Beast King Three Kingdoms

Chapter 127 The pie in the sky

Hearing Yuan Shu's words, not to mention Sun Qian, even Mi Zhu gasped.

Xuzhou originally had a population of nearly 300 million, but was defeated in the previous war. Under Yuan Shu's intimidation, Tao Qian moved more than 60 people to the south bank of the Huaihe River.

Now there are only more than 200 million people left in Xuzhou, while Xiapi County has a population of 61.

As soon as Yuan Shu opened his mouth, nearly [-]% of Xuzhou's population would go away, which was tantamount to gouging out Liu Bei's flesh.

"Could the general be joking?" Sun Gan said stiffly, with a half-hearted smile.

"Tao Qian negotiated with me before, and the conditions are the same. Since Tao Qian can accept it, then Liu Bei..." Yuan Shu looked at Sun Qian with a smile, and his meaning was self-evident.

Embarrassment flashed across Sun Qian's face. He had persuaded Tao Qian to agree to Yuan Shu's conditions at the beginning, but now that he thinks about it, he really regrets it.

"The general's words are wrong! The situation at the time was very different from what it is now, how can it be compared?" Sun Gan said.

Yuan Shu said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will make the current situation the same as before, and Liu Xuande should agree to it."

The meaning of the threat is obvious.

Sun Qian only felt a chill rushing towards his face, and couldn't help shivering.

Yuan Shu looked at Sun Qian, but kept glancing at Mi Zhu from the corner of his eye.

"What's going on with Mi Zhu? Why didn't he say a word?"

After the negotiation started, Mi Zhu never expressed his opinion, as if he didn't hear the two of them talking.

Originally, Yuan Shu thought that Mi Zhu was a businessman, so he pretended to be calm in order to gain benefits for the negotiation, but he didn't say a word, so he was too calm.

"I heard that Zizhong is an important minister of Liu Xuande, what do you think about this?" Yuan Shu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and asked Mi Zhu first.

Mi Zhu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Yuan Shu in surprise.

Liu Bei important minister?At this time, Mi Zhu was unwilling to bear this title.

"It's really not worthy of being called an important minister if you are engaged in it." Mi Zhu shook his head.

"Oh?" Yuan Shu was a little curious, and said, "I heard that Liu Xuande was able to take control of Xuzhou, and Zizhong contributed a lot, so he should be his arm. Why don't you dare to admit it?"

"Mr. Xuande succeeds Xuzhou because of the appointment of the former master. How can I be worthy? How dare I say that I will contribute?" Mi Zhu said indifferently.

Yuan Shu's eyes flashed brightly, and he heard a resentment from Mi Zhu's words.

"It seems that I took it for granted before. There should be something unpleasant between Mi Zhu and Liu Bei. That's why it happened, not for negotiation." Yuan Shu thought.

Sun Qian was also aware of it, and looked at Mi Zhu meaningfully, thoughtful.

At that moment, Yuan Shu waved his hand and said, "Leave aside these. What does Zi Zhong think about my conditions?"

Mi Zhu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the General has misunderstood something! I'm here next time, just to see what business Shouchun has to do. Gongyou is the envoy. If you have any questions, you can ask him."

Sun Qian raised his eyebrows. Although Liu Bei really meant this, he didn't tell Mi Zhu.

"It seems that Mi Zhu has gradually separated from the lord, and he must persuade the lord after returning." Sun Qian secretly thought.

The three major families in Xuzhou, the Cao family, the Mi family, the Chen family, and the Chen family have already declined. Although there is a tendency to rise again recently, it will not be able to recover overnight. When Liu Bei entered Xuzhou, in order to control the military power, he emptied Cao Bao, so Naturally, the Cao family was offended, and if the Mi family was offended again, it would really cause chaos.

After Yuan Shu heard Mi Zhu's words, he was even more sure that he had a disagreement with Liu Bei.

"Should I add fuel to the flames and provoke them?" Yuan Shu thought maliciously.

At this time, Sun Qian had recovered, his face straightened, and he said to Yuan Shu: "General! Such conditions are absolutely unacceptable to me. If the general insists, I, Xuzhou, will not sit still."

"Yeah!" Yuan Shu said calmly, "You can give it a try!"

Sun Gan's face couldn't help but change. He thought that even if he threatened Yuan Shu, even if he didn't back down, his attitude would soften a little, but he didn't expect such a result.

However, the words have been spoken, and it is impossible to take them back, and now Sun Qian can only be tough to the end.

"Since this is the case, there is no need to talk any more, and I will leave."

Saying that, she got up and wanted to leave, but secretly pulled Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu knew Sun Qian's intentions, although he didn't want to, but he hadn't left Xuzhou yet, and his family had never moved, so naturally he couldn't completely turn his back on Liu Bei, otherwise he didn't care, and it would be bad to implicate the family.

Helpless, Mi Zhu got up to stop Sun Qian, turned to Yuan Shu and said, "Gongyou was a little rude, and I hope the general will forgive me."

"He is not my subordinate, so it doesn't matter if he is rude or not." Yuan Shu said lightly, as if he didn't take the matter of talent to heart.

Mi Zhu nodded, turned to Sun Qian, and pretended to reprimand: "If the talk is not good, you can continue the talk, but if you are so rude, don't you lose the face of the lord?"

Sun Qian felt relieved, and apologized to Yuan Shu: "I will be impatient in the next moment, and I will lose my position. I hope the general will forgive me."

Yuan Shu also didn't want to lose this opportunity to blackmail, so he nodded slightly and revealed the matter.

Next, it entered the stage of bargaining, and Yuan Shu and Sun Qian were all red-faced.

After a fierce confrontation, the two sides finally reached an agreement that Xuzhou would pay half, that is, 30 people, and Yuan Shu promised that as long as Liu Bei was the master of Xuzhou, he would not send troops to attack Xuzhou.

Seeing that the two reached an agreement, Mi Zhu was secretly surprised, not because he had any opinion on the terms of the two parties, but because Sun Qian directly agreed to Yuan Shu's conditions. 30 people is not a small number. With Sun Qian's position, he should It is impossible to make decisions.

How did Mi Zhu know that Liu Bei had discussed with Sun Qian and Chen Deng many times before he was sent as an envoy. With Tao Qian as a lesson learned from the past, the three believed that Yuan Shu had a huge desire for the population.

Liu Bei's bottom line is 50. Within this range, Sun Qian can make his own decisions.

After thinking about it for a while, Mi Zhu understood, and laughed in his heart: "It seems that I have been completely alienated."

Liu Bei and Mi Zhu didn't even mention such an important matter, and his intentions can be seen.

Yuan Shu and Sun Qian naturally didn't know what Mi Zhu was thinking. After the agreement was reached, both of them felt a burst of excitement. Yuan Shu was excited to succeed in ripping off the stick, while Sun Qian was excited to fulfill Liu Bei's entrustment, and he overfulfilled (the bottom line is 50, only go to 30).

"Tao Qian moved the people before, but confiscated his family property. I don't want to see such a scene again this time; and don't look for the old, weak, sick and disabled to make up for it, otherwise... hehe!" Yuan Shu called Sun Gan in advance. Inoculation', last time he was tricked by Tao Qian, who confiscated all the people's property, and filled a lot of old and weak people, which caused him to spend a lot of money and food, and just settled 60 people.

Sun Qian said solemnly: "Don't worry, General! Since my Lord has agreed to the terms of the General, he will definitely keep his promise."

"That's the best!" Yuan Shu nodded slightly.

The matter came to an end here, and Yuan Shu was planning to hold a banquet to entertain them, but Mi Zhu and Sun Qian had their own ideas and really had no intention of going to the banquet, so they rejected Yuan Shu's kindness.

Yuan Shu did not insist on staying, and let the two leave.

"It turns out that pies will fall from the sky!" Yuan Shu said with a smile all over his face.
