Chapter 740: There must be a price to pay

The civil and military generals in the city have more thoughts when faced with such a situation, and some of them are moved.

If Jingzhou launched a war against Lu Bu, it would have a great impact, and if some things were not handled properly, it would even bring disaster to some families.

Besides, wouldn't it be a better thing for Jingzhou to stabilize, why go through war, now, Lu Bu has provided a way to benefit Jingzhou without war.

Cai Mao said: "Xuzhou envoy, you have come this time, have you brought the production method of the hundred refining blades?" ”

Li Su shook his head and said: "Such an important thing, naturally, can only be handed over to Jingzhou Mu after the two sides form an alliance, how can it be carried with him." ”

Secretly, Li Su sneered, the production method of the Hundred Refining Blades is very important, and this is an important bargaining chip in Lu Bu's hands.

Besides, in the face of such a temptation, even if face is important, Liu Biao will do whatever it takes to get the things in his hands, and even after the things are in hand, he will still declare war on Lu Bu.

Li Su is still relatively clear about what kind of faces the princes have in the face of tangible interests.

If you want the princes to make concessions, you must let them see what kind of benefits they will have after doing so, otherwise, the princes will not let go easily, and this kind of thing is the same for Liu Biao.

Liu Biao is a clan relative of the Han family, Jingzhou Mu, and has a good reputation among the princes, but can Liu Biao really remain calm when facing the production method of the Hundred Refining Blades?

Besides, it is not uncommon for princes to secretly use other means to gain benefits.

Even princes like Yuan Shu secretly control the black-clothed pavilion with a great reputation on the rivers and lakes, what kind of thing can't happen.

The civilian and military generals present, after hearing Li Su's words, actually couldn't maintain a calm mentality, especially the generals in the army, they knew best how helpful it would be to improve the strength of the army when more hundred refining blades were equipped in the army.

But Liu Biao must remain calm in the face of such a temptation, who can be sure that this is not a trap deliberately set by Lu Bu, the current situation in Xuzhou and Yanzhou is urgent, and it is reasonable for Lu Bu to want to find a breakthrough.

With the strength of the Xuzhou army and the Yanzhou army, it is quite difficult to fight against Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, and the strength of the three parties is almost the same in the strict sense, and when attacking Lu Bu, there are princes like Sun Ce, Liu Bei and Kong Rong on the side to help, and the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Lu Bu.

And as long as Lu Bu can open a gap in Jingzhou, there will be more possibilities when dealing with the ensuing war.

The Jingzhou army is claimed to have 100,000 people, if Jingzhou does not attack Yanzhou, LΓΌ Bu can send more troops and horses from Yanzhou to Xuzhou to fight against Yuan Shu in the event of a war under his rule.

When the strength of the two sides is equal, it is simply impossible for Yuan Shu to make greater achievements on the battlefield in Xuzhou.

Besides, without Liu Biao's help, would he just use Yuan Shu's personal strength to dare to confront Lu Bu head-on.

"There is no need to talk about this matter, unless it is to come up with the production method of the Hundred Refining Blades now." Liu Biao said in a deep voice.

Li Su said with a smile: "The state pastor is also a shrewd person, such an important thing, if Wen Hou gives the state pastor, and the state pastor turns against him, wouldn't it be a loss for Wen Hou, since it is an alliance between the two sides, we must show the corresponding sincerity." ”

Liu Biao didn't understand the truth, wanting to get the production method of the Hundred Refining Blade from Lu Bu's hands was full of difficulties in itself, Lu Bu was not a fledgling prince, and the strength of the means he showed when dealing with the attacks of other princes was shocking.

In front of such princes, if you want to get more benefits, you must pay a certain price.

The Xuzhou side sent an envoy to Jingzhou, and if the Jingzhou side had any intentions, it was necessary to send an envoy to Xuzhou to discuss the alliance with Lu Bu.

If such a thing really happened, Liu Biao's words to denounce Lu Bu before would be a slap in the face.

Even if Liu Biao has ideas about the hundred refining blades and even gunpowder, he can't choose to cooperate with Lu Bu at this time, once such a cooperation is reached, the impact on reputation is too great, as a famous existence among the princes, Liu Biao naturally has to pay more attention to this aspect of the problem.

The temptation given by Lu Bu is not small, but Liu Biao seems that as long as Yanzhou and Xuzhou can be broken, these secrets that originally belonged to Lu Bu will surface, and they will be obtained by Jingzhou.

War is inevitable, the key is how much benefit Jingzhou can get after the end of this war, if the harvest cannot satisfy Jingzhou's family, Liu Biao's influence in Jingzhou will be reduced.

This kind of situation is not what Liu Biao wants to see, he has been operating in Jingzhou for many years, in order to have greater achievements among the princes, and now such an opportunity is in front of him, how to better grasp it, it depends on the trade-off.

"The envoy from Xuzhou came from afar, and it was also hard, so let's retreat and rest first." Liu Biao waved his hand and said, obviously not planning to have more entanglements with Li Su in this matter.

And Li Su secretly breathed a sigh of relief, judging from Liu Biao's current actions, there is still hesitation, in fact, when any prince faces Lu Bu, it is impossible to be absolutely calm, Lu Bu's reputation among the princes is based on strong strength in exchange, how many powerful princes want to benefit from Lu Bu, but it is difficult to succeed.

After Lu Bu's position in Xuzhou and Yanzhou became more and more stable, there were many benefits to the civil and military generals who followed Lu Bu, so when it was not necessary, these people would not easily betray Lu Bu.

After taking refuge in other princes, they may get benefits for the time being, but after such a time has passed, they will face the encroachment of the original princes' families, unless the strength of their family is strong and can withstand such a test, otherwise, the family's efforts for many years may become the capital of other families.

In terms of choice, the wealthy family is cautious, unless Liu Biao and Yuan Shu join forces, they can win the battle against Lu Bu with a devastating posture, so that more people can see that following Lu Bu's side, there will be no hope at all, in this case, they may make a choice.
