Chapter 22 The Rich Man Xiao He
"General, Commander Guan is here!"
In the camp tent, Liu Chen is watching next to the map of Chengshan military village hand-drawn by Liu Qi, these days the Chengshan military village is developing rapidly, the slopes on both sides of the military port are built up a large area of military villages, the original side of the military village outside the wooden wall continues to expand, because of the abundance of manpower, the area of this military village has also become extremely large. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The military villages on the left and right sides can accommodate more than 30,000 people at the moment, and now there are more than 30,000 people living here in the Chengshan military village, and the wooden houses are built one by one, although they are not as comfortable as living in the town, and the equipment is relatively simple, but there are 8,000 soldiers around them, and they are at ease!
It was at this time that a voice came from the soldiers outside the tent.
Hearing this, Liu Chen looked at the gate of the camp tent and said, "Please come in!" ”
Then I saw Guan Yu, who was wearing a red robe, walked in, clasped his fists at Liu Chen and said, "I've seen the general!" ”
"Commander Guan doesn't have to be formal, please take a seat." Liu Chen led Guan Yu and sat next to him, while instructing his soldiers to serve tea, he also said to Guan Yu, "Commander Guan, I remember that you said before that you were able to come here because you were hired by Xiao Daguan in Yaxi County, may I ask who this Xiao Daguan is?" ”
Guan Yu was slightly stunned, and then said: "Xiao Daguan's original name is Xiao He, he is the richest man in Yaxi County, and he is also a great benevolent person, he has helped many poor people, and almost all the people in Yaxi County know him. ”
"Whew, sure enough, sure enough, it's him!" Liu Chen exhaled a long breath and said with surprise on his face.
"It turns out that the general also knows him, general, this Xiao is not ordinary, wise, wealthy, and has a private army of about 500 people in his hands, if it wasn't for his private soldiers who went to the main city of Rongcheng before, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been just our three hundred knights coming over, did the general want to recruit him?" Guan Yu said to Liu Chen.
Liu Chen thought to himself, of course I know him, but what I know is Xiao He in the history of the previous life, whether this Xiao He is that Xiao He or not I don't know, but I can fund the recruitment of warriors to fight against the Dongying people, I think he should also be a hot-blooded person, for such a person, Liu Chen naturally wants to recruit talents, you know, if this Xiao He is really Xiao He in the history of the previous life, then Liu Chen has one more first-class strategist.
"Yes, I do want to recruit him, but I don't know if he is willing or not, I want you to go to Yaxi County with me tomorrow to meet this Xiao He?" Liu Chen doesn't hide it, in fact, there is no need to hide it, now the Han army is in the development stage, with 8,000 armor, scarce manpower, and if you have the ability, Liu Chen wants to take it under his command.
Guan Yu clenched his fists and said: "General, his subordinates and Xiao He have had a few encounters, since the general has decided, his subordinates will accompany the general tomorrow, but the city lord of Yaxi County is not a good person, and we have such a big movement here, I'm afraid he already knew, and his subordinates suggested that he bring an army tomorrow, just in case." ”
"Oh? I don't know what the city lord's surname is? How many troops are there in the county? "Liu Chen really hasn't learned about Yaxi County, Liu Qi has handed over the military deployment of Yaxi County, but Liu Chen hasn't had time to see it.
"General, there are now more than 70,000 people in Yaxi County, the city lord Yongya, there are 6,000 city defense troops, under his rule, the people in the county town are miserable, if it weren't for the funding of Xiao He Xiao's big officials, and the threat of Yongya's 6,000 city defense army, that Yongya doesn't know how many times he has died, all in all, the people there are full of complaints about him, but they dare not speak out" Guan Yu's words had a strong disdain for Yongya.
"Yongfang?" Liu Chen was stunned for a moment, this world is really small, just a small Weihai County, there are so many historical figures in the previous life, it is really strange, but he quickly recovered, and then said, "You mean Yongya is very cruel?" Then he didn't think about Xiao He? ”
It's not strange for Liu Chen to think like this, just imagine, a person who is harsh to the people can't be unconcerned about the biggest rich man under his rule, if this rich man is not colluding with him, or the rich man has the power in his hands that makes him jealous.
"How could it be that you didn't think about it?" Guan Yu said, "Yongya has moved his mind more than once, but Xiao He has masters around him, and there are two, one is a young man with a red tassel spear, about twenty-five or six years old, his strength is not below me and my second brother, his name is Guan Ying, and the other is a strong man in his thirties, I want to defeat him, I need to hold a mountain axe after a hundred rounds, it seems to be called Cao Shen!" ”
"Irrigation baby, Cao ginseng?!" Liu Chen stood up suddenly, although he knew that there were too many historical figures in this world, but when he heard the names of Guan Ying and Cao Shen, he couldn't help but stand up, and his heart was even more excited, Guan Ying was a fierce general to the extreme when the Western Han Dynasty was founded in the previous life, and it seemed that Xiang Yu could suppress him during that period, although Cao Shen was a little worse than Guan Ying, but he was also a brave general, if he could take them under his command, Liu Chen would have more fierce generals.
Guan Yu didn't know why Liu Chen was so excited, but Liu Chen stood up, he still stood up, but he didn't speak.
Seeing this, Liu Chen smiled dumbly and said: "Commander Guan, let's decide like this, tomorrow, you and I and Luan Bu will go to Yaxi County, as for the six thousand city defense troops of Nayongya, hehe, I think Commander Guan will definitely disdain it!" ”
Hearing this, Guan Yu's eyes showed a gleam, and he said with a smile: "The subordinates are not boasting, if the subordinates want to leave, they can't keep me with those six thousand people!" ”
Liu Chen absolutely believes this, if not for anything else, just because he is Guan Yu, his name is Guan Yu, and he is holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, although he did not ride the red rabbit horse, but it is enough, it is definitely enough.
"The general is so proud, then his subordinates will go and prepare." Guan Yu hugged his fist at Liu Chen and bowed.
Liu Chen smiled and nodded, and then Guan Yu left, but Liu Chen sighed in his heart, he had thought that he would travel to another world, and how could he have thought that there would be the idea of chasing the world, now it is only more than two months, he has eight thousand soldiers, and there are also Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, Luan Bu and other fierce generals, everything is so unreal.
"Life in the world, if you don't want to do nothing, then vigorous, since I came, then I have to leave my traces, even if I die on this road, I will die without regrets!" Liu Chen muttered.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Chen, Guan Yu, Luan Bu and a group of three people, without long weapons, each with a long sword on their waists, and a long cloth bag on Luan Bu's horses, that is, they rode their horses away from Chengshan Military Village, Liu Chen's goal on this trip is Yaxi County, no matter what, he will try to see how to win Xiao He over!
