"Brother Hua, when Gongsun Chan besieged Yuanyuan Village before, I didn't see you ask me for help. Why are you borrowing troops for Cao Cao now? ”

"Alas!" After a sigh, I heard Huaxing open his mouth to explain:

"A few months ago, I had formed an alliance with Cao Cao. Now that Cao Cao is in trouble, Hua will give full support. It's just that the troops under the command are limited, and the enemy army is too strong, so I have to come to Hongnong to ask the general for help! ”

"Oh, so you have an alliance with Cao Cao?"

After nodding knowingly, Gao Shun did not rush to make a statement, but held his cheeks and fell into a deep thought. No one could see what he was thinking at the moment.

After waiting for more than half a minute, Gao Shun came out of his thoughts, and the first question he asked was about the troops:

"By the way, although we have heard of the battle of Yuan Cao, the specific situation is not clear. I heard that the Yuan brothers sent a total of 200,000 troops to besiege Cao Cao, is this true? ”

In the face of Gao Shun's inquiry, Huaxing hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to tell the truth:

"It is true! Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu each led 100,000 troops, one stationed north of Xuchang and the other east of Chenliu, adding up to a total of 200,000 troops. ”

"Oh? Is there really so many? ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Gao Shun's eyebrows locked, and he said with a little surprise:

"I thought Er Yuan was bluffing, but I didn't expect it to be true...... Ay? How many troops does Cao Cao have? ”

"Cao's troops...... Very limited. Counting the men and horses I brought, there are only 60,000 soldiers in Xuchang City. ”

After listening to Huaxing's reply, Gao Shun, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but let out a light sigh.

On one side there was an army of 200,000, and on the other side there were only 60,000 troops, less than half of the opponent's. With such a huge disparity, it is really difficult to be optimistic.

"Huh? That's right! Soon, Gao Shun asked again: "I remember that Cao Cao still has a lot of troops in Yanzhou, why didn't he transfer it to resist?" ”

Facing Gao Shun's doubts, without waiting for Huaxing to speak, he was preempted by Chen Gong, who was sitting on the side:

"General Gao, Yanzhou is the territory that Cao Cao only conquered last month, and the city is full of soldiers who have just been captured. If support is brought in now, not only will it not help, but it will probably cause chaos. Cao Cao is not a reckless person, and he will never be called lightly. Therefore, according to the old man's opinion, Cao Cao has lost all the battles in this battle, and even if we go, it is impossible to turn things around. ”

At this point, without waiting for Gao Shun to express his position, Chen Gong looked at Huaxing with a solemn face, and unceremoniously rejected the other party:

"General Hua, this battle is not only useless to our army, but also will definitely be defeated. If you let our army send troops to rescue, how is it different from harming me? The old man and General Gao will never agree to this matter, and please break your mind as soon as possible and leave Hongnong as soon as possible! ”

Although Chen Gong's words are cruel, they are not unreasonable.

After listening, Gao Shun also subconsciously tapped his head twice.

Obviously, on this matter, he and Chen Gong agreed.

Huaxing had long expected such an ending, so he didn't show too much disappointment.

As soon as Chen Gong's voice fell, he took the initiative to talk to the other party about the conditions:

"General Gao, Lord Chen, I know that my request is difficult for some strongmen, but as long as the two of them are willing to send troops to help, Hua is willing to make three promises!"

Although Chen Gong didn't want to help Huaxing, after hearing the "three promises", he immediately showed a curious gaze:

"Oh? What are they? ”

"First, as long as the general is willing to send troops to help, no matter whether he wins or loses, Hua will seek a second-grade official position for the general within a year!"

After Lu Bu's death, although Gao Shun inherited the position of Hongnong Taishou, his rank has never changed, and he is still a third-grade Pingxi general.

Huaxing believed that with the relationship between him and the little emperor and Fu Wan, it should not be difficult to ask for a second-grade official rank for Gao Shun, so he took the initiative to make such a promise.

"Humph! Now that the Han family is in decline, it doesn't matter if he is a third or second grade, but it's just a false name. ”

Hearing this, Chen Gong shook his head with disdain:

"In addition, our General Gao is not a person who is greedy for fame, so your condition is meaningless."

Of course, Huaxing also knows that it is impossible to convince the other party with just one official position. After smiling slightly, he quickly said his second condition:

"Second, as long as the general is willing to help, I will definitely persuade Cao Cao to form an eternal alliance with your army. If anyone comes to commit an offense in the future, General Cao and I will definitely help each other to repay today's kindness! ”

After hearing the second condition, Chen Gong immediately waved his hand and chuckled, his expression was even more disdainful:

"If it had been placed in the past, the old man might have really considered it. But now, Cao Cao has crossed the river as a mud bodhisattva, whether he can survive this catastrophe is two words, what is the meaning of your eternal alliance? For the sake of an ally who can't even protect himself, let's offend Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu? Hehe, do you think the old man is stupid? ”

On this issue, although Gao Shun still did not speak, it was not difficult to see from his dodging eyes that he also thought that this matter was extremely uneconomical.

Seeing this scene, Hua Xing had to sigh secretly while playing his last hole card:

"Third, as long as the general is willing to send troops to help, no matter whether he wins or loses, Hua will give Brother Gao a sum of silver taels to show his gratitude!"

"Yo? Want to tempt us with silver? How much can you give? Tell me about it? ”

When he left Hongnong City, Huaxing was poor and white, and even the start-up capital was stolen from Hongnong.

In addition, he had just returned eight thousand taels of silver to Gao Shun, so Chen Gong didn't believe how much silver Hua Xing could take out at this moment, and his face was full of contempt.

In the face of Chen Gong's inquiry, Hua Xing did not rush to reply, but raised two fingers lightly.

"Two thousand taels?"

After seeing the other party's gestures, Chen Gong seemed to have heard a big joke, and shook his head and chuckled on the spot:

"Hehe, I said that the surname is Hua, you are asking for food when we are? For two thousand taels of silver, I'm going to help you fight? ”

Facing Chen Gong's questioning, Hua Xing shook his head calmly:

"Lord Chen, you misunderstood, it's not two thousand taels. But...... Twenty thousand taels! ”

"W-What? Twenty thousand taels? ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Chen Gong, but even Gao Shun, who didn't say a word, widened his eyes.

"That's right! And not in a lump sum. ”

Soon, I heard Huaxing add again:

"I plan to send you 20,000 taels every year, for five consecutive years, just ask the general to send troops to rescue!"

Twenty thousand taels of silver is a lot, but if it were an ordinary small town, it would not be able to earn so much silver in a year.

Huaxing now not only promises to give Gao Shun 20,000 taels of silver, but also every year, and one is five years.

Add it all together, that's 100,000 taels of silver!

Hearing this number, Chen Gong and Gao Shun invariably showed shock.
