After Fang Qiao sat down, Liu Biao immediately asked, "Don't drive, I don't know what Wang Zhenxi's intention is to send you as an envoy this time?" ”

Seeing that Liu Biao came up and went straight to the topic, Fang Qiao also replied directly: "Back to Liu Zhoumu, my lord sent me here to reach an alliance with Liu Zhoumu." ”

"Alliance? Wang Zhenxi is now in Yongliang and Hanzhong, how did he think of forming an alliance with me? ”

"Back to Liu Zhoumu, this is because my lord wants to make a deal with you."

When he heard this, not only Liu Biao was stunned, but even the ministers under Liu Biao were also confused, because they really couldn't keep up with Fang Qiao's jumping thinking.

Immediately after, Fang Qiao also continued: "Liu Zhoumu, you must already know that the Guanzhong region has also been recovered by my lord!" ”

"Yes!"

"Liu Zhoumu, the Guanzhong area has been harmed by Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and Guo Yan, and now the Guanzhong area is ten rooms and nine empty, and my lord is determined to restore Guanzhong."

"That's a good thing! But Wang Zhenxi's alliance with me has nothing to do with this matter! ”

"Definitely! This is the reason why I am mainly allied with Liu Zhoumu. ”

"Oh? May it be heard! ”

"Liu Zhou Mu, although my lord is now according to Yongliang and Hanzhong, but Yongliang is now very short of grain, although there is quite a surplus of grain in Hanzhong, but the land of a county in Hanzhong is not able to support the ten counties of Yongliang, so my lord intends to sell Liangzhou war horses in exchange for Jingzhou surplus grain, which is also the reason why my lord sent me to discuss an alliance with Liu Zhoumu."

When they heard this, the ministers of Jingzhou suddenly realized.

Liu Biao also fell into deep thought: "I didn't expect Wang Zhenxi to form an alliance with me because he coveted the surplus grain in Jingzhou, but it is not impossible to buy the Liangzhou War Horse." ’

At this moment, Kuai Yue said loudly: "Wang Zhenxi is so calculating!" ”

Seeing Kuai Yue say this, Fang Qiao pretended to be puzzled and replied, "Why did this adult say this?" ”

Kuai Yue didn't answer Fang Qiao's words after hearing this, he turned to Liu Biao and said, "The lord must not agree to form an alliance with Wang Zhenxi!" ”

Hearing Kuai Yue say this, the ministers of Jingzhou were quite surprised, because the proposal that Fang Qiao said was very good in their opinion, after all, there was a shortage of horses in the south, and it was indeed a good proposal to use the surplus grain in exchange for war horses to form cavalry.

Besides, when Liu Biao saw that Kuai Yue asked Fang Qiao to not come to the stage in public, he immediately scolded: "Heterogeneous Hugh wants to talk nonsense!" Don't get down yet. ”

When Kuai Yue saw that no one came out to help him, he immediately looked at Kuai Liang.

But Kuai Liang didn't understand Kuai Yue's deep meaning, so he turned a blind eye.

When Kuai Yue saw that Kuai Liang did not understand his hints, he was very anxious, because he saw at a glance the deep meaning of Wang Kai exchanging war horses for surplus grain, Wang Kai was planning to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, once Wang Kai relied on the grain of Jingzhou to restore the vitality of Guanzhong, then Wang Kai will definitely look at Nanyang, after all, Nanyang County is close to Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and Nanyang County is lost, then the door of Jingzhou will be wide open.

Besides, when Liu Biao saw that Kuai Yue had not retreated, he suddenly became a little angry.

"Xeno, if you don't retreat, I'll order someone to fork you out."

When Kuai Yue heard this, he immediately confessed and retreated, because if he was forked out, no one would be able to remind Liu Biao.

At this time, Liu Biao asked with a smile: "Don't drive the house, I don't know what kind of war horse Wang Zhenxi plans to exchange for surplus grain?" ”

After hearing this, Fang Qiao also quickly thought in his mind: "Although the lord intends to exchange war horses for surplus food, he can't enhance Liu Biao's strength, so most inferior horses are supplemented by some medium horses and a few superior horses. ’

After a turn of his mind, Fang Qiao immediately replied: "Back to Liuzhou Mu, my lord plans to exchange 700 inferior horses, 300 medium horses and 3 superior horses for 200,000 grains. ”

"Two hundred thousand? Why don't you grab it? It was Kuai Yue who said this.

Liu Biao saw that Kuai Yue was interjecting again, and he hurriedly shouted: "Xeno, if you are rude, I will really drive you out." ”

Kuai Yue, who was reprimanded by Liu Biao, immediately lowered his head again.

At this time, Liu Biao replied with some hesitation: "Don't drive the house, 200,000 Hu is indeed a lot!" ”

"Liu Zhoumu, these 200,000 Hu can not be all polished rice, but can also be replaced by corn, as long as it can feed people."

"That's okay, I will give 80,000 Hu milled rice and 120,000 Hu corn, what do you think?"

"This..."

Fang Qiao saw that Liu Biao was so able to bargain, and he immediately replied: "Liu Zhoumu, my lord's restoration of Guanzhong is also for the sake of the Han people, and I also ask Liu Zhoumu to be considerate of the people of Guanzhong, after all, they have suffered from the war." ”

Liu Biao thought for a while and then replied: "Then 100,000 Hu polished rice and 100,000 Hu corn!" ”

"Liu Zhoumu, my lord has used 300 medium-sized horses, and I think 120,000 Hu milled rice plus 80,000 Hu corn is the most suitable."

Liu Biao immediately thought about it after hearing this, because the conditions given by Fang Qiao were within the range he could accept, but if he took too much polished rice, it would boost Wang Kai's military prestige.

When Liu Biao's ministers saw that Liu Biao was thinking hard, everyone waited quietly, but Kuai Yue kept grinding his skin and rubbing his itch, because he was afraid that Liu Biao would agree.

Besides, after some careful consideration, Liu Biao immediately replied: "I agreed to your request." ”

When Fang Qiao saw that Liu Biao agreed, he immediately got up and thanked him: "I thank Liu Zhoumu here for the people of Guanzhong. ”

"Then I don't know how often Wang Zhenxi plans to exchange?"

"How about a quarter? Until Guanzhong is able to be self-sufficient. ”

After hearing this, Liu Biao suddenly thought to himself: 'Is it limited to one quarter?' With the erosion situation in Guanzhong, Wang Zhenxi wants to restore the vitality of Guanzhong in two years! Two years is eight quarters, and if one quarter is changed, then I can form a cavalry army of 8,000 men. ’

Thinking of this, Liu Biao immediately clapped his hands and said: "Then it's decided." ”

At this time, after Kuai Yue saw that Liu Biao had settled down, he didn't say anything to stop him, because after carefully scrutinizing Fang Qiao's conditions, he felt that Wang Kai actually had a lot of sincerity.

As the matter of exchanging war horses for grain was decided, Fang Qiao immediately said to Liu Biao: "Liu Zhoumu, since this is the case, then I will send someone to report to the lord to sign an alliance with Liu Zhoumu." ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for good news."

Immediately, Fang Qiao resigned because his task had been completed.

When Liu Biao saw Fang Qiao's resignation, he immediately said to Kuai Liang: "Zirou, you go and send Fang Don't drive!" ”

"Command!"

Kuai Liang, who agreed, immediately left with Fang Qiao.

After Fang Qiao left, Liu Biao asked Kuai Yue: "Xenodu, why did you insist on blocking the war horse from exchanging food before?" ”

After hearing this, Kuai Yue immediately replied: "Lord, Wang Zhenxi Xiankexi Liang Ma Teng and Han Sui, now he has the land of Guanzhong, his territory is about the same as that of the pre-Qin, and the minister just blocked it because once the land of Guanzhong is restored, Wang Zhenxi is likely to covet the land of Nanyang, after all, Nanyang is a stone's throw away from Hanzhong and Guanzhong." ”

Hearing this, Liu Biao immediately replied: "I'm too worried, Wang Zhenxi is also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and even if Wang Zhenxi occupies Yongliang and Hanzhong, it is just a coincidence, and the current situation with the pre-Qin is a world of difference." ”

"That's what the lord said!"

"Alright, let's all disperse!"

After receiving Liu Biao's order, the Jingzhou ministers began to retreat one after another.
