Chapter 122: Liu Bang's Ambition
"The last general will see King Xu"
After Zhang Liu arrived, he knelt on one knee in front of Xu Ran, and his tone was extremely respectful.
Xu Ran touched his nose, and acquiesced to the title, and said lightly: "Get up."
"Tell King Xu, Peng, and Xiao counties that a total of 5,000 elite soldiers, 2,000 fine horses, 5,000 carts of grain and grass, and 2,120,000 silver were collected."
Zhang Liu immediately told Xu Ran about the materials he had obtained after occupying the two counties.
"Not bad," Xu Ran nodded.
"I will hand over the task of guarding Peng and Xiao counties to you, the two counties are separated by dozens of miles, once the Qin army comes to attack, they can also support in time."
"Send another thousand elite soldiers to follow me to Pei County," Xu Ran commanded.
"King Xu, do you want to fight this Pei County," Zhang Liu asked on the side.
"Forget it, Pei County is too poor, don't do it" Xu Ran waved his hand.
Zhang Liu sighed, and agreed with Xu Ran's words, Pei County is indeed poor, where is it like Peng County and Xiao County, it is accessible in all directions, and the water and land are very convenient.
Zhang Liu went down, pulled out a thousand elite soldiers, and followed Xu Ran.
In addition, Xu Ran also took ten boxes of silver, about 200,000 taels, and a hundred carts of grain, and set off from Peng County with a thousand elite soldiers to Pei County.
It took a day to rush to Pei County.
A thousand elite soldiers, pushing grain and grass into Pei County like a rainbow, no one rushed to stop them, and the people of Pei County looked at this pair of people curiously.
Finally, it stopped at the mansion of Duke Lu.
"Let's move all these things in," Xu Ran commanded.
A group of soldiers took the order and began to move things.
After a while, Lu Gong was alarmed, walked out quickly, and saw well-equipped soldiers, looking inside, a little dazed.
Not sure what happened.
"Daddy"
Lu Su shouted excitedly, and ran towards Lu Gong quickly.
"Su'er" Lu Gong saw Lu Su come back safely, and his hanging heart finally relaxed, and then looked at the soldiers who were still looking inside, and asked with some doubts: "Su'er, what is going on?"
"Daddy, these soldiers are all Xu Gongzi's subordinates, these boxes contain silver taels, and the carriage is grain" Lu Su explained to Lu Gong.
Xu Ran glanced at Lu Su without leaving a trace.
Lu Su also glanced at Xu Ran, naturally it was impossible to be as bold in front of his father as he was outside, and he didn't dare to call Xu Ran his husband, so he could only call Xu Gongzi.
Now that Xu Ran's gaze fell on her, Lu Su playfully stuck out her tongue.
"So much," Lu Gong asked with some stumbling eyes.
I walked over and opened the box, and sure enough, it was full, with white flowers and silver two, and it was a little dazzling.
Lu Gong can also be regarded as coming from a celebrity family, but it was the first time he had seen so much money, so he hurriedly asked Lu Su about what happened along the way.
Lu Su gave his father a rough explanation of what happened in Peng County and Xiao County.
When Lu Gong heard this, he immediately looked at Xu Ran in surprise, he didn't expect his son-in-law to be so powerful, he went out to subdue two county towns and support 5,000 soldiers.
I really didn't see the wrong person, and the son-in-law I chose was really the dragon and phoenix among people.
Not long after, Lu Su and some subordinates in the mansion also knew what had happened, and they all looked at Xu Ran in surprise.
You must know that a few days ago, although the other party was regarded as a son-in-law by Lu Gong, the other party's daily expenses were all paid by Lu Gong, and they obviously looked down on it.
Originally, I wondered why Lu Gong, who had the skill of looking for people, found a plain son-in-law, but he was dizzy, but now he understands that Lu Gong did not see the wrong person.
Lu Pheasant was not far away, heard the talk of his subordinates, and saw that the group of soldiers around him were all someone's subordinates, and he was even more jealous of his sister.
At the same time, a deep resentment also grew in my heart.
Originally, this man was his own, but for some reason, he became his sister's, and recently, a certain gangster has been harassing him, which made Lu Su upset and left directly.
"Oh yes, what's going on in the mansion?"
At this moment, a flirtatious voice suddenly came from the door, and I saw a man in his thirties, dressed in simple clothes, walking in with his hair flicked.
"Father-in-law, son-in-law is polite" The man walked up to Lu Gong and bowed his hand respectfully.
Lu Gong did not speak.
Lu Su on the side was stunned, this strange man is called father and father-in-law, could it be that the other party is my sister's husband, I haven't seen her for a few days, and my sister has a husband.
Xu Ran, who was on the side, also saw that it was Liu Bang who walked in, but he didn't say anything, and directly ignored Liu Bang.
Liu Bang now calls Lu Gong his father-in-law, is it possible that Lu Gong has agreed to marry Lu Pheasant to Liu Bang, but looking at Lu Gong's appearance, it seems that he did not agree.
Moreover, there seems to be some dissatisfaction.
However, he did not let people drive Liu Bang out, perhaps because of his physiognomy skills, observing Liu Bang's noble face, he will definitely be rich and noble in the future.
As for the reason for the dissatisfaction, it is estimated that Liu Bang is now just a gangster who eats and waits for death, and he is thick-skinned and unmotivated, so he is a little dissatisfied.
"Father-in-law, dare to ask these subordinates, they are all your soldiers" Liu Bang saw that Lu Gong did not speak, and asked cautiously beside him.
Ever since Liu Bang saw Lu Pheasant in Pei County, he vowed in his heart to marry a beauty like the eldest lady of the Lu family, so he often came to the door with a cheeky face.
He dared to call Lu Gong's father-in-law, but the other party was not angry, which made Liu Bang secretly happy in his heart, it seems that this thing has been done.
It's just that what makes him a little unhappy is that Lu Pheasant seems to dislike him.
However, this marriage event is decided by his parents, even if Lu Pheasant dislikes him, as long as Lu Gong agrees, Lu Pheasant must not marry him obediently.
When I came today, I found that there were so many more soldiers in the Lu Mansion, and I thought that something had happened in the Lu Mansion, but I found that these soldiers were moving things inside.
This made Liu Bang a little puzzled, could it be that these soldiers were all his father-in-law's.
Thinking about it this way, Liu Bang was even more determined to marry Lu Pheasant, and after marrying Lu Pheasant, his father-in-law's soldiers could be included in the bag.
Maybe he can also rely on this group of soldiers to occupy this place in Pei County, and use it as a foundation for himself to build the world in the future.
The more Liu Bang thought about it, the more excited he became.
Lu Gong still didn't speak, and Liu Bang was thick-skinned, and began to take care of himself and ordered: "You guys should be lighter, lighter, don't break it."
"Who are you?"
Some soldiers looked at Liu Bang dissatisfied.
"Who am I, my name is Liu Bang, and I will be your general in the future," Liu Bang said unashamedly.
"Go aside, who knows you, we are only loyal to King Xu"
"Even if you don't look at what you are"
The words of several soldiers were very ugly, full of sarcasm, Rao was Liu Bang's cheekiness, and he was also slightly feverish, and hurriedly said: "Don't look down on people, although I am down now, it doesn't mean that I will be down in the future, you will definitely beg me in the future, let me be your general."
These soldiers, hearing Liu Bang's unashamed words, pursed their lips and sneered, directly ignored Liu Bang, and took care of themselves.
