On an early autumn night, the air should have been very refreshing, but at this time, the strong smell of blood destroyed this harmonious mood and made the entire clear night sky look a little gloomy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The results were quickly counted.

In this battle, only 5 of Li Yuanqing's personal soldiers were slightly wounded, no one was killed, more than 110 strongman corpses were killed, more than 200 weapons of various kinds were seized, and all kinds of goods and silver added up to a few hundred taels.

The corpses of these strongmen have been gathered in the open space in the corner of the middle courtyard, and dozens of turtle slaves are carrying buckets, diligently washing away the bloodstains left by the fierce battle just now.

But at this time, the situation was unclear, the defensive line of the pro-soldiers had not been withdrawn, and the various sentry posts were still in full array.

In this night attack, these strong men did not dare to be too blatant, and did not set fire, and the entire Zhuangzi was hardly damaged.

Li Yuanqing walked around the battlefield, his face a little gloomy.

Li Yuanqing has absolute confidence in the soldiers under his command, and the battle situation has long been expected.

It's just that these strongmen are so bold that they dare to do it at the feet of the Son of Heaven and under the nose of more than ten miles outside the capital city, which makes Li Yuanqing feel very bad.

This is also fortunate to be his Li Yuanqing's Zhuangzi, and he has a lot of personal soldiers, otherwise, if he is replaced by someone else, how can he resist this strongman of six or seven hundred?

At this time, Niu Gensheng walked quickly in front of Li Yuanqing and said in a low voice: "General, that Qi has short legs." Their old nest is in the Confucian Zhuangzi, twenty miles to the east. The Confucian family Zhuangzi is the property of Wang Yuan, the deputy general of the Beijing camp. ”

"Wang Yuan? Jingying? ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help frowning.

He thought that he would have an idea, but he didn't expect that he would be involved with Jingying, and it was a group of uncles.

However, Li Yuanqing instantly understood that if there was no strong person to provide shelter, how could these strong people, just a bunch of rabble, dare to have such courage?

For a moment, Li Yuanqing couldn't help sneering slightly, turned his head to Niu Gensheng and said, "Quickly send someone to contact the camp outside Guangqu Gate." Before noon tomorrow, I will know the details of this king. ”

"Yes." Niu Gensheng didn't dare to slack off, so he hurried to do it.

At this time, Yang Jiao~ Niang, accompanied by the two maids, walked quickly over here, "Yuanqing, are you okay?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's okay, it's all over." Is Saburo asleep? ”

Yang Jiao~ Seeing that Li Yuanqing was in good condition and was not injured, she relieved herself, "I'm already asleep." Two nurses were accompanying him. By the way, Yuan Qing, have you found out who they are? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "It's just a few little thieves." Let's go back and rest. ”

Yang Jiao~ Seeing that Li Yuanqing said it lightly, Yang Jiao~ Mother relaxed a little, grabbed Li Yuanqing's arm tightly, and walked towards the backyard house.

Although he was a little unhappy, he took a hot bath comfortably, looked at his charming wife and lovely children, Li Yuanqing's mood was a little better, and he hugged Yang Jiao~ Niang and San Lang to rest.

…………

The night passed quickly, and no further anomalies occurred.

But last night's incident made Yang Jiao~ Niang feel very bad, early in the morning, she insisted on returning to the city, and all the manpower in Zhuangzi here will also be withdrawn.

Li Yuanqing thought about it for a while, and quickly agreed to Yang Jiao~Niang's plan, and the group returned to Jingshi City as soon as possible, but in Zhuangzi, Li Yuanqing left 50 personal soldiers.

On the one hand, to dispose of the corpses of these strongmen, on the other hand, to take advantage of him Li Yuanqing, even if he is the deputy general of the Beijing camp, how can the matter be ended so easily?

Yang Jiao ~ Niang and his entourage were escorted by 50 personal soldiers and returned directly to the city, but Li Yuanqing took Niu Gensheng and 20 personal soldiers to the cargo camp outside Guangqu Gate.

At this time, it was exactly 9 o'clock, and Fan Yongdou had already rushed over, commanding dozens of servants to carry the goods.

Nearly 300,000 taels of goods is not a small amount, and they have to pack up for at least three days.

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, Fan Yongdou couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "General Li, why is it so early today?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Go to Zhuangzi outside the city and take a turn." Shopkeeper Fan, have you had breakfast? If you have free time, can you have a cup of morning tea with Li? ”

The soldiers have already begun to investigate the details of this Wang Yuan through the Sanfu Inn and the turtle slave, but Fan Yongdou is scheming, and Li Yuanqing also wants to understand something through his mouth.

Li Yuanqing wanted to invite him to have morning tea, Fan Yongdou couldn't help but be overjoyed, if it was in normal times, this was something he couldn't do with all his efforts.

Hurriedly smiled: "General Li is very loving, how dare Fan disobey?" ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

"Shopkeeper Fan, please." Li Yuanqing smiled and invited Fan Yongdou to the military camp on the side.

When they came to the big tent, the two guests and hosts sat down, and the firefighters hurried to work, and after a while, a few small dishes that were not exquisite, but full of portions, were served.

Two fried eggs, a stack of small pickles, a plate of fried bacon slices, a bowl of gruel, and two hot mutton pancakes, one for Li Yuanqing and Fan Yongdou.

This is the standard configuration of officers above the general level of the Changsheng Battalion, and if there is no accident, Li Yuanqing is basically the same configuration.

Ordinary soldiers basically have this configuration, but their bacon slices are less, and they may also be fried horse meat, pancake fillings, and according to the situation, they will be replaced with cheaper pork, chicken, etc.

The food is not exquisite, but the nutritional mix is well balanced and the colors are beautiful, which will whet your appetite at a glance.

Fan Yongdou's eyes also lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "General Li is really a person who knows heaven and earth!" This meal is very good, very good. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly picked up the pancake and took a bite, and praised it repeatedly.

As Fan Yongdou, dealing with these 'mud-legged' officers has long been no longer a day or two, a year or two.

If he could not reach a tacit understanding with the generals at the border gates, it would not have been possible to realize it at all.

It's just that Fan Yongdou has traveled south and north for so many years, but he has never eaten such a simple but refreshing breakfast as in Li Yuanqing's camp, the key is that the taste is quite good, it can be compared to the chef in the restaurant.

The so-called 'glimpse of the whole leopard'.

Li Yuanqing has such a subtle grasp of the details of life, not extravagant, not gorgeous, and not wasteful, but it can make people eat well, not to mention, he has a grasp of other aspects.

Fan Yongdou felt more and more how subtle his move was.

is good friends with Li Yuanqing, even if he can't open up the trade route in southern Liaoning, at least, the two have a friendship and are familiar with each other, and when there is some kind of indistinguishable trouble in the future, Li Yuanqing is his biggest reliance and trump card!

In front of an old fox like Fan Yongdou, Li Yuanqing did not deliberately hold it up, and talked to him with a smile while eating, asking about the transportation of the goods.

Businessmen come first in the pursuit of profit.

Marx once gave the most detailed interpretation of the pursuit of profits by businessmen in "Capital".

Although Li Yuanqing hated Fan Yongdou and hated him for making this country's difficult fortune, he would not look down on him.

In fact, with the energy of the Fan family, even if they were ordinary leaders, they really weren't necessarily their opponents.

At this time, Fan Yongdou can help Li Yuanqing, and to some extent, they are on the same line.

As Taizu famously said, 'unite all the forces that can be united'.

Li Yuanqing seemed to be in full swing at this time, but that was only in southern Liaoning.

In Beijing, in the court, his foundation is still too shallow.

If you want to go further, you must dig your roots deep into the land under your feet, and the more solid you are, the higher you can fly in the future.

'Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time'.

There are many roads through the city of Rome.

But if you haven't arrived in Rome yet, you are thinking about how you will enjoy it when you get there, how is this possible?

In this regard, even if the situation is very good, Li Yuanqing still has a very clear understanding.

Fan Yongdou was very accustomed to Li Yuanqing's soft attitude, and after eating breakfast, this guy's smile never stopped.

"General Li, you are a righteous person with a heart for the world, and Fan will not hide some words." Fan Yongdou looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile, as if he meant to strike while the iron was hot.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Shopkeeper Fan praised it." If the shopkeeper Fan has something, he can say it to Yuan Qing. ”

Fan Yongdou hurriedly smiled: "General Li, Fan Mouguan General Li's goods, there is still half of the goods, and the condition is quite good." If it is convenient for General Li, Fan wants to get some goods from General Li's side. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and took a sip of tea, "Shopkeeper Fan, if this matter is ordinary, Yuanqing will agree, and it will be fine." But Shopkeeper Fan, you also know that there are still some accounts that have not been sorted out clearly by Yuanqing and the Qu family, and these goods can be regarded as top accounts. However, Mr. Fan, with the beginning of our good cooperation this time, there are still many opportunities for us to cooperate. ”

"Hey, hey! General Li, this is Fan's short-sightedness. Blame me, blame me! Fan should punish himself with a cup. Fan Yongdou said, smiling and taking a sip of tea.

The two looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, there was a noise outside the tent, and someone was shouting outside, wanting to see him Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, who dared to come to his barracks in this big morning?

Fan Yongdou's face was also a little displeased, he and Li Yuanqing drank morning tea here properly, who the hell doesn't have long eyes, dare to come here to destroy?

"Niu Gensheng!"

Li Yuanqing exhaled.

After a moment, Niu Gensheng rushed in, "General." ”

"What happened?" Li Yuanqing said unhappily.

Niu Gensheng glanced at Li Yuanqing, then glanced at Fan Yongdou next to him, and stopped talking.

The corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth turned up slightly, but he shouted: "You fucking ink ball!" Shopkeeper Fan is not an outsider, if you have something to say, you can say it directly! ”

Fan Yongdou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but be overjoyed for a moment, Li Yuanqing said this, he was comfortable in his heart.

"Yes!"

Niu Gensheng hurriedly said: "General, it's Wang Yuan, the deputy general of the Beijing camp, who asked to see you outside the tent!" ”

In fact, just now, Li Yuanqing had already heard Wang Yuan's personal soldiers report to their homes, so for Li Yuanqing, didn't he just open his mouth to come when he pushed the boat and gave favors?

"Wang Yuan? I don't seem to have much of a relationship with him. ”

Li Yuanqing seemed to be talking to himself, looked at Fan Yongdou with a smile and said, "Shopkeeper Fan has heard of this person?" ”

Fan Yongdou was in a good mood, he naturally couldn't know the cattleness between Li Yuanqing and Wang Yuan, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "General Li, this Wang Yuan is also a capable person." He was a cousin of the Duchess of Cao Guo, and later married the second granddaughter of the Duke of Eguo, and now works on errands in Beidaying. This guy also has a bit of energy in Beijing. ”

There is only one Cao Guogong of the Ming Dynasty, that is the famous Li Zhen, Li Wenzhong, and Li Jinglong, a relative of the old Zhu family, who has been prosperous in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.

And the Duke of Eguo is the descendant of the equally famous King Kaiping and Chang Yuchun.

This Wang Yuan can actually be involved in these two families, which is indeed extraordinary.

Li Yuanqing didn't expect that he was inquiring about him here, and he actually came to the door.

Is this trying to pre-emptively?

After a moment, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "Even if a distinguished guest comes to visit, why don't you invite someone to come in?" ”

Niu Gensheng also reacted at this time, hurriedly said yes respectfully, and left the tent quickly.
