Small Landlords of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 15 022. The Beginning of Power
"What's wrong, big brother?"

At dinner time, Zhao Feng was left alone when the whole family arrived. Wang Hao turned to look at Zhao Yu and asked curiously.

"Brother has been sleeping in the room since he came back in the afternoon. I asked Niuniu to invite him a few times, but he said he has no appetite. Could it be that there is something in the ranch..."

Zhao Yu was also at a loss. Wang Hao didn't know what to do by himself during this period of time. Zhao Feng was responsible for everything in the ranch. Except for Zhang Ren coming back to pick up the fruit, Zhao Feng was responsible for everything else. There are a lot of things to do to expand again, but with the experience of last time, everyone is handy. All the old craftsmen from the village on the other side are helping, so there should be no major problems.

After dinner, Wang Hao went to find Zhao Feng with a jug of wine, and Zhao Feng drank alone with the wine, thinking that Wang Hao was a transparent person.

"Brother, what's the matter, you can't talk about it, sister-in-law, did I do something wrong to make you unhappy?"

Wang Hao looked at Zhao Feng with a puzzled expression.

"Sister-in-law don't need to think too much, no matter what happens to you this time, it's my Zhao family who unfortunately had such a rebellious son..."

Zhao Feng took a sip of strong wine before shaking his head and smiling wryly, it turned out that Zhao Feng received a letter from Zhao Yun a few days ago, but Zhao Feng planned to break up with him when he was in Yuyang, so he kept it from Wang Hao and his wife.

Today, when he went to the city to buy grain and oil, he met Zhao Yun again. The two brothers talked for a long time in the city. Zhao Feng originally thought that Zhao Yun had changed his mind, and planned to come back and help Wang Hao manage the ranch with him. Who knew that Zhao Yun was so stubborn. Changed to follow Liu Bei.

Wang Hao's fame is also accompanied by his wealth. It goes without saying that he helped tens of thousands of refugees in a harsh winter. It goes without saying that his financial resources are great. Zhao Yun also found out that a firm that recently engaged in fruit business outside the region is also under the command of his sister-in-law.

But now Liu Bei intends to wipe out the evils of the Yellow Turbans. Recruiting soldiers is a trivial matter, but the food and pay are a little short. Zhao Yun thought about asking Wang Hao to help Liu Bei. Zhao Feng.

To be honest, Wang Hao was also very disappointed with Zhao Yun, and Zhao Feng really hated Zhao Yun to the core. Wang Hao told Zhao Yun that there would be a Yellow Turban Rebellion after the Chinese New Year, and Zhao Yun bet that such a thing would not happen. In the place where the chaos is the worst, Zhao Feng's family is really lucky to survive.

During the journey north to Youzhou, Zhao Feng saw how many wives and children were scattered and their families were destroyed, and how many innocent people were displaced and starved to death on the streets. What is even more frightening is that in many places, the army even killed the refugees and turned them into gangsters to take out the yamen to receive rewards. Zhao Feng thought I shudder even thinking about it.

And what Zhao Yun did at this time, he didn't care about his brothers and sisters in Changshan County, and ran to Youzhou to join the army after going down the mountain. He didn't think about the life and death of his family. Among them, he pretended to be benevolent and righteous.

Later, the brothers reunited outside Yuyang City. He thought that Zhao Yun would know his mistake and follow Wang Hao. The family would find a place to live a stable life for a few days, but Zhao Yun wanted to go south with Liu Bei, leaving a letter without saying goodbye and leaving them behind. Yuyang.

At that time, Wang Hao was injured by an arrow in his left shoulder and Zhao Feng was limping and had trouble moving. Only Zhao Yu was left as a woman, and Niuniu and sister Niuniu's family of five fell outside. That period was the hardest time for them. From Yuyang It took half a year to get to Jingzhou, not because of inconvenient transportation but because they didn't have to spend money. They sold so much fruit in Yuyang to buy the carriage, and they had to suffer so much all the way to Jingzhou.

Now Wang Hao has settled down in Jiangxia and made a fortune with his own ability. Not only did he get his name and heal his feet, but he was also honored as a filial piety by giving charity and doing good. He is also a well-known figure in Jingzhou. Funding, even if Wang Hao agreed to Zhao Feng, he would not agree.

"So the second brother has arrived in Jiangxia?"

There is nothing to say about Zhao Yun and Wang Hao. At first he had no power and could not protect himself, so he used the method of betting to keep Zhao Yun, but Zhao Yun did not accept his solicitation, and Wang Hao did not have any capital at that time.

Now Wang Hao has counselors like Xu Yuanzhi under his command. Although Zhang Ren is not outstanding in government affairs, he does have a way of running the ranch business. Now he has established a chamber of commerce to settle the refugees adopted by Wang Hao in various places. He also has certain military skills. Strength, even if it's just an ordinary guard, this is the soldier Wang Hao can nestle in his hands.

In terms of generals, Huang Zhong has promised Wang Hao that he will resign from his position as the gatekeeper in Changsha after a while, and return to the ranch to help Wang Hao train the guards. After all, the business must have the background of military force. Besides Huang Zhong and Dian Wei Well, this guy has always kept the betting in mind, as long as Hua Tuo cured his mother, this fierce general will never escape.

So Wang Hao now has dispensable needs for Zhao Yun. As for whether to support Liu Bei, Wang Hao is unwilling in his heart, not because he looks down on Liu Bei or is angry with Zhao Yun.
It's that he doesn't like to fund Liu Bei to kill people. Except for Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Guanhe Department, the Yellow Turban Army is just refugees.

The next day, Zhao Yun brought Liu Bei and three people to visit Wang Hao. Zhao Feng didn't want to see Zhao Yun, so he ran to the back mountain and worked with the craftsmen in the village on the pasture.

Zhao Yu was very happy to see Zhao Yun, and even prepared a banquet for them. As Zhao Yun's sister-in-law, Wang Hao naturally had to attend, but this time Wang Hao also brought Dian Wei with him.

"I haven't seen Brother Wang for a year, but now he is famous all over the world. He gives porridge and rescues and promotes filial piety. As the queen of Zhongshan King Jing..."

At the wine table, Liu Bei started acting again, crying and saying that he has the world in mind, full of ambitions to serve the court but frustrated,

Dian Wei saw Liu Bei was still crying at an old age, and couldn't help but taunted him, but Zhang Fei, a reckless man, heard him, and Zhang Feisui couldn't listen to others saying bad things about Liu Bei.

"If you are not convinced, you can make gestures. What does it mean to slap the table?"

Except for Wang Hao, Dian Wei was really not afraid of anyone, and he just liked soft goods rather than hard goods. Zhang Feiyue made him look down on Liu Bei every time he yelled at him.

"Third brother, please don't be reckless..."

Liu Bei's favorite thing to do is to be a good guy, but Wang Hao is not interested in his tricks, and smiles acquiescingly when Dian Wei provokes Zhang Fei.

In the end, the two of them had to compete in the courtyard. Guan Yu looked confident, and Zhao Yun and his sister looked at Wang Hao with some embarrassment, but Wang Hao pulled King Kong over to watch their fight. The King Kong family had to make a move.

Xiao Hei and the others are almost adults. Although they are not as strong as King Kong in terms of strength, they are enough to deal with Guan Yu and Liu Bei who are unarmed. Dian Wei can only be tied with Xiao Hui with his bare hands. This has been tested last night under Niu Niu's connivance. .
