Xiliang.
When Xinpi and Guo Yuan arrived in Xiliang in the Zhen family's caravan, they did not find any trouble between the Zhen family and Chen Gong, but soon Xinpi realized that something was wrong.
As if they knew Zhen Yao would come, the generals of Xiliang prepared a large number of copper coins and quickly bought the large quantities of grain and grass brought by Zhen Yao.
"Something is wrong." Xin Pi avoided Zhen Yao and summoned Guo Yuan for discussion.
"Sir, there seems to be no Chu bandit force here, what's wrong?" Guo Yuan asked puzzled.
"Guanzhong has been in chaos for a long time. As far as I know, both the warlords and the people are bartering, and they don't have many coins in their hands. But now, there are suddenly such a large amount of coins to buy grain and grass, and the Zhen family,
The goods brought this time are almost all grain and grass." Xinpi frowned a little as he considered what he saw and heard after entering Xiliang.
The situation in Xiliang was more serious than he imagined. It was not that the people's livelihood here was in decline, but the attitude of the major warlords, as if they had already known that they would come.
What agreement did Chen Gong and Zhen Yao reach?
Although Xin Pi was just guessing, he was basically certain in his heart that Chen Gong and Zhen Yao were using this method to transport grain and grass to Xiliang and use grain from Jizhou to feed the Xiliang armies. However, the Xiliang warlord inherited
Is it Chen Gong’s love!?
After thinking about this, Xin Pi secretly scolded Zhen Yao.
"The general will capture Zhen Yao right now!" Guo Yuan raised his thick eyebrows and said in a deep voice.
"Don't act rashly!" Xin Pi shook his head: "Taking Zhen Yao down at this time will not help the situation, and it will easily put us in danger."
"Is it possible to go back like this?" Guo Yuan couldn't swallow this breath.
Although this food and grass was not produced by Yuan Shao, but it came from Jizhou, was it used to support his enemies?
Xinpi lingered for a moment, thinking about the current situation in Guanzhong.
It seems that Chen Gong has convinced these Guanzhong forces to work for him, but it is only to lure them with benefits. If not, these Guanzhong generals should have become Chu Nan's men, instead of acting independently like now.
Come to think of it, in such a short period of time, even if Chen Gong has the power to conquer the sky, it is unlikely that he can completely subdue these rebellious warlords.
If it were so easy, Guanzhong wouldn't be in the mess it is now.
Since it is tempting with benefits, it is simple.
Chen Gong is in a good position, but Yuan Shao is not in a good position? Chen Gong uses it to buy the food of these Guanzhong warlords, which is equivalent to taking their money.
"Of course not." After thinking clearly about the key points, Xin Pi calmed down, looked at Guo Yuan and said: "Those who agree with each other with benefits will definitely betray them with benefits. Since Chen Gong can use benefits to lure the generals in Guanzhong to use them, we and others
Why can't the generals in Guanzhong be tempted to defect by offering benefits?"
What he is thinking about now is who will make the breakthrough.
"Sir, looking at the situation, the generals in Guanzhong are already preparing to send troops." Guo Yuan said worriedly: "The last general went to inquire yesterday. I don't know anything else, but recently Zhang Heng has been preparing to send troops."
A gloom flashed in Xin Pi's eyes. He arrived too late. After all, no one expected that Chen Gong could initially integrate the armies of Wancheng and Xiliang and reach an agreement in such a short period of time.
The most uncomfortable thing is that they use the food and grass from their own home. Now Xinbi feels like he wants to tear Zhen Yao apart. It is really unbelievable that they really dare to go to this merchant's house!
"Just ask Zhang Heng to do the next one first!" Xin Pi didn't have much time to think. If he didn't take action, Chen Gong was afraid that he would send troops.
He did what he said. At that moment, Xinpi asked Guo Yuan to recruit Zhen Yao and asked him to help arrange a meeting with Zhang Heng.
Although I wish I could immediately kill Zhen Yao, this scourge, I really can't kill him now. After all, the generals in Guanzhong now only recognize Zhen Yao because of his reputation and background. Xin Pi probably won't be very useful here.
I can't say, I can only use Yiyong Xinpi.
Seeing that Zhang Heng was taking some risks, once Zhang Heng was determined to help Chu Nan, they would be in the tiger's mouth, but now there was not much time for them to slowly analyze and make decisions.
Zhen Yao did not refuse Xin Pi's request. In fact, his current mentality is still leaning towards Yuan Shao, and his cooperation with Chen Gong is purely for profit.
As for the possible consequences of his move, it is impossible to say that Zhen Yao is completely unaware, but this involves family interests. Although the Zhen family is leaning towards Yuan Shao, they do not want to completely offend Chu Nan, and also want to gain benefits from Chu Nan.
Li, so he just pretends that he doesn't know about these things and can just do his business as a businessman with peace of mind.
At that moment, Xinpi contacted Zhang Heng and made an appointment to discuss the next sale of goods.
Zhang Heng naturally would not refuse this, so he chose a place to meet Zhen Yao that day.
"This gentleman is..." Zhang Heng is a standard Xiliang native. He is born with a broad body and a round waist, and possesses the fierceness of a northwester. His long military career has always given him an evil aura, which makes him instantly angry at the sight of him.
A very fierce feeling.
"I would like to introduce it to the general. This is Xinpi, a famous scholar from Yingchuan. Now Mr. Yuan is sitting down to greet Xinpi. Has the general ever heard of him?" Zhen Yao looked at Zhang Heng and said with a smile.
Zhang Heng was a little confused when he heard this. He looked at Zhen Yao and then at Xin Pi. His mind couldn't turn around for a moment. Isn't this Zhen Yao from Chen Palace? Why are you bringing Xin Pi's famous men to his place now?
?What are you trying to do?
Xin Pi also glanced at Zhen Yao. Judging from the fact that Zhen Yao didn't mind letting him meet Zhang Heng, Zhen Yao might have been deceived by Chen Gong.
waste!
I sighed secretly in my heart, and at the same time I once again felt contempt for these merchants. Apart from a few small profits, I really didn't know anything, and I didn't even know that I was being used as a weapon.
"It turns out to be Mr. Zuo Zhi, whose name I have admired for a long time!" Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his fists and saluted Xin Pi, and said with a smile.
It doesn't matter who he fights, whether it's Chen Gong or Xin Pi, they can fight however they want. It has nothing to do with him, and maybe it will bring benefits to him.
"I have admired the name of General for a long time." Xin Pi returned the salute to Zhang Heng and said with a smile.
After the two chatted for a while, Xinpi looked at Zhang Heng and said: "My lord admires the general very much. He sent me here this time to make friends with the general. I just saw the army here preparing for war. I heard that
To attack Bingzhou, but you don’t know why?”
Zhang Heng heard this, his eyes flashed, he looked at Zhen Yao again, and suddenly smiled and said: "These people are so interesting, I don't even know who to turn to now, general?"
"Why did the general say this?" Xin Pi looked at Zhang Heng and asked.
"The great scholar Chen Gongtai invited us to beg Gong Yuan in the name of the imperial court, and promised food and fodder, but the food and fodder were sent by the people of Gong Yuan. Is it strange, sir?" Zhang Heng looked at Zhen Yao with a half-smile.
When Zhen Yao heard this, his face instantly turned pale. When he saw Guo Yuan looking at him with an unkind look, he quickly bowed to him: "Sir, I just came here to do some business and don't know the inside story. If I really have something to do with the Chu thieves,
There are so many entanglements, so how can I bring my husband to see General Zhang? Isn’t this just asking for death?”
Xin Pi snorted coldly, looked at Zhang Heng and said with a smile: "General, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here. Our army is about to fight the Chu bandits. If the generals in Guanzhong can help me, my lord will definitely have a heir."
Zhang Heng shook his head: "Being a man requires honesty and integrity. No matter what, Mr. Gongtai brought this food and grass to us. Moreover, we are buying food for free, not for free. This coin was also given by the imperial court. We, etc.
Although I am not as noble as Mr., I cannot do such a treacherous thing."
No matter who you are or who you work for, if you want us to help you, you have to pay more, and you still need money that you can see.
Integrity?
Xin Pi sneered in his heart, if the generals in Guanzhong were honest, Guanzhong would not be like this.
But he understood what Zhang Heng meant.
But at the moment, he couldn't take out anything immediately. After thinking about it, he looked at Zhen Yao, and then looked at Zhang Hengdao: "In this way, I will make the final decision on the coins sold this time and the goods that have not yet been sold.
How about giving it to the general?"
Zhen Yao did not refute, and sighed in his heart. If he wanted to continue to make a living under Yuan Shao's tent, he had to make up for his mistakes, and these things could not be omitted.
"Mr. Zuo Zhi, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's just that, let alone the five warlords in Guanzhong, it's too late even if I agree to your request. All the soldiers and horses are ready. Now the food and grass have arrived. It won't be long."
If you know how to send troops, you can't stop him even if you want to." Zhang Heng looked at Xin Pi with a smile.
When Xin Pi heard this, his eyes flashed, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face: "Then... I wonder if the general is willing to be the lord of Xiliang?"
"What do you mean by this, sir?" Zhang Hengxiao asked.
Xinpi smiled and said: "General, don't you think that there are only six groups of people in Xiliang now, which is too much? If the general cooperates with us and kills the remaining groups, Xiliang will
The general is the only one left with his troops, what does the general think of this plan?"
"Ma Teng and Han Sui have 30,000 elite troops. Together with the other three groups, the total number is at least 50,000 troops." Zhang Heng looked puzzled: "Sir, can you eat it?"
"I don't need to worry about this matter. As long as the general is willing, we will cooperate inside and outside and we will be able to defeat it." Xinpi had no choice. Now Chen Gong was ready to take action. He didn't have much time to gradually disintegrate the Xiliang army.
We can only use this strategy to defeat the opponent all the way and push the Xiliang army back to Xiliang, and then fully deal with the troops gathered by Chen Gong in Guanzhong.
"This..." Zhang Heng looked confused: "Sir, you don't know something. Although we have been fighting for years, this is justice. Cheng Yi, Yang Qiu and I are sworn friends. I'm afraid..."
"After the matter is completed, I can make the decision. Not only will I send the general 200,000 stones of grain and grass as military supplies, but I will also give him the title of General of Zhenxi. If the general so wishes, I can also grant him the title of General." Xin Pi said, taking out a copy from his arms.
The edict that had been written long ago was handed to Zhang Hengdao: "This is the lord's promise, and the general's seal is also here. As long as the general is willing, it is now the general's property."
"It doesn't matter, although we are brothers, we can't say it for the sake of great righteousness. In the end, the general can only sacrifice small righteousness for the sake of great righteousness!" Zhang Heng took the general's seal with a heavy face...
