The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Originally, Liu Zheng didn't care about anything. The reason why he stood up was just to reminisce with Cai Yao. After all, he and Cai Yao had a good relationship, and it was impossible for him to be threatened by them while watching Cai Yao.

But Cai Zhong's words immediately hit Liu Zheng's heart directly, and then made Liu Zheng think back to what Cai Mao said a few days ago under the city of Changsha County.

At that time, Cai Mao also said that he and Cai Yao had children.

Liu Zheng thought Cai Mao was talking nonsense and didn't take it seriously, but now that he saw Cai Yao with his own eyes, and at the same time saw the little doll in Cai Zhong's hands, it would be hard to justify Liu Zheng's disbelief.

Liu Zheng originally suspected that something happened between him and Cai Yao that night, but now it seems that it really happened.

After all, we have children.

Chapter 514 I'm Happy to Be a Father

child.

Cai Yao has his child!

This was the only thought in Liu Zheng's mind at this time.

With the development of the matter to this point, even if Liu Zheng still had great doubts about this matter before, now he completely believes it.

But Cai Yao was right in front of him. If Cai Yao didn't get her own approval, Liu Zheng would inevitably still hesitate a bit.

So he came back from the shock, turned his gaze back to Cai Yao, looked at Cai Yao with such an expression, and asked the question he wanted to ask the most.

"Cai Yao, is what the person next to you said true?"

Cai Yao, who bowed her head and kept silent, finally stopped being silent after Liu Zheng asked this question. She raised her head, her face was full of tears, and shouted vigorously at Liu Zheng.

"Fake, don't believe what he said, they just want to use me to force you to submit, don't believe it!"

Cai Yao immediately vetoed Liu Zheng's question.

Seeing Cai Yao's denial, Cai Zhong, who was standing beside him, immediately became furious. He already hated Cai Yao very much, but seeing that Cai Yao wanted to ruin his good deeds, he couldn't help stretching out his arms and waving a wave. A slap hit Cai Yao's face.

With a slap, a clear and loud slap came from Cai Yao's face, even Liu Zheng in the city heard it.

"stop!"

Liu Zheng's face was clearly gloomy and cold.He yelled a word, glared at Cai Zhong, and murderous intent burst out from his eyes.

Although Cai Yao denied these things that Cai Zhong said, based on Liu Zheng's understanding of Cai Yao, this matter made him more convinced that it was true.Cai Yao was concerned about him and did not want to make it difficult for Liu Zheng, so she denied what Cai Zhong said.

Therefore, the relationship between Cai Yao and Liu Zheng, as well as the child in Cai Zhong's hands, has something to do with Liu Zheng, and he must save their mother and child.

"Hahaha, it's okay if Liu Zheng wants me to stop. Now you should do what our Lord Shepherd said and retreat immediately. Otherwise, I can't guarantee the safety of your women and your children."

Liu Biao didn't open his mouth to say cruel or even threatening words to Liu Zheng, but Cai Zhong was different. This matter was related to his future, so he naturally had to stand up and try to guide this matter towards his own expectations. direction to go.

At this time, Liu Zheng's hatred for Cai Zhong became significantly stronger, even surpassing Liu Biao. He tried to calm himself down and looked at Cai Zhong with cold eyes.

"Who are you? Let me guess, you call Cai Yao your younger sister, should it be the Cai family, Cai He? Or Cai Zhong?"

Liu Zheng also has some understanding of the Cai family. Cai Yao told him about the changes in the Cai family after Cai Mao was trapped, so he has heard a little about Cai Zhong and Cai He of the Cai family, although he has never met. , but these two names have been heard for a long time.

Although Cai Zhong and Cai He are not Cai Mao's biological younger brothers, they are only clan brothers, but their status in the Cai family is very high.

Liu Zheng obviously had a great killing intent towards this person on the tower, so he wanted to ask the other person's name. No matter who the other person is, if he offended Liu Zheng, he must die today.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, I'm Cai Zhong. Speaking of which, you have to call me uncle!"

Cai Zhong was obviously not afraid of Liu Zheng, because he held Liu Zheng's child in his hand, and with this little doll, Cai Zhong thought he was holding the gold medal for avoiding death and could speak freely.

"Cai Zhong, very good, my uncle, if you send Cai Yao down now, I can give you a decent death. If I wait for my army to enter the city, then you may be If you can't live, you can't die."

Liu Zheng spoke to Cai Zhong on the tower in an extremely cold tone.

Zu Lang and Tai Shici, who were standing beside Liu Zheng, had followed Liu Zheng for so long, and this was the first time they had seen Liu Zheng like this. Liu Zheng was usually very friendly with others, and he would never get angry easily.

But the current Liu Zheng is obviously gloomy and terrifying, as if it is the calm before the storm.

Liu Zheng's demeanor, which looked calm on the surface, but his tone was extremely angry, naturally also surprised Cai Zhong, Liu Biao and others on the tower.

However, although Cai Zhong was a little scared, he still had to pretend that he didn't believe that Liu Zheng dared to attack the city at this time.

"Hahaha, Liu Zheng, your wife and children are in my hands. I don't believe you dare to attack the city at this time. If you are stumped, you are really not afraid that I will kill her? And kill your son!"

When Cai Zhong was speaking, his tone was obviously flustered.

After all, seeing Liu Zheng's expression, he was really not sure how much of what Liu Zheng said was true.

Although Liu Zheng cared about Cai Yao's mother and son very much in his heart, even more than Liu Zheng's own life, but it was just like this. At this time, Liu Zheng couldn't show this kind of care. Once he showed it, Cai Zhong and Liu Biao He will grasp his mentality and make more unreasonable demands with Liu Zheng even more unscrupulously.

At that time, Liu Zheng will really have to be led by the nose by Liu Biao and Cai Zhong.

"Wife? Son? Hahaha, Cai Zhong, are you out of your mind? Don't you know who my wife is marrying? Also, where did I get my son from?"

"Cai Yao admitted it herself, the doll in your hand has something to do with me? You are really desperate, just find a doll and pretend to be my son, so I will retreat and let you go , Then in the future, if I attack any place, they can find a little doll, say it is my son, and let me retreat?"

With a cold tone, Liu Zhengsen yelled at Cai Zhong on the gate tower.

In one breath, he said everything he wanted to say. A few words made Cai Zhong break out in cold sweat.

Liu Zheng said so, but he just refused to admit it. Even if he knew that this was his son, Liu Zheng would not admit it.

Furthermore, Liu Zheng got married some time ago, and it seems that the wife that Ming Media is marrying is indeed not Cai Yao, but a woman named Zhang Muyu. Liu Biao, Cai Zhong and others are clear about these things.

Cai Yao is just acquainted with Liu Zheng. Speaking of it, the two really do not have a superficial relationship between husband and wife. Using Cai Yao as a shield is indeed unreasonable.

The way Liu Zheng is showing now is that he doesn't believe it at all. The main reason is that the denial of Cai Yao's statement just now put Cai Zhong and Liu Biao in an awkward position.

For a while, I really didn't know what to do.

Chapter 515 Negotiation

"No, Liu Zheng, you can't lie to me. My sister is pregnant with your child. You must know that you must care about my sister getting it. As long as you dare to attack the city, I will kill my sister. When the time comes, I will Your family will be buried with you!"

Cai Zhong also went to the doctor in a hurry. Under such circumstances, he had no other choice but to pin his hopes on Cai Yao, so no matter what Liu Zheng said, he relied on Cai Yao to confront Liu Zheng.

"Hahaha, thanks to the fact that you are still a member of a wealthy family, you can sacrifice even your own younger sister. It really impresses me. Cai Zhong, Cai Zhong, take ten thousand steps back, even if Cai Yao and this child in your hands, It's really my child, do you think that in my position, I would give up the possibility of conquering Xiangyang and then occupying the entire Jingzhou for the sake of a mere woman and child?"

"If it were you, would you abandon Jingzhou for the sake of your wife and children?"

When Liu Zheng asked a question, the faces of Cai Zhong and Liu Biao suddenly darkened.

Yes, let them think about it differently. Although Cai Yao and the child are a trump card, they can indeed make Liu Zheng use the mouse, but it is definitely impossible to completely use them to blackmail Liu Zheng.

If it were them, under such circumstances, they would definitely have the idea of ​​abandoning their wives and children.

So holding Cai Yao in their hands doesn't completely make Liu Zheng wary of rats, but it just makes him a little more wary. Therefore, Liu Zheng should attack the city, and he will attack the city. I'm afraid they know this well.

Just after figuring this out, both Cai Zhong and Liu Biao began to look ugly. Once Liu Zheng really ignored Cai Yao's life and ordered an attack, according to the terrifying strength that Liu Zheng showed just now, Xiangyang City would not be able to survive at all. It won't last long in Liu Zheng's hands. I'm afraid Liu Zheng can take down this city in less than an hour.

At this time, Liu Zheng, after saying such words, was actually anxious in his heart. He said he didn't care, but he was more anxious than anyone else in his heart.

He cared too much about the sons in Cai Yao and Cai Zhong's hands, and he suddenly became a father for no reason, but he hadn't even hugged the children, and was about to watch them be humiliated at the hands of the enemy, how could he hold back his breath.

But now is not the time for him to be impulsive. In order to protect Cai Yao's mother and son, he can only show this indifferent look first, the purpose is to convince Cai Zhong and Liu Biao on the tower that he will not change for Cai Yao's mother and son The decision to attack Xiangyang.

This is like doing business negotiations.

Liu Zheng must first show that he is not satisfied with the other party's goods, pick and choose faults and flaws in various places, and then be able to keep the price down when asking the price. Only by letting Liu Biao and Cai Zhong understand the value of the chips in their hands No, they can only make concessions during negotiations.

Therefore, when negotiating, you are on the passive side.

When Liu Zheng let them understand that the bargaining chip in his hand was not important, Liu Zheng spoke again and continued to talk to Cai Zhong and Liu Biao on the tower.

"Although I don't care about Cai Yao and the others, Cai Yao and I have always been friends. It is impossible for me to watch her being raped by you, so there is actually something to talk about about this matter. Let me let you go out of the city and leave for you. Two hours to escape, and I will attack the city after two hours, what do you think?"

It is impossible for Liu Zheng to show too much concession all at once, and it is impossible for him to back down in Xiangyang City, because once he backs down, the other party will think that his performance just now is fake, and only by continuing to be aggressive will Liu Biao and Cai CIC is afraid of the mouse, and dare not think that Liu Zheng dare not attack the city.

Liu Biao did not speak all the time, because he really felt scared. The conversation between Liu Zheng and Cai Zhong made Liu Biao secretly complain. If it was him, he would of course choose to abandon his wife and children and directly kill Xiangyang. It was he who was in Xiangyang, so he believed Liu Zheng's intention to attack Xiangyang.

He didn't dare to gamble, because if he lost the bet, he would die.

If it is said that Liu Zheng failed to defend the city at the beginning, perhaps Liu Zheng could let him survive. Now that Cai Yao is used to blackmail Liu Zheng, but Liu Zheng has been offended to death. In this way, once Liu Zheng breaks the city, he will definitely not Let him go.

After Liu Zheng made this request, Liu Biao almost agreed. After all, as long as he left, he would still be alive. If he was alive, he would be able to wait for reinforcements from Changsha.

But if he died here, everything would turn into loess and disappear.

But before Liu Biao could speak to agree, Cai Zhong who was beside him spoke first.

"Impossible, this is your suspicious strategy. When we escape from the city, you will soon send people to chase and kill us. We can't escape at all!"

Cai Zhong's words immediately awakened Liu Biao, who somewhat agreed.

That's right, if this is Liu Zheng's trick, they will completely become fish on Liu Zheng's chopping board when they leave the city, and let him slaughter them.

"Well, it's impossible. It's impossible for us to give you Xiangyang City. We stay in the city, and we can use the convenience of the city wall to deal with you. Once we leave the city, we will die."

Liu Biao immediately agreed with Cai Zhong's words, and didn't take Cai Zhong's unreasonableness at all.

"Then what else do you think? Do you think that if you defend the city, you will be able to defend it? To me, breaking the city is only a moment's work."

Liu Zheng showed a trace of displeasure.

"We have Cai Yao, you can't easily attack the city, but since you don't want her to die, it means we still have something to talk about. What exactly do you want to be able to retreat?"

Liu Biao took the initiative to stand up at this time. His idea was very simple. Now he was scared by Liu Zheng's troops. As long as Liu Zheng retreated, everything would be fine.

"Retreat? You want me to leave Xiangyang City and give up the entire Jingzhou?"

Liu Zheng immediately showed an unlikely look.

"Although I don't want Cai Yao to die, do you think Cai Yao is more important than Xiangyang City?"

"Everything has a price. As long as you ask for a price and I can satisfy it, it's easy to negotiate!"

Liu Biao was silent for a while, but decided to discuss it with Liu Zheng.

"It's not impossible for me to retreat."

Liu Zheng saw that Liu Biao had already set the trap, so Liu Zheng couldn't really attack the city, so he pretended to be silent and thought for a while before answering Liu Biao.

When Liu Biao heard that Liu Zheng was about to retreat, he immediately paid attention and asked questions.

"Tell me, how can you retreat!"

"It's easy for me to retreat. First, let Cai Yao and this child go first."

Chapter 516 Conditions

The first condition Liu Zheng put forward was naturally to ask Liu Biao and others to release Cai Yao's mother and son.

This is the most critical issue. If none of these items can be satisfied, then there is no need for this negotiation to continue.

After Liu Zheng made his first request, Liu Biao on the tower also thought about it carefully. After all, Cai Yao was the focus of their negotiations. Liu Biao also knew that this could not satisfy Liu Zheng. There was no chance of success.

So after hesitating again and again, Liu Biao nodded and answered Liu Zheng.

"Yes, we can release Cai Yao and this child, but how can you guarantee that you will retreat after we release them?"

In order to keep Xiangyang City, Liu Biao can still choose to make concessions when necessary, as long as Liu Zheng really lets go of Xiangyang City.

"I, Liu Zheng, once said something, how can I go back on it? I said that I would not attack Xiangyang, and I would not attack Xiangyang! If you can't even believe this, what are you talking about? Wouldn't it be better to just wait to die in the city?"

Liu Zheng did not regress, and did not promise Liu Biao anything at all.

Liu Biao was taken aback by Liu Zheng's answer. He looked at Liu Zheng silently, and couldn't say anything for a while. After hesitating for a while, he still agreed with Liu Zheng's statement. After all, he had no choice.

"Well, I believe you."

"Since the first condition is agreed, let's talk about the second condition. My people came all the way from Yuzhang County. How can I explain to my brothers if I go back like this? And in this city Thousands of brothers died abroad, where can I get the pensions of these brothers?"

When Liu Zheng said this, he already made it very clear. There are many such things in history. The defeated party will cede land and pay compensation.

Forget about ceding the land, Liu Biao doesn't have any territory to give to Liu Zheng. Sooner or later, Changsha County will be owned by Liu Zheng. Nanjun is now Xiangyang and other places. As for whether Jiangxia can be guarded by Huang Zu now, it is still a matter of two opinions. Things, Liu Biao can't cede the land, so he can only pay compensation.

Anyway, Xiangyang has many aristocratic families and a large population. Generally speaking, there is no shortage of money. ,

This is what Liu Zheng meant. It was not easy for him to come here, and it was not his style to go back empty-handed. No matter what, he had to ask for some benefits from Liu Biao, so that he could go back to fight Changsha County with satisfaction.

"You mean money and food?"

"There is no need for grain and grass. I am afraid that you will poison the grain and grass. If you give it to me, I dare not eat it. You can just discount it. My requirements are not high. I have 2 horses, and you will give it to me alone." A few tens of thousands of dollars is enough."

"One person gives tens of thousands of dollars, and your 2 people, even if one person gives [-] yuan, it will cost [-] million yuan. So much, how can we get it out?"

Liu Biao originally thought that these things could be settled with money, but who knew that Liu Zheng would open his mouth like a lion, and when he opened his mouth, he would ask for tens of thousands of gold in compensation.

You know, [-] gold is the income of a big family for several years. Even a wealthy family like the Cai family in Xiangyang may have a lot of money, but it is all the value of real estate, land and some real estate. It is impossible to have real working capital. The one with tens of thousands of gold is like Cai Mao, the head of the family.
