: Nothing is wrong (Page 1/1)

Han Sui held a banquet to clean up Jiang Gan. He died of his eldest son and was in a bad mood. Han Sui only drank two drinks before leaving the table, accompanied by Cheng Gongying.

Jiang Gan had met Cheng Gongying before and knew that he was Han Sui's confidant, and his influence on Han Sui even exceeded that of Han Yin and Yan Xing. He came to Chang'an to meet Han Sui, and communicating with Cheng Gongying was also one of the procedures. To resolve this trouble, it is not only necessary to dispel Han Sui's grudges, but also to create a benign atmosphere around Han Sui, so that people cannot have the opportunity to slander in front of Han Sui. Cheng Gongying is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Brother Yuanjie, are you familiar with Tuo Yi?" Jiang Gan raised his wine glass and signaled to Cheng Gongying.

"I heard of it. Has he gone to the battle this time?"

"He died in Longyuan." Jiang Gan took a sip of wine. "Before his death, he entrusted General Sun to bury him in his hometown of Runan. General Sun agreed, but he didn't have time to ask him where his ancestors lived. The Tu family moved to Liangzhou for many years. Runan knew that there were not many Tu family members. If Brother Yuanjie could help inquire and let Tuo Yi get buried as soon as possible, it would be the best."

Cheng Gongying was shocked. "I dare to ask for details."

Jiang Gan told the situation at that time. Cheng Gongying heard that Sun Ce personally led his troops to break through the formation and felt the tension at that time. When he understood the battle of Guandu, he felt a little more touched. Sun Ce was not as strong as Yuan Shao, so he had to do his best. Even so, he arranged Han Yin to the end and used the victory and defeat. He did not entrust Han Yin with important tasks like using Yan Xing and Ma Chao. As Sun Ce's righteous cavalry, Ma Chao had several attacks. During the battle of Guandu, he attacked Sun Ce and severely injured Yuan Shao. The danger was self-evident. Yan Xing led a single unit and wandered on the battlefield. He might meet Hu Qi several times his at any time, and it was even more dangerous. Even so, Yan Xing still made many military achievements.

Compared with them, Han Yin is really useless.

"The warriors of Xiliang have helped General Sun in several battles. General Sun is very grateful. He wanted to form a century-long alliance with the two generals Han and Ma, but he didn't expect such an accident to happen. I am really sorry and ashamed General Han. At the beginning, he hoped that the major general would return to Xiliang and be able to pacify Liangzhou alongside Ma Mengqi, pacify Liangzhou and reopen the Silk Road. Now..." Jiang Gan sighed, an indescribable regret. "Ma Mengqi can only be the only one who takes office."

Cheng Gongying was surprised. "Ma Mengqi is going to return to Liangzhou?"

"Yes, if I guessed well, he might be on the way. After leaving General Han, I will go to see General Ma and discuss related matters with him, and prepare to exchange war horses with him with Nanyang silk. This matter was originally something that he had to discuss with General Han, but now the major general died unfortunately, General Sun is embarrassed to speak."

Cheng Gongying was frightened when he heard this. The silk that passed through Liangzhou was very large and profitable. If Ma Teng took it alone, it would not be good news for Han Sui. He looked at Jiang Gan for a moment and couldn't help asking: "The number of silk in Nanyang is so large, can the Ma family eat it?"

Jiang Gan hesitated for a moment. "Brother Yuanjie, just tell you something, just listen to it yourself, and you must not leak it."

Seeing that Jiang Gan was serious, Cheng Gongying did not dare to be careless, so he quickly agreed and promised that he would not be spread. Jiang Gan said: "General Sun has built a large ship that can pass through the sea. In the future, most of the commerce and trade in the three states of Jingyu and Yang will go from the sea and no longer go to Liangzhou. The reason for cooperating with the Ma family is to fight horses."

Cheng Gongying stared at Jiang Gan for a long time without saying anything. This is indeed a big secret. As far as he knows, the court has been seeking to stabilize Liangzhou. On the one hand, it is to stabilize the rear and ensure the safety of Guanzhong; on the other hand, it is to reopen the trade route and use Jingyu's goods to make profits, especially silk. Nanyang improved the loom. The production of silk increased rapidly, the cost dropped rapidly, and the profits of shipping silk sales became more abundant. If Sun Ce changed most of his business from the sea, the court's plan would be dashed. It would take a lot of money and grain to pacify Liangzhou. If he spent money but did not get the expected profit, the already weak vitality of the court would probably be cut off, which was naturally a great benefit for Sun Ce.

This was a pit Sun Ce dug for the court. Jiang Gan told him this secret, so naturally Sun Ce wanted to express his sincerity to Han Sui. Sun Ce was willing to form an alliance with Han Sui, and Ma Teng was to buy war horses. With Han Sui checked and balanced Ma Teng, Ma Teng could not raise prices at will. In this case, making a grudge with Han Sui, making Ma Teng's family dominant will have any harm to Sun Ce without any benefit.

Cheng Gongying is a smart man. He understood what Jiang Gan meant. Saying a thousand and saying ten thousand is false, and the interests are real. Even if Han Sui didn't believe Jiang Gan's explanation, he should believe that Sun Ce was considering the interests. No matter from any perspective, there was no need for Sun Ce to be unfavorable to Han Yin, which was indeed an accident.

"Ma Teng was originally from Guanzhong, and his foundation in Liangzhou is limited, so he may not be able to meet General Sun's requirements." Cheng Gongying reminded intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's true. However, Ma Chao is brave and good at fighting, has excellent talent, and has the support of General Sun. Even if he is a little longer, he can pacify Liangzhou in about ten years. Jiangdong lacks horses, which is ultimately a weakness. General Han is a famous scholar in Liangzhou, and his influence is beyond the comparison of General Ma. He was the most suitable candidate, but such a thing happened..." Jiang Gan sighed. "General Han is in charge of Guanzhong, guarding the emperor, and Yan Xing is in Luoyang. General Han's other sons are young and it is difficult for him to take the big responsibility for the time being. General Sun has no other choice, so he has to let the Ma family blackmail."

"Yan Xing is in charge of Luoyang?"

"That's right, Yan Xing made contributions one after another. General Sun trusted him very much and had decided to let him take charge of the cavalry and follow Lu Su to take charge of Luoyang."

Cheng Gongying didn't say anything else. Sun Ce asked Lu Su and Yan Xing to take charge of Luoyang, which contained a very strong symbolic meaning. Luoyang was the old capital of the Han Dynasty. Sun Ce blatantly sent people to Luoyang, which means that he would no longer submit to the will of the court. At the least, he would be a powerful minister, and at the worst, he would raise a banner to replace the Han Dynasty, showing people all over the world his ambition to establish a new dynasty.

Cavalry is indispensable to conquer the world, but this is Sun Ce's weakness, so he knew that he would be blackmailed by Ma Teng, but he could only cooperate with Ma Teng. It is conceivable that with this opportunity, the rise of the Ma family was unstoppable, and Ma Yuan's story will be repeated again.

This is a very important news, and it is of great importance. Cheng Gongying dared not make any decisions. He stood up and left the table under the pretext of changing clothes, came to the backyard, and reported to Han Sui. After hearing this, Han Sui pondered for a while. "Yuan Jie, even if Sun Ce defeated Yuan Shao, his reputation was not as good as Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was still frustrated, let alone him, was it too rash to enter Luoyang at this time?"

"General, Sun Ce's move seems radical, but in fact he has room for room for anything. He expressed his anger to the court and did not really break with the court. As a young man who was just young, he was already stable enough. Yuan Shao was frustrated. Even if he wanted to keep a low profile, could the court not deal with him? Since he could not show weakness, it might be a strategy."

Han Sui nodded and patted several handrails hard. "Yuanjie, you go and talk to Jiang Gan. I can't die my eldest son, but let Ma Teng get the benefits of the Silk Road alone. No matter what, I should get a share of it."
