Chapter 857: Han Tuo's Request
"The other party said that he was in the Blackwater Army, what is his identity?"
After Su Peng laughed, he asked his subordinates.
"The other party didn't say it, but looking at the appearance, it should not be low, the people around him are very respectful to him, and his subordinates feel that that kind of respect is respect from the heart, so his subordinates judge that the other party is a person with real skills and respected by people, and his subordinates judge according to the information they know, it should be the new commander of the Blackwater Army."
Su Peng's subordinates said to him.
"Oh?" When Su Peng heard this, he was a little surprised by the meticulousness of his subordinate, Su Peng glanced at him and said, "What's your name?" ”
"Subordinate Ma Yong."
When Su Peng's subordinate heard this, he was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Ma Yong...... I remember, your name is not honest, although the name is 'mediocre', but. You don't look like a mediocre person, in this way, after returning to Liangzhou, you follow Guo Lei to do things for a period of time, if you can be appointed, I am promoting you. You go down first and bring the people of the Suzhou Black Water Army. ”
"Thank you, Lord!"
This third-class guest named Ma Yong was suddenly overjoyed, he tried his best to perform, in order not to get ahead?
Ma Yong's cultivation is very good, although he is ecstatic, he is not at a loss, he salutes Su Peng, and goes down to bring people.
The rest of the third- and fourth-class guests, seeing that Su Peng had pointed out a clear path for Ma Yong, were also envious in their hearts, this Ma Yong had come out so quickly.
Of course, this is also the benefit of serving the Lord closely, and the Lord can quickly find out what you are capable of by the Lord's side, and then promote you.
Although there is no allusion to Mao Sui's self-recommendation in this world, the reason is the same, and if you put a pair of stones in your pocket, you naturally can't see anything. But if you have an awl, immediately your sharpness, will puncture the pocket and let people find out.
When those third- and fourth-class guests saw Ma Yong as an example, they also held their breath in their hearts, wanting to show their abilities in front of Su Peng.
The psychology of these guests is not mentioned for the time being, and Ma Yong, who went down, quickly brought a few people.
When Su Peng saw the people brought by Ma Yong, he couldn't help but smile on his face, and he stood up. He said to the visitor: "Commander Han, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really didn't expect that when we gather again, we will be here." ”
As he spoke, Su Peng arched his hand to the man.
There was also a smile on the capable face of the person who came, and said: "When I first heard your name on the rivers and lakes, I thought it was someone with the same name and surname, but later I knew it in more detail." I dare to confirm, Su Sacrifice Wine, you have been hiding it from me for a long time. ”
I saw that the person who came was Su Peng's old acquaintance. Han Tuo!
Su Peng laughed, and then invited Han Tuo to sit down.
Han Tuo didn't lose his courtesy, returned the salute, and waited for Su Peng to sit down. He sat down according to the guest's understanding.
When Su Peng saw this, he couldn't help but secretly praise Han Tuo's sophistication.
Su Peng got up to greet Han Tuo just now, but in fact, etiquette was unnecessary. It's just that because Su Peng once did something under Han Tuo, Su Peng greeted the other party, which can be regarded as fulfilling the meaning of his previous subordinates.
It's just that Su Peng's identity is different now, and respecting Han Tuo is also a courtesy, but it's not really lower than Han Tuo's status, and the previous subordination relationship has been leveled under this respect.
If Han Tuo didn't know the depths, and he really thought he was Su Peng's chief, then Su Peng had a way to make Han Tuo recognize the current situation.
Han Tuo's shrewdness lies in the fact that he understands the world too well, Su Peng let him go, and he also accepted this blow, and next, he sat down according to the number of hosts and guests who interacted with him on an equal footing, which showed that he understood that Su Peng's identity was different from the past, and he did not take out the shelf that he was Su Peng's former chief.
In this way, the two sides have the basis to sit down and talk, if he still thinks that he is higher than Su Peng, then Su Peng can only send off guests.
As for Su Peng's martial arts, as long as Han Tuo was not a fool, he had already guessed that what Su Peng said back then was not the truth, and the real situation was that Su Peng was likely to be included in the door wall by Zixiamen, so he had today's martial arts attainments.
But these are no longer important to the two of them today.
After the guests and hosts of both sides sat down, Su Peng asked Han Tuo: "Didn't Commander Han lead the troops in Suzhou?" It is said that the Black Water Army has developed well in Suzhou, and Commander Han is not in Jiangning, but he came to participate in the Star Meeting here, so it is really so attractive here. ”
When Han Tuo heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I can't do it if I don't come...... The Blackwater Army seems to be developing smoothly, but in fact it is in a bottleneck, and I am here to find out if there are some strong reinforcements. ”
"Oh? I don't know much about the situation in Suzhou, so I would like to ask Commander Han to elaborate. ”
Su Peng said to Han Tuo.
Han Tuo nodded and said: "It's not a secret, the development of the Blackwater Army in Suzhou is very good, not only captured Suyang City controlled by the Kongtong faction, but also basically unified the entire territory of Suzhou, and is expanding outward, but the problem is also here, the momentum of the Blackwater Army is ...... It's too fierce. ”
"Because the momentum of the Blackwater Army is too strong, the surrounding states have strengthened their vigilance against Suzhou."
"Su Saijiu should know that the ordnance and armor of the Blackwater Army are basically made by themselves, so the armament has never been very demanding...... However, there are few mines in Suzhou, and there are only a handful of ore veins, which are not enough for Suzhou to use itself, and must be purchased from other states. ”
"Originally, the Five Cities Alliance in Ganzhou has always had caravans to provide iron ore, copper ore and other ores to the Blackwater Army, and the minerals in Suzhou have been supplied by the Five Cities Alliance, which is not a shortage, but since I unified Suzhou, Long Shaoyang of Ganzhou has been on guard against my Blackwater Army, restrained the people of Ganzhou, and no longer provided ore to Suzhou, and my Blackwater Army is expanding the army, whether it is ordnance or armor and vest, it is the bulk of steel consumption, we can't find ore at all, and we are at a loss."
"As for the strong attack on Ganzhou, it is difficult for us to do it, the combat power of the Heishui Army, the strongest lies in horse warfare, not good at attacking the city, and from Suzhou to Ganzhou, we have to walk through a very long mountain road, we are not familiar with there, and the mountains and forests are easy to be ambushed, and there is no supply line, so we cannot attack Ganzhou in a short time...... Now because of the ordnance, we have been in a predicament, almost trapped in Suzhou without any progress, plus the people of the Kongtong faction continue to make trouble for us, and we will not be able to exterminate the Kongtong faction for a while, so the entire Blackwater Army is in a predicament, and I am almost sad and white-headed. ”
"But it wasn't that long ago. A group of people came to Jiangning County, claiming to be from Liangzhou, they had some contact with me, saying that they wanted to open up the trade route between Liangzhou and Suzhou, I inquired, it seemed to be Su Saijiu's subordinates, I suddenly thought that since Liangzhou discovered the demon world, a lot of mines have been discovered, and Liangzhou is close to the inland sea. It is possible to bypass some places by waterway and enter the waterway, so that the channel for the delivery of supplies to Suzhou can be opened. ”
"The Suzhou Navy also has a certain scale, but it is just some powerful people along the river, and they don't want to see us Suzhou sitting big, and often harass our merchant ships, but our Black Navy takes the initiative to attack. They didn't dare to make a mistake, and with the prestige of Su sacrifice wine, they didn't dare to act rashly, so they could let the Liangzhou ship go to my Suzhou. I had this idea. I can't sit still anymore, I have asked Su Saijiu's subordinates to communicate with you, but they said that Su Saijiu came to participate in the Stars Meeting, and it happened that my father-in-law also received an invitation. So I came for my father-in-law. ”
Han Tuo told all the causes and consequences in one go.
The father-in-law in his mouth is actually his real father Mo Tianqing.
Su Peng listened to Han Tuo's words and understood what had happened. Count it in your heart.
Liangzhou itself does not have a lot of ore, but it is enough for its own use, but it has opened up the demon world, and the resources have been enriched.
Copper and iron ore, Su Peng really has a lot, and it was handed over to the rice merchant Liang family for mining.
Han Tuo has such a low profile today, just to get Su Peng.
Su Peng himself has no intention of not selling the ore to the other party, Suzhou has no threat to him for the time being, and it doesn't matter if he sells the ore to the other party.
Su Peng thought about how to say the law to achieve his goal.
After thinking about it, Su Peng said to Han Tuo: "I received a message from my subordinates before, it is said that they have just arrived in Suzhou, and they have clashed with a local force? ”
Han Tuo nodded and said to Su Peng: "It is an organization called Sun Moon Hall, at the beginning, the people of Sun Moon Hall thought that Su Saijiu's subordinates were begging for food on the rivers and lakes, and they ate it, so they sent a master to attack Su Saijiu's subordinates, and I heard that a few people died." ”
Su Peng bowed his head and said: "Actually, the person who died is more important, it is the younger brother of one of my important subordinates, I have been sending this subordinate to be responsible for commercial and internal affairs, and at the same time responsible for foreign trade, now that his brother is dead, I need to calm his heart." ”
"Su sacrificial sake means ......"
Han Tuo looked at Su Peng and said to him.
"The matter of the Sun Moon Hall, Commander Han, please take care of it, if my subordinates have a conflict with them, please ask Commander Han to help."
Su Peng said.
Han Tuo listened to it and felt that it was not a big deal, although he had some meaning to Ning Cai of Sun Moon Hall, but it was also in the spirit of taking a concubine, and he used Ning Cai to subdue the gang forces of Jiangning County, but Ning Cai was not the helmsman of Sun Moon Hall, Han Tuo also knew that if someone attacked Sun Moon Hall at this time, he would also be happy to see it, so that it would be easier to accept it in the future.
"I understand, if it's just this thing, I know what to do, Su Saijiu can rest assured."
Han Tuo said to Su Peng.
Hearing Han Tuo say this, Su Peng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was calm and light on the surface, but he actually cared about the affairs of Jiangning County.
Cracking down on and weakening the Sun Moon Hall is Su Peng's established policy.
"In this way, I don't have anything else to ask for, the only thing is to ask Commander Han to make a gesture of feint attack on the Ganzhou Five Cities Alliance, so as to reduce some of the military pressure on our Liangzhou."
Su Peng finally said, in fact, Su Peng didn't particularly need this request, but just released it to disturb people's eyes.
"It should be."
Han Tuo said, Su Peng smiled, and said to Han Tuo: "In this way, even if we reach an alliance intention, the specific matters will be discussed by the people in charge of this under our two sides." ”
Han Tuo nodded, he stood up and said: "Thank you Su Sacrifice Wine, that's good, it's not early today, I won't disturb Su Sacrifice Wine to rest, these days, let my subordinates talk in detail, and I will leave first." ”
"Commander Han is at will." Su Peng nodded, Han Tuo nodded slightly to Su Peng, and left with his subordinates.
Su Peng, who was left, narrowed his eyes...... (To be continued......)
