On the bank of Rushui, the old city of Hu's capital is at the turning point of Rushui from west to east and from south to north, the river bay is gentle, and the land is relatively fertile, even if Hu is only a small viscount country at that time, on the whole, it is also a rich place.It's just that the long-term military confrontation has made Hu Ziguo also experience a strange vicious circle of "perishing, recovering the country, and perishing" similar to Huai Shang's weakness.In the early days, the northern front line of the Chu State was still near the Bai State, and after the Fangcheng defense system was established one after another, the front line extended to Yedi, but just like the Chu State did in Huaishui, the Chu State also established many outposts on both sides of the Rushui River.To the west of the old city of Hu's capital, tracing upstream, at the confluence of Sishui and Rushui, Chu established a military base outside Yedi."
Soup" is better known for its tanning and wood processing.The development of handicrafts and commerce made Butangcheng an important foreign market for Chu outside of Yedi, although it was an outpost of the Chu State.One of the most famous toys in the world, the "rattle", is mostly produced by the city.The so-called "rattle" is the onomatopoeia of "no soup".If Dabie Mountain and Peng Lize are the front-line buffer zone of the confrontation between Wu and Chu, then the Rushui basin near Butangcheng is also the frontline of the confrontation between Chu and Zheng.Once the countries could not resist the military deterrence of the Chu State, the Jin State would not be far away to come to help.The whole region, because of this special external environment, makes the number of merchants, travelers, exiles and spies quite rich.With the alliance of Zheng and Cai in Chengying, the army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people was mobilized, and Shangcai, who was used as a transit station, drank a piece of Rushui with Butang City and Hucheng after all.The boats and boats seem to be closer than ever, and the cars, boats, cattle and horses in the south, east, west, and northwest seem to be pouring into Butang City and Hucheng in just a few days.The former army of the Zheng and Cai coalition had just arrived in Shangcai, and the "guest soldiers" were still staying in Gao, and before they got the opening money given by Zheng Guo, the "guest soldiers" would not leave the bank of Yingshui, and then obediently and smoothly went to Rushui.At this moment, on the three-zhang high city wall of Hucheng, a large piece of mottled rammed earth has been shattered, and the functions of the city have actually been damaged a lot because of the long-term military confrontation.This former capital of Hu has been reduced to the territory of Zheng State, Chu State, Cai State, and Xu State, and now, Hu City has once again fallen into the hands of Zheng State.According to the newly drafted treaty between Zheng and Cai, Cai Guo contributed a large sum of money and about 20,000 people to help Zheng Guo repair Hucheng.This good news soon spread in Hucheng, and the whole city was filled with a happy atmosphere."
As long as you help the Cai people subdue the capital, Hucheng will prosper.""
Going down the river, all are rich places, that is, go to Butang City to buy Butang drums, and then sell them to Xincai, you can also get three times the profit."
In Hucheng's slightly declining market, local businessmen are very happy, and social stability is very important for economic circulation.If you can make money, it's a good thing.The market is not big, and there was originally a livestock trade, but because Cai was fighting, many cattle traders from the south were cut off, unless the merchant had its own ship, so that after passing through Cai, he could go to Hucheng to trade.Ding, ding, ding, ding, in the market, which was not originally bustling, suddenly sounded a very familiar bell.Usually when livestock traders enter the market, they will ring such a bell.Either the horse team or the ox team, the worst of all, is also a lamb seller.Hundreds of sheep, the head of the sheep, also have a bell hanging around their necks, so that it is also convenient to drive the sheep to walk."
Huh?
This is Chen Guoren's horse team?
”"How could Chen Guoren sell horses here?
Isn't it transit?
”"It's transit, it's also going through Yingshui, how can you go through Rushui?""
Or do you have to sell it to Midsummer?""
The horses are of excellent color, they are good horses, if they are not sold to the middle summer, who else can they sell them to?""
Guess what, go and ask Chen Ren.""
Yes."
Local businessmen flocked to greet the merchants of Chen Guo, and the business was done if they bought and sold.If you don't care about it, how can you know if the other party sells it, and the other party doesn't know whether you buy it or not."
Huh?!
That's Rifu Itachi?
”There was a local merchant in Hucheng who had excellent eyesight, and he saw a tall guy from a distance looking for Chen Guoren to speak, so he stopped."
Gao Weasel Lifu doesn't go to Shangcai, why is he in Hucheng?""
The guest soldiers have not yet arrived in Rushui, Gao Weasel Lifu is the person who buys and sells the guest soldiers, is it not that the guest soldiers want to come to Hucheng first?""
If that's the case, you can prepare the reverse journey and the guest house first, and then invite all the people to come over and partner!"
Accommodation consumption one-stop, and a few more big health care, one word: really chicken cool.However, the merchants of Hucheng only thought about it, and did not dare to come forward to inquire about the market on Gao Weasel Lifu's side.Who knows what this "guest" scum loot agent thinks, what if it's just a trip to wander around?
After seeing the onlookers of the local merchants in Hucheng, Gao Weasel Lifu in the distance was not annoyed, but turned around with a smile and saluted everyone, and after returning the salute from a distance, some people speculated: "Could it be that Chen Guo also wants to ally with Zheng Guo?"
”"If that's the case, wouldn't you want to besiege the fierce man of Wu State?""
It's ridiculous, Chen Guo has repeatedly suffered heavy losses on this savage, how dare he continue to be presumptuous?""
If it weren't for the siege of Wu Guo's fierce man, he couldn't just come to sell sheep, right?""
Why not?
With hundreds of thousands of troops, a sheep can always earn double the profit, if Zheng Hou is happy, he can't say double or triple the profit. ”As everyone was talking, they saw Gao Weasel Lifu beckoning his subordinates to help drive Chen Guoren's horses and sheep to the nearby pen.The barn in the market is now empty, and it doesn't cost much to rent for a day.After it was done, Gao Weasel Lifu invited a few Chen Guoren to go to a restaurant.After entering the restaurant, a group of Chen Guo people who were originally businessmen of Chen Guo suddenly swept away their previous philistine spirit, but instead looked at Gao Weasel Lifu with a solemn expression: "I don't know how Lifu thinks about it?"
”"We are fighting for money, fame and lordship, I don't know how much the king of Wu can give a macho man?""
Huh."
Chen Guoren sneered, and then reached into his arms, just one action frightened the faces of the warriors behind Gao Weasel Lifu, and they all pressed the hilt of the sword in their hands: "What do you want?!"
”"Don't be like a frightened bird."
His eyes did not hide his disdain at all, and Chen Guoren, who was the leader, took out a bag of things and threw them on the desk, "Please take a look." ”Weasel Lifu was stunned for a moment, raised his hand to stop the nervousness of the subordinates behind him, looked at each other, slowly stretched out his hand, and picked up the bag.It's not heavy, but it makes a loud noise, and when he shakes his mouth, Gao Weasel Lifu's whole person looks like fried hair: "Ahhh"This, this" "When I came, I was instructed by the general. ”Chen Guoren said, and arched his hand towards the south, "Success or failure, a few gifts, make a friend first."
These five-colored spirit beads are produced in the depths of the East China Sea, and only a general who is so heroic can he harvest a little. ”"I have heard for a long time that Jiang Yinzi is friendly with Surabaya-kun, and he is a friend of Surabaya-kun, but I never thought that the gentleman of the East China Sea is also a friend?""
Huh."
Chen Guoren didn't bother to explain, but asked Gao Weasel Lifu, who was counting the colorful glass beads, "Lifu thinks the general's sincerity, how about it?"
”"Such sincerity, really profound, really profound!"
Two fingers between a red glass bead, this glass bead is not very good, there are a lot of bubbles, but because there are bubbles in it, it makes Gao Weasel Lifu shocked, if this is not from the East China Sea, can it be burned out of the fire?
Thinking of this, Gao Weasel Lifu suddenly wondered: I have heard for a long time that Wu Guo Li Xie has a miracle, isn't it really able to manifest spirits?
If this is the case, when it is said that the "guest soldiers" generals should be moved, they should serve Li Jiecai!
