Chapter 91 Red Boy(1/2)
The "nianxiang" was really not given in vain. Compared with the small favors Fu Yanqing usually gave, Xu Xian was quite generous. The soldiers really didn't want this "nianxiang" to be lost with Xu Xian's life.
Three thousand people gathered together and stood in front of the Red Scarf Capital. The bearded leader got off his horse and walked to Xu Xian and knelt down on one knee, "My subordinate is Yuhou Mengjun, the capital of the Second Army of the Tianxiong Army. From now on we are brothers."
So I followed Deputy Envoy Xu, who will not hesitate to go through fire and water if he is sent to do so!"
This bearded man's appearance was not "handsome" at all, but what he said sounded really beautiful to Xu Xian. Xu Xian quickly got off his horse and helped him up, "Then Xu will have to trouble Brother Meng more. Come on."
stand up!"
"Deputy Envoy Xu, wait a moment while I go to persuade the two groups from the north and the south to retreat!"
"Brother Meng, be careful and don't conflict with them!"
"Don't worry, Deputy Xu, it's just my own family who can't fight!"
This principle is not only useful in the Tianxiong Army, but also in the Dianqian Division. On the night when Guo Wei died, Li Chongjin tried to mutiny. Two groups of people came together and grinned. The gun heads were pressed to the chest, but no one stabbed him.
Meng Jun went for a cup of tea and came back with two people. Without asking, he knew that they were the commanders of the northern and southern groups. Meng Jun introduced their identities to Xu Xian and said to them: "This
It’s the famous Deputy Ambassador Xu. I believe you have heard of his reputation, so I won’t say more.
The most important thing is that he is the emperor's confidant, he has many properties under his command, and he is very righteous. The boy in my family can't control him even after beating him countless times, and he never obeys others.
But I have only been working under Deputy Commander Xu for a month, and I seem to have grown up several years. I will never mention Deputy Commander Xu when I open my mouth. Fortunately, I am still alive, otherwise I would really have to change my surname to Xu."
"Brother Meng is Meng Qing's father. I would say that this boy is sensible, polite, handsome and upright. He turns out to be Xiao's father."
"Yes, Deputy Commander Xu's teachings are good. Deputy Commander Xu loves soldiers as much as his children. He sincerely treats us Qiu Ba as human beings and gives them an inheritance as soon as he makes a move. No matter how big or small, this kind of intention is unprecedented." Meng Jun
Pointing to the two comrades beside him, he said, "These two brothers also respect the deputy envoy's character and are willing to serve under him."
Regardless of whether it was true or false, there was no reason not to accept what was delivered to the door. Xu Xian helped the two of them up from the ground to comfort them, and hinted that they would not forget their benefits.
A group of elite cavalry rushed over and stopped at a distance. Han Guangling shouted loudly: "Meng Jun, are you going to betray King Wei!"
Meng Jun replied loudly: "Commander Han must be careful, I, Meng Jun, am a minister of Zhou Dynasty and I am loyal to His Majesty. The King of Wei is just my superior, not my master. How can I betray you?"
Han Guangling said sarcastically: "Unexpectedly, all the benefits gained by King Wei in the past two years have been given to white-eyed wolves."
"That little benefit is not enough for me to stuff my teeth into. The most important thing is that I don't regard me as a human being. I have already had enough of your birdiness."
It is inevitable for a loving couple to quarrel, not to mention the arrogant prince on one side and the arrogant soldier on the other. The two sides may have been at odds for a long time and are just waiting for the right moment to break out.
"Okay! That's great! Just wait until you lose your official position!"
Xu Xian took a step forward with his hands behind his back and said to Han Guangling: "Commander Han won't bother with this. I will go back to Shangshu to apply for Brother Meng's job, and I will be the commander of Tianxiong Army."
Meng Jun was also a wonderful person. He laughed and said: "Commander Han, don't worry. When I become the commander, you can become the deputy commander. I don't hold grudges and will never yell at me like that."
of."
Han Guangling snorted coldly: "Xu Xian, don't think that King Wei can't deal with you. Let's wait and see!"
Han Guangling said a harsh word and led the people away. Xu Xian only took it as a harsh word. The Tianxiong Army did not include regiment training and rural soldiers. There were only 15,000 elite tooth soldiers in total. Xu Xian had 5,000 under his command.
People cannot fight this battle.
Zhengyi has no profit to use, and there are two thousand more people for nothing. Xu Xian has no choice but to divide another part of the business that has not yet disappeared. These people are more concerned about business than Xu Xian, and they can't wait to have it tomorrow.
A winery rises from the ground.
Naturally, Xu Xian would not go back on his promise, otherwise he would definitely end up miserable. He immediately separated a group of people from the water thieves and took his handwritten letter to Kaifeng to transport the wine by water.
Before leaving, Meng Jun grabbed the water thief by the collar and said, "Remember to bring the wine here honestly. If you dare to bring the wine and go to the water pool again to be a thief, I will kill the remaining half of the people!"
"
Seeing thousands of people riding down the river, five thousand veterans licked their tongues, probably imagining the scene of drinking heavily, Xu Xian couldn't help but frown, this business would be ruined if it didn't get off the ground.
"General Manager, now we have a firm foothold in the Tianxiong Army, and my contribution is indispensable!"
Jiubao came to ask for credit inexplicably, which made Xu Xian very puzzled, "What's your credit? Did you eat less than others or pull more than others?"
"Don't you find it strange that Marquis Meng Yu knows so many things about you?"
"Is it any wonder that I am famous all over the world after winning a few battles in Huainan?"
Jiubao nodded and said, "It's partly because of this, but it's mainly because of me! I'm afraid the manager doesn't know that that Meng Yuhou is the son of my cousin's seventh uncle's grandfather's family. I seemed to have met him when I went back to visit my relatives last time.
I passed him and asked me a lot about you. It was precisely because I knew you that I dared to bring people to join you. Do you think I have any credit for this?"
"Yes! This year's best pacesetter is for you!"
Jiubao slapped his thigh and said: "Who cares about those few strings of money? I asked you if you could promote me to be a commander and leave all these five hundred people to me."
Before Xu Xian finished speaking, he heard someone outside the tent shouting: "Why do you want to be the commander? I am the youngest person to be the commander!"
Dakui rushed into the tent and said: "Wu Liang has been in command a long time ago, it's my turn this time!"
"Then why is it you! Just because you are stupider than others!" Xiao Zi rushed in immediately, "Speaking of which, it is not easy for me to be a scout. Not long ago, I followed the general manager into the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion at night!"
"Haha... don't mention going to the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, if it weren't for the fact that your manager has a reputation for stealing women's bellybands."
The Muggle, who had always been taciturn, suddenly roared: "I also want to be a commander."
Dakui said: "What's the use of just talking! It's better to have a fight and whoever wins will be the commander!"
Xu Xian grabbed the Muggle and persuaded him: "Muggle, why are you joining in the fun? Why don't you serve as my personal soldier and block my arrows in the future?"
"No, I also have the ambition to make progress and strive for a future for Madou. Ah! I'm here!"
Looking at the four people fighting in a group, Xu Xian shouted loudly, "That's enough! Whoever finds the place where Fu Yanqing hides his horse will be the commander!"
Fu Yanqing has a deep obsession and will not easily give up the idea that is destined to miss him. Xu Xian can only take away some of Fu Yanqing's capital for rebellion. This is also for his own good. As for whether Fu Yanqing will hate him even more,
Xu Xian no longer cares.
The Tianxiong Army has six states under its jurisdiction. It is not easy to find a place to hide horses. Even if Xu Xian has 100,000 heavenly soldiers scattered out, it is difficult to find it. Even a local snake like Meng Jun has been looking for half a month, and almost no one can find it.
A thorough search of Daming Mansion was conducted, and not even a single horse hair was found.
However, the winery has been successfully opened. Before the good wine can be landed, the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army rushed to the boat, grabbed a jar of wine, and couldn't wait to open the bottle and poured it into his mouth without even using a bowl.
"It's really good wine!" Meng Jun put down the wine jar, stretched out his hand to wipe the scattered wine on his beard, and when he saw Xu Xian coming over, he said, "Deputy Ambassador Xu is here to have a drink too."
Xu Xian quickly found a big bowl and said, "Thank you Marquis Meng Yu for that wine!"
"What did Deputy Ambassador Xu say? You asked us brothers to have a drink, so we should be the ones thanking you."
"No, no, no!" Xu Xian bowed his hands and said, "I should thank you. This time I asked someone to bring five thousand jars of good wine. If each of the brothers in the Tianxiong Army can get a jar, it will be treated as their own.
Share capital, now you use the stock capital to treat me to a drink, how can I not thank you!"
Meng Jun, who was pouring wine for Xu Xian, trembled with his hands and immediately straightened the wine jar and said: "Then... what if all the shares are drunk?"
"This business is definitely ruined!"
"Hehe... This wine is very strong, Deputy Ambassador Xu should drink less!" Meng Jun covered the mud seal, put the wine jar on the ground, and slapped the soldier on the side who was still drinking on the back, "Damn it.
, What kind of business are we doing after we have lost all our capital? When we sell the wine and make money, we are still afraid that we will have no more wine to drink. If we still drink, we will lose our property and lose our hearts. Whoever dares to drink again will be killed by me.
Off his head."
Meng Jun asked people to collect all the wine and personally guarded it, which was more strict than the emperor's guard. The next day, he ordered people to set up a shed on the official road leading to the city gate and sell the wine himself. Whenever any pedestrian passed by, there would be
The soldiers force you to come over to drink. If you don't want to drink, they will force you to drink it, and then they will find the money for the drink from you.
"I only have two pennies on me, spit it out quickly, or I'll kill you!"
The innocent passerby knelt on the ground, crying and begging for mercy. I don't know whether he fainted from fright or was really drunk. After a while, his eyes closed and there was no movement.
Xu Xian came up and joked: "Marquis Meng Yu, you can't make money by doing this business. Why don't you just listen to me and distribute the wine to those restaurants and tea shops, and you just collect the money?"
Meng Jun seemed a little angry, "In the past, those restaurants didn't know how much money they defrauded me of with sour soup. Now they want me to sell wine to them. Isn't it just making them money in vain?"
"If you keep doing this, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get your capital back. This is all the children's property. If you lose everything, let's see if you still have the nerve to go home."
"General Manager, General Manager!" Jiubao ran over in a hurry and whispered to Xu Xian, "His Majesty's secret envoy is here!"
Xu Xian heard this and hurried to the camp. The fact that Chai Rong sent an emissary showed that he attached great importance to this matter. When he entered the tent, he saw Old Mutou sitting behind his desk and eating a lot.
"Who did I think it was, it turned out to be you!"
Lao Mu Tou swallowed the soup cake in his mouth, "You don't want to see me that much?"
"When you come here, nothing good will happen!"
"Who says no! Let me tell you a happy event first. Your mother-in-law gave birth to a son!"
"I knew about this a few days ago!" Xu Xian was still a little annoyed when he mentioned this. The group of water thieves who went to Tokyo to transport wine came back after taking the wine, but they didn't even go to Zhao's house to ask for a letter.
The news about Wa'er was relayed by Lao Zhang.
"Now that you know, it seems that my letter home is a waste!" Old Mu Tou took out a letter from his arms and waved it in front of Xu Xian's eyes.
Xu Xian quickly grabbed it in his hand and tore open the seal. He took out the letter and opened it. He only glanced at it. His eyes couldn't help but heat up. He saw only a small black handprint on it. He knew who it belonged to without asking.
Old Mu Tou stood up and took a look, "These little hands are so fat! He is a lucky baby!"
Xu Xian looked at the envelope again and found it was empty, "Is this the only one?"
"Before I left, I went to the Zhao Mansion to look after the baby for you. It was hard to say that I was coming to Daming Mansion in front of so many people, so I told your mother-in-law the truth while no one else was around and told her to hurry up.
I wrote you a letter, but who knew I would end up doing this? Hey, there seems to be writing on the back of this letter."
