Chapter 518: The Land of Two Counties
"Oh, it's Lord Xu, please take a seat." Lu Bu glanced up at Xu You, and then set his eyes on the letter on the table, Xu You's artificiality, he naturally saw it, since Xu You wanted this, he had to make Xu You more active.
Now that Zhang Liao led the army near Wei County, Yuan Shao should be most anxious, as long as Zhang Yan can make great progress in Jizhou, even if Yuan Shao agrees to give up the two counties of Youzhou, he will not let the state army retreat so easily.
Jizhou's heritage is too rich, having such a neighbor by his side will always give people a sense of unease, as long as there is an opportunity to eradicate Yuan Shao, Lu Bu will not miss it.
For a long time, seeing that Lu Bu did not respond, and the generals in the army hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army from time to time, and then Jia Xu whispered some instructions, he left in a hurry, Xu You couldn't sit still, judging from the movement in the Bingzhou army, he had a strong uneasiness.
"A few days ago, I told the Marquis of Jin about it......" Xu You still couldn't hold back and asked out loud.
Lu Bu glanced at Xu You with a confused expression, "What's the matter?" ”
Xu You felt a little stuffy in his chest, and the green tendons on his forehead were also slightly raised, Lu Bu didn't take such an important matter as ceding Zhuo County and Guangyang County to heart, and Lu Bu's expression didn't seem to be fake.
"If Lord Xu has nothing to do, go back to his residence first, Ben Hou has something important to deal with, Wen He, inform the generals in the army, and all go to the big tent." Lu Budao.
"Whoa!" Jia Xu arched his hand.
"The generals in the army are going to the big tent? What is Lu Bu going to do? Xu You had a question in his heart, and from Lu Bu's words, he faintly felt that something was wrong, could it be that Lu Bu was going to attack Jizhou? Even if there were scouts from the Merge State Army in Jizhou, it would be impossible for Lu Bu to get any news so quickly, if it was the Black Mountain Army, then it would be even more dangerous.
Once Lu Bu was allowed to attack Jizhou, it would be difficult to drive it out.
"Didn't the Marquis of Jin forget to negotiate with the lowly post a few days ago about merging the state and the Jizhou strike?" Xu You reminded.
Lu Bu showed a look of sudden realization, "It turned out to be this matter, Ben Hou almost forgot, Ben Hou got the news from Jizhou last night, and he has been busy so far." ”
Xu You's heart was even more flustered, the news from Jizhou, it seems that Lu Bu really knew something, otherwise why did he enter the army, and felt that the atmosphere in the army was a little dignified.
"Marquis of Jin, what about the humble confession?" Xu Youdao said that the generals in the army are afraid that they will reach the big tent, and if Lu Bu decides to send troops, the price paid by Jizhou will be even greater.
Lu Bu said with a smile: "Lord Xu, this matter is not so urgent, after Rong Benhou has dealt with the affairs in the army, he will order someone to inform Lord Xu." ”
Xu You suddenly became anxious, and arched his hand: "Marquis of Jin, the Jizhou army attacked the Marquis of Jin first, and the Marquis of Ye was also bewitched by the Hanoi family, and now the people of the family who bewitched the Marquis of Ye have been executed, if the Marquis of Jin is willing to quit the army, Jizhou is willing to cede Guangyang County and Zhuo County." ”
Jia Xu arched his hand and said: "Lord, now Jizhou is in danger, it is the time for the state army to show its strength, Jizhou is rich, if you can get it, why worry about money and food when the army goes out in the future, Zhuo County and Guangyang County are located in Youzhou, although Guangyang is a state governance, it is also a long-term war, how can Jizhou be prosperous." ”
Xu You was even more sure that the state army wanted to attack Jizhou, "Jin Hou thinks twice, soldiers are a big deal, how can they move, Jizhou is newly defeated, but there are tens of thousands of warriors, the two armies are fighting, but it is the Montenegrin army that takes advantage." ”
"I have heard that Yecheng is prosperous, and Zhang Yan of the Montenegrin Army also led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to capture Yecheng in the past, so can't the state army break through Yecheng?" Jia Xu asked.
"The military advisor misunderstood, the meaning of the humble position is that the Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Ye are both Han courtiers, and they should join hands to retire the remnants of the Yellow Turban." Xu You hurriedly explained, he was also thinking about the rhetoric in his mind, Lu Bu was really going to move the army, and he suddenly felt that the words he had prepared last night were useless.
Originally, I wanted to exchange the land of two counties for merging the state and Jizhou to strike peace, Guangyang County is the state governance of Youzhou, and the state governance has a great influence on a state, even if Lu Bu listed Li Su as the pastor of Youzhou, the state governance is now in the hands of the Jizhou army, as if it is a little unworthy of the name.
The land of these two counties was exchanged for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Jizhou army, and it was given to the state, and Xu You also thought of a rhetoric, so that Lu Bu would not only withdraw from the army, but also bear the favor of Jizhou and release Yan Liang.
"If Lord Xu is fine, let's leave first." Lu Budao.
Xu You's face was bitter, and he saluted again: "The Marquis of Jin and the Marquis of Ye used to crusade against the traitor Dong Zhuo together, but they were the people of the Han family, and everyone who was left behind in the Yellow Turban was punished, and I hope that the Marquis of Jin can look at the feelings of the past and make peace with Jizhou." ”
Seeing Lu Bu's contemplative expression, Xu You continued: "The Marquis of Jin crusaded against the traitors Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shu, and in the past, he led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo's old thief, and led the flying cavalry to sweep Xianbei, and he was actually the number one military general in the world......"
Xu You also said it nicely.
Lu Bu patiently listened to Xu You's flattery, not to mention, it sounded extremely comfortable to say these words from the mouth of the enemy.
"Ye Hou may have been bewitched by the villain, so he sent troops to the Yin City, since there are Yellow Turban remnants in Jizhou, Ben Hou should discuss with Ye Hou." Lu Bu is colorful.
"Marquis of Jin Gaoyi!" Xu You arched his hand and said: "After returning to Jizhou, I will definitely explain it to Ye Hou." ”
"Think twice." Jia Xu hurriedly persuaded.
Seeing this, Xu You could only be secretly anxious, after all, Jia Xu's status in Bingzhou was there.
"But thousands of soldiers died on the battlefield, and the cession of Guangyang County and Zhuo County to Bingzhou is also an explanation to the soldiers of Bingzhou." Lu Bu changed his words.
"As it should be, as it should be." Xu Yulian agreed.
"After the state army is stationed in Guangyang County and Zhuo County, Ben Hou will lead the troops and leave." Lu Bu said slowly.
Xu You's face was embarrassed, "If the Marquis of Jin strikes now, Jizhou will give up Guangyang and Zhuo County, not that Marquis Ye can't trust Marquis Jin, but that the land of the two counties is very important." ”
Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said: "You can give up Zhuojun first, and after Benhou retreats, then give up Guangyang." ”
"Thank you, Marquis Jin." Xu You's face was happy, just thinking of Yan Liang who was still imprisoned, his expression was a little uncomfortable, he was originally thinking of exchanging the land of the two counties for the withdrawal of troops and Yan Liang, but he didn't expect to complete just a "Marquis of Jin, General Yan Liang of Jizhou attacked Bingzhou, the crime is unforgivable, but Jizhou is in danger at this time, I don't know if the Marquis of Jin can do it?" ”
Lu Bu snorted coldly: "Yan Liang didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, so he led his troops to sneak attack Dangyin, and he should be killed to comfort the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army who died on the battlefield." ”
"If the Marquis of Jin can release Yan Liang, Jizhou is willing to give 50,000 stones of grain and grass to the Bingzhou army, and it is good to form an alliance with the Bingzhou forever." Xu Youdao.
Ji Ling, who had just walked into the big tent, heard Xu You's words, but said in a cold voice: "Could it be that Yan Liang's head is worth 50,000 stones of grain and grass?" ”
Seeing Lu Bu's signal, Jia Xu said: "Lord Xu, at this time, Jizhou is in danger, the lord is righteous, and he is willing to strike the army, but if Yan Liang is released, Jizhou needs to give 200,000 stone of grain and grass to the Bingzhou army." ”
