Chapter 18 Paving the way

Chen Shou's Qinfeng wine has begun mass production, and various alcohol concentrations are adapted to people without using them. The packaging is also continuous and the high-end route is still taking.

The Great Qi in the Northern Land is different from the Southern Tang Dynasty. People are generally poor, so they may not spend money to buy wine, let alone perfume.

So Chen Shou simply positioned the audience as the powerful class, and today he took his carefully designed wine bottle and went to the porcelain kiln to customize it.

As soon as he left the gate of Qinfeng Camp, a knight came towards him and ran to Chen Shou before he tied the reins of the horse.

Although this set is smooth and handsome, it is very rude.

Zhang and Zhao Hong were raising Chen Shou early, which moved him a little, and finally did not raise a group of ungrateful wolves.

The strong wind in front made Chen Shou very upset, and the knight immediately clasped his fists and said, "Where is Chen Shou, the manager of Qin Feng Camp?"

Chen Shou wanted to shout loudly: Grandpa is here.

But this obviously doesn't work, you have to be timid.

"Chen Shou is here, what's the point of doing?"

The knight seemed to be very hurried and did not say much, "General Li is welcome."

"Which General Li?" Chen Shou asked in surprise.

"General of the Western Expedition, Li Wei."

After saying that, the knight left, leaving behind these people from Qin Fengying with big eyes.

The general Li Wei of the Western Expedition wanted to see him, which was much beyond Chen Shou's expectations, especially at this critical moment.

Liangzhou City knows that a war is coming, and Li Wei doesn't know how many major things he has to worry about at this time, so he actually took time to see him.

Could it be because I fooled his daughter every day?

The General of the Western Expedition was unique in the northwest, and Chen Shou himself was a little guilty.

A group of young soldiers wearing loose military jackets took their manager to the gate of the general's mansion in donkey carts. This time the door did not dare to delay and took him directly into the yard.

When he came to a simple study room, Chen Shou tidied up his clothes and heard the door crossing his hands and said, "Master, Chen Shou, the manager of Qin Fengying, asked for a meeting."

A majestic voice came from the study, "Let him come in."

When I entered the study, the furnishings were simple, with only one screen and one case, the wall was full of maps, and there was a sand table in the middle.

Chen Shou knew nothing about ancient military affairs, and did not know whether this sand table was created by his time travel predecessors or the product of the natural development of history.

He looked up gently, and a figure stood in front of the wooden screen, examining a huge map on the wall.

Li Wei was as famous as his name. Just looking at his back, he looked like an ordinary middle-aged man, nothing special. His fingers slowly passed through the map and moved to the upper left corner of the map. It was Hengshan, the old nest of Dangxiang people. Suddenly, his back thrust, and his back became majestic in an instant, just like an unattainable mountain, exuding a formidable momentum.

His figure is like a mountain and a shattered storm, as if no wind or rain can be destroyed.

"You are Chen Shou?"

"That's right." Chen Shou did not dare to neglect and bowed a little and replied.

Li Wei turned his head, unexpectedly, with a very elegant appearance, and the long beard under his jaw was as dark as ink. His black eyes looked calm and his divine light was restrained, showing an extraordinary demeanor.

"A nephew in my clan was injured on the front line of Yinzhou and was in pain. Ling Yue gave him a pot of strong wine, which actually had analgesic effects. I asked her only that you made it."

Chen Shou swallowed with difficulty and nodded.

Li Wei nodded with a smile, waved his hand to signal him to sit down without being nervous.

Chen Shou hurriedly said, "It's still comfortable to stand."

"You can make 'perfume' and strong wine continuously, which shows that you are not an ordinary person. If you look for my little daughter, I guess it's probably because you are afraid that our general's mansion will swallow all your money."

Chen Shou wanted to argue very much, but the person in front of him was not his stupid second daughter, so it would be better to be honest.

Seeing Chen Shou nodding, Li Wei smiled and felt even more satisfied. The young man was indeed very quick-minded.

"When Taizu expelled the Tartars and restored the Central Plains, our ancestors of the Li family made great contributions. Taizu ascended the throne, opened the General Mansion of Four Directions, and set up the General Mansion of the West in Liangzhou City. It was passed down from generation to generation by our Li family to guard the northwest."

"The northwest is not as good as other places. The Hu people here have not suffered any damage at all. Instead, they took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to gather fugitives and become much stronger."

"In order to fulfill Taizu's order, our Li family has been fighting in the northwest for decades, and there are only ten males in the clan so far."

Chen Shou was also a little impressed. They were somewhat similar to the Zong family in the Song Dynasty in later generations, with loyal and martyrs all over the family, and many people died on the battlefield.

Li Wei continued: "It is precisely because of this that I don't care about other places. In the northwest, I have always been talented! Since you have talent and have made great contributions to the general's mansion, even if you don't go to find my little daughter, I will promote and reuse you."

Chen Shou has never believed the words of the superiors, but this time he has no suspicion.

The person in front of me will not let go of his figure and deceive himself.

Chen Shou didn't even think about it. When would he not show his loyalty at this time?

"Chen Shou will repay the kindness of his master who knows his gratitude."

Li Wei said lightly, "Your talent is business, which can be seen from your cooperation with Zuiyuelou and their tricks. This time, Liu Zhiyuan comes back, you will replace him and be the caravan manager of our General's Mansion."

Chen Shou laughed and said, "The general will definitely be able to wipe out the Qiang people in Hengshan, and then the subordinates will be dispensable."

This was an extremely ordinary complimentary sentence. After hearing this, Li Wei pondered for a long time and said slowly: "You are not my subordinates and you will not participate in the war with me. You might as well tell you the truth. I have a little ominous premonition in this battle..."

Chen Shou was shocked and his legs became weak. Don’t catch me and scare me.

"Why did the Lord say this?"

Li Wei rubbed his eyebrows, "To be honest, there have always been people in the court, and I wish our army was defeated."

Chen Shou was even more scared. He accidentally got involved in this kind of struggle and didn't know how he died.

"Will the general and the leader still go to war? Since someone in the court colludes with foreign enemies, wouldn't it be?"

Li Wei's eyes became firmer, "Although there is this hidden danger, this time is a rare opportunity in a century. If you miss it, I don't know how many years it will take to fight in the Northwest."

"I have to give it a try!"—

Chen Shou came out of the General's Mansion and was a little lost.

It is certainly a good thing that I am valued by Li Wei, but I accidentally participated in the vortex of the court.

If you are not careful, you may be crushed to pieces.

The General's Mansion in the West already has such great energy. What he did with caution is actually under the control of Li Wei. He only needs one thought and he will have nowhere to hide.

Now the enemy behind him is a powerful tycoon in the court, which is more powerful than him, so why doesn’t it scare people?

After all, there are countless examples in history that can prove that generals cannot beat those civil servants and politicians who are heartbroken outside.

If you win this decisive battle, it will not be difficult for you to live a happy life by relying on the power of the general's mansion.

If Li Wei loses this, he is clearly paving the way for his heirs, and he will be a bluestone slab on the road.

Why did he ask him to replace Brother Liu? It was because Li Wei knew that if he was defeated, these confidants would definitely be implicated. At that time, the general's mansion would be greatly damaged and the political enemies in the court would not be soft-hearted.

If you want to support your successor, you can only rely on newcomers. Chen Shou is a pink and tender newcomer. So he aimed at himself to replace Liu Zhiyuan and continued to raise money for the general's mansion to fight.

The old general takes three moves in one step, and it is not a loss to fight, but he just sees far.

But it is too hard to assist a general's mansion in the northwest to continue to resist internal and external enemies with difficulty.
