Chapter 271: The deal is negotiated
"I want the general to help me capture Jiangdong and revive my Sun family's foundation! After the deed is completed, the jade seal is presented with both hands! Sun Ce opened his mouth, and this sentence directly suppressed Yuan Shu. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Impossible, if you regret it after the matter is completed, but General Ben has nothing to do with you, won't it be empty joy when the time comes, unless you give the jade seal to General Ben first, General Ben can promise to help you seize Jiangdong."
Yuan Shu is not a fool, he hasn't seen the jade seal yet, how can he prove that Sun Ce is telling the truth, and besides, how can there be a white wolf in this world, if you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle, of course Yuan Shu understands this truth.
"Besides, whether the jade seal is in your hands is just your side of the story, and how can General Ben believe that this heirloom jade seal is really in your hands, and not a lie that you deceived General Ben?"
Sun Ce didn't expect Yuan Shu to agree, and then said: "It seems that there is a lack of trust between me and the general, since this is the case, I will first prove that the jade seal is indeed in my hands, so as to prove my sincerity." ”
"How do you prove it?"
"Dare to ask the general, is there a horn missing from the jade seal of the country, and later made up for it with gold?"
There are indeed not many people who know this secret, Yuan Shu, as the son of the Yuan family, naturally knows, when Wang Mang usurped the throne, Wang Mang asked the Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun for the national seal, Wang Zhengjun did not give it, scolded Wang Mang, and finally was forced to be helpless, and threw the national seal into the ground, and broke the corner of the national seal. Later, Wang Mang inlaid a corner with gold, and the word gold inlaid with jade also came from this.
It's just that based on this alone, Yuan Shu couldn't fully believe Sun Ce, and asked, "Although you are telling the truth, General Ben still can't fully believe you." ”
"Then I don't know how General Yuan can believe it?"
"Unless General Ben sees it with his own eyes!" Yuan Shu finally showed his fangs, Sun Ce is only one person, if he really sees the jade seal of the country, then Sun Ce will pinch or knead it is not a matter of Yuan Shu's words.
This sentence forced Sun Ce into a corner, but he didn't expect Yuan Shu to be so scheming, he had to see it with his own eyes to believe it, not to mention whether this was his trick or not, he had to admit that Yuan Shu was not easy to deal with.
Sun Ce thought about it, if he didn't let Yuan Shu see the jade seal with his own eyes, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to contribute, so he said: "It's not negotiable, but before letting the general see the jade seal, we must talk about future cooperation." ”
At this time, Yuan Shu had already believed in Sun Ce, and he also knew that if he didn't come up with the conditions that would make the other party's heart move, it would be impossible for him to get the jade seal, so he asked, "How do you want to cooperate?" ”
"It's still the same sentence just now, the general helped me capture Jiangdong, but the process is a little different." Immediately, Sun Ce and Yuan Shu began to bargain.
After some bargaining, it was finally decided that Sun Ce would form an alliance with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu would lend 30,000 troops to Sun Ce, and provide Sun Ce with 30,000 people for half a year of grain, grass and ordnance, and help Sun Ce capture Lujiang County, as its foundation.
Yuan Shu is also more satisfied with this cooperation, Lujiang Taishou Lu Kang has always been not interested in Yuan Shu, Jiujiang, Danyang two counties are in the hands of the Zhou brothers, in fact, it is in the hands of Yuan Shao, the rest of Lu Kang, Wang Lang and others do not obey Yuan Shao, nor obey Yuan Shu, but hook up with Liu Shu, Yuan Shu is nominally Yangzhou Mu, but Yangzhou does not have a Taishou county order will listen to Yuan Shu, so this time he also borrowed Sun Ce's butcher knife to warn several princes in Yangzhou.
As for Sun Ce's capture of Jiangdong, in Yuan Shu's view, this is simply impossible, he still doesn't know how much strength Sun Ce has, not to mention that the 30,000 elite soldiers are still lent to the other party, even if it is given to the other party, with these 30,000 troops, he can take Yangzhou? It's not that he Yuan Shu looks down on Sun Ce, it's really too difficult.
But Yuan Shu didn't know that Sun Ce had Su Chen's support behind him, so it was not impossible to capture Jiangdong, not to mention that Guangling County was adjacent to Jiujiang and Danyang, and the Zhou brothers were restrained by Su Chen, so they couldn't exert much influence on Sun Ce at all.
The only thing to worry about is to beware of Liu Biao taking advantage of the fire to rob, Liu Biao was unlikely to send troops, but now Cao Cao is stationed in Xinye, if Jiangdong is really in chaos, Cao Cao will definitely encourage Liu Biao to send troops, and Liu Biao will definitely send Cao Cao to fight, he only needs to control the other party's grain and grass to reap the harvest.
In any case, a messy Jiangdong is better than now, at least it's messy, and there will always be a place to intervene.
Yuan Shu agreed to Sun Ce's request, and then Sun Ce must give Yuan Shu the jade seal of the heirloom country, of course Sun Ce can't bring it here for Yuan Shu to see, the two sides must make an appointment on a place, and Yuan Shu can't bring a large army with him.
With the example of Sun Jian being framed, of course Sun Ce would not take it lightly, this time, he also asked Yuan Shu to meet on an island in the middle of the lake, which is open around and cannot ambush large troops, so that both sides can rest assured.
Yuan Shu took the general Ji Ling and others to the island in the middle of the lake, Sun Ce was the only one on the island, and Yuan Shu was only allowed to go to the island alone, although Ji Ling expressed doubts, but the wolf rider guards did not give Ji Ling any face, and Yuan Shu had to go to the island alone.
After going to the island, Sun Ce handed the jade seal to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu couldn't put it down, and he immediately determined that this was the real jade seal of the country.
"General Yuan, you can pass the jade seal to me now."
"Of course!" Yuan Shu reluctantly handed the jade seal to Sun Ce and asked, "Bo Fu, aren't you afraid that I will ambush the army here and take the jade seal by force?" ”
Sun Ce indifferently motioned for him to look to the west, and Yuan Shu looked over and saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, obviously a large force of cavalry approaching.
"What is this?"
"General Yuan, don't panic, they are just my former subordinates, worried about my comfort, so just wait in front, if General Yuan wants to use strong, they only need a charge to arrive, not that I brag, although they are not many, but to deal with 10,000 people is a matter of hand, General Yuan might as well try."
"Hahahaha, Bo Fu is too worried, General Ben is just joking!" Yuan Shu saw that he was well prepared, and he also extinguished the thoughts that he shouldn't have, "Since General Yuxi has also seen it, tomorrow Bo Fu can go to the school field to order generals, 30,000 infantry have been prepared, and the baggage such as grain, grass, ordnance and other baggage can also be transferred at any time, Bo Fu, I wish you an early capture of Lujiang." ”
"Thank you General Yuan for your auspicious words, and I swear in the honor of my father, after the matter is completed, I will definitely dedicate the jade seal to the general."
"Okay, I can trust Bo Fu!"
