Chapter 132 Eunuch Liu Wenzhong

Qinchuan finally returned from Sanshandun to the pass at the tenth level of the heads of Jiannu and the Tartars, plus the price of 100 stones of grain.

Once after passing the Great Wall, Lao Huang, Bobcao, Zhao Wu and Liao Sanqiu took twenty carefully selected Guandi Army to the southwest and headed towards Baitouguan and Kelanzhou.

They want to save Luo Wentian, regardless of whether they succeed or not, they have to give it a try.

At the same time, they were going to Kelanzhou to tie Xue Dongting's family. No matter men, women, young and old, they would tie them up.

It is related to the lives of his subordinates, and Qin Chuan does not want to be kind to anyone.

A huge grain transport team composed of hundreds of grain trucks naturally cannot escape the eyes of all the soldiers.

In fact, what happened outside the pass these days has long been spreading in the areas of Pinglu Guards and Weiyuan Guards.

The grain team left Sanshandun and just passed Moershan, they encountered an army head-on, with about 1,000 people. The leader claimed to be the general of Datong West Road Zhao Yong, who investigated the merchants and traveled along the way and captured spies.

Qin Chuan knew that the other party came for food and heads, and once they were investigated, something would inevitably happen. They only needed to arrest a few Mongolians and insist that they were Jiannu's spies, so they could blackmail him.

After letting the four hundred Guandi Army set up their formation, unsheathed the knife, bent the bow and arrow, Qin Chuan showed off his Baihulu.

Seeing his waist card, Zhao Yong still didn't get out of the way, saying that many Jiannu and Tartars recently pretended to be spies who were Ming officers and soldiers and invaded and robbed in groups.

Qin Chuan shouted "Those who blocked me died", and then led the Guandi army to force the other party step by step.

Zhao Yong didn't expect him to be so reckless and stayed there for a moment at a loss.

It was not until his four hundred Guandi army approached 100 steps that Zhao Yong panicked and hurriedly led his troops to retreat.

He just wanted to scare the other party and get some benefits. Even if he has the advantage of his troops, he would not dare to attack the other party. It would be no different from treason to attack friendly forces and plunder money and food. It would be a death sentence.

The scale of the battle of more than one thousand troops will definitely not be hidden from others. Once the above investigation is made, it will be difficult for him to protect his head if he doesn't mention the black hat.

What's more, even if he wants to start a war with the other party, his subordinates will still say whether they are willing to join the army.

After he led his troops back, the four hundred Guandi Army did not chase after him. He only confronted him two or three hundred steps, allowing the convoy behind to pass.

Seeing the truck of food, groups of military horses, and the heads of several large trucks, Zhao Yong was so envious that he couldn't help but step forward again, and asked the other party for some in a angrily voice.

Qin Chuan sneered and told the other party simply and clearly that no one should be taken away.

Zhao Yong was furious and almost couldn't help but attack him.

After finally suppressing his anger, Zhao Yong snorted and led his troops away.

Since then, Qin Chuan's return journey has been much smoother. After several days, he was intercepted again when he arrived at Jingping to guard the Thousand Households.

This time, the person who came was not his facial features, but a civil servant, Wang Hua, the inspector of Datong.

Wang Hua did not use tricks like Zhao Yong, but instead went straight to the point and said politely that he wanted to buy food and Jiannu's head.

Qin Chuan smiled and said that he would not sell the food, and he would not sell it no matter how much it was given.

The head level is OK, the Jiannu 20 taels and one tael, the Tartars 5 taels, and the purchase limit is 100 each.

This time, he killed more than 900 heads, including more than 400 Jiannu and more than 500 Tartars.

He did not intend to use these heads to be promoted, because he would be transferred if he was promoted.

There was almost no possibility of military officers being promoted to civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, so once he was promoted, he had to be a military officer who led troops to fight, either transferred to guard the border or suppressed bandits.

In a short period of time, he cannot leave Loufan.

But the necessary achievements are still needed, so he only planned to bring the Jiannu and the Tartar heads to Loufan for two hundred times, including the still alive Ashan and Touloush, who are much more valuable than the 100-level heads.

At that time, we must first see what kind of person the new governor Xu Dingchen is, and whether he can hand over the head through him.

If it doesn't work, then look for someone else to help you repay the merits.

The extra heads are to be sold, and everyone they sells to. If a customer comes to the door, it’s better to sell some as soon as possible.

Wang Hua calculated carefully. Twenty taels are not too expensive, and one hundred levels is only 2,000 taels. At most, you can buy a prefect for this amount of money, but the achievements brought by a prefect of a prefect at the top of a hundred real slaves are not comparable to those of a prefect.

Moreover, he couldn't finish the achievements of these hundred Jiannu heads alone, and he had to bring a few border generals with him. Those generals naturally had to respect him, and maybe they could earn back two thousand taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Wang Hua said "deal" neatly and started to order silver.

He naturally brought the silver, and brought as much as 5,000 taels.

Not long after, he took the heads of a hundred Jiannu and a hundred Tartars and left happily.

Qin Chuan had 2,500 taels of silver and continued to move south.

After a day of travel, when I arrived in Shuozhou, another group of people blocked the way.

The hundreds of real slave heads were like a pile of steaming shit, attracting a group of flies.

The one who stopped him this time was neither a civil servant nor a facial features, but a eunuch with a fair face, Liu Wenzhong, the military supervisor of Datong.

Liu Wenzhong was not many people, only two or three hundred, and he actually set up a banquet in a grass pavilion on the side of the road and stood on the side of the road to greet Qin Chuan.

After hearing his subordinates report on the identity of this person, Qin Chuan couldn't help but lit up.

If the other party is a military eunuch, he can send the memorial to Tianting directly, without passing the governor of Shanxi or the Ministry of War. The possibility of being concealed and tampered with is much smaller.

This is a partner that can be made on the basis of interests.

Immediately, he asked the Guandi Army to leave a cart of heads, and then escorted the convoy to take the lead. He only brought a hundred Guandi Army and rode his horse towards Liu Wenzhong.

"Welcome to Lord Qin for his triumphant return, and congratulate Lord Qin for his progress."

From a distance, Liu Wenzhong said with a sharp voice.

Qin Chuan dismounted and bowed with a smile: "Qinchuan, a hundred households in Ninghua, Xiaguan, have met Eunuch Liu."

“Hey.”

Liu Wenzhong held Qin Chuan's hand and led him to the Caoting Pavilion, while saying, "One of you and I supervise Datong, and the other one is stationed in Ninghua, Shanxi. The place where they belong is different, so naturally there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates."

"It's better to call us brothers. Brother, I'm a few years older than you, so I'll call you brother, how about you?"

Qin Chuan felt chills in his heart, and hurriedly continued the opportunity to salute, pulled his hand back, and bowed: "Thank you for your father-in-law's promotion, Qin Chuan is more respectful than obedient."

"Hahahaha, okay, Brother Qin, please, you and I will not return until we are drunk today."

When Liu Wenzhong's sharp voice burst into laughter, everyone seemed to be harsh.

Qin Chuan followed him into the grass pavilion and sat down. Liu Wenzhong poured a glass of wine for Qin Chuan himself. After pouring a glass of wine, he raised his glass to Qin Chuan and said, "This cup is something that I respect my brother. I am unparalleled in wise and brave. I use my troops like a god. I attacked and killed 1,300 Jiannu with 600 iron troops, and won a great victory, killing the enemy, and promoting the prestige of our Ming Dynasty. This is the most important achievement since the rebellion of the old slaves in Jianzhou."

After saying that, Liu Wenzhong raised his head and drank the glass of wine.

Then he poured a glass and said, "This glass is to congratulate you and I have a good time today. I met each other and talked about the wine. Come on, Brother Qin, let's have this glass together."

Qin Chuan did not take the cup, but took out a leather wine pot from his waist and said apologetically: "Brother, I'm sorry, brother, I'm not used to drinking soju. I only drink the blood of the Tartars and horse milk wine. Let's use this horse milk wine to have a drink with my brother."

"Hahahaha, OK, Brother Qin, I've done it."

Liu Wenzhong didn't mind either, so he just took the lead and was poured into his mouth.

Qin Chuan also raised the wine pot and snuffed.

This wine pot was seized from Ashan's waist. It was made of some leather. It was very delicate and beautiful. Qin Chuan looked at it and hung it around his waist.

It contains Mongolian horse milk wine, and I fell in love with it while drinking it on Qinchuan Road.

However, he did not drink Liu Wenzhong's glass of wine because he liked horse milk wine, but because he was afraid that the wine would be poisoned. Who knew if there was poison in the glass?

After a drink, Qin Chuan asked straight to the point: "Brother Liu is waiting here for those Jiannu heads."

Liu Wenzhong looked a little embarrassed and soon laughed: "Brother Qin is indeed generous and speaks quickly. Yes, brother is the heads who are doing this."

"Since that's the case, Brother Liu should have heard that Qin sold 100 yuan to the Datong Prefect Wang at the price of 20 taels of real slaves and 5 taels of Tartars."

"I know." Liu Wenzhong nodded, "But my brother doesn't plan to buy the head with money, but... my life and future."

Qin Chuan frowned: "How do you say this?"

"I probably don't know yet. A few days ago, Lord Wen, the Grand Secretary of Dongge and Prince of Jin, impeached Brother Qin to rob the house and cause disaster to the village. The emperor has sent two groups of troops to Jingle and Lan County to investigate the matter. All the way is Lord Du, the commander-in-chief sent by the new governor of Shanxi, Lord Xu, and the other way... Haha, I don't even know who my brother is."

"Just that my brother does in Jingle and Lan County, I'm afraid I can't hide it. Even my brother's hundreds of real slave heads will probably only become the achievements of others. It won't take long, my brother, you can't save the black hat on your head."

"But if Brother Qin is willing to let some heads come out, I will definitely go straight to the heaven to listen to me, and I will report to my brother Ming to fight the enemy bravely. I will also love the people in Loufan County as if they are honest and diligent in their political achievements, and even... the other teams who come to Jingle to investigate can help me manage some things."

"At that time, let alone this black hat of a sixth-rank 100 household, even a commander or commander of a third-rank 4th-rank tutor or commander will be given by hand."

Hearing his words, Qin Chuan was not in a hurry to respond, but lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Liu Wenzhong was not in a hurry, so he could only drink wine with great pleasure.

After a long time, Qin Chuan suddenly asked, "How many heads do you want?"

Liu Wenzhong stretched out his two fingers: "Two hundred true slaves, two hundred Tartars."

"So many heads are worth 5,000 taels of silver, too much."

"Then... how much can Brother Qin give up?"

Qin Chuan stretched out a finger: "A hundred true slaves, one hundred Tartars, and... I want the two adults, Dong Liang of Ninghua Qianhu Institute and Xue Dongting, commander of Zhenxiwei, to have something to do. Don't let them die, just need them to be dismissed or demoted."
