Chapter 3 Bargaining
Xi Zhicai coughed, now it's time for him to appear, as a veteran military advisor in Liaodong, he has been famous all over the world over the years, and no one dares to despise him.
Xi Zhicai said: "Brother, settle accounts." The lord of my family is also a prince, and he does not represent an individual, but the Liaodong Military Group. To unify Jiangdong and conquer all counties, our Liaodong soldiers will inevitably have many casualties. So, whose murmur is the land that has been laid? Wen Hou won't wipe out the sacrifice of the Liaodong soldiers with a word of help, right? ”
Everyone knows that Xi Zhi is the brother of Gongsun Kang and his minister of the humerus. So no one rebuked him for being too talkative. Lu Bu didn't take care of this matter in the first place, and with a word of help, he wanted 30,000 Liaodong soldiers to help him fight for two years?
Yu flipped the round and said: "Since it is a joint dispatch of troops by the two families, of course, they must both have interests in order to cooperate for a long time." I don't know what interests Liaodong needs? ”
Xun You shook the feather fan, he pretended to be B and went to Jiangdong, a few years earlier than Zhuge Liang. He said: "My father-in-law is interested in expanding overseas territory, and he does not care about the counties in Jiangdong. If we have to contribute to Liaodong, we might as well assign Huiji County to us as a base for entering overseas. How about the other four counties in Jiangdong, all of which are warm? ”
In this era, Huiji County was far less prosperous than Danyang County, Lujiang County, and Yuzhang County. Taking one Huiji County for three more prosperous counties, any of which far surpasses Huiji County, it is obvious that Lu Bu has taken a big advantage.
But Gu Yong was very sober, he said: "We already hold Huiji County in our hands, and the other three counties are still on paper, why don't we wait to take down those three counties, and then we will hand over Huiji County to Liaodong?" ”
Xi Zhicai played the role of a black face, and he said unceremoniously: "I have 30,000 Liaodong soldiers, I want to eat and drink, can you provide free military funds in the past two years?" ”
Obviously, this is impossible, Lu Bu has been more than 30,000 soldiers in the past two years, and the reason why he does not dare to expand his recruitment is that he cannot afford to raise more soldiers.
Seeing that everyone didn't answer, Xi Zhicai continued: "Since you can't provide it, we must have a place to recuperate, right?" If everything is transported from Liaodong, do you think Liaodong can afford to support it? ”
Obviously, this is impossible, if Liaodong can provide for it, then what else does Lu Bu need to do? Liaodong itself unified Jiangdong.
It was inconvenient for Lu Bu and Gongsun Kang to come forward, so they could only bargain with their subordinates. Obviously, Xun You and Xi Zhicai's combat effectiveness is stronger than that of Gu Yong and Yu Tuo.
Gu Yong saw that he was not an opponent, so he said: "This matter is very important, we need to discuss it carefully." I won't discuss it today, Wen Hou has already arranged a feast, and the wine and food will not taste good if it is cold. ”
So everyone went out to the feast, and the argument came to an end.
After the banquet, everyone went back to the camp to discuss countermeasures.
Gongsun Kang got together in this regard, and Xun You said: "If we really participate in the reunification of Jiangdong, then we must control the speed of the war, not too fast." It should be carried out in parallel with our overseas frontiers. ”
Gongsun Kang and Xi Zhicai are both smart people, and as soon as Xun You said it, everyone understood what he meant. is nothing more than afraid that Lu Bu will turn his face and not recognize people, and when the overseas territory development is completed, then Liaodong will have a way out, and it will not be in vain.
Xi Zhicai said: "It's best to fight separately, the two families use troops together, there are many contradictions, and it is difficult to integrate." ”
At the same time, Lu Bu and the others were also in a meeting.
Yu Chuan made a suggestion, he said: "Let the eldest lady come forward, blow the pillow wind, and let the Liaodong soldiers give us their lives." ”
Gu Yong smiled bitterly: "It's no problem for them to help us fight one or two battles, but they want to help us unify Liaodong and stay in Jiangdong for three years." Can they really be allowed to transport grain and grass supplies from Liaodong every month? Do you think they might bring their own dry food for three years? ”
Lu Bu said disapprenously: "Why is it impossible? ”
Gu Yong said: "With the strength of Liaodong, if they are willing to make such a big contribution, they can eliminate Cao Cao or Yuan Shao in three years." If they were really that idiotic, would they be in the current situation? ”
He further explained: "Wen Hou, your ambition is not in the world, you just want to be in Jiangdong." Champion Hou's ambition is not only to unify the world, but also to unify overseas. Do you think Champion Hou will give up his ambition and just help you unify the small Jiangdong? ”
Lu Bu and Gao Shun still didn't understand, but Yu Pan understood. He confessed his mistake and said, "I was wrong. Wen Hou ruled a few more counties, and he was only more comfortable; But the champion Hou is the one who wants to unify the world, and the eldest lady is also the one who wants to be a mother. If you give up the grace of the eldest lady's descendants for hundreds of years in order to be comfortable for a short time, it is indeed a big loss because of a small one. ”
Lu Bu and Gao Shun understood, and they were speechless. If it wasn't for the comfort he had thought about, the correct attitude should be to give Jiangdong to the champion Hou, so that after Gongsun Kang unifies the world, the fief given to Lu Lingqi's son may be greater than Jiangdong's territory. As long as the Gongsun Dynasty does not fall, Lu Lingqi's descendants can continue the throne and fiefdom forever, just like Liu Bang's descendants.
Wei Xu was very understanding, and he comforted Lu Bu: "No one can say what will happen in the future, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are not ordinary people, and it is still impossible to say who will unify the world." We have a piece of land in our hands, and it is better to be more down-to-earth than to worry about others. ”
Wei Xu is Lu Bu's brother-in-law, so he can speak from his own standpoint. Lu Bu was also very useful when he listened.
In this way, the two sides held a meeting independently, but neither side could come up with a good idea that the other side would approve of.
Gongsun Kang repaired in Wu County for a few days, replenished some fresh water, and purchased some consumed materials in the market, so he took the initiative to say goodbye.
Gongsun Kang said: "Let's go to a few overseas islands first, and Lingqi will stay here first." When we return in a few months, we will continue to discuss the issue of reunifying Jiangdong. ”
Lu Bu and Gu Yong also felt that this was a good idea, and it was better than everyone staying here.
Although Lu Lingqi wants to go overseas with her husband, she and her parents have just gotten together, and they are even more reluctant to separate. So there are only thousands of instructions to let Gongsun Kang take care of himself.
