380 Shameless Blackmail 2
As soon as Kuai Liang finished speaking, Fu Xun continued, "Lord, Cai Mao, Huang Zu and others are too obscene to judge, and they dare to send troops privately on their backs. What is this behavior? Big Xiong is the court official, and they actually sent troops to chase and kill him. Is this a serious crime of beheading? If they don't punish them, what is the prestige of the lord? Everyone can mobilize their troops at will in the future. This precedent is not good."
After hearing this, Liu Biao thought, would I dare to punish? The Jingzhou army is basically controlled by the Cai family and the Huang family. Once punished, can I still stay in Jingzhou? "Everyone, it's not a matter of negotiating punishment. At present, the most important thing is how to explain to Big Bear. This big Bear is indeed not easy to mess with. If this matter is not handled properly, then Big Bear has a legitimate reason to start a war with our army. Now Big Bear has announced to us that it is in a state of war with our Jingzhou. The big Bear in the north is basically pacified, but he has the ability to draw troops to attack our Jingzhou.
Oh, in the past we didn't know that Big Bear had a naval army. Now it seems that the strength of Big Bear's naval army cannot be underestimated. Since he has a naval army, he has the ability to transport soldiers to Jiangnan to fight. Besides, Lu Kang in Lujiang has such a good relationship with him. Lujiang is his bridgehead. He can use troops from Lujiang to Jiangxia. Once Jiangxia loses, the entire Jingzhou will face his attack at any time. By then, it will be difficult for us to deal with. You all tell me what can we do to reconcile."
After hearing Liu Biao's words, Kuai Yue shook his head and said slowly: "My lord, this matter is really difficult to deal with. We have no reason at all. If we really want to reconcile, we can only rely on a lot of money to clear and compensate. This compensation can only be done with gold, jewelry, and other things Big Bear will not want, and we have nothing to attract Big Bear."
After listening to his younger brother's words, Kuai Liang continued, "Master, I heard from him when I was chatting with Daxiong. He originally wanted to sign a trade agreement between the two parties with you when he came to Jingzhou. However, due to the unhappiness at the banquet, Daxiong gave up signing a trade agreement with the lord. I think if the lord was willing to spend money, there is still hope of reconciliation with Daxiong. After all, Daxiong did not want to be an enemy with Jingzhou. This was all a disaster caused by Cai Mao, Huang Zu and others."
After hearing Kuai Liang's words, Liu Biao felt a little relaxed. "Zirou, do you think that using money can really solve this problem?"
Kuai Liang glanced at Liu Biao and said, "It should be solved."
Liu Biao continued: "How much gold and jewelry are there?"
After hearing this, Kuai Liang shook his head and said, "I don't know this. It's probably not a small amount. The specific amount is needed. It must be sent to negotiate with Daxiong. Of course, this time it was their own behavior. The money should be paid by their families, and they should also pay, especially the Cai family. Cai Mao is still in the hands of Daxiong. If he doesn't pay, Cai Mao will be beheaded by Daxiong. The Cai family will not sit still and wait for death in such a matter, and will definitely come forward to coordinate."
After hearing this, Yi Ji said, "General Cai and others are too bold and reckless. My opinion is that they don't have to worry about their lives or death. Just keep reconciled with Da Xiong."
Liu Biao thought to himself, can Cai Mao do whatever he wants? His wife has already quarreled with him. Besides, the current Jingzhou soldiers are basically controlled by the Cai family and the Huang family. If Cai Mao does not save him, how can his Jingzhou army control him? Besides, Cai Mao is also a general, and he is also the most loyal general. Without the support of the Cai family, how can I control Jingzhou? You said this too easily.
Kuai Yue was also thinking in his heart that if Cai Mao was not saved, if Cai Mao was killed by Big Bear, Jingzhou would definitely be in chaos. "Lord, General Cai still needs to be rescued. He is the general of the Jingzhou army. He has a great influence in the Jingzhou army. If something happens to General Cai, it will cause a mutiny from the soldiers. At that time, the problem will be even more troublesome. Anyway, you don't need to spend money on the lord, so you can do what Big Bear said."
After hearing Kuai Yue's words, Liu Biao was very happy and really wanted to go on and kiss Kuai Yue. "Zhongye, Daxiong proposed to exchange Wei Yan. Who is this Wei Yan? Any position in our army now? Is there any person?"
After hearing this, Wen Pin shook his head and said, "Lord, I have never heard of someone named Wei Yan. Maybe it's just an ordinary soldier as Big Bear said. Maybe what does this person have to do with Big Bear? It's just that we don't know."
After hearing this, Liu Biao said, "Zhongye, you must immediately look for someone named Wei Yan in the entire army."
Wen Pin replied: "It's the lord, I'll go and handle it right away."
Liu Biao said to everyone again: "Who should I send to negotiate with Big Bear? I think it would be better for Yuzirou to go to Bingzhou in person. After all, you personally held a banquet for Big Bear this time and had a little friendship with him. It would be easier to negotiate. Big Bear would also like to make more concessions for your sake."
After hearing this, Kuai Liang said, "It's the lord."
The day after the war ended, Lu Ning and Zhou Yu, Da, Xiao Qiao, Huang Yueying and Dian Wei chatted on the deck of the warship. Lu Ning glanced at Zhou Yu and said, "Gongjin, it is very happy to know you. It is the happiest thing for me to visit the Yangtze River and Jingzhou with you. I will remember our happy trip. We will be separated in a few days. I don't know when we will meet next time. Maybe we will only meet on the battlefield. This is just a trick of fate. We cannot control the development of history, and we will not expect what will happen in the future. If we really meet on the battlefield, I sincerely hope that Gongjin will use all your skills and we will fight happily. No matter who loses or who wins, you Gongjin is one of the people I admire very much in this life."
After hearing Lu Ning's words, Zhou Yu also sincerely said to Lu Ning: "Yes, good times are always so short. This time, I will miss Ziyi and the two Miss Qiao and Jingzhou. I will also miss it for life. During the short days of spending time with Ziyi, I have gained a lot of knowledge, learned a lot of things that cannot be learned in books, and also allowed me to personally experience the strength of the North Big Bear Army. If one day I really meet Ziyi on the battlefield, I will definitely live up to Ziyi's hope."
After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed. Zhou Yu was Zhou Yu. Facing such a powerful army, he was not timid, but full of heroism. Huang Yueying, who had heard the conversation between Lu Ning and Zhou Yu, said: "Brother Ziyi, then can't you and Mr. Zhou avoid meeting on the battlefield? You two get along so well and have a close relationship as close as brothers. Can't you cooperate?"
After hearing this, Xiao Qiao also smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhou, you said that the soldiers under my elder brother are all elite troops. Why can't you go to my elder brother to develop? If you go, you can also lead the elite troops to fight, and you two will definitely cooperate well."
After hearing this, Lu Ning thought to himself, how is this possible? Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's best friend and brother, and they will not be separated. Zhou Yu glanced at Lu Ning and said helplessly: "I also hope to cooperate with Ziyi, but some things cannot be achieved."
Lu Ning looked at Zhou Yu and knew his bitterness, so he said to him: "Gongjin, please help me command the soldiers to defeat the Jingzhou navy quickly and neatly. After thinking for a night, I decided to give you a big gift."
Zhou Yu was also happy after hearing Lu Ning's words. He didn't know what gift it was, but when he saw Lu Ning's smiling face, he knew it should be a good thing. "I don't know what big gift Ziyi wants to give me. Can I bear it?"
Lu Ning laughed after hearing this. "Gongjin, this time I went to Jingzhou. On the one hand, I wanted to visit, and on the other hand, I was forced to escape by Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, so I had no choice but to escape. Lord Lu wanted to hand over his Lujiang to me, but the time is not ripe. I don't want to accept it, but he forced me to accept it all day long. You also know that once I take over Lujiang, I must take it into my pocket for the six counties of Jiangdong, otherwise only one Lujiang will be a burden for me. Once I intervene in Jiangdong, your righteous brother Sun Bofu has no hope, and the grand blueprint for the world that you two have agreed to fight for. Now that we are getting along like this,
Okay, as close as brothers, I will give you the six counties of Jiangdong now, which is my gift to you. But I want to make it clear here that although the six counties of Jiangdong are given to you now, it does not mean that I will not take the six counties of Jiangdong in the future. If the conditions are ripe, I will also take the six counties of Jiangdong without hesitation. There is another thing, please tell Sun Bofu that he will never be able to attack Lujiang, otherwise I will let him die at all costs without a place to bury him, and even let him disappear in this world. Is the reason? Lu Kang's nephew Lu Xun is my adopted son." After saying that, Lu Ning laughed loudly, and a domineering aura appeared.
After hearing this, Zhou Yu teased Lu Ning and said, "Ziyi, aren't you talking empty words? The six counties in Jiangdong are not under your jurisdiction now. They are all in the hands of others. The gift you gave me is just empty words. Besides, you still want to take it back in the future, so what you gave out will still be taken back? Is this still a gift?"
After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed even more. "With the ability of Gongjin and Sun Bofu, wouldn't it be easy to collect the six counties of Jiangdong? Think about it, if I don't give it to you, if I just put five thousand naval troops on the Yangtze River, can you and Sun Bofu cross the Yangtze River? Will you have a place to stay? Where is your foundation? You will never be under Yuan Shu's tent for life. If you can be under others for a long time, then it will not be Sun Bofu."
After hearing this, Zhou Yu thought, I can't accept your gift now. If you really set up some water army in the Yangtze River, then Bo Fu and I will really sigh in the river. But in this way, I, Zhou Yu, apologize for your great favor. What did you ask me to repay you? "Thank you for Ziyi's great gift." After Zhou Yu finished speaking, he bowed to Lu Ning ninety degrees and gave a big gift.
After returning the gift, Lu Ning glanced at Zhou Yu and saw that he looked depressed and looked very happy. He finally figured out that he had once. "Gongjin, I still want to give you two more words, but I am afraid that you will be too careless, so I have been stuck in my heart and I haven't said it."
Zhou Yu thought, if you have something good to say, I probably want to plot against me again. "Ziyi, just say whatever you have, I will listen carefully."
Lu Ning thought about it and said, "Gongjin, we are as close as brothers, so I said it straightforwardly. Are you and Sun Bofu really good partners? Your strength is to give advice, especially leading troops to fight, and Sun Bofu is also a very good general. His strength is to lead troops to fight, and there is not much complementarity between you; even if you are three strategies at one step, it depends on whether Sun Bofu listens to your plan. If it is long-term cooperation, will you really not have any problems? If it is you,
If I am here, I will only let you lead troops to fight. I will not interfere with all your military operations. I will only be your logistics minister. Moreover, after you arrive at me, the target of your army to conquer overseas, not within the territory of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, I will definitely make you famous in history, remember for generations, and become a famous general. I just hope that Gongjin will think a little bit, every step you take is very critical now. If you don’t walk well, no matter how talented you are, you may only be unknown for a lifetime, or even lose your life sooner."
Zhou Yu was also very moved after hearing Lu Ning's heartfelt words. He glanced at Lu Ning and asked Lu Ning again: "What kind of person is Sun Bofu in Ziyi's eyes?"
Didn’t you ask Lu Ning to evaluate Sun Ce? Do Lu Ning dare to tell you the truth? "Sun Bofu is extremely brave, heroic and straightforward, and is also a hero of a generation, but his shortcomings are also very fatal, which determines that he will not go very far."
When Zhou Yu heard this, he immediately said, "That Ziyi said Bofu has any fatal shortcomings?"
After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled at Zhou Yu, but did not answer his question, and there was no need for Lu Ning to answer this question. Seeing that Lu Ning was unwilling to say it, Da Qiao immediately said to Lu Ning and others: "Brother, why are you always talking about these irrelevant gossips with Master Zhou? Forgot the three beauties in front of you. Wouldn't you say something more pleasant?"
Lu Ning looked at Da Qiao with a very grateful look and blinked at her. Xiao Qiao next to him also said, "That's big brother, your conversation is so boring. Please ask Mr. Zhou to play the piano for us. It will not be easy to hear his piano again in the future."
Zhou Yu was stunned after hearing this. What was going on? "Ms. Qiao, you live in Wancheng, we should have a chance to meet again. Why do you say that you don't have the chance to hear my piano again? Is Miss Qiao unwilling to see you again?"
After hearing this, Da Qiao laughed and said to Zhou Yu: "Young Master Zhou doesn't know anything. Our family is going to move to Jinyang City to live. My brother said that Lujiang will be in constant war in the future and it is very unsafe."
Xiao Qiao smiled and said to Zhou Yu: "Mr. Zhou, if you want us to hear your piano often, unless you also move to Jincheng to live, does the young master have this plan?"
After hearing Xiao Qiao's words, Lu Ning really wanted to go up and kiss her. You know so well. He cooperated with me so well, and I don't know if your beauty trick works for Zhou Yu.
After hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Qiao, I have to think about your suggestion before I can decide. Deep down I really want to go, but there are some things that cannot be done. I also have my own difficulties, or I can't help myself."
