The successive departures of Chen Deng and Tian Yu cast a shadow on the hearts of everyone present. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone went back and had their own thoughts.

Even so, all sides are wary of each other.

Cao Cao returned to the room, and hurriedly invited Xi Zhicai and Xun You to the room, and briefly talked about Chen Deng and Tian Yu's departure. Then, Cao Cao said: "The current situation has been disrupted by Liu Xuan. If you want to lower the price anymore, it is no longer possible. ”

Xi Zhicai squinted his eyes and said with emotion: "What a powerful Liu Xuan! ”

Cao Cao said: "Why did Zhicai say that? ”

Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice: "Among Chen Deng and Tian Yu, at least one person was arranged by Liu Xuan in advance. Or rather, both. However, Chen Deng was once captured by Liu Xuan, and he had a pimple with Liu Xuan, so he was not Liu Xuan's person. ”

"After all, Chen Deng came up with an idea to get everyone to unite against Liu Xuan."

"It's just Chen Deng's plan, which was seen through by Liu Xuan."

"So I expected that Tian Yu was probably instructed by Liu Xuan to leave."

Xi Zhicai's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he said: "Tian Yu once went to visit Liu Xuan before, and his humble position was unpredictable, and from time to time Liu Xuan had contact with Liu Xuan, but it is certain that Tian Yu took the benefit and left. It was Tian Yu's departure that caused the originally united parties to fall apart. Today's departure of Chen Deng is even worse. ”

Cao Cao said: "Yes, so Liu Xuan succeeded." ”

Xun You's eyes were calm, and he said: "Lord, Chen Deng's departure has caused everyone to fall apart. Now, then, we have to hurry. If you delay a little longer, you may miss a good opportunity. ”

Cao Cao immediately said: "Okay, I'll go to visit Liu Xuan." ”

Xun You asked: "Regarding the price of grain seeds, what is the bottom line of the lord?" ”

Cao Cao said: "300,000 gold!" ”

Xun You shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the lord has to prepare for 500,000 gold, and when Chen Deng left, it had already reached 380,000 gold." Even if we guess, 380,000 gold is a fake. But at this time, the lord is not sure, so what about the others who went? ”

Cao Cao said unwillingly: "If it's 500,000 gold, it's too much of a loss." ”

Xun You said: "Being able to exchange money for so much food, although it is a loss, it is worth it." ”

Xi Zhicai kept thinking about it, and he suddenly said: "Actually, I think 500,000 gold is not too much of a loss. ”

Cao Cao asked, "Why?" ”

Xi Zhicai replied: "First, the lord exchanged 500,000 gold for grain seeds, and after returning to Yanzhou, he can publicize it in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, saying how the lord worked hard to get grain seeds. ”

"This benefit is in exchange for the hearts and minds of the people."

"Second, after the lord saw Liu Xuan, he didn't say anything else, and directly threw out 500,000 gold. With our 500,000 gold, the situation of Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others is probably not something that can be solved by 500,000 gold. ”

"This benefit is to weaken the enemy."

"Third, the lord was generous and did not bother with Liu Xuan. On the contrary, it seems that the lord is generous, at least under the premise that Liu Xuan and us are allied, it is the lord who shows enough bearing. ”

"This benefit is to make Liu Xuan feel guilty."

Xi Zhicai smiled slightly and said, "Although Liu Xuan is unlikely to feel guilty, once Liu Xuan has something to ask for the lord in the future." At that time, he naturally understood that he would return it even more. ”

After Cao Cao heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

This analysis makes sense.

Cao Cao nodded heavily and said, "Zhicai's analysis makes sense, okay, I'll go." ”

Just do it, Cao Cao immediately left the post house with Dian Wei and went straight to Liu Xuan's state pastor's mansion. Liu Xuan's actions fell into the sight of Fu Zhu, Kuai Liang and others, but they were still waiting for the next news before making a decision. They are different from Cao Cao, Cao Cao can directly decide the amount, but the other people can't do any of them.

Cao Cao arrived at the state minister's mansion and met Liu Xuan in the study.

The two sides sat down.

Liu Xuan said: "Brother Meng De came to me, is there anything wrong?" ”

Cao Cao said: "I heard that Chen Deng got the grain seeds from you, and it was a transaction price of 380,000 gold. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Xuan replied without hesitation.

Cao Cao stretched out his short and fat right hand, opened his five fingers, and said, "Brother Xian, I'll give you 500,000 gold." I bought grain seeds for 500,000 gold. ”

Liu Xuanjian raised his eyebrows, he really didn't understand why Cao Cao was so impulsive.

500,000 gold!

That's not a small amount.

Liu Xuan knew that Cao Cao could take it, but Cao Cao was a master who had a clear distinction between public and private, and he was not a master who was willing to suffer. Since Cao Cao did this, then there must be a calculation in it.

Liu Xuan said: "Brother Meng De's mouthful of 500,000 gold makes me feel worried. ”

Cao Cao said: "I am conditional. ”

"On what terms?" Liu Xuan asked.

Cao Cao said: "The price of other parties cannot be lower than this price. ”

"Deal!"

Liu Xuan didn't even think about it, so he answered directly.

Cao Cao wanted to weaken the other parties, and he was happy to do it.

Cao Cao said: "When will the grain seeds be distributed?" ”

Liu Xuan replied: "Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, I can't ship the goods first and then wait for the money." ”

"It's good!"

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Farewell!" ”

Liu Xuan said: "Brother Meng De, is this leaving?" ”

Cao Cao replied: "I still have to raise money when I go back, so I won't delay time." When the time comes, we will hand over grain, seeds, and money at the border between the two sides. ”

Liu Xuan said: "No problem! ”

Cao Cao nodded, turned around and left.

After Cao Cao returned to the inn, he ordered the soldiers to pack their bags. Cao Cao's move made all the parties who originally had their own thoughts collapse.

Wang Yun, Kuai Liang, Fu Zhu and others stood outside the post house, looking at Cao Cao and his party, their expressions were extremely solemn.

Wang Yun said: "Meng De, why are you leaving?" ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "The matter has been done, so I won't stay." ”

Fu Zhu couldn't help but ask: "Cao Yanzhou and Liu Xuan reached an agreement, so how much money did Cao Yanzhou pay?" ”

The rest of the people looked at Cao Cao one after another.

They are most concerned about this issue.

Cao Cao glanced at a few people and replied, "This time the money I paid is 500,000 gold, a genuine 500,000 gold, without a trace of moisture." If you don't believe me, you can wait for a long time to hear. I will mobilize 500,000 gold and exchange it for grain seeds in Liu Xuan's hands. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Xuan is not a good stubble."

"It's never easy to keep prices down."

"If there is anyone among you who can't accept such a high price, you don't have to wait any longer and can leave. Anyway, once the grain seeds are popularized on a large scale, it is no secret. At most, it is only the development of grain this year. ”

Cao Cao's words were lighthearted, but everyone felt heavy.
