Bianjing.

Palace.

"Where's Champion Hou?"

Zhao Jun asked as he handled the music in his hand.

Wang Huaien on the side immediately replied:

"According to the news that came back this morning, yesterday's champion Hou was less than three hundred miles away from Yumen Pass, and I think he should have arrived at Jinchuan Mansion by now, and he can reach Yumen Pass in one day at most."

"Well, how about the supply of military rations along the way? Questions? What about the military rations that Yumen Pass asked them to prepare? Don't wait until the army arrives and there is nothing enough, so that the champion Hou hurriedly goes out. ”

Zhao Jun continued to ask without raising his head.

Wang Huaien said with a smile this time:

"The emperor can rest assured that all supplies along the way are normal and there are no problems.

The secret guards on the side of Yumen Pass came with news yesterday that Chen Turin, the town of Beibo Chen on the side of Yumen Pass, had already begun to prepare grain and grass half a month ago, and as early as five days ago, all kinds of grain and grass that were enough for 10,000 cavalry to leave the pass for half a month and enough weapons and materials for several major battles had been prepared.

As soon as the champion Hou arrives at Yumen Pass, he will soon be able to complete the change of clothes and supplies, and he will not be able to delay his exit. ”

Zhao Jun finally stopped his pen, raised his head and said:

"Just get ready, by the way, have those ghosts who colluded with the Huns found any clues?"

In this regard, Wang Huaien said: "Emperor, we have secretly investigated all the military forts and cities in the entire Bianjing, and we have not found that the guards are suspected of colluding with the Xiongnu.

However, when the brothers were searching, they stumbled upon the appearance of more than a dozen villages in Suyun City that had been plundered by the Xiongnu before.

The slave has already arranged for someone to trace the source of these things, and I believe it will not be long before there will be clues. ”

Zhao Jun's eyes suddenly froze when he heard this!

Something from a looted village on the market?

Why does this look familiar?

Zhao Jun immediately asked, "What is the business situation of Hedong's generation now?" ”

Wang Huaien was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand what his emperor was talking about, and suddenly the topic shifted to the local business situation.

But since His Majesty has asked, he must know everything and answer everything, and say everything.

After recalling for a while, he replied: "Since the Xiongnu entered the Kou, the business environment of the entire Hedong can be described as a collapse.

But Hedong is also the salt production area of the Great Song Dynasty, and now most of the green salt on the market is produced from Qingtian County in Hedong, so relying on the first sale of salt, the business environment in Hedong will soon recover, but since Your Majesty you have re-nationalized the salt and iron, and private operations are not allowed, the business environment of the entire Hedong has plummeted again, and it has not slowed down until recently.

However, now the merchants in Hedong have suddenly sprung up eight major merchants, namely the Fan family with Fan Fa as the head of the family, the Wang family with Wang Ku as the head of the family, the Zhu family with Chopping Jade as the head of the family, the Tian family with Tian Lan as the head of the family, the Zhai family with Zhai Xue as the main family, the Wang family with Wang Yu as the head of the family, the grain price with Liang Bing as the head of the family, and the Huang family with Huang hair as the main family.

Originally, most of them were mainly engaged in animal husbandry, grain industry, iron smelting industry, and medicinal materials industry, but since the imperial court took over the power of salt and iron in the world, their main business has become animal husbandry, grain and medicinal materials.

Now it is also the top eight merchants in Hedong.

It seems that they have been throwing a lot of money recently, trying to open up trade routes to Guanzhong and Shonan, and expand the original business scale, but they have taken out a lot of silver, and their strength is quite strong. ”

"Fan, Wang, Chop, Wang, Liang, Tian, Zhai, Huang Bajia!

What a big eight merchants, you were different from those people in the past. ”

After muttering in a low voice, Zhao Jun immediately commanded:

"Let the Secret Guard check on them, I want to see how they can still have a lot of money to expand their business after losing the most profitable salt and iron industry."

Although he was puzzled, since His Majesty had ordered him to do so, Wang Huaien immediately responded: "No! ”

Soon the Dark Guard began to investigate in the shadows.

At this time, after three days of travel, 10,000 elite horsemen finally arrived at Yumen Pass.

As soon as the army arrived, the Yumen Pass guard Zhenbei Bochen Turin had already waited in front of the Guancheng.

As soon as he arrived at the city, Huo Qubing, who was far away, heard a voice: "But the champion Hou Huo is sick ahead?" ”

Huo Qubing fixed his eyes and saw that there was a young man wearing armor standing in front of him, followed by a group of soldiers playing the Zhenbei Bo flag, and he immediately knew that this should be the guard of Yumen Pass, Zhenbei Bochen Turin.

He immediately grabbed the horses, raised his hand to stop the army, and then replied:

"It's in the next, dare to ask the front is Zhenbei Bochen Turin?"

Immediately, Chen Duling's voice sounded loudly with joy:

"It's down there! Hahaha, the champion Hou came from afar, tired all the way, and now you can take a good rest when you arrive at Yumen Pass, this general is here to greet you, and please follow me into the city! ”

People warmly invited, Huo Qubing was not hypocritical, and immediately replied:

"Then there is Laozhen North Bole."

Immediately, the army entered the gate of Yumen Pass under the guidance of Chen Duling.

After coming to the city, Huo Qubing turned over and dismounted and came to Chen Duling's side, and the two began to talk about this exit when they marched side by side.

Huo Qubing asked directly to the point: "Uncle Zhenbei, this time I went to Bing to go out of the customs to strangle the Huns on the order of the emperor, I don't know if the grain, grass and weapons needed for my army can be prepared?" ”

Chen Turin immediately patted his chest and said: "Champion Hou rest assured, everything has already been prepared, and he will hand over to Champion Hou's subordinates tonight."

Champion Hou Yuan has come here, presumably he is tired, Ben Jiang has prepared hot water and food here, and you and I will talk about it after the champion Hou washes up! ”

Huo Qubing immediately surrendered his hand: "There's work over there!" ”

"You're welcome!"

……

By the time Huo Qubing finished washing, it was getting late.

Candles had already been lit in Chen Turin's garrison mansion, illuminating the inside and outside.

The two sat down separately, and each of them had roast chicken, fine wine and a few side dishes on the table.

Along the way, Huo Qubing was already hungry, and the army had to rest and reload and replenish supplies at Yumen Pass for three days, so he ate unceremoniously.

From time to time, I took a sip of wine and ate a hearty meal.

After a table of cups and plates was messy, he arched his hand at Chen Turin embarrassedly and said: "It made Zhenbei Bojian smile, he really came in a hurry, and he really didn't eat well, so he was a little out of proportion." ”

Chen Turin shook his head and said: "The champion Hou came for the emperor, he was tired all the way, and now he is just eating, it is not impertinent, you and I are both sergeants, so we are men."

Champions don't have to be guests.

Ben will be afraid that he will neglect the champion Hou is yes, and the champion Hou can be full? If there is no Ben General, let the people continue to serve. ”

Chen Turin said that he was about to call someone, but Huo Qubing hurriedly stopped him.

"Enough is enough, it's full, it's not needed."

"That's good!"

Chen Turin smiled with satisfaction.

Since you have already drunk three rounds and cooked five flavors, you should also get down to business.

Huo Qubingdang even asked: "Zhenbei Bojiu is at the border pass, can you know the situation outside the border now?" ”

Although there is information provided by the Imperial City Division along the way, it is necessary to ask the local people to know more about specific things, and the more information you know, the more beneficial it will be to the battle.

Huo Qubing will not miss any opportunity to obtain information.

Chen Turin didn't hide it, and immediately replied after organizing the language: "If you want to talk about this grassland outside the pass, it has changed a lot in the past two years, since the last time the champion Hou made a big fuss in the grassland, the tribes in the vicinity have all moved inward, but recently they have ......."
