Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 277

Cheng Huang's conditions were indeed too harsh, and Kong Rong had to jump out to be a peacemaker.

"General Cheng, General Liu, everyone is working for the big man. It was indeed a misunderstanding just now! If something happens, how about we sit down and talk? The two generals will follow me into the city, and we will discuss it carefully."

After listening to Kong Rong's words, Liu Bei nodded in agreement.He was eager to get this matter over quickly.In any case, it was my own fault first, not to mention that Cheng Huang's official position is higher than his own, and he still can't afford to offend him.

Hearing Kong Rong's words, Cheng Huang's face softened a lot, "Since Mr. Kong is willing to be a peacemaker, I, Cheng Huang, am not unreasonable." In fact, Cheng Huang was tough on the surface, but worried in his heart.

Although I expected that Liu Bei would not dare to do anything to me, but if I was in a hurry, the number of my subordinates would not be enough for Liu Bei's army!

At the moment, Liu Bei and Cheng Huang each arranged their own teams.Liu Bei took Guan Yu, Cheng Huang took Tai Shici, and they entered Beihai City with Kong Rong.

"You two generals, the so-called enemies should be settled rather than tied. I hope that the two generals will take a step back in this matter. After all, it is of no benefit to everyone to make this matter big, isn't it?" Kong Rong said after taking his seat.

"Yes, yes!" All the officials also echoed.

"Liu Xuande, since Mr. Kong has spoken, I won't let you kowtow, keep the spirit! Tell yourself what to do!" Cheng Huang said.

"This..." Although Liu Bei had a thick skin, he also showed embarrassment at this time.In this negotiation, he is completely at a disadvantage, and there is no possibility of a comeback.In his heart, he had scolded enough of Wang Teng's eighteen generations of ancestors.If it weren't for that bastard, how could I make such a low-level mistake.

"General Cheng, I believe Xuande also made an unintentional mistake," Kong Rong spoke again! "How about this, Xuande will give General Cheng some monetary compensation, so let's forget about it! What do you think?"

"Master Kong has high morals and high prestige, and his actions are extremely fair. Originally, it is only natural to kill people and pay debts, but seeing that we are colleagues, we may stand together in the court in the future, so I will not embarrass you."

"Well, let's do the math. The average age of our 22 soldiers is 30 years old, and they will serve our territory for 150 years. With my Dongting salary, each person is 350 gold coins per year. The total is 500 million gold coins, plus You can get [-] million gold coins if you pay for their family's mental damage."

Cheng Huang crackled, and in a short while calculated the compensation clearly, which made these civil and military officials speechless.Although they were able to read and write, Cheng Huang was going to beat them a few blocks when it came to this calculation technique.

Liu Bei was startled. Although his Pingyuan country is rich, taking out 500 million gold coins will hurt his muscles and bones!

"Well, General Cheng, see if you can reduce it!" Liu Bei had to lower his posture and whispered in a low voice because of the threatening situation.

"Less," Cheng Huang sneered, "I have [-] soldiers, but that's [-] fresh lives! Their mothers conceived in October and suffered all kinds of hardships before raising them. I will lose my life. I only counted their future value, not the cost of cultivating them, which is already considered cheap for you. Do you still dare to bargain with me?"

Kong Rong saw that Cheng Huang's virtue was well-founded, so he had to say: "General Liu, you should pay the money! As a gentleman, if you make a mistake, you should take responsibility."

Just as Liu Bei was about to speak, he saw a guard walking in hastily. His expression changed because he had already recognized that it was his personal guard who came.

"I report to General Liu that something is wrong. The Heishan Yellow Turban Army has more than [-] soldiers and has besieged Pingyuan County." The guard knelt on one knee, his voice urgent.

"What?" Guan Yu and Liu Bei were startled, and their faces changed drastically. If Pingyuan fell, their lairs would be gone.

"General Cheng, I have something to do in my territory. I have to leave first. Don't worry, I will send someone to Dongting within a month for your 500 million gold coins." I don't mind if Cheng Huang opened his mouth like a lion.

"Okay," Cheng Huang said loudly: "Brother Xuande is indeed rich and powerful, and he is straightforward enough. With Master Kong's testimony here, I believe you will definitely send the gold coins to Dongting on time."

"Master Kong, General Cheng, farewell!" Liu Bei cupped his hands, led Guan Yu out of the City Lord's Mansion in a hurry, and walked away.

"Hehe!" The matter was over, Kong Rong was in a good mood, and immediately sent someone to prepare food and wine to treat Cheng Huang well.

Although he lost [-] newly-acquired yellow scarves, he cheated Liu Bei. Thinking of Liu Bei's deflated appearance, Cheng Huang felt relieved.

At the moment, you are not welcome, and accepted Kong Rong's invitation together with Tai Shici.

After dark, Cheng Huang stayed in Beihai City.Early the next morning, Cheng Huang took his rattan armored soldiers, escorted a large amount of food and grass, joined Guan Hai's team, and headed towards Mount Tai.

Qingzhou...

Liu Bei led the coalition forces, about 40 troops, and hurried to the plain.

He has an ugly face, very ugly, this Cheng Huang is like his nemesis, every time he meets, he will suffer a big somersault.

This time, he let himself lose his army, lose face, and have to pay 500 million gold coins for foreign debts.

Blame that Wang Teng!Although Liu Bei didn't say anything, he had already scolded Wang Teng's eight generations of ancestors like dogs in his heart.

He has decided that when he returns to the territory, he must teach Wang Teng a lesson.

Guan Yu has already led the cavalry and rushed to Pingyuan County.Next to Liu Bei, Zhang Fei walked alongside him.

Zhang Fei's already dark face became even darker, with obvious anger on his face.After hearing his subordinates report on his journey to Beihai this time, his expression changed.

"Brother, that Cheng Huang is really a bully. If I catch him one day, I will definitely not spare him." Zhang Fei finally couldn't help it, and said viciously.

"Third brother, don't mess around. That Cheng Huang is the general of Zhennan. If you touch him, our foundation will be ruined. The hateful thing is that the person who sent the false information made me suffer injustice." , still can’t refute it.”

"Wang Teng," Zhang Fei stared, his beard stood on end, and he spat wildly.I, Zhang Fei, can't find Cheng Huang, and can't I find you, Wang Teng?Zhang Fei has decided to make Wang Teng regret it for the rest of his life.

At this time, Ye Sheng drove forward and attacked Liu Bei with both hands.

"General Liu, according to the news from my subordinates, Cheng Huang has led the team into Xuzhou and joined the Xuzhou Yellow Turban. This Cheng Huang seems to have colluded with the Yellow Turban. General Liu, we can justifiably attack him! "

Liu Bei glanced at Ye Sheng, and said coldly: "Our territory is in danger, we should go back to the plains first. As for whether Cheng Huang is colluding with the Yellow Turbans, we have to confirm."

Liu Bei suffered a loss once, and he will never trust strangers easily again!

"General, it's absolutely true!" Ye Sheng said hastily.

"Stop talking," Zhang Fei yelled, causing Ye Sheng to jerk in fright, and hurriedly shut up.
