Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 108 Pretending to be forceful, I have to finish the act with tears in my eyes

During the autumn and winter of the 20th year of Jian'an, the dry season is coming.

In this special season, Jiangling City seems to be surrounded by a haze of fog.

The "magical" ordnance that appeared suddenly covered the sky of Jingzhou with a layer of dark clouds, the situation was changing, and the dark tide was surging.

On the contrary, this morning, in the mist of the morning light, inside the mansion of the thief Cao Yu... the shouts of the master here, the fourth son Guan Lin, have spread.

——"Two hundred vans, one thousand crossbows, one hundred wooden oxen and horses."

——"The price that Cao Yu can give is 15 hu grains."

——"Is this price enough to be sincere?"

Guan Lin unscrupulously reported his price in front of Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi, and he didn't seem to hide it at all, let alone being overheard by others.

This is his character...

——No taboo

In this regard, the government servants and civil servants here have long been familiar with it.

But the eyes of the forces outside the door couldn't help but feel their hearts sink when they heard this quotation.

——15 Dendrobium, what a high price!

No wonder those eyes were surprised.

According to the records of "Taibai Yin Jing", an army of 1 people will consume 500 dendrobium (dendrobium), various non-staple foods within 14 dendrobium (dendrobium), and 250 dendrobium salt in a year. [-] stone (dhu)…

Convert it down.

Calculated according to this standard, if the consumption of horses is not taken into account, in terms of people alone, 15 hu of grain is enough to cover an army of 1 people for ten months!
If you save a little, you won't be able to cover your expenses for a year!

And Guan Lin's quotation is equivalent to using this expense to only buy... 2000 people's ordnance.

certainly…

Considering that yesterday's partial vans, Liannu, wooden cows and horses were magnificent under the Desheng Bridge.

Considering the oath made by the fourth son Guan Lin yesterday, although the 15 hu of grain is a bit of a premium, it is not surprising.

It was Mi Fang, who was sitting in the prefect's mansion, and immediately sent back the news from here, and when he heard the offer of 15 hu, everyone was stunned.

He is a man of money...

Although the money in the Jiangling City treasury may not be as dear as his Mi family's private wealth, but... 15 hu of grain is too high.

On Mi Fang's round cheeks, the fat was trembling. While complaining about the high price, he murmured to himself: "Guan Lin? Isn't it just my Mi family's 15 hu of grain? ...When did he have [-] Dendrobium? Where did the extra [-] Dendrobium come from?"

Could it be…

He... is he doing other business? "

Once this idea appeared, it was hard for Mi Fang not to think about this place.

In addition, although he didn't have much contact with Guan Lin, this kid always gave him an unfathomable feeling that "the sea is immeasurable".

He can change from nine thousand to one hundred thousand, and then fifty thousand to 15, isn't it easy to catch?

The more I think about it...

The more Mi Fang calculated in her mind.

——"Compared with this kid... how do you feel that you don't make any money selling arms?What the hell, put your head on your waist, and worry about it every day? 』

People are more afraid than...

Compared with Guan Lin, Mi Fang felt... What the hell kind of life is he living?

Suddenly I feel that reselling arms is not good!
——"Tomorrow, I have to ask this kid how he makes money. If possible, let him take us! 』

On this side, Mi Fang was already dreaming.

Over there...

The offer from the thief Cao's mansion is still going on.

Seeing that Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi were silent, Guan Lin opened his mouth and said, "Tell me, how long will it take to deliver the goods?"

"The fourth son is indeed full of sincerity. Of course... this batch of ordnance... is ready-made... can be delivered at any time, and we have already shipped it to Jingzhou in advance."

While Shi Huolong replied, his eyes kept blinking, as if avoiding Guan Lin's gaze, "It's just... can the fourth son give us some time to think about it, and allow us to report to the master!"

It is said to report to the master, but in fact... it is asking for a price comparison.

Guan Lin sees it through but does not say it through, "Success, three days is three days, since you have been transported to Jingzhou in advance, it is not a delay. After thinking about it, you can trade at any time...Of course, this is already the greatest sincerity I can show !"

Guan Lin maintained his high-pitched loud voice as always.

this time...

Not only Guan Lin, but all the eyes outside the door knew that this batch of goods was already in Jingzhou.

Of course, this is also reasonable.

The arms business...often looking for the right customers.

This kind of transaction changes when it is late, so... often before the price is negotiated, some arms dealers will quietly transport the arms to nearby places, and hide them in deep mountains and caves.

Once the transaction is confirmed, the money and the goods are cleared... nothing to do with it.

If the negotiation breaks down, they will be quietly sent away in small batches. This is the safest way, and it is also a customary rule in black market transactions.

Naturally, it did not attract much attention.

"Thank you, Fourth Young Master..." Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi Chao Guan Lin held hands.

Guan Lin patted the shoulders of the two meaningfully, and said with a smile: "You two, you can take care of yourself, 15 hu, after passing this village, there will be no more shops like this!"

Shi Huolong and You Tanzhi looked at each other...

They were thinking about...

In terms of acting skills, he has to be the Fourth Master Guan!
true…

It's true!
...

...

A gangster's white-soled, embroidered clean boots lightly stepped on the fallen leaves.

Lu Xun walked into the courtyard with a heavy heart, and looked at the gate with longing eyes... His heart was full of twists and turns, and he was very sad.

Life is like this, pretending to be forced, even with tears in your eyes.

At this moment, Lu Xun deeply understood...

Why don't you pretend to be coercive, and you were struck by lightning.

Just now, when he heard Guan Lin's offer of 15 hu of grain, he was in a bad mood.

What... what's the situation?
How can you report 15 Dendrobium?
This Guan Lin, does he understand the price of ordnance?

You know, a horse nowadays costs around 20 to [-] renminbi. According to the price of [-] hu equals [-] renminbi, this quotation can buy thousands of inferior horses.

Raising a low-end cavalry team hastily is enough.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is, Lu Xun asked Sun Ru to offer You Tanzhi "twice"...

No matter how much Guan Lin pays, he pays twice...

The double of 15 Dendrobium...isn't it 30 Dendrobium?

This is too big!

Lu Xun had sent his wife, Sun Ru, to meet You Tanzhi immediately, even though he knew that 15 was a premium, but the Lu family's army... But he, Lu Xun, needed these weapons too much.

This is an opportunity for him to climb up step by step!

——25 hu grains.

This is Lu Xun's bottom line...

Sun Ru has already gone to talk... Now that half an hour has passed, the waiting people are getting more and more anxious. Lu Xun is looking at the gate outside the courtyard eagerly, his eyes full of anticipation.

finally…

Sun Ru is back.

She brought good news, she used 20 hu grains to win...

"Five days later, the money and goods will be delivered together, and the place will be in a mountain where the borders of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou... meet."

Lu Xun was delighted by Sun Ru's words.

He picked up Sun Ru in his arms, and even turned around in a circle.

——"If you have a woman like this, why worry about my Lu family being unhappy, why worry about Jiangdong's great cause?"

Sun Ru is much calmer than Lu Xun. "Husband, don't be too busy to be happy, or you should think about how to get so much food here?"

this…

Lu Xun's eyes were deep, he pondered for a moment, and then said with emotion: "If... if it is food, there is no way to help it, but if it is gold, the Lu family still has a way to transport it."

Yes…

As one of the four major families in Wu County, the Lu family not only owns soldiers, horses and officials.

You know, his family's business is spread all over Soochow.

How could the Lu family have not set foot in Jiaozhou's business after the former scholar became attached to him three years ago?

The junction of Jiaozhou and Jingzhou is Jiaozhi. As the administrative seat of Jiaozhou, it is not difficult to allocate a large amount of gold and silver from here, but it takes time.

"Five days...five days?"

Lu Xun muttered...

Sun Ru also pursed her lips. It seemed that she also realized... even if it wasn't food, it was not easy to gather so much gold and silver equivalent in such a short time!
"Although I'm a little nervous about time, Ma'am, I promise them that I'm here... no problem!"

Finally, after repeated calculations, Lu Xun said with great certainty.

Sun Ru looked into Lu Xun's eyes...

This was the first time she saw the light in her husband's eyes!
——"Bo Yan is really eager to see through these ordnance! 』

...

...

Jingzhou, Xiangyang City.

Finally, Cao Ren waited eagerly for support from Xiangfan.

This is the "instant force" sent by the elder brother Cao Cao, that is, the five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Ren's younger brother Cao Chun!

At the gate of the city, soldiers from Xiangfan played music and lined up to welcome them, and the people surrounded them.

No wonder Cao Chun and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry received such courteous treatment.

The record of this legendary legion is too tough.

——War Wuhuan, capture the leader;

——Behead Yuan Tan and defeat Zhang Fei;

——For Xiliang, Po Machao...

——When Liu Bei crossed the river with his people, he defeated his [-] soldiers and civilians and severely injured his vitality.

He even kidnapped Liu Bei's two daughters!

The so-called, "Cao Chun conquered Jingzhou, chased Liu Bei in Changban, captured his second daughter's luggage, and took his scattered soldiers."

There are also records in Unofficial History that Cao Chun not only kidnapped his two daughters, but even... married these two daughters.

What do you say...Cao Chun is a handsome guy, and Liu Bei's two daughters fell in love with Cao Chun after they were arrested, and they were both married by Cao Chun.

It's bloody!

There are also unofficial records that this is a kind of revenge, because Zhang Fei robbed Xia Houyuan's niece and married him as his wife, so Cao Chun married Liu Bei's two daughters.

This is a cycle of karma, and retribution is unpleasant.

Of course, these bloody plots are all made up by novelists of all dynasties and generations.

Even more exaggerated, it is said that Cao Chun's death was because of Liu Bei's two daughters, and that Liu Bei's two daughters falsely married Cao Chun, and then through a series of operations, Cao Chun was killed.

So the question is coming?

How to operate?
How to kill?
—Is it squeezed dry?
Of course, these are all fabricated!
Writing novels is not about studying history, but about having fun.

There is really no need to be so serious about many things.

anyway…

In Cao Wei, such a 5000-man tiger and leopard cavalry regiment led by Cao Chun was once dubbed the legend of "invincible and invincible" because of its sturdy record!

It is not an exaggeration to say that this tiger and leopard rider... is Cao Cao's Dinghaishenzhen!

Now, the army has entered the city, Cao Chungao sat on the horse, and among the officials in front of him, he saw his elder brother Cao Ren.

Cao Ren smiled and said, "Zihe is here?"

However, Cao Chun did not turn over, but maintained a domineering arrogance, and his tone was not modest.

"Brother, guarding Xiangfan these years has been hard work, but why did Zhou Yu and Guan Yu force them to retreat steadily and lose Nanjun!"

"The prime minister always said that my brother is good at attacking, and he is a first-class attacking expert among the children of my Cao Wei clan. But after several years, my brother has lost this ability of attacking fortifications, right? He has learned the ability to shrink back, hehe, stick to Xiangfan , let Guan Yunchang make trouble?"

This…

What Cao Chun said was very rude.

Of course, he was always rude to Cao Ren.

If you want to elaborate on this matter, it will be a long story.

Although Cao Chun and Cao Ren are half-brothers, but... just like in every big family, the relationship between the eldest son and the youngest son is so subtle that "I can't wait to kill each other"...

The relationship between Cao Chun and Cao Ren is not so harmonious.

Going forward, in the generation of Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, the Cao family produced three great figures.

In addition to Cao Song being Da Honghe, Da Si Nong, and Taiwei, Cao Chi was serving as a servant, and Cao Ding was being Wujun Taishou and Shang Shuling...

Among them, the father of Cao Ren and Cao Chun is Cao Chi.

But in Cao Chi's lineage, Cao Ren is the eldest son of the concubine, and Cao Chun is the eldest son...

According to the rules, the one who inherits the family is Cao Chun. The so-called - "Pure inherits his father's business, he is rich in wealth, and there are hundreds of children and servants."

But Cao Ren was worse.

——"You are good at hunting with bows, horses and bows. Later heroes rise together, benevolence and yin are young, and more than a thousand people are won, and they circle between Huai and Si."

That is to say, as a concubine, Cao Ren has nothing, and is not well received in the family. Taking advantage of the fact that all the heroes are rising together, he brought a group of people and went out to wander around...

Not to mention, he really made a breakthrough, and his personal bravery and strategy have made great progress.

He became the number one offensive general in the Cao Wei clan.

But the individual belongs to the individual, and the ancient battlefield paid attention to the combat of the Corps.

Compared with Cao Ren's bravery and strategy, Cao Chun's "family property" is more important to Cao Cao in the early days!
When Cao Chun took refuge in Cao Cao, he belonged to "bring capital into the group", so Cao Cao assigned the most elite soldiers to him.

Cao Chun was not short of money, so... these soldiers were equipped with the best weapons, armor, and horses.

This is the embryonic form of tiger and leopard cavalry.

Among them, the tiger cavalry is a "heavy armored cavalry", and the equipment on the whole body is full of money.

Leopard riders are "light armored cavalry", similar to Gongsun Zan's white horse righteousness, mainly riding and shooting...

Although leopard cavalry is not as expensive as tiger cavalry, compared to other cavalry, it is still not a price that can be measured.

In the final analysis, Cao Chun, who is the legitimate son and the orthodox descendant of Cao Chi, is naturally "arrogant" in his bones when facing Cao Ren, the son of the concubine.

Talking to him, I will not be so polite.

"Zihe, don't underestimate the enemy!" Cao Ren was not angry.

As if, he was aware of this younger brother's temper, and he was used to it.

He immediately persuaded: "This Guan Yu, even the eldest brother, once praised Xun Lingjun, saying that he is 'the person that the eldest brother loves, and he is better than Feng'... At first, my brother was fine, but in the past few years he has been against him. , as a brother, I feel the heavy pressure everywhere! It is already good to be able to hold on to it, how dare you speak lightly to attack it?"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

As soon as Cao Ren's words slipped out of his mouth, Cao Chun laughed heartily, "Unexpectedly, these years have calmed down my brother's temperament a lot, and also made me a lot more cowardly."

"But it doesn't matter, the dry season is approaching, and I, Cao Chun, brought tiger and leopard riders. What Cao Wei lost in Jingxiang, I will take back all of them. Brother, prepare food and grass, and wait and see!"

This…

Cao Ren's brow showed a trace of deep worry.

He doesn't know either...Should it be said that Cao Chun is a newborn calf not afraid of tigers?
Or... have you underestimated Guan Yunchang?
Cao Ren shook his head, and wanted to persuade...

But Cao Chun had already driven his horse away, and the army continued to enter the city.

At this moment, every tiger and leopard rider raised their heads.

The way they looked at the brave soldiers in this city was the same as the eyes of the superiors when they inspected the inferiors.

——Arrogance is incomparable!
But at this time, someone quickly walked up to Cao Ren's side and whispered in his ear, "Jiangling City's eyes sent back an urgent message... saying that Jingzhou wants to buy a military uniform, which is the nemesis of cavalry. It is urgent!"

Cao Ren was startled when he heard this.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at Cao Chun's back again...

Immediately...he quickly turned around, and under the guidance of the reporting soldier, he went to another place.
