Chapter 256 Super Trafficker
"Dude, why do you want a bearskin hat? Do you wear it yourself?"
"Of course not. This thing is heavy and hot, and I don't want to suffer. This is for soldiers. Only the best soldiers have the qualifications. Every bear-skin hat is one foot tall, they will look more majestic and eye-catching!"
"One foot high? How heavy is that?" Chen Yuanyuan widened her eyes in surprise. "It would take almost a whole piece of bear skin to sew one out. Which soldier has put it on and his neck is not broken."
"Hahaha, it's okay, the soldiers must be rushing."
Gu Zhenhua was full of confidence. The bearskin hat was one of the symbols of the Royal Guards in later generations. The one-foot-high hat was majestic and evil, absolutely cool. If we traced back, the bearskin hat was the first of the French, and it was the equipment of the Napoleon Guards. After the Battle of Waterloo, the British put the seized spoils on their heads with smugness, which became the tradition of the British army.
Give your guard a tall bearskin hat, this is the standard for elite soldiers, this is the Warriors' patent! What the troops need is constant competition and competition, and the bearskin hat is a lottery, inspiring soldiers to continue to advance.
Of course, Chen Yuanyuan didn't understand Gu Zhenhua's thoughts, but she still worked hard. After thinking for a long time, Chen Yuanyuan could start the work and help her cut the bear skin open, and chose the softest and most relevant part, and then sew it.
After more than two hours of use, a bear-skin hat that was one foot tall was sewn. Gu Zhenhua held the hat in his hand, which was very important. Chen Yuanyuan did put in his mind. The top of the hat was small and the bottom was large. There were two inclined surfaces on the front to form an edge, which looked very visually impactful.
"Dude, the bear has too many furs, so it may not be good to wear jewelry."
"Well, it looks good this way." Gu Zhenhua smiled and put his hat on his head. He immediately became much taller.
"Yuanyuan, what do you think?"
"Whatever the prince wears is beautiful."
Gu Zhenhua immediately smiled happily and hugged Chen Yuanyuan in his arms.
"After all, Yuanyuan, your craftsmanship is good. God has given you a delicate heart. Why can't I think about it anymore when I get to myself? What a big deal. Is it worth pursuing death? Are you willing to leave for so many good days in the future?"
A little bit of tears slid out of his eyes and rolled down to his cheeks, shining particularly crystal clear.
"Well, as long as the Duke of the State does not dislike me, I will live well!"
Gu Zhenhua gently kissed the beautiful woman's forehead and said with a smile: "I have neglected you these days. Let's go back to the coach's mansion first. I have to ask for advice on how to make a hat tonight."
"This is useful, discuss..."
Chen Yuanyuan raised her head in confusion and immediately saw Gu Zhenhua's joking gaze. She understood everything in an instant, and her face turned red with shame.
Gu Zhenhua pulled the shy Chen Yuanyuan and got on his carriage. The two returned to the coach's mansion. Gu Zhenhua settled Chen Yuanyuan behind and then arrived at the front hall. It happened that Li Xu, Xie Bin and the others rushed over at this time.
When they saw Gu Zhenhua, they greeted each other, and Li Xu even smiled and said, "Mr. You are hiding at home for leisure, but we are very busy. Since the Chinese New Year, we have been summarizing the battle and then training. We all sweat more often in normal times and bleed less during war. The training is very harsh. On the contrary, you, the head of the family, hid in the mansion, is so enviable!"
Xie Bin also smiled and said, "That's right. Even Li Zicheng couldn't stand it anymore. He sent a hundred thousand troops here. It depends on what you should do with the Duke?"
"Hahaha, 100,000 native chickens and tiles, do you have no confidence to solve the problem? Do you still need Benjue to take action in person?"
Li Xu smiled and said, "To be honest, we didn't take Li Zicheng seriously, but at least there are 100,000 people, so it's not difficult to solve it!"
Gu Zhenhua smiled all over his face, turned around, picked up the bearskin hat and smashed it hard in front of him.
"Everyone, what do you think this is?"
Yue Polu smiled and said, "Dude, isn't this just a hat? It seems that it is made of dog skin?"
"It's not like the skin is so big, black, and shiny, it should be a bear skin." Xie Bin said.
Gu Zhenhua nodded, and Yue Polu smiled and said, "Dude, why are you doing such a big hat? How troublesome are you wearing it on your head?"
"This is not for me, but for my brothers." Gu Zhenhua laughed and said, "When we were reorganized last time, we formed five guard regiments. This is not enough, and we need to expand vigorously. Moreover, the guards must also be divided into levels, including the most battles, the most creditworthy and loyal soldiers, and the old guards were selected to form the old guards. These old guards were qualified to wear bearskin hats, and others had no power at all."
Old Guard? Bearskin hat?
In an instant, everyone present was energetic and their eyes turned back and forth on the special hat. Yue Polu even put the hat on his head and felt it for himself.
“Is it comfortable?”
"It's comfortable, it's too hot." Yue Polu said as he wanted to take off his hat, but Xie Bin grabbed him.
Xie Bin surrounded Yue Polu for a few times, his eyes shining, as if he had found a wolf, which made Yue Polu fur all over.
"I tell you, I'm not afraid of you in terms of martial arts!"
"What are you thinking!" Xie Bin said: "Look at it, this hat may be too tall, too big, too abrupt. But once hundreds of people wear hats and put them together, how amazing the team will be."
Li Xu also reacted at this time and hurriedly said, "Dude, this bear-skin hat is really good. I think it's not just for the old guards. Each unit is divided into some points, so that the soldiers have the standards for their efforts."
Zhou Yingjie also said: "Yes, I think every soldier will send one, so that it will be majestic!"
Gu Zhenhua laughed and said, "Do you know, a bear-skin hat is going to kill a bear, how can it be made casually? The bear-skin hat is only given to the old guards, which is not something that cannot be discussed, but the old guards are determined by the final decision. This time, dealing with Liu Zongmin is a part of the assessment."
Gu Zhenhua said: "I hope you all have the ability to stand alone. Even if I don't come to the battlefield in person, you can still easily deal with the enemy. Liu Zongmin is a whetstone. Whoever does it well will have the opportunity to wear a bearskin hat!"
When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly shone. There is still a lottery, so they can't fall behind.
"Mr., give me the mission."
"I'll order."
"I can do it too!"
In an instant, everyone started to fight. Seeing his subordinates so excited, Gu Zhenhua laughed.
"The old guards will be commanded by the Lord in the future, but if any of your subordinates has more old guards, it will prove which unit can fight. Next, they will expand and change their clothes, and they all enjoy priority."
Gu Zhenhua burned another fire, and the people present became even more lively. They rushed to the front and no one was willing to give in. People fought for a breath of incense. In the Anguo army, the concept of honor had gradually formed, and they were all salivating for the cool bear-skin hat.
Seeing that everyone was almost quarreling, Gu Zhenhua smiled and said, "This time I will send only 10,000 people to deal with Liu Zongmin, Li Xu will be the commander-in-chief. Xie Bin will be the deputy commander-in-chief. I will be waiting for you to successfully solve these 100,000 people in Kaifeng!"
"Don't worry, Duke Guo, I will do my best!"
After the arrangement was made, Li Xu and Xie Bin hurriedly led the team to rush towards Luoyang.
Along the way, they kept getting information about Liu Zongmin. All the news came, and everyone was locking their eyebrows tightly. They were secretly saying in their hearts that Dashunjun was very ignorant.
At the beginning, Gu Zhenhua agreed with them that 100,000 chariots of grain would be exchanged for 100,000 labor. Li Zicheng was unwilling to do this business, especially Niu Jinxing added fuel to the fire and fanned the flames, Li Zicheng almost directly led his troops to Henan.
Of course, Li Zicheng also knew that their newly defeated soldiers could not compare with the elites of An Guo army's battles. Therefore, Li Zicheng came up with an idea and sent them over, but among these people, there were elites of the Dashun Army, and let General Liu Zongmin lead the team himself.
First, under the guise of exchanging labor for food, they confuse the Anguo Army. As long as they enter Henan smoothly, they can do whatever they want, find an excuse to hold their troops in a random manner, and then openly eat Anguo Army.
Anyway, as long as they survive the winter, they will be able to get out of the predicament.
Liu Zongmin is still very confident in this plan. Since An Guojun wants to cooperate with the Dashun Army, they will not completely break up, and they will naturally fill their stomachs.
In fact, when the army entered Henan one after another, An Guojun did provide a lot of food. The hungry ghosts finally saw the food, and more than a dozen people died that day.
Liu Zongmin even had a big bowl of wine, and ate it with big mouthfuls of meat, and was extremely happy.
After eating for more than ten days, the food was decreasing, and even the wine and meat were cancelled, and Liu Zongmin's face became darker and darker. Finally, that morning, when the soldiers brought a pot of porridge that could count, Liu Zongmin completely broke out.
"What does An Guojun want to do? Are we going to starve to death? I will argue with them, not give food, nor do I see what I am doing. I will steal your grandsons!"
Liu Zongmin found Luoyang angrily, and happened to be at this time Li Xu also rushed over with his men. Liu Zongmin found Li Xu directly.
"Food, food, food! Where are the food you promised? Do you still want to be an ally? Do you want to starve Grandpa Liu to death?"
"Hahaha, General Liu is calm. I'll ask me to ask what's going on. Let's discuss it carefully."
Soon, an official in his early thirties rushed over. He was Zhu Chenghai, who was the first batch of military farm officials. Due to his outstanding political achievements during this period, he was promoted to the director of the Luoyang Military Control Commission.
After meeting Liu Zongmin, Zhu Chenghai was neither humble nor arrogant, and said with a smile: "General Liu, according to the agreement at the beginning, these 100,000 people are laborers, and they are to work, not to take the military pay."
"So what if you do a job? You can't starve to death. If you don't look at it, you don't even have anything to do. I'm not starving to death!"
"General Liu, you misunderstood again. We did prepare food, but this food was not in Luoyang."
"Where is this? I still have to go and pick it up in person?"
Zhu Chenghai smiled and took out a document from his arms and sent it to Liu Zongmin.
"It knows me, but I don't know him. Just tell me what you have."
"Yes, according to the original plan, these people are from Nanyang, which means that we have prepared food along the way. If you walk one stop, you will get the supplies for one stop. Who made General Liu stay in Luoyang for a long time?"
"Let me go to Nanyang, I won't go!"
Li Xu also knew that the Dashun Army would not submit, so he smiled and said, "General Liu, whether to go or not is the coordination of the above. We are all leaders of the army, don't worry. Aren't you short of food? I can allocate some from the army."
"Then I would like to thank General Li for his kindness!"
"I didn't say that we were allies, but General Liu, we were not rich in food and could not open up the supply. We could only send our fellow men to bring the food and do it for you personally. What do you think?"
Liu Zongmin didn't expect anything else to do, so he smiled loudly and said, "Someone cooks for you, that's great, Liu is waiting!"
Li Xu did not break his promise. From the next day, An Guojun's kitchen squad entered Liu Zongmin's army. Three meals a day were not rich, but at least he could eat enough.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and An Guojun once again delivered food on time. A 14 or 15-year-old soldier was holding a bowl of porridge and holding steamed buns and immediately.
At this time, Zhu Chenghai, who was wearing makeup and becoming a food soldier, smiled and grabbed him.
"Can this brother eat enough?"
"Eat full? I haven't known what it means to eat for many years. Just don't starve to death."
"Hahaha, little brother, you can't say that. How old are you? It's the time to grow up. If you don't eat and drink well, you won't grow tall in your life and you won't even get married to your wife."
The soldier frowned and said in frustration: "Sir, who is willing to go hungry? I really can't do anything about it. Everyone is like this."
"I tell you, it's different if there is a place. An Guojun asked you to go to Henan to work in Nanyang, so that you can control food and accommodation, and also pay a 20,000 meat oil every three days."
"Ah?" Xiaobing was surprised: "What, why didn't you say this? They just told us that there is food in Henan, and nothing else said."
"Hahaha, little brother, it's not too late now. From here to Nanyang, we have people along the way. As long as you leave the military camp and walk east, someone will be specially welcomed to you."
"Thank you sir!" The soldier turned around and ran away, hiding in the corner, eating no porridge and steamed buns in his hand, and saliva was constantly secreting from his mouth. If there was a piece of meat oil and touching the steamed buns, how beautiful it would taste!
