Chapter 610: Backhand
A box that is not much bigger than a palm, a bottle of six thumbs the size of a bottle, I don’t know what it is, but it actually costs 200 taels of silver. Cao Hui’s entourage’s face changed immediately.
"Why don't you rob two hundred taels of silver?" he said coldly, "The man is not short of money, but he is not fool. Don't think we are outsiders, so you want to kill us."
The shopkeeper's smile remained unchanged, and he ignored the guy, and looked at Cao Hui: "This master is aware of the goods. I think I know this thing must be worth the price."
Cao Hui didn't say anything, so he put the box in his arms, turned around and left.
“Pay.”
The follower was stunned for a moment, took out a few silver notes from his arms, threw them on the counter, turned around and followed Cao Hui to walk out.
"Master, this is too expensive, right?"
Cao Hui shook his head. The things Wang Yueyao made were always so incredible. The masks used to be unpredictable. Now they have made perfumes, which really make money. Thinking of Wang Yueyao, I couldn't help but think of her now that the delicate lady can't do anything except spend money and act coquettishly. Fortunately, Cao Hui's status is not lower than her father, at least the lady dares not give up her temper.
In Chang'an City, the once huge prince's mansion has now become the Cao Mansion. The adoptive father was addicted to studying the secrets of Emperor Li Qing and could not extricate himself. In the past, there was only Weizhuang, but now there is another Wenhui chapter. Three of the four top masters of the world gathered in Chang'an.
Cao Hui had a different view on this point. People always have to live in the present. No matter how tempting the secret left by Emperor Li Qing a thousand years ago, he was really afraid that one day, his adoptive father and others would seriously study something, and they would disappear without a trace.
This is not a good thing for Qi State.
I was slowly walking on the street, but I was thinking about everything I saw in Yue State all the time. No, it should be the Ming Empire now.
Cao Hui smiled in his own smile. The guy who was chased by him in the Luoying Mountains to almost no way out of heaven, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no way, no matter what he had done, if he didn't hate him so much, he would give him a knife and give him a pleasure, now there would be nothing left.
But because of the word hatred, I wanted him to slowly experience the feeling of death while being obsessed with, but gave him a glimmer of hope. Life should not be lost! Cao Hui sighed.
Qin Feng was undoubtedly a smart man. When almost all the court officials in Qi were speculating that Qin Feng would carry out a major purge on Yue to consolidate his rule after he took it seriously, he did the opposite and incredibly tolerate these old Yue nobles and gentry into his new country.
There is no doubt that Wang Yueyao played a crucial role in this process. Money can always change many people and many things.
Why do I always think about it in my mind and end up going around Wang Yueyao?
He sighed. Wang Yueyao should be twenty-four years old this year. She is the one who delayed her. Moreover, I am afraid she will never be able to pay off this account.
He reached out and patted his cheeks gently, pulling his thoughts back. The State of Yue quickly and smoothly transitioned to the Ming Empire, which is of course not good for Qi. Just look at Qin Feng's ability to govern in Shayang, Taiping City and other places. The strong rise of the Ming Empire will be unstoppable. For Qi, they must find something to do.
Whether it is Jiang Haokun or the barbarians, it is the thing the Qi people asked for Qin Feng. If Jiang Haokun and the barbarians succeed, and the Ming Empire is in chaos, it would be extremely wonderful.
"Young Master, Young Master!" An urgent call came from behind. Cao Hui turned around and frowned slightly. A personal soldier was running over in a hurry.
"Young Master, Qin Li has arrived at the camp. Please go back immediately." The personal soldiers lowered their voices.
"Qin Li came to me?" Cao Hui was stunned and asked, "Have you said anything?"
"It seems to be about Fuyuan County, but judging from his appearance, it seems that the situation is not very optimistic." said the personal soldier.
After hearing this, Cao Hui said nothing, turned around and walked back.
Outside the city, Qin Li was at the residence of the Qi envoy, rubbed his hands and feet, and was a little uneasy. Before the uprising, everything was well planned, but it was not the same when it was actually implemented.
As soon as the curtain of the big tent was lifted, Cao Hui walked in.
"Sir!" Qin Li jumped up and bowed to one knee.
"Okay, okay, let's talk, what's going on?" Cao Hui waved his hand impatiently, and he was also anxious to know the situation on the battlefield.
"Jiang Haokun was defeated." Qin Li whispered: "First in Tzu Chi, Jiang Haokun's left army attacked the city guarded by the Pili Camp, and suffered heavy losses. Later, Jiang Haokun divided his troops into Xinhua and suffered heavy damage. No one expected that Qin Feng would actually bring the miners' camp and his personal guards' death camp to Xinhua, and sent Liu Xingwen's Houtu Camp to cut off the connection between the right army of the Jiang army and the central army on the south bank of the Luo River. Ten thousand troops of the Jiang army were destroyed in Xinhua. Now Jiang Haokun has retreated to Fuyuan. Not to mention attacking Zhengyang and other places, even self-protection has become a problem."
"After all, the mud cannot support the wall." Cao Hui said angrily: "Where is Wu Teng? What is he doing?"
"The weapons of the city guarding the Pili Camp are too powerful. General Wu Teng is unwilling to use Long Xiang Army to touch this iron plate, so Long Xiang Army did not attack the city, and now he retreated to Fuyuan with Jiang Haokun. However, General Wu Teng has a letter describing the weapons of the Pili Camp in Tzu Chi. The villain has brought it. In the letter, General Wu Teng praised these weapons and asked us to get information about these things at all costs, otherwise we will definitely suffer a great loss when we meet the Ming army in the future."
After taking the letter from Qin Li, Cao Hui did not rush to open it, "Where is the barbarian? He was also defeated?"
"Absolutely." Qin Li nodded and said, "Murong Kaishan's main attacker first took down the Stone Forest of the Altitude City, but in Xinxiang, it was blocked by the Ming army's Ruijin Camp."
"Ruijin Camp? Is it the army nicknamed " led by monk?" Cao Hui asked.
"Yes, Murong Kaishan not only suffered losses from his troops, but also himself was also injured by a woman with a knife, and almost lost his life." Qin Li said.
"A woman?" Cao Hui was slightly stunned. "I didn't hear that there were female generals in the army, except for Yinggu, but if he really encountered Yinggu, would he still have his life?"
"No, I heard that I am quite young." Qin Li shook his head and said, "The Central Army was defeated in the first battle. Later, Murong Hong led the main force to fight in person, but the reinforcements of the Ming army also came. The Panshi Camp led by Zhang Xiaozheng, Chen Zhihua's Giant Wood Camp, and Chen Jinhua's Hongshui Camp set up a formation in front of the barbarian army. Murong Hong attacked for many days, and both sides suffered losses, but the barbarian army had no inch. On the battlefield, it seemed that the barbarian army had lost. You must know that the main force of the Ming army has not yet gone up!"
"We still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army and underestimated Qin Feng's confidence." Cao Hui sat down, crossed his fingers, and made a sound. "He actually let the barbarian army go and deal with Jiang Haokun first. I have to say that it was a wonderful flag. Once Jiang Haokun was defeated, the barbarian army would be unable to support it. Qin Li, go back immediately and tell Murong Hong to retreat immediately, save his strength first, and then fight, and his old capital will be refracted."
"Retreat? Lord Cao, why not let them fight to the death? How many barbarians die has nothing to do with us!" Qin Li said strangely.
"I'm confused, what I want is not the death of the barbarians, I want them to persevere for a long time. So what if they fight over Qin Feng's battalions? Now Qin Feng has a whole country and can quickly replenish new soldiers. But as long as the barbarians still exist, they will restrain Qin Feng's troops and consume their wealth. This is not a one-time transaction."
"I understand." Qin Li nodded.
"Besides, tell Wu Teng that if you want to choose the right time to fight a battle, it is best to win a battle and boost their morale. You can't let them lose a thousand miles." Cao Hui thought for a while and said again.
"As for orders, I will tell Wu Teng, but Lord Cao, there is another thing, that is, Murong Jing sneaked into Yuejing City to rescue Prince Wu Jing, the country's prince. The early operation was quite smooth and Wu Jing was rescued. But later, not only Murong Jing, but also Wu Jing completely lost the news. I wonder if you have received information from this area here. Murong Hong was a little quarreling. Murong Jing is an important general under his command."
Cao Hui shook his head: "I only know that the plan to rescue Zhou Tai failed. Zhou Tai and those who went to rescue all died in Yuejing City, and we also compensated several important spies. Murong Jing should still be alive, and Wu Jing should still be on the run, because the Eagle Nest in Ming Dynasty is still chasing and blocking each other, but I don't know where Wu Jing has been."
"Mr. Cao, Jiang Haokun hopes that our Daqi can increase its support for him." Qin Li said.
"Increase support?" Cao Hui sneered: "How else should we support him? Could it be that we, Grand Qi, will we, send troops personally? If he thinks so, tell him, don't dream. If we really want to go to war with Qin Feng, we will be so happy that we will only be Chu and the Qin people. At that time, the Three Kingdoms will fight against Qi again."
"I'm worried that once Jiang Haokun feels unable to hold on, will he surrender to Qin Feng?" Qin Li said with some concern.
"Surrender?" Cao Hui smiled: "It's not impossible. Qin Li, you have to make some preparations when you go back this time. If Jiang Haokun really has this idea, then let Murong Hong take over him and let Murong Hong completely control the four counties of Fuyuan. Murong Hong will never surrender."
