Chapter 991: Negotiation

On the way to the Assassin's Mansion to see Liu Xuan, Zhang Zhao saw a thriving scene, and in a trance he had the illusion of returning to the Yellow Turban before the uprising, the densely populated Moling was like the Central Plains at that time, with all industries flourishing and people flowing.

Jiangdong, which has not been harmed by the Yellow Turban, is simply different from the Central Plains today, where it has suffered from the Yellow Turban, and has been baptized by war and disaster, thousands of miles of uninhabited, and the scene of frozen bones on the road can be seen everywhere, only this point, even Xuzhou City is difficult to compare with Moling.

Zhang Zhao's state of mind began to change, now to fight for the Central Plains is definitely not as good as to fight for Jiangnan, only by mastering the population can we grasp the initiative, in order to have greater capital to fight for the Central Plains, although the current Jiangnan farming is still stuck in slash and burn, but as long as the Central Plains civilization can be brought, then Jiangnan will become the second Xuzhou in one fell swoop, no, it will inevitably surpass Xuzhou!

But Zhang Zhao quickly became discouraged, and the purpose of his coming here was not to submit tactics, but to the alliance. Sigh, hateful Cao Cao, if he hadn't killed in Xuzhou, how could Liu Lan have so many concerns, when the time comes, the army will go south, the hegemony will be successful, and the Han family will prosper!

Alas, the time is also fate! Zhang Zhao, who sighed in his heart, found that he had arrived at the Thorn History Mansion, got off from the Ziche, and saw the gold lacquer plaque of the three words of "Thorn History Mansion" head-on, the whole mansion was magnificent, and after entering the government, the left and right were the office spaces of bureaucrats at all levels, and the side of the main hall of the Thorn History Office was the meeting hall, and when he walked into the hall, he saw a huge Yue kiln carving Da Ei several above the main seat, and there was a half-human high mottled green bronze tripod behind the left side of the low table, and the right rear side wall was hung with a pair' Crossing the river and swimming in the dragon', the dragon's eyes have not yet been seen, but it shows the author's pen strength and deep attainments, and in the corner of the whole picture. There is a line of small characters from the author: Wu Xing is not xing.

Just glanced at the scene in the house, and then Zhang Zhao raised his head and walked into the hall calmly, like a hook to everyone, his face was calm and calm, so that people could not see the slightest nervousness.

In fact, Zhang Zhao has a hundred times more confidence, or he has full confidence in his heart. He didn't believe that Liu Miao would be stupid enough to take the initiative to provoke Xuzhou, otherwise he would have sent troops to fight for Xuzhou with the lord when he obtained Guangling, and he didn't have to wait until Xuzhou sent troops to Guangling before taking action.

But the martial artists in the hall obviously didn't have a good face like Liu Miao or Sun Shao for him, a great Confucian who was famous in Xu Yang Erzhou, and they all stared at him with cold eyebrows, trying to intimidate him with that murderous aura.

There is a murderous and murderous spirit in the world. Naturally, there is a frank and righteous spirit, and Zhang Zhao, who is so deep that he is not shocked by the sudden arrival, is completely fearless, and after bowing his hand to everyone with a light face, he snorted at Liu Xuan, and said: "Pengcheng Zhang Zibu, I have seen Liu Yuanjun!" ”

"I have heard for a long time that the name of Pengcheng Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu has never had a chance to see it, but today I saw it and it was really extraordinary!" Liu Xianglang laughed and said, "Zibu, I heard that you have already left Xuzhou?" ”

"Exactly!"

"It's a shame. Looks like it's a step late! Liu Miao looked quite regretful and said, "That's right, Zibu." Since you have been out of Xuzhou, what is this time? ”

Zhang Zhao didn't believe that Liu Xiang didn't know what he was doing, he had already written clearly in his letter to Sun Shao, but Liu Xiang still had to let Zhang Zhao slander a cunning sentence in his heart, and Liu Xuan's attitude towards him was even more cold and then hot, and this 80-degree change had already explained everything. But this is no longer important, since it is a negotiation, it is originally to test each other's bottom line, and dump each other to achieve their own best interests, Liu Miao tested him so much without showing any traces. It's just normal sense.

Zhang Zhao straightened out his clothes, and said slowly after hitting the draft in his heart: "My lord recently sent troops to Guangling to recover his homeland, and suddenly heard that your army Taishi Ci Department came to cover up, and then I heard that Zhenrong has dedicated Guangling to the envoy, and specially ordered Zhao to come this time not for anything else, just to take back Guangling, as long as the envoy agrees, my lord is willing to form an alliance with the envoy!" ”

Liu Xuan snorted and laughed, with a look of disdain, and sneered: "It's really ridiculous, Guangling is owned by Zhenrong, when did it become his Liu Lan's private property?" It's a big joke in the world, as for the matter of the alliance, I can't see what danger Moling needs to form an alliance with Xuzhou! If Zibu is only here for this matter, then there is nothing to talk about. ”

What is Zhang Zhao's strength, not what is the tongue argument, but the quotation of scriptures, if he is a debater, even a child who can speak the Tao can speak him, but if he quotes the scriptures and talks about the truth, how many people here are his opponents?

Zhang Zhao laughed at each other, and said: "I think it is Liu Envoy Jun who is the great joke of the world, since the envoy said that Guangling is not the private property of my lord, then the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister, my lord is shepherd Xuzhou on behalf of the Son of Heaven, Guangling is a county in Xuzhou, how can my lord not be a herdsman?" And the generation of Zhenrong, in exchange for the merit of the throne from the hands of the king, is this not ridiculous? In the end, the lord of my family regards Guangling as private property or makes the king regard Guangling as private property, and the people of the world know at a glance, and I advise the king to return Guangling County as soon as possible, so as not to be ashamed of the people of the world! ”

Liu Xuan was slightly stunned, but he didn't expect Zhang Zhao to be a stinging and eloquent person, and he glanced at Zhang Ying, and then said with a smile: "What Zibu said is true, but if today's Zi Ling is not as good as the land of Kanto, this envoy, as the head of the Han family, should recover the chaotic land in Kanto for the Son of Heaven to welcome the Son of Heaven, this is the trend of the times, and how can it be his own selfishness?" With a sincere heart, the sky is pitiful, and the people of the world will understand my painstaking efforts! ”

Zhang Zhao looked sad and indignant, if he found some other excuse Zhang Zhao may not be able to answer, but when it comes to the danger of the Han family, it makes him feel heartbroken, if there are not these stupid people in this world, how can it be like this, and screamed sadly: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, what you said means that you can't believe it with a three-year-old child, so why bother deceiving yourself here?" Since the envoy claims to be the head of the Han family, don't you hear that when my lord was discussing Dong, he was a Han man, and Guangyang was the counselor of the military plane after the king, and you are dedicated to the Han, is my lord bent on thieves? On the other hand, after the envoy was driven south by the Yuan clan, he did not know how to prepare for the great thief Yuan, but he used the light of rotten wood to provoke a war with Xuzhou, and he was only unknown in the morning and night, but he vainly said that he would recover the chaotic land in the eastern part of the country to welcome the Son of Heaven, which was really stupid! ”

Liu Miao didn't know why he was humiliated by Zhang Zhao's head and face, and he stood up suddenly. His face was full of anger, and he roared angrily: "Come on, come on, drag this man down for me!" ”

Outside the hall, the three or five armor soldiers quickly rushed up to catch Zhang Zhao, but he didn't want him to have the strength from somewhere, so he flicked his sleeves. He threw the armor aside, looked generous and righteous, and laughed wildly: "You are not far from death, you don't know it, and you are still deceiving yourself here, I will go to the underworld to wait for you, and you will come to accompany you in a few days, haha!" Happy, happy! ”

If such a scene is not present, I am afraid that Zhang Zibu will really be unable to escape this catastrophe today. Sun Shao was about to come out of the stairs to intercede, but he didn't want Liu Shao to change his tone, so he snorted coldly at the soldier who had already dragged Zhang Zhao out, and said, "Slow! ”

Zhang Zhao tidied up his shirt, looked coldly at the murderous eyes of the soldiers on both sides and greeted Liu Xuan, at this moment he still looked calm and calm, and he had no consciousness that the axe was about to be added.

Liu Xuan's face turned pale, and he said, "You are still talking wildly when you are dying. Although it seems that the madness is really unknown, you say that I will die in the future. However, there is a danger of the Yangtze River in the land of my moling, and the soldiers of Jiangdong are all fierce weapons, which is unwise, and such an ignorant and unwise person is especially foolish to put words in this mouth, I see that your sage book is read in vain! ”

Zhang Zhao couldn't stop laughing after hearing this, pointed at Liu Miao and laughed: "I thought that Liu Yuanjun was the wise man in the world. You should have seen that the Yuan butcher's knife was about to face Moling, but you didn't know that death was going to be ...... today."

Liu Miao didn't want to listen anymore, waved his hand to the soldiers, and didn't bother to talk to this kind of person who didn't know what to do.

As soon as the armor soldiers on both sides made a move, Zhang Zhao shouted: "Slow! But how could his shouts work? Hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Liu Yuanjun, can you allow Zhang to say a word again, when the time comes, you will kill and chop, listen to the respect!" ”

Liu Miao snorted, and shouted angrily at the armor soldiers on both sides: "Who told you to stop, pull down and cut it!" ”

As soon as this sound fell, Sun Shao, who was frightened, rushed out of front of the table in a panic, begged for permission, and said, "Lord, it's not too late to kill Zhang Zibu after he finishes speaking!" ”

Liu Xuan was angry how could he listen to him, but in his heart he thought in vain that forming an alliance with Xuzhou was the top priority, if he really killed Zhang Zhao, he would not be able to die for the time being, but when the Lujiang side stopped, wouldn't he really be as Zhang Zibu said, his heart trembled, and he hurriedly went down the ladder, slowly returned to the front of the table, forced his composure, and said: "Just according to Changxu's words!" ”

Sun Shao let out a long sigh, and secretly rejoiced for a long time and said to Zhang Zhao at the same time: "Zibu, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly!" He blinked his eyes frequently, signaling Zhang Zhao to say something good, and then he pleaded from the side, and this catastrophe was avoided.

After Zhang Zhao replied to Sun Shao's hint that it didn't matter, he smiled and said: "My lord respects Yuan's entry into the Southern Alliance, and he has always relied on Yuan Shu's horse to look forward, but now that Xuzhou is in trouble, Yuan Shu will not care, as long as you kill me, it will completely tear the skin with my lord, and then my lord and Yuan Shu will attack on both sides, so that you can live?" ”

"Haha!" Liu Xuan laughed loudly and said: "Ru Xiu deceived me with words, now that the South Alliance has long fallen apart, how can it be as similar to before, I see that the next person to die is no one else, only Liu Lan!" ”

"It seems that the envoy doesn't believe it, so Rong Zibu asked, if Yuan Shuguo has the intention of attacking Xuzhou, why not when my lord enters Xuzhou? Even if Yuan Shu was not prepared at that time, but after my lord completely mastered Xuzhou, why was the Yuan family still indifferent, but went to attack Lujiang and make the king, don't you still see who Yuan Shu is going to war with? Zhang Zhao asked himself and answered, and said: "I don't think so, so that the gap between Jun and Yuan, I think you know better than anyone else!" ”

Although Zhang Zhao's words are true, Liu Miao also has his own bargaining chips, of course, his idea is to hope to get Guangling and ally with Liu Lan, although such an idea seems naΓ―ve, but he is sure that Liu Lan is also worried about Yuan Shu, and said with a smile: "I don't think it maybe, Danyang County has the danger of the Yangtze River, that's all, Yuan Shu first used force against whom it is not known, it is still difficult for your family to protect themselves in Xuzhou, but it is ridiculous to send you to make a big statement here!" ”

Zhang Zhao couldn't help but sneer a few times, and it was only then that he realized that Liu Miao was really short-sighted, and he wanted to recover the land of Yangzhou occupied by Yuan Shu, which was simply wishful thinking.

"You mock me?" Liu Xuan's face had just improved, and it became difficult to look at again.

"I laughed at the eyes of the king, and made you think that you had the danger of the Yangtze River as a guarantee, but I forgot that to this day my lord is still allied with Yuan Shu!"

Zhang Zhao stared at Liu Xuan deeply, and said eloquently: "If Jun Zhen does not return Guangling County, isn't he afraid that my lord will send an envoy to see Yuan Shu and talk to the two families to attack Danyang County?" At that time, even if the envoy is in danger of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that he will perish overnight! ”

At this moment, Zhang Zhao is also fearless, it doesn't make sense to quote scriptures from this person, then he can only come hard, although Liu Zhao is stupid, but he doesn't believe that he dares to harm his life at this point!

Bing Cao engaged in Zhang Ying has been observing the two people who have changed radically, or has been observing the lord, at this moment his expression is uncertain, obviously he doesn't know how to refute Zhang Zhao, and immediately stepped forward and said: "If this is the case, my lord will die, and your lord will also be in the evening!" ”

Liu Miao seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, and looked at him with a pair of bright eyes that were both appreciative and satisfied.

"My lord and Cao Mengde are friends of life and death, why should I be afraid of seeking external forces at that time, although Cao Mengde is now too busy to take care of himself, but if my lord really goes south with Yuan Shu, won't he use some tricks? At that time, as long as it can be delayed for a few years, with the wealth of Xuzhou, the talent of our master, the courage of the account, and the benefits of the soldiers, it may not be impossible to fight with Yuan Shu! ”

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed in Liu Xuan's heart, but they were vetoed by him one by one, and a cold light burst out of his eyes for a while, and he said in a deep voice: "Since the words have come to this point, there is nothing to talk about!" ”

"What Liu Yuanjun thinks, Zhang can guess one or two, but Liu Yuanjun can really guarantee to attack Xuzhou before Yuan Shu covers the Lujiang River? If you fall into a stalemate, I don't know what the envoy will rely on to resist Yuan Shu? Yangtze River? Ha ha! It's ridiculous! Zhang Zhao looked up to the sky and smiled, and said: "Even if it is 10,000 steps back, if the news that Tai Shi Ci led his troops to appear in Xuzhou to confront my lord appeared in Yuan Shu's ears, I don't know if Yuan Shu's character would miss such a good opportunity, so that Jun is really not afraid?" ”

At this moment, Liu Xuan was really empty-hearted, Yuan Shu's army attacked Lujiang obviously to go south to Moling, if he wanted to attack Xuzhou, he would have taken advantage of Liu Lan's unstable foothold to attack, so why take Lujiang first. And more importantly, once the news of Tai Shici's army appearing in Guangling really reached Yuan Shu's ears, with his character, how could he miss such a good opportunity?

And the most important point is that the grudge between the two forces Yuan Shu not to watch him sit big and sit firm, and then he really loses the important town of Danyang for the sake of Guangling, wouldn't it be worth the loss?

Just when Liu Miao was thoughtful, Zhang Zhao continued: "My lord saw the heart of Yuan Shu's wolf and tiger, so he asked me to come to unite the two families!" Could it be that Liu Yuanjun really can't see the sincerity of my lord? ”

Liu Miao nodded subconsciously and said, "What Zibu said is good!" It's just that I don't know what kind of requirements Liu Xuzhou put forward for the alliance? ”

Zhang Zhaolang laughed, he became more and more like a long and short family, and said with a reed tongue: "As long as you return to Guangling's hometown, there are no other requirements, as long as you agree, the two families will become lip and tooth, and no matter whether Danyang or Xuzhou is in trouble afterwards, they must support each other!" ”

Liu Miao thought that he could be preyed on by praying mantises, and the yellow finch was behind, so he went out of Guangling, but according to the current situation, he offended Liu Lan, a big enemy, and if he joined forces with Yuan Shu, wouldn't he be attacked from both sides, he had already thought about treating Zhen Rong as an outcast!

But Zhang Zhao's answer made Liu Lan completely relieved, Liu Lan not only took the opportunity to make things difficult, but even let Zhen Rong go, which shows that she attaches great importance to the alliance between the two families, which makes her sincerely admire Liu Lan's mind.

And Zhang Zhao also took out Liu Lan's alliance book and handwriting at the same time as Liu Miao loosened his mouth, but after reading the letter, Liu Miao stamped a big seal on the alliance book, and the two families completely formed an alliance. (To be continued.) )
