea, and I want to taste a lot of good tea in Chang'an." Xu Shao said uncertainly, thought about it and added: "If you visit the house in the future, you can use the tea cake as a gift." ”

The two were talking, and there was a sound of talking outside the door, and they heard the waiter outside greeting the 'county prince' The two hurriedly got up to greet each other, and after the door opened, Yuwen Wen walked in with a fan: "Sin, sin, let the two of you wait for a long time." ”

After the two sides sat down and exchanged a few polite words, they immediately turned to the topic to discuss the order of the glass mirror, and after the Yuzhou army attack was over, Hao Wubo returned home to discuss with his father and decided to seize the opportunity sent by Xu Shao to the door: Gongyu Wenwen in Xiyang County has a glass mirror in the Western Regions, and the supply is sufficient and the price is fair.

After the rebellion of Hou Jing, the internal war of Liang Guozong attracted the Western Wei soldiers to the south, Jiangling fell, and the Anlu area was based on the Western Wei, so Hao Podi became an official of the Western Wei Dynasty - later the Northern Zhou.

The Hao family still has many relatives and friends in the Southern Dynasty, so there are still some ways to do business, if you can buy goods at a low price in Xiyang County, and when you buy goods to Jiangnan, it will be thousands of profits.

Yu Wenwen was a little surprised that Xu Shao brought in customers so quickly, since the war in June, his income has declined a little, mainly because Wang Yue, who originally contracted the sales of Liulijing Jiangnan, had an accident, and now after more than three months, seeing more and more losses, he can't help but get anxious.

Several cooperative merchants in Anlu before were wealthy businessmen, and these old foxes saw that Yuwenwen's sales in Jiangnan seemed to be cut off, and they began to pretend to be crazy and stupid to reduce purchases and try to bargain, their reason is very simple: Anzhou is now fighting with the imperial court and the trade route is cut off, this glass mirror is not easy to sell.

The glass mirror is not bad, it does not occupy space, and it is not worried about selling, so no one believes this kind of nonsense, but Yuwenwen is helpless, he has no business route of his own, he can only watch the buyers come together to reduce the price, and after returning to Anlu from Jiangling, he thought that Xu Shao's "circle of friends" is very wide, so it is better to let it develop offline, so he promised a "commission" to lure him to benefit.

Everyone is an acquaintance to talk about money, "hurt and angry", so after the initial determination of the intention of cooperation, it will be handed over to their respective shopkeepers to discuss in detail, Yuwenwen will also bring Wang Yue to the banquet this time, that is, let him be fully responsible for related matters, and fight wits and courage with all kinds of profiteers, Hao Wubo brought the shopkeeper is also a veteran, and after the two sides met, they began to "talk in detail" in the private room next door.

"I heard that Heizong said that when Xu Zhijun was assassinated and Xiaochang was attacked a few days ago, Hao Langjun was a guest in the mansion and contributed a lot to quelling the chaos?" Yu Wenwen began to talk about other topics, Hao Wubo smiled and said that the small skills of carving insects are not enough, the Hao family and the Xu family are considered world friends, so it is appropriate to draw a knife to help.

'Good friends, for a lifetime. Yu Wenwen thought so in his heart, he had no impression of Hao Wubo in history, but Yang Jike, another 'thousand-year-old demon', knew the inside story: In the past, Xu Shao and Hao Wubo were sons and daughters.

"Since it's a friend of Heizong, then Bengong will say it directly" Yu Wenwen directly cut to the topic, he will go to Bazhou to take up the post of assassin in the future, but because of the 'notoriety', "no one is willing to help", so I want to ask Hao Wubo if he is interested in becoming a hero.

Uncle Hao Wu had been reminded by Xu Shao in advance, this Xiyang County Duke often spoke out of tune, so he was not surprised that the other party was 'infamous', and as for what was the assassin's history, 'no one is willing to help' This kind of thing is even more ridiculous.

He also politely said frankly that he had no problem, but he had to get the consent of his father, Xu Shao had also told him in advance about this matter, so there was nothing to be surprised about, this Erlang Jun of the Yuwen family was going to Bazhou to be an assassin, and the matter was no longer a secret in the upper circles of Anzhou, as long as the head of Yuwen opened his mouth, everyone was eager to let their family members follow to 'help', where did 'no one want to help'.

Just the head of Yuwen in Bazhou Prefecture in advance of the construction of Xiyang City, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to the appointment of his second son, Yuezhou's Xu Zhijun is scheming, taking advantage of the bet between his son Xu Shao and Yuwen Wen, he directly climbed up to take the lead, and others can't find a chance to find it, because this Xiyang County prince has strange words and deeds, which makes people uncomfortable.

"My father is a troublemaker, so when I arrived in Bazhou, I said that I couldn't jump chickens and dogs." Yu Wenwen smiled slightly, he didn't want people to misunderstand that he was just going to be a state official, so he would let people follow him to enjoy his qualifications and brush up his qualifications, if any local snake dared to mess around, he really wanted to 'pull out his knife and slash indiscriminately, and blood flowed into a river'.

"Those who assassinate history, who are in charge of the military and political power of a state, if there are powerful and powerful people who dare to violate the law and discipline, they will naturally be punished by the canon." Hao Wu Bo talked eloquently, his father is a state assassin, so he is familiar with the intrigue between state officials and local powerful and big households.

If the assassin can't suppress the head snake, it will be hollowed out, but being too strong is likely to provoke a civil uprising - naturally it is manipulated by the head snakes, if the family can give strong support, the assassin history will take the army to rule all kinds of civil uprisings, because at that time, the state and county soldiers are likely to slack off and watch jokes.

Hao Wubo knew that the soldier in front of him, who had specially trained nearly 3,000 soldiers, had already seen blood after the great battle since June, and with these 3,000 people to deter, I was afraid that none of the ground snakes dared to find trouble.

Seeing that this Hao Langjun did not refuse on the spot, Yu Wenwen was quite happy in his heart, he went to Bazhou to prepare to do something, so there was a lack of reliable adjutants, Xu Shao naturally had no opinion, and when he asked if there were any good candidates, the other party directly reported the name of his friend Hao Wubo.

These two people are the third generation of officials, although they are just adults, but if they are out of office, the family will definitely send people to assist, so it is not easy to get started quickly, and it is not easy to be deceived by the officials.

"My father is leading the troops in Jingzhou and has no time to take care of him, so I don't know when my father will take office, and I think there will be a result at the end of the next year." Yu Wenwen continued to confess, everyone is their own people, so what should be explained must be said to avoid misunderstanding, the three of them talked very happily, and after a while, the shopkeepers on both sides negotiated the sale and signed the contract, and today's banquet is a great joy.

Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, Yu Wenwen asked Xu Shao in a low voice whether he wanted cash or bargain for the commission, and seeing that the other party was a little embarrassed to say that he wanted cash Yu Wenwen raised his eyebrows: "Can your little broken carriage pull a thousand times?"
