Chapter 365: Zhen Asks for Help
Shang Ji talked with Zhang Hepan for a while, pulling in some feelings, and soon it was getting late. Because he was going out to fight, he didn't do anything like a welcome banquet, Shang Ji simply appointed Zhang He as a captain, but he was a captain without soldiers.
After all, all the troops who went out this time were special troops, and the combat power of the special arms of the original owner who broke away would definitely decline, so Shang Ji would leave Zhang He by his side first, and of course the staff officer or deputy general would use it.
As for Zhang He's exclusive special troops, although the Phantom Pawn of the Hundred Battles is powerful, he obviously has no time or conditions to train at present, so he can only wait until the war is over.
After settling Zhang He, he was already in the treetops of the moon, and the merchant moved his body and returned to his big tent.
I just returned to the account and was about to rest, but there was a notice that someone asked to see me.
"Who wants to see me?"
Shang Ji had to get up again and ask the guards who had come to pass the word.
"The lord of the house, who claims to be a person from the Wuji Zhen family, surnamed Li Mingcai, has the same old words as the lord!"
"Li Cai, what is he doing here," Shang Ji frowned when he heard this. Of course, Li Cai remembers, after all, he still owes others a loan of five million, but even if he collects debts, he can't go here to collect debts
After thinking about it for a while, Shang Ji's heart moved, and a treacherous smile appeared on his face unconsciously, and he said to himself: "This Li Cai is really the God of Wealth!" ”
"Go, please come in our God of Wealth!"
Shang Ji restrained his mood, put on an enthusiastic expression on his face, and said to the guards.
Although the guards looked inexplicable, they still faithfully carried out Shang Ji's orders, and hurriedly went out to invite Li Cai in.
"General! Help, General! ”
As soon as Li Cai came in, he fell to his knees without saying a word, and shouted with his head buried in his head.
"Alas, what is the matter with Shopkeeper Li, get up quickly!" Shang Ji got up and asked with a surprised expression.
"Please have mercy on the general, for the sake of our past friendship with my Zhen family, save our lives!" Li Cai didn't get up either, and continued to kneel and bow.
Shang Ji knew it in his heart, and it could be regarded as confirming the guess in his heart.
"Shopkeeper Li is serious, what's going on, please ask Shopkeeper Li to get up and talk about it!" As he spoke, Shang Ji picked up Li Cai on the ground.
Li Cai got up and looked up, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was full of pleading.
Shang Ji was shocked, this Zhen's trouble must be not small, otherwise this Li Cai would not be like this.
In the past, Li Cai's attitude towards Shang Ji was also quite humble, but this humility was a kind of ceremonial humility, and Li Cai was still very proud or looked down on Shang Ji as a "martial artist" in his bones.
If it weren't for the fact that he was forced to do nothing, I'm afraid he wouldn't have begged for business like this.
"What's going on with your business, why do you make Shopkeeper Li so sad" Although Shang Ji already had some guesses in his heart, it was better to ask in person.
"General, please help the general!"
Li Cai bowed down and quickly explained the ins and outs of the matter to Shang Ji.
The specific content is similar to what Shang Ji thought, and the culprit is still the Yellow Turban Army.
Zhen's location is in Wuji County, and Wuji County happens to be in Jizhou. Although it is not the most powerful Julu County of the Yellow Turban Army, it is only a line away from Julu.
And the Yellow Turban Army obviously would not turn a blind eye to a world-famous wealthy businessman, and sent a fairly strong army to attack Wuji County.
However, Wuji County, as the base camp of the Zhen family, is naturally not given in vain, with the strong strength of the Zhen family, the Yellow Turban Army will not be able to break through Wuji County for a while.
However, in the final analysis, the Zhen family is just a chaebol, although it has a deep heritage and intertwined relations in the imperial court, but the actual combat power is not satisfactory. As for the relationship and power in the past, even Liu Hong is panicked now, and those powers are still useless.
In the face of the frantic attack of the Yellow Turban Army, the Zhen family was also in turmoil for a while.
And now that Shang Ji is in the limelight, the fierce general with a brilliant record has naturally become Zhen's lifeline, and this is why Li Cai asked for help.
"Please have mercy on the general and save my people!" After Li Cai finished speaking, he fell to his knees with a puff.
"Oh, shopkeeper Li, please get up!" Shang Ji helped Li Cai up, and then looked embarrassed: "I heard that it is not extremely difficult, I will be eager to go to the rescue with my wings, but Your Majesty has a decree, so that I will go to Handan to support Lu Gong immediately, I ......"
"It's okay, we can ask Your Majesty for an order and ask Your Majesty to forgive the general for some time!" Without waiting for Shang Ji to finish speaking, Li Cai preemptively said.
Shang Ji's face suddenly darkened, and he secretly scolded this Li Cai for not having eyesight.
In the past, looking at this Li Cai, he also understood the sophistication of human feelings, why am I so dull today, what I lack is that time, I want a reward!
It's no good, just rely on your words, I'll take the army to the rescue, please, our relationship is not so close!
Seeing Shang Ji's unhappy face, Li Cai finally reacted, patted his head, and hurriedly said: "The general has been tired all the way, leading a hundred elite soldiers to clean up the treacherous, I don't need to be deeply admired by the Zhen family, and I have a special gift, so I should be working for the general!" ”
As he spoke, Li Cai hurriedly took out a thick golden ticket, and the one on the top was written "50,000" two buckets of gold.
Half an inch later, the golden ticket is estimated to be five million.
Shang Ji didn't answer, and glanced at Li Cai lightly. It's just five million gold, and now the merchant really doesn't care much, not to mention the huge amount of money left by Helian before, the harvest in the past few days alone is almost this amount.
If this is the sincerity of Zhen's request for help, then please ask Zhen to die with hundreds of millions of family fortunes!
Li Cai was so shrewd, he knew what was going on as soon as he saw Shang Ji's expression, and hurriedly explained: "The general misunderstood, this is a little bit of the mind of the contemptuous businessman, which can be regarded as a consolation for the general's bloody battle for the country." In any case, this mere gift is still to be accepted by the general. Oh, by the way, the general also borrowed five million gold, right, this money is also exempt, as long as the general leads the army to Wuji for a trip, there will be a lot of thanks! ”
Li Cai bit the word thank you very hard, obviously hinting to Shang Ji that this "heavy thanks" is really heavy!
According to the standard of 10 million is a meeting gift, this heavy thank you cannot be less than 50 million, otherwise this is not a slap in the face of Zhen's family, and even this reward is likely to exceed 100 million!
Shang Ji listened to Li Cai's explanation, his face looked a little better, and he stretched out his hand to take the golden ticket.
Li Cai saw that Shang Ji had accepted the gift, and his heart was immediately overjoyed, and he was afraid that the chips would not be enough, so he hurriedly added: "As long as the general can lead the army to Wuji and wipe out the moth thieves, my Zhen family can provide a loan of 300 million yuan to help the general develop Liaodong and escort the general in the DPRK." ”
"Shopkeeper Li said with a smile, this will be the emperor's grace, how can you see that the Yellow Turban thieves are raging and indifferent, it is getting late today, and I will discuss with the soldiers early tomorrow morning to go to Wuji to expel the Yellow Turban!"
"General Hong En, my Zhen will never forget!" Li Cai was overjoyed, fell to his knees again, and shouted loudly.
Shang Ji just smiled, but he didn't take his words lightly. It's okay to listen to this kind of thing, but if it is, it would be ridiculous.
