Chapter 270

Liu Xiu also got up and went back to the backyard and went straight to Zhao Yun's yard. On this day, Zhao Yun's spirit was quite good. He was reading in the yard.

Seeing Liu Xiu coming, Zhao Yun looked up, lowered his head and said, "sit down!"

Liu Xiu smiles. It seems that Zhao Yun is really used to it.

Now, he has the master's mind to let himself sit down.

Liu Xiu sat down and looked at Zhao Yun, who was rich and handsome. His heart was also full of expectation. If Zhao Yun can make full use of him, he will have no problem in consolidating Jingzhou. He can even prepare for the attack on Jiangdong.

It's just a long way to take Zhao Yun in.

Liu Xiujing sat down without disturbing.

About a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Yun put down his book and said with a smile, "young master Xiu is coming to see me today. What's the matter?"

Liu Xiu said, "Liu Bei has come to Xiangyang!"

Zhao Yun looked happy and said, "what's the Lord doing in Xiangyang?"

Liu Xiu said: "naturally, it's negotiation. Zhuge Liang came to Xiangyang to let me recognize Liu Qi as the name of Jingzhou animal husbandry and implement the two masters' mutual respect in Jingzhou. Unfortunately, Zhuge Liang could not be the master, so Liu Bei also came. Liu Bei is determined that I don't dare to do anything to him before I come to Xiangyang. I'm really confident. "

Zhao Yun said: "Mr. Xiu, is the negotiation going well now?"

Liu Xiu said, "it's not going well!"

Zhao Yun said: "who is not smooth?"

Liu xiudao: "what do you think?"

Zhao Yun thought for a moment, and then he said, "what's the problem, my lord?" In the words, Zhao Yun is very worried about Liu Bei's situation. Rao Shi once asked Liu Bei to stay with Liu Xiu for food, but in the final analysis, Zhao Yun was still interested in Liu Bei, especially he thought that Liu Bei was not Liu Xiu's opponent, so he asked Liu Bei.

Liu Xiu did not answer, but changed the subject and said: "naturally, there are a lot of bumps in the negotiation. You don't have to worry about Zilong. "

Zhao Yun said: "when Kong Ming came to Xiangyang, he said that Wuling and Nanjun were loyal to childe Qi. But now the Lord is in trouble. Has master Xiu solved the problem? "

Liu Xiu raised his mouth and said, "Zilong, you are so accurate. Indeed, I have won Nanjun and cut off the connection between Nanyang and Wuling. Now Wuling county is surrounded and will soon fall into my control. "

In a word, Zhao Yun knows Liu Bei's dilemma.

Zhao Yun thought about it and said, "even so, the Lord is not so embarrassed."

Liu Xiu shrugged and said in a deep voice, "because I ask Liu Bei for you."

In a word, Zhao Yun was silent.

During this period of time, Zhao Yun has seen that Liu Xiu attaches great importance to and appreciates him. Even Zhao Yun admired Liu Xiu. However, Liu Bei is very kind to him, and Zhao Yun is not willing to turn his back on Liu Bei.

Liu Xiu didn't want to talk more. He stood up and said, "Zilong, it's your business to be loyal to Liu Bei. But I will show you that Liu Bei will sacrifice you for his power. If it were me, I would never give up on you. Instead, I chose to fight directly. Unfortunately, Liu Bei would not. "

With that, Liu Xiu turned and left.

Zhao Yun sat alone in the yard. He picked up the book in his hand and looked through it. But his heart was in a mess and he didn't want to read any more. With a sigh, Zhao Yun got up and went to the room. He took the silver gun and practiced martial arts in the yard.

……

When Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang returned to the inn, they sat in the room and said nothing.

Chen Dao was also worried when he saw this scene in his room.

Obviously, the situation is very unfavorable.

Chen to sighed, no longer disturb Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, out of the room, waiting for the message sent out to reprimand Hou. At this time, we can only expect news from the front line.

At noon, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang didn't get any rice and didn't drink a mouthful of water.

In the afternoon, a message reached Chen Dao.

Chen Dao's face broke down immediately after he received it. He hurried into the room and said, "my Lord, it's not good. The prefect of Wuling county has now changed his banner and directly declared his support for Liu Xiu. Before Liu Xiu's army attacked Wuling County, the other side had already raised the flag and surrendered. "

With these words, Liu Bei's face broke down.

The situation is getting worse.

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei. He took a deep breath and said, "Lord, I can't wait any longer. Continue to wait, the situation will become more and more out of control. What should be given up can only be given up. "

By implication, we can only abandon Zhao Yun, otherwise the situation in Xinye will collapse.

Liu Bei's eyes showed a reluctant look, saying: "Kong Ming, once you abandon Zilong, what will Zilong think and what will the soldiers think? I can't talk about it. I can't get through that. "

A strong depression spread in my heart.

Liu Bei can't give up his subordinates.Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, no matter what, we can only find an opportunity to explain to Zilong. There is no way to solve the problem of food. In the current situation, I'm afraid the Lord's forces will be greatly weakened. It will be very difficult to expand our power in the future. "

"Alas

Liu Bei sighed, got up and said, "let's go and see Liu Xiu."

At this time, Liu Bei's heart, has made a decision to negotiate with Liu Xiu. Meanwhile, he has decided to give up Zhao Yun. After they got out of the inn, they went to the prefecture. Once they were informed, Liu Xiu came to the hall.

Liu Xiu met Liu Bei and asked, "Duke Xuande, have you considered it?"

"Yes, it has been considered."

Liu Bei nodded, but his face was embarrassed.

Liu Xiu suddenly laughed and said, "I just received a message that the governor of Wuling county has now issued a notice to honor my son. When the news comes out, the situation is different. Duke Xuande, do you know the news? "

Liu Bei said without expression: "I already know!"

Liu Xiu said: "now that you know, you should understand that the conditions are different now."

"Brush!"

Liu Bei's face changed.

Immediately, Liu Bei still suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "what are the conditions for xiugongzi?"

Liu Xiu smile, said: "in fact, my conditions are still very simple. Liu Bei's eyes widened, his hands clenched, and his body could not help shaking.

Humiliation!

A strong sense of humiliation has bred in Liu Bei's heart.

In his mind, even for a moment, he wanted to overturn the table and fight Liu Xiu directly. However, the thought of his foundation and foundation in Xinye finally suppressed his anger.

Zhuge Liang sat in the hall, worried that Liu Bei would explode.

In the end, his concerns proved superfluous.

Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Xiu, I agreed to your terms, but there was something wrong with the 100000 stone grain before. After the soldiers in our army ate it, many people had physical problems. Therefore, I need to give Jingzhou a certain amount of food to tide over the current difficulties. "

Liu Xiu said with a smile, "yes, but this time the grain is only 20000 stone. Twenty thousand stone grain is enough for Xuande's soldiers to spend a month or two. In addition to the previous grain storage, I believe Xuande's grain is quite a lot. Xuande Gong, what do you think? "

Liu Bei shook his head and said: "twenty thousand stone grain, too little! At least, 40000 stone grains. "

Liu Xiu said: "Xuande Gong, 20000 stone grain, the purpose is to make you unable to start a war. If it's 40000 stone grain, as long as you save money, maybe you can start a war. So it's impossible. "

When Liu Bei heard the speech, he secretly scolded Liu Xiu for his cunning.

Liu Xiu has taken this into consideration. It's too cunning.

Liu Bei took a deep breath and said, "yes, I promise you the terms."

Liu Xiu directly took out a piece of cloth and silk, and then ordered people to take pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He quickly added the condition of giving 20000 stone grain and said, "Xuande, come and have a look at this contract."

After Liu Bei took it, he quickly glanced at it.

The general content has not changed.

First, Liu Qi admitted Liu Xiu's official position as a herdsman in Jingzhou; second, Zhao Yun belonged to Liu Xiu; third, Liu Xiu gave Liu 20000 stone grain. The rest of the conditions were not added.

Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Mr. Xuande, Zilong is in your house. You can go to him. In fact, if I ask you to find him, you can also find a reason for yourself to tell Zilong that you are helpless, right? It's good for you, too. "

Liu Bei's face was stiff when he heard the speech.

He snorted and asked Liu Xiu to call for a servant. Then he went to Zhao Yun's house.
