Chapter 2946 Liu Yu: Brother Xiu, do you want a concubine or not?

Chapter 2942 Liu Yu: Brother Xiu, do you want a concubine or not?

Luo Xian was completely speechless when he saw Liu Xiu, who looked upright and upright one second, but became so philistine the next second.

Before coming here, she thought that Liu Xiu, who had not suffered losses in many battles with Da Qin, would be different from other princes. But now it seems that there is no difference, they are all the same shameless and greedy.

Seeing Luo Xian's expression, Liu Xiu also knew that he didn't look good when he was eating, but he still didn't feel embarrassed at all. There was a calm look in his eyes. He was sure that the Japanese state could not do without the Chu state.

The situation of the Chu State was completely different from that of the Shu State. The Shu State had neither a navy nor an outlet to the sea. If it wanted to participate in colonization, it could only rely on the Chu and Japanese countries. However, the Chu State had no such concerns.

After the Battle of the East China Sea broke out, the naval power of the four kingdoms of Wei, Song, Ming and Wei was weakened. On the contrary, Chu State relied on annexing Wu State step by step, and its naval power further expanded.

At present, Chu's national power is not only second only to that of Da Qin, but its navy has also become the second largest in the world after Da Qin.

In addition, although Chu State also hopes to participate in colonization, it is not as eager as Shu State.

Chu State can also increase its strength through external expansion, and can also colonize Nanyang. Unlike Shu State, it does not only have Yingzhou as an option.

Therefore, compared with the relationship between Shu and Japan, the Japanese state occupies the absolute initiative, but it is the Chu state that occupies the initiative between Chu and Japan.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi knew this and did not include the three kingdoms of Chu, Ming and Song when choosing his **** allies. Instead, he chose Cao Wei, who was about to perish, and Shu, who had no outlet to the sea but was in desperate need of wealth. The reason was naturally If you cannot control these three naval powers, in-depth cooperation with them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.

As for whether the Chu State would be unwilling to come? Toyotomi Hideyoshi thought it was unlikely for two reasons:

First, Liu Xiu himself wanted to participate in colonization, and now that Japan was offering it, he had no reason to refuse the benefits.

The second is the Shu-Chu Alliance. It is impossible for Shu to participate in the war and Chu to stay out of the matter, otherwise the Shu-Chu Alliance will unite, which will be more than worth the gain against the great cause of Qin.

It was precisely by calculating these two points that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had the confidence to prostitute Liu Xiu for free, but he still underestimated the tacit understanding between Liu Yu and Liu Xiu, as well as the greed in the heart of the emperor who cared about the world.

If Liu Xiu didn't know that Liu Yu had gained huge benefits, then he would naturally be very happy to participate in this colonial feast. But on the premise of knowing that Liu Yu made a lot of money, but he was the only one who wanted to generate electricity for love, then Liu Xiu would naturally not be willing. .

Your Japanese country has given so many benefits to the Shu country, but you haven't given a penny to our Chu country. Are you looking down on me? Do you understand the rules?

In a word, out of the obligation of an ally, the Chu State can transport troops for free, but if the Chu army wants to land to help the war, it is impossible for the Japanese State not to provide some real benefits.

This puts Luo Xian in a dilemma. After all, she is just a messenger. She does not have such great rights and cannot be the master of the Japanese country.

The bottom line for the Japanese country is that 30% of the income from Shijian Yinshan has been eaten up by the Shu Han. Then the Japanese country can only continue to cut off the meat to impress the Chu country, but how easy is it?

The Toyotomi family itself only accounts for 10% of the income from Iwami Ginzan, and the 30% of the income promised to the Shu Han is still cut from Cao Wei. Cao Pi will definitely not agree to continue to let Cao Wei cut flesh, and only 10% of the Toyotomi family The income will definitely not impress Chu State.

It’s difficult.

Luo Xian couldn't stop wailing in her heart. She thought Liu Yu was the most difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect Liu Xiu to be even more difficult to deal with than him. These emperors were too shrewd, and she couldn't take any advantage as a prostitute.

After Luo Xian was silent for a long time, she came up with a solution that was not a solution. Now this matter was far beyond her ability. All she could do was to delay and send the news back to the Japanese country, leaving the master and junior brother to have a headache. Bar.

To this, Liu Xiu naturally agreed happily. He naturally knew that Luo Xian could not make the decision, and he was not interested in making things difficult for a woman. The person he was competing with was the person behind Luo Xian.

As for the negotiations between the Chu and Japanese countries, would they be as difficult as those between the Shu and Japanese countries, causing Liu Xiu to give up? Of course it won't.

Shu and Japan were thousands of miles apart, and negotiations could only be carried out through flying pigeons, which would inevitably pass through the territory of Daqin. Frequent transmissions would run the risk of being intercepted by Daqin. This was the reason why Liu Yu was unwilling to continue bargaining.

Chu State has no such worries at all.

Even though the Chu State has not yet reached the seaside, the Wu State Navy has been crippled, and the Yangtze River has become the back garden of the Chu State Navy. Following the coastal area to Yingzhou will only take an extra three or four days of sailing.

What's more, in addition to shipping, flying pigeons can also send messages between Chu and Japan, and flying pigeons to send messages between Chu and Japan do not need to go through Da Qin, so there is naturally no risk of being intercepted by Da Qin.

Therefore, Liu Xiuda could help the Shu Han transport troops while negotiating with the Japanese country on the way. If the negotiations were successful, everything would be fine. If the negotiations failed, the worst he could do was send the Shu troops and then return home.

Of course, this possibility is very small, and Liu Xiu will not really send his navy for just one trip and then come back.

Taking the road to return home was just a means for Liu Xiu to negotiate, in order to blackmail the Japanese country and obtain benefits.

He, Liu Xiu, is not that greedy. As long as the Japanese country gives Shu Han some benefits, he only needs to give the same share to the Chu country. This is not too much. I believe the Japanese country will agree to his conditions.

On the same day, Liu Xiu ordered Gan Ning to lead 10,000 sailors, 10,000 cavalry, and a large number of transport ships to come to Jianye Port to be on standby.

After the 30,000 Shu Han army arrives, Liu Xiu will take Gan Ning as the main general and lead the 30,000 Shu Han army to Yingzhou, for a total of 50,000 land and water troops.

Chu State now not only dominates the waters of the Yangtze River, but also greatly surpasses Sun Wu in terms of military strength. If the army of 20,000 is missing, it will not have an impact on the battle to destroy Wu. On the contrary, if the army of 20,000 is used for colonization, it will Being able to earn a lot of money for Chu State can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

The Shu Han sent 30,000 troops and the Chu State's 20,000 troops were not large, but their combat power was not weak. If they were all used in Yingzhou, they would already be a force sufficient to influence the situation.

If it had been before the Battle of the East China Sea, Liu Xiu would not have thrown the 20,000-strong army over so rashly. After all, the Great Qin Navy was still the undisputed overlord on the water at that time. If he transported troops to Yingzhou like this, he would definitely be intercepted by the Great Qin Navy. .

Fortunately, after the Battle of the East China Sea, Da Qin's navy also suffered serious losses. At present, like the navies of the Wei, Song, and Ming Dynasties, they are quietly restoring their military strength. At this juncture, it is obviously impossible to make additional enemies and fight the Chu navy again at sea. battle.

"As long as the negotiations with the Japanese state are successful, not only will all the funds for the destruction of Wu be earned back, but even the funds for the management and development of Jiangdong will not have to come from the national treasury..."

When he thought of this, the corners of Liu Xiu's mouth couldn't stop rising. He had been living in poverty since he came to power. He just wished he could use one copper coin as two coins. It was not until he completely occupied Jiaozhou that things got better, but he couldn't call it that. Rich, how could his income not only exceed his expenses like now, but also give him the illusion that he will have endless money in his pocket from now on. I think if Liu Xiu had so much money, he would definitely upgrade Jiangling's city defense to another level, and he would not have to fight three Jiangling offensive and defensive battles with Yue Fei.

"Well, everything was caused by poverty, but now it's better. I, Liu Xiu, finally don't have to worry about money."

Just when Liu Xiu was happily reminiscing about the past and enjoying the future, he was about to be stabbed in the back by Shu Han again. However, compared to Liu Ji's malice, Liu Yu was kind this time, and this also made Liu Xiu was a bit dissatisfied with his behavior.

Returning to Liu Yu's side, after negotiating cooperation with the Japanese in Wei, the Japanese envoy Luoxian went with the army to negotiate with Chu, while the Wei envoy Cao Ying was preparing to return home and return to the Central Plains.

Cao Ying will serve as an envoy this time. Firstly, she happens to be near Yizhou, and secondly, her identity as Cao Cao's concubine makes it easier to obtain evidence and win the trust of the Shu Han senior officials.

What Cao Ying didn't expect was that precisely because of this identity, she would never be able to return to the Central Plains.

That day, Cao Ying packed her bags and was about to leave the embassy, ​​but as soon as she walked out of the door, she found two people following her.

The skills of these two people are extremely advanced. At least Cao Ying couldn't get to the bottom of it. They must be masters at the early stage of Grandmaster or above.

The two told Cao Ying that they were guards sent by Liu Yu to protect her, and that they were obviously imprisoned in the name of protection.

In this way, Cao Ying was restricted by Liu Yu in the city of Chengdu. She was followed by two masters wherever she went, but she didn't understand why Liu Yu did this. It wasn't until Liu Yu summoned her again two days later that she understood. Liu Yu's intention in doing this.

Cao Ying originally thought that Liu Yu would put her under house arrest, probably because he coveted her beauty. After all, it was not surprising that a lustful man who bullied his widowed sister-in-law would fall in love with a young girl like her.

But what Cao Ying didn't expect was that even if the two met alone in private, she didn't see the slightest **** in Liu Yu's eyes, and Liu Yu didn't do anything untoward.

After some probing and testing, but unable to detect Liu Yu's thoughts at all, Cao Ying couldn't bear it anymore and asked straight to the point: "Your Majesty, why don't you let my little girl leave? "

When Liu Yu heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Although my move is a bit arrogant, it is actually out of good intentions."

Cao Ying sneered in her heart when she heard this. She wanted to hear Liu Yu's good intentions.

"Princess, you are already of marriageable age, but you are still working hard for your father's great cause. You are truly a hero among women."

Hearing Liu Yu's words, Cao Ying secretly thought to herself. Sure enough, she knew Liu Yu was lustful, but she didn't expect that the other party would not even let go of an envoy from a country.

To be honest, Cao Ying didn't have any bad feelings towards Liu Yu, but he admired him for his ability to endure humiliation and bear the burden.

In addition, Liu Yu's ability and appearance are also top-notch. Apart from lust, he doesn't seem to have any shortcomings. But for the emperor, **** is not a shortcoming.

Therefore, for Cao Ying, marrying Liu Yu was not unacceptable, but she didn't understand why Liu Yu would go to extra trouble.

If Liu Yu really wanted to force her, Cao Ying couldn't refuse. If he wanted to marry her, it would be easier. He could just go to Wei to propose marriage. Her father, Cao Cao, probably wouldn't refuse, so why would Liu Yu bother?

Just when Cao Ying thought Liu Yu was going to say that he wanted to accept her as his concubine, he didn't expect Liu Yu to act out of common sense.

"I have a younger brother who is talented, handsome, and powerful.

After hearing about the princess's deeds, he admired her so much that he threatened not to marry anyone who was not a princess.

As an elder brother, I couldn’t bear the thought of my younger brother falling in love, so I came up with this bad idea to force the princess to stay first..."

Hearing this, Cao Ying was stunned. She thought it was Liu Yu who fell in love with her, but she didn't expect that it was Liu Yu's brother who fell in love with her.

Although Liu Yu's younger brother cannot compare with Liu Yu, if Liu Yu really loved his brother and forced himself to marry his brother, Cao Ying would not be able to refuse at all.

"well…"

Cao Ying sighed in her heart. She had already had a premonition of her future and began to think about which of Liu Yu's brothers she would marry.

As the eldest son of Liu Yan, Liu Yu has many younger brothers, but which younger brother will he marry himself to? Where is Liu Fan? Or is it Liu Zhang? Or…

At this thought, Cao Ying subconsciously looked at the tall and mighty Liu Er (Liu Er) behind Liu Yu.

Liu Er is also Liu Yu's younger brother. Not only do the two brothers have the best relationship, but Liu Er is still unmarried, which completely fits Liu Yu's description.

It's just Liu Er's appearance and his thick hair. To say he's not ugly is already a compliment. It really can't be linked to the word "outstanding appearance".

"That's all, Liu Er is also one of the top warriors in the world. Marrying such a heroic man doesn't mean you have insulted me, Cao Ying."

Cao Ying secretly thought that after all, she had no choice, so she could only choose to accept it. After thinking about it, she found that Liu Er was also quite pleasing to her eyes.

It's actually normal for Cao Ying's mentality to change so quickly. After all, her aesthetics are different from ordinary people. In "Seeing the Dragon and Disarming", she was attracted to the seventy-year-old Zhao Yun, who is ugly but powerful. There is nothing surprising about the powerful Liu Er.

On the contrary, Liu Er didn't understand why Cao Ying kept staring at him. He was a disciple of Buddhism, and he was devoted to pursuing martial arts and was completely uninterested in beauty.

In Liu Er's eyes, women may not be as beautiful as the iron rod in his hand. If it weren't for protecting his brother Liu Yu, he would definitely meet Cao Ying once in his life.
