Du Hongyu was still a bit gambling, so when Gao Jin left the General's Mansion, he received Du Hongyu's promise. In addition to Sun Tai, he would also transfer a group of craftsmen from the Military Weapon Bureau of Yansui Town to Hekou Fort, but the number was not large, only ten households.

After returning to the Liu Mansion, Liu Xun was extremely surprised when he learned about this from Gao Jin. Who would have thought that Du Hongyu was so arrogant that he actually wanted to regain Hetao, "Young Master..."

Liu Xun originally wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything at the moment. When the emperor of this dynasty first ascended the throne, Xianggong Zhang reported to the government, had sufficient treasury, and there were generals like Qi Yu, but he still could not recover Hetao. Although the Tumote tribe was at its peak at that time, the Mongolians in Hetao are now weak, and the Tumote tribe was not the overlord of the grassland that year, but the imperial court was also unable to make ends meet and could not afford to pay even the border silver.

Du Hongyu has ambitions, which is always a good thing for Liu Xun. If he and a warrior like Gao Jin have no war, how can he make a meritorious service and be promoted?

"Brother, you must seize this opportunity!"

In the end, Liu Xun just said this. With Du Hongyu's selfish desire to recover Hetao, Gao Jin was afraid that he could really let go of his hands and feet in Gubeizhai. Even if Du Hongyu's plan to recover Hetao was set in the future, Gao Jin could gain a foothold in Yansui Town with Gubeizhai. Isn't the force in the end relying on the walls?

"Brother Liu, don't spread this matter."

"Don't worry, brother, I know what to do!"

Liu Xun was very grateful to Gao Jin. Knowing the ambition of the eldest son Du Hongyu, he naturally knew how to get the appreciation of the eldest son so that he could gain more benefits in the future war.

The reason why Gao Jin mentioned Liu Xun was that Liu Xun had helped him, and the two were friends and allies, and he also hoped that Liu Xun could replace Xu Tong and become the Thousand Houses of the Shenmu Castle, so that he could truly let go of his hands and feet in many things without worrying about being constrained.

Gao Jin stayed in the Liu Mansion for a few days and called Chen Sheng and Yang Dayan to help train the Liu Mansion’s family horse team. Of course, he didn’t teach any martial arts. He just emphasized discipline over and over again. However, he was beaten back by Gao Jin. Liu Xun was also serious this time. Anyone who dared to question Gao Jin’s training would immediately make people get out.

On the martial arts field that the Liu family had been abandoned for a long time, the team of 60 people stood up straight, but with the command, they advanced and retreated with their spears and turned left and right.

Liu Xun himself had read military books, and of course he knew that the training of the military formation was the basis. However, he had never seen Gao Jin pay attention to military formation training to such an extent, so he was not very concerned about the military formation skills of soldiers.

"Brother Liu, these servants have the foundation to practice martial arts. You also know that there are actually no need for so many fancy martial arts on the battlefield. To be honest, when I was practicing military force by myself, the killer team's gun skills were enough to practice only six styles."

Below were Chen Sheng and Yang's big eyes urging the Liu family's servants to train, but Gao Jin told Liu Xun about his experience in training. He didn't mind revealing the so-called tricks, because of his training methods, most generals in Camel City could not accept it, and only those who were defeated like Liu Xun would be willing to try it.

"Brother Gao, when I was in martial arts, I was forced to read many military books. I also understand the truth you said, but how can we highlight the courage of the generals when practicing military forces like you?"

Liu Xun sighed. He suddenly remembered when he was a teenager. His grandfather once sighed that when Grandpa Qi was punitive in Jiliao Town, he thought of training the nine-sided army, but was resisted by the generals on the nine-sided side. To put it bluntly, this brother Gao has obtained the true teachings of Grandpa Qi's military strategy, and pays attention to the training and military formation discipline of the soldiers below, which is different from the way that their generals and his subordinates pay attention to the bravery and courageous fighting.

Liu Xun's words were not followed by Gao Jin. After the Tumu Fort Incident, the border generals and families were in accretion, while the serious officers and soldiers of the court became weaker and weaker. Now the generals led their troops to fight with their own servants as the core and the battalions as the auxiliary. The battle between the Camel City and the Tatars has always been relying on the generals' bravery and able to lead cavalry to attack the Tatars. The army has really reached more than 10,000. The two armies set up their formations to fight head-on, and the results are not very good.

Liu Xun was completely enlightened. He was not the source of command of the army. He would never be able to lead the family horse team to the forefront, and attack the enemy formation with the death of his life, so a method of training like Gao Jin was more suitable for him.

...

"Brother Gao, I haven't seen you for a few days. I never thought I had missed your happy event!"

In the evening, in the mansion of Mr. Guan, in the villa where Gao Jin was temporarily living, Gao Jin met Fan Xiu'an, the shopkeeper of the Suide Merchant who was originally quite handsome, now he looks very haggard.

"Brother Fan, I'm sorry, there was indeed an emergency at that time, so I can only..."

Gao Jin said apologetically, after all, he had promised Fan Xiu'an and came to Camel City after Fan Xiu'an was ready.

"What are you and me doing so politely?"

After Fan Xiu'an entered the city, he went to his own warehouse in Camel City and carefully investigated Gao Jin's situation. He knew that Gao Jin had bloody washing Tuo Front Street and killed 70 or 80 people without any trouble. He knew that Gao Jin was definitely the confidant of the Du family.

Others don’t know, but Fan Xiu’an understood that don’t see that the General’s Mansion is in charge of Camel City. However, the imperial court set up a special governor of Yansui Town to control both civil and military affairs. The governor Liu in Yan’an Prefecture is not a good man. There are so many people who died in Camel City, and this news is unsustainable. However, after so many days, there has been no trouble in Gao Jin, which means that the Du family has solved the matter.

"This is a gift list for you and your younger siblings. Are you satisfied with it?"

Fan Xiu'an handed a list to Gao Jin. The items listed above were all the items needed by Hekou Fort such as grain, tools and equipment. He knew that Gao Jin had great ambitions, so it would be more practical to give gold and silver gifts than to replace them with these.

"It's still Brother Fan who understands me. Gao Jin led the people from Hekou Fort to thank Brother Fan."

Looking at the densely packed list of materials on the gift list, Gao Jin knew that Fan Xiu'an had invested a lot this time. Although these things were not as clear as Mulan, they were probably worth a thousand taels.

"Brother, you're ruining me."

Fan Xiu'an laughed, and finally it was worth it. Although Gao Jin was only a hundred households, his potential was much better than those thousands of households and commanders.

Regarding Gao Jin's storm in Camel City during this period, Fan Xiu'an kept silent, but instead talked about what he had done in the past few days. "Brother, your coal stove is really good. Now I have seen the powerful people in Shenmu and Fugu counties. They are all willing to cooperate with me to do this honeycomb coal business."

Fan Xiu'an was rich and powerful. After Gao Jin handed him the drawings of the coal stove and honeycomb coal that day, he immediately spent money in Shenmu County to ask all the blacksmiths to start working on iron-made coal stoves, and even the coal presser was poured with iron.

This time he got Gao Jin's news. When he rushed to Camel City, he asked his subordinates to bring hundreds of coal stoves that had been made, and all the honeycomb coals that had been stored were pulled over in a big truck.

Gao Jin also had to admire Fan Xiu'an's decisive and decisive methods of doing things. Shenmu County and Fugu County were the real powerful people who could hold large mines. These powerful people didn't even take Camel City seriously. You must know that they could often attract two or three thousand strong men, and even the General's Mansion might not be able to sell their face.

"Brother Fan, you are sure to convince General Du this time."

Gao Jin knew how big Fan Xiu'an was. If the business of honeycomb coal cannot be monopolized, it would be profitable. Fan Xiu'an wanted to be the business of the Fan family that monopolizes the business of this honeycomb coal. Of course, it must be coordinated with the General Office and the powerful people who occupy large mines.

"Don't worry, Brother Gao, I dare not say that I have 10% certainty, but there are 70% or 80% of them."

Fan Xiu'an said confidently that although the Du family has three generations of generals and two generals, it can be said that in this Camel City, they are still outsiders, and their financial resources are far inferior to those local veteran generals. The business he delivered to the door is not a small amount of money, but once it is done, the investment of tens of thousands of taels per year will be increased by the time the General Du can't refuse even if he rises up.

"Brother Fan, to be honest, I have something to ask for?"

"I just said it, I will never refuse anyone who can help me."

Fan Xiu'an had already found out what Gao Jin wanted, but he had just arrived at Camel City, so he naturally pretended not to know.

"Brother Fan doesn't know. I have offended many people in the Camel City now. I haven't even had a batch of weapons with my eldest son and I have to transport them back to Hekou Fort. I have to ask Brother Fan to help me send them back."

"This matter is easy to deal with. I have already transferred a batch of supplies and sent them to Hekou Fort, but only a few vehicles of weapons."

Fan Xiu'an agreed immediately. The news he found was more thorough than what Gao Jin knew. The Du family fought in the internal struggle and regarded Gubei Village as a bet. As long as Gao Jin could defend Gubei Village, his wealth would be expected next.

The two of them talked in the room for a while, and they didn't give up until Mr. Guan came back. Since he met Du Hongyu a few days ago, Gao Jin has been traveling between the Liu Mansion and the Guan Mansion, and has never been to the General again. After all, General Du is very "disgusted" him now. Besides, the relationship between him and Fan Xiu'an is not willing to let the other people in the Camel City know about it except the eldest son.

After dinner, Mr. Guan looked at Fan Xiu'an who gave him a generous gift and was very polite. The Fan family business is very powerful in Suidezhou and is one of the seven Suide merchants. Even the eldest son has to treat him with courtesy when he sees him.

"Since the shopkeeper Fan is a friend of Xiao Gao, he is also an old man's friend. I think it's better to choose a day than to meet the day. The eldest son is free tonight. If the shopkeeper Fan is convenient, how about we go to see the eldest son?"

"Let me listen to Mr. Guan."

Fan Xiu'an said with a smile. Although the Guan Master in front of him is old and may not be able to do it for long under Du Hongyu, some things are indefinite. If Gao Jin defended Gubei Village, this Guan Master would probably be very stable in the position of manager in the General Office.
