Chapter 824: Conditions
Huainan, Shouchun, is the base camp of the princes Yuan Shu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Yuan Shu only has the land of Anfeng, Lujiang (Lujiang in Jiangbei) and Huainan County, it is located between the Yangtze River and the Huai River under his rule, and has the Huai River Basin, the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta, and one of the five great lakes such as Chaohu Lake. The four seasons are distinct, the climate is mild, the products are abundant, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles.
Although there are only three counties, its wealth is still above the four of Cao, Yuan, Liu and Lu.
It is recorded in the book: Yuan Shu was furious, so he worshiped Zhang Xun as a general, led an army of more than 200,000, and conquered Xuzhou in seven ways, which shows that he has many soldiers.
There is also a record: Cao Cao's 170,000 army attacked Yuan Shu, and borrowed 100,000 yuan of grain from Sun Ce, and in the end he could only eat small grains. At this time, Yuan Shu was defeated, but he still left 100,000 troops to guard Shouchun, and brought thousands of carts out of Huainan to avoid Cao Cao's edge, which shows that Yuan Shu's money and food are sufficient.
Yuan Shu often has the intention of annexing the Central Plains, but all day long, he spends all day drinking, luxurious enjoyment, groups of beautiful women, and does not know what is going on outside the house.
On this day, Yuan Shu was fighting with several 'goblins' in the room, and there was a call outside.
Not to mention that half an hour had passed, Yuan Shu came to the council hall wrapped in clothes, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter? ”
Lu Wenwu looked at the bright sun outside, speechless, and said in his heart that this is the daytime prostitution recorded in the book.
In fact, today is a regular meeting, and obviously Yuan Shu has forgotten.
To say that there are many people under Yuan Shu, Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, Ji Ling, Liu Xun, Chen Ji, Chen Lan, Han Yin, Lei Bo, Le Zhu, Li Feng, Liu Xun, Liang Gang, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun, are all here today.
Lord Bo Yanxiang came out and said, "My lord, Yuan Zhen has sent an urgent letter. ”
Yuan Shu took it and looked at it carefully, and then fell into deep thought. Before he could button up his clothes, a gust of wind blew, and he was full of excitement, and said, "You all have a look." ”
Subsequently, everyone on Yuan Shu's side knew the content of the letter.
Strategist Yang Hong came out and said: "My lord, what Yuan Cheng said is also reasonable, we are far away from Qin Feng's territory here. This time, Yuan Benchu clearly wanted to kill Qin Feng. But Qin Feng was defeated, and the territory was returned to Yuan Shao. Maybe Cao Mengde will benefit from Qin Feng's defeat, but the lord will definitely not get any benefit at all. ”
"And whether it is Yuan Shao or Cao Cao annexing Qin Feng, if they take the opportunity to become bigger, they will become another Qin Feng, which is very unfavorable to the lord."
When Yuan Shu heard this, he remembered that when he was in Luoyang in his early years, Yuan Shao suppressed him in all aspects. And the elders in the family all supported Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao sat all the way to the high-ranking official of General Wei, but he Yuan Shu was an official position that did not enter the stream.
Yuan Shu nodded and said, "You must not sit back and watch Yuan Benchu become bigger, what do you think?" ”
Yang Hong said: "Under the rule of the lord, there are abundant products, and Qin Feng needs a lot of medicinal materials. It's useless to put it away, it's better to sell it to Qin Feng cheaper, it can also weaken Qin Feng's strength, and it can also prevent Yuan Shao from becoming bigger. Qin Feng and Yuan Shao continued to fight because of this, so that we could have a chance. ”
Yuan Shu wanted to think about himself, he agreed to reduce the price, and sent a messenger to tell Yuan Yin, the representative in front.
On the other hand.
Liu Biao also held a meeting after receiving the letter from Iraq.
In the hall, Liu Biao looked old, and after being quiet for a while, he involuntarily closed his eyes and took a nap.
Kuai Liang, Han Song, Wang Cang, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Wen Ping and others were all sitting below, and everyone sighed when they saw that their lord began to nap.
In fact, for Liu Biao's reign in recent years, the Jingzhou scholars were extremely dissatisfied, especially Liu Biao, in order to curry favor with Qin Feng, killed Kuai Yue, who had been advised, before the expedition to Rome.
Kuai Liang looked at Liu Biao, who was napping, and said nothing.
Han Song called: "Lord, lord? ”
"Huh?" As soon as Liu Biao opened his eyes, he hurriedly wiped his mouth, "What's the matter?" ”
Everyone's expressions were unnatural for a while, and Wen Ping hurriedly said: "Lord, now that Sun Ce's 100,000 army is pressing the border, General Jiangxia Huangzu is ......in a hurry. ”
Liu Biao's face changed, he always wanted to spend his old age in peace, but he just couldn't achieve this ideal, and Sun Ce came to him again. Since returning from the expedition, Liu Biao's forces have been sharply reduced. On the contrary, Sun Ce closely followed Qin Feng's footsteps and avoided the great rout of Ephesus. His master gave him a part of the property to sell the Roman land, and the power of Jiangdong completely rose.
Liu Biaobei felt pressured, and he cheered up and asked everyone: "You say, does Sun Ce really know how to fight, or is it to deal with his master?" ”
Wen Ping hurriedly said: "Lord, Sun Ce's army has begun to prepare to cross the river, how can he be in vain?" ”
Cai Mao said: "Lord, Sun Ce listens to his master's words the most, and his subordinates see that he is really here this time." What's more, when you ordered Huang Zu to plot against Sun Jian, this hatred of killing your father doesn't understand Dai Tian. ”
Liu Biao was a little irritable, at the beginning, he originally thought that if he killed Sun Jian, he would be able to sweep Jiangdong, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to get up, even more powerful than his father.
"Report ......." At this time, a disgraced spy ran in and shouted: "The lord is not in a good situation, General Huang Zu lost in the water battle, and Sun Ce has begun to wave his army to attack Jiangxia City." ”
Liu Biao couldn't stand it anymore, he was old, and he only wanted to spend his old age in peace, on the one hand, he sent Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Wen Ping to lead an army of 50,000 to support, and ordered the four counties of Jingnan to send troops to help.
He pondered for a moment in the end, and said, "Then let's reduce the price, but there is an additional condition, that is, let Qin Zijin order his apprentice Sun Wukong to withdraw his troops." ”
Kuai Liang, who had been silent, said lightly at this time: "I'm afraid it's difficult." ”
Liu Biaoren has a lot of people who look at him, and said: "You can't see this, Sun Ce is filial, as the saying goes, one day is a teacher and a father for life, and Sun Ce's father died early ......." ”
Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Qingzhou Jinan northwest Shanghe Port.
Qin Feng's side.
Qin Feng's envoys, Jia Xu and Pang Tong, sat in the hall this day, and they were all turning their fingers in contemplation.
At this time, Wei Yan walked in happily and said, "The two military advisors, Yuan Yin, the representative of Yuan Shu, are visiting. ”
Jia Xu and Pang Tong, who were in deep thought, also became happy, and Pang Tong said: "Then General Wei Yan and I will stay away for a while." ”
So, after a while, Jia Xu met with Yuan Yin in the conference hall.
After a period of bargaining, Yuan Yin glared, "Ten times, this is already the bottom line, besides, you have to be the first to trade with us." The 150,000 catties will be able to be transported here tomorrow and can be traded today. ”
Lao Jia Xu nodded and said, "I also have an additional condition here, the medicinal materials in Jiangdong need to cross the border safely from Yuan Gong." ”
"That's no problem at all." Yuan Yin said.
Lao Jia Xu was delighted, Sun Ce had 200,000 jin there, plus 200,000 jin from Ma Teng and Cao Cao, plus 150,000 jin from Yuan Shu. The need for one million catties has been solved by 550,000 catties. He got up and said, "In this case, the grain and grass prepared by our side are gathered in the plain county on the other side. After tomorrow's meeting, you can start trading. ”
After sending Yuan Yin away, Liu Biao's representative of Yi came to visit, and this time it was Pang Tong who came forward.
The final price was set at ten times that of Liu Biao, the plenipotentiary of Iraq, and there were additional conditions, that is, Sun Ce was required to withdraw from the army.
When Sun Ce withdrew from the army, Pang Tong didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he quickly reported to Qin Feng.
There was news overnight that Qin Feng didn't care about this matter.
Early in the morning, Yi was very dissatisfied after getting the news, and walked away and said: "Obviously, the prime minister favors one over the other and helps his apprentice, and this deal is over." ”
Pang Tong was secretly anxious, Qin Feng did not let Sun Ce really attack Jingzhou, Sun Ce is now serious, obviously to avenge the killing of his father. And Qin Feng didn't care about the reason for this, Pang Tong could also guess some. However, if you can't complete the transaction with Liu Biao because of this, and only complete Yuan Shu's family, it will be difficult to break Yuan Shao's scheme.
"What can I do?" Pang Tong was anxious, and saw that Yi had already walked out. (To be continued.) )
