Chapter 607: Negotiation

Hearing what Gongsun Chan said, Tian Yu was silent. Gongsun Chan is still Gongsun Chan, and the hatred and contempt for foreign races engraved in his bones can never be changed.

"What about the state of Chu?"

"There is no need to mention this again. I am the son of Dayan, can I look up to others? Gongsun Chan replied.

The only two roads were rejected by Gongsun Zhan, Tian Yu sighed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Gou Jian has the ambition to lie down and taste the courage, so that he can swallow Wu with three thousand Yuejia." If you can endure humiliation and burden, you are a big husband, can't Your Majesty endure this time? ”

"I haven't completely failed, so why endure?" Gongsun Chan shouted angrily: "I will never compromise, even if I am defeated and die, I will also die in Youzhou." ”

Tian Yu looked at Gongsun Zhan, who had a resolute attitude, although he had already guessed that this would be the result, he was still disheartened.

After a while, the spies who had gone to the vicinity of the boundary bridge to listen to the information returned. And Gan Ning also set fire to the boundary bridge, and Lu Xun came with a thousand foot soldiers with the rescued Youzhou army.

Looking at the thousands of grizzled soldiers, as well as the soldiers led by Ganning Lu Xun behind them, Gongsun Zhan's gaze was extremely complicated. After pacifying and reorganizing these soldiers, Gongsun Chan met with Gan Ning and Lu Xun.

"Meet His Majesty Emperor Dayan!" Gan Ning and Lu Xun bowed their hands to Dao.

"Excuse me, thank you two for saving my soldiers." Gongsun Chan said inexplicably.

"On the orders of Your Majesty, this is just a matter within my share, Your Majesty Emperor Yan will thank me if you want to thank Your Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu." Lu Xun said modestly.

"Emperor Chu's love for help, I remember it in my heart."

Gongsun Chan stopped speaking after saying this, and the scene was deadlocked.

Gan Ning and Lu Xun glanced at each other, and finally Gan Ning licked his face and said directly: "In addition, my Majesty the Great Chu Emperor also hopes to be able to take back the White Horse Yicong this time according to the agreement with His Majesty the Yan Emperor." ”

"Our army has just been defeated, and your envoy can't wait to make such a request, isn't it a bit excessive?" Tian Yu, who was on the side, frowned and said in a deep voice.

"I also hope that His Majesty Emperor Yan will be angry. I am so anxious because Yuan Shao's army has already begun to prepare to build a bridge, and more than 200,000 troops are about to invade Yan Kingdom in the north. Bai Ma Yi has been seriously damaged from now on, and I am afraid that it will be damaged again, so I ask His Majesty Emperor Yan for your understanding. Lu Xun bowed down and hurriedly said.

"In addition, I am good friends with your country. In the event of this great change, His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu is willing to give the general 200,000 stone of grain to show his friendship. Gan Ning then said.

In this case, Gan Ning almost spread out and let Gongsun Chan open the conditions.

When Gongsun Zhan heard this, his face instantly turned a little ugly, when did Bai Ma Yicong become a bargaining chip in their transaction.

Looking at Gongsun Zhan's face, Gan Ning and Lu Xun suddenly understood in their hearts, sure enough, Gongsun Zhan didn't plan to hand over Bai Ma Yi easily.

"General Gan, my Dayan is now an eventful time, but I don't know if your country can help one or two more, my lord is grateful to my heart." In this case, Gongsun Zhan, who has an upright temperament, is reluctant to say more, so Tian Yu can only speak on his behalf.

"Naturally, we are allies, so how can we not help? Between allies, it is necessary to help each other and trust each other. Gan Ning said pointedly.

If it is faced with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who have a thick black level, with Gan Ning's character, it is estimated that he will directly stand up and talk about the conditions directly. But in the face of Gongsun Zhan, in line with the idea of focusing on the overall situation, Gan Ning had to hold back the fire and consider his words.

Gongsun Zhan values his face the most, his temperament is unruly, and he can't say too much, otherwise this product can't help but turn his face, and there is no need to talk about it at all. In this case, Yuan Shu's side has a bad temper like Gongsun Zhan, and although Gan Ning is aggrieved, he still has to take it.

Tian Yu was secretly happy in his heart at this time, and Gongsun Zhan's stubborn temper was not without benefits. In the face of a person who is not even afraid of death and is extremely tough, the other party will directly fall behind in momentum when negotiating.

"Now in the face of the attack of Yuan Shao's army of more than 200,000 troops, my lord needs to recruit about 100,000 soldiers, but there is still a shortage of most of the food, I don't know if your country can..."

"You..." Gan Ning almost stood up with anger on his face when he heard this, but was directly pulled by Lu Xun on the side.

Then Lu Xun replied with a smile: "Your envoy is joking, I am in the land of the three states of Dachu, and I am extremely short of money and food, how can I have so much spare money and food." How about I make my own decision and risk being punished by Your Majesty to give you another half a year's worth of food for 10,000 soldiers of your country? ”

"Hehe, your envoy is too modest, who doesn't know that Da Chu is rich? The food and salary of tens of thousands of people is probably not in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor Chu at all. Tian Yu obviously wouldn't let Lu Xun go so easily.

"I'm rich, but my territory is also vast! Money and food are really stretched, I'm afraid I will disappoint Emperor Yan. Lu Xun said softly.

"Okay then, then my Dayan can only recruit tens of thousands of soldiers." Tian Yu sighed lightly and said.

"What about the White Horse?"

"In the face of Yuan Benchu's attack, our army is really weak, and even the recruits who defend the city can't recruit much. Under such circumstances, I am afraid that my lord will not be able to hand over the White Horse Righteous Servant to your country for the time being. Please forgive me! Tian Yu said unceremoniously.

"At the beginning, my Majesty the Great Chu Emperor made an agreement with His Majesty the Yan Emperor, so I'm afraid it's not appropriate to delay it like this. I heard that His Majesty Emperor Yan was a hero, but he never thought about it..."Lu Xun said with disappointment on his face.

When Gongsun Chan heard this, he was instantly embarrassed. Speaking from his heart, he was unwilling to hand over Bai Ma Yicong at this time, but the words he once said were like water spilled out. And Yuan Shu had already paid the "deposit", so he was embarrassed to refuse even if he wanted to.

"At this time and at that time, the situation is forced! What's more, my lord and the Emperor of Chu did not agree too much on when to deliver the White Horse Yicong, so why delay? Tian Yu said.

"Then I wonder when His Majesty Emperor Yan intends to complete the agreement? Can you give me a moment? It would be a little wrong for my Lord to wait like this. ”

"It's hard to say. From now on, the remnants of my lord Bai Ma Yi are only five hundred, which is not enough to distribute to your country, and Yuan Shao is pressing forward step by step, and my lord cannot give a positive answer for the time being. But rest assured, my lord will not break the contract. Tian Yu didn't mean to compromise at all, and said directly.

In the face of such a scoundrel as Tian Yu, Lu Xun, who was still young despite his outstanding ability, was indignant.

Taking a deep breath and forcibly suppressing the idea of rushing up directly to stab this goods, Lu Xun looked at Tian Yu with resolute eyes, and said in a deep voice: "My Great Chu and your country are sincere friends, and I also hope that His Majesty Emperor Yan can treat each other with sincerity." I would like to explain to my lord the current situation of His Majesty Emperor Yan, and strive for a maximum of 30,000 soldiers and half a year's salary. But I also ask His Majesty Emperor Yan to give a response, so that he can reply to my lord. ”

From Lu Xun's gaze, everyone could see that this was already his final bottom line, and Tian Yu began to hesitate in his heart.
