Chapter 343: Guo Jia's plan
Naturally, Ke Bineng has another purpose in his heart, and the same is true in Dong Zhuo's heart, the grassland is so big, people who have never been to the grassland can never imagine it, you know, the grassland at this time is not as separated by countries and regions as in later generations, and the land is so big that it will not be worse than the entire Han Dynasty, not to mention tens of thousands of people, even hundreds of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people who want to plow the entire grassland over and over again I don't know how much time it takes, and now the war in the Central Plains has intensified, and the signs of princes competing for hegemony have become more and more serious, even if there are enough people, Dong Zhuo didn't have enough time to spend on this, because at the beginning, Dong Zhuo limited the scope of the attack to the western Xianbei.
Of course, if he can wipe out the Xianbei in the west at the same time, he can also bring the Xianbei in the central part to consume some of it, Dong Zhuo is naturally willing in his heart, for a while, the two people with their own thoughts reached a "deal" between the two so easily, as for the Xianbei people who were killed on the road that Kebineng said before, he didn't know where to throw them as early as when he mentioned joining forces with Dong Zhuo.
The "hahaha......" agreement has been completed, and the two of them suddenly looked at each other and laughed.
"The remnants of the Tuoba tribe have been eliminated, since Shan Yu has intentions, now he can go back with the prime minister, he was in a hurry to chase before, and the army under the command of the prime minister was left in Pingcheng to wait, with you and me joining forces, only Tuoba and Murong tribes will definitely be no problem." As soon as the laughter was over, Dong Zhuo issued an invitation to Kebineng,
"Dong Xiangguo invited, it would be hypocritical if Kebi Neng refused, but today Kebi Neng brought too few people when he came, Dong Xiangguo and wait a while, and after Kebi can let people go back to dispatch troops and horses, he will rush to Pingcheng with Dong Xiangguo." The tone was humble, Kebi could not hesitate at Dong Zhuo's invitation or anything, and a very relieved attitude towards Dong Zhuo made Dong Zhuo feel relieved when he saw it, and immediately nodded in response,
Because there was still a distance, Dong Zhuo couldn't hear what Kebineng was ordering, and when Kebineng turned back, nearly a thousand people roared away when he brought over more than 5,000 soldiers, and the rest of the soldiers followed Kebineng slowly behind him with a relaxed expression.
"I'm tired of Dong Xiangguo waiting, everything is fine here, and he can leave at any time." As soon as he rushed back to Dong Zhuo, Kebineng bowed down to Dong Zhuo and said, between his words, he made a gesture similar to that of his subordinates, but he was also humble and simple, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.
Dong Zhuo laughed when he heard this, and regardless of the fact that the two of them were on the war horse, he reached out and grabbed Kebineng's arm and walked with his arm and said: "This appearance looks at Shan Yu is also a cool person, you and I are now considered to be familiar at first sight, this Dong Xiangguo and Dong Xiangguo are really outside, in this way, I will be a few years older than you, if you want, you and I will already be brothers." ”
"Kobi can see my brother." Kebineng showed great joy on his face, and immediately bowed down to Dong Zhuo again, and then continued: "Brother is the prime minister of a country, this time it is the younger brother who has climbed high, brother rest assured, this time Tuoba, Murong and other tribes dare to offend the elder brother, and the younger brother is willing to take revenge for the elder brother." ”
"What is high and not high, although I am a great Han Xiangguo, but the second brother, you are also the head of the family, you and I are equal, and the second brother can afford it." Stretched out his hand and patted Kebineng's arm a few times, Dong Zhuo immediately raised his identity a few layers, which can be regarded as an affirmation of Kebineng's previous almost hesitation to take people back with him.
On the way back, because of the addition of Kebineng and his party, Dong Zhuo's speed of their return suddenly slowed down, and under Dong Zhuo's hints intentionally or unintentionally, more than a thousand personal guards soon mingled with the Xianbei people brought by Kebineng, laughing, drinking, and wrestling...... As long as it is a trick that can increase the relationship between them, it is used by the guards, but there are not many of these Xianbei people who know Chinese, and less than half of them look
Fortunately, wine has no borders, even if it is a language barrier, there is no big obstacle for a group of people to get along, but in this way, the original journey of just over a day was actually spent more than four days by them, when Dong Zhuo and his party rushed back to Pingcheng, Pingcheng had already been taken by Liyi for a long time, not only that, but even Guo Jia, who set off a little late, had already rushed to Pingcheng with a large army,
Let people place the soldiers brought by Kebineng, and Dong Zhuo personally accompanied Kebineng to settle down, then took Xu Chu to see Guo Jia, in the study, after telling Guo Jia in detail about what happened and what he thought in his heart, Dong Zhuo then slowly closed his eyes and began to recuperate, during this time, although the army did not have to hurry, but it was not easier to deal with Kebineng than to hurry, at this time, when he saw Guo Jia, Dong Zhuo's heart seemed to have a reliance, and the whole spirit was relaxed,
"Lord, this Kebi can really be worthy of being able to rise on the grassland, so able to forbear, just this kung fu, there are not many people in the Central Plains who can do it, if you give him time, maybe one day he can unify the grassland, but I don't know if his ability can be worthy of his forbearance kung fu." I don't know how long it was, just when Dong Zhuo even felt that he had been napping for a while, Guo Jia suddenly sighed,
"Oh, did Bonghyo think of the reason why Kebi could do this." His eyelids moved, and Dong Zhuo didn't open them in the end, but his head was already sober.
"Not bad." Ying Sheng nodded, and Guo Jia immediately found that Dong Zhuo couldn't see his movements at all, so he had to explain aloud: "I thought about it, as for whether it was what Ke Bineng thought in his heart, Jia didn't know very well." ”
"The battle of Yanmen, whether it is Tuoba or Murong, the two tribes and the small tribes attached to their tribe are all broken, although the Murong tribe is better, but its Shan Yu was killed on the spot, the Murong tribe without a leader is just a toothless tiger, Xianbei is aggressive, especially in the choice of Shan Yu, it is produced through competition, as soon as Murong dies, he is afraid that the tribe will be turned upside down for a position of Shan Yu, how can he have the energy to fight against the lord."
"As for the Tuoba tribe, not to mention, even if the people who can fight are not dead, they are definitely almost dead, it can be said that if there is still a slight threat to the lord on the western Xianbei grassland, there is only the most powerful step root in the western Xianbei left, but this person has a lot of intentions for the big Han, and may not be an obstacle to the lord, so that the huge western Xianbei grassland has become a place where the lord can gallop at will."
"It's just that no matter what, the lord is not a person of the grassland after all, no matter how long the lord will stay here, one day the lord will leave the grassland and return to the Central Plains, at that time, the huge grassland occupied by the lord is a big piece of fat, not to mention that the forces under the lord's command are too far away from this grassland, and the battle line is too big, the greater the pressure on the lord. It seems that the ambition in this Kebineng's heart is really not small. After saying so much in one breath, as soon as the words stopped, Guo Jia couldn't help but gasp for breath.
"Hahaha, if that's the case, I'm afraid that this time Kebi can really miscalculate, such a good natural pasture, if I throw it away like this, wouldn't it be thunder and thunder." His eyes opened suddenly, and there was a stunned look in Dong Zhuo's eyes, but it was more of the joy of the results analyzed by Guo Jia, in this way, wouldn't it be equivalent to letting Kebi work in vain but ultimately gain nothing, as soon as he thought of this, Dong Zhuo couldn't help but laugh out loud,
"My lord is wrong." Dong Zhuo laughed, but Guo Jia didn't have the slightest smile on his face, there was a chill in his eyes on his indifferent face, and he said unceremoniously to Dong Zhuo: "No matter what, Kebineng's income will exceed his pay, the lord don't forget the reopening of trade that the lord promised Kebineng before, this alone will be enough to make up for his losses even if all the soldiers sent by Kebineng are killed." ”
"Hmm." The laughter stopped abruptly, Dong Zhuo's expression was stunned for a long time, although he knew that Guo Jia would not exaggerate nonsense, Dong Zhuo didn't understand what the connection was, and after a pause, Dong Zhuo immediately asked: "What does Fengxiao's words mean?" ”
"The resumption of trade means a steady stream of wealth for the lord, but once the trade routes are opened, there will inevitably be countless followers, and the merchants will be profitable, and they will not care what they sell, grain, salt, weapons, armor...... All kinds of materials will soon flow to Kebineng, and once these materials are sufficient, for Kebineng's forces, it will inevitably usher in a fairly rapid and high-speed development, so that some manpower losses are not simply recoverable. ”
Dong Zhuo suddenly realized when he heard this, it was true that as he thought before, he just thought that trade was dominated by him, and it was not up to him to decide what could be sold and what could not be sold, but he forgot about the countless merchants in the world, he could control and supervise the big merchants, but he could not supervise all the small merchants who were countless, as Guo Jia said, businessmen are profitable, so they don't care what they sell, as long as there is enough profit, everything can be traded for them,
"Fengxiao can have a way to solve it."
smiled nonchalantly, Guo Jia was already confident about this, at this time, seeing Dong Zhuo asking, he immediately replied: "This matter is very simple to solve, since Kebi can want to pick up the cheap, the lord will not give him a chance, and tomorrow the lord can set up a banquet for him to catch the wind, and then let him send troops to capture the Hetao and other places occupied by the Huns, the land of Qianghu is sandwiched between Yongzhou and the grassland, once this place is in the hands of the lord, the forces under the lord's command can be connected, so that Kebineng can let him develop if he wants to develop, How could the mere Xianbei lord be afraid of him. ”
