Hua Yunlong was surprised to receive this errand. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

No matter who it is, when it comes to Xuzhou generals, Guan Zhang must be mentioned first. Secondly, it is Zhao Yunshi, Tianze, Wu Yunzhao and others.

As soon as Hua Yunlong became a general under Liu Bei, he received the task of escorting the imperial tribute. This made him both excited and surprised.

His brothers, who have a lot of thoughts, privately told him their doubts, so many famous generals of the Xuzhou Army, why would the errand of escorting the tribute be handed over to us?

In the brother's words, the implicit meaning is that the lord Liu Bei expected the risk and was reluctant to send the elite of the lineage out?

What my brother said is not without any truth. Other lords may be like this, but the lord Liu Bei, who has always been loyal, should not.

Why did this task be given to himself, Hua Yunlong couldn't figure it out.

It's good to be safe and complete the task smoothly.

But as far as Hua Yunlong is concerned, having trouble and encountering robbers is a good opportunity to prove his strength, and let people know that in the Xuzhou army, there is not only about Zhang!

……

Starting from Shouchun, it has been marching in the territory of Jiujiang and Peiguo.

Both of these places were under Liu Bei's rule, and the Xuzhou army was stationed along the way, which was very safe.

In the past few days, the convoy has left Peiguo and entered the junction of Chen and Liang. The next few hundred miles will be the real test.

Hua Yunlong didn't dare to be careless, and called Shi Chang Xiaohezi and asked him to take a few people to the front station.

The escort team plus the coachman, there are hundreds of people, plus more than 100 animals pulling the cart, and the eating, drinking and sleeping of the entire team are all big problems.

In the territory of Jiujiang and Peiguo, because they were all under Liu Bei's rule, the towns along the way were prepared in advance, and the convoy did not have much to worry about.

After getting out of Peiguo, it was all on your own.

The convoy brought enough dry rations. However, on a hot day, meat and vegetables cannot be carried, so they can only be purchased along the way. Also, find clean water sources and replenish drinking water.

"In this area, the ground is not very flat. Walk a few more miles today and rest at the crossroads in the evening. ”

The cross slope is high and the road is smooth, so it is easy to spot if there is danger.

Hua Yunlong asked Xiao Heizi to take his subordinates and rush to the cross slope to investigate first. If there are no anomalies, they are stationed there at night.

The diet of the army consisted mainly of dry food and thick porridge. If possible, cook vegetable porridge. If you can eat meat, it will help you replenish your energy.

The days ahead will certainly not be as comfortable as when you are on your own turf.

Hua Yunlong instructed Xiao Heizi to buy some vegetables and meat if possible, so that the brothers could eat better.

The little black man took the order and left.

Hua Yunlong called another junior colonel and ordered him to lead the light cavalry team to reconnoitre. Extend the reconnaissance range from five miles to ten miles.

Deploy carefully, even if there are robbers, what does it matter? The convoy continued to move slowly......

……

In the small shop of Cross Slope, Zhang Qing and his wife and the guys were busy.

The thieves want to rob the tribute, and the stakes are high. Wu Songshixiu did not tell Zhang Qing and his wife, but only reminded them that there must be something big when bandits are infested, so let them be careful.

Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang are mixed in the rivers and lakes, they have experienced strong winds and waves, and they don't care a lot.

In the last two days, news has come from the south that the convoy escorting the imperial tribute will pass through the cross slope.

Zhang Qing and his wife have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and immediately guessed that the gathering of thieves a few days ago must have something to do with it.

"It's okay, let's just open a store and do business. The army passed by, but it was a good opportunity to make money. "Sun Erniang's brain is active. The army passed by, eating, drinking, and lazing, all of which were good opportunities to make money.

Sun Erniang has been busy stocking up these days.

When the army passed by, Sun Erniang prepared a lot of things that might be bought. The small shop on the cross slope has become a small supermarket with complete goods.

Needless to say, coarse wine and dried meat, etc. Even the needle and thread brain are prepared.

Sun Erniang took a few balls of sewing thread and asked the guy Ghost Bean and Thief Jing to wrap the thread around a truncated branch. Divide a ball of lines into a dozen small groups.

The thief was lazy and didn't want to do it, so he complained: "What are you doing with this thing, how much money can you make?" ”

"The less valuable the object, the greater the benefit, you know? A group of lines sells for one dollar, divided into ten small groups, and each group sells for one dollar, and you can sell it for ten dollars! What is a tenfold profit on trading? ”

"Profiteers!" Ghost Bean muttered.

Sun Erniang was stunned. "What are you talking about?!"

Ghost Bean hurriedly put on a flattering face. "I said that Erniang is shrewd in business! Except for our Erniang, who could come up with such a clever idea? ”

The thief said disdainfully: "Ten times the profit, it's only ten dollars, what's the use of fart?" If you want to do it, make a big deal! I tell you, there are ...... of profitable trades everywhere."

The thief Jing put the thief's light in his eyes, threw down the thread, gestured with both hands, and spoke in the vernacular.

Sun Erniang stretched out her hand and gave the thief Jing a hand. "You make a big deal, I don't care. If you don't finish your work, don't want to eat at night! ”

After Erniang finished speaking, she went into the house to get busy.

"Raise your hand and scold, open your mouth and scold! I can't live this day! The thief rubbed the back of his head dissatisfiedly.

Seeing Erniang enter the house, the thief Jing said to the ghost bean mysteriously: "I have a good idea!" ”

"What's the idea?"

"Let's run! Go to Luoyang Tongfuyi! ”

Tongfuyi is now a world-famous restaurant, the ghost bean blinked his eyes, a look of yearning, but he said with inferiority: "Can people want us?" ”

"Of course!" The thief was full of confidence. "Oh, of course, people don't look down on you. But with me, I will definitely be able to take you in! ”

"Don't blow it, you don't know Tong Xiangyu."

"What if you don't know? With my ability, as long as I get to Tongfuyi, in less than a year, I can become the second person in Tongfuyi under Tong Xiangyu, above everyone! ”

"Really?"

"Of course!" Thief Jing put on a big man's style, patted Ghost Bean's shoulder and said, "Brother, you must have ideals in life!" ”

"Oh, but I heard that the number two person in Tongfuyi is a pig!"

"......" The thief seemed to be choked, but he quickly became excited again. Let me tell you, Tongfuyi not only has a good business, but the proprietress Tong Xiangyu is also a big beauty! ”

The ghost bean blinked with wide eyes. "I think it's good-looking, our Sun Erniang is still good-looking!"

"Come on, just her? It's not as good as Tong Xiangyu's one foot! ”

"Smack!"

Sun Erniang, who had been standing behind them for a long time, slapped the thief Jing away!

"Don't want to eat at night!"

The ghost beans are hilarious and laugh wildly.

Sun Erniang was cursing the thief Jing, and Zhang Qing walked back dejectedly.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Qing sighed and shook his head helplessly. "Well, I didn't buy a cow."

"This ......" Sun Erniang was a little dumbfounded.

According to Sun Erniang's calculations, when the army passes by, the best thing to sell is fresh beef. Erniang asked Zhang Qing to go to a nearby house to buy a few beef cattle, and when the army came, he would kill and sell them now, and he would definitely make a lot of money.

"Have you asked Zhen Kansai?"

Zhen Guanxi was originally a butcher and was most familiar with this kind of thing.

"I have asked, it is what he said, the government came to inform all families, killing cattle and selling cattle, and punish serious crimes."

"What's going on?" Sun Erniang is counting on selling beef to make a lot of money.

"Erniang, I suspect that this matter has something to do with them." Zhang Qing gestured to a gesture that was customary on the rivers and lakes.

The corners of Sun Erniang's eyes jumped. "Can't you?"
