Chapter 1087: Give up Xiangyang
Zhang Yu made significant progress, and the soldiers pointed directly at Changsha, which Cao Cao had been anxious for a while.
This time, the messenger he sent to Shuchuan finally arrived.
When his envoy Man Pang saw Liu Bei, this Liu Bei was already kind and modest.
Liu Bei has become the original Uncle Liu Huang, but now it seems that he is so hypocritical.
"Lord Wang, congratulations on winning Shuchuan and becoming the king of Shu." Man Pang saluted Liu Bei first.
Liu Bei was actually not very satisfied with the King of Shu, and he was already preparing to be the emperor.
Everyone else is called the emperor, how can he be a king.
However, Liu Bei didn't show it at all.
"The messenger comes, be a good hospitality, I have prepared a banquet tonight, and I must have a few drinks." Liu Bei said.
Man Pang nodded and said, "Although I am tired from the journey, there are some urgent things, so let's talk about it first, and discuss it in the evening." ”
Liu Bei nodded and didn't answer anything.
Man Pang said: "Zhang Yu is powerful, there is no one to stop, although the King of Shu is safe, but if Zhang Yu defeats Sun Ce, and then defeats my lord and Cai Mao, then the King of Shu may not even have a chance to be in a corner of peace." ”
"Do you want this king to go out of Shuchuan to deal with Zhang Yu with you?" Liu Bei asked.
Man Pang shook his head and said: "We want Xiangyang, and we also ask the King of Shu to consider giving Xiangyang and other places to Cai Mao." ”
"Impossible." Liu Bei changed his face and immediately refused.
Man Pang was not surprised at all, and continued: "Please also ask the King of Shu to go back and think about it." ”
Liu Bei's eyes flickered, and then he left without saying a word.
After Liu Bei left, he immediately went to find Pang Tong.
"Shi Yuan, how about this Manpang proposal? That Xiangyang is a big city, but the essence of Jingzhou is located, there are many people, and the wealth is amazing. Liu Bei said.
Pang Tong said: "Lord, what we have to do now is to cultivate and recuperate, develop ourselves according to Shuchuan, and find opportunities to fight in the future." ”
"But Zhang Yu is too strong, so strong that no one can control him, the three princes outside, Sun Ce, Cai Mao, and Cao Cao, are facing each other alone, none of them are opponents, they can only protect themselves by uniting, but our Xiangyang is in the middle, they take too much care and dare not cooperate."
Liu Bei's face changed slightly, this Pang Tong also agreed to let Xiangyang out, to be honest, Liu Bei was very reluctant.
Seeing Liu Bei's face, Pang Tong guessed something, and then said: "Lord, don't be reluctant, with them, we can stop Zhang Yu and buy us enough time, and we will definitely be able to meet the source left and right during this time, Cai Mao and Cao Cao dare not offend us, so as not to suffer from the enemy." ”
"Of course, there are conditions for us to give up Xiangyang, and we must make them pay a relatively high price, and we will definitely not give it to them in vain."
Liu Bei's face only got better now, if Cao Cao and Cai Mao collapsed in advance, and they didn't have much strength to deal with Zhang Yu now.
"The king understands what the gentleman means, but what do we want?"
"Money, a lot of money, we have just taken Shuchuan now, we must try our best to develop the people's livelihood, this requires huge funds, only when we develop, we are qualified to form a division with the princes outside." Pang Tong said.
"Okay, but we have to hand over Xiangyang slowly, there are a lot of people and wealth in this Xiangyang, and we can't just leave it for nothing."
Pang Tong didn't continue to say anything, the current Liu Bei may be poor and afraid, a little childish, let Cai Mao and Cao Cao unite as soon as possible, and they can run in with each other Zhang Yu as soon as possible.
But Pang Tong didn't say it, so according to Liu Bei's meaning, he had to give Liu Bei a little face.
So, that night, Liu Bei and Man Pang had a good talk.
They asked for 300 million dollars, half of which were paid in the first year, and then in five years.
A big sum of 300 million is not a small amount, and it is obviously very difficult for the two families to come up with so much.
And it won't be handed over to Xiangyang until three months later, and it is obvious that he wants to loot it again when he leaves.
Man Pang bargained several times to no avail, and he could only ask his entourage to report the situation back.
A big city, Xiangyang is not expensive to sell for 300 million yuan, but it also depends on when.
This transaction has great benefits for Liu Bei, strategically Liu Bei benefits the most, but Liu Bei has to extort another amount of money.
Cao Cao was furious when he received the news.
"This Liu Bei was nothing back then, but now it's like this." Cao Cao scolded and scolded a lot of ugly words.
His subordinates are also very helpless, this Liu Bei is really too much.
Cao Cao said angrily: "Why don't we send troops with Cai Mao, and we can easily take Xiangyang without giving a penny." ”
Obviously, his subordinates also knew that Cao Cao was angry.
But helpless.
Cao Ang said: "Father, the son feels that this money must be given by Cai Mao, after all, the city was handed over to him, and we can help with a small part to show our sincerity." ”
"Erchen suggested that Cai Mao use the goods to give money, and pay Liu Bei with liquor, tea, etc., so that it is easy to negotiate after all."
Cao Ang's suggestion was approved by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao discussed it with others and sent the news to Man Pang and Jia Xu respectively.
Jia Xu has been at Cai Mao's, and the two have talked twice.
Jia Xu had direct insight into people's hearts, and a few words made Cai Mao dare not act rashly.
But when Cai Mao knew Liu Bei's conditions, he immediately jumped like thunder.
"Liu Bei is delusional, Lao Tzu has a good relationship with Zhang Yu, and most of them will surrender to him if they can't do it, and they can still live a rich life."
Cai Mao was angry, after this Liu Bei arrived in Shuchuan, he thought that he was someone, and he dared to do this.
Cai Mao scolded and disagreed with these conditions.
Jia Xu appeased a few words, and then said: "Lord Cai, Zhang Yu's ambition to unify the world has nothing to talk about, if you want to divide the territory, continue to be the prince or even the emperor, you can only cooperate." ”
Cai Mao calmed down, but still said: "Okay, but Liu Bei's conditions are not agreed to by the king, it's a big deal that we will directly use force and take Xiangyang, I expect that Liu Bei will not have much strength to fight." ”
Attacking Shuchuan was endless, but it was not so simple for Shuchuan to fight and agree.
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Okay, I can write to my lord, and we can continue to talk about this matter." ”
The three parties exchanged letters quickly, and in the end they all retreated.
Pay Liu Bei 200 million yuan, 5,000 cash in the first year, the rest with goods, and the other 100 million in three years, and Xiangyang, Liu Bei can take away the family or army that voluntarily goes with him, but he is not allowed to force it, let alone rob, and he must leave in two months.
The three parties compromised, Liu Bei sold Xiangyang, and Cai Mao quickly occupied Xiangyang.
This Xiangyang family still left a lot, because these families had a grudge against Cai Mao before, and they didn't dare to stay.
In this way, the three-way transaction was completed, and the purpose was very meditative, to deal with Zhang Yu together.
