Chapter 6

Cai Mao's mind turned sharply, thinking about the way to get rid of him. He even said: "General Zhang, as long as you release me, I can provide you with food or weapons. I can even suggest to my Lord that you stay in Nanyang County. "

He didn't want to be a weight on the table.

Once he becomes a weight, his position in Liu Biao's followers will surely drop sharply.

Even the Cai family will be affected.

Zhang Xiu disdained a smile, said: "if this will release you, then the initiative to your hands.". What's more, if you run away and don't admit it afterwards, what can I do with you? I'm not used to putting my destiny in the hands of others. I'd better go to Xiangyang in person and ask for it from Liu Biao. "

Cai Mao was so anxious that he said, "General Zhang, how do you want to release me?"

"I won't let you go!"

Zhang Xiu's eyes flashed a cool color and answered categorically.

Hearing this, Cai Mao felt that his heart had fallen to the bottom of the valley, and he had no chance. He said, "since general Zhang is not willing to let me go, he is determined to use me to coerce the Lord. Why talk to me?"

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "because Ben will need food and weapons, the Cai family will have to come up with money and food to redeem you."

Cai Mao said, "I'm already your prisoner. You're going to use me to bargain with the Lord. What's the relationship with the Cai family?"

Zhang Xiu dusted her robe and said, "if I say it has something to do with it, it has something to do with it."

"You..."

Cai Mao's words stopped him, and he didn't know what to say.

In front of Zhang Xiu, too overbearing.

Zhang Xiu continued: "first, as long as you are alive, Liu Biao has to redeem you. Otherwise, who will work for Liu Biao in Jingzhou. With this alone, Liu Biao has to give food, weapons and territory. "

"Second, Liu Biao only redeems you who are alive. Whether you will lack arms and legs depends on the sincerity of the Cai family. If the Cai family can't provide food, money and weapons, the people who give them to Liu Biao may lack arms and legs, or even be disfigured. "

Zhang Xiu patted Cai Mao's cheek and said with a smile, "general Cai, do you understand?"

Cai Mao said angrily: "Zhang Xiu, you are so cruel!"

With a sneer, Zhang Xiu sneered: "in troubled times, if I am not cruel, I will be killed and swallowed. Ask yourself, will you save my life if Cai Mao catches me

When Cai Mao heard the speech, he drew his cheek.

If he catches Zhang Xiu, he will definitely kill her.

Zhang Xiu added: "once I fall into your hands, I will surely die. And now, you're at least alive, aren't you? Cai Mao, don't pretend to be pathetic. You are not weak. You are not qualified to win sympathy. As a soldier, when you fight on the battlefield, you have to be prepared to be killed. "

Cai Mao couldn't be humiliated and said in a loud voice: "Zhang Xiu, you want money and food. There's one way to die. If you kill me, the Lord will never let you go, and the Cai family will never let you go. "

Zhang Xiu tut tut two, sneer: "you are really stupid, or pretend to be stupid? Did I not make my statement clear just now? I said I would not kill you because I would bargain with you and Liu Biao. "

"The best I can do is to break your arms and legs. Or cut your face with a sword blade, and you will become a cripple and an ugly monster. "

Zhang Xiu said: "since general Cai is willing to be disabled, I will help you. I am always ready to help others. Come on, break Cai Mao's leg and arm, and write "sin" on his face

The soldiers must be ordered to come forward immediately.

"No, don't come here."

As soon as Cai Mao saw the soldiers coming, he quickly put out his hand to stop them.

"Wait a minute!"

Zhang Xiu ordered and asked again, "Cai Mao, have you considered it?"

Cai Mao said, "I, I..."

At this moment, Cai Mao hesitated. Once he agreed to Zhang Xiu, the Cai family would become a laughing stock.

Zhang Xiu said coldly: "since you don't want to, don't waste my time. Go ahead and break his arms and legs. "

The soldier standing on one side stepped forward again.

"Don't come here, I promise."

Cai Mao saw that the soldiers rushed over again. He was so scared that he shivered and agreed. At the moment, Cai Mao felt that Zhang Xiu in front of him was like a devil, which made his heart cold.

Zhang Xiu waved the soldiers back and asked, "general CAI has agreed to the terms. How much food and weapons can the Cai family give? Give Ben a definite word. "

Cai Mao said, "the Cai family can give general Zhang 10000 Jin of grain, 100 sets of armor and 100 swords."

Zhang Xiu said with disdain: "should you send beggars? Ten thousand catties of grain is not enough for our army's son Lang to plug his teeth. How many people can be equipped with 100 sets of armor and 100 swords? "

Cai Mao listened to Zhang Xiu's words, and then saw her fierce eyes, which made her neck shrink. He quickly said, "General Zhang, 30000 Jin of grain, 100 sets of armor and 100 swords are the limits of the Cai family. If it goes beyond this range, the Cai family can't bear it. After all, the strength of the Cai family is limited. "Zhang Xiu said: "do you want to coax ghosts? Such a big Cai family, the strength of Jingzhou, only this property? Don't be so fussy. Ben will give you a standard. Buy it now, 100000 Jin of grain, 1000 swords, 500 sets of armor and 100 craftsmen. "

Cai Mao's face changed greatly and his expression was bitter.

As the owner of the Cai family, the family also keeps private soldiers. It's not too difficult to take out 100000 Jin of grain. Even 1000 swords and 500 sets of armor can be taken out, but a hundred craftsmen are painful.

Craftsmen are the foundation, and energy sources are constantly making weapons.

To give a hundred craftsmen to Zhang Xiu is to give her countless weapons.

Cai Mao said: "General Zhang, the Cai family really can't bring out so much food and weapons, and there are not so many craftsmen. General Zhang, it's about my life. I won't lie. "

Zhang Xiu said: "Ben Jiang doesn't care whether you can take it out or not. If you can't take it out, you have to borrow it. Otherwise, be prepared to be disabled. "

Cai Mao said bitterly, "General Zhang, please be flexible."

From the bottom of my heart, Cai Mao is not willing to accept it.

But Zhang Xiu didn't bargain with CAI Mao or give Cai Mao a chance to bargain. She said, "since you can't take it out, you can't borrow it. So, take an arm as a discount. According to you, ten thousand catties of grain, one hundred sets of armor and one hundred swords. Come on, I'll cut off Cai Mao's arm. "

When Cai Mao saw that Zhang Xiu didn't agree with each other, he was about to fight, and his heart was bitter. He is also a good talker, but when he meets Zhang Xiu, he can't make sense, and he can't communicate with Zhang Xiu at all.

Cai Mao knew that he couldn't bargain. He gritted his teeth and said, "here, I'll give it. One hundred thousand catties of grain, one thousand swords, five hundred sets of armor, and one hundred craftsmen. "

Zhang Xiuyan said: "he who knows current affairs is a hero. General Cai is a smart man. Money and food are gone, and you can earn it again. But if you lose your life, you lose everything. "

Cai Mao's heart is dripping with blood.

He took out 100000 Jin of grain, 1000 swords and 500 sets of armor at one go, and the Cai family also had to break their bones and muscles.

But in order to survive, Cai Mao had to admit it.

Zhang Xiu successfully blackmailed Cai Mao, patted Cai Mao on the shoulder, got up and left, and then sat down under a fire to rest. If he wants to go to Xiangyang tomorrow, he must have enough spirit to cope with the next situation.
