Wei and Jin Cooks - Chapter 851

Liu He fled Pingyang in a hurry with the royal family and courtiers, and was chased all the way to Zhongyang County of Xihe Kingdom, where he assembled 50,000 troops, and he ordered the five tribes of the Huns to serve as kings.

Although the main elite followed Liu Cong to fight against Jin, the five ministries could still squeeze out a lot of troops, so some people obeyed the order to serve the king.

Adding the strength of some generals leading troops abroad, Liu He finally assembled an army of 150,000.

Of course, he still can’t compare with Liu Cong’s army. Liu Cong is the Marshal of South China. Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

Even if there is loss, at this time he still has 150,000 soldiers and horses to fight against Liu He.

One hundred and fifty thousand against one hundred and fifty thousand, Liu Cong has the elite, but Liu He has not many people who can fight.

But he has a good reputation, he is the prince of the Huns!

As soon as the news of Liu Yuan’s death in Pingyang City came, he immediately ascended the throne as the new emperor in Xihe Kingdom. After the news was announced to the world, both Liu Cong and Shi Le expressed their obedience.

All the way to escape, he was frightened by Zhao Hanzhang, so as soon as he settled down in Xihe Kingdom, he wanted to stay there, build a high wall, defend directly, and then ordered Liu Cong to bring the army back. They caught it, and it would not be a loss if they came back at this time, the most important thing is to take back their capital, Pingyang City.

So when Ming Yu and Wu Erlang arrived in Xihe State, Liu He had already settled down in Zhongyang County of Xihe State, and he directly encircled more than 20,000 people to build palaces.

That’s right, the first thing he did after he ascended the throne was not to centralize power, nor to counterattack Pingyang, but to build a big palace in Zhongyang County where he stayed temporarily.

As a caravan from the Central Plains, they brought so many scarce commodities. It didn’t take Wu Erlang to find a way to establish a relationship with Hu Yanyou. Their goods were confiscated as soon as they entered the city.

Said that there was an anomaly, and suspected that they were the secret agents of the Jin State, so all the things they brought were confiscated.

At that moment, not only Wu Erlang, but even Ming Yu felt chills down his spine, thinking that they died before they left the army, and they were exposed in advance.

As a result, the Huns just took their goods and did not arrest them. Ming Yu instantly understood that they had taken a fancy to their goods and just found an excuse to **** them away.

He didn’t stop him, but let Wu Erlang hint to the other party that they still have a batch of valuable goods behind them, and they know Hu Yanyou’s retainers. This time, some gifts are for Hu Yanyou. This trip is also for business. With the opening of the trade route, they will continue to transport treasures from the Central Plains in the future.

The soldiers who captured them heard that they were familiar with Huyanyou’s retainers, so they didn’t dare to be too tough, but they didn’t return the goods directly, but took them to General Huyan’s mansion to make sure.

Wu Erlang was terrified, because this was really an excuse.

He went to Mingyu with a pale face.

Ming Yu looked calm, and glanced at Wu Erlang reassuringly. While waiting for the retainers in Huyan’s mansion, he calmly glanced at Wu Erlang’s arms.

Wu Erlang realized instantly, and when he thought of the things in his arms, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Yanyou’s retainer came out frowning, and before he could speak, Wu Erlang immediately went up to him, quickly took out something from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand, and said with a flattering smile: “General, last time General Huyan asked for something. The golden Buddha and the small beaded ones were all found, but when they entered the city…”

He looked at the soldiers, but he didn’t say what he said next, but the retainers understood it.

The retainer glanced down at the crystal clear glass bead in his hand. It was a glass bead as big as a child’s fist.

It was the first time for the vassal to see such a treasure, his eyes were straightened, but he quickly came back to his senses, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and looked back at Wu Erlang calmly, “Is it the golden Buddha and pearls that the general asked for?”

Seeing that the retainers liked this glazed bead so much, Wu Erlang’s heart moved, and he immediately said: “Yes, all of them came according to the general’s request, except for the golden Buddha and pearls, there are also colored glazes from Yuzhou.”

The vassal heard that Liuli was still there, his face relaxed and he smiled, he nodded and said: “That’s right, you just wait.”

Wu Erlang immediately bowed his head and stood aside.

The retainers looked at the soldiers who brought them with a sullen face, and said, “This is the caravan of our general’s mansion. You are too bold to even stop the general’s caravan!”

Wu Erlang frowned, thinking of the things they brought this time, he couldn’t help but feel heartbroken. Fortunately, he listened to Mr. Ming’s words and left half of the things outside, so they came in first to explore the way.

Unexpectedly, all the connections he made before were useless, and the Huns were too domineering. They robbed the original Zhongyang County, even the passing merchants.

The vassals gave them a scolding and drove the soldiers away.

Wu Erlang took a quick look at the steward waiting on the side, and winked at the soldiers, and the steward expressed his understanding.

When the retainers brought Wu Erlang and Ming Yu in, he ran after the soldiers, took out his money bag and stuffed it into the hands of the leading soldier, nodded and bowed: “Brother, forgive me, brother, our master will also Looking at the general’s face, this is really troublesome for you.”

The soldier touched the money bag and opened it to see that there was a lot of Zhao’s new money inside. After turning it upside down, he felt that there was a lot of money, and his face became better.

He nodded and said: “We also obey orders, as long as your master doesn’t blame you.”

“How dare you blame me, how dare I blame you,” the manager said with a flattering smile, “We are merchants who know the hard work of our brothers defending the city. There are so many people coming in and out every day, and it depends on you to maintain order and ensure safety. ”

The soldier’s face became better, and he even smiled, “It’s hard work for you to go to business, and there are many bandits on the road now, so it’s not easy to go, right?”

“That’s right,” the steward took the opportunity to cry, “For the sake of the general, most places are easy to go to, but it’s chaotic outside, and there are always some unruly people, so we have always pinned our heads to our trouser belts. The door has to be arranged up and down, so I can earn a lot of food.”

The soldier pondered.

The steward stretched out his hand, took out a small glazed bead and stuffed it into his hand, and said in a low voice, “If you want me to say, you can’t lack the upper dots, but you can’t lack the lower dots either, after all, everything is done at the bottom. The hardest working people are those of us…”

The soldier looked down at the glazed beads, held them in his palm, nodded and said, “Not bad.”

The steward breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: “From now on, brothers, please forgive me. In the future, our caravan will still have to rely on you to be tolerant.”

The soldiers responded.

It is much easier to manage the people who guard the city gate, and those who stay outside come in again, which is much more cost-effective than managing the retainers of the general’s mansion.

This time, the retainers directly picked up most of the things they brought, and only left a few miscellaneous things for Wu Erlang. That’s how they were able to see Hu Yanyou.

Ask for leave: Tomorrow, that is, March 25, please take a leave of absence. I will be a bridesmaid tomorrow, hehehe, so I can’t update tomorrow
