Chapter 261 Capital (2)

Although Han Sui hurried back to Wuwei with a whip, but on his way back, it didn't seem to be so smooth, first of all, Ma Teng sent knights one after another, and quickly whipped up one letter after another to him.

From this, Han Sui had already determined one thing, although he didn't know Cao Xing's specific plan, but Han Sui dared to be sure that he definitely had what Cao Xuan wanted in his hands, otherwise Cao Xuan would not have done so.

Originally, Han Sui could also rely on his temperament to directly refuse, but this was originally a negotiation between the two sides, or everyone would not talk, if it was to talk, in the end it could only be a step back, and in the end, Han Sui also gave up a step, the location of the negotiation could not be in Wuwei, but in the end it was still set in a county town below Wuwei.

Although the county seat that Han Sui settled down in was not very far from Wuwei, then again, his defense level of troop deployment in it was definitely not as strict as Wuwei.

Therefore, Cao Xing and others finally agreed.

Half a month later, Han Sui had already returned to Wuwei with his men and horses, and then ordered his troops and generals, rushed to the county seat with a bunch of his cronies, and stationed there.

Because the people who are going to negotiate here this time, to put it bluntly, are a few warlords, and it is indeed an extremely important thing for this small county town, so the small county town suddenly became solemn.

Han Sui waited there for a whole week, and finally waited for his three guests. On this day, hundreds of people walked into the county seat, all wearing bright swords.

Then they met Han Sui in a huge post house. Han Sui looked at the three people in front of him with burning eyes, it was these three guys, who caused himself to suffer defeat on the battlefield, and his vitality was greatly damaged.

Thinking of this, Han Sui picked up the wine glass and took a sip of tea lightly, then slammed the wine glass on the table in front of him, he looked at Cao Xuan in front of him with burning eyes, and then said.

"Hehe, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Cao Xing, you are really bold, you dare to come to see me, do you think you can go out today!"

After Han Sui finished his murderous words, a cold wind immediately rose around him, and Cao Xuan glanced at the screens on the left and right in this room, behind the screens, there were countless figures shaking, and in their hands, all of them were holding sharp axes. Obviously, they were the axemen who had been lying in ambush for a long time.

On the other hand, there are only two people around Cao Xing at this moment, one is Jia Xu wearing Confucian clothes, Jia Xu is still holding a folding fan at this moment, sitting in place with a smile on his face and fanning the wind. As for the other person, it is naturally the guard Zhou Cang.

Jia Xu is also one of the masterminds of this matter, it is precisely because of his indirect harm that Han Sui failed miserably, Han Sui looked at this old guy, and even laughed at this moment, as if nothing was his Jia Xu's business, Han Sui was even more angry in his heart, and just wanted to slap the table and let himself ambush the good knife and axe hand, and quickly came out to pull Cao Xing and Jia Xu out and cut him into two pieces, out of sight and out of mind.

However, Ma Teng on the side immediately spoke, only to see him say to Han Sui with a smile on his face: "Wenyue, the two of us haven't seen each other for a long time since the last goodbye, and I miss you very much!" ”

Han Sui's old face was still gloomy, and he didn't want to answer Ma Teng's words, but in the end he nodded reluctantly, but his eyes were removed from Cao Xing's body for a moment.

"Cao Xing, do you know why I saw you this time? I don't want to talk to you about any bullshit things, let alone what deal I want to make with you, I let you go into the city this time, just to let you wash your neck, I want your head at any time! ”

As soon as Cao Xuan came in, this Han Sui was targeting Cao Xuan everywhere, in fact, his targeting was not only because he was unhappy, he also had deeper considerations, just to isolate Cao Xuan and let the two people next to him not interfere.

Faced with this situation, Cao Xuan just smiled indifferently, flicked the dust on his clothes, and said to Han Sui without being salty: "Lord Thorn Shi, please don't get excited, I'm not here to find trouble this time, but to talk about business!" ”

When Han Sui heard this, he sneered in his heart, and said directly: "What is there to talk about business, you first return my 30,000 soldiers to me!" ”

As soon as he said it, this Han Sui was shooting the case, and Yan Xing next to him was not ambiguous, he stood up in an instant, and glared at Cao Xing angrily, but just when they were about to make a move, a loud shout suddenly came from Ma Teng's side, and I saw Ma Chao directly slam his spear to the ground: "Uncle, if you do this, it's a little bad, do you want to go to war directly!" ”

Ma Chao is a militant and a straight-tempered person, who wants to fight and kill when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, but it is precisely because of his impulsive personality that Han Sui is really a little hesitant.

However, when Ma Teng saw this, he smiled at Han Sui wryly, and then angrily reprimanded Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, how did you talk to your uncle, pay attention to me!" ”

Hearing this, Ma Chao didn't speak again, but he still stared at Han Sui with burning eyes, in Ma Chao's opinion, the former Cao Xuan changed a lot of his personality, and, in the battle of the princes of the Nineteenth Road against Dong Zhuo, the two father and son were humiliated by Yuan Shao, and Cao Xuan also helped, so he was naturally grateful to Cao Xing in his heart, and at the same time, he sincerely regarded Cao Xing as his brother.

So now that Han Sui wants to find Cao Xing's bad luck, Ma Chao's straight temper will naturally not sit idly by.

Han Sui's heart was also very unhappy, but just one or two words from Ma Chao would at most shock him, Ma Chao told Han Sui that he and Cao Xuan were on the side, but Han Sui had not put a little kid like Ma Chao in his eyes.

Han Sui continued to stare at Cao Xuan with murderous eyes, and was just about to speak again, but at this moment, a lame Chinese sentence came from the side.

"Lord Liangzhou Thorn Shi, although I am from the Xianbei tribe, but I have also heard that you have a saying in the Central Plains, that if you don't fight, you don't know each other, this war is not your loss alone, we will all have losses, now we should think about how to save these losses, instead of continuing to kill each other!"

It was a Xianbei tribesman who spoke, for this Xianbei tribe, Han Sui was the most incomprehensible, in fact, during this period, he had sent someone to investigate this Xianbei tribesman to see what the relationship between him and Cao Xing was, and the results of the investigation made Han Sui also surprised, this Xianbei tribesman was actually none other than Hadoli.

What is the relationship between Hadoli and Cao Xing? Hadoli fought three battles with Cao Xuan in a row, all of which ended in failure, if it was just a defeat in the war, it would be forgotten, the key was that Cao Xing became indirect, and the harm to others was driven out of the clan, which in the eyes of Xianbei people, but it was a very shameful and humiliating thing, why did this Hadoli help Cao Xuan this time, this logic does not make sense at all.

But no matter what, Ha Duoli's words, coupled with Ma Chao's words, are undoubtedly showing Han Sui a meaning, that is, the forces on both sides of them support Cao Xing, Han Sui wants to move Cao Xing, he has to ask their opinions first, thinking of this, Han Sui directly took the case, so this is his territory, he wants to kill a few people in front of him, that is the same thing.

But the follow-up thing will be troublesome, once these three people are moved, how can the army of these three people stationed outside give up, and when the three armies come to attack together, he Han Sui is afraid that he may not even be able to keep the land of Xiliang, which is also what Han Sui is most worried about, and it is also the confidence of the three of them.

Han Sui's whole lungs were about to explode, and in the end he could only snort coldly and leave here with the people, and this conversation broke up unhappily, but this is not the end of this conversation, at most it can only be regarded as a small result, and it does not represent the trend of the general direction.

For the next few days, everyone was in a constant stalemate, and Han Sui didn't dare to touch any of the three of them anyway. And the three of them were constantly working hard all the time, constantly persuading Han Sui, and finally a few days later, Han Sui was forced to hold a meeting again.

This time, Han Sui finally suppressed his revenge, took a deep breath, and asked Cao Xin directly: "Cao Xing, before that, you told me that you wanted to talk to me about a business, now you can tell me what kind of business this is, of course, if it is not beneficial to me Han Sui, and it is not beneficial to me Liangzhou, then don't blame me for not keeping you!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Xing smiled and said: "Of course, I have to make this business for both of us, it is beneficial and harmless!" ”

"Xiliang is close to Sili, and I am close to Jizhou, whether it is Sili or Jizhou, it is a famous and rich place in the world! However, whether it is Xiliang or our state, even if it is only a little separated from these rich places, it is still called the land of bitter cold by the world! "In fact, the Si Li place that Cao Xing said in his mouth knows that it is these places in Luoyang, Chang'an.

However, when Han Sui listened, he became a little impatient, only to see him wave his hand and say, "Okay, Cao Xing, don't talk about these useless things for me here, just say it directly!" ”

Cao Xing laughed twice when he heard this, and then said: "Our two places and these two rich places are only separated by a hill, however, the living environment is very different, so in my Cao Xing's mind, there is a bold idea, that is, we must make our place as rich as theirs!" ”

"According to the report from my spies, under the governance of Han Tingshi, the security in Liangzhou is still very good, and there are only more than 3,000 people who starve to death every year, if there is a famine, it may be tens of thousands of people!"

Hearing Cao Xuan say this, Han Sui originally thought that Cao Xuan was mocking himself, and just wanted to be angry, but before he could speak, Cao Xuan preemptively said: "But I have a way to make this data smaller, I can make everyone in Liangzhou have meat to eat, and the combat effectiveness of the army will be on a higher level!" ”

"Hehe, Cao Xing, you're joking with me!" Han Suipi said with a smile.

However, Cao Xing replied seriously: "If Han Tingshi doesn't believe it, you can send someone to Bingzhou to inquire, what is it like in Jiuyuan County under me?" As for the combat effectiveness of our army, I believe that Han Thorn has not experienced it! ”

Cao Xuan said this, Han Sui chose to be silent, after all, Cao Xuan was telling the truth, he was irrefutable, if Cao Xuan was really like an ordinary prince, he might have been beaten down by him Han Sui a long time ago.

However, after Han Sui pondered for a moment, he still showed a sneer, and continued: "Cao Xing, don't pretend to me here, you will share this kind of good thing with me, say, what conditions do you have!" ”

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch. Cao Xuan pointed out to him at the beginning that this was just a transaction, and since it was a transaction, everyone had to come up with something.

And at this moment, I gradually entered the topic, only to listen to Cao Xing say word by word: "It's very simple, Liangzhou also has its geographical advantages, I hope that Liangzhou can open up trade with the Western Regions, just like Zhang Qian's Silk Road back then, open up the connection between the Central Plains and the mainland, so that everyone can be regarded as rich!" ”

However, when Han Sui heard this, he shook his head resolutely: "Cao Xing, I see that you are also crazy about money now!" You just want me to make Liangzhou, as a place of communication between the Central Plains and the Western Regions, to transport a large number of goods from the Western Regions to the Central Plains, so that Cao Xing can earn more prices, yes and no! But I don't know if you've heard that my Han Dynasty has always been a merchant and a businessman, and your blatant promotion of the status of a merchant seems to be a bit excessive! ”

Cao Xing shook his head resolutely: "Lord Thorn Shi, this is wrong, the world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit, this world is a world of great contention, in this troubled world, the ultimate is about strength and weakness, if you don't progress, you will eventually be replaced by others, I believe that people with a little vision will not go the other way in the end!" ”

Looking at Cao Xing's gaze, Han Sui glanced at Ma Teng and Ha Duoli next to him again, and he instantly understood why Ma Teng and Ha Duoli were so desperate to help Cao Xing, in the final analysis, it was not money that could make the ghost grind.

The reason why Ma Teng helped Cao Xuan may have some public intentions, after all, Cao Xuan had helped him and had a good relationship with his son, so it was natural for him to help Cao Xing.

But the reason why Hadoli came forward to help Cao Xing was really driven by interests, Cao Xing is now expanding to the west, and most of the west are Qiang and Xianbei small tribes, Cao Xing needs to expand his territory to the west, and Haduoli also wants to expand his territory a little more, so the interests of the two are the same.

Since the goal is the same, many things are easy to do. Cao Xing was casually sending a little money to Hadoli, Hadoli may not have thought about it, he immediately agreed, and he also followed the troops westward.
