"Oh? Please tell me, King Qin. I will do my best."
Gu Yong is not stupid, and he is not so mentally retarded that he agrees without even listening.
The joy and excitement are true, but they are not carried away.
"Haha, it's very simple!"
Liu Zhang showed a strange smile.
"We just need Sun Quan to show some sincerity and make a guarantee!"
"If Sun Quan keeps his promise, after annihilating Cao Cao, I can return it in full. Otherwise, I will withhold it."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yong breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that I just want some benefits!
This point was mentioned to Sun Quan long before Gu Yong came.
It can be said that Gu Yong has a lot of room to bargain with Liu Zhang.
Whether it's money, food, luggage, treasures, etc., everything can be discussed.
Even if it means asking a few Sun descendants to be hostages, that's not a bad idea!
In short, put the overall situation first!
However, Gu Yong, who was very narrow-minded, would not agree easily, but showed a hint of embarrassment.
"King Qin, the two alliances should trust each other! Aren't you putting me in trouble?"
After a pause, Gu Yong waved his hand.
"Forget it, if Gu Yong dares to be brave today, he will become Wu Gong's master for once!"
"King Qin, please tell me what you want to guarantee. As long as it's not too much, I will make my own decision and agree to King Qin!"
"In order to eliminate Cao Cao's thieves and promote the alliance between Qin and Wu, even if he is cut to pieces by Duke Wu after returning to Jiangdong, he will die without complaint!"
Liu Zhang suppressed the smile in his heart and showed his admiration.
"As expected of Yuan Tan, Gao Yi!"
"The King of Qin has rewarded you, please tell me!"
"Okay, then I won't beat around the bush!"
Liu Zhang grinned, showing his white teeth.
"If you want Gu to trust Sun Quan, you have to use Yuzhang County as a guarantee. By the way, you have divided Yuzhang into two counties, right?"
"The most important thing is the Yuzhang County planned by the Han Dynasty!"
"What!"
Gu Yong exclaimed, his eyes almost popping out.
Liu Zhang really dared to say this!
The entire Yuzhang County is now Yuzhang County plus Luling County!
There are only ten counties in Jiangdong. Liu Zhang wants to leave two of them with just one mouthful?
Not to mention that Gu Yong couldn't agree, even if he agreed, Sun Quan couldn't agree.
This is a request that will definitely be rejected without asking for permission at all.
"King Qin, isn't this a matter of forcing others to do something difficult?"
"Before, when the King of Qin took Jiangxia County, Duke Wu said nothing. Now that he wants two more counties, how can Duke Wu agree?"
Liu Zhang was not angry and still smiled in response.
"Haha, Jiangxia County belongs to Jingzhou, so he should be under Gu's rule."
"Besides, was Jiangxia County given to me by Sun Quan? I won it entirely with my own strength!"
Gu Yong looked embarrassed, with some pleading in his eyes.
"Prince Qin, can you change the conditions? This is really difficult for someone to do!"
"If you don't agree, forget it."
Liu Zhang spread his hands indifferently.
"With Gu's military strength, it's easy to capture Yuzhang! If Sun Quan gives it, Nagu will stop at Yuzhang. If Sun Quan doesn't give it, Nagu can take advantage of the opportunity to capture Danyang County, Wu County, and Kuaiji County!"
"When the time comes, just don't regret it, Sun Quan."
Half of Gu Yong's face was twitching, and he really couldn't do anything about the threat.
It's not that I'm worried that I can't withstand the Qin army's attack, but I'm just worried that it won't trigger a war between the two armies.
After taking a breath, Gu Yong decided to change his mind.
Be tough!
"King Qin, don't act impulsively!"
"I wonder if the King of Qin knows that Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang secretly attacked Yuzhang in the past, and what was the final result?"
"Didn't you flee in a panic and almost die tragically in Yuzhang?"
"Whether it is more serious or less important, please ask the King of Qin to think about it..."
"Be bold!"
Pang Tong on the side scolded angrily.
"Who does Liu Bei mean? Is he worthy of being compared with King Qin?"
"Gu Yong, have you forgotten that Liu, Guan, Zhang and Zhuge Liang have become withered bones in the grave?"
He turned around and asked Liu Zhang for orders.
"King Qin, I will personally lead the troops eastward and learn about the strength of their Jiangdong Army!"
"Commander Pang, calm down!"
Gu Yong knew that Pang Tong did it on purpose, but he had no choice but to compromise.
"Commander Pang, that's not what I mean!"
"OK OK."
Liu Zhang pulled Gu Yong back.
"Yuan Tan, this is the condition. It's up to you whether I agree or not."
"No, King Qin, this matter is really non-negotiable!"
Gu Yong suddenly broke out in sweat on his forehead and couldn't wipe it away no matter how hard he wiped it off.
Things changed too quickly.
Who could bear to fall from the sky to the ground in such a short time?
At this moment, a soldier walked in hurriedly.
"Report to the King of Qin and the envoy of the State of Wei..."
"Ahem!"
Liu Zhang coughed lightly and glared at the soldier fiercely.
"Damn it, didn't you see there's a guest here? What's the matter? Just wait!"
"Forgive me, King Qin!"
The soldiers immediately retreated without stopping for a moment.
However, the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Gu Yong's ears were particularly long, and he listened to everything the soldiers said.
"King Qin, could it be that Cao Cao sent an envoy?"
Liu Zhang smiled and shook his head.
"No way? How is it possible?"
Then, he looked at Pang Tong doubtfully.
"Shi Yuan, did Cao Cao send someone?"
Pang Tong also looked puzzled.
"No, I haven't heard of it."
Gu Yong looked suspicious and pointed to the location where the soldiers left.
"That's when he said..."
"Oh, you heard wrong!"
How can Gu Yong believe it?
The soldier said three words, "Wei State Envoy."
Is it possible that I could hear even three words wrong?
"Prince Qin, you..."
"Okay Yuan Tan, I still have something important to do, so I won't entertain you."
Liu Zhang didn't give Gu Yong another chance to speak, and pushed him out.
"Anyway, I've told you the conditions. It's up to you whether you agree or not."
"Prince Qin, I..."
Gu Yong still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Liu Zhang.
"stop!"
"Yuan Tan, if I am willing to believe in Sun Quan, it is for your sake."
"Don't expect to be tolerant anymore. No matter how lenient you are, it's the same tolerance you showed Sun Quan himself after taking Yangzhou!"
Gu Yong sighed softly and gave up the fight.
He could see it already and words couldn't shake it.
"King Qin, after I go back next time, I will discuss it carefully with Duke Wu and try to meet King Qin's requirements!"
Liu Zhang smiled and nodded.
"Well, no problem. I believe in Yuan Tan's ability."
"It's just that Gu can't wait indefinitely. Just one month."
"One month, if Sun Quan agrees, Yuan Tan will make another trip."
"After a month, if there is no news, then Gu will automatically think that Sun Quan rejected Gu's proposal."
Gu Yong nodded helplessly.
There is nothing I can do now but agree.
"I will definitely bring King Qin's words to you."
Liu Zhang smiled and patted Gu Yong on the shoulder.
"Yuan Tan, if Sun Quan doesn't agree, you should be on guard this month!"
"Thank you, King Qin. I'll take my leave!"
Gu Yong handed over his hands and left. After taking two steps, he came back.
"Within one month, please ask King Qin not to agree to other requests from others..."
"Don't worry!"
