Gusa Heiyun looked surprised and opened her mouth, but she didn't say anything.

He didn't expect Chu Huan to refuse so frankly.

Chu Huan leaned on the chair and chuckled, "Don't be surprised by the great ritual officer, I am forced to do so. The great ritual officer said it well. Qin and Xiliang have indeed turned swords into jade and silk, and the swords and weapons have stopped. Moreover, opening up the trade between you and us will be beneficial to each other."

Gusa Heiyun wondered: "Since that's the case, the prince consort... why didn't the prince consort sell us salt?"

Chu Huan patted his seat and sighed: "It's because of this chair, the great ceremonial officer, you shouldn't forget that this governor is now the governor of Xiguan Road."

"It was because the son-in-law was in charge of Xiguan that Gusa Heiyun came over to beg." Gusa Heiyun said, "No matter what, the son-in-law is also the son-in-law of my Xiliang Shi tribe. For the sake of Qiluotalange, please think twice."

"I do owe Qiluo a lot." Chu Huan said solemnly: "But you Xiliang owed more people in Xiguan. The great ritual officer came to Shuoquan and should have seen along the way that many lands were deserted, and the people were all pale and thin and very weak. Although this governor tried his best to restore the prosperity of Xiguan in the past, it was not possible to complete it in three or five years. All of this is also given to you Xiliang people."

Gusa Heiyun said awkwardly: "Mr. Concubine, this... this is all a thing from the past. If you and me want to enjoy peace, they should forget the past."

Chu Huan said: "Do you know what is the most difficult thing to forget in this world? Hate is more remembered than love. I understand that when you and I open up trade, I know the benefits of it, but will the people know? Especially Xiguan Road and the four prefectures of Xiguan Road, you were occupied by your Xiliang army for more than three roads. The people in Xiguan were killed or injured. Almost every family had relatives died and died under your iron cavalry and scimitar. Now your Grand Priest wants you to sell salt to you. Yes, I can indeed provide salt to you in one sentence, but the Grand Priest has thought about the consequences?"

Gusa Black Cloud's lips moved slightly and his brows were slightly tightened.

"I finally managed to calm the people of Xiguan. At this time, if they provide salt to you for money, do you think the people will not speak safely?" Chu Huan said lightly: "You Xiliang people have fought with the Northwest Army. Yes, you did have the upper hand for a while, but you have to admit that the Northwest people are brave and brave, and are strong in their bones. When they know that the Governor provides salt to their enemies, I believe that someone will definitely want to rush into my Governor's Mansion and swallow our Governor alive."

Gusa Heiyun said annoyedly: "It's just a group of fools. How can they know what a national event is? Will the prince-consort be controlled by them in their decision-making?"

Chu Huan shrugged, "Water can carry boats, but it can also overturn the boats. The people are water. They can let the Superintendent sail safely on the water, but they can also cause storms and waves, making the Superintendent crushed to pieces."

Gusa Heiyun had never heard of this common saying, but he didn't care about these things at this time. When he got up, he fell to the ground with a "thump". Chu Huan tightened his eyebrows and asked hurriedly: "What does the great ritual officer mean?"

"Mr. Concubine, although it is difficult, Gusa Heiyun asks you to think twice. Now the soldiers of Mahazang and Gusa Concubine are guarding the important places and do not take the initiative to attack. They have made up their minds and waited for our salt to be cut off and there will be chaos inside." Gusa Heiyun said with a serious expression: "In order to take down Hanhai, countless casualties, but Hanhai is still in the hands of the rebels. If this continues, the Regent... The Regent can't hold on. When I set off, the Regent... the Regent has already ordered that even his own meals will be put on every three days... three days...!"

Chu Huan frowned and said angrily: "The situation has reached this point? Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Gusa Heiyun smiled bitterly and said, "The Regent ordered him to come here to negotiate with the prince consort, not begging, so...!"

Chu Huan reached out to pull Gusa Heiyun up, and then asked: "In other words, Gusa Concubine knows that you are salt wasteland, so she doesn't fight with you head-on, she just wants to trap you to death?"

"That vicious woman...!" Although they are from the same clan, Gusa Heiyun and Gusa's concubine were in the same state as fire. He gritted his teeth and said, "The strongest part of our Xiliang is the cavalry. The Maha tribe under the regent, the Shi tribe, and the Qingtan tribe all have many brave and excellent cavalry soldiers. If the decisive battle on the grassland, the rebels will undoubtedly be defeated. Because of this, they have not fought with us, but blocked our resources. At the beginning, the source of the ore of the Xiliang tribe was blocked, mainly from the Tianlang Mountain of the Gusa tribe and the Yingshan Mountain of the Zangtula tribe. Both of these have rebelled. The Heishui Zhula tribe gave up the Black Shui and moved to the vicinity of Yingshan. They set up defenses with the Zangtula tribe in Yingshan, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the cavalry is difficult to exert their power."

Chu Huan thought that this must be the countermeasure that Gusa had planned behind the scenes.

Xiliang originally had two most powerful armies, Babaitu and Tarik, the Babaitu guard of the little prince Mahara, was almost wiped out in the Battle of Montenegro, and most of the defeated troops had been reorganized by Mahazang. Therefore, the strongest cavalry corps in Xiliang are now the only Tarik guards left.

The land area of ​​Xiliang is quite large, with mountains, seas and grasslands distributed. The grasslands occupy the main body. The cavalry of Xiliang, which is powerful in the world, mainly relies on the grassland legion.

The prairie of Xiliang is divided into three parts: the Gulaqin prairie of the Nashi tribe, the Mangha prairie of the Qingtan tribe, and the Qingluo prairie of the Maha tribe.

The three major grasslands are flat and have cavalry power. The area where the rebels are located is either mountainous or sea areas. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are naturally incomparable to Mahazang.

The cavalry of Xiliang had already been greatly trained after the Northwest War. If the rebels fought with Mahazang's army head-on, they would not want to know the consequences.

Now the rebels have not faced the head-on battle with the cavalry, but have fully utilized their advantages in their local area. Neither in mountainous areas nor in seas, the cavalry cannot pose an absolute threat.

Gusa Heiyun sat down again at Chu Huan's warning and said with a wry smile: "Eagle Mountain and Tianlang Mountain blocked the ore, but the Regent didn't take it seriously. We did not lack weapons in our hands, but the rebels immediately blocked the salt road, which was to pinch our lifeline. Although the Chiyan tribe is not strong among the Golden Nine Tribes, they have the largest sea division in our Xiliang, the huge vast sea, which is the world of the Chiyan tribe's naval division."

Chu Huan thoughtfully and asked, "The Rakshasa tribe in the Rakshasa Sea should also have naval troops, right?"

"The Rakshasa Sea is a sea of ​​light, and it hardly produces salt. Even if there is only a part of the salt, it is not enough to supply their tribe, so the Rakshasa tribe has always relied on the salt of the Hanhai." Gusa Heiyun whispered: "The Regent also ordered the navy of the Rakshasa tribe to fight, advance in water and land, and seize the Hanhai, but... The Rakshasa tribe was ungrateful and did not send a soldier. Since the war started, it has been still unmoved. We have also thought about capturing the Rakshasa tribe and then using the Rakshasa tribe's naval army to capture the Hanhai, but the Regent finally gave up this idea."

Chu Huan said "Oh", and Gusa Heiyun smiled bitterly: "Not to mention that the soldiers of the Rakshasa tribe are good at fighting, and once they attack them, the Rakshasa tribe will rebel. By then, there will be five rebellions in the Golden Nine Divisions. The most important thing is that the Rakshasa tribe is located in the Rakshasa Sea in the east. If there is an accident in the Rakshasa Sea, there will be Yi barbarians in the east. They have been eyeing our Xiliang. It is just because the Rakshasa tribe guards the Rakshasa Sea that they have no chance to invade. If the Rakshasa tribe is in chaos, the Yi barbarians may take advantage of the situation. Therefore, the Rakshasa tribe has always used this as an excuse to say that it is for the local Yi barbarians, and they cannot send troops easily."

Chu Huan nodded slightly and sighed: "It seems that the Regent has really reached a desperate situation."

Gusa Heiyun once again learned the etiquette of the people of the Central Plains and bowed to Chu Huan: "It is a critical moment. I would like to ask the prince-consort to help me. If the Regent cannot stand it and is won by Mahara and Gusa Concubine, they will definitely settle the accounts and eliminate dissidents in the fall. Then the Ministry of History is the most loyal to the Regent. At that time, the Ministry of History will inevitably suffer a catastrophe. At that time, Qiluotalange is afraid...!"

Chu Huan sneered and said, "Is the Grand Priest threatening me?"

Gusa Heiyun hurriedly said, "I dare not, the prince consort misunderstood."

Chu Huan waved his hand and said, "I am the official of the court, and I have a clear distinction between public and private affairs. I am indeed worried about Qi Luo, but... I will not ruin national affairs for the sake of my children's love."

Gusa Heiyun said disappointedly: "What the prince consort means is he refuses to sell salt?"

Chu Huan leaned on the chair without saying anything. He closed his eyes and gently patted the handle of the chair with one hand, as if thinking about something. Gusa Heiyun said no to say anything.

After a long time, Chu Huan sighed: "Grand Official, you are right. The Regent regards me as a friend, and Qiluo... Qiluo is my wife, so I can't ignore it..."

Gusa Heiyun looked happy and said hurriedly: "What the prince consort means...will help us?"

"Don't say that for now." Chu Huan said distressedly: "Master, I'm really in a difficult situation now. The Regent and Qi Luo are in trouble. According to personal feelings, even if I give some salt, it would be natural. However, this will definitely greatly hurt the people of Xiguan. I am their parents' official and cannot do this."

"We can buy it." Gusa Heiyun said: "We can buy it several times the price."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "I have said just now that money transactions will make the people feel even more resentful..." He smiled bitterly and said, "Grand Official, you are also a wise man. See if there is any way to achieve the best of both worlds... I really can't think of a good idea now."

"How?" Gusa Heiyun was a little stunned.

The room was extremely quiet for a moment, and the ancient black clouds were thinking, while Chu Huan was calm and composed. After a while, Chu Huan finally said, "The regent is about to suffer a disaster. I cannot sit idly by, and it is related to the survival of millions of people in Xiliang. This...!" After a pause, he said, "But if the people in Xiguan accept it, you Xiliang may have to pay a huge price. Only when you pay the price, the people may be able to accept it."
