The King of Fortune

Chapter 45
The three cities of Sishui Pass, Qinglong Pass and Jiameng Pass are a complete set of defense system. They are in a triangular shape geographically. From any pass, it only takes a few days for the army to reach directly along Shouyang Mountain. Xiqi City.

Not only that, the three levels are like horns, if one level is difficult, the other two levels may send troops to rescue, or go around to the enemy's rear, cutting off the enemy's food road, making it difficult to care about.

Since King Zhou came to the throne, the main force of the imperial court has been confined to Dongyi. Ji Chang took this opportunity, with the assistance of Jiang Ziya, to continuously expand his territory. After fighting against Kunyi and successfully suppressing the forces of Xirong, he became the head of the princes in one fell swoop. His national strength, vast territory, and large population are not inferior to those of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

With such strong capital, Xiqi did not dare to deal rashly with the big merchant soldiers. It was not because Ji Chang strictly abided by his ministers, but because he was not sure that he could pull out the three barriers of Sishui, Qinglong and Jiameng in one fell swoop.

Qinglongguan, with an important strategic position, is the dominant one in the hands of Zhang Guifang, and it seems to stand out among the princes of the eight hundred towns.Back then, Zhang Guifang was ordered to crusade against Xiqi, and handed over the pass to Qiu Yin.

At the beginning, Qiu Yin worked hard and paid close attention to the battles in Xiqi, but after learning that Jiang Ziya was repeatedly defeated, he and the generals lived a life of singing, dancing and peace, drunk and dreaming every day, very happy.

He had attained the Tao originally, cultivated into a human body, and did not have any background in the fairy world. He knew that there was no hope for the immortal way, so he resolutely went down the mountain to join the army to seek a fortune in the world.For him, no matter how chaotic the world is, as long as the flames of war do not affect him.

On this day, Qiu Yin invited four deputy generals to the mansion for a banquet as usual.This is his habit, a small banquet every three days, and a big banquet every five days. Zhang Guifang has painstakingly managed Qinglongguan for many years and left him a large sum of money, which is enough for him to squander for many years.

"Chief soldier, I heard that Deng Jiugong won another battle."

Ma Fang's tone was full of envy. Winning the battle means that he can be promoted and make a fortune, and the descendants of Fuyin. Once Xiqi is leveled, Deng Jiugong's prestige may be able to replace the deceased Wen Taishi. For a general, this is a lifelong pursuit. .

It's a pity that there was no battle at Qinglongguan, otherwise with his military exploits, he might be promoted to the top of the army.

Qiu Yin put down the wine cup in his hand, with a displeased expression on his face, when he dislikes drinking the most, someone spoils the fun.

Gao Gui was well versed in the way of observing words and expressions, so he said, "Master Chief, Ma Fang drank too much, so he can't choose what to say, you must not be as knowledgeable as him."

Ma Fang also came back to his senses, broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "My lord, forgive me, I will drink too much."

Qiu Yin looked at him slightly, and said: "Deng Jiugong has no ability to defeat Jiang Ziya, it is only because of Han Rong's advice. If he is going to go out, how can Deng Jiugong's military exploits fall on his head?"

There was a flattering smile on Gao Gui's face, and he flattered: "That is, the commander-in-chief will go out, and Jiang Ziya will be too scared to go out to fight."

"That's right, Jiang Ziya is just a villager who sells noodles. He only got to be the prime minister of a country by luck. How can he be compared with the general soldier."

Qiu Yin said with a smile: "Some time ago, Jiang Ziya repeatedly defeated the imperial army. I was a little worried that the flames of war would reach Qinglongguan. Now it seems that Jiang Ziya is just a waste of fame!"

If I knew this earlier, why would I send someone to show my love to Han Rong?

"With the commander in chief, don't say that the fire of war can't reach here, even if it burns here, with your ability, you can easily destroy Jiang Ziya."

"Ha ha!"

Qiu Yin burst into hearty laughter, everyone liked to compare him with Zhang Guifang, both of them knew spells, and both were general soldiers.But in Qiu Yin's heart, this is an insult to him, how can a dead person be compared with him.

No matter how great Zhang Guifang is, he has already turned into loess, this Qinglong Pass has nothing to do with him, and he is the only master of this city.

"Report to the general, there is a man outside the city calling himself Han Rong who wants to see you."

Just when several people were chatting and laughing, the butler of the Qiu Mansion came in to report.

Qiu Yin frowned, Han Rong was not in Xiqi, what did he come to Qinglongguan, did he come to visit him specially.

"Go and invite people in."

Han Rong's identity is there, and the current title is one level higher than his own. He can be rude, but he can't do too much, Qiu Yin thought to himself.Originally, according to the rules, he had to go out of the city to greet Han Rong in person with his lieutenant, but he looked down on Han Rong as a mortal, so he deliberately despised him.

The four generals knew each and every one of them well, and they didn't point it out.

About half a minute later, the butler led a calm middle-aged man into the hall.

"Deputy Marshal Han is here, and I will be disappointed in the end. Please forgive me."

While speaking, Qiu Yin said to several singers who were still singing and dancing: "Quickly step back, a group of blind people."

Han Rong looked at the half-eaten food and drinks on the tea table, as well as the disheveled singer, and said with a smile, "Qiu Zongbing is really busy, I hope I didn't disturb you!"

A mere earthworm dares to show off in front of me, I really don't know what to say, there will be opportunities to deal with you in the future.

Qiu Yin said: "Vice Marshal Han took time out of his busy schedule to come to Qinglong Pass. It's an honor for the last general. Don't you want to bother him." The city mansion fell deep.

"Qiu Zongbing's words are serious. Last time, at the dog's wedding, you sent someone to give gifts. I was very grateful, so I came here today, first to meet Qiu Zongbing, and second, to express my gratitude in person. "

The four sides are fighting, and the big business is at the time of life and death. Qiu Yin still has Xianxin and his lieutenants to spend time and wine, this man's heart is really big.

It seems that this Chengtang is hopeless, and the commanders of the towns are not united at all, they are like a piece of loose sand, and they have no fighting power.With his prestige, Grand Master Wen was able to consolidate this mess, but it's a pity that he is already dead.

Hearing this, Qiu Yin's expression was a little moved, so he said: "Vice Marshal Han is so polite, it really makes the general ashamed. Wait for a while, the general will ask someone to prepare a table of wine and food, and treat the deputy commander well."

Han Rong smiled and said: "If this is the case, Han will be disrespectful. It's just that last time, the general named Chen Qi was quite sympathetic to me, so I asked Mr. Qiu to send someone to invite him."

Qiu Yin showed surprise on his face, and said: "I didn't expect Chen Qi to be favored by Vice Marshal Han. It's really his great honor. Ma Fang, hurry up and ask Chen Qi to come to the banquet."

"promise."

Ma Fang was a little reluctant, a mere food supervisor, how could he be qualified to participate in such an important banquet.Needless to say, when Chen Qi went to Sishuiguan to give gifts, he would definitely flatter Han Rong.

Although the food supervisor is not a small official, it still depends on who works under him.

For example, Qiu Yin, he despises Chen Qi and refuses to invite him to every banquet.For Qiu Yin, there was no war at Qinglong Pass, and there was no danger in transporting food, and another person could still do a good job, so there was nothing to value.

There is another important reason, Chen Qi has a straightforward personality, he doesn't know how to flatter, and there are several noble people in front of him, so he is naturally not welcomed by Qiu Yin.

When Qiu Yin said this, Han Rong guessed that he didn't know Chen Qi's ability, so he said: "This commander saw that he is a good-looking talent, and his conversation is extraordinary, so he was moved to cherish his talent."

Hearing this, Qiu Yin smiled and said, "So that's how it is. Since the deputy commander values ​​him, why don't we bring him to the front line and serve the country. This is also a fortune for him."

"This statement is true!"

Han Rong was overjoyed, he really had nowhere to look for, and it took no effort at all. He didn't expect Qiu Yin to be so short-sighted, and he liked this kind of self-righteous fool so much.

"At any rate, the last general is a dignified general, so what he says naturally counts."

Qiu Yin didn't care, for him, it was enough for him to have himself in Qinglong Pass, and as for the four lieutenants, he had the right to relieve himself.Chen Qi is dull and boring, it doesn't make much sense to stay by his side.

"Okay, then thank Mr. Qiu for ceding the talents."

Han Rong said with a smile, this trip was worth it, and with Chen Qi joining, he would be able to spare more time to practice.
