Chapter 59 The spear is about to rust, and it cannot be fired without blood!
Zhao Tong's birth made Zhao Yun depressed for a month, and he didn't understand it either, but he knew that women had to go to confinement after giving birth. He heard too much about this thing in his previous life. So he accompanied Li Shilan for a month and took care of her meticulously.
The training of troops was left to Gao Shun and Dian Wei, and the soldiers understood and envied them.
When Zhao Tong was full moon, Yun Kun brought people to send gifts. The three families are no longer as good as before, but Zhao Yun still "respects" him, which made Yun Kun very satisfied. The current relationship between the two is also very harmonious.
Gifts are very expensive, and the Yun family is not short of money. Zhao Yun sneered in his heart and accepted it with a smile.
In the study of the county magistrate's mansion, Zhao Yun and Yun Kun sat opposite each other and drank tea.
Seeing that his face was a little wrong, Zhao Yun asked, "What's wrong with Brother Yun? Is there anything wrong?"
"Oh!" Yun Kun sighed, "It's still Xianbei... Half a month ago, Tan Shihuai disappeared. The royal court wanted to block the news, but was shaken out by several powerful tribes, and became the new Xianbei leader from the company leader and the company. Although this was Tan Shihuai's son, his ability was far from Tan Shihuai's, and many people did not accept him."
"Just three days ago, Ge Yuan's tribe asked me to take out 30,000 gold grains worth of food and grass, saying that there might be chaos within the Xianbei and be prepared for any trouble. But you also know what happened last year. Now the three families are no longer as good as before. Although their financial resources are still there, most of them are used to manage their relationships. How can I spend so much money to buy food and grass for a while? What's more, although our three families have colluded with the Xianbei, if so much grain and grass are really sent out, they will be a collaboration and investment in the enemy!"
"Brother, I'm worried."
As he said that, Yun Kun drank a sip of tea with a sad face.
Zhao Yun frowned on the surface, but was happy in his heart. Sure enough, maintaining a relationship with Yun Kun was really useful. If Yun Kun hadn't revealed the news to him, he would probably have been a long time before he could know the news of Tan Shihuai's death!
The time has come!
Zhao Yun smiled in his heart and said calmly: "Brother Yun, don't worry, this matter should still be possible."
Yun Kun shook his head: "It's gone. On weekdays, the relationship between our three families and the Xianbei seems to be very good. In fact, those beasts don't treat us as human beings at all! They just use us. Ge Yuan has already said that if I can't get enough food and grass in two months, he will lead his troops to attack Qinghu!"
"ah?!"
Zhao Yun was "shocked" and almost jumped up in fear, and asked quickly: "Didn't he tell the truth? He really wants to attack?"
Yun Kun: "On weekdays, our three families seem to have a good relationship with the Xianbei, but in fact the group of beasts don't treat us as human beings at all. They are just using us. If the Xianbei is in civil strife, it would be strange if Ge Yuan dares to lead his army to fight. He just blackmailed us and then find a place to hide. After the battle, he will go to see who he surrenders to. Otherwise, what can his three thousand cavalry do? The grassland is so big, and the slightly larger tribe has tens of thousands of troops, and the royal court has an army of fifty thousand! Do he dare to participate?"
Zhao Yun was secretly shocked, and it seemed that he had thought too simply.
The Ge Yuan tribe alone is already a powerful enemy that he cannot fight hard at present. However, his great enemy did not even have the courage to participate in the civil strife in the Xianbei region. I have to say that this is quite ironic.
He did not doubt the authenticity of Yun Kun's words, and there was no need for Yun Kun to lie to him.
What's more, if the Xianbei was not strong, how could Emperor Huan of Han be so afraid? If Tan Shihuai hadn't begun to recuperate and prepare to accumulate strength over the years, the Han border would have started war long ago.
Zhao Yun said: "The harvest last year was pretty good. As long as you have money, it doesn't matter if you buy some food and grass for them. But Brother Yun, do you think if we give it out so easily, will they be insatiable?"
Yun Kun nodded: "It must be! In their eyes, we Han people are just a group of lambs to be slaughtered, with no food, no clothes, and uselessness. It doesn't matter, just come to the big man to rob it! How could the robbers be satisfied? They must be insatiable."
Zhao Yun said: "Since that's the case, we must not give it to them easily. In this way, we will give it to him first and then complain to him. If we really can't force it, we will give it a little more. In short, we must pretend to be tight and must not give it enough at once. Otherwise, our lives will definitely not be easy!"
"Brother, I've already thought about your solution. I'm going to do this." Yun Kun said, "But, I'm out of money! Now our three families only have more than 23,000 yuan in their hands, and they will send some to their families in a while. For the time being, I can hold on, but what should I do in the future? To be honest, brother, I'll visit you this time, just to borrow money from you."
"I know that your father-in-law is rich. Look, can you borrow five thousand gold to help your brother overcome this level?"
Zhao Yun immediately said, "Brother Yun is so serious, why are you borrowing it? Since I came to Qinghu, Brother Yun has taken good care of me. Now Brother Yun is in trouble, so he should naturally help me. However, most of my father-in-law's property is in Jizhou, and now he doesn't have that much money, so he can only take out two thousand gold at most."
Yun Kun frowned, Zhao Yun patted his chest and said, "But don't worry, I will convince my father-in-law to find a way to make up the remaining three thousand gold for you. In any case, I will definitely save you, Brother Yun, don't worry!"
"With this sentence from my brother, I feel much more at ease. Don't worry, as long as I pass this level and wait until my three families recover, I will definitely compensate you twice in the future!"
Zhao Yun said "ah" and patted his shoulder and said, "Brother, don't talk about these things."
At that moment, in order to show his determination, Zhao Yun immediately arranged someone to bring the money from his family, with a total of more than 2,100 gold. He ordered two thousand gold in front of Yun Kun and handed it away. Yun Kun didn't have the same face as asking for the remaining more than 100 gold.
After seeing him off, Zhao Yun stood at the gate of the county magistrate's mansion and kept watching his carriage leave. Although his face was calm, his heart was filled with laughter.
He turned back to the mansion and waved his hand: "Come here, summon the county magistrate Xun You, the county magistrate Gao Shun, and the county magistrate guard Dian Wei to come and see me."
Li Xu held the child and shouted at Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun walked over to take the child, hugged him in his arms and shook him.
Li Xu asked, "Son-in-law, did you give him that two thousand gold so easily?"
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, I'll give him a lot now, and he will pay it back twice as much. The son-in-law has been waiting for this day for a long time. The spear is almost rusting, and he cannot open his edge until blood!"
Li Xu nodded: "You have done everything you promised at the beginning. Don't worry, go to the battle. The good news of your father waiting for you to make achievements will be sent back so that Tong'er can know that his father is not that humble and cowardly!"
