So that was it, Liang Chuan understood.
Xiao Zhang wanted to buy some calligraphy, painting and antiques to bribe these Han officials!
He is right, the two groups are different.
The Khitan people are very straightforward. What they need is money and beautiful women. As long as these two things are in place, it is basically not a big problem to do anything in Liao!
Han officials are different. They are chasing fame and reputation, and think that they are different from the rough Khitan people. They have their own elegance. Most of them can refuse money and women, but they cannot refuse the temptation of antiques, calligraphy and paintings!
Collecting is a matter of elegance, not greed! This has almost become a consensus in the officialdom. Only these rare things under the rule of the Khitan in the north can impress this group of people, and it is difficult for others.
'Don't worry, sir, I will definitely handle this matter for you! '
Liang Chuan patted his chest and promised Xiao Zhang, making Xiao Zhang wish he could kill a chicken and become brothers with Liang Chuan right away.
Why hadn't he discovered this kid before? If he had known him earlier, Yanhu Camp would have been in full swing by now!
'but. . '
'The boss just said it's okay! '
'You adults must also know that antiques, calligraphy and paintings are hard to come by, unlike tea and spices that can be wholesaled all over the street. As long as these things are a little old, they are national treasures. The price. . '
Xiao Zhang patted Liang Chuan on the shoulder, had a bowl with him, and said calmly: "As long as the boss can help me, money is not an issue." . '
'Oh, hahaha. . '
The two smiled knowingly, as if they had reached a tacit understanding once again.
The wine was so enjoyable, a stone fell from my heart, and I seemed to have found a trustworthy partner.
Xiao Zhang's success comes from the model Liang Chuan taught him. Although it is not a formal master-disciple relationship, Xiao Zhang feels that it is more valuable to be Liang Chuan's friend than to be Liang Chuan's apprentice.
The world of adults is nothing more than everyone getting what they need. If everyone can be happy, that would be the best.
After they had had enough wine and food, it was time to show their hearts and souls, and the two began to call themselves brothers.
Liang Chuan tested Xiao Zhang's drinking capacity. Among the people he knew, he should be ranked among the top three. His drinking capacity was no small matter.
Xiao Zhang was also surprised that Liang Chuan could hold as much wine as he wanted, but he didn't feel drunk at all!
The two of them were half drunk and half awake, and Liang Chuan said: "Brother, you actually don't understand those Han officials. If you use those calligraphy, painting and antiques to deal with them, the effect may be average, but if you use some tricks against them, the effect may be extraordinary." generally! '
Xiao Zhang's drunken eyes were blurred, but his heart was as clear as a mirror, and he asked weakly: "Oh?" how do I say this! '
'These people seem to be indestructible and invulnerable to all poisons, but the people around them are not like that. If you want to defeat them, start with their relatives and friends. The more noble a person is, the more likely there are two people around them who can defeat them. People in other places, these relatives and friends can't be arrogant! '
When Xiao Zhang heard this, he patted his thigh repeatedly and said, "That's right! How could I have forgotten this!" '
Since Liang Chuan is willing to teach him, Xiao Zhang will naturally have a heart-to-heart relationship with Liang Chuan.
'My elder brother is really puzzled. If my brother is willing to do business with the Liao Kingdom, why is he so repulsive when it comes to serving as an official for the Liao Kingdom? '
Liang Chuan waved his hands and said drunkenly: "You don't understand. It doesn't matter if I am scolded, but I still have children and grandchildren. How can they hold their heads high in the future when they are labeled as traitors and traitors?" A person's life is only as long as grass and trees fall. No matter how high it is, national justice should be saved even if it is low. Some things are the bottom line and cannot be touched. If they are touched, they will no longer be human beings. '
Liang Chuan seemed to have said it, but seemed not to say it. Xiao Zhang wanted to make a few comments, but found that he seemed unable to do so.
He didn't understand the meaning of Liang Chuan's persistence. There were countless Han people serving as officials in the Liao Kingdom. Why didn't they have so much thought?
There are differences between people.
'Brother, aren't you afraid that my old brother will sell you out? '
Liang Chuan looked at it and laughed out loud.
From the beginning, Liang Chuan regarded the Xixia, Japanese, and South Vietnamese as enemies, but he never regarded the Khitans as enemies.
Because he knew that the Khitan people in this era had lost their blood and could not even defeat the Song people. They even allowed the Dangxiang people to sit on their heads and shit and urinate, so that they could bully those who had not yet come out of the virgin forest. The Jurchens, they would soon discover that they could not even defeat the Jurchens, and in the end they even allowed the Jurchens to destroy the country.
It is precisely because of this mentality that Liang Chuan never sent anyone to investigate the Liao Kingdom, nor did he focus on this place. As for the Khitan people, the grasshoppers after autumn did not have a good life for a few days.
Xiao Zhang is also a tragic character.
If he had been born in the past, in the era when white mountains and black waters had just emerged, he would have become a very important figure around Taizu, and his presence would even be recorded in history books.
It's a pity that the emperor these days is a useless man, and the Khitan's national destiny is about to come to an end. He is alone and unable to survive the tide of history!
There is something invisible and intangible in this world, and it's called Qi.
Many people don't admit it, but in the end they have to compromise, and no one can do anything about it.
For so many years, Liang Chuan's people have been searching for information about various heroes, but he has not inquired about any information about the Khitan people. He knows that this information is useless and a waste of time.
"Brother said jokingly, you and I are not enemies, so how can we betray you?" '
'Everyone says that the Liao and Song Dynasties are not at odds with each other. They always call the Khitan dogs, Han pigs when they meet. Do you really have no prejudice against us Khitans? '
"Whether it's a Han or a Khitan, you can sing and I'll appear, but it's just a flash in the pan. There are no permanent enemies in the world, only permanent interests." '
'good! Since I trust my brother so much, do I need my brother to leave one or two brothers behind so that I can help him show me the way? '
Liang Chuan waved his hands and said, "That's not necessary. Brother Ren should keep it for himself. Xiangping is quite famous, so he won't be unable to find it. Brother only needs to send someone to wait at the port of Xiangping to communicate with our ship." The connector is there! '
The plan has been decided, they have had enough wine and food, and Xiao Zhang will not stay any longer. Although the two call themselves brothers, they know each other well. They are wary of each other and full of calculations in their hearts. They are both the best people in the world and masters. Every move is fatal. We have tested each other enough today and have achieved our goals. Staying any longer is just a waste of time!
'The boss is waiting for your ship's arrival in Xiangping! '
'It's a deal! '
Xiao Zhang stood up and exchanged courtesies with Liang Chuan. He turned over and jumped off the side of the boat. Even his movements when getting off the boat were so graceful. Liang Chuan couldn't help but chase him to the side of the boat and take a second look. He praised in his heart, what a skill!
He didn't know where this kid learned this kind of martial arts, and he was also curious. If one day he faced Qin Jing and Sun Shubo, who would be stronger!
When he fell, he was able to take away the two swords that were originally inserted into the boat.
Hang!
When Xiao Zhang returned to the boat, a black man immediately hugged him.
Xiao Zhang's subordinates are Yelu Juncai.
Yelu Juncai has a standard appearance for a military prime minister, with well-developed limbs and strong muscles, and a full beard. He is very oppressive when he stands there! However, despite his rough appearance, he is actually a thoughtful person and is the number one think tank around Xiao Zhang.
Even Khitan scholars do not like the fair and clean appearance of Han people, but prefer the rough and powerful appearance.
'How are things going, adults? '
There was a trace of coldness in Xiao Zhang's eyes, and he said decisively to Yelu Juncai: "Go back and tell Murong Chao to get out of here, I don't want to see him again!" '
Yelu Juncai was a little surprised and asked anxiously: "No sir." '
Xiao Zhang flicked his sleeves, looked ahead and said loudly: "Why not!" '
’ I don’t know what the adults said on the Liangchuan ship. They must have acted according to the plan. We have made an agreement with Murong Chao long ago to contact Prince Zhao of the Song Dynasty, and it will be done in one fell swoop. Now that you want to leave Murong Chao aside, you must be making a choice between the two of you, and bet on Liang Chuan! '
Xiao Zhang's eyes were bright, he saw hope in Liang Chuan, and that Murong Chao, who was neither male nor female, had nothing, but wanted to talk about cooperation with the Khitans. He didn't want this kind of advantage that was brought to his door!
There is no such thing as a free lunch, everyone knows this!
All the information about Liang Chuan was given to him by this boy.
It’s thanks to this guy that Yinhuying has developed as it does today! This kid's purpose is very simple. He wants to provoke a fight between the Khitans and the Song people, and even more, he wants to provoke a conflict between Liang Chuan and their Yinhu camp. As long as one of them is injured, it will be a great advantage for him. .
However, Xiao Zhang kept a secret. After inquiring about various information about Liang Chuan, he came to the conclusion that compared to the useless Xianbei people, the Song people seemed to be more advantageous!
The Khitan and the Song people were feuding, and the Khitan and the Xianbei also had a deep hatred.
To be precise, the Khitan was born out of Xianbei and was dug up by stepping on Xianbei's corpse!
Murong Chao knew that there was no hope of overthrowing the Song Dynasty, so they had been secretly accumulating strength and wanted to bring down the Khitan instead of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was just a springboard for him.
Xiao Zhang, who specializes in intelligence, has long seen Murong Chao's ambition, but he has no choice. He needs the information in Murong Chao's hands to deal with Liang Chuan!
But now that Liang Chuan is showing favor to Xiao Zhang, Murong Chao is useless! It’s no use at all!
Xiao Zhang even knew that Murong Chao and Liang Chuan had a deep hatred. If Liang Chuan didn't cooperate with him today, he even wanted to use Murong Chao to gain Liang Chuan's favor, but he was afraid of the consequences of such villainous behavior, so he Didn't start.
Murong Chao's plan was very loud. He wanted to use the descendants of the Taizu lineage who had lost power in the Song Dynasty to join forces with him, and use the power of the Khitan to cooperate inside and outside! He would profit from it!
This guy is doing this kind of thing every day. The Japanese Kameda is used by him, the Li Dynasty of South Vietnam is used by him, and now he has set his sights on the Song Dynasty, and the Khitan is also going to be dragged into the water by him, so he just I don’t want to be used as the head of this spear!
