It's already late.

When night falls over Jixian, the entire county town is brightly lit and looks particularly prosperous.

With the construction of Yanjing City, Ji County became particularly important. It was the southern gateway to Yanjing in the future, and it was also the main point connecting Zhuo County Dai County and Yuyang. As a result, Ji County gradually evolved into a hub, gathering in Youzhou to travel to the merchants, and seeing even more prosperity after nightfall.

Liu Chuang showed surprise and looked at Su Wei and said, "You mean, the Su family has something to do with the Black Mountain bandits?"

You know, when Liu Chuang passed by Jizhou, he joined forces with Zhao Yun to destroy the bandits of Mount Rishan. In fact, Wang Dang was also a group of Black Mountain bandits, and he was once the little coach under Zhang Yan's tent. But when Liu Chuang destroyed the bandits, Su Wei not only did not stop him, but instead helped him.

So when Su Wei told Liu Chuang that the Su family had always been in contact with the Black Mountain bandits, Liu Chuang was really shocked.

Su Wei nodded solemnly, "After the failure of the Yellow Turban thief, Yu Du Zhang Yan and others gathered to be bandits. Later, Yu Du took advantage of Yuan Shao's troops to fight against Tian Kai in Qingzhou and led his troops to attack Wei County, and was destroyed by Yuan Shao. Later, Lu Wenhou attacked under Yuan Shao's order and attacked the Black Mountain bandits again. At that time, Yang Feng and others surrendered one after another, but Zhang Yan was unwilling to surrender, so he led his troops to hide in the valleys of Changshan, Zhao County, Zhongshan, Shangdang and Hanoi. After years of rest and recuperation, the number of people reached one million.

However, these black mountain bandits did not completely obey Zhang Yan's orders.

Zhang Yan is quite rules and is never allowed to attack the people around him. Moreover, his military discipline is strict and he has a high prestige among the bandits in the Black Mountains.

Wang Dang and others, nominally, were Zhang Yan's troops, but in fact they had already become independent. They were just rioting everywhere under the banner of Black Mountain bandits... Otherwise, when the emperor destroyed Wang Dang, Zhang Yan should have sent troops to avenge him, but he has not done anything yet.

The black mountain bandits that truly belong to Zhang Yan's jurisdiction were mainly concentrated in Hanoi, Zhongshan and Shangdang areas. The black mountain bandits in Changshan and Zhaojun were more just under the banner of Zhang Yan. Our Su family and Zhang Yan have always had intersections. Most of the wealth that Zhang Yan had plundered was sold to the north of the Su family through our Su family, and then exchanged cattle, sheep, military, and horses from the north of the Su family. They were then sold to Zhang Yan and others for treatment.

This is also the main reason why the Su caravan can be unobstructed in Hanoi and Jizhou. The Black Mountain bandits will never hijack our goods..."

Liu Chuang showed a sudden look and nodded repeatedly.

He didn't expect that the Su family still had such a relationship.

But it seems normal to think about it. The Su family can be a powerful man in Zhongshan for a hundred years. If there are no means, how can they trade in the world?

According to Su Wei's idea, when Liu Chuang heard such news, he would be extremely happy and treat him as a guest of honor. In this way, he would be able to gain the upper hand and take the initiative at that time. He would definitely get more benefits for the family.

But Su Wei did not expect that Liu Chuang and Zhuge Liang looked at each other and suddenly smiled!

In fact, Sima Yi had already found out about the relationship between the Su family and the Black Mountain bandits long ago through Huangge.

"Da Li, you and I are friends in distress."

Zhuge Liang said, "I remember that the emperor escaped from Xu Du, thanks to your sword to help, we were spared and arrived in western Liaoning smoothly. The emperor kept this friendship in mind. Liang never forgot about it. However, I think it would be better to forget about the Black Mountain bandits."

"Young Master Zhuge, what does this mean?"

It seemed a little different from the version he had imagined. Su Wei was stunned and looked stunned.

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Chuang, but saw Liu Chuang lowering his head and fiddling with a knife in his hand, as if he didn't care.

"Da Li, if you talk about personal friendship, no matter what request you make, the emperor can agree.

For example, you can participate in the construction of Yanjing, for example, you can join the business group for Ding Ling and Fu Yu Kingdom, for example, you can go to the Three Hans... This is your personal relationship. I believe that the emperor will not only not stop it, but will try his best to fulfill it. But if you make a deal with your Su family... Haha, I'm afraid no one will agree. As for the reason, Liang thought that you would not need to say anything, Dali, you must know it yourself."

Zhuge Liang was left to explain his words: Your old Su family is not worthy of trust!

Su Wei's face suddenly turned red and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Liu Chuang stood up and said, "Da Li, let me say that about this. I will go to Zhuo County tomorrow. Zhuojing is about to be born, and I really can't escape. As for commercial matters, you can go to Zifang to discuss it. I believe Zifang will not refuse, and it will definitely help you.

It's getting late, I'll see you off!"

Su Wei heard this and complained secretly.

Just say that you can apply for it, where do you come from so many twists and turns?

At the beginning, he suggested that Su Ping and Su Shuang not do these tricks, but the businessman atmosphere in Su Ping and Su Shuang made them think that they could gain greater benefits. Now, they won’t talk to you at all because they don’t trust the Su family in their hearts.

Su Wei sighed in his heart and hurriedly said, "Uncle Emperor, stay."

"Dali, is there anything else?"

"I……"

After a while, Su Wei smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Emperor, I came here for one purpose. The Su family is willing to serve the emperor and beg him to take him in."

Liu Chuang, laughed!

"Da Li, it's not that I don't want you to work, but that I am honest and trusting that you, the Su family.

Before, I had a contract with your Su family, but until now, your Su family has not been able to complete it... I remember that your Su family helped me back then. So since I conquered Liaodong, I have opened the Liaodong trade route for your Su family and brought millions of wealth to your Su family.

But what does your Su family give me?

Those 20,000 to 30,000 old, weak, sick and disabled? Dali, don’t joke. Now I live in Youzhou, Hu Shi, Ji, and Lao Su family come over to say that I want to work. What do you want me to trust you? Or, how can I forget the past things?"

"this……"

Zhuge Liang said on the side: "Da Li, don't talk to the emperor about the black bandits.

That's right, I, Youzhou, is indeed short of people, but I believe that within three years, Youzhou will have a surge in the population of one million.

Our Youzhou has vast land, abundant cattle and sheep, and powerful force... Could it be that the people cannot be safe and make the people all yearn for?

The Black Mountain bandits, the emperor's uncle, only believe that the emperor's uncle's ability is not difficult to defeat the Black Mountain bandits.

Dali, even if you, the Su family, wouldn’t be able to let Heishan Zhang Yan join my uncle now. Since that’s the case, what’s the use of saying this?"

Yes, when I am strong, why worry about the bandits not returning?

Zhuge Liang's words left Su Wei speechless.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Emperor, my Su family is willing to help the emperor and seize Zhongshan."

"oh?"

Su Wei took a deep breath, "My Su family has been going to Changshan Pass for many years and has a close relationship with the defenders of Changshan Pass.

If the emperor's uncle wants to plan Zhongshan, the Su family is willing to be a front guard to seize Changshan Pass and cut off the Jiao Ting's way back. At the same time, we can join forces with the Zhang family to attack Zhangnan, Wangdu and seize Puyin Xing, and then all the thirteen counties in Zhongshan can return to the emperor's uncle as a gift for my Su family to serve as a gift for the emperor's uncle. "

When Liu Chuang heard this, his eyes narrowed into a slit.

He glanced at Zhuge Liang and suddenly said, "Kong Ming, I will leave this matter to you to take responsibility.

If you seize Zhongshan, the past of Su's family will be eliminated. If Su dares to deceive me, the day when I step on Zhongshan will be the day when Su's family will fall."

Liu Chuang's words were gloomy and terrifying.

Su Wei felt cold sweat oozing from his back, which made him frightened.

Fortunately, Liu Chuang didn't say anything anymore, so he strode out of the yatang.

Zhuge Liang walked to Su Wei with a smile and reached out to pull Su Wei's arm, "Brother Dali, why not find a place and then discuss it in detail?"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

How do Zhuge Liang and Su Wei discuss?

Liu Chuang did not ask any more... He believed that Zhuge Liang could handle this matter properly and get a satisfactory result.

On the way back to Zhuo County, Tian Shi couldn't help asking: "Since the lord is determined to cooperate with Jian Man, why does he secretly support Bu Dugen?"

Tian Shi and Ju Hu have now entered Liu Chuang's shogunate and become counselors around Liu Chuang.

As for Xu Shu, he had fully demonstrated his talents in the Battle of Youzhou, and even shone brightly in the Battle of Suicide City, and was enough to stand alone.

Liu Chuang's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and he needs more and more talents.

Especially after Tian Yu was appointed as the General of the Xianbei Protective, Guo Yuan was also a little upset and asked Liu Chuang for battle several times.

Zhuge Liang believed that Guo Yuan was indeed talented.

More importantly, he was very loyal to Liu Chuang, and his relatives with Liu Chuang should be allowed to do things. Shanggu County is very important, but because the Daxianbei Mountain was captured by Liu Chuang, Shanggu County has actually become the rear supply base of the Daxianbei Mountain, and its strategic significance is not as important as before. According to a series of naturalizations formulated by Liu Chuang, Liu Chuang will fill Shanggu County with a population of 200,000 in the future.

If this goal can be really achieved, coupled with the original population of Shanggu County, it will be enough to ensure the supply of grain and grass in the Daxianbei Mountains...

In this way, Guo Yuan was no longer suitable to be the prefect of Shanggu County. His military talents were outstanding, but his internal affairs skills were far from enough to assume the position of prefect of a county. So, after thinking about it, Liu Chuang decided to transfer Guo Yuan from Shanggu County, go to Beixincheng to take office, and become the chief lieutenant. He then appointed Shi Tao as the prefect of Shanggu County, and at the same time ordered Meng Jian to go to the surrendered city and wait for the order.

If Wuyuan County is captured, Meng Jian will become the prefect of Wuyuan.

The transfer of Shi Tao and Meng Jian has temporarily vacancies in the shogunate...

Fortunately, the arrival of Tian Shi and Ju Hu can make up for Shi Tao and Meng Jian's departure very well, and it is even better in some aspects.

Liu Chuang smiled and said, "Do you really think that Jian Man is going to join me?"

"this……"

"Jian Man, the grandson of Tan Shihuai, is also a wolf.

He now relies on me, on the one hand to fight against Budugen and Kebieneng, and on the other hand to suppress Daihu Alang Ni and Jueji. He has now gathered the tribes left by his grandfather in the past in Anhou River and even annexed one-third of Budugen's tribes, so he has the confidence to fight against Budugen. But once Budugen was eliminated by him, and he killed Daihu Alang Ni and Jueji, he would definitely peek at Youge. At that time, my attention should be focused on the Central Plains, and I am afraid I have no time to take care of him too much.

I don’t need a unified Xianbei, I need them to continue to fight to be in my interests.

Therefore, I can support Jian Man, but at the same time I must support Bu Dugen and Ke Bieneng... I want to use Jian Man to fight Bu Dugen and the two of them. I can neither give in to Bu Dugen to have the advantage, so that Jian Man will inevitably give up on the confrontation; nor can I give in to Bu Dugen too weak, so that Jian Man will easily defeat Bu Dugen and unify the Xianbei. After thinking about it, I can only let the Su family secretly contact Bu Dugen, and at the same time try to alienate the relationship between Jian Man and Dai Hu A Lang Ni. If necessary, I can even get Er Zen involved.

In short, before I can quell the war in the Central Plains, the Xianbei must not stop the war..."

Ju Hu and Tian Shi nodded repeatedly, and it could be seen that Liu Chuang was very afraid of the Xianbei people.

I'm afraid that he was not only afraid of the Xianbei people, but all the Hu people in the northern border would feel afraid!

"Lord. When will the troops enter Jizhou?"

Liu Chuang smiled slightly and said softly: "When the time is right, we will send troops to Jizhou."

What is the time to be ripe? When is the time to be ripe?

Liu Chuang didn't say anything, Tian Shi and Ju Hu didn't ask again...
To be continued...
