No wonder Wen Dihan is so suspicious, because in recent decades, Daliang has been cracking down on smuggling Liao, and Wendihan has been guarding the border facing Daliang for the past ten years, and he is particularly touched.

It is not difficult for him to buy porcelain, silk and other luxury goods from the opposite side, but it is difficult to buy grain and salt, and sometimes he can't even buy tea.

After many years of operation, he was only tempted by a few people who were willing to take the risk of exporting grain and tea for him, and he also knew that Xu Lian, Su Zhang and others, who were also in the smuggling business, must have bought good horses from them.

He had been preventing Liao's horses from flowing into Liang, with the same purpose as Liang, to prevent the other side's military development.

He thought he was bold enough, but he didn't expect Lin Qingwan to be bolder and come here directly to talk to him about war readiness deals.

He leaned back, leaned back in his chair and asked, "Lord Lin shouldn't say that Emperor Liang wants to do this business, right?" ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingwan really nodded, "We know why you have gathered troops this year, because the grassland has been affected by disasters, and if there is no food, many people will starve to death." If there is no war, the people will rebel for their lives, and it is better to transfer the contradiction to my main beam than this. ”

Wu Shilang blinked, thought about it, and still didn't stop it.

Lin Qingwan continued: "Going south, not only can you grab food, but also consume a part of the population, even if you can't capture my Daliang in the end, the young and strong consume too much, they can't get up, third prince, am I right?" ”

Wen Dihan's face changed suddenly, and he stared at Lin Qingwan coldly and said: "Lord Lin will really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and the people of my Daliao, every one of them is a warrior, how could our royal court choose such a vicious strategy?" ”

Lin Qingwan said indifferently: "But this is the truth, in the past few decades, whenever there are irreconcilable contradictions between your royal court and the tribes or the people, you will organize troops to go south, and when you go back, whether you win or lose, those contradictions will no longer be the main contradictions, right?" ”

The lieutenant generals looked at the general in disbelief, because they found that what Lin Qingwan said seemed to be right.

Wen Dihan sneered: "Guessing my royal court with such malice, this is the attitude of Lord Lin's cooperation?" ”

Lin Qingwan smiled, "It is precisely because I want to cooperate with the third prince that I am so open and honest, and I am also not afraid to tell the third prince that our Great Liang does not want to fight, so I am willing to trade with you for grain, tea and salt, which may become war readiness, just to let the Liao State tide over this difficulty and calm the war." ”

"When did the Great Liang understand the righteousness so well?"

"Da Liang has always understood righteousness, but the Khan has always refused to give us this opportunity," Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "But I think the third prince is virtuous and will not be as stubborn as the Shuhu Khan." ”

"This Da Liao is still my father's Da Liao," Wen Dihan looked at her with blazing eyes and said, "Lord Lin is looking for me, I'm afraid I'm looking for the wrong one." ”

"It won't be wrong," Lin Qingwan said confidently: "As long as the third prince is willing, you can call the shots." ”

Lin Qingwan looked at him meaningfully and said, "In order to calm the war, my Liang is willing to help the third prince." ”

Wendihan narrowed her eyes and looked at her with a moody look.

Lin Qingwan raised a smile and asked, "So the third prince, don't you think about our cooperation?" ”

Wendihan lowered her eyes in contemplation, and the tent fell silent for a moment.

The lieutenants left behind by the Liao State looked at each other, what is the direction of this?

So they're going to work with the girders?

What is the purpose of cooperation?

Let the third prince replace the khan?

This thought skipped through their minds, and everyone was excited, and then looked at Wendihan with blazing eyes, if the general could be called a khan, they would naturally be heroes, and they would no longer have to be suppressed by the eldest prince and the second prince everywhere.

Wen Dihan was silent, and Lin Qingwan sat on the chair and waited patiently, not disturbing his thinking.

After a long time, Wen Dihan said lightly: "How do I know that Da Liang is sincerely cooperating with me?" ”

Lin Qingwan pointed to the box on the ground and said: "This box of jewelry will be given to the third prince, there is another box outside, we will trade a batch of furs and plush first, if the third prince really cooperates with us, then we are willing to trade grain with you in the second batch." ”

Everyone was in high spirits, and Wen Dihan couldn't help but sit up straight and asked, "Grain?" In exchange for what? ”

"Cattle, sheep and horses are fine," Lin Qingwan looked at him and said with a smile: "Third prince, food is very important, and I don't have much of a beam, all of which have to be squeezed out of the mouths of the people, so I hope that the food will be exchanged for something that can be imported or useful." ”

Wen Dihan said: "Horses can't work, but beef and mutton can." ”

"I don't want to kill good cattle and sheep," Lin Qingwan said: "You should know that the meat that can be consumed here at the border gate is limited, even if I want to do this business with you, I won't let myself lose too much, so I need to transport the cattle and sheep back to the Central Plains to sell, where there are many rich people." And the killed cattle and sheep are not easy to transport, even if the weather is cold now, it will deteriorate after a long time. ”

Wendihan looked at her deeply and said, "How much grain can you trade in the first batch?" ”

Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes and thought about it, reported a number, and seeing that Wen Dihan was not very satisfied, she smiled and said: "Third prince, I came in a hurry, this batch of grain still has to be transferred from Sang County, they don't have much food." I'm going to embezzle the rations, but there's still a tough battle to be fought, and if you want to trade large quantities of food, you'll have to wait for my caravan to arrive. But before you do that, do you have to show us your sincerity? ”

"What sincerity do you want?"

"For example, the third prince can be the lord of Da Liao and stop this war."

"I thought you guys could just let me be the master."

"If my Daliang had such ability, I wouldn't come to the door to beg the third prince," Lin Qingwan said: "But my Daliang is willing to help the third prince." ”

Wen Dihan waved his hand and said, "Let's wait for the first batch of grain to be traded." ”

Lin Qingwan didn't think that she would be able to get the result today, so she got up and said with a smile: "Then I will leave first, Your Highness will let you prepare the fur for this transaction." ”

With that, he clapped his hands and had another box of jewels brought in.

Wendihan looked at it and gave a close look.

The man quickly left, and after a short time he came in and said, "General, everything is ready." ”

"Lord Lin, let's take a look, we'll transport the things to the boundary for you."

A guard followed to check the quantity and quality, turned around and nodded to Lin Qingwan, and then everyone said goodbye and left.

Wu Shilang kept holding his heart, and only when he crossed the line safely and stepped into the land of Sang County did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"County Lord, will they agree?"

"It depends on how ambitious Wendihan is."

On the side of the Liao camp, Wen Dihan was holding a string of jewels and was silent, and his henchmen asked anxiously, "General, do you want to promise them?" ”

"Do you want me to say yes?"

The henchmen looked at each other and said: "If it is really natural, the Khan is getting older, and the competition between the eldest prince and the second prince is getting more and more fierce, and they all use you as a gun." If the Khan is gone, you ......"

"If my father is gone, no matter who the two brothers are on the throne, they will not be able to tolerate me." Wendy Han scoffed and took his words.

The struggle for the throne in Daliao has never been less than that in the Central Plains, and even more intense.

The Han people still have some rules for establishing their descendants, but they are all capable people living here.

Whoever has the ability to grab it, and if he grabs it, he will be his own.

Like his father, didn't he step on the blood of his grandfather and uncles to ascend to the throne?

It's not that he doesn't want to rob, but because he doesn't have the support of his mother, the eldest and second's mother's family is the second largest tribe in Daliao, and with their support, it is difficult for him to cross them.

So what he thinks is, if the eldest and second are really unable to tolerate him, then he will take people to Outer Mongolia and build a new tribe there, if the eldest and second are wiped out, he is not afraid of taking people to rebel.

But if there was a better choice, why didn't he choose?

But who knows if this is a discord plan of the girder?

Obviously, some people had the same concerns as him, and one of them hesitated: "If this is all a ploy of the Great Liang, wouldn't we fall into their trap by making a rash move?" ”

Wen Dihan nodded, "If this is Da Liang's discord plan, he turned around and sold me to the eldest and second child, and then borrowed my hand to kill my father, then wouldn't my Da Liao be in a big mess?" At that time, the battle will naturally be self-defeating, and they will also be able to achieve their goal. ”

Didn't Lin Ying use this method back then?

If it weren't for the fact that their father and king fought for the throne and killed each other, it would have been impossible for Da Liang to recover so much lost land from his grandfather.

This is what Lin Qingwan is most worried about, they and Wen Dihan have no credit at all, and it is very difficult to cooperate, but no matter how difficult it is, she has to give it a try, and the situation in Dingzhou cannot be delayed any longer.

General Tang Shen was very happy when he saw that they had brought back several truckloads of furs, "Lord Lin, can you give me this batch of furs?" Now the weather is getting colder and colder, and the soldiers are getting sick with frost. ”

Lin Qingwan nodded again and again: "Of course you can, I still have something to ask General Tang." ”

When General Tang heard that she was willing, he was immediately overjoyed, and said with a smile: "If the county lord has any orders, he will say that the lower officials will do their best." ”

Lin Qingwan said with a smile: "It's not a difficult thing, it's just that my grain is still on the road and hasn't arrived, so I want to borrow a batch of military rations with you tomorrow." Don't worry, when my food arrives, I'll fill the hole. ”

General Tang's eyes widened and asked, "You want to borrow military rations?" What do you borrow for? You people can't eat much. ”

When he heard that he was going to make a deal with Wendihan, he almost didn't jump up, and couldn't help but shout: "Lord Lin, you actually sold them grain, do you want to let them eat enough to beat us?" ”

Lin Qingwan knew that ordinary people couldn't accept this, let alone border soldiers? So she said toughly: "This is the meaning of the princes of the imperial court, do you think that they will not think of what you can think of?" However, we still have to do it, just to gain Wendihan's trust and then make this cooperation possible. ”
