People in the Three Kingdoms, start to capture Jiangdong

Liu Biao read it again.

The name sounds a little familiar.

Liu Biao recalled carefully and finally remembered who Gan Ning was.

At first Gan Ning took refuge under Liu Biao's command.

Became a little lieutenant.

Later, Gan Ning felt that Liu Biao did not value him, so he left.

It is said that a group of hundreds of water thieves was formed later, named Jinfan Bandit.

"I really didn't expect that.

Back then, I was a small lieutenant under my command.

He actually became a general under Sun Ce.

The Jiangdong navy led by Gan Ning defeated the Jingzhou navy. "

Liu Biao was a little bit emotional, more regretful.

If he had known that Gan Ning was so awesome and talented.

At the beginning, Liu Biao would definitely use Gan Ning again.

It is a pity that Liu Biao did not reuse Gan Ning, but Sun Ce reused him.

As a result, Gan Ning's talents and abilities shocked the world.

have to say.

It is not without reason that Liu Biao, as a veteran prince, lost to the new prince Sun Ce.

One of the reasons is that Sun Ce is good at discovering and reusing talents.

And Liu Biao can't do it.

There are not many powerful figures among the civil and military officials under his command.

There are a lot of idiots.

Such as Cai Zhong and Chang Bin.

As a general, he even abandoned his soldiers, and twice.

Not fit to be a general at all.

Liu Biao's vision is not good either.

People like Cai Zhong and Chang Bin were actually appointed as generals.

"Your general sent you to see me, do you have anything to say?"

Liu Biao stared at Li Ergou and asked.

"My general asked me to give you a letter."

Li Ergou replied.

As he spoke, Li Ergou took out a top-secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Liu Biao.

After Liu Biao took it, his eyes were fixed.

The top-secret letter actually wrote the seven words "Yangzhou Musun Ce's own handwriting".

"It seems that this letter was not given to me by Gan Ning, but by Sun Ce."

Liu Biao thought secretly, but his hands were not slow, and he opened the top-secret letter.

Liu Biao looked at them line by line.

At first, there was joy on his face, but then it gradually became ugly.

After Liu Biao finished reading, he calmed down his expression.

He said to Li Ergou.

"Go back first and tell General Gan Ning.

The things mentioned in the letter are relatively large, and I need to think carefully.

But please rest assured, I will definitely give Sun Ce a reply within three days. "

Li Ergou nodded, saluted Liu Biao, and then turned back to Jiaolong.

Soon, Gan Ning knew Liu Biao's words, and he said with a smile.

"The old thief Liu Biao wants three days, so I'll give him three days."

If three days later, Liu Biao's answer would be refusal.

Then Gan Ning will be very excited, because it means that there is a battle to fight.

Sun Ce once said.

Liu Biao didn't pay compensation to negotiate a peace, so he called him to negotiate a peace.

He even took this opportunity to take Jingzhou down.

Even if we launch an all-out war against Jingzhou, we will face pressure from Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others.

Sun Ce didn't care either.

After all, Sun Ce gave Liu Biao a step down.

Liu Biao doesn't want it.

Then Sun Ce didn't have to give him face, he just slapped him in the face.

Sun Ce is so domineering and powerful!

Liu Biao sent Li Ergou away.

He led Jingzhou civil and military officials back to Xiangyang.

When he arrived at the State Shepherd's Mansion, Liu Biao said straight to the point.

"One good news, one bad news.

The good news is that Sun Ce proposed a peace.

The bad news is that Sun Ce's peace talks are conditional.

His lion opened his mouth wide.

Ask me for 20 shi of grain, 5 taels of gold, and [-] jin of iron and copper.

Two hundred excellent carpenters, blacksmiths and other craftsmen.

He also admitted that Jiang Xia belonged to Sun Ce and could not send troops to take it back.

If not, he will attack Jingzhou in an all-round way.

How do you guys think we should reply to Sun Ce? "

"20 shi of grain, 5 taels of gold, and [-] catties of iron and copper.

Two hundred excellent carpenters, blacksmiths and other craftsmen.

Also admit that Jiang Xia is owned by Sun Ce and not send troops to take it back?

Isn't Sun Ce's appetite a little too big? "

The faces of civil and military officials were moved when they heard the words.

Everyone was a little shocked by the terms of Sun Ce's peace negotiation.

Even Cai Mao and Kuai Yue changed color slightly.

The Cai family and the Kuai family are the two great aristocratic families in Jingzhou.

But wanting to take out so many resources is also heartbreaking.

It's okay to say that there are two hundred excellent carpenters, blacksmiths and other craftsmen.

In the eyes of Cai Mao and other high-ranking people, it is of little value, so just give it.

As for Jiang Xia, Sun Ce has already occupied him.

It's hard to get it back.

It is not impossible to just recognize Sun Ce's right to rule.

Only 20 shi of grain, 5 taels of gold, and [-] catties of iron and copper are extremely precious.

Not to mention 20 shi of grain.

What is the most precious in troubled times?

Soldiers and food!

Without food, how can we fight and fight for hegemony?

Historically, Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao in the Battle of Guandu.

why?

Wasn't it precisely because Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shao's granary Wuchao that Yuan Shao was defeated?

It can be seen the importance of food in troubled times.

20 shi of grain is a huge sum of money.

It can feed [-] troops for a year.

As for the 5 taels of gold and [-] jin of iron and copper that Sun Ce wanted.

is equally precious.

Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times.

One sentence shows the importance of gold.

Iron and copper are materials for making weapons and are military supplies.

Due to the limitation of metallurgical technology in this era, [-] jin of iron and copper is already a lot.
