Chapter 637: Cao Cao's Gift List
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
"Whew! Call! Whew"
“”
Yang Rui's large-scale national collapse and rushing javelin roared almost all night, until the sky was getting brighter, Yang Rui put it all away, and ordered all his troops to set up camp outside Fengqiu County, looking like they were going to be besieged for a long time.
This night Cao Cao's troops were not quiet, in the first half of the night and Yuan Shu a big battle, in the fruits of victory almost at your fingertips, but ushered in Yuan Shu's terrifying number of reinforcements, and finally was besieged again in Fengqiu County, suffering a night of cannonballs and crossbows.
At this time, Fengqiu County looked at the past, the city wall was full of scars, especially in the direction of the West City Gate, which was ravaged overnight by the collapse of 40 large gates, the city gate tower and the city wall were full of potholes, and it was a mess.
There were only a few soldiers scattered around the city gate tower and the city wall, and most of the time they hid behind the female wall, and from time to time thieves would show their heads out to investigate.
After observing in the middle of the night, Cao Cao's troops also learned well, and they found that the soldiers besieging the city did not seem to have any intention of attacking the city, so they took turns to send people to guard the city, while the others hid under the city walls or inside the city gate tower.
However, Yang Rui quickly withdrew the large-scale national collapse and rushing cars that raged in the middle of the night, which made the soldiers in Fengqiu City a little uncomfortable, not to mention the soldiers, even if they were as shrewd as Cao Cao, they couldn't understand it.
"Brother Highway, Qingzhou Plain County is in an emergency, Yuan Benchu took advantage of the absence of my main force and caused trouble behind his back, at this time I must return to Qingzhou to deal with Yuan Benchu. I don't know what Brother Highway has planned. Do you want to return to Yuzhou immediately? ”
Inside the big tent outside the city of Fengqiu. Yang Rui said to Yuan Shu seriously.
Next, Yang Rui was ready to blackmail Cao Cao, there was always some inconvenience when Yuan Shu was present, Yang Rui couldn't find a suitable excuse to support Yuan Shu, Guo Jia had already found a suitable reason for him.
"Ugh! This is exactly what happened. ”
Yuan Shuyan said, thinking that it was no wonder that the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou were just besieging but not attacking, it turned out that the territory of Qingzhou was threatened by Yuan Shao, which could explain why this Lieyang Prefecture Pastor seemed to have given up his plan to attack the city.
At the same time, Yuan Shu also had a lot of balance in his heart, if Qingzhou dispatched so many soldiers and horses. is still not afraid of Yuan Shao's attack, in that case, the Qingzhou army will be very terrifying! Now it seems that this scorching sun is taking most of the troops in Qingzhou with him.
"Yuan Shao's son is indeed a scoundrel, Brother Lieyang quickly returned to Qingzhou, but he cheapened Cao Cao's thieves, so I should return to Yuzhou and reorganize my troops in order to fight Cao Cao again."
Perhaps it was because he was rescued by Yang Rui before, or he was deceived by Cao Cao's hatred, so Yuan Shu believed Yang Rui's words lightly. Turned back to Yuzhou and went.
Of course, this is also related to the agreement reached between Yuan Shu and Yang Rui before. This agreement was not as comprehensive as the agreement between Yang Rui and Qiao Mao, Ding Yuan, and Han Fu, but only agreed that if Party B and Cao Cao were at war, the two sides would automatically form an alliance against Cao Cao.
Similar to the "wartime alliance agreement" in reality, after seeing Yang Rui's strong strength and having an indissoluble enmity with Cao Cao, this agreement was quickly accepted by Yuan Shu once Yang Rui proposed it.
This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Shu will leave happily.
Yuan Shu left, and the rest of the things were much easier, and Yang Rui was not in a hurry, and was ready to besiege the city for a few days before speaking.
At this time, the situation in Yanzhou has been decided, Qiao Mao and Ding Yuan are rectifying in Yanzhou in the rear, Yuan Shao of Jizhou is powerless to threaten Qingzhou, and Liu Dai of Dongjun does not dare to act rashly, not to mention that at this time, Zhang Liao and Chen Lin have been liberated by a force, and Liu Dai does not dare to act rashly.
Such a siege without attacking had a lot of pressure on Cao Cao's troops in Fengqiu County, and half a day had just passed, and Cao Cao had already sent an envoy out to find Yang Rui's big tent.
"Cao Cao's envoy - Mao Jue asks to see the lord, please make it public!"
Cao Cao's envoy is here, but Cao Cao's problem of liking to show his IQ is reflected again, and the envoy Mao Jie has not yet entered the big tent and has already named Yang Rui to see him, you must know that although Yang Rui's troops surrounded Fengqiu City, they did not raise any banner, even so they were recognized by Cao Cao.
Under normal circumstances, it doesn't matter, what kind of IQ is still showing at this time, I don't know if Cao Cao wants to resonate with Yang Rui, or if he is not thoughtful for a while, if he is replaced by other princes here, he can hide and be identified by Cao Cao, I don't know what kind of love it will be.
Yang Rui doesn't care, whether Cao Cao has recognized his identity is just his eyesight for Yang Rui, at this time Cao Cao can send a messenger to ask for a meeting, which just meets Yang Rui's needs, but I don't know if Cao Cao can see this.
"Pass him in."
exchanged glances with Guo Jia, Gao Shun and a few others in the big tent, and Yang Rui asked the herald to bring Mao Jue into the big tent.
When he was in Changyi City, Yang Rui had dealt with Mao Jue, although he had no direct contact with him, but Yang Rui also knew that this person was talented.
In historical facts, many of Cao Cao's practical policies actually have a lot to do with Mao Jue, such as Cao Cao's implementation of the tuntian system and the two major policies of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, in fact, they were first proposed by Mao Jue, but the sources in the romance and wild history have been slightly modified.
In Yang Rui's eyes, this person's talent and value are even no less than any high-level strategists and internal affairs talents within Cao Cao's group.
However, at this time, Mao Jue already recognized Cao Cao as the master, even if Yang Rui had any thoughts, there was not much room for maneuver.
"Chen Liutai's envoy to Cao Cao, Mao Jue, has seen the Lieyang Qingzhou Prefecture Pastor and the King of Bohai! The previous time I was on the battle array, Mao Jue didn't know the identity of the adult, and I ask for your forgiveness for the rudeness."
After Mao Jue was introduced into Yang Rui's tent by the herald soldiers, he glanced around and saluted Yang Rui respectfully.
During the battle of Changyi City, Mao Jue had a conversation with Yang Rui before the battle. That's why Yang Rui can be recognized.
It's just a simple sentence. What Mao Jue said cleverly revealed a lot of information. Among them, the most significant is Cao Cao's identity, which has become the original "Chen Liutaishou" in Mao Jue's mouth, and not any other title.
You must know that not long ago, Cao Cao also occupied Changyi City, the seat of Yanzhou governance, and he had a great intention of taking the position of Yanzhou assassin!
At this time, Cao Cao's envoy Mao Jue took the initiative to change his title to "Chen Liutaishou", which also revealed that he took the initiative to give up the competition for Yanzhou's territory, and was willing to curl up his power within the scope of Chenliu County, and no longer had other ideas.
It is estimated that this is also because Mao Jue personally participated in the battle of Changyi City and knew about the intervention of Yang Rui's forces. As well as all the ground conditions in Yanzhou, this led Cao Cao to make such a choice, and it is undeniable that Cao Cao is still very wise at this point.
"Oh"
In the face of Mao Jue's enthusiasm, Yang Rui just responded softly, looking unhurried and impatient.
"Lord Lieyang Prefecture Pastor and King Bohai, the previous incident in Yanzhou was indeed a misunderstanding, and my lord Cao Cao was bewitched and coerced by Yuan Shao, so he took a wrong step, and I also ask Lord Zhou Mu to understand. Give our Lord a chance to mend his ways"
Seeing Yang Rui's expression, Mao Jue said frankly. put his body very low, almost knowing that he had come as a messenger to confess his sins to Yang Rui!
With the comparison of strength inside and outside Fengqiu County at this time, Cao Cao has no way to do this, although he is good at calculation, but he never thought that he was calculated to death by Yang Rui, so that it caused the current situation that it is difficult to ride a tiger.
The main reason is that Yang Rui returned too suddenly, Cao Cao didn't take Yang Rui into account at all from the beginning, so that no matter how Cao Cao calculated before, from the moment Yang Rui suddenly appeared, everything he had planned and built before collapsed instantly.
"Lord Lieyang Prefecture and King of Bohai, this is a congratulatory gift prepared by my lord Cao Cao to congratulate your lord on his triumphant return from the exotic space, and please take a look at it."
Seeing that Yang Rui still didn't mean to spit out, Mao Jue simply took out a "gift list" from his long sleeves and respectfully passed it to Yang Rui's hands, saying that it was a "gift list", in fact, it was obviously more appropriate to call it a "compensation list", Cao Cao was conscious and wise, and before Yang Rui could ask for it, he took the initiative to mention the matter.
"Money: 1,000,000 gold coins;
Grain: 10 million units;
Timber: 10 million units;
Stone: 10 million units;
Best beauties: 1,000;
Excellent horses: 2,000 horses;
Architectural drawings: 100,000 copies (advanced or above)"
Cao Cao's compensation sheet was long enough to write two volumes almost full, but Yang Rui took it and glanced at it a few times and then smiled, these things
"Hahahaha Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde"
After seeing Cao Cao's "gift list", Yang Rui looked up to the sky and smiled, muttering two sentences of Cao Cao's name, Mao Jue was puzzled when he saw this, including Yang Rui, several generals present also moved their eyes to Yang Rui.
However, the doubts of several people in Yang Rui's department were only temporary, and when Yang Rui passed Cao Cao's "gift list" to the public, several people smiled and shook their heads after reading it, and they didn't say anything more.
Although there are many items on Cao Cao's "gift list", they are too ordinary for Yang Rui's land of Qingzhou!
Yang Rui is really not short of basic resources such as grain, wood, and stone, and even most of them are so much that there is almost no place to put them, and some other items on the "gift list" are also common to see, and most of them can be bought with money, and the most valuable one is the 1 million gold coins.
However, even if 1 million gold coins is already a lot of money, it is indeed not a lot of money for Yang Rui now, which is also the main reason why Yang Rui will look up to the sky and smile.
As for the "best beauties" mentioned in the "gift list", Cao Cao probably set them according to his own preferences, but it is not very attractive to Yang Rui, there are not a few real "best beauties" around him, and the level is far beyond those who can be on the gift list!
The funniest thing is that Cao Cao actually put the beauty and the horse together, and Yang Rui finally laughed out loud when he saw this, but he definitely wouldn't show it.
"Lieyang Prefecture Mu, Lord Bohai King, this"
Mao Jue was very puzzled by Yang Rui's long smile and the expressions of several people present, in his opinion, Cao Cao's "gift list" was enough, but the expressions of these people in Qingzhou in front of him looked very wrong, obviously there were a lot of problems in the "gift list"!
However, Mao Jue couldn't ask too bluntly, so he could only speak tentatively, hoping that the other party could relieve his doubts.
"Filial piety doesn't have to care, but the things given by the lord of the Ru family are not lacking in this king, so he just smiles"
In the face of Mao Jue's doubts, this time Yang Rui's attitude was much gentler, and he directly called Mao Jue's name, no longer as cold as before.
"In this way, I don't know what the requirements of the Lieyang Prefecture Pastor and the King of Bohai are, I will turn back to the lord.
The lord has often mentioned the state pastor, the king of Bohai, and remembered the scene of the captain in the West Park in the past, this time the lord was indeed bewitched and coerced by Yuan Benchu, so he would make a mistake, and please forgive me.
With Yuan Benchu's intention, he originally wanted the lord of my family to cooperate with Liu Dai to jointly attack the land of Dongjun, but he was decided to shirk by the lord.
Mao Jue also sensed the change in Yang Rui's tone and attitude, and knew that the core content was to be involved, so he lowered his posture again and said a lot of good things, which was basically asking for Yang Rui's understanding.
"Oh~~~ Filial piety doesn't have to be like this, as you said, in the past when the West Garden, I had a great fate with Meng De, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't be so polite today, I directly waved the army to take Fengqiu County, and captured Meng De to ask for the guilt, hahaha"
"That's it! That's it."
With the deepening of the dialogue between Yang Rui and Mao Jue, the negotiations between the two sides have gradually entered the substantive stage, and other friendships and the like are actually fake, which Yang Rui and Mao Jie are very clear about, at this time it is just a matter of raising chips.
"The lord of my family knows that Qingzhou is rich, so when he was leaving, he once told him that if there is any dissatisfaction with the Lieyang Prefecture Mu and the King of Bohai, he should revise it, I don't know what the adults need."
After some conversation, the emotional cards of the two sides were also played similarly, and Mao Jue couldn't help but mention the matter of chips again. (To be continued......) R1292
