After listening to Guo Jia's advice, the generals in the hall were all indignant.

It has been more than ten years since Chen Liu's army started. Fight Dong Zhuo, Liu Bei, Black Mountain, Yellow Turban, destroy Tao Qian, Li Dao, Guo Yan, which battle have you been afraid of? Only after Lu Bu rose did he lose consecutive battles.

Now he doesn't even have the courage to fight, and he wants to send 10,000 stone of grain to curry favor with Lu Bu's generals.

As a fierce general under Cao Cao, how can he tolerate it?

Xu Huang came out and said: "The military advisor should not grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige." Xiang Yu and Gao Shun wanted to attack the city, so they let them attack, and in the end, they would have no return. Then mobilize heavy troops and take the three counties of Yuzhang directly.... ”

"Stupid!"

Guo Jia scolded angrily: "You can beat Xiang Yu and Gao Shun." It can occupy Yuzhang, Huiji, and Wu County. Can you beat Lu Bu? Can Yangzhou be occupied? There are hundreds of thousands of Lu troops in Yangzhou, well-equipped and well-trained, once they advance westward, our Yanzhou is in danger! ”

"You are all battle-hardened generals, not only to cross the battlefield, but also to know how to grasp the overall situation. What is the big picture? The 200,000 soldiers and horses in my Han have not yet withdrawn to Yuzhou. The hundreds of thousands of elites outside the Guanwai and Sili have not yet been transferred to Xudu. Liu Bei's strength is still weak, and the Shu Road is not clear. The most important thing is that Yuan Shao of Hebei, will he take advantage of the war in the Central Plains to come to disrupt the situation? ”

"It's the big picture! There must be no war until these matters are resolved. Otherwise, you will bring disaster upon yourself! ”

Xu Huang calmed down and retreated reluctantly.

All the strategists said: "The minister seconded the words of filial piety!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen..."

Cao Cao's expression was strange, as if he had been choked by the neck, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Just do it according to Fengxiao's wishes." sent people to negotiate with Xiang Yu, Gao Shun, and Lu Bu, and tried to make big things small and small things as small. ”

"King Wei is wise."

All civil and military forces responded.

Night.

Xun You returned to Xiang Yu's camp again, and curryed favor with Xiang Yu with 10,000 stone of grain, canceling the previous gamble.

Xiang Yu got a great benefit, of course agreed. However, he still held on to Sima Yi's affairs and asked Xu Du to hand over Sima Yi as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is still necessary to attack Xudu City.

Early the next morning, Gao Shun's 20,000 light horsemen arrived outside the city of Xudu and joined Xiang Yu's broken military camp.

In the tent.

Xiang Yu told him about the gambling game.

Gao Shun said with a smile: "Cao Cao is located in half of the Central Plains, and he is also subordinate to the Guanwai, and he can be called one of the best princes, but he doesn't want to be frightened by General Xiang's 10,000 broken military camps, and he is cowardly before fighting, which is really ridiculous." ”

Xiang Yu complained: "I really don't understand, why didn't the lord kill Cao Cao?" With our strength, it should be easy, right? ”

Gao Shun said: "Maybe the lord is worried about Yuan Shao in Hebei. If Yuan Shao is not destroyed, it will be difficult to collect the Central Plains and Guanwai under Yuan Shao's nose. What's more, Cao Cao still owes us a lot of money and grain, if the war starts now, then hundreds of millions of money and grain, isn't it equivalent to giving it to Cao Cao for nothing? ”

"General Gao has a point."

Xiang Yu frowned, slowly got up and said, "I originally planned to provoke Cao Cao first, start a war with us, and then occupy Xudu City. Now it seems that it is better not to spoil the overall situation. ”

"Hmm."

"But..."

Xiang Yu changed his words, and then said: "But... It can't be too cheap Cao Cao either. Doesn't he like to please me, so let him continue to please. ”

"General Xiang has any good ideas?"

Xiang Yu smiled and said, "It's very simple. If there is less than 30,000 stone grains, I will never quit Yanzhou. I also had to tell Cao Cao that after receiving Sima Yi, he would immediately send him to Shouchun City. Otherwise.... ”

"Hahaha..."

Gao Shun laughed and said, "In this way, Cao Cao will not be angry with you." ”

"It's best to be angry."

The two decided to come down, and in the early morning of the next day, they led 30,000 iron horsemen to arrive in the southern city of Xudu.

Xun Yu was assigned by Cao Cao to go out of the city to negotiate.

Xiang Yu said straight to the point: "Mr. Xun, if you want me to withdraw from the army, unless you give another 30,000 stone grain." ”

"You...!"

Xun You said angrily: "Don't you think it's too much? ”

"Excessive? I don't think so... ”

Xiang Yu waved his hand and said: "Look at the iron cavalry behind me, I should have set foot on your Xu Capital City, but now I only need 30,000 stone of grain to quell the fighting, and you can also keep Xu Capital City, you should be happy." ”

"Happy? Hehe.... ”

Xun You sneered a few times, remembering Guo Jia's advice and Cao Cao's instructions, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you another 10,000 stones..." ”

"Mr. Xun, you know I don't like to bargain. If you say 30,000 stones, you will have 30,000 stones. If you can't be the master, go back to the city and report to Cao Cao to see how he decides. ”

Xiang Yu said in an unquestionable tone.

"Xiang Yu, don't go too far. You know that Xu Ducheng has high walls and thick walls, and he will not be afraid of your broken barracks. It's just that I don't want to destroy the alliance with General Lu, so I have repeatedly backed down, if you have to force and deliberately provoke a war, then I promise that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the capital will fight to the death! Xun You wanted to scare Xiang Yu and extort less food.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Yutian was not afraid, and he was not afraid of the ground, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you want to fight, you will fight, I can't ask for it." ”

Xun Yu didn't scare Xiang Yu, he suddenly pressed his hand like a castrated ball, and said, "Okay, good... I'll go back to the city and report to the general. ”

Xun Yu returned to the city.

Xiang Yu looked at Gao Shun and said with a wry smile: "This Xun Gongda, he still wants to scare me, and he doesn't want to think about who I am Xiang Yu, can I be scared by him?" ”

Gao Shun said: "He was forced by you." The 40,000 stone military rations before and after were really very difficult for Cao Cao. If you want to use the gold and silver from the tomb robbery, go to the north to buy grain, and then transport it back to the Central Plains, but you will extort it, can you not be angry? ”

"Haha... I don't care. ”

Xun You returned to the palace of the king of Wei and explained to Cao Cao what had happened.

Cao Cao angrily threw a tea bottle and shouted: "Gather 50,000 foot cavalry, line up at the south gate, I want to fight Xiang Yu to the death!" ”

"King Wei is angry."

Xun Yu next to him persuaded: "The minister thinks that Feng Xiao's advice is very good, no matter how Xiang Yu provokes, we should not fight." Because of the lack of strength of Lu Bu, even if Xiang Yu is repulsed, he will be held accountable by Lu Bu, which will put our army in a passive situation. ”

Boom!

Cao Cao was angry, kicked over a table again, and said: "Hundreds of thousands of troops, being bullied to the doorstep, still dare not fight back, from ancient times to the present, can there be such a strange news?" ”

The strategists looked at each other.

"Bong Hyo..."

Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu all set their eyes on Guo Jia.

I hope Guo Jia can persuade Cao Cao again.

"Bong-hyo."

"Yes."

After Cao Cao vented, he asked, "Do you think... This 30,000 stone grain, should I give it to Xiang Yu? ”

"It shouldn't be given!"

"Oh?"

Cao Cao finally heard a different voice, and hurriedly said, "Tell me quickly." ”

Guo Jia replied: "Xiang Yu has to make inches, and King Wei can't back down repeatedly, otherwise after 30,000 stone of grain, he will ask for another 50,000 stone of grain." King Wei might as well wait until the envoy we sent to Shouchun City comes back, and then it will not be too late to answer Xiang Yu's words. I believe that Lu Bu's mind is all in the north, and he is eager to form an alliance with us to solve his worries, if Lu Bu orders Xiang and Gao to return, won't the King of Wei save 30,000 stone of grain? ”

"Yes, yes, yes... You see, I'm confused. Cao Cao's face finally showed a smile, looked at Xun Yu and said, "You go out and tell Xiang Yu again, and after five days, give him an answer." "I want to talk about "Lu Bu, the Tyrant of the Three Kingdoms" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
