There were a large number of prisoners, and it took three days before Luo Xing finished questioning them one by one. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Hearing that Han Feng and the others were willing to let them go, many of the captives could hardly believe their ears, they were pleasantly surprised, most of them immediately expressed their willingness to surrender to the Western Dynasty and send the fruits of their work home with both hands; another small number of people said that their families were surrounded by walls, and they could not see their relatives when they returned to their hometowns, so it was better to follow the army, in order to have an official and a half-position in the future.

After Luo Xing asked, Liu Quan screened these people who wanted to engage in their old profession, and in the end, except for three people, the rest were arranged to return to the countryside.

The youngest of the three looked to be in his early twenties and skinny. His surname is Qiao, no big name, only an "old dog" nickname, he has been lonely since childhood, living by begging, when he grew up, he saved a goldsmith by chance in the hands of several bandits, and was taken to a small gold shop as an apprentice, and now he has just completed two years, and has not yet graduated. According to him, his master fled to the south under the pretext of visiting relatives when Fengzhou changed hands for the first time, and let him see the shop in Fengzhou first, and then Zhang Bo caught strong men all over the world, and he was taken to the army.

The middle-aged man is twenty-eight years old this year, surnamed Ji Mingchuan, although he is covered in dirt and has a few bruises on his face, but the whole person still looks polite. He recommended himself as a student of urban middle school, and because his family was in the middle of the road, he made a living by selling paintings. Liu Quan saw that his handwriting flowers and birds were delicate and exquisite, so he nodded and left him behind.

Finally, the man was over forty years old, with large shoulders and a round waist, and especially his arms were muscular, and he could see the shape even through his clothes. His surname is Song Yaoshan, and he used to be a blacksmith in the city, but he also helped people make a few gold ornaments. He was included in the army because he built weapons in the army.

Han Feng saw these three people, and saw Liu Quan smiling beside him, knowing that this was the grass platform team he had found to be responsible for minting gold coins. Now there are not enough people, and this matter is extremely confidential, the fewer people who are responsible for this matter, the more they come from the bottom, the more advantageous it is, not to mention that among these three people, Ji Chuan is responsible for the design of the currency system, Song Yaoshan is responsible for casting the mold, and Qiao Laogou is responsible for the final creation, everyone has their own division of labor, with the current situation, this is the most complete confidentiality process that can be done.

When Liu Quan was screening the surrender of troops, Han Feng searched Fengzhou City, not only sent people to dig gold mines, he also went to the granary and armory, and at the same time inspected all the gold shops in the city, although the harvest was not much, but he found a few stones of wheat, thousands of feather arrows and a thousand taels of gold that Zhang Boyuan had not had time to destroy.

The thousand taels of gold were hidden in the secret room of a large gold shop, and it could evade the raids of the Fengzhou defenders, but it could not escape Han Feng's eyes. And with this thousand taels of gold, the coalition army finally has some confidence, and the room for negotiation with Zhang Boyuan's men has also become much larger.

Therefore, Han Feng and Liu Quan's appetite also increased, and the strategy also changed in the gradual clarity of the situation.

They are not in a hurry to attack the imperial capital - at this moment, their army has become the closest to the imperial capital, if they really rush to the imperial capital, they are afraid that the people of Pingsha City will come to share the results of the battle in a blink of an eye; and once the imperial capital is defeated, it will represent the demise of the Zhan Dynasty, and then the chaotic armies from all over the country will rise one after another, and there will inevitably be people under the banner of avenging the emperor, so their two puppets will naturally become the target of public criticism.

Liu Quan was not a hot-blooded and reckless person, and Han Feng had also learned to control his temperament in these years of training, so after a little thought, the two of them both set their sights on the east.

Originally, the vicinity of Toyosu Castle was a productive area, but because of the wars in these years, the countryside was barren, and even if the soldiers were ordered to farm the fields, it would take at least half a year to wait for the first harvest. But this is not the case in the East.

The first city in the east is Qianmo City, and there are Chengbo City and many small towns next to it, which is close to the sea and has abundant products, which is the base camp of Zhao Gong. These years have not been devastated by war, and they want to accumulate a lot, otherwise Zhao Gong would not have held a large army to the west.

It is impossible for Zhao Gong to take all the products of Qianmo City, not to mention that it is the beginning of spring, even if there is no time for the harvest in the fields, when the coastal thaw, the supply of seafood will be endless. And with the strength of Tianma's feet, Xidai's troops will definitely be able to reach Qianmo City before Zhao Gong returns to defend it.

What we want to talk about now is that Zhao Gongken is unwilling to give up the position of the city lord of Dongfang Qianmo.

And such a big thing is bound to be not Zhong Yunan dares to promise. Knowing that this Fengzhou envoy was not a trusted person by Zhao Gong and Zhang Boyuan, Han Feng and Liu Quan sealed their intentions in a secret letter and entrusted them to Du Lun, asking him to go with Zhong Yunan to the defeated army of Fengzhou.

This matter was Du Lun's initiative to ask for help, and apart from him, Han Feng and Liu Quan had no other credible and sendable people. When Du Lun was about to get into the carriage, Han Feng held his arm tightly and said in a low voice, "Be careful. ”

Du Lun smiled: "At that time, I went to Fengzhou to negotiate halfway, and today I went to the other party's army, which is also to complete the mission a few days ago." I've been mentally prepared for a long time, so you don't have to worry. ”

Zhong Yunan stood beside the carriage with a black face, urging Du Lun to set off quickly. Liu Quan walked between the two of them and blocked his body, and the wide cloak blocked Zhong Yunan's sight. He took out a small black ball of less than a punch from his bosom, handed it to Du Ren, and said, "You put it away, this is the smallest fire thunder, if they ...... Hope it works for you. ”

Duren took it as he said and put it in his sleeve. At this time, Luo Xing came over with a wine jar and said to Han Feng: "Holy Lord, the wine for the send-off has been prepared." ”

"Okay," Han Feng poured a glass of wine for Du Lun, and then picked up a glass with Liu Quan, and the three of them all went away, "I wish Du University a smooth return." ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Zhong Yun'an stayed in the city of Fengzhou for ten days, and Du Lun went, but on the tenth day he still did not return—not only did he not return, but he did not even send a letter.

Mingxi and Lijiao waited impatiently, and even Luo Xing ran to the west gate every day to look into the distance, only Han Feng and Liu Quan were still calm on their faces - as long as there was no letter, then Duren was completely in the opposing army. What's more, although they asked for the right to dispose of Qianmo City in the secret letter, they also made concessions to the proposal of Zhao Gong and the others, which was not too much of a deception.

At the same time, the clean-up of the gold mine is about halfway through, and the design and construction of the gold coins is well underway. The first batch of gold coins came out, totaling two hundred, each weighing a penny. The front of the coin is carved with an hourglass shape, symbolizing the coming of Pingsha from the north, and on the other side is a bow and arrow, symbolizing Fengguan Mangcheng. The surrounding area is surrounded by golden ears, which means a bumper harvest of grains - at present, I am afraid it is more of a symbol that there is no shortage of grain and grass in the army.

Ji Chuan's fine brush painting art painting this hourglass, bow arrow, and golden spike is easy to come by, and it is rare that Qiao Laogou and Song Yaoshan's ability to build is also exquisite, and these two hundred gold coins are compared on the level one by one, and the difference is only in a fraction.

Han Feng and Liu Quan were very satisfied, and after accepting the two hundred gold coins, Liu Quan said, "There is no problem with the casting mold, and the craftsmanship is not bad." In the future, as long as the gold is melted and reconstructed every day, the thousand taels of gold in our hands will soon be used up. By then, however, the mines should also begin to be mined. I'll take these two hundred gold coins with me first, and Bai Mufeng will also go with me, it's time to meet those foot merchants. ”
