Qin Feng controlled the epidemic, but there was a shortage of medicinal materials under his rule, and without the treatment medicine, the epidemic could not be controlled at all. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info though he can continue to fight the plague in isolation and wait for the plague to slowly disappear on its own.

But tens of millions of people are isolated, the fields are barren, and famine is bound to occur, and the final outcome is the same as not being able to control the plague.

Qin Feng had to obtain enough medicinal materials, and the princes seized on his weakness and took the opportunity to ask for a price, which was inflated to a terrifying twenty times. This is also because the princes are still relatively 'thin', if not, Qin Feng will also have to buy it if it is a hundred times and a thousand times.

In fact, the princes were thick-skinned, they had already discussed it, and after making Qin Feng's money, they would not sell him enough medicinal materials. And after calculation, Qin Feng didn't have the money to buy enough medicinal materials at this price.

Qin Feng also calculated, he couldn't buy enough if he sold himself at this price, he couldn't let this happen. He was trying to find a way to break through the encirclement of the princes, and sent Lao Jia Xu and Pang Tong as envoys to negotiate.

But negotiations take time.

Fortunately, Cao Cao only sells it at double the price, which is acceptable. And Ma Teng is there at the normal price for home delivery. A total of 200,000 catties of medicinal materials were sent from these two sides, although there is still a gap of 800,000 catties, but it can also be supported for a period of time.

But there is also food on both sides.

It is located in Jinan Shanghe Port.

On July 15, Qin Feng's side and the representatives of various princes negotiated until the third day, but there was still no progress.

Outside the conference room, the representatives of the princes from all walks of life were like some kind of social creatures, piled together,

"I'm not afraid that Qin Zi will buy it or not, go, and drink." Guo Tu, as the representative of the landlord, shouted five and six and took the representatives of the princes to drink and have fun.

Compared with the other princes, Yuan Shao had no intention of selling Qin Feng's medicinal materials. Qin Feng was self-destructed, and Yuan Shao, who bordered Qin Feng, was able to take over easily. Of course, if you make a sum of money and food to recruit troops and horses, Yuan Shao is still happy to see it.

Lao Jia Xu and Pang Tong silently returned to their residence, and Wei Yan took a team of soldiers to protect them.

"Old thief, take out your ability to pat on the back and clean them up." Pang Tong touched his nose to the sky.

Lao Jia Xu touched his beard and smiled slightly, "Little fox, it's still much better for you to have a rolling river." ”

"Damn! Disrespectful for the old! ”

"Bastard! Disobedience and unfilial piety! ”

Soon the two became entangled together, one pinching his neck and the other pulling his beard.

Wei Yan was taken aback, he had heard of the contradiction between the two military advisors, which could be traced back to the imperial examination. At that time, Lao Jia Xu was the main exam, Pang Tong fell to Sun Shan for the first time, and only got a second grade for the second time, and I heard that the paper was given by Lao Jia Xu.

However, the actual situation is that Lao Jia Xu doesn't know whose scrolls he has seen at all, because the scrolls are all sealed, and he can't see the name.

Lao Jia Xu has always been very steady, but he has more or less reached the age of an old naughty boy, and when he meets a young man who is looking for trouble, he also makes a fuss.

"It's going to be a sycophant!" Pang Tong shouted.

Lao Jia Xu was furious, "The lord is wise, and he decides to meet in the world, and I call it praise, not sycophancy." On the contrary, you kid, if you don't learn well when you're young, you know how to pat on the back. ”

When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but nod secretly. Since ancient times, virtuous monarchs have been supported by the government and the opposition, and they have been praised constantly, and they are really not sycophants.

Pang Tong was furious, he was the one who wanted to be the chief military advisor, "I am also praised!" Even if it's a sycophant, I learned it from you. ”

"I'm angry old man, I'll teach you a lesson for Pang Degong! Speaking of which, I'm also your uncle! The old nephew is beaten! ”

The two fought and were in an uproar. The soldiers were already surprised, so they didn't see it.

Wei Yan couldn't hold it anymore, and suddenly saw a person coming, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't fight, someone else is coming." ”

Lao Jia Xu and Pang Tong hurriedly stopped, and it only took a second to tidy up their clothes, and the soldiers were dumbfounded.

"It turned out to be a corrupt general." When Pang Tong saw the visitor, his eyes rolled and he saluted.

Liu Bei returned the courtesy, I haven't heard the local accent of 'liuchuang' for a long time, and I trembled all over, saying that you are a junior, and this emperor's uncle is not as knowledgeable as you. Liu Bei always thought that the disadvantage was a homonym for his name, which came from the vernacular of Qin Feng's hometown. If he knew the true meaning of cheating, he would probably hit the wall.

"Ringworm Duogong." Lao Jia Xu saluted.

Liu Bei shuddered and returned the salute, saying in his heart that Qin Zi came out of there, and there was no good thing. You say that Qin Zijin is a bastard who says his family's local dialect, forget it, what kind of coaxing are you following.

After a while, Jia Xu and Pang Tong led Liu Bei back to their residence.

The three of them were seated, and Lao Jia Xu stroked his beard and asked, "I don't know how much uncle the emperor is?" ”

Liu Bei's face was righteous and awe-inspiring, just like the uncle of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, he shook one and a half big ears, and said: "I heard that the people suffered a catastrophe in the north, and this emperor's uncle felt a real pain in his heart. A batch of herbs has been prepared and has been delivered here. ”

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but focus on Liu Bei's half of his left ear, the ear here has no big earlobe, it turned out that it was cut by Lu Bu when Sanying fought against Lu Bu, and it didn't grow back.

"Oh?" Pang Tong touched his nose, "I don't know how much Uncle Huang plans to sell?" ”

Liu Bei shook one and a half big ears and said, "The people are in distress, how can this emperor's uncle ask for money." ”

Lao Jia Xu and Pang Tong were moved.

Lao Jia Xu stood up and saluted: "Uncle Huang is benevolent, and his name is well deserved. The old man thanked my lord and the people of the Northland, I don't know how many medicinal materials the emperor brought? ”

Liu Bei's old face was slightly red, "Five hundred catties." ”

"Poof~." Wei Yan, who was sitting on the side, squirted out all the tea in one gulp. The soldiers were also frightened, and they thought that how much, only five hundred catties, so insincere?

Liu Bei observed his words and hurriedly explained with shame: "Uncle Emperor's ability is limited, I hope that the two military advisors will not be too few, they are already all the reserves of Uncle Emperor." ”

Pang Tong hurriedly got up and said solemnly: "There is too little there, Uncle Huang really deserves to be a virtuous person." ”

Jia Xu and Pang Tong glanced at each other, what kind of person Liu Bei is, after so many years, everyone with vision can see it clearly. Obviously, Liu Bei can't exchange much food for such a little medicinal material, Liu Bei is here to give gifts and ask for favors.

In fact, Liu Bei also thinks so, he now only has a small county town left, and it all depends on the title of the emperor's uncle and the intricate relationship between the princes, so no one has come to destroy him. He didn't have many medicinal materials, so it was better to take the opportunity to make friends with Qin Feng and have more opportunities in the future.

Although Qin Feng didn't come to him, he took the initiative to send herbs instead.

Jia Xu and Pang Tong knew that it was important to break the monolithic posture of the princes, so they did not hesitate to praise them.

Wei Yan smacked his lips and said okay, Liu Bei was embarrassed to ask for favors for five hundred catties, and the two military advisors insisted on getting it, and praised it as a flower. (To be continued.) )
