Chapter 119 Rumors are like swords, killing is invisible
"Hahahahahaha!"
Wei Jian suddenly changed his serious expression and looked up to the sky laughing.
"Is it funny?"
Liu Zhang didn't smile at all, and his face became even more gloomy, as if he was on the verge of breaking out.
Wei Jian did not care about Liu Zhang's emotions at all and continued to laugh up to the sky, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
After a long time, the laughter finally stopped.
"Have you laughed enough? It's time to hit the road."
After hearing this, Wei Jin was not as panicked as Liu Zhang imagined, but still looked calm.
"General Hou, you don't have to scare me. Since I dare to come with something, don't I have a back-up plan?"
"A wise man kills without a sharp sword! You must know that rumors are like swords and never see blood when killing!"
Liu Zhang tensed up and looked at Wei Qian with narrowed eyes.
"What do you mean?"
In just an instant, Liu Zhang changed from the threater to the threatened, and Wei Jian took the initiative.
Zhao Yun also heard the threat from Wei Ji, so he directly pulled out his sword and put it against Wei Ji's neck.
"Lord, don't believe his lies, I will kill him with one strike of my sword!"
Liu Zhang stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Yun. He found that Wei Ji still looked confident.
Wei Jian gently lifted Zhao Yun's sword away from his neck, and kept looking at Liu Zhang with a smile.
"General Hou, if I die, the news that you massacred my Wei family in order to obtain the art of war will spread throughout the Han Dynasty!"
"General Hou has always been known as a virtuous man. He is both civil and military, and has made many military exploits! His future is limitless! If the world talks about this matter, I'm afraid it will be more than the gain is worth the loss!"
Liu Zhang had to re-evaluate the young man in front of him, the leader of the Wei family and the leader of the Wei family!
Ever since he entered the gate of Liu Mansion, Liu Zhang had already been trapped, and the trap was tight.
Wei Jian used a temptation that Liu Zhang could not refuse. He really plotted against Liu Zhang!
Rumor is a sharp sword that kills people. This is absolutely true!
If Wei Jian dies today, even if he dies unexpectedly, Liu Zhang will not be able to escape his involvement!
As long as the news spreads in the world that Liu Zhang slaughtered the Wei family for the sake of war tactics, Liu Zhang's reputation will be completely ruined!
Cao Cao massacred the city in the name of revenge for his father, and was reviled by the world! Not to mention Liu Zhang massacred the Wei family for the formation.
Reputation was extremely important in this era, and even the descendants of aristocratic families needed to be filial and honest if they wanted to enter an official career! This is why Cai Yong insisted on marrying Cai Yan into the Wei family against his daughter's wishes.
"Bo Zhu, you are so good! You are so good! Liu Zhang admires you!"
Liu Zhang raised his thumb to Wei Qian with admiration on his face.
This time Liu Zhang lost. Even though there was no loss in losing, and even though the harvest was very rich, he was completely defeated by Wei Jian.
"The general is so complimentary. The guard covets mediocre people and should not be praised like this!"
Wei Jian put away his proud look and saluted Liu Zhang extremely respectfully.
Liu Zhang smiled bitterly and nodded. He really didn't expect that a little-known Wei Qi would have such scheming intentions!
This late Han Dynasty cannot be underestimated! If you are not careful, you will be doomed!
"Bo Xi, even if I don't hold you accountable, then He Jin will not let you Wei family go."
"Because of you, he lost thousands of gold!"
Wei Jian's face was also slightly solemn, and he was not thinking about anything at all. After a long time, he let out a breath.
"Where to go, I can only ask the general."
When Liu Zhang heard this, he immediately became angry.
Well, you Wei Qian, do you think you can defeat me with this matter?
The biggest flaw in the rumor is the lives of your Wei family. If He Jin kills you, what does it have to do with me!
"I advise you not to push yourself too far, or you may burn yourself with fire!"
Wei Jian knew that Liu Zhang was really angry, so he bowed and apologized to Liu Zhang with a slight apology.
"General Hou, please calm down, I haven't finished speaking yet."
Liu Zhang ignored him and just stared at Wei Qian with anger in his eyes.
"General Hou, our Wei family can be based in Hedong for a hundred years, so we naturally have our own way of survival!"
"And our Wei family's way of survival is exactly what the general needs right now!"
"Therefore, I want to make a deal with General Hou, and use the items in this transaction to exchange for General Hou's protection."
"What do you think would make me hesitate to offend the general?"
Liu Zhang's face was calm and seemingly untroubled, but in fact his brain was already running rapidly.
Wei Ju is too confident, what is his confidence? Why on earth does he think he is so interested!
He seemed to be sure that he would definitely agree to him! What exactly is it?
Could it be something comparable to the cavalry formation?
In just a few breaths, Liu Zhang had thought about it countless times. He really couldn't understand that a person who was unknown in history could actually contain so much energy!
It has brought myself surprises, or shocks, again and again!
Wei Qian spread his arms outward to form an embrace and uttered two words.
"War horse!"
"Do you know the meaning of these two words? Horses and war horses are completely different!"
Liu Zhang couldn't believe it. He even felt that Wei Qi couldn't tell the difference between war horses and ordinary horses.
War horses, what a scarce material this is! It’s a treasure that even the imperial court can’t get out now!
Real war horses all come from the northern frontier, and almost all are associated with foreign races.
Why didn’t the people of the Han Dynasty raise their own horses?
The answer is yes, and many people do so. Even the imperial court encourages horse breeding.
However, the horses raised by oneself can only be used for civilian purposes, disseminating information, etc., and cannot bear combat tasks at all.
Even in the horse gardens set up by the imperial court at the border, the proportion of war horses produced was not very high.
Liu Zhang had to suspect that Wei Qi was deceiving him in order to get his own protection!
"I'm pretty sure it's a war horse!"
Wei Jian confidently confirmed Liu Zhang's doubts, and this confidence was definitely not fake.
"General Hou, my Wei family has lived in the east of Hetao for a long time, and we have a very close relationship with Luan Tiyufuluo Chanyu of the Southern Huns in the Hetao area!"
Two words suddenly appeared in Liu Zhang's mind: smuggling!
No wonder! No wonder the Wei family is so valued by He Jin. It turns out that the Wei family has such a profitable business!
"I'm afraid the Wei family didn't just buy war horses from Humphrey!"
Wei Jian smiled and did not answer, but Liu Zhang got the answer from his smile.
The Wei family must have sold various materials from the Central Plains to Yuvluo at a high price, and then purchased cattle, sheep, horses, etc. from Yuvluo and sold them to the Central Plains at a high price!
This is simply a middleman! And they make the difference at every level!
Liu Zhang suddenly understood why Wei Zhongdao was so arrogant!
Wei Zhongdao is like a top rich second generation with countless assets in his family! He also has strong connections and has won over the most powerful general!
"Bochu, your brother casually said in the court that he was worth thousands of gold. I thought he was talking nonsense, but I didn't expect... I really didn't expect it!"
When Wei Jian saw Liu Zhang talking about his younger brother, he was also very helpless.
"General, my brother is as stupid as a pig. It is not a pity to die! I hate that he spoke arrogantly in front of His Majesty and all the ministers!"
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Liu Zhang's mind, and he suddenly woke up!
I misunderstood. This Wei covet was not asking him to protect the Wei family in front of He Jin. He was simply protecting the Wei family under the covetousness of the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty!
This person is so scary! It’s not that he can calculate, but that he can guide you to understand.
He doesn't explain it clearly himself, but he can let you slowly understand it! The most terrifying thing is that he can always find a reason why you can't refuse!
"Tell me, what kind of temptation is it that would make me offend the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty!"
