"Alliance?"

Liu Xie looked at Guan Jing meaningfully, and there was not the slightest emotion in his eyes.

"Yes, it's the alliance." Regarding the questions in Liu Xie's words, Guan Jing didn't seem to see it, and his face was full of confidence.

Guan Jing's confident appearance made Liu Xie feel that he was being calculated by others, and he couldn't help but deliberately wonder: "It's good to be alone in this Bohai Sea, why do you want to form an alliance with that Gongsun Zhan?" ”

It seemed that Liu Xie had long expected Liu Xie to ask such a question, and Guan Jing immediately responded: "Although Your Highness can be a carefree prince in Bohai, how can you allow others to snore and sleep next to the couch."

Now that General He is in power, if the crown prince ascends the throne in the near future, presumably His Royal Highness's life will not be easy then. ”

"Bold!"

Hearing Guan Jing's words, there was obviously a hint of provocation in it, and he immediately angered Chen Zhi beside Liu Xie.

Guan Jingyi was not afraid of Chen Zhi's scolding, and looked directly at Liu Xie, as if he only paid attention to Liu Xie's meaning.

Guan Jing saw that Liu Xie was speechless, thinking that he had already moved Liu Xie with his words, and immediately added: "Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, is the Zongzheng of the Liu family, but he is the most pedantic and the most orthodox in etiquette.

In Liu Yu's eyes, I am afraid that there will only be His Majesty today and His Majesty in the future, if General He comes overbearingly, I am afraid that Liu Yu will be the first to make a move to His Highness without hesitation. ”

"Go on." Hearing what Guan Jing said, Liu Xie only said two words, and he couldn't see any expression on his face at all.

Seeing that Liu Xie did not raise any objections or show anger, Guan Jing's face was even more confident: "General Gongsun of my family is different, and General Wu is at odds with Liu Yu.

The enemy of the enemy is his friend, and when His Highness encounters danger, he can become a reinforcement for His Highness.

Jizhou and the Bohai Sea are connected, and only by foreign races, and behind us is the sea, even if we are invincible, there can be a place to retreat. ”

Liu Xie, who heard what Guan Jing said, immediately laughed.

This Guan Jing is gambling, betting that he, the king of the Bohai Sea, has his own ambitions, and he doesn't want to just be the king of the Bohai Sea.

Although Guan Jing guessed Liu Xie's thoughts, Liu Xie didn't like this feeling, when others felt that they were going east, then they would prefer to go west.

"Lone is the king of the Han Dynasty, Gongsun Zan is just a captain to put it bluntly, why did your general form an alliance with Lone?" At this time, I saw Liu Xie say with a disdainful face.

Originally, Guan Jing thought that his words would touch Liu Xie, but who knew that Liu Xie would say such a thing.

"Your Highness, this matter has nothing to do with identity, what I am talking about is a matter that is beneficial to both parties." Guan Jing said.

"Is it just a nominal alliance? What are the benefits of being alone? Gu just came to this Bohai Sea, and many things have a place where money is used, I wonder if your general can cash out some money and food to Gu? At this time, Liu Xie remembered something.

"Uh... This..."

Guan Jing didn't expect Liu Xie to be so direct, and he had already talked about the price before he agreed.

"What? You can't do anything good without doing it. Seeing Guan Jing's hesitant appearance, Liu Xie couldn't help but sneer and said.

Hearing that Liu Xie seemed to be about to refuse, Guan Jing hurriedly stopped: "Your Highness, please listen to me, the matter of money and food is a big matter, this is not something that the lower officials can say yes and agree, this needs me to go back and discuss with my general." ”

Seeing Guan Jing's embarrassed look, Liu Xie couldn't help but say: "It's okay to go back and discuss, the money and food that Gu asked for is not a small amount, and you don't need to talk about it if you don't have a penny." ”

Seeing Liu Xie's determined appearance, Guan Jing was a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, although I have not yet discussed with my general, I am sure that even if I take out some money and food, it will not be a lot." ”

"Oh? Does that mean an interview? Hearing what Guan Jing said, Liu Xie's face sank.

Even when he saw Liu Xie's face change, Guan Jing still stubbornly said: "Your Highness, if I don't agree, if you know it, you will know that Youzhou is already barren, and many materials are still transported from Jizhou."

What's more, the general of my family is at odds with Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, even when he is fighting in a foreign race, he is often deducted from supplies by Liu Yu, and there is really no way to give His Highness too much! ”

"You mean you want to empty the gloves of the white wolf?" What Guan Jing said, Liu Xie knew that it was also true, but not biting off a piece of meat from his body was really not in line with Liu Xie's style of acting.

"In addition to money and food, what other materials can also be deducted." At this time, Tian Feng reminded Guan Jingdao on the side.

"The general of my family has been fighting against foreign races on the border for a long time, and he has nothing of value, that is, the furs of some wild beasts, and at most some war horses." Guan Jing said helplessly.

The speaker had no intention of listening, and when he heard Guan Jing talk about the war horse, Liu Xie's eyes suddenly lit up.

"War horses? How many horses do you have? As soon as Guan Jing's words fell, Liu Xie couldn't wait to ask.

You must know that in terms of the entire Han range, except for Liangzhou, which is in the northwest, which is rich in war horses, that is, a few states such as Youzhou are rich in war horses that meet the needs of combat.

In this era, the cavalry is a big killing weapon, which is to push the existence of the opponent on the frontal battlefield, and whoever has a certain number of cavalry in his hands means that he has the initiative on the battlefield.

With such an opportunity, how could Liu Xie not fight for it?

Hearing Liu Xie's words, Guan Jing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although he has been on the border for a long time because of the needs of war, war horses are also a necessity, but after all, Youzhou has been one of the production areas of war horses since ancient times, and it can still be evenly produced.

"Because of the needs of the war, war horses are also in short supply for us, but since Your Highness has spoken, what I can decide is to give Your Highness a thousand horses as assets for forming an alliance." Hearing Liu Xie's inquiry, Guan Jing didn't know what Liu Xie meant, and immediately opened his mouth and promised.

"Two thousand!" As soon as Guan Jing's words fell, he heard Liu Xie say directly.

Hearing what Liu Xie said, Guan Jing suddenly said with a sad face: "Your Highness, two thousand horses is too much......

"Two thousand horses is two thousand horses, Gu has been exempted from waiting for money and food, and if there is one less horse, there is no need to talk about it!" Liu Xie's face was resolute, and there was no room for bargaining.

Seeing that Liu Xie didn't give himself room to bargain at all, Guan Jing couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, I need to go back and discuss this matter with General Gongsun." ”

Hearing what Guan Jing said, Liu Xie couldn't help but nod and agreed, after all, this amount must have exceeded Guan Jing's expectations.

"There is one more thing, in addition to the accident of these two thousand war horses, Gu also wants to make a deal with Gongsun Zhan, and exchange the money and grain for another 3,000 war horses." Liu Xie's words were astonishing.

"Isn't Your Highness short of money and food? Why are you changing horses now? Hearing what Liu Xie said, Guan Jing felt suspicious in his heart, and he couldn't help but be suspicious of Liu Xie's purpose.

After all, with the previous 2,000 horses, there are 5,000 horses, and if you cooperate with the elite soldiers, it is a force that is not trivial.

The Bohai Sea is too close to Youzhou, and no one wants to cultivate a force that can threaten them at their doorstep.

"None of this has anything to do with you, as long as you know that Lone will deliver the money and food to you and others when the time comes.

As for Lone's need for so many military horses, as you just said, if General He goes crazy one day to deal with Lone, Lone will have a guarantee. Seeing Guan Jing's suspicious look, Liu Xie couldn't help but explain.

"Oh, I see." Regarding Liu Xie's explanation, Guan Jing was also skeptical.

"Since there are still many things that Guan Changshi can't decide, let's go back and ask Gongsun Chan quickly." At this time, Liu Xie issued an eviction order to Guan Jing.

"Resignation." Hearing the meaning of Liu Xie's words, Guan Jing saluted Liu Xie and turned to leave, he wanted to quickly go back and tell Gongsun Zhan what happened here.
