"Mr. Qin, what does this mean?"
Happiness came so suddenly that Zhang Nan couldn't believe it and could only confirm it with Liu Zhang again.
"That's what it means."
Hearing Liu Zhang's confirmation, Zhang Nan forcibly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart.
"Mr. Qin, what do you need Zhang Nan to do for you?"
"Is there something wrong with your brain that you can't understand what I'm saying?"
There was a trace of disgust in Liu Zhang's eyes. Why did Zhang Nan act like a retarded person?
"If there's something wrong with your brain, get out of here and don't ruin Gu's big business!"
"No no no!"
Zhang Nan waved his hands repeatedly, fearing that Liu Zhang would not use him.
"Mr. Qin, I am willing to send the big-eared thief as an envoy for Duke Qin. I need to talk to him in exchange for the conditions!"
How is this a condition for survival? What is the difference between this and letting Zhang Nan go directly?
I thought this was shocking enough.
But Zhang Nan never expected that what shocked him was yet to come!
Liu Zhang chuckled a few times, then shook his head.
"No, I don't need you to talk to me. I just want you to inform the big-eared thief."
"If you want to return Xu Shu, Guan Yu and other generals as well as the more than 10,000 captured soldiers, let Zhuge Liang come and talk in person."
Zhang Nan couldn't believe his ears and looked at Liu Zhang in surprise again.
"Mr. Qin, just...that's it?"
"That's right. As for letting you go, that's just the sincerity of the big-eared thief!"
Zhang Nan looked at Liu Zhang nervously, and after confirming that there was no teasing, he immediately surrendered.
"Thank you very much Duke Qin for your life!"
"Zhang Nan will never forget Duke Qin's kindness. When he returns home, he will spend his days and nights..."
"OK OK!"
Liu Zhang interrupted Zhang Nan impatiently. He didn't want to hear these useless nonsense.
Zhang Nan quickly shut up and kowtowed in thanks.
"May I ask Mr. Qin, what are the conditions for getting these people back?"
"Does Duke Qin want food, grass, money or...?"
Liu Zhang had no time to think and said two words directly.
"People!"
"People?"
Zhang Nan really didn't expect that Liu Zhang would want someone!
Since they need people, what's the point of sending these soldiers back?
However, Zhang Nan did not dare to ask this, for fear of angering Liu Zhang.
"I don't know how many people Duke Qin plans to ask for, so I can report to the big-eared thief!"
Listening to Zhang Nan shouting like a big-eared thief, Liu Zhang felt quite happy, and he also showed a look of satisfaction at the moment.
"Xu Shu and Guan Yu are commanders-in-chief. If we want to redeem them, each of them needs 100,000 people."
"Liao Hua, Fu Kuang and other generals, if we want to redeem them, we will need a hundred thousand people in total."
"In addition to the more than 10,000 soldiers, we also need 100,000 civilians."
"In total, we need 400,000 people."
Zhang Nan was dumbfounded and almost dropped his jaw.
Four hundred thousand people, wasn't Liu Zhang kidding?
How many people were there under Liu Bei's rule?
If you give it to Liu Zhang, wouldn't your vitality be severely damaged?
Liu Zhang chuckled several times, his conditions were not finished yet!
"Listen, these people must treat their families as a unit."
"From the elderly to the children, otherwise it won't count."
Zhang Nan's heart twitched. He had just thought about asking Liu Bei to give the old, weak, sick and disabled to Liu Zhang, but Liu Zhang nipped the problem in the cradle in advance.
Taking the family as a unit means that there is no possibility of defection for these people!
400,000 people, at least 40,000 young men!
Zhang Nan couldn't imagine how furious Liu Bei would be after hearing this request.
At this moment, Zhang Nan suddenly thought of a question.
Isn't Xu Shu Liu Zhang's spy? Why is it still within the terms of exchange?
Seeing Liu Zhang's proud and cunning smile, Zhang Nan understood everything in an instant.
No wonder Liu Zhang asked Zhuge Liang to negotiate!
He just put forward a condition that Liu Bei couldn't accept and asked Zhuge Liang to come to negotiate.
After much discussion, we could only give up part of it.
That way Liu Zhang could easily exchange for Xu Shu's family!
Zhang Nan really admired his resourcefulness and wanted to brag about himself immediately.
Isn't the strategy used by Liu Zhang exactly the same as the strategy he used to raise demands on Liu Zhang first?
"Mr. Qin, I will definitely live up to Gong Qin's high expectations and let the big-eared thief surrender his population obediently!"
Zhang Nan bowed down again and made a vow to Liu Zhang.
Anyway, it’s just empty talk now, and you don’t need to take any risks or take any responsibility when you speak!
As long as he returns to Jiangling, what can Liu Zhang do to him?
"Haha, just you?"
It's a pity that Zhang Nan didn't make a good plan.
Liu Zhang's unwavering determination was not praised by Liu Zhang, but instead he was ridiculed with disdain.
"A loser like you, what qualifications do you have for Gu to trust you?"
"There's no need to talk nonsense here. I don't have any expectations from you. I just need to bring the words to you!"
Zhang Nan's face turned red when he heard this, and he was ashamed and angry.
Since becoming a general, have you ever been humiliated like this?
But when Zhang Nan saw Liu Zhang's eyes, he had no desire to refute.
I couldn't even muster the courage to ask Liu Zhang for an explanation in the future.
At this moment, Zhang Nan finally knew why Liu Zhang compared him to a fart, and why he let him go like a fart!
Waste, naked waste!
"I obey..."
After Zhang Nan accepted the order, he didn't say another word.
Too many words lead to mistakes, and no matter how much you say, you will be insulted more.
Rather than doing this, it is better to leave Yiling and return to Jiangling as soon as possible.
As long as he brings back the news of Xu Shu's rebellion, Zhang Nan will be able to reach the sky in one step!
Then Liu Zhang didn't say another word and waved his hand impatiently.
Just as Zhang Nan wanted to leave as soon as possible, Liu Zhang showed that he didn't want to see Zhang Nan anymore.
"Take care, Mr. Qin, I'll take my leave..."
After thinking about it, Zhang Nan still bowed to Liu Zhang before leaving. The etiquette was extremely thorough.
Unfortunately, he didn't get any response from Liu Zhang, so he was taken away by soldiers who appeared behind him at an unknown time.
After a while, there was no movement at all, and the soldiers brought by Zhang Nan quickly walked to Liu Zhang.
"Mr. Qin, this loser should have heard everything."
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded, extremely satisfied with this arrangement.
"Zidu, you did a good job!"
"Mr. Qin is so complimentary!"
The true identity of this soldier is Meng Da, a general under Liu Zhang.
From intimidating Zhang Nan into a duel with Feng Xi, to bringing Zhang Nan to give him the opportunity to eavesdrop, everything was Liu Zhang's plan.
And Meng Da is the protagonist of this scene!
"Zidu, immediately send people to the place Zhang Nan said to transport the grain and grass back to Gu!"
"Mr. Qin, do you really believe what he said?"
Meng Da was a little confused. According to the strategy, shouldn't everything Zhang Nan say be correct by default?
"Haha, this Nan is not as simple as you think!"
"He deliberately told the real location where the food was hidden, and then he was observing Gu's reaction."
"Haha, there is some cleverness, but it is far from elegant!"
"Gu deliberately showed that he already knew about it, which made him more convinced about Xu Shu!"
Meng Da suddenly understood, his eyes filled with admiration.
"Qin Gong is wise!"
