Chapter 124: Where Does the Grain and Grass Come From?
Lujiang Wancheng Administration, Liu Xun had already convened the generals to discuss here, in fact, Yuan Yao and others were originally going to be convened, but Liu Xun was prompted by Liu Kai and decided to discuss with many trustworthy civil and military first, and then inform Yuan Yao.
Liu Ye, who learned the news, rushed back non-stop during the night banquet in Qiao's Mansion, because the person sent by Liu Xun told Liu Ye that Sun Ce had sent another letter.
Liu Ye was anxious, this Sun Ce's move was too fast, and on the way, Liu Ye heard that Sun Ce had already set aside the whole army to attack Jiangxia Huangzu, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Guys, what do you think?" Liu Xun read out the letter from Sun Ce.
"Liu Gong's reputation is far and wide, and the admiration of Liu Gong is like a surging river, and now you and I are looking at each other across the river, which can be called close neighbors, as the saying goes, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, which means that the neighbors should watch and help each other."
"Last time I joined forces with Liu Gong, Liu Gong helped me get the heirloom jade seal from the hands of the Yuan family's traitors, and I really can't repay my humble position, so I decided to capture it for you."
"But as the saying goes, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to defend people, lest Lujiang be afraid of our minds, I decided to avenge my father at this time, and it just happened to eliminate Liu Gong's concerns.
"Humility and Jiangxia Huang Zu have a common enmity, Huang Zu once led his subordinates, killed my father, now I have led more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong, so that the vanguard led 5,000 soldiers and horses to attack Jiangxia, and my brother Sun Quan was also entrusted by me to lead more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangdong to help you attack the sea sunset."
"I have to say that the Shangyu army often invades my Jiangdong, and my soldiers are outnumbered, so I can't go on an expedition to Shangyu, but it's really annoying, and now if Liu Gong sends troops to conquer Shangyun, he is grateful."
"Shangyun has a rich area, rich products, intricate family forces, and belongs to Yuzhang, but it is independent of the world.
"In short, I hope that Liu Gong will agree, after all, after my army expedition, Jiangdong is declining, and I hope that Liu Gong will help a lot, the so-called close neighbors, all of them are like this, if I triumph, I will be grateful, and the words of gratitude are difficult to describe."
Sun Ce couldn't help but send this second letter to Liu Xun, and sent a rich gift, Liu Xun stroked his beard, looked at everyone with a smile, and his heart was really happy.
"Guys, what do you think?" Seeing that everyone was thinking after listening, and no one spoke, Liu Xun couldn't help but ask again.
"Lord, when Sun Jian and Sun were in charge of the capture of Jingzhou, he was ambushed in Da Xian Mountain by Huang Zu, Sun Jian was unfortunately killed, and Sun Ce had already said when he attacked Huiji and other places that Huang Zu would be killed, and now it seems that Jiangdong has enough soldiers and horses, food and grass, which is to avenge his father. So, I guess, this should be true. Liu Kai thought for a while and said.
"Hmm." Liu Xun nodded, he thought so too, Sun Ce had already done enough, so Liu Xun had no reason not to send troops.
In particular, the gold, silver, jewelry, grain, rice, and treasures here are completely tens of millions, so whether it is Jiangdong, Yuzhang or Lujiang, they have never dared to fight head-on with Shangyu, Shangyu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the terrain is dangerous, and it is a natural location for an independent kingdom.
Liu Xun already had an idea when he received Sun Ce's letter, but although he said that he didn't listen to Liu Ye's words, he still secretly figured out in his heart, what if he really sent troops, what if Jiangdong beat him? At that time, the nest was copied by others, and there was no place to cry if you wanted to.
But now? Jiangdong showed goodwill, Jiangxia and Jiangdong went to war, since the two of them exchanged fire, it was a life-and-death battle, and it couldn't stop for a while, and the soldiers and horses on Shouchun's side, Liu Xun smiled.
Yuan Yao's goods were tied up as hostages in Lujiang, where did the Shouchun soldiers and horses come from?
From this point of view, Liu Xun sent troops this time, how can he be invincible?
Liu Xun couldn't help but stroking his hands and laughing, this is really God helping me.
Now, as stated in the letter, Sun Ce has given Liu Xun enough reasons to send troops.
"Lord, I can't imagine that Jiangdong Sun Ce really admires your name, my lord really has heaven's help this time." Some people pat the sycophants again, anyway, it's a good thing, and patting the sycophants won't get pregnant.
Tai Shi Ci squinted his eyes on the side, two days ago he had sent Wu Anguo's wife and children to Jiang Ting, although he didn't know what Yuan Yao was going to do, but Tai Shi Ci could obviously feel it, it seemed that Yuan Yao had made a big deal for Lu Jiang.
Tai Shici couldn't help but be irritated when he looked at Liu Xun and everyone's flattery of Liu Xun, but he couldn't think of the crux of the problem, so he turned his puzzled eyes to Liu Ye on the side.
Although Liu Ye got Yuan Yao's reply when he talked to Yuan Yao today, he knew that it was actually useless, as long as Yuan Yao didn't say it to Liu Xun in person, Liu Xun would not just listen to Liu Ye's family, compared to others, his Liu Ye's words were too harsh.
Although it is said that good medicine is good for disease, and good advice is good for deeds, but if the lord doesn't know whether you are good or slanderous, then what should you do? Anyway, there won't be a major guild that will label the word of adviceβthe one who goes against the ear is the word of advice! Because it's possible that someone else is scolding you.
"Lord, have you ever thought about what we should do when Sun Ce suddenly turns back on the way to attack Huang Zu and attacks Lujiang? Although the upper line is small, but the city is strong and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it will not be able to take it down within ten days, and then you will enter the place where you can not enter, and there is no place to return, and everything will be over. Liu Ye thought about it for a while, and still couldn't help but say, Liu Xun and Cao Cao have an old relationship, with Liu Xun's ability, Lujiang will change hands sooner or later, but Lujiang in Cao Cao's hands will definitely give Cao Cao great benefits.
But now that Cao Cao and Lujiang are far apart, Liu Ye still wants to keep Lujiang, which is the step to advance in the future.
"Humph! Sun Ce had already fought Huang Zu, if Sun Ce withdrew from the army, how could Huang Zu stand idly by? Liu Xun snorted coldly, he didn't like Liu Ye's approach, last time he told him how about Sun Ce? How about now? Sun Ce sent another gift.
"Brother Liu, I think you are too worried, you see that Jiangdong Sun Ce couldn't help but speak earnestly in the letter, and also showed that he hoped that some of the money on the bank could be left for him, if he really wanted to deceive the lord to send troops, he could take nothing at all!" Liu Xun's men argued with Liu Ye.
"Yes! If he is tempted by profits, he can be a little happier," Liu Xun coughed twice and said. And a discerning person can naturally see that what Sun Ce said is just a humble remark, which really reminds Liu Xun not to be too greedy. People who can say such things are naturally not afraid that Liu Xun will not send troops, isn't it?
Besides, in the end, Sun Ce came to say that Jiangdong is now in decline, so because they need to attack Huangzu, Shangyi and other places need to be cleared, Sun Ce asked him to send troops, isn't it very reasonable?
"Hey." Liu Ye sighed, it is precisely because of this that Liu Xun can be more convinced of the authenticity of the matter, otherwise with Liu Xun's suspicious personality, I am afraid that he will not send troops.
"Lord, in that case, along the way, you have to get a lot of information, just in case Sun Ce makes a false shot." Liu Ye had no choice but to say.
Hearing that Liu Ye was soft, Liu Xun's mood improved, and he was relieved to be worshiped by everyone and slapped his beard.
"In that case, come on!" Liu Xun shouted, "You go to the Yuan Mansion to invite General Yuan and other generals, and say that I have something important to discuss." β
"Yes, my lord!" His subordinates hurriedly went down to give orders, and then ordered Yuan Yao and others to come to Wancheng to govern the office.
After a while, Yuan Yao took Yang Hong, Yuan Yin, Zhang Xun and others to the office, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard Liu Xun's hearty laughter.
"General Yuan, I really thank you for asking you to help me buy grain and grass last time!" Liu Xun thanked sincerely, but his eyes were like eagle falcons, as if he wanted to see through Yuan Yao's reaction, as if he could see where the grain and grass came from.
After all, it was too mysterious, at that time, Liu Xun sent people to keep an eye on Yuan Yao, just to get the location of the treasure, but he didn't expect to keep an eye on it, Yuan Yao went out to hunt in the middle, and 20,000 stones of grain and grass had already appeared in front of his eyes out of thin air.
Moreover, they are all fine grains that even Liu Xun has never seen.
"Needless to say, these are all things I should do." Yuan Yao smiled and replied, and in a blink of an eye, seeing Liu Ye's cannibalistic gaze next to him, Yuan Yao shook his eyebrows and provoked.
Liu Ye was angry, and suddenly a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out.
"However, I don't know General Yuan, where did you get all this grain and grass?" Liu Xun asked with a smile.
"Taishou, do you really want to know?" Yuan Yao drank a cup of tea and replied with a smile.
"Of course, the refined grain that General Yuan bought is really the best grain and grass that I Liu Xun has ever seen, it tastes delicious and sweet, and it melts in your mouth." Liu Xun praised without hesitation.
"I'm sorry, I really can't tell you." Yuan Yao said innocently.
Liu Xun's smile suddenly froze on his face, and he heard Yuan Yao continue, "Actually, it's really not that I don't want to say it, but when I was six years old, I met an old grandfather, and he gave me a book of heaven, on which it was written what to ask for rain, peerless martial arts or something, I couldn't understand it, and it pointed out that Noah's Ark was full of grain, and I found it there." β
"No...... No, what? Liu Xun asked with interest.
"Noah's Ark!" Yuan Yao drank another cup of tea, and said lightly.
"Noah's Ark," Liu Xun frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Where is this Noah's Ark?" β
Yuan Yao immediately covered his mouth.
Liu Xun said embarrassedly, "Actually, it doesn't matter, since the general doesn't want to say more, then I won't ask, haha." β
Yuan Yao hesitated, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to say it, but that old man said that if I reveal the information about this thing, I will be haunted by bad luck." And the person who asked me, too. β
Liu Xun rolled his eyes, although he was a little dizzy, but Liu Xun's brain was still very good, at least he was not stupid, looking at Yuan Yao and saying blindly, Liu Xun said in his heart: "This goods, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, and there is some bad luck in it." β
"You don't believe it?" Yuan Yao said in surprise.
"Huh." Liu Xun showed a smile that was not smiling.
"If you don't believe it, think about it, where did all that grain and grass come from? That's from the sky! Yuan Yao was kind and seductive.
"Yo, yes. Where did the grain and grass come from? Liu Xun was taken aback, and said secretly in his heart, "Could it be that Yuan Yao is telling the truth." β
"Do you want to know more?" Yuan Yao made a righteous expression, "Since Yuan Yao is in Lujiang now, he has to solve problems for the general, if the general really wants to know, then please reward me with a beautiful concubine tonight, and I will inform you of the news tomorrow." β
"Huh?" Liu Xun was startled, and asked worriedly, "Beauty...... Beautiful concubine? General Yuan, what kind of bad luck is it? β
Yuan Yao's face drooped, frowned and cried: "General, yes...... It is the same symptom as the Ten Permanent Attendants. β
Liu Xun was shocked, cold sweat flowed, wiped sweat and said, "You don't need to know, you don't need to know, I can get grain and grass, it's enough,...... That's enough. β
