Chapter 44: Get Back the Hairpin

Si Yingying looked at Qian Xiaoxing with anger and scolded: "Big gangster..."

Qian Xiaoxing touched Si Yingying's little hand, which was white and tender, and said, "Touch twenty taels, which means I can only touch it if I have money."

Si Yingying replied, "Okay, whoever wants to collect money from you? If you have money, please write more people in Liufeng City. Lu Shengzhong just told me that the basket of money that was blackmailed by Hu Fei has been retrieved. Now I am going to send it back to everyone. Just look at this box of things."

"Really, that's great." Qian Xiaoxing looked at the basket in the car and couldn't help but recall the scenes at that time. The people took out all their last little money and goods, and many of them were commemorative. At that time, I thought I was too sorry for them, and I always owe them in my heart. Now I heard that all the money and goods have been retrieved, and finally the trauma of the people can make up for the people.

"Also, the factory belonging to the Qian Group is only in the Liufeng City area. Guandu has been taken back. People around Guandu must also find ways to make everyone live a good life." Si Yingying suggested.

Qian Xiaoxing felt pressure after hearing this. King Si asked him to deal with Hu's 300,000 troops. Si Yingying asked him to create benefits for the people. Although those who are capable work harder, they are still unable to do anything. However, as the chairman of the Qian Group, this responsibility should be taken. Moreover, the number of troops is increasing, and the expenses are increasing. Only a strong economy can support the Xiongwu army. After thinking about it, he replied: "Okay, I will set up a few more factories to supply the troops' weapons and equipment, and we will manufacture them in our own factory. You can take the time to call Xu Liang and Yang Sishi over and I will talk to them."

"Okay, I'll do this for you. Why are you lying down again? You can't stand if you sit, and you can't sit if you sleep. You can't really enjoy it." Si Yingying looked at Qian Xiaoxing and cursed.

"How hard I work hard and tired, I have to take the opportunity to relax." Qian Xiaoxing said with a smile.

Not long after, the carriage entered Liufeng City. Lu Shengzhong brought the basket from the carriage and put it in the center of the city, shouting loudly: "Friends, three months ago, the money and goods you donated to redeem for the redemption of others have now been returned from Hu Fei. Come over and collect them all."

Soon, the people surrounded him. Lu Shengzhong poured out the money and stuff in the frame and spread it flat on the bluestone floor. Everyone looked for their own items from it.

"Heiya, that's your hairpin, go get it." A woman pointed to a hairpin in the middle and said.

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing picked up the hairpin and remembered that the hairpin was a relic left by Hei Ya's mother, so he walked up to Hei Ya, put it on carefully and said, "Thank you Hei Ya, I, Qian Xiaoxing, will never forget your kindness in my life."

Hei Ya lowered her head and said embarrassedly: "I did nothing, you are the great benefactor of our State of Si."

"Although it is a small hairpin, I know that this hairpin is of great significance to you. You can donate it for me. I will always remember this friendship." Qian Xiaoxing said with emotion.

"We are all grateful for you when you catch Hu Fei, and we will always remember yours." Hei Ya replied.

Si Yingying walked over and said, "It's good that you will remember each other. Brother Xing, don't forget the people of Si State, and the people will always support you."

Qian Xiaoxing nodded seriously: "Yes."

After a while, all the money and goods were collected. The people were very happy to see that they had taken back in their arms. Qian Xiaoxing felt relieved. The emotional debt finally came to an end.

On the way back, Qian Xiaoxing did not sit in the carriage, but sat in front of the carriage with Lu Shengzhong. Because of some problems, he wanted Lu Shengzhong to ask for advice.

"Brother Zhong, if we occupy Panlong Pass this time, Hu will definitely send troops to fight. How long do you think their troops will arrive at Panlong Pass?" Qian Xiaoxing asked.

Lu Shengzhong replied: "I have considered this question for a long time. It takes ten days for the fast horse to be reported from Panlong Pass to Hu Guoshan. Then, Hu will prepare the army and arrive at Panlong Pass at least twenty days, so we have one month to prepare for it."

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing began to think. Although he had one month to prepare, it was almost impossible to resist the 300,000 troops of Hu. Qian Xiaoxing suddenly felt very stressed about the future. Si State had only 4,000 soldiers and had to deal with the enemy that was seventy or eighty times more than him. How could he win?

Seeing Qian Xiaoxing silent, Lu Shengzhong asked, "Seventh Brother, what are you thinking?"

"I heard from King Si that Hu State has at least 300,000 troops. I think if they come to attack, they will not be dispatched all 300,000." Qian Xiaoxing asked tentatively.

"I can't confirm this, it depends on what the Emperor Hu said." Lu Shengzhong replied.

"It will definitely not cost 300,000," Qian Xiaoxing thought for a while, and suddenly became clear in his heart, saying: "First, the two neighboring countries of Hu are Lin and Yan. The reason why Hu has so many troops is to prevent attacks from these two major countries, so the key forces should be distributed on the borders of these two countries."

After hearing this, Lu Shengzhong nodded unstoppablely and said, "Yes, that's why Hu State in Panlong Pass sent two thousand soldiers to protect it, because it's difficult for our State of Si to protect itself, let alone in invasion, but Hu State was wrong this time."

Qian Xiaoxing nodded and continued, "Second, theoretically speaking, the attack on Panlong Pass can be taken down by ten times our troops. If I am the Emperor of Hu, I will send 40,000 to come. If I send 300,000, wouldn't it be better to kill chickens and use a ox knife? Moreover, the expenses on the road of the 300,000 army are also quite large. I don't think the Emperor of Hu will be so stupid."

"Seventh brother is right, then do you think they will only send 40,000 troops here?" Lu Shengzhong asked.

"This is just the most conservative estimate, but for safety reasons, more may be sent here, but I think it will not exceed 100,000 at most." Qian Xiaoxing analyzed.

"Well, after your analysis, it is true. Hu State came to attack this time, which should be between 40,000 and 100,000 people. However, even if 40,000 is ten times that of ours. Even if we defend, there will be heavy casualties. When Hu State comes to another 40,000, we will not have so many troops to defend Panlong Pass, and Panlong Pass will be in danger." Lu Shengzhong said worriedly.

"I will find a way to deal with this. As long as it is not 300,000, I can deal with it. Brother Zhong, don't worry." After Qian Xiaoxing predicted that the opponent's troops would have a clear idea. Although it was difficult, it was not impossible.

"Okay, within that month, I will train new recruits quickly and give you a well-trained and highly morale unit." Lu Shengzhong said.

After hearing this, Qian Xiaoxing reminded: "But the troops cannot only focus on military training. Ideological and political work must continue to be implemented and popularized. Our 2,000-man troops had good quality and the soldiers' emotions were very stable. I hope our troops are a unit that dares to fight tough battles and fight hard."

"Yeah, I will implement this."
