The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

At this time, Lu Qiling had only half told her experience, and hadn't finished talking to Lu Bu completely. Seeing that Liu Zheng was about to leave, Lu Qiling naturally had no objection, but Lu Bu still wanted to talk to Liu Zheng politely. .

"Then I won't keep the lord. If there is too much, I'd better thank the lord first and send the little girl here."

Lu Bu obviously also wanted to chat with his daughter.

Seeing this, Liu Zheng stopped talking.

"You're welcome, goodbye."

After saying something casually, Liu Zheng took Dian Wei and others with him, left Lu Bu's residence, and headed to Liu Bei's envoy.

With such a delay in Lu Qiling's matter, Liu Zheng was able to arrive at the meeting place on time, but now it was indeed delayed for an hour.

When Liu Zheng arrived at the meeting place, it was almost dark.

However, Liu Zheng also roughly guessed why Liu Bei sent the envoy here. Most likely he wanted to ask Liu Zheng for a cure for the plague. Insist on meeting the messenger.

Liu Bei's envoy is naturally the eloquent Jian Yong.

Jian Yong's reputation in the Three Kingdoms period was not great, and many people may not even have heard of such a person.

However, this person is indeed one of the advisers who has followed Liu Zheng for the longest time. He is Liu Bei's childhood friend, and he has known Liu Bei since he was a child.

In terms of status, although he is not a military adviser like Zhuge Liang, his status is definitely that Zhuge Liang must have a bit of face when he sees him. In Liu Bei's heart, Jian Yong's status is second only to Mi Zhu in history.

Of course, Liu Bei does not have Mi Zhu now, so Jian Yong is currently Liu Bei's most capable and trusted advisor.

This time sending Jian Yong to talk to Liu Zheng about the plague is enough to show that Liu Bei attaches great importance to this matter.

Because Liu Zheng had sent someone to bring Jian Yong into the living room long ago, but Liu Zheng hadn't seen him for a long time.

Jian Yong, who was a little anxious in his heart, was able to keep calm, but Zhang Fei, who was in charge of escorting Jian Yong, couldn't bear it now.

"His grandma, Liu Zheng, a bastard, tricked us into coming here, but he didn't show up. Let us wait. What does that mean?"

Zhang Fei's temper is relatively irritable. When Liu Zheng came over after waiting in this hall for a long time, he always felt a little bit unbearable and complained.

Seeing Zhang Fei like this, Jian Yong was a little anxious, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who told them that this time they were asking Liu Zheng for help. Naturally, they had to keep a low voice if they wanted to ask Liu Zheng for help.

"General Yide, we are here to ask to see Liu Zheng. Naturally, we have to take the initiative to wait for Liu Zheng to come here. Whether he would like to see us or not is still a matter of discussion, but since he brought us into this living room, it is still a Will come, otherwise, if you want to reject us, there is no need to do anything extra."

"Hmph, I see, he just doesn't want to see us. Not long ago, we were still fighting in Qingzhou. He did it on purpose and wanted to humiliate us."

Zhang Fei actually knew that Liu Zheng would come, but he deliberately said so much, but it was actually for the guards who said Liu Zheng would be here.

Of course, this sentence was also heard by Liu Zheng who walked in from the outside.

"General Zhang Fei, you are wrong. I, Liu Zheng, never humiliate him behind others' backs. If I want to humiliate him, it will only be on the battlefield."

Liu Zheng's voice approached from a distance, and a figure soon came in from outside.

When the people in the hall saw Liu Zheng, the guards immediately saluted. Jian Yong and Zhang Fei did not have so many rules. When they saw Liu Zheng coming in, they greeted him slowly.

He took the initiative to report his own life.

"My lord, Jian Yong, whose name is Xianhe, is a counselor under Yanzhou Mu Liu Bei's tent. Today, I was ordered by my lord to come to see your lord."

Jian Yong spoke first.

Zhang Fei murmured reluctantly at Liu Zheng.

"Zhang Fei, we've met before, so we don't need to introduce any more."

Although Zhang Fei was reluctant, but when he saw Liu Zheng appearing, he immediately suppressed his restlessness.

After all, before coming here, everyone had told him not to offend Liu Zheng, but to listen to Jian Yong.

Zhang Fei is not the one who decides, and he is afraid of disturbing the conversation between Liu Zheng and Jian Yong.

Liu Zheng nodded after hearing the introductions of Jian Yong and Zhang Fei. In fact, he knew both of them, but he was more familiar with Zhang Fei.

"Liu Bei fought me in Qingzhou not long ago. How long ago did you send all of you here to ask me to see you? What's the matter?"

Liu Zheng didn't talk about anything else, and got straight to the point as soon as he came in.

When Jian Yong saw Liu Zheng asking, he was naturally even more happy, and he didn't need to say anything else, he just talked about his purpose.

"I heard that your lord has a solution to this plague, so I'm here to ask you to see me."

Chapter 626 Lobbying

Sure enough, when Jian Yong opened his mouth, it was almost the same as what Liu Zheng guessed.

However, knowing the purpose of Jian Yong and others, Liu Zheng smiled lightly, and immediately showed a look of disdain.

"Haha, Mr. Jian Yong, do you think highly of me, Liu Zheng?"

"Let's not say that the plague under my command has not been completely resolved, but just say, even if I have a solution to this plague, why would I tell Liu Bei?"

"Could it be possible, do you think that I, Liu Zheng, am a great good man, willing to help the enemy and let the enemy grow? The more severe your plague is, the more beneficial it is to me?"

Liu Zheng smiled faintly, looked at Jian Yong, and wanted to see what Jian Yong would answer.

Normal people, putting themselves in Liu Zheng's position, would not just agree to Jian Yong's request.

Not everyone is willing to do this kind of capitalizing on the enemy. Helping Liu Bei solve the plague under his command is not good for Liu Zheng, but it greatly facilitates Liu Bei's affairs.

Could Liu Zheng be such a disadvantaged person?

Obviously not.

But since Jian Yong was able to come, he obviously had a good foundation and knew what to say to persuade Liu Zheng.

"You can't say that, the plague is not a family matter, but a major event in the world. If everyone can't unite to fight together, the losses caused will affect the entire big man."

"If my lord can disclose the method of preventing the plague to the public, it can be regarded as accumulating virtue and benefiting my lord and cultivating my reputation. My lord, you think you were born as a rebel. If you can solve this plague this time, wouldn't your lord's reputation among the people be as high as the sky? ?”

Jian Yong can only use this righteousness to persuade Liu Zheng, forcing Liu Zheng to tell the public the method of curing the plague.

Otherwise, Jian Yong really couldn't think of any reason to persuade an enemy to help his own people.

"It's true to say that, but why would I do this? After all, I was born as a traitor, would I care about this? If I cared about my reputation, I wouldn't be a traitor either."

Liu Zheng said this on purpose, just to see what other means Jian Yong and others have to persuade him.

Jian Yong didn't expect that Liu Zheng's expression of being a dead pig not afraid of boiling water made him prepare a lot of lines, and he didn't know where to start for a while.

However, Jian Yong was placed with high hopes by Liu Bei after all. Since he came here, he will not give up easily when he sees Liu Zheng here.

After a little hesitation, he continued to speak.

"My lord, although you don't care about these reputations, it is also a merit to save the people of the big man. You can't watch these sick people die like this. Although they are not the people of the territory under your command, the people of the world It’s a family, and everyone is a man’s people, save others and save yourself. My lord said, if you can help this time, he will definitely remember this kindness.”

Regardless of whether Liu Zheng agrees or not, Jian Yong will continue to lobby.After all, if the plague is left unchecked and the plague spreads like this, the people under Liu Bei's command will surely suffer a lot of casualties.

Of course, Liu Zheng is not really hard-hearted. Faced with the spread of the plague, Liu Zheng is necessary and even obliged to rescue everyone from any point of view. Giving it to Liu Bei is not what Liu Zheng wants to see, so Liu Zheng has to agree, but he still has to make some demands.

So after pondering for a moment, he replied to Jian Yong.

"Mr. Jian Yong is not my Liu Zheng, who wants to refuse with a hard heart, but that although I have a way to treat the diseases caused by the plague, the medicinal materials needed are not easy to find. It will take some time, and the medicinal materials required by the plague are quite depleted, and it will be difficult to calm down my own people in a short period of time, so there is no way to come up with more medicinal materials and give them to you."

When Liu Zheng answered Jian Yong again, he obviously changed his tone, from the initial refusal to some difficulties.

For Jian Yong, such a change in result is very big, because Jian Yong also saw the possibility of Liu Zheng's agreement, but he said so now in preparation for negotiating conditions.

After Jian Yong understood Liu Zheng's intention, he continued without thinking.

"My lord, since the medicinal materials are difficult to gather, can you tell me the formula, so that we can go back and gather the medicine ourselves to suffer?"

"Recipe? That is naturally impossible. This is our secret, we may tell you this, and even if we tell you the recipe of the plague, you may not be able to make the potion, and you will not be able to take it. Use it."

Of course, it was impossible for Liu Zheng to give the prescription to Jian Yong, at most he would give some of the prepared medicine to Liu Bei.

"If you don't want to part with this formula, can your lord give me some potions directly? After all, the plague in Yanzhou has killed and injured countless people, and my lord is also eager to save people. I hope my lord will help me. My lord is willing to bear all the expenses of the potion. "

What Liu Zheng was waiting for was Jian Yong's words. He didn't want anything else, but he wanted Liu Bei to buy it from him.

After all, it is impossible for Liu Zheng to give Liu Bei away for nothing, but if he buys it at a high price, Liu Zheng is also willing to give some medicine to Liu Bei's people.

"If this is the case, then I can sell brother Liu Bei's face, but well, I can give you some medicine, but I have a few conditions."

"What conditions?"

Jian Yong was delighted to see that Liu Zheng had finally agreed to give up some of the potion. He didn't care about so much, let alone a few conditions, even ten conditions, and he would agree to it at this time.

After all, human life is at stake, with medicine, people under Liu Bei's command can be treated, and even the generals under him can be treated, which cannot be measured by money.

"First, as I said before, the preparation of this medicine requires a lot of medicinal materials. It is difficult to collect these medicinal materials. There are some precious ones, and I don't have many on hand. You must give me some of the medicinal materials I need. Just provide it."

Liu Zheng opened his mouth and raised his first condition.

Jian Yong didn't have any opinion on this.

"No problem, this condition is very reasonable. We must fight this plague together and find medicinal materials from each other. It is also appropriate."

Seeing that Jian Yong agreed, Liu Zheng continued to speak.

"Second, because this medicine is not easy to make, and you don't know how to treat it, so it must be sent to you by my people. Your patients also need to be healed by my people."

Chapter 627 Conditions

If the first condition put forward by Liu Zheng was purely to blackmail Liu Bei, then the second condition is a bit insidious.

The reason why Liu Zheng asked his own people to treat Liu Bei was that, as Jian Yong said, the people under Liu Bei spread Liu Zheng's glory.

After all, the medicine was given to Liu Bei, and the kindness will be counted on Liu Bei at that time, but Liu Zheng sent someone there to treat the patient while instilling in the patient that this is Liu Zheng's medicine, and it was Liu Zheng who rescued him. their thinking.

In this way, Liu Zheng's reputation in Yanzhou will definitely be as high as the sky. Although Liu Bei spent the money, the kindness is completely on Liu Zheng's head, and in this way, Liu Zheng can also take advantage of the opportunity to install spies in Yanzhou , kill two birds with one stone.

Liu Zheng was not afraid that Jian Yong would not agree. After all, only Liu Zheng's subordinates knew how to use the potion. After all, Liu Zheng's school trained hundreds of military doctors every year.

Over the years, Liu Zheng has had hundreds of military doctors under him. It is simply too easy for some of these military doctors to go to Yanzhou to help Liu Zheng spread the greatness of Liu Zheng.

Liu Zheng doesn't lack military doctors, what he lacks is medicine.

Of course, if there are these medicinal materials from Liu Bei, the medicinal materials will surely increase greatly, and they will not be so scarce.

After Liu Zheng said these words, Jian Yong didn't understand what Liu Zheng was thinking, but even if he understood, he couldn't refuse. If he really refused Liu Zheng, then his trip would be in vain up.

Although there was some reluctance in his heart, Jian Yong gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, no problem. It's better to have Mr. Liu Zheng and your people go to Yanzhou to help us rescue the patients, and it's better than those of us who have little experience."

"Well, if you can agree, then everything is easy to talk about. The last condition is that the rampant plague will definitely affect the luck of the big man in a short time, so I have one last condition."

"What conditions?"

"I would like to ask Yanzhou Mu Liu Bei to send someone to tell the court that the emergence of this plague is not a good thing. I hope that the court and I will temporarily suspend our troops to deal with the plague together instead of fighting among ourselves at this time."

Liu Zheng is worried that the imperial court will continue to raise troops at this time. Although this possibility is unlikely, after all, the court's troops are not completely free from fear of the plague. Too many soldiers and horses gathered together will greatly increase the chance of infection. Who is not afraid? Dare to attack Liu Zheng at this time.

But once the plague is over, it will be difficult to say, so Liu Zheng wants to take a two-year truce with the court directly, and use these two years for self-cultivation. First of all, Liu Zheng has been fighting continuously before, and his troops have been depleted, so it is time for self-cultivation One or two.

For Liu Zheng's words, Jian Yong was surprised at first, but quickly agreed.

"Okay, I'll go back and talk to Mr. State Shepherd."

In fact, what Liu Zheng said was also what Jian Yong hoped. When the plague was rampant, and Liu Bei had just controlled the entire Yanzhou, he encountered the plague and had not yet fully controlled it. Liu Bei also needed time. Stabilize your own strength.

Jian Yong has satisfied the three conditions put forward by Liu Zheng, so Liu Zheng has nothing to say.

"In this case, Mr. Jian Yong, you can stay here for two days. I will start to prepare manpower, and then I will follow you to the first five Yanzhou. Later, I will ask someone to give you a prescription. This prescription is currently ours. Rare medicinal materials."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he reminded him again.

"At that time, you can send people back to Yanzhou to prepare these medicinal materials, and prepare some money at the same time. This medicine is not cheap."

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he planned to leave directly, but when he saw the dazed Zhang Fei, Liu Zheng stopped again.

"I wanted to see Lu Bu at first, forget it, let him stay with his daughter for a while, Zhang Fei, you finally came to my place, why don't I be the host, why don't you have a drink?" Sample?"

Liu Zheng is still somewhat interested in Zhang Fei. After all, this guy is not inferior to Guan Yu, and may even be stronger than Guan Yu.

There are not many people under Liu Zheng who can fight Zhang Fei.

Liu Zheng even had the idea of ​​directly detaining Zhang Fei, but after thinking about it, this is not what he should do. The two armies are at war, let alone beheaded, not to mention that it is a time of peace. Killing Zhang Fei will always hurt his reputation.

If Liu Zheng's reputation is tarnished, he is a traitor himself, and no one will come to him by then.

That Zhang Fei was also straight-tempered, as soon as he heard about drinking, he agreed immediately.

"That must be done. This is your territory. If you don't buy me a drink, I will scold you a few words. You, Liu Zheng, are too stingy!"

"Haha, I like General Zhang's personality, so I'll have a good drink with you."
