Hearing Liu Bei mention Kong Rong's name, Chen Deng wanted to laugh, but he still forcibly held back, waved his hand and said: "Although Wen Jugong is a great Confucian in the world, benevolent and heroic, he is not good at military affairs, and as the lord said, now Kong Beihai's self-protection is still insufficient, and naturally he has no spare strength to help Xuzhou." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Bei sighed deeply, "It's a pity that all the princes of all walks of life today are selfish and short-sighted, if there is no very reason, I am afraid that no one is willing to send troops to help!" ”

Mi Zhu nodded sympathetically, "The world is bustling, and it is all for profit." The world is crowded, all for profit. Merchants are like this, and the princes are also the same. ”

Chen Deng said: "Since there is no very reason, why doesn't the lord give him a very good reason?" ”

Liu Bei sighed again, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, the front door drives wolves, and the back door enters the tiger!" ”

Chen Deng said with a smile: "Then it depends on who the lord goes to ask for help?" ”

Liu Bei pinched his fingers and groaned: "Nanyang Yuan Shu, the Son of Heaven is not subordinate to the order, and his subordinates are even stronger and stronger, can they be reinforcements?" ”

Chen Deng said disdainfully: "Yuan Shu is short-sighted, has no wisdom and no courage, and has no power to deter Cao Cao, and he is definitely not a good aid." ”

Liu Bei nodded, and said: "Liu Biao of Jingzhou, like me, is a member of the Han family, benevolent and virtuous, virtuous, virtuous, and well-fed, can he be a reinforcement?" ”

Chen Deng still shook his head and said: "Liu Biaohu is in the nine counties of Jingxiang, but he only cares about self-protection and has no enterprising heart, and Jingxiang is rich, and the lord has no reason to ask for it. ”

Liu Bei frowned, silent for a while.

Over there, Zhang Fei couldn't sit still, snorted, and said, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then don't ask for anyone at all." I don't believe it, with the second brother and me, I can still let the Cao thief take advantage! ”

Chen Deng sneered and said indifferently: "As we all know, the two generals bravely crowned the three armies, and they have the courage of ten thousand people. But may I ask the three generals, when they were in Hebei, did they take a city and a pond for the lord? On top of the battle array, which of the world's famous generals did you win? ”

"You, presumptuous!"

Zhang Fei stood up from the table, furious, glaring at Chen Deng angrily, like a powder keg that could explode at any time.

"Yide, Hugh is rude!"

Liu Bei angrily reprimanded Zhang Fei, turned to Chen Dengshi, and said: "Please also ask Mr. Hugh to be like this reckless man, the village man, I have always been rude, and I also have a headache." ”

Chen Dengyun smiled lightly, waved his hand disappreciatively and said: "It's good that the lord knows it in his heart, now the situation is precarious for us and others, the army of Cao thieves is coming to an end in an instant, and the lord needs to make plans early." ”

Liu Bei said: "Forgive me for being stupid, I really can't think of where the reinforcements came from, please teach me!" ”

Chen Deng pointed to the north and said quietly: "In Yideng's humble opinion, the only person who can solve the crisis in Xuzhou now is Han Jun from Youzhou." ”

"Oh?"

Liu Bei's frowning brows stretched slightly, "Zhendong General Han Jun?" Although he has a heavy army, he has always been rude and rude, and he has no friendship with me, how can he send troops to help me? ”

The foundation of Liu Bei's life is his so-called "royal blood", so even if the people of the world don't take the will of the Son of Heaven seriously, he must also maintain the dignity of the Son of Heaven. Because to a certain extent, how much respect the Son of Heaven can get, how much capital he will have. The Son of Heaven has made an edict to make Han Jun the general of Zhendong, and in Liu Bei's heart, Han Jun is no longer the general with outstanding achievements, even if he is a great Han and expands his territory, he must follow the will of the Son of Heaven.

Chen Deng just smiled and got up to leave. There is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, he knows very well what his status is in Liu Bei's mind, so he just expressed his opinion, and he will never say a word again.

Liu Bei did not force Chen Deng to stay, as Chen Deng guessed, he did not have 100% trust in Chen Deng.

Guan Yu, who had been silent, slowly spoke, "Although what Chen Yuanlong said is quite rude, it is not all unreasonable, I also think that the one who can solve the danger of Xuzhou at the moment is to look at the princes of the world, and Han Jun is the best choice." ”

Liu Bei sighed heavily, "I don't know, if I can get Han Jun's help, it will be easy to repel the Cao thief." However, I look at General Zhendong and his person, who are the best at judging the situation and sizing up the situation, how can he offend Cao Thief because of this? ”

Mi Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "Not necessarily! ”

Liu Bei looked over suspiciously and asked, "What does Zizhong mean by this?" ”

Mi Zhu said with a smile on his face, full of confidence: "The two states of Youji have failed to harvest grain in the summer this year, and a large number of refugees have poured in, and now it is the time when the money is scarce and the food is exhausted, I believe that as long as the lord allows him to use his money and grain, Han Jun will not be moved!" ”

Liu Bei's face couldn't help but show a hint of pain. Xuzhou is rich and known all over the world, but no one will ever think that they have too much money and burn their hands. What's more, Liu Bei is a person with backbone, and this way of asking for help is a great shame for him.

"Let me think again."

Liu Bei waved his hand and walked back to the back hall with a lonely expression.

"Haha, Liu Bei, a hypocrite, is really a cub selling Yetian and not feeling distressed!"

The first batch of grain purchased from Congjingxiang and other places has been safely transported back to Youzhou, although it is far from enough to completely relieve the disaster in Youzhou and Youzhou, but at least it can guarantee that no one will starve to death for a period of time.

What Han Jun was holding in his hand was the letter for help sent by Liu Bei.

Guo Jia and Xun You glanced at each other, each smiling without saying a word, as if they didn't feel strange at all.

"20 million in money, 10,000 stone in grain, what a big deal! Liu Bei is really steep and rich, a rich man in the blink of an eye! It's just that with this little money and food, you want to fool me into sending troops, it's too whimsical! Let Liu Bei's envoys come in! ”

Standing in front of Han Jun was Jian Yong, a diplomat who had followed Liu Bei for many years and never gave up.

Han Jun vaguely remembered that in a certain game in later generations, Jian Yong's skill was to be a lobbyist, but now it seems that Jian Yong's eloquence is far from being a qualified lobbyist, which is probably another kind of performance of "there is no general in Shu, and Liao is a pioneer".

Of course, it may also be that Han Jun has too deep a prejudice against Liu Bei in his bones, which causes Jian Yong to treat him with colored glasses no matter what he says.

"General Han's reputation for being good at fighting is all over the world, and he can be called the first general of my Han Dynasty today. My lord once said to me that in this life, I only hate not being able to talk with General Han about the world at night. Now Cao is a thief, and he starts a war for his own personal vendetta, and the people are in trouble, and the mountains and rivers change color. In the past, when Dong thieves were in chaos, my lord Xuande Gong and Wenjie Gong once raised the banner of righteousness, discussed **** together, and intersected with each other. Today's Cao thief's disaster is no less than that of the Dong family in the past, and it is expected that General Han will not sit idly by and ignore it. ”

"Smack!" With a loud bang, Han Jun stood up indignantly, gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "What Mr. Xianhe said is true, the Cao thief is indeed hateful, one day, I will definitely use this fang in my hand and rape for the country!" ”

Jian Yong's face was overjoyed, and he looked at Han Jun expectantly and asked, "In this way, General Han has agreed to send troops?" ”

Han Jun shook his head tangledly, and said helplessly: "Although I have the same interests as Xuande Gong, we have been friends for a long time. I want to help Xuande Gong, but the mountains and roads between Xuzhou and Xuzhou are far away, and it is really beyond the reach of the whip. And it's not a secret, now up and down Youzhou, the treasury is empty, and there is no food available, it's not that Han Jun is ruthless and unrighteous, but he can't help. But please Mr. Xianhe tell Xuande Gong that after the next summer grain is put into storage, I will personally lead the army of Youyan, Tiger and Wolf and go south to help him! ”

Jian Yong's face suddenly turned like a bitter melon, and Han Jun's desire to suppress it rose first, making his heart rise and fall so much that he almost didn't come up in one breath and suffocated to death.

Taking a deep breath, Jian Yong said again: "General Han's benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, and the world knows it. When my lord heard that the disaster situation in the two states was urgent, he could not bear it, so he sent money and food to save the people from the fire. As long as General Han is willing to send troops to help, the loss of the application of the Youji army will be supplied by my Xuzhou, which is also a matter of duty, and there is no need for General Han to worry. ”

"Oh, so?"

Han Jun nodded thoughtfully, then shook his head again and said, "But my soldiers have been fighting with me since the beginning of the year, and now they are tired, and people are determined to recruit them to the south, it may not be easy." If it is a trivial matter that accidentally causes a mutiny and affects the stability of Youzhou, and delays the major event of Xuande Gong, Han Jun will die without redemption. ”

Jian Yong gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly: "All the soldiers who go on the expedition, Xuzhou will give extra money and food compensation, and the post-war pension rewards will be borne by my father-in-law!" ”

"That's great!"

Han Jun nodded with satisfaction, but the "but" that made Jian Yong feel helpless appeared again, "But, Mr. Xianhe thinks how many reinforcements should I send?" ”

This question suddenly made Jian Yong's head as big as a fight, he was at best only the level of a private school gentleman, and he was still incapable of being a diplomat, and he knew nothing about military affairs.

"What does Feng Xiao think?"

Han Jun looked at Guo Jia with an indifferent expression and asked, although he hadn't talked to this guy before, but with this guy's cleverness and wit, he would definitely understand what he meant.

Guo Jia has never disappointed Han Jun, and this time is naturally no exception, seeing that after he groaned for a while, he frowned and said: "Cao Jun's combat strength is not low, and this time with a big victory over Lu Bu, morale is flourishing, and it must not be taken lightly." In the humble opinion of his subordinates, the number of soldiers and horses sent should not be less than 50,000. ”

"Fifty thousand?"

Jian Yong's eyes widened unconsciously, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and shook his head again and again: "It's too much, it's too much." ”

"Is it much?"

Guo Jia sneered, "The soldiers of our army mostly grew up in Hebei, but this time they have to go south to the Central Plains to fight, the climate is unsuitable, the water and soil are not adapted, and they lose the time and place before fighting. Mr. Xianhe may not know it, but the death pension of my soldiers is the most generous in the world! ”
