After less than two hours, Bai Mo and Bi Shu gathered again in the East Sanli Pavilion of Linzi City.

However, the last time they got together, Bishu only invited Bai Mo to play chess, but this time they gathered, Bai Mo put on a real wine feast.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Bai Mo expressed his intention to Bi Shu, and Bi Shu had already expected this.

"Mikawa-gun!" Bi Shu didn't go around in circles with Bai Moduo, and directly showed his hole cards, "As long as the Han State promises to cede Sanchuan County to the Chu State, the Chu State will promise to send troops to deal with the Xiongnu." ”

Hu Yan was dumbfounded when he heard this, the general is too direct, how can there be such a condition?

Bi Shu's move is obviously not in line with the consistent principle of negotiation, negotiation, usually one party asks for a price, the other party sits on the ground to bargain, and then the two sides continue to make compromises, make concessions, try to negotiate with a price acceptable to both parties, how can there be like Bi Shu, as soon as he comes up, he directly shows his own hole cards?

"Foolish dreams!" Zhou Guanfu said angrily, "Don't talk about a county, even a county, a township or even a pavilion will not be ceded to you!" "In the Warring States Period, it was actually the norm to cede land and make peace, even the Qin State, before Wei Ying's reform, had repeatedly ceded land to the then overlord Wei State, which made Zhou Guanfu unhappy was Bi Shu's face.

Bai Mo felt a strong pressure, Bi Shu didn't give him a chance to bargain at all.

In the negotiation, when a certain party shows its hole cards as soon as it comes up, it means that this party is already bound to win this negotiation, in other words, whether Bai Mo agrees or not, Chu is already bound to Sanchuan County!

Bai Mo must admit that after the loss of Wuguan, the geographical location of Sanchuan County has become very embarrassing, because the Chu army can go around the flank of Hangu Pass when it sends troops from Wuguan. Even if you can't capture Hangu Pass. It can also cut off the connection between Sanchuan County and Guanzhong, coupled with the blockade of the river by the Chu State Water Army, Sanchuan County will become a Jedi!

Under the long-term siege and blockade of the Chu army. The loss of Mikawa County is a matter of time.

Originally, if this time the Lian Heng countries succeeded, Bai Mo was not afraid that the Chu State would covet Sanchuan County. He even considered using Sanchuan County as a bait to design a huge trap for the Chu State, but now that Lianheng has failed, this idea has come to naught, and the Chu State will use troops against Sanchuan County again, and the Han State alone will really not be able to resist it.

Especially now that the Xiongnu are preparing to use troops on Hexi, the threat of Hexi to Guanzhong is too great, once Hexi is occupied by the Xiongnu, Guanzhong will have no peace, which forces the Han army to pay more attention to Hexi. The strength of the Han army was already very tight, so it was even more difficult for Sanchuan County to take care of it.

If the state of Chu takes this opportunity to use troops against Sanchuan County. Ten of you can get it.

Although Bai Mo is very reluctant to admit it. However, the huge gap between Chu and Han in terms of national strength and military strength is obvious, after the two major wars last year. If necessary, it should be no problem for Chu to launch an army of 100,000 to attack Sanchuan County, but Guanzhong may not be able to draw a single soldier to rescue Sanchuan.

Bi Shu said with a smile: "Senior brother, Hexi and Guanzhong are only separated by a river, once the Yueshi, Xiutu, and Hun evil tribes are destroyed by the Xiongnu, then Guanzhong will have to face the endless attacks of the Huns, this result is much worse than losing a lonely Sanchuan County in the eastern part of the Kanto, which is more important, senior brother should be able to distinguish clearly, right?" ”

Zhou Guanfu sneered and said: "Hmph, you are just alarmist, the Huns are ordinary, not to mention whether they can destroy the Yue clan and other departments, even if they really destroy the Yue clan and occupy Hexi, there is no threat to my Han country, in front of my Han hussars, the Huns are a fart at most?" "...," really? Bi Shu said lightly, "Champion Hou Don't be too confident, General Ben has heard that since the Huns captured tens of thousands of craftsmen from Yan Zhao and Handi, they have all used sharp iron swords and sophisticated riding bows, and in the face of a large number of well-equipped Hun cavalry, how many chances can the Han hussars have?" ”

Zhou Guanfu said coldly: "Well, I won't bother you with General Bi, hum!" ”

Bi Shu smiled, and said to Bai Mo: "Senior brother, junior brother will not hide it from you, the Xiao cavalry army, one of the three forbidden armies of Great Chu, has completed the assembly, if the Han State does not cede Sanchuan County, we can only take it ourselves, but if the Han State is willing to cede Sanchuan County, then the Xiao cavalry army can go on an expedition to Mobei and intercept the Xiongnu lair." ”

Bai Mo's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, do you know where the Huns' lair is?" ”

At this time, the Central Plains world did not know much about the Xiongnu, only knew that the Xiongnu were a powerful nomadic people, but how many people the Xiongnu were, how many strong men, how much territory and where Shan Yuting was located, few people in the Central Plains world knew, but these are not secrets to Huyan.

Bi Shu just looked at Hu Yan with his eyes, smiled and said nothing, Bai Mo suddenly realized: "Little brother forgot, this wolf under your account is from the desert." ”

"Senior brother, just give me a happy word." Bi Shu said, "As long as you cede Sanchuan County, then Chu and Han will be able to unite with the outside world, and you and I can also work together to defeat the Xiongnu." After a pause, Bi Shu said, "To be honest, sooner or later, the Xiongnu will become the henchmen of the Huaxia clan, and the younger brother also hopes to solve it as soon as possible." ”

Bai Mo suddenly fell into a violent struggle, to cede or not to cede?

Cession, it will damage the prestige of the Han Dynasty, and even more damage to his prestige, but it can be exchanged for the full cooperation of the Chu army, if the Chu army can really take advantage of the situation to destroy the Xiongnu's lair and eradicate the threat of the Xiongnu in one fell swoop, this is undoubtedly beneficial to the Han State, because from then on, the Han State will no longer have to worry about the threat from the north, and the 100,000 troops stationed in Jiuyuan will be able to untie it!

Don't cede it, the national prestige of the Han Dynasty and his personal prestige are preserved, but in the end, Sanchuan County will inevitably be occupied by the Chu army, and more seriously, the power of the Han State alone may not be able to keep the Yueshi, Xiutu, and Hun evil tribes in Hexi, once the Hexi tribes are conquered by the Xiongnu, the result will be disastrous.

A wry smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Bai Mo's mouth, and he seemed to have no choice.

Seeing that Bai Mo was a little hesitant, Zhou Guanfu hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, I can't agree!" ”

"Katsuyuki, don't say it." Bai Mo shook his head with a wry smile, stretched out his right hand to Bi Shu again, and said, "A promise will come out." ”

"It's not easy to make a thousand dollars!" Bi Shu stretched out his right hand and high-fived Bai Mo heavily, and said, "Sanchuan County must be handed over within half a month, and the younger brother will also take the Xiao cavalry army to cross the river to the north and go deep into the desert to sweep the Xiongnu lair!" ”

Ziling, the palace of the king of Chu.

Xiang Zhuang was discussing with Baili Xian in the study, Qu Bucai suddenly walked in in a hurry, and reported: "King, good news, good news, the general did not spend a single soldier, and only took Sanchuan County with a three-inch tongue!" ”

"Oh? How can this be? Xiang Zhuang was greatly surprised when he heard this, and immediately took the secret letter from Qu Bucai's hand.

Bai Lixian came over to read the secret letter, and couldn't help but say, "The general will really pick the right time to reach out." ”

Xiang Zhuang was "Longyan Dayue", laughed and said: "It is worthy of being a general, Bai Mo must have been depressed to the point of not being able to do it after eating this stuffy stick, hahaha." ”

Bai Lixian shook his head and sighed: "In fact, Bai Mo's loss is also expected, after all, he is a Hanchen, I don't know your heart and mind, he only knows that the king sees the Xiongnu as a threat, but he doesn't know that you regard the Xiongnu as the biggest threat, even if the Han State does not make any concessions, the king will also send troops to attack the Xiongnu." ..., Xiang Zhuang smiled slightly, and said thoughtfully: "It is not the intention of the widow to seek Sanchuan County at this time, but it is good to take Sanchuan County." "Xiang Zhuang doesn't care much about Sanchuan County, but he cares a lot about Luoyang City, after capturing Luoyang, he can implement a huge plan that has been planned in his chest for a long time.

On the galloping road from Linzi to Handan, three hundred Han hussars were hurrying overnight.

Zhou Guanfu complained to Bai Mo while riding his horse: "Prime Minister, you really shouldn't agree." ”

Zhou Guanfu did not doubt Bi Shu's promise, in this era, the country has a national character, the individual has integrity, and they all attach great importance to the integrity of the promise, since the state of Chu and Bi Shu promised to join forces with the Han army to fight the Xiongnu, they will definitely fulfill their promises, and they will not do treachery, Zhou Guanfu just feels that this move is detrimental to the national prestige of the Han State.

Bai Mo sighed and said: "Shengzhi, if the Chu army uses troops against Sanchuan County at this time, do you think it can be defended?" ”

"I'm afraid I can't hold it." Zhou Guanfu replied truthfully, and then said, "But even if you can't hold it, you can definitely make the Chu Guoyan pay a heavy price, and the territory of our Great Han Kingdom is not so easy to take." ”

"If we stick to Sanchuan County, the Chu army will certainly pay a heavy price, but our losses will not be small." Bai Mo sighed again, and said helplessly, "With the national strength and strength of today's Chu State, losing tens of thousands of people is nothing, but the source of our Great Han Kingdom has been exhausted, and we can't afford to lose too many strong men." ”

Zhou Guanfu also sighed, and said with some annoyance: "I just feel a little guilty." ”

"This matter is indeed a wretch, but it can't be too cheap for Chu State." Bai Mo said again, "I have asked Hei Bingtai to pass a message to Luoyang Feige, and asked General Lishang to immediately mobilize the people of Sanchuan to move to Guanzhong, and we can cede the land of Sanchuan County to the Chu State, but the hundreds of thousands of people in Sanchuan County must move back to Guanzhong." ”

Zhou Guanfu was stunned and said: "Move the people of Sanchuan County into Guanzhong? ”

"Yes, move all the people of Sanchuan County into Guanzhong." Bai Mo nodded and said, "We can cede Sanchuan County, but we can only give up an empty city and a piece of white land!" ”
