Chapter 253: A Shocking Deal

Nanyang Wancheng, after the general's mansion, Yuan Shu ushered in a special guest - Wei Xuan's number one strategist, military advisor sacrifice wine drama Zhong Xi Zhicai.

At first, Yuan Shu was reluctant to meet with Xi Zhicai, because Wei Xuan was not particular, not only did he support Yuan Shao in Sour Jujube, but later pried away his younger brother Sun Jian, and then the two attacked Dong Zhuo continuously, and the result was really victorious, isn't this a joke for the world to see him Yuan Shu?

Yuan Shu was still a little weak-hearted, and he had the same thoughts as Yuan Shao after Wei Xuan defeated Dong Zhuo, so he stood up with a roar and praised Wei Xuan as the captain of Si Li, and his cousin Sun Jian as the ruling Jinwu. Although this strategy of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle is very cool to use, Yuan Shu is not yet psychologically prepared to join forces with Wei Xuan and Sun Jian. So I thought about how long I could drag it out.

At this time, Wei Xuan sent a messenger to come, and Yuan Shu's first thought was that Wei Xuanxing's master was asking for guilt, and later after Yang Hong and others persuaded him not to see Wei Zhongdao no matter what, after all, he was the first person to defeat Dong Zhuo, and it was also a fact that he occupied the land of three counties and had forty or fifty thousand elites, Yuan Shu was competing with Liu Biao for Jingzhou, and he was not in harmony with Yuan Shao, so there was no need to set up another ??????????????? A powerful enemy, Yuan Shu reluctantly met with Xi Zhicai.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xi Zhicai met, he naturally scolded Yuan Shu angrily for ignoring the ease of the coalition army, and dragging his feet at a critical time, causing the general to be unable to do his best, so he gave up halfway, and I don't know how long he would have to wait in the future. Although Yuan Shu is shameless, it is not easy to argue with his subordinates, but fortunately, Xi Zhicai then put aside this matter, and this time he came to discuss with General Hou about confidential matters, so Yuan Shu had to take Xi Zhicai to his study again.

In private, Yuan Shu's cheekiness returned to his nature again: "Mr. is not a celebrity in Yingchuan, Wei Zhongdao can achieve such a great achievement at a young age with Mr. attached, which is really enviable." Whether Mr. intends to come to Nanyang, he wishes to obey Mr. in everything, and only hopes that Mr. will help him sweep away the eight wildernesses. ”

Xi Zhicai smiled bitterly when he heard this: "The general is wrong to love, and he is loyal and sparse, and he is shallow in learning, but he can only be appreciated by Wei Zhengxi in order to eat in the army." General Zhengxi sent Zhong to come this time, and there was a deal that was very beneficial to both sides, and he discussed with General Hou. ”

Yuan Shuo sighed, he said that it was just a temporary idea to test Xi Zhicai, and when he saw that Xi Zhicai was eager to enter the topic, he took his attention back and returned to his original arrogant demeanor, but he was very curious about what deal Wei Xuan had at this time that would benefit both parties. Now that Wei Xuan has led Henan Yin and scored Yuzhou with Sun Jian, then the rest of the big deal is the Xiliang war horse that captured Dong Zhuo, could it be that Wei Xuan wants to sell some war horses to himself, that is a great thing.

Xi Zhicai glanced at Yuan Shu, who was making up for his brain, and said in a lower voice: "General Ming should still remember that day when the Luoyang court was in trouble, Zhang Rang and others hijacked the Son of Heaven out of the palace in a hurry, and although he was welcomed back by Dong Zhuo, he did not know the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shu immediately put away his arrogant expression, his eyes widened, he looked at Xi Zhicai, and asked with a little trembling voice: "Zhongdao has been recovering Luoyang for a few days, didn't you find it?" ”

Xi Zhicai nodded: "After General Zhengxi entered Luoyang, he immediately asked people to protect the palace, and asked the soldiers to carefully count them, but all useful things are properly kept one by one, the sky has eyes, and the jade seal of the country was originally hidden by a woman, and then put into the well, it is also a strict order under Zhengxi, otherwise such treasures must be hidden." After the general got this substance, he tossed and turned day and night, and this important treasure of the country naturally could not be sent to Chang'an. My general felt that he did not dare to keep it privately, and after thinking about it, he thought of General Ming, who was the son of the Yuan family in Runan, and the general who was canonized by the imperial court, and it was most appropriate to keep this thing for the imperial court for the time being. ”

Yuan Shu was stunned when he heard this, the amount of information here is a bit large, it has been more than a year since the jade seal of the country was lost, Dong Zhuo has not found it for so long in controlling the imperial court, how did this Wei Xuan find it? However, Yuan Shu thought about it carefully, Dong Zhuo caused sabotage before Wei Xuan spent a lot of effort to recover, and now there are other idle people in Luoyang City except for Wei Xuan's army, so it makes sense that the treasure will be redisplayed.

But Wei Zheng said that his identity as Yuan Shu was the most suitable for keeping the jade seal of the country, Yuan Shu didn't believe it, and he was afraid that any other person in the Eighteenth Route Alliance Army would quietly hide. What's more, Wei Zhongdao didn't take him seriously from the first day he entered Luoyang, but he had a hot fight with that slave Yuan Shao.

This time, Wei Xuan actually announced that he had found the jade seal of the country, and instead of looking for Yuan Shao, he came to find himself, presumably to get ??????????????? Take enough benefits.

However, Yuan Shu felt that as long as Wei Xuan was really willing to exchange the jade seal of the country, it would be worth the price. However, he still couldn't help asking: "Wei Zhongdao has a deep friendship with my Yuan family in Hebei, and he is self-proclaimed as the leader of the alliance, Wei Zhongdao Weihe will not go to him?" ”

Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "My general actually thought about it, but now he has encountered some difficulties, when the non-general can't help solve it today, so I will send Zhong to ask the general what he means, if the general is willing to help, my general will definitely send someone to send a national treasure." If the general can't solve it, then he can only cross the river to the north to find a car and ride it for a try. ”

Yuan Shu heard that Wei Xuan had plans to go to Yuan Shao, so he didn't stand up and immediately said: "General Ben, who can solve it, will definitely solve it, and he will definitely be able to solve it, so don't run around, sir." ”

Xi Zhicai nodded: "My general said the same thing, it seems that General Ming will definitely be able to help my general solve the difficulties." This is the best, and it also saves loyalty to go back and forth. ”

Yuan Shu saw that Xi Zhicai was serious, and he always felt that something was wrong, so he said: "Sir, please tell me what difficulties Wei Zhongdao has encountered?" If you bring troops into Chang'an, the general really can't help. Because Jingzhou has been very unpeaceful recently. ”

Xi Zhicai sneered, such a person, the lord also said that this person was arrogant and had won the jade seal of the country and would be the emperor sooner or later, and now it seems that what Yuan Shu did was really selfish to the extreme and very ridiculous.

However, no matter what Yuan Shu's character and talent are, there are really not many people who can meet their own assist requirements at present, Yuan Shu is the closest, Xi Zhicai said: "General Ming laughed, that day, my general was adjacent to Henan in Yingchuan, with forty or fifty thousand elites, plus Sun Jian's elite twenty or thirty thousand shares and dared to attack the Xiliang soldiers who were like arrows, and now Dong Zhuo is far away from Chang'an, and my general will have to travel a long distance if he wants to crusade, and the outcome is unpredictable." You have to plan well for a while, and you will definitely not rush to send troops if you are blind. ”

When they met in private, Xi Zhicai didn't go through old accounts anymore, which also made Yuan Shu breathe a sigh of relief.

Yuan Shu nodded: "Although Wei Zhongdao is good at fighting, he is not an impulsive person, so he should adapt to it." So what difficulties did he encounter, or what conditions did he propose? ”

Xi Zhi saw Yuan Shu so earnest, and knew that his lord wanted to make him perish and make him crazy first. The lord gave Yuan Shu the jade seal of the creation of the country really to make Yuan Shu crazy. Only Yuan Shu is crazy can he meet the requirements made by his father-in-law.

However, he still said with a look of embarrassment: "The general of my family hopes to form an alliance with General Ming, and in the future, we will recognize each other and the local governors that the other party has expressed. ”

Yuan Shu didn't even think about it: "This is easy, Sun Jian was Wucheng Hou and Changsha Taishou before, but now he has made great contributions, even if the Son of Heaven is here, he will be rewarded madly." Besides, it is better for him to occupy Yuzhou than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and the general will then spread the word to the world to recognize Sun Jian. Not only that, but in the future, General Ben, the local governor promoted by Wei Zhongdao and Sun Jian, will also admit it as soon as possible. If Wei Zhongdao can send the Jade Seal of the Creation of the Country, it shows his sincerity, and of course General Ben will not embarrass him again. ”

Archery, oh, the other party has already taken the bait, and Xi Zhicai did not have a smile on his face, but continued: "General Ming, you also know that after Dong Zhuo forcibly moved the capital, he ordered the soldiers under his command to plunder the place, and now Henan is plagued by him, and there are people everywhere,??????????????? Even the imperial tombs were dug up one by one and the treasures were stolen. My general wants to give relief to 400,000 disaster victims, and it costs a lot to ask someone to fill up the imperial tomb, so I want to ask General Ming to borrow some food. ”

Wei Xuan occupied Henan and naturally wanted to expand the army, and exchanged food with him with the jade seal of the founding country, which was also expected by Yuan Shu, there were only three people in the Eighteenth Route Coalition Army who could have grain and grass to borrow, Jizhou Han Fu, Yuzhou Kong Ling and Jingzhou him, Han Fu is now being targeted by Yuan Shao, and he is difficult to protect, and he does not dare to borrow it, Kong Ling has long been looted by Wei Xuan and Sun Jian, and now he is difficult to protect. Only he has not moved, and there is plenty of food and grass. As for Yuan Shao, let's wait for him to take Jizhou, Ya can't take his own soldiers and horses, and he will eat soil. Thinking of this, Yuan Shu finally felt a little more reasonable.

Yuan Shu then asked, "I don't know how much grain Wei Zhongdao plans to want?" ”

What Xi Zhicai said was borrowing, of course Yuan Shu didn't believe that Wei Xuan would pay it back, so he just went straight to it. Let's just say how much grain do you want to exchange for the heirloom jade seal?

Xi Zhicai pondered for a while and said: "400,000 disaster victims need at least 1.2 million stones to survive the winter, even if the gruel is every day, and the Tianping Emperor's Mausoleum and the restoration of Luoyang are also a big project, at least 300,000 stones are needed." If the Ming general has enough money, please borrow my general, and on the day the food is delivered, Zhong will personally carry the jade seal of the country and present it with both hands. ”

Yuan Shu suddenly stood up from his seat with an angry face: "Who is he Wei Zhongdao as a general?" It's just a piece of jade, and he dares to open his mouth to ask for 1.5 million stone grain. Impossible, absolutely impossible, Mo said that there would be none, even if the grain was piled up, it couldn't be so cheap for him. ”

Xi Zhicai saw him behaving like this, and he was not in a hurry and continued: "Before leaving, Zhong also persuaded my general, and my general said that if General Ming couldn't do this, he could only ask the latter for help. Although there are not so many chariots now, as long as Jizhou is taken, it is still possible to use his fame to call on other princes to get together. It's just that it may take a long time, but fortunately, my general had a good relationship with Che Qi before, and he can send the jade seal of the country to Che Cai first, and then Che Qi should be able to easily take Jizhou with the national treasure. I just don't know if the victims in Luoyang can afford to wait, hey......"
