What Zhuge Liang was referring to was naturally that Cao Cao and the pottery merchants sent the women of all ethnic groups to Liu Xie's palace in order to win the identity of a relative.

In the eyes of outsiders, this move may be just a small move by the two princes to flatter the Son of Heaven.

But how can a resourceful person, a person in the bureau, not know the mystery?

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking to Xun You, he suddenly turned to Cao Cao and said deeply: "Sikong dedicated his three daughters to the Son of Heaven, either in order to win the identity of a relative and be able to fight against Yuan Shao, or Sikong is just a villain who flatters and uses women to take the position...... With the talent of Sikong, he must not do such a vulgar thing, right? ”

Zhuge Liang's words were sharp, but under his words, he blocked the retreat of Xun You and Cao Cao's refutation.

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this.

Xun You also sighed: "Young man, not bad. ”

Cheng Yu stood up and said to Zhuge Liang: "Boy, what you said is true, now Yuan Shao is indeed the enemy of you and me!" Cheng admitted the matter! ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this.

This old guy spoke straightforwardly, but his tone was serious, and he didn't know what kind of routine he was playing.

Zhuge Liang cautiously stroked Cheng Yu and said, "However, what this gentleman said is very ......."

Cheng Yu stretched out his hand and directly blocked Zhuge Liang's words, and said: "Having said that, after all, it was you Xuzhou who first asked for an alliance, and you still need to take some of this benefit, right?" ”

Zhuge Liang suddenly realized.

This old man is also not good!

He asked Cheng Yu: "Dare to ask sir, according to what do you think, what benefits should I use in Xuzhou to invite Sikong to mobilize troops?" ”

Cheng Yu sneered and said, "At least a few counties have to be taken out." ”

Before Zhuge Liang could say anything against it, Lu Su stood up with a smile.

"How many counties? Say! Not to mention a few county seats, why is it difficult to let one county be given to Cao Sikong? ”

Cheng Yu was stunned when he heard this.

Does this messenger Lu Su have a problem with his head?

Let a county come out, and the potter will not have to split him alive!

Liu Yeyi, who was standing on the side, raised his eyebrows and said, "Dare to ask which county Taifu Tao wants to let come out?" ”

Lu Su said slowly: "Langya Kingdom and your army's Taishan County are close to each other, Taifu wants to give up the entire Langya Kingdom to show his sincerity, I don't know what Cao Sikong thinks?" ”

Dong Zhao on the side stood up and said dissatisfiedly: "Lu Jun's words are inevitably not very popular, Langya Country is connected to Qingzhou in the north, if our army is stationed there, wouldn't it block Yuan Shao's edge for you Xuzhou?" Who can do such a loss-making transaction? The alliance needs to be sincere! ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "The county has come out, is it possible that you still have to let the princes pick the place?" Where is the sincerity of the princes? Otherwise, I'll just give Ming Taifu and give Pengcheng to Sikong! ”

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This thing is feasible!" ”

Lu Su said with a straight face: "Then dare to ask Sikong, if Sikong allies with others the next day, and the other party asks you to wait for Xuchang to be ceded, do you let it or not?" We sincerely come to ask for the alliance, if we agree, we will allow it, and if we don't, we will not allow it, so why do we have to do this to make things difficult for us? There is no bearing in life! ”

Everyone looked at Lu Su with a smile on his face, thinking that he was a good man, but he thought that he was so tricky, compared to Zhuge Liang, it can be said that he is not reckless.

Cao Cao sighed in his heart: Zhuge Liang, Lu Su...... When did the potter have such two people under his command? I don't know what his talent is, but with this mouth and guts, it is not comparable to ordinary people, but the kid surnamed Tao is a winner.

Most of the people in the audience had already spoken, but Jia Xu lowered his head and did not speak.

Zhuge Liang's gaze fell on Jia Xu unconsciously.

Although this fifty-year-old man has never spoken, Zhuge Liang can see and feel that he is by no means an ordinary person.

Probably the hardest person to do is him.

Jia Xu also seemed to notice Zhuge Liang's gaze, and slowly raised his head, and the eyes of the two collided slightly in the air.

Cao Cao also followed Zhuge Liang's gaze to Jia Xu and said, "Wenhe, what is your opinion?" ”

Jia Xu's face remained unchanged, and he still looked like he didn't care about himself, and said, "Since you want to be an ally, then please borrow some grain, and then borrow some grain." ”

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up.

The Central Plains has been fighting the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and it has been changed repeatedly, and the fields have been destroyed very barren.

The southeast has been rich in recent years, especially for grain production and harvest, like divine help, and grain and grass have always been a big problem for Cao Cao to solve.

It's a good time to take advantage of this opportunity to solve it.

Lu Su and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other worriedly.

This old man, who has been quiet all along, is really better than the others.

In a word!

Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction, and just wanted to ask questions to the two messengers, when suddenly he seemed to think of something.

He beckoned the guards to fetch a pen and inkstone, and then began to write on a scroll of slips, then rolled it in a circle, sealed it, and handed it to Lu Su.

"Take this back and hand it to the potter, tell him that there are three requirements from Cao, I will not be difficult for him, if he can meet Cao and deal with Yuan Shao, I will definitely help, if not, everyone will have their own destiny."

Lu Su held the scroll and felt heavy.

……

The two envoys returned to Pengcheng and recounted the matter of the envoy to the potters.

The potter took the scroll that Cao Cao had written for him, and saw that it really listed three requirements.

The first is grain, grass and rice seeds, and the second is that we should send people to the south of the Yangtze River to observe and learn from reclamation.

These two points are in some ways the behavior of the enemy, but the potter thought about it and agreed.

First of all, even if he didn't give Cao Cao these things, Cao Cao would get them sooner or later through secret means.

There are so many rice seeds in the south of the Yangtze River, why can't you get a car and a half carload back?

The technology is simpler, and it is also feasible to send people to hijack a few local old farmers and experts, but it will be more complicated.

In this era, there is no such strict technical secrecy, and the potters want to guard against it, but it is unlikely.

Since he understood that these technologies would be stolen by Cao Cao sooner or later, he simply pushed the boat to Cao Cao as a personal favor, but he had to ask him to send troops before he cashed it out to him, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and no one is considered to be a loss.

But the third thing was something that the potter didn't expect.

But seeing that on the slip, Cao Cao wrote four bright and bright characters.

"I want the second bridge."

Zhuge Liang touched his chin, stood beside the potter, and said, "Teacher, what is the second bridge?" ”

The potter smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a thing, it's two people." ”

"Two people? Could it be that we are the genius of Xuzhou? ”

The potter shook his head and sighed: "It's not a genius in the world, but two women, and these two people are not in Xuzhou, they should be in Jiangnan." ”

"Two women?"

Zhuge Liang is obviously still a novice in this regard, and said directly: "What does Cao Cao want two women to do?" ”

The potter glanced at Zhuge Liang with sadness.

I can't even think of such a simple truth, it seems that this apprentice of mine is somewhat biased in knowledge...... The old guy wants these two people, of course, to:

"ri" the potter said heavily.

Zhuge Liang was even more confused when he heard it.

The pottery merchant didn't talk nonsense with him, and said, "Kong Ming, you quickly go and help me inform Guo Jia, and ask him to send a spy from the school office to help him inquire about where Qiao Xuan's current seclusion is." ”

Zhuge Liang let out an "oh" as if he didn't understand, and then got busy doing things.

Before he could take two steps, he heard the potter suddenly say again: "There is one more thing, starting tomorrow, in your schoolwork, the teacher will add a biology class to you...... I don't even know what Cao Cao wants the two women to do, you really ...... Rotten wood cannot be carved! ”
