Looking at the past from afar, the great plain bordering Jizhou turned out to be dusty, and in the shock of the earth, it seemed that countless horses' hooves were beating the earth heavily, standing on the city gate and looking at this scene, the muscles on the corners of Zhao Yun's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but clench his fist nervously beside Wang Hou.

"Lord, transfer the city defense army!"

"You don't need it, just go down with Benfu-kun to greet the guests!"

Putting down the binoculars, Wang Hou laughed relaxedly, and then turned around and walked towards the stairs under the city wall, looking at his back, he sighed helplessly, carrying his spear, and hanging two short firearms around his waist, Zhao Yun also hurriedly followed.

Compared with the menacing cavalry, the hundred cavalry cavalry that Puyang welcomed out was too small, like an insect facing the hot rosin, but even Wang Hou's pro-soldiers were frightened, this huge cavalry group actually stopped less than fifty meters in front of him, facing the opposite side, Wang Hou laughed and clenched his fists.

"General Yan, I haven't seen you for a few days, don't come to harm!"

Obviously unwilling to see Wang Hou, the corners of his mouth twitched again, and he rode on the horse and grabbed the reins of the horse, Yan Liang snorted gloomily: "A certain family has been in the name of another driver, escorting the caravan here, and if you don't enter Puyang, Wang Taishou doesn't need to worry!" ”

"Ha, everyone is a minister of the Han family, what is Wang worried about? Wang also set up a banquet in the city, Puyang's stir-fried dishes are now famous, why don't the generals go into the city together and have a few drinks? ”

"This year's autumn harvest, Yan will come to pick up your Puyang, farewell!"

In Zhao Yun's worries, Yan Liang really pulled the reins of the horse and turned away, followed by him, hundreds of Hebei cavalry also pulled out their horses and turned away, but there was still a large group of horses left in place, and now Zhao Yun understood that these were all horses, and there were no cavalry accompanying them.

And after Yan Liang left, the main master finally showed up, and four or five scholars and scholars glanced at Yan Liang's departing back with disdain, and then he kicked the horse with a smile on his face and walked over to Wang Hou, and the one who took the lead laughed and hugged his fists heavily.

"Jizhou Guo Chongxian, meet Wang Taishou."

Glancing at the horses behind him, the young and personable young man smiled meaningfully again: "On the orders of Guo Beijia, we came to trade and experience, and I hope that the prince of the mansion will be good at it!" ”

"Well said! Say! ”

Seeing the horse, Wang Hou's eyes straightened, and he was busy clenching his fists in response, and at the same time he raised his sleeves heavily behind him.

"This way, please!"

"Please!"

..........

With the mighty more than 5,000 Hebei horses being brought into Puyang City, Wang Hou's cross business plan was finally completed, and the family gate valves of the four states of Hebei finally couldn't hold back, and went south with a huge business group to join the big cake of this Puyang business district.

And it is worthy of being recuperated under Yuan Shao, the wealthy Hebei Gate Valve, this shot has far exceeded whether it is Guanzhong or Xuzhou, or Yanzhou counties, the major Hebei families have a total of more than 3,000 businessmen, 5,000 horses are only what you see in front of you, there are estimated 70,000 or 80,000 pieces of cloth carrying more than 2,000 boxes on the horseback, more than 10,000 stones of grain pulled by the carriage behind, and even more than 1,000 pieces of good wood pulled by oxen, leaving sparse gadgets such as lamp oil and bronze furniture. Wang Hou didn't know how many there were.

This batch of goods entered the city, and Puyang City, which was already quite lively, set off a small climax again, and before they landed, the family stewards from Xuzhou and the Central Plains had already rushed over, but looking at the swarming and shouting merchants, several children of the Jizhou family led by Guo Chongxian showed a face full of disdain and disdain to throw the horse reins to the side, and even hugged Wang Hou directly with a fist.

"I heard that Hedong is now a must-have for stir-frying, and the world's famous chefs gather here, Fujun, let these laymen go to the baht by themselves, and they will be full of copper smell! How about we have a drink? ”

To tell the truth, Wang Hou really wanted to see how many good things these gentlemen in front of him brought, but Guo Chongxian said so, so he had no choice but to give his subordinate steward Wang Tao a look, and immediately hugged his fist at them.

"This way, please!"

Now Wang Hou's forty new shops in Puyang City have been completely used up, he himself only left four, two to Cao Cao, and four to Chen Deng, Chen Deng brought Xuzhou merchants to see that the business was good, and took out silver money and cloth to buy four, and occupied the best shops near Taishou Mansion first.

It was also seen that the momentum of Puyang was good, and the Yingchuan family and the wealthy families of the Central Plains also hurriedly donated generously, but here Wang Hou was only willing to sell real estate in limited quantities, and only gave them eight small shops, as for the later Guanzhong gate valve, it was also impartial to give eight.

Finally, the ten shops leaning against the west city gate are completely upside down, and the Guo, Xin, Tian, Zhang, Gao, Chunyu, Yuan, Xu and other people who have just come in are a total of ten families with the surname of Hebei, one family.

Leaving behind the hot sales of those sought-after Hebei goods, with these children of the family, Wang Hou returned to the Puyang Restaurant at the gate of the Taishou Mansion and was named Shaxian Hotel by him, at this time, the restaurant was completely overcrowded, more than 100 tables on the first floor were full, and the Xuzhou businessmen who had just come back or the Guanzhong Gate Valve Steward sat together and talked about business or exchanged information, not to mention seven or eight hundred people, in order to entertain such a large group of rich uncles, The cauldron in the back kitchen is also about to catch up with the size of the pig food pot, and the chef who is shaking the spoon is tired and sweaty, and more than a dozen young men are busy with pottery plates and hit the back of their heads.

No matter what the era, it is foodies who occupy the world, and the turnover of the restaurant alone is more than 100,000 yuan a day, and it even exceeds the ironware shop that Wang Hou has high hopes for.

Seeing Wang Hou leading Guo Chongxian and a few scholars, the guests on the first floor were surprised to hug their fists and say hello, Wang Hou didn't have a smile and hugged his fists left and right to return the salute, but Guo Chongxian had a few eyeballs on the top of his brain, and he ignored the arrogant ignorance, and followed him straight to the second floor.

Before the crossing, Wang Hou's dream came true, that is, to open a restaurant, come and eat by himself, and spend no money every day! Every day at noon, he has to come to the second floor to dine in high spirits, and the chef in the small kitchen on the second floor has already prepared all the dishes.

Or the golden river shrimp, the carp of the Yellow River, Chen Deng's arrival and the extra fried shrimp with leeks, soft fried loin, and so on A total of more than ten dishes, the table is full, and there are floating poached eggs of lo mein, the smell of incense, and more than a dozen high-ranking sons from Hebei almost can't maintain their noble image.

After the guest and host sat down, he tried his best to resist the urge to go up to the whirlwind chopsticks and pull, Guo Chongxian pretended to smile indifferently and hugged his fist to Wang Hou.

"I have heard that Dongjun Taishou is the minister who governs the world, and my family Yuan Gong has also admired the prince of the mansion for a long time, and when I see it today, this grand occasion of Puyang is really worthy of its name!"

"But people are good birds choose trees to perch, the talent of the prince, why bother to follow Cao Apu after this eunuch, my family Yuan Gong was born in a famous family, the first of the four generations and the three princes, if the prince of the house is willing to return, my family Yuan Gong is willing to sweep the tower to greet him, he is the position of the Yanzhou assassin history, and it is none other than the prince of the house, when will the prince of the house stay?"

Looking at this Guo Chongxian and Guo Mao's bitter appearance for his own good, the corners of Wang Hou's mouth couldn't help twitching slightly.

Indeed, this insatiable, two-faced image at both ends of the first rat has always been painstakingly managed by him in front of Hebei, but where is there a place where he is persuaded to surrender before he finds out the situation? And it's still a cake out of thin air, the history of Yanzhou thorns! It's so generous!

Speaking of which, this Guo Mao is still Guo Jia's same clan, compared to Guo Ghost, he has too many short practices.

However, this has already involved a key step in Wang Houdongjun's self-preservation, he quickly cheered up, but he also raised his head high, shaking his head with a look of affection.

"Mr. Chongxian, after all, Wang is deeply favored by Prime Minister Cao, how can he turn his back on the Lord and seek glory? If you take refuge, don't mention it again! ”

"Wang Tuqiu, don't be ignorant of lifting! General Yan Liang's 30,000 army is on the side of Huaxian County, take your tattered Puyang, overnight, now Yuan Gong is still interested in you, if you brush Yuan Gong's intentions, you will regret it! ”

Typical one sings with a red face and one with a white face, Guo Mao's persuasion failed, and the slightly fat, round-faced guy on the side, Xin Du, immediately put down the half-eaten fried fish, and threatened him.

But hearing this threat, Wang Hou was not angry, but hugged his fists with a smile on his face.

"Yuan is strong and Cao is weak, and the house of the fourth and third princes of Yuan Gong, the corporal of the world is attached, once Yuan Gong goes south, the Yellow River is broken, and it is already a sure thing that Xu Du will change hands, Wang naturally understands! But because of this, Wang can't surrender to Yuan, Wang must fulfill his duties and accompany Cao Gong through this last journey, to surrender Yuan, but also to follow Cao Gong to surrender Yuan! This party is loyal to the scholars! ”

Wang Hou's words, really choked these six Hebei Gaomen scholars who had not grown their hair looked at each other, speechless, after all, loyalty is still the first virtue of the scholars of this era, and in the words Wang Hou also praised Yuan Shao to the sky, bluntly said that Yuan Shao will win, he first occupied the commanding heights of morality, and then how to persuade? Denying the merits and martial might of their lord Yuan Shao?

Just when Guo and Xin didn't know how to continue to persuade for a while, Wang Hou was released in front of several people by a step.

"However, although Wang is loyal to Cao Gong, he still admires Yuan Gong's virtues, and after this meal, Wang has a gift for Yuan Gong, and I hope you will bring it back for Wang."

"Come, although the wine in Dongjun is not as rich as Yecheng, it also has a unique flavor, please drink this cup!"

Wang Hou will whet people's appetite, originally the matter collapsed, he drew another big cake, and in desperation, Guo Mao and Xin Du also raised their glasses and drank them with their heads held high.

A meal is still delicious, after all, the charm of stir-fried vegetables is placed there, and the restaurants in later generations are all eating stir-fried vegetables, and the six scholars from Hebei can be regarded as having fun as the guests and hosts who were entertained.

Moreover, the gift that Wang Hou took out was indeed satisfactory to them, and after eating, he followed Wang Hou to the cellar of Taishou Mansion again, and took a torch to look down, and a large number of shiny things suddenly dazzled the eyes of Guo Mao and several people.

It's not some precious candlelight treasure, armor! It's all armor!

A total of 2,000 sets! All of them are steel armor made by Wang Hou on Funiu Mountain, with fine scales, two sleeves and two pants, two heart goggles inlaid in the center of the scales on the chest, and several long strips of armor like the belly of several lobsters below.

picked up a suit of armor casually, Wang Hou drew a knife and slashed it, and with a bang, it cut out a faint trace, all of which were good armor!

Don't think that armor in this war era is not valuable, regardless of Cao Jun, Yuan Jun and Lu Bujun, most of the soldiers who can wear armor are also wearing armor or leather armor, that is, simply sewing a string of armor pieces on the chest, there is very little heavy armor, only the core parts of each family, or elite troops such as tiger and leopard riding, halberd warriors, first entering the camp, and trapping camps can be equipped.

The role of heavy armor is also very obvious, the battle of Xiapi, even if the city is broken, Gao Shun with more than 600 people in the trap camp, still hindered Xiahou and Cao Hong nearly 10,000 people from attacking for a few hours, Wang Hou gave Yuan Shao 2,000 sets of heavy armor, this value is even higher than 5,000 horses, politically, it is this kind of country's heavy weapon Wang Hou has taken it to give away, and he is still worried that he will not surrender?

And what made Guo Mao even more pleased was that Wang Hou wanted to be loyal to Cao Cao on the one hand, and on the other hand, he used this heavy weapon to leave a way back, which shows that his pessimism about Yuan Cao's battle was not a lie.

He took out a few boxes of armor at random and tried it, and this Guo Mao was finally satisfied, and he also showed a smile on his face, and hugged Wang Hou heavily.

"Good! These armors will definitely be transported back to Yecheng overnight, and express the loyalty of the prince of the palace to the Duke of Yuan! ”

"Thank you!"

Holding his fists and bowing heavily, on the old face below, Wang Hou himself also showed a smug smile like an old fox.

Fortunately, he is a traverser, so he can survive in the gap between the two major forces! "Three Kingdoms" has been read several times, read it several times, and the gods who have commented on the characters of the Three Kingdoms on the Internet in later generations have also grasped a lot of them, and even Wang Hou understands the weaknesses of his Hebei faction than Yuan Shao.

That's party strife!

Yuan Shao IV and the third duke, protégés and former officials all over the world, the world's corporal people are vying to return, which has become his advantage, but also his Achilles' heel, there is a saying in later generations, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Tian Feng repeatedly advised, but Yuan Shao didn't listen to it, not only because Yuan Shao was arrogant and couldn't listen to the advice, but a large part of the reason was because Tian Feng was born in the local faction of Jizhou, and he was the least trusted faction in Hebei! And Guo Mao and Xin Du in front of him all have one thing in common, they were born in the Yingchuan faction, and they are second only to the Nanyang faction in Yuan Shao's hometown, and they are the most valued by him.

However, although they are the two factions that are most trusted by Yuan Shao and have the heaviest rights in the four states of Hebei, they are airborne troops after all, and their family power and heritage are far inferior to the local faction of Jizhou, so as soon as they have the opportunity, in order to maintain their position, the two factions will do their best to suppress the Jizhou faction dominated by Tian Feng's frustration, take the matter of welcoming the Son of Heaven as an example, Tian Feng of the Jizhou faction is trying his best to persuade Yuan Shao to meet it, and Guo Tu and Chun Yuqiong of the Yingchuan faction are trying their best to oppose it, and finally Yuan Shao still gave the Son of Heaven to Cao Cao.

Tian Feng's eyes are vicious enough, he must be able to see that he is a scourge in Puyang, and he will definitely suggest in front of Yuan Shao that he must eradicate himself as soon as possible, so Wang Hou in order to catch up with the Yingchuan faction, looked for relationships everywhere, and even Cao Cao's relationship was used, so there was today's trip to Puyang by Guo Mao and others.

On the one hand, the trade of Puyang City will indeed benefit the Hebei clan a lot, on the other hand, these two thousand sets of armor were transported to Yecheng, even if they did not persuade themselves, but the Yingchuan faction still made great contributions, with Guo Tu and Tian Feng tearing up and fighting for themselves in front of Yuan Shao, Wang Hou believed that his Puyang would have peace of mind!

Watching the guys in Hebei prostitute their own armor, Wang Houxiao was elated for the first time!
