Chapter 704 Spending Money to Buy Peace

The situation in Jingzhou is more complicated, unlike other places that are controlled by a party of princes.

As far as Jingzhou is controlled by Liu Biao and several aristocratic families, Liu Biao cannot completely control Jingzhou, and the same is true for other aristocratic families.

This is also why the princes of Jingzhou competed for it later.

After Liu Biao and others called the staff over, they asked people to help him up.

At this time his body was still very weak.

Supported by two guards, Liu Biao appeared in the hall.

"Zhang Yu must be allowed to leave as soon as possible, and one of you will talk to him." Liu Biao said.

He couldn't take it anymore.

There must be a compromise, if Zhang Yu continues to toss, he may be tossed to death by Zhang Yu.

Although everyone looked filled with righteous indignation, they were actually very happy in their hearts.

They don't want Zhang Yu to continue to toss.

If you can spend money to solve it, spend money to solve it.

Anyway, they don't need to pay the money.

Liu Biao asked someone to negotiate with Zhang Yu, which went smoothly, and someone took the initiative to invite Ying.

Set the tone for the negotiation.

Zhang Yu had already offered a price, 100 million yuan, and supplies such as grain and grass.

"We can only give 80 million yuan at most, and let them deal with the food and grass by themselves," Liu Biao said.

His staff led the way.

The staff member went out of the city gate under the guard of the army, and then went to Zhang Yu's camp.

Zhang Yu naturally knew the movement of the city gate.

When the messenger arrived outside the camp, no one else was allowed to enter, and he had to go in alone.

Although going in could not protect his safety, it was a kind of dignity. When a big man came out, he had to bring a few entourages with him, but Zhang Yu didn't let them bring them.

In the end protests were of course futile.

After entering, Zhang Yu didn't make things difficult for him.

"Sit down, I don't know what instructions Liu Jingzhou has." Zhang Yu said.

The staff didn't dare to be so casual, and obediently greeted him, after all, Zhang Yu was officially named a prince by a big man.

"I, Jingzhou, have a vast land and rich resources, outstanding people, and Liu Jingzhou is even more..."

"Stop." The other party was about to make a long speech, but Zhang Yu immediately stopped and said, "Let's talk about the terms directly. There is no one else here, so there is no need to say these polite words."

The emissary was very uncomfortable and was interrupted at the beginning.

"My lord Liu Jingzhou wants to reconcile with the prince. It was a misunderstanding before. We can..."

"If Liu Jingzhou is willing to agree to my conditions, I will leave the camp and return to Jiangdong the next day after I receive the items, and I will never do anything wrong to Jingzhou." Zhang Yu didn't want to listen to that man's nonsense, and interrupted again.

"Eighty million dollars. There are no other conditions. After getting the money, you must leave within three days." The messenger was interrupted twice, suddenly became nervous, and directly said the bottom line.

"Okay, 80 million yuan. When we get the money, we will stay for a day at most to pack our things, and then leave Jingzhou immediately." Zhang Yu said.

With an income of 80 million yuan, Zhang Yu is also satisfied. Anyway, it takes both sides. Cai Hao has already got the money and shipped it back directly in Jiangxia.

Zhang Yu didn't have much time, and he didn't want to delay with Liu Biao. Negotiations would take a long time.

The emissary was quite speechless, not showing his talents.

I became a servant to convey the news, very helpless.

And he gave Zhang Yu the bottom line as soon as he came, and Zhang Yu was even more direct, and immediately made a decision.

The process was tortuous and changeable, at least the emissary thought so, because he was interrupted twice, and suddenly felt that Zhang Yu was very unreasonable.

The envoy went back, and then he went back, without even giving him a sip of tea.

Just to convey the news by himself, and then go back. This is a servant who conveys the news, not like a messenger at all.

The emissary didn't dare to go back like this, how to explain when he went back.

The messenger went back slowly, trying to delay the time as much as possible.

Zhang Yu naturally didn't care what the envoy thought.

"It's no wonder that Liu Biao suffered such a miserable defeat. His family fortune was almost lost. What kind of aides are he looking for?"

Looking at the envoy's appearance, Zhang Yu knew that Liu Biao had no talents.

This man is a messenger, but he doesn't know the situation at all,

When he came to Zhang Yu's place, he even had to talk to Zhang Yu at length about the reasoning.

And he doesn't have any skills at all, he just looks like a useless old man.

Zhang Yu dismissed it easily, and he didn't have so much time to waste.

It has been a long time since I left Jiang Dongning, and being away from my own territory for a long time is not good for development.

This time Zhang Yu has to go back in a hurry.

If not, Zhang Yu would not let Liu Biao go easily, and would have to go through a lot of trouble anyway.

After the envoy returned, he made up a random story about how he reasoned with Zhang Yu and how Zhang Yu was such a lion, and finally he was persuaded by himself, and he agreed to leave as long as 80 million yuan.

It also explained that Zhang Yu had to collect the money for five days before leaving, but he was forced to leave the next day.

In this way, the envoy also received many rewards from Liu Biao.

In fact, Liu Biao didn't care to listen to what the envoy had to say, he was so exhausted that he couldn't hear clearly, and finally went back after rewarding him.

At the end of the negotiation between the two parties, no treaty was signed at all, only an oral agreement.

However, in the middle of the night, Liu Biao still asked people to send the money to the barracks.

Choosing midnight is also Liu Biao's consideration.

Liu Biao was afraid of embarrassment and would never accept Zhang Yu's blackmail.

Now there is no way, so I choose to do transactions at night.

This is why Liu Biao only gave money and no other materials.

If food and grass are added, it will be a large convoy, which cannot be covered up at all.

Zhang Yu doesn't care about this, Liu Biao keeps it a secret if he wants to, and he doesn't need to publicize it, just keep silent and make a fortune.

In fact, Zhang Yu had already started to clean up. After dispatching Dian Wei and Han Dong, he packed some things.

After getting the money in the middle of the night, Zhang Yu ordered to start packing the next morning.

In fact, it is also very fast to pack up. Each army is responsible for its own things, packed up and loaded into the car, and can set off in the prescribed order.

They march all year round, and they do this very well, very quickly.

They were packed before noon.

After packing up, Zhang Yu didn't stop, and immediately gave the order to set off.

Zhang Yu finally left, the aristocratic families in Xiangyang applauded, but the common people still lived their lives without any reaction.

When the news reached the State Shepherd's Mansion, Liu Biao got up quickly and returned to the main hall with the support of the guards.

Everyone was not happy, but very nervous.

The messengers came in and out, relaying Zhang Yu's movements.

What Liu Biao was most afraid of at this time was that Zhang Yu would pretend to leave and kill his carbine.

But one or two hours passed, and Zhang Yu kept leaving without any plans to turn back.

But they dare not relax easily.

Let the scouts follow all the time, the army in the city only slightly relaxed the martial law, and some of them rested in the barracks without leaving Xiangyang.

Liu Biao didn't dare to relax until he knew that Zhang Yu and the others were far away after a day.

After Zhang Yu struggled for a month, Liu Biao's mental state was very poor and he lost several catties.
