After hearing the translator's change of words, Moi looked at Li Xun with a look of surprise. This man was really direct, which was rare.

"Director Li, from the way you speak, it can be seen that you are a very straightforward person. This is good. It will save us both from suspicion of each other."

The translator conveyed Moi's words to Li Xun in Chinese.

After hearing this, Li Xun laughed and said: "Everyone is a sensible person, so let's speak plainly. It's troublesome to go around and around. It's better to be straightforward."

Hammer Ozzie nodded: "What Governor Li said is true, so I will make it clear. More than ten days ago, I intended to lead troops to Chengguo to quell the chaos. However, for some reasons, it has been delayed until now, and it has been delayed.

Move troops."

"I know, this reason... refers to me."

Li Xun smiled and said: "Your Excellency Governor, actually you don't have to worry. Even if you have no troops to defend Xizhou, I will not lead troops to attack. I think you know something about the situation in our country. At this time

, the imperial court will not allow me to take any external action. If things get too big and the imperial court blames me, I, Li Xun, will not be able to bear it."

Mo Yi said with a smile: "Captain Li has made it so clear, what do we have to worry about? In this case, we don't have to pay any price, isn't it true that Governor Li has nothing to do?"

Li Xun glanced at him, and then said to Hammer Ozzie: "Your Majesty the Governor, who is this?"

Hammer Ozzie introduced with a smile: "His name is Moi, he is my staff, he can make any decision on my behalf."

Li Xun nodded. It turned out to be a person like Fan Zhongyun. This was not surprising, but there would always be one or two intelligent experts around high-ranking people who would advise their superiors.

Li Xun glanced at the two of them and saw that their eyes were fixed on him, obviously wanting to see how he would answer.

"I have no idea about Xizhou. This is just my personal wish. It does not mean that the people under me think the same way. You should also know something about the situation over there. There is a severe drought in the Central Plains and the government's financial difficulties. I have 20,000 people under my command.

I haven't received military pay for more than half a year. Hungry people are often crazy. At some point, I can't stop something from happening."

Hammer Erqi said in a deep voice: "Are you threatening me?"

Li Xun shook his head: "It's not a threat, I'm just telling the truth."

Mo Yi said: "Captain Li, if something like this really happens, the friendly relationship just established between Dashi and Dajin will probably be destroyed immediately. Can you afford this price?"

Li Xun sneered and said: "I am not actually occupying Xizhou. The Western Region is rich in food. You have a lot of food in your hands. I will grab some things and leave. I'm afraid such a trivial matter will not affect the friendly relations between the two countries, right?"

"

After saying that, Li Xun waved his hand: "Afterwards, at worst, I will be pushed out to take the blame. It will not be a death penalty. Removal? Demotion? I can still bear these costs. At least, those people under me can have a full meal.

, this transaction will not be a loss no matter how you calculate it.”

After hearing Li Xun's words, the expressions of Hammer Ozzie and Moi suddenly changed.

Li Xun continued: "Your Majesty the Governor, what I say is not alarmist. I am indeed in a difficult situation. If you could help me, many things would not have to happen."

Most of what Li Xun said was true, and he was not trying to scare Hammer Eqi. Before coming, Shanqiu, Yuanhe and other generals had suggested many times that Li Xun should not go to Xizhou. Once Hammer Ezi came,

Qi led his troops to leave and immediately sent troops to attack and seize supplies. As long as the situation was controlled within a certain scope and degree, the matter would not become a big deal. As long as it did not cause a big deal, how much price would everyone have to pay?

Hammer Erqi was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Since Governor Li has explained what he said, I will also express my position. I can provide you with 300,000 days of food free of charge."

Li Xun's brows jumped slightly. Three hundred thousand dan of grain was not a small amount. Hammer Ezi gave it as he said. It was for free. The Western Region was rich in grain. It was true.

Hammerez offered 300,000 days of food in exchange for Li Xun's stability. This price was actually very high, but Li Xun shook his head and said quietly: "I want more than just food."

Hammer Ozzie frowned, and there was a hint of anger in his heart. This man was a little greedy.

"Captain Li, three hundred thousand dan of food is my limit. If you don't agree, the worst I can do is stand still and you and I will spend it like this."

Li Xun chuckled and said, "This won't be of any benefit to you or me."

Hammer Ozzie sneered: "It depends on your attitude."

Hammer Erzi could push Li Xun out as an excuse to stand still, but this would definitely cause the emperor's displeasure, and the cost would be equally high. Hammer Erzi did not want to do this unless it was a last resort.

Mo Yi whispered from the side: "Things will eventually be resolved. If there is a stalemate, it will not be good for both of us. Governor Li, do you think this is the truth?"

Li Xun nodded: "You will be wrong about me. I am already satisfied with three hundred thousand days of food, which can solve my urgent needs. What I just said, I want is not just food, but...

.In addition, can we conduct some other transactions?"

When Hammer Ozzie and Moi heard this, they were both stunned. They didn't understand what Li Xun meant. What kind of deal can we have? Could you please send troops to help quell the chaos? Even if Li Xun wanted to,

Hammer Ozzie probably wouldn't dare to let him come either.

Hammer Ozzie said: "Captain Li, what do you mean by saying that?"

Li Xun chuckled and said, "I have a batch of weapons in my hands. If you want them, I can sell them to you."

Hammer Ozzie frowned and said: "In terms of weapons, I have plenty here. Why is this transaction you mentioned necessary?"

Li Xun waved his hand: "The weapons I am talking about are not melee weapons, but light armor and long bows. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Is what you said true?"

Hammer Ozzie lost his voice.

In terms of weapons, Dashi and Dajin each have their own merits. I can’t say who is better than the other. Dashi is superior to Jin in terms of heavy armor, war horses, and melee long and short weapons, but in terms of light armor and long-range weapons, longbows are superior.

It is greatly backward. Although the two countries are now friendly relations, the relationship is currently good, and business is fully liberalized, but strategic materials are still extremely restricted.

Mo Yi was also quite shocked at this time and said: "Director Li, please don't make fun of us."

Li Xun nodded and said seriously: "What I said is true. As long as you can offer a price that satisfies me, there will never be any problems with the weapons."
