The Supreme Call of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 291 Take what you need
Chen Qunfei not only pulled out Han Xiandi, but also pulled out Liu Bei as a substitute for the dead ghost. Anyway, dead friends never die. As for Liu Bei, love never dies.

"The long text is quite clean. General Xuangan and I have read Cao Gong's letter. If you want to negotiate a peace, there is nothing wrong with giving up Yuzhou as an apology. Let's stop our troops and let everyone live in peace. How about it? "

Zhou Yu chuckled.

Chen Qun's face froze, and he wiped it off. This young man really dared to open his mouth. With just one mouth, we would have to take the whole of Yuzhou as an apology. Yuzhou, even now, has a population of no less than 300 million, second only to Yuzhou. Jizhou and Jingzhou are densely populated and most affluent, but if they are all given to you, wouldn't our two or three months of hard work be in vain?

Chen Qun said in embarrassment: "General Gongjin was joking, the world belongs to the Han family and the emperor Liu's family. As ministers, how can we give and receive in private? Do, unless it is the emperor's decree, who would dare to give up half an inch of land?"

Although Chen Qun was a little heroic, but after all, he took advantage of the court, and he could prevaricate it with a single sentence. This is why Cao Cao wanted to hold the emperor hostage. With the emperor's endorsement, everything was much easier. No, in a word, Zhou Yu was blocked back on the grounds that all the counties and counties in the world belonged to the imperial court.

After all, Zhou Yu is too young, but in his early twenties, he has not yet reached the level of sophistication in the future, and his skin is tender, so he is naturally choked. Why, isn't Liu Xiao a Hanchen?Which of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty is not the territory of the imperial court, how can the courtiers grant it to each other in private?

"It's also simple. It only needs Meng De to give a memorial to the imperial court and merge Yuzhou into Qingzhou. All problems will be solved, isn't it? Meng Degui is the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. He is under one person and above ten thousand. There's no reason not to..."

Liu Xiao smiled lightly, and kicked the ball to Chen Qun again.

"This one……"

Chen Qun was full of helplessness, and wanted to make Liu Xiao stop fighting, but it was not so easy. This kid just didn't see the rabbit and didn't stalk the eagle. It was obvious that he wanted to use peace to kill the lord. The lord only brought more than 2 elites, and Xiahou Dun's remnant army was only 3. Facing Liu Xiao's tens of thousands of troops, it is hard to say whether Liu Xiao can be defeated. Once defeated, the entire Yuzhou will fall , the most important thing is that Qiaojun and Xudu are both in Yuzhou, one is the prefect of the lord, and the other is the capital of the current emperor, there is no room for loss!

"General Xuangan, the Chen Qun Committee has no control over this matter, and I still need to invite my prime minister to report to the emperor..."

Liu Xiao smiled and said: "Well, Changwen, I have plenty of time, you can go back and discuss with Mengde, but in Bingzhou, if you want to block Yue Fei and Gao Chong's attack with only Cao Ren, I'm afraid it's hard to hate, it's not me Conceited, with the soldiers who have just surrendered in Bingzhou, the morale of the army is still uncertain, Meng De is very relieved to deal with Yue Fei's army, if you lose Bingzhou, don't blame me for not reminding you..."

Shocked, Chen Qun bowed to Liu Xiao and returned to Jiyin County.

County Sheriff's Office.

Cao Cao was a little silent when he heard Chen Qun's words. Chen Qun's response was clever enough, but he met Liu Xiao. This guy was very difficult. To put it bluntly, he was a naked threat of force. In the end, if you want to negotiate a peace, you can, but you have to take advantage of it, and you can't just put it together for nothing!
"Prime Minister, this Liu Xiao is too arrogant. He wants the whole of Yuzhou. It's really unreasonable!"

Chen Qun said angrily.

Cao Cao sneered and said, "Changwen, the so-called exorbitant asking price, sitting on the ground to pay back the money, naturally Liu Xiao can't just ask for a county, in that case, he won't even be able to get a hair, so he can only get food by opening his mouth wide... "

Chen Qun's heart trembled slightly, and he said in astonishment: "The prime minister means that Liu Xiao doesn't really want the whole of Yuzhou?"

Jia Xu smiled and said: "That's natural, Changwen, you are still too honest, not to mention the whole Yuzhou, even half of Yuzhou, we will not give it up. Yuzhou has a large population, even if it suffers from repeated wars, the population If you still don’t order two or three million yuan, how can you just let it go, he has a good idea!”

"Wenhe, what do you mean?"

Seeing Jia Xu talking, Cao Cao asked with a smile.

Jia Xu's smile faded, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, now that Liu Xiao has occupied Lu County, Shanyang and Pei County, why don't we give these three counties to Liu Xiao, but Liu Xiao must also give up Wuyuan and Shuofang, in this way, when we are in Bingzhou, we only lost Yanmen Dingxiang and the three counties of Yunzhong, and the rest of the counties and counties are all under our control, especially Shuofang. With Shuofang, we don’t have to worry about it. In the future, Yue Fei will suddenly send troops from Shuofang to attack our rear. After all, if we use troops in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, Yue Fei and his cavalry will suddenly attack our back from Shuofang and attack the hinterland of Sili, and we will be in big trouble..."

Cao Cao suddenly understood Jia Xu's intention. Although the population of these two counties was too small, not even half of the population of one county in Yuzhou, their status was too important. They were connected to the hinterland of Sili. Once they broke through Hedong County, they would directly kill them. Entering the hinterland of Sili and Yuzhou, if Yue Fei and Liu Xiao occupy Shuofang, then they will really have their backs...

"Wenhe, I'm afraid Liu Xiao won't easily cede Shuofang's. How could he give us such a great deal..."

Cao Cao said slowly.

Jia Xu smiled and said: "My lord, although the entire Yuzhou has been severely damaged by the war, it still has a large population, but more than half of the population is concentrated in the three counties of Yingchuan, Runan and Chenjun. Lujun and Shanyang , Pei County, the combined population of the three counties is not comparable to the population of Runan County, or even the population of Chen County. As long as the western and central parts of Yuzhou are in our hands, what's the harm in giving them to Liu Xiao's three counties? Moreover, the three counties It is nothing to us, but it is extremely important to Liu Xiao. Langya County cannot be exposed to our military for a long time. This is something Liu Xiao will never allow. He is bound to win the three counties, and we will win against Wuyuan. , Shuofang is bound to win, everyone just gets what they need. If the two families really fight, the ones who get the advantage in the end are Liu Bei and Liu Cousin. Liu Xiao will not understand this truth..."

Cao Cao nodded slightly. What Jia Xu said was good. Both sides had their own needs and it was good to make concessions to each other. However, although the population of the three counties was not too large, it still had a population of nearly one million. It was really a bit reluctant to give up...

Jia Xu went on to say: "Master, stabilize Liu Xiao first, don't make him a frontal enemy, turn around to the west, take the land of Hanzhong, spy on Yizhou, take Nanyang County in the south, and threaten Jingzhou with soldiers. Our top priority, whether it is Nanyang or Hanzhong, is a land of wealth. If God does not take it away, it will be blamed on it..."
