Chapter 36 Disperse the Horse
Tomorrow morning, Wen Han opened his eyes hazyly and suddenly felt a bone pain all over his body. Only then did he find that Guan Yu and Xu Huang were pressing on him. Wen Han pushed them away, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Then, Wen Han walked out of the village and found that his men were also drunk. The sun rose, but he still didn't rise.
It was really crazy to drink at the banquet last night. It is necessary to change this bad habit in the future. It is not good to relax too much. If a team of soldiers and horses come to attack at this time, it is really a nest.
Wen Han walked back again, woke up Pei Yuanshao, Zhou Cang and Li Qiang, and asked the three of them to sort out their soldiers after washing up. After Wen Han explained, he sat on the chief of the hall and began to think about the route of this army in the future.
There are too many problems in front of us that need to be solved by Wen Han.
Wen Han began to figure out the problem. First, there are more people now, and this source of income must increase. Second, he offended the Runan Yuan brothers. Seeing that the treachery failed to succeed, it was inevitable that they would not use bad water again. Third, the date of the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion is getting closer and closer. According to ancient historical records, the Yellow Turban Rebellion is a critical moment for the princes to expand their power and plunder territory. If Wen Han wants to have a place in this troubled world, he must seize this opportunity.
Wen Han, who has the knowledge of 5,000 years later and is familiar with ancient history, finds that his head is not enough at this moment.
"If only I had top counselors such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai by my side. Now under my command are all the generals who can fight. It seems that it's time to find some counselors.
Wen Han rubbed his painful temples and unconsciously thought about it for half an hour. At this time, Guan Yu and Xu Huang also woke up. After the banquet last night, they became familiar with each other. Originally, even if they were half of the same hometown, they had excellent martial arts and respected each other.
"Exordinary, what are you thinking when you look so worried?"
Xu Huang and Guan Yu walked into the hall together and couldn't help asking when they saw Wen Han's sad face. Since Wen Han made Xu Huang a brother on that day, Xu Huang seemed to be much more generous. After all, Xu Huang has his own strength. Following Wen Han, a poor man with no power for the time being, he will be more or less aggrieved.
"Ha ha. I'm thinking about how to develop in the future. There are many people under them, and all food, clothing, housing and transportation are money. Moreover, I offended the Runan Yuan brothers. If I return with a big victory this time, I can't say that I will be calculated again.
Wen Han looked a little strong and smiled bitterly. Guan Yu closed his eyes and thought for a while. He opened his mouth and said, "The virtuous brother is worried. Guan has some suggestions about this. I don't know if the virtuous brother would like to listen?"
"Brother Yun Chang, please tell me quickly." Wen Han's eyes lit up. Guan Yu was worthy of being the first of the "Five Tiger Generals" in history, and later managed a land in Jingzhou. It's just that Guan Yu's martial arts are really outstanding, which overshadowed his wisdom. Let Wen Han unconsciously ignore his wisdom.
"Brother Xian, if you take this group of soldiers from Shuanglong Mountain back to Xie County this time, the number of troops will be greatly increased. It may not only be calculated by Runan Yuan's family, but also cause Yang Hong's deep fear! Although the scholars behind the Yuan clan in Runan are strong, but it is only limited to the area of Runan, the head family in Xie County is Yang Hong, so Yang Hong's fear is the most important.
In the past, there were few soldiers, and Yang Hong felt that he could suppress the virtuous brother. But now, in addition to the 400 soldiers who left yesterday and the 500 elites borrowed from Yang Dian, the wise brother now has nearly 2,300 private soldiers. This kind of force is similar to that of Xie County. Yang Hong will definitely be afraid. The virtuous brother is worthy of this county.
If Yang Hong and the Yuan family in Runan reported to the court at the same time, they would report to the virtuous brother of a crime of supporting the army. At that time, Xiandi will become a street mouse and everyone will shout and fight. Therefore, Guan suggested that Xiandi should disperse his men. This time when I go back to Xie County, I have to pretend to be a tragic victory to make Yang Hong think that the virtuous brother is no longer a threat.
Guan Yu held the beautiful beard on his lower jaw and talked about it. This beautiful beard is two feet long, and Guan Yu usually takes good care of it, making it black, bright, elegant and beautiful.
Wen Han listened and thought while thinking. Then, Wen Han quietly thought about the time of half a column of incense, and suddenly seemed to think of a way, and his eyes gathered brighter and brighter.
"Hahahaha. Brother Yun Chang woke up the dreamer with one word. Zhou Cang and Li Qiang are here. You and the other two will come in quickly. I have something to explain to you and the other two.
Wen Han laughed and shouted loudly. Zhou Cang and Li Qiang, who had rectified the soldiers outside and were ready to start training, quickly explained to their subordinates to practice by themselves. The two rushed into the hall and saw that Wen Han's face was full of joy. It was doubt that they listened to Wen Han's mouth and said.
"Are you familiar with Li Qiang's gambling house?"
"To tell the prince, he also knows that I managed the gambling house before I met him. Later, a horse hanging competition was held, and the prince sent me to assist. Speaking of this gambling house, I dare to say that in addition to Mrs. Zhou (Lin's), this solution is the first in the county!"
"Okay, very good!"
Wen Han nodded and smiled, and then asked Zhou Cang.
"Zhou Cang, although you are a new investment, I know that you are loyal and righteous, and I regard you as a family member. Do you feel hypocritical when I say this?
"The prince's true feelings can become the prince's family. Zhou Cang is lucky to have three lives!"
Zhou Cang was stunned at first. He didn't know why Wen Han asked this question, but he didn't think too much and replied solemnly.
"Good! I have something to do. You have to wait for two people to do it. I have not achieved my power today, and I have offended the rich and powerful, and I need to lurk. Therefore, it is not appropriate to take too many soldiers back to Xie County. I plan to take these Shuanglongshan troops under the command of Li Qiang, Zhou Cang'er and other two people to break them up around Hedong County and set up a gambling house.
There are 25 counties under the jurisdiction of Hedong County. First, it will be opened from ten nearby counties around Yang County and Xie County. Each county will be controlled by two people. After the gambling house business in these ten counties is stable, you will slowly expand and open the gambling house all over Hedong County. You can also take the opportunity to accept other people's hands, but you should ensure their loyalty.
In this battle of Shuanglong Mountain, about tens of thousands of silver taels were seized. These silver taels and other two people took it as the starting capital of the gambling house. If it's not enough, you and the other two of you can secretly go back to Xie County to ask for me or my sister-in-law 'Lin', or come back to discuss with me when you encounter difficulties and problems.
Also, you and the other two must not reveal their identities and not be known to be under my command. Nowadays, the capital and manpower are sufficient, but the time is tight. Li Qiang and Zhou Cang, I can only wait for you for less than two years. In the past two years, do you have the confidence to open this gambling house all over Hedong County, which is a critical part of my major event?
Wen Han almost gave them his lifeline and the future of him and his subordinates. Zhou Cang trembled all over and looked at Wen Han in disbelief. Wen Han smiled flatly, waiting for their answer.
"My son, this is a big deal, and I'm afraid..."
Zhou Cang bowed his head. He didn't know where Wen Han's self-confidence came from, and he actually gave such a big thing to a new surrender.
"How can you be so scared? Just tell me if you can do it."
Wen Han interrupted Zhou Cang, and Zhou Cang thought for a while. There was a kind of pride that a scholar died for his confidant and said, "Yes!"
"That's fine. What about Li Qiang? What are you doing there? Why is there no response?
"The prince, I am a follower of the prince, and I don't want to leave the prince!"
Li Qiang straightened his face and said stubbornly.
"Hey! Where does the female mood come from? Li Qiang, Gangru also said that this gambling house is the first person in Xie County except for his sister-in-law. At the beginning, the gambling house is a business. I don't send this acquaintance. Can I let Zhou Cang, a person who doesn't even know what a 'horse hanger', take care of the gambling house? You manage the gambling house, Zhoucang manager, two or two cooperation, as a perfect match. My big deal, but you can't wait for one person. How can Li Qiangru be so ignorant? If it is, how can you put up with my great event?
Today, there are 2,300 people under my command. The future of these people is entrusted to me, and now I entrust it to you! I'm asking you, you can do what you want!"
Wen Han stood up, walked to Li Qiang, and said with a serious face. Li Qiang listened and knew that it was important, but he couldn't bear to leave Wen Han. But at the end, when he heard Wen Han's words, Li Qiang was shaken, the future of 2,300 people! Now I want to give it to him, Li Qiang!
"My subordinates, I wish!" Li Qiang, gritting his teeth, he was originally a small man. Because of Wen Han, his life was different from then on. I wanted to repay him as an entourage. However, Wen Han raised him to a high position. Li Qiang was extremely grateful and his eyes were already rosy.
"Hahaha. All right, all right! I might as well explain to you that this troubled world is coming. The next minute and a second are about the future. The three forces of financial resources, military strength and background are combined. The background is born. We can't choose, but we can fight for financial resources and military strength. You can tighten your nerves, and a broader future is waiting for us!"
Wen Han saw that the most urgent problem today had been solved, and he was just happy. And other people, when they heard that the troubled times were coming, they were all looking forward to it and excited.
"In two years, this eagle will become a green eagle and fly high in this troubled world." Guan Yu nodded and smiled secretly. Wen Han, a person who cares and respects his subordinates, is not stubborn at all. He is willing to listen to other people's opinions and has talent and strategy. The most important thing is to have a thorough view of the general trend of the world.
If these characters follow, they will not lose the name of Wuguan Yunchang.
This idea flashed in Guan Yu's head in an instant.
Later, after Wen Han discussed the details of some things with Zhou Cang and Li Qiang, he called Pei Yuanshao over. The three of them came from a humble background. Although they have passed the year of the crown, they still have no words. Wen Han gave words to them, which also proved the transformation of their identity and the status of Wen Han's gang.
"Li Qiang, give the word Ling Yun. I hope you can be above the clouds of the world and achieve great things. Pei Yuanshao, give the word Huai'an. I hope you can have a great plan to stabilize the world. Zhou Cang, I give you the word Ding Gong. I hope you can make a decision on everything, put the word Gong first, and become a person who makes a big choice.
Wen Han gave the three characters, and the three people couldn't help smiling happily on their faces. They are extremely satisfied with their words and make up their minds to fight deeply behind this word.
