Chapter 34: The Iron Horse

Wang Jixiang's speed was beyond imagination, and everything had been settled in just one day and one night. He returned to Weicheng with more than a dozen boxes of silver, and arranged the task of purchasing weapons and rations.

"How can it be so fast?" Liu Dehao asked Wang Jixiang.

Yin Shenglin looked at the boxes of the one-horse convoy: "Why are there so many?" ”

"It was Boss Hu who received the goods, he said that his father was Liu Zhangzun's old friend, and he also heard about Dou Guo's affairs, and he didn't even inspect the goods, so he directly asked someone to bring out all the money they had there. He said that Zhangzun's goods sell not only value, but also human favor. If it weren't for the urgency, Zhangzun would naturally not ask him for help, and if he could serve Zhangzun, it would be better to mix in the future. Someone is responsible for buying what should be bought, and we are now short of arrows, iron armor, and military rations. These cars are just the money left."

Liu Dehao nodded and patted Wang Jixiang on the shoulder: "Yes, you Wang Jixiang, Yin Shenglin really didn't mistake you two brothers, you are the material for big things." Xiaohu is a good young man, and his temperament follows his father. Did you ask him where his father is now? ”

"This is exactly what I want to inform you, Boss Hu said that Mr. Hu is in Jinzhou, and he will come to Weicheng in a few days, and he has important matters to discuss with Zhangzun and King Qi."

"Really? That's great. "A few people helped unload the car together, and the war was not about the soldiers, but about the money!

"The rest?" Yin Shenglin quietly asked Liu Dehao: "I originally thought that it would be good if the things we made up could be sold for so much silver, but I didn't expect that there would be so much left after buying things." ”

"I, Liu Dehao, shipped the goods, the original price is high, and I am an old man, so I will definitely not treat us badly."

"Yes, third brother."

Liu Dehao handed Yin Shenglin the white jade bracelet: "It's done, it's also inlaid with gold, it's beautiful, right?" Miss Tong definitely likes it. ”

"That's good! Thank you Liu Zhangzun. ”

"You......" Liu Dehao smiled and continued to help carry the silver.

Wang Fugui quietly asked You Xiu: "I have heard Zhangzun and them mention this person named Mr. Hu many times, who is he sacred?" ”

You Xiu told him that Mr. Hu was Hu Chengda, and when the emperor first ascended the throne, he had three generals arranged for him by the first emperor to protect the country and three ministers to assist the government, and the three generals were General Yang Wei, General Zhang Shaoyun and Liu Jian. The first of the three Wenchen is Tong Wen, the second is Wang Xi, and the third is this Hu Chengda. Asked the three ministers about internal affairs, there were three generals in foreign affairs, but unfortunately the emperor only liked chess, so Mr. Hu left the court with anger.

In fact, the arrangement of the first emperor had his reasoning, Tong Wen represented the interests of the Tong family, Wang Xi maintained the prince and the Wang family, Hu Chengda was not from a prominent family, naturally the interests of the people came first, and when the three major political groups existed, no one dared to fight with anyone, otherwise it would only be a third party who would benefit. Hu Chengda also understands the truth of this, but he understands in his heart that this kind of court game is an unsolvable chess game, and he stays in the court, although it seems to be calm, but the contradictions between the various groups will only gradually deepen, not a long-term strategy, the only way is to be a wait-and-seeer, go with the flow, and not meddle in political affairs, so as not to end up with his own insecurity.

Wang Fugui said: "If you don't talk about it, I really don't know that there is such a person." I've been fighting outside the war, and I don't know anything about the government, it seems that this Mr. Hu is really powerful, and even the palm is called Mr. ”

"He also respectfully calls me sir!" Lobby said.

Liu Dehao jumped behind the two of them for some reason, and mocked You Xiu: "I know the etiquette and etiquette, and calling you a gentleman is to respect you and me before I was born, and it is not because you have any real skills." Mr. Hu is different, he is my first teacher, it is the real reality, and it is not the same as an imposter like you. ”

……

Yin Shenglin gestured on the map: "Everyone is very efficient, our speed of action can be accelerated, before he Tong Wen has called, take the initiative to attack, and catch him off guard!" General Zhang, you take 5,000 people to set up an ambush in the area north of Changling, take advantage of the mountainous and forested landform here, stop Tong Wen, go around in circles with him in the mountains, and fight a psychological war to consume him if you don't kill people. ”

"The last general will take the order, not 5,000, 3,000 people."

"Good! General Yang, you take 50,000 men south along the Hoop River and camp along the coast. Adapt to the situation. I will lead most of the people to face it head-on and beat Tong Wen with a fart and pee! General Yang waited for me to hold back their main force, and then attacked from the flank, disrupting them, and they couldn't fight back! ”

"The last general commands!"

"General Wang Fugui, you take 30,000 troops, march around the east, ambush in the west of Changling, and wait for us to fight here, you must break through the west of Changling City at all costs, when Tong Wen cares about the tail, we will directly give him a flanking attack, and he can't find the north."

"The last general commands!" Wang Fugui asked, "Why didn't General Li Runlin come to participate?" ”

"This time, the emperor's thieves stayed in Weicheng."

"Why?"

"I don't let Liu Zhangzun go, just to let him stay here to avoid Tong Wen's sneak attack or something. There are not only our people in Weicheng, but also the people, we don't care about them, who cares? Also, I just got the news today, Brother Liu doesn't know where he went, there is no news, and Zhangzun has sent General Li to find it. Therefore, the emperor and the thief, the two people who can lead the troops, can't go. We have to win this battle on our own and by our ability. ”
