"General!"

Ma Chao got up suddenly, and pleaded with a face: "The young general and Li Thief have a deep enmity like the sea, please let the young general stay in Chen Cang and fight to the death with him in the future!" ”

Li Wei looked at Ma Chao and felt a little regretful.

This kid is only fourteen years old, and he is already a military champion, and with a little training, he is a general. With such a potential stock, Li Dao is naturally reluctant to give up.

But Dong Zhuo spoke, what could Li Dao do?

Shaking his head, Li Dao said: "Meng Qi, it's because you have a deep enmity with that Li Chongxiao that you can't let you stay here." That Li Chongxiao slaughtered Han Sui and defeated a million Huns, and the army was too strong, even Xiangguo had to temporarily avoid the edge. You are here, if you are impulsive one day and provoke Li Chongxiao, it will be difficult to do! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he finally came to his senses.

For a while, sadness began in my heart, and I was at a loss.

Even a strong man like Dong Xiangguo has to avoid the edge of the Li thief? Revenge, how far away?!

Seeing this, Li Wei couldn't help but sigh slightly, and comforted: "Dong Xiangguo's order, this general does not dare to disobey. Furthermore, Meng Qi, this is also for your good. You're still young, and you have a lot to do in the future. Temporarily avoid the Liangzhou soldiers, go to the Kwantung princes to practice their hands, and sooner or later they will be able to take charge of the side alone. ”

Ma Chao left Li Weishuai's tent in despair, and the next day, he led a battalion of soldiers and horses, and finally looked at the west in a complicated way, and resolutely went east

Lingzhou City, Liangzhou Mu, Zhengxi General's Mansion.

In the hall, there were seven or eight people, sitting on both sides of the row, talking to each other, buzzing. These people were the envoys of Yizhou who came to meet Li Zheng.

"I thought that the land of Yizhou was the crown of the world. But I didn't expect that there would be such a strange scene in this desolate state, and it was incredible! ”

"Yes, two years ago, this Liangzhou was still a mess, and in the blink of an eye, it became a paradise in the world, tsk, magic!"

"Listening to what those businessmen said, I still didn't believe it, but I didn't expect that I was lonely and unheard"

"Liangzhou Mu and General Zhengxi have arrived!"

A clear drink made everyone in the hall slightly stunned, and immediately sat upright and kept silent.

Li Zheng'e was crowned with a big belt, his big sleeves fluttering, and he walked out of the back hall, and a pair of eyes glanced at the people in the hall, and then slowly sat down.

"Meet Liangzhou Mu and General Zhengxi!"

Everyone in the hall got up and bowed to Li Zheng.

"No need to be polite, please take a seat."

Li Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Wait for the envoy of Yizhou, who is the leader?" ”

The young scribe on the right arched his hand slightly and said: "I am engaged in Huang Quan in the governance of Xia Yizhou, and I have seen Liangzhou Mu and General Zhengxi!" ”

"Huang Quan?" When Li Zheng heard this, he couldn't help frowning. The name is somewhat familiar.

"Exactly down there."

"And this one again?" Li Zheng raised his eyes and looked at the person on the left.

"Yan Xi in Xia Yizhou."

"Yan Xi?" Li Zheng smiled slightly: "But the Yan family? ”

"General Mingjian."

Li Zheng nodded slightly.

"So, why did you two come to see General Ben?" Li Zheng picked up the bronze jue, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile.

Huang Quan bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "My lord Liu Yizhou heard that the general had broken the Huns, and sent a special envoy to congratulate him, attach a number of congratulatory gifts, and have something to discuss. ”

Li Zheng smiled slightly, and said, "Liu Yizhou is polite," and then turned to Yan Xi: "I don't know what the Yan family is about?" ”

"General Mingjian!" Yan Xi got up and saluted, bowed and said: "Liangzhou's specialty is the best in the world, and I, Yan's businessman, naturally won't miss it." This time I came to meet the general, just for one thing. Please allow me to trade with Liangzhou on a large scale! ”

"Oh?" Li Zheng showed interest on his face, but said: "Then the Yan family must know the commercial policy of my Liangzhou, I can not collect tariffs, but the transaction tax must not be less, this is the basic principle." ”

"I understand below." Yan Xi said: "Rules are rules, and I, Yan, will never break the general's rules." ”

"Okay." Li Zheng smiled, but then said: "The Yan family has been trading with me in Liangzhou for a long time, and although the scale has always been small, the contribution is not small. If you want to trade on a large scale, I can allow it. But I have some advice here. ”

"Please make it clear to the general."

"In the name of the official, General Ben wants to ask the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to sign an agency agreement with your Yan family." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Agency agreement?" Yan Xi looked puzzled.

"Exactly." Li Zheng said: "For example, my Liangzhou official sold a large number of goods to Yan's, and let Yan's act as an agent for the exclusive right to sell these goods in certain areas. For example, Yan's agent has the exclusive right to sell acanthocarp pigs in Yizhou, so I will not sell acanthoys to other merchants in Yizhou in Liangzhou. Got it? ”

When Yan Xi heard this, his heart couldn't help but move, he thought about it, and was immediately overjoyed: "I understand, I understand!" ”

"It's good to understand, the specific agreement, you go to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to discuss In addition, there are many specialties in Liangzhou, and it is impossible to completely hand them over to your Yan agent, so you have to be mentally prepared!"

Yan Xi's face was slightly solemn, and he made a gesture, and slowly withdrew from the hall with a few of his subordinates.

In the hall, only Huang Quan was the official envoy of Yizhou.

Huang Quan, on behalf of Liu Yan, wanted to discuss major matters with Li Zheng, so naturally he couldn't say it clearly in front of Yan Xi and others. Even if Yan Xi may have known about it, he still has to do it on the face. After all, he is a businessman, and the representative is the Yan family.

"Huang Zhi, now that the idle people have left, what do you want Liu Junlang to do?" Li Zheng was careless.

Huang Quan frowned when he heard this.

Li Zheng's words were too frivolous, which made him feel unhappy.

After settling down, Huang Quan spoke: "This time, I was entrusted by the lord to come to meet the general, and there are two things to discuss. ”

Li Zheng listened.

"First, my lord heard that Liangzhou's armor is strong, so he wants to purchase a batch of armor from the general."

"Second, my lord wants to form an alliance with the general to fight against Dong Zhuo."

When Li Zheng heard this, his mind turned, and he said: "The general agreed to the purchase of military armor." After Huang went down, he directly negotiated the price with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. ”

Huang Quan nodded when he heard this.

"As for the alliance" Li Zheng smiled: "Liu Junlang is in Yizhou, and Zhang Lu is blocking in Hanzhong, how is he going to form an alliance with me?" Did you join forces with me first and kill Zhang Lu? ”

When Huang Quan heard this, he smiled and said: "Zhang Lu is just a clown, if my lord is willing, he can kill him and take Hanzhong in the palm of his hand, don't care about this." And Dong Zhuo controls the government and dominates the world, and is the primary enemy of the princes of various states and counties. The general is all based in Liangzhou, and the next target must be Guanzhong Sanfu, with the help of my lord, wouldn't it be easier? ”

"Haha," Li Zheng laughed: "Liu Junlang is willing to contribute to me?" There is no benefit in this world for nothing, sue me, what does Liu Junlang want? ”

"Son of Heaven!" Huang Quan's eyes were blazing.

"Son of Heaven?" When Li Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Could it be that this Liu Yan also wants to play the trick of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes? Or is he a loyal servant?

Li Zheng didn't believe it.

Whether he is in alliance with others or not does not matter to Li Zheng. He didn't need to form an alliance with others, let alone an ally like Liu Yan who didn't have much use.

After a few turns in his heart, Li Zheng suddenly said: "It's okay to form an alliance, and even my Liangzhou can provide Liu Junlang with some material support." But General Ben has conditions. ”

Huang Quan's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Please make it clear to the general." ”

"I want people." Li Zheng leaned forward slightly, looked directly at Huang Quan, and said: "Scribes and generals, regardless of age and age, as long as they are good and beautiful, I want them in Liangzhou." You go back and tell Liu Junlang, if he has no opinion, then send someone to bring it over. If I can be satisfied, then the armor and food can support him! ”

When Huang Quan heard this, he couldn't help but feel strange.

"And." Li Zheng suddenly thought of a little more, and added: "Before you leave, you can go to the mercenary union under my rule to have a look, maybe there will be gains." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Huang Quan to speak, he got up and entered the inner hall.

In the inner hall, there are Xun You, Jia Xu, Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng sitting and waiting.

"Lord!"

The four of them bowed.

Li Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Huang Quan's words just now, several gentlemen must have heard it in their ears, I don't know what to think?" ”

Several people glanced at each other, and Xun You spoke: "Dong Zhuo purchased our Liangzhou armor, I heard that we won a few battles in the eastern part of the country, and the princes were crushed to death, and Sun Jian was driven out of Luoyang. Recently, Dong Zhuo seems to be planning to move south, which must have touched Liu Junlang's nerves, and he just wanted to find an ally to contain Dong Zhuo. ”

The other three all nodded yes.

Xi Zhicai said: "After Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, instead of being weak, he became stronger and stronger, which put huge pressure on the surrounding princes. It is not surprising that Liu Junlang did this. ”

Tian Feng said: "The big man has come to this point, Liu Junlang's crime is unforgivable!" When the state pastoral system was restarted, it was this person who raised yì. Soon after this person arrived in Yizhou, Zhang Lu immediately seized Hanzhong and blocked the connection between Yizhou and the imperial court, which must have been done by Liu Junlang. Now that Dong Zhuo is powerful, Liu Junlang is afraid that Zhang Lu will not be able to stop Dong Zhuo's troops, so it is reasonable to seek allies to contain Dong Zhuo. ”

Jia Xu's eyes flickered on the side, but he didn't speak.

Li Zheng smiled and said, "Forming an alliance or not is okay with me." However, he can take advantage of this opportunity to squeeze some benefits from Liu Junlang. ”

Hearing this, the rest of them laughed.

"There are four people here in Liangzhou now, so I naturally have peace of mind. However, there is still a big gap between middle and low-level officials. Dig some from Yizhou, but it can solve the urgent need. ”

"If Huang Quan gets the news of the mercenary union and goes back to say that Liu Yan is moved, you can think of a way to open the mercenary union in Yizhou, and take Yizhou for me as a precursor."

Hearing this, the four of them bowed slightly.

They were in the back hall, and the conversation between Li Zheng and Huang Quan was heard in their ears. The four of them are all outstanding people, and when they heard Li Zheng mention the mercenary union at the end, they all understood Li Zheng's intentions.

Tian Feng said: "Liu Junlang is an old fox, he may be tempted, but he will definitely not agree to the lord to open the mercenary union to Yizhou." ”

"It's just a temptation. It doesn't work, it doesn't work. Li Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't expect this." ”

"It's good that the lord knows it in his heart."

Tian Feng said.

"The first Qin was able to sweep the six countries and win the world, and it was indispensable to take the lead in Yizhou. Therefore, Yizhou is bound to win, even if I temporarily put down Guanzhong and ignore it, I must take Yizhou first. Li Zheng pondered: "But the difficulty of Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky." It is not easy to capture Yizhou. It would be fine if the Sky Warriors under my command reached a scale, but unfortunately it was just a delusion, and it would take at least a few years for the Sky Warriors to become large. If you want to take Yizhou, you can only work hard from other aspects. It's just a test to see how Liu Junlang reacts. ”

"Perhaps" Xun You said at this time: "Maybe you can build a road from Longxi and go straight to Yizhou!" Now Liangzhou is rich in human resources, and it is not impossible. ”

When Li Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but fall into thought.
