Guo Tu had a sad face, and began to add fuel to Yuan Shao's description of his trip to Yangzhou.

said how Liu Zheng neglected him, did not meet him for several days, and then how he asked for a sky-high price, saying that 200,000 stone grain and grass should be exchanged for 10,000 war horses, otherwise there is no need to talk.

He also said that Liu Zheng refused his reward, and did not mention Liu Zheng's promise to fight against the imperial court together.

Originally, this incident was Guo Tu's personal experience, but when he added fuel and vinegar, he interpreted it very realistically, which made Yuan Shao, a small-minded person, have a seizure on the spot.

Syllable!

Yuan Shao slapped his hand on the pillar on the side coldly, and a soft sound echoed in this hall, and the civil and military officials above the court immediately lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Everyone knew that Yuan Shao was angry.

"How can this be true? Outrageous! Liu Zhengxiao'er, deceiving people too much! ”

Yuan Shao looked down on Liu Zheng, after all, Liu Zheng and his Yuan Shao's identity are tens of millions of miles apart, he Yuan Shao was born in the third famous family, and now he is a good general, although he is only a general by himself, but he also occupies half of the world.

How can you say that he is also a nobleman among nobles, and what is Liu Zheng? A person from the Yellow Turban Remnant Party can occupy Jiaozhou and Yangzhou, which is already shit luck, and Yuan Shao can put Liu Zheng on the same level as himself, which is already very face-saving for Liu Zheng.

Now Liu Zheng actually looks down on him so much, which makes Yuan Shao very annoyed.

If it weren't for the fact that he was fighting against Lu Zhi, Yuan Shao, who was so humiliated by Liu Zheng, would definitely not be able to help but lead his troops and horses, and go directly to Yangzhou to find Liu Zheng for an explanation.

When Liu Zheng led his soldiers and horses to Luoyang, Yuan Shao was a frequent visitor to the General's Mansion at that time, and was responsible for the defense of the Luoyang capital.

At that time, Yuan Shao and Liu Zheng also had some unpleasantness, but Yuan Shao didn't take it seriously, after all, Liu Zheng at that time, in Yuan Shao's eyes, was just a street rat, and he didn't take Liu Zheng in his eyes at all.

Although Liu Zheng's strength became stronger and stronger later, Yuan Shao never faced Liu Zheng's group of people.

It was not until now, after Liu Zheng sat in Yangzhou and had the grain and grass that Yuan Shao did not have, Yuan Shao remembered that there was such a number one person as Liu Zheng, originally Yuan Shao thought that in the name of his general, Liu Zheng would only kneel and lick him, but he never thought that Liu Zheng would not pay attention to him at all.

also humiliated his messenger, how could Yuan Shao swallow this breath.

However, while Yuan Shao was annoyed and angry, there were still a few smart people in this hall.

Tian Feng, frustration is one of them.

He was the first to stand up against Guo Tu's opinion.

As soon as he saw Yuan Shao's annoyed and angry appearance, he hurriedly spoke to dissuade Yuan Shao.

"Lord, there is something strange about Guo Tu's words."

Because of his talent, he is still very trusted in Yuan Shao's heart, at least the current Yuan Shao believes in Yuan Shao very much.

As soon as Yuan Shao heard that Frustrated Professor spoke, his angry appearance was suppressed a little, and after calming himself down, he looked at Frustrated Professor.

"Gonghe, what do you mean by that?"

Yuan Shao looked at the frustrated professor and asked with a frown.

"My lord, what Guo Tu said, there is a contradiction, if Liu Zheng refuses to accept our reward and humiliates the lord, then why do you have to make a deal with the lord and sell us grain?"

Frustration hit the nail on the head and went straight to the pain point.

As soon as this sentence was said, everyone present was immediately shocked, and they all nodded in agreement.

"That's right, isn't it a contradiction for Liu Zheng to do this and sell us food?"

Guo Tu was also taken aback, secretly scolding himself for lying imperfectly, and hurriedly came out to explain.

"Lord, that Liu Zheng sold us food, but the price was twice as high as usual, isn't this humiliating to us!"

Guo Tu said this, which can be regarded as the past, after all, the high-priced lion opened his mouth, and Liu Zheng did not lose, so he didn't want to talk about the deal with sincerity.

But he immediately asked again.

"At this time, there is a famine in various places, everyone is short of food, not to mention twice the price, even if it is three or four times, we will pay for it, then Liu Zheng can sell us food, we owe him a favor, how can it be regarded as humiliation, is it true that he wants to give it to us, so can we call it good?"

"As far as I know, Liu Zheng should have sent a caravan over this time, the accompanying fleet seems to have brought a lot of grain, if Liu Zheng is not sincere in doing business with us, how can he send grain and grass over first?"

If you think about it carefully, now Yuan Shao's shortage of food is almost to the limit, and food in other places can't be obtained at all, although the first two months are the time when the people harvest the crops, and in those two months, Yuan Shao sent soldiers and horses out to sweep, and he was able to grab some food.

But now, the people have been moved to the city by Lu Zhi, so Yuan Shao sent troops to rob and returned empty-handed, and if they couldn't get food, they could only kill horses to serve as military food.

If this is the case, it is better to sell the war horse to Liu Zheng, at least Liu Zheng is the only person who can send them food at this time.

Although the asking price is high, grain and grass are priceless at this stage.

"Gonghe said this, then Liu Zheng really doesn't seem to be so annoying, at least the food he sent us is enough for us to alleviate the food shortage crisis."

After Yuan Shao figured out this, he still didn't seem to be so angry, but what Guo Tu said about Liu Zheng's contempt for him, he still remembered it in his heart, after all, he didn't have a good impression of Liu Zheng.

With the temptation of these grains transported by Liu Zheng first, even if Yuan Shao had any complaints about Liu Zheng, for the sake of grain and grass, he could only admit it for the time being, and then agreed to Liu Zheng's proposal and used war horses to exchange food with him.

The 20,000 stone grain and grass that was transported over first greatly relieved Yuan Shao's pressure, and the envoy sent over at the same time was naturally Yuan Zhou, who agreed on some matters related to the alliance with Yuan Shao on behalf of Liu Zheng and Yuan Shao.

In Yuan Shao's place, Yuan Zhou got courtesy, after all, they are all Runan Yuan's family, don't look at Liu Zheng's face, look at the face of Yuan Zhou's ancestor Yuan Jing, Yuan Shao has to call him uncle.

The horses that Yuan Shao promised also began to be in full swing.

Just when Liu Zheng and Yuan Shao formed an alliance to negotiate and trade transactions, Ding Yuan of Bingzhou finally completed the army and began to lead the 30,000 troops of Bingzhou to gradually go south to Nanjun.
