For this idea, Mi Zhu's eyes lit up, as long as they converged with Zhang Fei, then their strength, in the eyes of any prince, is a powerful helper, Liu Bei's own weight can also be improved, and there are naturally more choices.

But by Cao Cao's way, he always wants to get benefits, as the so-called no profit is not early.

Mi Zhu thought for a while and said: "This method is feasible, so I don't know the lord, what are you willing to exchange?" ”

Now that it is floating without roots, what else can be taken out, Liu Bei thought for a long time, and said bitterly: "Five thousand soldiers and horses, how?" ”

Take out 5,000 soldiers and horses and borrow a road, this is completely profitable, Cao Cao should agree.

Mi Zhu arched his hand and said: "Without further ado, if the lord is at ease, he can hand over this matter to Zhu, and Zhu will definitely complete it as soon as possible." ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Okay, then it's hard work, I'm waiting for your good news." ”

Mi Zhu received the order and left immediately, preparing to send Cao Cao's affairs to the meeting.

Seeing this, Jian Yong took a few steps forward and whispered: "Lord, is it just like this for nothing, Yuan Shao, Xuzhou has been in business for several years, and it has cost the lord countless efforts." ”

Jian Yong has been Liu Bei's playmate since childhood, and the two also know each other, so he knows that Liu Bei will not be willing to swallow this bitter fruit.

Liu Bei said with a gloomy face: "Since Yuan Shao wants Xuzhou, what does it matter to him, it depends on whether he has the ability to defend it." ”

Jian Yong was shocked in his heart, this is Liu Bei's expression of wanting to be bad since he was a child, but he was afraid that he had already thought of some poisonous plan.

Jian Yong asked carefully: "What does the lord mean, how to do it?" ”

Liu Bei waved his hand to let Jian Yong approach, whispered softly in his ear, and added: "Remember, when the matter is handed over, send someone to inform you." ”

Jian Yong was already shocked at this time, and after a moment's relief, he asked, "Lord, if you do this, I'm afraid that you will lose the hearts of the people." ”

Liu Bei sneered: "Since they look down on me Liu Bei, then I will show them, this matter should be as secret as possible, and if someone knows, they will be killed." ”

Glancing at Liu Bei, Jian Yong knew that things couldn't be changed, so he gave up and turned around to leave.

Seeing Jian Yong leaving, Liu Bei gritted his teeth and said, "Yuan Shao, I won't let you have a good time, it's a big deal to cheapen others......"

Liu Bei lost Xuzhou here, and on the surface, he knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, but actually began to prepare poisonous strategies.

Jian Yong got an explanation and went to Qingzhou to discuss the handover with the guards Chun Yuqiong, Feng Ji and others.

Knowing that Jian Yong had arrived, Chun Yuqiong and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they no longer had to worry that Liu Bei would tear their faces, regardless of the attack.

In order to complete the handover as soon as possible, Chun Yuqiong convened the personnel as soon as possible and met with Jian Yong.

There was no banquet, no warm welcome, there was a dull atmosphere, and when Jian Yong arrived, Chun Yuqiong said: "Don't talk much, when will Liu Bei take over Qingzhou?" ”

Chun Yuqiong has been an official for many years, and his self-esteem is too high, so he doesn't take Liu Bei in his eyes at all, and now that Yuan Shao is in charge of the overall situation, he even calls Liu Bei his name.

Although Jian Yong was angry, he was on the disadvantaged side at the moment, and he didn't pay much attention to it. "When you withdraw, Uncle Huang will settle in."

"Okay." Chun Yuqiong nodded and said: "I'm bored here, just give it to Liu Bei, three days later, the two armies will change their guards, if you miss the hour, there will be no next chance." ”

"Okay." In the face of such unequal negotiations, Jian Yong didn't want to say anything at all, and when the agreed time was set, he got up and left, not even bothering to perfunctory basic etiquette.

After discussing it here, Chun Yuqiong and others also began to move the grain and grass materials in the treasury of the two counties according to the instructions given.

He then informed the family that if they were willing to leave, they would be properly arranged, which allowed a group of families to follow and leave, leaving less than a tenth of the speculators.

This trick is obviously not to let Liu Bei have a chance to grow.

After the handover between the two sides was completed, Liu Bei looked at the deserted two counties, with a weird smile on his face, and was not angry and had a bad relationship with Chun Yuqiong and others.

Stationed in the two counties, Liu Bei let the army rest and stand by, and at the same time sent Chen Zhi to collect grain and grass on the grounds of centralized military management.

When encountering opponents, Liu Bei was not embarrassed, and let them go, as if there was nothing to do about it.

Liu Bei's benevolent act made the progress of collecting grain and grass difficult, but he was not discouraged and continued to do it.

Before the collection of grain and grass was finished, Liu Bei began to issue a recruitment order, and each family was selected according to one of the five heads of the family, and was forced to enlist in the army.

This move made the already panicked people start to think about fleeing, but Liu Bei had already prepared for it, and those who moved with their family property were not allowed to go.

And those who gave up their possessions and fled for their lives did turn a blind eye and let them go.

Under Liu Bei's disregard, the security of the two counties, which were already desolate, was even more chaotic, with fights and thefts increasing, and the people's lives could not be guaranteed even to the most basic.

And all this news, without Liu Bei deliberately concealing it, also spread to various places.

Tai Shici, who has been eyeing the two counties, also began to prepare a large army, waiting for the opportunity to take the two counties at any time.

On this day, Tai Shici was dealing with military affairs, and suddenly someone came to report, saying that Liu Bei had sent an envoy Jian Yong to discuss important matters.

The two sides have no contact again, and now the sudden visit makes Tai Shici curious about his intentions, but he has arrived, and he always wants to see each other.

Tai Shi Ci adjusted his clothes a little and ordered someone to invite Jian Yong.

As soon as the two sides met, Jian Yong straightforwardly explained his intentions, it turned out that Liu Bei wanted to exchange two counties for 3,000 stone grain and grass.

For Tai Shici, he can still call the shots, but Liu Bei's current situation, he also knows it, and he naturally has to press it.

Tai Shi Ci smiled and said: "At present, the two counties are already in chaos, I am afraid that if I take over, I will have to spend a lot of effort, I am afraid it is not worth three thousand stones." ”

By now, he was already a fish on the chopping board, and Jian Yong knew that he didn't have many options, but he could fight for a little more.

Jian Yong arched his hand and said: "General Tai Shici, if the two counties want to attack with great effort, the casualties will be no less than nearly 10,000, is it possible that the lives of nearly 10,000 people are not worth 3,000 stone of grain?" ”

Tai Shi Ci waved his hand and said: "The soldiers of the headquarters are priceless, but with the current situation of the two counties, I am afraid that it will not take much strength, and it can be easily taken." ”

What Tai Shici said is not unreasonable, with Liu Jun's current morale, he is afraid that he will not be defeated for a long time.

But knowing this, Jian Yong can't compromise easily, otherwise Tai Shi Ci will have to make inches, and it will be even more difficult to end.

Jian Yong's face was serious and said: "Since this is the case, Yong will take a step back, two thousand five hundred stones, and it can't be less, otherwise Yong can only go back and report it, and let my lord break the cauldron and fight." ”
