Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 296 The clown is actually me!
Under such a background, it is naturally impossible for Yuan Tan to sell the armor to Liu Biao, at least not now.

But when Sun Ce bought the armor and went north to hurt Liu Biao, it would be another matter.

Hearing Yuan Tan said that the envoy from Jingzhou would come, Xu Shu immediately relaxed and showed a knowing smile:
"Your Majesty's words, this subordinate understands, and this subordinate will go and make preparations."

After finishing speaking, Xu Shu turned around and walked out of Qihou Mansion briskly, as if he had taken a reassurance, making Yuan Tan smile slightly after seeing it.

It was the morning of the third day after Xu Shu talked with Yuan Tan.

When Zhang Hong finally received the bodyguard sent by Xu Shu, he said that he could take him to check the armor.

Zhang Hong walked out of the mansion impatiently, but bumped into a team of envoys who were also in full swing.

The eye-catching banners of "Jingzhou Inspector Liu" and "Fan Ting Hou Kuai" made Zhang Hong put his heart in his throat in an instant.

Fan Tinghou, the title Zhang Hong is no stranger to him, the most trusted counselor of Jingzhou Governor Liu Biao, Kuai Yue who once offered advice to Liu Biao and wiped out all the thieves who troubled Jingzhou!

Kuai Yue suggested that after getting rid of the scourge of the Jingzhou clan thieves, Liu Biao named him the prefect of Zhangling and Biao Fan Tinghou in order to reward him for his contributions.

For Jiang Dong, this Fan Tinghou can be said to be a great enemy.

Jiangdong's previous small-scale attacks were all repelled under Kuai Yue's design.

And earlier, Sun Jian attacked Jingzhou to avenge Liu Biao when he returned to Changsha in the past.

The continuous victories in the battle even forced Liu Biao to abandon Xiangyang and move to another place.

At that time, it was the brothers Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang who stood up and persuaded Liu Biao, which was the reason why Lu Gong and Huang Zu later killed Sun Jian with random arrows!

Although there is hatred between each other, Zhang Hong, as a minister of Jiangdong, is still afraid of the Kuai brothers' strategy even though the two sides are in enemy countries.

But at this moment, the presence of the Kuai brothers here means that Xuzhou has not only made contact with Jiangdong.

Even the other side is still negotiating with Jingzhou?
Zhang Hong was not a roundworm in Yuan Tan's stomach, so how could he guess what Yuan Tan was thinking.

Yuan Tan sent people to contact Jingzhou just to find new buyers for the next sale of the armor.

After all, Jiangdong alone is not enough for him to sell.

Although Yuan Tan has better things like armor, it doesn't make sense to make Jiangdong cheaper for no reason.

Set up a stronger opponent for yourself to pacify the world in the future, and increase the difficulty of the game for no reason.

This was not the result Yuan Tan wanted to see.

Looking around, Jingzhou is the only one besides Jiangdong that can transport grain and grass to Xuzhou in a short time like Jiangdong.

Although the risk will be greater, it is still much better than Liu Zhang in Bashu and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.

Moreover, in Jingzhou, which is also affluent, as long as the market is opened, Yuan Tan still has some ideas for small commodities and wants to dump them.

After all, although armor is also a consumable, it is different from arrows and arrows. You have to buy new ones after a battle.

Even if the princes from all walks of life in the whole world add up, the amount of armor that can be sold is quite limited, unless Yuan Tan is willing to let go of the export of Xuzhou armor.

But before Su Tiejia fully armed his soldiers, Yuan Tan would definitely not do it.

The contact with Jingzhou this time caused Jingzhou to send an envoy. After all, it was for future preparations.

After all, unlike Jiangdong, where the rate of wearing armor is only [-]%, Jingzhou is rich and prosperous, and Liu Biao, who sits in the land of Jingxiang, also has good mineral resources.

In addition, Liu Biao is different from Sun Ce, and has a very good relationship with the family under his rule.

First, he married a Mrs. Cai and hooked up with the Cai family. Relying on the relationship of the Cai family, he accepted the Kuai brothers as his staff.

The four big families in Jingzhou, Huang, Cai, Kuai, Pang, and Liu Biao have already won over half of them by virtue of their in-laws.

The remaining two, Huang Shigong's Huang family and Pang Shiyuan's Pang family, are more of prestige among scholars.

The actual wealth is not much, just a figure similar to the university professors of later generations.

Therefore, even if the relationship with Liu Biao is not as close as that of Cai and Kuai, they will not be able to add obstacles to Liu Biao like the Jiangdong family.

In other words, under Liu Biao's rule, not only was there sufficient food, but also the supply of minerals and other production was not bad.

In addition, the sect thieves were pacified.

It doesn't need to be as miserable as Sun Ce, even the work of mining can only be carried out in small ways.

The armor wearing rate of the entire Jingzhou army is as high as [-]%. Even if there are many leather armors among them, they are not in a hurry to buy these [-] sets of armor like Sun Ce.

Sending Kuai Yue over was just curious where Yuan Tan got his confidence.

Are you not afraid of being an enemy for such a generous sale of armor?

For Kuai Yue and even Liu Biao's thoughts, Chen Deng reported to Yuan Tan as soon as he came back.

For this view of the monarch and his ministers, whether it is Yuan Tan or Chen Deng, they all just find it funny, and they are even quite happy besides being funny.

If Liu Biao really paid attention to the [-] sets of armor, they would have a headache instead.

What they wanted was that Liu Biao and the others underestimated the news.

Not only can it put pressure on Zhang Hong, but also increase Jiangdong's purchase price.

At the same time, wait until the armed Jiangdong army beats Liu Biao in pain.

Liu Biao, who was on an envoy to Xuzhou again, could only grit his teeth and endure it even if he knew that his flesh would be cut.

After all, compared with the pain of cutting flesh, the threat of being directly deprived of the land of Jingxiang is greater than the latter.

On Yuan Tan and Chen Deng's side, apart from getting along with their rulers and ministers, they even held a small celebration banquet.

It can be regarded as a reward for Chen Deng's hard work on this mission.

On Zhang Hong's side, however, his head ached.

The interview with Xu Shu in the morning was not very pleasant, compared to the urgency that Xu Shu inadvertently showed when he first arrived in Xuzhou.

After Kuai Yue arrived in Xuzhou as Liu Biao's envoy, Xu Shu's urgency suddenly turned into calmness.

In terms of price, the price of [-] shi for one stone of rice is not loose.

It was clear that Zhang Hong and Jiang Dong were right.

After returning to the mansion, Zhang Hong also wanted to understand what was the accidental encounter in the morning.

It was made clear that it was designed by Xu Shu to let him see it.

But this was an aboveboard conspiracy. Even if he saw Xu Shu's plan, Zhang Hong was helpless now.

He has not been idle in the mansion these days, although he can't go to places like the composting place and the general yard.

But there are no restrictions elsewhere.

These days, he wandered around Xuzhou to check, and even got in touch with the military camp.

From the analysis of the collected information, Zhang Hong came up with a piece of news that was definitely not good for Jiang Dong.

That is, Xuzhou is not short of food, at least, not as short of food as they had guessed before.

Originally, Jiangdong thought that the reason why Yuan Tan sold such a large amount of military rations was because the food crisis in Xuzhou had forced them to sell military equipment that was extremely important to the princes from all walks of life.

That's why Jiang Dong was so calm about the envoys composed of Zhuge Jin and Xun Yu, and even let them hang out in the mansion for several days.

But now it seems that this is a big show selling food.

The clown turned out to be the Jiangdong people themselves!
