"Cao Xing, I think you have misunderstood, you are here to do business, how can I accept your money for no reason!" Ma Teng didn't say a word, and pushed Cao Xing back, which was an IOU. It is written that Cao Xing owes Ma Teng a full 100,000 taels and five baht, Ma Teng naturally refuses to see this, in this era of Confucianism, the style of a gentleman is also very prevalent, Ma Teng insisted that he did not give Cao Xing anything, why did Cao Xing give himself so much money for no reason, he was ashamed of it, so he resolutely did not want to.

However, Cao Xuan smiled and said: "Uncle Ma, it's really troublesome for most of the month, I've eaten and drunk here with you, and I hope you borrow troops from me to attack the Qiang people, no matter what, I, Cao Xing, feel a little guilty, so please accept this IOU!" ”

Cao Xing and Ma Teng, you push over and I push over, for a long time, seeing that Cao Xing was so resolute, Ma Teng finally accepted it with a smile, but he patted his chest and said to Cao Xing, if Cao Xing has anything in the future, just come to him Ma Teng, so the relationship between the two has deepened a lot.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Xuan took another glass of wine, lowered his posture and walked in front of Zhang Ji, and respectfully toasted Zhang Ji, although Zhang Ji was arrogant in his early twenties, but as the so-called reaching out and not hitting the smiling person, Cao Xuan put his posture so low, he was not easy to refuse, so he drank a glass with Cao Xuan.

However, Han Sui was a little embarrassed, whether it was age or strength, Cao Xuan was the youngest, but Cao Xing's other two people just didn't respect him. Even passing by him, it was as if he didn't see it.

Han Sui could only smile at this to hide his embarrassment, but he could see that there was a hint of anger hidden in the deepest part of his eyes.

After that, Cao and Han Sui's open and secret battles on their mouths were highlighted, every time everyone sat down to eat and drink together, there would always be a few discordant words, although everyone seemed to be laughing, but Cao and Han Sui were already in full swing in their hearts.

However, after all, Han Sui is known as the Yellow River, both in age and experience, he is much richer than Cao Xing, so every time he goes toe-to-toe with Cao Xing, Han Sui can always have a slight upper hand over Cao Xing, if it weren't for Ma Teng's intention to relieve Cao Xing every time, it is estimated that Cao Xing would be very embarrassed.

On this day, Han Sui had dinner at Ma Teng's place, laughed and returned to the camp, and the others couldn't help but run up to ask Han Sui what was going on, which made him so happy, and Han Sui laughed loudly.

"Cao Xing, that guy is too young today after all, I deliberately caused a war between Ma Chao and Cao Xing, at the beginning, I said that Ma Chao and Cao Xing are the same age, but Cao Xing is now a big man, Ma Chao can only prostrate at his father's feet, at the mercy of the dispatch, as a result, I said this casually, and it really led to a big battle between Ma Chao and Cao Xing!"

"Looking at Ma Chao's angry appearance, Cao Xing's cowardice is really cowardly, and he admitted that he didn't buy it with money as an official, looking at Cao Xing's cowering look, I feel refreshed, dare to play scheming with me Han Sui, this is the end, let your face be lost, hahaha!"

"Hahaha, that's it, the lord is really clever!"

"The lord is wise, let Cao Xing's little guy see the situation in front of him clearly, this place will be the lord's territory in the near future, what capital does he have to be arrogant here!"

"The lord has no last resort, he is wise and martial, and he admires and admires him!"

……

The people next to him all shot their own sycophants at the right time, and listening to these sycophants, Han Suishi felt more comfortable in his heart, and when he was having a good time with the generals, suddenly a herald ran in at the door and said to Han Sui.

"Lord, Cao Xing sent someone to deliver a letter!" The herald took out the letter and pushed it in front of him, and looking at this letter, Han Sui and the others did not immediately take the letter.

And the people around saw that the time had come to slap Han Sui's ass, so they laughed there, saying that Cao Xuan had been humiliated by Han Sui for half a month, and it was estimated that he had no temper now, and this letter was a letter of apology nine times out of ten.

For these words, Han Sui was very useful, he smiled and asked people to take the letter, and then opened it without hurry, just wanted to taste the taste of victory, but when he saw the short line of words on it clearly, the whole person's smile suddenly froze.

"If you want to achieve great things, you must first stabilize the foundation!"

"Great cause, what great cause!" Seeing this first sentence, Han Sui's heart was a little panicked, what did Cao Xuan mean by the great cause.

In the deepest part of his Han Sui's heart, he naturally wanted to achieve a great cause, but he was born in Liangzhou, so he naturally wanted to take this as his foundation, and he didn't want to go to the Central Plains to expand his territory everywhere, he just wanted to divide one side and even become a vassal state of the Han Dynasty.

However, Cao Xuan said it today, so he really felt a little flustered in his heart, but soon he calmed down, and he resolutely denied it in his heart, Cao Xuan could not know his thoughts, and even these cronies under him may not know his thoughts completely, let alone Cao Xing.

However, what does Cao Xing's later sentence mean by stabilizing the foundation first?

Just when Han Sui was puzzled, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves rumbling outside his tent, Han Sui led everyone to open the tent curtain to take a look, only to see a fast horse galloping towards here, and even the person on the horse fell directly to the ground in the middle of the way, Han Sui asked the soldiers to help the person over, he always felt that this person was a little familiar.

As a result, as soon as the man approached, without saying a word, he knelt in front of Han Sui, and said breathlessly: "Lord, lord, big, the big thing is not good, Jincheng is in chaos, and the Qiang people took the opportunity to invade and loot the twenty-eight cities of my Liangzhou!" ”

"Impossible!" Han Sui kicked that person over, at this moment he also saw the appearance of that person clearly, it was his housekeeper, Han Sui was born in Jincheng, Liangzhou, which can be said to be his foundation, after all these years of operation, Han Sui has basically put half of Liangzhou's military forces in his hands, Liangzhou naturally has Qiang people invaded and plundered from time to time, but he sent soldiers and horses everywhere, and now he has not been away from Liangzhou for a long time, how can those Qiang people come in so easily.

However, the butler who was kicked over by him got up and wiped a handful of tears, and then continued: "Lord, lord, this is true, just half a month ago, it seems that a group of caravans came from Yongzhou, and the people of that caravan claimed to be from Yongzhou, but their accents are not like it at all, the purpose of their coming here is simply to buy grain, and they still buy a large amount!" ”

"Many of the family's grain was sold out by them, so that group of merchants had grain in their hands, and the grain in the capital became extremely scarce, and the grain they came came directly raised the price on the spot, constantly raising the price of grain, making the order of our capital become chaotic!"

"Bastard, what are you guys eating? I knew that there was something wrong with that group of businessmen, why didn't I arrest them! Han Sui scolded loudly again.

And the family wanted to cry without tears at the moment: "Lord, we really want to arrest that group of merchants, but that group of merchants got the news one step earlier, they ran directly to the border line and threw a lot of grain outside, which led to the invasion of the Qiang people, and at that time, the grain of the border troops was almost purchased by them, so in the case of no food, my Liangzhou border was completely broken by the Qiang people, and the Qiang people drove straight in, maybe it won't be long before they were killed in the capital, and please return quickly!" ”

After listening to this family's words, Han Sui only felt that the world was spinning a little, and the whole person almost stood unsteady and fell down, but fortunately, someone next to him helped him.

Han Sui gasped for two breaths, only to make his heart a little calmer, he Han Sui is not a simple general, Han Sui has been studying in the Sili area since he was a child, has read a lot of books, has seen the world, has seen a lot of ghosts, knows how to control people, after learning, he did not stay in the prosperous place of the capital, but returned to his hometown, in order to control the entire place in Liangzhou, and those people who fought against him in Liangzhou City were either killed by him or feared by him, so those people gave him a title called Jiuqu Yellow River, but I never expected that the Jiuqu Yellow River, which is famous for its scheming, seems to have been calculated today.

Han Sui has so many enemies, but in a trance he thought of a person, the letter is still in his hand at the moment, for most of the month, he has been trying to find a way to suppress Cao Xing, and he has no time to pay attention to the situation in Liangzhou, so Cao Xuan took advantage of the situation, and said that Cao Xuan was suppressed so badly this month, it was completely Cao Xing's appearance to Han Sui, in order to give him Han Sui a little pleasure, a sense of achievement, but in the end, Cao Xuan directly took a shortcut and beat his old nest.

"Wow, aa Han Sui let out a long roar to the sky, his eyes were bloodshot at this moment, and he couldn't wait to be torn alive by Cao Xingsheng. The chaos in Liangzhou made it impossible to shake his deepest foundation, but it still broke his muscles and bones and ruined the process of his plan.

"Cao Xing! I will never let you go! Han Sui's eyes were bloody, and he looked at the people under him and shouted: "Now immediately reorganize my soldiers and horses, follow me back to Liangzhou, and we must put down all the rebellions of the Qiang people!" ”

Han Sui's soldiers did not dare to slack off when they heard Han Sui's order, and hurriedly took the order away, and Han Sui also looked in the direction of Cao Xing's military camp.

At this point, Han Sui's army did not say anything to anyone, and directly withdrew from Beidi County.
