Chapter 937 The Deal Is Concluded, Ready to Hold Back
Chapter 937 The deal is concluded, ready to hold back
When Zhang Yu appeared, he took the lead and asked Cao Cao to call the prince.
This Cao Cao also wants to be king, after all, so many people have already become king, so there is no problem for him to be king.
Zhang Yu and Yuan Shao were both kings, and he did not lose to them. Not being king was no longer worthy of his status.
But before Cao Cao dealt with it well, he hadn't had time to become king yet.
"King of Bohai, that's right, then call you King of Bohai." Cao Cao shouted twice and then said: "The prime minister knows that you don't want me to get Jizhou, but the prime minister wants to know why you suddenly made trouble. Negotiations are no longer negotiating."
Cao Cao asked very straightforwardly. He deeply understood that it was useless to communicate with Zhang Yu so much. Sometimes Zhang Yu didn't care about face.
"Haha, I wanted to negotiate at first, but I didn't think about it later." Zhang Yu laughed twice, then became serious and said: "I don't accept threats, and I try to get Sun Ce to put pressure on me. Why should I be afraid, no Just fighting, my army has never been afraid."
Cao Cao was surprised that Zhang Yu's reaction was caused by his own arrangement.
But Cao Cao didn't regret it, and he was completely right to do so.
"My lord, now I want to renegotiate with you, what should I do?" Cao Cao said.
"Cao Mengde, it's not a good time to negotiate with me now, you will be slaughtered."
The two of them didn't need any false tricks, they just negotiated in plain language.
"Whatever the conditions are proposed, accept it if you can accept it, and go back and continue fighting if you can't accept it." Cao Cao said.
Cao Cao felt that he was not a hero, but a businessman, negotiating business with Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu knew that he couldn't play any tricks with others, so it was best to come and go directly.
"Haha, it's easy to say, this king is greedy, so naturally he wants money and land. As long as Jizhou cedes two counties to me, you can go to other places by yourself. The other thing is money." Zhang Yu said.
Giving up the two counties, this Bohai County was defeated by him, and it is still his own fiefdom, which is not counted.
Cao Cao's expression didn't change much.
He said: "Okay, I'll go back and study it, and I will give you an accurate answer within two days."
"Yes, but before an agreement is reached, this king will not stop." Zhang Yu said.
"Whatever you want, the Prime Minister will not be afraid of you." Cao Cao said.
Is it true that Cao Cao is at a disadvantage, but the food and grass are not enough, otherwise he will directly fight Zhang Yu on both sides.
Fighting on two fronts seems to be very dangerous, but it is not. Zhang Yu will not fight him to the death at this time.
At worst, Cao Cao will fight Zhang Yu first, and then attack Jizhou after he stabilizes the situation.
At worst, recover your energy and come back after you have stocked up on food and grass.
Judging from the number of troops, etc., this Cao Cao is not much worse than Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu's strength is strong, but too scattered.
The two didn't talk much and left directly.
Cao Cao's face changed when he went back, and he was no longer chatting with Zhang Yu.
Cao Cao didn't expect that Zhang Yu would be so "stubborn", so he used Sun Ce to put pressure on him, but in exchange for Zhang Yu's fierce counterattack.
At first he thought he knew Zhang Yu well enough, but at this time Cao Cao felt that he didn't know Zhang Yu well enough, and that Zhang Yu was sometimes not mercenary.
"Father." Cao Ang personally led 30,000 soldiers to meet Cao Cao, and hurried to meet him when he came back.
Cao Cao explained to Cao Ang and others the reason for Zhang Yu's sudden violent reaction, and everyone was also very speechless.
No one expected Zhang Yu to be in such a situation.
After Cao Cao returned, he called Cao Ang, Xun You and Jia Xu.
"Zhang Yu wants two counties, which can be given, but he also needs money, which may be a lot. If he can win Jizhou, he can accept it. I'm afraid Zhang Yu will cause more troubles." Cao Cao said.
The two counties, anyway, are counties that he can't get, so what if they give up to Zhang Yu.
Money, I can give it myself. Compared with the military expenditure paid, this is nothing. The wealth of Jizhou can make up for it soon.
But if it is said that Jizhou can be obtained in this way, Cao Cao will do it immediately.
"Is there a countermeasure?"
All three of them thought about it, and they couldn't be taken advantage of.
Zhang Yu is famous for being trusted, but he is also very good at taking advantage of loopholes.
Cao Cao felt that he could not buy much time.
"My lord, we should negotiate. Even if we can win for a month, it is enough for us to adjust our strategy. If we can't win the whole Jizhou, we need to win a few more counties." Xun You said.
Cao Cao nodded and looked at Jia Xu, asking Jia Xu to express his opinion.
Jia Xu pondered for a while before saying: "Master, Zhang Yu's recovery time is getting shorter and shorter. If we want to compete with him in the future, we also need to have the strength to recover quickly."
"Subordinates suggest negotiating with Zhang Yu, take the opportunity to take down a few more wealthy counties, strengthen our recovery ability, and at the same time vigorously develop our own territory, otherwise we will not be able to compete with Zhang Yu."
Cao Cao made a decision after listening. He was preparing to negotiate while preparing to attack.
Of course, it was just to get the army ready, and he would never dare to mess around until the results came out.
After thinking for two days, Cao Cao wrote to Zhang Yu, asking Zhang Yu to attack the two counties by himself. Cao Cao would not interfere, but he would not help him either.
In addition, Zhang Yu can be given 20 million yuan, which is just a gift, without any name.
Cao Cao can't give compensation or military expenses. He didn't lose, it was just a transaction.
Zhang Yu immediately agreed after receiving the letter, but there were disagreements on the time limit and other conditions.
Cao Cao asked Zhang Yu not to cross several places within half a year, and not to attack his own territory for no reason.
"Half a year? I can adjust it in three months at most." Zhang Yu directly rejected Cao Cao's conditions.
After a lot of stretching, Cao Cao shortened it by two months.
These Zhang Yu saw something.
"Heh, what is Cao Cao's bottom line? How much time can he accept?" Zhang Yu didn't know what Cao Cao's plan was.
Two counties, plus Bohai County, Zhang Yu can occupy three counties in Jizhou, plus 20 million dollars, in fact, Zhang Yu is acceptable, even half a year.
"Heh, four months is four months. When the money is in hand, I have a way to punish you." Zhang Yu accepted Cao Cao's conditions.
For four months, they will not attack other places in Jizhou, nor will they attack Cao Cao's territory, unless Cao Cao attacks him first.
A few days later, the two sides reached an agreement.
Cao Cao readily gave the money.
"Cao Mengde, if I hold you back, you can rest and win the entire Jizhou."
Now Jizhou is not without a little strength, they still have many cities to defend, and the Yuan brothers are also united.
Cao Cao personally supervised the completion of the transaction with Zhang Yu, and then hurried to the front line, preparing to attack Jizhou quickly.
"If you can take Yecheng, this deal is worth it." Cao Cao thought in his heart. To read books on this site, please use the latest domain name
