Shao Yu did not know the situation of the eight counties in northern Ningxia. He knew that the Cai family was in charge of the overall situation. He thought Cai GUI was just a nobody in Fengguo. Unexpectedly, it was Cai's family. It must be that Tang Yin sent him to come with Shaojun to show his intention.
He looked at Li Ting and said with a smile, "I don't know it's Mr. Cai. I'm disrespectful."
Cai GUI said with a smile, "Mr. Shao, you are welcome." After a pause, he said in a positive tone: "it is the only way out for master Shao to abandon the secret and turn to the public. If you continue to stand on Shao Fang's side, sooner or later he will be killed."
Shao Yu pretended to be surprised and asked, "how do you say this, Mr. Cai?"
Cai GUI said: "Shao Fang wantonly killed the Shao family in order to protect his orthodox status. Does Shao think Shao Fang can accommodate you?"
Li Ting said, "but not long ago, the king sent a letter to Xishan County, praising your loyalty to the state of Mo and the king."
Cai GUI laughed and said, "can't Mr. Li Ting see that it's Shao Fang's pacification policy? Now Shao Fang wants to fight against Yuguo and fight against Fengfeng at the same time. What he fears most is the internal chaos. Now he pacifies Mr. Shao, hoping that his backyard will not catch fire. Once he reaches out empty handed, he is afraid that master Shao will follow the footsteps of many victims of the same clan! "
"Yes, yes, yes!" Shao Jun hastily agreed: "what Mr. Cai said is reasonable. You should think twice and do it!"
Shao Yu's mind which is Shao Jun can compare, what is Shao Fang's mind, how can he not think of it?
Betraying Shao Fang and turning against Fengguo is indeed a way out for him. Otherwise, he would not welcome Shao Jun so solemnly. The key is that it is of great importance. The choice he is going to make now is related to the life and death of the whole Xishan county and his family. He has to consider it carefully. He will not show his attitude until the last step. In his opinion, the best way now is for both sides not to offend and leave two ways for himself. No matter who wins or loses, he will not be doomed.
Shao Yu's ideas are strongly supported by Liu Ting, his confidant. Liu Ting thinks that he can't openly break with Shao Fang now, nor blindly fight with Fengguo.
He looked puzzled and shook his head at Shao Jun with a wry smile and said, "uncle, it's not that my nephew doesn't care about my family, but my nephew also has his own difficulties. I have to think about it carefully."
He did not refuse his own surrender, Shao Jun has been very satisfied, where dare he too hasty, said: "yes, yes, yes! After all, it is a matter of great importance to the future of your nephew, and it should be carefully considered. "
Cai GUI sighs. Does Shao Jun know which side he is on? Now he also has a general understanding of Shao Yu's mind. He wants to be the leader of the wall. He wants to be on both sides and not offend them. He leaves himself two ways to retreat. He is also the most difficult person to deal with. Fortunately, he has foreseen such a situation for a long time and has made corresponding preparations.
He smile, don't have deep meaning to say: "the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind is not only! Mr. Shao is only afraid of Shao Fangnian and his friendship. Shao Fang will not show mercy to him! "
Shao Yu and Liu Ting both frowned and asked, "what do you say, Mr. Cai?"
Cai GUI said slowly: "Han Zhong and Yuan Tian did not run eastward or southward, but ran westward and fled to Xishan county. It's a coincidence or a premeditation. No one can tell clearly." he said so far, deliberately leaving room for the reverie of Shao Yu and Liu Ting.
Shao Yu and Liu Ting were stunned. Then they looked up and laughed and said, "the terrain of Xishan county is very dangerous. It is reasonable for Han and Yuan to take refuge in Xishan county."
"Is it? Let's wait and see. " Cai GUI said with a light smile.
Shao Jun and Cai GUI visited Xishan county and were warmly received by Shao Yu. The latter regarded them as guests of honor, and sent special personnel to protect and serve them, so that they could live in Fengyang safely and steadily.
However, during their stay in Fengyang, although Shao Yu was entertained with good wine and dishes every day, he did not mention the business and never made clear his attitude. Obviously, he was delaying, hoping to wait until the day when the situation became clear. If Feng Guo is sure to win, he will take advantage of Shao Jun and Cai GUI's surrender and turn against Feng. If Mo wins, he will not suffer any loss. Then he will kill Shao Jun and Cai GUI, and take their heads to Shao Fang for credit. No matter who wins or loses, he has a way to go.
For Shao Yu's mind, Cai GUI knows it like the palm of his hand. Shao Yu wants to delay time, but it is in his heart.
Zhenjiang on the other side is not as peaceful as Fengyang. The rumors of Xishan county's defection to Fengguo spread rapidly, and the rumors spread everywhere, causing people to panic. At this time, the spies of the eye of heaven and the earth net secretly find Zhang Rong.
On that day, Zhang Ronggang returned home after the separation of the dynasty. Before he could sit in the heat, the servants of the mansion came in and reported that there were two middle-aged people calling themselves businessmen outside.
As a great Fu, he was highly respected by the king. Every day, many guests visited Zhang Rong's house, but they knew and didn't know each other. This is not a strange thing. Today, however, Zhang Rong was in a bad mood. The mo'an united army was in a strong position in the state of Yu. However, the advance of the Feng army in the north of the state of Mo was also unstoppable. The war in the North was tight. Shao Fang was angry and the court was in a state of tension. Zhang Rong, as an important official, was also under great pressure.After hearing the name of the visitor, Zhang Rong waved his hand and said, "it's gone."
The messenger handed a letter to Zhang Rong and said in a low voice, "my Lord, the person who asked to see him said that if you see this letter, you will naturally meet him."
"Oh?" Zhang Rong took the letter paper and unfolded it. There were only a few numbers on it: the villain would like to give you a thousand gold, just to see Tai Fu.
Zhang Rong's biggest weakness in his life was greedy for money. When he saw someone willing to give him money, he was moved. He stood up, walked backward and said without expression: "take him to the study."
The messenger agreed and trotted out.
Zhang Rong changed into casual clothes and sat in the study for a short time. The servant brought in two middle-aged people in their forties.
When they saw Zhang Rong, they hurried forward and bowed respectfully and said, "villain Liang Ren (Liu Yang), I've met Mr. Zhang."
"Yes Zhang Rongan sat on the collapse and did not move. He just glanced at them casually. Then he lowered his head and continued to look at the book in his hand. At the same time, he asked lightly: "what do you two want to see me for?"
The two middle-aged people who claimed to be Liang Ren and Liu Yang looked at each other. The former said, "Mr. Zhang, the villain has the audacity to visit. He has something to ask for."
Zhang Rong is not surprised, can find his own nine out of ten is something to ask for. He asked casually, "I hear you are both businessmen?"
"Yes, Lord Zhang."
"What kind of business?"
"Horses." Liang Ren whispered back.
It's a horse dealer! Zhang Rong put down his book and looked at them again. At that time, those who could be horse merchants were powerful merchants who made huge profits. Naturally, money was not a problem. Zhang Rong, who had always been greedy for money, was acutely aware of his opportunity to get money.
"Tell me, what are you asking for?"
"This" Liang Ren and Liu Yang seemed hesitant, hesitating, for a long time did not speak, eyes wandering, from time to time to sweep to the left and right.
The crafty and crafty Zhang Rong understood what they meant. He waved to the servants around him and sent them out. Then he said with a smile, "what's so hard to say, now you can say it."
"But" Liang Ren and Liu Yang turned their eyes to the two bodyguards behind Zhang Rong.
Looking back, Zhang Rong said calmly, "these two are our guests and our confidants. There's no need to worry about it, but it's OK to say so."
After hearing this, Liang Ren finally said, "Mr. Zhang, in fact, brother Liu and I do horse business with Fengguo." With that, he looked at Zhang Rong without blinking, waiting for his reaction.
Zhang Rong's face changed at first, but soon returned to normal again. He sneered and said, "you two are so brave that you dare to sell horses to enemy countries. You should be punished for their crimes." That's what he said, but there was no angry expression on Zhang Rong's face, and the guards behind him did not mean to arrest Liang and Liu.
Liang Ren and Liu Yang looked at each other. The latter took out a roll of paper from his arms, held it in both hands, and walked towards Zhang Rong. At this time, a bodyguard behind Zhang Rong stepped forward and blocked him. Then he took the paper roll in his hand, looked at it for a moment, and found no abnormality. Then he turned around and handed it to Zhang Rong respectfully.
Zhang Rong took it, untied the string on it, unfolded the paper roll, looked down and saw, well, it was a stack of silver bills rolled together. He glanced at the first one. It was a silver note of 1000 taels. He took another one out of it, which is also a thousand taels. There is no need to look at it carefully. It is estimated that there are more than 20 Silver notes, that is, more than 20000 taels of silver.
What a big sum of money! I took out more than 20000 Liang silver as soon as I made a move. These two people are really not simple! Zhang Rong quietly rolled up the silver ticket, gently put it on the table, patted it with his hand, and asked, "what does this mean?"
"250000 taels of silver is just a gift for the first meeting between villains and adults Zhang. As long as Mr. Zhang is willing to help the villains, there will be other gifts for the villains." Liang Ren said with a smile.
Zhang Rong's eyes turned and his mind turned sharply. He was silent for a long time. He looked back at the two bodyguards behind him and asked if they would be smart. At this time, two people, Liang renrong and Zhang lingju, shook their heads for each other.
Seeing this, Zhang Rong put down his heart, raised his hand slightly, and swung outward. Two bodyguards will understand, both out of the study. When they left, there were only Zhang Rong, Liang Ren and Liu Yang in the study. Zhang Rong said with a smile, "now, what can you say
