Chapter 885 Bargaining
Li Yuanba made himself feel bored, but he was very depressed. Xiang Yu, who could have beaten him, even if he was no better than this fellow, he would not be chased and beaten by Xiang Yu. This matter has almost become Li Yuanba's heart disease. He interjected, and immediately shut up after hearing what Li Shimin said.

"How many troops does Aiqing want?" Li Shimin asked earnestly. Although he is not as systematic as Fusu Fusu, he has the ability to know people. He naturally knows how much Xu Shu's original skills and vision are.

"Five thousand is enough!" Xu Shu said seriously, "However, these people must be good at running and be strong enough to march in the mountains and forests."

Li Shimin nodded, and immediately wrote down the military order to Xu Shu, saying: "The widow's personal army will send [-] troops to you, and give you full command. Whether you can eliminate the hidden dangers in the south depends on Aiqing."

Xu Shu knelt on the ground, bowed his hands and took the order to leave.

Han Yu also wanted to go with Xu Shu, so he cupped his hands at Li Shimin immediately, and before Han Yu could speak, Li Shimin said: "If you want to retreat, then go together, the two of you are together, after all, you have a support."

"I obey!" Han Yu hurriedly chased him out.

Wu Yunzhao couldn't sit still immediately: "My lord, are you really going to let them go?"

"Don't let them go, you go?" Li Shimin knew that Wu Yunzhao didn't like the scholar leader, and felt that this would only delay things. This time Xu Shu asked the leader to recover Jiangzhou, at least [-]% sure, but he could correct Wu Yunzhao's thinking .

"It's better for the last general to guard the king here." Wu Yunzhao smiled, but didn't make a sound. ,

Li Shimin glanced at Wu Yunzhao meaningfully: "Since ancient times, it has been an unchanging truth that generals are wiser than bravery. If you only need a strong general to charge into battle, what do you need soldiers for?"

"Your Majesty is right!" Li Jing cupped his hands and said, he himself agrees with this.

"It won't be long before the Chu army will definitely come to attack the city. During this time, we will speed up our scouting and closely monitor the changes of the Chu army in Shangyong City every day." Li Shimin ordered.

Wu Yunzhao got up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as the Chu army walks out of Shangyong City, we can know the news."

……

The story was divided into two parts, and Xiang Yu sent Xiang back to Yingdu to prepare a generous gift to be born in the Jin Kingdom.

When Xiang He returned to Yingdu, Guan Zhong also felt that this was a very important matter and could not be neglected; but Guan Zhong had another plan in his heart-to unite with Zheng Guo!
The state of Zheng now has very little land, but it cannot withstand the large population.

Especially the geographical location of Zheng State is also very special. If it is true that Jin State did not abide by the original agreement and took advantage of all the elites in Chu State to attack Shu State, it would be true to attack the capital of Chu State at this time.Zheng Guo can go to the funeral to attack Jin.

Guan Zhong believes that as long as the operation is good, there is nothing impossible; he firmly believes that since Zhang Jiao, the king of Zheng, can kill his master Hong Xiuquan and ascend the throne, he must be cruel and merciless, and he will never put the so-called etiquette, righteousness and shame on the throne. on heart.

What this kind of person wants is an opportunity, and as long as the opportunity comes, he will definitely do something big and vigorous.

If Lu Bu didn't abide by the covenant and attacked Chu State secretly, then this horn would become a knife that was just behind Lu Bu's back!
Fan Zeng's army stationed at Liucheng will go straight into the city with Zheng Guo's army and attack Luoyang. At that time, Lu Bu can still ask Lu Bu to try the feeling of being insecure.

So, this time, besides his envoy to the state of Jin, Xiang Ta also went to visit the state of Zheng secretly.

The rich gifts were already prepared, so he carried them directly on his back, and traveled day and night to the state of Jin.

In just two days, he had already arrived at Luoyang City from Yingdu.

Lu Bu knew that he was an envoy from the state of Chu, and he was also a member of the Xiang clan, Xiang Ta, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect, so he directly ordered a state banquet to be held for Xiang Ta.

Naturally, Xiang Ta didn't like this, but he still had to do enough work on the surface.

It wasn't until the next day that Xiang He crawled out of the beauty's arms, and then he went to see Lv Bu. Naturally, Lv Bu waited for a long time, and Xiang He presented Xiang Yu's autographed letter to old Lv Bu.

After reading it, Lu Bu put the letter aside, and then said with a smile: "I, Jin and Chu, naturally have to be on good terms with each other. King Xiang said in the letter that he is willing to help us conquer the land of the old Qin. The widow is very happy, but King Xiang said that he sent troops to help attack Shu..."

"Your Majesty must have heard about it. Our Chu army suffered a lot outside Shangyong City. During this time, we have been cultivating in Shangyong. If Your Majesty is willing to send troops from above the Han River, then the Kingdom of Shu will start to fight." Facing enemies, Li Shimin will definitely retreat to Hanzhong. As long as Li Shimin is forced to Hanzhong, then the land of Bashu will be at our fingertips. In less than three to five years, we can transfer our troops to assist Chu in capturing Qin. , our Chu and Shu kingdoms are growing in strength, so we can naturally compete with the strong Qin and the strong Zhao."

Lu Bu sneered in his heart when he heard this. After Chu State took over its territory, it was certain that troops would go northward, but it was not necessarily to help Jin State conquer Qin;

"The land of Qin is rich and rich, and I have coveted it for a long time. If King Xiang sends troops to help, then I will be sure." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Xiang He was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face. He just asked with a light smile: "So, the king agreed to send troops from the Han River to attack Shu? It's just that he doesn't know when to send troops. Heren will be sent to lead the army, and the number of troops is How many?"

"Haha..." Lu Bu laughed, and just waved his hands: "Mr. misunderstood the meaning of the widow. I haven't finished what I said. The sir is really too impatient."

Xiang He looked sad, and cupped his hands and said: "It really made the king laugh. When Shangyong was captured, a certain person was in the army. Although our country captured the dangerous pass of the world in the battle of Shangyong, we lost so many soldiers. ? King Rusuo could have sent troops to help earlier, and there would have been a lot of sons and daughters in Chu Kingdom who would have survived the battlefield, so they lost their composure."

Lu Bu looked at Xiang Ta, wondering whether it was true or not. Since the Spring and Autumn and the Warring States period, counselors and lobbyists have been good at being happy, and people have always been unable to distinguish between true and false. Lu Bu's natural way is this, so He didn't pay too much attention to Xiang Ta's demeanor, but asked:

"I have heard about it, but I didn't expect your country to lose so many soldiers and horses in Shangyong."

"There is no way for Shu to occupy the terrain." Xiang He smiled wryly.

Lu Bu then said: "King Xiang is the suzerain to me. According to the logic, King Xiang led the army to attack Shu, so I should naturally follow. I don't know if the envoy knows that our country is attacking the kingdom of heaven."

"Heavenly Kingdom?" Xiang Ta's thoughts turned quickly, and then he said: "I heard that the King sent troops to attack the Heavenly Kingdom, and obtained a lot of land, and scared the general of the Heavenly Kingdom Zhang Jiao to kill the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan to ask for peace, which shows the strength of the King's army. "

Lu Bu also looked sad and said: "The envoy only knows that I have gained a lot of land, but I don't know that when I attacked the kingdom of heaven, the widow also lost all my belongings. Later, I returned home outside Shangcai city with a loss. Most of the elites, the world only sees the beautiful side of my Jin country, but how do you know that I also have my own difficulties."

After Xiang Ta heard this, he greeted Lu Bu's ancestors in his heart, and directly scolded Lu Bu for being shameless.

But what can he do?Knowing that Lu Bu was playing tricks on him, he could only listen patiently and put on a look of compassion: "I have never heard of such a thing."

Lu Bu then said: "Later, when King Xiang went to war with the Kingdom of Shu, I knew the battle was imminent. How could I not send troops to help King Xiang? So I summoned all the civil and military officials to train troops day and night, in order to be able to catch up with King Xiang when he sent troops. King Xiang."

Regardless of whether what Lu Bu said was true or not, Xiang Ta still left his seat, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has a heart."

Lu Bu smiled bitterly and said, "It was only later that something went wrong. Our country started famine in the middle of the spring. In desperation, we had to distribute the military rations to the people all over the country. The result can be imagined."

Xiang He just said: "Providing food and grass is such an important matter that no villain can decide, but now the matter is urgent, and the army often says that the generals in foreign countries will not accept orders. Although I am stupid, my king has given me such important things. In addition, Jin and Chu are friendly neighbors, and they should help each other. Your Majesty can send troops south, and our country will naturally provide general food and grass for the Jin army. I don’t know, Your Majesty..."

"Can you add a little more, how about [-]%?" Lu Bu said with a bitter face.

"How many people?" Xiang He was also a little embarrassed.

Lu Bu thought for a while, and then said: "I am willing to send one hundred thousand troops to help King Xiang."

"10 people..." Xiang Ta showed joy, but he was puzzled: "Look, my lord, how about half of it? After the harvest in Chu this year, we will definitely donate grain to Jin."

"It's not that the few people care about every detail, it's because our country of Jin can't afford so much food and grass to send troops. If the husband only provides general food and grass, then at most 5 people can be dispatched!" Lu Bu pushed his hand, saying that this is his bottom line .

"I will send [-]% of the army, and the king will send [-] troops?"

There was a look of emotion on Lu Bu's face: "Sixty percent... and what you promised me, as long as there is a bumper harvest this year, you will send the remaining [-] percent of grain and grass, how about it?"

"My lord! Sixty percent is already the limit!" Xiang Ta cried out, "I really can't go any further. Although I belong to King Xiang's clan, I don't dare to be so extravagant. If I promise fifty percent, I have already angered King Xiang. If you promise [-]%, King Xiang will be furious, if you promise [-]%...if I return to the country, King Xiang will definitely smash me."
