Before Li Shushi led the army to prepare for the march, he had several private conversations with Cao Cao and Liu Xie, and the center of the conversation was all around the non-human who constantly appeared.

However, as long as the thought of the resurrected soul being manipulated by traitors, whether it was an ambitious person like Cao Mengde or Liu Xie, the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, they obviously dispelled the idea of seeking.

Of course, it is not clear whether there will be other thoughts in private Li Shushi, but compared to the living people who belong to the same kind, it is obvious that those non-people are more hateful, especially the actions of those guys who do not give the living a way to live Under Li Shushi's propaganda, it is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the two people, I believe that for a period of time, even if someone provokes the two of them to fight a decisive battle with the Bingzhou army, under the huge pressure around them, they may not be able to be moved.

Of course, putting expectations entirely on others is obviously not the style of the state army, which advocates self-reliance and self-improvement.

It's just that the only ones who sigh a little are the merchants who gather in Aocang.

With the end of the Yuan Cao War, although Cao Cao still didn't mind the continuous import of grain, grass and material resources from Bingzhou, but because the situation had become favorable to Cao Cao's army, it was naturally impossible to maintain the price that made all the merchants happy before, and even because there were many merchants gathered, there were many situations of competing to lower prices, which made the price fall faster.

Especially for those who are relatively small, it can be said to be a bolt from the blue.

For those chambers of commerce that are strong, or have some supernatural giants standing behind them, they will decide whether to stay here and continue their business after weighing the relationship between the price given by the other party and various costs, even if they encounter a tragic price war, they can also transport most of the materials back, or hand over the better part of the goods to the state army to transport to the front line in Guanzhong.

But for those small merchants. The cost of such secondary transportation is undoubtedly a huge burden for people who lack decision-making, but they lack decision-making ability to make the decision to spend a lot of money to transport the materials back, so they can only continue to stay in Aocang and wait for the opportunity to see if they can fight their way out of the increasingly fierce price war.

It's a pity that a certain black-skinned and black-hearted dwarf who has already been holding back the fire in his belly will not let go of such a good opportunity, and he may not be short of resourceful people under him, but in a certain part of the business battle. Moreover, when the situation of friend and foe is clear, and his own side has a great advantage, how can he not play a brilliant victory.

As for the bad relationship with these businessmen, it will affect the future cooperation?

Cao Cao only needed to follow the methods of the art of war and make appropriate exchanges of interests with certain big businessmen in private, so that he could firmly grasp the initiative in the war.

As for those "little guys", except for the shrewd ones who cut off their tails in time and may be able to escape, the rest are just bargaining chips for the big guys. Or cannon fodder for fighting each other.

Of course, there are not without talented and intelligent people among these small merchants, who can either cross the horizon or innovate in this unfavorable situation, so as not only to avoid those monstrous waves and storms, but also to strengthen themselves, so that they can take another solid step in the direction of those big businessmen.

It's a pity that the shrewd people who can do this are destined to be only a few, and the majority of them still go with the flow and are swallowed up by the waves.

Shopping malls are like battlefields. There has never been any mercy for the losers, and as a state that has always been conservative and encouraging for business. There is no shortage of such examples, but there are always people of faith who join in.

After all, it is easier said than done, which is one of the most fundamental laws of this plane.

But those businessmen are not completely out of the question.

Before leaving the battlefield in Henan, Li Shushi decided to give some reward to these merchants who dared to take risks, and most importantly when Yuan Shao's army attacked Aocang, even if the reason for their desperate battle was to defend their property, these merchants were able to obey his orders and achieve the expected goals taught to them by the staff with excellent results. Li Shushi felt that they already had the qualifications to accept the reward, not to mention that they still had real military merits in their hands.

Of course, Li Shushi also hoped to use such actions to tell those caravans who obeyed his command and invested in the development of new trade routes, as well as those pioneers who opened up new lands, as long as they obeyed his command. As long as they are willing to contribute to his mission, even if they encounter any problems during the mission, the state army will give them some help as appropriate.

Maybe it's the military aspect, maybe it's the policy aspect, or it gives a real sweetness.

In fact, for the country that has implemented the policy of suppressing businessmen for hundreds of years, various theoretical classics and national policy classics are full of unfriendly attitudes towards businessmen, and Li Shushi cannot really make a 180-degree turn on his own, which will not change anything, but will only make himself full of inertia when turning and finally complete a "perfect" 360-degree rotation.

Therefore, Li Shushi is always careful to give the businessmen some opportunities, if they do a good job, Li Shushi can let go a little, and if they become reckless, Li Shushi does not mind taking more drastic measures, but there is only one thing that he will continue to push regardless of any resistance, that is, the usual path under his rule, he does not want to appear like another plane of history before the establishment of the German Customs Union because of the large and small kingdoms and principalities caused by the number of checkpoints.

Moreover, the implementation of this policy still hides another "evil intention" for Li Shushi, but the time is far from ripe now, and for the time being, it is only a picture in the minds of him and a few people, and he doesn't even know when it will be used.

So for the time being, it's better to cross the river cautiously by feeling the stones.

Although tens of thousands of enemy troops were captured, Li Shushi, who only had 7,000 men in his hands, obviously had no way to pack them up and take them anywhere, even if it was just to cross the Yellow River, so many prisoners were also extremely unstable.

It is precisely because of this that Li Shushi naturally roughly split these captives.

Among them, Li Shushi's Bingzhou army will carry 20,000 selected elite soldiers and generals to the Guanzhong battlefield. Then he was left with the Sizhou Legion of 20,000 mixed corps of young men and experienced veterans. Liyi needs to combine them with the original troops under his command into an organic whole as soon as possible, after all, the next battle for Jizhou's Sizhou Corps needs to bear a heavy blame, and with this guarantee, Li Shushi also believes that Liyi will definitely show all his enthusiasm.

This is the best chance to make a difference.

The rest of the people were handed over to the merchants by Li Shushi in the name of "materials for labor", and Li Shushi made a list of various materials. The merchants of Aocang could rely on their first-mover advantage to give priority to the goods on the list in exchange for those soldiers who surrendered - the remaining soldiers who were selected were obviously mostly old and weak, but it cannot be denied that in the number of soldiers who were so large that there were more than 10,000 people, even when the number of young and weak laborers was still a considerable number.

In other words, first come, first served, time is money, my friend.

The value of cheap labor is well known to all, and for the big merchants, these soldiers with a lot of combat experience do not necessarily have to survive only as labor, and in fact it is a good idea to arrange them into their own caravan after proving their ability and character. Even those old guys, if they have good skills, then they can become instructors and other roles. Teach the young people their experience of war.

"How well is the collection of materials done?"

"The effect is not bad, the businessmen feel that the purchase price is not bad, and the enthusiasm is quite high."

There are stones in the purchased materials, as well as more valuable metals and gemstones, these things are actually not difficult to come out as a huge force, even if they can't be taken out through Guò's subordinates for acquisition and deployment, they can be quickly obtained, logically speaking, there is no need to spend time in this kind of place, after all, from seeing the list to the allocation of materials. Until the transaction is completed, those duplicate material transaction requests need to be made in the middle. Even if Li Shushi's purchase ceiling is about 50% higher than the actual amount, for most businessmen, they obviously prefer to collect materials that are easier to obtain, after all, it will take less time and energy, and the results will be faster.

Only forward-thinking merchants will choose materials that are rare and valuable, but not easy to collect, but that doesn't mean they give more and don't get more. Because these actions can prove their strength, so that the state army is impressed by their ability, if there is any cooperation in the future, they can obviously have the opportunity to get a certain share from the state army, this friendship from the state army is worth a little everyone has a standard for everyone to measure.

"My husband. What are you going to do with those materials? I always feel like I'm doing useless work. ”

"Huh? Do you think so? But I felt it was very necessary. ”

"Hmm~ If the husband has any ideas, you can know just by looking at them, so it's no problem to sue the concubine directly."

"Don't, one qiē that happened outside Chang'an City is enough, this time it won't make any problems with my jade sauce, although the jade sauce that fell in my arms is so cute, but if something really goes wrong, where will I cry."

"I don't understand what the husband is talking about, but the concubine body is much stronger than the husband."

"Even if it's really 'much stronger', don't be casual anymore. Really, obviously you can get a good cooperation, the last time I didn't know the depth, this time I was so strong, do you really think I won't feel distressed when I see it? ”

"(whisperingly) But my husband is also a person who likes to be strong, and he is not qualified to talk about me at all."

"Uh, Yuzi-chan, did you just say something? I always felt a malice haunting me. ”

"That's definitely a delusion on the part of my husband. The concubine was just saying that she was very moved to hear your words, but she also had a subtle feeling of unhappiness. ”

"That's definitely Tamago-chan, your delusion. So don't continue to be naughty, just be obedient this time. ”

This same answer immediately made the men and women who hugged each other look at each other and smiled, this is a small tacit understanding that only belongs to husband and wife.

"Okay, in order to save the face of the husband as a man, the concubine should be a little willful."

"Uh-huh. This is my cutest tamago-chan. ”

It's a pity that this kind of love between you and me obviously can't last too long, because it makes some people feel extremely unhappy.

"Although I also know that Shushi loves this stupid guy in your family very much, but do you really plan to give such an important task to an unreliable guy like her, this should be a very important task, and it can even change the direction of the battle."

I don't know when. Miss Luo He slipped to Li Shushi's side, and looked at the two people who were hugging each other with a teasing smile on her face, and she didn't know what kind of psychology it was, although it was common sense for these two to quarrel for three days, but such a direct and "violent" attack was something that Li Shushi hadn't heard for a long time.

I remember that it was only when the two of them first met that they would be so unceremoniously-for-tat.

"You pretentious stupid wolf, who is stupid. Or are you jealous when you see that I am being pampered by my husband? But I'm sorry, but there is no way to give you such a good husband, so you can only find a bad man to marry. Oooh oh. I forgot, just with your vision, I guess even if you really meet a good man, you will back down. Hee-hee-hee~"

So Su Xiaololi, who was "attacked" by Miss Luohe so strongly, naturally blew up immediately, but Su Xiaololi's counterattack also made the other party very uncomfortable, and that face was completely a classic expression that was about to be blackened.

Even if you two want to play with the blood knot, don't be in front of me, okay, I'm a pond fish very innocent.

Although Li Shushi was roaring in his heart, considering that Su Xiaololi was holding herself firmly and not letting go, it was probably impossible to have a chance to escape. So Li Shushi can only resign himself to fate.

#不过至少也是牡丹花下死, ghosts also have the capital to brag about. #

――Danmaku-kun: You know too much. In addition, I hope you will not become another flower fertilizer who dies under the peony flower.

Ahem, all in all, the two girls who can't be provoked by Li Shushi suddenly pinched each other, although it is a little confusing, but Li Shushi will not be really stupid enough to directly participate in it, in that case, it will really be dead and dead. The only thing left to do now was to wait quietly and wait for an outcome to be between them, or nothing at all.

But to Li Shushi's surprise. The "war" between these two beings, both of whom belonged to the inhuman rank, did not last long before it ended, and the two sides seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, or compromise, between the two sides.

As for what kind of compromise it was, Li Shushi didn't know very well, but the only thing he could be sure of was one thing. It was the list of purchases of various materials that doubled soon after, and as for the possible shortage of prisoners, Su Xiaololi also took out a bill of exchange from her own chamber of commerce to make up for it.

Of course, the final account will still be calculated to the additional on-time procurement budget of the state army.

"In this way, as long as there are no big problems, the whole north should be able to gradually calm down within three years."

Looking at the army moving along the mountain road, both the state army and the selected soldiers were very quiet. Especially the latter, I have to say that Gao Ran does live up to the name of "Hebei Siting Pillar", and has a considerable prestige in the army, when those soldiers and generals see him and get his comfort and assurance, most of the original restlessness immediately dissipates.

Because of this, there was a lot less trouble on the side of the Bingzhou army, as long as the Bingzhou army showed its friendly side to those newly surrendered soldiers, the last worries of those Yuan Shaojun soldiers also disappeared.

The rest is the cooperation between the two sides, but then Li Shushi doesn't need to worry about it.

Li Shushi suddenly felt a lot of emotion in his heart, although Huang Zhong and Zhang Jaw, who followed him, did not say anything to answer, but there was also a little more excitement on their faces.

Of course, because of Li Shushi's subtle influence, at this time, no one will say such words as "I will go back to my hometown to get married after this battle" or "After this battle, I will go home to see my daughter who has grown up", but Li Shushi felt a little emotional, and today's friends have become smarter and are no longer as easy to fool as before.

"However, the thought of having to compete with those puppets to see who had dug more traps and whose defensive firepower was more effective, made me feel the urge to go home and sleep."

Uncle Huang Zhong's words caused a lot of laughter from people who felt the same way, obviously everyone had suffered in front of the defense line of the puppet army before, and of course, there were a few unlucky people who suffered losses in their own traps.

As for Huang Zhong's joke, Li Shushi just replied with an unfathomable smile (self-opinion).

This time, the situation will definitely be completely different.

Li Shushi has great confidence in this.

Pan Sen: Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong, destroyed the power of the minister Yuwen Hu, rectified the rule of officials, and strengthened the imperial power; destroyed the Buddha several times, the treasury was full, and the people were stable; The Northern Qi Dynasty was destroyed, the country was strong, and the foundation of the Sui Dynasty was opened. Unfortunately, he was overworked and died young, which led to reverie.
