"Kill~"

"Kill~"

The sound of steel knives hitting gold and iron, the screams of broken bones were intertwined on this river beach, and the two cavalry collided together viciously like a rolling iron stream, and suddenly exploded into a brilliant blood, and the two cavalry suddenly merged and separated, and then staggered, but dozens of corpses were already lying on the ground, and dozens of ownerless war horses neighed and fled in horror to the distance.

"Whew~"

Sima Ju strangled the war horse fiercely, panting, looking left and right, his pupils constricted for a moment, he couldn't believe it, just a confrontation, more than 100 cavalry on his side had more than 30 casualties, and most of the surviving cavalry were wounded, and suddenly looked back, but saw that Zhang Min's subordinates were almost not killed.

Looking at the enemy army on the opposite side who had broken the formation and was ready to charge, the cold chill made him shudder, and he could even clearly see the cruel smile on Zhang Min's face, the difference in strength was too big, he knew that if he continued to fight more than 100 cavalry, including himself, he would probably have to explain here.

At the same time, the earth trembled, the iron hooves roared, and Zhang Min's team once again launched a charge towards him.

Fear, like spider silk, began to spread in the hearts of Sima Juji's subordinates~

"Let's go!"

Sima Ju howled violently, turned the horse's head fiercely, raised the horsewhip and whipped it on the horse's buttocks, the war horse let go of its four hooves and galloped away, and the more than 70 cavalrymen who survived breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to follow~

In the gallop of the war horse, Sima Ju suddenly looked back, through the overlapping cavalry figures, only to see that Zhang Min did not chase up, but was busy collecting more than a thousand war horses, this is more than a thousand war horses, Sima Ju turned his head in pain, secretly gritted his teeth, and thought about how to find this field~

。。。。。。。。。

The scorching sun hung in the sky, and there were no clouds.

An eagle's vigorous wings hovered high in the air, looking down on the earth indifferently, as if searching for any edible prey, and the scream suddenly swept through the sky, and the wings were brought together, swooping towards the ground.

On the ground, the vast mountains, the towering trees are densely covered on the foothills, and the earth-shattering sound of the training army soars into the sky through the dense forest.

Qu A held a spear with a stern expression, like an arrogant and vigorous ancient pine, standing solemnly on the boulder, looking at the soldiers training under the boulder with an indifferent expression.

And Liu Wei was in a military uniform and was discussing the military situation with Cheng Yu, when he suddenly heard a strong cry, his expression moved, and he suddenly raised his head into the air, with a smile on his face, it was the eagle Xiaohei who was responsible for transmitting information.

Xiao Hei, who swooped down, was four or five meters above Liu Bian's head, and his speed gradually decreased, and his vigorous wings landed steadily on the dirt slope beside Liu Bian, and a red silk was tied to his powerful calf, and an extremely fine sheepskin roll was tied to the silk.

"Xiao Hei, thank you for your hard work."

Liu Wei gently touched Xiao Hei's eagle head, after such a long time of cultivation, Xiao Hei is no longer the arrogant eagle he was at the beginning, at this time Xiao Hei is affectionately arching Liu Wei with his head, and at the same time expressing his joy and wish through spiritual connection.

"Hey, yes. Hooked up with a female eagle! Liu Wei untied the sheepskin roll on the red silk and waved his hand, Xiao Hei couldn't wait to rise to the sky, looking at Xiao Hei's vigorous and heroic posture, Liu Wei was not surprised at all how he hooked up with a female eagle in such a short trip.

After more than half a year of cultivation in the [Animal Taming Pavilion], Xiao Hei has too many eagles of ordinary breeds that are higher in terms of body shape, smoothness of coat color, and attributes, and among birds, it is the smoothness of body shape and coat color as the standard, it is not strange to hook up with a female eagle, if the breed is better, it will be stuffed into the [Animal Taming Pavilion] to cultivate.

Liu Wei unfolded the parchment scroll and read it at a glance, but his brows were slightly furrowed, this letter was passed down by Guan Cheng, but Yan Ming pretended to be the messenger of Que Xuan, and slightly modified the plan, and at the same time, Guan Hai's request was also put forward, asking if he could agree.

Cheng Yu on the side looked at Liu Wei's gradually rising brows, he didn't know what had happened, so he said in a condensed voice: "Your Highness, but the plan is nothing but a mistake?" ”

"It's a little changed, see for yourself."

Liu Wei handed the parchment scroll to Cheng Yu, Zhou Mei pondered, not to mention anything else, Guan Cheng's ability to adapt to emergencies was indeed a bit unexpected to him, he had not checked Guan Cheng's attributes before, and now it seems that he may have missed a talent, if the attributes can, it is not bad to train Guan Cheng to be a full-time debater.

In fact, the so-called debaters are similar to the diplomats of later generations, after all, war is just the last hand of politics, in addition to persuasion, alliances, and various missions, all of which need to be done by debaters, and the most famous debater in history is Jian Yong under Liu Bei.

When Liu Bei entered Xichuan in history, he led his troops to besiege Chengdu, when Liu Bei transferred not many people from Jingzhou, and there were still tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Chengdu, and the grain and grass were enough to support several years.

This is enough to show the importance of the debater lobbyist, if Guan Chengzhen can take on this kind of heavy responsibility, Liu Wei is very willing to spend resources to cultivate.

At this time, Cheng Yu also finished reading the parchment scroll, and looked at Liu Wei with flickering eyes: "With Guan Hai as the center, we will unite all the thieves in Qingzhou and jointly conquer Bu Ji, but this plan is very wonderful, but there is a big hidden danger in it!" ”

"Huh!?" Liu Wei felt a pang in his heart, Cheng Yu was one of the top strategists in this era, he would never dare to ignore Cheng Yu's opinion, and said in a deep voice: "What are the hidden dangers of Zhongde and Yan?" ”

"Weichen should know that the original intention of the design is to make the big and small thieves in Qingzhou conquer each other and increase hatred, so that the war in Qingzhou is everywhere, and our army can take this opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and gradually use soft and hard means to annex the thieves one by one! However..."Cheng Yu sighed and said: "Under the disclosure of Guan Cheng's identity, it is commendable to be able to come up with such a clever plan with his quick wit!" ”

After saying this, Cheng Yu said in a deep voice: "However, after this plan, there is no doubt that Bu Ji will fall, but if the thieves from all walks of life do not fight each other, there will be no hatred at all, so our army will have no chance to fish in troubled waters, and we will expose our identity, and our army will be in a difficult situation at that time!" ”

"It's okay!" Liu Wei took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, Guan Chengneng can come up with this plan in a hurry, I don't know how long it will take to eliminate Bu Ji, I can always come up with other strategies!" ”

As soon as Liu Wei's words fell, a heavy footsteps sounded in the dense forest, and suddenly looking back, it was the black bull leading Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, who were in the dust, to stride over.

"I've waited to see Your Highness!" Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang stepped forward, bowed down and said respectfully: "We are fortunate to have fulfilled our mission, a thousand high-grade war horses have all been plundered by the Yellow Turban Bandits, and we have seen with our own eyes two groups of cavalry of different forces, after a bloody killing, the victorious side drove the horses south!" ”

"Heading south?" Liu Wei looked stunned for a moment, then frowned and ordered the black bull to put on the map, Cheng Yu stepped forward, his deep eyes scanned back and forth on the map, and he pondered for a long time before turning his head and saying to Liu Wei in a condensed voice: "Bu Ji's people are going south, I am afraid that they want to go around the Beihai Kingdom and rebel, and their intention should be to avoid Guan Hai's pursuers!" ”

"Want to hide?" Liu Wei narrowed his eyes slightly, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, how could Lao Tzu spend so much money to buy a war horse to let you be transported back to Le'anguo for such a plain reason, and suddenly looked back and said sharply: "Where is Chu Xing?" ”

"The last general!" Chu Xing, who was guarding not far away, immediately stepped forward and clenched his fists and said sharply: "What does Your Highness command?" ”

Liu Wei looked at Chu Xing and said in a deep voice: "You can pick up the old brothers of Xiliang, hurry up and rush along the direction of Linqu, Zhuxu, Chang'an, Jiaodong and other counties, and release the news that there are more than 1,000 high-quality war horses in the hands of Bu Ji's people along the way!" ”

"No!" Chu Xing hugged his fists and led his life!

After giving the order, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, who were standing respectfully and solemnly, his heart moved, and a smile appeared on his face: "This matter is hard for the two of you, but what are the plans of the next two?" ”

Su Shuang's eyes flashed a glimmer of essence, slightly exchanged glances with Zhang Shiping, and secretly exclaimed in his heart, finally here, but they didn't want to participate in all forces, so they hugged their fists and said respectfully: "This is the matter, the two of us are still willing to sell horses for a living, travel all over every inch of my Han land, and appreciate the scenery of my Han country!" ”

What the two of them are most afraid of is that Liu Wei forcibly left them behind, in fact, business in this era is a cheap business, although there is money, but the status is low, many people are unwilling to take a straight look at businessmen, don't look at Liu Wei and the Hanoi County family jointly run a hot pot restaurant, in fact, in addition to Lei Shu is taking care of it, Sima's, Zhang's, and Ma's have not sent anyone to take care of it personally.

Recruiting the two as Liu Bianhong Nong Wang really gave the two of them enough face, but the reality is that Liu Biao has no identity but no real power, and they are not optimistic about Liu Biao at all.

However, Liu Wei has been a human being for two lifetimes and has become an ordinary person, how can he be forcibly detained? It was with a smile and said: "Since the two of you still want to make a living by selling horses, it is inconvenient for you to keep the two of you." ”

"Your Highness!" Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"Well, the two of you are very busy, and you can't repay you alone, so let's see them off in person." Liu Wei Huoran got up, made a gesture of invitation with his right hand and said, "Two please!" ”

"Your Highness!" Su Shuang. Zhang Shiping and the others hurriedly thanked them, and followed Liu Wei step by step~

Looking at the backs of the three of them, Cheng Yu shook his head, he is not a conformist sour Confucian, of course he knows the benefits of raising a few businessmen under his command, but Liu Wei, as a king, has not forcibly retained him, and he can't say anything, otherwise with his means, he can make Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping cry and stay.

After a while, Liu Wei turned back thoughtfully and said to Cheng Yu: "Zhongde, do you know how many victims are there in Qingzhou?" How much money does it take to govern Qingzhou and return to the rich Qingzhou of the past? ”

Cheng Yu thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Weichen once visited Taishan County, and the victims were at least 500,000, so if it is estimated that the number of victims in Qingzhou is about 4 million, as for how much money is needed to govern..."

After saying this, Cheng Yu smiled bitterly and said: "We need to suppress bandits and govern people's livelihood at the same time, if we want to restore the rich Qingzhou before, the money needed is countless." ”

"Countless?" Liu Wei frowned, it seemed that it would be impossible to rely on Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's petty fights, and he still needed to rely on the world's wealthy businessmen, so he asked in a deep voice: "Does Zhongde know how to trade with the alien races in the grassland?" ”

"Your Highness wants to trade with the steppe aliens? This is no small matter! Cheng Yu's expression became solemn when he heard this.

"Oh?" Liu Wei raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the problem?" ”

"In recent years, my Han Dynasty, the national strength is declining, although since the sandalwood acacia later, Xianbei is divided into three parts, but on the grassland, it is still in a hegemonic position, and on the other hand, the Xiongnu and Wuhuan people have long been compressed by Xianbei and almost have no living space, so they fell to my Han, and the countries of the Western Regions, north to Wusun, west to Dawan, are all threatened, and within the Western Regions, the Cheshi country and Wusun have been fighting all year round, and there is no deterrence between the countries, and they are gradually chaotic, and the Silk Road is almost cut off." Cheng Yu said in a deep voice.

"In addition, in the land of Xiliang, the forces of all parties are intertwined, especially the foundation of Dong Zhuo's old thief, it is extremely difficult for His Highness to trade with the grassland."

"Zhongde misunderstood." Liu Wei shook his head and said: "How can Lone not know the current form, and how can he not restart the Silk Road with his own strength?" Lone just wants to trade with the northern steppe through an agent in exchange for funds! ”

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Dare to ask His Highness what is the agent?" ”

"This agent wants to hand over the goods to the merchant family, and through them to trade with the steppe people, and the merchant family can become an agent." Liu Wei sighed and explained simply.

"I see, Your Highness intends to trade with the grassland through intermediaries!" Cheng Yu bowed his head slightly, and then asked rhetorically: "I don't know what His Highness wants to trade with the grassland people?" ”

"Is there a lack of salt in the grasslands?" Liu Wei thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "There is a way to increase the yield of salt, and it can produce a large amount of salt in a short period of time!" ”

For making money and doing business, Liu Wei is naturally more knowledgeable than people of this era, and he also knows more clearly what things can make money quickly, but there is a premise for this, there must be enough force to support it, otherwise it is just a crime, and he will not run a small hot pot restaurant with a wealthy family in Hanoi County.

In this era, salt as a necessity of life, how profitable it is, is simply unimaginable. And the salt drying method is almost equivalent to buying a money printing machine by yourself, printing money there hard, and it is all real money!

In fact, not only the salt drying method, papermaking is also equivalent to grabbing money in this era, Cai Lun papermaking in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, in fact, is only an improvement of papermaking, but even if it is the improved paper, it is only similar to the yellow paper of later generations, and the rice paper he mastered is no longer the same level at all.

The rest of the printing technology and the like are even more money-grabbing, but these require a relatively stable base, and the process is relatively complex, far less simple than drying salt. It was he who chose the method of drying salt to make money.
