Liu Xianse said: "Xuande Gong, 100,000 stone grain, you should understand the value to you. Zhao Yun is alone, in exchange for 100,000 stone of grain. I don't think it's a hard thing to decide. ”

100,000 stone of grain, millions of catties of grain, for Liu Bei, the role is absolutely ineffable.

But let Liu Bei betray Zhao Yun, Liu Bei couldn't do it.

The most important thing is that if Liu Bei betrays Zhao Yun, what will the other generals under his command think of him Liu Bei thought about all this very clearly in his mind.

After getting 100,000 stone of grain, although it can achieve great benefits, what is lost is cohesion.

Lost food, cohesion is still there.

If people are still there, they will inevitably be able to fight again and fight unremittingly.

After Liu Bei thought it through, Zhengse said: "Master Xiu, although Zilong is my subordinate, I can't decide whether he will stay or not." Therefore, I cannot agree to the conditions you offered. ”

After Zhao Yun heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat down again.

As Liu Bei's subordinate, as Liu Bei said, Liu Bei could not decide whether he would stay or decide his fate. But if Liu Bei really agreed, Zhao Yun would inevitably be disappointed.

Liu Xiu nodded, and said in his heart, Liu Bei is really old and spicy, and he knows how to buy people's hearts.

In a word, Zhao Yun was heartbroken.

Liu Xiu's gaze fell on Zhao Yun, and he said slowly: "General Zilong, if you are willing to serve me." Then, I can give Xuande Gong 100,000 stone of grain for free, what do you think?"

Suddenly, Zhao Yun was dumbfounded.

Liu Xiu's request seemed simple, but it made Zhao Yun in a dilemma. If Zhao Yun is loyal to Liu Bei and thinks that he will share Liu Bei's worries, he should think about Liu Bei and agree to Liu Xiu's conditions. But Zhao Yun was unwilling, because the person he was loyal to was Liu Bei.

Glancing at Liu Xiu, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment.

In the courtyard, there was silence.

After a long while, Liu Bei said with a straight face: "Master Xiu, don't tempt Zilong." Even if Zilong agrees to your conditions, I will not accept your 100,000 stone grain. Although, I am in dire need of food, it is not so. ”

"Whew"

Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervous look on his face relaxed.

It's just that in Zhao Yun's heart, the moment of Liu Bei's hesitation just now flashed. When Liu Bei hesitated, it was Liu Bei who was choosing, or Liu Bei waiting for Zhao Yun to make a decision.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Xuande Gong waited for a while before he opened his mouth to deny it, obviously waiting for Zhao Yun to make a decision. However, Zhao Yun was in a dilemma for such a thing, and it was impossible to make a decision. Xuande Gong, 100,000 stone grain, you are moved. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, his face became serious.

A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Liu Xiu's words were clearly deliberately dividing the relationship between him and Zhao Yun, and his heart was reprehensible.

Zhao Yun glanced at Liu Xiu, and his eyes were even more jealous. Liu Xiu is young, but every step seems to have a purpose, and even makes Liu Bei embarrassed. Such a person is terrifying.

Liu Bei cheered up his spirit and said: "Xiu Gongzi, 100,000 stone grain, who is not tempted, but the man is a big man, he does something and does nothing." If my generals were to be exchanged for food, I would never agree. ”

After failing to make a plan, Liu Xiu said again: "Xuande Gong, I'm afraid I can't lend you 100,000 stone grain." And Xuan Degong, the so-called borrowing, you and I both understand, it's just an excuse. You borrowed 100,000 stone of grain, what will you pay back, so it is better to give you 100,000 stone of grain, although the conditions I offered, although harsh, are not too much. ”

Liu Bei said: "Master Xiu, I came to negotiate sincerely." Therefore, please give a more realistic condition. If these are all such vexatious conditions, we can only stop there. ”

Now, Liu Bei is still thinking about Liu Xiu's 100,000 stone grain.

Liu Xiu thought for a while and said, "Actually, there are other conditions, it depends on how Xuande Gong decides."

Liu Bei said: "What conditions?"

Liu Xiu's eyes were sharp, and he said slowly: "In another way, you lend Zhao Yun to me for three months." Three months later, Zhao Yun returned to Xinye. As long as Xuande Gong agrees, I will ask the Pang family to allocate grain from the shop and give you 100,000 stone of grain. ”

"Xuande Gong, the reason why I want Zhao Yun is because I fancy his ability to command cavalry, and during his three months in Youxian, he must train a cavalry for me. ”

"With such conditions, it shouldn't be too difficult. ”

Liu Xiu had a resolute look on his face, and said with a straight face: "If Xuande Gong doesn't agree to this condition, then Xuande Gong won't come to visit again, early tomorrow morning, I plan to leave south for Youxian." ”

This is Liu Xiu's real purpose, let Liu Bei hand over Zhao Yun, as long as Liu Bei is not a fool, he will not do it.

No matter what, Liu Bei couldn't agree.

However, Liu Xiu couldn't get straight to the point and put forward his purpose, so he went around in a circle and returned to the real purpose. Especially with the foreshadowing in front, the current conditions are much milder.

In Liu Xiu's view, if you can use food to separate Liu Bei and Zhao Yun, there is no doubt that it is worth it. Although 100,000 stone of grain is a lot, it is not a problem for Youxian or the Pang family.

Liu Bei and Zhao Yun looked at each other and fell silent.

This condition is not too harsh.

Liu Bei didn't speak, but Zhao Yun was a little embarrassed. If he didn't take the initiative, Liu Bei would be embarrassed. Zhao Yun also saw that Liu Bei was moved, but if Liu Bei took the initiative to propose, he would have the intention of betraying his subordinates, and the best result was that Zhao Yun took the initiative to propose.

Liu Xiu urged: "How is it, how did Xuande Gong think about it?"

Liu Bei took a deep breath, since Zhao Yun didn't speak, he couldn't take the initiative to sell Zhao Yun, so he could only refuse, he opened his mouth and said: "Master Xiu, I"

As soon as Liu Bei spoke, suddenly, Zhao Yun preemptively said, "Master Xiu, I agree." ”

"Zilong, you" Liu Bei frowned and said, "We need food, but there is no need to compromise." ”

Zhao Yun shook his head and said firmly: "Lord, it's only been three months. In three months, I will return to Shinno. Zhao Yun said this, and there was still a trace of loss in his heart. The relationship between monarchs and ministers was mixed with buying and selling, and the taste changed in an instant. However, Zhao Yun has always been loyal, and he didn't think much about it, and it was a good result to be able to help Liu Bei.

Liu Xiu looked at Liu Bei and said, "Xuande Gong, Zilong agreed." The final decision is still up to you. If you don't agree, just because I didn't mention it. You agreed, I'll discuss it with the Pang family. ”

"Yes"

Liu Bei glanced at Zhao Yun and nodded in agreement.

100,000 stone of grain, he needs it too much.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "In that case, Xuande Gong and Zilong will go back first." Tomorrow, Zilong will go south with me, and at the same time, early tomorrow morning, the businessmen of the Pang family will take the initiative to contact you. I'm going to Lumen Mountain now to discuss the matter of food. ”

"Farewell"

Liu Bei arched his hand and walked out without saying a word.

Zhao Yun arched his hand and left.

Out of the Prefecture Pastoral Mansion, Liu Bei clasped his hands together, bowed to Zhao Yun, and said, "Zilong, on behalf of the tens of thousands of soldiers in Xinye, I thank you." Three months later, I await your return. ”

Zhao Yunqiang smiled to himself: "Don't worry, my lord, it's only three months, it's not a big deal." ”

The two of them rode in a carriage and headed for the inn.

Liu Xiu left the state pastoral mansion, rode out of the city, and galloped all the way to the foot of Lumen Mountain. He didn't waste time and went straight up the mountain. After going up the mountain, I saw Pang Degong in Zi's study.

Liu Xianse said: "Teacher, this time, I came to ask the teacher for help. ”

Pound said: "What's the matter?"

Liu Xiu said: "I need 100,000 stone of grain. ”

Pang Degong didn't hesitate, and said directly: "No problem, the old man asked you to allocate 100,000 stone of grain, you can rest assured, it will definitely be transported to Youxian County in the shortest possible time." ”

100% support for Liu Xiu and Pang Degong. In Pang Degong's view, Liu Xiu was calm and calm, and the decisions he made were all well thought out.

Therefore, Pang Degong did not ask about the use at all.

Liu Xiu explained: "No, this 100,000 stone grain was given to Liu Bei. The specific condition is that he promised to lend me Zhao Yun, the fierce general under his command, for three months. ”

Pang Degong thought for a while and said, "You have a crush on Zhao Yun"

The so-called three months, in Pang Degong's view, is just a number.

Liu Xiu's real purpose is Zhao Yun.

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "Teacher's discernment, the disciple has indeed taken a fancy to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also a general in commanding the army, and his ability is no less than that of Wenpin. If successful, the benefits are self-evident. 100,000 stone of grain, in exchange for a peerless general, how cost-effective. Even if it is unsuccessful, it can divide Liu Bei and make Liu Bei unable to reuse Zhao Yun. ”

Pang Degong nodded and said, "You have decided, the old man fully supports it." Just do what you do, anyway, the Pang family has stored so much money and food, it's useless. ”

Liu Xiu laughed and arched his hand: "Thank you, teacher, early tomorrow morning, just send someone to contact Liu Bei." ”

Pang De said fairly: "Don't worry, the teacher will do it for you." ”

The two masters and apprentices looked at each other, and each had a knowing smile on their faces
