I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 37 In a blink of an eye, Unrivaled Kung Fu came
In the autumn of the third year of Guanghe, after half a year of court game disputes and overall planning, the imperial court once again used Xia Yu and Zang Min, and at the same time worshiped Lu Zhi as the general of Beizhong, who was responsible for controlling Dong Zhuo, the governor of Bingzhou, Liu Yuzhong, the governor of Youzhou, and You Bing. All the eunuchs, dispatch the soldiers of the Hebei Military Region and gather the war horses in Youzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou, and Sili's horse gardens.

After the failure of going out of the fortress three years ago, the Han Dynasty once again launched a strong counterattack against Xianbei.

This time, Xia Yu, Tian Yan, and Zang Min were involved in more people than Xia Yu, Tian Yan, and Zang Min when they went out of the fort this time, and there were more criticisms from the court, covering a wider area.

The army went out of the fortress, and the whole You, Bing immediately fell into a state of anxiety.

After all, the big defeat three years ago is still fresh in the memory.

……

……

In the blink of an eye, another four months passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the fourth year of Guanghe, and there was still no news of the Youbing army going out to conquer the fortress.

In this way, those women and children who are waiting in Youzhou are suffering. Many of the men who go out of the fortress are the main labor force of the clan. Now the pillars of the family are going out to fight for the country. All family matters, big or small, undoubtedly fall on the women body.

Those fathers of the head of Guizhou and daughters of Li Shu could not help looking north at home every day, thinking about it, and even washing their faces with tears.

Among them, there is also Liu Jian's mother, Hu Shi.

Since Liu Jian set off on the expedition, the Hu family would go to the official road to the north of Zhuo County every two days, look north, think about it day and night, and look forward to his son's early return every day.

Now it is almost the end of the new year, snowflakes are flying, and the mountains, rivers and earth are all white.

Holding a bamboo basket in his hand and wrapped in a hood, Mrs. Hu stood by the side of the road and stared blankly.

Inside the bamboo basket was her son Liu Jian's favorite Hubing. When he came to wait for Liu Jian every day, he would prepare five Hubing in the basket. When his son came back from the war, he would feed the three cakes to the child. After eating, it is bitter and cold outside the Great Wall, and the child specified that it is not good to eat.

The other two mustaches are for Liu Bei.

Usually, making things difficult is making things difficult, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. But when Abei's child also went to the battlefield like Liu Jian, Hu couldn't help thinking about it.

But unfortunately, after waiting for several months, Hu did not wait for his son to come back.

When she stands by the official road every day, she can't help but think of the scene a few months ago.

That day, when Liu Jian and Liu Bei went home and told the news that they had been recruited by Youzhou locals and would go northward with the army, Hu and Liu Zhou almost fainted on the spot.

It was almost 17 years ago, and that was the first time that Mr. Hu scolded his son viciously. He scolded his son hoarsely and hysterically.

And Liu Zhou even took the rattan stick, and greeted the two children Liu Bei and Liu Jian one after another!
That night, Liu Zhou beat them with scars all over their bodies, and there was almost no place to see on their backs.

But no matter how much they beat and scolded, in the end, the two children went with the army.

It is said that for this expedition, the imperial court dispatched many people, among them the newly appointed Beizhong Lang will be their fellow countryman, that is, Lu Zhi, the child's teacher, and Gongsun Zan has also been recruited by the county.

On the day Liu Jian and Liu Bei set off for the expedition, neither Liu Zhou nor Hu Shi sent them off, so they let the children go by themselves.

However, when they left home, the two old people came out of the room at the same time, stood at the door and silently looked at the children's backs in a daze...

"Ah!"

Standing in the ice and snow, Mrs. Hu couldn't help but sneezed heavily, her body trembling unconsciously.

"Madam, the weather is too cold. It's already this hour. I'm afraid the two young masters will not come back today. You should go back and rest early."

The entourage behind Hu's body was also very cold, stamping their feet back and forth on the spot, and always reaching out to cover their ears.

Hu didn't move, but turned to him and asked, "Where has my father-in-law been these few days?"

The attendant was cold, breathing hot air into his mouth, and said: "My father-in-law went to the flag tower in the city for three consecutive days, waiting for news from the front line of the Han army."

"What news can there be from that place?" Hu said coldly.

"Madam doesn't know, the post envoy of the post house will bring back the new battle situation of this month from the front line every month. The head of the gentry in Zhuo County will gather in the pavilion to wait outside the Great Wall for three or two days every month. news."

"Why are all the gentry waiting there? Their sons have also gone to fight in the frontier?"

"That's not true, madam doesn't know, whether the front line wins or loses is related to Youzhou's poor food for the next year or even the next year, oral calculations, food prices, horse prices, or the transfer and appointment of officials at all levels , are closely related to the noble gentry, so they pay special attention to it..."

"All right, all right, let my father-in-law inquire about these things, I'm a woman and I don't want to get involved so much...I'm just waiting here for my son..."

Speaking of this, Hu's mouth fell away, and tears fell out of grievance.

Seeing this, the attendant sighed helplessly.

It seems that I can't go back home for a while, so I can only continue to freeze here.

…………

At the same time, there are more than [-] local tyrants on the Qilou where the city of Zhuo County is concentrated.

Compared with these people, Liu Zhou, who was hiding in the corner, was not at the same level at all. He just squatted in the corner and listened silently.

For him, nothing else is important, he just needs to know the situation of the battle on the front line, and know the life and death of his two scorpions.

Compared with Liu Zhou, the rest of the Haoyou patriarchs were obviously in a good mood. Everyone gathered together and chatted with each other about the most important issues in the counties of Youzhou at the moment.

Liu Zhou did not participate, and he is not qualified to participate. To put it bluntly, he is not qualified to sit here because of his status. He just walked through the back door of Haoyou's family, who is familiar with him, and followed other people's father-in-law to come here to join in the fun. .

"Uncle Wang Shi, you have to take care of Su Shuang's affairs anyway!"

A burly patriarch of the Haoyou family said to an elder: "That gangster united Zhang Shiping from Zhongshan, Feng Lan from Juyang, Tian Wu from the fox slave, and Ping Xi from the giant deer, riding a horse at a low price. At that time, all the horse breeds and private horse farms in Hebei were taken away. Now these few people have formed a force and monopolized most of the horse markets in You, Bing, Hebei and other places. It is difficult for others to get involved. If this continues , I am afraid that within a few years, the good horse channels in Hebei will be swallowed up by them!"

Next to him, another Haoyou Patriarch said: "That's right! What is Su Shuang? He's just a mere scumbag, and he dares to try to eat the entire Youbingma City? Uncle Shi, you really need to talk to him!"

Everyone present nodded their heads.

The old man surnamed Wang had a calm demeanor, and he didn't become angry because of these people's fanning the flames. On the contrary, he was surprisingly calm at the moment.

When I was young, I saw the old man surnamed Wang stand up slowly, glanced back and forth at all the people present, and said tremblingly: "Since everyone thinks that Su Shuang and others bought horse breeds and farms at a low price back then and suspected of monopolizing the horse market in Youzhou, Then why did you guys rush to sell it to him?"

After saying a word, all the grandparents present at the scene fell silent.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the old man continued: "I'm afraid that you all got rumors that there was a shortage of horses and horses in the northern expedition of the imperial court, and Taicang and the localities had no money to collect horses, so they had to forcefully confiscate horses by household. You were afraid of losing money, and you were anxious to deal with them." Su Shuang, together with Zhang Shiping and the others, took advantage of the extra scumbags, didn’t they?”

"Yes, yes, so what, this is also human nature! What's wrong?" a Haoyou family man shouted unconvinced.

"Since it is human nature, Su Shuang dares to bet on this game. If he loses, he will go bankrupt. If he wins, he will be among the first-class wealthy people in Youzhou, ranking above us. When he loses, you don't care. , now he won, but you let the old man interview him... Hehe, the old man can't open his mouth."

The head of the Haoyou family with a large figure said: "Uncle Wang, what you said is wrong. We are all of the same spirit. We have lived here for generations, and we are clearly separated from each other. We rarely cross the line. That Su Shuang is just one Why do you break the laws of Zhuo County? If you don’t pay attention, in this land from now on, any bull, dog, horse, and donkey will dare to step on our faces!"

Someone beside him fanned the flames: "That's right, Uncle Shi, you are the oldest person here. Doesn't your family have a share in the horse market business in Youzhou?"

The old man surnamed Wang sneered and pointed at them with trembling hands.

"You guys, something is going to happen here and you are making noise. What did you think? Although Su Shuang was born as a gangster, but the timing was good. After he took over the horse this time, he turned around and sold it to the imperial court. , not only sell it at [-]% of the purchase price, but also pay for the goods first, you know, the emperor made up his mind to go north to go to the expedition, but there was a problem with the back of the horse carrying it."

"Su Shuang had already planned. He would rather lose money by himself, and help the emperor plug up half of the gaps in Youzhou's shortage. Now this person's name has been transmitted to His Majesty's ears. Do you think that the old man can move now? him?"

Everyone heard the words and fell silent.

When I was young, I suddenly saw the fat big man who was not convinced and said: "Uncle Wang Shi, are you fooling us? How do you always know about Luoyang?"

Someone at the side pushed him and said in a low voice: "Uncle Wang's family is distantly related to the Taiyuan Wang family..."

Fat Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, then heaved a long sigh.

"However, Su Shuang donated horses at a discount to the imperial court's military use, and there is also our profit in this!" Someone still shouted unconvinced.

The old man surnamed Wang said calmly: "Then we can only blame ourselves for being timid and fearful, and let others take advantage of it, and as far as the old man knows, Su Shuang is very good now, except for the few people the old man just mentioned, Also, the Patriarchs of the Gongsun family in Liaoxi and Zhongshan Zhen joined the horse market circle he established. With these two families involved in it, it will be even more difficult for us to crack it..."

Some people wondered: "The Zhen family in Zhongshan has always been very profitable. It is not difficult to understand the smell of money and participate in it. It's just how did the Gongsun family in western Liaoning also participate? Who set up a bridge for Su? Shall we have a bite to eat?"

The old man surnamed Wang didn't speak, he just glanced at Liu Zhou in the corner not far away without leaving any trace, hummed softly, and then continued:
"On the Luoyang side, the emperor will set up Luji's stable this year to receive the fine horses conscripted by the county, while on the Youzhou side, Su Shuang has already been appointed by His Majesty. The beauty of Zhuojun's transfer of horses to Luoyang Poor, within ten years, I'm afraid it won't fall to the head of others."

When Haoyou who was present heard this, his guts couldn't help but feel regretful, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Why did this Su Shuang suddenly seem to be a different person, and everything can catch up with shit luck?
This Luji Stable Cheng is recruiting horses in the county. Anyone who is greedy for this good business can ask for a lot of money as long as they operate properly. There is nothing wrong with selling a good horse of 40 million yuan for 200 million yuan!
However, Su Shuang was appointed by the emperor to be in charge of this matter in Youzhou, even if the tyrants wanted to grab this spot, they couldn't grab it.

Now, Su Shuang has completely monopolized the horse market in Youzhou, and has become a rich man with background support!

Just when everyone was not convinced, there was a burst of footsteps under the stairs suddenly.

It turned out that the post envoy rushed here to report to the heroes about the battle situation on the front line this month.

Everyone turned their heads in unison, and they saw the postman coming upstairs.

The postman's complexion was red, and he was panting heavily, obviously tired from the day and night journey.

The old man surnamed Wang stood up, holding a lacquer bowl, and came to the post envoy: "Let's talk after drinking some water!"

"Many, many, thank you, my lord!"

The postman raised his head and drank the bowl of water in one gulp, then began to look around, as if he was looking for something.

Soon, he saw Liu Zhou's figure.

A look of joy instantly appeared on the post envoy's face!
Regardless of the other heroes present, he quickly ran to Liu Zhou, saluted him, and said loudly:

"Congratulations to Mr. Liu, congratulations to Mr. Liu! Great victory in Northern Xinjiang! Great victory in Northern Xinjiang!"

After everyone heard this, all of them showed joy on their faces. This battle can be regarded as a victory!

But at the same time, Zhu Haoyou also began to have doubts.

Great victory in northern Xinjiang, defeating Xianbei is a good thing, but why congratulate Liu Zhou alone?
Could it be that the mosquito clan will also have special treatment in this regard.

Liu Zhou was also very puzzled, and said curiously: "The great victory in northern Xinjiang is a good thing, but what does it have to do with me?"

"Why doesn't it matter? This great victory is all due to your young master! Your young master has achieved a world-class feat this time, and his reputation has spread far and wide. He has shocked the northern border. The head of the Great Khan also got the body of Tanshi Huai, and another 35 Xianbei nobles from Danhan Mountain were also captured alive for him. The name of Mr. Shaolang, even being named a Marquis is not enough to show his unrivaled achievements! This is a great achievement that is rarely heard in a hundred years!"

"what?!"

All the Haoyou family members on the flag tower let out exclamations of amazement.

Liu Zhou's mouth trembled too: "Quick, tell me what's going on!"
