The latest chapter of "The Three Kingdoms: Runan Chen Bozhi"...

Kuai Liang is gone, Chen Lin looked at Kuai Liang's back, and couldn't help laughing, Xiaoxiao, if you want to play negotiation with me, you know that you literati have a lot of ideas and sharp words, but if you don't give you a chance, what can you do. After laughing www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", Chen Lin became hazy again, there were too many problems worth Chen Lin to worry about. This time, even if the King of Chu had no intention of being an enemy of Yizhou, he was so ruthlessly pitted by Chen Lin that he was afraid that he would be resentful in the future. But Chen Lin did not regret it, and knew that it might be like this. But in this world, there are no eternal allies, just like Liu Bei, not to mention that Chen Lin and the King of Chu do not have any covenant. Whether it is Shangyong or Hanzhong, this time the damage is not small, Chen Lin naturally hopes to scrape as much as possible from King Chu. Chen Lin decided that the matter in Hanzhong must not involve Shuzhong, and similarly, this time in Shuzhong, Chen Lin also intends to use Shuzhong's own strength to solve the matter of the Nanban and the rebels. In this way, no matter which side has a problem, half of Yizhou's territory can be recuperated.

Chen Lin turned around: "Huang Yan, what's going on with Nan Zheng?" Chen Lin couldn't ask Zhang Song, after all, this rebellion had something to do with Zhang Song. Huang Yan: "The eldest young master, they are basically stable, and the imprisoned officials, now Lord Yan has sent people to make up for them, and it will not affect the governance." It's just that Mr. Jia sent a letter, and Mr. Jia agreed with the barbarian strategy, saying that the lord can implement it, but patience is needed. Also, Mr. Jia said that this Shangyong County has been recovered, and the officials here can be reused, as long as some important official positions are trustworthy people. ”

Chen Lin nodded: "What Wen He said is right, the matter of Nanzhong cannot be solved in a short period of time, and the heart is the first, to achieve this goal, to solve the problem of Nanban once and for all, there is no one or two years that cannot be done." As for the affairs of Shangyong's side, Wen He and King Gu coincided, as long as these officials did not participate in the rebellion of the Shu sergeant clan this time, the matter of having to take refuge in Yuan Highway could be blamed for the past, and the officials could be reinstated. Huang Yan, hurry up and let Wen He come to Shangyong, and say that King Gu has something important to discuss with him. As if he had made up his mind, Chen Lin suddenly made a major decision.

Nearly 40,000 people joined in the excavation of the ravines outside Shangyong City, and the four city gates were blocked by soldiers and horses from the state, and Cai Mao was already determined to go out of the city. Kuai Liang came to negotiate, Cai Mao knew a little bit, presumably Cai Mao also realized in his heart, he was somersault this time. But now that Kuai Liang has come to negotiate, Cai Mao has no need to show his face, he can't afford to lose this person, so he just let Kuai Liang and Liu Biao deal with it.

Chen Lin's determination was rewarded, and on the fourth day, another person came to Jingzhou, presumably Kuai Liang had already reported Chen Lin's statement to Liu Biao, and Liu Biao also made a decision. However, the people who came this time made Chen Lin unexpected, Kuai Liang did not come, it was a Cai family who came, and Cai Zhong was also.

Chen Lin: "Hehe, General Cai, I've been fortunate all the way, I've been lucky." "Cai Zhong is Cai Mao's brother, and now Cai Mao is in Chen Lin's hands, and Cai Zhong hates and stammers with Chen Lin. Cai Zhong: "King Qin is polite, please." Chen Lin's eyes lit up, and Cai Zhong was even more good at two kinds of people.

The two sides sat down and had a banquet, Chen Lin was not in a hurry now, and he never mentioned Cai Mao's matter. In the end, it was Cai Zhong who spoke first, only to see Cai Zhong put down the wine bottle and clenched his fists with both hands: "King Qin, I must know why Cai Mou came here today, but what King Qin asked for was a bit excessive." My Cai family is a great family in Jingzhou, an indispensable general under the command of the King of Chu, and the 100,000 elite soldiers in Jingzhou are also eager for their general to return to Jingzhou, so the King of Qin can discuss it from the new. ”

Bargaining is necessary, and even people who don't know how to do business will instinctively go back to doing it, but they don't know how effective it will be. Half of Cai Zhong's words counteroffered, agreeing to the peace talks, and half of them were a little threatening, 100,000 elite soldiers.

Chen Lin smiled, not reassuring Cai Zhong's intimidation at all: "General Cai, no wonder they say that the two families of Jingzhou Cai Kuai are not compatible, but it turns out to be true." As soon as Chen Lin said this, Zhang Song immediately: "Lord, be cautious." "Cai Mao and Kuai Liang are not in agreement, this is known to everyone, but after all, they are ministers in the same hall, Chen Lin's words are not in line with the laws of diplomacy at all, Zhang Song is crowded. However, Chen Lin's words made Cai Zhongzhong cold, but he focused on the overall situation: "King Qin is joking, what does this have to do with Lord Shang Shuling, King Qin said and laughed." ”

Zhang Song hurriedly shook his head, facing Chen Lin, Chen Lin just didn't know, and said: "General Cai smiled, but your Mr. Kuai came before, and today General Cai came again, but it was a different feeling, so King Gu blurted out, and he smiled when he saw it." If King Gu hadn't listened to what General Cai said today, he would really have thought that as Mr. Kuai said, General Cai Mao was really not worth the price that King Chu had to pay. As soon as Chen Lin's words came out, Zhang Song, who was nervously worried that Chen Lin had said the wrong thing, was suddenly overjoyed, and secretly said that this was the case. This is clearly to sow discord, in fact, Kuai Liang is still roaming sincerely, but today Chen Lin said that Kuai Liang has no intention of negotiating, that is, he doesn't care about Cai Mao's life or death. Zhang Song finally understood why Chen Lin, who had always been a corporal of courtesy, had such an attitude towards Kuai Liang, his feelings were just to stimulate Kuai Liang, did Chen Lin also calculate that this time Kuai Liang would not come again, and it would be Cai Mao's people? It was so terrible, Zhang Song couldn't help but glance at Chen Lin, only to see that Chen Lin still looked intentional or unintentional.

Chen Lin seemed to be unintentional, but secretly observed Cai Zhong's expression, only to see Cai Zhong's eyebrows between the clouds, Chen Lin said happily in his heart, it seems that you are busy again. Cai Zhong: "King Qin misunderstood, misunderstood, Lord Shang Shuling is a literati, maybe King Qin will not be clear about Lord Shang Shuling's temperament for a while, Lord Shang Shuling is indeed very comparable, misunderstood, misunderstood." "Cai Zhong is a native of Jingzhou after all, and externally, he still takes the overall situation into account.

Chen Lin didn't care, he smiled lightly, even if it passed. Zhang Song had already understood Chen Lin's path at this time, so he said: "General Cai said that the 100,000 elite soldiers under the command of the King of Chu are really the overlords of the Central Plains, but Zhang has some doubts to consult General Cai, and he also asks General Cai to give advice. ”

Cai Zhong turned around and nodded at Zhang Song: "I don't know what Mr. should call me?" Chen Lin looked at the two with a smile and didn't speak, Cai Zhong and Zhang Song, only Cai Zhong could suffer. Zhang Song: "Zhang Ziqiao, Zhang Ziqiao of Shu County, is a shallow learner, and he is the main secretary under the main account, I don't know if General Cai is willing to give advice." ”

Cai Zhong was taken aback, Zhang Song, there are a number of strategists under Chen Lin's command, Cai Zhong: "Sir, please speak." ”

Zhang Song: "Dare to ask the general, the front line of Yong'an, how much is the king of Chu and Chen Bing?" Chen Lin was also stunned, this, this is a military event, how can people tell you, but Chen Lin knows that Zhang Song is not a ridiculous person, Chen Lin tilted his head to see how Cai Mao answered. Sure enough, when Cai Zhong heard this, his brows furrowed, obviously not knowing what Zhang Song's intentions were.

But seeing that Zhang Song didn't wait for Cai Mao to hesitate, he said again: "General Cai doesn't have to answer, ask the general again, the four counties of Jingnan, the mountains are more frequent, how many troops did the King of Chu leave in Jingnan?" Jiangdong is strong, Sun Wentai Jiangdong Tigers, unified Jiangdong 81 prefectures, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the king of Chu left in the Jiangxia Yangtze River area? Fancheng, the northern gateway of Jingzhou, now the whole territory of Nanyang is about to fall into the hands of Zhang Shidu, I don't know if Zhang Shidu will look at Jingxiang, I don't know if the king of Chu has left enough defenders in Fancheng? "The question is not a question, but it is the feeling of being aggressive, but the tone on Zhang Song's mouth is so flat, as if all this is not a big deal.

When Chen Lin heard this, he was happy in his heart, it seems that Zhang Song is worthy of Zhang Song, and Jingzhou may not be safe and secure. Didn't you Kuailiang want to use the Southern Barbarian Rebellion to blackmail Chen Lin, well, please also look back at Jingzhou, what is the situation on all sides, 100,000 elite soldiers are true, but if you come hard, how many can you come to save Cai Mao?

Cai Zhong was furious when he heard this, but he found that what Zhang Song said seemed to be the truth. In Yong'an and other places, Liu Biao not only has to defend Yizhou Shuzhong, but Liu Biao is also not worried about Jia Long, so the army is inevitable. The four counties of Jingnan, although it is not the Shanyue that Zhang Song said, but it is almost the same as Shanyue, it is called Wuxi Man, Liu Biao also has to leave a large army in the south, and beware of the scholars in Jiaozhou. Not to mention the Jiangdong direction, Jiangxia even sent Huang Zu, the first fierce general in Jingzhou, to defend it, so can there be fewer troops? Fan Cheng, what Zhang Song said was also what Liu Biao was worried about. In this way, although Jingzhou has 100,000 elite soldiers, it can't draw too many soldiers and horses for a mediocre battle, 30,000 is the limit, Cai Zhong thought.

Chen Lin saw Zhang Song's smugness and Cai Zhong's silence, Chen Lin hurriedly laughed and said, "General Cai, come, drink this cup full." Cai Zhong was motionless, his heart turned sharply, the reason why he was sent this martial artist this time was because the Cai family strongly stated that a Cai family must come, and the other was that Liu Biao had basically agreed to Chen Lin's plan. You must know that the Cai family itself promised to bleed hemorrhage, who called it Cai Mao who was trapped.

Jingzhou is different from any other place ruled by princes, and it is necessary to say that every prince will have a minister to rely on, the Dashi clan. These nobles had great influence in the local area, and the princes had to reuse or even retreat to these nobles in order to rule. Just like Wu Yi in Yizhou, Yang Ren and others, the Sima family under Liu Bei, the Han family and so on. But none of them can be compared with Jingzhou, Liu Biao is the lord of Jingzhou, but there are very few who really belong to Liu Biao. The Wenchen family is dominated by the Kuai family, and the military generals are dominated by the Cai family, and there are many other scholars of different sizes. Every time there is a major national event, Liu Biao has to be subject to these scholars, like this time Chen Lin's conditions, as long as the Cai family agrees, Liu Biao can't say no. However, since the Cai family agreed, they must pay part of the money and food themselves, and even the Cai family spent money to ransom people. From another aspect, it shows that Liu Biao's influence is not a ruler in the real sense.

Cai Zhong: "King Qin, my lord wants the two families to reconcile, so the 200,000 grains, 150,000 taels of gold, and even 2,000 steel knives that King Qin said can be agreed, but these two hundred warships are absolutely impossible, and at the same time, my lord hopes to formally sign a five-year non-aggression pact with King Qin. ”

When Chen Lin heard this, it would have been good to do it earlier, half a month ago, this thing was only half of what it is now, why bother.
