Piracy detected! Uncle Yan Wen squatted under the stones at the feet of the two, and his heart was pounding. I only heard another accent: "General Yao, don't deceive us, the benefits of garrisoning Xingyang are obvious, once you wait for the encirclement and suppression, we can attack and retreat and defend, this is the water transportation center of the entire Henan, occupying the advantage of Aocang, let us go to Guide Mansion?" Hehe, I don't know what your general's idea is? ”

"Hey......" General Yao said, "Governor Lu can't say that?" If you don't listen to me, don't blame our chief soldier for not reminding you when the disaster comes. ”

"Catastrophe is coming?" Lu Xiong snorted coldly: "Who of us doesn't know who?" As far as your 30,000 soldiers in Luoyang are concerned, one has no weapons and the other has no military salary, and it may be easy to defend Luoyang City, and if you want to come out of Xingyang in the east, hehe, the general can come over and have a try. ”

"Elm Head!" General Yao said: "Let's tell you the truth, this is a matter of mutual benefit." He lowered his voice again and said: "Governor Lu, our general has a holiday with Su Baiyi of Guide Mansion, but it is inconvenient to take the initiative, so, hehe......" showed a smile that you know.

Lu Xiong waved his hand: "Don't say these words, we occupy the important town of Xingyang, which is a great benefit, the land of the projectile of Defu, and it is adjacent to Nanjing in the east, Shandong in the north, and Kaifeng Mansion is separated from us here, you are letting grandpa and me hit the iron plate, do you think I will be so stupid?" ”

I only heard General Yao's yin and yang strange words: "It is up to your family Luo Dashuai to decide whether to go or not, and you will naturally not work hard in vain." ”

"How?" Lu Xiong asked.

"You go to Guide Mansion, if you are lucky enough to knock down Shangqiu City, hehe, then your Luo Dashuai is really going to be sent." General Yao lowered his voice: "Who is Su Baiyi?" Do you know how much silver he has? ”

"It's just a merchant's ear!" Lu Xiong smiled contemptuously: "Even if he is rich, can he be rich enough to pass the Kang family in this Heluo land?" ”

"You're wrong!" General Yao said: "Then do you know that in addition to being a businessman, Su Baiyi also has another identity, he is the railway governor appointed by the imperial court, and he has the rank of second rank." ”

"Of course this Pontus dokes." Lu Xiong patted his chest.

"Then do you know how much silver Su Baiyi has in his hand for the construction of the railway?" General Yao smiled lightly and raised his eyebrows.

"Deposit silver?" Lu Xiong was slightly stunned in confusion.

General Yao laughed and said, "Su Baiyi used fifteen shares of the railway to raise 18 million taels of silver in Guide Mansion two months ago, you don't know about this matter, but we know it very well. ”

"What ......" Lu Xiong only heard 18 million taels, his brain "buzzed", and he looked at General Yao stupidly: "What you said is true?" Eighteen million taels of silver in Guide Province? ”

"It's not just silver!" General Yao said: "There are also good steel, as well as soap, glass, perfume and other things, if Su Baiyi falls into the hands of your Luo Dashuai, hahahaha, won't these things and recipes become your Luo Dashuai?" ”

"Hehe, Yuan Mo's kid won't trick Lao Tzu, let Lao Tzu deliberately go over and die?" Lu Xiongpi didn't smile, but his heart was pounding.

He had known about the so-called soaps, perfumes, and glasses, and that they could make a lot of money. But as a thief, he cares about whether his brothers have anything to eat every day, and whether there are officers and soldiers chasing after him, so he never thought of the idea of fighting Su Baiyi.

Now that General Yao said this, he was moved.

Yes, if there is really 18 million taels of silver in Guide Mansion, then it is designated by Luo Dashuai.

But the rest of Su Baiyi's various businesses, as a cadre, can he also make some money, right?

Even if you get a soap recipe, it's an inexhaustible treasure.

"You don't have to worry about whether we're cheating." General Yao said: "Just send someone to the Guide Mansion to find out one or two, this is not clear about the matter of the railway share singing and selling meeting at the beginning?"

Well, that's all there is to it! General Yao arched his hand towards Lu Xiong and said: "Yao has taken his leave, but if Luo Dashuai really goes to attack Guide Mansion, please let the Metropolitan Governor inform me in advance, and when the time comes, he will send troops to chase after him, and he will also ask the Metropolitan Governor to complete it." ”

Lu Xiong snorted coldly, his eyes were full of contempt: When will these dog officials of the imperial court not forget to take the opportunity to act and make a trick of the Henan general army to defeat Luo Rucai's bandits.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Lu Xiong didn't stay long, and when General Yao left, he also drifted away.

After a long time, when the sun had completely set, Uncle Yan Wen in the grass quietly climbed up, his clothes were wet with sweat, and he was blown by the cold wind in the mountains, and he shivered for no reason. Groping around, he picked up the scythe he had discarded before and followed the way he came down the mountain. When they reached the bottom of the mountain, they saw that the bonfire was bright, and the two workers who had been hired had already started to make a fire for cooking.

Uncle Yan Wen walked up to them, lay on the ground without strength, and asked, "Did you see anyone coming down from the mountain just now?" ”

The old farmer said: "See, a group of more than a dozen people have already walked around the north of the mountain, and they came to ask when they saw us." According to what Gongzi taught us before, we said that they were hunters who came to hunt in the mountains, and they didn't embarrass us. ”

"Hmm!" Uncle Yan Wen nodded, looked at the bonfire for a while, and then suddenly got up and said, "Let's go, stop for a few days, let's go back to the station at the foot of the mountain, I forgot to bring a few important things." ”

"Okay, we'll listen to Childe."

The three of them didn't have time to eat, so they hurriedly sorted out the package, and after taking a few bites of dry food, they took advantage of the night to go down the mountain, and when they returned to the station, it was already the end of the hour.

The station at the foot of the mountain is a temporary station established by ten people in this group, because the road is far away, some people can't come back at night and can only live in the fields nearby, so when Uncle Yan Wen comes back, there are only two people in the station.

With him, there were three people in total, and needless to say, the remaining seven were too far away from the station to rush back.

"Uncle Wen, why are you back?" Captain Huang Heng looked at Uncle Yan Wen and asked in some surprise.

"Captain Huang, say it inside!" Uncle Yan Wen looked serious, took two colleagues into the room, and arranged for two workers to take care of the door, then retracted into the room and said, "It's a big deal." ”

Huang Hengda was taken aback and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Uncle Yan Wen sat down and recounted the conversation between the people he met on the mountain in the afternoon and the two of them. Huang Heng's face also changed greatly, and said: "These dog thieves, this is to bring disaster to the east, and they want to harm Mr. and harm us to the Defu!" ”

"Not really!" Uncle Yan Wen said: "It's pitiful to see that I happened to bump into me, otherwise the army of thieves Luo Rucai suddenly killed in Guide Mansion, and Mr. will definitely be tired of coping." ”

"Alas!" Another student said hatefully: "Our Yuyuan has only just begun to become large, and we can start a career for the ages when we see it, is it bad for the heavens?" ”

"Don't say it, put aside the meritorious ones first, let's pass the news to Mr. as soon as possible, so that Mr. can be prepared whether he is defending or fleeing, and the rest will be talked about when I see Mr." Huang Heng glanced at Uncle Yan Wen: "Uncle Wen, you found out about this matter, and only you can say it clearly, so you should go for a trip." ”

"It's good!" Uncle Yan Wen said: "However, Mr. is rigorous in his studies and pays attention to foolproof. Therefore, for the sake of insurance, I suggest that Captain Huang send another person, and the two of us will report to the German government one after the other, so as to avoid that if I have an accident, I will ......."

"Say no more." Huang Heng interrupted him: "This matter is urgent, you go, wait for a day I will send someone to report to Mr., this go to the north four miles to the mountain, and then two miles north is the Yellow River, our boat is still there, you will leave by boat early tomorrow morning, go down the Yellow River, and you can reach Guide Mansion in two days." ”

The Lao Longhai line is basically close to the Yellow River, they are in the mountains between Xingyang and Gongxian, but they are also very close to the Yellow River, and there are their special boats on the bank of the Yellow River, so it is very convenient to return to Defu.

Uncle Yan Wen knew that the matter was urgent, so he did not wait until the next morning, but took a boat down the river overnight, and arrived at Guide Mansion two days later.

After listening to Uncle Yan Wen's report, Su Baiyi's face was gloomy and his eyes were cold.

Uncle Yan Wen thought that Su Baiyi was really worried, so he persuaded him: "Sir, the thief army is strong, and there are nearly 200,000 thieves under Luo Rucai, if so many people besiege our Shangqiu City, I am afraid that the city will be difficult to hold, Mr. might as well ......"

Su Baiyi waved his hand, stood up from the chair, glanced at Uncle Yan Wen, and said, "Uncle Wen, you did a good job, if it wasn't for your advance notice, I'm afraid our Shangqiu City would really not be able to hold it." But since we know in advance that this Luo Ru is going to attack, hehe...... Just because he has only 100,000 homeless people who want to take down our Shangqiu, joke. ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Uncle Yan Wen looked at Su Baiyi and asked.

"Our Yuyuan is in Shangqiu, and your family business is in Shangqiu, so naturally we have to keep it." Su Baiyi patted him on the shoulder: "You can rest assured to go back and continue to work, I should also make some preparations." ”

In this era, it was extremely difficult to storm a city, but it was very easy to defend it.

When Emperor Chengzu was martyred, the prince Zhu Gaochi guarded Beijing, and the 500,000-strong army of Li Jinglong, the prince of the grass (bao) country, could not be attacked. Although the Shangqiu city wall is not as thick as Beijing, Luo Rucai's subordinates are homeless people, not regular troops, and it is naturally not easy to attack it.

What is the key to defending the city?

It is a confrontation between the will of the attacker and the defender, and it is difficult to attack the city unless the defending army lacks food and clothing.

Su Baiyi didn't have anything else in his hands, but he had a lot of silver.

If you have silver, you can buy food from the system, as well as vegetables, meat, medicine, weapons, and so on.

With such a big advantage, you can't hold a Guide Mansion?

Besides, Luo Rucai is still in Xingyang, even if he starts preparing now, it will take at least half a month from mobilizing the camp to coming to the gate of Guide Mansion.

Half a month is already a lot of preparation for Su Baiyi.
