Chapter 172: Arms Dealers
"Withdraw!" Bai Huan pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "There will be no more big troops coming back!" Sticking to it no longer has any meaning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the Zhongshan Army knows, the front and rear strikes, it will be difficult for us to fly. As for Qu Shuai, he is strong in martial arts, and he has made light contributions, so he doesn't have to worry. Hongshangsai definitely can't stop him! ”
Hearing Bai Huan's words, Li Damu breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists, and walked out of the tent, estimating that he was going to command the thieves under his command to pack up and prepare to return to Montenegro. Lei Gong's face changed several times, and he finally accepted Bai Huan's suggestion. If the Bai Huan Department and Li Damu's Department are evacuated, more than 5,000 people under the Lei Gong Department want to defend Hongshangsai, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.
After the agreement, the Montenegrin bandit army of Hongshangsai withdrew overnight, and the thief army behind the palace burned the fortress with a fire. The fire burned for a whole day before it went out. By the time He Xian's army arrived, Hongshangsai was only left with ruins.
It is better for the Montenegrin thieves to withdraw, saving He Xian from consuming limited troops. However, this Hongshang plug can be regarded as a complete waste. If you want to rebuild, it takes time and work. Through Hongshangsai, it can be regarded as officially entering the boundary of Zhongshan Kingdom, and He Xian rushed to Lunu County non-stop.
Compared with last time, He Xian's identity has changed dramatically. Before, He Xian was only the son of the children of the first family of Nanyang County, and led dozens of generals to go north to Youzhou to make contributions. Coming back again, He Xian has become a loyal and brave lieutenant general who oversees the war in Youzhou, and his official position is more important than the county guard and the assassin history.
Ten miles outside Lunu County, Zhen Yan and Zhen Dao, on behalf of the family in Zhongshan, led Zhang Shiping, Xiaoqiang and others to wait on the side of the road.
"Subordinate Zhongshan Zhen Yan (Zhen Dao), see General Zhonglang!" Since He Xian and Zhao Yun defeated Yan Liang and Wen Chou in the last competition, they helped Zhen win the position of national lieutenant. The national lieutenant is equivalent to the county lieutenant. A few years ago, Liu Jian, the last of the Zhongshan Kingdom, was the heir, and the Zhongshan Kingdom was divided into a county. However, because of the rebellion of Minister Zhang Chun, the imperial court has not actually appointed a county guard, nor has a county lieutenant, so he is still commensurate with the country. Zhen Yan was elected as the acting minister of state, responsible for the livelihood of the people in Zhongshan; Zhen Dao was a national lieutenant and was in charge of Zhongshan's military affairs. Zhen Yan and Zhen Dao are now the nominal supreme leaders of Zhongshan Kingdom.
"You don't have to be polite!" He Xian hurriedly dismounted and helped the Zhen brothers. For Zhen Yan, He Xian didn't have too much impression. But Zhen Dao, the fourth son of the Zhen family, had a common combat experience with He Xian.
In later generations, if the relationship between men is to be iron, these experiences are indispensable: they have been through the window together and carried a gun together; Climb over the wall together, open the crotch together; drank wine together, and prostituted together; They have been in prison together, and they have shared the spoils together. If you meet two or more at the same time, you can be classified as a dead party!
He Xian and Zhen Dao are not close friends, but they have been born and died, and their relationship is no longer ordinary. What's more, Zhao Yun is now under his command, and there are three hundred Zhongshan soldiers borrowed from Zhen Dao!
After a few words of greeting with the two, He Xian turned to the side, and Zhang Shiping and Xiaoqiang and others still looked surprised.
Since the first time he met He Xian, Zhang Shiping felt that He Xian's bearing was extraordinary and he would become a great weapon in the future. It's just that this "future" is too fast for him to be unbelievably fast. If he hadn't seen Zhao Yun in the same uniform, he would have even suspected that he had recognized the wrong person.
"Childe, you're back!" Xiao Qiang's nose was sore, and he had the urge to hug He Xian's thigh and be in pain. A month ago, He Xian was not worried about the injured special combat soldiers, so he left Xiaoqiang in Zhongshan to take care of their diet and daily life. Since becoming He Xian's personal scholar eight years ago, Xiaoqiang has not been separated from He Xian for a long time. He Xian was first trapped in Fengyuan for three months, and then went north to Youzhou for a month, as the person who was going to become He Xian's housekeeper after all, Xiaoqiang felt that he was very derelict in his duty during this time!
He Xian patted Xiaoqiang's shoulder, and when he saw He Qian and other special combat team members behind him, who had moved unhindered, he said with a relieved face: "Good job!" Looks like you're recovering well? Zhen Mansion didn't treat you badly? He Xian asked quippedly.
"Thanks to the blessing of the son, Steward Zhang takes care of us very well, like a brother!" He Qian replied on behalf of the special combat personnel who were recuperating from their wounds.
"That's good! In this way, thank you Brother Zhang! He Xian said to Zhang Shiping.
Zhang Shiping waved his hand again and again, signaling the word "big brother" who couldn't afford to be a lieutenant general, "I really didn't expect that Zhang was fortunate enough to make friends with He Gongzi...... No, Nakaro will be such a person! If you don't dislike it, just call me Shiping, this big brother is really unaffordable! ”
He Xian does not force it, this is an era that pays attention to dignity and humility and order. In private, He Xian came according to his own temperament, but on the surface, he couldn't ignore the world's eyes. Zhang Shiping is just the big housekeeper of the Zhen family, and He Xian must take into account the feelings of his main family, the Zhen family.
"My lord, why don't I wait to go back to the city and talk about it? Mother is in the house, and she is also waiting anxiously! Zhen Dao stepped forward and asked He Xiandao.
Of course He Xian complied, in fact, the person with the most right to speak in the Zhongshan realm was not Zhen Yan or Zhen Dao, but this Zhen Zhang, Mrs. Zhen.
Goodbye Mrs. Zhen, she is still so young and beautiful, and she has mastered Zhongshan's right to speak again, which makes her feel good. And when she learned that the young hero who saved the Zhen family before turned out to be the new loyal and brave general, the son of the general He Xian, Mrs. Zhen felt even more lucky. In the malignness, she felt that the time for Zhongshan Zhen's further glory was coming!
Mrs. Zhen has the heart to befriend the He family, and wants to let her children and grandchildren enter the official career and obtain higher official positions through the relationship between He Xian or He Jin. He Xian, on the other hand, wanted to rely on Zhen's deep financial resources and influence in the Northland, and wanted to trade with him. So, one old and one young, just one shot, talk very happily. The two chatted from the afternoon to the night banquet, and finally decided on several economic cooperation. The most important item is that the He clan will lay a weapon workshop in Lunu County, Zhongshan in the name of the general prison, and the swords, guns, swords, halberds, as well as bows and arrows, crossbow arrows will be given priority to the Youzhou counterinsurgency army. Zhen originally had its own blacksmith workshop, and He Xian's move was to improve the technology, and secondly, in the name of the superintendent, so that Zhen could justifiably become the No. 1 arms supplier in the North!
What is the most profitable in the 21st century? In addition to real estate in China, drugs and arms, of course! This principle is applied to the Han Dynasty, and it has the same effect. Zhen had absolutely no reason to refuse. And He Xian, pulling together a powerful partner, has one more way to make money, and one more source of war horses. On top of that, Zhongshan will soon be able to provide a steady stream of crossbow arrows and other equipment that is exclusive to Nanyang County, instead of having to transport them from Nanyang!
