Looking into the distance, the vast plain bordering Jizhou was flying in dust. In the shock of the earth, countless horse hooves seemed to be hitting the earth heavily. Standing on the city gate to look at this scene, Zhao Yun's muscles on the corner of his mouth were thrusting, and he couldn't help but hold his fists nervously beside Wang Hou.

"Lord, please transfer the city defense force!"

"If you can't use it, just go down with me to greet the guests!"

Putting down the telescope, Wang Hou laughed relaxedly, then turned around and walked towards the stairs under the city wall. Looking at his back, he sighed helplessly, carrying his spear, and two short muskets hung around his waist. Zhao Yun also hurriedly followed.

Compared with the aggressive cavalry group, the hundreds of cavalrymen greeted by Puyang were too small, like an insect facing hot rosin. However, even Wang Hou and other personal soldiers were terrified, the huge cavalry group stopped less than fifty meters in front of him. Wang Hou laughed and hugged his fists.

"General Yan, I haven't seen you for a few days, so don't be fine!"

Obviously he didn't want to see Wang Hou, and the corner of his mouth twitched again. He rode on the horse and tied the reins of the horse. Yan Liang snorted gloomy: "A family has been named another driver and escorted the caravan here. If you don't enter your Puyang, you don't need to worry!"

"Ha, we are all ministers of the Han Dynasty. What are Wang worried about? Wang also set up a banquet in the city. Puyang's cooking is now famous. Why don't the general come to the city together and have a few drinks?"

"This year's autumn harvest, Yan will come to pick you up Puyang and say goodbye!"

Amid Zhao Yun's concern, Yan Liang turned around and followed him. Hundreds of Hebei cavalry also pulled their horses and turned around, but there was still a large group of horses left on the spot. Now Zhao Yun realized that these were all horses and no cavalry accompanied them.

After Yan Liang left, the main owner finally showed up. Four or five scholars looked at Yan Liang's leaving back with contempt. Then he kicked the horse and walked towards Wang Hou with a smile on his face. The one who took the lead laughed and bowed heavily.

"Guo Chongxian, Jizhou, pay homage to the prefect of the king."

After glanced at the horse behind him, the young and elegant young man smiled meaningfully and said, "After the order of Guo Biejia, we will come to trade and experience. I hope the man of the mansion will be very happy!"

"It's easy to say! It's easy to say!"

Seeing the horse, Wang Hou's eyes were straightened. He hurriedly responded with fists, and at the same time he raised his sleeves behind him.

"Please here!"

"please!"

............

With more than 5,000 Hebei Liangma was led into Puyang City, Wang Hou's cross trade plan was finally completed. The aristocratic families in the four prefectures of Hebei finally couldn't help but lead a huge business group to the big cake in Puyang business district.

Moreover, it is worthy of being cultivated and resuscitation under Yuan Shao. The wealthy Hebei clans have far exceeded the wealth of this move, whether it is Guanzhong, Xuzhou, or Yanzhou. The major Hebei families have brought more than 3,000 merchants to work. Five thousand horses are just what I saw in front of me. There are probably 70,000 or 80,000 pieces of cloth on the back of the horse. The carriage behind them is more than 10,000 stones of grain, and even more than 1,000 good woods pulled by cows, leaving behind such scattered gadgets such as lamp oil and bronze furniture. Wang Hou doesn't know how many of them are.

When the goods entered the city, Puyang City, which was already quite lively, once again set off a small climax. Before they could make a move, the aristocratic family managers from Xuzhou and Central Plains were already rushing over excitedly. However, looking at the rushing merchants, the children of the Jizhou family led by Guo Chongxian showed contempt and disdain and threw the reins to the side. They didn't even care about the management and hugged Wang Hou and clasped their fists.

"I heard that Hedong is a master of cooking now, and famous chefs from all over the world gather here. The Lord of the House, let these ordinary people go there and be stinking to be full of money! How about we have a drink?"

To be honest, Wang Hou really wanted to see how many good things these playboys in front of him brought, but Guo Chongxian said so, so he had no choice but to wink at his subordinate Wang Tao, and then clasped his fists at them.

"Please here!"

Now Wang Hou has completely used up the forty newly-launched shops in Puyang City. He has left only four, offered two for Cao Cao and four for Chen Deng. When the Xuzhou merchants brought by Chen Deng saw that the sale was good, they took out money and cloth to buy four, and took over the best shops near the prefect's mansion.

Seeing that Puyang was in good momentum, the Yingchuan family that followed, the Central Plains rich people hurriedly donated money. However, Wang Hou was only willing to sell real estate in limited quantities, and only gave them eight shops and small buildings. As for the later Guanzhong family, they also gave them eight unbiasedly.

Finally, the ten shops leaning against the West City Gate were completely blocked. Guo, Xin, Tian, ​​Zhang, Gao, Chunyu, Yuan, Xu and others who had just entered had a total of ten major families in Hebei, each family.

Leaving the intimidating Hebei goods, selling hotly, and taking these aristocratic families, Wang Hou returned to the Puyang Restaurant at the gate of the prefect's mansion, which he named as the Shaxian Hotel. At this time, the restaurant was full of people. More than 100 tables on the first floor were filled with seats. Xuzhou merchants or Guanzhong clan officials who had just returned were sitting together and whispering about business or exchange information. There were at least seven or eight hundred people. In order to entertain such a large group of wealthy men, the big pot for cooking in the back kitchen was almost as big as the pig food pot. The chef who was raising the spoon was tired and sweaty, and more than a dozen young men were holding pottery plates and hitting the back of the head.

No matter what era, foodies occupy the world, and the daily turnover of restaurants alone costs more than 100,000 yuan, even exceeding the iron shop that Wang Hou had high hopes for.

Seeing Wang Hou leading Guo Chongxian and some scholars, the guests on the first floor were surprised and clasped their fists and asked. Wang Hou smiled without any airs, clasped his fists and bowed back. However, Guo Chongxian and others had their eyes on their heads, and they ignored them arrogantly and followed him straight to the second floor.

Before traveling through time, Wang Hou’s dream was realized, that was to open a restaurant and come to eat by himself without spending money every day! Every noon, he had to come to the second floor to have a meal with pride. The chef in the kitchen on the second floor had already prepared the dishes.

There were more than ten dishes such as the golden river shrimp, the oily Yellow River carp, and Chen Deng came and stir-fried shrimps, soft fried pork ribs, etc. The table was filled with braised noodles with poached eggs. The fragrant smell made more than a dozen young masters from Hebei who came to Hebei almost couldn't maintain their noble image.

After the guest and the host and the guest sat down, they tried their best to endure the urge to go up to whirlwind and chopsticks. Guo Chongxian pretended to be calm and smiled calmly and hugged Wang Hou and then hugged his fists.

"I heard that the prefect of Dongjun is a minister who ruled the world. My Duke Yuan has admired the emperor for a long time. When I see him today, the grand occasion of Puyang is indeed worthy of his reputation!"

"But people say that good birds choose trees to live in. Why do you want to follow Cao Aman, the eunuch? After my family's Duke Yuan came from a famous family and was the third generation of the three kings. If the Duke of the Mansion is willing to return, my Duke of Yuan is willing to sweep the tower and welcome him. In the future, the position of the governor of Yanzhou will be the Duke of the Mansion. When will the Duke of the Mansion be more?"

Looking at Guo Chongxian and Guo Mao's appearance of being thoughtful for his own good, Wang Hou's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

Indeed, this two-faced image of insatiable and double-faced person who was at the same time at both ends of the head and rat has always been painstakingly managed by him in front of Hebei, but where did he come from the place and persuaded him to surrender before he could find out the situation? And he was still drawing a cake out of thin air, the governor of Yanzhou! He was so generous!

Speaking of which, Guo Mao is still the same clan of Guo Jia. Compared with Guo Guicai, he has practiced too much short-term practice.

However, this has already involved a key step in Wang Houdong County's self-protection. He quickly cheered up, but he also raised his head high and shook his head with a loving look.

"Mr. Chongxian, after all, Wang has been deeply favored by Prime Minister Cao. How can he betray the Lord and seek honor? If you surrender, don't mention it again!"

"Wang Tuqiu, don't be ignorant of the politeness! General Yan Liang's 30,000 troops are right next to Hua County. Take down your ragged Puyang. In a short while, Duke Yuan is still interested in you. If you miss Duke Yuan's intentions, you will regret it!"

A typical person is a red face and the other is a white face. Guo Mao failed to persuade him to surrender. The slightly fat guy next to him, Xin Du immediately put down the half-eating fried fish and threatened him in a slight way.

But when Wang Hou heard this threat, he was not angry, but instead smiled and hugged his fists.

"Yuan is strong and Cao is weak, and the family of Yuan Gong's four generations and three kings is supported by scholars from all over the world. Once Yuan Gong goes south and the Yellow River is destroyed, Xu Du's change of ownership is a foregone conclusion. Wang naturally understands! But because of this, Wang cannot surrender to Yuan. Wang must perform his duties conscientiously and accompany Cao Gong through this last journey. If he wants to surrender to Yuan, he will also follow Cao Gong to surrender to Yuan! This is a loyal and righteous scholar!"

Wang Hou's words really made the six high-school soldiers in Hebei who were not even full of hair look at each other and couldn't speak. After all, loyalty and righteousness were the first virtues of scholars of this era. In addition, Wang Hou also praised Yuan Shao to heaven and said bluntly that Yuan Shao would win. He first occupied the commanding heights of morality, and then how could he persuade him to deny the merits and power of their lord Yuan Shao?

Just when Guo and Xin didn't know how to continue persuading, Wang Hou was released in front of several people with another step.

"However, although Wang is loyal to Mr. Cao, he still admires Mr. Yuan's virtues. After using this meal, Mr. Wang will give him a gift to Mr. Yuan. I hope you will take it back for Mr. Wang."

"Come on, although the wine in Dongjun is not as thick as that of Yecheng, it has a unique flavor. Please drink this cup!"

Wang Hou was so encouraging that things were broken, so he drew another big cake. At the same time, Guo Mao and Xin Du and others also raised their glasses and drank them with their heads.

The meal was quite delicious. After all, the charm of cooking was placed there. Later generations of restaurants were always cooking, and six scholars from Hebei were also treated to the guests and guests.

Moreover, the gifts Wang Hou took out really satisfy them. After dinner, he followed Wang Hou to the cellar of the prefect's mansion and looked down with a torch. A lot of shiny things suddenly shone into the eyes of Guo Mao and the others.

It’s not a precious candlelight treasure, armor! It’s all armor!

There are 2,000 sets in total! All of them are made of steel armor carefully made on Wang Houfuniu Mountain, with fine scales, two sleeves and two pants, two heart protection glasses inlaid on the center of the scales on the chest, and underneath are several long strips of armor that are the same as the belly of the lobster.

He picked up a piece of armor casually, and Wang Hou drew his sword and slashed it. With a bang, he cut out a faint trace, all of which were good armor!

Don’t think that armor is not valuable in this war era. Regardless of Cao’s army, Yuan’s army, Lu Bu’s army, most of the soldiers who can wear armor are wearing armor or leather armor, just simply sew a string of armor on their chests. There are very few heavy armor, only the core parts of each family, or elite troops such as the tiger and leopard cavalry and the eleventh gang, can be equipped with it.

The role of heavy armor is also very obvious. In the battle of Xia Pi, even if the city was broken, Gao Shun still hindered Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong's nearly 10,000 attacks for several hours with more than 600 people in the camp. Wang Hou gave Yuan Shao two thousand heavy armor sets, which was even higher than that of 5,000 horses. In terms of political meaning, Wang Hou gave this country's heavy weapon to give it to others. Are you worried that he would not surrender?

What made Guo Mao even more happy was that Wang Hou was loyal to Cao Cao while using this powerful weapon to leave a way out, which shows that his pessimism about the battle between Yuan and Cao was not a false alarm. His dignified prefect of Dongjun was so pessimistic. Isn’t he even more anxious all day long?

He took out a few boxes of armor and tried it out. Guo Mao finally smiled with satisfaction, and clasped his fists at Wang Hou.

"Okay! We will definitely transport these armor back to Yecheng overnight and express the loyalty and righteousness of the prince's mansion to Mr. Yuan!"

"Thank you all!"

He bowed heavily with his fists, but Wang Hou himself also showed an old fox-like smile on his old face.

Fortunately, he is a time traveler, so he can survive in the gap between the two major forces! I read "Three Kingdoms" several times and read it several times. Later generations of later generations also caught a lot of masters who commented on the characters of the Three Kingdoms online. Even Wang Hou knew the weaknesses of his Hebei faction than Yuan Shao.

That is party struggle!

Yuan Shao had four generations and three ministers, his disciples and former officials were spread all over the world, and scholars all over the world rushed to surrender, which became his advantage and his fatal weakness. There was a saying in later generations that was well said, where there were people, there would be a world of martial arts!

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Tian Feng repeatedly advised others, but Yuan Shao refused to listen. It was not only because Yuan Shao was arrogant and could not listen to his advice. A large part of the reason was that Tian Feng was born in the local sect of Jizhou and was the least trusted faction among the Hebei faction! Guo Mao and Xin Du all had something in common in front of them. They were born in the Yingchuan sect, which was second only to Yuan Shao's hometown, Nanyang sect, and were most valued by him.

However, although they are the two factions with the most trusted and most powerful power in the four prefectures of Hebei, they are airborne troops after all, and their family power and heritage are far inferior to those of the local factions in Jizhou. So whenever they have the opportunity, the two factions will do their best to suppress the Jizhou faction, which is mainly Tian Feng and Ju Su. Take the example of welcoming the emperor. Tian Feng of the Jizhou faction and Ju Su tried their best to persuade Yuan Shao to welcome him, while Guo Tu and Chunyu Qiong of the Yingchuan faction tried their best to oppose it. In the end, Yuan Shao gave the emperor to Cao Cao.

Tian Feng's vision was so vicious that he could see that he was a disaster in Puyang. He would definitely suggest that he must be eliminated as soon as possible in front of Yuan Shao. Therefore, in order to get involved in the Yingchuan faction, Wang Hou looked for relationships everywhere, and even used Cao Cao's relationship, which led to the Puyang trip of Guo Mao and others today...

On the one hand, the trade in Puyang City will indeed benefit the Hebei tribes a lot. On the other hand, these two thousand sets of armor were transported to Yecheng. Even if they did not persuade them to surrender, the Yingchuan faction still made great contributions. With Guo Tu and Tian Feng fighting for themselves in front of Yuan Shao, Wang Hou believed that his Puyang would rest assured!
