Chapter 857 Han Tuo's request
"Did the other party say he is in the Black Water Army, what is his identity?"
After Su Peng laughed, he asked his subordinates.
"The other party didn't say it, but judging from his appearance, he should have a good status. The people around him were extremely respectful to him. The subordinate felt that the kind of respect was respect from the heart. Therefore, the subordinate judged that the other party was a person with real skills and respect. According to the information he knew, he should be the new commander of the Black Water Army."
Su Peng's men said to him.
"Oh?" Su Peng was a little surprised at the meticulousness of his subordinate when he heard this. Su Peng looked at him and said, "What's your name?"
"I belong to Ma Yong."
When Su Peng heard this, he was delighted, but his face did not show it.
"Ma Yong...I remember that your name is not honest, although it is called "Yong", but you don't look like an ordinary person. In this way, after returning to Liangzhou, you follow Guo Lei to do things for a while. If it is acceptable, I am promoting you. You go down first and bring the people from the Black Water Army in Suzhou."
"Thank you, Lord!"
This third-class guest named Ma Yong was suddenly overjoyed. He tried his best to show his strength, but wasn't he trying his best to stand out?
Ma Yong was very well-educated. Although he was ecstatic, he did not act in a vague manner. He bowed to Su Peng and went down to bring people.
The other third-class and fourth-class guests were envious when they saw Su Peng giving Ma Yong a clear path. Ma Yong had made a fortune so quickly.
Of course, this is also the benefit of serving the Lord in close proximity. If you have any abilities around the Lord, the Lord can quickly discover and promote you.
Although there is no allusion to recommend yourself in this world, the principles are the same. Putting a pair of stones in your pocket will naturally make you unable to see anything. But if you are an awl, your sharpness will pierce the pocket and make people discover it.
When those third and fourth-class guests saw Ma Yong as an example, they also held their breath in their hearts, wanting to show their abilities in front of Su Peng.
Not to mention the psychology of these guests for the time being, Ma Yong quickly brought a few people to him.
When Su Peng saw the person Ma Yong brought, he couldn't help but smile. He stood up and bowed to the visitor and said, "Commander Han, it's been a long time since I saw you. I really didn't expect that I would be here when I gathered again."
As he said that, Su Peng bowed to the man.
The person who came was so capable also showed a smile on his face and said, "When I first heard your name in the world, I thought it was a person of the same name and surname. Later, I found out more details. I dared to confirm, Su Jijiu, you have been hiding me for a long time."
I saw that the person who came was Su Peng’s old acquaintance. Han Tuo!
Su Peng laughed and asked Han Tuo to sit down.
Han Tuo did not lose his etiquette. He gave a gift and waited for Su Peng to sit down. He sat down according to the guests' understanding.
When Su Peng saw this, he couldn't help but secretly praised Han Tuo's skill in the world.
Just now, Su Peng stood up to welcome Han Tuo, but in fact, etiquette was unnecessary. It was just that because Su Peng had done things under Han Tuo, Su Peng greeted the other party and was as if he had been his former subordinate.
But Su Peng's identity is different now. He also respects Han Tuo as he respects Han Tuo. It is not that he is really inferior to Han Tuo's identity. His previous subordinate relationship has been even under this respect.
If Han Tuo doesn't know the depth and the thrust is really a big thrust, then Su Peng has some methods to make Han Tuo understand the current situation.
Han Tuo's cleverness is that he understands the worldly ways too well. After Su Peng let him go, he suffered this. Then, he sat down according to the courtesy of dating equally. This shows that he understands that Su Peng's identity is different from the past and has not shown the airs that he was Su Peng's former commander.
In this way, the two sides have the basis to sit down and talk. If he still thinks he is superior to Su Peng, then Su Peng will have to see off the guests.
As for Su Peng's martial arts issue, as long as Han Tuo is not a fool, he has guessed that what Su Peng said was not the truth back then. The real situation is that Su Peng is likely to be included in the Zixia Sect and has achieved today's martial arts attainment.
However, these are no longer important to the two people today.
After the guests and guests of both sides sat down, Su Peng asked Han Tuo: "Didn't Commander Han lead troops in Suzhou? It is said that the Black Water Army has developed well in Suzhou. Commander Han is not in Jiangning. He came to participate in the star meeting here. Could it be that this place is really so attractive?"
When Han Tuo heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "I can't come... The Black Water Army looks to be developing smoothly, but in fact it is stuck in a bottleneck. I'm here to find out if there is some strong support."
"Oh? I don't know much about the situation in Suzhou. Please tell me in detail, Commander Han."
Su Peng said to Han Tuo.
Han Tuo nodded and said, "To be honest, the Black Water Army has developed very well in Suzhou. Not only has it captured Suyang City controlled by the Kongtong Sect, it has also basically unified the entire Suzhou area and is expanding outward. But the problem lies here. The Black Water Army's momentum is too strong."
"Because the Black Water Army is so powerful, the surrounding states have been more vigilant against Suzhou."
"Su Jijiu should know that the Black Water Army's armour is basically made by itself, so the military equipment has never been very suitable for people... However, Suzhou has few mines and only a handful of mines, which are not enough for Suzhou to use. It must be purchased from other states."
"Originally, the Five Cities Alliance in Ganzhou has always provided caravans with iron ore copper ore to the Black Water Army. The minerals in Suzhou are supplied by the Five Cities Alliance, which is not short of them. However, since I unified Suzhou, Long Shaoyang in Ganzhou has been prepared for our Black Water Army and restrained the people of Ganzhou and no longer provided ore to Suzhou. Our Black Water Army is expanding its army. Whether it is weapons, armor and vests, they are all big heads that consume steel. We can't find ore at all, and we are at a loss."
"As for attacking Ganzhou, it is difficult for us to do it. The strongest combat power of the Black Water Army lies in the fact that it is not good at attacking cities. From Suzhou to Ganzhou, we have to walk through a very long mountain road. We are not familiar with it, and we are easily ambushed in the mountains and forests, and there is no supply line, so we cannot attack Ganzhou for a short time... Now because of the weapons, we are in trouble and almost have no progress in Suzhou. In addition, the people of the Kongtong Sect keep causing trouble for us, and we will not be able to wipe out the Kongtong Sect for a while, so the entire Black Water Army is in trouble, and I almost turned white."
"But not long ago, a group of people came to Jiangning County, claiming to be from Liangzhou. They had some contact with me, saying that they wanted to open up the trade channels between Liangzhou and Suzhou. I inquired about it and it seemed that it was Su Jijiu, your subordinate. I suddenly thought that since Liangzhou discovered the demon world, many mines have been discovered, and Liangzhou has relied on the inland sea. You can bypass some places from the waterway and then enter the waterway. In this way, you can open up a channel for transporting materials to Suzhou."
"The Suzhou naval army also has a certain scale. However, some powerful people along the river do not want to see our Suzhou grow up and harass our merchant ships from time to time, but with my Black Navy attack, they dare not act rashly. With Su Jijiu's power, they dare not act rashly, so they can let Liangzhou ships go to my Suzhou. I have this idea and can no longer sit still. I have invited Su Jijiu's subordinates to communicate with you, but they say that Su Jijiu came to participate in the star meeting, and the adoptive father happened to receive an invitation. I came for my adoptive father."
Han Tuo told all the causes and consequences in one breath.
The adoptive father he mentioned was actually his real father Mo Tianqing.
After hearing Han Tuo's words, Su Peng understood the incident and became scrupulous in his mind.
Liangzhou itself does not have a lot of ore, but it is enough for its own use. Instead, it has opened up the demon world and the resources have become richer.
Su Peng has a lot of copper and iron ore, and they are all handed over to the Liang family for mining.
Han Tuo was so in a low position today that he wanted to get Su Peng.
Su Peng himself had no intention of blocking the ore and not selling it to the other party. Suzhou did not threaten him for the time being, and it didn't matter if he sold it to the other party's ore.
Su Peng thought about how to say it can achieve his own goal.
After thinking about it, Su Peng said to Han Tuo: "I have received a message from my subordinates before. It is said that they had just arrived in Suzhou and had a conflict with a local force?"
Han Tuo nodded and said to Su Peng: "It is an organization called Riyuetang. At first, the people in Riyuetang thought that Su Jijiu's subordinates were begging for food in the world, and they had eaten it. So they sent experts to attack Su Jijiu's subordinates and heard that several people died."
Su Peng nodded and said, "In fact, the dead person is more important. He is my younger brother. I have always sent this subordinate to be responsible for business and internal affairs and foreign trade. Now that his younger brother is dead, I need to calm him down."
"Su Jijiu means..."
Han Tuo looked at Su Peng and said to him.
"President Han, please take care of the matters of Sun and Moon Hall. If my subordinates have conflicts with them, please help me."
Su Pengdao.
After hearing this, Han Tuo felt that it was not a big deal. Although he was interested in Ning Cai of Riyuetang, he also used Ning Cai to subdue the gang forces of Jiangning County in the sense of taking a concubine. However, Ning Cai was not the helm of Riyuetang. Han Tuo also knew that someone attacked Riyuetang at this time, and he was happy to see that it would be easier to subdue in the future.
"I understand. If it's just this matter, I know what to do. Su Jijiu can rest assured."
Han Tuo said to Su Peng.
After hearing what Han Tuo said, Su Peng felt relieved. He was calm on the surface, but actually cared about the affairs of Jiangning County.
Striking and weakening the Sun and Moon Hall is Su Peng's established policy.
"In this way, I have no other requirements. The only thing is to ask Commander Han to act as a feint to attack the Five Cities Alliance of Ganzhou, so that it can alleviate some of the military pressure in our Liangzhou."
Su Peng finally said that in fact, Su Peng did not need this requirement particularly, but was just released and disturbed.
“It should.”
Han Tuo said, Su Peng smiled and said to Han Tuo: "In this way, even if we reach an alliance intention, let's wait for the people under our two sides to discuss the specific matters."
Han Tuo nodded, and he stood up and said, "Thank you, Su Jijiu, that's not too late today, so I won't disturb Su Jijiu's rest. In the past few days, I'll let my subordinates talk in detail, so I'll say goodbye first."
"Master Han is free." Su Peng nodded, Han Tuo nodded slightly to Su Peng, and then left with his subordinates.
