Death Reincarnation Game Chapter 857: Han Tuo’s request
bsp;"The other party said he was in the Blackwater Army. What is his identity?"
After Su Peng smiled, he asked his subordinates.
"The other party didn't say anything, but judging from his appearance, he should have a high status. People around him are very respectful to him. I feel that that kind of respect is respect from the heart, so I judge that the other party is a person. The person who has real skills and is respected by others, based on the information I know, should be the new commander of the Blackwater Army."
Su Peng's men said to him.
"Oh?" Su Peng heard this and was a little surprised at the meticulousness of his subordinate. Su Peng looked at him and said, "What's your name?"
"My subordinate Ma Yong."
The subordinate Su Peng was happy when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Ma Yong... I remember, your name is dishonest. Although it is 'Yong', you don't look like a mediocre person. In this way, after returning to Liangzhou, you can follow Guo Lei for a while. If you are worthy of your appointment, I will promote you. You go down first and bring the people from the Suzhou Blackwater Army."
"Thank you, Lord!"
This third-class guest named Ma Yong was immediately overjoyed. He tried his best to show off, just to stand out?
Ma Yong was a very well-educated man. Although he was ecstatic, he did not behave awkwardly. He saluted Su Peng and went down to bring people over.
When the other third- and fourth-class guests saw that Su Peng had pointed out a clear path for Ma Yong, they were all envious. This Ma Yong had become famous so quickly.
Of course, this is also the benefit of serving the Lord personally. By the Lord's side, the Lord can quickly discover what abilities you have and then promote you.
Although there are no allusions about self-recommendation in this world, the principles are the same. Putting a pair of stones in your pocket will naturally not reveal anything. But if you are an awl, your sharpness will soon pierce the pocket and be discovered.
When those third- and fourth-class guest officials saw Ma Yong as an example, they also held a breath in their hearts and wanted to show their abilities in front of Su Peng.
Ignoring the psychology of these guests for the moment, Ma Yong, who went down, quickly brought a few people over.
Su Peng couldn't help but smile on his face when he saw the people Ma Yong brought, and he stood up. He held up his hands to the visitor and said, "Commander Han, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that we would meet again here."
As he spoke, Su Peng bowed his hand to the man.
There was also a smile on the capable face of the visitor, and he said: "When I first heard your name in Jianghu, I thought it was someone with the same name. Later I learned more about it. Only then did I dare to confirm, Su Jijiu , you kept it secret from me for a long time.”
The person coming was an old acquaintance of Su Peng. Han Tuo!
Su Peng laughed and asked Han Tuo to take a seat.
Han Tuo did not lose his etiquette. He returned the favor and waited for Su Peng to sit down. He sat down according to the guest's understanding.
Seeing this, Su Peng couldn't help but secretly praise Han Tuo for his sophistication.
Su Peng stood up to greet Han Tuo just now, but in fact it was not necessary due to etiquette. But because Su Peng had done things under Han Tuo before, Su Peng greeted him, which was considered as fulfilling the intention of his former subordinate.
It's just that Su Peng's status is different now. It's a courtesy to pay tribute to Han Tuo. It's not that his status is really lower than that of Han Tuo. The previous affiliation has been equalized under this tribute.
If Han Tuo doesn't know the depth and is really stingy and still thinks he is Su Peng's commander, then Su Peng has many ways to make Han Tuo understand the current situation clearly.
The shrewdness of Han Tuo lies in the fact that he understands the world so well. Su Peng gave him a break, and he accepted it. Then, he sat down according to the host-guest etiquette of equal status. This shows that , he understood that Su Peng's identity was different now, and he did not pretend that he was Su Peng's former commander.
In this way, both parties have a basis for sitting down and talking. If he still thinks that he is higher than Su Peng, then Su Peng will have no choice but to see him off.
As for the issue of Su Peng's martial arts, as long as Han Tuo was not a fool, he would have guessed that Su Peng was not telling the truth back then. The real situation is that Su Peng was probably included in the Zixia Sect's sect, and that is why he has the martial arts he has today. Achievements.
But these are no longer important to the two of them today.
After the guests and hosts were seated, Su Peng asked Han Tuo: "Isn't Commander Han leading the troops in Suzhou? It is said that the Blackwater Army is developing well in Suzhou, and Commander Han is not in Jiangning, but is here to attend the gathering of stars. Could it be that this place is really so attractive?"
When Han Tuo heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "I can't do it if I don't come... The Blackwater Army seems to be developing smoothly, but in fact it is stuck in a bottleneck. I am here to find out if there is some reinforcement."
"Oh? I don't know much about the situation in Suzhou. Please give Commander Han a detailed explanation."
Su Peng said to Han Tuo.
Han Tuo nodded and said: "To be honest, the Blackwater Army has developed very well in Suzhou. It not only captured Suyang City controlled by the Kongtong Sect, but also basically unified the entire Suzhou area, and is expanding outwards. Expansion, but the problem lies here, the momentum of the Blackwater Army... is too strong."
"Because the Blackwater Army's momentum is so strong, the surrounding states have stepped up their vigilance against Suzhou."
"Su Jijiu should know that the Blackwater Army's weapons and armor are basically made by themselves, so they never ask for help... However, Suzhou has few mines and only a handful of mineral veins, which are not enough for Suzhou's own use. Must purchase from another state."
"Originally, the Five Cities Alliance in Ganzhou has always had caravans to provide iron ore, copper ore and other ores to the Blackwater Army. The minerals in Suzhou are supplied by the Five Cities Alliance and are not in short supply. However, since I unified Suzhou , Long Shaoyang of Ganzhou was on guard against our Blackwater Army, and restrained the people of Ganzhou, no longer providing ore to Suzhou, while our Blackwater Army was expanding its army, whether it was ordnance, or armor and vests, they all consume a lot of steel. We can't find the ore at all, and we're at our wits' end."
"As for attacking Ganzhou, it is difficult for us to do it. The Blackwater Army's strongest combat power lies in horse warfare and is not good at attacking cities. And from Suzhou to Ganzhou, we have to walk a very long mountain road. We have no idea where We are not familiar with it, and it is easy to be ambushed in the mountains and forests, and there is no supply line, so we cannot attack Ganzhou in a short time... Now because of the ordnance, we are in trouble, almost trapped in Suzhou with no progress, and the people of the Kongtong faction are constantly giving We are looking for trouble, but we will not be able to wipe out the Kongtong faction for a while, so the entire Blackwater army is in trouble, and I am almost turning gray with worry."
"But not long ago, a group of people came from Jiangning County, claiming to be from Liangzhou. They had some contact with me, saying they wanted to open up the trade channel between Liangzhou and Suzhou. I inquired about it, It seems to be your subordinate Su Jijiu. It suddenly occurred to me that since Liangzhou discovered the demon world, many mines have been discovered, and Liangzhou is close to the inland sea. We can bypass some places by waterway and then enter the waterway. In this way, we can. Open up channels for transporting supplies to Suzhou.”
"The Suzhou navy also has a certain scale, but some powerful people along the river don't want to see us in Suzhou getting bigger. They often harass our trading ships, but our black water army takes the initiative to attack. They don't dare to make trouble. Coupled with Su Jijiu's power, they don't dare to act rashly. They can let Liangzhou ships go to Suzhou. I can't sit still when I have this idea. I have asked Su Jijiu's men to communicate with you, but they are. It happened that Su Jijiu came to attend the gathering of stars, so I came on his behalf.
Han Tuo told the cause and effect in one breath.
The foster father he calls is actually his real father, Mo Tianqing.
After listening to Han Tuo's words, Su Peng understood what happened. Calculating in my mind.
Liangzhou itself does not have a lot of ore, but it is enough for its own use. However, it has opened up the Demon Realm, and its resources have become richer.
Su Peng really had a lot of copper and iron ore, and they were all mined by the Liang family, a rice merchant.
Han Tuo's low profile today was just to get Su Peng.
Su Peng himself has no intention of holding on to the ore and not selling it to the other party. Suzhou is not a threat to him for the time being, so it doesn't matter if he sells the ore to the other party.
Su Peng was thinking about how to express his views to achieve his goal.
After thinking about it, Su Peng said to Han Tuo: "I received a message from my subordinates before. It is said that they had a conflict with a local force as soon as they arrived in Suzhou?"
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 rivers and lakes, and they were eaten by them, so We sent experts to attack Su Jijiu's men and heard that several people were killed."
Su Peng nodded and said: "Actually, the person who died is more important. He was the younger brother of one of my important subordinates. I have always sent this subordinate to be responsible for commercial internal affairs and foreign trade. Now his brother is dead. I need to reassure him."
"Su Jijiu means..."
Han Tuo looked at Su Peng and said to him.
"Commander Han, please take care of the matter of Sun Moon Hall. If my subordinates conflict with them, please Commander Han, please help me."
Su Peng said.
After hearing this, Han Tuo felt that it was not a big deal. Although he was somewhat interested in Ning Cai from Riyuetang, he also used Ning Cai to conquer the gang forces in Jiangning County for the purpose of taking a concubine. However, Ning Cai was not a Japanese concubine. The leader of the Moon Hall, Han Tuo, also knew that he would be happy to see someone attack the Sun Moon Hall at this time, so that it would be easier to control 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.
Hearing what Han Tuo said, Su Peng breathed a sigh of relief. Although he looked calm and relaxed on the surface, he was actually very concerned about Jiangning County's affairs.
It is Su Peng's established policy to attack and weaken Sun Moon Hall.
"In this case, I have no other request. The only thing is to ask Commander Han to pretend to attack the Ganzhou Five-City Alliance. This can reduce some of the military pressure on our Liangzhou."
Su Peng finally said that in fact, Su Peng did not really need this request, it was just released to disturb people.
"It should be."
Han Tuo said, Su Peng smiled and said to Han Tuo: "In this case, even if we have reached an alliance intention, the specific matters will be discussed by the people under us who are responsible for this."
Han Tuo nodded, stood up and said: "Thank you Su Jijiu. Well, it's already late today, so I won't disturb Su Jijiu's rest. I'll let my subordinates talk in detail in the past few days, and I'll Goodbye now."
"Commander Han is free to do so." Su Peng nodded. Han Tuo nodded slightly to Su Peng and left with his men.
Su Peng, who was left behind, narrowed his eyes... (To be continued...)
