"I'm not satisfied with your answer, but it doesn't matter. Show your sincerity. Since General Gongsun said before that the sea can barely be thief-free, let me see and see. Some things can't just be said!" Chen Xi said coldly! He glanced at Liang Mao and said, it seems that this person is the real person in charge among the envoys. As for the so-called Gongsun Gong, I am afraid he is an abandoned son.
Liang Mao looked at Chen Xi¡¯s face and hesitated. He didn¡¯t know how to deal with the situation now that it had reached this level. Chen Xi¡¯s request was not excessive, but it was just how far the so-called sea without thieves went.
Chen Xi did not continue. He had already noticed that Liang Mao had probably started to think about his words. The autonomy that Gongsun Du gave Liang Mao was definitely not small, and Gongsun Du's bottom line was definitely not touched now.
"I dare to ask Chen Hou how far we need to go." Liang Mao didn't think for too long before he spoke. He also understood that some things cannot be delayed. If they are delayed for a long time, problems will arise.
"It depends on your sincerity." Chen Xi raised his eyelids and said, without stating the actual criteria. The information given by Guo Jia mentioned that Liang Mao knew both politics and military strategy.
Liang Mao bent his knuckles and rapped. He felt that he had understood Chen Xi's considerations. It was obvious that Chen Xi didn't want to care about what happened before, but the other party would never accept them doing the same thing a second time.
"Chen Hou, can't we talk about it again?" Liang Mao finished his thinking and looked at Chen Xi and asked. Chen Xi's request was not high, but Liang Mao hoped that there would still be a chance to turn around.
"You think I want too little?" Chen Xi glanced at Liang Mao and said. "To be honest, if Liaodong is indeed a wilderness, there is nothing to do. I will not make such a request. I need your sincerity. You also understand what this sincerity is."
Liang Mao is helpless. This is just like Yuan Shao didn¡¯t fight Gongsun Du before. It¡¯s not because Gongsun Du is so strong that it¡¯s not worthwhile to fight him. It's because there's no point in fighting and you won't get anything. They also have to pay back, so as long as they are honest and obedient and don't ask for trouble, most rulers turn a blind eye, especially in times of war.
"To be honest, if you were richer or stronger, we would have a chance to fight." Chen Xi said, "I actually want to fight."
Liang Mao's face was expressionless, but he was really helpless. If Gongsun Du was stronger and allowed Liu Bei to feel a hint of danger, he would definitely be killed by Chen Xi. At that time, he would definitely not care about where you are. Even if it is a barbaric place, kill him. You can graze sheep in that area.
Similarly, if you are rich, you will be worth fighting. At least you can get your money back after the fight, unlike now where you will get nothing after the fight, and there is no value in fighting at all.
"Now that Marquis Chen has spoken, we should also show our sincerity. Yuan Tan stole the power of Youzhou without telling us. Our lord is located in Liaodong and is willing to assist Duke Xuande in solving the troubles in Youzhou." Liang Mao made a mental assessment. He spoke slowly.
"It is indeed sincere, but our army has now ceased war with Yuan Tan and cannot do such things that violate the will." Chen Xi said calmly.
"With our army alone, it will be difficult to completely capture the entire Youzhou. At most, we can only capture one county along the coast." Liang Mao said sincerely. Liaodong's strength is naturally comparable to that of the three Koreas. But to beat Yuan Tan, that would be a joke.
"We need the entire Youzhou." Chen Xi looked at Liang Mao calmly and said.
"Liaodong can't do it. Marquis Chen's request can only be said to be too much." Liang Mao shook his head. In his opinion, this was just a sky-high asking price. There was no anger at all, and his tone was still as soothing as before.
"Haha, with Liaodong's strength, it is still possible to send 50,000 troops. It would be impossible for 50,000 people to capture the entire Youzhou at other times, but it is enough now." Chen Xi casually threw the map in his sleeve to the opposite side. Next to Mao's desk, Liang Mao reached out to pick up the map and opened it, feeling slightly startled.
"What do you think?" Chen Xi picked up the tea and took a sip, then put down the cup and looked at Liang Mao and asked.
Liang Mao was shocked the first time he saw the map. He had no idea that Liu Bei's power had expanded to such an extent and that it was already connected to Youzhou!
Only half of the entire Jizhou is in the hands of Yuan Tan. I originally thought that the reason for Liu Bei's victory in this battle was to kill Yuan Shao and capture Yecheng. I didn't expect that Liu Bei's power had expanded to such an extent.
"Xuan Degong is already the undisputed overlord of the world." Liang Mao said with a bitter look on his lips. Liu Bei was already incredibly powerful.
"So, if you still want to be as sincere as before, I won't mind conquering Liaodong. After all, the snow is heavy this year, and it is a foregone conclusion that Xianbei Karasuma will go south. We can grab grass and hunt rabbits. Believe me, we have this Strength." ChenXi said extremely calmly.
Seeing that Liang Mao opened his mouth and had something to say, Chen Xi sneered and said to himself, "As for the emperor's will, it is decided by public opinion!"
Liang Mao only felt a chill on his back. He did not doubt what Chen Xi said about hunting rabbits. To be precise, Liu Xuande had this strength now.
If Xianbei Wuwan goes south and Liu Xuande goes north to start a war, it is very possible to deal with Xianbei and Wuwan on the prairie while turning back to deal with Gongsundu, especially if they do not give Liu Bei a satisfactory answer.
"So choose, we need a satisfactory answer." Chen Xi glanced at Liang Mao with cold and ruthless eyes and said, now that the situation is in hand, Chen Xi will not have the slightest worry, smart people will not seek death!
Liang Mao was extremely hesitant. The current situation was very clear. Fifty thousand troops did have a chance to capture Youzhou. But even if Liu Bei and the Yuan clan had a thousand-mile defense line, Gongsun Du would take advantage of Yuan Tan's failure to catch him. Things are not that easy either.
It can even be said that even if it is a victory, whether Liaodong's 50,000-strong army can still have 20,000 is a matter of two opinions. Youzhou is not so easy to get, this is a trap, and after doing this, it is basically considered a complete victory. If you offend Yuan Tan, you will have no choice but to leave Liu Bei in the future.
"Okay, we will send troops to attack Youzhou, but Duke Xuande needs to give us other support." Liang Mao took a deep breath and agreed to this request.
"Yes, when the time comes, we will make a flanking attack on Youzhou in the Bohai area, and we will support the cold winter clothes and food weapons that Liaodong lacks, and we will not engage in peace within the short time after General Gongsun captures Youzhou. Accept and only communicate with each other, and when we send troops to the north, General Gongsun needs to allow us to use the passage." Chen Xi nodded, and then told Liang Mao a series of incredible good news. (To be continued)
