Chapter 50 The Road Meets the Hu People
Without continuing to dwell on this topic, Shan Meixian directly explained the reason why he couldn't provide enough weapons: "Not long ago, Li Valve just ordered a full 40,000 sets of blade armor from me, and I guessed that most of you also need it, so I only provided them with 30,000 sets, and now the Dongming faction only has 20,000 sets of blades, I believe you also know this, junior brother!" ”
"Hasn't Li Valve's goods been delivered yet? It's better to give it all to the junior brother, what price do they pay, how about I add 20% to the junior brother? "Shen Chengping naturally knows that these are not too secret news in the Dongming faction, the development of the weapons casting department under the command of Longhumen is not slow, but the expansion of Longhumen is faster, so the weapons have not been abundant, as for the Dongming faction to do weapons business, even if it is overtime, it can build a maximum of fifty or sixty thousand sets a year, which is already extremely unbelievable, Li Valve bought these 30,000 sets, then in addition to these 20,000 sets, Shen Chengping wants to continue to buy blades, I'm afraid he will have to wait until a few months later, and the number will not be too much.
But Shen Chengping is about to use troops, and it is inevitable to continue to expand the army when the territory expands, and the consumption of armor is not a small amount at that time, the more armor the better, not to mention being able to reduce the armor obtained by Li Valve, which is also a harvest for Shen Chengping.
"You are making my Dongming faction lose its trust, my Dongming faction has always paid attention to credibility in doing business, I have reached an agreement with Li Valve, it is impossible for you to let me do this!" Shan Meixian glared at Shen Chengping and refused directly.
Looking at Shan Meixian's glaring eyes at this time, she was not serious at all, but felt a little cute, Shen Chengping couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "I didn't ask Senior Sister to regret not providing Li Valve's armor, but asked you to provide it later, anyway, it takes time to build armor, you can just explain!" ”
"No, it can't be!" Shan Meixian still shook her head and refused: "The delivery date has been set, it can't be delayed, and now the Dongming faction still needs to rely on the name of Li Valve, and it's not good to make things too stiff!" ”
"Senior sister, rest assured, what Li Valve can do, now we can also do it in Longhumen, with the current power of Longhumen, it is not difficult to protect the Dongming faction, as long as the senior sister agrees, the Dongming faction can play the banner of Longhumen in the future!" Shen Chengping continued: "And Senior Sister also knows that Li Valve is not really helpful, and she has calculated Senior Sister before, otherwise where would Yu Wenhua come from!" ”
Even if Shen Chengping brought up the old matter, Shan Meixian still shook his head, even if Shen Chengping proposed that the price could be increased again, she did not agree, she was in charge of the Dongming faction, naturally she also had her own position, even if she had a good impression of Shen Chengping, who had helped him many times, it was impossible to offend Li Valve because of this, especially now that the situation in the world is unclear, the Dongming faction cannot press everything on the Dragon Tiger Gate.
In the end, he didn't say anything about moving Shan Meixian, and Shen Chengping was not too disappointed, he knew the difficulty of this matter, but he still didn't give up his plan to stumble on Li Valve, and silently recalled in his heart the place where the Dongming faction delivered the armor, and said in his heart: "I can't say that I have to borrow a knife to kill someone this time!" ”
When he returned to Longhumen, Shen Chengping called Lin Jie, the commander of the black-clothed guards, and explained to him: "You secretly passed this news to Dou Jiande, be careful not to miss it!" ”
The black-clothed guard is the intelligence organization established by Shen Chengping, which is responsible for collecting internal and external intelligence, and now Dou Jiande has established a lot of power in Hebei, he is from a peasant uprising, and the army at hand can't even get together the weapons, let alone the armor, so his demand for armor is also great, and 30,000 sets of armor can definitely make him take risks.
Shen Chengping had already heard about it, and the Dongming faction would deliver the armor to Li Valve's ships in the area of the Yellow River estuary, and then transport it back to Taiyuan along the river.
However, this is not an ordinary situation, Shen Chengping believes that with Dou Jiande's character, even if he offends Li Valve, he will not give up the opportunity to strengthen himself.
According to all the speculation that Shen Chengping knew, the reason why Li Valve asked for this batch of armor was precisely to prepare for the incident, as long as this batch of armor did not fall into the hands of Li Valve, at least it could bring some obstacles to Li Valve, and it was best to delay the progress of Li Valve's attack on Guanzhong, and also give Shen Chengping more time to prepare, and after seizing Bashu, he would compete with Li Valve for the important place in Guanzhong.
"Yes, don't worry!" Lin Jie was carefully selected by Shen Chengping, he usually has a weak temperament, but his observation and analytical skills are very good, after listening to Shen Chengping's words, he immediately understood Shen Chengping's purpose, but he calmly followed the order.
The elimination of Lin Shihong and the Iron Cavalry Club is very smooth, many of the Yin Kwai faction under Lin Shihong have already secretly contacted Shen Chengping to surrender, the people in the Holy Gate have always seen the wind and steered, Lin Shihong's situation is not good, these people naturally want to think of turning to Shen Chengping, with these ghosts, the Dragon Tiger Gate easily broke Lin Shihong, and then the Iron Horse Club was difficult to support, after Ren Shaoming was killed by Kou Zhong in front of the battle, it also quickly collapsed, and the territory of the two was also pocketed by the Dragon Tiger Gate, and the Dragon Tiger Gate has since become the largest force in Jiangnan.
After that, the soldiers of Longhumen did not stop, but continued to sweep and attack the surrounding forces, and at the same time began to clean up the thieves in the new territory, setting off a three-month-long war this year.
However, the next follow-up matters have been handed over to his subordinates by Shen Chengping, and he has already left the main hall of Longhumen with Yun Yuzhen and Zhenzhen at this time.
The horse's hooves splashed with fresh soil, and the horse's ass under him ran happily, now is the best season for the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, but there are also a huge number of thieves along the way, especially the more they leave the control of the Dragon and Tiger Gate, the more these thieves are hundreds, and the least is dozens, but no matter how many they are, it is not an obstacle for Shen Cheng Sanping.
Galloping along the official road like this, after a while, he saw several horses galloping towards him, and after a while, he came to the front and restrained the horses, Shen Chengping looked at the four horsemen in front of him, and the man on the opposite side was also sitting on the horse and looking at him fiercely.
The leader rode a black horse, black as ink, a middle-aged man of about thirty years old, with a pair of blue eyes shining with a hint of essence, he was not very handsome, but the lines on his face were very tough, adding a lot of tenacity, and behind him was two strange shields, which were about two feet long, pointed at the top and wide at the bottom.
Next to the man are two young men and women, a man and a woman, the man looks quite heroic, wearing a bearded clothes, carrying a long sword like autumn water behind him, but there is a scimitar hanging from his waist, he is tall, his eyes are like beasts looking at Yun Yuzhen and Zhenzhen, the two women don't like it in their hearts, and they are waiting for this Hu man fiercely, and the woman next to him is dressed in red like fire, revealing her pink lotus root arms, her snow-white arms seem to be able to drain out of water like tofu, and her flat belly belly button is exposed. The woman was born quite sweetly, but she had two daggers hanging from her waist.
Behind the man were two sturdy men, one of whom carried two crescent-like axes, while the other had a long knife hanging from his waist.
Jiangnan is different from the north, and the Hu people are not common, so when he saw them, Shen Chengping frowned and said, "Who are you?" ”
