Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 404 War in the South 1
Zhang Bing can be regarded as a very calm person, even in front of business partners, he usually does not show himself.In short, Zhang Bing gave people the impression that he was an unsmiling and wise man. Many times, he could always point out the key to other people's problems in one sentence. Presumably, this was the reason why the Patriarch came to Zhang Bing.

"Old Zhang, this house of yours doesn't look big, but there is a hole in it inside." The visitor said, "From the outside, it looks similar to those ordinary mansions, but the inside is very exquisite. You still have good taste, Mr. Zhang. I, I will definitely make the mansion bigger, so that it will be grand enough."

"Hehe, Mr. Wang was joking. I want to make my yard bigger. The key is that I don't have the ability." Zhang Bing said with a smile, "I'm not as rich as you. Besides, if you still want to If the house grows bigger, the neighbors will have to be involved, which is not easy to deal with."

The name of the visitor was Wang Yang, and the Wang family could be considered a large family in Yecheng, but compared to Guo Tu's Guo family, it was not enough.

"I don't think Wang Lao came here to drink tea, hehe, you really don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, you, I have never seen you so caring about business with you." Zhang Bing said with a smile: "Should I send someone to prepare the banquet, let's have a few sips, I have hidden a few jars of good wine."

"Well, don't be in a hurry, by the way, why didn't you see Mrs. Sister-in-law today, and a few nephews, are they studying in the back?" Wang Yang questioned: "Why don't they bother me when my uncle comes?" Come and see me."

"Hehehe, you are always so unscrupulous. My wife has brought those rebellious sons back to her mother's house. I'm afraid it will take two months to come back. Then you rebellious son, who usually makes them study with a sad face. When you talk about leaving The relatives got excited, so they just left me alone at home." Zhang Bing explained: "Oh, there is no way to teach a child, there is no way to teach a child."

"Haha, I told you to take care of the delivery, no, the children don't kiss you anymore, hahaha, it's what they deserve." Wang Yang laughed and scolded: "Okay, the children finally went out to play, and you Be frowning.

Hehe, you are the only one at home now, and those servants don't know how to serve you. How about it, Mrs. Sister-in-law is not at home now, or I will take you out to have a good time, brother, and I guarantee that no one will know.

Look at you, you usually learn the health-preserving skills of those Taoist priests, but now you are not as thin as a monkey, you are not like my brother, hehe, the wine pond and meat forest, beautiful women are like clouds, haha, this is life, you don’t even like it . "

"If you have something to talk about, don't talk nonsense if you have nothing to do. If you have nothing to do, go back and play in your wine pool and meat forest. I still have to read." Zhang Bing pretended to be angry, but in fact, he had nothing to do with this business partner.

"You guys, I'm just joking with you, you still take it seriously." Wang Yang quickly replied: "To be honest, something really happened, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you. I want to buy a weapon from you. It would be best if I could Get me two hundred suits of armor, the best ones, you know, money is not an issue. But fast, preferably within five days."

Zhang Bing put down his teacup, he stared at Wang Yang, and then asked with a smile: "Why, maybe your concubines can't be dealt with, now it's time to get real, hahahaha."

"Don't laugh, to be honest, you kid is still making fun of me." Wang Yang replied cautiously: "Don't say that brother doesn't take care of you, tell you something you shouldn't say, Jizhou, the sky is about to change, No one can guarantee what will happen at that time, I'd better arm some family soldiers first, so as to avoid being robbed by those bandits."

Hearing this sentence, the corners of Zhang Bing's mouth twitched twice. If someone else heard it, they might not be able to guess the meaning, but how could Zhang Bing not understand that the sky in Jizhou is going to change, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"I'll try my best to get things for you, but time is a little tight, so I'll find a way." Zhang Bing replied solemnly: "However, Mr. Wang, this matter is true. After all, it is not easy for me as a big family. If that's the case, then I have to make preparations, it's better to let my wife and the others stay in my mother's house."

"Hey, you're lucky. It just so happens that Mrs. Sister-in-law and the others are not here. I have to make other preparations. Well, it's up to you. Get it for me as soon as possible. I'm leaving now. I'll contact you later if I have something to do. , Mr. Zhang, you are also ready, that's all I can say, take care."

After finishing speaking, Wang Yang took his leave and wanted to leave. Zhang Bing got up to see him off and then went back to the secret room. Then he quickly wrote a letter and handed it to his most reliable cronies for him to send out.

After finishing all these tasks, Zhang Bing went back to his study. He had a hobby of practicing calligraphy when he was upset, especially after Zhang Jaw brought him a copy of Cai Yong's authentic calligraphy last time. He prefers to stay in the study.

After writing for half an hour, Zhang Bing grinned and said: "Hehe, the sky is going to change, let's change, let's change, let me see how you can change...

Jizhou was gradually shrouded in dark clouds, and the whole north of Dahan was not very peaceful. However, the south, which was originally relatively stable, now seemed a little turbulent.

In the south, Huainan, Yuan Shu already had his own territory. After conquering Huainan, he quickly invested in the plan of building a horse farm and cavalry. It stands to reason that he should follow Gongsun Xu's suggestion and it will soon be effective.

In fact, this was indeed the case. Yuan Shu's cavalry did look a little better now, but his new troubles also came.

At the beginning, Gongsun Xu only told him how to form cavalry and how to build a horse farm, but Gongsun Xu did not tell him that all these required huge financial resources and systematic logistics as support. When Yuan Shu devoted himself to his dream, he But he didn't expect that a famine was about to appear under his rule.

Huainan was originally a rich place, so it is reasonable to say that such a thing should not happen, but Yuan Shu didn't notice it. When his subordinates sent the situation in various places one after another, Yuan Shu also felt overwhelmed.

If there is not enough food, then he will be in trouble in the future. Apart from Huainan, he occupies Yangzhou and Yuzhou in his current territory. However, in general, his territory is not big enough. From the very beginning, Yuan Shu wanted to He wants to expand his territory, Yangzhou is a good place, and Yuzhou is also a good place, he wants both.

Yuan Shu set up the cavalry to allow himself to gain more advantages in the next battle, but now that he is almost out of food, how can he occupy the territory? Maybe there will be problems inside himself up.

After careful consideration, Yuan Shu felt that it would not be difficult to solve this problem. Huainan was originally an area of ​​production. As long as this period of time passed, and after next year's grain harvest, this problem could be solved.

There are two ways to get through the current hurdle. One is to temporarily suspend the formation of cavalry and the construction of the racecourse, which can save a lot of expenses, but doing so will definitely delay Yuan Shu's plan, and Yuan Shu is of course unwilling.

The second thing, since there is no food, you can borrow it.Huainan had no food, but Jingzhou definitely had it. Jingzhou was like a big granary. Liu Biao probably had too much food to eat. Yuan Shu had no reason to let go of such an opportunity.

Huainan borders Jingzhou, and the two places can be regarded as neighbors. Yuan Shu wants to rely on Liu Biao to tide over the difficulties, but can Liu Biao help him?

It has to be said that sometimes, Yuan Shu really takes himself too seriously, and it is not easy to discuss with several of his counselors to borrow food. The letter was also sent to Jingzhou.

Yuan Shu is now at home waiting for the food to be delivered to his door. He hopes that his problem can be solved smoothly. After all, this is related to his great cause and his future.

Unfortunately, dreams are always good, but reality is always cruel.The envoy sent by Yuan Shu was finally sent back to the country with a gift. To put it mildly, it was sent back to the country with a gift.

Yuan Shu has a lot of shortcomings, but he has an advantage, and this advantage is probably a bit similar to Gongsun Xu.That is to take good care of his subordinates, especially those old courtiers who followed him to start a business, and Yuan Shu took good care of them.

Besides, the people sent out by Yuan Shu represent Yuan Shu's face. This is a matter of personal dignity, and it is also the dignity of Yuan Shu's power. This is undoubtedly a slap in the face of Yuan Shu.

After receiving such a reply, not only Yuan Shu was angry, but the entire Yuan Shu faction was also angry. If this matter is over, how can we stand in the present world in the future? Besides, Jingzhou is a neighbor, but if this If the neighbors don't take themselves seriously, who can guarantee that such neighbors will not cause trouble for themselves in the future.

It is not a gentleman not to take revenge. Moreover, if this matter is not handled properly, Yuan Shu feels that it will be difficult for him to appease his subordinates. Even if he is just pretending, he has to make his subordinates feel that his lord is sincerely treating them well.

After summoning his subordinates, Yuan Shu asked viciously: "Jingzhou is a land of great production. I put down my face and borrowed 20 shi from Liu Biao. 20 shi is just a drop in the bucket to Liu Biao, but Liu Biao won't give it. If so , that's fine, he Liu Biao is stingy, and I'm in this trouble again, so I can't blame others.

However, Liu Biao, relying on being a relative of the emperor, relying on the sharpness of the Jingzhou navy, relying on the fact that he is the shepherd of Jingzhou, he can ignore my Huainan and Yuan Shu, you say? ,what should we do? "

"My lord, I would like to lead [-] elite troops to crusade against Jingzhou. I will let Liu Biao know what will happen to me if I offend my lord." Ji Ling immediately stood up and asked for orders, and other generals followed suit. Now is the time to fight for success, and no one wants to miss.

This is what Yuan Shu wants. His career is still on the rise, and his generals want to make more contributions one by one. Only such a group has hope.

For Jingzhou, Yuan Shu has long been jealous, but he is not willing to provoke Liu Biao before the time comes, but this does not mean that he is afraid of Liu Biao, otherwise, why is he training the army so hard and forming cavalry? Is it a decoration?
