I received my adopted son in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 16
"Here, this General Xu, isn't he playing tricks on a villain?"

The store owner who has been robbed and beaten in business, and almost died several times, feels like dreaming at this moment, never thinking that such a stuffed pie will fall in the world.

But Xu Rong showed his classic upright face and said, "Do you think Ben Zhonglang looks like that kind of person?" He said, and handed the gold cake in his hand to the shopkeeper.

Zhang Liao was anxious at that time, and said: "Xu Zhonglang, do you know how important these bows and arrows are to me?"

"The last general has seen the Karasuma alien race in Bingzhou. They don't pay attention to charging and rushing. Instead, they harass the enemy army first by riding and shooting. They follow the enemy army like maggots on the tarsus bone. Relying on their negligent and flexible tactics, they fight all the way. Little by little the enemy army was wiped out..."

"After thinking about it, if you want to deal with that kind of enemy army, your subordinates should also prepare their own people who are skilled in bows and horses."

"However, the general has only half of the troops under his command, and has not yet deployed archers, let alone cavalry and archers who are skilled in bows and horses. If there is no such batch of bows and arrows, how can we train a strong army?"

When these words fell, Xu Rong's expression also moved awe-inspiringly, and he nodded in agreement: "I don't think you, Sima, have such talents and insights. I have thought about what I said, and it coincides with you. "

"Thank you Xu Zhonglang for your success!" Zhang Liao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, Xu Rong immediately turned his head and said ruthlessly: "Because archers are extremely important, I want to train them more, and there is a shortage of bows and crossbows in the market... Otherwise, how can I be ashamed to fight with you?" Scramble?"

Zhang Liao wanted to explode instantly, and said angrily, "Xu Zhonglang, are you going to fight the last general?"

"Heh, what is your name?"

"Three catties and two taels!" Zhang Liao gritted his teeth and looked at the shopkeeper, quoting the price from his mouth.

"Three catties and three taels." Xu Rongyun calmly and mercilessly killed again.

"Three catties and four taels!"

"Three catties and five taels..."

Hearing the two driving up the prices, the store owner's mood at this time...is simply beautiful: in most of his life, he has only seen these soldiers bullying and robbing his goods, but he has never seen such a scene.

But many years of bad encounters reminded him to accept good offers, and boldly said: "Second, the two generals must not do this. Although in business, the highest price wins, but it also pays attention to first come first served."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Liao and said, "This General Zhang came first and has already paid for the gold cake. If General Xu doesn't blame him, the villain still wants to pay the previous price..."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Liao couldn't help being moved, he quickly cupped his fists and saluted, "Shopkeeper Gao Yi, thank you Liao."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Rong, for fear that the other party would become angry from embarrassment.

Who is Xu Rong? After a moment of silence, he also saluted: "The shop is operating with such integrity, and the business is bound to prosper. If there are good bows and arrows, I will not be too late to come again."

After speaking, he strode out of the shop, and ordered Ru Yuxia to his subordinates: "Go to other shops quickly to have a look, if you have a bow and crossbow weapon, you can buy it on the spot, buy it first and play later."

"Also, war horses need to be bought a lot!"

"Leather armor is also indispensable!"

"Pay attention to spread out, don't disturb the common people and merchants, and lose face of our camp!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liao, who was happily preparing to carry the bows and arrows, became nervous all of a sudden, and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, can I carry it later?"

How could the shopkeeper fail to see what was going on, and immediately nodded and said: "General Zhang, go quickly, I won't sell this batch of bows and arrows whoever comes!"

"Thank you." After speaking, Zhang Liao looked at his stunned subordinates and said, "What are you still doing standing there? Quickly follow Xu Zhonglang's method and go to other shops to buy military supplies!"

"It seems that we and Xu Zhonglang are the first batch to receive the reward."

"The Taiwei is so kind and gave me the opportunity to wait. If I don't hurry up and prepare the military supplies before the other battalion soldiers arrive, wouldn't it be a waste of the Taiwei's painstaking efforts?"

Merchants are the most business-minded group of people. Hearing Zhang Liao's words, other shopkeepers came to solicit customers immediately: "This general, you can't just have military supplies."

"This exercise requires strong muscles and bones. Look at the carp at my stall. The meat is fresh and tender. It was just salvaged from the Yellow River in the morning, and it is specially waiting to nourish the soldiers."

Zhang Liao looked at the carp in the big wooden basin, and couldn't help thinking: Are these carp... so cheap?

But the owner seems to be right, let Erlang try fresh fish is also very good.

"I want this pot!"

"Okay!"

"General, it's not enough for a soldier to have strong muscles and bones. Daily drills will inevitably lead to bumps and bumps. How can we do it without preparing some medicinal materials in advance?"

"Well, that makes sense."

"General, it's winter now, so why don't the soldiers wear thicker coats. Look at the furs I just brought in here. Make sure you're warm!"

"It makes sense, I bought it!"

"General, if you bought the fur, you can't miss this charcoal basin. Since you want a charcoal basin, you must also have charcoal..."

"It makes sense, buy it!" Zhang Liao, who had been haggling and haggling just now, was fooled by the shopkeepers, and felt that everything made sense.

Anyway, the reward given by the Taiwei this time is generous, and the things are also useful to the soldiers... Gradually, he got lost in the joy of consumption.

As for Xu Rong on the other side, he was not much better than him.

At this time, he was also surrounded by a group of shops, and half of the iron-blooded aura in the battalion was gone, so he could only raise his hands and say, "Come one by one, come one by one, you can't have wine, it will mess up the soldiers' minds... umm , the washbasin water bag is pretty good, I want as much as I have!"

"Tch, one of the future top five good generals of the Wei State, and another famous general who was misunderstood and buried by the Three Kingdoms, at first glance, they both look like two old hats who have been poor for a long time and then rich..." Old Dong in the carriage couldn't help whispering. He muttered to himself, with a contented smile on his face.

With such a beginning, the cancellation of the plundering of Luoyang by troops has been easily resolved.Of course, there are still some small precautions during the period.

"Wenyou..."

"Subordinates are here."

"Xu Rong will definitely tell Brother Min about what happened to Zhang Liao today. Go and tell Brother Min. Just give Wen Yuan a little warning. After all, he didn't mean anything."

"Here."

"Also, order the whole battalion to keep a low profile no matter if they come to Mashi, Jinjin or Nanshi, so as not to disturb the common people and merchants. If anyone doesn't follow orders, if they get a reward, they dare to snatch it..."

"how?"

"I chopped off his head in the street! Even his superiors and officials should be held accountable!" When he said this, Old Dong's murderous intent was uncontrollable: "I gave the sweet dates, and I have to wave the stick, otherwise I will still be punished." I thought the old man's knife was bad!"

"Here!" Li Ru heard the words, and his expression became much lowered.

"In addition, you need to worry about keeping the aftermath secret."

"Your subordinates have made arrangements, please rest assured, Taiwei."

"Hmm..." Hearing this, Old Dong narrowed his eyes comfortably, and told the groom contentedly, "I've had enough shopping, it's time to go back..."

The boss's arrogance is beyond doubt.

But just when he was about to maintain this demeanor, he heard the conversation between the two outside the carriage.

"The Taiwei really keeps his word. The reward came in just three days, and it's so rich!" Zhang Liao's corporal leader was holding a bundle of bows and arrows, chatting with the soldiers.

"That's not right, and rewarding gold and silver, we can buy what we lack, which is much better than looting from the people. With the benevolence of the Taiwei, I decided to sell this life to him in the future!"

"That's right, the last time I saw the Taiwei in the barracks, I felt that he was different from those Gaoliang generals who came from a scholar's family. He really understood our thoughts and stood on the side of the poor people."

But at this point, the corporal leader thought of another question, frowned and said: "I just don't know, last time the Taiwei seemed to be worried about rewarding us, why did he give so much gold and silver today?"

"Yeah, where did the gold and silver come from?"

Hearing this, Dong Zhuo rolled his eyes and couldn't help being playful. He suddenly lifted the curtain and said, "I want to know, can the old man tell you?"

"Taiwei!..." Seeing Old Dong again, the two were both surprised and happy, and they were about to salute in the street.

Dong Zhuo made a silence gesture, indicating that he didn't want to make a high profile, and then waved his hand again, indicating that the corporal leader should come over.

Wu Zhang walked over in a daze, and heard Dong Zhuo say mysteriously: "The sudden extra gold and silver matter, I can only say that I understand everything I understand, and I don't explain much if I don't understand. After all, it's good for you to know, you Savor it carefully."

"Don't ask me what's going on in detail. The interests are too involved. It's not good for you or me if you say it. Just pretend you don't know. The rest of the old man can only say that the water here is very deep, and you can't grasp it."

"Everyone who understands has basically made a profit and landed ashore, and made a fortune in silence. Those who don't understand will never understand. The key is to understand by yourself... You don't know who understands, and you can't ask for advice. Everyone You hide it for fear of being known that you are sensible, and if you understand, you can reap what you don’t understand, and you don’t even know that you don’t understand.”

"It's just that sometimes, some people pretend to understand when they don't know something, thinking that others don't understand, but in fact they are the ones who don't understand the most. Therefore, those who don't understand will never understand, and they can only pretend to understand. In the future, others Talking about this topic again, you just need to nod your head and say you don’t understand, understand?”

The carriage gradually drifted away, leaving behind a corporal leader who was messed up in the wind, his mind was a little confused: "I, I... Do I understand this, or do I not understand?"
