Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Sun Qian never expected that Zang Ba would be so stubborn. He had just talked for a long time, but he was unmoved, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

Sun Qian had no problem with analyzing the pros and cons or his conversation style, but what he feared most was people like Zang Ba, who were straightforward and stubborn, and would not tolerate anything even the emperor could do.

Since the soft one is not enough, then use the hard one.

"Uncle Liu's reputation is known all over the world. All the people in the Han Dynasty surrendered to him upon hearing his name. Now, of the thirteen states in the world, I have taken over three of them. Who in the world can resist Uncle Liu's power?

Now that Liu Huangshu admires your talent and wants you to surrender, do you really want to stay here and not surrender?"

Zang Ba's face was a little gloomy. He was well aware of the military strength of Xuzhou and knew that it was impossible for them to pose any substantial threat. But if Uncle Liu really transferred troops from Yuzhou, it would be hard to say.

Seeing that Zang Ba was silent, Sun Qian continued, "Since General Zang is unwilling to surrender, I will take my leave. My master has said that he will personally lead his troops here in ten days to hunt with the general."

"Is your words serious?"

"The emperor's uncle's words are as good as gold. How can we take them lightly?"

Zang Ba glanced at Sun Guan and saw that there was also worry in his eyes.

Even though Zang Ba's words sound very powerful, if he were to really face off against a figure like Liu Huangshu, how could he not be afraid?

Yuan Shu had many brave generals and elite soldiers under his command, but he was still driven out of Yuzhou by Emperor Liu.

Lu Bu was extremely brave and no one in the world could defeat him, but in front of Luoyang City, he still threw away his weapons and fled in a panic.

Xu Chu was already very annoyed when he saw Zang Ba's indecision. If Uncle Liu had not told him that the negotiations should be led by Sun Qian, he would have taken over the conversation long ago.

In his opinion, it is not that troublesome and can be done with just a few words.

Are you willing to surrender?

Unwilling to surrender.

Then fight.

Willing to surrender.

Reorganize the team and follow me.

It's done. It's that simple.

After a while, he looked at Zang Ba who was still in deep thought, and couldn't help shouting: "You dare not fight, and you don't want to surrender, what's the reason?"

Zang Ba was stunned by the roar.

Who is this person?

"Gongyou, who is this person? Why is he so rude?"

Sun Qian smiled and said, "Generals under Emperor Liu, Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang."

Xu Zhongkang?

There was a strange expression on Zang Ba's face. Xu Chu had been following behind Sun Qian. In Zang Ba's mind, he thought Xu Chu was just an ordinary soldier. He didn't expect it to be Xu Chu.

"But in the battles of Yuzhou, Xu Chu and Xu Zhongkang were often the first to ascend the battlefield?"

"It is Xu."

Zang Ba stood up and looked at Xu Chu carefully. Seeing that he was very powerful and imposing, he could not help but praise him: "Everyone says that General Xu is the Fan Kuai of the time. Seeing him today, I find that he is indeed extraordinary."

Xu Chu had a very bad impression of Zang Ba. He felt that this man was too unstraightforward and did not act like a leader at all.

"I don't know whether Fan Kuai is Fan Kuai or not. I am not bragging, but in my eyes, you soldiers are nothing but chickens and dogs, unable to withstand a single blow.

If I lead my troops to attack Kaiyang City, it would take less than half an hour to flatten the place."

Zang Ba: "This...

General Xu, you and I are both commanders, and although I admire your bravery, it is a bit exaggerated to make such a boast. "

"you do not believe?"

"Do not believe."

"That's good." Xu Chu said straightforwardly, "Call all the soldiers who were in your yard and have them attack together. If I can't defeat them in half an hour, from now on, when I see you, I will immediately retreat and never set foot in Kaiyang for the rest of my life."

Zang Ba believed everything he said, saying that he could only fight against three hundred elite soldiers alone.

"General Xu, this condition is far from enough." Zang Ba's eyes flashed with wisdom and he smiled faintly.

"If you have any other conditions, just mention them. As long as I, Xu Chu, can do it, I will never be vague."

"If you cannot defeat 300 soldiers, then let Liu Huangshu give up Xia Pi City and never invade it again in his lifetime. Do you dare to agree?"

Giving up Xia Pi City means giving up Xuzhou. It must be said that Zang Ba's calculations were too loud.

"My master accepted Xuzhou at the request of Tao Qian for the sake of the people of Xuzhou. It's a joke that you can accept Xuzhou with just a few words."

Without waiting for Xu Chu to answer, Sun Qian took the lead in expressing his opposition.

"Why not? I can promise you now."

"Okay, in that case, we have a deal."

"Wait a minute."

"What? Are you scared and want to go back on your word?" Zang Ba sneered at Xu Chu.

"What if I win?"

"If I win, it's very simple. I will immediately submit to Uncle Liu, organize the soldiers, and go to Xia Pi City in a few days."

"A gentleman's word."

"I will never regret it."

The two of them talked back and forth, and Sun Qian was completely confused.

One of them really dared to make a request, and the other really dared to agree to it, and the key is that they both believed it.

Zang Ba didn't even think about it. Uncle Liu took over Xuzhou. Just based on a bet between the two of you, can Xu Chu give in with just a few words?

Sun Qian thought it was impossible.

Although he had just surrendered to Uncle Liu, he did not yet understand Uncle Liu's style of doing things.

However, Liu Bei's series of actions, such as occupying Luoyang, controlling Chang'an, and attacking Yuzhou, show that he has great ambitions and will never sit idly by and watch the Han Dynasty, which has existed for 400 years, gradually fall into decline.

How could such a man who was determined to carry the Han Dynasty on his shoulders easily give up Xuzhou, which he had just obtained?

"General Xu, we should not take this matter lightly. Let's report this to our lord before making a decision."

"Does Gongyou not believe in me, Xu Chu?"

"That's not the case. But there is always an exception. What if..."

Sun Qian hesitated to speak, but the meaning of his words was already very clear.

"Nothing will happen," Xu Chu said firmly, with a look that left no room for doubt. "I've already said it before. In my eyes, these people are just like chickens and dogs. They can't pose any threat to me. I can defeat them all with one hand."

Sun Qian's eyes were as big as copper bells. What's going on? One hand, why is Xu Chu getting more and more outrageous?

If I persuade him a few more times, he might just get hot-headed and say he can win without using his hands.

Seeing that Sun Qian was silent, Xu Chu said coldly: "General Zang, let those soldiers come out. The long sword in my hand has been thirsty for a long time."

Looking at the shining long sword in Xu Chu's hand, Zang Ba was puzzled.

This won't work. Even if our side wins, there will inevitably be many casualties under Xu Chu's sword.

"General Xu, since this is a competition, we cannot cause unnecessary casualties. I have a suggestion. We cannot use weapons. What do you think?"
