Chapter 937: The deal is made, ready to drag its feet
Chapter 937 The deal is made, ready to drag its feet
When Zhang Yu appeared, he took the lead and asked Cao Cao to call the prince.
This Cao Cao also wants to be the king, after all, there are already so many people who have been called kings, and there is no problem for him to be king.
Zhang Yu and Yuan Shao are both kings, and he is not lost to the two, and he is no longer worthy of his status if he is not king.
But before Cao Cao could deal with it, he didn't have time to claim the throne yet.
"King Bohai, that's right, then call you King Bohai." Cao Cao shouted twice and then said: "Prime Minister Ben knows that you don't want me to get Jizhou, but Prime Minister Ben wants to know why you suddenly made trouble and didn't even negotiate." ”
Cao Cao asked very bluntly, he deeply understood that communicating with Zhang Yu was useless to make so many false things, and Zhang Yu sometimes didn't care about face.
"Haha, I originally wanted to negotiate, but then I didn't want to." Zhang Yu laughed twice, then became serious and said: "This king does not accept threats, and tries in vain to let Sun Ce come to put pressure on me, this king is not afraid, isn't it war, my army has never been afraid." ”
Cao Cao was surprised that it was his own arrangement that caused Zhang Yu to react so violently.
However, Cao Cao did not regret it, and he was completely right to do so.
"Lord Wang, now this king wants to renegotiate with you, I don't know how?" Cao Cao said.
"Cao Mengde, it's not a good time to negotiate with me now, you have to wait to be slaughtered."
The two didn't use any false tricks, so they negotiated in the vernacular.
"If you put forward any conditions, you can accept them, and if you can't accept them, you can go back and continue fighting." Cao Cao said.
Cao Cao felt that he was not a hero, but a businessman, and he was talking about business with Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu knew that he couldn't play any conspiracy to play with others, and it was best to come and go directly.
"Haha, it's easy to say, this king is greedy, so naturally he wants money and land, territory, Jizhou just cedes two counties to me, and you can go to the rest of the places yourself, and the other is a matter of money." Zhang Yu said.
Giving up two counties, this Bohai County was defeated by itself, and it is still its own fiefdom, which is no longer counted.
The expression on Cao Cao's face did not change, and he said, "Okay, I'll go back and study it, and I'll give you an accurate answer within two days." ”
"Yes, but until an agreement is reached, this king will not stop." Zhang Yu said.
"Feel free, this prime minister won't be afraid of you." Cao Cao said.
Cao Cao is indeed at a disadvantage, but there is not enough food and grass, otherwise he would directly start a war with Zhang Yu on both sides.
The two-front battle seems to be very dangerous, but in fact, it is not, Zhang Yu will not fight him at this time.
Cao Cao had a big deal to fight Zhang Yu first, and then attack Jizhou after he stabilized the situation.
It's a big deal to recover and come back after you have stocked up on food and grass.
Judging from the number of troops, this Cao Cao will not be much worse than Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu's power is strong, but too scattered.
The two didn't talk much and left directly.
Cao Cao's face changed when he went back, and he didn't look like he was chatting with Zhang Yu easily.
Cao Cao didn't expect Zhang Yu to be so "strong", and he used Sun Ce to put pressure on him, which resulted in such a fierce counterattack from Zhang Yu.
originally thought that he knew enough about Zhang Yu, but at this time, Cao Cao felt that he didn't know enough about Zhang Yu, and Zhang Yu was sometimes not mercenary.
"Father." Cao Ang personally brought 30,000 soldiers and horses to meet Cao Cao, and when he saw him return, he hurriedly greeted him.
Cao Cao explained to Cao Ang and the others the reason for Zhang Yu's sudden violent reaction, and everyone was also very speechless.
Everyone didn't expect Zhang Yu to be in such a situation.
After Cao Cao went back, he called Cao Ang, Xun You and Jia Xu.
"Zhang Yu wants two counties, this can be given, but it also costs money, it may be a lot, if you can take Jizhou, you can accept it, I'm afraid that Zhang Yu will have more troubles." Cao Cao said.
Two counties, anyway, they are counties that they can't get, so what if they are given to Zhang Yu.
Money, you can give it, compared with the military expenses paid, this is nothing, Jizhou's wealth can be made up for soon.
But if it is said that Jizhou can be obtained in this way, Cao Cao will do it immediately.
"Is there a solution?"
The three of them all thought about it, and they couldn't be wronged.
Zhang Yu is well-known for being credited, but he is also very good at exploiting loopholes.
Cao Cao felt that he didn't have much time to buy.
"Lord, we should negotiate, even if we can buy a month, it is enough for us to adjust our strategy, not the entire Jizhou, but also a few more counties." Xun You said.
Cao Cao nodded, then looked at Jia Xu, allowing Jia Xu to express his opinion.
Jia Xu pondered for a while before saying: "Lord, Zhang Yu's recovery time is getting shorter and shorter, and if we want to compete with him in the future, we must also have the strength to recover quickly." ”
"The subordinates suggested that we negotiate with Zhang Yu, take the opportunity to take a few more rich counties, enhance our recovery ability, and vigorously develop our own territory, otherwise we will not be able to compete for Zhang Yu."
After hearing this, Cao Cao made a decision, and he was ready to negotiate on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was ready to attack.
Of course, just to prepare the army, he will definitely not dare to move until the results are out.
After thinking about it for two days, Cao Cao wrote a letter to Zhang Yu, asking Zhang Yu to attack the two counties by himself, Cao Cao would not interfere, but he would not help him fight.
In addition, you can give Zhang Yu 20 million dollars, and this money is sent, without any name.
Cao Cao couldn't give compensation, give military expenses, he didn't lose, it was just a transaction.
Zhang Yu immediately said that he could do it after receiving the letter, but there was a disagreement with other conditions on the time limit.
Cao Cao asked Zhang Yu not to cross several places within half a year, and not to attack his own territory for no reason.
"Half a year? It will take me up to three months to adjust. Zhang Yu directly rejected Cao Cao's conditions.
After some tugging, Cao Cao was reduced by another two months.
These Zhang Yu saw something.
"Heh, what is the bottom line of this Cao Cao? How much time can you take? Zhang Yu didn't know what Cao Cao's plans were.
Two counties, plus Bohai County, Zhang Yu can occupy three counties in Jizhou, plus 20 million dollars, in fact, Zhang Yu is acceptable, even if it takes half a year.
"Heh, four months is four months, and when the money arrives, I have a way to fix you." Zhang Yu accepted Cao Cao's conditions.
For four months, he would not attack the rest of Jizhou, and he would not attack Cao Cao's territory, unless Cao Cao made a move against him first.
A few days later, the two sides reached terms.
Cao Cao happily gave money.
"Cao Mengde, with me holding you back, you can also rest and take the whole Jizhou."
Now Jizhou is not without a little strength, they still have a lot of cities to defend, and the Yuan brothers are also united.
Cao Cao personally urged Zhang Yu to complete the deal, and then hurried to the front line, preparing to quickly capture Jizhou.
"If you can win Yecheng, this deal is worth it." Cao Cao thought to himself.
