The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 566

Under normal circumstances, political negotiations are often extremely reserved, or even elicited, and no one will express their demands so straightforwardly as soon as they come up.

Just like now, even if the battle ahead is swaying and the chances of victory are in your hands, if you, Guo Jia, want to recruit Zang Ba, it is impossible for you to use such an aggressive, even threatening tone.

But the fact is that Guo Jia not only did this, but even expressed it even more excessively.

So after Guo Jia said this, there was another wave of silence.

Looking at Guo Jia with a threatening face, Zang Ba was so mad that he fell into a dilemma for a while.

This man is sick!
How could it be so simple and rude!

Even if you want to surrender, you should give some time to think about it!
Because Guo Jia's performance was so successful, Zang Ba now fully believes that Xuzhou will be the winner of this war.As a result, he was full of thoughts about whether to submit to Liu Bei, and when is the best time to submit.

As for Yuan Shao, he was no longer considered.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, Jia Xu stood up and smiled again: "Why is Feng Xiao so aggressive? Some people think that the lord loves talents after all, why don't you give General Zang some time to think about it?"

"No." Guo Jia shook his head and said firmly, "Since the beginning of the war between Xuzhou and Yuan Thief, the lord sent you here to lobby, and it has been more than two months now. Is such a long time not enough for General Zang to consider?

Now that Yuan thief is about to lose, if General Zang is still so ignorant of current affairs, no matter how much my lord loves talents, it will be difficult for him to tolerate him. "

Hearing this, the faces of Zang Ba and the others turned ugly again.

Jia Xu looked at Zang Ba's face, then smiled again: "Feng Xiao, you just arrived here today, and it's impossible to return to Xuzhou immediately, why don't you give General Zang three or five days to think about it, after all, it's such a big deal, it's not worth it. A decision may be made at this moment."

Zang Ba also said: "That's right, I would like to ask Marquis Guo to give you a few more days to allow me to discuss with the soldiers under my command!"

It's not that Zang Ba is afraid, but that he just wants to fool around tonight. After all, no matter how rude Guo Jia is in the current situation, Zang Ba doesn't dare to break his face with him.

"Since General Zang said so, I am not an unreasonable person. Anyway, I will give the general three more days to think about it. After three days, no matter whether it is successful or not, the general will always give a certain answer, so I can go to my lord. .”

Speaking of this, Guo Jia suddenly sneered: "However, I believe that the general is a smart man, so please don't make mistakes! Excuse me!"

After saying this, Guo Jia raised his hand and drank the wine in the glass, and left the table on the spot.

"Guo Fengxiao is too rude to be a son of man!"

After Guo Jia left, Yin Li couldn't restrain the anger in his heart any longer, and cursed loudly, but was immediately glared at by Zang Ba.

Although Guo Fengxiao is gone, Jia Wenhe is still here, are you stupid!

Looking at Jia Xu again, after Guo Jia got up and left the table, he continued to eat and drink with a smile on his face, as if nothing happened just now.

Zang Ba cupped his hands at Jia Xu, and apologized for Yin Li's words just now: "A certain subordinate is full of rough people, and their words are not thoughtful, which made me laugh. In addition, I would like to thank you for coming forward to save the siege."

Although he knew that Jia Xu and Guo Jia were in the same group, he still had to talk about the scene.

Surrender is always a big matter, because it is related to one's own wealth and life, not to mention that he has soldiers, generals and territory, so how can he easily bow his head.Therefore, according to Zang Ba's prediction, it will take a long time for this matter to be successfully completed.

Why pull?
Of course it's for bargaining!

If you, Liu Bei, don't offer enough price, who will work for you?
If I'm really in a hurry, even if I can't beat you, I can go north and join Liu Yu or Gongsun Zan.With tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under him as bargaining chips, anyone has to treat him as the guest of honor.

Throughout ancient and modern times, the reason why all negotiations have reached a deadlock is not because the price has not been agreed.

In short, pay more!
But Guo Jia not only didn't add money, he didn't even plan to give money, who could bear it!

It is naturally impossible for Zang Ba to go to war with Liu Bei, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.But Guo Jia was too aggressive, so Zang Ba wanted to get close to Jia Xu and test Xuzhou's bottom line.

He didn't believe that Xuzhou would really be so decisive and push himself into the arms of other princes.

"General, why should you be polite, Guo Fengxiao's words were really too much just now." Jia Xu laughed, "It's just that he is favored by my lord on weekdays, and he has made meritorious service in this battle, but a certain one is just an ordinary person, and he speaks lightly... Please, General Forgive me."

The implication is that Guo Jia is the favorite of Xuzhou's group, and he is also a person who is trusted by the protagonist Liu Bei. Even if he wants to help you, he is powerless.

"Understood, understood." Zang Ba laughed quickly, "However, I don't understand the meaning of Guo Hou's words, and Mr. Lao can explain it more clearly."

Make a price, you should make a price!
It's not really a white wolf with empty gloves!

Jia Xu smiled, took a sip of the wine in his hand, and then said slowly: "Although I am a subject of Xuzhou, but thanks to the general's hospitality these days, I still have some good words to share. To blame."

"Mister is serious, please speak."

"The general thinks that he is better than Yuan Benchu?"

"This..." Zang Ba said with a wry smile, "Yuan Benchu's four generations and three princes have responded to everyone, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. Of course, there is no comparison."

"Good advice, general! But now that even Yuan Benchu ​​has been defeated by my lord, is there any other way for the general to go?" Jia Xu laughed, "Of course, the general can go north and go to Youzhou, but my lord is determined to help the big man." , Sweeping the world, General Beitou is just a temporary peace."

We will definitely take down the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty one by one, and you Zang Ba will not be able to escape no matter where you go.

Hearing this, Zang Ba's face turned ashen for a while, and the light in his eyes dimmed a lot.

Zang Ba wanted Jia Xu to make an offer, but Jia Xu obviously analyzed the situation and directly extinguished the fire that was waiting for a price in Zang Ba's heart.

The price will definitely be given to you, but there is no room for you to bargain!
Seeing that Zang Ba was awake, Jia Xu continued to laugh and said: "But if the general returns to Xuzhou at this time, my lord will not treat the general badly."

Hearing this, Zang Ba's face softened a little, and he said, "I don't know how Taiwei Liu plans to arrange us?"

"I believe that fame must be won on the battlefield." Jia Xu glanced at Zang Ba and the other three, and said slowly, "When my lord recovered Taishan County, the generals did not help each other. Later, when my lord launched an army to attack the national traitor Dong Zhuo, the general Again, he was indifferent. Now that my lord is attacking Yuan Benchu, the general is still waiting for the price, which is a bit inappropriate.

And the most important thing is that the general had spontaneously recruited the brave guards of the village to secure the people, without the permission of the imperial court, which is a bit difficult to handle. "

To put it bluntly, it is called spontaneously recruiting local braves;

Even Zhang Yan knew that he wanted to show respect to the court, and then he took the official position of a general in the midst of a difficult situation, at least he was well established.

As for you, Zang Ba, although you obtained the official position of a cavalry captain with Tao Qian in the conquest of the Yellow Turban in the early years, but later you captured the prefectures privately. What is the difference between this and occupying mountains as king?
"That's why I believe that the general should not look forward and backward at this time, but show his own value." Jia Xu stroked his beard with a smile, "As the saying goes, those who save themselves will always be saved by others; those who love themselves will always be loved by others. If the general has no merit How can my lord treat the general courteously, and how can he be convinced by all the proud soldiers in Xuzhou?"

Got it, when it comes to this, Zang Ba has completely understood what Jia Xu meant!
I chose to be a fool before, but now I have to pay the price.

Otherwise, the price you can get will be very low, or you can go to someone else!
Zang Ba naturally refused to use his soldiers and horses to help Xuzhou fight, but there was no other way out at the moment, Zang Ba couldn't help frowning for a while, and fell into deep thought.

On the one hand, he put aside his own small abacus and completely used it for Liu Bei.

On the other side, they defected to other princes.

Is this deal worthwhile...

Seeing that Zang Ba was in a dilemma, Jia Xu was not in a hurry to urge him, but instead said lightly: "A few months ago, when our Xuzhou army took a detour to capture Jizhou, General Zhang Yan surrendered, and led his army out to help our army besiege Yecheng. My lord was overjoyed upon hearing this, and said that after the victory in this battle, he would present General Zhang as a marquis..."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

After hearing the words, Zang Ba suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with shock.

Anyone can see that this is a world of great controversy, and there may only be one winner in the end.Zang Ba asked himself if he didn't have the talent to win the world, so he could only choose to place a bet.

Well, then take a gamble!
Thinking of this, Zang Ba no longer had any hesitation in his eyes, and said to Jia Xu, "I don't know what order Liu Taiwei has?"

Jia Xu smiled, and slowly spit out two words: "Qingzhou."
