Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1697 Negotiation

Shan Yu and Yu Fuluo of the Southern Huns came with a group of guards on horseback, but to Pei Mao's surprise, Yu Fuluo didn't carry a knife on his waist, but a gold-painted knife. The fan was taken out from time to time and fanned twice, which made Pei Mao quite feel like a bull's head was facing a horse's mouth.

However, compared to Tugui, Yu Fuluo was not so eager to participate in the war, and said: "General Zhao doesn't know something, and Xiao Wang is also having some difficulties... Now that autumn herding is coming, we only know about animal husbandry." , I don’t know how to farm, and the people are few and scattered. If I recruit people, I’m afraid they won’t be able to reproduce. What can I do? In addition, there is a shortage of soldiers and iron. This...is really a bit embarrassing..."

  Zhao Yun took a look at Pei Mao. Before, he could be said to have grasped all the big and small matters in the Yinshan Mountains. Now that the people's livelihood is allocated to Pei Mao, it is natural that Pei Mao is required to come forward to make this decision. This is why he brought Pei Mao with him.

Pei Mao understood, anyway, when he came here, he and Zhao Yun got through with each other and knew what to do, so he didn't discuss anything with Zhao Yun again, but said directly: "Now Shan Yu is worried about farming and animal husbandry, there is no need for it! Although we are close neighbors, we are actually a family. If Shanyu feels that he is short of manpower, he might as well follow the previous policy and send someone to help! As for the iron tools, don’t worry, Shanyu will not use Shanyu’s tools. I'll bring my own!"

  Yu Fuluo shook his head again and again when he heard this, and said, "Not right, not right! Since we are a family, how can we bother so much? Why don't we just do this... just send some craftsmen here, wouldn't it be convenient for each of us?"

   "Craftsman?" Pei Mao and Zhao Yun checked their colors.

  Zhao Yun closed his eyes expressionlessly, without saying a word.

  Yu Fuluo looked at Zhao Yun and Pei Mao nervously. How to choose between "fish" and "fishing", Yu Fuluo can still understand to some extent. Although it was said that there were Han people who came to help, but once the Han people left, his subordinates still couldn't do it, and they still couldn't. I didn’t say that because the Han people helped sow seeds and weeds, these guys who are used to animal husbandry can learn it after watching it a few times, and their own men will never be able to smelt iron, which means that no matter whether it is weapons or agricultural tools, they always need to rely on For the Han people, if there is no more one day, no matter how much their own reserves are, they will rust and wear out every day, and they will be completely consumed.

   Therefore, it is best to have your own craftsmen, so Yu Fuluo thought to take this opportunity to deduct some benefits from the Han people.

Pei Mao hesitated for a moment, then said: "Shanyu, what about this matter... If it's a matter of someone's job to dispatch laborers and direct people, it can be determined in one word. The cavalry general’s relatives, this... still need to report to the cavalry..."

Yu Fuluo opened the folding fan with a bang, shook it twice, then closed it again with a bang, and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say! Of course we need to say something... Haha, haha, it's okay, come, drink first! Drink first ..."

It’s a bonfire party, and it’s killing cattle and sheep. Anyway, the Huns think that delicious meat is nothing but meat, roasted, boiled, and that’s all. So, that's the same thing.

  After the banquet was over, the two parties parted ways. Bald Rose came to Yu Fuluo, handed Yu Fuluo a hot towel to wipe his face, and said in a low voice, "Shanyu, what if they don't send craftsmen?"

Yu Fuluo rubbed his face vigorously with a hot towel until his skin turned red, and then he sighed and said, "We don't want anything, we need craftsmen! We know how to sharpen knives, but if the knives break, we will But I don’t know how to take it back! The Han people know a lot, a lot, and we have to learn some...we have to learn..."

  Vulture nodded and said: "That's right, the Han people have a lot of things..."

Yu Fuluo said: "Before we didn't know how to grow crops, don't we understand now? As long as we study hard, there is nothing we can't learn! Once we have learned everything, we can also be like the Han people, and we can make everything. We don’t have to go to the Han people every day to trade, let the Han people make money, and we can sell things to make money at that time! There will be more people, more things, and more cattle and sheep!”

  Tu Gui didn't understand it very well, but she nodded again and again, and kept praising Yu Fuluo for being thoughtful and foresight. Naturally, the words she used were not so elegant, but the meaning was almost the same...

Yu Fuluo waved his hand and said, "The last time you went to Youzhou, how do you think, the general of the Han people or the general of the hussars, which one is stronger? Which one is likely to win?" Regarding the official rank of the Han people , Yu Fuluo also has some understanding, knowing that this general is bigger than the Hussar General, but just like the plow-supporting chanyu is not necessarily stronger than the qiangqu chanyu, the title is not seen It must be completely able to be arranged according to the strength.

The Southern Huns, or the Hu people, are more realistic. Whether it is Yu Fuluo or Tu Guilai, they don't care about the Han people's theory of family and country righteousness. They just want to know who is stronger, and then they naturally stand up. On whose side.

   Bald Gui came and scratched his head. Although he had fought against Yuan Jun before, that was only a small part of Yuan Shao's army, which could represent all the troops of all Han generals? It seems that I can't say that, but I can't say that the Han general will be stronger than the hussar general here, so Tu Guilai hesitated for a while, and said: "This...I don't know the other things very well, but if it is As for the cavalry, the hussar general here should be better..."

  Yu Fuluo nodded silently. Yu Fuluo believed in this point, and he even felt that no one could match the cavalry under the hussar general, even if they were put in the whole big man.

   "Alas..." Yuvro sighed and shook his head.

  Tu Gui came and asked, "Why is Shanyu sighing?"

Yu Fuluo said: "If it was before, we could still use war horses to talk to the Han people, but now...those **** Qiang dogs dare to buy and sell anything..." Before the Han people had metallurgy and the advantages in equipment, while the South The Huns have horses and have the advantage over cavalry, and now...

  The bald rose came silently.

Those Baishi Qiang people seem to be very used to trading, almost the whole tribe has become a team of traders, and then swim from one Hu settlement to the next grassland, carrying Hu people's items and then to the Han Chinese territory Replace it with other materials within a short time, and then go back to find the barbarians, and some even go three or four times a year! As a result, almost all the nomads in the desert now know that if they need anything, they can look for those Baishi Qiang.

Tu Guilai scratched his head again, and said, "Shanyu, I was thinking, in fact, we can also run for a while... Most of the Qiang people are going west, and we can go north, Although there are fewer people in the north, there are still some..."

   Yu Fuluo pondered, "Let me think about it, think about it..."

  …(﹁)(A)…

  Li Yang.

  Yuan Tan sat behind the table in the handsome tent, his breathing was fragmented and chaotic.

  The guards outside the tent shouted loudly: "Army is here!"

  Yuan Tan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Please!"

  The curtain of the big tent was lifted, Xin Ping walked in, saw the golden seal on the table at a glance, frowned and said, "Is this the seal sent by Cao thief?"

  Yuan Tan frowned slightly, and said, "It's a gift from the Son of Heaven..."

When Xin Ping heard this, he slightly bowed his hands towards the golden seal, which was regarded as a way of showing respect for the emperor, but it was not a standard, because both Yuan Tan and Xin Ping knew what the emperor was saying, but they couldn't do much. Counting, it's just that Cao Cao is doing things in the name of the emperor.

  Xin Ping glanced at Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan understood, turned over the gold seal on the table case, and showed Xin Ping.

   "As expected..." Xin Ping glanced at it, then snorted.

  The gold seal is engraved with the five characters "Jizhou Mu Yuan Yin".

It turned out that the seal and ribbon of Jizhou Mu belonged to Han Fu. After Yuan Shao took it away, the court was forced by the situation and held his nose. Then he gave Yuan Shao the new seal and ribbon of Jizhou Mu, expressing his approval of Yuan Shao's commitment to Jizhou The actual ruling power is also the same for the seal of the great general later, but now, whether it is the seal of the general or the seal of Jizhou Mu, it should be in Yecheng, in the hands of Yuan Shang, so Cao Cao put such a "Jizhou Mu" seal. Yin Shou sent Yuan Tan's side down, and his intentions were naturally very obvious.

   "This is the strategy of two peaches and three scholars!" Xin Ping said in a deep voice, "Cao Zeituan is so vicious!" Xin Ping was not a fool, and almost immediately understood Cao Cao's intentions.

  Yuan Tan touched the gold seal and remained silent.

  Some things are easier to know than to do, but there are also many things that are easier to do than to do. Everyone knows it, but when it comes to the end, not everyone can do it well.

Right?

  Yuan Shao is now dying of illness. If the three members of the Yuan family work together, no matter how much Cao Cao uses strategies and provocations, it will not be of much use. Everyone knows this truth, but...

  It’s like if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could work together back then, the world would probably have changed its flag a long time ago.

  Xin Ping looked at Yuan Tan and let out a long sigh in his heart. Maybe this is Yuan's fate?

   "Military division..." Yuan Tan said in a low voice, "Cao Sikong said that if someone wants to, he will immediately send troops to support... But Qingzhou is considered..."

   "Hehe..." Xin Ping shook his head and said, "My lord, don't forget the story of the false way against Guo!"

  Yuan Tan nodded and said, "I know..."

  Yes, does it make sense? Everyone knows it. It's like the lottery in later generations. Everyone knows that the probability of winning the jackpot is pitifully low, but there are still batches of people who keep investing in it with the idea of ​​buying more and buying less, and even produce some "one yuan wins" "Wait for new patterns to come out."

  What if?

   Right, what if? In Yuan Tan's heart, he was like a lottery player in later generations. He knew that it was impossible to win the lottery, but there was 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 now, Chen Ming is very powerful... You must know that cooperation will benefit, and division will lead to defeat. Presumably, people in Yecheng do not want to see the foundation of the Yuan family. , falling apart and falling apart!"

  Yuan Tan was taken aback for a moment, his eyes moved slightly, and he said, "If...you don't serve someone as your master..."

   "..." Xin Ping was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's not too late to do something else!"

  Yuan Tan lowered his head, seemed to be thinking about something, and said after a while: "So, that's fine..."

  Of course, if Yuan Shang is willing to give up this position, it is naturally impossible for Yuan Tan to continue to insist on Yuan Shang's death, and he does not want to bear the name of a brother who killed each other. And this can also tell him that the third brother who has been loved since he was a child, the world doesn't completely revolve around him alone, he only knows how to guard against his own brother, but outsiders are all staring at the door. Some, when the time comes, outsiders will take advantage of it for nothing!

  Xin Ping bowed his hands, and hurriedly led a dozen guards to Yecheng.

  In Xin Ping's mind, do things like this need special consideration? The enemy is now, even if there is discord in the family, they should join hands to resist foreign enemies. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, not to mention that Yuan's foundation is in turmoil and is in danger of overturning at any time. What name, what face is there? After resisting foreign enemies, everything has stabilized, and it is fine to divide the territory with rewards for meritorious deeds...

  However, Xin Ping did not expect that he originally went to Yecheng with good intentions to report and negotiate peace, but in Yuan Shang's eyes, he became a threat from his elder brother Yuan Tan...

  "Unfilial man!" Yuan Shang called Yuan Tan that way, "Father's body was not cold yet, so he went to vote for the Cao thief! How can such an unfilial person manage a great cause?! Isn't it insulting to his father's prestige? Where is the loyalty and filial piety?!"

  Xin Ping quickly explained that Yuan Tan did not collude with Cao Cao, but Yuan Shang said that if there was no collude, then where did the seal of Jizhou Mu come from? Xin Ping said that this was Cao Cao's treacherous scheme, and Yuan Shang said that the unfilial person took advantage of Cao's treacherous scheme, and then counted his brothers?

  Xin Ping was furious, saying why can't he understand human speech?

  Yuan Shang was also furious, saying that if he is not a human being, he still wants to listen to what people say, not to mention why he doesn't speak human words? "If you want to believe in someone, then attack the Cao bandit directly. How can you lead the army to Jihu!"

   "If it is said that the eldest son leads the troops, he has malicious intentions, so what is the meaning of the third son's order to refuse to deploy soldiers and cut off food and grass?" Xin Ping said.

   "With his armored soldiers, will he be deceived by someone?" Yuan Shang spoke eloquently.

Before Yuan Shao passed away, Yuan Tan had put on a petition saying that he needed some weapons, food, grass and supplies, but Yuan Shao was already seriously ill at that time, so this matter had not been done and dragged on. As a result, after Yuan Shao died, Yuan Shang himself I was afraid of Yuan Tan, and even more unwilling to give things.

  Xin Ping was so angry that he pointed at each other, "Zhu Zi! Yuan Gong's great cause has been defeated by your hands!" So naturally they broke up unhappy.
