Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 412 Extortion
After thinking for a long time, Liu Xie still didn't know what valuable things to extort from Cao Cao.

In fact, it is not that Cao Cao is really shabby and poor, but because of his ability to control people, the civil servants and generals under his command are extremely loyal to him. Yes.

"Forget it, let Wang Meng and the others order food, grass, gold and silver at will, and reward the army."

Liu Xie curled his lips, thinking that he was really kind, that he had given up such a good opportunity to blackmail, trembling with pain in his heart, and kept muttering that he had lost [-] million yuan.

Liu Xie was very concerned about losing a small goal in one fell swoop.

After Wang Meng and the others received Liu Xie's reply, everyone could deeply feel their lord's aggrieved mood from between the lines, so they all took the opportunity to make their own small requests. Or the weapon was not in his hand, and he said a lot of messy things, and even Cao Cao suffered a severe pain.

Of course, these things will not happen until about half a month later. Liu Xie didn't know that his generals would be more rogue and greedy than he imagined, so he kept sighing after he found out: I don't know these things. Who did the guy learn from.

Now Liu Xie is receiving Jian Yong, the envoy from Jingzhou Liu Bei, and his party in the hall of his temporary mansion in Xuzhou.

Jian Yong and others were worried that Liu Xie would ask Chen Qingzhi to lead troops south to threaten their power in Jingzhou at any time, and they were even more afraid that Liu Biao would come down and attack them from behind, so they hurried all the way, and finally arrived at Xiapi early , was personally interviewed by Liu Xie today.

In fact, it had been a few days since Jian Yong and the others arrived in Xiapi, but Liu Xie kept asking Xun You to find excuses to delay them. Jian Yong was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pot, and his fat body had lost a lot of weight.

Of course, Liu Xie did it on purpose. He and Xun You also knew the purpose of Jian Yong's coming here. It was somewhat similar to Chen Gong on Cao Cao's side. One was seeking peace, and the other was for Pei Yuanqing who was captured alive by Yuwen Chengdu.

It's nothing more than seeking peace, Liu Xie has not yet sent an army to go to Jingzhou so far to fight Liu Bei.

But Pei Yuanqing is different from Xia Houyuan, he and Liu Bei are not related, and Liu Xie spent a lot of time and effort to save him a while ago, Jian Yong wanted to go back to Pei Yuanqing so easily, but that was Impossible.

Liu Xie didn't see Jian Yong on purpose, just because he wanted to give him a good beating, so as to save Jian Yong from talking nonsense, and even said some bargaining chips and requests that he would never consider.

Liu Xie doesn't have the skill to evade Jian Yong, if he really has this time, he might as well go and moles the innocent and lovely eldest grandson Wugou.

Jian Yong has also thought about the joints these days, so now he finally got an interview with Liu Xie. After he saluted and greeted him, he didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly took care of them, saying that they were bewitched by Yuan Shu Only then did he accidentally fight with Chen Qingzhi's army. It was really a flood that rushed into the Dragon King Temple. Liu Bei also deeply apologized for this, and was willing to take the initiative to seek peace and obtain Liu Xie's forgiveness.

Jian Yong kept his attitude very low, so low that he didn't look like a prince's envoy who didn't even care about his lord's dignity, but more like a follower in the market.

Especially his fat head and big ears, his eyes narrowed into a thin slit, he looks like a fat translator in a later anti-Japanese drama, it is easy for people to look down on him.

However, Liu Xie and Xun You looked at each other. Although they didn't speak, they knew that the other party thought the same as themselves, and they were not confused by Jian Yong.

"Jian Yong's low profile is not because of Liu Bei's personal permission. He absolutely dare not reserve any dignity for Liu Bei. As the emperor's uncle, his forbearance really cannot be underestimated. Like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, he can still make a living from Youzhou to Jingzhou."

Liu Xie calmed down, and while listening to Jian Yong's continuation, he secretly paid more attention to Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Jian.

Historically, their three veins have divided the world from the troubled times, and they don't have cheats like Liu Xie. They are really heroes among heroes, and they can't be taken lightly at any time.

"I understand what Liu Bei means. It's okay to seek peace. After all, there will be less war between us, and the people of the big man will have more peace."

After listening to Jian Yong's words, Liu Xie immediately nodded in response.

His speech is much more mature and stable now, and he has the temperament that the leader of a party should have, and he is no longer as childish and frivolous as before.

Jian Yong's expression brightened, thinking that Liu Xie agreed.

"However, if you want to return to Pei Yuanqing as a fierce general with a single sentence, it is really a bit too whimsical. As for the money and food you promised, I believe you should also understand that I am not short of these things, but Pei Yuanqing is like this I am very interested in young generals who are so brave at such a young age, even in our army.

Liu Xie said lightly, picked up the tea and tasted it slowly, and let Jian Yong look at him with embarrassment.

He didn't necessarily want to keep Pei Yuanqing as a fierce general, because after getting in touch with Pei Yuanqing these days, he found that this guy also had a stubborn streak.

When Pei Yuanqing's condition improved slightly, he shouted loudly that he wanted to go back to Jingzhou, without the consciousness of treating himself as a prisoner at all.

And he was very anxious, as if there was some important person or important thing in Jingzhou that made him feel particularly worried, but when Liu Xie asked him the reason, he refused to say anything.

If Jiang Song, Qin Qiong and others were not there, and his pair of silver hammers were also put away by Liu Xie's order, Pei Yuanqing might have to fight out of Xiapi City and flee back to Jingzhou.

That's why Liu Xie already knew that for a persistent person like Pei Yuanqing, it would only be a disaster to force him to stay, and he wouldn't insist on recruiting him, but he couldn't just take advantage of Liu Bei so simply.

Although Liu Bei is even poorer than Cao Cao now, Liu Xie also wants to make things difficult for him and blackmail him.

Jian Yong was very embarrassed, and he probably understood what Liu Xie meant, but for a while he didn't know what to exchange for Pei Yuanqing. After thinking hard for a long time, he was speechless, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Xun You saw that Liu Xiewei gave him an indiscernible look, immediately understood, got up and said, "Since Mr. Jian didn't think it through, let's go back and think it over carefully, we are not in a hurry."

"You are not in a hurry, but we are in a hurry!"

Jian Yong looked at the contented smile on Xun You's face, and felt even more bitter in his heart, but he knew that today might be the end of the day, so he didn't dare to procrastinate any longer, so as not to anger Liu Xie and ruin the event completely, so he had to leave , Dejectedly returned to the embassy.
