Cai Xun only said before what he could provide to the Sun and Liu coalition forces, what benefits he would give them, and how much they would help them, but he didn't say what he wanted. However, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Zhou Yu all know that if Cai Xun is not asking for anything at all, who can believe this. So Zhou Yu's meaning is very simple, that is, let his lord ask Cai Xun what he wants, as long as it is about the same, then agree.

But in any case, in the end, the two sides will definitely have to negotiate for a while, after all, this matter belongs to "asking for a price all over the sky, and paying back the money on the spot", so the two sides must not talk about the rules of the country. But at this time, it has not yet reached that point, and now it is only a preliminary negotiation, and at a deeper level, it will have to wait for a while.

And Cai Xun listened to what Sun Ce heard at this time, and he said in his heart, good question, aren't you just waiting for you to ask.

Of course, he also knew that Sun Ce had just looked at Zhou Yu before he asked this. So isn't this simple, it was Zhou Yu who told him and made him so. As for not speaking, who said that if you don't speak, the other party must not know what it means? How can there be this truth?

At this time, Cai Xun said to the three of them, "General Sun, Uncle Liu Huang, and Mr. Gongjin, don't hide it from a few people, this is indeed a ......."

Then, Cai Xun said his thoughts, which was nothing more than what he wanted, of course. It's definitely a lot, but it's not a lot. After all, no one can be too greedy, let alone Cai Xun. As the head of the family, of course he still understands this truth.

Looking at Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande before, they were not very greedy, so Cai Xun was even less greedy. The so-called "people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants", after all, people still can't be too greedy, this is not shallow.

And after Sun Ce and Liu Bei listened to what Cai Xun said, the two of them also nodded secretly in their hearts. To say that Cai Xun said that. It's nothing, but I definitely have to bargain with him, after all, it's all the rules of the rivers and lakes. So you have to follow the routine isn't it-

So Sun Ce smiled at Cai Xun and said, "Master Cai, what you said, we are all under it." I don't think so. Let Gongjin talk to you. I don't know how it is? ”

When Cai Xun heard this, his heart said, you, Sun Bofu, handed over the negotiation to Zhou Yu. But although he admires Zhou Yu very much, but in this matter, he Zhou Yu may not be able to let himself do anything.

Cai Xun is not arrogant, but he has such self-confidence. Zhou Yu is powerful, yes, he has to admit this, isn't it. People are indeed strong enough. But Cai Xun thinks that in such a matter. He is not necessarily inferior to him Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, and he has to say that he has studied this Tao quite well, so he will definitely not suffer any big losses in negotiations.

So he said to Sun Ce and Liu Bei at this time, "Since this is the case, then a qiē will be based on General Sun!" ”

Sun Ce nodded, indicating that he was satisfied. People, those who know the current affairs will not be annoying after all-

Zhou Yu said to Cai Xun with a smile at this time, "Master Cai, please!" ”

Cai Xun also smiled, "Mr. Gongjin, please!" ”

Then the two of them unfolded, it can be said that it was nothing more than a verbal sword, of course, it was not lobbying but just negotiating. But bargaining, the two fought fiercely. Don't look at Cai Xun used to be a military general, but now that he has become the head of the family, his kung fu is even more powerful.

As for Zhou Yu, do you need to say it, not only is he a good calculator, but he has a strong command ability in water warfare, but he is even more proficient in his kung fu. And in terms of bargaining, it can be said that compared to Cai Xun, it is definitely "more than enough".

Don't look at Cai Xun who thinks he is okay, yes, he has a brush, but in front of Zhou Yu, he has to admit that he is indeed good enough, and he deserves to be a world-famous figure-

In the end, the two finally got together, in fact, in this matter, whether it is Cai Xun or Zhou Yu, it can be said that both of them have a bottom line. At least it doesn't exceed this bottom line, then there is no problem with a qiē, just like now. But if it is really superb, then in the end, it will definitely be difficult to talk, or even break up unhappily. Of course, if one party can compromise, it will also be able to promote cooperation in the end, but in that case, it will still be much worse than the current situation.

Both sides can definitely be said to be happy, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei have been listening to each other, but they have to say that they still admire the two people who negotiated. In the end, both parties agreed, which is better than anything else, and of course both parties will not agree to a cooperation that can bring benefits to both parties. It's just that they all want to strive for greater and more interests for themselves, and now that Sun Ce and Liu Bei have negotiated between the two, they can be regarded as letting go of one thing in their hearts.

At this time, it was Sun Ce, the principal, who spoke, "Master Cai, I hope that the cooperation between you and me will be smooth and bring benefits to both you and me!" ”

Cai Xun smiled, "Naturally, I hope so!" ”——

In the end, Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Zhou Yu chatted with Cai Xun for a few words, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei arranged a banquet to entertain Cai Xun. After all, although Cai Xun did not come from afar, he was definitely a guest. And now that the two sides are still cooperating, Sun Ce and Liu Bei are bound to set up a banquet to invite him. Otherwise, I guess everyone in the world will have to say it. Both of them were reluctant to have a dinner party.

But Sun Ce and Liu Bei are both very happy, this is true, after all, Cai Xun has given him so many benefits, can they not be happy. Although this is not a "pie in the sky", it is indeed a good thing, a great thing. Even if Cai Xun asked for something, Sun Ce and Liu Bei still thought so. It's a good deal, it's worth it, it's really worth it.

But before the feast. Sun Ce and Liu Bei both summoned all their subordinates, and then introduced Cai Xun one by one.

After all, they are already cooperating now, so this must be to familiarize each other's people and let them see each other. Let's get familiar with it.

After knowing that each other has greeted each other. Only then did Sun Ce and Liu Bei feast Cai Xun. At this point, the Cai family in Jingzhou and the Sun Liu coalition army are united together and have launched cooperation between the two sides-

But I don't know if it's because Cai Xun wants to keep a low profile, or if Sun Ce and Liu Bei have any ideas, anyway, although the two sides are cooperative, they haven't said this in front of the world, so at this time, there are really not many people who really know that the Cai family and Sun Liu are working together. Not much.

At the last feast, everyone ate to the delight of the guests and hosts. Cai Xun drank a lot of wine because he had achieved his goal, and it was rare to have such a mood and drink so much. As for Sun Ce and Liu Bei, the two who are the lords, they naturally restrained a lot, and they didn't drink too much wine.

When the banquet was finally withdrawn, Cai Xun was about to collapse, but he has always supported him, and he is the one who drinks the most. But fortunately, he drank well, and the people didn't want to pour him down, so he escaped. But that's it, but I've drunk too much and I'm crumbling.

But it's already like this, Cai Xun still insisted on saying goodbye and going back, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei didn't stop him-

After all, Cai Xun is the head of the family, and since he wants to go back, it is better to let him go back to the Cai family as soon as possible.

So the two of them didn't stop him, so they let him go back, but Sun Ce and Liu Bei sent him outside the mansion.

Before leaving, Cai Xun said to Sun Ce and Liu Bei, "Sun, General Sun, Liu, Uncle Huang, let, we, Hou Gui and Xi (there will be a period later), don't, don't ......"

Cai Xun meant that, don't give it away, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei glanced at each other, and both of them smiled bitterly. But in the end, he asked the two soldiers to send Cai Xun back. Cai Xun came by himself, and Sun Ce and Liu Bei didn't go to the Cai family, so they directly asked the two soldiers to send him back.

And the two of them also know very well in their hearts that after Cai Xun returns home, he will definitely have to fall asleep, and then he may not be able to wake up tomorrow, this is a hangover. But these are not what the two of them have to think about, and now they both know that they have to think about what to do next-

After the two sent Cai Xun away and returned to the living room, Sun Ce and Liu Bei left only Zhou Yu and Xu Shu, as well as Liu Ba, and then the others were sent away by both of them.

These people were all relatively drunk, so of course they were quite sober. As for Zhou Yu and the three of them, of course, they knew why their lord let them stay, so they were also waiting for their lord to speak.

Sure enough, Sun Ce spoke first, "Now that our army is cooperating with the Cai family, it can be said that there are more advantages and fewer disadvantages for our army." However, our army has now taken Xiangyang, but we don't know what to do next, what do you think should be? ”

The first to speak was Zhou Yu, he naturally knew what his lord meant, so he didn't support his lord, who would support him, so he said, "Lord, now that the war in Xiangyang is over, our army can enter Jiangxia again and seize the entire territory of Jiangxia!" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he said in his heart that Wuling County was under the ravages of Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army at this time, why can't you Zhou Gongjin think about Wuling-

But Liu Bei knows very well that Zhou Yu can't be blamed for this. After all, if he was his Zhou Gongjin. You have to do the same yourself. How to say that Zhou Yu is his Sun Bofu's subordinate, but not his own Liu Xuande's subordinate. So if you don't favor your lord's subordinates, are you still a qualified subordinate?

Sun Ce listened. The heart said, the one who knows me is also Gong Jin! Of course, he wouldn't really want to go to Jiangxia, after all, he didn't think that the time was ripe at this time. To be honest, instead of dealing with such a powerful Liangzhou army, in Sun Ce's opinion, it is better to go to the weaker Yanzhou army. Of course, this one is weaker. It is indeed compared to the Liangzhou Army, Sun Ce thinks. 、

In fact, of course, he would not think that the Yanzhou army was weak. It can be said that Sun Ce still attaches great importance to it and will not underestimate the enemy at all.

Sun Ce felt that his advantage now was that there were more soldiers, but the Yanzhou Army had fewer soldiers. Therefore, it is natural that you have the power to fight. And now Cao Cao is attacking in Wuling. It can be said that it is the best opportunity for oneself, maybe under the cooperation of the inside and the outside, you can break the Yanzhou Army at once, this does not mean that it must not happen-

But if you want Sun Ce to just say it directly, and lead the troops to Wuling, then it won't be cheap in the end Liu Bei Liu Xuande? This is Sun Ce's idea, after all, today's Wuling is his Liu Xuande's territory. And going to Wuling, of course, is to help him deal with Cao Cao. So it's not cheap for him.

Although Sun Ce also knew that allies should be mutually beneficial, but if he wanted to go to Wuling like this, he was really a little unwilling. So when Zhou Yu said this, he also fell into his arms. Or should it be said that Zhou Yu knew what his lord thought, so he said so.

As for his father-in-law's thoughts, of course Zhou Yu also knows something. At least he understands that his lord wants to go to Wuling, but he is not too willing to cheapen Liu Xuande, so if he wants his lord to go, then Liu Xuande does not come up with enough benefits, then his lord will definitely not give in lightly. As for how he, Liu Xuande, wants to impress his lord, then it depends on what he can come up with-

In fact, Zhou Yu knows very well in his heart that now that he is in Xiangyang, he is already very uncomfortable and unhappy in his father-in-law's heart. To say that there is no jealousy at all, Zhou Yu does not believe it. However, who let his lord already agree to Liu Bei about this, so it is impossible to go back on his words and not believe it.

So in the matter of Wuling, he will definitely not be like Xiangyang, after all, this time he is going to deal with all the Yanzhou troops in Jingzhou, so if Liu Xuande does not take out enough benefits, his lord will definitely not compromise and go to Wuling lightly. And what kind of character his lord is, don't you know yet?

At this time, I heard Sun Ce nod and say, "Gongjin's words are very true, so I think it's good!" ”

Then he looked at Liu Bei, "I don't know what Xuande Gong thinks?" ”

Liu Beixin said, over, this is here again, he smiled, and then looked at Xu Shu, Xu Shu understood, and said at this time: "General Sun, come down and see, at this time, our army is marching into Wuling, it is the best policy!" ”——

Sun Ce looked at Xu Shu, and then said, "Isn't it because Cao Mengde is leading the Yanzhou army in Wuling now, so Yuan Zhi will say so, right?" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, his face was slightly red, but he immediately changed back, only to hear him say: "Definitely! However, he did not hide it from the general, and he did have this meaning in the next. However, in the next opinion, our army is still entering Wuling at this time! Because, nowadays, ......"

Then, Xu Shu told Sun Ce what he thought, and he had to admit that what Xu Shu thought still made some sense, at least Sun Ce admitted that it made sense.

Xu Shu said simply, that is, if you go to Jiangxia, you may not be able to defeat the Liangzhou army. But if you want to go to Wuling, you may not necessarily lose to the Yanzhou army. At least against the Yanzhou army, the chances of victory are greater than those against the Liangzhou army, and they are much greater-

Of course, Sun Ce is a person, and before his goal is achieved, he will definitely not change his mind lightly.

So although he also admitted that Xu Shu's words made sense, and he didn't think about it, he still couldn't just agree to it at this time, otherwise he wouldn't have too many benefits.

So he said, "Yuan Zhizhi's words do have a certain amount of truth, but they haven't moved me yet, hehe!" ”

When Xu Shu heard this, he said in his heart, it's not that I, Xu Yuanzhi, failed to move your Sun Bofu, but that my lord hasn't come up with the benefits of making your Sun Bofu tempted, so that's why it's like this, don't you know about me? (To be continued......)
