Cao Thief

Chapter 454 Zhongshan Rich Businessman (Please recommend tickets!!)
Zhongshan Su!

It really is the Su family of Zhongshan...

Just to put it bluntly, the Zhongshan family has a little grievance with himself, and it seems that there is only the Su family in Zhongshan.

Four years ago, Cao Peng's elder brother Zhu Zan was killed. Cao Peng was ordered to serve as the northern captain of Luoyang to find the murderer who killed Zhu Zan.There have been many twists and turns, many things have happened, and many people have died.The little Luoyang involved quite a lot, and people from the Su Clan in Zhongshan participated in it and assisted Liu Bei in his actions.

Later, the case was solved.

Chen Qun intensified his management of Luoyang, which made the Su family lose their foothold in Luoyang.

But at that time, Su Shi didn't respond.Although they trade in the world, their foundation is not in the south of the river, but in the north of the river.Hebei was under the rule of Yuan Shao, so the Su family naturally did not worry about Cao's revenge.Besides, before the Battle of Guandu broke out, almost everyone in the world believed that Yuan Shao would win, so how could the Su family contact Cao Peng rashly?
Only later...

Yuan Shao was defeated, and Hebei was in danger.

Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan fought endlessly, which increased the exploitation of Hebei merchants.

Under such circumstances, it is conceivable that the Su family was impacted.As a wealthy businessman in Hebei, he naturally became fat in Er Yuan's eyes.Su Shuang's partner, Zhang Shiping, was also a wealthy businessman from Zhongshan, and finally decided to rebel because he couldn't stand the exploitation.It's a pity that before he had time to start the incident, he was noticed by Yuan Shi, and the whole family was killed.

The Su family was also suppressed by the Yuan family because of their close relationship with Zhang Shiping.

Fortunately, Su's management of horses is different from Zhang Shiping's management of ironware.Su Shuang bought horses from the Hu people and had close ties with the Hu people.It is precisely because of this reason that Yuan did not dare to oppress too much.But even so, the Su Clan was under tremendous pressure, almost unable to gain a foothold in Zhongshan Country...

Cao Peng has no hostility towards Su Shi.

The two families were their own masters before, and it was impossible to say who was right and who was wrong.

On the contrary, he was very interested in Su Shuang.This guy's shot is really generous, how did he save a lot of money and help Liu Bei get started?In other words, what considerations did he have in favor of Liu Bei?

This guy's vision is not bad!

"Su Gong, in the past, you and I were our own masters, so it wasn't much of a grudge.

Just, why did you come here?Since you are worried about my revenge, why do you need to see me? "

Su Shuang gave a wry smile and toasted Cao Peng with a glass of wine.

"Su Gong's son, I really dare not be a son.

At the beginning of Luoyang's change, Su failed to react in time.Later, he wanted to contact the young master, but suffered from no way out.I came here this time because I was ordered to find Mr. Tan to buy horses.I don't want to know during the conversation that the young master is actually in Hexi.Therefore, I have the audacity to ask Mr. Tan to introduce it on my behalf, and plead guilty to the young master. If I offended you before, please don't blame the young master. "

After Guandu, Cao Peng was dismissed from office because of the incident of Fu Wan, and ordered to shut up at home and think about his mistakes.

As for Cao Peng himself, he also kept a low profile on purpose, and hardly had much to do with the outside world.So at that time, Su Shuang intended to repair the relationship with Cao Peng, but didn't know where to start.But I didn't think that the two would meet again in this Hongshagang...

Tan Zhe said: "I need a large number of weapons, so I don't need you to bother.

Su Shuang has cooperated with me for many years and naturally knows what I need.It's just that it's a hassle to transport.We used to be able to pass through the territory of the Southern Huns, but now that the Southern Huns are in civil strife, this route is no longer safe.

Mr. Su hopes to open up a brand new business route, from the east to the west of the river, and deliver the goods to me...

As far as Hedong is concerned, Mr. Su will take care of it himself.But this Hexi...he mentioned this to me, and I thought of my brother.I also know my brother's plight. Mr. Su is also in difficulty now, and I will also have a lot of trouble when I leave Mobei next year.That being the case, the three of you and I might as well cooperate.As long as the brother is willing to help, other things can be discussed. "

smuggling!

This guy actually smuggled iron.

Cao Peng looked at Su Shuang, but saw Su Shuang's eyes were extremely sincere.

"My lord may be wondering where I got the iron.

It's very simple. The Zhongshan Kingdom was originally responsible for making weapons to the Yuan family... Now Yuan Shang needs a lot of horses, and I can be regarded as relying on them.After Zhang Shiping died, my Su family took over the ironware business he ran.Through this channel, I can deliver all kinds of items that Lord Tan needs.I also heard what the young master and Lord Tan said just now... Su can accept this matter, and at the same time provide various items that the young master needs.As far as Young Master Yu is concerned, a lot of troubles can be solved just by opening the Hexi Passage, I don’t know..."

Cao Peng fell into deep thought.

"What I need most now is labor and troops, and it's urgent..."

Su Shuang looked at Tan Zhe.

Tan Zhe smiled, "What's so difficult about this, my subordinates can immediately give my brother two thousand slaves, what do you think?"

"As long as the son needs it, Su can also help."

"Then... what do I need to do?"

"In addition to opening the Hexi Road, Su also hopes to ask the young master to give him a title."

"Name?"

Cao Peng immediately understood.

The so-called name is a banner.

Presumably, it would be troublesome for Su Shuang to get through the east road.

Today's Hedong is under the control of Cao Cao.The governor of Hedong is Cao Ren...

In addition, various soldiers and horses were stationed in Hedong, Xu Huang and Gan Ning were all in Hedong.If Su Shuang didn't have a banner, then the price to be paid to open up the Hedong trade route must be astonishing.Moreover, it may not be able to succeed.

As far as Cao Peng is concerned, there seems to be no loss.

But in fact, if Su Shuang uses his name to do evil, it will still have a great impact.

Cao Peng didn't understand the situation of the Su family.

Cao Peng also had many concerns when he rashly lent the banner to Su Shuang.

"Let me think twice about this matter."

"Brother, what else to consider, in my opinion..."

Tan Zhe was a little anxious, and wanted to persuade him.

But Su Shuang waved his hands at him, which means: don't push too hard, let me handle this matter.

Tan Zhe just closed his mouth.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The banquet in the evening broke up a little unhappy.

In the end, Cao Peng didn't promise anything, only said that he needed to consider it.

Tan Zhe arranged a residence for Cao Peng, and everyone went to rest...

The Jade Rabbit ascends to the east!

A round of bright moon hangs high on Helan Mountain.

As the night darkened, Hongshagang was shrouded in darkness and gradually fell silent.A figure quietly came to Cao Peng's tent.

The visitor found that there were no guards set up outside Cao Peng's tent, and he couldn't help but understand.

"Su Shuang, please see General Beizhong."

"come in."

Su Shuang raised the tent curtain and stepped into the tent.

I saw that the tent was brightly lit, and Cao Peng was sitting on the couch, looking at Su Shuang with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Su, I'm here late at night, what advice do you have?"

Unexpectedly, Su Shuang knelt down with a thud, and said in pain, "My lord, save me!"

"Sir, why is this?"

Su Shuang kowtowed again and again, with a look of horror on his face.

"Young master Gao Zhi, I guessed that Su would come tonight.

To tell you the truth, if you hadn't learned from Tan Zhe that you are in Hexi, Su would have prepared to go to Mobei with his family next year. "

"Oh?"

Cao Peng stepped forward and helped Su Shuang up.

"Mr. Su, as far as I know, the Su family in Zhongshan can be considered a rich family.

Although not a famous family, but the foundation in Zhongshan is very deep.Why did you suddenly think about fleeing Zhongshan? "

Su Shuang sat down on the ground, smiled wryly and said: "If there is a way to survive, how can Su Shuang leave his hometown?

The young master does not know that the current situation in Hebei has become extremely corrupt.In the early years, when Yuan Gong was alive, although he was wary of me and other merchants, he still had a way to survive.But after the death of Duke Yuan, Yuan Shangshao kept quiet and fought hard with Yuan Tan... At the same time, he followed the counselor's advice and severely suppressed me and other merchants.I, the Su Clan, have been doing business for many lifetimes, so I have some family background.But... On the one hand, Yuan Shang ordered me to donate money and food, on the other hand, he continued to exploit... my old friend Zhang Shiping was almost ruined by exploitation, so he was forced to rebel.Now that I have taken over his ironware business, if I don't have a horse source, I'm afraid I will rebel! "

Cao Peng pondered for a moment, "If that's the case, don't you have to leave your hometown?"

Su Shuangdao: "The Yuan family should perish, and Mr. Cao should prosper.

I was forced to assist the Yuan family. If Duke Cao flattened Hebei, would there be a way for me to survive?Although the Su family has some roots in Zhongshan, it is not a famous family after all.When the Yuan family perishes, I'm afraid it will be the day when my Su family will be in trouble.

After much deliberation, I wanted to take this opportunity to buy horses for Yuan Shang and go to Mobei to seek a way out...

Just when I heard that Tan Zhe was going to Mobei, I was moved.However, since the young master is in Hexi, if Su wanted to come, instead of going to Mobei, it would be better to join the young master.Su Mou is willing to use the wealth of the Su family for a long time to seek a foothold in Hexi. "

Cao Peng understands!
Su Shuang is scared...

What is the ending of Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping in history?

Cao Peng is not very clear.

However, the demise of Zhang Shiping's family must be in line with history; and Su Shuang's final result is likely to be to flee outside the Great Wall.

Merchant, merchant...

Merchants are indispensable for the development of Hexi.

Back then, Deng Ji was able to manage Haixi properly because of the support of the nine major guilds.

But now, Cao Peng wants to manage Hexi well, how can he succeed without businessmen?In comparison, Huang Wenqing and others from Haixi are far inferior to Su Shuang.At least, Su Shuang is a person who has left a name in history.

Su Shuang took out a roll of bamboo slips from his bosom and presented them with both hands.

"What Su said at the banquet was to use the banner of the young master, and he really wanted to donate his family property."

In ancient times, submitting a list of family property was equivalent to asking Cao Peng to be loyal...

Cao Peng took the bamboo slips, but did not open them to check.

"Su Shuang, it's not that I don't want to accept your Su family, it's really the situation I'm facing right now, and it's not optimistic."

Su Shuangwen laughed, "Young Master's worry is nothing more than population.

Tan Zhe has some slaves in his hands, but in Su's view, it's nothing more than a drop in the bucket with the young master.It may be stable temporarily, but in the long run, the young master needs more people to suppress the forces in Hexi.

Both have a plan, maybe it can relieve the young master's worries..."
