Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 177
Gongsun Xu and Guo Jia continued to discuss for a while about Han Sui and Ma Teng. When Gongsun Xu basically finalized the matter of Ma Chao, Gongsun Xu suddenly felt that something was missing. At this time, Guo Jia also felt that Almost ready to say goodbye.

Suddenly, Gongsun Xu added: "We must give Ma Chao a good impression, so you ask Zilong to receive Pang De and Ma Yunlu, especially Ma Yunlu, you must let Zilong meet with him, understand?"

Guo Jia felt a little confused after hearing this: "Why did you send Zilong there? Is there any secret in it? Zilong seems to rarely receive representatives of the princes. Would it be better to let me or Wenhe go?"

"Um, this." Gongsun Xu replied awkwardly: "You just do what I tell you, maybe Zilong's going will have a greater effect, some things are unexplainable, just do what I say now .”

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu smiled mysteriously, as if someone had been tricked by him.Guo Jia also reluctantly took the order, but Guo Jia felt that Gongsun Xu's words should be more reliable, because he had seen Gongsun Xu's smile before, and every time something strange happened, Gongsun Xu's smile He will stick to his own opinion, although others will object, but in the end, the facts will prove that Gongsun Xu is correct.

So far, Guo Jia and others have not been able to explain why. Perhaps, it is really that Gongsun Xu's perspective and depth of viewing things are beyond theirs. There is no way, Guo Jiate can only convince himself this way.

After more than an hour, Huang Xu walked into the big account and reported: "My lord, the representatives of the princes have arrived, and the banquet is about to start, and I am waiting for you now."

Gongsun Xu turned around and said, "Well, I got it. By the way, how did you get along with Sun Ce and Ma Chao? They didn't have any conflicts, did they?"

"No, the three of us have been exchanging martial arts experience together since we got off the ring." Huang Xu laughed and said, "These two have similar tempers and get along very well, but Ma Chao seems to be a bit outspoken. I feel, hehe, he has scolded Han Sui hundreds of times in front of us, maybe this Han Sui has some serious hatred against him."

"Big vengeance, hehe, there really is a big vengeance." Gongsun Xu sneered after hearing this, "The vengeance of killing his mother, and Han Sui's son-in-law almost killed him. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would remember it for the rest of their lives." , this Ma Chao will probably never die with this Han Sui."

"Oh? Unexpectedly, there are so many inside stories, no wonder." Huang Xu sighed after hearing this.

Gongsun Xu shook his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, these things are not the focus of our consideration for the time being, come on, let's go now, we can't let them think that I am putting on airs, otherwise, many business negotiations may not be possible."

"By the way, my lord." Huang Xu suddenly stopped Gongsun Xu and said, "I heard from my father that most of the representatives of the princes wanted to buy war horses from us this time. I am afraid that the number is no less than [-]. Among them are Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, etc. Waiting for the most.

If we take over all these businesses, then are we going to transfer horses from the Eastern Xianbei Racecourse? Those horses are all the painstaking efforts of our army over the years. Does the Lord really plan to use these horses to do business with them?

My lord's plan to breed war horses has been implemented. If [-] war horses are suddenly transferred at this time, I am afraid it will have a great impact. Moreover, the quality of the war horses produced by our horse farm is far superior to that of ordinary grassland war horses. Let these war horses flow into the princes Wouldn't it be very bad for us.

But if we don't mobilize war horses from these places, we won't be able to produce so much for a while. After all, the war is imminent, and most of the war horses in the army have been recruited to the front line. Only tens of thousands of mares and stallions are left in the racecourse. "

Gongsun Xu picked up the saber on the table and hung it on his body, then looked at Huang Xu and said: "Yes, you know how to use your brain. It seems that your father has taught you a lot recently. Hahaha, it's not bad for you to see this." Easy, our army has indeed recruited a lot of horses for this battle.

The racecourse on Xu Rong's side really cannot be moved, and the eastern Xianbei racecourse has temporarily supported many horses, not to mention Youzhou.However, you should look at the problem from multiple angles and divergent thinking.

Don't I know it's a bad thing to sell them the fine war horses we've bred for many years?Besides, in the Central Plains, it would be nice to have prairie war horses. Wouldn’t it be a waste to sell our good war horses to them, and they couldn’t afford the price.

Hehehe, okay, I will tell you because of your good performance today. This time, I just took orders from the princes. As for the war horse, hehehe, it is still in the hands of the Huns. pay them. "

"Uh, that's okay?" Huang Xu replied in amazement: "Then, isn't my lord lying to you?"

"Don't slander me here." Gongsun Xu replied dissatisfied: "This is doing business, they can choose not to cooperate with me, if they choose to cooperate with me, I will give them sweets, but they should take it first." It's just out of sincerity, silly boy, this trick is called borrowing chickens to lay eggs.

Also, the preparations for this Northern Expedition were a bit hasty, and our army's materials were not fully prepared. In order to take down the Hetao within half a year, we must stockpile more materials, and we have to start with the princes.

Do you really think that I will attack the Xiongnu with the power of one state and one state? Hey, I am not a fool. Anyway, all the princes want sweets, so I will drag them all into the water and say that if they are not convinced, they can not cooperate with me. I do not mind. "

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu strode past Huang Xu, leaving Huang Xu with a stunned face in a daze. It's not that he has never seen Gongsun Xu play a scoundrel, but Gongsun Xu actually played like this in front of his own people. Moreover, he was so confident, Huang Xu felt that his level of playing rogue really needed to be improved.

Outside the tent, Dian Wei has been waiting for a long time, now is the time to go to the army to attend the banquet, and it is also the beginning of Gongsun Xu's talk with the representatives of the princes.

After staying for a while, Huang Xu immediately followed Gongsun Xu. Facing Gongsun Xu's rascals, Huang Xu would only feel that he was not good enough. Now he understood that his father had said that if he was a rival with the lord, he might With my current level, I can't go a few rounds under the lord's hand.

In the past, Huang Xu always thought that his father was encouraging him to practice martial arts diligently like the lord, but now, Huang Xu felt that his father was reminding him to use his brain more, and to play tricks when necessary. Really only to be played by others.

Soon, Gongsun Xu was escorted by Dian Wei and his soldiers to the big tent where the banquet was held. There was a bonfire dinner outside the tent, mainly to entertain the soldiers and folk masters who performed outstandingly in this martial arts performance. Representatives of the princes were all in the big tent Waiting for Gongsun Xu's arrival.

After Gongsun Xu came in, everyone stood up and saluted Gongsun Xu. Now, Gongsun Xu's status is not low. Since the princes sent representatives to Youzhou to participate in Liu Bian's enthronement ceremony, it means that they have recognized Liu Bian's orthodox status. .

Gongsun Xu is also a great general personally appointed by Liu Bian, and his power is under one person and above ten thousand people. It is no wonder that everyone respects Gongsun Xu so much.

Gongsun Xu didn't put on airs either. He walked to his desk and said to everyone: "In our army, the hierarchy is strict, but there are not so many red tapes. Since the banquet is held in the army, it should be held in the army. Just act in the same way, and the princes will drink and have fun, so you don't have to be too restrained."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu sat down first, and the rest of the people also sat down and began to enjoy the food.

Today's banquet was actually a prelude to negotiating business with representatives of the princes, but Gongsun Xu didn't intend to speak first, otherwise, it would appear that he was eager to do business with everyone.

Anyway, these people's needs for war horses are certain, and Gongsun Xu is not in a hurry. Before that, Gongsun Xu plans to settle Ma Chao first.

Ma Chao is now sitting with Huang Xu and Sun Ce. These three guys have similar tastes, and they are eating and drinking like crazy. Gongsun Xu's banquet provides rare food. Even after being with Gongsun Xu for so many years, Huang Xu can't eat enough. , not to mention Sun Ce and Ma Chao, two young boys who came to northern Xinjiang for the first time.

On the other side, Zhao Yun is entertaining Pound and Ma Yunlu. Pound is a very interesting person. He understands what Zhao Yun's identity represents. Zhao Yun, who is very authoritative in the military, came to entertain him, which shows Gongsun Xu's sincerity.

However, the loyal Pound may have misunderstood Gongsun Xu's original intention. Gongsun Xu speculated that Ma Yunlu's ability to come to northern Xinjiang should not be like Ma Chao. Most likely, Ma Yunlu also came with a mission.

Perhaps, Pang De and Ma Yunlu were responsible for Ma Teng's affairs. After all, these two people should be the most trustworthy of Ma Teng.However, Pound is a soldier and has strong principles in his work. It must be difficult to find a breakthrough from him.

This Ma Yunlu is different. A girl who has seen little in the world, no matter how capable she is, must be inferior to men in some aspects. For example, now that Zhao Yun is by Ma Yunlu's side, Ma Yunlu is very restrained.

This is also a wonderful move by Gongsun Xu. Historically, Ma Yunlu married Zhao Yun in the end, but Gongsun Xu himself can't tell exactly what happened. Favorable.

The white horse and silver spear Zhao Zilong is indeed very lethal to young girls, especially young girls like Ma Yunlu.Although Zhao Yun is much older than Ma Yunlu, this is not a big gap.

Ma Teng's children were basically taken care of by Gongsun Xu. It seemed that forming an alliance or doing business with Ma Teng was not difficult. Now, what Gongsun Xu had to do was to find a way to discuss with other princes about the purchase of war horses.

However, how exactly does Gongsun Xu want to do business?You know, Bingzhou has spent too much for the Northern Expedition and disaster relief. Now that this is the case, what will Gongsun Xu use to do business with the princes?
