Chapter 212 Trading
The conscription work went very smoothly, and Li Xiuning and Li Shentong expanded the team to more than 3 people at once.Although the composition of the team is complicated, many of the guys who come here are robbers who block the way, and there are not a few petty thieves.But after all, the shelf was still set up.

There is still a standard for the imperial court to recruit soldiers.At the beginning, the government soldiers were recruited, and later the government soldiers were almost recruited, so they recruited those with strong martial arts skills and strong bodies.And Li Xiuning's standard for conscription is that there is no standard.This form of conscription developed in a snowball manner.Li Shentong and Li Xiuning are always worried about not having enough people, and they don't worry about too many people at all.As long as you come to join us, you can successfully join if you are in good health and have five obvious disabilities.

The only problem brought about by the rapid expansion of the team is that the treasury of Hu County can no longer bear so many people.If more than 1 people eat the food in the treasury, they can still eat it until the beginning of spring.But now there are more than 3 people, and my dear friends who come to have a meal are still pouring in from all directions.

The problem of eating is a big problem, so Li Xiuning discussed it with Yunhao and Li Shentong.Now it is not only necessary to expand enrollment, but also to expand the territory.Li Shentong is worthy of a generation of famous generals, and soon led this group of guys with uneven weapons.Conquered one after another, Huxian, Zhouzhi, Wugong, Shi Shi are equal.The area of ​​the base has expanded several times in a short period of time.For a while, the name of the third son Li was the same.Become the most dazzling rebel leader in Guanzhong, bar none.

The revolutionary situation is very good, and the team is showing a thriving trend.With land, there will naturally be money and food.Since the establishment of the base, more brothers who came to earn a living joined the team.

"Yesterday, the Xiang Shanzhi Department was sent to capture martial arts, and the treasury seized a lot. Even if the lord doesn't enter Guanzhong, we can persist until next summer. Maybe, before they enter Guanzhong, we will take down Guanzhong .” Successive victories made Li Shentong very happy.

The capture of these counties is not so much a capture as a reception.Those county lieutenants and county magistrates are very knowledgeable about current affairs. As long as the army takes a position outside the city, someone will immediately come to labor with sheep, chickens, ducks and geese.As for the county seat, just give it to you.The big deal is that I don't want to be an official. For the sake of cooperation, I just want to save my life.

Of course, some brothers who are actively demanding progress still want to stay and become officials.In their view, as long as they can continue to be rich, there is no difference between being an official of the Yang family and being an official of the Li family.

"Is things going too smoothly? I always feel that Qu Tutong should not be so easy to bully." Facing the great revolutionary situation, Yun Hao was very puzzled.Qu Tutong was also considered a famous general of the Sui Dynasty, and he still had tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands.Just huddled in Chang'an City like this, no matter how you look at it, something is wrong.But Li Shentong's victory was real, and Yun Hao really didn't understand what kind of tricks Qu Tutong was playing.

Of course, Qu Tutong will not be idle, he is busy with a big event.

Sang Xian was sitting in the carriage, wobbling and dozing off.As a cavalry general, he hated this slow carriage.What he prefers is a war horse that gallops freely. If he was allowed to ride a war horse, he might have finished his work and had a good drink by now.

"General, Hu Zhuang is here." The pro-army driving the car was wearing plain clothes, his face was smeared with something, and it became dark and dark. He looked no different from an old farmer who had been farming all year round.

Sang Xian lifted the curtain of the car, and sure enough, he saw a large area of ​​Zhuangzi on the opposite side.In front of the village, there were actually more than a dozen Hu people standing guard with spears.

"General Sang, we are a same-sex family. I would like to advise you on some matters. This beard is not as good as you were with those nobles in Chang'an City. You are a person who is used to the last sentence. What is offensive? Please bear with me. Otherwise, this business will not be possible." Sitting in the car was a fat middle-aged man, also surnamed Sang.The shopkeeper of Hengfeng in Chang'an City has business dealings with Pan Renduo on weekdays.

This time he was going to come to Huzhuang to do business, so Sang Xian specially invited this family member to help.After all, he is an army, and he prefers to speak with a knife instead of copper coins.

"It's okay, as long as you finish this matter. I will give you credit for the general. The military supplies of our army will be settled at your house from now on."

"Well, thank you General Sang in advance!" Shopkeeper Sang laughed so hard that he could not see his teeth, and the army was funded by himself, which was like money falling from the sky.Hengfeng will surely have a good year this year.

"Who? Stop!" Seeing Sang Xian's carriage driving straight towards Zhuangzi, Zhuang Ding immediately stepped forward to stop him.He looks like a beard, but he speaks Guanzhong dialect very authentically.

"I'm the shopkeeper Sang in Chang'an City. Hurry up and ask your owner to come out and speak. The big business is coming." The guard sitting on the shaft of the car shouted loudly, and handed the bearded man a bag of copper coins.

This bag of copper coins is at least one or two hundred Wen.The beard on duty immediately lit up his eyes, and today he really saw the bold and unrestrained master.Without saying a word, he tucked the money bag into his bosom, and the man rushed into Zhuangzi.

"Shopkeeper Sang?" Pan Ren thought about it carefully, but there are several good shopkeepers in Chang'an City whose surname is Sang.But I don't know which shopkeeper Sang it is.There are often business contacts on weekdays, but these days, because of the rebellion of Mr. Li San, the business routes have also been cut off.Serious business, that is, I haven't done it for many days.

Not to neglect the old customers, Pan Ren came outside the Zhuangzi himself.Sure enough, I saw the fat shopkeeper Sang get off the car.I know you, Shopkeeper Sang of Hengfeng.It's just that this guy usually deals in things like rice noodles and oil, and he doesn't seem to have much business dealings with him.

Glancing beside him, Pan Ren felt his heart tremble.Standing next to him was a tall middle-aged man, not very strong, but standing like a javelin.Just standing there, an awe-inspiring murderous aura emanated from his whole body.This guy killed less than a hundred people, and Pan Ren felt that his eyes could be picked out and used as a spoil.

"It turned out to be Shopkeeper Sang in person, and I was far away. This is...!" Pan Ren cupped his hands to Shopkeeper Sang from a distance, but he took a step back without leaving a trace.Ever since he was fooled by Yun Hao and killed thousands of Sui troops.Pan Ren became more and more vigilant. He knew that the Sui people had suffered such a big loss, and they would definitely not let it go with him.I hate that Yunhao actually played tricks on him.If it wasn't for the fear of Li Yuan's success in rebellion, he would have brought someone to tear Yun Hao into pieces.

He wanted to secretly send someone to blackmail this kid, but he didn't expect Yunhao to stay in the county government these days.The door does not leave the second door without stepping, like a lady of every family.If you want to do it, you can't do it.This made Pan Ren grit his teeth with hatred, but there was nothing he could do.

"This man's surname is Sang, and he's from my family. I'm here today, and I want to discuss a deal with shopkeeper Pan. What's the matter, shopkeeper Pan should behave? Let's talk here?" Shopkeeper Sang said to Pan Ren with a smile.

"Where, where, why do you let the distinguished guests blow the wind outside. Please come in, the grapes in the village are still good, and the two shopkeepers, Sang, can taste it." Pan Ren made a tidying up, and retreated among the strong men.

Sang Xian smiled, Pan Ren was really careful.If I really came to assassinate today, I really have no chance at all.

After entering Huzhuang, Sang Xian looked around stealthily.Sure enough, I saw a lot of war horses in Hu Zhuang, and occasionally saw one or two Hu knights, all of them looked very sturdy and capable.No wonder Jingrui Xiaoguo suffered such a big loss, except that he had no intention of doing mental calculations.The combat power of these barbarians is indeed impressive.

Entering the hall where Yun Hao was received, the host and guest were seated.Pan Ren smiled and asked, "I don't know what kind of business shopkeeper Sang wants to do this time? The current situation is chaotic recently, and this business is not easy to do!" Pan Ren was very wary of that shopkeeper Sang's friend. Before Niang was served, he smiled and asked the shopkeeper Sang.

"Shopkeeper Pan, I heard that you recently took refuge in Mr. Li San. Gathered your clansmen and raided the Chang'an garrison, didn't you?" Shopkeeper Sang saw that Pan Ren asked straightforwardly, and didn't beat around the bush right now.

"What? Are you here to seek justice?" Pan Ren's expression darkened, his hands were already on the handle of the knife under the table.As long as the opponent makes a slight move, he will draw his knife and split the opponent in half.

"It doesn't mean that. I'm here to talk to you on behalf of the imperial court. As long as shopkeeper Pan turns his back on the dark side, General Qu will let the past go. And...and you are allowed to have stalls in the eastern and western cities. Of course, there is only one condition. That is Help the imperial court and eliminate the Third Young Master Li who is entrenched in Hu County." Seeing that both sides were straight to the point, shopkeeper Sang simply shook his head.

"Have stalls in the eastern and western cities?" Pan Ren narrowed his eyes.Because Hu people can't have stalls in the east and west cities, so there is this Huzhuang.The Hu people also had to endure the exploitation of the big families in Chang'an City.Only Pan Ren knew how attractive this article was to the barbarians.

"That's right, General Qu said it himself. Of course, you still need to buy from those merchants at these stalls." Shopkeeper Sang saw that Pan Ren's face changed again and again, obviously he was already moved by this condition. .

Sang Xian's throat moved, but he still held back his words.Qu Tutong had warned that shopkeeper Sang should do everything today.And he, Sang Xian, only has ears but no mouth.

"How do you want us to help you?" As a lesson learned from the past, Pan Ren felt that it would be better to ask first.These Han people, if they can't deceive others, they are good at it.Yun Hao left too much psychological shadow on him. Now that Pan Ren sees a Han person, he thinks the person is a film.

"It's very simple, just stand still and don't help each other."

"It's really okay if the two don't help each other?" Pan Ren was really tempted this time, and he didn't have to fight to kill him.He could also get the right to operate stalls in the eastern and western cities. As for the purchase and exchange of stalls, Pan Ren never cared about them.As long as money can solve things, they are small things.

"Yes, General Qu only needs a promise from shopkeeper Pan, as long as you promise not to help each other. Tomorrow you can send people into the city to buy and exchange stalls in the two markets. The premise is that you are not allowed to buy or sell by force."

"Hahaha, that's natural. We Huzhuang people are not troubled by financial matters. Shopkeeper Sang is a cheerful person. Let's drink. This is grape wine from the Western Regions. You two have a taste." Pan Ren smiled. With a wave of her hand, the alluring orchid immediately offered bloody grape wine.

"Okay, have a good time. To celebrate the success of our negotiation, shopkeeper Pan, drink Sheng!"

Sang Xian didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and returned to Chang'an City the next day.Then I saw You Beard entering the city, and then the land prices in the east and west cities rose sharply.

Li Jing, who came back from Xiliu Camp specially, laughed and said, "These beards are really anxious."

"Hmph! They opened the shop today, and I can close those shops tomorrow when things are done. If you dare to fight against our Tai Sui, you still have thousands of lives in your hands. These beards think it's over like this? What the hell is it? Accept the money but not the fate." Qu Tutong said fiercely.He was extremely saddened by the death of those elite heroes, who were the main force defending Chang'an City.But he was attacked and killed outside Chang'an City!
"Where the shop is placed, whether to open or close is of course the general's decision. However, everything can only be decided after the third son Li is eliminated. Now the situation is unavoidable, so please be patient with the general." Li Jing quickly persuaded Qu. Suddenly, if this old guy had a mental outburst and slaughtered all the beards entering the city, he would be in big trouble.

"Which is more important, I still know. Since I have done what I promised, it's up to you. There are still ten days left, and you know that Li Yuan is actively preparing to go south. If you can't stop him in Huoyi He, then next time we can only stick to Chang'an.

I also know that you have just taken over the Xiliu Camp and it will take time to clean up.No way, the old man doesn't have much time.And in the past few days, the third son Li has successively conquered the four counties of Huxian, Zhouzhi, Wugong, and Shiping.The population of the land under control has doubled, and it is said that tens of thousands of troops have been recruited.Give them some more time, and it will be even more difficult to deal with. "

"General, don't worry, we don't have a good chance of attacking them in Hu County. Now that they have come out, it is our chance. To occupy four counties, that is to say, they have to divide their troops. Even if there are tens of thousands of people, we have one county and one county. After the fight, the number of people is roughly the same.

Besides, the hastily assembled army.When will it be able to be compared with the big Sui lions like tigers and wolves?The general doesn't need to be busy, as long as his beard doesn't move.Tomorrow I will send troops to deal with the martial arts rebels. Li Jing stood up and said very confidently.

He has taken control of Xiliu Camp for the past few days, in fact, the soldiers in Xiliu Camp are quite capable.Basically, there are no old, weak and disabled soldiers!Moreover, the armament and armor are also in order, so although Liu Gang was deceived by the trick of suspicious soldiers.But obviously, he is also a qualified leader on weekdays.Li Jing felt that there was no reason why he would lose if such an army was used to fight against the rebels whose armor and weapons were not uniform.

"Since General Li is so confident, I wish you all the best in defeating the enemy."
