It was Xuntong guò a tongue and a lotus flower with a gold seal, which could barely be regarded as the Pingyang Southern Xiongnu force with Huchuquan as the fool on Cao Cao's thief ship. Of course, it is unrealistic to really ask the Huns to fight to the death for themselves, or more accurately for Cao Cao, but at least in the process of Yuan and Cao Cao's struggle for hegemony, the Huns should be willing to stand on Cao Cao's side and wave their flags and shout.

In a sense, even if this is the most basic goal of this northward journey, the Huns can be responsible for facing the defense in the direction of Taiyuan, even if the Yuan army kills, with Xun's analysis, they can at least block a certain division for more than half a year. With the golden seal and his own foolishness, it is unlikely that Hu Chuquan will defect in the short term, and he will not allow Yuan Jun to penetrate deep into his territory in the four counties of Pingyang.

Of course, the Huns must be profit-first, Hu Chuquan can hold the gold seal in his hand, and be the top order, although it is an unrefusable benefit given by the Cao family, but the Yuan family basically can't come up with anything - the name is not for the time being, even if the food and materials, the current Yuan family is only more stretched than the Cao family, and it is impossible to fund the Huns on a large scale, so as to promote their defection. However, if the Yuan army was indeed powerful and had the absolute upper hand in the war against Cao, then it would not be surprising that the Xiongnu turned towards Qin and Chu in an instant.

It's just that for now, this is not very likely. Not to mention that the power of the Cao family is now enough to fight against the Yuan family, even in the original history, the two armies confronted each other in Guandu, and the military strength in the history books is not credible. In this case, a long-term confrontation, although Cao Cao was in a weak position. But he did not take half a step back, and the Xiongnu who were far away in Pingyang could not see the possibility of the final victory, and would not believe that Cao Cao would be defeated.

Therefore, Xun has successfully completed his first step plan, and it is time to start the second step and put forward conditions to Hu Chuquan.

But what are the best conditions? The Xiongnu were asked to garrison Pingyang. Resisting the possible invasion of Yuan's army is naturally the proper meaning of the question, but it is basically not necessary to say it explicitly. In other aspects, Shi Xun originally visited Pingyang in advance, wanting to try to obtain certain materials and grain from the Xiongnu, or directly ask for it. Or get it through the guò market. But he had basically dispelled this unrealistic idea two days ago.

Tong Guò's interrogation of Molly, and the tentative results of Tong Guò's conversation with Qubei, are Xun sadly realized that the Xiongnu's financial situation is only more stretched than his own. First, Hu Chuquan couldn't come up with any materials to fund himself, and secondly. He originally hoped that he could use the newly created weapons and armor to exchange food and horses with the Huns, but now the Pingyang Huns, the food is not enough to eat until the autumn harvest of the following year, after entering the Central Plains, the number of horses has also decreased sharply, and even the maintenance of the cavalry of the clan is very difficult, how can there be spare money to fund the county government?

Shi Xun originally thought that the Xiongnu could become his arm. Now I am sadly aware that maybe they are just a burden that they can't shake off......

If he hadn't retreated to Linfen County the day before yesterday and occasionally saw something in the county, Shixun would have almost returned empty-handed.

During the banquet, Shi Xun, Zhang Ji, Hu Chuquan, and Qubei were staggered, and they were happy on the surface, but in fact, both sides were quite nervous in their hearts. Shixun was nervous, not knowing what he was asking for later, and whether the other party would agree or not. More importantly, will it offend the Huns because of this, but leave unnecessary cracks in the alliance; Hu Chuquan and Qubei are nervous, but I don't know what conditions this Taishou will prescribe - we are poor and white now, and we have almost nothing!

But after all, it can't be delicious and dispersible. After all, we have to get to the point. Therefore, when Hu Chuquan first expressed his determination: "Since our ancestors, we have respected the Han family, and we have guarded the Son of Heaven in Anyi and Luoyang, and if the Son of Heaven has a life, we will not dare to resign." Then he turned around and asked: "Taishou Xinmu Hedong, I don't know if you are familiar with the local people?" If you have any questions, we know everything. ”

On the surface, I will provide you with information and advice, but in fact, I am asking: What do you want to exchange for the golden seal? I don't have anything practical!

Shi Xun thought about it for a while, and simply said: "I heard that Pingyang is not rich in autumn grain, and the treasury is not full, is it true?" "You have a bad harvest this year, don't you have enough food?

Hu Chuquan glanced at him, what does it mean: You have made it clear to him, we are short of food? That's good, don't let him open his mouth and ask us for food. The current attention is Xun: "As the king said, I don't know if the county may have money?" ”

Shi Xun shook his head: "Around Anyi, this year is in peace, but I am afraid that the war is imminent, I must accumulate grass and grain, recruit soldiers, and have no money and food to fund Pingyang-although ......" He didn't wait for Hu Chuquan to fake a disappointed expression - it is impossible for him to fund the Huns, and this Hu Chuquan must have already made a clear play - the words suddenly changed: "If you need money and food, it is not difficult." ”

Hu Chuquan said "oh": "Please teach me too much." ”

Shi Xun stretched out two fingers and gave Hu Chuquan an idea: "If you are alone in guarding the four counties of Pingyang, if there are thieves to disturb you, you will cut them in battle and dedicate them to Xudu, and the court will give them its own money and grain." "If the Yuan army fights, can you help defend these four counties, and can kill and wound the enemy, are you afraid that the imperial court will not reward you? After all, you ran into the original guest army, which is different from us magistrates who were responsible for defending the territory.

It's not bad to say this, but when will the battle between Yuan and Cao start? Will Yuan Jun really kill Hedong County? If Yuan Jun waits for us to starve half to death before coming to fight, where will we have the strength to earn the rewards of the imperial court? "If there are no thieves to disturb the side, what can I do?"

Shi Xun smiled: "It's better to have no thieves to disturb the side." Then please go out of the east of the river to Taiyuan and the West River, in order to clear the thief atmosphere, and get along the way, will the imperial court still levy its tribute? After all, Yuan and Cao didn't officially tear their faces, and some words were not easy to say too clearly, so they all used the word "thief" to refer to Yuan Jun, and I believe that no matter how stupid the Huns were, they could understand it. What he meant was to call Chuquan to wave his army to Taiyuan County, strike at Yuan Shao's flank, feed the war with war, and obtain the materials needed from the battlefield.

Qubei kept a heartfelt eye, and asked with some hesitation: "In the past, I was too responsible for the king of Zuogu Lili to rob the people in Luoyang, and before I was accused of destroying the cultivation and weaving in Pingyang, if I robbed Taiyuan and Xihe. Is its court not guilty? "In order to weaken the Yuan clan now, you are instigating us to plunder other counties, will you hold on to this little braid in the future?

Shi Xun nodded slightly, and said in his heart that you are really smarter than Hu Chuquan, although I don't have the idea of unloading the mill and killing the donkey. But I don't want you to really kill and loot Taiyuan County and Xihe County, even if you don't consider the prestige of the imperial court and Cao Cao, you have to think about the livelihood of the common people. Besides, if I really borrowed the Xiongnu soldiers and wantonly ravaged the Han land, what would future generations say about me? At least on the web two thousand years later. I'm afraid I can't take off the hat of "traitor".

But he had already had a case against this, and immediately comforted and said: "The people of Taiyuan and Xihe are also the people of the court, how can they rob?" However, I heard that there were many thieves in the two counties, that is, the wealthy eunuchs also colluded with the thieves, and the Qing and others suppressed the traitors who attached to the thieves and took their stolen goods to supply the army. Which is not? What's more, the small people have money and food? In the high wall of the camp, self-storage is thousands, and it is beneficial to get it. "You go and rob the landlord, the Haoqiang, and the family, this is what I am happy to see. And at the end he added: "If they possess the thief, they will kill them all." There is no way to make false accusations to the imperial court. As long as you kill all the heroes and no one to complain to the court, you are not afraid that pigtails will fall into the hands of political enemies.

Hu Chuquan was overjoyed when he heard this: "I have been taught." "After the Huns came to Pingyang, they mainly relied on looting to make a living, but in the past two years, they have neither robbed Cao Cao, nor dared to rob Yuan Shao, so they have been poor day by day. Now you can play Cao Cao...... Ah no, the banner of the imperial court openly went to rob Yuan Shao. Do you still have to worry about not having enough food to eat? Besides, if Yuan Jun comes to fight Pingyang, it will be fine, if he doesn't come to fight, it means that Yuan Shao has no time to take care of his small four-county army, so don't take the opportunity to take a bite of meat. It's going to be a little longer.

However, seeing that Shi Xun sighed slightly: "There are many thieves in the state, not only Taiyuan and Xihe, but the thieves in the two counties are conscripted and suppressed, and the east flank of the river is worry-free." However, if the West River thieves invade from the north, what can I do? Therefore, I recruited soldiers, wanting to defend the palace, and I was also the same as the king, and I was worried about the lack of money and food. "If the Yuan army doesn't go through the Fenhe Valley and goes straight south from Xihe County, then I can't count on the Hun soldiers, I have to block it myself, but the Hedong County Government has limited money and food, and can't recruit too many soldiers, what can I do?

Hu Chu Quanxin said that he was going to officially open the conditions. But what do you really want? If there are only one or two hundred soldiers, dozens of horses, and hundreds of sheep, even if there is no exchange for the gold seal, even if you don't come in person, you don't even need to come, and you send a small official to ask for it, and for the sake of saving face, I will give it what I say. I can't afford to give more--but if you want to have such a small thing, a huge Hedong County, where can't you pick it out? Still running over to me and asking for it?

"We want to help each other too much, but the treasury is also empty."

It was Xun Chang who took a breath, and then said word by word: "I heard that the natives of the four counties of Pingyang, there are also people who don't know how to cultivate and weave, and the Huns are useless to stay, and it is a pity to abandon them, so it is better to be with Xun." ”

When Hu Chuquan heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Qubei. Indeed, the Han people in Pingyang and other four counties are not all farmers, but also many gentry, merchants, craftsmen, and so on. But the problem is, there are some people I definitely won't let go, so we have to make it clear first.

"If we live here, we also need healers, blacksmiths, etc., and I am afraid it will be inconvenient for us." Other craftsmen are just that, this doctor and blacksmith, the former can treat himself and even cattle and sheep, and the latter can build weapons, all of which are living treasures that the Huns desperately want to grab, how can they be returned to you?

It was Xun Xin who said that I really don't look down on the few doctors and blacksmiths in these small four counties - it seems that you don't understand who I want and what I am going to do? That's the best!

"I searched the county government books before, and among the four counties, there were no less than 3,000 cultivators and weavers. Now to ask for 2,000 households, you can choose from yourself. He deliberately aggravated the word "household", you have to give it to me one by one, you can't break it up for me, a family separated person can't serve me with peace of mind, but I have to spend energy to appease them, and second, you have to give me only a few thousand women and children, not an adult man, that's not possible!

Hu Chuquan pondered for a while, and finally agreed: "It's like the king's life." ”
