Zhang Yu didn't expect Cao Cao to have this idea, and he actually wanted to destroy Lu Bu.

However, it can also be understood that there are many strong enemies around Cao Cao, and it is too much of a threat not to kill one first.

And the biggest threat is Yuan Shao, Cao Cao can't beat it, so he will kill the second.

Xuzhou, a wealthy state, with a fierce general like Lu Bu and a wise man like Chen Gong, the threat is too great.

Zhang Yu's decision is definitely not something that Cao Cao can easily refuse, and he has to consider what conditions he wants, Zhang Yu's strength is already strong and can influence the situation of a battle.

The three of them talked for more than three hours and went through all the details.

In the evening, Guo Jia went to see Cheng Yu.

"Mr. Zhongde, welcome to Jiangdong." Guo Jia said.

"You're welcome, it's really an honor to meet Mr. Fengxiao." Cheng Yu was also polite.

After the two exchanged polite words again, Cheng Yu said: "I want to meet our eldest son tomorrow, and ask Mr. Fengxiao to tell Master Zhang for convenience." ”

"It doesn't have to be like this, you can go and you can make up your mind about it." Guo Jia said with a smile.

Cheng Yu was a little embarrassed, this Jiangdong actually lowered Cao Ang's place a few levels.

If this matter goes through Zhang Yu, it will be different, it proves that Cao Ang has a high status, but Zhang Yu is so careless, a Guo Jia can decide casually.

Although Guo Jia's status in Jiangdong is not low, because of his work, Guo Jia was not given too high an official position.

Anyway, let Zhang Zhao decide, on the bright side, this Zhang Zhao is the No. 2 person in Jiangdong.

In fact, Zhang Zhao's status is indeed higher than Guo Jia, Zhang Zhao manages the entire Jiangdong affairs, and ensures the logistics of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Cheng Yu is very painful, but there is no way, people let you see Cao Ang, what do you want.

Cheng Yu skipped this little unpleasantness, and then said: "Our two families jointly attack Xuzhou and divide Xuzhou equally, what does Master Zhang mean?" ”

"You can fight, just divide it evenly." Guo Jia said.

Cheng Yu was happy in his heart, but his face became serious, and he frowned slightly and said: "It's already fair to divide Xuzhou equally, if you want more, then you have to pay more." ”

Guo Jia knew that Cheng Yu had misunderstood, thinking that Zhang Yu was asking for more territory, and Zhang Yu gave the impression that he was insatiable.

Guo Jia was also happy in his heart, and said calmly: "Well, if you want more territory, you have to pay more, we only need Guangling County, and we don't want anything else, we can compensate in other ways, in addition, my lord said, the thief is not empty, how can he put it back in vain if he catches the Xiahou brothers." ”

Cheng Yu almost vomited blood, he held back his big move and wanted to bargain with Guo Jia, and then pretended to back down again and again, giving up more territory to Zhang Yu, but as a result, Zhang Yu didn't want the territory, just a Guangling County.

This Cheng Yu was extremely depressed, thinking that the other party would open his mouth widely, but as a result, people only needed a small mouthful.

In addition, what does it mean that thieves do not go empty, do you have such a statement about yourself?

Cheng Yu would never agree to ransom people.

Ransom, that is, treating the Xiahou brothers as goods and prisoners, which traumatized the hearts of the two brothers.

But Zhang Yu obviously wanted money.

Seeing that Cheng Yu's face changed several times in succession, Guo Jia was secretly refreshed, and then said: "You don't need to redeem people, but the war is imminent, our army is short of food and grass, and Cao Gongcai is rich, so it is also appropriate to support us." ”

Cheng Yu instantly had a toothache, and when it came to the lack of grain and grass in Jiangdong, Guo Jia didn't feel blushing.

Cheng Yu knew that this was the basis for the negotiation, and Jiangdong could let them redeem the people in another way, but the money could not be less.

Cheng Yu didn't entangle after understanding, and directly began to talk about the price.

"Okay, seven million deals, someone will send it to Jiangdong in a few days." After some fighting, the price of seven million was finally agreed.

Seven million redeemed the Xiahou brothers, in the name of supporting Jiangdong grain and grass.

This does not include Cao Ang, the price of this Cao Ang is probably more expensive.

Although Cheng Yu was aggrieved, he couldn't help it, who told him that if he lost the war, he had to admit it if he lost.

Cheng Yu endured it, and then said, "I don't know how many soldiers and horses Lord Zhang is willing to send?" ”

"This is not in a hurry, we will discuss it later, my lord has one more condition."

Cheng Yu was not in a hurry after hearing this, knowing that Zhang Yu didn't want too much territory, then he would definitely ask for other things.

"Mr. Fengxiao, if you have any conditions, just say it." Cheng Yu said.

Guo Jia smiled nonchalantly, then picked up the tea on the table and drank it.

Cheng Yu looked a little nervous at this time, and had a hunch that there would be changes in the negotiation process, and I am afraid it would not be so easy to solve.

Sure enough, Guo Jia put down the tea and said: "Wen Hou Zhiwei, my lord is also jealous, so my lord wants to invite Yuan Shao and Yuan Alliance to join in order to strengthen our momentum." ”

"Impossible."

Cheng Yu slapped the table and shouted.

Guo Jia seemed to have expected Cheng Yu's reaction, so he was very calm, and still sat with a light smile.

Cheng Yu sat down slowly, his heart fluctuating.

The blow was too big.

The proposal for Cao Cao to join Zhang Yu to attack Lu Bu was proposed by Cheng Yu, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

First, to remove Lu Bu's hidden danger, although Zhang Yu's danger is greater than Lu Bu's, but the two sides will fight, Zhang Yu will always lose, and he will always have to rest for a while.

The second is to let Zhang Yu get close to Qingzhou.

Once Zhang Yu obtains a large amount of land in Xuzhou and is close to Qingzhou, Yuan Shao will definitely be the most anxious at that time.

Yuan Shao was in a hurry, so he would naturally share a lot of pressure for Cao Cao and let Yuan Shao compete with Zhang Yu, so that Cao Cao could reduce the pressure on both Yuan Shao and Zhang Yu at the same time.

I didn't expect his plan to be seen through, so he didn't want so much territory, so as to avoid directly impacting Yuan Shao.

The most important thing is that Zhang Yu directly wants to introduce Yuan Shao in.

At that time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao competed for Xuzhou, which Cao Cao did not want to see.

"Mr. Fengxiao, Xuzhou is a piece of fat, you and I can divide it, why let others fight for it." Cheng Yu said.

Guo Jia still said slowly: "Mr. Zhongde, they are all smart people, it's not interesting to say this, you and I both have their own needs, it's good to be able to meet the conditions, but if you can't, when you start a war, we'll grab it ourselves." ”

Guo Jia's semi-threatening words calmed Cheng Yu down.

If he didn't unite with Zhang Yu, it would be difficult for Cao Cao to defeat Xuzhou by himself, because Zhang Yu would make trouble if he made it clear.

Cheng Yu lamented in his heart, I'm afraid there will be no result this time.

"This matter cannot be decided, and it can only be decided after reporting to the lord." Cheng Yu said.

Guo Jia also expected it and politely said goodbye and left.

Cheng Yu pondered in the courtyard where he lived, and then called a few entourage, and then said a long thing.

Cheng Yu naturally couldn't rush back by himself and come over again, the distance was far away, he was a scribe, he didn't know how much time he would have to delay, and he couldn't write a letter, otherwise it would be bad if the letter was intercepted by others.
