In the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, after a series of heavy snowfalls, the spring of the second year of Chuping (191) not only came earlier than in previous years, but also had smooth wind and rain, which was extremely rare.

Compared with the smiles and busyness of the peasants, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty seem to have not yet woken up from the freezing of heaven and earth, and they are unusually calm.

The world is so calm, people think, is this how the peaceful and prosperous world has come?

Of course, this is just people's illusion, the princes of various states and counties, at this time, are in full swing in various places to recruit troops and horses, a should be consumed, of course, it is the use of taxes in various places, as for the tribute to the imperial court, there are only states and counties such as Bingzhou, Liangzhou, Guanzhong, Jingzhou, Youzhou, etc., and they are all more symbolic.

As soon as the spring of March passed, even all parts of the state began to become hotter and hotter, and correspondingly, the area around Yanmen Pass suddenly became lively, and the atmosphere was even more warm enough to be described as hot.

The strategic action of the Xianbei troops outside Yanmen Pass has entered the stage of formal implementation, and the army gathered in Yanmen Pass, including 4,000 elite cavalry and 3,000 sharp soldiers under his command, if you add that there are 3,000 garrisons stationed in Yanmen Pass, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses will be stuffed here at once.

Although Lu Bu is the pastor of the state, only a small half of Yanmen County is actually controlled by him, that is, the Xinzhou Basin in Yanmen Pass, and the Datong Basin outside Yanmen Pass, together with the two counties of Dingxiang and Yunzhong further north, is entrenched by the descendants of the late Xianbei King Tan Shihuai.

The Xinzhou Basin, the Datong Basin, and the Taiyuan Basin are all said by later generations, and Lu Bu called it so, and everyone knew it as soon as they heard it. The greater sense is apt.

As for the two counties of Wuyuan and Shuofang, they were occupied by the Tuoba Xianbei Department.

Xianbei King Tanshi Huai, once established a Xianbei military alliance across thousands of miles, set up the royal court in Danhan Mountain, during the Zhongping period, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Tanshi Huai died at this time, he single-handedly established the Xianbei military alliance, also collapsed in an instant.

Otherwise, with his eloquence. Taking advantage of the civil strife in the Han Empire, he is bound to lead the Xianbei Iron Cavalry to the south and set foot on the Central Plains.

Since then, the two sons of Tanshi Huai have competed for the throne. The second son and Lian won and killed his brother. Ascend to the throne. Still stationed in Danhan Mountain, his brother Kuitou took advantage of the situation to go south and entrenched in Yunzhong County.

The younger brother of the leader, Fu Luo Han, is entrenched in the area of Youzhou Dai County, and the younger brother Budugen is entrenched in Dingxiang County and outside Yanmen Pass.

Since he had the idea of recovering the hometown outside Yanmen Pass and the Hetao area a year ago, Lu Bu transferred the general Cao Xing to Yanmen to scout for affairs. After collecting the military information of the Xianbei tribes, Cao Xing had roughly figured out the distribution of the Xianbei tribes, even the Tuoba Xianbei tribes of Wuyuan and Shuofang. I also know a rough idea.

The first step of Lu Bu's strategy for Xianbei is to recover the Datong Basin outside Yanmen Pass, the second step is to recover the two counties of Dingxiang and Yunzhong, the third step is to recover the two counties of Wuyuan and Shuofang, and the first step of Zuihou is to suppress the Southern Xiongnu, force them to submit, and bring the entire Hetao region under control.

Under Jia Xu's planning, the entire strategy will be carried out step by step over a period of three to five years, so that once the Central Plains changes, Lu Bu can also adjust the direction of his troops at any time and shift his focus to the Central Plains.

As soon as the sky was bright, the surrounding mountains were still shrouded in mist, and the closing of the Yanmen Gate opened in a creaking sound, and Cao Xing personally led the scouts and galloped in all directions.

An hour later, the gate was opened again, and Lu Bu personally led four thousand elite horsemen, rolling out, and went straight to the Yin Pavilion dozens of miles away from the gate.

Yin Pavilion was originally the county seat of Yanmen County, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Ding Yuan was the assassin of the state at that time, by the order of the imperial court and the general He Jin, Shuofang, Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang four counties, as well as the Han households outside the Yanmen Pass, moved to the Yanmen Pass, the Yin Pavilion also became an empty city, after the head and Budugen took advantage of the situation to go south, because the Yin Pavilion was too close to the Yanmen Pass, there was no garrison here.

Therefore, the Yin Pavilion has become an unmanaged area between the Han and Xianbei, and in the past few years, it has become the best place for the border market, and the one who maintains order is a gang across the Han and Xianbei departments. Send.

Dig deeper, this gang. Behind the pie, in fact, it is the maiden family of Lu Bu's wife, the Yan family, the local tyrant of Yanmen, and the Yan family was able to start such an open black market in the Yin Pavilion outside Yanmen Pass under the nose of the then Bingzhou Assassin Shi Ding Yuan, and Lu Bu's behind-the-scenes support is an important reason.

Of course, this is before Lu Bu "woke up" in this life, since Lu Bu took charge of the state, the Yan family's shili inside and outside Yanmen Pass has been further expanded, and the Yin Pavilion has become more and more prosperous.

Dozens of miles away, the fine horse galloped, it was only more than half an hour, when the eastern sun was rising, the pioneer general Zhang Liao had already led a thousand fine horsemen to arrive outside the Yin Pavilion City.

After a while, the gate of the Yin Pavilion was opened, and Zhang Liao rode in first, followed by a thousand fine horsemen, pouring into the Yin Pavilion City.

In this military operation, it is impossible to keep it completely secret, and the movement of thousands of troops, the concentration of grain and grass, even if there is no internal scout to reveal the news, it is easy for people with a heart to see and judge it.

Therefore, at this time, the merchants of all ethnic groups who still remained in the Yin Pavilion City were more than half less than before, and the merchants who stayed here were all bold figures, thinking that they could take advantage of the fire and make huge profits from this war.

Besides, the businessmen who often haunt the Yin Pavilion, no one does not know that the gang that maintains the order of the Yin Pavilion. Behind the faction is the Yan family of Yanmen, and behind the Yan family is Lu Bu, who is the Mu of Bingzhou.

At this moment, I venture to stay in the Yin Pavilion, and I am happy to be able to catch the line of Mu Lu Bu in the state, then in the future, it will be delicious and spicy, and I will have to toss.

When the rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded in the silent Yin Pavilion City, behind the doors and windows on both sides of the avenue, there were actually one or several pairs of eyes, looking at the rolling iron flow in front of them in different moods.

Half an hour later, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the wall of the Yin Pavilion, Lu Bu, the governor of the state, led three thousand elite horsemen to run, and the army rested directly outside the city, and he only brought three hundred guards into the city.

"Uncle!"

"Lord!"

As soon as Lu Bu rode a red rabbit horse like a dark fire into the city, he heard two calls, which were Zhang Liao, the general under the tent, and Yan Gang, who presided over the affairs of the Yin Pavilion.

Lu Bu only knew Yan Gang's name, but he had never met him, and his eyes were blazing at the moment. looked him up and down for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and responded: "Okay, the person chosen by my father-in-law is really good." The merchants who remained in the city have all been gathered? ”

Yan Gang showed joy on his face, respectfully saluted on the horse, and said, "Aunt Xie's praise, the merchants have all been convened, and there are a total of sixteen families. Han and Xianbei are the mainstays, and there are also Xiongnu and Wuhuan tribes. ”

Lu Bu was silent, and the sixteen-character mantra revealed by Taishi Gong in "The Biography of the Goods Colony" appeared in his heart: The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is crowded. All for profit, Dajue most embodies the sixteen-character mantra. In fact, it is the most despised businessman in the world.

Between thoughts. Lu Bu immediately returned to normal, and with a move of his hand, Hou Chengce immediately stepped forward, met with Yan Gang, and said, "The affairs of the Yin Pavilion will still be in charge of you in the future." Hou Cheng is the head of business under my account, and you will deal with him more in the future. Take me to meet the merchants. ”

After seeing Lu Bu, the pioneer general Zhang Liao did not enter the city with Lu Bu, but galloped in the opposite direction, went out of the city, led the vanguard battalion of 1,000 elite horsemen, and killed Mayi City, which was a hundred miles away.

Within a moment, Lu Bu, surrounded by Song Xian and Hou Cheng, walked into the former Taishou Mansion in the Yin Pavilion City.

In the hall, in fact, there are more than sixteen people, behind each businessman, there is actually one or even several business groups, plus various entourages, the people gathered in the hall of the Taishou Mansion, not to mention a hundred people, saw Lu Bu and his party come in, everyone immediately stopped talking and stood quietly in place.

Lu Bu swept his eyes, clapped his palms, attracted everyone's attention, smiled, and said loudly: "Lu Bu, the general of the Northern Expedition, leads and annexes the state pastor, and welcomes you to the Yin Pavilion." ”

As soon as these words came out, the sixteen people in the hall immediately let go of half of their hearts, and at the same time, their spirits perked up, looking forward to Lu Bu's next words.

"Lu Mou led the army to come, not to cut off your financial route, on the contrary, to open up a financial route for you and bring rolling financial resources!"

There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Lu Bu also laughed very happily, and when the laughter gradually stopped, the hall quieted down again, and he continued: "Yin Pavilion, it will be built by Lu into the largest mutual market in the border county, welcoming guests from all sides, and the person in charge is still Yan Gang, who is familiar to you, and under Lu's account, the person who presides over the business is this, Hou Cheng, if you have any questions, you can consult with him." ”

At the end, Lu Bu added: "Of course, it is limited to business, and you must not have the idea of listening to secrets, that is." ”

Everyone in the hall was shocked again, and the sixteen people who had just let go of half of their hearts were completely relieved at this moment, and secretly rejoiced there that they stayed in the Yin Pavilion, which seemed to be the right bet.

Lu Bu was very satisfied with the scene in front of him, but he also had a lot of emotion in his heart.

The group of merchants standing in front of him, even if there was no Yan Gang's previous report, could be distinguished just by looking at their appearance, they belonged to different ethnic groups, and the merchants, just like the disdainful evaluation of the scholars, valued profit over righteousness and separated from each other, and were a group of people who chased the smell of copper.

Lu Bu came from a later life, and the business atmosphere and the status of businessmen at that time were not at all imaginable by people in this world, so he was able to look at the group of people in front of him with a fair eye.

When evaluating them, the phrase valuing profit over righteousness, in Lu Bu's heart, is no longer derogatory, but neutral evaluation, as for the light parting or something, it should actually be the price paid by businessmen for profit, and it should not be criticized and ridiculed by the world because of this.

When the hall was quiet again, Lu Bu continued: "Lu will not stay here for long, you will have to stay here for a few more days before you can leave freely." As for the future, as long as it is within the jurisdiction of Lu, as long as it is a business trip, as long as it does not violate Lu's regulations, personal safety and property safety will be guaranteed by Lu. zuihou, there is good news to tell you, where Lu has jurisdiction over the territory, goods enter and exit, only need to pay a transit tax, of course, if the goods are sold in the territory, you must also pay a sale tax, as for buying, exempt from paying taxes! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall, except for Hou Cheng and Song Xian, everyone was stunned and completely incredulous, and many people secretly asked in their hearts: "Is this young state pastor crazy?" (To be continued......)
