Along the way, Xue Baoshan didn't dare to have any rebuttals, and he followed Gu Lan's words.
Come to Wu Mansion.
Glenn also understood that the character of the so-called Patriarch was a weak and incompetent person, and such a person was embarrassing.
"Is the Marshal here?"
Grant asked.
"Yes, the marshal and several generals are discussing matters, I'll go in and report to you!" The soldier at the door said something to Grant, and immediately ran into the mansion.
"General, please come in."
After a while, the soldiers ran out, Zhu You let Ge Lan in.
"Patriarch Xue, please!"
Ge Lan brought Xue Baoshan in and came to the front hall. Sure enough, besides Zhu You, there were several generals in the room. Xue Baoshan sat on the top seat, and everyone else sat on the chairs on both sides.
Seeing Ge Lan and the others, everyone looked at them one after another, but it was not Ge Lan but Xue Baoshan who was behind Ge Lan.
Everyone didn't understand why Grant would bring a stranger in.
"Excuse me, who is this?"
One person looked at Glenn and asked, they were very polite to their own people.
"Marshal, this is Xue Baoshan, the patriarch of the Xue family, a famous family in Hanzhong. This time, he was ordered to come here to discuss matters with us about Hanzhong."
Ge Lan told Zhu You about Xue Baoshan's coming.
After hearing Xue Baoshan's intentions, Zhu You looked at Xue Baoshan, Cao Zhijiang left and Xue Baoshan came.
Feeling Zhu You's gaze, Xue Baoshan nodded with a smile, "Hi, Marshal!"
Zhu You listened to Xue Baoshan's words.
half an hour.
"snort!"
Zhu You suddenly snorted coldly, Xue Baoshan saw Zhu You's expression became serious, and his eyes became cold, Xue Baoshan's heart skipped a beat, and he wondered if he was really going to die here?
But I didn't offend Zhu You either.
"Marshal, don't you know what you did wrong?"
Xue Baoshan asked tentatively.
He didn't understand why Zhu You was so angry when he saw him.
"Last time Cao Zhijiang came and said he would send troops to attack us. Is it the same for you?" Zhu You asked slowly, speaking every word very slowly.
However, the majesty in the words makes people feel shuddering when listening to Zhu You's words.
After hearing Zhu You's words, Xue Baoshan thought to himself that it was because of this incident.
He also scolded Cao Zhijiang in his heart. Cao Zhijiang offended Zhu You and Xiyi, and finally let himself bear Xiyi's anger. Xue Baoshan's hatred for Cao Zhijiang became even stronger.
Xue Baoshan wished he could tear Cao Zhijiang's corpse into tens of thousands of pieces.
"Marshal, you have misunderstood. I am not the same as Cao Zhijiang. We did not deal with it before. What Cao Zhijiang said does not mean what I say. I came here with sincerity."
Xue Baoshan immediately explained that Xue Baoshan wanted to clean himself up, and he couldn't bear the nameless anger.
"real?"
Zhu You didn't believe Xue Baoshan's words.
"Xue's family is in Qingshui City, and Cao Zhijiang, I remember, is the magistrate of Qingshui City!" Zhu You reminded Xue Baoshan, asking Xue Baoshan to tell the truth and not treat them as killing.
"What the marshal said is true, but it's because we're together that we don't deal with it. Then Cao Zhijiang thinks he's lofty and arrogant, and I'm in the same situation as me."
Xue Baoshan explained.
Zhu You listened to Xue Baoshan's words and nodded slightly, "I hope you are not lying."
"The marshal has eyes and is extremely clever. How dare I lie in front of the marshal. What I say is the truth, and I dare not be perfunctory. If I violate this statement, I will die."
In order to increase his conviction, Xue Baoshan even began to swear.
"Okay, I believe you."
Zhu You nodded.
He just wanted to test Xue Baoshan and see if Xue Baoshan had the same backbone as Cao Zhijiang, but now it seemed that he was thinking too much.
The head of the Xue family in front of him probably doesn't have the slightest backbone.
But this is also good, the soft persimmon is just right.
"Since Patriarch Xue came here on behalf of Da Zhou, we can't neglect it, and give Patriarch Xue a seat!" Zhu You shouted, and one person took a chair and placed it in the middle of the hall.?
"sit!"
Everyone shouted in unison, so scared that Xue Baoshan felt his heart beat faster, and Xue Baoshan felt in a trance.
"this?"
"You are welcome to sit down!"
Zhu You asked Xue Baoshan to sit down. Xue Baoshan didn't dare to hesitate and sat down immediately, but when he sat down, Xue Baoshan felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a thorn in his back, like a stick in his throat.
Xue Baoshan kept cheering himself up in his heart.
Tell yourself that you are the head of the Xue family.
"Earlier Cao Zhijiang came to us and told us that Dazhou wanted to trade with us in Xiyi, but the premise was that we would evacuate Dazhou. The commander did not agree. Our request is very simple. The land of Hanzhong should belong to us, so that we can open mutual markets.¡±
Zhuyou still means the original meaning, which is to want the land of Hanzhong.
"Yes, yes, the brothers who fought here from Xiyi are all close to death. If they evacuate without any benefit, let alone the marshal, I don't agree."
Xue Baoshan seems to understand Zhu You's mood and thoughts very well, and Xue Baoshan seems to agree with this matter.
"Then what do you mean?"
Zhu You looked at Xue Baoshan and asked.
"Marshal, can we take a step back on this matter? Since it is a negotiation, there is nothing absolute. If the outcome is not satisfactory, everyone will break up, wouldn't it be a pity."
Xue Baoshan said with a smile.
Zhu You nodded, "Well, you're right, Patriarch Xue still knows how to speak, unlike those so-called officials who pretend to be high-spirited and don't get into it."
Zhu You is very satisfied with Xue Baoshan's attitude, very satisfied, and he needs such a person.
"Then tell me."
Zhu You wanted to hear what Xue Baoshan meant by taking a step back.
"The marshal wants the land of Hanzhong, but he wants to seek benefits from the land of Hanzhong. In fact, what the marshal wants is not the land of Hanzhong, but the geographical advantages of Hanzhong. Hanzhong is a big city in the southwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with developed commerce and trade. Economic exchanges can be described as a land of prosperity.¡±
Xue Baoshan said.
Zhu You looked at Xue Baoshan. Although Xue Baoshan was greedy for life and afraid of death, he still had his own unique views on issues, but this was not surprising.
Greed for life and fear of death and lack of knowledge are two different things. These two things do not conflict. Xue Baoshan deserves to be the head of the Xue family, and he hit the point in one sentence.
Xue Baoshan is right, but what he needs is not the land of Hanzhong, but the development of Hanzhong and the money it brings.
This is the key to wanting the land of Hanzhong.
"You are right. What I value is indeed the rich conditions of the land of Hanzhong, not the land of Hanzhong." Zhu You also admitted this frankly.
When it comes to territory, they have no shortage of Xiyi.
However, although the territory is vast, the economy and trade are not developed. If you can get the land of Hanzhong, you can learn from each other's strengths and make up for your weaknesses. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
