Chapter 136 The trump card is irresistible
Pu Yuan was a little panicked and said hurriedly: "The general doesn't know something. Marquis Wen's requirements are too strict. The steel he needs cannot be tempered in a short time. The villain is trying a new kind of tempering."
Hou Cheng sneered: "Pu Yuan, I'm not trying to scare you. If we can't build it this month, no one can save your Pu family."
After saying that, he led his troops and left.
The surrounding tribesmen walked toward Pu Yuan.
"Chief, Lu Bu came back from Chang'an and he was full of anger. I heard that he is still quitting smoking. The addict wants to kill someone!"
"Didn't you quit already?"
"You may not have gone out in the past few days, and you have committed it again, and it is even worse. Doctors who have seen him say that it is the most difficult thing to persist in the past period before you can successfully quit smoking."
Chen Jiao took the opportunity to approach and said, "Mr. Pu, make an appointment to talk. You won't regret it."
Unexpectedly, Pu Yuan raised the horse spoon for boiling molten iron and said, "Get out of here. It's all the eldest son of your family who is causing this trouble. Get out of here!"
After the people drove away, Pu Yuan stared at the iron knot in a daze. He had cooled down and didn't hit him.
The surrounding tribesmen pretended not to see it, but their hearts were heavy. It was obvious that the head of the family was not sure about the construction of the new Fangtian Painted Halberd. The most important thing was that the steel quality was not enough.
You must know that the reason why famous swords and famous swords in ancient times were rare is that the higher level of steel cannot be controlled by humans.
After Chen Jiao went out, he spent money to find a deacon of the Pu family and asked, "Why did Marquis Wen ask Mr. Pu to build a new Fangtian Painted Halberd?"
The deacon accepted the money, and it was not a secret. He said everything he knew, "Mr. Chen did not know something. Now Bingzhou Shepherd Zhang Yang is fighting with the Black Mountain Army in Huguan. With the help of Marquis Wen, the blood of the Black Mountain bandits he killed was like a river, and even the painted halberds were chopped off. It’s broken. You should also know Marquis Wen’s feelings for Fang Tian Huaji, so your requirements are very strict. I’m afraid the Pu family will be in trouble.”
The deacon was frightened, lost interest in talking and hurried away.
Chen Jiao thought thoughtfully, "Lü Bu, a common man, escaped by killing Dong Zhuo. But if he wants to gain a foothold in his hometown of Jiuyuan, he must contribute to Bingzhou. This matter needs to be reported to the eldest son as soon as possible."
He felt ashamed that he could not persuade Pu Yuan to go to Shanggu County, but who would have encountered such an accident.
at the same time.
Huai County, Shanggu County.
Yuan Tan was in low spirits and was really busy with official duties, but he had to force himself to continue the meeting.
He is discussing the future layout of Northland with Guo Jia and Xu Shu.
There are three states to the north of the Yellow River, Youzhou, Jizhou, and Bingzhou, but there are seven princes, namely: Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei, Han Fu, Liu Yu, Zhang Yan, and himself.
The situation can be said to be complicated. A comparison can show that the Central Plains is vaster than the Northern Territory, but there are only four princes: Cao Cao, Kong Rong, Tao Qian, and Yuan Shu.
How should we expand our power?
Guo Jia weighed the pros and cons and put forward a point of view, "My eldest son, Bingzhou is not rich, and Zhang Yang is neither brave nor resourceful, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Uncle Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, has won the hearts of the people and is quite prestigious. Han Fu is a villain, Although there are many soldiers and supplies, there are no generals. The soldiers and supplies are just for my use."
The meaning has been very clear, which is to fight Han Fu.
Yuan Tan also agreed to fight, but said: "If the prediction is correct, I am afraid that my father is also planning to attack Jizhou. If he joins forces with Gongsun Zan, we will be very passive."
Xu Shu: "My eldest son, Gongsun Zan recommends Liu Bei to be the commander of Pingyuan. He just wants to attack Duke Yuan from the north and the south. How can we join forces?"
Yuan Tan thought for a while and said, "Yuan Zhi, if my father uses Jizhou as bait to persuade Gongsun Zan to attack the equal share. You just said that Han Fu is timid, he will definitely go to my father for help."
"The dove takes over the magpie's nest!" Guo Jia said in astonishment.
Yuan Tan was amazed. He knew that history was like this, but Guo Jia could react so quickly without knowing it.
Guo Jia and Xu Shu looked at each other and felt it was impossible.
Yuan Tan: "We still have to accumulate strength, wait for the summer harvest in three months, and continue to expand our army."
Guo Jia originally planned to propose a blitz attack on Yecheng to replace Han Fu. But what Yuan Tan said is not unreasonable. With every harvest, the strength of Tiance Army will rise to a new level.
"By the way, we must focus on identifying the capabilities of the iron smelting industry during this period. The quality of our army's weapons needs to be improved. Moreover, I plan to build a blast furnace for steelmaking and need personnel with experience in this field."
"Here."
night.
Yuan Tan lay directly on the bed and stretched out his body. Zhen Mi pressed over him and drew circles on his heart with her fingers. "Husband, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans have arisen again during this period, known as the Black Mountain Army. My father wants to ask you to send troops to protect the industry, but he won't. If you use it in vain, you will be given money and food.”
During this period, there were indeed signs of a resurgence of the Yellow Turban thieves. Cao Cao fought against the Yellow Turban thieves in the Taishan area at the junction of Yanzhou and Qingzhou.
When Yuan Tan heard this, he shook his head and expressed that it was very difficult.
Zhen Mi rolled her eyes secretly, thinking, "You are so shameless. Do you think I am the kind of vase that is easy to fool?"
If we send troops to Jizhou, it will be good for the future.
So she rode directly on Yuan Tan and pulled out a long piece from under the pillow, "Husband, what are you looking at?"
"Black stockings! You really made them, thank you for remembering them." Yuan Tan couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.
It's a man's dream to do that with a woman wearing black stockings. Time travel was not possible in my previous life, so could it be possible in ancient times?
His eyes lit up.
"If you agree to send troops, I will wear them." Zhen Mi said aggrievedly.
Yuan Tan slapped her legs. Could this be the origin of the slap? "Come, stretch your legs, and I will put them on for you personally."
Zhen Mi: "..." I thought he would pretend to think about it for a while, but I didn't expect him to be so straightforward and not pretending at all, right?
Zhen Ji's skin is unique and her legs are long. After putting on the black stockings, Yuan Tan's whole body became energetic.
Black stockings are better than newlyweds!
What you hold in your hands is not necessarily the right!
What you carry on your shoulders must be responsibility!
……
Three days later.
Yecheng, the administrative seat of Jizhou.
Han Fu hosted a grand banquet, which gathered high-level merchants from all walks of life in Jizhou, as well as representatives of the gentry.
This Jizhou shepherd is quite satisfied with his current situation. This move is not only to win over people, but also to show off to the surrounding princes.
As the richest man in Jizhou, Zhen Yi was of course invited to the banquet and held a pivotal position.
"Mr. Zhen."
"Master Zhen."
It seemed that everyone had never divided up the Zhen family together, and they all came forward to say hello.
When Zhen Yi arrived, even Jizhou Mu Han Fu had to stand up to greet him, "How is Mr. Zhen always doing?"
"It's not bad to have Mr. Laozhou Mu care about you."
Everyone observed that Zhen Yi's demeanor was much calmer and nobler than in previous years.
Cui Yan squeezed out of the crowd, "Uncle, I heard that the eldest son sent a thousand Tiance cavalry to the Zhen family. Is this true?"
"Haha." Zhen Yi stroked his beard and said proudly: "My nephew is well informed about this. A thousand cavalry a day can be as good as over ten thousand elite soldiers."
Everyone was discussing privately that with a thousand elite cavalry, they could kill anyone who didn't like them, so they stepped forward to please them one after another.
Han Fu was very dissatisfied with the fact that Zhen Yi had become the new focus of the banquet as soon as he appeared and stole his limelight, but he could only drink wine.
At this time, a young master came from the crowd. He was even more beautiful than Cui Yan, the most beautiful man in the world, and he immediately attracted people's attention.
The young master was able to come to Zhen Yi smoothly, "Senior, junior Zhang Xiaorou is polite."
Zhen Yi nodded gracefully, but couldn't remember who the person in front of him was, but seeing that he was able to appear here, and his temperament was noble, he must have come from an extraordinary place.
Cui Yan whispered from the side: "Uncle, this person is the young master of the Zhang family who just emerged last year. His family sells people's livelihood knives. The quality is really good. 50 households in Jizhou use his kitchen knives. I heard that they are Han Fu sent a lot of money and food."
Zhen Yi was old and cunning, and immediately understood, thinking that this person must have seen the chaos in the world, and was preparing to become an arms dealer, "Who is your ancestor?"
"It's not worth mentioning." Although Zhang Xiaorou said this, everyone felt that it was mysterious.
Zhen Yi guessed well. Zhang Xiaorou hoped to become a weapons supplier to the princes along the way, and felt that Yuan Tan had the best prospect, not that he had a future, but that the eldest son of the Yuan family was surrounded by enemies on all sides in Jizhou. Even potential allies.
"Let's chat when we have the chance." Zhen Yi left these words and turned around to talk elsewhere.
