The era of all the princes

Chapter 81 An unexpected crisis!
Qingyang City is undoubtedly the largest trading city in the West Sea. The imperial court banned the sea, so it is impossible to openly arrange a cargo port here. Many merchant ships dock at the port of a nearby town, and then transport the goods to Qingyang, which is very troublesome.

Jiang Sheng and others followed Han Wu all the way ashore from Dongzhi County, and planned to take South China Road to Qingyang. Originally, according to the previously planned route, they should go to Fuchuan. After all, it was Zhang Yuanshan's former base camp, and no one dared to stop there. Hit his attention.

However, it would take at least two days for Fuchuan to go to Qingyang by land, which is very inconvenient, and the anti-king Han Xiao has already stationed troops at Zijing Pass for the second time. Although he failed to fight last time, no one can say for sure this time Whether it can survive the second time there, in case of military chaos in the past, it will be troublesome.

Fortunately, now that I got to know Han Wu, I have a better way. It only takes half a day to travel from Dongshi County to Qingyang, and Han Wu warmly invited Jiang Sheng to be a guest, which also saved Jiang Sheng from many troubles.

For example, dealing with the injuries of his subordinates. In addition to the three who died in the battle, five people in the team were seriously injured and needed to be treated by a good doctor. Han Wu had a manor property in Toshiba County. After he landed, he arranged for a local doctor to come over. It saved Jiang Sheng a lot of things.

After a group of people went to the manor to rest, Jiang Sheng closed the door and adjusted his breath to recover, while Zhang Yuanshan was in charge of inquiring about news from Han Wu.

"Brother, how about the person you are looking for? Can you eat my furs?"

"Don't worry!" Han Wu replied with a smile: "The person I'm looking for is the shopkeeper of a large firm specializing in Mobei leather goods. The annual turnover of leather goods business can reach one million taels. What are your goods? , I will not let you suffer!"

"That's good, that's good!" Zhang Yuanshan rubbed his hands with a smile: "It's hard to earn some benefits for the brothers this time, so don't mess it up. By the way, Lao Han, see if you can contact me. Where can I buy good farm cattle?"

"What do you want that thing for?"

"Isn't it true that my son has bought some properties overseas?" Zhang Yuanshan said with a chuckle: "Our brothers also got a lot, and we need to farm cattle, but you also know that the cattle in Piluoqiu are very expensive. I just thought about coming here this time to make some…”

"The lord you follow is generous..." Han Wu smiled while drinking tea, "He even bought property for you..."

"That's it!" Zhang Yuanshan said triumphantly, "What is our son's identity?"

"Honestly speaking, what is your son's background?" Han Wu squinted his eyes and asked, "How can such an outstanding person come to do sailing business? Elders, don't worry?"

"Well...that's not what you should know..." Zhang Yuanshan said with a chuckle.

"Forget it!" Han Wu curled his lips, but he became more and more sure of Jiang Sheng's identity.

"By the way, Old Han, help me find a better tooth. I'll get some servants back. The people on the island country don't understand the language and love to steal and play tricks. Our farmers in the Central Plains are honest..."

"What kind of human teeth do you need?" Han Wu rolled his eyes: "Last time when Han Xiao called, a lot of refugees left their homes and poured into the border of Bingzhou under the chaos of the army. They caught a lot of them outside Qingyang City. Everyone is willing to go with you, why do you need money to buy it?"

"So serious?" A friendly voice came from outside the door, and Zhang Yuanshan quickly stood up: "My lord!"

Han Wu also stood up with a smile: "Master, are you awake? Are you resting well?"

"Thank you, Mr. Han, for your hospitality. I finally came back to my senses..." Jiang Sheng smiled and found a seat to sit down.

"The condition of the villa is limited. I have wronged you. When we arrive in Qingyang, I will treat you well. When the time comes, I will treat you to face!"

"Then you'll bother Mr. Han!" Jiang Sheng didn't even refuse, and agreed generously.

Han Wu nodded secretly when he heard the words, this young master of the Jiang family is dignified but behaves decently, coupled with the astonishing performance on the boat before, the Jiang family probably spent a lot of effort in cultivating this young man.

"By the way, Master Han, you said earlier that Han Xiao called? When did it happen?"

"It's time for spring last year..." Han Wu's face turned serious when he mentioned this: "This Han Xiao is getting better and better. Just after the autumn harvest, it's making a comeback again, and the situation is a bit unsightly..."

Most of the local rich families want to be safe, and they don’t really like those anti-kings. Although Luo Ji is domineering, he is an official ordered by the court, and he still respects the rules on the surface. Food and recruitment are not in accordance with your local rules.

Once the city is broken, there will inevitably be some collisions. Those rich families with deep background are not afraid, and they can break their wrists. I'm going to bleed...
"Is there no support from the imperial court?" Jiang Sheng asked curiously.

If possible, he doesn't want Xihai Bingzhou to be occupied by anti-king forces, the court is corrupt, and he has a laissez-faire attitude towards refugees.

I'm afraid those refugees will be forcibly recruited as cannon fodder, how can I snatch them?

"There is support!" Mentioning this, Han Wu's eyes lit up: "I just heard people say that three months ago, Tang Guogong's youngest son, Yu Wenhu, defeated Han Xiao on the Northwest Front and took back Luming Pass. Han Xiao’s momentum was severely frustrated, and he was forced to retreat in the northwest. This time the Bauhinia Pass was in an emergency, and the imperial court restarted Tang Guogong to lead the army. He led the [-] Heavenly Forest Army to support Bingzhou.

"Cough..." Jiang Sheng choked on a sip of tea when he heard the words.

"Is your son alright?" Han Wu and Zhang Yuanshan asked with concern.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Jiang Sheng waved his hands repeatedly.

"My lord, do you know Yuwen Hu?" Han Wu asked with a smile.

"Where am I lucky to know Tang Guogong's son?" Jiang Sheng curled his lips, thinking to himself: This Emperor Ou is also coming to Bingzhou?Hope it doesn't hit you...
"Haha, my lord is being humble..." Han Wu smiled, but he didn't feel that the other party was lying. Double pupils were feared by the royal family. The Jiang family naturally cultivated them secretly. It was normal for children who didn't know Tang Guogong to be sent overseas.

"I'm not humble..." Jiang Sheng curled his lips, then changed the subject and chatted with the other party about other daily routines, and the afternoon passed quickly.

The next day was also very smooth, Han Wu found a fur dealer and took all their hides. The other party was very satisfied with their animal skins, and the price was very generous, a full 10 taels of silver. It must be enough to buy cattle.

As for the price on the gemstones, Han Wu's asking price is also very kind. After all, he wants to make friends with Jiang Sheng, and he is not prepared to take advantage of him. He offered a high price of 20 taels for a whole box. , very casually agreed.

Everything went better than expected, and according to the plan, as long as another large cargo ship is purchased to lure thousands of refugees and enough cattle back, this time the task will be considered as a successful completion.

But Jiang Sheng never dreamed that he would be involved in a big incident. Before dawn the next day, there was a hasty knock on the door of his room.

Jiang Sheng woke up suddenly and opened the door, frowning and looking at Zhang Yuanshan with a serious face outside: "What's wrong?"

"My lord, something serious has happened!" Zhang Yuanshan hurriedly said, "Someone just came back with news that the Bauhinia Pass has been broken!"

Jiang Sheng's first thought was that it's none of my business?But in the next moment, he reacted immediately and cursed me secretly!
Bauhinia Pass is the gateway to the northwest. Once it is broken, the road from the pass to Qingyang can be described as flat. In ancient times, there was no remote communication. If the news of the broken city came, the rebel army might not be far from here! !

"My lord!" Han Wu also hurried over from a distance: "This place is no longer safe, let's hurry up and go to Qingyang first!"

"Okay!" Jiang Sheng also knew the seriousness of the situation. The other party broke through the Bauhinia Pass, so he must have rushed into Qingyang. He and others must rush to Qingyang before the anti-king army besieged the city. Things are going to happen, and with my little army, if I meet the anti-king army, I'm afraid there won't even be a single splash of water!
