Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

Zhang Chen said, patting Wu's shoulder.

Wu was stunned. The young master was only a teenager, why did he say these words today, and make people feel so relieved?

"Young master, don't worry, I will do my best and will not let you down."

Zhang Chen smiled and nodded, and Wu bowed and retreated.

Zhang Chen closed his eyes again and thought quietly.

Let Wu take care of the business, why not take this opportunity to travel around and get to know more people?

He was familiar with the Three Kingdoms, so he knew that Jizhou was full of talents, including Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, who were known as the "Four Pillars of Hebei". They were all first-class generals. In terms of civil officials, there were also Tian Feng, Ju Su, Shen Pei, Xu You, etc. Although they had some intrigues, they were all resourceful.

If it weren't for these people, how could Yuan Shao dominate the four states and achieve hegemony?

At present, the chaos has not yet appeared, and these people are still dormant in the wild, unknown to the public. If I can take the lead and recruit them, why worry about not being able to accomplish great things in the future? Even if I can't recruit them, it's good to leave a good impression on them.

Humph! In this life, since Jizhou has me, you Yuan Benchu ​​has nothing to do!

However, the book does not record the residences of these people in detail, so where can I find them?

Zhang Chen couldn't help but think deeply.

By the way, all news is most widely spread in the streets and alleys. Gao Shun has been wandering on the streets for a long time, so he might know some clues.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chen immediately called Gao Shun.

Of course, he didn't say what he really thought, but only said that he always admired talents and asked if there were any knights and celebrities living in seclusion in the nearby area so that he could go to visit them. If there are any difficulties in the future, it will also be better to have more connections.

Gao Shun did not doubt it after hearing it. He thought for a moment and said, "Since you asked me this question, I remembered someone. He is skilled in archery and horse riding and is quite brave. He also has 800 private soldiers under his command, all of whom are brave and courageous!"

"There are private soldiers!" Zhang Chen was shocked when he heard it.

Zhang Chen knew that raising private soldiers was tantamount to treason, which was a serious crime in all dynasties.

But at this time, the Han Dynasty was already corrupt, and selling official positions and titles was common. As long as you raise some people under your command, as long as you don't rebel blatantly and open up all the connections, no one will pay attention.

Private soldiers are different from bandits and rabble-rousers. They are all formally trained.

Zhang Chen was surprised and asked immediately, "Who is this person and where does he live? Brother Gao, please tell me quickly."

"Ten miles east of the city, there is a Qujiazhuang, whose owner is called Qu Yi. It is said that this person is from Xiliang. In his early years, he fought against the Qiang people and was familiar with their tactics. He was very good at archery and horsemanship."

"Qu Yi!" Zhang Chen was shocked.

It turned out to be him! In that case, the eight hundred private soldiers were the famous "first-come, first-served soldiers"!

In the battle of Jieqiao, Qu Yi led eight hundred first-served soldiers and defeated more than ten thousand cavalrymen of Gongsun Zan, including his most elite "White Horse Volunteers"! After that battle, Gongsun Zan was devastated and was soon destroyed by Yuan Shao.

Unfortunately, after this battle, he was proud of his achievements and did not take Yuan Shao seriously, and was eventually killed by Yuan Shao.

I didn't expect such a person to be right next to me.

I had to go and meet him no matter what.

"Father, prepare a generous gift for me. Go with me to visit the owner of Qu Manor tomorrow."

"Yes!" Gao Shun took the order and left.

The next morning, as soon as Zhang Chen woke up, he heard a system prompt.

[Ding! Successfully traded cloth with Wang's business, obtained 50,000 silver coins, triggered the effect of the term "Fortune and Prosperity", increased income by 100%, silver coins +100,000! ]

[Ding! Purchased 500 stones of grain, spent 30,000 silver coins, triggered the effect of the term "Good Management", reduced expenses by 20%, silver coins -24,000! The quality of grain is improved to refined grain, and the price is increased by 20%! ]

Haha! The effect of the superposition of these two terms is really amazing!

[Good Management] can not only reduce costs, but also improve the quality of goods. If the quality of goods is improved, the price will increase, and [Fortune and Prosperity] can increase the final income by 100%. This combination of punches has multiplied the original profit several times. How can the Zhang family not prosper?

Zhang Chen was very proud. He absolutely believed that in the near future, Wu Guanjia would give him a very amazing result!

And by then, his "noble man" should be coming soon.

While thinking about it, Gao Shun came to see him, saying that the gifts were ready and asked when to visit Qu Yi.

Without further ado, Zhang Chen and Gao Shun immediately hitched up the carriage, went out of the mansion, and went straight to the outside of the city.

Zhang Chen sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and concentrated, thinking secretly in his heart.Although Qu Yi did not appear much in the Three Kingdoms, he still knew him.

He first surrendered to Han Fu, then betrayed Han Fu and surrendered to Yuan Shao. In terms of loyalty, he was definitely not loyal, but if we say "a good bird chooses a tree to live in", he still had some ability to judge people.

He knew how to judge the situation and abandon the dark and join the light, which showed that he was motivated by profit. It would not be wrong to prepare a generous gift.

Gao Shun drove the carriage on the official road, and Zhang Chen sat in the carriage, with the sound of "ding ding" in his ears.

After such a while, Zhang Chen heard the system prompts one after another.

It seems that Wu's housekeeper is doing well. In just one day, he has facilitated several big deals. With the help of [Fortune and Prosperity], Zhang Chen made a lot of money, which was very refreshing!

However, the "ding ding" prompt sound that always came to his ears was extremely annoying. Zhang Chen immediately summoned the system and asked if he could stop prompting.

The system naturally agreed to Zhang Chen's request in a very humane way, and also added an [Assets] page, which Zhang Chen could call out at any time to check his asset values.

"Whoa!" Zhang Chen heard a horse neighing as he reined in his horse, and the whole carriage shook.

"What happened!" Zhang Chen was shocked and was about to get off the carriage. Suddenly, with a "whoosh", a feather arrow shot into the carriage and passed by Zhang Chen.

Then, there were waves of weapons blocking.

"Young Master, be careful, there are assassins!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a few muffled sounds, as if something was buckled on the top of the carriage.

The next second, there was a "click" sound, and the whole carriage was torn apart. Zhang Chen was unstable and immediately rolled off the carriage.

At this time, a dozen masked men in black suddenly appeared on the hillside on one side, each holding a bow and arrow, and shot at them.

In an instant, arrows fell like rain.

Gao Shun quickly protected Zhang Chen, using his knife to block the arrows one by one, and then grabbed one with his backhand and threw it back.

With a muffled groan, a man in black was hit by the arrow and rolled down the hillside.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Shun jumped up the hillside and fought with those men in black.

At this moment, a dozen masked men in black suddenly emerged from both ends of the official road!

They all held steel knives and rushed towards Zhang Chen.

Eye of Insight, open!

Zhang Chen opened the Eye of Insight, and the information of these people immediately appeared in front of him.

[Name: Liu Erhu]

[Owned terms: Bandit (white), Three-legged cat (white)]

[Name: Ding Erniu]

[Owned terms: Bandit (white), Low-level thug (white)]

…

Pah! They are all garbage, none of them can fight! Huh? !

Zhang Chen looked around and suddenly found a few unusual people.

[Name: Huang Yong]

[Owned terms: Houseboy (white), Able to fight (white)]

[Name: Huang Meng]

[Owned terms: Houseboy (white), Low-level thug (white)]

…

Houseboy? And the surname is Huang? Humph! Very good, very good!

Zhang Chen smiled slightly, and immediately took a step towards the person closest to him, and punched him on the bridge of his nose as fast as lightning.

The blue term [Extraordinary Strength] can greatly increase strength. The punch immediately broke the man's nose bridge, and blood gushed out of his nose.

Zhang Chen took the opportunity to grab the waist knife and chopped at the people behind him.

"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!" The weapons collided, and the people felt a huge force coming, their palms were numb, and they couldn't hold the knives in their hands.

At this moment, Zhang Chen had already caught up with them. Without waiting for the reaction of the few people, he raised his knife and cut the necks of the four people.

Blood splattered, leaving a beautiful arc on the walls on both sides.

I... killed people...!!!
