"Uncle Meng, have you seen troops training like this before?" Shang Chaozong asked.
Meng Shanming shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."
Shang Chaozong: "How about we select some people to come here and help with training?"
He didn't dare to underestimate the tricks here, and he felt that he could always come up with new and useful tricks.
Meng Shanming: "I don't know what I am practicing for. This kind of training method is not suitable for the enemy and us to fight head-on in the battlefield. A group of boys are clumsy. They have just begun. This should be some basic training. I don't know what tricks they will have in the future." I saw some clues at a glance.
Shang Shuqing, who was looking around, suddenly said: "Brother, Taoist Master is here."
Everyone looked back and saw Niu Youdao leading a few people there.
"Your Majesty has arrived, and you are welcome from afar. Mr. Meng, Mr. Lan." Niu Youdao approached and gave a gift. As for Shang Shuqing, forget it. Those who are here every day no longer need to be polite.
After a polite exchange between the two parties, Shang Chaozong asked Yuan Gang: "Brother Yuan, are you training troops?"
Yuan Gang: "That's right."
Shang Chaozong smiled and said: "This is the first time I have seen this kind of training. How about I send a few people over to learn from you?"
Yuan Gang: "Your Majesty, I'm just practicing for fun. It's not suitable for collisions in battle formations. Fighting in battle formations is not as good as the training at Prince's side. When it comes to this, Mr. Meng is an expert. If you have the opportunity, I would like to ask Mr. Meng to give some advice to these boys." Two." His eyes were quite expectant, because he had heard of this person's reputation.
Yuan Gang did not dare to underestimate a generation of famous generals who had been on the battlefield for a long time. This kind of person naturally had his own uniqueness. In some aspects, he did not think that his experience in his previous life could compare with this one.
Meng Shanming nodded slightly, "As long as you don't dislike my disability."
Yuan Gang immediately cupped his hands and thanked him in a rare gesture.
A group of people gathered around Meng Shanming, who was being pushed in a wheelchair, and walked and chatted around the prepared venue.
"What orders does the prince have here?" Niu Youdao asked.
Lan Ruoting answered: "Master Dao, it's like this. You have been to the secret place. Mr. Gongsun Tieniu brought a group of disciples out of the mountain to build weapons for the prince. There is a lot of open space here, Master Dao. There are also many mages, so we can take care of both, and it’s relatively safe, so I want to choose a place near here to open the furnace, what do you think?”
"I have no problem here." Niu Youdao agreed immediately, and then asked: "I wonder how the training of Yingyang Wu Liewei on the prince's side is progressing?"
After establishing a direct communication channel with Hai Ruyue, the woman kept asking about this matter. Even if he didn't ask, he was still very concerned and didn't seem to see much movement.
Shang Chaozong: "It can only be said that it is the preliminary start. We are selecting suitable sources of troops. The current problem is that a large number of cavalry requires a large number of war horses. The procurement of war horses is a problem. Tianyumen has sent people to Qi, which is rich in war horses. It’s up to the country to handle it, it’s just..." He shook his head.
Niu Youdao: "Not enough money?"
Lan Ruoting said: "In this regard, money is secondary. War horses are important military resources for any country. No country will allow war horses to be exported to other countries to threaten themselves. There will be obstacles along the way. The biggest The problem is that Qi State itself will control the export of war horses to other countries. The control is relatively strict. This is more troublesome. The news from Tianyumen seems to have encountered a lot of setbacks. It is said that it may not be possible in a short while. Come. Tianyumen didn’t say anything about the specific situation.”
"Oh!" Niu Youdao nodded. He understood and didn't say anything. Tianyu Sect has to make a lot of money from this, so he should be allowed to work hard.
Shang Chaozong and others were busy with official duties, and Qingshan County was in dire straits. There were many things to deal with. Niu Youdao was not as free as Niu Youdao, so he did not stay here for long. After some communication, he left.
However, as soon as we talked about Tianyumen, people from Tianyumen came.
Peng was there in person again in Fajia. He didn't go to the county town and came directly here.
Tianyumen would come. This was something Niu Youdao expected, so he withheld the wine.
On the cliff, the two parties met, and Peng cursed at the beginning of the meeting: "Boy, what do you mean by deducting wine? Do you want to regret it?"
Wine sales are booming, huge profits! This money is very comfortable to make. Who would have thought that the supply here would suddenly be cut off? You need to know that Tianyumen has already collected deposits from some customers. If they cannot hand over the goods by then, it will not offend just one or two people who can buy such expensive wine. People are not ordinary people, and they will get into trouble.
He immediately brought people over to solve the problem. With the manpower here, there was no way to deal with Niu Youduo. People from the three sects of Liuxian Sect were gathered here and it was not a vegetarian.
When it came to the wine, Fei Changliu and others standing nearby knew it well and knew that Niu Youdao was fighting for their interests.
"Master Peng, don't be anxious, drink some tea first to calm down the fire." Niu Youdao gestured for tea.
"Don't do this!" Peng waved his hand again, "Let me ask you, does the negotiated matter still count?"
Niu Youdao squinted at Bai Yao who was standing aside, "Didn't Bai Yao report my conditions to your faction?"
Peng said again: "Stop talking about it. Whatever the price is, it will be whatever price you agree on. You can change it however you want."
Niu Youdao: "That being said, when you eat meat, you have to let others drink the soup, right? They are also working for the prince..."
Peng was looking at Fei Changliu and others again and interrupted: "What have they done for the prince? If the territory is conquered, it will be my disciples of the Tianyu Sect who will die. It's okay for them to come here to take advantage. It's also a matter of deterring the outside world." I, Tianyumen, will take the responsibility. You let them tell themselves what they did for the prince after they came here? They didn’t do anything. Half of Qingshan County’s territory was given to them. I, Tianyumen, kept my word and promised. Things have been fulfilled, and now you want to reach out? Is there such a reason in the world? "
Niu Youdao: "Isn't it considered doing something to help the prince defend his territory and assist your Tianyu Sect?"
"Haha!" Peng sneered again, and finally sat down at the table, clapped his hand on his thigh, "Okay, there is no point in arguing about these different reasons. It is better to take practical actions. Now that Prince Yongping is The border needs a large number of war horses and cattle. Qi is a grassland land, and there is no shortage of cattle and horses. Master Fei, if you can buy the cattle and horses, it will be considered as you have done a good job. We have nothing to say if we give up this benefit. . Chief Fei, Chief Xia, and Chief Zheng, what do you think?"
Niu Youdao was speechless. He understood. Ganqing was not here to accuse anyone, but to take the blame.
I heard earlier that Shang Chaozong and others said that Tianyumen encountered some setbacks in doing this. Now it seems that the difficulty is not small, otherwise Tianyumen would not be able to give up the benefits so easily.
However, when it comes to this, how can the three factions shirk and refuse to do the work and still have to pay for it? It doesn’t make sense!
Niu Youdao cursed secretly, he was tricked this time.
He didn't expect that Tianyumen would suddenly pull this trick. He had been focusing on cultivation recently and didn't pay much attention to other things, so he was taken advantage of.
Without grasping the specific situation, he had no way to deal with it and was caught off guard.
"Master Peng, did the Tianyu Sect suffer a loss on the Qi side?" Niu Youdao said with a half-smile, also to remind the three factions.
Peng glanced at him again. Tianyumen had indeed suffered a lot from the Qi State. They spent a lot of money to buy a batch of war horses. They were stopped before they were sent out of the Qi State. He also lost hundreds of disciples one after another, which can be said to be a huge loss.
The Tianyu Sect wanted to go all the way to Qi State to run wild, but it was a little short of a fire. The sects on Qi State's territory who were guarding their territory were not vegetarians.
It happened that the price was going to be raised here, so the senior management of the sect discussed it and decided to blame the three factions.
They didn't think the three sects could accomplish things that even Tianyumen couldn't accomplish.
"It's none of your business. It's a negotiation between sects. You can go and cool off. I'm talking to the three sects. If they agree, my Tianyu Sect will give in to the profits. If they don't agree, why should I do all the hard work and hard work? Come on, they will take advantage of it?" Peng put Niu Youdao aside in one sentence.
"Haha!" Niu Youdao also sneered, with a look of contempt on his face.
Peng was very shameless at this time. He pretended not to notice and took the tea and drank it slowly.
Fei, Xia, and Zheng frowned. Although they had never done anything about getting war horses from Qi, they knew it would be difficult, but Tianyumen offered this as a concession, and they couldn't refuse.
The three of them temporarily stepped aside and discussed for a while.
After returning, Fei Changliu said: "Your Majesty is in need, so of course we will do our best for this. It's just the money to buy cattle and horses. Who will pay for it?"
Peng pointed at Niu Youzai again and said: "He is willing to pay to support the prince to restore people's livelihood. How can we, Tianyumen, sit back and watch? We also agreed to the prince to provide money to support the purchase of war horses and cattle. As long as you can get it, this money Let me go out of Tianyumen."
This is no lie. First of all, the huge profits from drinks gave them the confidence to invest. When they have money, they will naturally be generous. Without new financial sources, it is impossible to spend this money. Secondly and most importantly, Tianyumen wanted to take the territory of Nanzhou as their own, and also wanted to gain greater gains.
In the final analysis, no matter whether the three factions can get things done or not, Tianyumen will be the winners and will not suffer losses, otherwise they will not easily give in to the three factions.
Fei Changliu and the other two looked at each other and finally nodded together, "Okay, it's settled."
The two parties negotiated this and signed the agreement on the spot at Tianyumen's request.
There was no other way, since the three factions all agreed, Niu Youdao could only release the wine that had been withheld.
Head Peng made a trip in person and settled the matter easily. He didn't bother to stay here, so he just took the drinks and left.
After watching the people from Tianyu Sect collect their drinks and leave, Niu Youdao sighed softly, "I'm afraid it will be troublesome for you to take on something that even Tianyu Sect can't handle."
Xia Hua smiled bitterly: "We also know the trouble. He said this, how can we refuse?"
Zheng Jiuxiao sighed: "Just do your best! If we can't do it, there's nothing we can do."
Niu Youdao turned around and asked them, "Have you ever handled the purchase of war horses?"
The three of them all shook their heads, and Fei Changliu said: "I've probably heard of it, and I know it's a bit troublesome, but I've never been involved in such a thing."
Niu Youdao pondered and said slowly: "Then let's do it first. The prince will have to solve the matter of the war horses sooner or later. It's better for your people to go to Qi State to find out the specific situation first. If it really doesn't work, we will find a solution later." ,.
