Chapter 219 Amen under Wu reprimanded the Marquis of Wu, Sun Quan, you are worse than a dog!
One is Han Xuan and the other is Jiaozhou.
It triggered Guan Lin's thinking for a while.
Let’s talk about Han Xuan first.
Even after just a short chat, Guan Lin already felt that this was a talent.
Compared with the fictional villain image in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Undoubtedly, the story in "Han Xuan's Tomb" is much more realistic - "Xuan and the three counties all surrendered, the troops were not killed, and the people were safe. It can be said that he knows the principles of rebellion and obedience, and has the virtue of safety."
A person who "knows the principles of adversity" and "has the virtue of safety" has raised this character's evaluation much higher.
Combined with the Jiaozhou issue he just mentioned.
The metaphor was proposed to allow Guan Lin to use the "Shibian Family" in Jiaozhou to check and balance the "Sun Family of Eastern Wu".
Specifically, by secretly supporting the "Shibian Family", they could not only check and balance Soochow, but also profit from it, killing two birds with one stone.
Guan Lin didn't know that Han Xuan had such insight because he "understood the principles of adversity and obedience"?
He has lived in Changsha for a long time and has a better understanding of the current situation here.
Or both.
Overall... Guan Lin felt that Han Xuan's proposal was very reliable and constructive.
What surprised Guan Lin the most was that Han Xuan did not hide anything about accepting "Jiaozhou benefits" and made it clear.
This is equivalent to taking the initiative to hand over his handle to Guan Lin...
It is no different that this method... allowed Han Xuan to gain Guan Lin's "trust" to the greatest extent.
Such a character - not simple.
Subconsciously, Guan Lin has decided to reuse the old governor of Changsha County - Comrade Han Xuan!
Let’s talk about Jiaozhou…
In fact, Guan Lin didn't know about the recent war situation in Jiaozhou... He couldn't reach out to Jiaozhou yet.
Han Xuan's words came at the right time, and they also reminded Guan Lin that he must pay more attention to Soochow and Jiaozhou.
Just imagine if Lu Xun was allowed to capture Jiaozhou.
That is equivalent to Jiaozhou becoming a part of Soochow.
Soochow, like Shu Han, also became two mines.
To be precise, considering that Jingzhou and Xiangfan have not yet been conquered, Shu Han only has one and a half mines.
After the Jiaozhou and Jiaozhi areas were occupied by Lu Xun, the most intuitive military consequence was that in addition to waterways, Soochow also had an absolute threat to Changsha County on land.
This will put Jingzhou in a huge passive position.
It’s enough to worry about backstabbing on the Soochow waterway, but adding on the land route...it’s hard to guard against it!
Based on this…
After learning about the situation in Jiaozhou, even if Shi Bian didn't take the initiative to come to Guan Lin, Guan Lin would try his best to contact them.
Suddenly, the situation in Jingnan became complicated.
Maybe in the future...for a long time.
Guan Lin...and even his father Guan Yu, as well as Jingzhou, especially the Changsha area's strategy, must use "handling" to control "Wu".
Secretly supporting Jiaozhou to check and balance Soochow, so as to ensure that the southern front battlefield always takes the initiative.
From this point of view, Han Xuan and Gong Zhi, as the people who can contact Jiaozhou, have become unusually important.
call--
Thinking of this, Guan Lin breathed lightly, and then asked: "Mr. Han is a cheerful person, and I, Guan Lin, am also a cheerful person. I must meet this Shibian family, but... I hope that Mr. Han will inform the Jiaozhou Shibian family." What do you want? What help can I, Guan Lin, provide them?"
"Ordnance!" Han Xuan said without hesitation: "Ordnance similar to the repeating crossbow, the sidecar, the wooden ox and the horse...the ordnance can resist the Lu family's army and repel the Soochow soldiers."
Speaking of this, Han Xuan paused and said with emotion: "The ancestors of this Shibian were from Wenyang in the Lu State. They moved to Jiaozhou to avoid the turmoil in the late Xinmang years. It took seven generations to reach Shi Xie's generation!"
"Now Shibian is nearly eighty years old. He has been appointed as the governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou and the prefect of Jiaozhi for more than thirty years. Under the governance of seven generations of the Shi family, the Jiaozhou area has been cultivated and there has been no war for thirty years. It can be said that he is very wealthy... In addition to the seven counties of Jiaozhou, he also occupies more than half of the territory of Lingnan... He is very prestigious and famous in the local area... It can be said that as long as Jiaozhou's military equipment can keep up, they have a chance to compete with the Soochow soldiers. Capital!"
Guan Lin had heard about what Han Xuan introduced.
There is a record in "Three Kingdoms" that Shi Xie has a generous and thoughtful character, and is a humble corporal.
Hundreds of scholars from the Central Plains went to rely on them to seek refuge.
Among them, the more famous ones include Xue Cong, Cheng Bing, Liu Ba, Xu Jing, Yuan Hui and so on.
Yuan Hui also mentioned in his letter to Shangshu Ling Xun Yu: "The Lord of Jiaozhi Shifu is both knowledgeable and well-versed in government. He was in great chaos and managed to preserve the territory of a county. There has been no war in the territory for more than 20 years. The people did not lose their property, and the merchants and travelers all benefited from it.”
Just from the fact that there has been no war in the territory for more than 20 years, we can also infer how high the prestige of the Shibian movement is. How rich is Jiaozhou? How underground is the ordnance reserve?
Jiaozhou is like a paradise in this troubled world.
What's more, the influence of this scholar-turned-old comrade went abroad, and the country of Yue regarded him as an old god, and posthumously awarded him "King Lingwu for his kindness and praise"!
Of course, none of this matters.
The important thing is...Shi Bian has money but lacks weapons, Guan Lin has weapons and money, so both sides will benefit from cooperation!
"Why did Jiaozhou Shibian buy ordnance? He only chose me, Guan Lin? Who told him? I, Guan Lin, have ordnance?" Guan Lin spread his hands and asked tentatively.
"Haha." Han Xuan said with a smile: "Fourth Young Master, our minds are like mirrors. In today's Jingzhou, Huang Laoxie is the only one who can make those repeating crossbows, side carriages, wooden oxen and horses. Similarly, if there is a person in Jingzhou today, If you can contact Huang Laoxie, he must be Mr. Guan Lin..."
Speaking of this, Han Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a little more meaning in his eyes. "Han should not say some things clearly!"
——"This Han Xuan is very transparent!"
Guan Lin secretly thought...
But he said, "But... the Jiaozhou scholar family purchased a batch of ordnance from Huang Laoxie, but ended up breaking up in the Guanshan cave in Changsha County. It was not a happy incident!"
Guan Lin asked next.
Han Xuan gently stroked his beard, "How about pleasure? What about unpleasantness? The top priority is that what we and Fourth Young Master Guan want are gold, silver and food. What Na Shibian wants is ordnance and a way to resist the Lu family's army... What was once unpleasant is what it once was. If the four young masters didn’t mention it, how could the Shibian family mention it? Everyone’s heart is like a mirror, and they understand each other tacitly..."
call…
Guan Lin breathed out softly.
——"There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, right?"
He looked at Han Xuan faintly, "Listening to Mr. Han's words is like drinking fine wine, intoxicating."
While talking, Guan Lin also offered Han Xuan a bottle of wine... chrysanthemum wine!
Han Xuan gently raised the wine bottle, not forgetting to invite Guan Lin first, but said: "Then when we meet..."
"I will set off back to Jiangling the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow Han Gong... can make arrangements..." Guan Lin said with a smile: "It's just that Han Gong should give a warning to Jiaozhou first. Although Huang Laoxie's ordnance is good, selling The price is quite high!”
Han Xuan did not reply, but smiled.
Guan Lin added another question with great interest, "Don't you ask, Mr. Han? Why is this seller so expensive?"
"Master Guan said it's expensive, so of course it makes sense." Han Xuan waved his hand, "Why do I need to ask more questions?"
"Haha..." Guan Lin laughed, "I like a sensible person like Mr. Han. However, since Mr. Han secured this business for me, we are going to deceive them together... ah no, we are going to do it together. If you don’t ask this question about Nashu’s family cooperation, I have to tell you.”
While speaking, Guan Lin looked around Han Xuan and Gong Zhi.
"The reason why ordnance is expensive is because I added the two of you's share!"
At this point, Guan Lin stood up, stretched his arms to shoulder level, and then joined them together, with his left hand in front and his right hand behind. This is a man's hand-over salute.
If it is a woman, the same hand-over-hand salute should be done with the right hand in front and the left hand behind. This is called men on the left and women on the right.
What Guan Lin did to Han Xuan was a deep bow, which is an action that can only be done when paying respects to elders or people worthy of respect.
After doing this, Guan Lin said: "If the arms deal in Jiaozhou can be concluded, we will have to rely on Mr. Han for business in Changsha in the future!"
How could Han Xuan dare to accept the great gift from a junior to an elder like Guan Lin? He stood up quickly, and Gong Zhi also stood up...
The two of them also returned a big gift to Guan Lin.
Han Xuandao: "Young Master Guan's words are embarrassing to me. I am helping the Fourth Young Master not out of any high righteousness. On the contrary, it is for my own wealth! To be honest with you, Fourth Young Master Guan, I ask myself that these eyes are very accurate in seeing people. I am also familiar with the changes in the current situation, and I pride myself on being able to tell who has a bright future."
"I have taken a fancy to the future of the Fourth Young Master Guan. The Fourth Young Master Guan has a good background, is smart and smart, and has sharp methods. He can serve as the governor of Jiangxia at a young age, while I, brothers Han Xuan and Gong Zhi, are just generals. ?How can one stand in the world if there is no reliance? I am extremely honored to be able to join the relationship with Fourth Young Master Guan, but it is just for the purpose of gaining reliance, profit, and standing in the world! I hope that Fourth Young Master Guan will not do anything. To despise it.”
Guan Lin replied solemnly. "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it! Han Gong Miao Zan..."
For a while, the two of them seemed to be exchanging business blows.
The atmosphere of the conversation here became more and more harmonious.
It was already night when Han Xuan left.
He and Gong Zhi boarded the carriage...
