"What? Yuan...Yuan Gong wants eight thousand elite soldiers and one hundred thousand grains and grass?"
"Do you want to send it to Huainan within a month?"
Everyone was shocked, but they were also inexplicably relieved.
Li Ye nodded: "After sending people to deliver troops, money and food, you can come back with a list of appointments."
"At that time, General Sun, you will no longer be a 'fighting general to kill the bandits', but a real general to kill the bandits!"
"I will respectfully call you 'Wuchenghou'!"
Li Ye said and raised his hand towards Sun Ce.
Sun Ce didn't listen to this at all.
He only heard that Li Ye did not say that Yuan Shu wanted to call him back to Shouchun and confiscate his territory and military power.
"Eight thousand soldiers and one hundred thousand shi of grain, I have approved them all."
"Is that all? Does Mr. Yuan have anything else to do?"
Sun Ce said coldly.
Li Ye was stunned and thought to himself, doesn't Sun Ce also bargain?
I'm prepared to talk a lot.
You agreed straight away, so all the conversational skills I practiced along the way were in vain?
"Oh, yes, I almost forgot, Mr. Yuan still needs five million yuan for military supplies..."
"allow!"
Sun Ce spit out one word.
Li Ye was completely confused. The item he added on his own initiative was so simple and accurate!
As the young master said, Wu County is the richest in the world!
Five million dollars is definitely less!
Seeing that Sun Ce and everyone else looked unkind, Li Ye felt a little guilty and no longer dared to sit down and raise prices or speak randomly.
"That's all. Mr. Yuan has nothing else to explain."
Sun Ce was relieved.
As long as Yuan Shu does not recall himself or replace Zhu Zhi's Wujun prefect, then any conditions are acceptable.
Even if I can't get my mother and brothers back, as long as I can delay it for another year and a half and give myself some time to deal with Wang Lang, Yan Baihu and the like, I will be considered lucky among misfortunes.
Once you have completely occupied the territory of Jiangdong and have enough troops, then you will no longer be such a big deterrent if you use my mother and brother to threaten me.
…
He sent someone to send Li Ye to the post station to rest, and Sun Ce summoned the civil and military forces to reconsider the matter.
"Zigang, I have sent you to supervise eight thousand soldiers and transport one hundred thousand grains and five million coins to Shouchun as envoy. Do you dare to go?"
Zhang Hong stood up quickly: "I'm willing to go!"
Sun Ce nodded and looked at Lu Fan: "Zi Heng, I will help you again this time."
Lu Fan quickly raised his hands and said: "General, if you tell me where this is, I will definitely rescue my wife and everyone from the trouble!"
"Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huang Gai... the generals obey your orders!"
The generals took a step forward and responded in unison: "The last general is here!"
"When you return to camp, you must check your strength and practice more from now on!"
"As soon as spring begins, we will send troops to Kuaiji!"
"Follow military orders!"
After everyone dispersed, Sun Ce summoned Zhu Zhi alone, as the captain of Wu County and in charge of the prefecture of Wu County.
"Jun Li, do you have a clear understanding of Yuan Shu's detailed arrangements in the army and Jiangdong?"
Zhu Zhi's expression did not change: "General, are you going to take this opportunity to stuff these people into the eight thousand soldiers and send them back to Yuan Shu?"
Sun Ce looked ruthless: "No, it's too advantageous for them."
"I want them all to be buried with Chen Bao!"
Zhu Zhi nodded: "I'll do it right away."
…
Three days later, Li Ye returned to Huainan to resume his duties.
Sun Ce's tense nerves finally relaxed.
At this time, he had time to recall everything that happened from sending Chen Bao to bring back his mother to the end.
Suddenly, he felt that it was too easy for him to agree to Yuan Shu!
No one used his mother as a threat, but he completely agreed to their requests.
what happened?
It seems like Li Ye hasn't even arrived yet, and he has been frightened!
In my mind, I was just thinking about choosing between Jiangdong's foundation and the lives of my mother and brother.
When Li Ye really came, he proposed a much smaller condition than Jiangdong Jiye, and then he felt that it was not a problem at all, so he agreed completely!
That's 8,000 soldiers, 100,000 shi of grain, and 5 million coins!
There was no haggling, just like worrying about the other party raising the price, I agreed immediately!
Because his mother and younger brother were held in each other's hands as meat tickets, he couldn't just pass them off as a good one and be shortchanged!
Hemorrhage!
What is the problem?
Sun Ce thought hard.
Finally, in the middle of the night, Sun Ce came up with an idea.
Zhang Zhao!
Didn't he talk a lot about it, why was he so worried about being recalled by Yuan Shu?
Isn’t it true that he doesn’t open and pick up any of the pots?
The atmosphere was all brought up by him!
Maybe a bargain could have been made!
Perhaps from the beginning, Yuan Shu didn't want to threaten him with his mother and brother!
He is a man of four generations, a noble family, and has a great reputation. How can he do such a dishonorable thing?
Couldn't it be that Yuan Shu was simply asking his subordinates in this name for money and food for soldiers and horses?
I have to associate these two things with one thing!
Being led by his rhythm, in the end it was all about scaring myself!
Depend on!
The more Sun Ce thought about it, the angrier he became, and he sat up straight away.
can not fall asleep!
Zhang Zhao! Zhang Zibu!
Why didn't I notice it before? This person is definitely a celebrity, but his bones are a bit soft!
Alas, no wonder Gong Jin said when he left, Zhang Zhao can take care of the inside, but not the outside!
Why didn’t I listen?
No, you have to write this sentence down and remind yourself all the time in the future.
Just as he was told, Sun Ce found a knife and pen in the middle of the night and carved a line of small words under his bed.
[If you are unsure about domestic affairs, ask Zhang Zhao; if you are unsure about foreign affairs, ask Zhou Yu]
After thinking about it, Sun Ce added another sentence below:
[Be clear about inside and outside, don’t mix questions]
After carving the small characters, Sun Ce lay on the couch again.
My heart is still bleeding!
If Gong Jin were here, things would never be like this!
Alas, another day of missing Gong Jin!
