Zhang Su came to Zhao Wei's mansion, but saw Yan Yan here.

"Lord Zhang came just in time!" Zhao Wei was very happy when he saw Zhang Su coming, and said, "General Yan has just arrived, and I am about to discuss with General Yan, old man." Mr. Zhang's brother went to Youzhou this time, and he had some personal experience, and Mr. Zhang must have some different opinions after hearing about it, and he hoped to give him advice. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhang Su bowed his hand, and after sitting down, he said: "My brother Zhang Song said that the young master is dead and does not want to return to Yizhou. It was only because the Youzhou was strong and prosperous that he had never seen it before, so he had the intention of dedicating Yizhou, and he was anxious in his heart, so he came to the two adults to discuss the matter. ”

"Youzhou is strong, I have heard of it for a long time. But how it is not known. Zhao Wei stroked his beard and said, "General Yan should have some understanding of this, right?" ”

Zhang Su also pointed his gaze at Yan Yan.

Zhao Wei asked Yan Yan like this, not to make it difficult, but to be true. Yan Yan was born in the Yan family of Ba County, and the Yan family is one of the four major merchants in the world. As a giant businessman, he has close ties with Youzhou, which has a relaxed business environment, and it is not surprising that he knows some of the inside story of Youzhou.

Yan Yan smiled and said, "My Yan family is a family of merchants, although I have a lot of business dealings with Youzhou, but I don't know much about anything other than business-related things. I'll talk about things like the Youzhou trade tax. ”

Yan Yan pondered for a moment and said, "As far as last year is concerned, only my Yan family contributed no less than one million gold in commercial taxes to Youzhou!" Such as the Zhen family, the Mi family, and the Wei family are not less than this number! ”

"In other words, just your four major merchants will pay four million gold in taxes?!" Zhao Wei was a little incredulous, and said: "Last year, I added up various taxes such as agricultural tax and commercial tax in Yizhou, and there was no million gold!" ”

"But so." Yan Yan nodded solemnly and said, "Excluding the Zhen family, our remaining three merchants occupy less than thirty percent of Youzhou's trade volume!" Of the remaining seventy percent, two percent belong to the Zhen family, and the remaining fifty percent are all held in the hands of King Yuyang! ”

"This"

Zhang Su and Zhao Wei were dumbfounded.

"Yuyang Wang is really the richest man today!" After holding it for a long time, Zhao Wei held back such a sentence, but it was also the truth.

Yan Yan sighed and said: "This is just a commercial tax, I have heard a little, and the agricultural tax in Youzhou is even more appalling, but the specific value is unknown." ”

"A leopard in the tube, you can see the wealth of Youzhou!"

Three of you, you sigh, I sigh, sigh endlessly.

"Youzhou is rich in money, grain and grass; There is the edge of the golden iron horse; With the talent of Yuyang Wang, it is no wonder that the young master has such thoughts. Zhao Wei held the white beard, groaned slightly, and said: "Cangli is solid, and he has defeated foreign enemies, and half of the Han Dynasty has fallen into the hands of the King of Yuyang, and its pace to the south is probably unstoppable."

"According to Lord Zhao's meaning, do you agree with the young master?" Zhang Su frowned, faintly angry: "As a courtier, I should think about the lord and keep the foundation, you wait."

Zhao Wei raised his eyebrows, snorted, and said, "Lord Zhang is serious!?" The old man has been with the lord for a long time, is his loyalty not as good as you!? ”

"Stop, two!" Yan Yan hurriedly dissuaded and said, "Both of you are thinking about the lord. Lord Zhang wants to keep the lord's foundation, that's right. But has Master Zhang ever thought that one day the king of Yuyang will go south, how can he resist? Since it is difficult to resist and can't hold this foundation, you have to seek a way out, this is what Lord Zhao thinks. ”

When Zhao Wei heard this, he nodded again and again.

"Hmph, with the hero of the Sword Pavilion, can't you resist it?" Zhang Su snorted coldly and said, "Besides, isn't there General Yan in this war, otherwise what does the lord want you to do?!" ”

"You!" Yan Yan raised his eyebrows, suddenly got up, and shouted: "Lord Zhang, it's not that I, Yan Yan, have the ambition of others. That Yuyang King has always won a hundred battles, and the soldiers are so fierce that the alien race can't stop it, Cao Ying can't stop it, Yuan Shao can't stop it! Could it be that just one Sword Pavilion can block it? I Yan Yan made it clear that I am not the opponent of the Youzhou army! ”

"Alright, you two are angry for the time being!" Zhao Wei turned around at this time and said, "Although Lord Zhang is thinking about the lord, have you ever thought that if the king of Yuyang goes south, and the Sword Pavilion can't stop it, where will the lord be placed?" ”

Zhang Su was silent.

The three of them stared at each other and stopped talking.

After a long time, Zhao Wei said: "In this case, it depends on the decision of the lord, what am I arguing about here?" ”

With that, he turned around and walked away.

When Yan Yan and Zhang Su heard this, they also got up and left.

On this day, Yuan Shao slightly defeated the royalists led by Wang Yun and others in the court, and he was a little happy in his heart, and after he came back, he drank some wine, and his blood was boiling a little, so he wanted to vent his anger. Just as he was about to walk out of the study, suddenly, a man in black appeared in front of him, knocked Yuan Shao back again and again, knocked over a few chairs, and calmed down a little.

"General Yuan, we'll meet again."

The man in black was expressionless, but his tone was a little ridiculous.

"What's the matter?!" Yuan Shao was very aggrieved in his heart, but this person in front of him was too weird, Yuan Shao could only force himself down and asked in a muffled voice.

"My master has something for General Yuan to do." The man in black said lightly.

This command-like tone made Yuan Shao's heart rise with anger. Feelings, this Liu Yuan treated him Yuan Shao as a gun, and instructed him at will?

"Say!"

Yuan Shao gritted his teeth.

"Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang offended my master, and the master asked General Yuan to hand over Sima Fang's family and send them to Youzhou, otherwise"

"How else!" Yuan Shao's head was smoking.

"Otherwise, if there are a few people in the Sima family, how many people will die in the Yuan family!"

"You! Despicable villain! Yuan Shao was extremely sad and angry, and shouted: "Get out of here!" Get lost! ”

"General Yuan has to think about it carefully" As soon as the words fell, the man in black suddenly disappeared.

"Liu Yuan! Liu Yuan! Yuan Shao smashed the fine ceramics on a few pieces, and his eyes were full of endless hatred: "You deceive me too much!" Lie to me too much! ”

Dian Wei rode on horseback, looking around boredly.

It has been more than two days since I left Yuyang, because the construction of the Chi Road in the north of Jizhou has been completed, so the speed is very fast, and I am about to reach Julu.

Although the mountains and rivers are beautiful along the way, for a simple person like Dian Wei, it is better to have a few thieves at any time, and enjoy it. But now that Jizhou is under the governance of Tian Feng, it is peaceful and peaceful, where are there bandits? So Dian Wei was very disappointed in his heart, and he was extremely bored.

"Boss, it's almost time for the giant deer."

One person stepped forward and said with a smile: "Do you want to go to meet Lord Tian Feng?" ”

Dian Wei hurriedly shook his head and couldn't even say anything. That Tian Feng is old-fashioned, speaks directly, and if he says that he will be reprimanded, he is also very verbose, Dian Wei knows his people well, so he is extremely reluctant to deal with him, so he said: "The matter explained by the young master is important, Julu will not go, let's go around and go south directly." ”

"Oh!"

Liu Yuan's personal guard's mount was extremely powerful and extremely fast. The group of 100 horsemen soon passed through Jizhou, and five days later, they arrived at Liyang in Wei County, crossed the Yellow River, and entered the Puyang range of Yanzhou.

Although there are only 100 horses, the momentum is not small, and there is no hidden traces, which naturally alarmed Puyang Taishou, Cao Ying, and Cao Xiu.

When Cao Xiu learned that a group of Youzhou soldiers and horses appeared in the territory, he was very worried, so he immediately sent someone to investigate. Then I learned that this group of Youzhou troops only had 100 horsemen. Cao Xiu was puzzled.

Although the origin of this Youzhou hundred horsemen is unknown, it did not attack the village and county, nor did it hide its traces, but it went all the way to the south, and it seemed that there was no malicious intent.

Although there was this speculation, Cao Xiu was a cautious surname, so he immediately took a soldier and horse, went out of Puyang, took a shortcut, and stopped Dian Wei and other hundred horsemen.

Dian Wei grabbed the reins of his horse, stared at the thousands of people in front of him with wide eyes, and shouted: "Who are you waiting for, dare to stop me in my way?" ”

When Cao Xiu heard this, he beat his horse and walked out, shouting: "I am Puyang Taishou, you are rampant on the territory of Ben Taishou, is it reasonable?" ”

"Uh" Dian Wei wiped his head, and said a little shyly: "Hehe, it's really my fault." ”

Seeing this, Cao Xiu was happy, and the strong man on the opposite side of the secret road was simple, so he relaxed and said, "Who are you waiting for, why are you here?" Where are you going? ”

"Oh, I'm my young master's personal guard commander Dian Wei. By the way, my young master is the king of Yuyang, hehe," Dian Weihan said with a smile: "The young master asked me to go to Jingzhou to see Liu Zhoumu, and I passed by here, just like this." ”

When Cao Xiu heard this, he was relieved and said, "In this case, why don't you send a document, so as not to let Ben Taishou misunderstand?" ”

"I don't remember." Dian Wei's face was full of innocence.

Cao Xiu was speechless, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since you have the order of the King of Yuyang with you, it is not easy for Ben Taishou to stop it, so let's go." But don't disturb the people along the way, otherwise don't blame me for not giving face to King Yuyang! ”

After that, Cao Xiu turned around and left.

Seeing Cao Xiu's army leaving, the simplicity on Dian Wei's face suddenly disappeared.

"Chief, why be weak. With the combat power of hundreds of us, the thousands of rabble still don't follow us? ”

Left and right.

Dian Wei shook his head: "The matter explained by the young master is important, if you can not cause trouble, you will not cause trouble." ”

After that, he beat his horse and walked away.

Then the hundred horsemen passed through Chenliu and Yingchuan, but they were not intercepted again, presumably Cao Xiu had notified the guards of these two places early. Dian Wei was also happy to be idle, and hurried all the way, and within a few days, he entered the range of Nanyang.

After entering Nanyang, Dian Wei and others were intercepted by Wenpin. But it was in the arms of Dian Wei.

Knowing that this group of people came to see Liu Biao on the order of the King of Yuyang, Wen Ping did not dare to slack off, and while sending people to Xiangyang to report the news, he entertained Dian Wei and others.

After leaving Nanyang, I arrived in Xiangyang after three days.

Liu Biao personally welcomed Dian Wei into the living room, and said with a smile: "Commander Dian, how is your young master?" ”

"The young master is very good." Dian Wei farts with Liu Biao dryly.

After entering the living room, Liu Biao asked people to serve tea, and the two sat down separately, and Liu Biaocai said: "Commander, what is the important matter of coming to Jingzhou this time?" ”

When Dian Wei heard this, he hurriedly took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Liu Biao, and said, "I have two things this time. The first thing was to help Dean Kang Chenggong deliver a handwritten letter to Pang Degong of Lumen Mountain, inviting him to Youzhou to participate in academic exchanges. The second thing is explained by the young master, let me tell you that if you can let Changsha Taishou Zhuge Xuan's family move north to Youzhou, I will promise you 10,000 sets of weapons and 5,000 war horses. There are specific letters, and you can see it yourself. ”

When Liu Biao heard this, his heart was pounded.
