Chapter 102
The guests in the hotel all seemed to be full of thoughts. They looked at him twice at first, but then they started talking to each other again.
Only one person was heard sighing and saying: "The emperor's army has set off to Liaodong again. This time there are still millions of troops. I don't know how many people will come back."
Another person sighed: "Although the rebel Wang Bo in Changbai Mountain was wiped out by General Zhang Xutuo, his "Wuxiang Liaodong Death Song" was not nonsense. I don't understand why the court wasted so much.
What’s the point of fighting for so much money and so many lives against the Liaodong Kingdom?”
"Speaking of it, General Xutuo is really brave. With only 2,000 men, he defeated an enemy of 100,000. He captured Wang Bo in one battle and killed his uncle and thief Liu Ba Dao in another battle. He was invincible in every battle he pointed at. A few days ago
We have also surrendered Guo Fangyu's 100,000-strong army, and I no longer have to worry about the banditry in Shandong."
"I heard that in the Hebei area, the officers and soldiers were also victorious. Two generals named Gao Shida and Sun Xuanya each had 2,000 troops. They captured Hao Xiaode alive, killed the demon leader Zhang Jincheng, and wiped out three rebels.
More than 100,000 people."
"The emperor has issued a decree to reward these three generals heavily. I think the bandit trouble will be quelled soon with their efforts."
Someone slapped the table and cursed: "That Zhang Jincheng is simply a beast. In Julu County, Wu'an, and Qinghe, every time a city is captured, it will be massacred. The corpses are scattered all over the field, and the blood flows like a river. One morning
He could kill tens of thousands of innocent people, but fortunately two generals killed him!"
"I also heard that the three generals Zhang Xutuo and Gao Shida and Sun Xuanya, every time they go to battle, the whole army is in plain clothes, and they don't know who they are wearing mourning for. This is really strange to say."
"You don't know this." At this time, a shy guest with a big belly led a horse to the door of the hotel and said with a smile: "I just came from Chang'an, and I know the things here best.
The three generals Zhang, Gao and Sun are all invincible generals, but do you know that they are all subordinates of the same person?"
"How do you say this?" Everyone asked in surprise.
The shy man with a big belly, looking like a merchant, with two followers behind him, came over and sat next to Qin Hu. He sighed and said, "You don't know something. These three generals were originally from humble backgrounds.
The army only serves as a vanguard centurion for others to drive, but then they met a man."
"who?"
Everyone was surprised, not to mention that these three people were from the same sect. When they heard what he said, their eyes became even more enthusiastic, and they all looked forward to him talking quickly.
The merchant slapped his thigh and said, "This man is the Champion Hou Qin Xiaohou Ye."
"You also know that Mr. Qin Xiaohou was killed by robbers half a year ago. The emperor specially excused himself from the court for three days for him. Zhang, Gao, and Sun had powerful soldiers who all came from the sect of Mr. Qin.
Well, love is deep and righteous.”
"When they heard the bad news, they howled incessantly. General Zhang Xutuo even cried until he vomited blood, so the three of them ordered the three armies to go out to fight for Qin Xiaohou."
"Those six thousand soldiers, every time they go out to fight, must be fully clothed and shout, 'Little Marquis, the heroic spirit is not far away.' Therefore, every time they fight, they are extremely brave and sturdy, attacking cities and villages, and destroying all strongholds."
"That's it!" Everyone nodded. There was little information in this mountain. If this person didn't tell them, they really wouldn't be able to figure out the key to this.
The merchant became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, and said with great joy:
"Zhang Xutuo is even more brave. He defeated Wang Bo and others in seven battles in Shandong. However, the rebels Meng Rang and Zuo Xiaoyou still have more than 300,000 mercenaries. At present, Meng Rang has fled to the south, and Zuo Xiaoyou is fighting
Considering that he has many troops and horses, he looks down upon General Zhang Xutuo. He has assembled an army of 150,000 in Gugou Mountain, Shandong, and the war is about to break out."
"The two generals Sun Xuanya and Gao Shida have also suffered a slight setback in Hebei recently. I heard that there is a thief named Sun Anzu, and he has a general named Dou Jiande. This man is cunning, wise, and brave in combat. At present, the two sides have entered
In the stalemate stage, the outcome is uncertain."
It turned out that they really thought I was dead.
Hearing this, Qin Hu was shocked and thought to himself, it turned out that Dou Jiande had come out of the mountain, and he was afraid that Brother Sun and Brother Gao would be defeated.
Brother Zhang Xutuo has nothing to worry about. The so-called Meng Rang and Zuo Xiaoyou are just ordinary bandits, and they are by no means Zhang Xutuo's opponents.
At this time, Qin Hu's food and drinks had been served. After drinking a bowl of wine, he felt that his heart was much clearer, so he interrupted and asked: "Brother, let me ask, do you know that this time the emperor went on an expedition?
Who should we use as the coach?"
The man glanced at Qin Hu and saw that he was unkempt and disheveled. His eyes became a little playful. He snorted coldly and said, "You beggar, would you know if I told you?"
Qin Hu sneered in his heart and said on the surface: "Everyone is chatting, I just asked casually. If brother doesn't know, just pretend that I didn't say anything."
"This is unreasonable. How do you know that I don't know? Let me tell you that this time the emperor appointed twelve marching commanders, and also appointed a hussar general to command these twelve marching commanders. This person is highly respected.
Chen Guogong is the old general Chen Xiaolian."
Everyone nodded, which showed that Chen Guogong's name was also very resounding in the minds of ordinary people.
At this time, someone else said: "I know the three generals Zhang, Gao, and Sun, as well as this old general Chen, but how come I have never heard of the little Marquis of Qin you just mentioned?
."
At this time, another person said: "How come you haven't heard of it? I heard that this man has a man named Wei Zheng who opened a bank in Shandong and Hebei with millions of taels of silver notes given by Qin Xiaohou.
There are hundreds of porridge factories, and a mountain of grain is transported there every day, giving alms to the victims, and the chopsticks are kept in place, and the people all applaud and praise them."
"That's right, I also heard that the common people of Hebei and Shandong all call Mr. Qin Xiaohou their benefactor. It's a pity that this man died young."
The boss brought a new piece of clothing to Qin Hu and sighed: "This young prince is really not an ordinary person. He can actually make people like Zhang Xutuo and Wei Zheng work for him. It's amazing."
Qin Hu had almost finished eating, so he stood up. He suddenly pointed at the two bad horses outside and said, "Shopkeeper, do you know who owns these two horses? I want to buy one of them for a hundred taels of silver."
It can be used as a foot strength."
"Are you telling the truth?"
Only the boss and the clerk knew that Qin Hu was rich, but the others didn't understand. They looked down on this little beggar at all.
Qin Hu immediately took out several banknotes from his arms and took the smallest one: "Of course I am telling the truth."
