Chapter 227: Cao Cao's Scheme

"Come forward and worship!"

Liu Yuan looked at these envoys who were extremely frightened and submissive, and the corners of his mouth curled.

When the messengers heard this, they quickly got up and stood up. The envoy standing in the first place straightened his clothes, slowly stepped forward, and bowed to the end with the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, and his mouth was full of exotic Chinese flavors: "Envoy Wusun, on behalf of my king, I will pay tribute to the king of Yuyang with 100,000 gold, 20 carts of pearl and jade, 20 carts of spices, 100 Damascus knives, 200 beauties, and 500 slaves!" May the king of Yuyang live a long and healthy life! ”

Liu Yuan looked at the Wusun envoy quietly and did not speak.

Heavy pressure fell from the sky, and drops of sweat dripped from the lowered head of the Wusun messenger to the ground, making a slight snapping sound.

"Is this king old?" Liu Yuan asked Zheng Xuan with a side face: "I wish me a long and healthy life, tsk, really, hehehe"

As soon as Liu Yuan spoke, the pressure suddenly subsided, and the envoy couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, but he still kept bowing and didn't dare to raise his head.

"Let's be flat." Liu Yuan said lightly.

"Your king Wusun is not small, send an army to attack Juyan, and let this king mobilize the people. I don't think this thing is worth the layer of the king's use of the army to consume materials, hey, this is the sincerity of your king Wusun? Could it be that Ma Mengqi didn't make you cool enough once, and you have to do it a second time?! ”

Threats, naked threats.

Poof.

The envoy of Wusun, who had just been flattened, immediately knelt down and cried: "The king of Yuyang is above, it's not that our king is unwilling to pay more tribute, but there is nothing to do!" In recent years, my country has fought many wars, and the national strength has been consumed very much. ”

Liu Yuan looked at the crying Wusun envoy, couldn't help grinning, and said, "This king is not satisfied with your Wusun's tribute, but how can you say that your Wusun was also a vassal of my Han Dynasty, right?" So, the king doesn't mind letting you go, but"

"The king of Yuyang is above!" The envoy immediately spoke: "Starting next year, our Wusun Kingdom will pay half of the treasury income to the King of Yuyang every year!" ”

The envoy's mind turned sharply, and if he was not ruthless, he was afraid that not only would his life be difficult to protect today, but his country would be ravaged by that demon again. In any case, I will promise to come down first, and then I will persuade the king when I go back.

"Eighty percent!"

Liu Yuan's chin was raised and he said in a deep voice.

Smack!

Envoy Wusun went limped and fell to the ground!

It's so ruthless! Eighty percent! If so, how will the country function? "The king of Yuyang is above, at most, at most sixty percent" The envoy said dryly, his heart full of uneasiness.

"Well, see that you still have some guts to bargain with this king, then seventy percent, needless to say, just seventy percent, go down!"

Liu Yuan couldn't help but set a seventy percent number, drove the envoy of Wusun to his seat, and finally said: "This king will send someone to Wusun with you to be in charge of this matter, hehe"

The envoy sighed in his heart, and all thoughts were dispelled.

Then, dozens of messengers stepped forward one by one to offer tribute, and finally it was Loulan's turn.

In fact, although Loulan is only one city and is very weak, it is not the weakest country in the Western Regions. It's just that Princess Loulan has other plans, so it dragged on to the end. According to her thoughts, if you can't be the first, just be the last, no matter what, you have to leave a deep impression on Liu Yuan.

"The little woman meets the King of Yuyang."

The soft voice was like a spring breeze, which made some perverts suddenly have dry mouths and green eyes.

Liu Yuanhu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he carefully looked at the peerless beauty in front of him!

Snow-white skin, yes, snow-white! It's as white and transparent as the snow on the top of an iceberg!

The bridge of the nose is high and the eyes are slightly blue, which is typical of alien people.

The melon seed face, the pointed chin, and the weak eyes make people want to hold it in their arms at a glance and feel pity.

It is indeed a peerless beauty, and a peerless beauty with an exotic style.

"You are, the messenger of which country?" Liu Yuan said lightly.

"The little woman is the messenger of Loulan." The woman replied slowly.

"Loulan" Liu Yuan looked at it carefully. The miracle of this Loulan in later generations is that Liu Yuan was an archaeologist in his previous life, and in front of the living Loulan people, he couldn't help but feel curious.

But after thinking about it, Loulan is only a small country in the Western Regions, no more than a city, and no more than 100,000 people, how glorious can it be? He didn't care much about it, so he said, "So, what tribute do you have for Loulan to offer to this king?" ”

"It's a little girl."

The woman raised her eyes, looked at Liu Yuan steadily, and her words were not sluggish at all, as if she was not talking about herself, but someone else.

"Oh!?" Liu Yuan nodded slightly and said, "A beauty like you is indeed priceless." ”

The princess's eyes darkened slightly, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes: I didn't expect this Yuyang King to be a womanizer!

"But, hehe" Liu Yuan stood up and walked down the stage, while saying: "Although you are beautiful, this king does not put it in his eyes!" However, today I can let this king feast his eyes, hehe, I will spare you Loulan's disrespectful gift! ”

"Let's go!"

At the end of the pilgrimage, the entire Yuyang, the entire Youzhou, and the entire Liu Yuan were all in a boom. The newspaper and magazine published in detail every detail that happened at that time, every sentence of Liu Yuan, every action and gesture!

There are countless people who have discussed, admired, and admired!

Liu Yuan didn't take this to heart.

At noon, after lunch, Liu Yuan dealt with some things with Guo Jia and others, and then returned to the backyard relaxed, ready to 'relax and relax'. But when he walked outside the bedroom door, he found that Princess Loulan was also in the house, chatting happily with Cai Yan and several other women.

Liu Yuan frowned, depressed, and turned around and left the backyard.

As soon as I got out of the backyard, I turned around the corridor and came to Cao Ying.

"Virtuous brother!"

When Cao Ying saw Liu Yuan, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Xian, my brother is looking for you for something!" ”

Liu Yuan knew in his heart, his face was silent, and he said, "What's the matter?" Book Interview! ”

The two walked into the study side by side, and sat down as the host.

Cao Yingcai said: "Brother Xian, the two of us have known each other for ten years, right?" ”

When Liu Yuan heard this, he was a little confused. Isn't it to buy horses and food, how can you open your mouth to climb the relationship and mention these? Do you want to use this as an excuse to reduce the price?

"Yes, from the winter of 179 to the winter of 191, it has been twelve years!"

Liu Yuan nodded.

"yes, it's been twelve years!" Cao Ying sighed: "The two of us are close friends and brothers!" ”

"Hehe," Cao Ying's face changed, and he suddenly changed from a full of emotion to a little obscene: "The virtuous brother is now developed, isn't it an exaggeration to take help as a brother?" ”

Liu Yuan shook his head.

"That's right!" Cao Ying high-fived and said: "You see as a brother, although he occupies Yanzhou now, it's a pity that he has no money, no one wants people, there is nothing, you see, brother Xian, isn't it?"

Cao Ying's hands quickly rubbed together.

Liu Yuan was speechless.

It's very human! can bend and stretch, can change and change, this is Cao Ying!

"Uh, what does Brother Meng De want the little brother to support?" Liu Yuan said cautiously.

"Horses, grass, and blades." Cao Ying smiled: "How about it, it's not too much." ”

Liu Yuan said secretly, opened his eyes and said nonsense. Horses, grain, blades, it doesn't matter? Not excessive?

"But don't worry!" Seeing Liu Yuan's hesitation, Cao Ying suddenly said with righteousness: "It's not for nothing to ask for a brother, how about buying it?" I give money! ”

"Hehe, good!"

Liu Yuan nodded: "But this price?" ”

"Virtuous brother!" Cao Ying's voice dragged on for a long time, making Liu Yuan get goosebumps all over his body: "What does it have to do with you as a brother?" The price or something, the meaning is not good, why be so serious. ”

Seeing Cao Ying's faceless and skinless appearance, although Liu Yuan felt very disgusted and funny, he still patiently reached an agreement with him.

10,000 horses, 100,000 stone grain, 20,000 sets of blades and armor.

Cao Ying had to pay 500,000 gold, which could be paid in installments.

Cao Ying left satisfied, and before leaving, he asked Liu Yuan to release Liu Biao, saying that Liu Biao was shameless, and he wanted to ask for it in vain, so that Liu Yuan didn't have to give him face, and rejected Liu Biao.

If Liu Yuan hadn't pretended to be drunk and listened to the conversation between the two last night, I'm afraid he would have really frightened Cao Ying.

"Admire!"

Liu Yuan looked at Cao Yingle's disappearing back, and couldn't help but be full of admiration!

After a while, Liu Biao also arrived, just as Liu Yuan thought.

The two of them clearly discussed and proposed the purchase to Liu Yuan at the same time last night, but now they both have their own ghosts, and they can't do their best to suppress each other.

"Cousin," Liu Biao got straight to the point: "I heard Cao Mengde say yesterday that he wanted to ask you for some supplies, and I was also very moved. But after thinking about it, your cousin can't do something like him who is so shameless, so I think about buying some from you, what does my cousin think? ”

Liu Yuan glanced at Liu Biao strangely, and muttered to himself in his heart.

Sure enough, they are not ordinary people!

"Uh, okay. My cousin wants to buy it, how can my brother refuse? ”

So the two discussed for a long time and finalized the transaction volume.

Like Cao Ying, 10,000 war horses, 100,000 stone grain, and 20,000 sets of weapons and armor.

Watching Liu Biaole leave leisurely, Liu Yuan took a sip of tea, then rolled his eyes, and took out two documents with the word confidential from his arms with a smile, one on the desk and the other in the drawer under the desk. Then he walked out of the study slowly, and seemed to 'forget' to close the door.

Cao Ying and Liu Yuan made a deal, and they were very happy in their hearts, and they were about to go back to the room, tell Chen Gong about it, and share it with him, when suddenly his steps paused and his brows furrowed.

According to his thoughts, 10,000 war horses are the top priority in this transaction.

It was used as a stallion as a foundation for the continued growth of Yanzhou's cavalry power.

However, Liu Yuan is not a stupid person, if he didn't make it clear, Liu Yuan would very likely do something to these 10,000 war horses.

So Cao Ying paused, turned around and walked towards the study, just walked a short distance, met Liu Biao with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but stiffen his face.

When Liu Biao saw Cao Ying, his face was also stiff, and then he looked proud, greeted Cao Ying, and passed by.

Cao Ying's mind turned, and he didn't pay attention to Liu Biao's smug expression, and strode away, just sneering in his heart.

When I arrived at the door of Liu Yuan's study, I saw the door open, Cao Ying entered the door, and was about to speak, but he didn't see Liu Yuan's figure, so he couldn't help but stop.

"Maybe I'm going out for something, and I'll be back in a while."

Cao Ying thought.

"Just wait a minute."

He walked forward slowly, found a chair and sat down, and a quarter of an hour passed slowly.

Cao Ying waited a little impatiently, so he couldn't help but stand up and carefully look at the furnishings in the room.

Cao Ying walked to the desk, picked up a book, and suddenly glanced at the document on the table with the words "Top Secret" on it.

Cao Ying sighed in his heart, looked around, and felt a little guilty of being a thief in his heart.

He stretched out his hand, retracted it again, back and forth several times, and finally gritted his teeth and took the document in his hand.

Turning it over and taking a closer look, Cao Ying's face suddenly became solemn.

After reading the document at a glance and ten lines, Cao Ying rearranged it and was about to leave.

Suddenly, he paused again, then turned the desk, opened several drawers together, and found a top-secret document.

Cao Ying's heart beat faster, read the document quickly, and then packed it up, regardless of the possible problems of the 10,000 war horses, and walked out of the study quickly.
