After entering the antechamber, everyone sat down in priority and priority.

Of course, Cao Shuo sat in the first seat, and Liu Biao sat opposite.

"General Cai should have already brought my meaning to Jingsheng Gong." Leaning over to stare at Liu Biao, Cao Shuo asked, "I don't know what Jingsheng Gong is going to do?" ”

"Dejun did relay Childe's meaning to me." Liu Biao said with a bitter face: "It's just a request from the child......"

"Questions?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Cao Jun besieged the city, I had thought about Liu Xuande asking for help before, but he didn't send a single soldier." Liu Biao said: "Let him come to Xiangyang at this time, he will definitely refuse, Liu Xuande's head is not so easy to take." ”

"Put his head aside." Cao Shuo said: "I will discuss it with Jingsheng Gong in the future." What I want now is the compensation that Jingsheng Gong gave to the soldiers of the three armies. ”

"Compensate the officers and men of the three armed forces?" Liu Biao was stunned.

"The army went out on the march, and the soldiers came from afar." Cao Shuo said: "Every extra day of delay will cost one more day of money and food. Moreover, the soldiers work hard, and they can't help but give them some benefits. I also have to ask for money to raise soldiers, this time I came to Jingzhou for Jingsheng Gong, don't you think you should give some compensation, so I can explain to the soldiers? ”

Cao Shuo's remarks made Liu Biao suddenly full of black lines.

He muttered in his heart, I didn't invite you to Jingzhou and lead the army to besiege Xiangyang, but now it's good, the money and food spent by Cao's soldiers still have to come out of Jingzhou......

Although he muttered so much in his heart, Liu Biao didn't dare to say it.

He said with a sad face: "What Childe said is indeed the truth, but where can I get a million copper coins?" ”

"A million hangs is too much?" Cao Shuo said: "I didn't ask for 10 million hangings, it was already for the sake of Jingsheng Gong as the imperial prince." ”

Liu Biao swallowed his saliva, and just after saying a few words to Cao Shuo, he felt that something was wrong with the situation.

Don't look back and bargain didn't work, but was given the price by Cao Shuo.

"I'll calculate it for Jingsheng." Cao Shuo said: "When the 100,000 army came to Jingzhou, the soldiers had to eat grain, how much grain and grass did they consume every day? How many shoes does it cost to rush to the army? There are also the robes and armor worn by the soldiers, and the weapons and utensils used, which one does not need money? The most important thing is that Jing Shenggong let Liu Xuande lead troops into Yuzhou for no reason, and how much food did the people of Yuzhou rob? Especially in Bowang, a fire almost burned General Xiahou to the ground. The relatives of the dead soldiers should be pacified, and our Cao family should support their family descendants, and I haven't counted these expenses for Jingsheng Gong. ”

Cold sweat was already pouring out on his forehead, and Liu Biao felt that the clothes on his back were already wet.

"Childe's calculation is accurate, it's true that I didn't think about it in detail enough." Liu Biao lowered his head and said, "But Jingzhou really can't take out so much money......

"How much can you come up with?" Cao Shuo asked.

As soon as he let go, Liu Biao suddenly felt that there might really be a possibility of bargaining, and hurriedly said: "300,000 hanging!" ”

Cao Shuo's face changed suddenly, he stood up and ordered Pang Tong: "Shiyuan, let's go, pass the order down, and attack the city today." ”

Cao Shuo was leaving, and he also released a word to attack the city, Liu Biao was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly got up to stop him.

Chen Zhi stepped forward and glared at Liu Biao viciously.

Huang Zhong also stepped forward and glared at Chen Zhi face-to-face.

"What is this for?" Glancing at Huang Zhong, Cao Shuo asked Liu Biao, "Could it be that Jingsheng Gong really plans to do something to me here?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Cold sweat broke out on Liu Biao's forehead, and he made a big salute to Cao Shuo and said, "I just said that, in fact, I also know that 300,000 is indeed a little less." Even if I sell the house, I will definitely raise more for my son. ”

"How much can Jingsheng Gong raise?" Cao Shuo asked coldly.

Liu Biao hesitated and asked, "Is 400,000 enough ......?"

"Are you kidding me?" Cao Shuo sneered and said to Pang Tong again, "Let's go." ”

"Childe, don't worry." Seeing that Cao Shuo was angry, Liu Biao hurriedly said: "I also know that 400,000 is indeed too little." ”

"One hundred thousand plus one hundred thousand dollars, you and I are here to beg for food?" Cao Shuo glared at him fiercely, and said with an angry face: "If Jingsheng Gong is not sincere, then it is better to meet each other." ”

"Don't ...... Don't ......" was covered with cold sweat on his forehead, Liu Biao said: "How much can the son want, just tell me, as long as I can prepare it, I will go all out......"

"You do something for me." Cao Shuo said: "I'm looking for three people, as long as I find the three of them, I'll give you a reduction of 100,000 hangs." ”

"What three of them?" Although less than 100,000 hangs is a drop in the bucket, after all, it is a little better, Liu Biao hurriedly asked.

"Mr. Shuijing, Sima Hui, Pang Degong, and Huang Chengyan." Cao Shuo said: "Bring these three people to see me, and you will save 100,000 yuan." ”

"I'll do my best to do this." Liu Biao said with a bitter face: "But 900,000 hangings, it is indeed a little more ......."

"More?" Cao Shuo asked.

Liu Biao didn't dare to respond, but nodded heavily.

His eyes fell on Huang Zhong's face, and Cao Shuo said: "I want him, as long as Jingsheng Gong gives me Huang Hansheng, I will give you another 200,000 hanging." ”

"Huh?" Liu Biao was stunned.

Not only was he taken aback, but even Cai Mao, Huang Zhong and Mrs. Cai were also surprised.

Huang Zhong frowned slightly, and said to Cao Shuo: "Is it possible that the son wants to buy and sell me like a commodity?" ”

Cao Shuo ignored him, but asked Liu Biao: "To give it or not to give it to Jingsheng Gong?" ”

"Huang Hansheng is already old." Liu Biao said: "He has not made any achievements in Changsha, what does Gongzi want him to do?" ”

"General Huang is old to you, and he has not achieved much." The corners of Cao Shuo's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a strange smile: "But to me, he is a priceless treasure." 200,000 hanging money from Jingsheng Gong invited him to Shouchun, and I still think it was a humiliation to General Huang. ”

Cao Shuo wanted to exchange 200,000 yuan for Huang Zhong, at first Huang Zhong was very unhappy in his heart, feeling as if he was being bought and sold as a commodity.

But after Cao Shuo said this, Huang Zhong was completely messy.

In Jingzhou, Liu Biao, Han Xuan and others didn't take him seriously at all, and they didn't even recommend him.

Cao Shuo was willing to exchange 200,000 yuan for him, which shows that he regarded him as an extremely precious treasure......

Looking at Cao Shuo, Huang Zhong's eyes became a little strange.

"To Gongzi, General Huang is a rare treasure...... Liu Biao was stunned and didn't know what to say, and Cai Mao on the side wanted to interject.

"Three hundred thousand." Without waiting for Cai Mao to finish speaking, Cao Shuo added another 100,000 hanging money, but his gaze at Liu Biao was much sharper than before, and there was a faint murderous aura on his body.
