The news that the Wei family once again sent troops to the north cannot be concealed from the investigation of those who are interested.
Especially some people with grudges. On the one hand, these people are jealous of the growth of the Wei family, but on the other hand, they are trying their best to win over the Wei family.
Just like the Wang family in Taiyuan, they are both members of the Hedong family. The Wang family has now settled in Luoyang, but there are also clan members stationed on the Hedong side.
Wang Qian, also known as Chang Wen, is the brother of the Wang Yun clan, and is also the face-to-face talker and person in charge of the Wang family in Taiyuan.
Wang Qian was jealous, and he would retaliate for his harsh actions, and as a member of the Wang family in Taiyuan, he also had this strength.
But just three months ago, Wang Qian kicked the iron plate, and this matter had to start with Liu Biao's wife, Mrs. Cai.
At that time, Mrs. Cai brought Liu Cong for a blind date. Wang Qian was very satisfied with Liu Cong and planned to marry his daughter to Liu Cong.
Fortunately, Liu Cong was killed, which directly disrupted his next plan.
Wang Qian was dissatisfied with Wang Yun for a long time, and wanted to use the Liu family to secure his status as the elder of the Wang clan in Taiyuan, and took the opportunity to plot the position of leader of the Wang Yun clan.
But someone didn't give him face and killed his prospective son-in-law in front of a lot of idiots. This was no different than a slap in the face.
Wang Qian hated the Wei family ever since.
In recent days, shocking news has been coming from the Wei family. Wang Qian knew that he was no match for the power of the Wei family, so he endured it.
But sometimes, opportunities come so unexpectedly.
Just three days ago.
King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu found Wang Qian, and the two talked until midnight and finalized a plan to destroy the Wei family.
In the past three days, Hu businessmen continued to enter the county where Taiyuan is located. Over the years, Hu businessmen have looked extremely tough, and they were even more arrogant and domineering in the face of ordinary people. Those who did not conceal the truth would be killed on the spot or handed over to the police.
Wang's treatment.
Some people may have guessed the identities of these so-called Hu merchants. Yes, these people are actually Huns cavalry in disguise.
In just three days, nearly 50,000 Huns bypassed the Wei family and entered Taiyuan, Hedong from the west.
These people are waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that can overthrow the Wei family in an instant.
And today, this opportunity has come.
The Wei family once again sent the city guards on their backs, accompanied by five hundred Longshan troops. In other words, the most important force of the entire Wei family had left, and Anyi County was only defended by a mere 3,000 city guards.
As for the city guards who are responsible for patrolling and guarding, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu has already sent people to investigate, and there is nothing to fear from these people.
Ever since his Qingya tribe was destroyed, King Zuo Xian has been looking for opportunities to fight back.
The reason why he captured Yuan Shao's son was all part of his plan.
"Are you sure they are going north?" King Zuo Xian sat at the head of the largest mansion in Taiyuan County with a clear mind.
The person who responded nodded and said: "I'm sure, 2,500 people have crossed the border of Taihang Mountain and headed towards the agreed location."
King Zuo Xian was overjoyed when he heard this.
Wang Qian, who was accompanying him next to him, laughed and said: "Okay, okay, great! It's a good move to divert the tiger away from the mountain. It's only a snap to capture Anyi."
King Zuo Xian raised his head arrogantly, looked at Wang Qian, and said: "As long as there is enough food and grass, it is not a matter of just Anyi. I can even acquire the entire Hedong County for you. I only need Brother Wang to show a certain degree of sincerity." . ”
Wang Qian's expression changed slightly. Although he agreed to jointly deal with the Wei family, it did not mean that he would definitely betray the nation.
King Zuo Xian is very dangerous, Wang Qian knows it.
Regardless of the young age of this Huns, according to Wang's intelligence, this man had killed two of his own brothers and one younger brother before he could legitimately ascend to the throne. Before that, he had been unknown. .
Wang Qian cupped his hands and said: "This matter needs to be discussed separately with the clan brothers. If you want to take the land of Xiliang, you must first pass Dong Zhuo's test."
King Zuo Xian did not force Wang to give a definite answer now. He just mentioned that the most important thing now is of course to avenge his own people, otherwise he, the majestic King Zuo Xian, would be scolded on the grassland. died.
···
Anyi.
Xu Huang led his troops northward. This was the third expedition of the city guards in half a year. They seemed to come every once in a while, and everyone was used to it.
Life still has to go by. Although the families of the city guards are worried about the safety of their families, they also believe that their children or husbands will be able to come back safely.
"Guard Wei, if we don't pick the cabbage this time, I'm afraid it will rot in the ground."
In the warm vegetable greenhouse, everyone looked happy as they looked at the wonderfully growing wok.
The steward nodded and said, "I'll ask Mr. Tian later. Logically speaking, it's time for the instructions to come out."
At this time, a young man ran in from the door.
The young man gasped and said, "Dad, Mr. Tian said that after all the wild rice is harvested, he will send someone to clean it, and someone will pick it up later."
"Finally there is news. It seems that this time there are big customers coming to buy from us. All these cabbages have been sold. We can also get a lot of food stamps like the Luohe District, hahaha." The vegetable grower The dealers were all smiling.
Hearing this, the young man directly denied: "No, this time it's not a takeout. This time the owner wants to collect the cabbage himself. I heard that it will be made into kimchi and distributed to everyone for consumption in the winter."
"Pickle?"
"Does that mean I can't get food stamps?"
"There is no other way. Since the master wants it, we have no choice but to accept it."
"This is too unfair. The Luo Shu district got food stamps, and the bean sprouts are also available there. When it's our turn, the Shu Cai district gets nothing..."
"What did you say?" The steward glared angrily.
The complaining farmers were silent one by one. After they came to their senses, they suddenly realized that maybe they were living a comfortable life, and they started to become arrogant. You must know that they were still Wei family farmers. Not to mention food stamps, they could not do anything before. It would be nice to have something to eat.
When the young man saw this, he said with a smile: "You are complaining now. I'm afraid you will regret it after ten days and a half. Although I don't know what this pickle is, but when has the item brought out by the owner been cheap? Besides, , The second master also said that each household in charge of the rice fields can get three more cans of kimchi."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The farmers were confused. They really had no idea about kimchi. It was not like food stamps or pots and pans. Because they couldn’t see it, they didn’t know much about it.
They were happy, but now that it was over, they had no choice but to accept their fate.
After picking the cabbage, the farmers sent the cabbage to the moat to be cleaned, and then people from the inner city picked it up.
All the cleaned cabbage was sent to the backyard of a restaurant.
At this time, Wei Cheng and others had been waiting in the backyard for a long time.
Along with the cabbage, there were pickle jars with unique lids, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Aunt Niu has already practiced it several times in the house, so she is naturally responsible for teaching the kimchi making technique.
Twenty or so women watched with their eyes open and listened with their ears clear, fearing that they would miss any detail.
Wei Cheng took a can of kimchi that he had made earlier and sat with Tian Feng chatting and laughing.
Kimchi accompanies wine, and the more you drink, the better.
Besides, what the two of them drank was sweet wine, the kind of alcohol that would make everyone drunk even if they were not drunk.
"Sir, if this kimchi is managed well, the profit will be no less than that of cloth and ironware." Tian Feng has discovered the value of kimchi.
The seasonings in this era are very simple, and because rich people eat meat all the time, they are particularly fond of food that relieves greasiness and foods with strong flavors.
Kimchi is not only crisp and sour in the mouth, but also has a vegetable fragrance that can remove the greasiness of meat. Such a miraculous effect is difficult for ordinary fruits and vegetables to do. Especially those princes and nobles will definitely like this novel food.
.
On the contrary, those farmers who only eat one meal of meat every three days probably do not like the delicious taste of kimchi. At most, they just treat it as a novelty to taste freshness. In the end, they will still sell it to the merchants who come to buy it.
Therefore, Wei Cheng decided to give them three cans of pickles instead of food stamps as a reward after discussing with Tian Feng.
Both of them had a hunch that kimchi would become an indispensable dish on the nobles' tables.
After three rounds of drinking.
Tian Feng looked up at the setting sun in the west, smiled suddenly, and said, "It's almost time to come."
Wei Qing's expression changed, and he said with a slight smile on his lips: "That's about it. This crop of cucumbers has been harvested. Let the villagers stay in the city for a few days to avoid unnecessary casualties."
"Hahaha……"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, which frightened the women washing the kimchi jar aside with confused expressions on their faces.
···
at the same time.
On the vast grassland, a majestic cavalry drove through abandoned tribes with billowing red dust.
Yuan Shao looked at the Huns tribe with traces of burning along the way in surprise, with a look of surprise on his face. What happened on the grassland?
At this time, Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said: "Then, this tribe is the place where Liu Datou is famous. This kid can marry such a good wife, thanks to this tribe."
When everyone heard this, they all made fun of the old and blushing Liu Datou in the team. He had rescued the skinny woman here, and when he returned to Anyi, the woman married him.
What Liu Datou didn't expect was that his mother-in-law was actually literate and knew how to do business. She respected her parents and elders at home, and earned a lot of money from merchants outside by relying on her ability to read numbers.
This was also thanks to the food stamps given to them by Wei Cheng. Many of the family members of the city guards were illiterate, so Liu Zhang took them to make money together. Everyone got a benefit and believed in her. Moreover, with Liu Datou's endorsement, they were not afraid of Liu Zhang.
Get food stamps and run away.
Gradually, Mrs. Liu Zhang's reputation grew. More and more people knew that she had food stamps in her hands. Mrs. Liu's business grew bigger and bigger. She even opened a grocery store in the satellite city where she was located, specializing in selling food stamps.
Some things require food stamps, cloth stamps, and material stamps to buy.
Some merchants who had no connections to get tickets could only buy goods from her at high prices. Some even paid ten to twenty times the price difference for a few bars of soap.
To everyone's relief, although Liu Zhang made money, he had no intention of leaving Liu Datou. He still served his parents-in-law every day, and evenly distributed the profits to the villagers who provided food stamps, taking everyone with him.
Let’s make a fortune together.
For such a good lady, many people envied Liu Datou for finding a treasure and having eight lifetimes of bad luck. Otherwise, why would such a good thing happen to him... Mainly because Liu Zhang dressed up a little, and she was still a good lady.
A beautiful beauty.
"Liu Datou, you are going to treat me to a drink this time when you go back. You are so stupid. You are so envious of us." When someone heard about these things, they immediately became sour.
Liu Datou was also grand and said with a smile: "It's easy to have a drink. Everyone will go later."
"Look at how proud this bitch is."
"If I had such a good wife, I would also treat you to wine and meat."
"Come on, Liu Datou is just unlucky. Didn't you hear that Zhao Da from the next door shop also rescued a woman and went back, but he didn't expect that he just took the money and ran away after staying for a few days."
"Hiss...is there such a thing?"
"That's not the case. After all, the women who can be captured are all good-looking, and their family backgrounds are beyond our comparison. Maybe there are their family members somewhere that they can seek refuge with. Unlike Liu Datou's wife, I heard that all the family members are dead..."
"Alas~"
This trip for everyone was not like marching to fight, but rather like sightseeing and enjoying the scenery along the way. They spent more time chatting than being vigilant.
Yuan Shao didn't understand. If a group of people like this weren't wearing the legendary black armor, what else could they do?
Everyone said how powerful the Wei clan's city guards were. I was accompanying them all the way, but why didn't I notice what was particularly powerful about them?
Yuan Shao shook his head and sighed along the way, feeling regretful for asking for help from the Wei clan. The Wei clan's powerful army was nothing more than that!
at this time.
Toot!
Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment.
What happened next was an unexpected scene for him.
I saw that the city guards, who were still carefree at first, suddenly became nervous.
For the first time, Yuan Shao felt the iron-blooded atmosphere from these people. They were all laughing and joking just now, but now they felt like ferocious beasts and birds dormant in the mountains and forests, with a strong threat of breaking out and hurting people at any time.
Come.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Everyone is here, the 800-mile rapid march begins!"
There was no warning, and it didn't give everyone too much time to prepare. It was said to be a rush march, but it was a rush march.
Led by the Longshan Army in the front row, Xu Huang took the lead and turned the horse's head back to the original route.
Rumble...the army followed closely behind.
When Yuan Shao saw this, his expression changed drastically.
He hurriedly rode to catch up and roared: "Xu Gongming, what are you doing? Why don't you continue going north?"
Xu Huang galloped past with a whip in his hand. After glancing at him, he said solemnly: "I, the Longshan Army, do not need to explain to you what I am doing."
"Drive... drive..."
Zhang Fei, Hua Kun, Yang Feng, Hao Zhao, and the five hundred Longshan Army ignored Yuan Shao's angry glare and flew past him.
Following closely behind were two thousand city guards, who also turned a blind eye to Yuan Shao's gaze. Even the people who had talked and laughed with Yuan Shao on the road turned a blind eye to him at this time.
No one knew why they suddenly turned around, they just knew they were following orders.
Xu Huang, the only one who got the news, had a contemptuous smile on his face. He had been holding back all the way. If the news didn't come out, he would probably kill a few Huns tribes to satisfy his addiction.
"Mr. Xun, is the information correct?" Xu Huang turned around and asked Xun Yu worriedly.
Xun Yu touched the object in his arms, and the slight but rhythmic trembling continued. According to the code word taught by Wei Cheng, he confirmed it again, nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed the code word to come back for support."
"That's good." Xu Huang laughed, his eyes gradually became bloodshot, and his whole person became violent.
Xun Yu frowned slightly, feeling that it was necessary to report Xu Huang's occasional madness to Wei Cheng, so as not to spoil things at a critical moment.
