I rode and slashed unparalleled in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 687 Youth Storm
Hongnong City, warm winter sun.

At the market, hundreds of female students from the art troupe, including the Hu sisters, formed a song and dance troupe of hundreds of people.

When it first appeared, it caused a huge sensation.

As the singing and dancing troupe led by the Hu Ji sisters entered the venue, the entire Hongnong City seemed to be on fire and was extremely lively.

More and more people came out of their homes and flocked to the venue, wanting to see this rare beauty.

Those officials and common people from aristocratic families who were originally skeptical of Su Yao were also attracted by the grand scene and stopped to watch.

"Is this...is this really an event held by the legendary Champion Marquis?"

A young man from a noble family muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief.

He had never thought that a general who was rumored to be cruel and ruthless could hold such a grand rally.

And those officials from aristocratic families who were originally hostile to Su Yao now had to admit that the scale of this rally was indeed something they had not anticipated before.

"Humph, that's inappropriate!"

But some people are also making sarcastic remarks:
"Don't you see what time it is? A war is about to begin. Singing and dancing, making such a big show, you are really a fool, you don't know the priorities!"

An old man from an aristocratic family dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding a cane, shook his head solemnly. Several young officials beside him also nodded, their eyes revealing dissatisfaction and disdain for Su Yao's actions.

"That's right. Is this what a wise ruler would do?"

Another official echoed, his words tinged with contempt:

"If you are a truly wise lord, you would be preparing for war right now instead of having fun here."

However, although they spoke very convincingly, their eyes were all staring straight at the girls' fair bodies.

At this time, the dance of the Hu Ji sisters was coming to an end, but the audience's enthusiasm had not diminished at all, and the whole event reached its climax.

The crowd applauded and cheered, cheering for this rare and wonderful performance.

In this age of entertainment scarcity, this is a scene that many people will never see in their entire lives.

They couldn't help but admire it.

What was even more surprising and unexpected was that immediately after the song and dance performance, many girls suddenly transformed into legendary salesmen and introduced the treasures of the caravan.
"My fellow villagers!"

"Dear gentlemen!"

"Today, our Zhen's Company and our partners in Luozhong have come all the way from the capital, bringing you many rare treasures. I guarantee that they will open your eyes!"

Among the many girls, there was a pair of women wearing bright and bold clothes and smiling sweetly, waving their hands to attract everyone's attention.

Bright and bold clothing, yes.

I saw two people, one wearing a red dress and the other a green skirt, but they were not wearing the common skirts worn by Han girls. Instead, they were a close-fitting style with a short-sleeved top and shorts.

The two of them showed their snow-white arms and thighs. Although they were not as gorgeous as the Hu sisters, they had a unique sense of freshness and vitality.

The two of them were the girls, Xiaotao and Xiaolu, who were rescued from the bandits' camp by Su Yao before.

After being rescued by Su Yao, the two regained their cheerful personalities after a period of rest.

At the same time, they were also full of gratitude to Su Yao. In order to repay Su Yao for saving their lives, Xiaotao and Xiaolu took the initiative to offer to do something for Su Yao.

Su Yao saw that the two were smart, cheerful and enthusiastic. Although they had no talent for dancing, they were friendly and sensitive to numbers, so he asked them to help Zhen Jiang manage the business. And the two did not disappoint Su Yao's expectations and soon showed their talent in business marketing.

Under the careful guidance of Zhen Jiang and others, Xiao Tao and Xiao Lu not only learned how to manage accounts, but also mastered the skills of communicating with customers. With the help of Su Yao's various marketing methods in the future, the two soon became the gold medal salesmen of Zhen's company.

Along the way, he helped Zhen Jiang establish trade routes in Liaodong and also tried his hand in Luoyang City.

Now, with the expansion of the business and Su Yao’s ambition to advance into Guanzhong.

Zhen's firm also shouldered greater responsibilities.

Not only did they shoulder the task of transporting the logistics and supplies for Su Yao's army, they also brought a large number of specialties from Liaodong, as well as treasures and goods confiscated and purchased from Luoyang, to Hongnong.

To this end, just to support the advance of Su Yao's army of 5,000 cavalry, they mobilized more than 20,000 horses for logistics.

In addition to the horses earned from Yuan Shao's Guandong Army, the key to achieving all this was that Su Yao had established the Xiongnu-Bingzhou horse trade route early on, as well as the support of the Liaodong base.

When Su Yao was managing Liaodong, the Zhen family business continued to collect horses and concentrate them in Hebei and the Central Plains, and then dispersed them to various places through caravans.

After the Central Plains Anti-Dong Campaign was launched, these advance arrangements began to show their effects.

This was the key to Su Yao's ability to firmly occupy Yique with his isolated army, and it was also the key to his ability to continue to defeat Hangu Pass and conquer Hongnong shortly after retaking Luoyang.

Behind the glamorous and dizzying speed are the silent hard work and excellent scheduling of countless unknown logistics personnel.

As the most important logistical and intelligence pillar under Su Yao, Zhen's Company played an irreplaceable role in this Western Expedition.

They were not only responsible for the collection and transportation of horses, but also for the fundraising and supply of large quantities of materials such as food, weapons, equipment, as well as the auction of spoils, etc.

The current Hongnong Fair is a battle for the Zhen family business to come to the fore.

Even though Su Yao pushed forward quickly, reducing consumption and seizing a lot of spoils, the war still consumed a huge amount of food and supplies.

This is also the reason why Su Yao does not easily use large troops to fight.

Behind every mobilized soldier is the burden of several families.

After Dong Zhuo's looting and plundering, Luoyang did not leave him with much supplies.

Su Yao also didn't want to exhaust all the resources and plunder the territory he had just recovered, which would have caused public resentment.

Therefore, it is very necessary to supplement it through trade activities.

For example, the current grand event like the Hongnong Fair is an important event organized by Su Yao and Zhen Jiang to solve logistical problems.

Through peaceful commercial activities, not only can the army replenish its supplies, but it can also strengthen its ties with the local people, share what it has, stabilize the people's hearts, and lay a solid foundation for the next battle.

We must not only win this battle, but we must win big!
The result, of course, was a huge success.

The song and dance troupe led by the two sisters Hu Ji attracted the attention of the whole city, so much so that when they left the stage, the scholars and civilians at the scene could not recover from the youthful storm for a long time. No one noticed that the layout of shops around the square had been completed unknowingly.

Zhenjia Store has set up a boutique area for wealthy families and an affordable area for ordinary people based on the different wealth levels of the guests.

Xiaotao and Xiaolu worked together with the people from the Zhenjia Chamber of Commerce and demonstrated extraordinary sales skills.

They enthusiastically introduced the various products brought by Zhen’s Company.

From the precious furs and northern pearls of Liaodong to the exquisite silk and lacquerware of Luoyang, there are all kinds of jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and even iron pots, toys, special delicacies and rare candies made by Su Yao. Everything is dazzling.
