Volume 1: Chapter 1012 of the Late Han Dynasty, a condition
Next chapter
The cavalry that went out of the city in Liyang City was Sun Jian and his subordinates who came to welcome Yang Rui into the city, and he still attached great importance to Yang Rui.
Yang Rui revealed his identity as soon as he came, not only because the transformation mask was also in the cooldown time at this time, but also because Yang Rui thought that in front of Sun Jian, Yang Rui didn't think it was necessary to hide his identity anymore.
After all, when the heroes were fighting Dong at the beginning, only Yang Rui and Sun Jian had a bit of friendship among the princes, and the two also brought Dong Zhuo the most trouble, and later captured Luoyang City together.
Of course, even if there is really an unexpected situation, Yang Rui has a way to get out in an instant.
Yang Rui can take out the soul of the prefecture-level Taoist Fu Seal Qianyun Fu Seal * at any time and use it, and after use, he can move 1,000 miles at will, which is enough to ensure his own safety.
Things were as Yang Rui expected, Sun Jian did come to greet Yang Rui in person, and his attitude was very polite, just like an old friend who hadn't seen him for a long time.
This is Sun Jian's character, even if he was still attached to Yuan Shu during the previous Xuzhou dispute, and overlapped with Yang Rui in terms of appeals, but Sun Jian took the opportunity to break away from the Xuzhou battlefield very early and never clashed head-on with Yang Rui.
"Lord Sun, please!"
Sun Jian welcomed Yang Rui into the inner city of Sanfu in Liyang City in a beautiful manner, and wanted to give Yang Rui up to the main seat, and treated Yang Rui with great admiration.
"Brother Wentai doesn't have to be like this, we can only see each other as brothers, just imagine that when Brother Wentai sits firmly in Jiangdong, how many princes in the world can compare?"
Of course, Yang Rui will not sit on any main seat, he is not Yuan Shu, at most, his official position and power are temporarily greater than Sun Jian. And Yang Rui is not interested in some false names and the like.
Originally, Yang Rui just politely pushed. However, when Sun Jian heard Yang Rui's words, he was not calm for a while. glanced at Yang Rui meaningfully.
At this time, the princes valued the Central Plains states, and the land of Jiangdong was not how to enter the eyes of the princes, Sun Jian did not expect Yang Rui to see his plan very clearly.
Sun Jian's indifference was just a flash, at this time, Yang Rui owned most of Qingzhou, Yanzhou and nearly half of Xuzhou, and the breadth of the area under his jurisdiction was also counted among the princes, so naturally he would not come with him to grab the land of Jiangdong.
At the same time, Yuan Shu did not have this kind of consciousness, his attention was in Yuzhou in the Central Plains, and he also had a lot of interest in Xuzhou and Yanzhou. Sun Jian was very clear about this, knowing that Yuan Shu would not come to fight for Jiangdong.
Moreover, the Sun family's forces have opened up a situation in Jiangdong, even if anyone wants to come to fight, they may not be able to bargain.
In this way, he dared to call him a virtuous brother of the sun, and he looked at Haihan if he was not careful. I don't know why the virtuous brother came to the remote place in Jiangdong, if necessary, he should do his best to manage the virtuous brother. ”
Sun Jian avoided some topics and inquired about the purpose of Yang Rui's trip.
"Brother Wentai should know that at this time, the land of the six northern states is in a state of forbidden soldiers, so he can steal a moment of leisure, and I happened to hear that Brother Wentai used troops in Jiangdong. So he came to visit Brother Wentai alone.
One is to visit old friends, and the other is to visit the beautiful scenery of Jiangdong. Therefore, there is no need for Brother Wentai to operate, but if Brother Wentai needs anything when he uses troops, he may be able to help one or two in the territory of my states.
Recently, I heard that Brother Wentai's horses and pig iron are slightly insufficient, I don't know if the news is true? ”
Of course, Yang Rui didn't just care about the old days, after meeting Sun Jian, Yang Rui gradually brought in the theme when he asked for warmth.
"Brother Lieyang is righteous, at this time he is really in urgent need of horses and pig iron, if the brother can supply some, he is grateful, and the money can be negotiated......
When Yang Rui mentioned strategic materials such as horses and pig iron, Sun Jian's eyes lit up and he immediately said, and at the same time, Sun Jian seemed to understand Yang Rui's purpose for coming.
Yang Rui can propose the supply of horses, pig iron, etc., naturally he has some confidence, pig iron Yang Rui has some excess inventory in his hands, not to mention the horses, because he has just subdued Wuhuan and Xianbei.
There were a large number of horses raised among the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes, and after the two tribes were subjugated, these horses naturally belonged to Yang Rui, and Yang Rui transferred all these horses to Ezo Island, where they were raised and bred by the two tribes.
According to general statistics, the number of horses raised by the two clans is more than 400,000, and almost every Wuhuan and Xianbei family can keep more than one! This is also one of Yang Rui's biggest gains from the Wuhuan and Xianbei clans.
After these horses are transferred to Ezo for breeding, their population may continue to expand.
From then on, even if Yang Rui no longer captures horses from the small town of Ledu in Liangzhou, nor does he buy horses from northern merchants, the number of horses he uses should be enough.
"I don't know how many horses and pig iron Brother Wentai needs, if it doesn't exceed the limit of what a certain institute can bear, it will definitely not disappoint Brother Wentai......"
"In this way, thank you Brother Xian in advance, horses, pig iron, etc. will be useful at any time, naturally the more the better, I don't know how much Brother Xian can take?"
“……”
Yang Rui and Sun Jian quickly entered the atmosphere of negotiating business, although neither of them was a treacherous person, but the business was naturally full of asking for prices and paying back on the ground, and there would be nothing wrong with it, so the two were also testing each other's details from the beginning.
"10,000 horses, 1,000,000 pounds of pig iron, 1,000,000 pounds of grain, all according to the current price plus 2 percent, how about settlement?"
"There aren't many problems with pig iron and grain, but I'm afraid there are too many horses......
After a meal, facing the conditions proposed by Sun Jian, Yang Rui suddenly groaned.
The number of horses and pig iron mentioned by Sun Jian is indeed not a small number, if these two strategic materials can keep up, I believe that the Sun family's schedule to unify Jiangdong will be much earlier.
As for the food, it was added in the process of Yang Rui and Sun Jian's talks, although the land of Jiangdong is usually not too short of food, but the current natural disasters in the civilization area of the Three Kingdoms are continuous, and there is not much surplus food in Sun Jian's hands.
"If you have the spare strength, I hope that the virtuous brother can be fulfilled, and firmly do not forget the kindness of the virtuous brother, but the virtuous brother has a need, and he should make every effort to promote it."
Seeing that Yang Rui had been silent for a long time but did not give a positive answer, and did not deny it, Sun Jian had already seen that Yang Rui might have left any conditions, so he took the initiative to ask.
For Sun Jian, if he can get this batch of materials smoothly, Jiangdong is almost certain, and he will naturally not miss this opportunity lightly.
"This is to help Brother Wentai, and he didn't have any long-cherished desires; However, Brother Wentai mentioned that a certain thing came to mind, if Wentai can agree to this matter, the matter of materials will be handled by a certain ......" (to be continued.) )
