Chapter 369: Jiangzhong Negotiations
After sending the letter to Yuan Shu, Sun Yang did not hesitate any longer, and directly gave an order to Guo Jia and Han in front of him, asking them to storm Jiangxia at all costs, and he would find a way to deal with the heavy food burden!
After receiving Sun Yang's order, Guo Jia and Han Dang also decisively gave the order, and the whole army left the camp and began to storm Jiangxia!
Under their onslaught, on the first day, the Jiangxia defenders, who were underarmed, were so embarrassed that they could only huddle in the camp and tremble! After another three days of continuous onslaught, the Jiangxia defenders and the Jiangdong army suffered heavy losses, but the Jiangxia army still stubbornly held on and dragged the Jiangdong army to death!
The war has fallen into a stalemate again, seeing this, Guo Jia's mouth is bubbling, he knows that it is very unfavorable for them to drag it out, but he has no good way, the camp of the Jiangxia army is built along the river, and it is on the high ground, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which perfectly blocks the road of the Jiangdong army to Xiangyang.
"Grandma's! If Lao Tzu had a naval army in his hands, this camp would have been taken a long time ago! Seeing that his attacking army was once again repulsed, Guo Jia slapped the table hard, although it was difficult to attack this Jiangxia camp from the land, but if it was attacked from the water, it would be easy to cut off their back route. Take the big camp! But the current situation is that the only naval army in Jiangdong has not yet become an army, and he can't hold a naval army in his hands at all!
"General Yigong, it's getting dark, let the brothers withdraw!" Seeing that the sun was about to set, Guo Jia knew that they had failed again today, so he could only choose Mingjin to withdraw his troops and fight again tomorrow......
If it weren't for the elite forces of the Jiangdong Army here, I'm afraid that the soldiers would already be discouraged and unable to fight anymore. Guo Jia saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, he knew very well that if it dragged on any longer, the possibility of Nanyang being saved was very low, and they could only retreat, Guo Jia now needed a strategy that could make them turn the tables Jedi!
Wu County, Wu County.
"Lord, Yuan Shu replied, and he invited us to talk about it in Jiangzhong." After waiting for almost five days, Yuan Shu finally replied, but Yuan Shu did not say yes to the conditions mentioned by Sun Yang, let alone object, but only invited them to negotiate on the border on both sides, that is, on the Yangtze River.
"Very good, Zhicai, you go, no matter what the final result is, you must change to food as soon as possible to solve our urgent needs!" Needless to say, Sun Yang guessed that Yuan Shu still wanted to suppress a wave of prices, so he delayed it like this, I have to say that Yuan Shu is really cunning, he knows that Sun Yang can't afford to drag it out, but as long as he can get food, no matter how much, as long as he can survive this time, Sun Yang will be satisfied.
"No!" Xi Zhicai also knew that time was pressing, so he didn't say much, just took the heirloom jade seal handed over by Sun Yang, and hurried towards the agreed place.
In less than a day, Xi Zhicai came to the agreed place, and after handing over the heirloom jade seal to the black-clothed hands who came with him to protect him, he calmly boarded the ship prepared by Yuan Shu.
"Hehe, you must be Mr. Zhicai, a certain Li Feng has seen Mr. Xi." Since returning to Shouchun, Li Feng has been studying Jiangdong, as the backbone of Xi Zhicai, although he does not know much, but with the fact that Xi Zhicai alone governed the previous Wu County in an orderly manner, Li Feng greatly appreciated it.
"Hehe, don't dare to be, Mr. is the military advisor under General Yuan's seat, speaking of which, it should be that Mr. has seen Mr." Xi Zhicai, who has traveled abroad for many years, is very familiar with the world, but he is not left behind.
"Hehe, Mr. Xi is modest, the wind is strong on the river, let's go into the cabin and talk about it, Feng has already warmed the wine, and I am willing to drink a few glasses with Mr." Li Feng hugged his fists and invited Xi Zhicai into the cabin to talk in detail.
"But it's disrespectful!" Xi Zhicai also hugged his fists, he didn't care about drinking or anything, he just wanted to negotiate the conditions as soon as possible now, and get food first!
After entering the cabin, Xi Zhicai and Li Feng sat opposite each other, and after instructing the boatman to start the boat, Li Feng, as the host, also poured the warm wine into two cups and handed one of them to Xi Zhicai.
"Mr. Xi, time is in a hurry, I can only treat each other with thin wine, please don't dislike Mr.!" Li Feng raised the wine glass in his hand and saluted Xi Zhicai.
"Hehe, sir is too worried, it is enough to have a glass of warm wine in this winter." Xi Zhicai also raised his wine glass and saluted Li Fengyao, then raised his head and drank the wine in the cup. Seeing this, Li Feng drank the wine in the cup with a smile.
Putting down the wine glass, Xi Zhicai wiped his slightly wet lips, looked at Li Feng and said: "Mr. Li, it's not too early, let's get down to business first, presumably the letter from my father-in-law to General Yuan, you should have read it, I don't know what General Yuan's attitude is, but I don't want Mr. to give me an accurate word." "The front line is urgent, and Xi Zhi doesn't dare to waste a single bit of time.
Hearing that Xi Zhicai went straight to the point, Li Feng didn't react, but after pouring the two people's cups full of wine, he looked up at Xi Zhicai.
"Hehe, I can't imagine that Mr. is still an anxious child, so let's do it, what's the matter, it's okay to wait until we drink three glasses of warm wine to warm up." Although Xi Zhicai is in a hurry now, Li Feng is not in a hurry, he just wants to delay time, and the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be to them!
After getting Li Feng's answer, although Xi Zhicai was a little dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't attack, so he could only pick up the wine glass again and continue to drink with Li Feng, the agreement of three glasses of wine soon passed, and now Li Feng has no reason to drag it out, right?
"Mr. Xi, regarding the condition proposed by Wu Hou recently, my lord feels very sincere, and it is true that you have suffered a loss in changing the jade seal, so we have no objections......
"Oh? That's good, I don't know when we can exchange, I've already brought the jade seal, as long as you have everything ready, we can exchange it at any time. Hearing Li Feng say that Yuan Shu agreed to their conditions, Xi Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, it seems that it won't be long before he can go to the front line with grain and grass.
It's just that what Xi Zhicai didn't expect was that as soon as Li Feng changed his words, he opened his mouth again: "Mr. Xi, it's just that you also know that it's about to be early spring, and the people are busy with spring ploughing, and we don't have much grain and grass left in Jianghuai, so what my lord means, can there be a smaller number?" ”
Li Feng's words can be regarded as pouring cold water on Xi Zhicai's head, he didn't expect that this Yuan Shu would actually suppress the price, and wherever this jade seal is placed, it is definitely more than this price! Xi Zhicai's face darkened a little, "Huh? I don't know how much you can come up with, as long as it's reasonable, I can make the decision. ”
"Mr. Xi is really reasonable, so let's do it, in addition to maintaining our normal consumption, we only have 50,000 stone surplus grain left now, and my lord's proposal is to exchange this 50,000 stone grain and grass first, and we will make up for it in the future!"
"Humph! Fifty thousand stones? Mr. Li, since you are not like this, there is no point in continuing to talk, the boatman turned around and docked! Xi Zhicai snorted coldly, only 50,000 stone grain and grass, is he Yuan Shu sending Huazi? You must know that 50,000 stone grain and grass is not enough for the consumption of the 70,000 army for ten days!
