Sun Ce wanted to cooperate with Jia Xu, but he couldn't support it unilaterally.

The consumption of the war was huge, even if he could hold Yuzhou and Jingzhou in his hands and take Yangzhou in the future, he would not be able to support the logistics supply of the Liangzhou army. The combat effectiveness of the cavalry is strong, but the consumption is not singing, several times that of the foot soldiers. At the beginning, Duan Cheng rode more than 10,000 steps to conquer Qiang, and he spent more than 2 billion ⊥ a year, and he was unwilling to bear this responsibility. His hand can't reach out to merge with the state for the time being, and the Xiliang army is cruel by nature, mercenary, and has no faith at all, so there is no reason to use his hard-earned money to support them. Now they are facing a predicament, they can say anything, and if they really have to wait for them to take a breath, who knows if they will turn their faces and deny people.

This rope must be held in one's own hand, and it must be decided by oneself when to loosen and when to tighten.

These truths can't be told to Niu Fu and Dong Yue, but can only be told to Jia Xu. He is a smart man who knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and he can only fight for it on his own. Moreover, he came in person, which is enough to show his sincerity, coupled with the resonance of the same poor family, which is blocked by the family's career, if this is not possible, then there is no need to cooperate, let them fend for themselves.

Xiliang people are indeed good at fighting, whether it is Dong Zhuo before or Ma Chao later, they are all brave men on the battlefield, but war has never been limited to the battlefield, and without enough economic foundation, they cannot become the final victors. Jia Xu is very strong, but his vision can't get out of this era, even if he occupies Hedong and occupies that piece of yellow earth, he can't complete the historical mission of counterattacking the whole country.

The general direction of cooperation was set, Sun Ce did not talk about the details, and these things were left to Jiang Gan to discuss. He and Jia Xu chatted casually, talking about the past and the present. Huangchi is the place where Qin and Zhao meet, and not far to the west is Kunshan Mountain, and there are countless stories that have happened here. Sun Ce had done his homework before he came, and he was not left behind when talking to Jia Xu at this moment. Jia Xu's knowledge is naturally better than his, but that only refers to the Confucian classics and the texts of the hundred schools of thought.

History is sometimes like a labyrinth, in it, seeing only a corner, always feel that the mountains and rivers are complex, there are too many accidents, when you stand on a higher view of the labyrinth, you will find that there are thousands of threads to be found, a lot of seemingly incredible accidents will become inevitable. Jia Xu is the person who stands in the labyrinth, but Sun Ce is the person who stands on the labyrinth, he may not be as smart as Jia Xu, but he stands taller than Jia Xu, many things Jia Xu can't see really, but he can say it in one sentence.

The advantage of talking to smart people is that they can be understood at one point, Sun Ce and he said that it is impossible to really chat, this is an opportunity to test the minds and insights of both parties, the basis of cooperation, no one wants to cooperate with stupid people.

After a conversation with Jia Xu, Sun Ce accepted the invitation of Niu Fu and Dong Yue to participate in the reception banquet held for him and meet with the generals of Liangzhou. Talking to these people is more swearing, drinking wine in large bowls and eating meat in large chunks. Sun Ce is a jumpy character, and there is no moral discrimination, and these Liangzhou generals who are called barbarians are as happy as they are, even if he just wiped out 20,000 Liangzhou elites last year, but he doesn't look down on Liangzhou people at all.

Li Yu sighed with emotion. At the beginning, Dong Zhuo wanted to marry Sun Jian and sent him to see Sun Jian, but Sun Jian refused. Now it seems that it was really Dong Zhuo's bad luck. If it was replaced by Sun Ce, maybe this matter would have been done, and Dong Zhuo would not have died so poorly.

——

After the banquet, Sun Ce returned to the post house to rest, but Li Yu and the others did not leave, gathered in Jia Xu's laxative, and sat together.

Jia Xu didn't hide it, and repeated what Sun Ce said to him as it was. The meaning of the main body is very clear, it is impossible to provide free aid, and this 100,000 stone grain is considered a free subsidy, if it is not enough, then it can only be traded.

Li Dao and the others looked at each other, a little disappointed. He said so affectionately at the banquet just now, and I thought that Sun Ce would give generously.

Niu Fu patted the case and said, "This apricot looks generous, why is it so picky?" Isn't it just hundreds of thousands of stone grains" Countless pairs of eyes looked at each other, Niu Fu was very embarrassed, his raised hand stopped in the air, changed direction, touched his head, and laughed dryly.

"What do you think?" Jia Xu looked at everyone and said unhurriedly. "Do you want to work with him?"

"What else can I do if I don't cooperate?" Dong Yue sighed and said: "Without food, we can't gain a foothold in Hedong, can we grab it?" ”

"Why can't you grab it?" Niu Fu asked rhetorically.

The crowd was silent again. Jia Xu said after a moment: "It's not that you can't rob, but robbing can only be the last resort." After the robbery, we had to leave Hedong. ”

Li Dao nodded, and suddenly said: "Actually, we can also tuntian, and the white wave thieves can grow and eat themselves, why can't we?" The land in Hedong is much stronger than that of Liangzhou, and you can harvest it in autumn by sprinkling a handful of seeds. With food, do we want to cooperate, or don't we see that we are happy? ”

Niu Fu said: "It's just after autumn, are you going to grab it, or wait for next autumn?" If we wait for next fall, what do we eat in the months leading up to the harvest? The 100,000 stone grains sent by Sun Ce can only be eaten for three months at most, and the remaining months will be eaten like war horses? ”

Li Dao also sighed, a little headache. Everyone said a word, I said a word, and after talking for a long time, in the end, I still didn't have any good ideas, so I had to set my eyes on Jia Xu. Jia Xu twisted his beard and said slowly: "Actually, we still have an ulcer. ”

"There's a way for you to say it quickly, but I'm in a hurry." Ushisuke jumped up.

"We can go and rob the Huns." Jia Xu raised his head. "What Sun Ce wants most is a war horse. However, our war horses are also limited, and we have lost a lot of losses in several battles, and if we sell some of them to Sun Ce, it will be equivalent to cutting off our own feet. It is imperative that we find a place where we can replenish the horses. ”

Dong Yue slapped his thigh. "Makes sense. Before, we couldn't go because there was no military rations, but now that we have food, why don't we go and fight the Huns? In two or three months, we will be able to defeat the Huns, and we will be able to grab not only horses, but also food, and women, and this winter will be better. ”

"That's right, we have to rob not only their horses, their grain, and their women, but also their pastures± why should such good pastures be given to the Huns?" Ushisuke jumped up. "Let them be slaves for us, let us herd horses, or kill them all."

Li Dao and the others danced with their eyebrows, and echoed in unison. Jia Xu waved his hand, signaling them to be calm. "Although the Huns have weakened a lot over the years, they are not something we can swallow in one bite, if the loss is too great, we will not only find it difficult to control Meiji, but we may also be attacked by the family of the state."

"Wenhe, you must have a way." Li Dao said: "Don't rub it off, say it quickly, we will listen to you." ”

Jia Xu looked at everyone, especially Niu Fu and Dong Yue. The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Wenhe, what do you see us doing, when did we stop listening to you?" Say it, whatever you say, we'll do it. ”

Jia Xu nodded. "That's good, we will contact Yu Fuluo and support him to be a single Yu, and after he does a single Yu, all the families who are unwilling to cooperate with us will let Yu Fuluo kill and rob, and when they ask us for help, we will take advantage of the situation to enter the state."

"Good!" Dong Fu laughed: "Wenhe, this knife of the Huns must be good, better than the knife sent by Sun Ce." ”

The crowd laughed and agreed.
