Looking at Mao Sui with the old god in front of him, Li Yuan suddenly had a feeling of helplessness in his heart.

A feeling of hitting it with all your might, but hitting it completely into the empty space, and almost tripping over it.

This feeling will appear almost every time Li Yuan meets Mao Sui, and he will definitely not be absent.

Hell, is this guy really his own hit nemesis?

Thinking of this, Li Yuan's heart was a little surprised.

To be honest, Li Yuan actually believes in this thing, or there are few people who don't believe in fate in this era.

However, Li Yuan is also a resolute person, he took several deep breaths vigorously, tried his best to suppress his agitated mood, and then said to Mao Sui in a deep voice: "What kind of conditions do you want?" ”

Mao Sui smiled and said to Li Yuan in front of him: "Before that, I want to tell Huijijun another thing. ”

Li Yuan only felt that his scalp was a little numb, why did this guy start to be endless again?

But at this time, Li Yuan could only listen to Mao Sui in front of him and continue.

I saw that Mao Sui said unhurriedly: "According to the information I just got, the three major families have mobilized 15,000 family private troops, and it will take about three days or so to be able to rush to Yingdu to participate in the battle......"

Mao Sui deliberately shortened the time.

Before Mao Sui's words were finished, he was interrupted by Li Yuan's exclamation: "This is impossible!" ”

Mao Sui stopped and looked at Li Yuan with a smile: "Li Qing, if I remember correctly, Jiujiang and Huiji counties actually don't have any influence at all, otherwise the three major families wouldn't have given you the title of Huijijun so easily, right?" If you have no control over these counties, and you know nothing about what is happening in them, how can you conclude that this is impossible? ”

Li Yuan opened his mouth and said with some unconvincing: "You are completely unconvinced, if the three major families really have such a force, why did I have no news beforehand?" ”

To be honest, the current Li Yuan already has a psychological shadow for Mao Sui, and his first reaction after hearing Mao Sui's words is suspicion.

After all, I was deceived a lot.

Mao Sui snorted and said, "This is an army used by the three major families to save their lives, and it will never be used until the critical moment." If it weren't for the news of the arrival of the mission led by Yu Qing, the three major families would not have made up their minds to use this force. After speaking, he looked at Li Yuan with a mocking face.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses, and then became furious: "You mean that I was not taken into account by the three major families at all, so they did not dispatch key troops until this time?" ”

Mao Sui laughed and said, "Huijijun, is it time for you to think about this?" I think you should think carefully about where you should flee to save your life when this new force joins the battle in Yingdu in three days' time. ”

Mao Sui's words poured down like a basin of cold water, and Li Yuan's anger was immediately extinguished.

Even though he was very reluctant to admit it, Li Yuan still found that what Mao Sui said seemed to be really not wrong at all.

Before the arrival of the Zhao State delegation, in fact, the entire battle situation was already quite unfavorable for Li Yuan.

After all, Li Yuan's foundation is too shallow, although he has a righteous reputation, but in the face of the deep-rooted strength of the three major families, he has begun to be a little unable to support it.

The arrival of the Zhao delegation just gave Li Yuan a chance to breathe and a very timely life-saving straw.

If there is really no way, then Li Yuan will not be able to use the beauty trick.

Now, when the pressure of annihilation was really pressing on Li Yuan's head, he really couldn't support it.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, stared at Mao Sui and hissed, "So you told me the news, did you want to come and see my jokes?" ”

Mao Sui laughed and said, "Of course not, I just want to remind Hui Jijun that with your current situation, you don't have the capital to bargain with my Da Zhao at all, understand?" Only if my king is willing to support you, you will be able to have a glimmer of life, otherwise, then you will wait for the moment when the troops of the three major families will break through the palace and hang your head high outside the gate of Yingdu! ”

There was a deathly silence.

After a long time, Li Yuan finally spoke again with great difficulty.

"Alright, you can now tell you what you want."

Mao Sui and Yu Xin glanced at each other, smiled and gestured to Yu Xin, the meaning was very obvious, it was time for Yu Xin to open his mouth and continue to bargain with Li Yuan.

Yu Xin, who had completely let go of his heart, smiled gratefully at Mao Sui, and then said to Li Yuan, who was like a defeated rooster: "Huijijun, my meaning is very simple, as long as you will take Shouchun as the boundary and cede all the land east of Shouchun and north of the Yangtze River, including Shouchun, then I can give you 50,000 Chu captives and equip these captives with enough weapons." ”

"All the land east of Shouchun and north of the Yangtze River?" Li Yuan's eyes immediately turned red when he heard this.

The request put forward by Zhao Guo was actually to cut off the essence of Jiujiang County and Huiji County of Chu State.

You must know that although these two places are not very developed at this time, these two places are now the countries that have suffered the least wars in the Chu State.

Moreover, with the weakness of the Chu State over the years and the seizure of Nanyang County by the Qin State, Jiujiang County and Huiji County have actually become the largest source of troops in the Chu State.

If the essence of these two places is ceded out, then the war potential of the Chu State will be seriously damaged, which is definitely not good news for the Chu State.

So even though he had already made the decision to make more concessions to Zhao Guo, when he was really faced with this decision, Li Yuan still felt that it seemed to be a bit beyond his acceptance.

Mao Sui obviously saw this, and said nonchalantly beside him: "Huijijun, think about the 15,000 private troops of the three major families who are about to arrive in Yingdu, compared to life and death, is such land really that important?" ”

……

After a long time, Yu Xin and Mao Sui walked out of the palace gate side by side, looked at each other and smiled, with relaxed expressions on their faces.

Yu Xin looked at Mao Sui beside him, and said very sincerely: "The reason why this matter can be solved this time is that Mr. Mao has made great contributions, and I will definitely start playing the king after returning to Handan this time, and ask for credit for Mr. Mao!" ”

Mao Sui smiled and said: "Yu Qing doesn't have to be polite, since we are both ministers of Zhao State, it is a matter of course to solve problems for the king, and today's matter is over, so Mao Sui will leave, I hope he will have the opportunity to cooperate with Yu Qing again in the future." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, and said goodbye.
