Three Kingdoms

The Chanyu of the Southern Huns, Yufro, came on horseback with a group of guards, but what made Pei Mao a little unexpected was that Yufro didn't carry a knife on his waist, but a gold-painted knife. The fan was taken out and fanned twice from time to time, which made Pei Mao feel like 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 there are some difficulties here for Xiao Wang... 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 also 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 in Yinshan. Now that people's livelihood has been given to Pei Mao, Pei Mao is naturally needed to make this decision. This is why he came with Pei Mao.

Pei Mao understood. Anyway, he and Zhao Yun had 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 for Chanyu 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 utensils. I’ll bring it myself!”

When Humphrey heard this, he shook his head repeatedly and said: "It's not right, it's not right! Since we are one family, how can we bother ourselves so much? 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.

Yufro looked at Zhao Yun and Pei Mao nervously. How to choose between "fish" and "fishing", Yuvluo can still understand to some extent. Although it was said that Han people came to help before, but once the Han people left, his men still didn't know how to do it, and they still couldn't do it. It is not said that because the Han people helped with the sowing and weeding, these guys who are used to animal husbandry can learn it after just watching it a few times, and their own men never smelt iron, which means that whether it is weapons or agricultural tools, they always need to rely on For the Han people, if one day there is no more, no matter how much they reserve, 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! drink wine……"

It's a bonfire party again, 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. While handing Hufro a hot towel to apply on his face, he whispered: "Chanyu, what if they don't send craftsmen?"

Hufrault 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, and 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...

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, , Yuvluo 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 Southern Huns, or the Hu people, are more realistic. Neither Yu Fuluo nor Tugu Lai 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, but it cannot be said that the Han general will be more powerful than the hussar general here, so Tu Guilai hesitated and said: "Well... I don't know the other things very well, but if Is it the cavalry? The hussar general here should be more powerful..."

Humphrey nodded silently. Humphrey believed this, and he even felt that no one could compare with the cavalrymen under this general, even among the entire Han Dynasty.

"Alas..." Yuvro 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 appliances. 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 the Hu people's items and then to the Han territory. Change them to other supplies within a short period of time, and then go back to find the Hu people. Some of them can even go three or four times a year! As a result, almost all nomads in the desert now know that if they need something, they go to those Baishiqiang.

Tu Guilai scratched his head again, and then said: "Chanyu, I'm thinking, we can actually 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 chaotic.

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 whatever the emperor said, he could not actually do anything. 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 table 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 seal of the general later. But now, whether it is the seal of the general or the seal of the Jizhou Mu, they should be in Yecheng and in the hands of Yuan Shang. Therefore, Cao Cao placed such a "Jizhou Mu" 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 Cao Cao's strategies and provocations are, 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, 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, it makes sense, everyone knows it. Just like the lottery of 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 produce something like "One Yuan Win". "Waiting for the new online lottery to come out.

What if?

Right, what if? In his heart, Yuan Tan was like a lottery player in later generations. He knew clearly that it was impossible to win, but there was still a voice saying, what if? What if I am 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 must 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 was torn apart and fell into other hands!"

Yuan Tan was stunned for a moment, 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's not too late to do other things 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 cannot continue to insist on killing Yuan Shang, nor does he want to bear the name of brothers killing each other. And this can also tell him that his 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, Some will give outsiders an advantage in vain!

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 defend against foreign enemies. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, not to mention that the Yuan family's foundation is now in turmoil and is in danger of overturning at any time. Even if it is maintained at this time, What is the meaning of a name and a face? After resisting foreign enemies, everything has stabilized, and we can proceed to divide the territory based on merit and rewards...

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

"Unfilial person!" Yuan Shang called Yuan Tan this way, "My father's body was still cold before he surrendered to Cao Cao's thieves! How can such an unfilial person take charge of a great 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 treacherous plan. Yuan Shang said that the unfilial man used Cao Cao's treacherous plan to plot against his brothers?

Xin Ping was furious and asked why he couldn't understand people's words?

Yuan Shang was also furious, saying that if he didn't do human things, why would he want to listen to other people's words? What's more, why didn't he speak human words? "If you want to trust someone, you will attack Cao Cao's thieves directly. Why lead your troops to Ji?"

"If the eldest son came with the troops with evil intentions, then what is the meaning of the third son's order to refuse to allocate soldiers and armor and cut off food and grass?" Xin Ping said.

"Instead of having soldiers in armor, are you going to bully someone?" Yuan Shang said plausibly.

Before Yuan Shao died, Yuan Tan had written a petition saying that he needed some weapons, food and supplies, but Yuan Shao was already very ill at that time, 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.
