Chapter 265: Negotiation

Wen Ping clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the last general pleads to kill Zhuge Liang, and then use his head to sacrifice the flag and go out to attack Nanyang County." In Wen Ping's heart, he couldn't wait to kill Zhuge Liang first. Then go north to Xinye to defeat Liu Bei.

When the time comes, see how arrogant Liu Bei is.

Zhuge Liang's expression was very calm, and he said slowly: "General Wen, whether to kill me or not depends on the consideration of Master Xiu." When you do this, you're taking the lead. In the next opinion, it is impossible for Gongzi Xiu to kill me. ”

Strong self-confidence, even ignoring the clerk.

This demeanor made Wen Ping even more angry.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "General Zhongye, the person who comes is a guest, don't be rude to Kong Ming." ”

Wen Ping snorted and sat down with a muffled hum. Wen Ping did not have a good impression of Liu Bei, and in his opinion, Liu Bei had ulterior intentions and intended to seize Jingzhou. Moreover, he had a conflict with Zhang Fei in Xinye, and he was even more hostile to Liu Bei's three brothers.

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Xiu Gongzi, Jingzhou is in internal strife, and the only ones who will benefit in the end can be Cao Cao and Sun Quan." At that time, all the achievements of the prince Xiu in Yuzhang County will be lost, and the lord will also face Cao Cao's attack, which will be an unfavorable situation for both sides. ”

Xu Shu smiled and said: "Kong Ming, if it is consumed, who will be dragged to death first?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhuge Liang's expression changed slightly.

Once the battle between the two sides becomes a war of attrition, or even a protracted war, it will be very unfavorable to Liu Bei. Even with the support of Wuling County and Nangun, it is difficult to achieve results.

After all, Liu Xiu inherited Jingzhou, has a deeper foundation, and occupies the righteousness.

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Yuan Zhi will really be scary, once he drags my lord to death." At that time, Xiu Gongzi's life may not be much better, let alone Cao Cao's southward movement, even if Sun Quan kills him, Xiu Gongzi will be difficult to resist. At that time, Xiu Gongzi can only be defeated. ”

Xu Shu said: "If you are small and big, you may not fail." Besides, Sun Quan is not a demon or a monster, and he is not unbeatable. I think that at the beginning, Xiu Gongzi did not have many troops, but he also defeated Zhou Yu and Tai Shici. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "This time is different from the past, Sun Quan was defeated once, suffered a big loss, and will never underestimate the enemy in the future." It is impossible to defeat Sun Quan easily. ”

The two of you come and go,-for-tat sentence by sentence.

However, it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

Liu Xiu took over and said, "It is impossible for Kong Ming to ask me to admit Liu Qi's Jingzhou pastor. This is the most fundamental bottom line and cannot be trampled on. If you think that with the support of Wuling County and Nan County, you think that you can threaten me, then you are wrong. It's not difficult to defeat them. If I insist on going my own way and go straight to Xinye, Liu Bei will be difficult to support. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "I believe that Master Xiu is not a reckless person. Therefore, I think that Master Xiu will definitely not do such a detrimental thing. ”

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "Kong Ming, in fact, when I heard the news of your coming, I had an idea. ”

"What do you think," Zhuge Liang asked.

Liu Xiu said: "Kill you, get rid of Liu Bei's brains." Liu Bei is a hero in the world and has outstanding ability, but he has a great shortcoming, that is, a lack of strategists. The reason why Liu Bei is thriving now is also because you helped him plan. As long as he kills you, Liu Bei will lose his eyes, and it will be difficult to see the road ahead. ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said: "You said that without you, Liu Bei and Liu Qi are still worried In my eyes, as long as I kill you, I have already solved the biggest problem of this battle." In my opinion, the rebellion of Nanjun and Wuling County is also your reason. ”

The slightest coldness and murderous aura permeated out.

Liu Xiu's eyes flashed with a cold light, which was chilling.

Zhuge Liang was surprised, he didn't expect Liu Xiu to have such a plan, and even judged that he sent someone to persuade the Taishou of Nanjun and Wuling County.

Zhuge Liang's heart moved, and he felt that Liu Xiu's consideration was not unhandled, once Liu Bei lost him, it was equivalent to losing his eyes. If Liu Xiu does not play his cards according to common sense, the situation is indeed very dangerous.

However, Zhuge Liang said: "Since Gongzi Xiu has proposed it, there is naturally a more appropriate way to deal with it." ”

"Yes"

Liu Xiu smiled and said: "There is indeed room for reversal, but the premise is that Liu Qi revokes the two masters of Jingzhou, and Liu Qi can only be the Taishou of Nanyang County, and he must obey the arrangement of this official." ”

After Zhuge Liang heard this, he shook his head and said: "The bottom line of Xiu Gongzi is also the fundamental principle of Qi Gongzi. It is true that even if Gongzi Xiu kills me, the army of Wuling County and Nanjun, and even Xinye, is ready to go. Once I am killed, I will immediately kill Xiangyang and cause a great war. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "It's not cost-effective for Gongzi Xiu to kill me. And Xiu Gongzi should understand that the troops of Nanjun Wu County and Nanyang County are already quite strong. Under such power, it is feasible for Qi Gongzi to divide the land and rule. ”

Liu Xiu laughed and said, "It seems that Kong Ming didn't realize Liu Bei's situation. ”

"What situation," Zhuge Liang asked.

Liu Xiu said: "With my troops, I can easily pacify the war in Wuling County and Nanjun, so Liu Bei's so-called troops in this battle are not to be feared." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "What about the army of the lord in Xinye?"

Liu Xiu said: "Kong Ming, do you really think that the soldiers under Liu Bei can have combat effectiveness I gave Liu Bei 100,000 stone of food, is it really so generous Kong Ming, Kong Ming, when, when are you so naΓ―ve, you really think that pies will fall from the sky." ”

"Pedaling"

Zhuge Liang took two steps back, his eyes frightened.

Is there a problem with food?

Zhuge Liang didn't even dare to think about this problem, because the soldiers under Liu Bei's command all used the grain sent by the Huang family and the Pang family. If there is really a problem with food, the situation in Shinno will be very difficult at once.

However, Zhuge Liang quickly quieted down, and said in a deep voice: "Master Xiu, why do you want to deceive me like this?"

Liu Xiu said: "You think I will lie. ”

Zhuge Liang was silent, his eyes were extraordinarily solemn. If there is a problem with the 100,000 grains sent by the Huang family and the Pang family, then now the soldiers in the army have been recruited.

Suddenly, Zhuge Liang found that the situation had reversed.

Before Liu Bei had Wuling County and Nanjun as the backing, he was sure that Liu Xiu would not dare to go to war and took the lead.

Now Liu Xiu uses food as a coercion and has the upper hand.

The situation is not good

Zhuge Liang's swaying cheeks were also covered with a gloomy look.

What to do

Zhuge Liang's heart was thinking carefully.

Since Liu Xiu dared to say this, he must have a backhand, but in fact, before using the grain, Liu Bei had sent someone to inspect the grain, and there was no problem at that time.

Liu Xiu is so sure now, for a while, Zhuge Liang is difficult to weigh.

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said: "Master Xiu, I must clearly know what the problem is with the food, otherwise, I can't talk about it." ”

Liu Xiu avoided answering, and said with a smile: "In this way, Liu Bei or Liu Qi's bottom line can be changed."

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Everything, can be negotiated, isn't it?"

By now, Zhuge Liang has also had to change his strategy, after all, the situation is different. If there is really a problem with the 100,000 stone grain, once the news spreads, it will be tantamount to a catastrophe for Liu Bei.

Even if there is support from Nanjun and Wuling County, it is far away from the water and cannot solve the near fire, especially Liu Xiu will not condone the grain being sent to Xinye, so it is very difficult.

Liu Xiu smiled and said: "My bottom line and principles remain the same, there is only one Jingzhou pastor in Jingzhou, this is the bottom line, and it cannot be changed." Kong Ming doesn't need to give me an answer immediately, go back and think about it first, and then it's not too late to negotiate. ”

Zhuge Liang arched his hand and said: "Farewell"

Immediately, Zhuge Liang turned around and walked out of the hall. It's just that when they leave, they don't have the ease they had when they came, but they are worried, and their minds are full of food problems.

"Wait"

Suddenly, Liu Xiu stopped Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang said: "Is there anything else going on with Gongzi Xiu?"

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Zhao Yun is still in the house, Kong Ming can go and take a look at Zilong first." ”

Zhuge Liang's body was shocked, and he immediately remembered that Zhao Yun had been staying by Liu Xiu's side, and he arched his hand and said, "Please ask Master Xiu to let someone lead the way." ”

"Someone Coming"

Liu Xiu ordered, a soldier walked in, and Liu Xiu instructed: "Take Mr. Kong Ming to the backyard to see Zhao Yun." ”

The soldier bowed down and left with Zhuge Liang
