Chapter 536: Big Fool?
On the way, Xu Yu thought happily that he would definitely be able to make a great contribution this time.
"Hurry, hurry." Xu You urged the carriage to hurry up, not caring about the bumps on the road at all.
When he rushed back, it was already night, and Xu You immediately went to find Yuan Shao, not caring about the fatigue of the journey at all.
"Ben Chu, Ben Chu, I've done a great job for you." As soon as he entered the courtyard where Yuan Shao lived, Xu You shouted.
Fortunately, it was just night, and Yuan Shao did not rest. Although he was displeased, he still came out to see Xu You.
I saw Xu You in the hall, and at this time Xu You crossed his legs, drank tea, and had a smile on his face.
Yuan Shao was unhappy in his heart, but his face didn't show it, he sat down and said lightly: "Why did you come back so early?" Everything is done? ”
Xu You frowned proudly, and then said: "It's only an hour to buy equipment, and there is something important to discuss with Benchu when I hurry back." ”
Yuan Shao frowned, this buying equipment is a big deal right now, how can it be a small thing.
Yuan Shao said with some displeasure: "Ziyuan, how can this purchase of equipment be a trivial matter?" ”
Seeing that Yuan Shao was unhappy, and Xu You continued to be proud, he said: "The equipment has been negotiated, as long as Ben Chu agrees, there are other bigger things to tell Ben Chu." ”
As soon as Yuan Shao heard that the equipment matter had been negotiated, he didn't blame Xu You, but asked, "So what is it?" ”
Xu You said: "At the beginning, after I entered Zhang Yu's camp, I carefully observed, and inquired in many ways, and spent a lot of money to buy many people, and learned a news. ”
Yuan Shao stroked his beard and didn't speak, Xu You continued: "Originally, as long as we had money and bought enough equipment, then Zhang Yu would take off the equipment on active duty. ”
Yuan Shao nodded, didn't react much, thought about it and then said, "What?" Let me buy the old equipment that Zhang Yu used. ”
Xu You shook his head and said, "Originally, why don't you understand?" This is news that I have worked so hard to get, and at great cost. ”
Xu You began to show off and complained, but Yuan Shao really didn't react.
"Tell me, then, what's the good of that?"
"Originally, now that our two sides are gathering heavy troops here, the consumption is huge, if Zhang Yu's army takes off its equipment, then there will be no threat to us, they can only retreat, otherwise it will be very dangerous." Xu Yu said.
"Hmm." Yuan Shao nodded heavily and said, "Okay, if this is the case, our army can also withdraw part of it smoothly." ”
"Haha, originally, how, this is the news that I spent a lot of money to get." Xu You said with a smug laugh.
Yuan Shao glanced at Xu You meaningfully and said, "If this matter can be done, there will be a lot of rewards." ”
What Xu You was waiting for was Yuan Shao's words, otherwise he would not have rushed back in such a hurry.
Yuan Shao asked again: "How many weapons and equipment do we need to buy?" ”
Xu You silently calculated in his heart that if he wanted to get greater credit and let Zhang Yu "have to" withdraw from the army, then he would have to buy more weapons and equipment.
But he didn't know how much Yuan Shao could bear, so he said tentatively: "I'm afraid it will take 200,000 sets of weapons and equipment." ”
200,000 sets, this amount is large enough, which requires Zhang Yu to take out all the inventory in the warehouse.
In other words, does Zhang Yu really save so much?
Weapons and equipment are strategic materials that must be stored, Youzhou is facing the threat of the grassland, and if necessary, Zhang Yu will recruit more troops to fight against the grassland.
Therefore, in Liaodong, Zhang Yu has a large number of strategic materials in reserve, including a lot of weapons and equipment.
200,000 sets, tens of millions of dollars, Yuan Shao couldn't take it out at this time.
Yuan Shao wanted to retreat as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he also wanted this batch of weapons and equipment, but he really didn't have that much money.
"Alas, 200,000 sets, tens of millions of dollars, Ziyuan can know that we have spent a lot of money in this war, and now we haven't even paid the pension." Yuan Shao said embarrassedly.
How could Xu Yu let this great credit fly, so he said: "Originally, can you raise 2,000 to 30 million yuan first, as long as you can raise some of it first, I will go to deal with Zhang Yu and ask him to give us weapons and equipment first." ”
"How is it possible, how can Zhang Yu agree to such a request, our two sides are still at war." Yuan Shao said.
Xu You was secretly happy in his heart, this Zhang Yu had already told Xu You that he could give the equipment first, and then the money.
Xu You showed a righteous and awe-inspiring look and said: "I am willing to try my best and persuade Zhang Yu with my three-inch tongue." ”
Yuan Shao was also moved, if he could really achieve it, he could solve many of his problems.
So Yuan Shao said: "Okay, then it's hard work, if you can really do it, you will definitely be rewarded at that time." ”
Xu You's heart blossomed, he didn't work hard in vain, he came back from Zhang Yu in a hurry, but he came to Yuan Shao without resting.
Xu You immediately said that he set out early the next morning to persuade Zhang Yu.
Xu You was indeed tired, he went to Zhang Yu to sit for less than half an hour, and then rushed back, riding back and forth in a bumpy carriage, but he was tired.
Early the next morning, after resting for the night, Xu You recovered a lot, and then set off again to Zhang Yu's camp.
This time, Zhang Yu still went to the gate of the camp to pick up Xu Yu in person.
"Lord Xu has worked hard, and I have prepared some wine and food."
Xu Youke was really tired, but he was always happy in his heart.
Sitting in the banquet, there were only Zhang Yu and Xu Yu in the big tent.
After eating some wine and food, Xu You eased the fatigue of the journey, and then said: "Lord Zhang, this time I did everything possible to accept the original and let him buy 200,000 sets of weapons and equipment, I don't know if Lord Zhang can do it?" ”
Zhang Yu's face was calm, and his heart was also happy.
200,000 sets, definitely a big order.
From 50,000 sets at the beginning, now after one day of talking, it has become 200,000 sets.
However, Zhang Yu's face couldn't show it, but said with a little embarrassment: "Everyone likes this money, who doesn't want to make more." It's only 200,000 sets of equipment, and I'm going to get half of the army to take off their weapons and equipment. ”
Xu Yu thought about it, if 100,000 sets of equipment needed to be taken off from the soldiers' hands, then Zhang Yu would inevitably retreat.
Xu You saw Zhang Yu hesitate, and then hurriedly said: "Lord Zhang, this is what I did to persuade the original, if Lord Zhang is unwilling, I'm afraid I won't buy a set of equipment at the beginning, if Lord Zhang is willing, in terms of price, we are willing to give one percent more." ”
Zhang Yu's eyes lit up, and he smiled secretly in his heart: "I'm afraid this Xu Yu wants to take advantage of both sides, and he actually sent me money, what kind of person was Yuan Shao fooled by him." ”
Zhang Yu showed a greedy look, but his face was still hesitant.
