301 Time and chance

Zelonger left and went back to the city. He came over with a lot of questions, but he also went back with more doubts. However, he could confirm one thing, and his family would be tied to Chen Xiansong in the future. He knew that if their family didn't accept the throne, Chen Xiansong would definitely find someone else. The opportunity was rare, even if the risk was greater, he had to seize it. What kind of thing in this world is without risk? The greater the risk, the higher the reward. This is what children understand.

A few days later, the tavern in Graystone Village has now become famous in the surrounding cities. No, just talking about the "Heluo Daqu" that makes the drunkards salivate can make people linger. The only downside is that this kind of wine is not something outside the village, and can only be obtained through purchasing it by people in the village, and can only be limited to one cup every day... It's still expensive.

Many people want to approach Chen Xiansong through various channels and expressed their willingness to act as a representative of such 'famous wines'. Even the vice president of the association expressed his interest in this, but all of them were rejected by Chen Xiansong. He smiled and said, "The production of these wines is a bit low and cannot make much money. It is better to put them in the village and make the people in the village happy."

I don't know why this was passed, but the guards and villagers agreed with Chen Xiansong even more.

Speaking of Heluo Daqu, the imperial capital of Zhendan Kingdom, thousands of miles away, and the origin of Heluo Daqu, the 'Heluo wine shop' is facing a small disaster. The head of the Huang family convened the family's rooms and held a meeting in the secret room. He threw a map on the table and said: "Recently, the rebels have attacked Rong County, which is less than three hundred miles away from our Baotu Spring. If the rebels occupy Baotu Spring, then our wine must be used to attract other springs in the future. But in that way, the taste of the wine will change, which may reduce our reputation."

An elderly man muttering a pipe continued, "Clan leader. We have heard of this. The most urgent task now is to find ways to stop the rebels from going deeper. Or find ways to lead them away. Our private soldiers are not the opponents of the rebels. There are too many of them. Can we find a way to join forces with the officers and soldiers to fight against the rebels together?"

Tobacco is a unique thing in the Zhendan Kingdom. It is said that it was created by Yan Shengren and was later inherited by one of his disciples. This disciple is now the ancestor who was offered to the Li family in the ancestral temple. There are several great masters in Heluo, each with their own clan establishment. Tobacco from the Li family, porcelain from the Chen family, tribute wine from the Huang family, silk from the Tai family, snow salt from the Zhang family, and ayanese from the Wen family.

"It's a bit difficult, so it's hard to deal with the rebels. Besides, I'm not familiar with the generals in the south. It's difficult to cooperate with them." Huang said helplessly: "Those Qiu Bas are not fed, and they are greedy for as many people as they can. Unfortunately, our Huang family has always attracted more civil servants and ignored military officers. Now it's a chaotic world, and the previous response has suddenly exposed its shortcomings. Alas..."

"Actually, it's not very difficult." The old man sitting at the last year suddenly said: "Mu Xingjun has arrived near Rong County. Their commander has met me several times. If he can offer some polite gifts, I think he should cooperate with our Huang family to fight against the rebels. If he is afraid, he is afraid...

The old man wanted to speak but stopped. The leader of the Huang clan raised his head and said, "Fourth brother, just say whatever you have, and don't have to worry about it."

"Okay. The commander's surname is Chang, his name is Gongkai, and his courtesy name is Jishen. He is also a good martial artist. Everyone knows that martial artists are greedy for money, but he is greedy for him. As long as he collects money, he will help you get things done well. It's just a little bad." The old man sighed and said, "I'm a little lustful and especially like other people's wives and daughters. He doesn't know how to rob others. He likes to ask those who ask others to send their wives and daughters to warm him up for a night's bed. Whether it's beautiful or ugly, it's a wonderful person."

Hearing this, the elders smiled knowingly, and then sighed. Although the Huang family is not top in Heluo, it is also a thousand-year-old family. If they send their wife and daughter to warm up the bed, if this is reported, the face accumulated by the Huang family over a thousand years will be gone immediately.

Clan Huang asked, "Is it okay if we add more money?"

"Difficult." The old man in the last seat shook his head.

"No matter what, fourth brother, please send someone to try with him first." Huang Clan Chief stood up and said, "Now we go to the Book Pavilion and ask them to help recruit some mercenaries to help. Third brother, this matter is left to you. You are familiar with the current chief of the Pavilion, and it will be much more convenient for you to come forward. Second brother, you go to the palace with me tomorrow night to meet the Queen Mother Cixi and explain this matter to her. If it really can't be stopped, I hope she can help us say good things in front of the emperor. Don't blame us for changing the taste of the tribute wine."

That night, several fast horses set off from Heluo and headed south to Rong County. A army was stationed near the famous spring "Baotuquan" of the ages. In the center of the white camp, the word "true" was hung on the high flag. The soldiers in the camp were practicing, and in the center of the green camp, a dark-skinned young man was reading carefully with a book.

Next to him was a powerful woman from Kong Wu, like a personal guard, but her eyes were not right, her eyes were infinitely gentle, and a tenderness was poured into the young man reading.

After a while, the young man seemed to be tired. He put down the book in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. Seeing this, the woman immediately walked over, gently massaged the young man's head, and then said softly: "You're tired, have a good rest. Things like military books cannot be understood by just reading them, and you can't be too anxious."

"Can't you be in a hurry?" The young man sighed: "I've finally read and become the commander of the Wood School. But Uncle Jack asked someone to write a letter to say that Chen Xiansong's territory has been more than doubled, and it seems that he has also boarded the big ship of the City Lord's Mansion. Now it's smooth sailing. The most important thing is that he is now the president of the Soul Thinker Association. I have always felt that Heiyan City was very big, but compared with the big city of our Zhendan Kingdom, it would be pitifully small. But no matter what, he is also the president of the Soul Thinker Association. Here, Soul Thinker is called a scholar and has a higher status. If he comes here to develop, I have no chance of winning, but he is willing to stay in a small place like Heiyan City. I really don't understand why Min'er fell in love with a person like him who is willing to fall."

Kong Wu's powerful woman didn't speak, but her expression became a little dim.

The young man sighed again. He came out of Heiyan City and became a personal soldier here. Then he experienced many things. Old Shangguan died in battle half a year ago, and then he replaced Old Shangguan. Feeling that Old Shangguan was given a favor, he had been taking good care of the latter's family. After having power, there was intelligence, and many things immediately became much clearer. He began to ask someone to teach him how to read, and then bought a military book called "Liu Dao" from a scholar for a high price to learn.

After reading the book, he realized how stupid his tactics were in the past and Lao Shangguan.

Just as he was sighing, the messenger knelt outside and saw the woman walking out, then walked in and brought in a military letter. The young man opened it and looked at it, and then said, "Duke Chang's military order, he asked us to set off immediately to block the rebels for ten days, and prevent them from getting close to the 'Baotuquan'. Strangely, that place was not a strategic point, why did Gong Chang issue such an order?"

In places like the army, there is no need to think about things that cannot be understood. Just follow Shangguan's orders to act. The young man stood up and said, "Na'er, put on my armor, then go out to send an order, let the scouts set out first, and find out the situation near Baotuquan, and will soon return it. The Knife and Shield Camp and the Bow Barracks will be transferred to Baotuquan after an hour."

He thought for a while and said, "By the way, it's early winter now. After arriving at the destination, let the Dao Shield Camp cut down all the dead trees near the site. The rebels are very good at attacking fire, so they can't take advantage of the loopholes."

The young woman responded and looked at the young man with some intoxication. In just less than a year, the man transformed from a young boy who was still angry and turned into a heroic man with military power. Time and circumstances were too quick and too unbelievable to change a person.

Two days later, the rebel vanguard troops encountered the ambushed "Zhen" battalion near the "Baotuquan". Fierce battles broke out between the two sides. The Zhen battalion was murderous. Not only did it win the more with fewer defeats, it wiped out the rebel vanguard troops, but there were very few casualties. After learning the news, the rebel general Chen Fei convened a military meeting, and more than 30 leaders of all sizes attended the meeting.

Chen Shengwu, the chief leader of the rebel army, called himself the Emperor of Boldness, while Chen Fei was his younger brother and was named King Shiling.

"Yesterday, our vanguard camp was completely wiped out in front of Baotu thirty miles away." Chen Fei's expression was neither happy nor sad, as if the loss was not an army, but dozens of ants: "According to the information I have received so far, the enemy seems to be the court army called the 'Zhen' camp. Their current commander is Temujin, a powerful general who is famous for one hundred. Whenever a war occurs, he must lead the way. Therefore, everyone in the zhen camp is not afraid of death, which is extremely difficult to deal with."

"We are sixteen times the number of people in Zhenzi Camp. But the enemy defends against the mountain and blocks the side of the important road. It is not too difficult for us to break the city. But it takes some time. I am afraid that if you drag it down, the court will come to reinforcements. At that time, there will be many enemies and we are few. You can have a good plan to quickly defeat the enemy."

"Fire Attack!" shouted one person.

Chen Fei shook his head: "The enemy has cleared all the dead trees and grass near the stronghold, and this plan cannot be done."

As soon as these words were said, no one immediately spoke. The rebels were rebels, almost all of them were peasants, and there were not many people who could read. They fought all their might and added "baking and roasting". While fighting, they gathered the persecuted peasants, which made the Zhendan Kingdom uneasy in the south.

But if they really meet the elite army of the court, especially those from the north, it will be extremely difficult for them to get benefits.

"King Shiling, we can try to surrender." One of the people suddenly said, his name was Jiang Jiqing, who was no different from other Zhendan people in appearance, but he had a very special smell when speaking, and often made amazing moves. Not long after, his talent was attracted by Chen Fei and granted military power. He would always consult his opinions before the war.
