Today's Gongsun Zhan is when he is young and ambitious, and he does not have the demeanor and introverted solidity of a male lord on his body.

In addition, Gongsun Chan holds his own identity as a child of a family, and he really doesn't pay much attention to a young man like Liu Xian.

In fact, this is also related to the idea of valuing agriculture over commerce in this ancient era. It's similar to the gentleman's statement that he is far away from cooking.

The children of the family are the children of the family, the nobles are the nobles, the ordinary people are the ordinary people, and the slaves are slaves.

Gongsun Chan is in Gongsun's house, because he is a concubine, he has endured cold eyes, so he has a clear understanding of this kind of high and low, and he has a clear distinction in his heart.

In his heart, if Liu Xian simply came to visit him as a member of the Han family, then he would treat him politely, but a dignified Han family member was doing business, so he didn't look down on Liu Xian very much.

Of course, in his heart, even if he is a member of the Han family, he will not take it seriously. Because of his direct subordinate official Liu Yu, isn't he a relative of the Han family? Even if it is Liu Yu, as long as there is a conflict with his philosophy, then he will not take it seriously. Liu Yu's order, he said to disobey the order. Liu Yu sent someone to transfer him to retreat and return to Shibeiping, but he just didn't retreat. Gongsun Chan has always believed that when dealing with the rebellious thieves and the aliens who betrayed the Han Dynasty, we must resolutely crack down and completely eliminate them.

The reason why Gongsun Chan dared to disobey was that he was indeed not short of money and food now.

Gongsun Zhan made a career as a young man, won the appreciation of Liu Ji, the Taishou of Zhuo County, and obtained his daughter as his wife, through the operation of his father-in-law, he worshiped a few masters, and then worshiped Lu Zhi, and rose to the top in his career. Now, the Gongsun family has also accepted Gongsun Chan and the family supports him. It can be said that over the years, Gongsun Chan has really not encountered any setbacks.

Although his father-in-law no longer holds an official position because of his crimes, he still has a certain amount of influence, at least he has a rich family background. In addition, the newly Gongsun Zan has won the allegiance of a wealthy merchant who is the largest grain and rice merchant in Beiping, the Yi family.

Therefore, disobeying Liu Yu's orders does not have much impact on him. Even if Liu Yu made a stumbling block and didn't give his military horses money and food, he could have a way to solve it.

In fact, Gongsun Zhan's political consciousness is also very high, he knows very well where his advantages are, what he needs is to firmly grasp the military horses in his hands and master the military power. At the same time, he needs military exploits, as long as he makes a prestige, then the military horses below will be more obedient to him and willing to follow him.

In case he obeyed the order and retreated to the right Beiping to defend the town, then he would really be controlled by others. At least, on this front line, his military rank is the highest, and he has the right to transfer the border guards of the imperial court. But once he heard about the transfer, then he only had 3,000 cavalry left as his subordinates, and the other border guards had nothing to do with him. When the time comes, Liu Yu will send any other general to come, and he can control those military horses.

It was precisely because Gongsun Chan saw this situation that he could not give up and continue to attack the rebels under any circumstances.

However, after thousands of calculations, there is no problem of keeping out the cold in winter.

This Liu Yu was stuck in the supply of materials in this regard, so that Gongsun Zhan was helpless. This temporary urgency can't be produced for a while. As a last resort, now Gongsun Chan can only confront Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju's military horses, but he can't take the initiative to attack them.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that Gongsun Chan had already made those aliens scared and afraid of the strength of Gongsun Chan's cavalry, maybe Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju would have attacked Gongsun Chan in turn.

At this time, Liu Xian told him about the thick cotton clothes, and Gongsun Chan really had to put down his posture and look at Liu Xian.

Gongsun Chan couldn't have been fighting the rebels like this forever. He disobeyed the order, and he couldn't defeat Zhang Chun's rebels, so Liu Yu might make a fuss about this.

If you don't retreat and don't attack, why are you staying here? If you do not withdraw your troops, you do not obey orders; If you don't attack, you are afraid of war. Do you want to rebel if you retreat and don't retreat and don't fight? In this way, Liu Yu had an order to give him a truce from the beginning, and he could even give him a copy of Sun Zhan, the court's counselor. In this way, if the imperial court demotes him or even removes his official position, then Gongsun Chan will not be good.

Therefore, Gongsun Chan had to attack and defeat Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju. As long as the rebels are defeated and the war exploits are made, then Liu Yu will have nothing to say, and he can't do anything.

Gongsun Chan is actually a smart and witty person.

When he heard Liu Xian say that he could trade with Liu Yu, he also had to look at this young man who was much younger than him, because Liu Xian was also talking about his weakness.

He believed in his heart that if Liu Xian found Liu Yu, then Liu Yu could only obey Liu Yu's orders in the future in order to force him to bow his head to him. will definitely acquire these thick cotton clothes of Liu Xian. And when the time comes, he Gongsun Chan has to listen to the transfer and retreat from the army, and then take this batch of thick cotton clothes to buy those border troops of the court who are not Gongsun Zhan's headquarters, so it will be difficult for Gongsun Chan to control and mobilize those military horses.

"Haha...... Liu Gongzi, General Ben is joking with you. Gongsun Zhan's face changed, showing a smile that seemed to be very sunny, and said with a smile: "General Ben really sees you as too young and wants to try your heart." Yes, in front of this general, he can still keep his face unchanged and be calm. Your friend, my grandson Chan has made a friend. However, then again, since you already know that General Ben needs a batch of thick cotton clothes for the sergeants to put on the battle. Do you dare to give General Ben such a face, so you are not afraid that General Ben will keep you here, detain you, and directly requisition your goods? ”

Gongsun Chan really wanted to ask Liu Xian directly, who gave you such the courage to dare to talk to General Ben like this. However, if you say it directly, I'm afraid I really can't talk to Liu Xian, so I pretend to be joking.

"General Gongsun is not the kind of person who cries chickens and dogs. Ben Gongzi believed that General Gongsun would not rob him. In addition, the goods are in the right Beiping City, if Gongsun Zhan's army needs it, we will negotiate it and send it to the general. Again, how dare you make such a risky business without three-thirds? If this son dares to walk into the general's barracks, he is sure that he can go out. Liu Xian calmly finished speaking to Gongsun Zhan, silently recited the Taiping Sutra, and ran the exercises, and in an instant, the clothes on Liu Xian's body were windless and automatic, and the invisible true qi was released.

"Huh? It turns out that Liu Gongzi is still a martial arts practitioner? Your breath is no different from some of the generals in my army. Gongsun Chan sensed Liu Xian's true qi and glanced at Liu Xian in surprise.

Liu Xian can barely be regarded as a third-rate general, so the induction for Gongsun Chan is not weak.

But compared with Gongsun Zhan, there must still be a big gap.

In terms of force, Gongsun Chan is stronger than Liu Bei, and he belongs to the military generals of the Three Kingdoms, and the military generals whose strength is at the peak level of second-rate military generals.

Gongsun Zhan also suddenly mentioned his internal strength and true qi, and an invisible pressure pressed Liu Xian over, and at the same time said: "Liu Gongzi's martial arts are indeed not weak, but if it is just like this, if General Ben wants to keep you, I am afraid you will still have no chance to get out of this military tent." ”

Gongsun Chan is like this, he wants to press Liu Xian, so that he can grasp a little initiative when he talks about transactions with Liu Xian.

And Liu Xian did feel a lot of pressure at this time, facing the second-rate peak generals, Liu Xian was indeed difficult to compete with Gongsun Chan in this momentum.

However, Liu Xian took a step back, retracted his true anger, and said, "What if that's the case? Do you still have the confidence that you can keep this son? ”

As Liu Xian spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Huang Zhong behind him.

Huang Zhong followed behind Liu Xian, always restraining his breath, and he didn't plan to steal any limelight, so he didn't look inconspicuous.

But at this time, Huang Zhong also knew that he was indeed going to suppress Gongsun Zhan.

Huang Zhong stepped out, his body straightened, his breath followed, and there was a bang, as if the ground had been trampled on.

A pressure like a mountain suddenly crushed Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Chan was taken aback, snorted, and took a step back.

"What? Why is your aura so powerful? Who are you? Gongsun Chan lost his voice.

This external release of internal force is not a real battle, it can be said that it is just a kind of qi machine confrontation. However, it made Gongsun Chan feel an incomparably powerful threat, letting him know that the person in front of him was really much stronger than himself.

"Heh, he's just a friend of mine, helping to escort my caravan, surnamed Huang Mingzhong, and his name is Hansheng." Liu Xian smiled indifferently, stepped forward and patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder and said, "Hansheng, step back first." ”

"Yes!" Huang Zhong answered, and then hugged his fist at Gongsun Zhan and said, "Huang Zhong has seen General Gongsun." ”

"Good! is a strong man, Huang Hansheng is majestic, and his martial arts must be extraordinary, right? If you are in the army, I am afraid that you will be an invincible general. Brother Liu Xian, can you cut love? I would like to ask Huang Zhong to be the vanguard general of our army, can I? "Gongsun Zhan is really happy to see talent, he knows that if he can get Huang Zhong, a general, then the rebels of Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju are simply not worth mentioning.

Liu Xian couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this, this Gongsun Chan actually wanted to dig his own wall?

However, Liu Xian said with a smile: "General Gongsun, Han Sheng and I are just friends, I can't talk about whether to cut love or not, this, you have to ask Han Sheng himself." ”

"Oh? Is that so? Gongsun Zhan was puzzled for a moment, and bowed to Huang Zhong and said: "Han Sheng Zhuangshi, Gongsun is indeed thirsty for generals, I don't know if he is willing to join the general's account?" As long as you are willing, the military position will definitely not be disadvantaged to you. ”

"General Xie Gongsun is very loving, Huang has no intention of joining the army, and there is no need to talk about this matter. You talk to Liu Gongzi, and Huang is waiting outside the tent. Huang Zhong hugged Gongsun Zhan again and retreated.

Liu Xian said to Gongsun Zhan: "See, hehe, let's talk about the transaction." ”

Gongsun Zhan's face was full of regret, and he couldn't withdraw his gaze after looking at Huang Zhong for a long time.

Liu Xian knew that such a situation was normal, in fact, even Liu Bei wanted to dig Huang Zhong over.

Who doesn't want people who have the ability to serve themselves?

Of course, this is poaching people in front of Liu Xian, and under the condition that Liu Xian and Gongsun Chan are not too familiar with each other, Gongsun Chan is really a bit inappropriate to do this, at least it can be seen from it that Gongsun Chan still does not regard Liu Xian as the number one person in his heart.

But Liu Xian won't care too much about these.

Liu Xianzhi is in this big Han world, and he is determined to do well step by step in this transaction. Therefore, Liu Xian really doesn't take this matter of spirit to heart.

Of course, since we want to talk about a deal, we have to talk about it on a relatively equal basis. Liu Xian asked Huang Zhong to show off his skills, just to strive for an environment for equal talks, so that Gongsun Chan had to lower his posture.

"You may be seated." Gongsun Chan pointed to the side and sat down himself.

"General Gongsun, you say, how many thick cotton clothes do you need, this price is easy to say." Liu Xian sat down and said quickly: "I do business, I don't like to beat around the bush and talk about things." ”

"This, there are more than 30,000 soldiers in our army, and there are already a batch, and it is estimated that 20,000 pieces is about the same. With thick cotton clothes to keep out the cold, the soldiers can brave the wind and snow to attack, and they will not stay in the military tent. Gongsun Zhan's fingers tapped on the desk, as if calculating the needs of the officers and soldiers in his army for these warm clothes, and then said: "It's still 30,000 years, for the sergeants under the general's account, we can't favor one over the other, so that each of them can wear new thick warm clothes, so that the morale of the soldiers can also be improved." No, 40,000 pieces, 10,000 more for backup. ”

"How? Liu Gongzi is on a business trip this time, can he bring so much over? ”

Generally speaking, if it is not needed by the imperial court, no one will produce tens of thousands of thick cotton clothes at once. One is the problem of production materials, and the other is that even if it is produced, it is generally difficult to sell and buy so much at once. Especially in such a world, ordinary people probably don't have extra money to buy.

"40,000 pieces......" Liu Xian didn't say yes, because these 40,000 pieces were less than half of his existing supply. For the rest, Liu Xian had to sell it to others. If Gongsun Chan knows that he has too much, he will suppress his price.

"What? Not so much? The thirty thousand? There should always be 20,000, right? Gongsun Chan thought that Liu Xian didn't have that much.

Liu Xian waved his hand and said, "I just brought 40,000 or 50,000 pieces this time. General Gongsun asked for 40,000, and there was absolutely no problem with this. ”

"Do you really have one? As many as 50,000 pieces? Gongsun Chan said in surprise.

"Heh, if there weren't so many, how could I have ventured from Julu County to this level? As the so-called wealth and danger are sought, since you want to do it, you naturally have to do a big one. ”

"That's ......" Gongsun Chan thought about it again and said, "Then you want all 50,000 pieces of this general." After all, these can be stored as military materials, and as long as they are stored well, they will not be so easy to spoil. It's much better stored than all those rice grains. It won't be bad in three years. ”

"All wants? This is okay, if you want it all, then give General Gongsun a discount. ”

Liu Xian looked sincere and said, "According to today's market price, three thousand yuan...... That is, three pieces of money. ”

"Three thousand yuan, well, this price is quite appropriate, so let's do it, I don't want your discount, two thousand five hundred yuan a piece." You have 50,000 pieces, and the general wants them all. ”

Three thousand texts are actually equal to about one thousand in later generations. This price, according to the current world, is indeed more suitable.

Although Gongsun Chan is a general, he does not mean that he does not understand the value of the current goods at all. If it was before the Yellow Turban Uprising, it would be about 1,000 Wen at most.

Of course, outside this pass, such as the Han Dynasty's clothing, tea, ceramics, etc., are scarce things, even in the past, a thick cotton coat, can be sold for 3,000 yuan, now, take it out, even if it is 5,000 yuan, it is more than people need, naturally, there is a need is a thing, ordinary people are afraid that they have no money to afford it.

Two thousand five hundred dollars is also within the range that Liu Xian can afford. After thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Since General Gongsun said so, then two thousand five hundred yuan a piece." ”

"Okay, refreshed!" Gongsun Zhan also said with satisfaction: "I will send someone to send the money to Youbeiping." Go back at once and bring your clothes to my barracks. ”

This is a total of 125 million money, and Gongsun Chan reached a deal without blinking an eye, and it can be seen that Gongsun Chan is really not short of money.

Gongsun Zhan followed and said: "My men and horses are not easy to mobilize, you may be able to send them out of Yuguan, and I will send Gongsun Yue to lead a group of men and horses to pick up the goods." There are horse thieves outside the gate, and I'm worried that I will be robbed. ”

"It's the best." Liu Xian readily agreed.

"So that's it?"

"Hmm......" Liu Xian was about to nod, but his mind moved, and he turned to say: "General Gongsun, can you do this?" You can...... No, I mean, General Gongsun might be able to exchange something else. It doesn't have to be money. ”

Liu Xian originally wanted to ask Gongsun Chan for some war horses, but he thought that Gongsun Chan wanted to develop and expand his own strength, and during this period, war horses were very important strategic materials for him, and it was impossible for him to agree to use war horses to settle the settlement. So, didn't say it.

"With other supplies?"

"Grain, General Gongsun can use grain to settle it, and each catty can be settled at the market price of thirty yuan." Liu Xian didn't know if Gongsun Chan had any surplus food, after all, he was now stuck in the supply of materials by Liu Yu.

"Settle with grain?" After hearing this, Gongsun Chan hesitated a little.

Food is also an extremely important material, and he also needs to store food.

However, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something, and nodded secretly: "In this way, you go to Youping Beiyi's house and see how much grain they can get." If he can come up with how much is not enough, General Ben will make up the money for you, so good? ”

"Good!"

"Then General Ben will send someone to explain to the Yi family, you can go directly to the Yi family to see the head of the Yi family."

Liu Xian was overjoyed and agreed.
