"How is Lu Bu in Puyang? General Wangcai? I don't go out of the gate of Xuzhou, I don't know much about the situation outside, can you tell my old man? Tao Qian asked with a smile; Wei Hong smiled even more happily, he had already expected it, or the Cao Group had long expected that Tao Qian would take out Lu Bu, a nail in Yanzhou, to talk about things, so all actions would wait until Lu Bu was defeated; "Oh! Ahh I know! Wei Hong: "Lu Bu has been having a bad time lately!" I heard that I was going to defect to Yuan Shao again! ”

Defection to Yuan Shao? Don't... Even an idiot knows the meaning of this, how can Tao Qian not understand, pulling the corners of his mouth, Tao Qian knows that if he really can't come up with enough compensation this time, Cao Cao will definitely fight with him!

"Then let's talk about your requirements! Five million stone grains and grass! You're blackmailing! Tao Qian shifted the topic to the center of this negotiation, but Wei Hong seemed to be embarrassed by not giving him face; ...", Wei Hong shook his head and said nothing, his eyes revealed the meaning of persistence, which is to tell Tao Qian that grain and grass are indispensable!

"Can you negotiate with my lord on behalf of Cao Gong with full powers? What kind of attitude is this! Seeing Tao Qian's embarrassment, Chen Deng stepped forward and scolded angrily; Feel relieved! My lord has given me carte blanche to be my negotiator! You can't go wrong! Wei Hong glanced at him disdainfully; You! ...", Chen Deng angrily pointed at Wei Hong, who despised him, and couldn't say a word; "Stand down! Yuanlong! I'm free to decide! Tao Qian ordered with a cold face; Be! Tao Gong! Chen Deng gave a salute, stood back in his position, and then put on a smiling face again: "Wangcai!" I admit that Cao Gong's family suffered a great hardship because I used people inappropriately! In order to express my apologies and appease Cao Gong's anger, so as not to cause misery to the lives of the people of Yan and Xuzhou, I can accept compensation! ”

"But what! We in Xuzhou have just suffered a locust plague, even if there is some surplus food, do we have to think about the survival of the people in Xuzhou? If you insist on the compensation of 5 million stone grains and grass, then the entire people of Xuzhou will starve to death! Isn't that okay? ”

Retreat! This strategy is like, if you buy something in the mall, the owner tells you that there is indeed a problem with the product, but they also want to eat, so you should be more or less merciful and don't keep the price so low!

As a businessman, Wei Hong thought about Tao Qian's intentions in this way, although there were some differences in understanding, but the meaning was still very similar; Wei Hong smiled indifferently: "Not necessarily, right?" Tao Gong! The wealth of your Xuzhou is one of the best in the Han world! What can be compared is only the land of Jingzhou and Bashu, and all other states and counties have been invaded by wars and other invasions, but you Xuzhou has not, how many years have it been? You even said that there are no five million stones of grain and grass, how can I believe this when you say it? Could it be..."

"Gong Tao, you'd rather let the rice rot in the barn than help the people of Yanzhou, who have suffered for a long time, right? Could it be that your previous name of benevolence and righteousness was touted? You're not the one to make a name for yourself, are you? ”

Even secretly scolded and squeezed, Tao Qian, who was choked by Wei Hong's words, didn't speak for a long time; After a while, Tao Qian suddenly threw away the thin silk blanket covering his body, and pointed at Wei Hong angrily: "Wei Wangcai!" Don't be ashamed! I'm going to talk about three million stone grains and grass now! Do you want it or don't! If you want five million stones, no way! No, I won't give it to you even if I die! Love! ”

He really didn't want to give Cao Cao so much grain and grass, it was completely an act of the enemy, but in the current situation, he couldn't fight, and if he didn't give it, he couldn't do it, so he could only choose to give less; According to his spy report, Yanzhou has a population of at least three million, and these three million stone grains can only last for a month or two, and with this or two months of preparation time, Cao Cao will really come to beat him Tao Qian will not have so many scruples, and he can fight with him to the end; If Cao Cao knew that Tao Qian secretly gave him a demographic survey, I believe he would be very happy, why? Save trouble!

Just as Tao Qian was smug about his wise decision, Wei Hong's bachelor over there saluted and thanked: "Thank you Tao Gong for your generosity!" Zhongkang! Get ready to transport grain and grass! ”

I rub! This position is too unfirm! Didn't you say before that you wouldn't reduce the price? How did it get so fast? Tao Qian's eyes were black and he almost fainted, this bastard, count me again!

It is not surprising that Wei Hong has this kind of decision, because the price set by the Cao Group after the internal agreement is this price, and if there is more, I am afraid that it will not come, and if it is less, it will not be enough to fill the vacancy, and the reason why Wei Hong will increase the price without authorization is completely out of the nature of businessmen; Accept it when you see it, this is also the basic characteristic of a businessman, and Tao Qian looks really angry, and Wei Hong can't bear to stimulate him anymore..."Bastard! Bastard...", Tao Qian couldn't suppress his anger and scolded in a low voice; Wei Hong turned the figure who was about to say goodbye and said, "What did you say, Tao Gong?" Yes! … I know! Rest assured! With these life-saving foods, my lord won't come again! You know! ”

"You... Get lost! Tao Qian felt that his lungs were about to explode today, for more than 60 years, how could he ever be so angry as today; Wei Hong licked his face and smiled: "The last word!" Tao Gong! As soon as possible! Otherwise, the people of Yanzhou will have nothing to eat, and when the time comes... You still get it! Hahaha..."

Wei Hong's words were blocked, and Tao Qian wanted to pay in installments and delay the arrears carefully; It seems that the old and spicy businessman is really suitable to be this kind of negotiation envoy!

swaggering all the way out of Xiapi City, Wei Hong and Xu Chu looked at each other and laughed, and it was rampant laughter, the voice spread far and wide, and it took a long time for the two of them to hold back their laughter; Wei Hong turned around and sighed, "Finally out of the breath!" But! This Tao Qian seems to be a dry bone in the grave, and he has been alive for a few days, and the lord and Huaide want to clean him up with their own hands, I'm afraid it's no fun! ”

Xu Chu snorted: "Don't worry! Mr. Wilder has said that if he dies, it will dig up his grave and give him the retribution he deserves! War! He shouldn't have been involved in innocent people, Tao Qian, if he didn't follow the rules, he would get retribution! ”

"In war, there is no innocent or innocent, Tao Qian's actions are only related to basic moral issues! That is, the problem of character, if the character is not good, the end will not be much better! All right! Let's go! After receiving the grain and grass, return to Yanzhou! Wei Hong shook his fingers and walked forward easily; …… Dividing line

Carefully transported these grains and grasses named "Hope" to Taishan County, Yanzhou, and then transported them all the way from Taishan County to Xuchang City. Maybe some of these grains and plants are already a little moldy and spoiled, (don't expect people to give you too good things, that's what you came for nothing!) If you can bear it, you can bear it! But the arrival of these grains and grasses has undoubtedly brought hope to the people of Yanzhou, and Yanzhou is also an unprecedented unity within Yanzhou; "Angry~~~", Li Yu sniffed the grain and grass, although there was still some moldy smell like rotten leaves, but he was still intoxicated; After defeating Lu Bu, Cao Cao led his army and horses all the way back to Xuchang to prepare for the next stage of the strategy.

"Good, good! All right! Tao Qian, an old immortal, is still an acquaintance! Li Yu clapped his hands: "Lord, we are making the final preparations to go west to Hangu and attack Luoyang!" However, we're about to start our operations now! ”

"yes!" , Cao Cao sighed, and then laughed: "Hahaha! Come on, come on! Come to the council chamber! It's time for us to talk about it! ”
