Chapter 783: Yuan Shu compromised and sent grain and grass

Zhao Hui needed to get grain and grass from Jiaozhou.

Shixie needs weapons and armor, and the two sides are one south and one north, and there is no conflict of interest.

It is entirely possible to work together for mutual benefit.

The weapons and armor in Zhao Hui's hand are still enough.

There are blacksmiths in his hands captured from Yuan Jun before, and the weapons and armor made by him will be a little better than those of other princes.

Although Jiaozhou is poor, Shi Xie has been in Jiaozhou for many years, and there is nothing else here, but there is too much grain and grass.

In his granary, every year there is grain that is moldy and then dumped.

Even if they saw rats stealing food, they didn't bother with it.

In the past, Jiaozhou, as a place for criminals, could only work as coolies here.

And a year's income will be handed over to the imperial court, and the people here are miserable.

But now, Shi Xie no longer handed over money to the imperial court.

However, there are still many sinners in Jiaozhou, they are almost equal to slaves, even if they work day and night, they just keep themselves from starving to death.

All the wealth was almost gathered in the hands of Shixie and those gentry in Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou is poor, and there is no prosperity in the Central Plains, so let them stay in Jiaozhou, which is these wealth.

If they didn't even have money, they would have returned to the Central Plains a long time ago, and no one wanted to stay here.

Wei Shuang brought swords, spears, and bows and crossbows this time, which were not inferior, but first-class and first-class weapons.

The soldiers in Zhao Hui's army also used weapons of the same quality.

A long knife for ten stone of grain.

This is the ratio set by Wei Shuang and Shi Xie.

In the Central Plains, a long knife, at most two stones of grain and grass, even if Zhao Hui's weapons are of good quality, they will definitely not exceed five stones.

But in Jiaozhou, the most valuable thing now is food.

Whether it is Shixie or other wealthy gentry families, the most is food.

Wei Shuang traded not only Shixie, but also other wealthy families in Jiaozhou.

However, Shixie is the big head, and those gentry only exchange some weapons as protection.

There was chaos on the Jiaozhou side, and those slaves would rebel from time to time.

There are also some wild people hiding in the mountains and forests, and they will also come out to loot from time to time.

If the gentry want to protect their property, they must have enough guards in their hands.

Although they themselves live in the city, they are safe and sound.

But the manor fields outside the city also need to be protected, and the manor is looted every year.

Wei Shuang controls a vast business empire, backed by Zhao Hui, the most powerful prince of the day.

Even Yuan Shu, who has now become the emperor, is not as good as Zhao Hui in terms of strength.

Therefore, when Wei Shuang faced Shi Xie, the big man of one side and the emperor of Jiaozhou, he had nothing to fear in his heart.

He didn't talk about anything else with Shixie, only about business.

Regardless of whether Shi Xie was holding these weapons and armor, whether he wanted to protect himself or wanted to go north, Wei Shuang didn't ask a word.

He's just a businessman.

For things other than business, if there is a need, Zhao Hui will send someone else.

Wei Shuang never interfered in Zhao Hui's other affairs.

However, after having contact with Jiaozhou, Wei Shuang knew that there was still a vast land south of Jiaozhou, and there was more grain there.

But the mountains are difficult to walk, and the people there are more lazy and lazy, and although there is fertile land, there is no one to cultivate it.

After a month in Jiaozhou, Wei Shuang returned with three large ships full of grain.

On the Xuzhou side, Yang Hong sent an envoy to Xuzhou, and his attitude was completely different from Han Yin's.

Yang Hong is really not afraid of death.

When he faced Yuan Shu, he dared to argue with reason.

Now facing Lu Bu, he also has no concessions.

With one bite, he could only give Lu Bu 100,000 stones of grain and grass.

But Lu Bu never agreed.

Lu Bu also took a bite of 300,000 yuan.

Although Yang Hong was loyal to Yuan Shu, and in the face of Lu Bu's pressure, he did not dare to speak.

But his eloquence is not good, and he repeats those words over and over every day, anyway, if he says that Yuan Shu can only provide 100,000 stones of grain and grass.

There was no way to convince Lu Bu at all.

failed to convince Lu Bu that Yang Hong was also in Xuzhou and had no intention of going back.

If it was Han Yin or Yan Xiang, he would have given up going back a long time ago.

Yang Hong didn't want to return in vain, but Shouchun's Yuan Shu sent someone to urge Yang Hong to go back.

"The Zhong family said that if it doesn't work, go back first."

Yuan Shu didn't want Yang Hong to stay in Xuzhou for too long.

Yang Hong did not complete the task and did not want to go back.

"You go back and tell the Zhong family, I will definitely be able to convince Lu Bu."

Yang Hong has a tendon, he likes to persuade others, but others can't persuade him.

He used to persuade Yuan Shu to do the same, if it wasn't for Yuan Shu to let him take him away, Yang Hong would always stand in front of Yuan Shu.

The people who came had no choice but to go back to Yuan Shu to return to his life.

It's just that after he went back, Yuan Shu immediately sent another team of people to invite Yang Hong back, even if he tied Yang Hong, he would tie Yang Hong back.

But Lu Bu made a move.

Lu Bu didn't want to let Yang Hong go back.

The others under Yuan Shu's account did not dare to disobey Yuan Shu's decision. Only Yang Hong dared to contradict Yuan Shu.

Without Yang Hong's Yuan Shu, many things will not be seen clearly.

Yang Hong came to Xuzhou, no matter whether Yang Hong wanted it or not, Lu Bu would not let him go back.

Not to mention, Yuan Shu is now sending someone to tie up Yang Hong, and Yang Hong himself has no intention of going back.

Lu Bu relaxed a little and changed 300,000 to 280,000, which made Yang Hong see hope.

thought he would definitely be able to convince Lu Bu.

"You go back and tell the Zhong family, I have already said that Lu Bu will be reduced by 20,000, as long as I give me a little more time, I can convince Lu Bu at all."

The people who came had no choice but to go back.

They wanted to tie Yang Hong up, but Lu Bu's people didn't just watch it.

Yang Hong is now focused on Lu Bu, thinking about how to move Lu Bu.

But he forgot to think about time.

Even if he could convince Lu Bu, what was the use of spending a year.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei had already fought to Shouchun, and at that time, even if it was 100,000 stone grain and grass, Yuan Shu couldn't take it out.

Yuan Shu sent people to Xuzhou for the third time, and this time there was also the general Zhang Xun.

But Xuzhou is now Lu Bu's territory, and even if Zhang Xun came, he still couldn't take Yang Hong away.

However, Zhang Xun's arrival finally made Yang Hong wake up.

But even if Yang Hong wanted to go back now, Lu Bu didn't agree.

Lu Bu directly detained Yang Hong.

"Zhang Cheqi, you go back and tell the Zhong family that I need 300,000 stone of grain and grass, and as soon as the grain and grass arrive, I will immediately send troops to attack Cao Cao."

Lu Bu personally sent Zhang Xun out of Xiapi City.

Zhang Xun took Lu Bu's words and returned to Shouchun to meet Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu scolded Lu Bu.

But in the end he bowed his head.

Already surrounded by enemies on three sides, Yuan Shu did not dare to lose Lu Bu as an ally again.

Even though Lu Bu has a great appetite, it is difficult to satisfy.

If you want the tiger not to kill the master, you can only feed the tiger.

"Lu Bu, I want to see if you have the life to take this grain and grass."

300,000 stone of grain and grass, also thousands of ox carts and carriages, heading towards Xuzhou.
