"How much money do you have?" was asked by Yuan Xi like this, and immediately both of them showed a kind of vigilance, money and grain are the capital of these two brothers, if they take out this money and grain, then they really have no possibility of turning the tables.

You must know that although the two are sitting together now, the suspicion between each other has not diminished at all.

Now hearing Yuan Xi's question, everyone became vigilant.

Yuan Xi couldn't help but feel bitter when he saw the appearance of his eldest brother and his third brother, could it really be that God didn't bless him Yuan family, why did his father take a fancy to him, and his father's eldest son was in such a situation.

"Eldest brother, third brother, these money are not given to me Yuan Xi, but to buy grain and grass!" Yuan Xi said to his eldest brother Yuan Tan and third brother Yuan Shang.

"Where is the second brother, my brother still doesn't trust you, you and I are brothers!" Seeing Yuan Xi's appearance, Yuan Tan snorted, he knew that he had wronged Yuan Xi and spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, but the third brother Yuan Shang over there was also an ordinary appearance, which made Yuan Tan feel a little more comfortable.

"That's right, the eldest brother is right, if you want money, second brother, you can take it at will!" Yuan Shang also said it very freely, but if Yuan Xi didn't say anything, I was afraid that our third son Yuan would be able to turn his face on the spot.

Although Yuan Tan was bitter in his heart, he also knew that the enemy was current, and this was not the time to think about anything else.

"Second brother, I have 150,000 gold in my hands!" Yuan Tan took out a number and said to Yuan Xi.

"Second brother, I also have about 100,000 gold." Yuan Shang also said his number. 100,000 gold, 150,000 gold. That adds up to 250,000 gold. That's not a small number. From here, it can be seen that this veteran scholar clan has a huge heritage, you look at Jiangdong Sun Ce, after the defeat of the Battle of the Yangtze River, the entire Jiangdong can't come up with money, he Sun Ce is basically empty in his pocket, and Yuan Tan Yuan Shang is now driven out by Cao Cao from Jizhou, Qingzhou and Bingzhou, it can be said that the strength of the main topic has shrunk by more than half, but he can still take out these hundreds of thousands of gold. And Yuan Xi really knows that these money is not the limit of his two brothers, if these two brothers really go all out, Yuan Xi believes that there is no problem with 500,000 gold.

"Okay, 250,000 gold, 150,000 gold for grain and grass, 100,000 gold for armor and weapons, equip the army!" Yuan Xi told his two brothers his plans. 150,000 gold of grain and grass can buy about 300,000 stones, enough for the army to consume for half a year. As long as he persists, Cao Cao's 300,000 army will not last long. for 300,000 people shall also eat and drink from Lazar's. The grain and grass in Qingzhou, Jizhou and Zhouzhou were either taken away by Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, or those that could not be taken away were burned by the two brothers, which was still done well, so Cao Cao wanted grain and grass In addition to the grain and grass obtained from Yecheng at the beginning, there was also a grain and grass that was transported from Yanzhou Zhili from Xudu, and the cost was too high.

"Second brother, with all due respect, where can I buy grain, grass, armor and weapons now?" Yuan Tan frowned and asked. The west has been completely blocked by Cao Cao, Cao Cao will never allow a trace of grain and grass to be sent to Youzhou, the north is the territory of foreign tribes, those Karasuma people, Xianbei people, they can't eat enough, as for weapons and armor, it's a joke, they don't have iron ore and can't hit iron.

"Big brother, the north and west are blocked, isn't there an east!" Yuan Xi said to his eldest brother.

"You mean Liaodong Gongsun Du?" Yuan Tan asked suspiciously.

"Exactly!" Yuan Xi nodded.

"This Liaodong Gongsun Du, isn't he also a poor ghost, just those places in Liaodong that are not plucked, does he have grain and grass to sell us? Second brother, you won't be brushed by that Gongsun Du! "Yuan Shang looked down on this so-called king of Liaodong at all, because since the beginning of their Yuan family, this Gongsun Du has been pretending to be a grandson, he is not even an opponent of Gongsun Zhan, he was basically hung and beaten by Gongsun Zhan, and Gongsun Chan is a loser under his Yuan family, the Yuan family looks down on Gongsun Du even more, it is Gongsun Du who begged the Yuan family to trade with him, and the only thing Gongsun Du can sell is those wild goods, some mountain ginseng, and some medicinal materials. It can be said that he is a poor jingle person.

But now they want to buy grain and grass from Liaodong to buy weapons and armor, isn't it a joke?

"Third brother, it's not what it used to be!" Yuan Xi shook his head and said to Yuan Shang, "Their Yuan family is no longer the original northern overlord Yuan family, and Gongsun Du has also changed from a dog of the Yuan family to the current king of Liaodong.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were a little silent, they also knew that their father Yuan Shao's foundation was squandered in their hands little by little, but they didn't feel that it was their own mistake at all, but it was definitely the other party's mistake, if he Yuan Tan (Yuan Shang) recognized my position as a general, this Cao Cao would have been eliminated long ago. But even if there is an opinion, the two of them have not revealed it now.

"This Liaodong Gongsun Du, I don't know where he has a trade with Liu Mang, the king of Shu who is far away in Yangzhou!" Yuan Xi explained to the two brothers.

"Liu Mang, King of Shu?" Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan are not unfamiliar with this name, and there is even a trace of shame and anger, that Liu Mang scoundrel?

Yuan Shang immediately scolded, because ah, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan were still using troops against Cao Cao, Yuan Shang hoped that Liu Mang, the king of Shu, would send troops, that is to say, he would attack from afar and close to Yangzhou, and unite with Liu Mang in Yangzhou, as long as Liu Mang sent troops, then he Yuan Shang would give Liu Mang benefits.

But Liu Mang swallowed this benefit, but this soldier and horse was not a thing, he took half of Xuzhou under the banner of Yuan Shang, kicked Yuan Shang away with the last kick, and took Yuan Shang's bounty, which is simply bullying.

"Let him pass the past of the third brother!" Yuan Xi comforted Yuan Shang to himself, and Yuan Tan on the side was also a little ashamed, because it was he Yuan Tan and Cao Cao who practiced at the beginning that made Yuan Shang want to join forces with Liu Mang in Yangzhou.

"This Shu king Liu Mang opened up a trade route on the sea, and a steady stream of grain and grass from Yangzhou Jiangnan could be transported to Liaodong by sea, and Liaodong Gongsun Zhan relied on war horses to exchange for grain from Jiangnan and those armor and weapons." Yuan Xi came prepared.

Yuan Xi clapped his hands, and several armorers walked out from behind him, one of them was holding armor in his hand, and the other was holding a war knife weapon in his hand.

"Big brother, third brother, please look, this is the battle armor sold in Yangzhou!" Yuan Xi said to Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and the others, and what they were holding in their hands was the conjoined armor of the ordinary soldiers of the Yangzhou Army and the steel knife formed by molten iron. Glittering. (To be continued......)
