Three Kingdoms start to kill Guan Yu

Chapter 640 A letter in exchange for [-] shi of grain

"Mr. Yuanlong, there is news from Lu Bu that he wants to join forces with us to deal with Cao Cao.

After the matter is completed, Taishan County will be given to Xuzhou.

I don't know Mr. Yuanlong, what advice do you have for this?
I'm not sure about this matter, and I want to ask Mr. Yuanlong for some advice. "

Chen Deng came to see Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was very respectful to Chen Deng.

Go outside to meet Chen Deng in person.

After arriving at home, he was even more respectful, without the slightest neglect.

Not to mention anything else, Liu Bei's etiquette in dealing with people is really hard to pick.

Even in history, because Liu Bei used oxtails, he personally wove things for Zhuge Liang and gave them to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang solemnly advised him not to repeat this old problem in the future. It seems that Liu Bei did not do things properly.

In fact, he did it extremely well.

At least Zhuge Liang remembered all his kindness.

The effect he wanted has also been achieved.

After hearing what happened from Liu Bei, Chen Deng didn't speak for a while.

He bowed his head here in thought.

After doing this for a while, Chen Deng looked at Liu Bei and said, "I heard that Uncle Liu Huang is preparing to build water conservancy recently, to make efforts for the possible drought.

Want to fight against drought and disaster relief. "

Liu Bei nodded upon hearing this, "It is true."

Chen Deng said: "Since this is the case, then the emperor will continue to do this, and don't fight or kill.

It is not a simple matter to build water conservancy.

It takes a lot of hard work.

It also needs to mobilize a lot of materials, and there must be no sloppy.

This matter is the foundation of all generations. Once it is completed, it will be of great benefit for at least ten years.

It's something worth taking seriously. "

Hearing what Chen Deng said, Liu Bei already knew what Chen Deng meant.

He nodded and said: "With Mr. Yuan Long's words, I have a bottom line."

In fact, Liu Bei also thought so in his heart, and he didn't really want to intervene in the battle in Yanzhou.

I just want to build water conservancy here in Xuzhou and make the water conservancy work well.

Ignore the fight between Cao Cao and Lu Bu.

Let the two of them just fight.

It's just that Lu Bu's conditions made him a little moved.

So I was a little uncertain for a while.

I just want to invite Chen Deng to discuss it.

At this time, when he heard that Chen Deng had the same thoughts as himself, he followed suit and stopped thinking about it.

When you see Liu Bei, you will see through it at a glance, and follow the good advice.

Chen Deng showed a look of relief on his face.

This Liu Bei is really a person worthy of assistance.

Regardless of his low background, among the princes in the world today, there are indeed not many people who can compare with him.

This is a person with ambition, wisdom and means.

At least the sons of Tao Xuzhou are far inferior.

Tao Xuzhou intends to give up Xuzhou, and it is a very wise choice for Liu Bei to take care of their Tao family in the future.

According to Chen Deng's estimate, if Tao Xuzhou did this, the Tao family should still have a lot of wealth in the future.

At least future generations can live a more stable life.

If you don't do this, Liu Bei, Uncle Liu Huang, who has always seemed very modest, is afraid that at that time, he will use some iron and blood methods to get Xuzhou into his hands.

As for Lu Bu's invitation, in his opinion, there is no need to pay attention to it.

Let Lu Bu and Cao Cao just fight.

Both of them will lose in a fight, no matter whether Lu Bu wins or Cao Cao wins, as long as the two of them fight, it will consume a lot of money for them.

At that time, it was enough for them to fight for Yanzhou again.

It can be said that it is thankless to act rashly at this time.

Will face Cao Cao in advance.

As a result, there will be a lot of unnecessary things on my side.

Moreover, Lu Bu's people are the most dishonest.

Is a reckless, very careless.

If Xuzhou makes a move at this time and removes Cao Cao together with him, I am afraid that he will not be willing to give up the promised land to Xuzhou.

Even if he really ceded it to Xuzhou, there will inevitably be fights between his side and Yanzhou in the future.

That being the case, why do we have to wade through this muddy water in advance?

It would be nice to let the two of them continue to fight to the death.

Wouldn't it be nice to fight for Yanzhou after the battle has some results?

But he didn't say these words to Liu Bei, because he had already seen it, and Liu Bei should have thought of this too.

When Liu Bei called him over, he just wanted to hear the same opinion and get a definite answer from himself to strengthen his confidence, that's all.

After the two had some more conversations here, Chen Deng bid farewell to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei sent Chen Deng far away, and just now he recruited the envoy sent by Chen Gong.

It's not so much that he doesn't know how to make a move here, and ignores the battle in Yanzhou.

Next, Xuzhou will do its best to fight the drought.

Of course, in addition to these, Liu Bei also said a lot of beautiful things here.

But no matter how beautiful the words are, it can't change the fact that he will not intervene in the Yanzhou dispute.

Chen Gong has been waiting for the messenger to bring the news back.

As a result, when the news came back, he seemed very surprised.

He stood here, after thinking for a long time, he waved his hand to let the envoy leave.

After the envoy left, Chen Gong sat here and continued to think.

A day later, he called the envoy again and asked the envoy to go to Liu Bei's side.

And wrote a letter to Liu Bei.

The main content of the letter is to ask Liu Bei to take action and deal with Cao Cao together.

And in it, some analysis was carried out.

One of the main meanings is that according to what Cao Cao has shown, Cao Cao is a very good fighter and very difficult to deal with.

If Liu Bei stays on the sidelines for a long time, I'm afraid that when the time comes, Yanzhou will still be owned by Cao Cao.

By that time, not both sides will suffer, but Cao Cao's family will dominate.

Then, I asked a very practical question.

That is Cao Cao and Lu Bu, who is easy to deal with?
Is it easier to compete with Cao Cao after Cao Cao destroys Lu Bu and wins Yanzhou, or is it easier to fight against Cao Cao with Lu Bu and destroy Cao Cao?

Liu Bei received the letter sent by the envoy of Chen Gong, and after reading it, his face showed a pensive look.

After a while like this, he suddenly smiled and said: "This Chen Gong really dares to say it!
As a counselor, he dared to underestimate their lord so much.

If Lu Bu knew about these words, he might be suspicious of Chen Gong, which would easily cause unhappiness.

This Chen Gong is a very interesting person.

Quite a bit of demeanor for the sake of Yanzhou, regardless of personal honor or disgrace. "

Having said that, he thought about it carefully, but still rejected Chen Gong.

He said that Liu Bei is a very peaceful person and doesn't like fighting.

At this time, he just wanted to build water conservancy projects honestly here in Xuzhou to resist the possible drought.

Let Lu Bu and the others take care of themselves.

They can do whatever they like without considering his opinion.

He, Liu Bei, does not want and will not get involved in Yanzhou's affairs.

Chen Gong's envoy, hearing the words, hastily persuaded Liu Bei here, wanting Liu Bei to change his mind.

But Liu Bei made up his mind, no matter what he said, he just disagreed.

After a while, Chen Gong's envoy could only leave sadly.

Liu Bei waited here for a while, with a thoughtful look on his face.

After a while like this, he suddenly called some people over.

Then he handed over the letter sent by Chen Gong to this person.

"Get there, hand it over to Cao Mengde, let Cao Mengde take a look at what Chen Gong has done, and what measures I have made for him Cao Mengde.

I think he must thank me.

Use this letter to exchange for [-] shi of food and grass. "

Hearing what Liu Bei said, the people who were assigned this task seemed a little shocked and did not dare to go.

I always feel that this is a cheating job.

How can such a letter be exchanged for [-] shi of food and grass?
Liu Bei saw his embarrassment and said, "Just send it, Cao Cao will give it to you.

If not, it has nothing to do with you. "

……

On Cao Cao's side, he soon got a letter from Liu Bei.

At first, he was surprised to learn of this.

I don't know what Liu Bei is going to do when he sends someone to send a letter at this time.

Moreover, he would also use a letter in exchange for [-] stones of food and grass from himself.

Are you trying to threaten yourself?
Take the opportunity to extort some food from yourself?
This Liu Bei, really thought he was Hua Xiong, and he was that useless Liu Biao?

With this in mind, Cao Cao opened it and watched it.

After watching for a while, Cao Cao's face showed joy.

He glanced at it, and it made Liu Bei's envoy feel a little nervous, and said with a smile, "The price is quite fair.

Xuande has a heart.

I'll have someone count the [-] shi of grain and grass right away, and you take it back.

Say hello to Xuande, just say his kindness, and I, Cao Mengde, appreciate it. "

As he said that, he quickly arranged for someone to get [-] shi of grain and grass, and asked Liu Bei's envoy to take it back.

Liu Bei's envoy has been out of Cao Cao's territory, and the whole person still looks a little dizzy.

Looking at Cao Cao next to him, he personally sent someone to transport the [-] shi of grain and grass. I always feel that this matter is a bit too incredible.

How could such a light letter bring back [-] stones of food and grass all at once?
Cao Cao is still so willing?
This matter is really confusing.

But if you don't understand it, you don't understand it, these food and grass are real.

On Cao Cao's side, after giving the food and grass, he also sent an envoy to Lu Bu's side to deliver this letter to the envoy.

"This letter must be handed over to Lu Bu, and Chen Gong must not know about it."

Cao Cao has been trying to find ways to drive a wedge between Chen Gong and Lu Bu recently.

It's just that it has not been successful, and there is no good way.

At this time, the letter sent by Liu Bei can be said to be right in his arms.

It made him feel that sending out this letter has a great possibility of meritorious deeds...

……

Lu Bu frowned unconsciously as he read the letter sent by Cao Cao's envoy...
