Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 370
When everyone in the tent was half full, Gongsun Xu looked at the right side of the tent and said, "Everyone who comes to my camp is considered my guest. I am a great general of the Han Dynasty, and I am in charge of the northern border of the Han Dynasty. In the northern grasslands, if there is anything that offends you, please tell me clearly."

Gongsun Xu's words were the opening remarks of the discussion. Han Sui's old face was calm and unchanged, but Xiongnu Chanyu Luan Tihu Chuquan curled his lips. Gongsun Xu's words were too false. What offends others, but anyone who is offended by the Northern Border Army has almost gone to Changshengtian. Who dares to say that the Northern Border Army has offended themselves.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Ma Teng replied first: "You are very polite, the general. The general is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, and also guards the northern border of the Han Dynasty. Now it is only natural to go north to the grassland.

As we all know, Hetao originally belonged to the territory of our Han family. When the two generals Wei Huo surrendered to the Huns, they lent this Hetao to the Huns to resettle the herdsmen. Now the general wants to take over this place again, of course it should be taken for granted. "

When Ma Teng said this, the rest of the representatives who wanted to please Gongsun Xu also echoed. No one would care about Luan Tihu Chuquan's vicious eyes.

In fact, Ma Teng did this mainly to put pressure on Han Sui. In this account, besides Luan Tihu Chuquan and Gongsun Xu who are sworn enemies, Ma Teng and Han Sui are almost deadlocked. After fighting several times, Ma Teng lost more than he won, so now, he must think of a way.

Others don't want to get involved in the struggle between these great powers for the time being, but today it is Gongsun Xu who invites everyone to come to the alliance, this face should be given, otherwise Gongsun Xu will swallow up their interests with one sentence If so, I'm afraid no one else will say anything.

Han Sui just glanced at Ma Teng and stopped talking. If the mysterious tribe hadn't appeared in Xiliang, Ma Teng would have been defeated by himself long ago.About this point, only Han Sui, Ma Teng and Gongsun Xu know now.

Gongsun Xu also learned about it from Ma Chao today. Later, after the identity of the mysterious tribe was confirmed to belong to the Northern Army, Ma Chao, who originally had a good impression of the Northern Army, became more inclined towards the Northern Army. With this brother here, there was no reason for Ma Chao not to tell Gongsun Xu about the situation in Xiliang. Moreover, Ma Teng hinted at Ma Chao's actions.

With such a reason, Gongsun Xu now has greater confidence in joining forces with Ma Teng.When Xu Shu and the others took a detour to Xiliang, they didn't want to help Ma Teng who was in trouble. This also explained why Han Sui only encouraged a few tribes to plunder Xu Shu and the others.

According to common sense, what Xu Shu and the others did at that time could be regarded as an uproar, but Han Sui's reaction was not strong. made a plan to pursue.It turned out that it wasn't that Han Sui didn't dare to pursue, but that he cared too much.

Seeing that no one objected to the opening remarks, Gongsun Xu continued: "Since everyone thinks it is right for me to come to the north, then I will not be hypocritical. One thing I can assure you is that I am not here to bully the weak.

You have all lived here on the grassland for so long, you can all be regarded as locals on the grassland, I am no different from an outsider now, if I come to snatch your territory, I am afraid you will fight with me, hahaha . "

What Gongsun Xu said seemed to be a joke, but no one dared to laugh. Maybe Ma Teng and Han Sui were better off. After all, their territory is still far away from Gongsun Xu, but the Xiongnu and those grassland forces can’t do it. , the arrival of Gongsun Xu has already threatened their interests. Didn't you see that the Huns are now oppressed and have no living space?

Everyone didn't dare to laugh, Gongsun Xu's joke was too cold.After a while, someone finally said: "The general speaks quickly, no wonder the leader of my family respects the general so much, the villain only saw the demeanor of the general today, I am really lucky."

An inconspicuous representative cupped his hands and said: "Gongsun Xu recognized him as the representative sent by Helian. Helian is busy with the affairs of the tribe now, so it is impossible to come here. However, he did not lose face of Gongsunxu, and directly So I sent a cronies to join the alliance."

The man saw that Gongsun Xu nodded and smiled at him, and he continued: "The general is a hero in the world. A long time ago, the leader of my family has seen the demeanor of the general. This time the general favored my tribe, but my tribe participated in the meeting. It is truly an honor for my tribe.

Before departure, the leader of my family prepared a gift for the general. In our army camp, there are now [-] high-quality war horses and [-] strong cattle and sheep. This is a gift for the general. A little respect , I also hope that the general will not be disgusted. "

To get so many cattle, sheep and horses before the meeting even started, even the rich and powerful Gongsun Xu couldn't help sighing to himself that Helian knew how to behave.The key point is that Helian not only conveyed an attitude to him, but more importantly, Helian's envoy chose to tell this matter at the banquet.

Is it plausible that this person gave it away, and the rest didn't give it away?

Sure enough, after this representative finished speaking, the rest of the representatives secretly shouted that it was not good, and He Lian's move was not stingy. The key is that the rest of the people are not prepared for this. Most people think that this alliance is to divide up the benefits Yes, everyone is equal, who would want to give Gongsun Xu a gift.

However, some people still do things by ear, Ma Teng said immediately after hearing this: "Oh, look at me, I'm so confused, I even forgot the gift for the general, Chaoer , Why didn't you remind me, didn't I tell you before I left.

Why didn't you send someone to send over the three thousand Xiliang war horses in the camp?

I hope the general will forgive me. I have already prepared three thousand first-class war horses from Xiliang. It’s a small thing. Please don’t dislike it. It’s because my son is ignorant, and he forgot such an important thing. Go back and teach him a lesson. "

After finishing speaking, Ma Teng sat down with a smile in spite of other people's contemptuous gazes. Ma Chao next to him was holding back his laughter. It was the first time he saw his father talking nonsense without blinking an eye. How could he be prepared? The gift for the general is completely nonsense.

With these two people taking the lead, it would be unreasonable for the rest of them to be ignorant. Han Sui immediately pleaded guilty and said that he had brought four thousand horses from Xiliang, and the other small forces also sent a lot of cattle and sheep. Hu Chuquan also had to say that he sent three thousand horses.

After the show was over, Gongsun Xu gave Helian's representative an approving look.This meaning is obvious, but Helian's envoy is also very happy. He has done a good job in what the leader told him. side meaning.

After everyone finished speaking, Gongsun Xu continued this time: "I just made a joke with you, ha ha, but, as I said, I will not treat anyone badly. I called everyone here today. I just want to discuss with you a way to make a fortune." Big plan, I guarantee that this big plan to get rich is absolutely reliable, as for how much money you can make, it depends on your ability."

When Gongsun Xu said this, the rest of the people couldn't help being interested. When Gongsun Xu said that he would get rich, he would definitely not deceive people. Many people couldn't wait to ask what kind of plan he had to get rich.

Before answering everyone's questions, Gongsun Xu asked with a smile: "Everyone, what do you think is the most valuable thing on the grassland, and what do you lack the most?"

Everyone answered immediately. Some said that the most lacking thing was salt and iron, while others answered that it was porcelain, tea and other supplies from the Central Plains. They listed everything they could think of. As for what was the most valuable, everyone answered of course. It's cattle, sheep and horses.

After some debate, Gongsun Xu said with a smile: "Everyone, if I find a way to import the materials you need from the south of the Central Plains, do you think your life will be improved?

Don't rush to deny it, I know you want to say that you can't afford it, but if I try to find a way to sell the innumerable cattle, sheep and horses in your hands to the Central Plains, how much do you think you will earn? Ha ha, this is a great thing. "

Everyone faintly heard Gongsun Xu's meaning, and even Han Sui couldn't help asking: "What does the general mean?"

"Without him, it's just trade between the north and the south. I don't know what advice Mr. Wenyue has." Gongsun Xu asked with a smile: "Mr. Suwen Wenyue is very resourceful. I think he can solve the confusion for everyone here. I would like to hear from Mr. Wenyue." Goodbye."

Han Sui shook his head and said, "The general is joking. How can I be as good as the two military advisers beside the general? Even Wen He alone is far better than me. How dare I show off my talent."

When Jia Xu heard this, she just raised her head slightly to look at Han Sui, and then lowered her head again.Everyone could tell that Han Sui and Jia Xu knew each other, but Jia Xu didn't seem to care much about him.

For the time being, Gongsun Xu couldn't control whether there was any grievance between the two of them. He continued to say to everyone: "Everyone can understand the benefits of trade between the north and the south. In the past, when the Western Regions were still in the hands of the imperial court, there was the Silk Road. I think you should have heard about it. Live the prosperity brought by the Silk Road.

You just need to bring the goods you want to sell to the northern border, and I will arrange everything for you there, waiting for the merchants from the Central Plains to come to trade.Moreover, with my northern border army escorting you, what else do you have to worry about. "

Although everyone understood what Gongsun Xu meant, none of them were talented in business, so naturally they couldn't understand the hidden business opportunities. Except for a few people like Han Sui, the rest of them didn't have much reaction. I continue to feel that I am playing the piano a little bit.

However, being able to successfully buy the materials such as salt and iron, porcelain, tea, etc. that are in short supply from the merchants in the Central Plains is of course the best thing. The rest of the people may not understand it very well, but they all understand that Gongsun Xu is not lying to them.

After discussing the first matter, the next thing everyone cares about is how Gongsun Xu will carve up the current grassland.
