Chapter 345

Fourth year of Chuping, late July

Jizhou, in Xindu City

"My lord, Cao Mengde has sent an envoy!"

In the Provincial Governor's Mansion in Xindu, Yuan Benchu met the envoy of Cao Mengde who had arrived, and looking at Chen Qun's figure, Yuan Benchu couldn't help but be curious!

Cao Mengde at this time, not thinking about how to solve the grain problem!

What is he doing coming to find him?

"My lord, this Cao Mengde should be here for an alliance!"

"Hmm? Alliance?"

Looking at Ju Shou suspiciously, this Cao Mengde had always been in a hostile relationship with him!

Coming to find him for an alliance?

Why is this?

"Yanzhou is short of grain, and there are only a few places in the world with grain and grass!"

Tian Feng, who was to the side, also laughed and said!

He also guessed Cao Mengde's intention!

Yanzhou, a land of four battles!

Jizhou to the north, Yuzhou to the south, Qingzhou and Xuzhou to the east, Sili to the west!

Now Yuzhou and Sili are both without grain!

Cao Mengde also sent an envoy to Jizhou!

It's nothing more than two things!

Either seeking grain support from Jizhou!

Or allying with Jizhou to plot Xuzhou's grain and grass!

"My lord, this matter can be dragged on for a while to see what conditions the other party offers!"

Whether borrowing grain from Jizhou or allying with Jizhou to plot Xuzhou's grain and grass, there was no benefit to them at all!

They wouldn't do things that had no benefits!

"Hmm, hmm!"

Yuan Benchu nodded, probably understanding the current situation!

"Provincial Governor Yuan, my lord asked me to send his greetings to Provincial Governor Yuan on his behalf!"

Yuan Benchu, the position of Provincial Governor of Jizhou, was personally conferred by the Son of Heaven!

"Haha, Mengde and I haven't seen each other for a long time. I don't know why he sent you here today?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Yuan Benchu was sharp and exposed!

Now he was rushing to attack Gongsun Bogui and had no time to waste with Cao Mengde!

"Provincial Governor Yuan, my lord is here this time to give Provincial Governor Yuan a great gift!"

Chen Qun arched his hands, his expression neither humble nor arrogant!

"Oh? A great gift?"

Hearing the word gift, Yuan Benchu became a little interested!

He wanted to see what Cao Mengde would take out to give him!

"That's right, my lord is willing to take out the entire Qingzhou, plus one commandery of Xuzhou, Langya, to give to Provincial Governor Yuan!"

As soon as the words fell, it was like a thunderbolt striking Yuan Benchu's head!

Yuan Benchu, who was originally indifferent, stood up at this moment!

"What? Cao Aman wants to give Qingzhou to me?"

The entire Qingzhou, plus one commandery of Xuzhou!

This Cao Mengde must be crazy!

Wait, something is wrong!

These places are not Cao Mengde's!

He says he gives them to me, so he gives them to me?

"Hmph, a fine Cao Mengde, really a good plan. With just an empty promise, he wants my lord to send troops from Jizhou to attack Xuzhou!"

Tian Feng, who was to the side, shouted coldly, directly piercing through Chen Qun's purpose!

What entire Qingzhou!

That was just an empty promise!

Cao Mengde didn't need to pay anything!

Trying to trick them with this kind of conspiracy, this was underestimating the people of the world a bit too much!

"Oh? May I ask who this is?"

"Tian Feng, Tian Yuanhao!"

Looking at Tian Feng's appearance of seeing through him, Chen Qun's heart thumped!

This person actually saw through Xi Zhicai's plan!

He really couldn't be underestimated!

However!

He didn't come without preparation!

"So it's Mr. Yuanhao. My lord naturally wouldn't make an empty promise. This time, we have already reached an alliance with Yuan Gonglu, and the three commanderies of Qingzhou can be taken by Provincial Governor Yuan at any time!"

Chen Qun arched his hands and directly threw out the three commanderies of Qingzhou!

Those three commanderies had already been ravaged twice by Cao Mengde and Yuan Gonglu!

The original population of nearly two million was now only about one point one million!

A large amount of commoners' land was left barren, suffering from war and displacement!

Even if given to Yuan Benchu, there wouldn't be much benefit!

"Oh? Can the three commanderies of Qingzhou really be taken at any time?"
