Chu Huan was silent for a moment, and finally asked, "If you have something to say, what do you want to do?" ”

Gusa Heiyun smiled and said, "I haven't congratulated the horse on his ascension to the governorship, but before I came, the regent asked me to congratulate the horse on his behalf." ”

"I have been the governor of Xiguan Province for less than half a year." Chu Huan stared at Gusa Heiyun's eyes, "From Shuoquan to Deqingluo City, it will take more than a month, to say the least, and it will take nearly three months to go back and forth, and the Grand Ceremony Officer got the news of my appointment, at least three months ago...... It seems that your news is really well-informed, as soon as I took office here, someone sent the news to Xiliang, Grand Rite Officer, how many spies have you planted in Xiliang in the northwest? ”

Gusa Heiyun smiled and said, "The horse misunderstood, but some wounded soldiers couldn't retreat for a while, so it was inevitable to stay, and when they went back, they brought back this great news." ”

Chu Huan let out an "oh" and said, "Great news? Could it be that this governor went to Xiguan, is it good news for you? ”

Gusa Heiyun said with a smile: "Of course, it is good news that the horse is both civil and military, and it is sitting in Xiguan. ”

"For Xiliang, it's not necessarily good news." Chu Huan seemed to be smiling, "Grand Celebrant Officer, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the purpose of your thousands of miles here." ”

Gusa Heiyun smiled and said, "Donkey, as far as I know, a new salt ...... has appeared in Xiguan!" ”

Chu Huan's eyebrows tightened, but he didn't speak.

Gusa Heiyun hesitated for a moment before he said: "The regent knows that the horse is going to Xiguan, and he has always wanted to help the horse do something. ”

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Could it be that the Grand Celebrant is here to send silver to the Governor?" ”

"I have the heart to give money, but I'm afraid that the colt won't accept it." Gusa Heiyun sighed lightly, "The regent knows the character of the colt, so he came up with a plan. ”

"Method?"

"The Lord Regent is going to spend money to buy some new salt from the horses." Gusa Heiyun said softly: "We can pay twice the price, so that the horse has the silver, and it will not feel that we gave it away for nothing." ”

Chu Huan stared at Gusa Heiyun's eyes, and didn't speak for a long time, Gusa Heiyun was a little hairy by Chu Huan, and said with a dry smile: "Donkey, you...... I don't know what you think? ”

Chu Huan slowly got up and walked in front of Gusa Heiyun, and suddenly the knife flashed, and the blood drinking knife was already unsheathed and placed on Gusa Heiyun's neck.

Gusa Heiyun's face changed greatly, and he lost his voice and said: "Donkey, you ......!" ”

Chu Huan sneered: "Grand Celebrant Officer, you didn't tell the truth. ”

"Honestly?" Gusa Heiyun was a little panicked, "Donkey...... What does a colt mean? ”

"Let me ask you again, how is the Lord Regent now?" Chu Huan looked coldly at Gusa's black cloud's eyes.

A trace of cold sweat broke out on Gusa Heiyun's forehead, and he reluctantly smiled: "The regent is very good......!" Feeling that the blade on his neck was cold, it seemed to slide slightly, Gusa Heiyun's whole body trembled, and he was stared at by Chu Huan's indifferent eyes, and finally smiled bitterly: "Donkey, I'...... I'll be honest, Regent...... Regent: He's not doing well right now. ”

Chu Huan withdrew his knife and sneered, "What happened to Xiliang? ”

Gusa Heiyun raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and sighed: "Xiliang is now in full swing, the anti-thief Mahara colluded with Gusa's concubine, and the nine golden divisions of Xiliang are all involved...... ”

Chu Huan was stunned for a moment, and slowly sat down on the chair beside Gusa Heiyun.

"Mahara defeated Montenegro, fled to the Heishui Jura Division, and colluded with the Eagle Mountain Tibetan Tula Division." Gusa Heiyun's expression was solemn: "The regent led the army to quell the chaos, but the concubine Gusa fled back to the Gusa Department of Heavenly Wolf Mountain, eliminated dissidents, persuaded the Hanhai Delay Department, and marched into the Qingluo Prairie from the north ......!" ”

Chu Huan was surprised and delighted in his heart.

When he was in Xiliang, he could have killed Mahaluo, but he let the little prince go, and his original intention was to hope that the little prince Mahara would pull up a group of men and horses and fight against Mahazang.

After that, the intention of helping Concubine Gusa is also here.

He knows very well that Maha Zang is a very talented person, but also an ambitious person, if he completely controls the nine divisions of the Western Liang, then this person will definitely plot against the Central Plains, and the Western Liang army will inevitably make a comeback.

For the Central Plains, the more fierce the struggle within the Western Liang, the more powerful it was for the Central Plains.

Chu Huan only thought like this at the beginning, but he didn't dare to guarantee that the development of the situation would go according to the route he had in mind, but now it seems that his original idea has become a reality.

Whether it is Mahara, or the concubine of Gusa, they all escaped from their own hands, and now it is these two forces that have become Mahazan's fierce rivals.

Although he was quite happy in his heart, he frowned on his face and asked, "Concubine Gusa?" Didn't you catch her all this time? ”

Gusa Heiyun glanced at Chu Huan with a little deep meaning, and sighed: "That woman is cunning for many years, and I still don't know how she escaped from the well-defended Qingluo City. ”

Chu Huan smiled faintly and asked, "According to what you say, Mahara united the Zhula Department and the Tibetan Tula Department, the Gusa Concubine united the Gusa Department and the Chiyan Department, the Golden Nine Divisions, and four of them were in rebellion, and the regent still had the upper hand." ”

Gusa Heiyun hesitated for a moment before he said softly: "The Rakshasa tribe on the other side of the Rakshasa Sea is still standing still, neither sending troops to quell the chaos according to the regent's orders, nor falling to the Mahara...... The army that is now quelling the rebellion is composed of the Nashi Department of the Gulaqin Grassland, the Qingtan Department of the Mangha Grassland, the Liuli Department of the Daxue Mountain, and the Maha Department. After a pause, he sat up straight, and said, "We have the regent, and the king of the Southern Courtyard, the war is very beneficial to us, and it won't be long before the rebels will be put down." ”

Chu Huan bowed slightly, but he sneered in his heart, if the truth was really as easy as Gusa Heiyun, he wouldn't have to travel all the way to the northwest.

At least in Chu Huan's opinion, although Maha Zang is a powerful person, and there is Xiao Tianwen, the king of the Southern Courtyard, to help him, but among the rebels, after all, there is a concubine Gusa.

Concubine Gusa has never been an ordinary character, she returned to the Heavenly Wolf Mountain, and was able to quickly control the Gusa Ministry, and persuaded the Chi Yan Ministry, and even allied with Mahara, which proves that this woman's wrist is quite powerful.

"Now that your war is raging, the regent will have to ask for a large amount of military spending." Chu Huan looked at Gusa Heiyun with a smile, "Grand Celebrant Officer, at this time, the regent doesn't think about whether his military budget is sufficient, but also thinks about assisting me in revitalizing Xiguan, do you think this truth can be explained?" His face sank, and he said, "Grand Celebrant Officer, since you want to come to discuss with the Governor, you don't even have the most sincere attitude, I don't think we need to talk about it anymore." ”

Gusa Heiyun hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, in fact...... Hey, don't tell you, although the regent has plenty of soldiers and horses, and his morale is like a rainbow, but ...... We're short of salt! ”

"Lack of salt?" Chu Huanqi said: "Where do you start with this? ”

"I don't know that the salt in Xiliang has always come from Hanhai, and another part comes from the west." Gusa Heiyun frowned and said: "The Gusa Department is attacking the Liuli Department, and the battle is fierce, so the merchants in the west don't dare to come, and they can't get through here...... The Hanhai Delay Department betrayed the regent and cut off the salt road, and the Hanhai side was heavily guarded, and we also attacked the Delay Department, both times ...... failed! ”

Chu Huan had already understood, "Hanhai is in the hands of the rebels, the road to the west is blocked, and there are already problems with the two salt roads...... So you don't have any salt to eat now? ”

Gusa Heiyun sighed: "Horse, I have already told you all this, I sincerely came to buy salt from the horse, and I hope that the horse can sell salt. ”

Chu Huan sighed, "How long have you been here?" ”

Gusa Heiyun hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I have arrived at Shuoquan ten days ago, but I haven't come to visit. ”

"The new salt hasn't been on the market for a long time." Chu Huan frowned and said, "How do you know that I produce salt here?" ”

"To tell you the truth, when I set off, I didn't know that salt was produced here." Gusa Heiyun said sincerely: "It's just that the two salt roads have been cut off, and we can only go south." When I arrived at Shuoquan, I learned that the horse had come up with a way to make new salt, which really made me admire. At this point, there was already a glint in his eyes.

Chu Huan stared at the black clouds of Gusa, "The fact that the regent can send a great ceremonial official to come to the Central Plains in danger shows that your salt shortage is already very serious...... Celebrant Officer, let's be honest, how much salt do you still have? ”

Gusa Heiyun hesitated for a moment, saw Chu Huan's eyes staring at him, and finally said: "Don't dare to hide the horse, it has reached a very dangerous situation, the salt road has been sealed for a year, and millions of people have no salt to use, and now ...... Now even the Regent's food has been controlled with salt ......! Very embarrassed, he said: "The colt and the regent are friends, when he came, the regent said that there is no need to explain to the colt, if the colt agrees, it is a good feeling, if the colt does not agree, the regent also ordered me not to plead with the colt." ”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "The regent is an iron-clad man, and he has a backbone. ”

Gusa Heiyun sighed: "Although I said this, I still pulled down my old face and begged the horse to raise your noble hand and help us survive this calamity. As if thinking of something, he hurriedly said: "By the way, Tarange, the history department of Qiluo Talange is also short of salt, and now even Qiluo Talange is ...... without salt!" ”

Chu Huan knew very well that when there was no salt shortage, everyone would not think how important salt was, but once the salt shortage broke out, then everyone would realize the importance of salt.

There had been a salt shortage in Xiguan before, but fortunately, the salt shortage did not expand, and he used cold stones to make salt, which can be regarded as a solution to this major problem.

Once people lack salt for a long time, the body will be swollen, and the strength is gone, Maha Zang to quell the rebellion, even if the soldiers and horses are rich in ordnance and money, but the lack of salt, the soldiers' combat effectiveness will be seriously reduced, and even develop to a certain point, mutiny is inevitable, now those soldiers are still loyal to Maha Zang, but once there is a long-term lack of salt, they naturally cannot follow Maha Zang to destroy together, with the cunning of the ancient concubine, it will inevitably take the opportunity to plot against Maha Ran's subordinates, once there is a mutiny, it will spread.

Gusa Heiyun moved out of Qiluo, Chu Huan of course knew his thoughts, smiled faintly, and asked, "The regent asked you to buy salt from me at twice the price?" ”

Hearing Chu Huan's tone, Gusa Heiyun seemed to have hope, and hurriedly said, "Exactly...... Even if it's triple the price, we can accept it. ”

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Did the regent tell you that I would sell you salt?" ”

Gusa Heiyun hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Although you and I have had a grudge, but now we have made peace, and the horse and the regent have also lived and died together...... And once the horse opens up the trade with my Xiliang, it will be good for both you and me, and the regent thinks that the horse has a seventy percent chance of selling salt to us!" ”

Chu Huan laughed and said softly: "The regent is too confident, then I will tell you now, don't say three times the price, it is ten times the price and a hundred times, and I will not sell you a pound of salt!" ”
