Chapter 704: Spending Money to Buy Peace
The situation in Jingzhou is more complicated, unlike other places where one side of the vassal controls.
This Jingzhou is controlled by Liu Biao and several families, Liu Biao cannot fully control Jingzhou, and other families are the same.
This is also why Jingzhou later became the object of competition among the princes.
After Liu Biao and the others called the staff over, they asked people to help him up.
At this time, his body was still very weak.
Supported by two guards, Liu Biao appeared in the main hall.
"Zhang Yu must be allowed to leave as soon as possible, which of you will go to talk to him." Liu Biao said.
He couldn't hold it anymore.
must compromise, if Zhang Yu continues to toss, he is afraid that he will be tossed to death by Zhang Yu.
Although everyone was full of righteous indignation, they were actually happy in their hearts.
I don't want Zhang Yu to continue tossing.
If you can spend money to solve it, you will spend money to solve it.
Anyway, they don't have to pay for it.
Liu Biao asked someone to negotiate with Zhang Yu, which went relatively smoothly, and someone took the initiative to ask for help.
Set the tone for the negotiations.
Zhang Yu had already set a price, 100 million yuan, as well as grain, grass and other materials.
"At most, I can only give 80 million dollars, and let them solve the grain and grass by themselves." Liu Biao said.
His staff took the order.
The staff member went out of the city gate under the escort of the army, and then headed for Zhang Yu's camp.
Zhang Yu naturally knew about the movement of the city gate.
When the messenger came outside the camp, no one else was allowed to enter, but he was the only one to enter.
Although going in can't protect his safety, but this is a kind of dignity, when a big man appears, he has to bring a few entourages, and Zhang Yu directly doesn't let them bring it.
In the end, protests were naturally ineffective.
After entering, Zhang Yu didn't embarrass him.
"Sit down, I don't know what instructions Liu Jingzhou has." Zhang Yu said.
The staff didn't dare to be so casual, and obediently greeted him, after all, Zhang Yu was the official prince of the Han Dynasty.
"My Jingzhou is rich in land and resources, outstanding people, and Liu Jingzhou is even more..."
"Stop." The other party was about to make a long speech, Zhang Yu immediately stopped and said: "Let's talk about the conditions directly, there is no one else here, so there is no need to say these polite words." ”
The messenger was very uncomfortable, and was interrupted at the beginning.
"Lord Liu Jingzhou wants to reconcile with the prince, but it was all a misunderstanding before, we can..."
"If Liu Jingzhou is willing to agree to my conditions, I will receive something, and I will return to Jiangdong the next day, and I will definitely not commit any offence to Jingzhou." Zhang Yu didn't want to listen to that person's nonsense, so he interrupted again.
"Eighty million dollars, there are no other conditions, after getting the money, you must leave within three days." The messenger was interrupted twice, suddenly became nervous, and directly told the bottom line.
"Okay, 80 million yuan, the money is in hand, we will stay for a day at most to pack our things, and then leave Jingzhou immediately." Zhang Yu said.
can have an income of 80 million, Zhang Yu is also satisfied, anyway, both sides are eaten, Cai Mao's money has been obtained, and it was directly loaded and shipped back in Jiangxia.
Zhang Yu doesn't have much time, he doesn't want to drag it with Liu Biao, and it takes a long time to negotiate.
The messenger was quite speechless, and his talents were not fully utilized.
I became a subordinate who conveyed the news, and I was very helpless.
And as soon as he came, he gave the bottom line to Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu was even more direct, and immediately made a decision.
The process was tortuous and changeable, at least the messenger thought so, because he was interrupted twice from speaking, and suddenly felt that Zhang Yu was very unreasonable.
The messenger went back, and then he went back, and he didn't even give him a cup of tea.
It's to convey the message yourself, and then go back, this is a subordinate who delivers the message, not like a messenger at all.
The messenger didn't dare to go back like this, how to explain when he went back.
The messenger went back slowly, delaying as long as he could.
Zhang Yu naturally didn't care what the messenger thought.
"No wonder this Liu Biao will lose so badly, the family business is about to be lost, what kind of staff are he looking for."
Looking at the appearance of the envoy, Zhang Yu knew that Liu Biao had no talent.
This person was a messenger, but he didn't know the situation at all, and when he came to Zhang Yu, he had to talk to Zhang Yu at length and explain what reason.
And there is no skill at all, at first glance he is a useless old man.
Zhang Yu easily sent it away, and he didn't have so much time to waste.
It has been a long time since he left Jiang Dongning, and it is not good for development to be absent from his own territory for a long time.
This time, Zhang Yu was in a hurry to go back.
If this weren't the case, Zhang Yu wouldn't let Liu Biao go easily, so he would have to toss more.
After the envoy went back, he made up a mess, saying how he reasoned with Zhang Yu, how Zhang Yu opened his mouth, and finally he was persuaded by himself that he agreed to leave as long as he had 80 million dollars.
What's more, Zhang Yu originally had to leave five days after collecting the money, but he was forced to leave the next day.
In this way, the messenger also received many rewards from Liu Biao.
In fact, Liu Biao didn't have the heart to listen to what the messenger said, he was so tired that he didn't hear clearly, and finally went back after the reward.
At the end of the negotiations, the two sides did not sign any treaty at all, only a verbal agreement.
However, in the middle of the night, Liu Biao still asked people to send the money to the barracks.
Choosing the middle of the night, this is also what Liu Biao considered.
Liu Biao was afraid of embarrassment and would never accept Zhang Yu's blackmail.
Now I can't help it, so I choose to trade at night.
This is also the reason why Liu Biao only gives money and does not give other materials.
If you add grain and grass, it will be a large convoy, and it will not be able to cover it up at all.
Zhang Yu doesn't care about this, Liu Biao will keep it secret if he wants to keep it secret, and he doesn't need to publicize it, it's good to make a fortune in a muffled voice.
In fact, Zhang Yu had already started to clean up, and after sending Dian Wei and Han Dong to pack up some things.
The money arrived in the middle of the night, and the next morning Zhang Yu ordered to start packing things.
In fact, it was also very quick to pack up, and each army was responsible for its own things, packed up and loaded the trucks, and set off in the prescribed order.
They march all year round, and they do it well and quickly.
By noon they were packed.
After packing up, Zhang Yu did not stay, and immediately ordered to set off.
Zhang Yu finally left, and the families in Xiangyang applauded, but the people were still living their lives, and there was no reaction.
When the news reached the governor's mansion, Liu Biao hurriedly got up and returned to the main hall with the support of the guards.
Instead of being happy, the crowd was very nervous.
The heralds went in and out, passing on Zhang Yu's movements.
At this time, what Liu Biao was most afraid of was that Zhang Yu pretended to leave and killed him.
However, an hour or two passed, and Zhang Yu kept leaving, with no intention of turning back.
But they don't dare to relax easily.
Let the scouts follow all the time, and the army in the city only relaxed the siege slightly, and some of them rested in the barracks without leaving Xiangyang.
Knowing that a day later, Zhang Yu and the others had already left far away, and this Liu Biao dared to relax.
Zhang Yu tossed for a month, Liu Biao's mental state was very poor, and he lost several pounds.
