Chapter 244: The action ahead collects the grain
This voice came, and the people who picked the horses were anxious, afraid that the good horses they liked would be snatched away, and the people who did not have the financial resources and guts to participate in betting on horses were curious to look at the people, wanting to see who had such great financial resources.
Betting on horses is not only dozens of horses for people to choose, each time it is a full thousand, no more, no less, if you want to buy them all, then you have to come up with 20,000 yuan.
The year before last, someone did this once, thinking that he could get a few thousand miles of horses, but 20,000 yuan was spent, and there was not even a thousand miles of horses among the 1,000 horses, and finally the 1,000 horses he bought were sold, and only more than 5,000 yuan of capital were returned, and the loss was that he could not pay any more.
At that time, this person came to ask why there are no thousands of horses, and people who are not afraid of things, no one said that there must be thousands of horses in the bet, no one forced anyone to buy horses, and they are willing to gamble and lose, there are no thousands of horses, but there are always more than 50 horses, and more than 100 horses.
With 20 guan, buy a horse of 100 guan, is it not less to earn 10 guan? There may also be a chance for military horses to appear here, and it is not bad to give them away.
In the end, I don't know what kind of means they used, the people who bought the horses slipped away, and the four horse shops in the east, west, south and north were still standing, some people said that the owner of the horse shop gave the local officials a thousand miles of horses, and some people said that the people who opened the horse shops had a big backing, and there was no conclusion for a while.
I didn't expect that today there was another person who wanted to buy all the horses, and everyone had the idea of watching the excitement, wanting to see what the final result was.
The two people on the horse today don't know which one is Soma, if the person behind is the owner, the front is naturally the Soma man under his hands, but it seems that the person in front is too young, no one believes that he can see the horse, is it the owner himself?
The people who entered the stable had not yet paid at this time, so naturally they could no longer bet on the horses, and walked out one by one angrily, looking at the new two, which could be described as murderous.
When the big deal came, the people of the horse shop invited the proprietor out, four horse dealers, four proprietors, the proprietor of the Donghua horse shop was a man who looked less than forty years old, the other three horse dealers were slightly older, and the old proprietor of the Donghua horse shop that everyone was expecting to see did not appear.
"The two of you are invited, but I don't know just now that the two of you said that you want to buy all the horses?" Yan Dongjia of Donghua Ma Xing asked with his hands in fists.
"Yes." The man on the horse in front turned over and dismounted, turned back to help the man on the horse behind, and replied casually.
Everyone looked at the two of them by the light of the lantern, and found that the clothes worn by the two people were really good, a robe of Shu brocade, the person with the identity of the master, and a round jade pendant with a copper coin on his waist, which was shaken by the light, blood red and blood red, if it was not dyed, it was valuable.
Yan Dongjia glanced at the two of them, and said: "According to the rules, you can't sell it back, can you think about it?" ”
"Yes, give money." The proprietor commanded, and the person next to him took out a Luo of flying money from the money bag on his shoulder, a total of twenty pieces, each of which was a thousand yuan.
After someone checked the flying money, after confirming it, there was a smile on the faces of the four proprietors, while writing notes, while letting people call the people who drove the horses, it seemed that the two could not drive the horses back by themselves, and could only spend money to invite people to catch up, if it was not too far, the horse shop would arrange people, and would not charge this money for the horses, after all, it was a big customer.
Ordered someone to bring tea to the best shed next to it for resting, and Yan Dongjia said to the old man on the other side: "I don't know what to call the distinguished guest, but look at the horse first?" ”
"Don't be expensive, you don't have to watch the horses, wait for the other horse markets to open, buy enough, and take them away." The proprietor flicked his robe and put the jade pendant on his lap, and his thumb and index finger naturally touched it at once, looking a little arrogant.
"Then I don't know where the Chen Dong family wants to go? If it's not too far away, if you don't rush to Henan Road in one go, you will immediately arrange someone to help you catch up, but Chen Dongjia still has to buy a few more horses that can catch your eyes? ”
Yan Dongjia looked at this old man Chen carefully again, and asked with a smile.
"En~! Buy, buy all the horses that are sold for a while, as long as the price is right, buy them all, I am going to build a horse farm in Luoyan Prefecture, if it is not troublesome, send it over there, oh, it seems that your horse shop here is not bad, so as to help me find other horses, which can be more than 30% more expensive than the market price, as many as you want, if there are mules and cattle and donkeys and other livestock. ”
Master Chen continued.
When the person next to him heard that it was Luo Yanzhou, he found that it was really not too far, and he drove the horse slowly, and it took half a month to arrive, but he didn't understand what this person was buying other livestock for?
Everyone thought so, and Yan Dongjia also asked, "I don't know if Chen Dongjia has the use of buying such cattle and mules?" ”
"The cow is killed...... It is used to plough the land, donkeys and mules are naturally transporting bean feed, and horses only eat grass, is there a difficulty? ”
Master Chen picked up the tea bowl and drank tea, and began to wait for the other party to reply.
Before Yan Dongjia could speak, one of the other people not far away couldn't help but ask: "This Master Chen, if I have the livestock you want, will I also buy it at 30% more than the market price?" ”
"You? Hehe, how many do you have? You can't let me go with you, I don't have much time to do. ”
"Yan Dongjia confessed, Master Chen, don't look at me not much, but there are many people here, one person has found ten for you, so many people, there are thousands, not to mention how can ten be handled, but let's say it first, the price of grain has risen now, some time ago the Zhang family in Yizhou took away a lot of mules, the market price is expensive, and it seems that some people have sold it again recently, if it is ...... then"
"If it's expensive, you can buy it at the market price plus 30%, you can write the paperwork first, and there will be a certain mortgage there, if you don't accept it, you won't lose it when the time comes, okay?" Chen Dongjia didn't wait for this person to finish speaking, and made a decision very magnificently.
As soon as he said this, the people around him didn't buy horses, and they didn't sell horses, but they had to buy them for this old man for a while, and it was important to quickly find livestock elsewhere to make money.
Master Chen seemed very happy, drank a bowl of tea, and did not dislike the smell here, so he walked around with his subordinates.
"Go, tell my father, just say that there is a big family, there is money, but the blood jade jade pendant carved with a unicorn on his body is not afraid that he can't afford it."
When Yan Dongjia followed behind, he gave an order to the person next to him.
When Master Chen arrived at noon, he bought all the horses sold here, told him to come and collect them again in two days, and left with his men and the people sent by the horse shop to drive the horses.
The other people came to the appointed place, and suddenly found that the old owner of Donghua Ma was also there, and they stepped forward to greet one after another, and it was not easy to meet this old man once.
Yan Laodong, who couldn't show up a few times a year, smiled and promised everyone, waiting for everyone to arrive, then coughed and was ready to speak, and the other people very consciously stopped communicating with others, and looked at Yan Laodong's body, waiting for him to speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I came to you today, because of what Chen Dongjia said, some of you may know where my family and horses come from, and some of you don't know, but whether you know it or not, I have to say that this is an opportunity, even if his surname Chen is not needed in the end, the mortgage left behind is enough for me to make a fortune."
The horses of the Donghua Horse Shop are indeed smuggled from other places, not only the Donghua Horse Dealership, but also the horses of the other three big horse dealers, the horses are not easy to come, but they are coming, but there is a rule over there, that is, send the money over first, and see the money to see the horses.
As the saying goes, if you have money, you will make such a big deal, if it is still monopolized by my four horse dealers, I think you will not feel good in your heart, and the four horse dealers are estimated to be over, then I will talk about this, if you are willing to take money to buy horses from elsewhere and then sell them, you can hand over the money first, what kind of horses do you want to buy, how much, you can ask my son.
When you are old, if you say a few words, your body and bones will not be able to stand it, you eat first, and I will retire from the old man. ”
After Yan Laodong finished speaking, it was as if his body was really bad, he was helped to leave, and everyone didn't care if he was really like this, the reverse road meant that he came out, as for whether to go or not, it was not for anyone to care.
Some people immediately want to go home and get money, some people are afraid that the surname Chen is a liar, in case he mortgages not enough to buy too many horses, what should he do, and some feel that they should borrow some money, the four big Malaysian banks are rich, if they have less money, they will earn less, who knows which year and month there will be such an opportunity?
One by one, with different ideas, the wine was drunk absent-mindedly, and they ate hastily and dispersed, while the proprietors of the other three horse shops stayed behind to discuss with their master how many horses they would buy this time.
When some people in Datang are worried about horses, there are also people in Tubo who are worried about horses.
After all, Luftuta didn't want to retreat, and after thinking hard for a day, he came up with a way that he thought was good, that is, to eat a logistics escort team for the Tang Army, and this team was not his own people, and if he died, he would die.
He wants to form a cavalry team, at least 10,000 horsemen, it is estimated that he will distance himself from Mumu Hushu, and when the logistics are eaten, these 10,000 horsemen can be dispatched, the nearest wind direction has always been the north wind, and he is also going north, and then the cavalry's bow and crossbow will take advantage of the wind direction, and he doesn't believe that the little girl can always guess how to arrange it.
But he didn't have a horse, so he went to Mumu Hushu and asked, there were only two thousand horsemen over there, originally there were five thousand, and one thousand needed to be left to guard the camp, and the other two thousand, needless to say, others also knew, the horses were all riding under the Tang army.
If you don't protect the camp tent on your side, you can still make up 5,000 horsemen, and if you fight more than 9,000, it's not reliable.
Mu Mu Hushu was still thinking about how to gather the cavalry, Wang Juan had already taken more than 9,000 light cavalry around in a big circle, and ran behind the two Tubo people, but did not attack the Tubo logistics troops, but went directly to the south, and cut trees in a forest by the weak water river to pave the way.
The cavalry in the logistics was in a hurry, and immediately rode back and reported the news to the Tibetan headquarters.
At this time, the Tibetans found out how difficult the nine-year-old girl was to deal with Juanjuan, so they had to organize people to intercept them, so as not to be crossed by them and go deep into the interior of Tibet.
Three days later, the government army of Pengzhou Mansion also dispatched, as soon as the 2,000-person Modao team appeared, Tubo became nervous, the iron cavalry did not dare to rush casually, the scouts ran around, and then the Pengzhou cavalry came out, and the cavalry of 20,000 people roared straight to the weak water river.
The Tubo army has already lined up on the other side of the weak water river, trying to stop the Tang army on the bank of the weak water river, if the people of the three divisions are still there at this time and have not been led away, the Tubo will not be so anxious.
As soon as the two were put into formation, Zhang Zhong asked Li Xun, Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao to send troops, plus the people gathered from the local area, and arrived in Pengzhou together.
Another 10,000 people secretly left behind their backs, detoured, and headed towards the village with tunnels, at this time there were countless eagles flying over the battlefield, and the eagle trainers in Sanshui County, who had just arrived, joined the army without even resting.
As soon as Zhang Zhong came out with the people, he immediately opened the battle line and scattered in all directions, and then all the people waved the guys in their hands and began to harvest the autumn grain from Tubo.
By the time Wang Juan led his troops all the way to harass and slowly arrived in the desert, Zhang Zhong had already harvested all the grain on this side and withdrew to Pengzhou City.
The people of Pengzhou watched the truckloads of grain transported back, their eyes widened and they were speechless, although they were still a little short of the best time to mature, but that was not bad, they all thought, the little baby of the Zhang family is bold, and Zhang Zhong, the assassin of the history, is also not small, and he collects other people's food under the nose of the enemy, which is amazing.
Old man Bi and the three of them were also surprised, when they borrowed troops from Zhang Zhong, they thought that Zhang Zhong was worried about the baby at home and wanted to go to reinforcements, and persuaded them twice, but they didn't persuade them, Li Xun was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and he went out to collect grain.
Not to mention that they didn't expect it at the beginning, even Zhang Zhong did the same, riding a horse for two days without delaying time, mainly because of the opportunities created by his son and daughter-in-law.
I don't know how the two babies can still calculate here when they are being chased over there, they actually took the cavalry around in a big circle, and made a move to turn around and shake off the two Tubo people, giving people the feeling that they wanted to come over and cooperate with the Tang Army to flank the Tubo iron cavalry.
That means to forcibly climb the mountain, and Tubo can only send troops over.
Wang Juan used the power to turn around, then shook back, and continued to contain the other two, and the grain here in Tubo was harvested.
The Mo sword soldiers and cavalry all went back, waiting there, not knowing if they wanted to find another opportunity to attack.
"Where is this still a baby, it is clearly a famous general, and the marching formation is superb, I knew that I would follow to see it."
Old man Zhang excitedly *** began to say to Old Man Bi and Old Man Yao.
Old man Bi is also in a sluggishness, he has seen strong winds and waves in his life, he has to admit that the impact caused by Wang Juan to him is too great, and he can use tactics to such an extent, it seems that there are not a few in the world, not to mention tactics, but he can also cooperate with Pengzhou to achieve strategic results.
Old man Yao blinked his eyes twice and said, "What did you say about the news sent by the emperor?" said that it was to see the ability of the juan, whether he could adjust his tactics at any time after making a move here, and said that the soldiers were impermanent and the water was impermanent, and a famous general must have such ability.
It seems that the emperor doesn't have to worry, where is Juan Juan an is an ordinary famous general, any general who can command the army can cooperate with her, he will feel very comfortable, move with the situation, without the slightest reluctance, and also arrange with one more hand to collect the grain on this side of the weak water river in Tubo. ”
"Yes, it seems that according to the meaning of the Zhang family, the juanjuan is hidden among the ordinary people, such a general, will not be dispatched at will in the future, when there will be no generals available, when can the juanjuan be sent out, a battle will be decided, this sword is too sharp, people are reluctant to use it."
Old man Bi's eyes looked to the west and said.
The people in charge of this coordinated harvest in Yizhou also excitedly returned to the village and talked about the things over there, because Zhang Zhong existed, they knew more things than ordinary people, and they added fuel to the deeds of the daughter-in-law of the assassin there.
The patriarchs of each village breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered someone to send the good things in the village to Zhang Zhong's brother, and at this time they really regarded Zhang Zhong as their own brother.
It's not just that Zhang Zhong is with them and calls him brothers, but Zhang Zhong's peaceful attitude towards them, they used to think that Zhang Zhong was afraid that they would not be able to manage it, so they did this, but now it seems that it is not the case at all.
Zhang Zhong's daughter-in-law was able to lead the Tang army to victory in a hundred battles, would she be afraid of their 4,000 people like other officials who had come over before?
Listening to the person who understands military affairs, if the army can be used like this, it is definitely an existence like the god of war, that is to say, if Zhang Zhong is willing, he will turn his face up, and all the villages in Yizhou will be completed.
Good man, good brother, good officer.
The people of the village finally recognized Zhang Zhong's identity as an official and recognized the absolute rule of the Tang Dynasty.
Tubo also knew the situation, but they couldn't think of any good way, what they regretted the most was that they arranged for spies to break the embankment of Wangjiang, otherwise, Juan Juan and his family were still governing the place in Shuzhou, how could Li Longji send them to take care of logistics?
If they don't take care of logistics, Juan Juan won't go out and take over when Guo Tu is beaten and has no power to fight back, if she doesn't take over, how can her side lose so many troops? How could it be like this, being led away?
A generation of famous generals may be silent forever, they will not be discovered, and they don't have to be so embarrassed, and they dare to be asked by others.
Lufututa and Mumu Hushu were also questioned, asking them how they let Tang Jun go.
Luftuta couldn't say anything in the face of questioning, he had only eaten one meal today, and he was still hungry, and when Wang Juan's troops returned, he didn't forget to attack another group of troops escorting grain and grass.
"Where is this or where I am in Tibet? This is her backyard, fight if you want, play if you want, go when you want, come and go like the wind, I know what it means to be difficult to know in the art of war in the Tang Dynasty, and what it means to move like thunder, Fenglin Volcano, a good Fenglin Volcano, let her use it is unpredictable. ”
Luftuta thumped his thigh vigorously and said with a sad face on his face, and the herald next to him carefully controlled his breathing, so as not to let the general vent his breath out of his body.
The herald was silent, but Rovtuta insisted on finding him and asked him: "Do you say, am I incompetent?" Didn't they have the same family to collect the grain? Isn't it the same to shrink back to defend on the side of the weak water river? They were afraid of the Tang Army's sword, and they couldn't transfer the soldiers.
Am I not afraid of the Tang Army's light cavalry? Can I command my soldiers like an arm? If they weren't worried about the demons, why should they send troops to prevent it, if they didn't take precautions, how could they not have troops to fight the harvesting team led by Zhang Zhong in Yizhou? You say, do you blame me? Say yes. ”
"No, don't complain, they all complain that the devil is too powerful, and they all say that they don't get tired of cheating, who knows what she will do with people?" The herald was frightened, fearing that the general would be upset and beheaded himself.
"Yes, it's just that she's too powerful, whoever kills the people of Wangjiang, whoever comes up with the idea, who should bear it, shouldn't look for me, I don't have that much ability, but I know now, how does she know how our army is arranged, the eagle, it's the eagle flying in the sky, I still want to shoot it down, you say?"
Luftuta's state at the moment is very unstable, and the words he says are also quite jumpy.
"Yes, yes, I heard, after the Tang Army dispatched, it was transferred back and forth, and there were countless eagles flying in the sky, no matter how I moved, the other party could respond accordingly, that is, the eagle was helping, and in our sky, for several days, there were eagles flying, and it was it that told the Tang Army about our formation."
The herald cautiously moved to the tent door and said softly.
Luftuta didn't mean to kill the herald, but slapped his thigh again and said: "Yes, it's the eagle, it's the eagle that is reporting, then you say, you need to use light horses to deal with light horses, and what do you need to use to deal with eagles?" ”
"Yes, with a bow and arrow." The herald responded.
"No~ Yes, you also have to use an eagle for an eagle, it flies so high, can you shoot it? Send someone back and ask, do I have any falcons in Tubo, don't want ordinary falcons, it's useless, the ones flying in the sky are definitely not ordinary eagles, how much money does Zhang Zhong have in his family? He can send an ordinary eagle to his daughter-in-law, find it for me, find it.
When I have an eagle, I won't be afraid of her, at least I won't be attacked by her, you say? ”
Luftuta rejects the herald's idea and speaks his own judgment.
"Yes, yes, it's eagle to eagle, then I'm going out to give orders?" The herald found an opportunity to leave.
"Go, go."
