Chapter 202: Human Trafficking
Zhang Xiang led the army back to Bingzhou, and the situation in Bingzhou was similar to what Zhang Xiang expected, Zhang Xiang saw a field on the way back, and the wheat seedlings in it were destroyed, apparently caused by the heavy rain a few days ago.
Zhang Xiang had already expected such a situation, but it was another thing to actually see it, Zhang Xiang immediately went to the state capital, the officials of the state capital were very busy, and Zhang Xiang did find a lot of things for them on this expedition.
So much so that Cheng Yu was caught by Yin Kui, Zhang Xiang was originally looking for Yin Kui, but he didn't expect to see Cheng Yu, as soon as Cheng Yu saw Zhang Xiang, "Lord, you are here to find Brother Yin!" He is not in Jinyang now, there was a rainstorm a few days ago, and he went to the place to take a look. “
Zhang Xiang: "It's okay if Zhongde is here, what about the prisoners I got back, and how are those Hu people who automatically took refuge settled, and how long will we use what we have seized." “
Zhang Xiang asked three questions in one breath, and ordinary people really didn't know how to answer, but fortunately Zhang Xiang asked Cheng Yu, "The men in the lord's batch of captives have been dealt with by us, and these things are all done by the newly surrendered Hu people, and the grain seized by the lord can last for three months." “
Zhang Xiang understood what Cheng Yu meant by the treatment, that is, killing, "What does it mean to kill prisoners, what about women and children?" And whose idea is this, and how is it different from what was said at the beginning! “
At this time, Yang Xu also heard the news and rushed over, "This matter is my idea, the lord has brought back too many prisoners, and they can't be used at all, not to mention that there is no need to use them in vain, and there is no need to waste food, so the male captives are useless, so I will let people deal with them, and the women and children are still there." “
Kill it, kill it, Zhang Xiang didn't want to pursue anyone, not to mention Yang Xu's idea, his idea Zhang Xiang would generally not object, "Didn't women and children sell?" “
Yang Xu: "It's not easy for us to come forward with this kind of thing, and even if we want to sell it, someone has to buy it!" The dark forces under our command have some channels, but they are very scattered, and if they come forward and reveal their identities, it will really be a big loss. “
Hearing Yang Xu say this, Zhang Xiang also felt that he was taking it for granted, Zhang Xiang didn't care about the reputation, but he cared about his dark forces, and it seemed that he really couldn't let them make a move. "In that case, then we will sell it ourselves, we can sell it to the Hu people, women and children should be in demand with the Hu people." Zhang Xiang could only think that the wool came out of the sheep.
Zhang Xiang's method Yang Xu felt a little unauthentic, he just caught someone and sold it back, this deal is too much to say, but thinking about it is indeed the best way.
Yang Xu: "It's okay to say that women and girls can be sold to Hu Ren, but what about those boys? When they grow up, they will be our enemies. "Zhang Xiang really didn't think about the difference between men and women." Boy, let's stay! I'll solve this myself, and you can find someone to do the rest first. Zhang Xiang left the state capital, went to the camp to find Lai Ke, and asked him where Lai San was?
Lai San may be used to it, no one knows where he is except his relatives? Zhang Xiang is a little troublesome to investigate, and Lai San can also be regarded as Zhang Xiang's person, but he is in a semi-detached state.
After all, Lai San's identity is a bit special, and Zhang Xiang doesn't care what he usually does, he will only look for him when he has something, so Lai San is busy with his own affairs during this time?
Lai Ke will not hide it, but after Lai Ke finished speaking, he also asked, "Is there something wrong with the lord, do you want your subordinates to help, and the subordinates of the Hu people will not catch up when they go on the expedition." “
Lai Ke did not participate in the battle against Hu, Zhang Xiang really didn't know, Zhang Xiang mobilized nearly sixty percent of the army, it seems that Lai Ke's luck is not very good, "You can't control this matter, train well!" “
Zhang Xiang went to find Lai San in person, Zhang Xiang didn't understand how the place where Lai San was hiding were all these dark corners, and didn't he understand the truth of the big hidden in the city? Let Zhang Xiang find it easy.
Even Zhang Xiang didn't know that there was such a hidden place in Jinyang, Zhang Xiang personally came to the door to greet Lai San naturally, "Lord, why are you here, are you going to sell something!" You haven't looked for me in a long time. “
Lai San's words are true, since Zhang Xiang has a dark power, the funeral goods that Ye Shan got have not been sold by Lai San, "Is the third master very smart?" Know what I'm doing today? “
In fact, Lai San was just talking about it just now, after all, Zhang Xiang's dark force Lai San had still been in contact, and it was much stronger than his own small business, "Lord, what did you let your subordinates sell!" “
Zhang Xiang: "I have a group of little boys under my command, and you want to help me sell them." "Lai San didn't expect Zhang Xiang to become a state pastor, and this business is getting bigger and bigger! It turned out to be an underground thing, and now it is directly starting to sell people.
Lai San: "The lord's subordinates have never done this kind of business!" And the market is different in different places, the boy is very valuable, you better ask for another smart! Your subordinates don't sell you for compensation. “
Zhang Xiang: "This matter can only be done by no one except you and me, it doesn't matter if you lose money, just sell it, I just need food." Lai San couldn't get away with this kind of thing, so he had to agree.
Lai San has not left Jinyang since he came to Bingzhou, and he knows the situation in Jinyang very clearly, "The boys that the lord said are all foreigners!" “
Zhang Xiang: "Does the third master know a lot?" Then I don't have to waste my tongue, you know where people are, I'll say hello to the subordinates, you can just go and ask for people yourself, but get it out quickly, I don't want to waste food on them. “
Zhang Xiang left, but left the hot potato to Lai San, Lai San has been mixed all his life, and he is not resistant to selling people, but there are many ways to sell people.
If it was dozens of children, Lai San would have helped Zhang Xiang get it a long time ago, but there are more children on Zhang Xiang's side than this! With such a large amount of fresh goods, it is not something that can be sold by saying it.
Lai San had to find Zhang Hao, Lai San wanted to get rid of this matter through Zhang Hao's relationship, Lai San was also very happy to visit Zhang Hao, since Zhang Xiang became the pastor of the state, his old friends rarely came to the door.
Zhang Hao: "Third brother, you rarely show up, it just so happens that I have good wine here, and we two brothers have a good drink." "It's also important to talk about things, and Lai San is not stunned.
After three rounds of food and wine, when the two of them were dizzy, Lai San spoke, "Brother, in fact, the third brother actually came here this time to ask for something." Zhang Hao had already seen it.
Zhang Hao: "Third brother, we have known each other for many years, just say something!" Brother, I will definitely help you. Lai San spent a long time trying to say this, and he didn't drink this wine in vain.
Zhang Hao's alcohol consumption is very large, Lai San vomited three times before Zhang Hao was happy, "The main bus gave me a difficult thing, he asked me to sell a group of people, so I want to ask my brother to help me push this matter away." “
As soon as Zhang Hao heard the word "lord", he knew that it was Zhang Xiang's business, Zhang Xiang's affairs Zhang Hao never cared about, mainly because he couldn't manage it, in order not to make trouble for Zhang Xiang, Zhang Hao didn't inquire.
Originally, Zhang Hao didn't want to help, but when he heard that Zhang Xiang was going to sell people, Zhang Hao decided that it was better to take care of it, "Third brother, I can only try, but the result is uncertain." “
Zhang Hao didn't say it to death, Zhang Xiang is filial, but Zhang Xiang is not an obedient master, Zhang Hao has never seen him change the things he decided since he was a child, let alone now.
Zhang Hao rested for a while and woke up, changed his clothes and went to find Zhang Xiang, but unfortunately Zhang Xiang was not in the house, Zhang Xiang was busy at this time? He hasn't been back to the state capital for more than a month, and Zhang Xiang still has some things to deal with.
It was very late when Zhang Xiang returned to the house, if Yin Ting hadn't been waiting for Zhang Xiang and didn't know that Zhang Hao had come to the door? Early the next morning, Zhang Xiang went to visit Zhang Hao, but he didn't expect to meet Zhang Fei again, "Big brother, I have lifted the restriction order, why are you still eating and drinking here!" "Third brother, this rice is fragrant! Third brother, why are you here? "Zhang Fei knows that Zhang Xiang doesn't eat breakfast, especially when he just comes back from the grassland, Zhang Xiang should sleep lazy at this time!
Zhang Xiang: "My father had something to do with me yesterday, so I just got up early in the morning, what about my father?" At this time, Zhang Hao also arrived in the front hall and happened to see Zhang Xiang and Zhang Hao's two brothers.
Zhang Hao said to his son that there was no need to hide it, "Xiang'er, did you let the third brother do something for you, and it is still a selling business, why did you start to participate in this kind of business?" You have a big business now, and you still covet this little money. “
Zhang Fei didn't know what was wrong, he was very smart in front of outsiders, and when he saw Zhang Hao, he became stupid, so he blurted out directly, "What about the thousands of children under the third brother of Xiaoqian?" “
Zhang Fei suddenly found that after he finished saying this, the atmosphere on the table was wrong, Zhang Hao stared at Zhang Xiang, but Zhang Xiang stared at himself, Zhang Fei reacted immediately, "Father, I've eaten well, and the child will go first." “
Zhang Xiang turned his head and looked directly at Zhang Hao's gaze, "It was Lai San who said it, in fact, it is not a big deal, if it is a big matter, I will not hand it over to Lai San, those are the children of the Hu people." “
Zhang Hao: "Hu Ren's children are not children, and they are not raised by their parents." Bai Shi also walked out when she heard the movement, she didn't want to see anything unpleasant between Zhang Xiang and Zhang Hao.
Zhang Xiang: "They are all orphans, and sooner or later they will have to find a home, and I can't raise them for nothing?" My father should know about my side of the year. Zhang Hao slammed his fist on the table.
Almost knocked over the table, "Where did so many orphans come from?" Zhang Hao obviously didn't trust what Zhang Xiang said, Zhang Xiang knew Zhang Hao very well, if things were not explained clearly, Zhang Hao would not give up.
Zhang Xiang: "It is said that these orphans are Hu people, I went to the grassland some time ago, father, you should also know, I led troops to exterminate several tribes, of course there are many children." “
Zhang Xiang said it lightly, but Zhang Hao could imagine what happened, "That can't be sold!" People are not goods, and this kind of business is best not to be obscure. “
Zhang Xiang: "There's no way not to sell it, these children are waiting to starve to death!" My food and grass are also very scarce, and I can't feed the idlers, let alone the Hu people, I am afraid that they will not be able to feed them. “
Zhang Xiang got up and left, Zhang Hao didn't know what to say, he could only watch Zhang Xiang leave, although Zhang Xiang was very angry, but he wouldn't kill him, and he still had to rely on him to sell people?
And there is also Zhang Hao's relationship, Zhang Xiang can't do it anymore, Lai San looked for Zhang Hao again, knowing that Zhang Xiang didn't agree, and he also knew that he couldn't help but accept the matter, otherwise Zhang Xiang wouldn't let him go.
Zhang Xiang did those things in the grassland, he had heard of it, in fact, Lai San regretted finding Zhang Hao last night, Zhang Xiang didn't pursue Lai San and felt that he had escaped, Lai San didn't dare to be clever.
Otherwise, his old life will be played to death by himself, Lai San immediately set out to deal with those Hu people's children, but Lai San's road is not wide, so there are not many people who sell it, and it is three melons and two dates every day.
Zhang Xiang didn't urge, he could always sell it slowly, in addition to selling people, Zhang Xiang also sold some war horses, of course, those good horses Zhang Xiang didn't sell, what he sold were some bad horses in the army.
Zhang Xiang's trip to the grassland, in addition to the people, only horses are the most abundant, and the war horses in the state are also sought-after goods even if they are inferior horses, and the princes and big families around the country are rushing to buy them, not only that, Zhang Xiang also impermanently supports Zhang Yan A batch of war horses.
The enemy of the enemy is his friend, Zhang Yan is Yuan Shao's trouble, naturally it is his own help, if he doesn't take this opportunity to weaken Yuan Shao, he doesn't know who to attack when Yuan Shao recovers?
Zhang Xiang's forces are next to Yuan Shao, there will be a battle between the two parties sooner or later, Zhang Xiang is also the first to strike, Zhang Yan has the support of Zhang Xiang's war horse, and the harm to Jizhou is greater.
However, Zhang Yan is not a stingy person, and he also gave Zhang Xiang a batch of treasures, Zhang Xiang really hoped that what he sent was food, but Zhang Xiang also knew that this was just an extravagant hope.
In terms of grain and grass, Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army is much poorer than his own Bingzhou army, and Yuan Shao also found that the cavalry under Zhang Yan has emerged, and Yuan Shao's subordinates are capable of producing people, and it can be seen at a glance that Zhang Yan's cavalry is riding a Bingzhou horse.
Yuan Shao didn't have to guess to know that it was Zhang Xiang's hand, since Zhang Xiang fled Youzhou, Yuan Shao guessed that Zhang Xiang would not give up, but Yuan Shao didn't expect Zhang Xiang to choose to raise a Kou so shamelessly.
Yuan Shao faced everyone, "After we finish solving the Black Mountain thieves, we will send troops to Bingzhou." Everyone jumped out to oppose it, and this time Yuan Shao's strategists coincided.
Tian Feng: "My lord, Qingzhou has also been plagued by the remnants of the Yellow Turban, as long as we send troops, we can easily take Qingzhou, and Zhang Xiang sent troops to plunder the grassland a few days ago, and got a large number of war horse prisoners, and it is very unwise to be an enemy now." “
Xu You looked at Yuan Shao's face, and knew that Tian Feng's words had stimulated him again, this time Xu You decided to wipe Tian Feng's ass once, "My lord, we just signed an alliance with Zhang Xiang, and rashly sending troops is not good for your reputation!" It's not good to pass it on! Zhang Xiang: We will clean up sooner or later, but because one Zhang Xiang affects the great cause of the lord, it will not be good. (To be continued.) )
