Chapter 496: I Break Cao Cao, No Need to Use Soldiers

"Cao conceals the use of soldiers, and the Central Plains will be chaotic!"

Liu Mang's eight words made Chen Su and Tian Yu frown.

Cao Cao was not without defeat, but every time, he was able to stand up again, like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang.

Even if Hanzhong lost to Liu Bei and failed to encircle and suppress Jiangling, Cao Cao's strength could not be ignored.

"Changqing, what do you say?"

Tian Yu was curious, and asked directly, when it comes to the current allegiance object, he must be cautious.

"Big nephew! They are Cao Cao's people, don't talk nonsense with them! ”

Zhang Fei's loud voice came, and he must still have an opinion on Tian Yu.

"Third uncle, it's okay."

Liu Mang smiled warmly and signaled that Zhang Fei could rest assured that this did not include any secrets.

"Cao Cao's previous failures didn't actually lose land."

"Whether it's the Battle of Chibi or the Battle of Hanzhong, he just didn't expand his territory."

"But the battle of Liangzhou caused Cao Cao to lose an important horse-producing land."

As soon as Liu Mang's words came out, Tian Yu nodded, and now the pressure of the war horse is all on Youzhou.

But to deal with foreign cavalry, the war horses of Youzhou are also very important.

If there is Liangzhou to share the pressure, the pressure on Youzhou will not be so great.

"It's just a matter of losing the land, and Cao Cao has even lost his economic power."

"If what I expected, you two have come to ask us to reopen trade."

"Shu brocade and Shu salt, but you are a necessity from top to bottom."

Liu Mang casually took a drink, which made Chen Su and Tian Yu more stressed.

Zhang Fei didn't know how to feel it, so he hurriedly accompanied a cup, Guan Yu glared at him, and Zhang Sanye smiled.

"Xuzhou Zangba, Liaodong Gongsun Kang, these are all your henchmen."

"Cao Cao was defeated one after another, and the people of the Central Plains paid heavy taxes."

"That's why Cao Cao, who has always been good at attacking, chose to recuperate."

With the existence of flying feathers, Liu Mang was clear about the situation under Cao Cao's rule.

Even if Tian Yu and Chen Su wanted to lie, they had no way to do it.

"Facing the enemy head-on, our army is not afraid."

"What's more, if you defeat Cao Cao, why use troops?"

Liu Mang's words made Tian Yu even more frightened, as Liu Mang said, just a little trick made his side a little unbearable.

Who would have focused on inconspicuous salt in the early years?

What's more, in order to enrich military funds at that time, Shu Yan played a hand of good money to expel bad money.

The price is even cheaper than the salt produced by the Central Plains Imperial Court.

This move also made Shu salt completely occupy the Central Plains, and the salt and iron officials directly did not do it, and no one bought salt anyway.

Now when it was time for Liu Mang to cut leeks, he retreated with one move and played the people of the Central Plains in the palm of his hand.

Zang Ba of Xuzhou was the first to write to the imperial court, making Cao Cao aware of the terrible influence of Shu salt.

Only then did he have to come up with a countermeasure to save the country, but he was played by Sun Quan and was wronged for no reason.

Cao Cao definitely didn't want this, and instead of buying Sun Quan at a high price, it was better to reopen trade.

Originally, Cao Cao thought that Liu Bei would gladly agree, but who knew that Liu Bei would not serve at all, so he asked Tian Yu and Chen Su to send envoys.

"It's not a secret, even if Shu salt is not sold to the Central Plains, it can still make money."

"Jiangdong, Western Regions, Guishuang, and Daqin, but they are all waiting in line for salt."

"Who is in a hurry now? Since I have a request for someone, put away that arrogant look for me! ”

Liu Mang's words were loud, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were very relieved to hear it!

When they were young, when would they be able to raise their eyebrows so proudly in front of Cao Cao's messenger?

"The Prince...... I will wait for honest negotiations, I don't know what conditions you have to offer, before I am willing to trade with the Central Plains again! ”

Tian Yu bowed and saluted, once he talked about business, Liu Mang seemed to be a different person.

Although the person in front of him is as affectionate as his father, he is able to suppress his feelings well.

In particular, such skillful negotiation skills made it difficult for him to interject.

"Oh? Tell me about your sincerity, and this world will listen to you. ”

Liu Mang smiled playfully, waiting for Tian Yu and Chen Su's answers.

Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were silent, and they were not familiar with the negotiation at all.

This time, I just came to see Tian Yu, an old friend.

It's just that time has passed, and the fact that their friends are in the enemy camp makes them feel quite uncomfortable.

"King Wei is willing to increase the price by one percent......"

"Hahahaha!"

Liu Mang stroked his palms and laughed, directly interrupting Tian Yu.

"Uncle Guorang, are you telling a joke?"

"The Shu salt that our army sells to Eastern Wu now will increase in price by at least forty percent, and they will sell it to Cao Cao."

"There is no shortage of buyers for Shu salt, why should I only sell it to you at a price of one percent, and offend my allies?"

Liu Mang's words made it difficult for Tian Yu to answer for a while.

He can understand why Sun Quan has risen his price wildly, and the culprit is Liu Mang in front of him!

"This ......"

"I don't know what conditions I want from the world."

Tian Yu was patient, but who knew that he was countered by Liu Mang.

"Uncle is very calculating, as a junior, how can I embarrass you?"

"It's better to let that person prescribe conditions, I just say yes or no."

Liu Mang kicked the ball directly to Chen Su, he couldn't bear to embarrass Tian Yu, but he had no distractions for embarrassment of Chen Su.

"The price has increased by 30%!"

"No way!"

"Fifty percent!"

"No way!"

Chen Su proposed price increases one after another, but Liu Mang ruthlessly refused.

Tian Yu reminded softly: "What he wants is definitely not to increase the price, you can ask about other things." ”

Chen Su nodded blankly and tried to ask again.

"Reparations?"

"No way!"

"Tariffs?"

"Okay!"

Liu Mang's goal has always been only one goal, and that is the tariffs in the Central Plains.

These tariff barriers are the lifeblood of protecting the economy of the Central Plains.

If you can take this opportunity to break down the tariff barriers, then the Central Plains will become a dumping ground for Shu Han's goods!

"No!"

"If you don't agree, then there's no need to talk about it, the third uncle is ready to send off the guests!"

Zhang Fei got the order, got up and was about to walk towards Chen Su.

"Brother Yide, wait!"

"For the sake of our acquaintance, I'll let you say three words!"

Tian Yu took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said, "Shizi, how do you want us to deal with tariffs?" ”

Liu Mang chuckled, and Tian Yu finally asked the key.

"Tariffs are charged at one time for two-eleven of the value of the goods."

"Otherwise, if you pass the level once, you will collect it once, how can I make money?"

"Don't worry, the price will still be sold to you as it was."

"I'll only say it once, since I'm here to ask for peace, I'll have a correct attitude."

Liu Mang's attitude was tough, and Tian Yu knew that if they didn't agree, there would be no second chance to negotiate.

"I can only agree on my own behalf in advance, and this matter will be returned to the court before making a decision."

"Please take care of yourself."

Liu Mang is not dragging his feet, he has firmly occupied the initiative in negotiations, and he will use his power to overwhelm others.

Tian Yu only felt that there was a thousand pounds of weight on his shoulders, although he didn't know what Liu Mang was going to do, but he always felt that this matter was not simple.
