Chapter 363: Su Xuan: Brother Gonglu, you wouldn't want me to sell these military supplies to Yuan Shao, would you

Yuan Shu over there heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he immediately took Qiao Rui and rode his horse to the negotiation table, dismounted, and while cursing, sat down opposite Su Xuan, glared at Su Xuan and cursed: "Good for you, Su Boyuan! You still have the nerve to say we are friends? Is this how you act as a friend?"

"You captured my great general Ji Ling and over 30,000 troops, and even extorted so much money and grain from me. Where in the world is there such a friend?"

Su Xuan heard this and shrugged: "This can't be blamed on me! This time you were the one who took the initiative to attack me first, not me attacking you first!"

"Brother Gonglu, good friends must also be reasonable, right?"

"Playing the rascal is not okay!"

Saying this, Su Xuan poured a cup of wine for himself and Yuan Shu, made a gesture of invitation: "Come! Drink! Drink!"

Yuan Shu didn't refuse, immediately picked up the wine cup and drank, seemingly to cover up his embarrassment.

After a while, he spoke: "I have already scraped together the money and grain and placed it in Jiyang. When shall we hand it over?"

He only wanted to ransom his army back as soon as possible now.

Hmm! Sun Jian and his army must also be ransomed back.

Only with more people and more fierce generals would he feel more secure.

Otherwise, he was a bit afraid to continue staying in Nanyang.

Afraid that Su Xuan would attack Wancheng at any time and directly seize him.

"This can be done at any time!"

Su Xuan shook his head directly: "Since Brother Gonglu didn't bargain, I am naturally not an unreasonable person!"

"Let our subordinates handle the details of the handover later;"

"Let's talk about other things!"

"Hmm?"

Yuan Shu heard this and was slightly stunned: "Can we still bargain?"

He suddenly felt he was at a loss.

However, before he could think more, Su Xuan rolled his eyes directly: "Of course not! I was just saying."

Yuan Shu: "..."

If you can't, why the hell are you saying it?

Isn't this intentionally teasing people?

"Boyuan! Do you know that you are very annoying like this? If you can't, why did you say it? Are you intentionally teasing me?"

Yuan Shu drank the wine in his cup in one gulp angrily, then, while pouring himself wine, continued to ask Su Xuan: "Tell me! What else do you want to talk to me about?"

Su Xuan immediately smiled and replied: "Two things! Or it can be said to be one thing!"

"That is, do you need military supplies? I can sell you all the military supplies, warhorses, etc., that were confiscated this time at a discounted price;"

"Even, I can sell you more military supplies at a discounted price;"

"Currently, I still have quite a few remaining military supplies that can be sold. Opportunity knocks but once!"

"Now is the time for warlords from all walks of life to develop rapidly;"

"Military supplies are the most scarce;"

"Whoever has enough military supplies can expand more troops in a short time!"

"How about it? Am I good to you? Having such a good thing, I thought of you first!"

"Don't say I didn't treat you as a friend."

Su Xuan had a look of sincere treatment.

"No!"

Yuan Shu heard this and his face darkened: "Doesn't the ransom include the military supplies, warhorses, etc., that were confiscated by you?"

He felt he had been cheated again.

"Are you kidding me?"

Su Xuan heard this and widened his eyes, looking at Yuan Shu in disbelief: "That was just the cost of ransoming people. Have you ever seen anyone who could ransom the confiscated military supplies and warhorses back together?"

"You just happened to run into me, willing to let you pay extra to buy them back. I don't need so many military supplies for the time being, otherwise, in the short term, you would be worried about preparing to forge military supplies!"

"These things are not so easy to forge;"

"Especially armor and warhorses, they are all hot items. I believe you should understand this very well, Brother Gonglu."

"So, give me an answer, do you want to buy or not?"

Still want to ransom the people and the military supplies and warhorses all at once?

Don't want to pay more money?

Simply dreaming.

Is he, Su Xuan, such a good person?

"You..."

Yuan Shu heard this and was directly speechless.

So angry his face turned red, after a while, he recovered and gritted his teeth: "Fine! I'll buy it! Tell me! How much money do I need for the military supplies and warhorses confiscated from my 50,000-man army?"

"Also, is it true that you want to sell me more military supplies?"

"How is the quality? How many are there?"

"Are there high-quality armor? Bows, crossbows, and arrows?"

Because the military expansion was too fast, he was indeed very short of military supplies.

Especially armor, bows, crossbows, and arrows.

The armor rate of his army before was only less than 30%.

Among them, a considerable portion of the armor was only leather armor, with limited defense.

As for iron armor, there was very little.

Although he was ordering people to hurry up and forge them in Runan and Wancheng, these all require time.

And what he lacks now is time.

Just as Su Xuan said, he needs to expand his strength as quickly as possible.

If he had 100,000 or even 200,000 troops this time, could Su Xuan still win against him?

Simply impossible!

Even if Su Xuan's troops were elite, he could pile him to death with numbers.

"For the confiscated military supplies and warhorses, I won't ask for much, just charge you 200,000 shi of grain and 200,000 gold, just as a token!"

Su Xuan replied faintly.

"You..."

Yuan Shu heard this and widened his eyes looking at Su Xuan, angrily saying: "How can this be called not much? Why don't you just go rob?"

Even bandits aren't as greedy as you!

"You can't say it like that, Brother Gonglu!"

Su Xuan heard this and smiled and argued: "That is the military supplies for 50,000 troops, which also includes nearly 5,000 warhorses. This is not a small number;"

"This is already a bone-breaking price;"

"It's only because it's you, Brother Gonglu. If it were Yuan Benchu, the price would have to be at least 30% higher!"

"If you really don't want it, I'll spend a bit more effort and have someone run a trip to Bohai and sell it to Yuan Shao!" ===== CHAPTER 365 =====
