Chapter 372, Interests First
"Lord, are you joking?"
Zhang Zhao's eyes widened, looking at Lu Zhuo in disbelief, seeing Lu Zhuo shaking his head, his expression was very serious, Zhang Zhao hurriedly shook his head and said, "This matter is categorical, how can such a treasure be given to others, not to mention, that Yuan Shu is short-sighted and has an improper heart, if it is not for the assistance of the tiger Sun Jian, Yuan Shu is an incompetent person, and there is no need to worry." ”
Chen Deng pondered for a while, but he was impressed by Lu Zhuo, although the jade seal was priceless, but the so-called puppet was innocent and guilty.
The jade seal stayed in Xuzhou, once it was known, it would inevitably attract disaster, and it would be useless to stay.
And giving it to Yuan Shu can not only make Yuan Shu no longer hostile to Xuzhou, but also fuel Yuan Shu's ambitions, if he goes further and tries to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, it will just direct Cao Cao's anger to Huainan.
Thinking about the key to it, Chen Deng stood up and said with a smile, "Lord, this jade seal, there is nothing to be reluctant to, the things that are sent out cannot be taken back in the future, since the lord has made a decision, Chen Deng is willing to ask for an order to send an envoy to Huainan." ”
Zhang Zhao looked at Chen Deng with a surprised face, and flicked his sleeves angrily, "Yuanlong, you are confused, if this jade seal falls into the hands of Yuan Shu, I am afraid it will be difficult to get it back, don't forget, once this thing is in the world, all the princes will definitely fight for it, not to mention anything else, Cao Cao of Yanzhou alone will not spare Yuan Shu." ”
Chen Deng squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Isn't this very good, if Cao Cao fights with Yuan Shu, we just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, why not do it." ”
The plan has been decided, Chen Deng looked at Lu Zhuo, and said, "Lord, if Ji and Kuai Yue come to see you, you will promise them, whether it is Jizhou or Jingzhou, we will help both of them, but we are not soldiers, but the jade seal of the country." ”
Lu Zhuo nodded, he knew what Chen Deng meant, the benefits of the two families, don't refuse, once the jade seal is given to Yuan Shu, Chen Deng is very sure to instigate Yuan Shu to be the emperor, as long as Yuan Shu is called the emperor, it is equivalent to Lu Zhuo sending troops to help Jingzhou and Jizhou at the same time.
After the arrangement was suspended, Chen Deng took the jade seal to say goodbye to Lu Zhuo and left the state pastor's mansion, until Chen Deng disappeared in front of his eyes, Zhang Zhao still did not retract his gaze for a long time, as Zhang Zhao, who was old and serious, he did not approve of Lu Zhuo and Chen Deng's ideas.
Lu Zhuo persuaded, "Zibu, don't worry, I will definitely be able to get the jade seal back intact." ”
"It's hard, it's hard......"
Zhang Zhao seemed to have lost his beloved baby, hanging his head and sighing, looking like he couldn't give up.
After sending Zhang Zhao away, seeing that the sun had risen to the middle of the sky, Lu Zhuo was just about to let people prepare a meal, and suddenly, someone came to report that Feng Ji was coming!
Since Kuai Yue got Zhuge Zhao here, Feng Ji has been anxious like an ant on a hot pot, although Lu Zhuo has a good relationship with Yuan Shao, and he also sent troops to help Jizhou a few years ago, and the two families have worked together to break the enemy side by side, and the relationship is harmonious and the alliance is stable.
However, at this time, at that time, now Lu Zhuo and the Kuai family have almost become a family, Lu Zhuo married Zhuge Ling, and Zhuge Zhao married Kuai Qi, counting, the two families are brothers-in-law, once this woman is involved, Lu Zhuo is a newlywed Yan'er, Feng Ji is very worried that his ears will be soft, so he agreed to Kuai Yue's request.
"Please!"
Lu Zhuo hurriedly waved his hand and ordered his subordinates, and after a short time, Feng Ji was brought into the living room by the grassroots.
"Yuantu, I haven't seen you for many days, it's always been good?"
Seeing Feng Ji, Lu Zhuo hurriedly motioned for him to sit down, Zhuge Jin hurriedly poured tea and water, and as soon as Feng Ji fell, his butt stood up without waiting for it to be hot.
"Wen Zhuo, don't hide it, 100,000 are in a hurry, now Jizhou is being attacked on all sides, Cao Cao is under the banner of Shuntian and rebelling, contacting Lu Bu and Liu Bei to send troops at the same time, Zhang Yan of Montenegro is also not at ease, my Jizhou has been hit by war, and the vitality has not yet recovered, and now I am unable to deal with the four strong enemies at the same time, Wen Zhuo, my lips are dead and my teeth are cold, and I hope to send troops to rescue them as soon as possible."
"Yuan Tu, what is this talking about, Ben Chu and I are brothers, his business is my business, Jizhou is in trouble, how can I sit idly by!"
Lu Zhuo stood up violently, and said sonorously and powerfully, and he listened to Ji Ji's heart with joy, and his heart was also a lot more settled.
However, Lu Zhuo suddenly changed his words, "Hey... Yuan Tu, you also know, I just returned from Jizhou a few years ago, and I fought hard in Qingzhou for a month, the soldiers were injured and tired, and the food and grass were not enough, so it was difficult to rush the army..."
As he spoke, Lu Zhuo sighed again and again, and after a while, the sadness on his face filled his forehead.
He didn't mean to complain, what he just said was the truth, he just returned from Jizhou a year ago, it was icy and snowy, and it was cold, without waiting for the soldiers to take a breath, he fought in Qingzhou for more than a month, can Lu Zhuo not feel sorry for his soldiers?
It is impossible for Yuan Shao to send someone to be on call himself, in that case, Lu Zhuo will not take the soldiers below seriously.
Feng Ji nodded again and again, "What Wen Zhuo said is reasonable, I also know that it is really difficult for you to send troops in a hurry, in this way, just like last year, we Jizhou will bear the grain and grass, in addition, we will also pay for the condolences and pensions of the soldiers, what do you think of the 300 million money?" ”
Feng Ji privately got Yuan Shao's instructions, as long as Lu Zhuo agreed to send troops, as long as the request was not too excessive, Jizhou would try his best to meet it.
"Three hundred million?"
Lu Zhuo shook his head, "Yuantu, is it a little less, Jizhou has a lot of land, grain and grass are like mountains, the land is fertile, and businessmen gather ......"
Yes, Feng Ji just wanted to scold his mother: "Isn't this nonsense, Jizhou's territory is good, but, since Yuan Shao occupied it, this battle has not stopped, how much savings can be saved, no matter how much money you have, you can't stand the toss, the war, it's all about money!" ”
But he couldn't say this, and if he complained to Lu Zhuo, it would be too insincere.
After some 'bargaining', Feng Jiyi gritted his teeth and finally agreed to come up with 600 million yuan, and immediately prepare, once the money and food are in place, Lu Zhuo will immediately send troops.
After sending Feng Ji away, it didn't take long for Kuai Yue to come, and Kuai Qi was behind him.
"Brother Xenodu, please take a seat, please take a seat!"
As soon as they met, although they were close, Lu Zhuo didn't lower his seniority, he really wanted to pick up his seniority, he and Kuai Qi were the same generation, Kuai Qi married Zhuge Zhao, he married Zhuge Ling, so if you count it, Kuai Yue naturally became his elder.
Of course, Lu Zhuo is a prince who governs the huge Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and there is no need to lower his price in front of Kuai Yue, even if it is Liu Biao, Lu Zhuo does not have to be too humble.
In the final analysis, the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected, which is the eternal iron rule of the conquest in troubled times.
Whoever has the strength has the status!
"What? I haven't eaten yet, it's better to be like this, there are just no outsiders, and it's rare for the different brothers to come to Xuzhou to enjoy the fun, and Zhuo Zidang is a little bit of the friendship of the landlord. ”
