The origin of the storm is the invitation of Liangzhou bigwig Guo Yan again.

Guo Yan first gave away the teleportation scroll, and then he made efforts to worship the famous general in Yu Buzhi, and invited him again, Yu Buzhi couldn't help but give face and went as promised. When I arrived at the general's mansion, I saw that Li Dao, the actual person in charge of the Liangzhou Army, was also there, and Li Dao claimed that he happened to wander around and came in to ask Guo Yan for some wine to drink, but Yu Buzhi was not a young man who had just debuted, and he echoed it, and quietly looked at what medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.

During the banquet, Li Dao and Guo Yan intentionally or unintentionally asked about the situation in Shangjun Hu City.

It is not difficult to speculate on the general situation of Hu City, and it is impossible to hide it.

Seeing that Li Guo and the others listened very seriously, and frequently exchanged glances, Yu Buzhi couldn't help but go up and down in his heart, should these two be red-eyed and want to jump in to get a piece of the pie? This matter is not trivial, not only directly related to Yu Buzhi's vital interests (Zhulu Ling is the largest shareholder and beneficiary of Shangjun Hu City), but also involves the interests of many Kwantung princes, and from the position of the Kwantung princes, it is impossible to tolerate the Liangzhou Army to become a shareholder. If the Liangzhou army is unwilling to accept the reality, it is likely to lead to a second war between the Kwantung princes and the Liangzhou army.

In view of this, when Yu Buzhi talked to Li Guo and the others, he was no longer as casual as before.

Li Wei knew it and said: "We have no intention of getting involved in Shangjunhu City, Yuzhen East, you can rest assured." ”

Yu Buzhi breathed a sigh of relief: "General Che Cai, you can say this a little earlier......"

That's right, Li Wei is also a general of the chariot cavalry, just like Zhu Jun. In fact, Li Dao, the general of the chariot and cavalry, is the real thing, who will let the family hold the authority of the DPRK and China? Because Zhu Jun refused to go along with the Liangzhou Army and raised troops to confront him, he was deliberately deprived of his position by the Liangzhou Army, but the so-called fairness is in the hearts of the people, and the vast majority of people admire and sympathize with Zhu Jun between the government and the opposition, and they agree that Zhu Jun is the real general of the chariot and cavalry.

Li Wei smiled and said: "The business of the two major cities in Shanggu and Shangjun is booming, which shows that the trade with the Hu people is quite profitable, and if we don't hide it from General Zhendong, our Liangzhou army is indeed red-eyed." However, the gentleman does not take the favor of others, and we really admire Yuzhendong for expanding the territory of the Han Dynasty and raising the prestige of the country, and I can't bear to meet you in battle, so I have to give up......"

"General Duocheng carries love." Yu was unwise and gave up his hand, but said in his heart, how can you Liangzhou Army give face to your brother, you can't afford to provoke those princes behind Shangjun Hu City, for fear of provoking the Kwantung princes to jointly send troops again, but you have to say it so high-sounding. A gentleman doesn't take away the favor of others, and your Liangzhou army is embarrassed to call yourself a gentleman......

Li Wei obviously didn't know what Yu Buzhi was thinking, and continued: "However, most of the princes of Kwantung do not follow the king's orders, and the area controlled by the imperial court is not large, among which Liangzhou is withered, and it is still difficult to be self-sufficient, and it is impossible to pay taxes to the imperial court, and those who can really receive taxes are also subordinate to several counties. The land of several counties supported the great imperial court...... Don't hide it from the east of Yuzhen, the food and grass in the army are not enough, and the daily consumption of the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials is also quite tight, and this life is really difficult. ”

The fish is unwise, and his heart is stunned.

Chang'an's scarcity, even if Li Wei doesn't say it, Yu Buzhi knows it in his heart. Liangzhou has long been destroyed, there is really no oil and water, even if it is a little scum, it was picked up by Han Sui and Ma Teng, and it did not fall into the hands of the Liangzhou army. Sili was originally a prosperous place, but it was also poisoned by the war during the battle of Dong, Luoyang City was burned, and the richest Henan Yin ten rooms were empty, and only a few counties in the west of Sili were less affected, such as the land of Sanfu. The territory is small, and it is strange to support the Liangzhou army, as well as the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials of the imperial court, so it is strange that the use is not tight.

But Brother Li Dao is crying so poor in front of him, doesn't he really want to pick wool?

Is it a blessing or a curse, it is a disaster that can't be avoided, ask clearly, and then say, Yu Buzhi said: "What does the general mean?" ”

"Yuzhendong has a good business, the development momentum of the deer is gratifying, and Ba County is also thriving, and this time we get together, naturally I want to ask Yuzhendong for advice, to see if we can make a fortune together. Earn more money and goods, so that the Son of Heaven can be used more comfortably, and the officials in the court and the central government do not have to be too constrained. Li Dao said in a deep voice.

Yu Buzhi sighed in his heart, and sure enough, he still had thoughts about Hu Shi, and the wolf's ambition was revealed. But if a fish is not wise, is it a person who is afraid of things? The prestige of [Tutu Yingjie] has been in full swing recently, the main city and the governing area are far away from the Liangzhou army, but the dragon leader is slightly more risky, but Shangjun has the support of Zhu Jun, Li Dao Guo Yan has to take the initiative to start a war against Zhu Jun, and the fish is not wise to dare to remove the word in the middle of the name, and there is no possibility of being coerced by the Liangzhou army. I was so worried before, first, I didn't want to make extraneous branches, second, I didn't intend to openly stand on the opposite side of the Liangzhou army, and third, the other party had the meaning of giving a scroll, and I was quite generous to myself in the title of general.

If the Liangzhou army thinks that it can knock on the unwise bamboo pole, it is obviously the wrong target.

"Shangjun Hu City, I don't count what I said." Yu Buzhi said, with a faint sense of alienation in his words.

Li Dao and Guo Yan obviously noticed the change in Yu Buzhi, and the two glanced at each other and shook their heads secretly. The Liangzhou army didn't dare to ask for business opportunities in Hu City, but if it was said that they were not interested in Shangjun Hu City, it was obviously a lie, and the two actually intended to move with affection, hoping that Yu Buzhi would take the initiative to give a share for the sake of the Son of Heaven and Baiguan, but Guan Yu was unwise and looked like the rumors, soft and hard.

Plan A doesn't work, change to plan B.

Li Wei sang with a red face and said, "Why did Yuzhendong say this? In our position, how can we covet the goods of others? ”

Guo Yan sang with a white face: "Let's say it bluntly, we want to do business in partnership with you, but we don't covet the business of Shangjunhu City and Hetao, we can't look down on it, and if we want to do it, we can do it!" ”

Yu Buzhi was stunned: "What are you doing?" ”

"Out of Liangzhou, through the countries of the Western Regions, there are Kushan and rest in the west, and it is said that there is Rome in the west, all of which are comparable to my Han Dynasty. Those countries were very obsessed with the silk, magnets, and tea produced by our Han Dynasty, and it was said that a silk horse could be exchanged for the same weight of gold, and earn a lot of wealth for our Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, due to the decline of national strength, the Han gradually lost control of the Western Regions, and trade with the Western Kingdom was interrupted. You have made a hot scene in Shangjun Hu City, and we think that if we can resume trade with the western kingdom and solve the dilemma of lack of money, it will be good for us and for the Son of Heaven and all officials. Guo Yan said bluntly.

The fish was not wise and burst into tears.

Ni Mei, this is to reopen the Silk Road!

The Liangzhou army actually has such courage, it is really unseemly.

Yu Buzhi later learned that the Liangzhou army came up with a way to reopen the Silk Road, which was directly related to him.

Li Dao really couldn't think of a way, so in the end he had to consult with the ministers of the DPRK and China.

The hundred officials did not dare to directly anger the Liangzhou army, but they have never cooperated, because the salary in Chang'an is too low, this time the hundred officials were unexpectedly very cooperative, and offered suggestions to reopen the Silk Road. The ministers' hearts are like mirrors, no matter how rebellious the Liangzhou army is, the opening of the Silk Road, the treasury revenue is bound to be greatly improved, at the big point it is said that the life of the Son of Heaven will be more comfortable, and to the small point of view, the small life of their own family can also be improved, so this time the courtiers and the Liangzhou army rarely have the same interests.

If you come up with a good idea, you have to be able to do it.

The road to the Western Regions, under the joint control of the Liangzhou Army, Ma Teng and Han Sui, Chang'an has unique geographical conditions. However, such a big thing as reopening the Silk Road can not be completed by the power of Chang'an alone, for example, the Han specialties that sold well in the West in the past mainly came from the Kanto, Liangzhou and Sili regions, and the Chang'an courtiers thought about it and came to the conclusion that they had to find a collaborator.

Finding the deer leader to cooperate was the result of a compromise between the Liangzhou army and the ministers of the court.

Why don't you look for someone else, it's not wise to look for fish alone?

There are many reasons for this, but the most important one is the issue of trust.

The Liangzhou army was not in the right position and was unpopular, and even if the Kwantung princes were willing to cooperate, they did not dare to believe it, which directly excluded the vast majority of the Kwantung princes. The Liangzhou Army originally intended to cooperate with Yizhou Mu Liu Yan or Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, after all, both of them were born in the clan, with real power and state pastor, and there were many people under their rule, and the most important thing was that the jurisdiction of the two was bordering the territory of the Liangzhou Army, and it was quite convenient to carry out commercial cooperation. Unexpectedly, the courtiers resolutely refused to agree, and found a lot of reasons to say how these two people were not suitable, in fact, the Liangzhou army understood that the courtiers were very disgusted with Liu Biao and Liu Yan only caring about being the emperor of the soil, and the lack of practical support from the clan and the society.

In other words, the Liangzhou Army may be arbitrary, but the reopening of the Silk Road is mainly business, and a group of martial artists of the Liangzhou Army can do this? This matter is inseparable from the help of hundreds of officials.

In this way, there is only one suitable person: Yu is not wise.

From the perspective of hundreds of officials, Yu Buzhi is [Tuotu Yingjie], and he is a loyal and upright person from beginning to end, and he readily accepts it; The Liangzhou Army also recognized Yu Buzhi for opening up the territory of the country, and although Yu Buzhi's past behavior was always towards the imperial court, after all, he was not as hostile to the Liangzhou Army as the princes of the Nineteenth Road - Yu Buzhi's participation in the crusade against Dong Zhuo was selectively forgotten by the Liangzhou Army, after all, someone had not yet become a prince - so it could be fought for. In addition, some time ago, the Liangzhou army showed favor one after another, and Yu Buzhi got the benefits, so he must have read some favors.

Aside from the reasons of trust, there are other advantages to fish unwiseness.

First of all, there is a chamber of commerce.

In fact, there are many big merchants in Chang'an, but the Liangzhou Army used to exploit the merchants and the rich too much, and they knew that they were hated, so they didn't dare to expect the merchants in Chang'an to really help themselves, but they were still not at ease. A certain city lord is a rare person of faith among players, and he has an excellent reputation between the government and the opposition, otherwise there would not be so many people who make friends with him, and he is relatively more trustworthy, and the Ant Chamber of Commerce has rich experience in trading with foreign races, which is quite suitable.

Secondly, fish have a good reputation.

It is convenient to get the goods, [Tutuo Yingjie] participates in the reopening of the Silk Road and shares worries for the imperial court, who is embarrassed to obstruct it?

Third, the deer chaser army can fight.

The Han dynasty is in decline, and the countries of the Western Regions are no longer under control, and if they want to open up the Silk Road, it is inevitable that there will be fights. The Liangzhou army can fight, but Li Dao Guo Yan hopes that the collaborators will send troops together, according to their logic, fight together, eat meat together, this is a matter of course, you are not there when you fight, what face do you have to eat meat? There are not many people who are qualified to fight side by side with the Liangzhou Army, and the Zhulu Army is definitely one of them.

Fourth, there is a special morality in chasing the deer.

Reopening the Silk Road, benefiting the country and the people, strictly speaking, is also the business of expanding the power to the outside world, [Expanding the Territory]! The only legendary soldier of the Han Dynasty, Beiying, is chasing the deer leader, and if he doesn't go out to bully the aliens, what kind of hero is it?

To sum up, it is concluded that it is not wise to look for fish, yes!

Fools know what it means to reopen the Silk Road, and the benefits contained are by no means comparable to Hu Shi.

Yu Buzhi was moved and asked, "How to cooperate?" ”

Guo Yan: "We are responsible for opening the passage from Chang'an to Liangzhou. You are mainly responsible for business related business, such as the preparation of export sources and the distribution of imported Western goods, and your chamber of commerce can take the lead and pull other merchants together. ”

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult." Yu Buzhi couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

The goods in and out have to pass through the hands of the Ant Chamber of Commerce, and they can pluck some hair casually...... Well, that's not the right thing to do! Too petty! The Liangzhou boss doesn't know how to operate, and whoever buys and sells is the final say, which is equivalent to a semi-monopoly, so how can he engage in those small actions that are not in the stream? However, Yu Buzhi was not carried away by the bright money scene, and keenly noticed that Guo Yan's words were not finished.

Yu Buzhi clenched his right hand into a fist, and then stretched out a finger: "Where does the capital come from?" ”

Li Wei and Guo Yan glanced at each other, and Guo Yan said embarrassedly: "You are responsible for the business aspect." ”

Yu Buzhi's face changed instantly, and he frowned: "It means that I paid the capital?" ”

Guo Yan sighed: "We will make up some of the first batch of goods, and I am afraid that you can only cushion them first, and we have no money." ”

The fish's face sank like water, and he stretched out his second finger.

"Just now, the general only said that Chang'an to Liangzhou, you are responsible for opening up, what about the west of Liangzhou?"

Li Dao: "The situation of the countries in the Western Regions is unclear, and they have just sent people out to investigate, but the countries have not been convinced by the king for a long time, and they may need to send troops to conquer and ensure the safety of trade routes." If there is a war, of course, our Liangzhou army is duty-bound, but business is not only our business, we also need to send troops, and we don't want you to send more, just Beiying. ”

Yu Buzhi finally couldn't help but blackface: "I'm in charge of commercial affairs, so I want to advance money for the first batch of goods?" The security of the Western Regions is still two words, and if I want to conquer, I have to send the only legendary army in my territory? The generals alone bear the responsibility of Chang'an to Liangzhou security, such cooperation is really cost-effective! ”

Li Dao's face flushed, and he was embarrassed to defend himself.

Guo Yan is more familiar with Yu Buzhi, and said haha: "The conquest is successful, and the business road is reopened, and everyone is benefited." ”

"Reconquer the Western Regions, the imperial court can reset the Western Regions Protectorate, the territory belongs to the generals, and the merits are also the generals', what can I leave behind? Is the court willing to give me the territory that has been conquered? ”

“……”

Li Dao Guo Yan was speechless.

At first, the Liangzhou army thought very simply, like conquering tribes in Liangzhou, conquering the small countries in the Western Regions, and did not think about setting up a capital and protecting the palace at all. The reopening of the Western Regions Protectorate and the reintegration of the Western Regions into the Han Dynasty's sphere of influence was undoubtedly a great achievement, and it was bound to bring unimaginable positive prestige to the Liangzhou army, and it was even likely to clear them from black to white, which they were not aware of before. Since he realized this, the land he had opened up naturally had to be under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and it was impossible to give it to Yu Buzhi.

Yu Buzhi sneered: "I just said how to cooperate with me, it turns out that I need a big ......."

Guo Yan: "It's not what you think, and think about it in the long run." ”

Yu Buzhi shook his head: "Let me say it clearly, only a fool is willing to agree to this condition!" ”

Li Wei thought for a while, and said solemnly: "Yu Zhendong, you might as well tell me what you think......
