Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 216 The Grassland Aliens in Youzhou (Part [-])
Ke Bineng's envoy was sent to Yecheng. This is the second time he has contacted Han Wu actively, intending to establish a cooperative relationship with Jizhou and Bingzhou.

After acquiring Youzhou from Han Wu, he has reduced the number of trades with Ke Bineng and strictly controlled the outflow of grain and grass.

Even those families from the Shang family began to be restricted by Han Wu. Whether it was bringing grain and grass out of the customs or transporting horses into the customs, the tariffs were increased.

Under such a situation, Ke Bineng also began to struggle, unable to continue to lead troops and constantly harass Bu Dugen.

Ke Bineng is a smart person, so he can naturally understand Han Wu's meaning.

Han Wu is deliberately limiting his abilities, and at the same time he can't let his Xianbei family dominate the grassland, otherwise it will pose a threat to Jizhou and Bingzhou.

Therefore, Ke Bineng sent people south to show his favor to Han Wu, hoping to continue to trade grain and grass as before.

Inside the State Shepherd's Mansion
Han Wu's generals gathered together.

Except for Zhang Yan who was guarding Liaodong, almost all the soldiers guarding northern Xinjiang returned to Yecheng to return to their orders.

Chen Qingzhi and Yuwen Chengdu stood at the forefront, after all, they brought Ke Bineng's messenger back.

Han Wu took a deep breath while sitting on the honored seat, drinking tea unhurriedly, looking at ease.

Ke Bineng's emissary was also a very calm and intelligent guy, and he was not at all dissatisfied with Han Wu's attitude.

Before coming here, Ke Bineng could guess what Han Wu would look like.

In short, Han Wu will never easily agree to lower tariffs, so Ke Bineng can only rely on official trade to obtain food and grass.

And Han Wu completely controlled the official food and grass, so he completely controlled the lifeline of Ke Bineng.

The envoy of Ke Bineng understood the etiquette of the Han nationality, smiled and bowed to Han Wu.

"Honorable Mr. Han, I am an envoy sent by Mr. Kebi Neng Shanyu. I hope to establish friendship with you and continue to cooperate in trade. We will exchange stronger horses for food and grass. I hope Mr. Han will agree."

Although the messenger's words sounded neither humble nor overbearing, the actual tone deliberately showed a feeling of submission.

Han Wu smiled slightly, and his smile looked a little mature, and he had already prepared his speech: "Ke Bi Neng alone is difficult for others. As we all know, Jizhou has just launched troops against Youzhou, and the food and grass consumption is huge, so we can't do it." Increase the frequency of trade on the original basis."

"The original trade will not be interrupted for the time being, but I will definitely not increase trade. After all, Jizhou also needs to store grain and grass for the winter, so we can't take it all out."

Han Wu's words were impeccable, but any smart person could tell that he was making excuses.

Spring planting has just been carried out in Jizhou, and winter is still too far away. The grain and grass reserves will definitely be more than enough, and there is absolutely no need to reserve too much.

Ke Bineng's envoy naturally understood this, but it was all expected, so he could only smile along with it.

"Mr. Han is really generous, so wait for Jizhou to have enough food and grass. I hope you can cooperate with us."

"Since this is the case, I won't bother you any more. Tomorrow, I will immediately go back and report this matter to Lord Shanyu. I hope we can continue to trade peacefully next year."

Having already guessed this kind of result, the emissary bowed and resigned without any hesitation.

Yuwen Chengdu personally received the envoy to leave, and the scribes and generals in the hall also watched the Xianbei envoy leave.

The hall was silent for a while, and then Xun You stepped forward first, saluted the lord and said, "My lord, Kebi is now trading grain and grass with us. It is obvious that he is going to make a big move against Budugen."

What Xun You said, except for Dian Wei, everyone else was well aware of what Xun You said.

Especially Chen Qingzhi, who has guarded Bingzhou for the past two years, has a good understanding of the nomadic people in the grassland.

Han Wu glanced at Chen Qingzhi, hoping that he could express his opinion.

Chen Qingzhi originally wanted to keep silent. He is not the kind of person who likes to take the initiative to speak out.

But since the lord looked directly at him, Chen Qingzhi knew that he still wanted to talk about what was in his heart.

Chen Qingzhi carefully worded his words, and said, "My lord, Ke Bineng was originally a small branch of Xianbei. Three years ago, he couldn't challenge Budugen at all."

"But he has developed rapidly in the past three years, and even Budugen has begun to be unable to handle him. According to this development speed, Ke Bineng has already surpassed us."

"The general thinks that since Kebi can develop himself in such a hurry, we have two methods."

Hearing Chen Qingzhi's words that there are currently two ways, Han Wu immediately became curious and continued to listen with a smile.

Guo Jia kept silent. After hearing Chen Qingzhi's words, he immediately understood what the two methods he said were.

Chen Qingzhi also saw Guo Jia smiling slightly, and understood that this ghost must know which two methods it was.

However, Chen Qingzhi still said softly: "My lord, since Kebi can develop and grow stronger, this is a very good thing."

"The first method, we continue to provide Kebi Neng with food and grass, but we need to increase the price of food and grass in exchange for more horses, cattle and sheep to develop ourselves"

"In this way, in four or five years, Ke Bineng will be able to occupy the entire Shuofang Grassland, and we can grow stronger."

"At that time, we will directly cut off Ke Bineng's food and grass lifeline, so many of his tribe can't support him, and he will definitely fight us desperately."

"Without food and grass, he is definitely not our opponent. We only need the last general and General Yuwen Chengdu to defeat Kebi Neng!"

Chen Qingzhi's words made Han Wu take a deep breath, and couldn't help but secretly said the word "ruthless".

Hunger marketing, if Kebi can be fed to fat first, it is equivalent to controlling his lifeline, and it will be impossible for Kebi to surrender to Jizhou at that time.

But Han Wu frowned, because once Kebi can develop and grow, it will involve a large number of troops in Jizhou.

In two years' time, the Jizhou army must go south, and it will be a battle with troops.

Chen Qingzhi saw that the lord seemed dissatisfied with this method, so he hurriedly said, "My lord, this second method is different, we need to help Budugen."

"Continuously conduct trade between Bu Dugen and Ke Bineng, so that these two people continue to conflict, let's reap the benefits of the fisherman!"

After hearing the second method, Han Wu immediately felt that it was okay, and was ready to agree.

But Guo Jia took the initiative to stand up and said: "Master, this second method is more dangerous than the first one. Ke Bineng is a smart person, Bu Dugen is a ruthless person, if they reach a consensus in the fight If we deal with us together, it will be a big trouble."

Guo Jia told the lord the potential danger.

Han Wu immediately calmed down, because Guo Jia was not talking nonsense.

All the soldiers also began to discuss one after another, causing Han Wu to be upset.

"Shut up! Don't be noisy when discussing things in the future, stand up and say something!"

Han Wu patted the table, the majestic momentum startled all the generals, shut up quickly.

Han Wu snorted coldly and waved his hands: "Everyone should step down and perform their duties first. Let me think about this matter."

Seeing that the lord was a bit tired, all the soldiers withdrew from the state pastoral mansion one after another, leaving only Han Wu in the hall.
