Chapter 100 The Lord of Taihang Mountain IX
readx;
Huguan is known as the natural danger, is the only main road connecting the state and Jizhou, since ancient times it is the place where the soldiers must fight, and after the reinforcement and heightening of the soldiers of the past dynasties, the current Huguan, the two sides are inlaid in the high mountains, the city wall is about four zhang high, are made of bluestone, it is simply a copper wall and iron wall, even if Yuan Shao presses his army all up, and fights a Huguan with less than 10,000 people guarding it, I am afraid it is difficult, not to mention whether Yuan Shao has the courage to do so.

At this time, who dares to squeak? Isn't that self-deprecating?
Yuan Shao saw that everyone was silent, and he also knew that the pot was difficult to take, but the problem was that Yuan Shao really wanted to take it in his heart, the pot was locked in the hands of Ding Yuan, the assassin of Bingzhou, for Yuan Shao, it was tantamount to being like a man on his back, Ding Yuan could let Lu Bu lead the army to fight him at any time, but he could only passively defend, such a grievance, it would be strange if Yuan Shao didn't care.
"Lord, if you want to take the pot, it's not difficult" At this time, Guo Jia spoke.
"Oh? Seriously? Yuan Shao's eyes suddenly lit up.
The other conspirators also turned their eyes to Guo Jia at the same time, but their expressions were indeed different, Xu You's face was a little confused, while Guo Tu and Xiao Ji were a little worried, only Tian Feng looked at Guo Jia with an excited face.
"I heard that the lord and that Shang Cai Ling Zhen Yi are world friends"
"Shang Cai Ling Zhen Yi?" When Yuan Shao heard this, a gleam flashed in his eyes, Shang Cai Zhen is the largest businessman in Hebei, rich and rival the country, Yuan once helped Zhen Yi, so for so many years, Yuan Shao and Zhen Yi have been called brothers.
"Yes, my lord, although our army can't pass the pot pass, but Shang Cai Ling Zhen's caravan can pass," Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Oh? Can you elaborate on that, sir? ”
"Lord, there is a way that money can pass ghosts and gods, let alone the momentum of Zhen's swallowing Hebei, it is said that no matter when this pot is closed, in whose hands, Zhen's caravan can be unimpeded, why don't you discuss with Shang Cai Ling Zhen Yi? Then select five hundred elites from the army, led by General Gao Lan, disguise themselves as caravans, and then join forces inside and outside."
"Huh? That's a brilliant idea. Wonderful," Yuan Shao exclaimed.
"That's because my lord is the queen of the Yuan family, the fourth and third dukes, and there are many old officials, if you change someone else, even if you have such a clever plan, I'm afraid it will be useless" Guo Tu immediately offered it.
"Mr. Gongze Takami," he immediately agreed.
Now it's not only Guo Jia, but even Xu You's eyes are full of disgust, without Guo Jia's strategy, count on you two sycophants?
"Anyway, your Huguan is the top priority, as long as you take the Huguan, Zhang Cheng will die, and you don't dare to face me Jizhou" Yuan Shao immediately ordered.
Shangcai County is in the north of Jizhou, and it is also Yuan Shao's territory, and Yuan Shao brought Guo Tu and more than 100 people to think about Shangcai.
Zhen's caravans and ships could be seen everywhere along the way, which made Yuan Shao sigh that this Zhen Yi is now worthy of being the largest merchant in Hebei.
Coming to the city gate of Shangcai County, Zhen Yi had already led the officials to wait at the city gate.
"On the lower Cai Ling Zhen Yi, meet Lord Assassin Shi" Zhen Yi immediately came up and saluted.
"Hey, you and my brother, where do you use such politeness?" Yuan Shao immediately helped Zhen Yi up.
Zhen Yi's eyes flashed with a gleam, as a big businessman in Hebei, he can do business so well, needless to say, he is also a personal master, now that Yuan Shaolai has nothing to offer, he must have something to ask for himself, Zhen Yi is ready for heavy bleeding.
Zhen Yi did not go to the county office, but took Yuan Shao to his mansion, which Zhen was full of wealth and nobility.
"What is the matter with Lord Thorn here?" Zhen Yi asked.
"Since my brother asked, I will also say it directly, the former turn this thief Kou Zhang Cheng made trouble, Shao was ordered to be the Jizhou Assassin Shi at the time of crisis, but this and the state Assassin Shi Ding Yuan, called the thief, is actually taking advantage of the fire to rob, and actually occupied the pot pass and did not return, so I want to ask my brother to help"
Shang Cai Ling Zhen Yi knew what Yuan Shao meant, but he still pretended to be surprised and said: "How much grain and grass does Lord Thorn Shi want."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately frowned, and said in his heart that this Zhen Yi was really difficult to deal with, so he had to say directly: "That's the case, the foolish brother plans to select five hundred elites from the army, mix them in the brother's caravan, and then take the opportunity to kill them, and take the Huguan Pass."
When Zhen Yi heard this, his face suddenly showed embarrassment.
"Brother Benchu, don't you know, although I, Zhen Yi, am a county order, but I am also a businessman, if I do such a thing, I am afraid it will be difficult for my Zhen clan to gain a foothold in the future."
Zhen Yi told the truth this time, if Shang Jia did this kind of thing, who would dare to do business with her Zhen family in the future?
"Don't worry, brother, this businessman is never a long-term solution, brother might as well come to Jizhou, how about we take charge of Jizhou together?"
Yuan Shao's words spoke to Zhen Yi's heart, in the era of the late Han Dynasty, unlike the later generations, only with money, everything is easy to do, the businessman of this era is the lowest profession, there is a way to be a farmer and a businessman, that is to say, even the status of farming is higher than that of a businessman, this is an out-and-out lowly profession.
And Yuan Shao is like this, so that Zhen Yi can feel what he means, and when the time comes, give Zhen Yi a half-official position, and the entire Zhen family is not all his own? In this way, he can not only get through the pot pass, but also get Zhen's grain and grass, which is a wonderful plan to get the best of both worlds.
But Zhen Yi is also an old fox after all, how can he be so easy to deal with?
"Brother Benchu, you are laughing" Zhen Yi snorted haha. Then he said: "Come on, serve the food"
After a while, a maid brought wine and food.
Yuan Shao saw that this old fox was not easy to deal with, and his heart was also a little impatient, and he had no appetite for food, and then said: "Brother, you are six in your Chinese New Year's Eve this year, right?" ”
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, Brother Benchu is also thirty-eight this year, right?"
"Yes, I heard that you have a daughter, fourteen years old, born like a fairy, it just so happens that I also have two sons Yuan Xi who are not married, why don't we marry as children?"
As soon as Yuan Shao said this, he threw a bombshell to Zhen Yi, this era is the time when political marriage is prevalent, don't talk about others, just say that He Jin, but a pig killer, relying on his sister to become the queen, he is also a rising tide and has become a powerful general, which shows the power of this.
Besides, this Yuan Shao is the fourth and third duke, but he is the world's leading wealthy family, and he is a businessman, if he offends Yuan Shao this time, then he will inevitably have a stalemate with Yuan Shao in the future, and it will not be beneficial to anyone at that time.
"Thanks to the first brother, I can afford it, and I promise it in the next place"
When Yuan Shao heard this, his heart suddenly blossomed, and since then, he has successfully tied Zhen Yi to his chariot.
"What about this pot?"
"Please rest assured about this" Zhen Yi paused for a moment, and then said: "However, if this is the case, it is best to contact Zhang Cheng of Qingyun Peak"
