Cao's army retreated, which is a good thing.

Liu Bei hoped that this was a real retreat, and the cost of five million was very high, but he could afford it.

Liu Bei hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Get ready in the city and give the money." ”

Five million big money, it takes a couple of big cars to pull, and they were already ready yesterday.

The gates of the city opened and pulled the money out directly.

At this time, no one came to sneak attack.

If it's a sneak attack, they're ready for it.

The money was pulled to a mile outside the city, and the army left behind by Zhang Ming quickly took the money away

After getting the money, the soldiers rushed away.

If Liu Bei knew about this, he wouldn't hunt them down.

After running far.

"Quick, put all the money on horseback, and camel a little alone."

The carriage, after all, was a little slower.

They put the money on their horses, and they had a thousand men, and each of them had to hunch a little.

Soon, five million dollars were separated, and then the thousand people quickly walked away.

At this time, even if Liu Bei found out, it was too late to pursue.

Liu Bei thought about being deceived, but he also had to take risks, and it was obviously more important to let Cao Jun retreat than five million.

Two hours after getting the money, Liu Bei sent someone out to find out the news and finally came back.

"My lord, we have found out the news that Chen Gong led Lu Bu to occupy many places in Yanzhou, and established Lu Bu as the lord of Yanzhou, so Cao Cao retreated."

"Bang~"

Liu Bei was furious and smashed the table directly.

"Zhang Ming, you are shameless..."

Liu Bei yelled.

This is a fraud, this is not Zhang Ming asking Cao Cao to retreat at all, without him Zhang Ming, Cao Cao will inevitably retreat.

Liu Bei was fooled because Zhang Ming did not ask for money first, but gave money after Cao Jun retreated.

This may be that Cao Cao colluded with Zhang Ming to deceive him, or it may be that Zhang Ming really has a way.

Liu Bei was very nervous at this time, so he chose to believe it.

As a result, I was still deceived.

This deception is five million, which directly hollowed him out.

"Damn, damn."

"Send troops immediately and recover the money."

Liu Bei ordered 5,000 cavalry to go out of the city.

However, it took them more than an hour to determine where the money was going and knew the general direction to chase them out, and as a result, the thousand men had been running for several hours, and where could they catch up.

At this time, Xuzhou was divided into two factions.

One faction advocates pursuing Cao Cao, and the other faction advocates holding on to the death, and quickly recovering its strength after Cao Cao is gone.

In the end, Liu Bei sent 5,000 troops to harass Cao's army and cause them a little trouble.

In fact, there is no need for Liu Bei to find trouble, Cao Cao at this time is already troublesome enough.

Cao Cao made a detour, and Zhang Ming arrived at the next place in advance.

It was a long and narrow passage, and Zhang Ming had people piled up wood there.

The wood blocked the way.

"This time, if Cao Cao doesn't leave the money to buy the road, I can hold him back for at least five days."

A few days have passed since the incident in Yanzhou, and it would be unimaginable if Zhang Ming dragged it for another five days.

Zhang Ming waited quietly.

It is said that the small detachment that collects the money, they run all the way to the sea, and if there is no boat, they will go north along the coastline.

As luck would have it, they sent the money to the ship, and then they went to pick up Milan.

Mi Lan was temporarily hidden by Zhang Ming and sent a few soldiers to protect her.

After picking up Mi Lan, they went to find Zhang Ming.

Two days later, when Dian Wei Qianfeng arrived, the road had been blocked by Zhang Ming.

"Move, move."

The road was blocked by wood, and Dian Wei was very anxious.

They started moving, but they moved for an hour, and there were many more, and they didn't know how many there were.

Zhang Ming had already discovered them, but he didn't stop them.

After moving for an hour, Zhang Ming ordered: "Okay, go and tell them, then everything will be in vain." ”

Zhang Ming immediately sent hundreds of people to release arrows from a high place.

In this way, Dian Wei withdrew the people.

"Haha, Dian Wei, go back and tell Cao Cao, I stopped this road, I want to pass, leave the money to buy the road."

Dian Wei was angry, but he couldn't help it.

When Cao Cao found out, he was also furious.

But he knew he couldn't take a detour anymore, so he came over.

The generals revolved around Cao Cao, and they held an impromptu meeting in an open field.

"There are other roads around."

Cao Ren stepped out of the ranks, clenched his fists and said: "Lord, this is our road after all, if you want to take other roads, you need to go back for a day first, and then change the route, so it will take many days." ”

After beating it, Cao Cao knew that it was impossible.

Zhang Ming got so much wood, just to prepare to set it on fire.

These firewoods were all freshly chopped and still wet, but Zhang Ming had gasoline and could be lit.

Cao Cao didn't have any choice.

After discussing for a while, Cao Cao closed his eyes and weighed for a long time, Cao Cao opened his eyes and said, "Fengxiao, you go and talk to Zhang Ming." ”

Talking, is already the best result.

Guo Jia took the order and left.

Guo Jia was picked up by Zhang Ming's soldiers.

"Hahaha, Bonghyo, it's been a long time since I heard about your name."

"Fengxiao, we finally met, I heard Zhicai say that you are a top talent, he is ashamed of himself, and we can finally meet today."

Zhang Ming can also set up a desk in the field, and then boil water to make tea.

"General Protector, we don't have time to make tea, let's talk about things directly."

"Don't be in a hurry, I don't think it's easy to negotiate this negotiation, and I said while drinking it, this is this year's new tea, which is very fragrant."

Zhang Ming has been opening up a tea garden for several years, and now it is finally producing on a large scale, bringing him huge profits every year.

Pour good tea.

Zhang Ming took a sip, and then said, "Fengxiao, my price remains the same, so I don't plan to talk to Cao Cao." ”

Zhang Ming said this, Guo Jia was very helpless, they were too passive.

"We can't discuss it, now we have to go back to war, war horses, weapons and equipment are very important."

If it's something else, Cao Cao might just give it.

But the weapons and equipment of this war horse are what he lacks the most.

Zhang Ming continued to pour tea, took a sip, and then said, "I want other things, but it's a pity that you don't have anything of value to give." ”

"I don't need siege equipment, you have lost it, it's useless for us to have so much grain and grass, and besides, grain and grass are not valuable."

"We gave fifteen million dollars, and my father-in-law made an IOU and signed the contract in black and white."

"Cut."

Zhang Ming laughed shamefully and said: "Lao Tzu, this is blackmail, it is robbery, even if it is written in black and white, Cao Cao will not admit it afterwards, and the world will not say a word about him." ”

This is written in black and white, even if Cao Cao breaches the contract, he really doesn't have to have any burden, and the world will not scold him for treachery, but think it's normal.

Guo Jia really couldn't convince Zhang Ming at this time.

Black and white are useless.

Zhang Ming said again: "But it's not negotiable, but there needs to be a mortgage." ”

"This is the first one, that is, you want to stay in Fengxiao, and then let Cao Cao make a general, Xu Chu or Dian Wei can do it."

"I can rest assured that there are two people with me."
