Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Bandits Who Helped

Qin Zhen pressed his hands weakly, and everyone sat down again.

Meng Xuan turned his head and asked, "Vice Team Wen, I don't know if Vice Team Han persuaded you with this reason just now?" ”

Wen Han smiled bitterly: "It's me who is narrow-minded, I just stand in our Flying Eagle Regiment to consider the problem, and Captain Qin and Deputy Han are based on the people of the entire Tong'an Town, and even solve the problem with the entire Weizhou as a whole. ”

As he spoke, Wen Han got up and gave a solemn salute to Han Ruoyun.

Han Ruoyun hurriedly got up and saluted back: "Vice Team Wen is passing the award, and I just made a statement to everyone about the reason why Captain Qin did this." ”

Meng Xuan said with a smile: "No wonder Captain Qin said that Deputy Captain Han is exactly 'women don't let the eyebrows', our group of big men can't see the problem clearly, but they can see it clearly from you, it's really not simple." At the beginning, Captain Qin's reason for persuading me and Luosheng was similar to what Deputy Team Han said just now, but it was far less careful than what Deputy Team Han was saying. ”

Chen Luosheng nodded and said: "I've heard it three times, what Team Meng is saying is messy, Team Qin is saying is too simple, only Deputy Team Han is saying carefully, and he understands it." ”

Qin Zhen said: "What about the reason why I want to sell horses, Vice Han has already said it very clearly, just like Meng Xuan and Luo Sheng said, they are more careful than me, so I have nothing to add, I also go into battle to kill the enemy, I also know the importance of war horses, but if we want to grow, we must have a parting, although this kind of parting is very painful for us." Just like what I promised to Meng Xuan and Luo Sheng, now I am here to promise you that this time we sell horses, within two to three years, I will buy them back with two to three times the amount, and if I can't do it, I will take the initiative to resign from this captain's position. ”

Han Wenzhi hurriedly raised his hand to stop him: "No, the captain is related to the future development of our Tong'an Town, how can he easily say such a promise." ”

Qin Zhen said with a smile: "Team Han is reassured, please rest assured, I, Qin Zhen, am not a man of all my mouths, since I dare to say this, I must be somewhat sure." ”

"I agree with Captain Qin's decision, Deputy Han is right, if the people don't have enough to eat, our army will be a source of water, and sooner or later it will dry up. As for Captain Qin's promise just now, I think this should not be Captain Qin's promise alone, but should become the promise of all of us here, and we should all work hard for it to make this promise come true as soon as possible. This time, Wen Han was the first to speak out in support of Qin Zhen.

Meng Xuan agreed: "Wen Han's words are good, this promise should not be the promise of Captain Qin alone, but the promise of all of us. We are all part of the Flying Eagle Regiment, and the responsibility should not be borne by Captain Qin alone, but by us together. ”

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Qin Zhen said: "Since everyone has no opinion, let Meng Xuan and Luosheng introduce their experience of going out this time, and have some preparations when we talk to Tong Kan later." ”

Everyone was sitting in a precarious position, staring at Meng Xuan and Chen Luosheng, their eyes were eager, people were curious, when Qin Zhen didn't speak, everyone also restrained their curiosity, and now that Qin Zhen has spoken, they also want to know what Meng Xuan and Chen Luosheng have experienced in the past month.

Meng Xuan coughed dryly, and said in a deep voice: "Luosheng and I received the task given by Captain Qin, and went all the way south, first to Qinzhou, we stayed in Qinzhou for three days, and found that the price of horses in Qinzhou was similar to that of Weizhou, I had already set off for Fengxiang, and after arriving in Fengxiang, we pretended to be foreign merchants, while inquiring about the price of tea, silk and other things over there, while letting out the wind, saying that we had a batch of war horses for sale, and sure enough, after three or four days, someone came to the door. ”

"Is it Tong Kan?" Ma Xuan asked.

"No, it's a businessman named Zhang Yuhai, specializing in Fengxiang, Chang'an and other places to Bashu to dump goods, earn a high price difference, he estimates that he has a very close relationship with the high-ranking officials here in Fengxiang Mansion, less than two days after he talked with us, he came with Tong Kan, at first Zhang Yuhai said that Tong Kan was a friend of his, but I obviously felt his military temperament, and he also said that the two of us are not like a businessman, more like soldiers, see that we have seen through each other, We all freely admitted our military identity. ”

"Tong Kan looks rough and hearty on the surface, but his mind is extremely meticulous, so far we only know that he is a lieutenant in the army under Fengxiang Mansion, but he has never revealed his specific identity. Of course, before arriving in Tong'an Town, he didn't know the specific identities of the two of us. ”

Qin Zhen nodded and said, "Tong Kan is indeed not simple, it is not easy to follow the two of you to the wasteland in their eyes." ”

Then, Qin Zhen smiled and said to Meng Xuan and Chen Luosheng: "Fengxiang is also an important town in western Beijing, the military strength of the army over there is much stronger than ours, and they generally look down on us who are in the border wasteland in their eyes, although I have not been in contact with Tong Kan for a long time, but I can see that he is a very proud person, and he is also a person who cannot avoid vulgarity. That contempt was even stronger, and even though he disguised it well, I was able to capture it. But he was extremely sincere in the face of a few of us, and I could feel that his sincerity was not pretend, but from the heart, and how did you convince such a proud man, so that he did not show the slightest disdain in the face of a young lieutenant like me? ”

Meng Xuan's face was full of astonishment, and he couldn't believe it: "Captain Qin, you and Tong Kan have only met for a total of two quarters of an hour, and you have observed and analyzed so many things, how did you do it?" If I didn't know that Tong Kan was coming to us for the first time, I couldn't believe that you were meeting for the first time. ”

Ma Xuan was also stunned: "I also came with me, why didn't I see it?" ”

Qin Zhen chuckled and said: "This matter is actually not complicated, it's just that you don't have the idea to observe, Tong Kan is our first big customer in Tong'an Town, of course I have to pay more attention." In fact, Guo Duwei once told me, saying that although the current Longxi is still nominally still under the world of the Li family in the Later Tang Dynasty, but because of the separation of Longshan Mountain, it is regarded as a border wasteland, and the people in the Central Plains have a natural sense of superiority over the border wasteland, and they generally look down on our kind of border wasteland, I know that the contempt for us in his bones has not disappeared, but what you have done to make him respect us people. ”

Chen Luosheng shook his head and sighed: "Hey, Qin Zhen, you are really a god, the speculation is not wrong at all, at the beginning, Tong Kan heard that we were from Longxi, and he did despise the two of us, and later heard that one of us was a team leader and the other was an ordinary sergeant, so he was even more arrogant, and from time to time he regarded himself as a commander, and Meng Xuan and I also ran so far to talk about things, and I didn't want to mess up this matter, so I endured it." Until we came back on the way, we met more than a dozen bandits in Longshan, the bandits saw that we were only three people, thinking that they had met a fat sheep, and they deserved the bad luck of this gang of bandits, and met me and Meng Xuan, who were holding their stomachs, but before Tong Kan moved, I and Meng Xuan went up with a hammer, killing them on their backs, although my two brushes are not very good, but Meng Team's hands are serious and alive, that Tong Kan of course also saw that Meng Teamzheng is not ordinary, and then completely changed his attitude towards us along the way, I also asked about Meng Teamzheng since he had such a ability, how could he just be a team, did he offend his boss, and was deliberately suppressed by his boss, Meng Teamzheng blew it, saying that it was not the boss's deliberate suppression, in our army, his little skills can only be a team, and I can only be an ordinary sergeant, and said how powerful our Captain Qin is, Tong Kan was skeptical at first, but Meng Team's ability cannot be faked, and then the two of us talked a lot, Tong Kan also believed it, and said itThe bandits helped us a lot. ”

Meng Xuan said dissatisfiedly: "Luosheng, what do you call me blowing that one, isn't what I said the truth?" Captain Qin, you don't know, when I met those bandits, I was still thinking about whether to kill a few Liwei and destroy some of their prestige, but before I could think clearly, Luo Sheng pounced on it with a light in his eyes, just like a hungry wolf touched a fat sheep, I was afraid that Luo Sheng would suffer alone, so I hurried up to help. In the back, Luosheng is much more ruthless than me, and even I can't tell which of his sentences is true and which is false, but the part that praises you is true, not to mention Tong Kan, who knows very little about us. ”

Although the focus of Meng Xuan and Chen Luosheng's description is different, the core meaning is the same, that is, Meng Xuan and Chen Luosheng used the bandit to establish their authority, extinguished Tong Kan's arrogance, and by the way, Qin Zhen praised Qin Zhen for a while, as for the real part that Meng Xuan said, Qin Zhen automatically ignored it.

Qin Zhen smiled bitterly: "No wonder Tong Kan was shocked when he saw me for the first time, it seems that you have set up a lot of characters for me along the way, so that Tong Kan completely overlapped the glorious image in his imagination with me in reality." ”
