Su Shuang was about to introduce Guo Bin to everyone, but someone below suddenly exclaimed: "Oops! Isn't this the Marquis of Yangzhai County? ”

Suddenly, there was a mess below.

"Where? Where is it? ”

"It seems to be the one sitting on the throne!"

"I heard that the Hou of Yangzhai County is more than a long man, with big shoulders and a round waist, amazing divine power, and strong martial arts. I think that when the Yellow Turban Thieves were eliminated outside the Changshe City, he dared to rush into the camp of the 200,000 Yellow Turban Thieves with a few people, and beat the 200,000 Yellow Turban Thieves outside the Changshe City to the ground. ”

"I also heard that my cousin served under the Huangfu Hussar Tent at the beginning, but he told me that even the Huangfu Hussar praised the Yang Zhai County Hou Yongwu!"

"Yang Zhai County Hou is such a heroic figure, where can it be this son-in-law in front of him? Don't you make fun of me! ”

In several battles to exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves, Guo Bin led his 700 troops to fight in the south and the north, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats. Whether it is the twenty-mile joint venture of the Yellow Turban Thieves or the main force of the Yellow Turban Sect alone, the wisdom and courage of them are all amazing, and they have even been compiled into dramas and praised by others.

No matter what era it is, merchants are the most well-informed group, how can they not know that the real masters of the three cities outside the Saiwai are the current Yangzhai County Marquis, Yingchuan Taishou Guo Bin? For this world-famous city lord, everyone here has naturally heard of the name for a long time, and it is like thunder.

Although Guo Bin is now sitting on the main seat, he can clearly hear his keen six senses, that is, the whispers of everyone at the table at the entrance of the courtyard more than ten meters away. When he heard that someone said that he was "more than a foot long" and "big shoulders and round waist", he couldn't help but secretly wipe his sweat.

At that moment, he stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, under Guo Bin, he is the lord of the three cities outside the Saiwai. The three cities outside the city are more than one, thanks to your support. Guo had long wanted to meet with everyone, but he had been unable to do so, which could be regarded as rudeness. So now prepare a thin wine and talk about gratitude. The voice was slow and casual, and although it was not very loud, everyone listened to it as if they were talking in their ears, and every word and note could be heard clearly. When he was done, the buzzing echo could still be heard in the small courtyard.

Everyone didn't understand martial arts, they only felt novel, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the side were secretly frightened.

Guan Yu also saw the shock in Zhang Fei's eyes, and said secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect that the lord's crane opera has been practiced to such an extent, and the sound and distance require extremely profound internal skills, which is naturally extremely difficult." However, to control the sound in the fighting room without leaking it, all that is required is the skill and proficiency of internal control. It seems that Zhang Jiao's dragon descending palm technique has an extraordinary effect on the practice of internal strength and the control of delicacy. ”

However, although the business elites in the field did not understand martial arts, their whispers were always suppressed.

Seeing that the scene was suppressed, Guo Bin nodded with great satisfaction, and said straight to the point: "In the middle of last night, a sentinel reported that it was Xianbei Dashan Yu Helian, who colluded with more than 30 Xianbei tribes of all sizes, and gathered nearly 50,000 troops, known as 150,000, to attack the three cities outside our Saiwai. Speaking of this, Guo Bin glanced down and stopped.

At this time, the pan is fried below. An army of 50,000, known as 150,000, attacked the three cities outside the Saiwai that had just been built, isn't this just like playing? In the eyes of Xianbei people who have never seen the world, it may be called the high and deep of the city, but in the eyes of the well-informed business elites, the height of the wall of this small city is almost not even that of a county in the Central Plains!

The Xianbei people want to enter the Great Wall every year to fight the autumn wind, and how many cities and counties with high and deep pools have been destroyed in their hands? At the beginning, the Xianbei people colluded with the Southern Xiongnu and Wuhuan together, and divided into several large armies to enter the fortress together, or five or six thousand horsemen, or three or four thousand horsemen, a total of only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and entered the nine counties along the border, which made the Han Dynasty restless.

Now He Lian led his 50,000 elite iron cavalry to come, which echoed each other and communicated more closely than the original Xianbei people, Huns and Wuhuan people, and its equipment was definitely far more than that of the newly started sandalwood acacia. And although Helian is notoriously greedy and lustful, and even split the Xianbei departments because of this, his prestige in the headquarters is not bad. In other words, at this time, the enemies faced by the three cities outside the Saiwai were more numerous than those scattered in the counties along the border, and their elite and organizational capabilities were far surpassed.

And what about the three outer cities? It has only been established for less than two years, the city is not high, the pond is not deep, the grain and grass in the city may be sufficient, and the ordnance is far from the border county towns that prevent autumn every year. Moreover, the city is full of Guo Bin's private soldiers, and the overall strength of these troops may catch up with the official army led by the fierce generals of the DPRK and China? There are hundreds of elite parts, but there are never too many of them.

Could it be that there are not enough soldiers to defend the city, and this Guo Bin wants to use our strength to defend the city? Thinking about it, it is really possible, from the Central Plains to the outside of the Saiwai, with the current world full of thieves, who is not allowed to go out with a few guards? Who dares to transport goods to the three cities outside the Saiwai, which one must not have a few hundred guards? If the Central Plains wealthy merchants in the city take out all the guards under their hands, it would be okay to gather 30,000 or 20,000 people. In addition, all kinds of materials in the warehouses in the city, if Guo Bin forcibly requisitioned them all in an emergency, it is not impossible to reward the soldiers who defend the city.

However, Guo Bin's roots are in the Central Plains after all, and he is now forcibly requisitioning the goods of the Central Plains merchants, and he will definitely make up for them in the future, otherwise he will be the enemy of the major wealthy families in the Central Plains. At this time, who dares to form a mortal enmity with so many wealthy families? However, it is the materials of the Xianbei tribes outside the Saiwai, and Guo Bin will not come to Heng if he wants to. He built these three cities just to do business with the Xianbei people, if the Xianbei people's materials were swallowed up, then they had to raise troops to attack? When the time comes, he will become a faithless person who everyone shouts and beats on the grassland, who will still come to do business?

After figuring out this section, the wealthy businessmen breathed a sigh of relief. Today, however, the situation is critical. If the three cities outside the fortress are broken by the Xianbei people, with the barbarism of the Xianbei people and the greed of Helian, I am afraid that the city will be looted.

Just when everyone was hesitating, Guo Bin spoke: "Now the three cities outside the city are in danger, I have dealings with all the clans, I can't bear to suffer from the pond fish, if you want to leave, Guo someone will not say a word, immediately open the city to send you off, and will not stop you!" ”

However, although there were many restless expressions on everyone's faces, not one of them moved their buttocks. There were a few who couldn't make up their minds, and when they saw that everyone didn't move, they pressed down.

Seeing this, Guo Bin was secretly happy in his heart: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being a businessman, it seems that smart people still account for the majority." ”

In fact, everyone's reaction now has long been in Guo Bin and Xi Zhicai. The reason why none of these business elites in the Central Plains are facing such a situation is that they feel absolutely safe in the three cities outside the Saiwai, nor that they are not afraid of the Xianbei people breaking through the city, nor is it that Fulong Villa has in-depth business contacts with their respective families, and their face is so big that they can buy and sell for millions of dollars. The reason why they are not restless, and why things are so calm so far, naturally has a deeper reason in private.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Guan Yu remembered everyone's discussion last night.

Guan Yu did not agree with informing the merchants in the city of the truth, he basically agreed with Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, that is, he was afraid that if the facts were told, the people in the city would be unstable. Businessmen are originally more interested in profit than righteousness, and if they tell the truth, won't it immediately lead to chaos? But Xi Zhicai's analysis dispelled everyone's concerns.

Xi Zhicai said: "Outside the Great Wall, the three cities outside the Saiwai are an enclave. The Central Plains trading caravans relied on their families in the Central Plains, and their families mostly had business dealings with Fulong Villa, so they came to the outside of the Saiwai and relied on the lord everywhere once they had something. ”

Seeing that everyone listened carefully, Xi Zhicai nodded slightly and continued: "During the year of the lord, he made a special honor in the battle to extinguish the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army in the north and south, and the 700 troops under his command fought in the south and the north, which was also famous in the sea. Besides, the part of my Fulong Villa is well-equipped and brave in battle, and it is famous all over the world. If the lord could personally tell this businessman, the effect would be completely different. ”

When everyone heard this, they all secretly agreed.

Only listening to Xi Zhicai continued: "Besides, the Xianbei people are fast, on the grassland, carrying more than a dozen carts of supplies, if the Xianbei people catch up on the road, it is easy to say that the goods are robbed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save my life." And if you stay in the city, at least there is a city to rely on, and my Han soldiers have never been afraid to defend the city. This is the second. ”

Guan Yu couldn't help but ask: "Military Master, in addition to these two points, is there a third reason?" ”

Xi Zhicai smiled and nodded: "The third point is also the most important point. Yun Chang, you said, why are these merchants not afraid of hardships and dangers, and transfer the goods from the Central Plains thousands of miles to Saiwai? ”

Guan Yu said without thinking: "Naturally, it is for profit." ”

Zhang Fei interjected: "Yes, yes, the so-called bustling world is all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit! ”

Xi Zhicai laughed and said: "Yide's "Historical Records" has been read well recently! ”

Zhang Fei only opened his mouth and laughed.

Xi Zhicai said solemnly: "This businessman was entrusted by his family, exhausted his family resources, and was willing to take risks to travel between the Central Plains and the outside of the Saiwai, and transfer materials, in order to make profits. They worked hard to transport silk, tea, wine, and other goods from the Central Plains to the outside of the Central Plains, thinking that they would exchange them for special products such as cattle and sheep from outside the Central Plains and sell them back to the Central Plains. Nowadays, many people's goods have not been successfully exchanged, and they have encountered such a situation, if they want to transport these things back, wouldn't it be a big loss? And if these things are still stored in the warehouses of the three cities outside the Saiwai, who knows if the city is broken, will the Xianbei people rob them of everything? ”

Guan Yu's eyes were shining, and he said, "What does the military advisor mean is that the only way for them to survive is to unite with us and try their best to protect the three cities outside the Saiwai?" ”

Xi Zhicai nodded and said, "Not bad!" They are now grasshoppers on a rope with me, and no one can escape. Besides, they ran back to the Central Plains without regard for this dry goods, and they were afraid that their own clan would let him go! ”
