LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 365
Huang Quan looked at Fazheng with surprised eyes.
He obviously didn't expect that Fazheng would even use his own head as a guarantee in order to gain Guan Yu's trust.
This kind of loyalty is really valuable.
Huang Quan couldn't help but feel ashamed when he thought that he had doubted Fa Zheng before.
"General Guan, if that's the case, I think we might as well just trust him for once."
Deng Mu looked back at Guan Yu and nodded slightly as a hint.
Guan Yu understood, waved his hand and said coldly:
"The general wanted to spare Liu Zhang's death for the time being and give him a chance to make up for his mistakes because he was from the same clan as the Emperor. Zhang
Song looked like he was relieved, but Guan Yu thanked him again and again.
Then he told Huang Quan:
"Brother Huang, you have also heard the terms I negotiated just now.""
"I stay here as a hostage. You rush back immediately and ask the Duke of Shu to send you the food and grass to make amends."
"I'm putting my life on the line here. You must make the Duke of Shu not be short-sighted."
Huang Quan was suspicious of Fazheng, and even felt grateful in his heart.
The more Fazheng risked his life and was selfless, the more he admired and felt ashamed of Fazheng.
So Huang Quan handed over his hand and solemnly It says:
"Xiao Nao, I will set off back immediately"
"I guarantee my reputation as Huang Quan. Even if it costs me my life, I will definitely convince Duke Shu to agree to this condition."
"Don't worry, I will come to redeem you in less than ten days with food and grass."
Fazheng also warned him again and again.
The two finally settled their differences and bowed to each other.
Huang Quan left in a hurry.
Fazheng personally sent him outside the tent, as if he was reluctant to say goodbye.
It wasn't until Huang Quan left that Fazheng Out of curiosity, he hurriedly turned back to the tent.
"OK OK!"
"Xiao Nao, Xiao Nao, your acting skills are really superb."
When he turned his head, Deng Mu was already smiling and clapped his hands and cheered.
Fazheng smiled bitterly and held his hands to Deng Mu:
"Prime Minister Deng’s plan of killing two birds with one stone really impressed Zheng Zheng."
"Kill two birds with one stone? Deng
Mu smiled and asked:
"What is meant by killing two birds with one stone? Xiaozhi might as well tell you.
Fazheng thought Deng Mu wanted to test him, so he laughed and said :
"This first arrow allows me to leave Liu Zhang and stay here in the name of being a hostage."
"This second arrow will naturally defraud hundreds of thousands of grain and grass for use by our army."
"In this way, it actually saves our army the trouble of transporting food."
"This is Prime Minister Deng's plan to kill two birds with one stone. I don't know if Zheng's guess is correct or not."
Fazheng then explained what he had figured out one by one.
Deng Mu laughed.
Guan Yu also stroked his beard and laughed.
Zhang Song also laughed.
Fazheng was confused and said:
"Prime Minister, is your guess wrong?"
Deng Mu smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Song stepped forward, patted Fazheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile:
"Xiao Nao, what you guessed about killing two birds with one stone is just the beginning of the Prime Minister's plan."
"The prime minister's real plan is to take advantage of this opportunity to outsmart Huangshi Pass."
"After that, our army can capture Jiangzhou. Fazheng was shocked.
His bright eyes were suddenly filled with doubts.
Fazheng immediately held hands with Deng Mu and said curiously:
"Forgive me for being foolish, but I wonder if the Prime Minister has such a plan?"
"How does Prime Minister Deng plan to break through Huangshi Pass? Would you like to hear the details?"
Deng Mu glanced at Zhang Song.
Zhang Song told Fazheng all about Deng Mu's strategy.
The suspicion in Fazheng's eyes disappeared little by little, replaced by shock and surprise.
After a long time,
Fazheng When Fang Shi came back to his senses, he couldn't help but take a deep breath and became excited.
"It turns out that the Prime Minister has laid such a dragnet!"
"Even with all my wisdom, I couldn’t figure it out!"
"Today, I, Fa Zheng, have witnessed the Prime Minister’s shady schemes again."(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
Fazheng sighed in admiration and bowed to Deng Mu again.
Deng Mu still smiled and said nothing.
Guan Yu laughed and said boldly:
"Let's recharge our batteries and wait for the Prime Minister's plan to level the Yellowstone Pass!" bursts of laughter echoed in the tent....
…
Three days later, Huang Quan rushed back to Chengdu and told Liu Zhang the truth.
Liu Zhang's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
I was originally worried that Liu Bei was plotting to seize Yizhou from him, but now I heard from Huang Quan that it was Wang Lei who made his own decisions, which angered Guan Yu.
In other words, Guan Yu's attack on the city and his generals were all done by Guan Yu without authorization, not by Liu Bei's instructions.
As for Zhang Song's betrayal, it was interpreted as his intention to join Liu Bei and incite Guan Yu to use troops against Wang Lei in order to gain credit.
And the law is right.
Huang Quan described him as a loyal person who was clean and self-sufficient despite having a close relationship with Zhang Song.
When Huang Quan told Deng Mu the conditions for repair, Liu Zhang was finally relieved.
Without hesitation, I agreed immediately[]
Liu Zhang did not hesitate for a second and decisively agreed to Deng Mu's conditions, offering two hundred thousand grains and a generous pension in exchange for calming the anger of Guan Yu and the Han soldiers. then.
Huang Quan did not dare to delay, so he immediately rushed back to Huangshi Pass with thousands of carts of food and grass at starry night.
…
The sixth day.
Huangshiguan City Head.
Wu Yi stood on the top of the city with his sword in hand, looking down at the city with cold eyes.
Under the city gate, hundreds of grains and grass slowly drove out of Guancheng and headed towards Han Dynasty.
"Even if I make 3.2 states rich, Lord Shu shouldn’t squander it like this, right?"
"Losing land to pay for food, being servile and humble in exchange for Guan Yu's withdrawal, where is the prestige of Duke Shu..."
Wu Yi couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, with unwillingness in his eyes.
Huang Quan beside him sighed:
"In this world, the law of the jungle is eaten by the strong."
"Who told Liu Bei to dominate all nine states, while our Lord Shu only has one state?"
"If your fist is not as strong as the opponent's, you will have to endure the humiliation and bear the burden."
"In exchange for 200,000 bushels of grain and grass, Yizhou was exempted from the fire. Even if Shu Gong's prestige was damaged, it was still worth it."
Wu Yi was silent.
Although he understood what Huang Quan said, he could only shake his head and sigh.
Huang Quan also sighed, reluctantly went down to the city, and followed the food and grass towards the Han camp.
