Zhang Ming asked two people to make a mortgage.

The price is fifteen million.

Guo Jia thought about it and left him behind, which was not a big deal, because he couldn't help him as a civil official for the time being.

But for a general, the losses are huge.

However, a general is very light compared to 8,000 war horses and equipment.

Zhang Ming was not in a hurry and continued to pour tea for Guo Jia.

Zhang Ming clearly put on the robbery of the open fire.

At this time, Cao Cao faced great difficulties.

After thinking for a long time, Guo Jia drank two cups of tea and was still pondering.

"I'll go back and tell my lord, I hope he will agree."

Guo Jia left, and more than half an hour later, he met Cao Cao.

"Lord, Zhang Ming's condition is that two people are required to make a mortgage, and he wants you to give fifteen million dollars."

As soon as these words came out, the generals were furious and wanted to kill them now.

Looking at the angry crowd, Cao Cao forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

He's the lord and has to solve the problem.

"Who does he want?"

"One of the subordinates, the tiger idiot, and the evil come."

"Bang~"

Cao Cao was directly angry and slammed the table next to him to the ground.

On the march, there were also tables, which were improvised with a few logs.

"My lord, I'm going to kill him." Xu Chu scolded and said.

Dian Wei's eyes were also red, and he wanted to kill Zhang Ming.

Everyone looked at Cao Cao, as long as Cao Cao gave an order, they would kill him.

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, and Guo Jia knew what was going on.

Cao Cao agreed in his heart, but he couldn't say it.

Once you say it, it will chill everyone's hearts.

As the lord, he couldn't make such a decision, so he took a look at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia immediately understood.

"Lord, please agree to Zhang Ming's request, Lu Bu has already occupied a lot of places, if you don't agree, we will have to take a detour, a detour back, it will take five days."

"This is still five days under the condition that Zhang Ming and Liu Bei don't make trouble, if Liu Bei and Zhang Ming make trouble, we may not be able to go back for more than ten days."

"Even if it is five days, if we waste these five days, Lu Bu may be able to gain a firm foothold, and then we will not be able to drive him out of Yanzhou, and the consequences will be serious."

"My life is nothing, not to mention that I am just a hostage in Zhang Ming, and when Lu Bu is driven away, the lord will redeem his subordinates."

Guo Jia said so much, not for Cao Cao, but for the generals.

Especially Xu Chu and Dian Wei, Guo Jiade let them understand Cao Cao's current situation.

Tell them the situation so that Cao Cao can do things better.

Cao Cao was silent, still silent, and his face was not good.

"My lord, please agree." Seeing that Cao Cao's face was not good, Guo Jia knelt on the ground and persuaded him.

Cao Cao remained unmoved.

Everyone didn't speak, and Cao Cao secretly glanced at Cao Ren.

Cao Ren saw Cao Cao's eyes, and immediately reacted.

Cao Ren knelt on one knee, and then said: "Lord, please also agree to Zhang Ming's conditions for the time being, wait for us to drive Lu Bu away, and then lead the army to kill Zhang Ming and take revenge." ”

Cao Renyi said that more people came out to ask Cao Cao to agree.

"That's fine."

Cao Cao finally spoke.

"Just this time, after this incident, I and Zhang Ming will not share the sky, and we will definitely take revenge."

The voice is loud, and so is the determination.

The next thing is to see who goes.

Guo Jia only found out at this time that he had fallen for Zhang Ming.

He asked Xu Chu and Dian Wei to go to one of them, no matter who Cao Cao chosen, everyone had a mustard in their hearts.

In fact, Guo Jia's best way is to tell Cao Cao that Zhang Ming wants Dian Wei or Xu Chu, and only say one, not one of the two.

"When evil comes, you will go with the military advisor."

Cao Cao saw Dian Wei's face full of reluctance, and even his face was black, full of anger.

That's not a good thing.

Cao Cao stood up, walked up to him, pressed his shoulders with both hands and said, "I will give you a hundred catties of gold, ten acres in two days, and a mansion, so that you have been wronged." ”

I was indeed wronged.

Let Dian Wei charge into battle without fear, let him be a hostage, or be so humiliated to be a hostage, he is very unwilling.

But Cao Cao personally came to invite him to go, and this Dian Wei could not refuse.

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates take care of the overall situation."

"Evil comes, I have wronged you."

Wronged you? Dian Wei was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry, but he couldn't.

Dian Wei was extremely aggrieved, but he still agreed.

So, Guo Jia and Dian Wei went to Zhang Ming.

"Hahaha, Fengxiao, we meet again, and there is evil."

"The evil of the ancients is coming, we have fought before."

Dian Wei didn't give Zhang Ming any face.

Zhang Ming was not angry, he was very happy that the blackmail was successful this time.

So Zhang Ming ordered them to leave this place with their whole army.

After Zhang Ming and the others left, Cao Cao ordered the army to get some wood and forcibly clear a passage.

However, this also delayed him for a day, this is another day if Zhang Ming did not intercept it, if Zhang Ming obstructs it, I am afraid that it will not be able to rush through in five days.

Zhang Ming walked away directly, he didn't get involved in this matter, Cao Cao would fight if he wanted to, he was afraid of losing his troops.

Zhang Ming left, wanted to make a detour, and then returned to the area around Xiapi City.

On the third day, Zhang Ming met with the 1,000 people who took the money, and Zhang Ming saw Mi Lan again.

"We're meeting again, because we're marching at high speed, so we can only hide you first." Seeing Mi Lan, Zhang Ming explained to him.

"You don't have to explain, I'm your captive now, you can do whatever you want."

Zhang Ming smiled, and then said, "Barbecue tonight." ”

barbecue, Zhang Ming wants to entertain a few distinguished guests.

This distinguished guest is naturally Dian Wei and Guo Jia.

Zhang Ming asked the soldiers to go to Zhang Luo.

In the afternoon, Zhang Ming set up camp early, then found a flat land next to a creek and began to prepare there.

Guo Jia was calmer, while Dian Wei sat opposite Zhang Fei with an angry face.

The two have not dealt with each other since they met, and they have had a fight before.

Both of them are top generals, and neither of them obeys the other.

If you don't accept it, don't accept it, Zhang Ming doesn't care, don't have an accident anyway.

Zhang Ming began to barbecue.

"Fengxiao, let me introduce you, this is Mi Lan, Mi Zhu's sister, my unmarried lady."

Zhang Ming solemnly introduced Mi Lan.

Ancient women can be introduced, it seems that Zhang Ming attaches great importance to it.

Guo Jia is a smart person and immediately sees the problem.

"Tricked from Liu Bei?"

Zhang Ming set up an ambush in advance, that is, he must have known in advance that Chen Gong was going to rebel, that is, he might have used this matter to deceive Liu Bei?

It's not difficult, if it's Guo Jia, he can do it.

"No, I fell in love with Miss Mi Jia, Liu Bei, I only deceived him of five million."

Dian Wei on the side heard it stand up and scolded: "Then why did you extort fifteen million dollars from my lord, what do you mean by Zhang Ming, why Liu Bei is five million, and we want fifteen million." ”

Guo Jia was helpless, the question asked by Dian Wei was too level.

Because Cao Cao was in a hurry, because Cao Cao had to give this fifteen million money.

But Dian Wei didn't want this, he was very angry and stood up to accuse Zhang Ming.
