After entering the city, Guan Yu was immediately imprisoned.
Completely lost the treatment of staying with Liu Zhang.
For Guan Yu, this is fine, as he will save himself from being verbally humiliated all the time.
Next, you can wait with peace of mind. When Liu Zhang and Liu Bei have reached an agreement, they can naturally return to Jingzhou.
However, Guan Yu was still worried and did not think that negotiation was an easy matter.
Take the previous war horse as an example.
Liu Zhang demanded six million stones of grain and grass for two thousand horses.
For one Jiang Wan, Liu Zhang donated a thousand war horses, which is equivalent to one Jiang Wan and three million stones of grain and grass.
But in Guan Yu's heart, who does Jiang Wan mean?
Just a nobody!
Guan Yu felt that no matter how bad he was, he could at least be equal to a hundred Jiang Wan!
As the mastermind and commander, Xu Shu independently commanded and defeated Cai Mao and completely captured Nanjun.
It must be worth fifty Jiang Wan after all, right?
The remaining Liao Hua, Fu Kuang and others, plus the thousands of captured soldiers, counted fifty Jiang Wan.
This is equivalent to two hundred Jiang Wan!
But Jiang Wan, an unknown person, is worth three million stones of food and grass!
Two hundred Jiang Wan, wouldn't it cost 120 million stones, grain and grass?
Even if the entire Jingzhou was used for farming, it would take at least ten years without food or water!
Liu Zhang personally said that he did not want food and grass. Not only did this not reassure Guan Yu, but it also made his liver and gallbladder split.
Not wanting food and grass does not mean not asking Liu Bei to pay the price!
With Liu Zhang's greed, he would definitely want something worth as much as 120 million stones, grain and grass.
Guan Yu couldn't help but have a splitting headache when he thought of this terrifying number.
What an astonishing price it would cost for these captives in Yiling City to return to Jingzhou. . .
In fact, Guan Yu's worries are completely unfounded. He can't participate in these at all, so he might as well rest well.
Just waiting in peace in Yiling, the two sides discussed it and naturally let him go.
For example, Liu Zhang at this moment focused all his energy on the person in front of him.
As for Guan Yu, he completely forgot about it.
"Xu Yuanzhi?"
The person in front of me is Xu Shu.
A person with a relatively controversial history.
In Zhuge Liang's view, Xu Shu was a talent comparable to him.
But after surrendering to Cao Cao, he was only a talented person in a county.
Cao Cao, who was a meritocracy, did not entrust Xu Shu with important responsibilities, which seemed to indicate some problems.
"Greetings to Duke Qin, please forgive Xu Shu for not being able to salute."
Xu Shu was very polite, but his whole body was bound by ropes and he could not move freely.
As for tying Xu Shu into rice dumplings, Huang Zhong strongly requested it.
Liu Zhang had no objection. Even if Huang Zhong didn't say anything, he would still order Xu Shu to be tied up.
Xu Shu was a knight-errant in his youth, just like Gan Ning in his youth.
He is proficient in swordsmanship and good at close combat. If he lets his hands and feet loose, accidents will inevitably happen.
Liu Zhang neither wanted to have an accident happen to himself, nor did he want to give Xu Shu a chance.
After all, Xu Shu's worth can bring him a lot of benefits!
"Yuan Zhi doesn't need to be polite."
Xu Shu looked at the rope on his body, and then looked at Liu Zhang with a half-smile.
"Is this how Duke Qin treats guests?"
"Guest? Hehehe..."
These words directly made Liu Zhang laugh.
"Mr. Xu still thinks he is a guest?"
Faced with Liu Zhang's ridicule, Xu Shu remained calm.
"Haha, I heard that Duke Qin is very thirsty for talents, please treat the virtuous corporal! When I saw him today, it seems that the rumor... is wrong!"
"Xu Yuanzhi, don't you understand the meaning of the word prisoner? Do you need me to explain it to you?"
Looking at Liu Zhang's unwavering eyes, the relaxed look on Xu Shu's face gradually faded.
This also means that his long-thought-out strategy is about to fail.
"Could it be that Xu Shu couldn't get into Duke Qin's eyes?"
Xu Shu still refused to give up and tried his best to arouse Liu Zhang's greed for him.
He assisted Liu Qi in conquering Jingnan, helped Liu Bei seize Jingnan, and defeated Cai Mao to completely occupy Nanjun.
Xu Shu felt that although his achievements were not world-famous, they were enough to be taken seriously.
What's more, Liu Zhang has a reputation for being eager to seek talents, and he even issued an order to seek talents!
"Mr. Xu, please save yourself and don't make a pointless struggle."
"Let you go, do you think you can beat me alone?"
"I tied you up for your own good!"
Liu Zhang's words struck Xu Shu's heart directly, causing the latter's expression to change suddenly.
Xu Shu's clever plan, which he had been planning all night, completely failed.
"Xu Shu has fully realized Duke Qin's talent today..."
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded. At least in terms of consciousness, Xu Shu was better than Guan Yu.
"The way is higher and the devil is higher! I would like to advise Mr. Xu not to think about meaningless things."
"Lest it harm yourself!"
Xu Shu was surprised by Liu Zhang's words, and then couldn't help but ask,
"Then is Duke Qin a Taoist or a demon?"
Liu Zhang glanced at Xu Shu helplessly. Just after he finished speaking to him, he was being clever again.
"Whether it's Tao or demon, these are all determined by the winner."
"In future history books, it will only be recorded that Liu Bei is a rebel, and you, Xu Shu, are a traitor who betrayed the Han Dynasty."
Xu Shu was speechless again. Liu Zhang was far more difficult than he imagined!
"How did Duke Qin discover the concubine's plan?"
"It's simple, because I know you as well as I know myself!"
Liu Zhang's eyes flickered, which actually made Xu Shu feel guilty.
That look seems to really penetrate people's hearts!
"I'm just a mediocre person. I didn't expect to receive Qin Gong's attention. I'm really honored!"
Liu Zhang didn't pay attention to Xu Shu's eccentric temperament and took Quan's words as a good word.
"Mr. Xu is a filial man and is willing to give up his life for his mother. I deeply admire him."
"Now that Mr. Xu's mother is still in Changsha, how can Mr. Xu surrender?"
Xu Shu sighed softly, completely heartbroken.
My mother is Xu Shu’s only lifeline.
Liu Zhang grasped this point and finally took Xu Shu under control.
"Qin Gong clearly shows that I am willing to die!"
For a prisoner of Xu Shu's level, it was nothing more than surrender or death.
Xu Shu would never surrender, and Liu Zhang would not believe it either.
Instead of doing this, it is better to die generously and leave a good reputation!
Liu Zhang looked sideways, Xu Shu's determination to die was really not just talk.
"The sky and the earth are torn apart, and the fire is about to perish. The building is about to collapse, and a tree cannot be supported. There is a wise man in the valley, who wants to surrender to the Ming Lord. The Ming Lord seeks the wise man, but he doesn't know me."
Xu Shu's eyes were wide open, filled with fear.
"This...how did Mr. Qin know?"
This poem is Xu Shu's lament that he had great talent but no one to turn to when he was assisting Liu Qi.
From the time it was made until now, Xu Shu has not mentioned it to anyone.
Even Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had no idea.
Unexpectedly, I learned about it from Liu Zhang today!
Liu Zhang chuckled, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
"Mr. Xu, there are still many things you don't know!"
