Tao Qian's words always floated around, pulling and talking.

Han Fu didn't know why Tao Qian did this, but he wasn't in a hurry and dealt with it slowly.

Take the initiative to ask a few words from time to time to understand the virtual and real situation in Xuzhou.

If these news were presented to the emperor, it might be his unexpected work.

The two of them are like doing tai chi, you come and go, asking all kinds of questions, and one of them is more sleek than the other.

In this case, the person listening is actually the most uncomfortable.

Bao Hong, who has a cold and stubborn personality and likes to do things simply and directly, listened to those words, just like holding a knife on him slowly, and he couldn't say how uncomfortable he was.

"I regret it now, I should have let Sun Ergou come in with Shi Chang." He muttered to Xu Fu.

Cheng Jian took Sun Ergou and others down to rest, while he and Xu Fu were brought to the table by Han Fu.

Xu Fu chuckled, "Let Sun Ergou come in, I'm afraid we won't be able to eat this meal." ”

"Hey, it's uncomfortable......" Bao Hongsheng muttered unlovingly, "Do you hear what they said?" ”

"Test each other." Xu Fu said, "Language is the first weapon of war!" ”

Bao Hong: ......

"I'll leave that question at that."

Xu Fu pushed his uneaten meat to Bao Hong, "It looks like you haven't eaten enough, just eat, whatever they do." ”

"You're a good guy." Bao Hong's spirit suddenly improved a lot.

Tao Qian and Han Fu's Tai Chi suddenly came to an abrupt end because of Guan Yu's words.

Tao Qian didn't ask, Liu Bei and Tian Kai didn't ask, but Guan Yu, like Bao Hong, couldn't bear it anymore.

asked directly: "I don't know why the angel came all the way to Xuzhou?" ”

This question made Tao Qian's heart, which had gone through years of ups and downs, tighten up instantly.

He was always worried that he heard that Han Fu was here to pursue Lu Bu, so he kept talking about his nonsense.

Han Fu got up, stood up, and arched his hand facing the north towards the sky, "Your Majesty wants to do business with Tao Yuanjun!" ”

Tao Qian: Hmm???

"You mean business?" He asked, incredulous.

Han Fu smiled and bowed, "Exactly." ”

"There are a lot of armor in the arsenal of the DPRK and China, Your Majesty wants to ask Tao Envoy Jun, do you want it?"

Tao Qian: !!

He pinched his chin a few times with some nervousness, and the court actually wanted to give him armor.

His Majesty is far away in Luoyang, and he is still thinking about him, an old minister.

"Your Majesty...... The minister is guilty! ”

Tao Qian's eyes were rolling with tears, and he suddenly got up and knelt down facing north.

"Ah...... This. Han Fu was stunned.

Did he understand something wrong?

It's not for nothing!

Liu Bei and Tian Kai looked at Tao Qian's appearance, and they were also in a somewhat complicated mood.

Liu Bei's heart suddenly moved, and he had a little idea.

When Tao Qian was on the emperor's expedition to the east, he neither sent troops to help, nor did he wave his flag and shout, and he was completely silent and watched.

At this point, he can already be regarded as a traitor.

But the emperor didn't care about his previous suspicions, but instead specially sent a messenger to give him armor.

There is absolutely no other reason for this, in Liu Bei's opinion, there is only one.

Tao Qian is a pastor in Xuzhou, sitting in Xuzhou!

If he can also support the land of a state, can he also use this to return to the court and pay homage to the generals?

In an instant, Liu Bei's heart was moved!

Tao Qianyao's confession ceremony to worship the emperor was finally over, he wiped the cloudy old tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and said to Han Fu: "The old man lost his temper, let the angel smile, I don't know how many armor Your Majesty can give?" ”

"How much do you want?" Han Fu thought about it and didn't directly say that he wanted to give money.

Tao Qian: !!

Tao Qian, whose mood had just calmed down, was not calm again.

A lot?!

Unlimited?!

Han Fu's understatement was like a heavy punch to the hearts of everyone present.

Liu Bei almost stood up directly in shock, his eyes were straight.

Don't say how much to give, just ask how much, this rich and generous appearance is simply fascinating.

"One...... Thousand? Tao Qian asked tentatively.

He was a little reserved, not daring to open his mouth too much.

Han Fu frowned slightly.

Tao Qian, who was almost staring at Han Fu, couldn't help but feel a little lost when he saw this expression.

Is a thousand too much?

However, I heard that the current weapons and armor of the imperial court are all brand new, and the armor is iron armor and lined with leather.

The weapon is rumored to be a sharp weapon that has been forged countless times, and this is the armor that should be armed with elite soldiers.

A thousand sets of such armor does seem to be a lot.

"Then ...... Five hundred, five hundred will do. Tao Qian said.

Han Fu shook his head, "Tao Envoy, there should be more than five hundred, one thousand soldiers in Xuzhou, right?" That's what you're going to do? ”

Tao Qian: Hmm???

It's been a long time, are you too little?!

Tao Qian, who couldn't cry or laugh, was a little suffocated by the emperor's magnanimity.

那样的甲胄，皇帝说给就给啊！

Such an emperor, so how did he scold it? A bunch of bastards!

"Five thousand, how? There are too many, and the old man is a little embarrassed. Tao Qian was really a little embarrassed.

After all, he knows what he did himself.

He didn't think anything wrong about the court, and he didn't mean to set himself up as a king.

But the neighbors around him have.

This makes it difficult for Tao Qian to do.

When the emperor personally led the army to the east, he wanted to shout loudly, and he also wanted to send troops to help.

But...... Didn't dare!

Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shao, any one of them can bully him.

He has always been worried that the voice shouted out, they can't help the court, but they can help him Tao Qian.

"Five thousand is fine." Han Fu bowed.

He sat down again, brewed his feelings for a while, and then said: "Don't hide it from the Tao envoy, the court is short of food now!" ”

Tao Qian: ???

Wait, what does that mean?

"What do you mean by the angel, exchanging armor for grain and grass?" Only then did Tao Qian understand what Han Fu meant.

White was happy.

Han Fu sighed lightly, "Your Majesty's original intention was to send it, but since last year, the imperial court has been going to the east and the west, and the grain and grass are extravagant. The grain harvested by Yanzhou this year is very limited, and it is really difficult to supply 200,000 troops with the land in Guanzhong alone. ”

"When there is nothing to be done, Your Majesty ordered me to go to Xuzhou, meet Tao Envoy in person, and send a person for food."

"The imperial court now has an army of 200,000?" Tao Qian asked in surprise.

Han Fu shook his head, "It's not enough now, the grain and grass can't be sustained, and it's only about 100,000 troops." ”

He is not a lie, when the emperor was in class, he ordered the soldiers to go home to rest.

Now counted, it is indeed only about 100,000 troops.

Tao Qian sighed lightly with a solemn face, "It is indeed a bit difficult to supply 200,000 troops with the land of Guanzhong alone. ”

"But Xuzhou has not had a good time in recent years, there are often criminals in the Yellow Turban Army outside, and there are thieves stealing mountains and cities inside, coupled with natural disasters for many years, I can only supply 200,000 Hu for the imperial court at most."

"I have also heard about the situation in Xuzhou." Han Fu bowed his head and said, "Add another 50,000 Hu." ”

"I can't add it, Xuzhou is really difficult."

"There are more than 5,000 armor in the court, if Tao can add some more food, how about I raise another batch of armor for the envoy?"

“…… It's still hard. ”

"Add another 1,000 bodies, so that you can gather 300,000 pieces of grain and grass."

“…… It's hard! ”

"I believe that the envoy will not die to the court at this juncture."

"Naturally, I can't die without help, but ...... Okay, then 300,000 Hu, this is the limit of Xuzhou. ”

Han Fu smiled knowingly.

Xuzhou is still wealthy.
