In terms of Xianbei, the people who responded to Han Sui were the largest tribe in Xianbei in Hexi, called the Bald Division.

This baldness part originates from the Tuoba department.

It lives near the Hexi Corridor and the Huangshui Basin in Qinghai.

The leader of the bald hair department came to Liangzhou to see Han Sui in person.

He also wanted to get the salt and cloth in Han Sui's blank check, especially salt, if he could get these things, their lives would be very nourishing in the next few years.

The people from the Western Regions were Harik, the lord of the Cheshi, and Iliar, the lord of Loulan.

They also came for Han Sui's empty promises, and salt and cloth were equally important to them and necessities.

Dahan's salt is the best quality salt they have ever tasted.

Usually, only some merchants were brought to the Western Regions, but the number was limited, this time Han Sui promised to give them a thousand catties of salt, without saying a word, and regardless of the cold weather, he came directly to Yumen Pass to meet and negotiate with Han Sui.

At this time, the northwest is icy and snowy, and heavy snow is falling.

The bald Pi Gu came first, and they trampled on the snow, leaving a deep mark, but as soon as the trail came out, it was soon covered by the wind and snow, and they walked more slowly.

When he got outside, he saw the person sent by Han Sui to answer him.

"Shan Yu, please inside."

The man said, "Our general will burn the stove, warm the wine, and wait for Shan Yu to come." ”

The bald Pi Gu lived in the grassland, and they had long been accustomed to this kind of cold weather, shook off the snowflakes on their bodies, and followed the person who responded to them strode inside.

Not long after he arrived, Harik and Iliar also came, and they were also received by the same people, and the people of the three parties met each other, they did not know each other before today, but it did not prevent them from becoming Han Sui's mercenaries together.

"Three, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Han Sui walked out of the house, not afraid of the cold of the wind and snow outside, and said with a smile: "Welcome to Yumen Pass." ”

Iliar smiled: "It's because we're late, and General Han has been waiting for a long time." ”

"Three, please inside."

Han Sui was very enthusiastic and invited them in.

The four of them sat down next to the stove, and the heat wave baked, feeling extremely comfortable, and the cold outside was also dredged, and the remaining snowflakes on their bodies turned into water traces and stained their clothes.

"General Han asked us to come back, how many troops do you want to borrow? When are you going to do it? ”

Bald Pi Gu asked most directly.

Han Sui said: "I can still lead 20,000 people under my command, I need you to lend me 100,000 soldiers, and I will pay the three of them the same, 1,000 catties of salt, 1,000 stones of grain, and 1,000 horses of cloth, but these are not over." ”

The salt of the Han Dynasty is as valuable as gold in their country and tribe.

Thousands of pounds of salt made their eyes shine.

Han Sui continued: "When I take Liangzhou and Yongzhou, I will fully trade with you and will not charge customs duties. How about selling you goods, such as salt and cloth, to keep the price to a minimum so that you can make a profit? ”

Simply exchanging salt and cloth for troops is not profitable for them.

However, it is the long-term trade that is the best benefit.

Through commercial activities, they can obtain the greatest benefits and get more goods at a relatively low price, which is what they want most.

"We're Loulan, no problem."

Ilyar expressed his attitude directly.

Han Sui's sincerity was placed in front of them.

Although it was a blank check, they didn't know that it was empty, they only knew that there was no shortage of these goods inside the Han Dynasty, and Han Sui could easily cash the check.

Harrick said: "We're drivers, it's no problem. ”

Bald Pi Gu echoed: "My bald hair department is also no problem." ”

The three of them borrowed 100,000 troops, and each side could gather enough more than 30,000 people, and the pressure was not very great.

It's just that the bald man said, "I have one more condition." ”

"Please!"

Han Sui said.

A look of greed flashed in the bald Pigu's eyes: "Defeat Ma Teng, you must let our people plunder the spoils." ”

Hearing this, Han Sui's eyes narrowed.

The greed of their Xianbei people is a bit serious.

Not only do they want to get paid, but they also want to plunder, and it is not uncommon for the people on the steppe to plunder the people of their Central Plains.

"General Han, we need it too."

With the bald man opening his mouth, Ilyar immediately followed, not falling behind.

Harrick didn't say anything, just looked at Han Sui lightly, the meaning was obvious, since everyone can be like this, then we also need it, and it is impossible to take care of one or the other.

"You can only plunder the Ma Teng army, you can't just kill people who have no ability to resist and no weapons, and you can't kill ordinary people."

For the sake of his own future, in order to retaliate against Ma Teng, Han Sui gritted his teeth slightly and agreed, adding: "You can only grab items, not people, if the three of you think it's okay, we can cooperate." ”

"Good!"

The three of them thought about it and agreed.

Han Sui said again: "I'm going to make a move after the ice and snow melt, and quickly attack Ma Teng so that he can't slow down." Please also ask the three of you to go back and gather your forces to see me as soon as possible, Loulan and the Che Master will definitely be able to enter the Yumen Pass, and I will also send someone to pick you in. ”

"Okay!"

The bald Pi Gu has no other opinion.

Iliar and Harik nodded at the same time.

Their cooperation was reached.

Although Han Sui also knew that it might be troublesome to ask them to borrow troops until the end.

But at this point, with Chen Gong's plan, he is confident that he can control it, and when he defeats Ma Teng and takes Liangzhou, the three Hu people will definitely be controlled by themselves.

Han Sui's self-confidence.

In addition, Ma Teng is just too hateful.

He just didn't want to do it, but there was a voice in his heart that kept encouraging him to do it.

Unconsciously, all the following things were carried out in full accordance with Chen Gong's plan.

——

Xu Du.

The snow hasn't melted yet.

Today is the first day of the new year, and there is still a long way to go before the snow melts.

Chen Zhou took the children at home every day, accompanied his wife, and at the same time took a look at all kinds of new information brought by Cao Ang.

"The Taishou of the four counties of Jingnan want to unite?"

Chen Zhou said with a little surprise when he saw the latest information.

The information they got was similar to Zhuge Liang's, that is, Liu Du privately contacted Han Xuan and others, and they would only meet yesterday, and it was impossible to send the news of the meeting back so quickly today.

However, what Liu Du and they thought was a very confident and seamless private alliance plan had actually been exposed in front of Cao Cao and Liu Bei's eyes long ago.

This alliance, in Chen Zhou's opinion, is not very good.

Just know certain clues and easily deduce how they behave.

"It should be true."

Cao Ang said: "The Taishou of the four counties of Jingnan are unwilling to obey Liu Bei, and there is a sense of rebellion. ”

Chen Zhou thought back to the incident in Jingnan and said: "Gongzi arranged for someone to go south to Changsha County to help me find a person named Huang Zhong, the word Hansheng, you tell him that I have a way to treat his son's condition." ”
