Three Kingdoms: Jiuyuan Tiger

Chapter 474 Calling on Yuan Shu, sitting on the ground and raising the price

In fact, it was a wrong choice for Tao Qian to send Tao Ying to Xuzhou. No matter what price Tao Qian offered, Cao Cao would not accept his apology.

The choice between a basket of eggs and a hen that keeps laying eggs couldn't be easier.

After Tao Ying returned to Xuzhou, he immediately met Tao Qian. When he saw Tao Ying with a bruised nose and a swollen face, Tao Qian knew the result of his trip without Tao Ying asking.

Before Tao Ying, who was crying, cried to Tao Qian, Tao Qian drove him out of the room. This is the so-called "out of sight, out of mind".

As a result, it was already known that Tao Qian might as well spend his time dispatching troops and generals instead of listening to Tao Ying crying.

……

"My lord, Tao Qian's son, Tao Shang, is asking for an audience." Ji Ling clasped his hands.

"Oh? I have never had any contact with Tao Qian, why did his son ask to see him?" Yuan Shu asked in confusion.

Although the news of Cao Song's murder had spread in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, Yuan Shu didn't know the news because there was no intelligence system in place.

"The pottery merchant didn't explain why he came here, but he just said that he wanted to see the lord." Ji Ling replied.

"Then invite him in!" Yuan Shu ordered.

"No!" Ji Ling cupped his hands.

"Meet Yuan Gong!" The pottery merchant saluted respectfully.

"You don't need to be too polite, give me a seat!" Yuan Shu waved his hand.

"Thank you Yuan Gong!" The potter said with his hands clasped.

"You and I have never had any contact with each other. This time you came to visit me, you must go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Why come, just explain it directly!" Yuan Shu said straight to the point.

"Mr. Yuan is quick to speak, so I won't hide it. This is my father's handwriting and the list of gifts for you. Please read it!" The pottery merchant took out the handwriting and the list of gifts from his pocket and handed it to Ji Ling.

"Yo, brother Gong Zu is so generous!" Yuan Shu said with a smack of tongue after reading the list of gifts.

"There's a good saying, it's called being courteous or stealing. After all, I, Yuan Gonglu, are not the ones who receive rewards for nothing, so I'd better read what Brother Gongzu wrote in this letter!" Yuan Shu was very angry. Speaking of.

He didn't believe that Tao Qian would give him so many gifts for no reason. Tao Qian could only do this in one way, and that was to ask him for help.

"Mr. Yuan, please." The pottery merchant sneered, and cupped his hands at Yuan Shu.

After reading Tao Qian's handwriting, Yuan Shu sneered and said, "No wonder, Tao Gongzu offended Cao Aman!"

After hearing this, the pottery merchant cupped his hands and said: "Exactly! I also ask Mr. Yuan to lend a helping hand. After the matter is completed, my father will be rewarded generously!"

Yuan Shu smiled slightly: "Since I am friendly with brother Gongzu, this gang is settled! But I am powerless to send troops now."

After hearing Yuan Shu's words, the pottery merchant immediately understood the meaning of Yuan Shu's words, it was for the benefit!
Although the potter's ability is not very good, he comes from a family of officials and has been taught by famous teachers. After being influenced by his ears and eyes, he still understands this common sense.

"Please don't worry, Mr. Yuan. Before leaving, my father told me that as long as you can break the siege of Xuzhou, my father will offer you 20 stones of food and grass every year, which will never change until death! As for gold and silver and other vulgar objects, Yuan will give you a price." That is, as long as Xuzhou can afford it, my father will say nothing!" The potter said respectfully.

"20 grain and grass per year? Brother Gong Zu is really rich and powerful! Since brother Gong Zu is so sincere, then I won't hide it. I don't want gold and silver. I only need Xuzhou to supply 20 stone of grain and grass every year, plus a loan. Give me the Pengcheng Kingdom, and I will send troops to Xuzhou immediately!" Yuan Shu offered his price.

The pottery merchant was taken aback when he heard this, borrowing a piece of Peng Chengguo?But this borrowing, I am afraid that there is a borrowing but no repayment!

"Mr. Yuan, can you change the conditions? Pengcheng is next to Xiapi, and I really can't decide what to do about it." The potter clasped his hands.

"My conditions won't change. If you can't be the master, then go back and ask your father to be the master. Think about it, is it important for the Pengcheng country or the six counties of Xuzhou!" Yuan Shu sneered.

"Yuan Gong insists on this?" The potter's face was very ugly.

"That's right! Hurry up and report to Brother Gongzu, the Yanzhou soldiers will arrive in Xuzhou later, and you won't be able to enter even if you want to!" Yuan Shu's mouth was full of smiles.

"I hope Yuan Gong thinks twice!" The potter still made the last struggle.

"Needless to say, without Pengcheng Kingdom, I would not have sent a single soldier!" Yuan Shu said firmly.

"That's it, I'll take my leave!" The ashen-faced potter cupped his hands.

Immediately, the two broke up unhappy, and the potter who bid farewell to Yuan Shu rushed straight to Xiapi.

……

Youzhou, Ji County.

It was almost three o'clock at night, and Lu Bu was still working hard.

For a long time, Lv Bu was sweating profusely lying on the bed, the long-lost feeling of exhaustion filled Lv Bu's body, and soon Lv Bu fell into a drowsy sleep.

The blush on Diao Chan's cheeks on the side has not yet faded, and there is a satisfied and charming smile on the corner of her mouth.

There are poems:
When the hoe was on the day of the day, Khan dripped down the soil.

Everyone knows that the field is fertile, but who knows that the old cow is suffering.

……

The next day, while Lv Bu was in his study, Cao Shaoqin came to Lv Bu and said softly, "My lord, Tao Kan, the adopted son of Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou, asks to see you."

"Tell him to come in." Lu Bu put down the document in his hand.

"Meet the General!" Tao Kan saluted.

"Don't be too polite, just sit down and talk." Lu Bu ordered.

"Thank you, General!" Tao Kan cupped his hands.

"My father has admired the great general's reputation for a long time, but he has never had the chance to see him. This time, he specially sent a villain to visit the great general!" Tao Kan said respectfully.

Lu Bu didn't change his face after hearing this. Although he already knew Tao Kan's purpose, Tao Kan's words were indeed a bit hypocritical.

Fortunately, after so many years of training, Lu Bu has been able to master the skill of "talking to people, talking nonsense to hell".

"Brother Gongzu is too polite. The relationship between our two families has always been good, so there is no need to be so polite." Lu Bu smiled slightly.

Since you are hypocritically praising Lao Tzu, then Lao Tzu will give you a business bragging!
"General, this is my father's handwritten list of gifts for the emperor and you, please read it!" Tao Kan respectfully handed the things to Cao Shaoqin who was beside him.

After receiving the handwriting and gift list from Cao Shaoqin, Lu Bu did not open the gift list, but put it aside, and then opened Tao Qian's handwriting.

Seeing this, Tao Kan's face turned bitter. Could it be that the general already knew the news of Cao Song's murder?

"I really can't help you with this matter," Lu Bu said slowly.

"The general is in charge of the four states for the emperor, and his troops are strong and strong. Is there anything in this world that the general cannot interfere with?" Tao Kan put a high hat on Lu Bu calmly.

And Tao Kan's words are very interesting. He didn't say that Lu Bu was sitting in the land of the four states, but that Lu Bu was in charge of the land of the four states for the emperor. This Tao Kan is a smart man!
Although the two sentences do not differ by a few words, their meanings are quite different.
