    After listening to Yuan Shu's words, not to mention Sun Qian, even Mi Zhu took a breath.  Xuzhou originally had a population of nearly three million, but was defeated in the previous war. Under Yuan Shu's coercion, Tao Qian moved more than 600,000 people to the south bank of the Huaihe River.  Today, there are only more than two million people left in Xuzhou, while Xiapi County has a population of 610,000.  As soon as Yuan Shu opened his mouth, he wanted to take away nearly 30% of Xuzhou's population. This was tantamount to carving out Liu Bei's flesh.  "Could the general be joking?" Sun Qian said stiffly, smiling superficially but not smiling at all.  "Tao Qian negotiated with me before, and the conditions were the same. Since Tao Qian can accept it, then Liu Bei" Yuan Shu looked at Sun Qian with a smile, and his meaning was self-evident.  A trace of embarrassment flashed across Sun Qian's face. He had originally persuaded Tao Qian to agree to Yuan Shu's conditions. Now that he thinks about it, he really regrets it.  "What the general said is wrong! The situation back then was so different from today, how can we compare them?" Sun Qian said.  Yuan Shu said with a smile: "In this case, I will make the current situation the same as before, and Liu Xuande will probably agree by then." The threat is obvious.  Sun Qian felt a chill coming to his face and couldn't help but shudder.  Yuan Shu looked at Sun Qian, but he kept glancing at Mi Zhu out of the corner of his eye.  "What's going on with Mi Zhu? Why didn't you say a word?" After the negotiation started, Mi Zhu never expressed his opinion, as if he didn't hear the two of them talking.  Originally, Yuan Shu thought that it was the habit of Mi Zhu merchants to pretend to be calm in order to gain benefits in the negotiations, but by not saying a word, he was too calm.  "I heard that Zizhong is an important minister of Liu Xuande. What do you think of this?" Yuan Shu finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Mi Zhu first.  Mi Zhu was slightly stunned and looked at Yuan Shu in surprise.  Liu Bei¡¯s important minister?  At this time, Mi Zhu was unwilling to bear this title.  "If you work alone, you really can't be called an important minister." Mi Zhu shook his head.  "Oh?" Yuan Shu was a little curious and said, "I heard that Liu Xuande could take over Xuzhou. Zizhong contributed a lot and he should be his arm. Why don't you dare to admit it?"  How can I be so virtuous and capable, how dare I speak out and help?" Mi Zhu said calmly.  Yuan Shu's eyes flashed, and he heard a sense of resentment in Mi Zhu's words.  "It seems that I took it for granted before. There must be some unpleasantness between Mi Zhu and Liu Bei, so it is like this. It is not for negotiation." Yuan Shu thought to himself.  Sun Qian was also aware of it and glanced at Mi Zhu thoughtfully, thinking deeply in his heart.  At the moment, Yuan Shu waved and said: "Never mind these things. What does Zizhong think of my conditions?" Mi Zhu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid the general has misunderstood! I came here this time just to see what Shouchun has done.  If there is any business to be done, Gongyou is the right envoy. If the general has any questions, just ask him." Sun Qian raised his eyebrows. Although Liu Bei did mean this, he did not tell Mi Zhu.  "It seems that Mi Zhu has gradually separated from his lord. He must persuade his lord after returning home." Sun Qian thought to himself.  The three major families in Xuzhou, the Cao family, the Mi family, and the Chen family, have declined. Although there has been a resurgence in recent times, it cannot be restored overnight. When Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, in order to control the military power, he sidelined Cao Bao.  Naturally, the Cao family has been offended. If the Mi family is offended again, I am afraid it will really cause chaos.  After hearing what Mi Zhu said, Yuan Shu became more certain that he and Liu Bei had differences.  "How about adding fuel to the fire and provoking it?" Yuan Shu thought maliciously.  At this time, Sun Qian had recovered, his face straightened, and he said to Yuan Shu: "General! It is absolutely difficult for us to accept such conditions. If the general insists, I, Xuzhou, will not sit still and wait for death." "Yeah!" Yuan Shu looked indifferent.  He said: "You can give it a try!" Sun Qian's expression couldn't help but change. He thought that if he threatened, Yuan Shu would soften his attitude slightly even if he didn't give in, but he never expected that this would be the result.  However, the words have been spoken and it is impossible to take them back. Now Sun Qian can only be tough to the end.  "In that case, there's no need to talk anymore. I'll take my leave." After saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave, but he secretly pulled Mi Zhu.  Mi Zhu knew Sun Qian¡¯s intentions, and although he was unwilling to do so, he had not yet left Xuzhou, and his family had never moved. Naturally, he could not completely fall out with Liu Bei. Otherwise, he himself would not care, but it would be bad if he harmed his family.  Helpless, Mi Zhu stood up and stopped Sun Qian, turned to Yuan Shu and said: "Gongyou is a little rude, I hope the general will forgive me." "He didn't?My subordinates do not care whether they are rude or not.  "Yuan Shu said lightly, as if he didn't take what happened just now to heart. Mi Zhu nodded, turned to Sun Qian, and pretended to reprimand: "If the negotiation is not good, you can continue to talk, but if you are so rude, won't you lose your lord's face?  Sun Qian felt relieved and took advantage of the situation to apologize to Yuan Shu: "I was impatient at the moment and lost my position. I hope the general will forgive me."  " Yuan Shu didn't want to lose this blackmail opportunity, so he nodded slightly and exposed the matter. Next, the bargaining process began, and both Yuan Shu and Sun Qian were furious. After a fierce confrontation, the two sides  An agreement was finally reached, Xuzhou paid half, which was 300,000 people, and Yuan Shu promised that as long as Liu Bei was the master of Xuzhou, he would not send troops to attack Xuzhou. Seeing that the two reached an agreement, Mi Zhu was secretly surprised, not for both parties.  What do you think of the conditions, but he was surprised that Sun Qian directly agreed to Yuan Shu's conditions. Three hundred thousand people was not a small number. With Sun Qian's position, he should not be able to make the decision. Mi Zhu didn't know that before he went on the mission.  , Liu Bei has had many discussions with Sun Qian and Chen Deng. Taking Tao Qian's lesson into account, the three of them determined that Yuan Shu had a huge desire for population. Liu Bei's bottom line was 500,000. Within this range, Sun Qian could make his own decisions.  After thinking about it for a moment, Mi Zhu understood, and laughed at himself: "It seems that I have been completely alienated.  " Such a big event, Liu Bei and Mi Zhu didn't even mention it, which is obvious. Yuan Shu and Sun Qian naturally didn't know what Mi Zhu was thinking. After reaching an agreement, both of them felt excited. Yuan Shu was excited that the blackmail was successful, while Sun Qian was  I happily fulfilled Liu Bei's instructions, and exceeded the limit (the bottom line was 500,000, and only 300,000 were used) "The previous time Tao Qian moved the people, but his family property was confiscated. I don't want to see such a scene again this time;  Don't look for the old, weak, sick and disabled to make up for your losses, otherwisehehe!  "Yuan Shu gave Sun Qian a 'vaccination' in advance. The last time he was tricked by Tao Qian, he confiscated all the people's property and filled it with many old and weak people, causing him to spend a lot of money and food.  Six hundred thousand people were settled. Sun Qian said seriously: "General, don't worry!  Since my lord agreed to the conditions of the general, he will definitely keep his promise.  " "This is the best!  "Yuan Shu nodded slightly. The matter ended here. Yuan Shu was also planning to host a banquet to entertain them. However, Mi Zhu and Sun Qian had their own agendas and were not in the mood to attend the banquet, so they rejected Yuan Shu's kindness. Yuan Shu did not force him to stay, and allowed the two to stay.  People leave. ¡°It turns out that pie will really fall from the sky!  Yuan Shu said with a smile on his face.
