The news that the Wei family once again sent troops to the north cannot be hidden from the investigation of interested people.
Especially some people with grudges. On the one hand, these people are jealous of the growth of the Wei family, and on the other hand, they are trying their best to win over the Wei family.
Just like the Wang family in Taiyuan, they are both members of the Hedong family. The Wang family is now in Luoyang, but there are also clan members stationed on the Hedong side.
Wang Qian, also known as Changwen, is the brother of the Wang Yun clan, and is also the face-to-face talker and person in charge of the Wang clan in Taiyuan.
Wang Qian is jealous and will retaliate for his harsh actions, and as a member of the Wang family in Taiyuan, he also has this strength.
But just three months ago, Wang Qian kicked the iron plate, and this matter had to start with Liu Biao's wife, Mrs. Cai.
At that time, Mrs. Cai brought Liu Cong for a blind date. Wang Qian was very satisfied with Liu Cong and planned to marry his daughter to Liu Cong.
Fortunately, Liu Cong was killed, which directly disrupted his next plan. Wang Qian was dissatisfied with Wang Yun for a long time, and wanted to use the Liu family to secure his status as the elder of the Wang clan in Taiyuan, and took the opportunity to plan for the position of leader of the Wang Yun clan.
But someone didn't give him face and killed his prospective son-in-law in front of a lot of idiots. This was no different than a slap in the face.
Wang Qian hated the Wei family ever since. In recent days, shocking news has been coming from the Wei family. Wang Qian knew that he was no match for the power of the Wei family, so he endured it.
But sometimes, opportunities come so unexpectedly. Just three days ago. King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu found Wang Qian, and the two talked until midnight and finalized a plan to destroy the Wei family.
In the past three days, Hu businessmen continued to enter the county where Taiyuan is located. Over the years, Hu businessmen have appeared to be extremely tough, and they were even more arrogant and domineering in the face of ordinary people. Those who did not conceal the truth were killed on the spot or handed over to the police. Wang handled it.
Some people may have guessed the identities of these so-called Hu merchants. Yes, these people are actually Huns cavalry in disguise.
In just three days, nearly 50,000 Huns bypassed Wei's eyes and entered Taiyuan, Hedong from the west.
These people are waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity that can overthrow the Wei family in an instant. And today, this opportunity has come.
The Wei family once again sent the city guards on their backs, accompanied by five hundred Longshan troops. In other words, the backbone of the entire Wei family had left, and Anyi County was only defended by three thousand city guards.
As for the city guards who are responsible for patrolling and guarding, King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu has already sent people to investigate, and there is nothing to fear from these people.
Ever since his Qingya tribe was destroyed, King Zuo Xian has been looking for opportunities to fight back. The reason why he captured Yuan Shao's son was all part of his plan.
"Are you sure they are going north?" King Zuo Xian sat at the head of the largest mansion in Taiyuan County with a clear mind.
The person who responded nodded and said: "I'm sure, the 2,500 people have crossed the border of Taihang Mountain and headed for the agreed place." King Zuo Xian was overjoyed when he heard this.
Wang Qian, who was accompanying him next to him, laughed and said: "Okay, okay, what a move to sway the tiger away from the mountain, so you can take Anyi in just a snap." King Zuo Xian of "The First Clan" raised his head proudly, looked at Wang Qian, and said: "As long as there is enough food and grass, Anyi is not a problem. I can even acquire the entire Hedong County for you. You only need Brother Wang to show a certain degree of sincerity." Wang Qian's expression changed slightly. Although he promised to jointly deal with the Wei family, he could not It means that he will definitely betray the nation.
King Zuo Xian is very dangerous, and Wang Qian knows it. Regardless of the young age of this Huns, according to Wang's intelligence, this man had killed two of his own brothers and one younger brother before he could legitimately ascend to the throne. Before that, he had been unknown. .
Wang Qian cupped his hands and said: "This matter needs to be discussed separately with the clan brothers. If you want to take the land of Xiliang, you must first pass Dong Zhuo's test." King Zuo Xian did not force the Wang family to give a positive answer now, He just mentioned it. As for the most important thing now, of course it is to avenge his own people, otherwise he, the majestic Zuoxian King, would be scolded to death in the grassland.
Anyi. Xu Huang led his troops northward. This was the third expedition of the city guards in half a year. They seemed to come every once in a while, and everyone was used to it.
Life still has to go by. Although the families of the City Guards are worried about the safety of their families, they also believe that their children or husbands will be able to come back safely.
"Guan Wei, if we don't pick this batch of cabbage, I'm afraid it will rot in the ground." In the warm vegetable greenhouse, everyone looked at the gratifying growth of the cabbage, and everyone looked happy.
The steward nodded and said, "I'll ask Mr. Tian later. Logically speaking, it's time for the instructions to come out." At this time, a young man ran in from the door.
The young man gasped and said, "Dad, Mr. Tian said that after all the wild rice is picked, he will send someone to clean it, and someone will pick it up later."
"Finally there is news. It seems that this time there are big customers coming to buy. All these rice paddies have been sold. We can also get a lot of food stamps like the radish district, hahaha." The vegetable grower The dealers were all smiling.
When the young man heard this, he directly denied: "No, this time it is not a takeaway. This time the host family wants to collect the cabbage. I heard that it will be made into kimchi and distributed to everyone for consumption in the winter."
"Pickle?"
"Does that mean I can't get food stamps?"
"There is no other way. Since the master wants it, we can only accept it."
"This is too unfair. The Luohe district got food stamps, and the bean sprouts also got it. When it's our turn, the Bean sprouts get nothing..."
"What did you say?" The steward glared. The farmers who complained were all silent. When they came to their senses, they suddenly realized that perhaps because they were living a comfortable life, they began to become arrogant. You must know that they were still farmers of the Wei family. Not to mention food stamps, they could not do anything before. It would be nice to have something to eat.
Seeing this, the young man said with a smile: "You are complaining now. I'm afraid you will regret it after ten days and a half. Although I don't know what this pickle is, but when has the item brought out by the owner been a bargain? Besides, , The second master also said that each household in charge of the villagers in the rice field can get three more cans of kimchi." The villagers looked confused. They really had no idea about kimchi. It didn't look like food stamps or pots and pans. Because they couldn't see the basin, they were not very happy, but now that it was over, they could only accept their fate.
After picking the cabbage, the farmers sent the cabbage to the moat to be cleaned, and then people from the inner city picked it up.
All the cleaned cabbage was sent to the backyard of a restaurant. At this time, Wei B and others in the backyard had been waiting for a long time.
Along with the cabbage, there were pickle jars with unique lids that immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Aunt Niu has already practiced it several times in the house, so she is naturally responsible for teaching the kimchi making technique.
Twenty or so women watched with their eyes open and listened with their ears clear, fearing that they would miss any detail.
Wei B took a can of kimchi that he had made earlier and sat with Tian Feng chatting and laughing. Kimchi accompanies wine, and the more you drink, the better.
Besides, what the two of them drank was sweet wine, which was the kind of alcohol that would make everyone drunk even if the wine was not intoxicating.
"Sir, if this kimchi is managed well, the profit will be no less than that of cloth and ironware." Tian Feng has discovered the value of kimchi.
The seasonings in this era are very simple, and because rich people eat meat all the time, they are particularly fond of food that relieves greasiness and food with strong taste.
Kimchi is not only crisp and sour in the mouth, but also has a vegetable fragrance that can effectively remove the greasiness of meat. Such a miraculous effect is difficult for ordinary fruits and vegetables to do. Especially those princes and nobles will definitely like this novel food. .
On the contrary, those farmers who only eat one meal of meat every three days probably don't appreciate the delicious taste of kimchi. At most, they just treat it as a novelty to taste freshness. In the end, they will still sell it to the merchants who come to buy it.
Therefore, Wei B decided to give them three cans of pickles instead of food stamps as a reward after discussing with Tian Feng.
Both of them had a hunch that kimchi would become an indispensable dish on the nobles' tables. After three rounds of drinking.
Tian Feng looked up at the setting sun in the west, smiled suddenly, and said: "It's almost time to come." Wei B's expression changed, and he also said with a slight smile on his lips: "It's almost the same. This crop of rice is harvested, let the farmers Let’s stay in the city for a few days to avoid unnecessary casualties.”
"Hahaha..." The two of them looked at each other and smiled, which frightened the women washing the pickle jar at the side with confused expressions on their faces.
at the same time. On the vast grassland, a majestic cavalry rushed through abandoned tribes with billowing red dust.
Yuan Shao looked at the Huns tribe with traces of burning along the way in surprise, with a look of surprise on his face. What happened on the grassland?
At this time, Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said: "Then, this tribe is the place where Liu Datou is famous. This boy can marry such a good wife, thanks to this tribe." After hearing this, everyone joked about the red people in the team. The old-faced Liu Datou rescued the scrawny woman here. Later, when he returned to Anyi, the woman married him.
What Liu Datou didn't expect was that his mother-in-law was actually literate and knew how to do business. She respected her parents and elders at home, and earned a lot of money from merchants outside by relying on her ability to read numbers.
This was also thanks to the food stamps given to them by Wei B. Many of the family members of the city guards were illiterate, so Liu Zhang took them to make money together. Everyone got the benefit and believed in her, and with Liu Datou's endorsement, they were not afraid of Liu Zhang. Get food stamps and run away.
Gradually, Mrs. Liu Zhang’s reputation grew. More and more people knew that she had food stamps in her hands. Mrs. Liu’s business grew bigger and bigger. She even opened a grocery store in the satellite city where she was located, specializing in selling food stamps. Some things require food stamps, cloth stamps, and material stamps to buy.
Some merchants who had no connections to get tickets could only buy goods from her at high prices. Some even paid ten to twenty times the price difference for a few pieces of soap.
To everyone's relief, although Liu Zhang made money, he had no intention of leaving Liu Datou. He still served his parents-in-law every day, and evenly distributed the profits to the villagers who provided food stamps, taking everyone with him. Make a fortune together.
For such a good lady, many people envied Liu Datou for finding a treasure and having eight lifetimes of bad luck. Otherwise, why would such a good thing happen to him... Mainly because Mrs. Liu Zhang dressed up a little, and she was still a good lady. A beautiful beauty.
"Liu Datou, you are going to treat us to a drink this time when you go back. You are so stupid. You are so envious of us." When someone heard about these things, they immediately became sour.
Liu Datou was also grand and said with a smile: "It's easy to have a drink. Everyone will go later."
"Look at how proud this bitch is."
"If I had such a good wife, I would treat you to wine and meat."
"Come on, Liu Datou is just unlucky. Didn't you hear that Zhao Da from the next door shop also rescued a woman and went back? Unexpectedly, he just took the money and ran away after staying for a few days."
"Hiss...is there such a thing?"
"That's not true. After all, the women who can be captured are all good-looking, and their family backgrounds are beyond our comparison. Maybe there are their family members somewhere that they can seek refuge with. Unlike Liu Datou's wife, I heard that all her family members are dead..."
"Alas~" Everyone's trip was not like marching to fight, but more like sightseeing and admiring the scenery along the way. They spent more time chatting than being vigilant.
Yuan Shao didn't understand. If a group of people like this weren't wearing the legendary black armor, what else could they do?
Everyone said that Wei's city guards were so powerful. I was accompanying them all the way, but why didn't I notice what was particularly powerful about them?
Yuan Shao shook his head and sighed along the way, feeling regretful for asking for help from the Wei family. The Wei family's powerful army was nothing more than that!
at this time. Dudu! Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment. What happened next was something he didn't expect. I saw that the city guards who were still carefree suddenly became nervous.
From these people, Yuan Shao felt the aura of iron blood for the first time. They were all laughing and joking just now, but now he felt like beasts and birds dormant in the mountains and forests, with a strong threat of breaking out and hurting people at any time. Come.

"Everyone is here, the eight-hundred-mile emergency march begins!" There was no warning, and it didn't allow everyone too much preparation time. If we say a sudden march, we mean a sudden march.
Led by the Longshan Army in the front row, Xu Huang took the lead and turned the horse's head back to the original route. Rumble...the army followed closely behind.
When Yuan Shao saw this, his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly patted his horse to catch up and roared: "Xu Gongming, what are you doing? Why don't you continue going north?" Xu Huang galloped past with his riding whip, glanced at him, and said in a deep voice: "We, the Longshan Army, are acting like this. Why don't we go to the north?" You explain."
"Drive...drive..." Zhang Fei, Hua Kun, Yang Feng, Hao Zhao, and the five hundred Longshan Army ignored Yuan Shao's angry glare and flew past him.
Following closely behind were two thousand city guards. They also turned a blind eye to Yuan Shao's gaze. Even the people who had talked and laughed with Yuan Shao on the road turned a blind eye to him at this time.
No one knew why they suddenly turned around, they just knew they were following orders. Xu Huang, the only one who got the news, had a contemptuous smile on his face. He had been holding back all the way. If the news didn't come out, he would probably kill a few Huns tribes to satisfy his addiction.
"Mr. Xun, is the information correct?" Xu Huang turned around and asked Xun worriedly. Xun touched the object in his arms, and the slight but rhythmic trembling continued. According to the code word taught by Wei B, he confirmed it again, nodded and said: "Yes, it is indeed the code word to come back for support."
"That's good." Xu Huang laughed, his eyes gradually became bloodshot, and his whole person became violent. Xun frowned slightly, feeling that it was necessary to report Xu Huang's occasional madness to Wei B, so as not to spoil things at a critical moment.
