Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family married the queen at the beginning

"Zhicai, what happened to Deng Zhan and Shi A?"

Cao Shuo hadn't heard from Deng Zhan and Shi A for several hours, and he couldn't even hear from Chang'an City.

Xi Zhicai replied: "My lord, Dong Zhuo has suddenly strengthened the defense of several checkpoints, and now no one is allowed to pass."

Cao Shuo asked suspiciously, "Is the caravan also okay?"

Xi Zhicai shook his head, now they can only rely on themselves if they want to get out of Dong Zhuo's territory, Jin Yiwei's people can't get out or get in, and it's impossible to give them advice.

Zhao Yun said: "My lord, why don't we take down Hedong County and put some pressure on Dong Zhuo?"

Cao Shuo shook his head and said, "If we attack Hedong County, Lu Bu will definitely take the opportunity to attack us."

He arrested Zhang Liao and others, and Lu Bu's envoys would arrive soon. If he attacked Hedong County at this time, Lu Bu would definitely lead the army and attack from the rear to retaliate.

Xi Zhicai said: "Zhang Liao has been with us for many days, and Lu Bu should have received the news. Presumably his envoy will come here soon."

As soon as Xi Zhicai's words fell, a soldier shouted loudly outside the tent: "Report to my lord, don't drive Mr. Jia Kui to see you in Bingzhou!"

"what?"

The three of them looked at each other, they didn't expect that the emissary would really pick the time.

"Let him in!"

Jia Kui walked into the big tent, saw Cao Shuo, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Jia Kui has seen Marquis Wei."

Cao Shuo said blankly, "Liang Dao thinks that Bingzhou has no future, so he plans to join me in Jizhou?"

"Wei Hou was joking!"

Jia Kui didn't mind at all, Cao Shuo was just joking, if he really wanted to recruit himself, he wouldn't use such tone.

"Then why did Liang Dao come to me?" Cao Shuo played a charade without mentioning Zhang Liao and others.

"Does Marquis Wei not know why I'm here?" Jia Kui looked at Cao Shuo with a smile.

It would be hell if he didn't know what he was coming for.

"I thought Liang Dao was going to abandon the dark and turn to the bright!" Cao Shuo smiled lewdly, making Jia Kui dumbfounded.

If these words reached Lu Bu's ears, I'm afraid he would feel sad again.

"Marquis Wei, let's talk about Zhang Liao and the others."

Jia Kui felt that if he didn't mention a few people, Cao Shuo was going to keep pretending to be fascinated.

"What are you going to exchange them for?"

"This……"

Jia Kui didn't expect Cao Shuo to be so direct, he thought the other party would chat for a while.

"What? You don't want me to let you go right away!"

Cao Shuo's displeasure made Jia Kui feel as if he had lost the initiative.

"Marquis Wei, Bingzhou doesn't have much food and grass, but iron ore is abundant. Why don't we use iron ore to trade?"

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "That's okay, but I heard that Lu Bu has been living in Taiyuan after losing Zhang Liao, Zhang Yang, Wei Yue and others. Could it be that he has no generals available?"

Jia Kui wiped off a cold sweat. Does Cao Shuo mean to raise the price temporarily?

"Wei Hou, my lord just wants to reap the benefits. Shangjun is the best example. Our soldiers returned to our hands without bloodshed."

Jia Kui would not admit that they are short of generals now, otherwise, they would definitely be cheated to death by Cao Shuo.

Zhao Yun said disdainfully: "If you can exaggerate your weakness into an advantage, there is probably only Lu Bu alone in this world."

Xi Zhicai narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "If Lu Bu agrees to hand over the ownership of Hedong County to us, we can consider exchanging it with you."

consider?

Jia Kui looked at the three of them with black lines all over his head, and exchanged one county for a consideration.

Cao Shuo saw Jia Kui in a dilemma, and asked, "Why, do you think it's a loss? Don't forget that Hedong County is in Dong Zhuo's hands!"

Jia Kui replied: "Wei Hou, if we agree, will you really trade with our army?"

Cao Shuo thought for a while and said, "It depends on the wishes of the generals. If they don't want to leave, I can't drive them away, right?"

I've never seen such a fucking brazen person!
Jia Kui was speechless. If anyone expressed his intention to seek refuge, or even ambiguous intentions, Cao Shuo probably would not let him go.

"Wei Hou, can you let me meet some generals?"

Cao Shuo wondered: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, they are all being imprisoned in Dai County!"

Jia Kui glanced at Cao Shuo contemptuously, and refused to let him see. Everyone is smart. Even if Zhang Liao and others were not in Luoyang, they would be imprisoned in Xindu.

You said they were in Dai County, only ghosts would believe it.

"Weihou, tell me a price, so I can go back and explain it to my master."

Cao Shuo looked at Xi Zhicai and asked, "What's the price of iron ore now?"

Xi Zhicai replied, "The iron ore in Bingzhou is relatively poor in quality, about three hundred yuan a catty."

Jia Kui's eyes darkened, and he suddenly felt dizzy in his brain. What does it mean that the iron ore in Bingzhou is of poor quality?Don't you just want to earn a little more, is it worth belittling us?

"Ok?"

Cao Shuo frowned, and said angrily, "Zhicai, you've been slack lately."

Xi Zhicai asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean by my lord's words?"

"Don't you know that I never ask for money when I trade with other princes?"

"This subordinate is negligent for a while, please punish me, my lord!"

Jia Kui felt contempt for a while, you two can play me.

Xi Zhicai took out a bamboo slip, flipped through it for a while, and said, "Our price in Jizhou is one tael of gold in exchange for one hundred catties of iron ore."

"As the saying goes, a thousand gold is easy to get, but a general is hard to find, so let's find an average price. One general is worth 2000 taels of gold. This is already my lowest price."

"So expensive?"
