Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 817 Conditions
Huainan, Shouchun, is the base camp of the prince Yuan Shu.

Although Yuan Shu only had the three prefectures of Anfeng, Lujiang (Jiangbei Lujiang), and Huainan, it was located between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River under its rule, and had the Huaihe River Basin, the hinterland of the Yangtze River Delta, and Chaohu Lake, one of the five great lake systems.The four seasons are distinct, the climate is mild, the products are rich, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles away.

Although there are only three counties, their wealth is still higher than that of Cao Yuan, Liu Lu and others.

It is recorded in the book: Yuan Shu was furious, so he worshiped Zhang Xun as a general, commanded an army of more than [-], and conquered Xuzhou in seven ways, which shows that he has many soldiers.

There is also a record: Cao Cao's 17 troops attacked Yuan Shu, and borrowed [-] grains from Sun Ce, but in the end all he could eat was Xiaohu.At this time, Yuan Shu was defeated, but he still left an army of [-] to guard Shouchun, and brought thousands of vehicles with him to Huainan to avoid Cao Cao's edge. It can be seen that Yuan Shu had sufficient money and food.

Yuan Shu often has the intention of annexing the Central Plains, but he spends his days drinking and drinking, enjoying luxury and beauties, and doesn't know what's going on outside the palace.

On this day, Yuan Shu was fighting with several 'goblins' in the room, when a call came from outside.

At least half an hour later, Yuan Shu came to the conference hall wrapped in clothes, and said dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter?"

Wenwu under his command looked at the bright sun outside, and was speechless, thinking that this was the prostitution recorded in the book during the day.

In fact, today is a regular meeting, obviously Yuan Shu forgot.

To say that Yuan Shu has many subordinates, Yan Xiang, Yang Hong, Ji Ling, Liu Xun, Chen Ji, Chen Lan, Han Yin, Lei Bo, Le Jiu, Li Feng, Liu Xun, Liang Gang, Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun , all today.

The master Bo Yanxiang came out and said, "My lord, Yuan Zong sent an urgent letter."

Yuan Shu took it over and took a closer look, then fell into deep thought.He hadn't buttoned up his clothes yet, when a gust of wind blew, his whole body trembled, and he said, "You all have a look."

Afterwards, everyone on Yuan Shu's side knew the contents of the letter.

Adviser Yang Hong came out and said, "My lord, what Yuan Zong said is also reasonable. Our place is far away from Qin Feng's territory. This time, Yuan Benchu ​​made it clear that he wanted to kill Qin Feng. But Qin Feng was defeated, and the territory probably belonged to Yuan Shao. Yes. Maybe Cao Mengde will benefit from Qin Feng's defeat, but my lord will definitely not benefit at all."

"Whether Yuan Shao or Cao Cao annexes Qin Feng, if they take the opportunity to become bigger, they will become another Qin Feng, which is very detrimental to the Lord."

When Yuan Shu heard this, he remembered that when he was in Luoyang in the early years, Yuan Shao suppressed him in every way.But the elders in the family all supported Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao sat in a high-ranking official of General Wei all the way, while Yuan Shu was a low-ranking official.

Yuan Shu nodded, and said, "We must never sit back and watch Yuan Benchu ​​grow bigger. What do you think?"

Yang Hong said: "My lord's products are abundant, and Qin Feng produces a lot of medicinal materials. It's useless to keep it. It's better to sell it to Qin Feng at a cheaper price. It can also weaken Qin Feng's power and prevent Yuan Shao from becoming bigger. Because of this, Qin Feng and Yuan Shao kept fighting, so we have a chance."

Yuan Shu wanted to think for himself. He agreed to lower the price and sent an envoy to tell Yuan Yin, the representative ahead.

on the other hand.

Liu Biao also held a meeting after receiving the letter from Iraq.

In the hall, Liu Biao wanted to show his age, and after a while of silence, he closed his eyes and fell asleep involuntarily.

Kuai Liang, Han Song, Wang Can, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Wen Pin and others were all sitting below, watching their lord start to doze off, and everyone sighed.

In fact, the gentry in Jingzhou were extremely dissatisfied with Liu Biao's ruling in the past few years, especially Liu Biao, in order to please Qin Feng, beheaded Kuai Yue who had suggested words before the expedition to Rome.

Kuai Liang looked at the dozing Liu Biao and said nothing.

Han Song called out, "My lord, my lord?"

"Huh?" Liu Biao opened his eyes and wiped his mouth hastily, "What's the matter?"

Everyone looked unnatural for a while, Wen Pin hurriedly said: "My lord, now that Sun Ce's [-] troops are overwhelming, General Jiangxia Huangzu is in a hurry..."

Liu Biao's expression changed. He always wanted to spend his old age peacefully, but he just couldn't achieve this ideal. Here, Sun Ce came to mess with him again.Since returning from the expedition, Liu Biao's troops have dropped sharply.Instead, it was Sun Ce who closely followed Qin Feng's footsteps and avoided the defeat of Ephesus.His master gave him part of the property from selling the land in Rome, and Jiangdong's power rose completely.

Liu Biao felt pressured, so he cheered up and asked everyone, "Do you think Sun Ce really knows how to fight, or is he just trying to deal with his master?"

Wen Pin said urgently: "My lord, Sun Ce's army is already preparing to cross the river, how could he be false?"

Cai Mao said: "My lord, Sun Ce listens to his master the most, and my subordinates think he is serious this time. What's more, you ordered Huang Zu to assassinate Sun Jian back then. You don't know how to kill your father."

Liu Biao became a little annoyed. At first, he thought that killing Sun Jian would sweep Jiangdong, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to rise up and be stronger than his father.

"Report..." At this moment, a disgraced spy ran in and shouted, "My lord, something is wrong. General Huang Zu lost in the water battle. Sun Ce has already started to attack Jiangxia City with his army."

Liu Biao couldn't take it anymore. He was old and only wanted to spend his old age in peace. On the one hand, he dispatched Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and Wen Pin to lead an army of [-] to support him, and ordered the four counties in Jingnan to send troops to help.

He finally thought about it again, and said: "Then let's lower the price, but there is an additional condition, that is, let Qin Zijin order his apprentice Sun Wukong to retreat."

Kuai Liang, who had been silent all this time, said calmly at this time: "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

There were many people watching Liu Biao, and said: "You can't see it, Sun Ce is filial. As the saying goes, one day is a teacher and one life is a father. Sun Ce's father died early..."

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Shanghe Port in the northwest of Jinan, Qingzhou.

Qin Feng's side.

Qin Feng's special envoys, Jia Xu and Pang Tong, were sitting in the hall all day, turning their fingers and meditating.

At this time, Wei Yan walked in happily and said, "Two military advisors, Yuan Shu's representative Yuan Yin is here to visit."

Jia Xu and Pang Tong, who were in deep thought, also cheered up, and Pang Tong said: "Then General Wei Yan and I will take refuge for a while."

So, after a while, Jia Xu met Yuan Yin in the conference hall.

After haggling for a while, Yuan Yin glared, "Ten times, this is already the bottom line. In addition, you should be the first to trade with us. All 15 catties can be shipped here tomorrow, and we can trade today."

Old Jia Xu nodded and said, "I also have an additional condition here, the medicinal materials from Jiangdong need to pass through the border safely from Mr. Yuan."

"It's not a problem at all." Yuan Yin said.

Old Jia Xu was delighted. Sun Ce had 20 jin, plus the 20 jin from Ma Teng and Cao Cao, plus 15 jin from Yuan Shu. 100 catties of the need of 55 million catties have been met.He stood up and said, "Since that's the case, all the food and grass we prepared will be assembled in Pingyuan County on the opposite bank. After tomorrow's meeting, we can start trading."

After sending Yuan Yin away, Yi Ji, Liu Biao's representative, came, and this time it was Pang Tong.

Liu Biao, the plenipotentiary representative of Yiji, set the final price at ten times, and there was an additional condition, which was to ask Sun Ce to retreat.

Regarding Sun Ce's retreat, Pang Tong did not dare to decide for himself, so he immediately reported to Qin Feng.

There was news after one night, and Qin Feng didn't care about it.

In the early morning, Yiji was very dissatisfied when he got the news, and he walked away saying: "Obviously, the prime minister treats one more than another and helps his apprentice, so this deal is over."

Pang Tong was secretly anxious. Qin Feng did not let Sun Ce really attack Jingzhou. Sun Ce's real move now is obviously to avenge the murder of his father.Regardless of Qin Feng's reason, Pang Tong can guess some of it.However, if the deal with Liu Biao cannot be completed because of this, and only Yuan Shu's family is completed, it will be difficult to defeat Yuan Shao's plot.

"What can we do!" Pang Tong was anxious, seeing that Yi Ji had already walked out.
