"General Ma, I don't know how many soldiers and horses you brought this time?"

"No more, no less, a full 30,000 cavalry!"

As soon as he talked about his troops, Ma Teng's momentum rose instantly, and his face was full of confidence and pride.

"With 30,000 cavalry, Xiliang is really rich in war horses, I wonder if Xiliang and Jizhou can negotiate a deal?"

"I want to hear about it."

"Xiliang has always lacked food and there are a lot of war horses, on the contrary, Jizhou is rich in food and war horses are scarce, if our two families cooperate with each other, wouldn't it be a good thing to have the best of both worlds."

"I, Ma Teng, have long had this intention, and have been looking for a trade route to do business with it, but Mr. Zhang may not know, Xiliang has a long journey to Jizhou, and there are too many idle forces along the way, and now in this world, whether it is your grain or my war horse, it will be regarded as a piece of meat in their own bowl by these forces, but if there are too many soldiers and horses escorting, the cost of this road alone is not inferior to the amount of our transaction, so I have been powerless, but if Mr. Zhang can solve this problem, Then I can make a decision on this business now. ”

"Since I can propose this cooperation, I naturally have a solution, as long as General Ma, your war horses are enough to save 50,000 horses, you can order someone to inform me, I have troops to collect horses with money and food, I will solve all the expenses on the road, and I will bear all the dangers along the way, but I have taken such a huge risk and paid so much price, I don't know if the price of buying Xiliang horses can be reduced?"

"This is natural, if the elder brother can come, the price of the war horse will be reduced by thirty percent for you."

After a simple calculation in my mind, if it is a 30% discount, it is still necessary to do this business.

"Happy, our business between Xiliang and Jizhou is officially reached, and it should be a big deal!"

"It's time to drink! It's time to drink! Either the world is fast Mr. Zhang is talented, rich and rich, such a difficult problem can let you find a solution, I Ma Teng really admire, come, I respect you! ”

Zhang Ze's method is actually very simple, let the cavalry dismount and become infantry, and talk about the business of all the areas on the line from Jizhou to Xiliang, as long as you pull goods from Jizhou, and exchange grain for goods everywhere, so that the road from Jizhou will not only not be disturbed by others, but even the escort team can do simple supplies in its city and start its own industry in the city, so everywhere they go to exchange goods for food and sow the seeds of their own industry, and wait for the convoy to come to Ma Teng's territory, The goods of the whole vehicle have been exchanged for a large amount of grain and grass, and finally the cavalry got on the horse and rode the purchased war horse back along the trade route, and the various industries that were sown before should take root due to their super competitiveness, and they are fully capable of undertaking the temporary supply of the returning cavalry troops, as for the security, in the face of 50,000 cavalry, even with the strength of Dong Zhuo today, he did not dare to do it easily, and he would kill multiple birds with one stone in this way, and then these war horses of Xiliang could not only be easily traded to Jizhou, And it can develop a new business route, Xiliang people have always loved fine wine, and the sales of Wanma wine have doubled for a while, of course, this is all a later story.

After drinking with Ma Teng for a while, Zhang Ze said goodbye to Ma Teng and came to Tao Qian's table with a wine bottle.

Zhang Ze plans to drink with every prince, in this troubled era, even if there are a few more superficial allies, it will save a lot of unnecessary trouble, according to the different needs of Zhang Ze has already ranked them in his heart, the most needed allies are of course the first to greet them, such as Tao Qian, Tao Qian is different from other princes, others are fighting, as long as others are better than me, I will look at him unpleasantly, Tao Qian can be called the clear stream among the princes, peace-loving and love the people like a son, and resolutely do not do anything that can be done, If others want to do it with themselves, then pay compensation and apologize, as the so-called reach out and don't hit the smiling person, there is not much grudge, and it is convenient to receive gifts and withdraw troops.

"Master Tao, I want to make an alliance contract with you in Xuzhou, I don't know what you think?"

"Mr. Zhang's words are out of sight, aren't we already allies?"

Tao Qian's rhetorical question directly made the relationship between the two intimate.

"Lord Tao, the kid doesn't mean an ally in his mouth, but a real ally, once there is a battle that will send troops or send material assistance, Jizhou now has 200,000 troops, the soldiers will be wide and the grain and grass are abundant, the people are united and the coordinated development of agriculture and industry, if our two become allies, not only can we knock on the mountain and shake the tiger to ensure the safety of the fief, but even become the biggest horn for each other, the other princes want to move which side needs to be weighed well, Lord Tao does not need to respond in a hurry, After all, the strength of the kid's army has not yet been revealed, if Master Tao thinks about it, he can call someone to come to me. ”

"In this case, let the old man think about it, let's drink first."

"Okay, that kid is waiting for the good news from Lord Tao."

Just gave Tao Qian a drink and was about to go to Kong Rong again, when Cao Cao walked in from outside the door, although everyone was busy with their own work, as long as there was movement at the door, everyone would turn their attention to it as soon as possible.

"Mengde, why are you here so late?"

Yuan Shao, who was sitting on it, was a little unhappy, it should have been that he had discussed with Cao Cao before that the two of them would entertain the arriving princes, but now he was left alone and a little overwhelmed, seeing that Zhang Ze had robbed so much space for conversation, the jealousy in his heart began to soar.

"I'm sorry everyone, Cao went to inspect the situation on the front line, we are now in the camp for a hundred miles, but the middle is separated by Dong Zhuo's Tiger Prison Pass, so I have arranged outpost soldiers outside the Tiger Prison Pass and Bishui Pass, and we can now sit back and drink without worry."

Cao Cao's words instantly erased the dissatisfaction of the princes.

"Thanks to Meng De's long-term thinking, it is really possible that Dong Zhuo suddenly attacked the camp."

Under the praise of many people, Cao Cao asked his entourage to move the small table and put it next to Yuan Shao after he bowed in the middle, intending to explain the reason.

Yuan Shao knows Cao Cao well, every time Cao Cao lies, his eyelids will blink uncontrollably a few times, just now he saw the number of blinks of Cao Cao's eyelids and knew that Cao Cao must be lying, but since he has been recognized by everyone, he will see through it and not say it, after all, he still needs Cao Cao's help.

"Mengde, do you remember our agreement?"

Yuan Shao reminded Cao Cao in a slightly angry whisper.

"Don't worry, it's me Cao Cao, I didn't feel well yesterday until today, don't worry, if you become the leader of the alliance, it must be your original brother."

Looking at Cao Cao's attitude, Yuan Shao was still quite satisfied, so he no longer cared about Cao Cao's fault for being late.
