The Chanyu of the Southern Huns, Yufuluo, came on horseback with a group of guards, but what made Pei Mao a little unexpected was that Yufuluo actually had a knife stuck in his waist instead of a knife. The gold-painted fan was taken out and fanned twice from time to time, which made Pei Mao feel as if a bull's head was facing a horse's mouth.
However, compared to Tu Geilai, Yuvluo was not so eager to participate in the war, saying: "General Zhao doesn't know something, and Xiao Wang has some difficulties here... Now that Qiu Mu is coming, we only know There is no way to raise livestock, and there is no way to grow crops. The people are few and scattered. If we recruit more people, we may not be able to reproduce, but what can be done? In addition, there is a shortage of soldiers and iron. This... is indeed a bit difficult..."
Zhao Yun glanced at Pei Mao. Before, he could be said to have taken charge of all matters of Yinshan. Now that people's livelihood has been given to Pei Mao, it is natural that Pei Mao is needed to make this decision. This is why he brought Pei Mao with him.
Pei Mao understood. Anyway, he and Zhao Yun had already gotten along with each other when he came and knew what to do, so he did not discuss anything with Zhao Yun again, but just said directly: "There is no need to worry about farming and animal husbandry now! Although we are close neighbors, we are actually one family. If Shanyu feels that he is short of manpower now, he might as well follow the previous policy and send some writing staff to help! As for iron tools, Shanyu can rest assured that he will not use Shanyu's tools. I’ll bring my own!”
When Humphrey heard this, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no! How can we bother each other when we are one family? If not, please send some craftsmen here. Isn't this convenient for everyone?" "
"Craftsman?" Pei Mao and Zhao Yun checked the colors.
Zhao Yun closed his eyes expressionlessly and said nothing.
Yu Fulo looked at Zhao Yun and Pei Mao nervously. How to choose between "fish" and "fishing", Yu Fulu could understand to some extent. Although it was said that Han people came to help before, but as soon as the Han people left, he himself His subordinates still knew how to do it, and they didn't say that it was because the Han people helped with the sowing and weeding. These guys who were accustomed to animal husbandry could learn it after just seeing them a few times. Moreover, their subordinates never knew how to smelt iron. This means that whether it is weapons or agricultural tools, we always need to rely on the Han people. If one day they are gone, no matter how much they have in stock, they will rust, wear out and be completely consumed every day.
Therefore, it is best to have your own craftsmen, so Yuvluo thought of taking this opportunity to deduct some benefits from the Han people.
Pei Mao hesitated for a moment and said: "Chanyu, what about this matter... If it is to dispatch laborers and direct manpower, this is a matter within a certain position, so it can be determined in one word. However, as for craftsmen, most of them belong to the Huang family, so Relatives of General Hussar, this... still need to report to Hussar..."
Humphrey opened the folding fan with a clatter, shook it twice, and then closed it again with a clatter, and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say! Of course I need to say it... Haha, haha, it's okay, come on, let's drink first! First drink wine……"
It's a bonfire party, and it's killing cattle and sheep. Anyway, the Huns think that the only delicious food is meat, roasted, boiled, that's all. At most, they can make some gimmicks, such as the special characteristics of the slaughtered cattle and sheep. That's what it is.
When the banquet was over and the two parties separated, Bald Gei came to Hufro, handed him a hot towel to apply on his face, and whispered: "Chanyu, what if they don't send craftsmen?"
Humphrey rubbed his face hard with a hot towel until the skin turned red, and then he sighed and said: "We don't want anything, we just want craftsmen! We know how to sharpen knives, but if the knife breaks, we But they don’t know how to take them back! The Han people know a lot, a lot, we must learn some... we must learn..."
Tu Guilai nodded and said: "Yes, the Han people have many things..."
Yuvro said: "We didn't know how to grow crops before, but don't we understand it now? As long as we study hard, there is nothing we can't learn! Once we have learned it, we can be like the Han people and can make everything. We don’t have to go to the Han people to trade every day. Let the Han people make money, and we can also make money by selling things! Then there will be more people, more things, more cattle and sheep!”
Tu Guilai didn't understand very well, but he nodded repeatedly and kept praising Humphrey for his thoughtfulness and foresight. Naturally, the words he used were not so elegant, but the meaning was more or less the same...
Yuvluo waved his hand and said: "Last time you went to Youzhou, how was it? Which one do you think is stronger, the Han general or the hussar general? Which one is likely to win?" Regarding the official rank of the Han people, , Hufro also has some understanding, knowing that this general is bigger than the hussar general, but just like a plow supporter is not necessarily more powerful than a Qiang canal chanyu, there is no such thing as a title. It must be completely able to be ranked according to strength.
The reality of the Southern Huns, or the Hu people, is that neither Yu Fuluo nor Tu Gilai care about the Han people's theory of family and country justice. They just want to know who is more powerful, and then they will naturally stand. On whose side.
Tu Guilai scratched his head. Although he had fought against Yuan Jun before, it was only a small part of Yuan Shao's army. Can it represent all the troops of all Han generals? It seems that it cannot be said that, but it cannot be said that the Han army The general of the National People's Congress would be more powerful than the hussar general here, so Tu Guilai hesitated for a moment and said: "Well... I'm not sure about the others, but if it's the cavalry, it should be the hussar general here. More powerful..."
Huvrault nodded silently. Huvrault believed this. He even felt that no one could compare to the cavalrymen under this hussar general, even among the entire Han Dynasty.
"Alas..." Yuvrou sighed and shook his head.
Bald Gei came and asked, "Why did Chanyu sigh?"
Yuvluo said: "If it were before, we could still use war horses to negotiate with the Han people, but now...those damn Qiang dogs really dare to buy and sell anything..." In the past, the Han people had metallurgy and had advantages in tools. The Southern Huns have horses and have the advantage of cavalry, and now...
The bald rose comes in silence.
Those Baishi Qiang people seem to be very accustomed to doing business. Almost the entire tribe has become a team of traders, and then they swim from one Hu settlement to the next pasture, carrying Hu people's items and then to Han territory. They would exchange them for other supplies within a short period of time, and then go back to find the Hu people. Some even make three or four trips a year! So now, almost all nomads in the desert know what they need and look for those Baishi Qiang.
Tu Guilai scratched his head again, and then said: "Chanyu, I'm thinking, actually we can also run away... Most of the Qiang people go to the west, but we can go to the north ,Although there are fewer people in the north, there are still some..."
Humphrey pondered, "Let me think about it, think about it..."
……(﹁﹁)(?a?)……
Liyang.
Yuan Tan sat behind the desk in the handsome tent, his breathing a bit fragmented and confused.
The guards outside the tent shouted loudly: "The military advisor is here!"
Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment and then said: "Please!"
The curtain of the big tent door was opened, and Xin Ping walked in. He saw the gold seal on the table at a glance, frowned and said, "Is this the seal given by the thief Cao?"
Yuan Tan frowned slightly and said, "It's a gift from the emperor..."
When Xin Ping heard this, he slightly arched his hands toward the golden seal, which was a sign of respect for the emperor, but it was not very standard, because both Yuan Tan and Xin Ping knew that what the emperor said now could not actually be done. After all, it was just Cao Cao who was doing things in the name of the Emperor.
Xin Ping glanced at Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan understood and turned over the gold seal on the desk to show Xin Ping.
"As expected..." Xin Ping glanced at it and snorted.
The gold seal is engraved with the words "Jizhou Muyuan Seal".
It turned out that the seal ribbon of Jizhou Mu belonged to Han Fu. Later, when Yuan Shao took it, the court was forced to hold its nose and endure it due to the situation, and then gave Yuan Shao a new seal ribbon of Jizhou Mu, expressing its approval of Yuan Shao's views on Jizhou. The actual ruling power was also the same with the later seal of the general. But now, whether it is the seal and ribbon of the general or the seal and ribbon of Jizhou Mu, they should be in Yecheng and in the hands of Yuan Shang. Therefore, Cao Cao placed such a "Jizhou Mu" on Yin Shou sent Yuan Tan to his side, and his intention was naturally very obvious.
"This is the strategy of two peaches and three men!" Xin Ping said in a deep voice, "Cao Cao is so vicious!" Xin Ping was not a fool, and he understood Cao Cao's intention almost immediately.
Yuan Tan touched the golden seal and remained silent.
Some things are easier said than done, but there are also many things that are easier said than done. Everyone knows that, but when the time comes, not everyone may be able to do it well.
Right?
Yuan Shao has died of illness now. If the three brothers of the Yuan family work together, then no matter what strategies and provocations Cao Cao uses, they will not be of much use. Everyone knows this truth, but...
Just like back then, if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could work together, the world would probably have changed its flag long ago.
Xin Ping looked at Yuan Tan and let out a long sigh in his heart. Maybe this is Yuan's fate?
"Military advisor..." Yuan Tan whispered, "Cao Sikong said that if someone is interested, he will immediately send troops to support... But even Qingzhou..."
"Haha..." Xin Ping shook his head and said, "Young master, please don't forget the story of the false Taoist attack on Guo!"
Yuan Tan nodded and said: "I also know..."
Yes, everyone knows the truth. Just like the lottery in later generations, everyone knows that the probability of winning the jackpot is pitifully low, but there are still groups of people who keep investing in it with the idea of buying as much as they want and as little as they want.
, and even produced new online lotteries such as "One Yuan" and so on.
What if?
Right, what if? Yuan Tan is like a lottery player in later generations. He knows clearly that it is impossible to win, but there is still a voice saying, what if? What if he is the lucky one?
Xin Ping took a deep breath, and then said: "Young Master...I will go to Yecheng right away. Chen Ming is very powerful...it should be noted that unity will lead to gain, division will lead to defeat, and people in Yecheng must not want to see Yuan.
The foundation fell into pieces and fell into the hands of others!"
Yuan Tan was stunned, his eyes moved slightly, and he said: "If... you don't take someone as your master..."
"..." Xin Ping was silent for a moment, and then said, "It will not be too late to do other methods by then!"
Yuan Tan lowered his head, as if thinking about something, and then said after a while: "That's okay..."
Of course, if Yuan Shang is willing to give up this position, Yuan Tan will naturally not be able to continue to insist on killing Yuan Shang, and he does not want to bear the name of brothers killing each other. Moreover, this can also tell him
The third brother who has been favored since childhood, the world does not entirely revolve around him. He only knows how to guard against his own brother. As a result, outsiders are eyeing the door. If he doesn't wake up more, he will be in vain.
Outsiders took advantage!
Xin Ping handed over his hand and hurriedly led a dozen guards to Yecheng.
In Xin Ping's mind, does something like this need special consideration? In the face of a powerful enemy, even if there is discord in the family, we should join hands to resist foreign enemies. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, let alone now
The Yuan family's foundation is in turmoil and is in danger of overturning at any time. Even if it is to maintain a name and face at this time, what is the point? After resisting foreign enemies, everything has stabilized, and there is no need to divide the territory based on merits and rewards.
OK……
However, Xin Ping did not expect that he originally went to Yecheng with good intentions to report and make peace, but in Yuan Shang's eyes, it became a threat from his brother Yuan Tan...
"An unfilial person!" Yuan Shang called Yuan Tan this way. "My father's body was still cold before he went to join Cao Cao's thieves! How can such an unfilial person take charge of a big business?! Isn't it a disgrace to his father's reputation? How can he be more loyal and filial?!"
Xin Ping quickly explained that Yuan Tan did not collude with Cao Cao, but Yuan Shang said that if there was no collusion, then where did the seal and ribbon of Jizhou Mu come from? Xin Ping said that this was Cao Cao's trick, but Yuan Shang said that it was not
A filial person would use Cao Cao's treacherous tactics to plot against his own brothers?
Xin Ping was furious and asked why he couldn't understand people's words?
Yuan Shang was also furious, saying that if he doesn't do human things, why would he want to listen to other people's words, let alone why he doesn't speak human words? "If you want to trust someone, you will directly attack Cao's thieves, why lead the troops to Ji!"
"If the eldest son came with the troops with evil intentions, then what does the third son mean by ordering the refusal to deploy soldiers and cut off food and grass?" Xin Ping said.
"Instead of armies, how can we bully someone?" Yuan Shang said plausibly.
Before Yuan Shao passed away, Yuan Tan had written a petition saying that he needed some weapons, food and supplies, but at that time Yuan Shao was already very ill, so the matter was left unfinished and delayed. As a result, after Yuan Shao died, Yuan Shang himself
He was afraid of Yuan Tan and even more unwilling to give him anything.
Xin Ping was so angry that he pointed his hands together and said, "Sir! Mr. Yuan's great cause has been defeated by your hands!" So naturally they parted ways unhappy.
