Chapter 585: Tall and Noble and Short and Poor

The sunshine in March shines in through the hole in the roof and falls on everyone. It seems to cast a thin layer of golden light on everyone. There is no food or wine on the table, only a pot of hot tea and three dishes. Only a small lamp.

Zeng Xian picked up the teapot, filled the three cups with tea, retreated behind Jiang Xinliang, and stood with his hands tied. Jiang Xinliang's eyes fell on the still rotating tea in the cup, as if he wanted to see a flower from the sunken water swirl.

Gao Yuan and Jiang Jiaquan took a sip from the cup. They both narrowed their eyes, savored the tea for a moment, and unanimously said "good tea."

"This is the new tea we just got this year. Doctor Tan sent it from Jicheng on horseback. It is naturally very good." Jiang Xinliang raised his head, "Gao Yuan, don't worry about me, you are not afraid of what I will do in this tea." What tricks?"

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, "If you were such a fool, then we wouldn't be sitting here today. It's rare for Tan Feng to be so flattering to you. As soon as the new tea came out, he rushed it to you on a fast horse. It seems that he takes it seriously. I value you very much!”

Jiang Xinliang snorted, "Gao Yuan, I hate you."

After hearing this, Gao Yuan blinked and chuckled, "There are many people who hate me in this world. They all want to chop off my head as soon as they see me. You are a special one. You hate me." , but you brought out the best things to entertain me. Governor Jiang, if you hated me a few years ago, I would not care at all, but you hate me now, but I am proud of you!"

Jiang Xinliang felt a little sad and drank all the tea in the cup. "Actually, it's not just hatred, but also envy and jealousy. Besides, there's also some gratitude mixed in."

"I'm not tall enough to have done anything that you can be grateful for, but in the whole city, I have to thank you for being the first one to come to my aid." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

Jiang Xinliang shook his head. "I'm grateful to you for tying me down from here with a rope, like lifting a wild boar. Mr. Jiang was also with me!"

Gao Yuan was slightly embarrassed and touched his nose, "If you don't fight, you won't know each other, that's probably it."

"The rope tied me up, and Mr. Jiang's advice later made me realize what I am today." Jiang Xinliang picked up the small cup that was refilled with tea, "So, I I still want to toast you."

"Just think of us as celebrating the new life of the county governor!" Gao Yuan raised his cup happily.

Drink it all in one gulp. Putting down the cup, Gao Yuan said bluntly: "Chief Jiang, since we are sitting together today, there is no need to beat around the bush. I think we should talk about cooperation, how about it?"

A trace of blush appeared on Jiang Xinliang's face.

Now, I can finally sit side by side with these world-famous big shots. After discussing the cooperation, a small trace of pride emerged in my heart, but it was immediately dismissed without a trace by him.

"General Gao, what do you want?" Jiang Xinliang asked.

"I want to join forces with Governor Jiang. Together we can defeat Donghu and eliminate this border scourge that has threatened Dayan for countless years." Gao Yuan said.

Jiang Xinliang smiled and said: "Destroy Donghu, not so much for Dayan, but for yourself. General Gao. Please forgive me, compared with Donghu, you are too weak. I don't think highly of you. Likewise, Compared with Dayan Chaotang, you are also weak, and for me, it is obviously impossible to stand with the weak. "

Gao Yuan frowned slightly, Jiang Xinliang refused so simply, obviously he really didn't want to cooperate with him, but he met with him again, for what reason? Could it be that he wanted to show off his current achievements in front of him?

"Since Sheriff Jiang sees me as a weakling, does he want to beat me up next?" Gao Yuan asked.

"I have 30,000 Yuyang County soldiers, but you in Hejian only have 3,000 recruits that Ye Zhen has just trained. To be honest, I am really excited." Jiang Xinliang smiled proudly: "If I really do this , How will General Gao respond?"

Gao Yuan burst out laughing. When Jiang Xinliang said this, he felt relieved, "Before I came, Ye Zhen was sharpening his sword. He really wanted to test the combat power of his newly trained soldiers. If Jiang Governor wanted to try Knife, I welcome it.”

At this point, the two looked at each other and laughed together. Amid laughter, Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Governor Jiang, our time is precious. There is no need to talk about these useless things. Tell me, what kind of rules are you? I, Gao Yuan, am a straight person. I like to go straight and don't like to beat around the bush." "

"If you are a straight person, then there will be no exquisite person in this world!" Jiang Xinliang said quietly: "Let's be honest, I know what you want to do, and I also understand that you want to win me over, but now you still It's very weak. Even if I hug my thick legs, I won't be able to hug you all at once, so I want to take a look."

"I understand, you want to wait for me to decide the winner with those people, right?" Gao Yuan said.

"There is no need to wait so long. If you can defeat Donghu and dominate Liaodong, then I will be your most loyal ally. If you lose to Donghu, or if you can't defeat Donghu, then I'm sorry, I will add insult to injury. Yes." Jiang Xinliang looked at Gao Yuan with an unusually sincere tone.

"You are a real villain!" Gao Yuan shook his head.

"A true villain is better than a hypocrite. It will do no harm to you or me to speak plainly. Reputation can lead to misunderstandings. Tan Feng's Yan Lingwei keeps sending information from Hejian to me. Isn't that what they expect from me?" As a knife for him, he wants me, a newbie, to be hot-headed and march my army straight into the river, but how can I be so stupid as to pick a weak persimmon? "

"But you still have to put on some posture to confuse Tan Feng, right?"

"Of course, that's why I'm going to meet you again at your invitation. We always have to set up the battle, but I don't want it to really lead to any conflict." Jiang Xinliang raised his eyebrows.

"That is to say, from a clear perspective, Yuyang and Hejian will form a military confrontation for at least the next few years." Gao Yuan thought thoughtfully.

"Of course, isn't this what Tan Feng wants to see? They are full of problems now. They have to focus on restructuring, deploy troops to deal with Qi, and station elite troops in Langmuya to guard against you. This end , he can only count on me." Jiang Xinliang laughed.

"Military confrontation does not mean confrontation in other aspects!" Gao Yuan looked at Jiang Xinliang and said, "In other words, in other aspects, we can still communicate with each other."

"Come on!" Jiang Xinliang clapped his hands and said, "General Gao is really powerful. He revealed my thoughts with just one sentence. We can cooperate in other aspects, of course, quietly."

"What do you want?" Gao Yuan asked.

"The weapons for conquering the East are unparalleled in the world. I want your weapons and grassland war horses produced in western Liaoning to be as beautiful as Dong Hu's. Of course, the more of these war horses, the better." Jiang Xinliang said: "I want these two."

Gao Yuan laughed, "You are my potential enemy. Whether it is military industry or war horses, they are all strategic materials. Aren't you and I an enemy?"

"But I may also be a potential ally in the future." Jiang Xinliang's eyes showed a sly look, "Making this future ally more powerful will be of great benefit to your future."

"The risk is a bit high!" Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"If you don't even have the courage to conquer Donghu, how can you defeat Tan Feng and Zhou Yu, and how can you convince me?" Jiang Xinliang said with a smile: "This is indeed a risky investment, it depends on how tall you are as a general. Do you have the courage?"

Gao Yuan laughed and said, "I've even used the Jijiang method. Do you think I look like the kind of person who eats the Jijiang method?"

"It doesn't hurt to use it sometimes!" Jiang Xinliang was exposed, but his face didn't turn red, "What's more, I told the truth. The Donghu people are your number one enemy now. If you don't defeat him, you will at best You are a local tycoon in western Liaoning. Only by defeating Donghu and occupying Liaodong will you become a truly promising person to me. At that time, I will naturally invest heavily in you. "

Gao Yuan touched his chin, "I originally thought that I am already high-end and classy now, but after working on it for a long time, in your eyes, I am still a short and poor person. This is really frustrating."

"It's not uncommon for an ugly duckling to turn into a swan." Jiang Xinliang continued his stimulation method.

"I can give you weapons and war horses, but what will you give in exchange?" Gao Yuan touched his nose and asked with a smile.

"I will never be your enemy before you and Donghu decide the outcome. Isn't that enough?" Jiang Xinliang asked puzzledly.

"Not enough, far from enough. In fact, even if you want to be my enemy, you can still come and try. Ye Zhen does only have three thousand recruits, but whether his knife is powerful or not, you have to try it to know. I also want to see Woolen cloth!"

"Then what do you want?" Jiang Xinliang spread his hands and was not discouraged. The lion had opened his mouth before, so the other party would naturally have to pay back the money.

"Salt, iron!" Gao Yuan raised two fingers, "The reason why Yuyang County has a special status in Yan State is not just because you are facing Zhao State, but because of these two things. With these two things , with more than enough financial resources, you can support your tens of thousands of troops, and this thing is exactly what I lack. If you want horses and weapons, you must exchange them for these two things. In addition to these two things, you must allow me. Under the rule of Zhengdong Mansion, we can trade freely with your Yuyang County."

"Deal!" Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Xinliang slapped the table, "That's it, if you want to exchange what you need, it's good for you and me. As for trade, it's a matter of mutual benefit. The people in your Zhengdong Mansion can make a fortune, and we can make a fortune. Isn’t it the same for merchants in Yang County?”

In the middle of the night, with the bright moon hanging high, walking under the forested mountain road, Gao Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "We have been separated for three days. We should look at each other with new eyes. The Jiang Xinliang of today is completely different from the Jiang Xinliang of the past."

"Times make heroes!" Jiang Jiaquan said: "How can you, the general, compete with the Fufeng boy back then? Jiang Xinliang has achieved this result for no reason. At this time of chaos in the world, we don't know how many things will happen. Where are the heroes?”

"Yeah, seeing Jiang Xinliang's changes, I really have to be more vigilant, but I can't capsize in the gutter!"

"The most urgent task now is to deal with the Donghu people. As long as the Donghu are defeated and Liaodong is controlled, then the general will truly be able to swim in the sea and fly to the nine heavens!" (To be continued...)
