Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

As soon as the two sides met, Jian Yong straightforwardly explained the purpose of coming. It turned out that Liu Bei wanted to exchange two counties for three thousand stones of grain and grass.

For Tai Shici, he can still make the decision for the three thousand stones, but he is also aware of Liu Bei's current situation, so he naturally has to press on.

Tai Shici said with a smile: "The two counties are in chaos right now, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to take over, and I'm afraid it's not worth three thousand shi."

Up to now, it has become the fish on the chopping board. Jian Yong knows that he doesn't have many choices, but it is a little bit to fight for more.

Jian Yong cupped his hands and said: "General Tai Shici, if the two counties are to attack with great effort, the casualties will be no less than nearly ten thousand. Could it be that the lives of nearly ten thousand people are not worth three thousand shi of grain?"

Tai Shici waved his hands and said: "The soldiers in our headquarters are priceless, but given the current situation in the two counties, I'm afraid they can be easily captured without much effort."

What Tai Shici said was not unreasonable, head-to-head, with Liu Jun's current morale, I am afraid that the battle will not take long before it will be defeated.

But knowing this, Jian Yong couldn't easily compromise, otherwise Tai Shici would make progress, and it would be even more difficult and impossible to end.

Jian Yong said with a serious face: "Since this is the case, Yong will take a step back. Two thousand and five hundred stones cannot be missed. Otherwise, Yong will have to go back and report, and let my lord fight the battle."

Chapter 509 Achievement

Seeing Jian Yong's expression like this, Tai Shici knew that this might be Liu Bei's bottom line, even if it wasn't, it was pretty much the same.

Tai Shici thought about it for a while, and said in embarrassment, "Okay, when will your army withdraw, and how will the two sides hand over?"

Seeing Tai Shici's question, Jian Yong knew that the goal had been achieved, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Seven days, after seven days the general will lead the army to bring food, and the two sides will hand over at that time."

Liu Bei took the initiative to send someone to visit. Tai Shici was not afraid of his conspiracy because he had certain strength, but out of curiosity, he still couldn't help asking.

"Uncle Liu gave up the two counties, and I don't know where he will go in the future. Although my lord and the uncle are against each other, if the uncle has nowhere to go, kindness can speak a few words."

Since Liu Bei's sudden loss of power, Jian Yong has seen a lot of faces. Although Tai Shici had just bargained with him, it is also touching to be able to say such words at this time.

Jian Yong thought for a while and said: "To be honest, my lord has countermeasures. I am afraid that General Tai Shici's kindness will be disappointed, but Yong will bring back these words intact."

Tai Shici nodded and said: "Okay, since Uncle Huang has made a choice, I won't say much, but what I said just now is valid for a long time."

Jian Yong cupped his hands and saluted, stood up and said: "General Tai Shici's kindness, Yong knows it in his heart."

After the two discussed it, Jian Yong hurried back to Beihai to explain to Liu Bei.

At this time, Mi Zhu, who was going to Cao Cao's place, also reached an agreement and rushed back without stopping, but Cao Cao's request was doubled.

Liu Bei received a reply from both parties, and immediately summoned his confidants to prepare to implement the plan.

Wearing formal attire, Liu Bei sat in the handsome seat, looked at his few confidants, and said slowly: "Xuzhou was taken, Bei's fault has nothing to do with you."

"I am very touched that you are able to follow from thousands of miles away. Calling you here today is to announce our future path."

"Bei has discussed with Tai Shici to exchange some food from the two counties, but the food is far from enough, so we have to collect it from the two counties."

"Chen Dao, from now on, you must obey the constitution and arrangement, no matter what order you order, you must not object."

Hearing this, Chen Dao cupped his fists and said, "Yes, don't worry, my lord, I will definitely remember it."

"Well, good." Liu Bei nodded and said: "Zi Zhong, all the women, from now on, will be under your control. After the army sets off, they will be arranged in the middle of the army."

Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Zhu will definitely protect the family well."

Liu Bei said: "Okay, the other generals are on standby. No matter what happens, they are not allowed to go out without orders, otherwise they will all be executed."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

……

Hearing the relatively neat answer, Liu Bei was a little satisfied, and then said: "Okay, from now on, the civil servants of all ministries will count the grain and tell the people that those who are willing to leave with their preparations will be able to protect them all the way. They settled down."

With Liu Bei's order, he wanted to take the people away, but the journey was aimless. Everyone knew how many people could follow.

But since Liu Bei issued the order, no matter how difficult it is, they will do it.

As soon as Liu Bei made the arrangements, he ordered his subordinates to go back to prepare, leaving Jian and Mi alone, and began to plot again.

There are some things that cannot be said in front of everyone. At this time, there are only two people who believe in it, and Liu Bei is no longer hiding it.

Liu Bei asked his personal guards to clear out the people who were a hundred meters away from the tent, and then he said, "Zi Zhong, Xian He, you two are Bei's confidantes, there are some things that I will not hide from you."

"There is no food right now, it's a big deal, and there's nothing Bei can do about it, the only thing we can do is to deal with the common people."

The people of the two counties had been plundered by Chunyuqiong's army, but now that Liu Bei came here, it was undoubtedly to kill them, otherwise riots would break out.

And this approach also runs counter to the benevolence that Liu Bei has always shown. It can be seen from this that Liu Bei is really helpless, or his nature is exposed.

After hearing this, Mi Zhu said anxiously: "My lord, this matter must never be done. If you do this, you will lose the foundation of your life."

Liu Bei said helplessly: "Nowadays the recruits and veterans add up to [-] people. Whether they have foundations or not. If we don't prepare enough food, I'm afraid we will be dead bones before we meet with the army."

Hearing this, Mi Zhu was about to open his mouth anxiously, but he moved his mouth, but he didn't say it.

Originally, he wanted Liu Bei to disarm the army, but Liu Bei had just recruited new soldiers. He would definitely not agree to this proposal, but there is no better way than disarmament.

Seeing Mi Zhu's disappointed expression, Liu Bei's eyes turned red and he said, "Bei didn't think about it either, but the current situation is like this, so I have to make a bad move."

"However, Bei will not attack the common people. He will only clean up those bullies and families who are helping the evildoers. Don't worry, Zizhong."

Hearing Liu Bei's guarantee, Mi Zhu nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, since my lord has made a decision, Zhu will obey, but this matter must not be spread."

As soon as Liu Bei stopped the tears that were about to fall, he said, "It's natural. Bei had a plan early on. When Xianhe arrives, he and Chen Dao will clean up all the criminals in the city and confiscate their property."

Jian Yong cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Yong will definitely handle it properly and never let a villain escape."

"Well." Liu Bei nodded and said, "Okay, the food is settled, so the rest is just a matter of excuses. Although Cao Cao agreed, he had to guard against it. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Jian Yong thought for a while and said: "Well, my lord's consideration is not unreasonable. If Cao Cao suddenly repents, I'm afraid there will be a risk of being besieged."

"How about this, first send people to get in touch with the military division, let the three generals lead troops to respond, and force Cao Cao not to dare to do anything."

Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "This method is indeed good, but Bei still has another idea, that is, to contribute five thousand talents to His Majesty, and ask for an imperial edict, which will break Cao Cao's perversion."

Providing Liu Xie with five thousand soldiers and horses in exchange for an imperial decree that I don't know if it will be useful or not, this made the two puzzled.

Mi Zhu asked curiously: "My lord, I'm afraid this method is inappropriate. If I offend Cao Cao, I'm afraid it will miss a big deal."

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "No, Cao Cao won't be angry with this method, because Liu Xie is not in his eyes at all. To do this is to indirectly tell Cao Cao that we have made the biggest concession. If you still want to make a move, then you will have to die. "

"The real enemy in Cao Cao's eyes is Li Huiyi. If Tai Shici occupies two counties, he will not dare to fight our army to the death."

Liu Bei's ability to figure out human nature is at its peak. He can clearly guess Cao Cao's thoughts. This is also Liu Bei's ability to survive in troubled times.
