Chapter 851: Meticulous work

Liu He fled from Pingyang in a hurry with the royal family and courtiers, and was chased all the way to Zhongyang County, Xihe State, where he gathered 50,000 troops, and he ordered the five Qin kings of the Xiongnu.

Although the main elites followed Liu Cong to fight the Jin Kingdom, the five departments could still squeeze out a lot of troops, and some people obeyed the order to go to King Qin.

Coupled with the strength of some generals who led the troops abroad, Liu He finally assembled an army of 150,000.

Of course, he still can't compare with the army in Liu Cong's hands, Liu Cong is the generalissimo of the southern expedition, and this expedition is to destroy the Jin Kingdom, so the soldiers and horses in the world are at his disposal, and he directly commanded 200,000 soldiers and horses at that time.

Even if there is attrition, he also has 150,000 soldiers and horses in his hands to fight against Liu He at this time.

150,000 against 150,000, Liu Cong is elite in his hands, but there are not many people in Liu He's hands who can fight.

But he has a great reputation, he is the prince of the Huns!

As soon as the news of Liu Yuan's death in Pingyang City came, he immediately ascended the throne as the new emperor in Xihe Kingdom, and after spreading the word to the world, Liu Cong and Shi Le both expressed their obedience.

Running all the way, he was frightened by Zhao Hanzhang, so as soon as he settled down in Xihe Kingdom, he wanted to stay there, build a high wall, defend directly, and then order Liu Cong to bring the army back, he didn't want to fight the Jin Kingdom, anyway, the Jin Emperor was arrested by them, and it was not a loss to come back at this time, it was important to snatch back their capital Pingyang City.

Therefore, when Ming Pre and Wu Erlang arrived in Xihe Kingdom, Liu He had already settled in Zhongyang County, Xihe Kingdom, and he directly circled more than 20,000 people to build the palace.

That's right, the first thing he did after ascending the throne was not to centralize power, nor to counterattack Pingyang, but to build a large palace in Zhongyang County, where he temporarily stayed.

As a caravan in the Central Plains, they also brought so many scarce goods, and they didn't need Wu Erlang to find a way to have a relationship with Hu Yanyou, and the goods were confiscated as soon as they entered the city.

said that there was an abnormality, and it was suspected that they were the fine work of the Jin Kingdom, so all the things they brought were confiscated.

At that moment, not only Wu Erlang, but even Ming Yu felt a chill down his spine, and thought that they died before they left the school, and they were exposed in advance.

As a result, the Huns just took their things and did not arrest them, and Ming immediately understood that this was a fancy to their goods, so they found an excuse to rob them away.

He didn't stop him, but asked Wu Erlang to hint to the other party that they still had a batch of valuable goods behind, and they knew Hu Yanyou's retainers, and some gifts were given to Hu Yanyou this time, and this trip was also for business, as long as the trade route could be opened, they would continue to transport treasures from the Central Plains in the future.

The soldiers who captured them heard that they were familiar with Huyanyu's retainers, so they didn't dare to be too tough, but they didn't return the goods to them directly, but carried them to General Huyan's mansion to make sure.

Wu Erlang was so scared that he couldn't do it, because this was really an excuse.

His face turned pale and he looked at Ming Pre.

Ming Yu's face was calm, and he glanced at Wu Erlang soothingly, and while waiting for the retainers in Huyan Mansion, he quietly glanced at Wu Erlang's arms.

Wu Erlang instantly comprehended, thought of the thing in his arms, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Huyanyu's retainers walked out with a frown, and before he could speak, Wu Erlang immediately greeted him, quickly took out something from his arms and stuffed it into his hand, and said with a flattering smile: "General, the golden Buddha and the small bead string that General Huyan asked for last time were all found, but they were ...... when he entered the city."

He looked at the soldiers, and the words below did not come out, but the retainers understood.

The retainer lowered his eyes and glanced at the crystal clear glass bead in his hand, which was a glass bead the size of a child's fist, and the beads were full of color, with three colors: red, green and purple.

The retainer saw such a treasure for the first time, and his eyes were straight, but he quickly came back to his senses, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and looked back at Wu Erlang with a calm face, "Is it the golden Buddha and pearls that the general asked?" ”

Seeing that the retainers liked this glass bead so much, Wu Erlang's heart moved, and he immediately said: "Yes, they all came according to the general's requirements, in addition to the golden Buddha and pearls, there are also glass from Yuzhou." ”

When the retainer heard that there was still Liuli, the expression on his face relaxed, and he smiled, he nodded and said, "Yes, you wait for it first." ”

Wu Erlang immediately bowed his head and stood aside.

Only then did the retainers look at the soldiers who brought them with a calm face, and said, "This is the caravan of our general's mansion, and you are too bold to even dare to stop the general's caravan!" ”

Wu Erlang frowned, thinking of the things they brought this time, he couldn't help but feel heartache, but fortunately after listening to Mr. Ming's words, half of the things were left outside, and they came in first to explore the way.

Who knew that all the connections he had laid down before were useless, and the Huns were too domineering, this was the first time he robbed the things of the original Zhongyang County, and even the things of the passing merchants.

The retainers gave them a lecture and drove the soldiers away.

Wu Erlang quickly glanced at the steward waiting on the side, and gave the soldiers a look, and the steward said that he understood.

When the retainers brought Wu Erlang and Ming Pre in, he spread his legs to chase those soldiers, took out the money bag on his body and stuffed it into the hands of the soldiers in charge, nodded and said: "Brother forgive me, brother forgive me, our head of the family also has to live by looking at the general's face, this time it is really troublesome for you." ”

The soldier touched the money bag, opened it, and saw that there was a large handful of Zhao's new money inside, and after turning it around, he felt that there was a lot of money, and his face was better.

He nodded and said, "We are all acting according to orders, as long as your master is not to blame." ”

"How dare you blame, how dare you blame," the steward said with a flattering smile: "We who are businessmen know the hard work of our brothers in defending the city, and so many people come in and out every day, but it is all up to you to maintain order and keep safe." ”

The soldier's face became even better, and he smiled, "You guys are also working hard, and now there are many bandits on the road, so it's not easy to walk, right?" ”

"Yes," the steward took the opportunity to cry, "with the general's face, most places are easy to walk, but there is chaos outside, and there are always some troubled people, so we have all pinned our heads to the waistband of our trousers." This entry and exit of the city gate has to be dotted up and down, and it will earn coarse food to eat. ”

The soldier groaned.

The steward stretched out his hand and took out a small glass bead and stuffed it into his hand, and said in a low voice: "If you want me to say, the dots above can't be missing, but the dots at the bottom can't be missing, after all, the people at the bottom are the people who do things, and the hardest ones are our people......"

The soldier glanced down at the glass beads, held them in his palm, and nodded, "Not bad." ”

The steward breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then please bear with me brothers in the future, and our caravan will still have to rely on you to be tolerant in the future." ”

The soldier should be down.

It is much easier to deal with the people who guard the city gates, and it is much easier for those who stay outside to come in again, which is much more cost-effective than the retainers of the general's mansion.

This time, the retainers directly picked up most of the things they brought, and only left Wu Erlang with a few miscellaneous small things, so that they could also see Hu Yanyu.
