Zhuge Liang's feather fan shook lightly, looking at Sima Yi, his eyes were full of scrutiny, and then he chuckled and said: "I know everything about your intentions, let's talk about it, what is Cao Cao's sincerity?" ”

Sima Yi arched his hand and said: "Duke Wei is willing to exchange 30,000 stones of grain and grass for General Xiahou!" ”

"Hahaha!" Zhuge Liang laughed when he heard this: "Xiahou Yuanhu Buguan right, he is a first-class general under Cao Cao, not a brother but better than a brother, such a character is only worth 30,000 stones, grain and grass?" ”

Sima Yi, as the top wise man in the world, also has arrogance in his heart, at this moment he has not faced Zhuge Liang head-on, and he is not as jealous and afraid of Zhuge Liang as the Northern Expedition.

But at this moment, Sima Yi is on a mission, and if he can't save Xiahou Yuan, he will be punished, so Sima Yi has no choice but to bow to Zhuge Liang: "Then ask Mr. Kong Ming to make a price!" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and talked eloquently: "100,000 stone grain and grass, 10,000 excellent war horses!" Salt 3,000 stones! ”

Liu Bei sat on the main seat and looked at Sima Yi without saying a word.

A kind of civil and military in the hall also looked lively, or hugged his chest, or looked at Sima Yi playfully.

Listening to the price proposed by Zhuge Liang, although Sima Yi's face was as usual, he couldn't wait to scold his mother in his heart.

There are so many things, it's really a lion's mouth.

100,000 stone grain and grass!

One stone of grain weighs sixty pounds.

If a soldier is not engaged in heavy physical labor, he needs to consume at least two catties of grain a day, and if he is engaged in heavy physical labor, he needs to consume more than three catties of grain a day.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if a soldier eats a little less, one stone of grain is only enough for a soldier to eat for a month. 100,000 stone of grain is enough for 100,000 generals to eat for a month.

Zhuge Liang wants Cao Cao to provide him with grain and grass.

There are also 10,000 war horses, Zhuge Liang is seeing the seams, knowing that Budugen will lead the cavalry to help, so he put forward such a request, if these 10,000 war horses are given to Liu Bei, wouldn't this allow Liu Bei to be able to form cavalry?

The same is true for salt, there is a shortage of salt in Shu, and if this salt is given to Liu Bei, it will greatly alleviate the problem of insufficient salt in Shu.

Facing Zhuge Liang's lion's big mouth, Sima Yi naturally would not agree, he chuckled: "Mr. Kong Ming really dares to speak, I won't hide it from you, War Horse, it belongs to the Xianbei leader Budugen, not my lord, and salt, Yongliang salt wells are not much, three thousand stones of salt, can't be raised at all."

As for grain and grass, 30,000 stone of grain and grass is what our army can take out at present, and 100,000 stone of grain and grass have to be transported from the rear, and our army's hundreds of thousands of troops also have to eat grain, so they have to be squeezed out little by little, and it will take at least three months to get together.

Now that Duke Wei has planned to withdraw after changing back to General Xiahou, 100,000 stone grain and grass is only enough for 100,000 troops to eat for a month, and Mr. Kong Ming has to wait for three months for this to be enough for 100,000 troops to eat grain and grass for a month. ”

Sima Yi's meaning was obviously to ridicule Zhuge Liang for not being able to settle accounts and doing a loss-making business.

When the generals heard this, their faces were a little ugly.

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth, but he was ridiculed by Sima Yi and couldn't settle accounts?

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said: "If you lose your money, you will lose your capital, if you can't get together 100,000 stone grain and grass and war horse salt, then don't want my lord to let Xiahou Yuan go, it's a big deal, drag it out, see who can drag whom, when the time comes, your grain and grass can't be maintained, I'm afraid it won't be as simple as Xiahou Yuan being captured." ”

When His Royal Highness Wei Yan heard this, he immediately gained confidence, looked at Sima Yi and said, "That is, my lord has Hanzhong, and he can afford to spend only three months of grain and grass!" I just don't know if Cao Cao can afford it! ”

Sima Yi took a deep breath, and then realized that Zhuge Liang was not as easy to deal with as he imagined.

Sima Yi pondered for a while, and said: "It's better than this, how about my lord willing to give up Wudu County and exchange Wudu County for General Xiahou?" ”

"This ......" When Liu Bei heard this, he was a little moved.

It must be worth exchanging Xiahou Yuan for a Wudu County.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and chuckled: "Sima Zhongda, you have a good idea, it's just a matter of deceiving others, how can you deceive me?" If Cao Cao withdraws his troops, he will definitely abandon Wudu and shrink his forces to re-fortify in the Qishan area.

If he doesn't withdraw his troops and still garrison Wudu, my lord will just enter the land of Longxi in one go. Aren't you joking that you use this land that my lord will get in exchange for Xiahou Yuan? ”

Hearing Zhuge Liang's words, Liu Bei patted his thigh and secretly said confused, if it weren't for Zhuge Liang, he would have agreed.

Sima Yi gritted his teeth and said: "50,000 stones of grain and grass, 3,000 war horses, and 500 stones of salt, you can't get out more." ”

"No way!" Zhuge Liang shook his head and rejected Sima Yi's proposal: "You must give it according to what I say, if you can't get it, then continue to consume it!" ”

Hearing this, Sima Yi's face became a little ugly.

Sima Yi has no eloquence, saying that he can't say that Zhuge Liang is unparalleled, plus Zhuge Liang is resourceful, and the pit set up by Sima Yi can't deceive him, and the oil and salt don't enter, it's really tricky!

At this moment, a soldier walked into the camp with a letter in his hand: "Enlighten the lord, Chengdu is urgent!" ”

"Didn't the brutes retreat? Why is there an urgent report? Liu Bei frowned and hurriedly took the letter.

As early as half a month ago, Liu Bei received the news that Liu Chan had pacified the barbarian soldiers, and he also agreed with Liu Chan's approach without any changes.

Now that Liu Chan has sent another letter, Liu Bei thought that something had happened in Chengdu again.

Hearing this, a trace of doubt flashed in Sima Yi's eyes, could it be that he didn't become a barbarian soldier and returned?

Liu Bei looked at the letter, and his worried face faded.

Gradually, a trace of remembrance flashed on his face.

Liu Bei remembered Xu Shu.

Because Liu Chan's letter reminded Liu Bei to exchange Xiahou Yuan for Xu Shu and Xun Yu's family.

"Strategist, take a look!" After being silent for a while, Liu Bei silently handed the letter to Sima Yi.

Zhuge Liang took the letter suspiciously, read it, turned his head and glanced at Liu Bei again, and saw Liu Bei nodded, Zhuge Liang suddenly understood.

Liu Bei wanted to exchange Xiahou Yuan for Xu Shu.

In exchange for Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang naturally had no objections.

For Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang can't understand it, the characters who will enter the phase are his classmates and friends, if Xu Shu can come back to work for Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang will naturally raise his hands in favor.

As for Xun Yu's family, Zhuge Liang also decided to fight for Liu Chan.

Liu Chan's proposal to exchange Xun Yu's family is also out of filial piety, and Zhuge Liang will not object.

Zhuge Liang sorted out his thoughts, and then said to Sima Yi: "Sima Zhongda, you said earlier that you said 50,000 stones of grain and grass, 3,000 war horses, and 500 stones of salt, I can agree, but I still need Cao Cao to give me a few people!" ”
