The high-level meeting in the palace, Zhuang Shaoyou didn't know about it at all.

The next day, the palace summoned a large court meeting on the first day of the first month, and all officials in Luoyang City with a rank of more than 100 stones needed to participate.

Today is May 28th, and there are still three days to go.

In the morning, Jian Shuo sent someone to inform Zhuang Shaoyou of what happened last night, and Zhuang Shaoyou realized that He Jin and Dong Chong actually looked at themselves so unpleasantly, especially the damn He Jin, who had just accepted his own gift, and dared to do this, it was simply inferior to a beast!

When Sun Qian heard this, he came to ask for guilt, Zhuang Shaoyou naturally wouldn't blame, but he was in a bad mood, this gift was given for nothing! It's shameless to meet such a villain!

Sun Qian's eyes rolled and muttered in Zhuang Shaoyou's ear, Zhuang Shaoyou was stunned and asked, "Is Gongyou's words true?" Is this really possible? ”

"Hehe, general, my subordinates guarantee the head of the item! Absolutely! Sun Qian said confidently.

Zhuang Shaoyou disagreed: "Even if it's not feasible, General Ben is not willing to take off your head!" Go for it! ”

When Sun Qian heard this, his heart was warm, and he was very moved, and it was a great blessing in his life to win the winner! So he hurriedly saluted and said solemnly: "My subordinates are willing to smear the general's liver and brain, and then die!" ”

After Sun Qian retreated, Zhuang Shaoyou summoned Ronghua to discuss again, and each went separately.

In the afternoon of the same day, Sunday received the merchants who came to trade on the ship.

"Boss Zhou, you are now a celebrity in the business community in Luoyang! What a role model for us businessmen! ”

"Yes! Boss Zhou, now in the entire Luoyang City, when it comes to your name, it is all admiration! If Boss Zhou is willing to go to Luoyang to do business, it will really be an honor for me! ”

"That's it, as long as Boss Zhou says a word, we will definitely dredge Luoyang up and down properly, Boss Zhou just needs to come in with confidence! At that time, Boss Zhou, you will be responsible for purchasing the goods, and we will be responsible for selling, and we will make a lot of money in Luoyang, and ensure that you will make a lot of money, which is much more than making wholesale money at this wharf! ”

Zhou Tian smiled and said, "Everyone, do you really think that Zhou doesn't know?" The depth of the water in Luoyang City is famous in the world, a distant relative of Zhou, is also doing business, came here to do business at the beginning of the year, and wanted to touch the door of Luoyang, but I heard that the most powerful person in Luoyang City is the general, so my relative prepared a generous gift to dredge the door, the general received a gift, my relative thought that it was foolproof, so he was relieved to boldly enter Luoyang City.

That batch of specialties was also sold for a total of 30 million yuan, just when my relative was happily planning to return, the result of the general's mansion saw the wealth, and sent someone to intercept my relative at night, fortunately he had a big life, and he got away with it, but the 30 million yuan was looted, and dozens of his subordinates were also slaughtered! It's not miserable! You persuaded Zhou to enter Luoyang, it wouldn't be something else, right? ”

"Is Boss Zhou's words serious? How could a great general do such a treacherous act? ”

"Hmph, is Zhou still going to lie to you? Do you think Zhou doesn't know how to make more money in the city? But did Zhou rush to go? People like He Jin dare to be treacherous and unscrupulous to seek money and kill people, not to mention others! To tell you the truth, Zhou's ten ships of goods are definitely worth more than 100 million yuan! If Zhou entered the city rashly, wouldn't it be a sheep into the tiger's mouth? Suicide? ”

All the businessmen were dumbfounded, the boss is too rich this week, 100 million yuan of goods? Even in Luoyang, it is definitely the first luxury businessman second to none!

"Everyone, if you have nothing to do, just disperse first! Zhou still has some things to do! Thank you for your bearing! ”

"Boss Zhou, take care, I'm waiting to leave!"

Those businessmen got up and left, and an inconspicuous businessman deliberately mentioned: "Boss Zhou, if you are talking about He Jin here today, it will definitely reach his ears, then He Jin is a person who will be repaid, Boss Zhou should be careful!" ”

Zhou Tian smiled heartily: "As long as Zhou doesn't enter the city, what can he do to me?" He is very good, but I am not a vegetarian in Zhou, if he dares to come, I guarantee that he will not be able to eat and walk around! ”

At the same time, Ronghua also secretly sent people to spread rumors about He Jin, spreading the news that the palace was on fire and that Zhuang Shaoyou gave gifts to He Jin, and that He Jin still framed Zhuang Shaoyou after receiving the gifts.

That night, there was a slight wave in the business circles of Luoyang City, and the remarks about the general He Jin disappeared, but they still did not attract the attention of the scholar class.

The next day, May 20th, Luoyang City began to stir, the ordinary people of the city are talking about it, I heard that this general He Jin is extremely shameless, dishonest to others, both received gifts and framed others, to be such a person, it is really speechless!

On the third day, the remarks about He Jin spread all over the city, and the two rumors, one true and one false, spread wildly in Luoyang, and finally even the scholar class was alarmed.

"He Jin Xiao'er, he is a rural butcher, he will repay him, and he is stubborn and self-serving, so it is reasonable to do such animal behavior!"

"He Jin, as a general, has repeatedly broken his trust in others, which is a shame for my scholars!"

"Then He Jin is a butcher, relying on the queen He Lian and the ten permanent servants to rise, he can't be regarded as a scholar at all!"

General He Jin's mansion, the housekeeper trembled and reported the rumors of the city to He Jin, then He Jin was furious, slapped the case with one palm, got up and shouted: "Someone! Send someone to burn the damned fleet outside the city to General Ben! Leave no one alive! Everything of value is brought back to General Ben!

Send the Tiger Benlang General Yuan Shu to surround the camp of the Northern Army for me! The city is under martial law for three days! Ban people on the streets! Anyone who wantonly slanders this general will be arrested! Find out who did it for General Ben! ”

"General, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, right? If this is the case, isn't it true that the rumors are true? Moreover, martial law for three days may cause dissatisfaction among the people! ”

"Get out! Hurry up and do it! Does General Ben still use you to teach? He Jin roared as he smashed a tea bowl towards the housekeeper, who didn't dare to persuade him anymore when he saw this, sighed, and hurried to do it.

……

Zhuang Shaoyou stood in the official office of the Northern Army camp in military uniform, and Sun Gan stood next to him, and said with some trepidation: "General, my subordinates didn't expect that He Jin would react so strongly, please punish the general!" ”

Zhuang Shaoyou didn't care and said: "Long pain is better than short pain!" Even if he can't solve the problem at once, he has to be a little worried, he can't be so unscrupulous, is it really General Ben a soft eggplant in the pot? If it weren't for the help of Empress Dowager Dong and Empress He last night, General Ben would probably have moved by now! ”

At this moment, Le Jin came in and reported: "General, the sergeant has been assembled!" ”

"Well, the soldiers who are willing to obey the arrangement have already been arranged, right? Have the soldiers learned all the new weapons and equipment? ”

"General rest assured, the last wave has been sent out of the city from the East City Gate last night, and Director Zhou has already made arrangements! The weapons and equipment sent the day before yesterday have been distributed, and after two days of practice, the soldiers have learned how to operate, but they are not very proficient! ”

After Zhuang Shaoyou listened, he nodded slightly, it is estimated that the thunder and rain will be small tonight, but they must be deterred, after all, they can be at an absolute disadvantage, if they can't knock the mountain and shake the tiger, they will definitely not be able to move an inch in Luoyang in the future!

At the same time, Zhou Tian sat on the boat and listened to the report of his subordinates

"Director Zhou, two quarters of an hour ago, a group of officers and soldiers drove out from the south gate of Luoyang, heading towards the wharf, and they will arrive in a quarter of an hour!"

Zhou Tian said disdainfully: "Hmph! I'm afraid he won't come! Now that you're here, don't think about leaving! On my order, the merchant ship will immediately set sail and enter the waterway of the Yellow River to stand by! Those who dare to stop will be killed! The warship also set sail and standby! Get ready for battle! ”

…………

Guarding the camp of the Northern Army, Zhuang Shaoyou, Le Jin, and Sun Qian were discussing many matters tonight, and at this moment, his soldiers came to report that He Jinjun had forced into our camp!

"Let's go, let's go out and have a look!"

Zhuang Shaoyou, Lejin and Sun Qian came to the gate of the camp together, in the past two days, the gate of the camp has been partially repaired, and a lot of antlers and horses have been set up; More than 2,000 combatable soldiers, lined up in a neat four-horizontal column, each with an improved Mojia crossbow machine, with a range of 250 steps, light and fast, a double burst, absolutely sharp!

There are also a hundred ballistas, with a range of 100 steps, eight consecutive shots at a time, and three people operate, and now they are all ready to wait, as long as Zhuang Shaoyou gives an order, the first round of strikes is the arrow rain of 5,000 crossbow arrows! If there is a real conflict, I am afraid that he will not be able to enter without paying the price of blood! I guess He Jin wouldn't do such a stupid thing, right?

Zhuang Shaoyou's expression was calm, pondering what might happen later, and he was good to prepare in advance; Lejin on the side was confused, what kind of formation is this? I don't think I've seen it before!
