When Tian Chou arrived at the scene of the incident with 2,000 cavalry troops, the battle between the troops escorting supplies and the plundering Hu cavalry was coming to an end. More than half of the five hundred parts of the www.biquge.info were killed and wounded, and the looting Hu Qi was already starting to disassemble those supplies. Seeing such a situation, Tian Chou was furious on the spot, and directly led his troops to rush and kill those looting Hu cavalry.

Although there were more than 5,000 horsemen who plundered Hu Cai, Tian Chou's 2,000 horsemen were not fuel-efficient lamps. And if you really want to talk about it, the plundering Hu Qi belonged to several tribes and cobbled together to do "trading", and there was no unified pace to speak of; Although Tian Chou's 2,000 cavalry is the name of the tribe, it is actually the nature of the regular army!

Moreover, Tian Chou is the "dealer" that Lu Ren put on the side of Beiping on Youbeiping, and the related weapons and equipment are all leveraged. Therefore, although those patchwork looters were twice as many as Tian Chou on human horses, they were the ones who suffered after they really got started. To put it mildly, why did the five hundred infantry troops who escorted supplies before be able to hold out until Tian Chou's reinforcements came? To a large extent, it is also because the guys in the hands of the infantry troops are tough enough to withstand the impact of five thousand horsemen.

At this time, Tian Chou was really on fire, and he was fighting hard with the people. His two thousand horsemen were all elite quality and sophisticated equipment, but in a moment, he beat the five thousand horsemen to the ground and left corpses all over the place, and then scattered and fled. As for the looting of the convoy's supplies, it is better to save it.

The battle was won, but Tian Chou looked at the many corpses on the ground and the war horses scattered around, and his brows furrowed tightly.

Some people may say, is there so much chaos in the area of Beiping? When Jian'an was in the twelfth year, didn't Lao Cao kill Badun? Now that he has been killed, where is there so much shit?

I'm sorry, but the answer is that it's really that messy. In fact, throughout the dynasties of the Chinese feudal dynasties, which dynasty has really solved the problem of the northern nomads?

Lao Cao settled the situation in the twelfth year of Jian'an, but in terms of its significance, it is more like Lao Cao split a large nomadic alliance with unified leadership into many small tribes that were independent of each other. In terms of political significance, these small tribes can no longer unite to threaten Lao Cao's territory in the north, so Lao Cao will not continue to sweep these small tribes that are scurrying around like flies, and Lao Cao at that time had neither the time nor the energy.

Then next, the sporadic looting of some areas in the north by those small tribes that have been beaten up is also an inconsequential matter for Lao Cao, and he doesn't bother to take care of it, as long as he leaves some reliable people to control it, don't let those small tribes make any big noise. Why was Tian Chou able to stay quietly in Youbeiping for a few years? Isn't it because of Lao Cao's meaning in it?

And then several years passed, and the small tribes that had been scattered and disrupted at the beginning were finally able to recover somewhat, but they still did not form a large-scale, unified group. But on the other hand, when they regrouped into a large group, Lao Cao should send troops over to break them up again. In fact, around the twenty years of the original history of Jian'an, the Karasuma tribes were indeed united again, but they were leveled by Cao Zhang, the yellow beard of Lao Cao.

There is so much, which is nothing more than one thing, that is, at the end of the seventeenth and eighteenth years of Jian'an, these Karasuma tribes have had some signs again, so in the past two years, the looting of the Youbeiping area has become more and more frequent. And now this area is because there is a field chou here to town, at first the raiding rangers of the Karasuma tribe did not dare to come. But now that they have finally taken action against Tian Chou's men and horses, what does this mean?

Tian Chou has been in the north for a long time and can be said to be well aware of these situations, so Tian Chou has a little worry in his heart. It is true that Tian Chou can write a letter to Lao Cao and ask Lao Cao to send some additional troops to attack the Huqi tribe, but Tian Chou also deeply understands that Lao Cao is unlikely to pay much attention to the current situation, after all, Lao Cao's main focus is on Liu Bei and Sun Quan, how can he pay too much attention to the affairs of Youbeiping?

The goods are being recounted and loaded, and the bodies of the soldiers who died in the war are also being cleaned and transported, ready to be taken back for burial. Looking at the bloodstains left on the battlefield that had been frozen into ice, Tian Chou was thinking about something in his heart......

――――――――――――――――――――

The situation in the north is not very peaceful; Lao Cao and Sun Quan in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are fighting a big battle; Liu Bei in Shuzhong is playing with his heart...... All in all, it's not very good. But only in Yizhou at this time, it was a quiet and peaceful scene, singing and dancing.

It's really singing and dancing, because at this moment in the Mangjia Center Gymnasium...... It's called the Central Gymnasium, and Lu Ren doesn't bother to fix the messy names. Anyway, in the gymnasium at this time, Lu Lan's Spring Festival concert is in full swing.

Although it is named Lu Lan, it is actually the nature of many people joining forces. Yizhou has been developing for so many years, and it has received a lot of fresh blood at all levels, and the entertainment industry is naturally no exception. So now Lu Lan is certainly the one who takes the lead, but there will also be many other artists performing on stage. Of course, in terms of popularity or something, there is still no one who can compete with Lu Lan. Today's Lu Lan has already surpassed Shirley and become the first goddess in the hearts of the people of Yizhou.

In the VIP seat, Lu Ren just raised his glass, because he was not interested in the program performed on the stage now, and then he took a sip of wine and said to Xu Shu and Shi Tao in the seat: "Yuanzhi, Guangyuan, there has been no problem in the first line of Quanzhou in the past few years, so there is nothing else, but there is one thing I want to explain." Guangyuan, from now on, cut off business and trade with Uncle Liu Huang. Also, increase the absorption of immigrants in the Jingxiang area, but all the people who have moved over from Jingxiang can directly send them to Yi, Quan, and Guangzhou! However, it should be noted in the investigation of these people, you and I don't want Guangzhou to lose. ”

Xu Shu and Shi Tao were startled at the same time, and Xu Shu hurriedly asked, "Why is my brother like this?" Business and trade with Uncle Liu Huang has always been the main business profit, like more than 40% last year......"

Lu Ren shook his head and said, "You can't blame me, you have to blame Uncle Liu Huang for missing the appointment again." Last time, several of the caravans we sent over were inexplicably gone, and in our contract, Uncle Liu Huang had the obligation to protect our caravan, and now that something like this has happened, he can't give us an explanation. ”

Xu Shu frowned and said, "But brother, this matter is obviously ......"

Lu Ren waved his hand: "I know, if something like this happens, it is probably because Zhou Yu stumbled inside." But Yuan Zhi, there is intrigue between them, don't let us suffer losses! Wouldn't Kong Ming understand that I could see these things? He clearly wants me to have another bad relationship with Sun Quan, okay?

"So Yuan Zhi, although I don't want to have too much trouble with Uncle Liu Huang, it doesn't mean that I have to bear these messy losses, it's up to you. But you remember, it's just a scare to decide something, if Uncle Liu Huang comes to buy military supplies or something, you add fifty percent of the price to me. ”

Xu Shu smiled dumbly and said, "Isn't this too ruthless?" If you add 50 percent, it's frighteningly expensive. ”

Lu Renxin said that how can I be ruthless with Liu Bei? Shaking his head and laughing: "No matter how expensive it is, it's cheaper than elsewhere in the Central Plains, right?" The most important thing is that Uncle Liu Huang may not be able to buy it elsewhere, and even if he can buy it, the transportation cost will scare him to death. To tell you the truth, I just want to teach Uncle Huang a lesson, don't take me as a big boss in the future. He wanted to use this kind of thing to transfer my hatred to Sun Quan again, and I let him understand that I, Lu Ren, am not a fool. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

Since it was Lu Ren's intentional operation, the news quickly spread to Gangneung. At this moment, although Jiangling was in the midst of spring, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong shook their heads in Jiangling City.

"I really didn't expect Lu Ren to do such a move, and in a fit of anger, he actually cut off the mutual market contact with the lord, and let Jing Xiang's huge profits not be...... Alas, I always thought he was a mercenary, but now it seems that we look down on him. ”

Pang Tong shook the wine bottle in his hand that was almost bottoming out, and his expression looked a little unnatural: "It's all your bad idea!" As soon as the news came out, prices in Jingzhou rose rapidly, and I wanted to buy a few more bottles of wine to drink. ”

Zhuge Liang smiled bitterly: "My idea? Don't you have a share? ”

Pang Tong sighed: "Alas, this person really can't see through what he thinks in his heart. Kong Ming, you can bear the burden of the lord's army accumulating grass and storing grain, and this is directly related to the lord's plan to enter Sichuan, if you don't want to solve it, the lord's plan will inevitably be blocked. ”

Zhuge Liang's fan didn't shake anymore, and he gently put it on the table and sighed: "I remember that when I was studying, I had the idea that the country must not be without business, but it is not until today that I have realized in Lu Ren's body how much the development of the country will be restricted once the business is lost." It is no wonder that Cao Cao clearly hated Lu Ren, but he always refused to cut off business contacts with Lu Ren...... In the past few days, I have calculated that if I want to save enough money, food, and military supplies for the money and military supplies needed to get Sichuan with the existing Jingxiang territory of the lord alone, it will take at least three years or more. Especially the minions of the army, such as knives, guns, weapons and staffs, the cost of using them is even more terrifying. And if we buy it from Lu Ren, it will be completed in a year at most......

"Now we may be able to rely on our old relationship with Guangyuan to secretly buy some from Guangyuan, but the extra money spent is not a small amount, and Guangyuan cannot supply it to the lord in large quantities. The most terrible thing is what you just said, now that prices are rising in the entire Jingxiang area, although the people will not be miserable if they continue like this, they will lose their former wealth, and the people's will will change if it is delayed.
