The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 194 Selling Cao Ren and Yu Jin

The battle in Huainan was over, and Zhang Wu in Xiangyang also put forward his own conditions with Cheng Yu.

If Cao Cao wanted to redeem Cao Ren and Yu Jin, he would need to exchange [-] war horses, a large amount of money and food as compensation, and pay for the accommodation and food expenses of Cao Ren and Yu Jin.

Of course, there is an additional condition, that is, a few things that Zhang Wu asked for, including Cao Cao's green sword, the seven-star sword used to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and the double iron halberd used by Dian Wei.

Zhang Wu also said to Cheng Yu: "Prime Minister Cao has been fighting in the South and North for so many years, and he is also a great soldier in this world. I heard that Prime Minister Cao wrote a military book called "Meng De's New Book". I want to read it and learn from it."

After Cheng Yu understood Zhang Wu's conditions, he expressed that he would ask Cao Cao for instructions.

Zhang Wu asked Cheng Yu to report quickly, and within a month's time limit, the goods will be released, and there will be no deception.If the ransom did not arrive within a month, Cao Ren and Yu Jin could only be executed.And for every day that passes, an extra day of accommodation and food expenses will be calculated.

Cheng Yu has never seen such a shameless person. How much can two people eat in a day?The accommodation and food expenses for that day were enough to feed a person for ten years!

But there is no way, Cao Ren and Yu Jin are very important generals, and they have to be rescued.

As soon as Cao Cao returned to Xudu, he received a letter sent by Cheng Yu, who knew what Zhang Wu asked for.Cao Cao didn't want to give it in his heart. After sending the thousand horses and money and food, it would definitely increase Zhang Wu's strength.

The south does not produce war horses, so neither Jingzhou nor Jiangdong has an established cavalry unit, and some generals do not have suitable mounts.Although a thousand cavalry is not many, if used properly, it can also play a big role.

Xia Houyuan used a thousand tiger and leopard cavalry to stir up chaos in Sun Quan's tens of thousands of troops.

There are also those weapons that Zhang Wu asked for, which are very precious to Cao Cao, and some of them are of great significance.

The seven-star sword originally belonged to Situ Wang Yun. When Cao Cao assassinated Dong Zhuo, he borrowed it from Wang Yun. Later, when the assassination failed, Cao Cao dedicated the sword to Dong Zhuo.After Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun's design, the sword returned to Wang Yun's hands. Soon after, Dong Zhuo's subordinate Li Jue returned to Chang'an, killed Wang Yun, and the sword fell into Li Jue's hands again.Later, Li Jue was killed by troops sent by Cao Cao, so the sword finally fell into Cao Cao's hands.

This knife is the testimony of Cao Cao's feat of assassinating Dong Zhuo. It is Cao Cao's passionate feelings back then, and he is not willing to give it to him!
Qingzhi Sword is one of the two swords in Cao Cao's hands, the other is named "Yitian".Cao Cao himself wore the Yitian Sword, while the Qingzhi Sword was worn by the clan general Xia Houen.This sword cut iron like clay and was so sharp that Cao Cao was reluctant to give it to him.

The double iron halberds are the relics of Cao Cao's beloved general Dian Wei, who died in battle to save Cao Cao.At that time, Cao Cao's sperm got into his head and forced Zhang Xiu back. Not only Dian Wei died in battle, but also his eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin died.

How could Cao Cao be willing to give away the relics of his confidant who died for him?
But Cao Ren and Yu Jin are also very important. One is the clan general, Cao Cao's cousin, and the other is the first to follow him.

On this kind of matter, Xun Yu, Xun You and others were not good at raising opinions. Only Cao Hong begged to see Cao Cao, saying that he was willing to spend his family wealth and redeem him.Cao Hong was a money addict and was very stingy, and he didn't even lend Cao Pi money from him.Later, Cao Pi held a grudge all the time, and after he became emperor, he found a trivial matter and sent Cao Hong to prison.

Although treasures are good, people are still important!Cao Cao finally agreed to Zhang Wu's conditions, and ordered him to prepare war horses, money and food, and three weapons. He also ordered him to copy a military book he wrote, "The New Book of Meng De".

Half a month later, Cheng Yu came to Xiangyang again with what Zhang Wu wanted.

After Zhang Wu made the inventory, he sent the horses to the Wuwei Camp barracks, handed over the money and food to the treasury, and sent the treasures back to his mansion.

Then, Zhang Wu ordered Cao Ren and Yu Jin to be brought over to Cheng Yu.In this regard, Zhang Wu is still very trustworthy, because there may be business dealings in the future.

Cao Ren and Yu Jin felt very ashamed when they saw that they were sold by Zhang Wu like prey, but they were defeated and captured, and they could only blame themselves for not being as good as others.Especially Cao Ren, this is the second time, how will he face relatives and friends after returning home!Cao Ren secretly swore in his heart that if he fought Zhang Wu in the future, he would hide behind the army and never show his head.
After the transaction was completed, Cheng Yu and others were about to leave when Zhang Wu said again: "Cheng Zhongde, go back and tell Cao Cao that if you invade Jingzhou next time, I will arrest him as well! Also, Cao Cao's generals were arrested After capture, everyone can be redeemed, but only you Cheng Zhongde can't. If you are captured by me on the battlefield, I will personally kill you and seek justice for the people you have eaten!"

Slaughtering people to make military rations was the cruelest thing Cheng Yu had ever done, but until now, he has never regretted it, because from the day he joined Cao Cao, he planned to dedicate everything to Cao Cao, even his life , not to mention fame!

Cheng Yu said: "Cheng has indeed done this, but in such a war-torn world, the people are either eaten or starved to death. Besides, what is the difference between a person who kills with a knife and a person who eats people? Doesn't General Zhang kill few people?"

Zhang Wuhan said with a straight face: "The two armies are facing each other. There is nothing wrong with fighting on the battlefield, but what is the difference between eating humans and animals? I am not a saint, but the people send their sons to me as soldiers and food for the army. You have an obligation to protect them, not to eat them! Cheng Yu, remember, if you do too much unrighteousness, you will kill yourself. Sooner or later, the people who have been killed by you will come to you for their lives, so get out now!"

Cao Ren and Yu Jin were furious after hearing this, but Zhang Wu said with a smile: "What? You are still not convinced? Why don't you come to the competition again? I will let the three of you go up together. If you are killed by me, don't say I am not trustworthy!"

After all, Cao Ren and Yu Jin didn't dare to fight Zhang Wu, and Cheng Yu certainly couldn't let so much money and food for the horses go to waste, so he dragged Cao Ren and Yu Jin away.

After hearing Zhang Wu's words, all the soldiers and common people in Jingzhou were grateful for Zhang Wu's benevolence, and supported Zhang Wu even more.Huang Zhong, Ding Feng, Wen Pin, Wei Yan and other generals from poor families or civilians were very grateful that they had taken refuge in a Ming lord, a lord who could take the lives of ordinary people seriously in this troubled world.

After selling Cao Ren and Yu Jin, Zhang Wu couldn't wait to return home. He wanted to exchange the treasures for rewards from the system. This time he got so many treasures at once, the rewards must be very generous.

When Han Dang from Jiangdong learned about this, he was quite happy to set up wine at home and have a good meal. He sighed in his heart, I am not the only one, and finally someone is with me, old iron, let's go!
