Su Zhengyuan thought that Zhao Langjiang was really here, so he was so scared that he retreated repeatedly, "Zhu City Lord Zhao, you can discuss something, and just give orders if you have something to do. This kind of joke is not allowed."

Zhao Langjiang then stopped, picked up a chicken leg on the table, and said while eating, "General Su, can you tell me why I'm looking for you?"

"Although we have always met each other, our relationship is not very good. We don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. You come to me because you miss me."

After hearing this, Zhao Langjiang almost spitted out, "I have always dreamed of you recently."

Su Zhengyuan said, "Lord Zhao, we don't have any deep hatred. I can't afford to worry about you like day and night."

Zhao Langjiang decided not to talk nonsense anymore and said straight to the point, "I want to borrow troops from you."

Su Zhengyuan thoughtfully, as I expected, this kid had no good intentions when he came. However, when Zhao Langjiang talked about serious matters, he was in trouble. He borrowed troops? He didn't want to. He didn't want to. He didn't want to offend him. Su Zhengyuan didn't want to and dared not offend him. He had to find a suitable reason to reject him politely and not make him angry. Especially at this critical moment, Zhao Langjiang's old nest was taken away by someone. He must not let him seize the handle and take the opportunity to attack.

Thinking of this, Su Zhengyuan blew up, "It turned out to be a borrowing army. Although there are many soldiers at the mouth of my gourd, it is the busy farming season. We have to plant rice seedlings, cultivate land, and build canals. We must also prevent the bandits in the Western Chu Dynasty. The evil people are in trouble, and each radish and a pit are really difficult. I wonder how much to borrow?"

Zhao Langjiang stretched out three fingers.

Su Zhengyuan smiled and said, "It turns out that there are only three people!" He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, no matter how hard or difficult it is, we can still squeeze out three or five people."

Zhao Langjiang said, "Thirty thousand people!"

Su Zhengyuan jumped up with a rush. There were less than 100,000 troops stationed at Hulukou. This kid borrowed nearly half of them as soon as he opened his mouth. This was not a place to borrow, it was clearly a robbery.

He laughed, "Lord Zhao is really good at joking."

Zhao Langjiang said, "You are the one who jokes first."

Zhao Langjiang actually used less than 30,000 people. He knew Su Zhengyuan very well, so he started to speak up and then waited for Su Zhengyuan to bargain slowly. This strategy is just as Su Zhengyuan said that he wanted to borrow three or five people as soon as he came up. The difference between three people and 30,000 people was a bit big. Both of them were old fried dough sticks who had experienced this. When they saw each other like this, they laughed and immediately sat at the stone table and started a long bargaining.

"Lord Zhao, you know what happened in the capital. Recently, King Shu and King Yu have sent people to discuss cooperation, and they are all sincere."

What Su Zhengyuan said implies is that I am a hot commodity, so there is no need to choose to cooperate with you, Zhao Langjiang.

"General Su, I am very sincere. Look, we have been chatting for so long, and we are all kind and can discuss things. Have I said something that threatens you?"

Zhao Langjiang is also very direct. I have never said something to threaten you, but if you don’t cooperate, it’s not as simple as threatening you. There is no way, who makes me have high martial arts skills?

"With Lord Zhao's martial arts and prestige in Yinyang City, it is easy to regain Yinyang City and kill the thief. Why bother to attack me again?"

"A hero and three gangs, everyone is getting fire and fire. Han Xin ordered more troops, and the better."

Su Zhengyuan said, "It's better to do this. Based on the numbers just now, I will increase you ten times. How about giving you thirty people? You're so sincere!"

Zhao Langjiang said, "I just wanted a little too much for 30,000 people. Why not cut you by half and 15,000 people, and you can earn back 15,000 people in one go!"

Su Zhengyuan complained in his heart, what does it mean that I earn back 15,000 yuan? These people are my own good.

"You can reduce it a little more."

"You're adding some."

"It's better to do this. We will add five in two or one. I will make up an integer for you and give you a hundred soldiers!"

"I think we add our respective proposals and divide them by two. How about you give me 7,550 people?"

Su Zhengyuan said, "There are still zero and you can get rid of the 550 people first."

Zhao Langjiang said that seven thousand was not enough, and his expectation was three thousand, so he agreed readily, "Okay, seven thousand is seven thousand!"

Su Zhengyuan ordered Master Yu to say a few words. Soon, the food came up and placed it on the stone table, "Come on, carry out the second round."

Zhao Langjiang was stunned, "Is there still a conversation?"

"Of course, I just made three hundred and seven thousand, and we have to discuss a result that both sides are satisfied with."

"I'm already very satisfied with seven thousand people."

"I'm not satisfied." Su Zhengyuan said, "So, let's continue talking."

The two talked from morning to noon, from noon to sunset, and finally Zhao Langjiang insisted that five thousand people could not be reduced, and the limit Su Zhengyuan could give was one thousand people.

Su Zhengyuan called wine and said, "Come on, General Zhao, I heard that you have a drink of the sea, not as good as this. On the basis of a thousand people, if you drink a bowl of wine, I will add a hundred people to you. If you don't drink it, you won't give me face."

Zhao Langjiang said, "I quit drinking."

Su Zhengyuan sighed, "I'll give you a chance. If you can't control it, then there's nothing you can do."

Zhao Langjiang took off the golden sword and put it on the table. Su Zhengyuan was startled, "What do you want to do?"

Zhao Langjiang smiled and said, "This thing is too heavy to hang around my waist. I'll put it here, don't think too much."

Su Zhengyuan thought to myself, can I not think too much, you are the one who kills without blinking. Zhao Langjiang said again, "I have a suggestion, 5,000 people, every time you drink a bowl of wine, I will reduce you by 100 people, how about it?"

When Su Zhengyuan heard this, he said, "Are you serious?"

"You will do what you say!"

Su Zhengyuan said to Master Yu, "Take my toilet over here!"

Zhao Langjiang poured wine, and Su Zhengyuan drank.

One bowl, two bowls.

Nine bowls, ten bowls. Su Zhengyuan drank ten bowls of wine in one breath, and his face was already drunk. Zhao Langjiang said, "Okay, four thousand is about four thousand, your body is important." As the night wind blew, Su Zhengyuan came up with alcohol and was full of urine. Fortunately, his fat body sat on a special custom toilet, and even saved the effort to get up and relieve his hands. He said, "Pour wine again!"

Eleven bowls, twelve bowls.

Nineteen bowls, twenty bowls.

Su Zhengyuan's face turned red, his eyes were blurred, and he was already drunk. However, since Zhao Langjiang spoke, he was about to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman and cook fifty bowls in a row, leaving him with no harvest. Thinking of this, he said to Master Yu, "Come and put peanuts!"

Five more bowls of wine were dried.

Su Zhengyuan was speechless and said, "Two thousand five hundred people?"

Zhao Langjiang nodded, "Two thousand five hundred people."

"Pour wine!"

Before Zhao Langjiang could pour wine, Su Zhengyuan lay on the stone table.

This drink made Su Zhengyuan sleep until noon the next day, with 500 fewer than 3,000 people missing. Zhao Langjiang was quite satisfied. After noon, the two returned to the stone table, and Zhao Langjiang gave a thumbs up, "General Su, you have a good alcohol tolerance!"

Su Zhengyuan's head buzzed, and after drinking two big bowls of vinegar, he said, "Two thousand five hundred people, that's it."

"It's settled."

Su Zhengyuan said again, "I will lend you a person. But I can't lend you for nothing. What benefits do you give me?"

Zhao Langjiang said: "I think it's a bit sad to have a relationship based on our friendship."

Su Zhengyuan asked, "Do we have a relationship?"

Zhao Langjiang said, "No."

"Business is business, I'll listen to your offer."

Zhao Langjiang thought for a moment and said, "I will give you 30% of the dry stocks in Stone City!"

Su Zhengyuan said angrily, "Your Shitou City is now raising a debt of tens of millions. What's the use of me asking you to do stocks?"

Zhao Langjiang smiled, "You have to think so. There are 100,000 troops garrisons at Hulukou. These 100,000 people are 100,000 mouths to eat. This year, you have a strong foundation and can barely support it. If you have time, you will encounter a food crisis. Now Stone City is now building a large-scale border trade base, and within a few years, it will become the largest border trade base in Xijiang County. I have also built a base in Xiangjian County. At that time, we will join forces. There will be Xiangjian County in the east and Hulukou in the west. Once the trade road is opened, there will be wealth. Now the Central Plains is in chaos. Isn't it a great opportunity for our brothers to get rich?"

Su Zhengyuan thought for a long time and the deal was very cost-effective. He slapped his thigh and said, "The deal is completed. But there is a condition."

"Speaking."

"When the situation stabilizes, I want to lay off 50,000 border troops and arrange accommodation and livelihoods for them at Hulukou."

Zhao Langjiang was secretly happy that the most deficit of Shitou City was land, and in the chaos of the Central Plains, many people who had invested money in Shitou City could not come back. They took the opportunity to use it again and said, "It must be possible! At that time, General Su was truly the legitimate Stone City Lord!"

After Zhao Langjiang left, Su Zhengyuan asked Master Yu, "What do you think of this deal?"

Master Yu said, "General, why do I think the matter of borrowing troops is fake? He only gave him a broken wasteland, so you sold it to him Zhao Langjiang? The Lord of Stone City is true, but he also returned to Yinyangguan?"

Su Zhengyuan thought about this, that's the truth.

This is not a place to borrow soldiers, it is a place to deceive the surrender. However, since I have agreed, I can only take one step at a time. He said, "Okay, don't care about these for now. Go and count them and allocate the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the military camp, those who are not good at eating, those who are ill and cheating, and those who are cheating in the gang are all the old, weak, sick and scammers in the military camp to Zhao Langjiang."

In the afternoon of that day, Su Zhengyuan and Zhao Langjiang came to the barracks to select soldiers and looked at the officers and soldiers in the barracks. Su Zhengyuan remembered the wine yesterday, and felt that his stomach was overturned, and everyone looked like wine. Except for those old and weak soldiers, because Zhao Langjiang had a high prestige in the army, many people were willing to follow him, which made Su Zhengyuan very angry. The more he thought about it, he became more angry. He refused to let go of something and went back to the general's mansion to sleep.

The next day, Zhao Langjiang came to look for him again.

Su Zhengyuan asked, "How are you choosing the troops?"

Zhao Langjiang said, "Thanks to the general, I gathered 2,550, but I couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the Western Army. At night, another 500 people came to vote. I thought to agree to General Su, but I didn't want to accept them, but they forced each other to die. In order not to cause any death, I barely forced my subordinates to apologize to General Su today."

Su Zhengyuan rolled his eyes and didn't want to argue with him. Three thousand is just three thousand, so he quickly sent him away and finished.

Zhao Langjiang said again, "There is one more thing today."

"What?"

"Borrow grain!"

Su Zhengyuan was furious, "The landlord's family has no surplus food either."

Zhao Langjiang spread his hands, "The emperor is not too hungry. You know the situation now. This is the situation. If you don't give food and grass, these three thousand soldiers will only starve to death. At that time, General Su's crime will be severe. Of course, it will not be a waste of money. When I take back Yinyang City, I will be given three times. If I don't give it, these three thousand soldiers may be like a sick cat in your hands, but in my hands, I may not be able to do anything."

threaten!

Naked threat!

Little man!
