Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Greedy Heavenly Heroes
As soon as there was a drought the next day, Zhao Wenben took people to the Shuaifu, came to the door and ordered someone to report to the inside, and after a while, a small colonel ran out and said, "General Zhao, the handsome man is invited!" After saying that, he turned around and led the way, and Zhao Wenben followed the little colonel to the side hall of the Shuai Mansion. After sitting down, a servant brought tea, and after a while, Han Jian turned from the backyard and entered the house to sit down. Zhao Wenben stood up and saluted, "Meet the handsome!" ”
Han Jian waved his hand, "Sit down and speak." After Zhao Wenben sat down, he arched his hand and said, "Dashuai, yesterday some brothers came to my house to discuss, Xinxiang County was forcibly occupied, it was too embarrassing for my Tianxiong Army, and it would make the towns laugh at the incompetence of my Tianxiong Army." After consulting with them, I asked me to come forward, and begged the commander to give them a chance to wash away their shame. ”
Han Jian nodded and smiled, "General Zhao, it's not that I don't agree to send troops, after all, there is a prince there over there, if there is an accident, how will the court treat us, this marshal has to think about it!" ”
Zhao Wenben arched his hand, "Handsome, now that Huangchao occupies Chang'an, it has been almost a year since the envoys from all walks of life sent troops to fight the thief." Who cares about this! Besides, the deputy marshal and General Luo were killed by them for no reason last time, doesn't the marshal want to take revenge? ”
Han Jian was rough and didn't have many eyes, and when he saw that what he said was almost done, he was about to agree. But seeing his son Han Wen standing under the window outside the house and gently knocking on his head, Han Jian immediately understood what his son meant, and changed his words and said, "That's it!" This matter is so important, you let the brothers wait, I think about it. I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow! ”
Zhao Wenben didn't dare to push it too tightly, and arched his hand and said, "Dashuai, the last general will leave!" Go back and talk to your brothers, and wait for the news of the handsome! After speaking, Zhao Wenben retreated, and when he saw Han Wen standing under the corridor, he arched his hand and said, "I've seen Gongzi!" "Han Wen arched his hand" General Zhao worked hard! I don't know what the general is doing to see the marshal! Zhao Wenben arched his hand again and said, "Back to Gongzi, it's just a little thing to tell the marshal, and the marshal will come back tomorrow." The Admiral was preparing to go back. Han Wen said, "General hard work, please go slowly!" "Zhao Wenben arched his hand" did not dare to bother the son of Lao to send him off, and the last general would leave! ”
Zhao Wenben left, and Han Wen walked into the house screen to let everyone else exit the house. "Father, I don't know what you plan to do about this matter!" Han Jian said, "I don't want to agree, I originally wanted to refuse, but seeing your gesture, my father has only postponed it to tomorrow, I don't know what Wen'er thinks?" ”
Han Wenyi arched his hand, "Father, Zhao Wenben never reveals his thoughts. This time I came here must be supported by someone in the army, and I am afraid it is still a lot of support. If my father had agreed to send troops, they wouldn't have said anything. But if you don't agree, I'm afraid my Han family will have a bloody disaster! ”
When Han Jian heard this, he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the envoys of the feudal towns in various parts of the country listened to it well, and the huge territory had the final say. Actually! Every festival envoy stepped on the corpse of the previous one to come to power, and often the whole family was killed. Sometimes a soldier can kill you just because he doesn't like you.
Han Jian hurriedly asked, "Son! What to do for the Father! Han Wen smiled: "Help on both sides!" They want to send troops because the interests of the Chamber of Commerce have stimulated them, so they want to grab the Chamber of Commerce in their hands. If they want to die, then Father, you will fulfill them. As for Xinxiang, all you need to do is go to the Chamber of Commerce to notify you! ”
Han Jian nodded and said, "It can only be like this, it's just what we should do in the future!" Han Wen said, "If you want to go this time, let him go, the more you die, the better, and if we win, we will get a lot of money." If we lose, then there is nothing to lose for our Han family! ”
Han Jian nodded, "My son has a point, okay, you go to the Chamber of Commerce and say it, tomorrow I agree with them to send troops, the number is about 10,000!" Han Wen turned around and went out, Han simply shook his head, these soldiers are too capable, they are simply looking for death!
Han Wen went out of the house with two entourages, and not far from here there was one of the largest dealers of the United Chamber of Commerce in Bocheng. Walking into the store, the guy saw that he was dressed extraordinarily, and immediately greeted him, "Son, what do you want to buy?" ”
Han Wen said, "In a few days, the Japanese prince is going to have a banquet, so come and see the order of wine." "Man, it's big business! Hurriedly invited him to the second floor, and the shopkeeper personally received him. A middle-aged man in his forties personally brought the tea to Hanwen, "Childe, please drink tea!" Hangul said, "Don't be busy, let's talk about business first." The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Gongziqing said, the shop will do its best!" ”
Han Wen smiled, "In a day or two, my father will have more than 10,000 troops to hunt in Xinxiang, and he will come back in a few days to drink, so I will come to see if the shopkeeper has so much wine." The shopkeeper was stunned at first, but immediately understood, "Childe, the amount you want is too big, and the store can't make it up for a while, so it's better for you to come and see it in two days!" "Han Wen bowed his hand" There is a shopkeeper, farewell! He turned around and walked out of the store.
The shopkeeper watched Han Wen walk away, and immediately called his personal servant, "You immediately ride back to Xinxiang on horseback and tell the head of the Chamber of Commerce, just say that the prince of Jiedu said that tens of thousands of people will go to Xinxiang to hunt in two days, so that the family can be entertained." Remember! Be sure to be fast! The sooner the better! The servant bowed his hand, "Don't worry, sir, the little one will arrive as soon as possible!" "Turn around and go out and prepare.
Han Wen, who was standing at the head of Bozhou City, watched a fast horse rush out of the city, smiled, turned around and went down to the city to return home. A fast horse galloped on the avenue, and pedestrians on the road avoided it. The knight on the horse was covered in sweat. But he didn't care, just desperately hit the horse and hurried away.
Xinxiang County in the evening is quiet and peaceful in the afterglow of the sunset. Smoke rises in the sky above each house, children are waiting for the tender rabbit meat, now the people can eat rabbit meat and duck eggs every day, the streets of Xinxiang have been taken out to sell, too much can no longer be sold at a high price. Adults are a little tired of eating, but children still love to eat!
A fast horse broke the silence, and the horse galloped over, rushed into the county seat, and went straight to the Chamber of Commerce. President Ma is in a very good mood for a while, his nephew's children are now learning things very quickly, Lord Liu is very good to him, and he may be able to get an official and a half position in the future, so that he can also be right to his ancestors, and since he became the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce is getting busier and busier day by day, and now the things produced by the Chamber of Commerce are in short supply, and a large number of merchants come to pick up the goods with silver every day. When he closed the ledger and was about to go back to rest, there was suddenly a rush outside, "What's the matter?" President Ma was about to go out to check, when he saw two little guys rushing in with a person.
"What happened, and who is this person?" The person who was helped in ignored grabbed the kettle on the table, drank it in a big gulp, and after drinking the water, the person who came said "The small one is sent by the Bozhou Chamber of Commerce, and the shopkeeper let the small one inform the president, and the festival envoy said that tens of thousands of people will come to Xinxiang to hunt in the past two days, please prepare for Xinxiang as soon as possible!" "What! What did you say! ”
The visitor said again: "Please Xinxiang prepare early!" President Ma instructed the little servant to "take him to rest and take care of him!" The two of them helped the man out. President Ma shouted, "Come on, prepare the horses!" "Out of the hall and rode to the county office, the effort was not much to come to the door and dismount and rush in.
Li Jie was chatting with the nurse in the small garden, and the two girls were making trouble next to them. Li Jie's gaze at the two girls was so gentle, with a smile on his face. The nurse looked at it in her eyes and smiled: "Let's do it next year!" Li Jie was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Nurse, let's go two more years!" I'm still young! The nurse slapped him, "What is small, it's so decided!" ”
Li Jie was about to speak, when he saw President Ma hurriedly get up, "Your Highness." Li Jie waved his hand, "Come with me." The two entered the study, and Li Jie asked, "Why are you in such a hurry!" President Ma arched his hand and said, "Bozhou sent someone to say that tens of thousands of people will come to Xinxiang to hunt in a few days, please prepare early." ”
When Li Jie heard it, "Oh! Is the message reliable? President Ma said, "The duel is reliable, and the shopkeeper over there in Bozhou is the person I personally sent over." Li Jie said, "Okay, you have worked hard!" You go to rest! "President Ma arched his hand" The old slave retired! "Turned around and went out. Li Jie shouted, "Someone! A little eunuch ran in, knelt down and said, "Slave and maid, listen to the master's orders!" ”
"Send someone to invite all the generals and a few adults to come over immediately!" The little eunuch kowtowed, "Yes, the slave and maid will arrange it immediately!" "I turned around and went out to make arrangements.
It was already dark, but the hall of the county office was brightly lit. Everyone rushed to the meeting as soon as they received the summons, looked at the people sitting in the hall, and Li Jie said, "There is urgent news from the Bozhou Chamber of Commerce, someone will attack us in a few days, and there may be tens of thousands of people!" Everyone in the hall was shocked when they heard this, and Liu Qi said, "Your Highness, is this news reliable?" Li Jie said, "Reliable, people said that it was said by the prince himself." Liu Qi said again: "Look at it like this, Han Jian and his son want to settle down on both sides!" Li Jie nodded.
Liu Qi thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, how does Your Highness want to do it!" Li Jie thought for a while, "It shouldn't be a problem to beat them back outside Xinxiang County!" Liu Qi said again, "Your Highness, is that all?" "Li Jie arched his hand: "I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”
Liu Qi said, "Now we have basically gained a firm foothold between Xinxiang and Luoyang, and this year's agricultural harvest has a large amount of surplus grain for the people." There is no problem in terms of people's livelihood and popular support, but our place is too small and the population is too small, and both the chamber of commerce and the army have developed to the limit! It is time for the development of the outward, since Wei Bo has sent troops, then why don't we take advantage of the situation and take the opportunity to take Weizhou, so that we will have a large number of people and land, and according to His Royal Highness's method, the people's hearts will be attached to it for only a few months, and Wei Bo is afraid that after this defeat, there will not be much strength at that time, so His Highness will be able to take Wei Bo. So this time my opinion is to annihilate them all"
