This was Luo Sha's first time making a deal with the rebels. It was impossible to say that he wasn't nervous.
But then I thought about it, Zhao Ting was not afraid, which meant that the other party was different from ordinary rebels.
After thinking about this, Luo Sha pretended to be displeased and yelled at his subordinates: "Hurry up and put down your weapons, we are all our own."
Hearing this, the Zhenhai soldiers immediately lowered their swords and breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though there were so many of them, if they really fought, the twenty cavalrymen on the opposite side would be able to overwhelm them with just one charge.
Once the formation was broken up, the infantry faced the cavalry and became lambs to be slaughtered.
Seeing this, Han Zhen also waved his hand.
The cavalrymen sheathed their swords one after another.
Liu Qi, on the other hand, curled his lips, seeming a little regretful that he didn't start a fight.
For a time, the tense atmosphere dissipated.
Han Zhen smiled slightly and invited: "I have prepared some thin wine to help Commander Luo wash away the dust. I wonder if I can give him a favor?"
"The county magistrate is too polite."
A smile suddenly appeared on Luo Sha's face.
Sure enough, just as he had guessed, these were not ordinary rebels.
After getting on their horses, accompanied by Wang He, the two mounted their horses and came to Han Zhen's side.
"Commander Luo, please!"
"The county magistrate also invites you."
Luo Sha didn't dare to trust him.
The two men walked in front with their horses, followed by the cavalry, and the soldiers of the town navy followed behind pushing the wooden cart.
Han Zhen said with a faint smile, "I didn't expect that Commander Luo would come in person this time."
Hearing the implication of Han Zhen's words, Luo Sharuo pointed out: "I'm really worried about going to such an important matter without asking."
"That's how it should be!"
Han Zhen nodded.
Turning his head to look at the cavalry behind him, Luo Sha said calmly: "I have observed that the county magistrate's soldiers are all brave and strong. They are truly a division of tigers and wolves."
Han Zhen said modestly: "Commander Luo has already said that they are just brave farmers from the countryside."
"hehe!"
Luo Sha smiled.
farmer?
If these soldiers are farmers, then who are the soldiers who control the navy and the armed guards?
Beggar?
At this time, Liu Qi already knew the purpose of these Zhenhai navy's coming here, and looked strange.
How brave he is, even daring to resell ordnance!
Seemingly aware of Liu Qi's gaze, Luo Sha asked curiously: "Does this young gentleman recognize me?"
"Commander Luo, please don't mind. He is used to having an eccentric temperament, and his status is a bit special. It's not easy for me to discipline him." At the end of his sentence, Han Zhen looked embarrassed.
"oh?"
Luo Sha suddenly became interested and lowered his voice and asked, "But I don't know where it comes from?"
"Commander Luo must know his father, he is Liu Zhongwu."
"The military governor of Luchuan?"
Luo Sha took a breath of cold air, his eyes filled with horror.
Although they are both military attaches, their status is very different.
He, the commander of the navy, horse and foot command, is only a fifth-rank official.
But Liu Zhongwu was a dignified second-rank man. He promoted Mingdao Palace and commanded the elite Western Army of the Forbidden Army. He had also served as the magistrate of Xizhou before and was the mainstay of the military generals group. There was no way he could compare.
How could Luo Sha not be shocked when Liu Zhongwu's youngest son appeared among the rebels?
I saw his eyes flashing for a while, and his mind began to think wildly.
After a while, Luo Sha suppressed his surging thoughts and said with a smile: "When I took a first look at it just now, I felt that it was extraordinary. It turned out to be Xiaoyanei. It is true that the father of a tiger has no son."
He didn't doubt that Han Zhen would lie to him, because it was completely unnecessary.
If he hadn't brought it up on his own initiative, Han Zhen probably wouldn't have said it.
At this moment, Luo Sha felt that the group of people in front of him were probably not just rebels.
But the more this happened, the happier he became.
This shows that I will make a lot of money next time!
The two chatted along the way and soon passed by the military camp.
Hearing the shouts of killing coming from the military camp, Luo Sha couldn't help but swallowed, and his heart trembled slightly.
At this time, Han Zhen suggested: "Commander Luo, how about putting the weapons in the military camp first?"
"So good!"
Luo Sha nodded in agreement.
Han Zhen shouted: "Liu Qi!"
"The general is here!"
Liu Qi immediately stepped forward on his horse and responded with cupped fists.
Han Zhen ordered: "Send the weapons to the military camp and place the brothers who are guarding the navy."
"Got the order!"
On the other side, Wang He was also instructing his men: "When you enter the military camp, you must be more honest and don't cause trouble. Otherwise, if something happens, I and Commander Luo will not be able to protect you."
"It will be saved in the end."
The instructor nodded hurriedly.
With the combat power displayed by these cavalry, how could they dare to cause trouble.
Seeing the long motorcade entering the military camp, Han Zhen smiled and said: "Commander Luo, please."
After the three of them entered the county town on horseback, they went straight to Cuibo Restaurant.
…
In a gorgeously decorated room, Luo Sha and Wang He were each soaking in a wooden barrel.
Four beauties in gauze were waiting on the side.
The slender white hands kneaded the shoulders for a while. Both the strength and technique were just right.
Luo Sha leaned his head on the soft couch on the edge of the barrel, closed his eyes, and had a look of enjoyment on his face.
At this moment, Wang He said: "You go out first."
Hearing this, the four women stopped what they were doing, stood up and went out.
After the door was closed again, Wang He lowered his voice and said, "Commander Luo, what is the origin of this man named Han?"
From the moment he saw the group of cavalry, many questions arose in his mind.
But I never had the chance to ask, and now I couldn't help it anymore.
"I can't even see through it."
Luo Sha opened his eyes and looked solemn.
How to describe the feeling Han Zhen gave him?
Be patient and fearless!
Yes, even if he had no fear, he still dared to call himself Commander of the Qingzhou Army and County Magistrate of Linzi when facing him, the commander of the town and navy.
He was not taken seriously as a court official at all.
Wang He asked again: "Is Liu Qi really the son of Xianggong Liu?"
"Who knows, but it may be true."
Luo Sha said, picking up a peeled grape and putting it into his mouth.
puff!
Spitting out the grape seeds, he glanced sideways at Wang He and said sternly: "Don't worry about these things. There are some things that we can't get involved with. Whether Han Zhen is a traitor or what his plans are has nothing to do with us. Remember. Are you staying?"
"The humble position has been recorded!"
Wang He felt a chill in his heart and quickly replied.
"Okay, don't make people wait too long."
Luo Sha said, calling the four women back in to help him dress.
…
In the private room, Han Zhen sat alone by the window and ate watermelon.
The light yellow melon flesh is dotted with red watermelon seeds.
To be honest, the watermelon at the moment is not delicious, it is bland and tasteless, and there are too many watermelon seeds.
The key is that this stuff hurts the land, and few farmers are willing to grow it, resulting in scarcity and high prices.
Wen Tianxiang once wrote in "Ode to Watermelon": Pull out the golden sword and smash the green jade bottle. Thousand points of red cherries, a ball of citrine.
After eating a piece, Han Zhen never touched the watermelon again.
At this moment, the door of the room was opened, and Luo Sha and Wang He, who had washed away their dusty clothes, stepped into the private room with a big smile.
Luo Sha complained: "I have made Han County wait for a long time."
"Where is Commander Luo?"
Han Zhen smiled slightly and said to Dr. Jiu: "It's time to serve."
Soon, plates of dishes were brought into the private room.
When the food and drinks were served, the girls from the brothel next door also came.
Those who play the harp play the harp, those who play the flute, and those who sing and dance.
Han Zhen picked up the wine glass and said, "Commander Luo, you've been working hard all the way. Thank you for your hard work. I'd like to toast you."
Luo Sha quickly raised his glass: "Haha, I would also like to thank County Magistrate Han for the hospitality and drinking together."
After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere immediately became lively.
Luo Sha and Wang He were both warriors, and their words and deeds were not as elegant as Liu Mi's.
Especially after Wang He told a few dirty jokes, the atmosphere at the wine table was pushed to a climax.
For a while, there was a lot of excitement among people drinking and drinking, changing cups and cups.
After three rounds of drinking, Luo Sha's eyes were filled with a hint of drunkenness. He held his sister in his arms and vomited bitterly: "Brother Han, don't forget that I am the commander of the Mabu Command of the Zhenjun Navy, but in front of those civil servants, even a person It's nothing. Two years ago, Zhang Shuye wanted to reorganize the Shizi Army. He found out that I was living on empty wages, so he beheaded the deputy commander on the spot."
"You don't know, I was so scared that my legs were weak. My brother wasn't joking, my legs were really weak. I was afraid that Zhang Shuye would chop me off together with him."
Han Zhen shook his head and laughed and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The status of warriors is low, and it is no longer a day or two. Even Di Qing has to grovel in front of Han Qi and others, calling himself a lackey!"
Luo Sha slammed the table hard and said angrily: "Damn it, there's no one in the army who doesn't get free pay. Even the Western Army on Qinfeng Road still eats free pay and drinks the blood of soldiers. None of these civil servants He's so greedy that he's so greedy, we're so miserable, and if we get a little bit of free money, we're going to take action."
"That's the truth."
Han Zhen nodded in agreement.
"Brother, it's really hard. Xiang Jun was born from a concubine, and the imperial government only allocates a small amount every year. I work hard to get nothing, but in the end I only get 7,000 to 8,000 guan a year. With such a small amount of money, I still have to pay for it. It needs to be managed up and down, and if it falls into my own hands, it will be less than three thousand strings."
After having a cup of tea with the sister in his arms, Luo Sha continued with a pair of drunken eyes: "Brother, if there is any way to make a fortune, please take care of me."
After laying the groundwork for so long, I finally got to the point.
Han Zhen took a sip of his wine and said with a smile, "There really is a way."
Uh-huh!
For a moment, a light flashed in Luo Sha's eyes.
Pushing away the sister next to him, he ordered: "Wait and get out first!"
"Slave, please retire."
Several women bowed and then filed out.
After all the sisters had gone out, Luo Sha hurriedly asked: "The connections my brother mentioned are for ordnance?"
"Yes and no."
Han Zhen said calmly.
Luo Sha looked puzzled: "How do you say this?"
"After this trip, I have no shortage of ordinary ordnance."
At present, the hydraulic forging workshop is about to be built. Once the construction starts, as long as the supply of pig iron increases, armored weapons will be continuously produced.
In addition to the ordnance purchased on this trip, he already has no shortage of ordinary armored swords and guns.
Luo Sha immediately heard the implication of his words and said seriously: "I wonder what brother wants?"
Han Zhen didn't speak. He dipped his fingers into the glass of wine and slowly wrote a line of words on the table.
Luo Sha and Wang He both looked over.
At one glance, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
On the table, it was clearly written: war horse, foot armor, three-bow bed crossbow, divine arm crossbow!
