"The general thought he could surround you to death, but who would have known that he was surrounded by a fierce tiger."
"Xiao Wu, you are wrong. Those who are besieging us are ruthless people who are more ferocious than tigers."
"Hahahaha, Uncle Wang, you also said that Your Majesty, I have written it all down."
"You little brat, you bastard, I'm telling you, go and take care of the food and grass matter."
"Hehe, okay!"
Xiao Wu immediately ran outside.
The next day.
The place in the market began to spread, and gradually through inquiries from diners, people in the scholar-bureaucrat class also knew about it.
Many people breathed a long sigh of relief.
You know, everyone knows that Shangguo is short of copper and iron. Even if someone makes profits from it, it is only a very small group of people.
Most people know that as long as they get copper and iron, they will naturally make meritorious deeds.
But the copper and iron important road was completely controlled by Guo Chong. Who dared to go against him now? Of course, there were some clans who couldn't stand it and used their own connections to get some copper and iron, but it was a drop in the bucket.
Why the gossip in the market can be transmitted so quickly? It has something to do with copper and iron.
Rumor: General Li Lu used the knights of the Sword Saint Palace to smuggle copper and iron from the Liao Kingdom, so there was more copper and iron in the world.
If there is no accident.
This information has reached Guo Chong's ears.
Wang Shumao had just entered the mansion and was shocked when he saw Guo Chong.
This Guo Chong is just a female official and a powerful official. Now, he is like a wild beast that chooses people to eat, with bloodshot eyes.
"Xiangbang!"
Guo Chong's eyes were like an eagle's and his spirit was like a jackal's, looking at Wang Shushu.
"Wang Shumao, I'm going bankrupt now!"
Wang Shusui was surprised.
"Xiangbang is joking. All our copper and iron have been sold out. We will definitely make a huge profit this time."
"bump!"
Guo Chong directly picked up the wine bottle and smashed it on the ground.
"What a waste of money, I haven't shipped the goods yet."
Wang Shumao looked sad, but he was extremely happy inside, knowing that you didn’t throw the dog coin.
"How many layers of copper and iron are left in Xiangbang?"
"Ninety percent!"
"puff!"
Wang Shumao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood and looked at Guo Chong blankly.
He thought that when Guo Chong received his information, there would be at most three or two levels left. He didn't expect that this guy was so bold and still kept such a large share. He was crazy.
If it were him, he would probably lose all his hair.
"Does Xiangbang have any ideas?"
Guo Chong's face was filled with evil spirits.
"Why did Li Lu have the smuggling channels of Shang Guo and Liao Guo?"
Wang Shushu smiled.
"Isn't this very simple? There are rumors that the Sword Saint Palace is also involved. Who are the people in the Sword Saint Palace? They are all rangers, but they have the support of the Taifu."
"Now that the Tutor is gone, these people must find a backer."
"It makes sense to rely on the general!"
Guo Chong's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Here comes someone."
"Xiangbang!"
"Take my invitation to the general!"
"promise!"
Wang Shushu smiled and said, "It seems that Xiangbang intends to sell it to the general by force?"
"Nonsense, if you don't sell it to him, who will sell it to? Who in Fuyan can eat such a large amount of copper and iron!"
"How much does Xiangbang plan to sell it for? There must be some discount."
"Well, he is also fighting for the country, so let's make it cheaper and take all the ninety gold."
Wang Shumao instantly raised his forehead.
This idiot deserves to fall into your Majesty's scheme.
Still *** camp.
Several people on horseback dismounted at the gate of the military camp, negotiated for a while, and walked in.
"See General!"
Li Lu didn't even look at them, and his tone was very impatient.
"Are you from Guo Chong?"
The two raised their eyebrows.
Oh, you old boy, you dare to call the Prime Minister by his first name.
But these people are not idiots, and they will not act mindlessly like those in TV series.
In an army of hundreds of thousands, fighting against Li Lu is not seeking death.
There was only one person among the others who had a disdainful look in his eyes. This person also had the surname Guo. He was from Guo Chong's hometown and was somewhat related to them.
It's just that strictly speaking, the fifth server has been released. After Guo Chonggong became famous, some highly respected people from his hometown brought him here, hoping to work for this person and make a living.
Guo Chong saw that the people in his hometown were similar to him, so he accepted it.
"We are sympathizers."
"What does Guo Chong want from me?"
Several people looked at each other, and the leader bowed his hands respectfully, then took out a roll of palm-sized bamboo slips from his arms and held them up with both hands, with a very relaxed attitude.
"General, this is the Prime Minister's greetings."
Roughly opening the mud seal, Li Lu opened it and took a look. His unhappy face suddenly turned ugly as if water was dripping from his eyes.
Li Lu suppressed his anger.
"Is this what Guo Chong means?"
"That's what Xiangbang meant!"
There was a "pop" sound.
It gradually hit the man's face hard, and then slowly slid off. In an instant, the leader's nose turned red, but he did not dare to make any move.
"How dare you sell me ninety gold for a cart full of scraps and pieces of copper and iron? What does Guo Chong mean? Does he think Shang Guo is not chaotic enough?"
"Rebellious ministers and traitors, rebellious ministers and traitors."
Li Lu was furious and pointed in the direction of Fu Yan.
"The only copper and iron hardware on the market now is a cartload, and he dares to sell me ninety gold for a cartload. Who am I, the general? Is he a scapegoat?"
Before anyone could say anything, a little Karami jumped out from behind and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Hey, General, what we represent is the Prime Minister. You must give the Prime Minister face. This money is not yours anyway."
For an instant, there was silence in the big tent.
All the soldiers inside gasped, and the companions next to them quickly stepped aside as if they were electrocuted.
It's just that it's written on his face, I don't know this ***.
Li Lu turned his stiff head, revealing a trace of confusion, and immediately his whole body was like a volcano erupting.
"Come here, cut off these guys' ears and tell them to get out. Why should I be afraid of a woman who is a sycophant?"
The two soldiers directly pressed the man to the ground, ignoring his roars. There was a flash of cold light, and two bloody ears fell to the ground. The man kept wailing on the ground, covering his ears tightly with his hands, and there were traces of blood stains. It flows from the fingers.
The soldiers who were executing him were still not relieved, so they punched him a few more times to vent their anger on the general.
The leader was stunned.
Brother, you are such a naughty person. It’s okay to pretend to be cool. Everyone is selling you face, but you have to know who this person is in front of you?
That is General Li Lu. Looking around the world, those are all famous people.
After helping him up, he bowed and ran away as if running away.
The lieutenant frowned.
"General, that's a member of the prime minister, there won't be any trouble."
Li Lu looked resolute and did not take Guo Chong into his eyes at all.
"A woman is a sycophant, what are you afraid of?"
A few days later.
A servant with a bruised nose and swollen face rolled into the mansion.
"Xiangbang, Xiangbang, you have to make the decision for me."
Looking at the person in front of him, Guo Chong was confused.
"Who are you?"
"Uncle, uncle, I am Guo Xiaoer!"
"Damn it, where are your ears? And why, how did you become like this!"
Guo Xiaoer immediately told the whole story. Of course, he modified it a bit. He not only added oil and vinegar, but also added chili, ginger, and spicy things.
Guo Chong's temples kept twitching as he heard this.
"Bang!"
"Ouch!!!"
Guo Chong was so angry that he slapped the table with his palm, but he grimaced in pain.
"Li Lu, Li Lu, you damn man, you don't show your true face like this!!!"
Guo Xiaoer's eyes were sinister.
"Uncle, all your money is on copper and iron, why not..."
Guo Xiaoer slapped his neck hard with a stern look on his face.
Guo Chong's eyes flickered. Although Guo Xiaoer was usually unreliable, this suggestion moved him a little.
Li Lu had full authority over Shang Guo's army, and even had a share to purchase copper and iron, grain, grass, salt and medicine.
The profits can be astonishingly large.
"It's a pity that he is fighting Wu Anjun at the moment. If the generals are changed before the battle, we won't get much benefit if we lose. After all, we have to live to enjoy it."
At this time, a servant ran in.
"Master of the house, Wang Shumao wants to see you!"
"please come in!"
After Guo Chong waved Guo Xiaoer back, Wang Shushu walked in.
"Xiangbang!"
"sit!"
"Wang Shumao, why did you come here today?"
Wang Shusui hesitated for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "I have nothing to do today, I just came to take a look."
Looking at Wang Shumao's face, Guo Chongqi said.
"You're not doing well today. I'm losing money right now. What's bothering you? You're going to make a lot of money this time, right?"
Wang Shumao hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing and took a sip of water.
Guo Chong was a little puzzled, but he still asked. After all, only Wang Shumao could help him now.
"Today someone asked me to tell the king whether I can get the general to withdraw the army. It is not good for anyone if the two armies are entangled."
Wang Shumao said distressedly.
"But I'm just a businessman who speaks lightly. How can I have such a connection with the world?"
Guo Chong's eyes suddenly flashed with a glimmer of light.
"Are you sure Mr. Wu An wants to withdraw his troops?"
Wang Shusui was silent for a while.
"That friend of mine, alas, is not much of a friend, but he is indeed my savior. He told me that Mr. Wu An is now besieged by Zhangshui River."
"Can you guarantee that Lord Wu'an will withdraw to Yanggu Pass?"
Wang Shushu was stunned and said, "That's natural. Is it possible that Lord Wu An can capture Fu Yan with his little strength? How is it possible?"
Guo Chong nodded with a smile.
Indeed, the city of Fuyan is tall, strong, and well-defended. The most important thing is that the people of Shangguo in Fuyan are very loyal.
Wanting to capture Fu Yan with a mere hundred thousand troops is no different from daydreaming.
In Guo Chong's eyes, if he wanted to capture Fu Yan, he would need millions of troops. As long as Fu Yan was not lost, Shang Guo could not be destroyed.
Lord Wu An can fight, but can he still break into Fu Yan?
"The truth is that I don't have the ability to ask Li Lu to withdraw his troops, but the truth is that I have the ability to ask Li Lu to transfer the army."
Guo Chong looked at Wang Shushu with burning eyes.
