Zhang Yu didn't expect that Cao Cao would have this idea. He wanted to kill Lv Bu.
However, I can also understand that there are many strong enemies around Cao Cao. It is too dangerous not to kill one first.
But the biggest threat is Yuan Shao. If Cao Cao can't beat him, he talks about the three people for more than three hours and gives them all the details.
In the evening, Guo Jia goes to see Cheng Yu.
"Welcome to Jiangdong, Mr. Zhongde." Guo Jia said.
"You're welcome. It's a great honor to meet Mr. fengxiao." Cheng Yu is also polite.
After they were polite again, Cheng Yu said, "I'd like to meet our eldest son tomorrow. Please tell Mr. fengxiao to Mr. Zhang for convenience."
"It doesn't have to be like this. Just go ahead and I'll make the decision." Guo Jia said with a smile.
Cheng Yu was a little embarrassed. Jiangdong lowered Cao Ang's place a few times.
It would be different if it happened to Zhang Yu. It proved that Cao ang was in a high position. As a result, Zhang Yu was so careless that a Guo Jia could make a decision at will.
Although Guo Jia's position in Jiangdong is not low, because of his work, he did not give Guo Jiafeng too high an official position.
Anyway, let Zhang Zhao decide. In the face of it, Zhang Zhao is the second person in Jiangdong.
In fact, Zhang Zhao's position is indeed higher than Guo Jiagao's. Zhang Zhao's contribution to the management of the whole Jiangdong area and the logistics of hundreds of thousands of troops is no less than anyone else.
Cheng Yu is very painful, but there is no way, people let you see Cao ang, what do you want.
Cheng Yu jumps over this little unhappiness, and then says, "our two families jointly attack Xuzhou and divide Xuzhou equally. What does Mr. Zhang mean?"
"It's OK to play, even if it's equal." Guo Jia said.
Cheng Yu was happy in his heart, but his face was serious. He frowned slightly and said, "it's fair to divide Xuzhou equally. If you want more, you have to pay more."
Guo Jia knows that Cheng Yu misunderstands and thinks that Zhang Yu wants more territory. Zhang Yu gives people the impression that he is insatiable.
Guo Jia was also happy and said calmly: "well, if we want more territory, we have to pay more. We only need Guangling county. If we don't want other places, we can compensate them in other ways. In addition, my Lord said, if the thief doesn't go away, how can we put the Xiahou brothers back for nothing."
Cheng Yu almost vomits blood. He tries to bargain with Guo Jia. Then he pretends to back down again and again, and gives more territory to Zhang Yu. As a result, Zhang Yu doesn't want the territory, just a Guangling county.
Cheng Yu is very depressed. He thinks that the other party will open his mouth. As a result, he only needs a small mouthful.
In addition, what is the thief does not go empty, there is such a saying of their own.
Cheng Yu would never agree to redeem people.
Redeem people, that is to treat the Xiahou brothers as goods and prisoners, which makes the two brothers' hearts hurt.
But Zhang Yu is obviously desperate for money.
Seeing Cheng Yu's face changing several times, Guo Jia said, "you don't need to redeem people, but war is coming. Our army is short of food and grass, and Cao's wealth is generous. It's right to support us."
Cheng Yu had a toothache in an instant. When it comes to the shortage of food and grass in Jiangdong, Guo Jia doesn't feel flushed.
Cheng Yu knows that this is the basis for further discussion. Jiangdong can ask them to redeem people in another way, but the money can't be less.
Cheng Yu understand after no entanglement, directly began to talk about the price.
"Well, seven million transactions will be completed, and someone will be sent to Jiangdong in a few days." After a fight, we finally agreed on a price of $7 million.
Seven million yuan redeemed the Xiahou brothers in the name of supporting Jiangdong's grain and grass.
This does not include Cao ang. I'm afraid the price of Cao ang is more expensive.
Although Cheng Yu is subdued, he can't help it. If he lost the war, he has to admit it.
Cheng Yu put up with it, and then said, "I don't know how many soldiers Mr. Zhang is willing to offer?"
"It's not urgent. We'll discuss it later. My Lord has another condition."
Cheng Yu is not in a hurry after hearing this. He knows that Zhang Yu doesn't want too many sites, so he will definitely want other things.
"Mr. fengxiao, if you have any conditions, please say them together." Cheng Yu said.
Guo Jia didn't care and laughed, then picked up the tea on the table and drank it.
Cheng Yu is a little nervous. He has a premonition that there will be changes in the negotiation process. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to solve.
Sure enough, after putting down the tea, Guo Jia said, "we are afraid of the power of marquis Wen, so we want to invite Yuan Shao and Yuan Mengzhu to join us to strengthen our momentum."
"No way."
Cheng Yu claps the table and shouts loudly.
Guo Jia seemed to have expected that Cheng Yu would have this reaction, so she was very calm and still sat with a smile.
Cheng Yu sits down slowly, and her heart is full of ups and downs.
It's a big blow.
It was Cheng Yu who proposed that Cao Cao unite with Zhang Yu to attack Lu Bu, which can kill two birds with one stone.
Once Zhang Yu gets a lot of land in Xuzhou, close to Qingzhou, Yuan Shao will be the most anxious.
If Yuan Shao is worried, he will naturally share a lot of pressure for Cao Cao and let Yuan Shao compete with Zhang Yu. In this way, Cao Cao can reduce the pressure of both Yuan Shao and Zhang Yu.
I didn't expect that his strategy would be seen through, so I didn't want to have so many sites, so I could avoid the direct impact with Yuan Shao.
The most important thing is that Zhang Yu wants to introduce Yuan Shao directly.
At that time, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will fight for Xuzhou, which Cao Cao does not want to see.
"Mr. fengxiao, Xuzhou is a piece of fat. It's good if you and I split up. Why let others fight for it?" Cheng Yu said.
Guo Jia said slowly: "Mr. Zhong De, they are all smart people. It's meaningless to say that. You and I have their own needs. It's good to reach the conditions, but we can't. when you go to war, we'll grab them ourselves."
Guo Jiaban's threat calms Cheng Yu down.
If he did not unite with Zhang Yu, it would be very difficult for Cao Cao to defeat Xuzhou, because Zhang Yu knew that he would make trouble.
Cheng Yu lamented in his heart that there would be no result this time.
"I can't decide this matter. I need to report it to my Lord before I can decide it." Cheng Yu said.
Guo Jia had expected that and left politely.
Cheng Yu meditated in the courtyard where he lived, then called several followers and said a long speech.
Naturally, it is impossible for Cheng Yu to rush back and come back by himself. It is a long way to go. As a scholar, he doesn't know how much time he will delay, and he can't write a letter, otherwise it will be bad if the letter is intercepted by others.
