Three Kingdoms Super God of War System

"Land is not good, other things are easy to talk about."

I had interviewed Yang Hong before, and from Yang Hong's tone, I could hear that land was not attractive to Cao Anmin, what he wanted was population, craftsmen and minerals.Population can be described as the lifeblood of the princes along the way.The larger the population, the more taxes, the more talents, and the more soldiers.Craftsmen represent productivity. Although the status of these people is extremely low in the eyes of the upper class, in fact, everyone knows that they will never be without them in the world.Minerals are the blood of the princes of one side. Since the beginning of the use of minerals, the core of the competition of the princes from all walks of life lies in this.

It seems that these things are relatively light compared to the loss of territory, but in fact, these are the keys to widening the gap in national strength between the two countries.Gaining peace with this is no less than fighting a fire with a salary. If the salary is endless, the fire will never go out.

"Liu Jingzhou's family has a big business, and he is indeed rich and powerful when he talks about it. I, Jiangdong, can't compare." Lu Su's face looked a little lonely.Today's Jiangdong is in an embarrassing situation.

"Jiangdong is vast and rich in resources. I don't know what Marquis Wu plans to exchange for Zhou Yu, the governor and others?"

"My lord intends to use 20 people in Shanyue, plus 30 jin of iron, to test Cao Jiujiang's intentions. If it doesn't work, then find a way."

Kuai Che gasped, he knew exactly how much Jiang Dong had lost.In order to change people, they need another blood transfusion. This Jiangdong's family may really be empty.

But it’s not enough if this deal is not done.

If Zhou Yu, Huang Gai, Tai Shici and others were placed in Jingzhou's position.

It is equivalent to people like Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Kuai Che.For a force, how could it be possible to give up these people, not to mention 20 Shanyue people and 30 jin of iron.Even if it is 50 people, [-] catties of iron have to be exchanged.

Thinking about it this way, I only need to change one person, no matter how expensive it is, it will be much cheaper than Jiangdong.This is the nature of human beings. No matter how angry a person is after being deceived, as long as he finds out that another person has also been deceived, and the degree of being deceived is deeper than himself, he will feel relieved.

The two of them had explained their situation clearly, and there was no point in talking too much, after a short exchange of pleasantries, they went back to their rooms to rest.

This wait is a full ten days.During this period, both Kuai Liang and Lu Su went to the Santo's Mansion to inquire many times, and even arranged eyeliners to keep a close watch around the Santo's Mansion.It's a pity that apart from being able to see Yao Guangxiao in the first few days, even Yao Guangxiao disappeared in the following days, and the entire senior management of Shouchun seemed to avoid them consciously.

A few days before the Spring Festival, when the two of them were about to collapse, they finally heard that Cao Anmin's carriage had returned to the mansion. They thought that the other party would delay, but they didn't expect Cao Anmin to directly order them to enter the mansion for discussion.

Jiangdong Lu Su was the first to be called by name. The last time the peace talks broke down, Lu Su still broods about it. It was because of the momentary disagreement that Jiangdong fell into disaster again.All the people in Wuhou's mansion were captured alive by Cao Anmin, which not only increased Cao Anmin's bargaining chip, but also cast a shadow on Jiangdong, which had suffered heavy losses.

"I've met you, my lord." Lu Su took a few steps forward and bowed to see the young man in front of him.

"Excuse me." Cao Anmin did not bully others, and invited Lu Su to take the seat.

"Thank you for your seat." Lu Su's face was full of sincerity, he saluted Cao Anmin, and sat quietly opposite Cao Anmin.

"Why did Zijing come to my Shouchun?"

Lu Su smiled lightly, his heart was already on fire, and Jiang Dong sent several letters to remind him, but unfortunately there was no follow-up on the matter of He Tan.As an envoy, it is really unreasonable that I have not made an inch of merit.

"Sudai Wuhou came to discuss the peace talks, and exchanged Zhou Yu and others."

Cao Anmin smiled lightly, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip: "Why does Jiangdong want peace talks? I, Jiujiang, have no intention of a truce. You are the ones who want to fight, and you are the ones who want peace talks. The good people let you do it, but He once looked down on me, Cao Anmin."

Lu Su's face changed drastically, and his lips trembled a little, regardless of whether Cao Anmin said something angry or false.At the very least, it can be proved that Jiangdong's heart in Jiujiang is not dead, Jiujiang can still fight, but I, Jiangdong, really can't fight.

"My lord, calm down. My lord knows that this is wrong, so he specially arranged for me to come here to discuss it, and he is willing to pay a certain price." Lu Su said.

Come, Cao Anmin thought to himself, and the way he looked at Lu Su changed.

"I don't know what Marquis Wu intends to use in exchange for Jiangdong and others?"

"15 Shanyue people, plus 20 catties of iron."

Chapter 88 The Lion's Big Opening

"15 Shanyue people, 20 catties of iron? Could it be that Gongjin and others are not as important to Wu Hou as Lujiang? In exchange for Lujiang, Wu Hou took out 30 stones of grain and grass, 12 catties of iron, and 75 people. The boatmen, plus [-] Shanyue people. They are so stingy now, if Gong Jin and others know about this, it will chill the hearts of many loyal people."

Lu Su naturally knew that the price was too small, but unfortunately, Jiangdong really had nothing to offer now.

"Your Excellency, I don't know. I have fought in Jiangdong several times, and the treasury is empty. Even for these things, I am afraid it will take time to raise them. Wu Hou is full of sincerity and asked me to promote the reconciliation of the two families. I hope you will be magnanimous. Forgive Jiangdong this time." After speaking, Lu Su lay down on the ground, tears streaming down his face, waiting quietly for Cao Anmin's reply.

"Hey, that's all. Since Zijing said so, in order to show my integrity in Jiujiang, all the people in Guotai and Houfu can take them back. As the Spring Festival approaches, let Bofu's family reunite and have a good year."

Such a ruthless trick, Lu Su's expression suddenly changed.It seems that Cao Anmin made a favor and sent these people back to Jiangdong, but in fact it was a plan to punish his heart.Those soldiers and generals who worked so hard for Jiangdong, if they saw that only these people returned to Jiangdong first, no matter how loyal they were, they would definitely have something in their minds.

But even if he knew it was a pit, Lu Su had to jump down.

"On behalf of Marquis Wu, I would like to thank my lord. Since my lord is so sincere, I will take a step back. 20 Shanyue people, 30 catties of iron."

Diplomacy is like buying vegetables. Even if you think the price is one, you have to say it is three, and then wait for the other party to bargain.When the price becomes [-]%, or even [-]%, the buyers are happy because they feel that they have made money by haggling the price, and the seller has also got the price they want.

Now, Lu Su is doing the opposite, first lowering the bargaining chip to the lowest level, and then slowly raising it.It seems that Cao Anmin is getting more and more lucrative, but there is still room for the bottom line in his heart, so in the end he can still exchange small profits for the biggest rewards.

If he was facing other people, Lu Su's trick might have worked, but what he met was Cao Anmin.

In my previous life, as a courier, I had to negotiate with the company all year round because of the unit price of the courier.How can a layman like Lu Su understand the experience gained from being trapped countless times.

Cao Anmin sneered: "If Zijing is always like this, then I can only say sorry." After saying that, Cao Anmin got up and was about to leave.

Lu Su quickly stopped the other party and said with a smile: "My lord, don't blame me, since you don't want to, you might as well just say what you think in your heart, so we can talk."

Cao Anmin smiled slightly: "If you want people, it's very simple, as long as Jiangdong gives me 30 Shanyue people, 50 catties of iron, plus [-] boatmen and [-] blacksmiths."

Lu Su's face turned pale when he heard this, and his lips trembled slightly.

There are 30 Shanyue people, including those in Jiangdong. Although there is no 50 catties of iron, people can be ordered to dig it quickly.But it is difficult for the boatmen and blacksmiths.

The Jiangdong navy was destroyed in the First World War. If it wants to regain its strength, the formation of the navy is not a problem, but the key lies in the repair and construction of warships.

Without boatmen and blacksmiths, the recovery process of the Jiangdong Navy is bound to be a lot slower.On the contrary, after obtaining these talents, Jiujiang Cao Jun is bound to advance by leaps and bounds, leaving Jiangdong far behind.Even if Jiangdong recovers in the future, it will be difficult to pose any threat to the enemy troops in Jiujiang.

"Is Zijing in trouble?"

"I dare not make a decision on this matter, I can only pass the news to the lord temporarily, and ask Marquis Wu to make a decision."

"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. Zijing can ask Marquis Wu slowly. I'll wait for your reply, but the ugliness comes first. Your big group consumes a lot of my food and grass every day. As time goes by, my food and grass are not enough. It’s time to ask you for food expenses.”

Lu Su didn't almost fall down, looking at Cao Anmin with embarrassment on his face.

After Lu Su left, Kuai Liang was invited over by Cao Anmin. Looking at the slightly cold teacup on the table, Kuai Liang smiled slightly: "Look at this posture, it's good that Zijing didn't get it in the hands of the young master." .”

Cao Anmin pretended to be surprised and asked, "How do you know that?"

"I have met Zijing a few times, and he is a loyal and brave person. This kind of person often collapses in front of the mountain without changing his face. This cup of tea has gradually cooled, and he only took a sip. It must be An Min. Young Master Shizi opened his mouth loudly, which completely shattered his confidence, causing him to leave in a hurry without drinking tea."

Another old fox who is good at observing words and expressions, Cao Anmin quickly put a label on Kuai Liang in his heart.

Although Kuai Che, the two heroes of the Kuai family, is very well-known, in the novels, every time Kuai Liang plays an extremely important role, the strategies he offers are also life-and-death strategies.

Seeing it now, it really is extraordinary.

"Mr. Zirou, since we know this, let's not make any fools around it. To make a long story short, what does Liu Jingzhou plan to exchange for Cai Mao and your five thousand sailors?"

"My lord said that everything else is negotiable except for the land."

Hao, Jingzhou really has a lot of local tyrants.

"In that case, I want three hundred boatmen, plus two more."
