Chapter 362: Liu Feng's anti-drug plan
Liu Feng doesn't know much about Jiaozhou. I only know that there is a person named Shi Xie, who has occupied Jiaozhou for decades and lived to be over 90 years old.
Jiaozhou is a land of Baiyue, and it is difficult for the Han people to survive.
In that year, Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, captured Jiaozhou with hundreds of thousands of Qin troops and established himself as the king of Nanyue. The prestige is so high that it is rare.
And it is rumored that this Shixie's prestige can compete with Zhao Tuo.
But perhaps because of his age, Shi Xie is surprisingly gentle. He never participated in the Central Plains War, so he is a figure that is easy to ignore.
And now this Shiyi, a person suspected of being from the Shixie clan, actually came to Jiangxia, which is very strange.
Still with elephants? Liu Feng's eyes flashed with some interest.
"Prepare the carriage and horses, and go to the city gate." Liu Feng commanded.
"No." The guards answered the order and immediately went down to prepare.
A moment later, Liu Feng got into the carriage and headed towards the east of the city, surrounded by dozens of guards.
The guard reported that it was a southerner, because Shiyi brought elephants, and elephants were mostly produced in Jiaozhou, so they were called southerners.
But in fact, Shiyi came from Jiangdong and entered through the East City Gate.
But at this moment, Shi Yi was not blocked at the gate of the city.
Outside the east city gate, the soldiers at the head of the city were like facing a great enemy, and countless soldiers aimed their arrows at the city, bending their bows to shoot.
Near the gate of the city, there was also a group of fifty soldiers, looking ahead.
In front of them stood an embarrassed and wry-smiling taxi.
That's right, it's a wry smile, maybe with some depression. After getting information from Sun Quan, Shi Yi was very happy to bring ten elephants and countless gold, silver and jewelry to Jiangxia.
Shiyi has lived in Jiaozhou for decades, and is very accustomed to such things as elephants entering the city. Moreover, he thought that these elephants were dedicated to Liu Feng.
Without thinking about it, he took the elephant into the city, but he didn't expect that the defenders of the city would not let him enter as if they were facing a great enemy.
Shi Yi had no choice but to order, and the animal trainers instructed the elephant to retreat slowly, and the carriage behind also retreated. Until he retreated to a safe place, Shi Yi ordered to rest in place first.
He tidied up his clothes and planned to meet Liu Feng.
Shi Yi held in Jiaozhou all the year round, and did not participate in the battle of the Central Plains. And the road is difficult to walk, and the news is blocked. There is a paucity of information from the outside.
When he went out of Jiaozhou, Shi Yi still thought that Jiangxia Taishou was still Huang Zu. Until he left Wuhou Mansion, Shi Yi still thought so.
But after inquiring along the way, Shi Yi didn't change to a Taishou until Jiangxia a year ago. Moreover, this Liu Feng also did a series of big things.
Defeat Zhou Yu, overturn Jiangdong, and defeat Cao Ren.
A series of victories made Shi Yi's heart tremble. What a strong man this is.
So Shi Yi raised the spirit of twelve points and made up his mind to deal with it carefully.
Just as Shi Yi was about to enter the city, a team appeared in front of him.
Dozens of fully armored guards, guarding a carriage like stars and moons, slowly walked towards this side.
From the quality of the guards, as well as the shape of the carriage, it can be seen whether a person's status is noble or not.
This team made Shi Yi's eyes shrink. He dared to conclude that the man in the carriage must have been a big man.
The slow carriage approached Shi Yi and the others, until they were more than ten steps away, and the carriage slowly stopped. A young man stepped out of it.
A man who is younger than Sun Quan, but his power is heavier than Sun Quan.
Shi Yi is not a person without eyesight, combined with what he saw and heard on the road, as well as his own speculation, Shi Yi can conclude that the person in front of him is Liu Feng.
"Jiaozhou Cangwu is too guarded, I have seen General Yang Wu." Shi Yi took a few steps forward and greeted Liu Feng.
At this moment, Liu Feng's mind had been firmly attracted by the ten elephants next to him.
Although the elephants look lazy, there are some animal trainers sitting on top of each elephant. But the oppressive feeling that comes with that huge size.
Liu Feng had no doubt about the destructive power of this elephant.
Destructive? Liu Feng's eyes lit up, what kind of situation would it be if these ten elephants were to be put on the battlefield.
Since it can be domesticated, it can go to war. Liu Feng does not doubt this.
As for whether it is a joke to get an elephant on the battlefield, Liu Feng does not doubt it, because some people in later generations have confirmed it. Elephants can indeed go to war, and the destructive power is huge.
Think about it, when the two armies face each other and drive the elephant forward, how great is the sense of oppression on the enemy army?
Liu Feng was a little excited in his heart. Until Shi Yi's words, Liu Feng was awakened.
"The old gentleman is polite." Liu Feng turned around and returned the salute to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi watched Liu Feng look at the elephant for a long time, and was happy in his heart, it's good to like this.
At this time, Liu Feng had completely withdrawn his gaze from the elephant. Raising his fist, he asked: "Lord Jiaozhou Thorn Shishi is elegant, I admire it." It's just that I've never met, and I have nothing to do with it. I wonder what the old gentleman is here with these elephants? ”
"Well, that's a long story. A few days ago, it was said that torrential rains continued to fall, and the floods in Jiaozhou were serious, and there was a shortage of food. So my brother sent me to Jiangdong to get grain, but there was no grain on Wu Hou's side, and when I was discouraged, Wu Hou instructed me to come to Jiangxia to buy grain. Shi Yi sighed.
Along the way, the elephant walked, the speed was very slow, and it traveled thousands of miles. Shi Yi felt that his old bones were about to fall apart.
Liu Feng frowned, Sun Quan? That guy will actually drive Shi Yi to Jiangxia, there must be some conspiracy.
While thinking about it, suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in Liu Feng's heart.
I couldn't help sneering in my heart, set me up?
In an instant, Liu Feng understood Sun Quan's poisonous plan.
The current situation is very delicate, Liu Bei has already raised his hand to surrender. And Jing Chu has Cai Mao in charge, and only Sun Quan is left.
That guy may be weak in his heart when he unilaterally starts a war with Jiangxia. But I can't bear to give up hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people.
At this time, Shi Yi came. And brought the news of the floods in Jiaozhou.
In Sun Quan's view, it may be a godsend. Because he has opened his mouth to Xinye and Jiangdong lions, according to common sense, he should also have a lion with Shiyi.
When the time came, Shi Yi was resentful, and Sun Quan lobbied again.
The two families joined forces, and the situation of attacking Jiangxia was formed.
Looting food? It's a shame that he came up with it.
Liu Fengneng asked Jingzhou for the city and land. It can ask for talents from Xinye, and it can ask for population from Jiangdong. But there will be absolutely no demand from Jiaozhou.
Because there is nothing in Jiaozhou.
City? It's too far. Population? Too little. Talent? Hardly. It was barren and did not produce food. There are hundreds of Yue people, there are no benefits, and there are a lot of troubles.
Moreover, Shixie is notoriously mild-mannered and will not send troops to the Central Plains. Such a character is not a competitive opponent.
At this moment, Liu Feng decided to put some food on the baggage. Of course, it is not unconditional, Liu Feng is not a bad person.
I heard that Jiaozhou is rich in gold, silver and jewelry. And these ten elephants. Looking at the elephant next to him, Liu Feng's eyes were hot.
After looking at it for a while, Liu Feng said with a smile: "I do have food, but does the old gentleman know what the price I offered to Sun Quan is?" ”
General Yang Wu said. Shi Yi said immediately. With a confident face, although the land in Jiaozhou is barren, all kinds of jewelry are Cheedo, and some are money.
"One and a half million stone of grain, in exchange for 600,000 people, and 200,000 catties of iron ore, and a handsome talent." Liu Feng ignored the shocking world and said with a smile.
"What....what?" Because of surprise, Shi Yi opened his mouth wide and said incredulously.
Although Shi Yi had already considered that food would be expensive, he never realized that it would be so expensive. 200,000 catties of iron ore, Jiaozhou has.
A handsome talent? If the generals in Jiaozhou are also handsome, there are.
But the key is the population of 600,000. The entire state of Jiaozhou may not have a population of 600,000 combined. Even if Jiaozhou asks for less grain, 200,000 stone is enough.
But even if the population of 600,000 is reduced by 10%, the population of 60,000 will not be able to be taken out by Jiaozhou.
"Hehe, does the old gentleman know about my grievances with Sun Quan?" Liu Feng suddenly asked.
"Know." Shi Yi was still surprised, but nodded and replied. Some don't understand why Liu Feng mentioned this at this time.
"Sun Quan and I are enemies, irretrievable enemies. Therefore, the price given to him was very high, so high that Sun Quan couldn't afford it. But Jiaozhou is different, and I have always admired the elegance of Shi Thorn History. Therefore, I am willing to sell some grain to Jiaozhou, and the price will be according to the market price. But I have some requirements. Liu Feng smiled slightly.
It's pie in the sky, it's just pie in the sky.
After listening to Liu Feng's price to Sun Quan, Shi Yi was already desperate. But I didn't expect Liu Feng to change his words, and he actually opened his mouth to sell Jiaozhou grain at the market price.
For a while, Shi Yi's heart was full of gratitude to Liu Feng.
"The general also said that as long as Jiaozhou can do it, he will definitely fulfill the general's requirements." Shi Yi said excitedly.
"These ten elephants are not enough, I want twenty." Liu Feng pointed to the ten elephants and said seriously.
I thought that this request should be very simple, but I didn't expect Shi Yi to show embarrassment on his face after listening to Liu Feng's words.
"What's wrong?" Liu Feng frowned and asked.
"Don't hide it from the general, these elephants are sacrificed by some remote Yi tribes, and there are not many in Jiaozhou. Unless you give me a few months, let me go back to the state, and let those Yi people send some more. Shi Yi said apologetically.
I thought that Shi Yi was not happy, so I listened to it first, but it was not enough storage.
Liu Feng's mood immediately improved, and he said with a smile: "There's no problem, you can transport the elephant here, just do it." ”
"The grain?" Seeing Liu Feng's smile, Shi Yi was overjoyed, but then hesitated.
"How much does Jiaozhou need?" Liu Feng asked with a smile.
"Two hundred thousand stones." Shi Yi said cautiously.
"We can gather tomorrow." Liu Feng laughed and said, I thought it would be much, but it turned out to be only 200,000 stones.
"Thank you, General, thank you, General." Shi Yi was grateful.
Looking at Shi Yi's grateful touch, Liu Feng felt relieved.
not only dismantled a conspiracy of Sun Quan, but also avoided fighting with Jiaozhou. I also got twenty elephants, as well as the friendship of Jiaozhou.
What's more, the grain is not given away for free, it is sold to Jiaozhou at the market price.
No loss at all.
It's just that Sun Quan actually calculated him. Liu Feng's eyes flashed a bit of gloom. People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, small fish meat, and I dare to jump.
Look for death.
