Seeing Jian Yong's expression, Tai Shici knew that this might be Liu Bei's bottom line, even if it wasn't, it was about the same.

Tai Shici thought for a while, so he said as a difficult answer: "Okay, then when will your army withdraw, and how will the two sides hand over?" ”

Seeing Tai Shici's question, Jian Yong knew that the goal had been achieved, and said with a slight sigh of relief in his heart: "Seven days, seven days later, the general will lead the army to come with food, and then the two sides will hand over." ”

Liu Bei took the initiative to send someone to visit, Tai Shici was not afraid of any conspiracy and tricks he had, because he had a certain strength, but out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask.

"Uncle Liu Huang gave up the two counties, I don't know where I want to go in the future, although my lord and Uncle Huang have a bad relationship, but if Uncle Huang has no way to go, Ci can also say a few good words."

Since Liu Bei suddenly lost power, Jian Yong has seen a lot of faces, although Tai Shici said that he was bargaining with him just now, but it is also touching to be able to say this at this time.

Jian Yong thought for a while and said: "It's not a secret, my lord has a countermeasure, and General Tai Shici's kindness is only afraid that he will be disappointed, but this word, Yonghui will bring it back as it is." ”

Tai Shici nodded and said, "Okay, since Uncle Huang has a choice, I won't say much, but what I just said will be effective for a long time." ”

Jian Yong bowed, got up and said, "General Tai Shici is kind, Yong knows it in his heart. ”

After the two discussed, Jian Yong hurried back to Beihai and explained to Liu Bei.

At this time, Mi Zhu, who went to Cao Cao's place, also reached an agreement and rushed back non-stop, but Cao Cao's request was doubled from the original.

Liu Bei got a reply from both sides, and immediately gathered his henchmen to prepare to implement the plan.

Liu Bei was wearing a formal suit, sitting in a handsome position, looking at the few henchmen, and said slowly: "Xuzhou was taken away, and the fault of the preparation has nothing to do with you. ”

"You can follow thousands of miles away, I am very moved, and I have summoned you here today to announce that I am waiting for the future."

"Bei has discussed with Tai Shici to exchange the two counties for some grain, but this grain is far from enough, so it has to be collected from the two counties."

"Chen Dao, from now on, you obey the constitution and arrangements, and no matter what the order, you must not oppose it."

Hearing this, Chen Zhi hugged his fists and said, "Yes, don't worry, the lord must remember." ”

"yes, okay." Liu Bei nodded and said: "Zizhong, all women, from now on, will be under your control, and after the army sets off, it will be arranged in the middle of the army." ”

Mi Zhu arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the lord will definitely protect the family." ”

Liu Bei said: "Okay, the rest of the generals, the whole army is on standby, no matter what happens, without an order, you must not go out, otherwise they will be beheaded." ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

……

Listening to the neat answer, Liu Bei was slightly satisfied, and then said: "Okay, civil officials of all ministries, from now on, count the grain, and tell the people that those who are willing to leave with them can be prepared to ensure that they are well prepared all the way until they settle down." ”

Liu Bei gave this order, but he wanted to take the people away, but he was aimless all the way, and how many people could follow, everyone knew in their hearts.

But since Liu Bei issued the order, no matter how difficult it was, they had to do it.

As soon as Liu Bei made the arrangement, he ordered his subordinates to go back to prepare, leaving Jian and Mi by himself, and began to plot again.

There are some things that can't be said in front of everyone at all, and at this time, there are only two people left, and Liu Bei is not hiding it.

Liu Bei asked the guards to empty the people a hundred meters away from the tent, and then he said: "Zizhong, Xianhe, you are both Bei's henchmen, and there are some things that I won't hide from you." ”

"There is no food at the moment, it is a big deal, and there is nothing to be done, so I can only do it on the people."

The people of the two counties had been plundered by Chun Yuqiong's army, but now that Liu Bei is here, he undoubtedly wants their lives, and there will be turmoil.

And this approach is also contrary to the benevolence that Liu Bei has always shown, so it can be seen that Liu Bei is really helpless, or his nature is exposed.

After listening to this, Mi Zhu said anxiously: "Lord, this matter must not be done, if you do this, you will lose the foundation of your life." ”

Liu Bei said helplessly: "Now that there are 50,000 recruits and veterans, whether there is a foundation or not, if we don't prepare enough food, I'm afraid that before we meet with the military division, we will become dry bones." ”

Hearing this, Mi Zhu was anxious to open his mouth, but he moved his mouth, but he didn't say it.

Originally, he wanted Liu Bei to be disarmed, but Liu Bei had just recruited new soldiers, and he would definitely not agree to this proposal, but in addition to disarmament, there was no good way.

Seeing Mi Zhu's disappointed expression, Liu Bei's eyes were slightly red and said, "I don't want to be prepared, but the current situation is like this, so I have to make this decision." ”

"But Bei will not do anything to the common people, but will only clean up those bullies and families who are abusive with the helpers, Zizhong can rest assured."

Hearing Liu Bei's assurance, Mi Zhu nodded helplessly and said: "Okay, since the lord has decided, Zhu will obey, but this matter must not be reported." ”

Liu Bei just wanted to shed tears and said: "This is natural, there is a plan for the early stage, Xianhe will be with Chen when the time comes, and when the day after tomorrow, clean up all the lawbreakers in the city, and confiscate the family property." ”

Jian Yong arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Yong will definitely do it properly, and never let a thief escape." ”

"Hmm." Liu Bei nodded and said: "Okay, the food is solved, then the rest is the matter of borrowing the Tao, although Cao Cao said that he agreed, but he couldn't help but take precautions, do you have a good suggestion?" ”

Jian Yong thought for a while and said: "Well, the lord's consideration is not unreasonable, if Cao Cao suddenly repents, I am afraid that there will be a risk of being besieged." ”

"It's better to send someone to get in touch with the military division first, let the three generals lead the troops to respond, and force Cao Cao not to dare to make a move."

Liu Bei thought for a while and said: "This method is really good, but I still have an idea, that is, to contribute five thousand strong to His Majesty, ask for an edict, and break Cao Cao's crooked thoughts." ”

Provide Liu Xie with 5,000 soldiers and horses in exchange for a holy decree that they don't know if it is useless, which makes the two of them puzzled.

Mi Zhu asked curiously: "Lord, I'm afraid this method is inappropriate, in case it angers Cao Cao, I'm afraid that it will be a big mistake." ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "No, Cao Cao will not be angry with this method, because Liu Xie is not in his eyes at all, and doing this is also indirectly telling Cao Cao that we have made the greatest concessions, and if we still want to start, then only the fish will die." ”

"The real enemy in Cao Cao's eyes is Li Huiyi, if Tai Shici occupies two counties, he will not dare to fight to the death with our army."

Liu Bei's ability to figure out human nature can be said to be the pinnacle, and he guesses Cao Cao's thoughts clearly, which is also Liu Bei's ability to settle down in troubled times.

Liu Bei's words were reasonable and orderly, and Mi Zhu no longer objected, and the three of them continued to discuss some details, and left after a few hours.
