Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 591 Please help the general

"Don't drive Mi Zhu under Liu Bei's tent in Yuzhou. I have met Zhennan General and Jingyang Commander!"

Mi Zhu also bowed to Zhu Wei, and revealed his identity. At least officially, he was regarded as the leader of a state, although Liu Bei, the shepherd of Yuzhou, was actually only a nominal name.

Today's Yuzhou is really under the control of Liu Bei, which is just a small county town of Xiaopei.

"Well, I have heard for a long time that Mr. Mi Zhu is a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou. Earlier, he gave Liu Yuzhou tens of millions of money and [-] vassals to help Liu Yuzhou regain power in Xiaopei. It can be said that he is a rich man in the world! I can see you today, no It's an honor! Mr. Mi Zhu, please take your seat too! The army is simple and simple, so there is no need to be bound by ordinary etiquette!"

Zhu Wei returned a polite salute to Mi Zhu, and asked him to sit down in the tent. Anyway, although he planned not to respond, he still had to do a good job of etiquette on the surface.

"I don't know if the two envoys have come to the guard camp this time, but what advice do you have?"

After Chen Deng and Mi Zhu sat down, Zhu Wei pretended to be ignorant and asked. In fact, the purpose of the visit was already introduced in the greeting cards they handed in before their visit.

But now that Zhu Wei asked like this, it could be regarded as a kind of etiquette to open up the topic. Otherwise, the host could not ask, and the guest could directly ask for it.

Here, Chen Deng and Mi Zhu looked at each other again, and then Chen Deng said first, "I am here under the order of Marquis Wen, and I ask the general to lend some siege equipment to help our army." Siege!"

Of course, Chen Deng also knew that Lu Bu's intention was to borrow money without repaying it, but now he was passing on the message on behalf of Lu Bu, so he simply conveyed Lu Bu's request.

As for if he was on Zhu Wei's side in his heart, he would naturally feel that Lu Bu's request was too much.

In fact, when he came, Lu Bu was a lion and asked him to ask Zhu Wei for dozens of vehicles to fill up the moat, arrow tower vehicles that could attack the city wall, and the kind of equipment that could throw stones. At least a dozen or something.

Lu Buman acted as if it should be taken for granted, as if Zhu Wei owed it to him.

But Chen Deng knew Lu Bu's temper, so he didn't say anything at the time. Anyway, what he said would only make Lu Bu angry, but it wouldn't change anything. As a smart person, he didn't bother to remind Lu Bu to do this , how unreasonable it is.

However, when facing Zhu Wei now, Chen Deng only briefly said that he wouldn't really say Lu Bu's request foolishly, why bother to say this obviously impossible thing in public Well, this kind of matter can be communicated with Zhu Wei in private.

Mi Zhu over there also immediately said, "Your Majesty also came here under the order of Liu Yuzhou. I have long heard that the general has a lot of siege weapons, but our army is really unprepared. However, the city of Shouchun is so high that if there is no means It is really difficult to conquer, so Liu Yuzhou wants to ask the general to borrow some equipment used in the siege, and use the whole coalition army to fight against rebellion! Liu Yuzhou heard that the general has good horses, so he asked Zhu to prepare ten good horses as a gift, and asked the general to help! "

This Mi Zhu was born as a businessman, so he naturally spoke the same way. He directly said the thank you gift he had prepared, which was ten so-called good horses. At least he didn't come here with empty words.

Zhu Wei listened to the words of the two of them, but deliberately showed a look of embarrassment on his face, and then looked at Jia Xu who was also in the tent. Jia Xu said knowingly, "You two gentlemen are polite. Jia Xu, add to the army the responsibility of managing the siege equipment. What the two of you said just now is for the purpose of borrowing siege equipment. However, although our army also has some siege equipment, they are only comparable to our army. I’m afraid it’s very difficult to borrow from others! My lord, let’s let the craftsmen in the army build it overnight, or make some siege ladders, and lend them to the armies of Marquis Wen and Liu Yuzhou. That’s all. The army can only save money!"

Zhu Wei has had internal discussions for a long time, so now Jia Xu is out to make a bad face. Anyway, he insisted that the siege equipment he needs on Zhu Wei's side is not enough, so how can he borrow anything from others? Like sending off a beggar, it was like helping Zhu Wei agree to some ladders to attack the city.

In fact, siege ladders are the easiest thing to build. Even Lu Bu and Liu Bei's army can naturally find logistics workers to harvest trees to construct them, so why should Zhu Wei lend them for use?

"Oh, that's it, Mr. Jia, this is great. How many cave chariots are there in our army for attacking the city? Maybe three or four can be squeezed out, and it can also help Marquis Wen and Liu Yuzhou to fill the moat. If it is used, the soldiers of their two armies will be injured before they attack the city!"

After hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhu Wei deliberately came out to make a bad face, as if he could squeeze out some bridal carts for his face, which is actually the bottom line of Zhu Wei.

Hearing the words in the military tent, Chen Deng glanced at Jia Xu and Zhu Wei, but he knew in his heart that Zhu Wei didn't seem to be very willing to lend something. Of course, if he was a counselor on Zhu Wei's side, he would naturally He also refused to let Zhu Wei borrow things easily.

Why would you do such a useless thing?

Suo Chen Deng already had some arguments in mind when he came here, and he could help Zhu Wei explain a few words when he returned to Lu Bu's side. Of course, he also understood that with Lu Bu's temperament, no matter how this matter was, it would definitely be serious. Make trouble.

But there is no way to avoid this, even if this matter is unreasonable on Lu Bu's side, how could Lu Bu care about this.

So Chen Deng just hoped that he could communicate with Zhu Wei's people in private to explain the possible changes in Lu Bu, and at the same time, the two sides could talk to each other so that he could explain it when he returned to Lu Bu's side.

So of course Chen Deng wouldn't come out to speak at this moment, and he seemed to be watching his nose and nose, waiting for Zhu Wei's official reply, so he could go back and give a corresponding reply.

On the other hand, Mi Zhu obviously came here with some purpose, and naturally he couldn't be dismissed by such a little thing, so he couldn't help but said, "General Zhennan, Mr. Jia Xu, I still have a merciless request. There are craftsmen in China who can make equipment. I wonder if it is possible to send one or two craftsmen to our army to teach the craftsmen in our army how to make equipment. This will also save a little trouble for your army! Well, if so, I will return to Liu From Yuzhou, Liu Yuzhou can ask Liu Yuzhou to send another ten good horses to the general as a thank you! And I can also personally offer twenty horseshoe gold as a reward for borrowing craftsmen!"

This Mi Zhu really had a good idea. Even if he couldn't borrow the real thing, he still wanted to borrow craftsmen who knew the technology. In this way, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. As long as they learn the technology, they can of course make as many as they want.

At the same time, this Mi Zhu is indeed rich, a piece of horseshoe gold can be used as 20 copper coins, so now it means that Mi Zhu is willing to give [-] copper coins in private to reward this matter...
