Chapter 179: Seeing the Money
When Liu Qi said this, everyone was stunned, and Xu Shu and Gan Ning were also stunned.
Just now, he was discussing the strategy of the enemy, and in the blink of an eye, he became a shrewd businessman?
Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "General Liu said that he laughed, the alliance to resist Cao is a matter of two families, and the general will become the son-in-law of Dongwu again, this is inevitable, right?" ”
Liu Qi looked serious: "As the saying goes: Brothers settle accounts!" When we came, we had an agreement, and we were talking about business, otherwise even if I agreed, my father would not be able to explain it! Let the price of 10% already depend on the marriage of the two families. ”
Zhuge Jin laughed dryly, and Lu Su also pouted secretly on the side, who didn't know that Liu Biao had long since ignored Jingzhou's affairs? It's clearly an excuse.
Zhou Yu is also slightly glazed, Liu Qi is really as rumored, he sees money and does not recognize people.
After a little thought, he said: "There is still a shortage of 50,000 arrows in the army, I wonder when the general will be ready?" If it is more than half a month, I Jiangdong can also catch up with most of it, so why buy arrows? ”
Liu Qi slowly stretched out three fingers.
"Three days?" Zhou Yujian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly: "There is no joke in the army, what if there are no arrows for three days?" ”
Liu Qi said: "There are no arrows for three days, I and the generals will attack the beard first, and we will swear to break the enemy." ”
Zhou Yu was secretly happy in his heart, and hugged his fists and said: "Okay, then it is agreed like this: if you prepare 50,000 arrows in three days, my Jiangdong people and horses will definitely send out the whole army to destroy the Cao thief with the general." ”
Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "General, this matter is not trivial, if the fighter plane is delayed due to temporary anger, how to reply to Wu Hou?" ”
Liu Qi said with a smile: "The military order is like a mountain, I made a military order with the governor, wrote a good contract, and when the time comes, I will have my own written evidence to back up, and I will not embarrass you." ”
"Good!" Zhou Yu was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to prepare pen and ink, write down the military order and buy arrows.
Liu Qi said again: "Fifty thousand arrows, although it is not worth much, but it is about one million, I don't believe the governor." After all, this matter is not military, and someone needs to guarantee it! ”
Zhou Yu snorted slightly and looked at Lu Su: "Just bother Zijing to be a guarantor!" ”
Liu Qi said with a smile: "Mr. Lu as a guarantor, it is very suitable, I heard that the Ming Duke instructed him to give food to help the governor, how generous was it?" A little money, naturally, is not a problem. ”
Lu Su had no choice but to sign the note, and the two sides discussed that the arrows were ready, and they would attack the wet beard ten days later, and each went to prepare.
After Liu Qi left, Lu Su paused and said: "The governor made a bet with Liu Qi, why did he pull Lu Su up?" If Wu Hou really doesn't want to pay at that time, and asks me to pay out of my own pocket? ”
Zhou Yu sneered: "It will take at least half a month to build 50,000 arrows, presumably Liu Qi ignores military affairs on weekdays and talks about it." When a certain party saw Xu Shu and Liu Pan with a look of surprise on their faces, they knew that there were not many arrows in their army, so they should accept it first. Even if it is transported from Jiangxia nearby, it will take at least ten days, and I am asking Liu Qi to attack the beard first, and then march into the army, so as to alleviate the damage of the Wu army. ”
Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his beard and said, "It turns out that the law has been completed!" ”
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "After all, Liu Qi is young and vigorous, and he likes to protect his shortcomings, and he will come out for Gan Xingba, so he will be asked to reap the consequences." ”
Lu Xun fought beside him for a long time, and suddenly said: "I think Liu Qi is not a person who believes in his words. ”
"Huh?" Zhou Yu's eyes were slightly cold, and he smiled again: "Even if Liu Qi really has 50,000 arrows, it will just help me break Cao, and the money will be allocated from the military rations." ”
Lu Su nodded and said: "The governor is reasonable, no matter whether Liu Qi has arrows or not, it is beneficial and harmless to my Jiangdong." ”
Zhou Yu laughed proudly, this is a sure deal, ordered the three armies to prepare for battle, and asked Zhuge Jin to find out the news.
Liu Qi and the others returned to the tent, and Gan Ning hurriedly said: "The general doesn't know, I only brought 10,000 arrows here, just in case, it is far from enough." ”
Xu Shu said worriedly: "Even if there is a workshop, it will take ten days to rush to work day and night, and I am far away in the guest country?" The general was sloppy this time! ”
Liu Qi said with a smile: "Everyone, don't panic, since I dare to bet with Zhou Yu, I am naturally confident, and I have someone to send arrows to the door, this is a sure deal." ”
Gan Ning was puzzled: "This place is far away from Jiangxia, who else will send arrows?" ”
"Far away, close at hand!" Liu Qi smiled mysteriously and told everyone to prepare for the war, leaving Liu Pan alone to discuss.
Liu Pan was also very worried, and said: "Dalang, there are no arrows in the army, if you can't transport them, won't you harm the lives of all the soldiers?" ”
Liu Qi said: "Since I dare to promise Zhou Yu, I naturally have a way to deal with it, and you will personally prepare for this matter, openly send people to cut down trees and make arrows, and secretly act according to my orders." ”
Liu Pan nodded and said, "Da Lang even orders." ”
Liu Qi said: "You have to prepare wooden stakes, bundle grass, and make them into the shape of straw figures, at least two thousand, of course, the more the better, and prepare another five hundred straw mats, two days is enough?" ”
Liu Pan thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Rushing overnight, two days is enough, but what do these have to do with taking arrows?" ”
"It's not taking, it's borrowing!" Liu Qi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You just go and prepare, I have my own tricks." ”
Although Liu Pan was puzzled, since he got rid of Cai Mao, he trusted Liu Qi very much, and he obeyed his words and went to prepare.
In fact, Liu Qi is going to borrow arrows from a grass boat, and observe the terrain during this time, which is the alternation of spring and summer, and the valley is filled with dense fog in the morning and evening.
Zhou Yu had also tried to take advantage of the fog to sneak attack on the beard, but Cao Jun had already taken precautions, and laid fishing nets and hung bells within three miles of the water village, which would be noticed immediately as long as the boat approached.
Although this trick is very effective in preventing sneak attacks, it is also a good use for Liu Qi, Zhou Yu uses the lack of arrows as an excuse, this is not a door-to-door sale?
When he was thinking about it, Zhuge Jin also came to inquire, expressing his worry, Liu Qi just made a haha, and just asked him to send the grain and grass for half a month as soon as possible.
Zhuge Jin didn't ask why, and was about to leave, but Liu Qi asked: "Fang Cai will compete for merit, but Lu Xun didn't say a word, I don't know what he thinks?" ”
Zhuge Jin said with a smile: "Lu Boyan is a scribe, he only does the work of governing documents, how can he fight for merit?" However, he just said that since the general dared to make a written evidence, he must be sure, which is really curious, so he came to ask. ”
Liu Qi waved his hand and smiled: "Where am I sure?" It's just that there is a chance to make money, so I want to give it a go, anyway, it's the same thing, so what's the difference between winning or losing? ”
"What the general said is very true!" Zhuge Jin nodded yes and left.
Tell Zhou Yu and Lu Su the words, both of them laughed at Liu Qi's words and business in the army, there is really no distinction between priority and priority, this person can win Cao Cao in Nanyang, I am afraid it is all the work of Wolong and Fengxiao.
Liu Qi sat alone in the tent, looking at the tent door with a melancholy expression, just now all the generals of Eastern Wu were all angered by Gan Ning, including Zhou Yu, only Lu Xun looked calm, standing there without moving, worthy of being a seedling of the commander.
Although this guy has not attracted Sun Quan's attention, he was only temporarily promoted to join the army by Zhou Yu, but he is the head of the Lu family and Sun Ce's son-in-law, no matter how big the hoe is, he can't dig it!
It's like a person who knows the goods sees a rare treasure, but it is only an ornament in someone else's house, and he can't hold it himself, which is even more uncomfortable than scratching his heart with a hundred claws.
