Toyosu
In a pavilion with beautiful scenery somewhere, a charming young woman wearing a white cherry blossom kimono with charming features on her face was sitting on a stone chair opposite a skinny old man wearing a leather jacket and smoking a cigarette pot. above.
If someone who doesn’t know the identity of these two people sees this scene, some doubts may arise in their mind...
I don’t know what this scratching goblin and this dry old man have to talk about.
But if anyone knew the identities of these two people, they would definitely shudder at how far they have gone!
These two people are Kobayakawa Takahide, the president of the Black Dragon Society, and Sanshan, the general manager of Liaoyang Green Forest.
They are all people who treat human life as child's play and kill people without blinking an eye!
Especially in Sanshan Town, there are countless people from Liaoyang who were frightened by their parents when they were children. If you misbehave, Sanshan Town will catch you and eat you!
After smoking a bag of dry cigarettes, Zhen Sanshan knocked the bag pot on the sole of his shoe, then looked at Kobayakawa Takahide in front of him, who was smiling slightly, and said without any emotion:
"you failed·········"
Although Zhensanshan did not refer to anything in particular, Kobayakawa Takahide still understood what he meant, smiled slightly and said softly:
"I didn't expect that Huo Xiaoli would arrange for Tian Zongze to protect Ye Mingsheng personally..."
In response to Kobayakawa Takahide's answer, Zhensanshan said nothing, but quietly looked at the young Japanese woman in front of him.
Under Zhen Sanshan's gaze, Kobayakawa shook his head helplessly and said: "Zheng Sang, three hundred iron cannons will be delivered to the Posu Mansion within half a month..."
Hearing this, Zhen Sanshan nodded and did not pursue the issue further.
Zhensanshan, who is the leader of Liaoyang's green forest, his real name is Zheng, and his first name is Sanshan. Zhensanshan is a homophony of his name. However, after decades of living in Liaoyang, everyone remembers the name Zhensanshan, but few people remember it. The real name of Zhen Sanshan.
Seeing that Zhen Sanshan was satisfied, Kobayakawa Takahide said somewhat meaningfully:
"Zheng Sang, Ye Mingsheng's appointment as the commander-in-chief of Fengzhou will be announced soon..."
Zhen Sanshan didn't speak, his expression remained unchanged, and he couldn't see any changes. He just silently added some more tobacco leaves to the eyebag pot in his hand.
"I know that Zheng Sang has been in Liaoyang for many years. Even Song Wenhui, the governor of Liaoyang who has an army of 100,000, can't do anything to you!"
"But this person Ye Mingsheng cannot be underestimated!"
"Although this man is not very old, he has experienced hundreds of battles in the imperial army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Among them, he became famous during the surprise attack on Liujing in the Battle of Gongdu. He became a senior military attache of the Great Zhou Dynasty in his early twenties. .”
"It has only been a few months since Ye Mingsheng returned to Liaoyang to recruit troops. He recruited the Guo family and his son from Jiukongya. Without a word, the number of troops has reached 7,000."
"What's even more surprising is that this person turned his hands into clouds and rain, and was easily wiped out. Zheng Sang, your brother Wang Sang..."
"An Zhirong and Shen Jianzhong sent this person to Fengzhou. It can be said that they have high hopes for this person!"
Facing Kobayakawa Takahide's praise of Ye Mingsheng, Zhen Sanshan remained silent, took a puff of cigarette, and then slowly said under the haze of gray smoke:
"Just a brat..."
"It was An Zhirong and Shen Jianzhong who pushed him to the front and were using his name to do tricks. They can hide their tricks from Chen Dechang, but they can't hide them from an old man like me!"
Seeing that Zhensanshan was prejudiced against Ye Mingsheng, Kobayakawa Takahide pursed his lips and smiled very reservedly, and said no more.
At this time, Zhen Sanshan seemed to have thought of something, and immediately asked in a deep voice:
"Did Yeluyan agree to An Zhirong's request to send troops?"
After hearing this question, Kobayakawa Takahide's expression became serious, and he nodded and said:
"The blocking of Fengzhou's trade routes has also hurt Yeluyan's interests. Yeluyan is willing to send troops in principle, but the Khitan people, as you know, are greedy by nature. It's not easy for An Zhirong to get them to send troops!"
Zhensanshan was silent for a while, and then said quietly: "Ye Mingsheng is not a person of concern, but the Khitan cavalry under Yeluyan, although they are small in number, are extremely powerful in combat effectiveness..."
Regarding Zhen Sanshan's words, Kobayakawa Takahide helplessly shook his head and said:
"Zheng Sang, as a partner, I really want to help you, but unfortunately, after the palace was actually occupied by Dazhou, our Black Dragon Society suffered heavy losses, and the Crimson Tide force lost more than half of its manpower."
"Half a month ago, Sato Kaga emphasized the lurking resolution at the meeting, prohibiting military operations. All operations involving more than a hundred people must obtain his approval!"
"He is the president, and the top management of the Black Dragon Society are all his cronies. I can't do anything about what he has decided. So I'm sorry, Zheng Sang. The only thing I can do to help you now is to provide you with information. !”
Seeing Kobayakawa Takahide speaking so decisively without leaving any room for maneuver, Zhensanshan frowned and then spoke again:
"I want one hundred thousand shi of food!"
"Zheng Sang, I might be able to give it to you with thousands of dan of grain, but your appetite is too big. Even Sato Kaga doesn't have this authority..." Kobayakawa Takahide was slightly dissatisfied. said:
"I didn't ask you to give it to me. I also know that you don't have the energy. Go back and tell Sato Kaga that I will buy 100,000 shi of grain from him. The price is 30% more than the market price!" Zhen Sanshan said calmly:
"Since Zheng Sang is willing to bid for the purchase, there is no problem. I am willing to apply to Chairman Sato!" Kobayakawa Takahide said happily:
"I'm waiting for your good news!" With these words, Zhen Sanshan patted the dust on his body, turned around and walked away.
As Zhen Sanshan left, more than a dozen strong men suddenly appeared around to escort him away.
After walking far away from Zhensan Mountain, a middle-aged samurai with a Tsukiyo haircut appeared next to Kobayakawa Takahide and said with some disdain:
"Bandits are bandits, they are really short-sighted!"
"When they make a big mistake on Ye Mingsheng and are severely punished, they will probably remember your words, Mr. President!"
Hearing this, Kobayakawa Takahide smiled and shook his head and said:
"Ishihara-kun, you are underestimating Zhen Sanshan!"
"This person has been able to roam the green forests of Liaoyang for so many years. It's not just that simple. He is cunning and cunning, as elusive as an old fox..."
"This old guy has always been very cautious. Since he knows that Ye Mingsheng was brought by An Zhirong and Shen Jianzhong to deal with him,
"He must have already investigated Ye Mingsheng, and of course he should understand that Ye Mingsheng is extraordinary. In all likelihood, he is just acting with me to test my attitude!"
"If you really believe what he says, you will fall into his trap!"
Ishihara Yasuo gave a thumbs up and praised: "No matter how cunning a fox is, it will be difficult to escape from the hunter's hands!"
Kobayakawa Takahide was a little unimpressed by the compliments given by his subordinates, and calmly ordered:
"Prepare 30,000 shi of food and wait for a month to deliver it to Zhen Sanshan!"
Yasuo Ishihara asked with some confusion: "President, doesn't this old guy want 100,000 shi of food?"
After hearing Ishihara Yasuo's inquiry, Kobayakawa Takahide, who was furious, shook his head in disappointment and said:
"Ishihara-kun, have you never thought about why big bandits like Zhen Sanshan come to our Black Dragon Society to buy food?"
"If he was short of food, why didn't he grab it like he did before?"
Kobayakawa Takahide's question immediately hit the blind spot of Ishihara Yasuo's cognition, leaving him stunned...
"this···········"
Looking at Yasuo Ishihara who was hesitating but still unable to explain, Kobayakawa Takahide waved helplessly. Ishihara Yasuo suddenly felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He bowed to Kobayakawa Takahide at a 90-degree angle, and then said dejectedly. Withdrew.
Kobayakawa Takahide ignored Ishihara Yasuo's departure. She looked at the direction Zhensanshan was leaving, and murmured with emotion in a low voice:
"What the Zhou people said is indeed true. The older the world becomes, the less courageous it becomes. Zhensanshan is getting old..."
While talking, Kobayakawa Takahide also began to regret for the first time, her cooperation with Jin Sanshan!
Relying on his understanding of Zhensanshan, Kobayakawa Takahide knew that Zhensanshan, as the big bandit leader, had at least 500,000 shi of food on hand. Judging from the size of Zhensanshan's troops, he was actually not short of food!
Then here comes the problem.
Why would a big bandit leader who had no shortage of food be willing to pay 30% higher than the market price to purchase 100,000 shi of food?
According to Kobayakawa Takahide, there is only one answer to this question.
That means Zhensanshan is preparing to close its gates tightly and not be able to leave!
Only in this way can we explain why Zhensanshan did not grab food, but bought it at a high price!
Although Zhen Sanshan said he was disdainful of Ye Mingsheng, in fact he was still wary of Ye Mingsheng.
However, the appearance of Ye Mingsheng should be only a minor factor. The main reason is that with the arrival of the Zhenwu Army, Zhensanshan is unclear about the future development of the situation in Liaoyang, so he wants to protect himself wisely and not be a target for others, so this move He also restrained his sharpness and became cautious...
This decision of Zhensanshan is obviously bad news for Kobayakawa Takahide.
As a careerist, she originally decided to cooperate with Zhen Sanshan because she wanted to use Zhen Sanshan's strength and influence in Green Forest to stir up troubles, fish in troubled waters, and take the opportunity to allow the Black Dragon Society to enter Liaoyang.
Therefore, the current treacherous situation in Boyun, Liaoyang, is a good opportunity for Kobayakawa Takahide to show off her skills. However, Zhen Sanshan's stagnant move has undoubtedly poured cold water on her!
