Chapter 435: Collecting Money on Two Sides
Zhang Yu's appetite is not a question of money, but a direct request for land, not a small land, but a county.
Liaoxi County, next to Liaodong County, was better developed than Liaodong County before.
Now it is also a well-developed county.
And Zhang Yu directly wanted the territory of a county.
At this time, Western Liaoning was under the control of Gongsun Zan and was an important county.
"General Zhang, you don't have to do anything. I'll go back and tell my lord that I will give you 10 million yuan first, and I will give you another 10 million yuan later. What do you think?" Gongsun Fan said.
Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "As I said, I'm not short of money, besides, someone sent me a large sum of money just now."
Gongsun Fan's face changed slightly, Zhang Yu must be talking about Liu Yu's emissary.
Before, Gongsun Fan guessed that Liu Yu had come to ask for help, and it was true.
"General Zhang, even if you intervene, it may not be able to change the situation, and in the end the gains may outweigh the losses. You don't have to do anything. As long as you don't help each other, you can get a lot of benefits. Why not do it?" Gongsun Fan was neither humble nor overbearing. , half threatening, half persuading.
"Haha, I in Liaodong are not even afraid of Wuhuan and the Huns, and I, Zhang Yu, have been afraid of anyone. If you can't come up with a price that makes my heart beat, then there is no need to talk about it. I, Zhang Yu, am not a beggar, and I can't be paid with a few dollars." Yes." Zhang Yu laughed loudly.
The corners of Gongsun Fan's mouth twitched, do you have 20 million yuan to pay the beggar?
You know, it took them a long time to collect the 20 million yuan to get it for Zhang Yu, but when it came to Zhang Yu, they were not satisfied at all.
Gongsun Fan wanted to threaten Zhang Yu, but Zhang Yu was very direct and threatened.
If you don't give it, you will call it, so that they can't even get the other counties.
Gongsun Fan was very embarrassed.
Before coming here, both Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Fan had carefully studied Zhang Yu's character, but Zhang Yu loved money, and as long as he gave enough benefits, he would not interfere. It turned out that Zhang Yu had such a big appetite that he directly asked a county for reward.
Gongsun Zan was absolutely sure of killing Liu Yu.
At this time, Zhang Yu wanted to share a piece of the pie, so he was naturally very unwilling.
It’s just that Zhang Yu sent troops to threaten Liu Yu, and Gongsun Zan was afraid of two situations. One was that Liu Yu compromised and asked Zhang Yu for help, and the other was that the talks between the two parties collapsed, and Zhang Yu took the opportunity to invade Liu Yu’s territory. State.
Moreover, Gongsun Zan knew that Zhang Yu was not a short-sighted person, so he would definitely look for opportunities to grab the territory.
Zhang Yu really wanted to snatch the territory, who wouldn't want the territory.
But if it can be obtained in another way, Zhang Yu will not go all out with Liu Yu.
It's really nothing to fight Liu Yu, Zhang Yu can do it all.
But in history, Gongsun Zan's rapid defeat was mainly due to the killing of Liu Yu, which made him quickly lose the popular support in Youzhou, so he lost quickly.
Zhang Yu knew this period of history, so he would not directly attack Liu Yu and grab Liu Yu's territory.
The stalemate between the two sides was completely unacceptable to Gongsun Fan.
But if you don't accept it, there will be huge obstacles.
After a stalemate for a while, Zhang Yu was the first to say: "I can pay for Liaoxi County, and exchange it with 20 million worth of military supplies, including war horses, weapons and armor."
Gongsun Fan was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhang Yu to be willing to pay for it.
What Gongsun Zan was most afraid of was that Zhang Yu would be involved. Looking at Zhang Yu's appearance now, he didn't want to be involved, but he still insisted on asking for territory.
Zhang Yu was willing to pay 20 million yuan to buy Liaoxi County, and Gongsun Fan knew that it was useless to use money to talk about things.
"General Zhang, give me five days, and I will reply to you in five days."
Gongsun Fan really couldn't make the decision, and he also knew that he couldn't subdue Zhang Yu, so he could only ask Gongsun Zan to pay attention.
Zhang Yu asked him to go out with one hand.
The arrival of Gongsun Fan was completely unexpected.
Zhang Yu immediately realized the benefits, so he immediately asked for the territory.
And Zhang Yu is sure to go to the territory.
Grab it if you don't give it to yourself, and directly send troops to threaten Gongsun Zan.
Zhang Yu will not directly attack Liu Yu,
But he was not at all afraid of Gongsun Zan attacking Zhang Yu.
"My lord, Liu Yu's envoy is asking to see you." Dian Wei came in and said to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu laughed, very happy.
"Haha, someone has paid for the purchase of Liaoxi." Zhang Yu didn't expect that Liu Yu's envoy hadn't left yet, wouldn't this be sent to his door again to be slaughtered?
"Please, quickly invite our rich man in." Zhang Yu said jokingly.
After a while, the soldiers invited Liu Yu's envoy in.
"General Zhang, I don't know why Gongsun Fan came here? The matter you said before has been exposed, but it still counts." The messenger said.
"Do the math, do the math, 15 million, I will never mention Liu Yu's treatment of me before." Zhang Yu said.
Zhang Yu agreed so readily, but Liu Yu's envoy was not at ease.
"Then General Zhang, you won't use troops against my lord in the future?" the messenger asked.
This matter is too important, he dare not have any loopholes for Zhang Yu to take advantage of.
"Did I promise you that?" Zhang Yu asked back?
"You?" The envoy was impatient. Zhang Yu wanted to use troops against Liu Yu after receiving the money, so why would he still pay the money?
"General Zhang, how can you agree to never use troops against my lord?" Liu Yu's envoy said.
"Of course the bid is higher than the other party's." Zhang Yu said with eyes wide open.
"How much is the other party paying?" Liu Yu envoy asked.
"Thirty million, I will directly give your quotation to Gongsun Fan, and he will double it directly." Zhang Yu said.
"Impossible? Thirty million, absolutely not." Liu Yu's envoy said in shock.
Directly doubled, this price is too great.
"You're wrong, it's not 30 million, but the other party offered 30 million." Zhang Yu corrected.
Liu Yu's envoy took a few breaths before calming down.
Now it is very difficult for Liu Yu to deal with Gongsun Zan's family. If Zhang Yu is added, the situation will be even more difficult.
Liu Yu absolutely cannot deal with both of them at the same time.
"I will give you 40 million, and you will help my lord destroy Gongsun Zan." The messenger said.
"Fuck off, treat me like a fool. Gongsun Zan's condition is 30 million, and he is fully capable of defeating you if you don't help each other." Zhang Yu scolded directly.
This envoy of Liu Yu was also whimsical, and wanted to deal with Gongsun Zan himself.
Gongsun Zan's military strength is not weak, and with Liu Yu, he can defeat him, but his own losses are definitely not small. When Liu Yu defeats Gongsun Zan, how can Zhang Yu use troops against Liu Yu.
It was because Liu Yu occupied the righteousness that Zhang Yu didn't use troops against him, otherwise Liu Yu was so weak, Zhang Yu would directly go into battle and kill Liu Yu himself, wouldn't he make more money.
"Okay, 35 million, you don't help each other." Finally Liu Yu's messenger said helplessly.
Zhang Yu said: "Thirty-five million, plus 200,000 people. Anyway, you have so many refugees now, I kindly help you to collect them."
