Chapter 382

Such tough words made Yan Xiang feel uneasy for a moment!

He didn't know whether Lin Yang had really mobilized his troops!

Anyway, Cao Mengde's troops had retreated from Lu Commandery!

Once the eighty thousand troops under Cheng Yu arrived, Lin Yang might really fight to the death under Gushi City!

He didn't dare to gamble anymore!

"Sigh, Governor Lin, I will be direct, if Governor Lin is willing to retreat, my lord can give the Jiujiang Commandery to the Governor!"

With a sigh, Yan Xiang didn't intend to waste words with Lin Yang!

The trump card Yuan Gonglu had prepared for him was thrown out directly at this moment!

"Oh? Jiujiang Commandery, I remember it doesn't seem to be in General Yuan's hands right now, does it?"

Guo Jia asked suspiciously, looking at Yan Xiang with deep meaning!

"Not so, Lu Bu is my lord's adopted son, Jiujiang Commandery is just a place my lord gave Lu Bu to garrison!"

Yan Xiang wouldn't talk about the rebellion in Jiujiang Commandery, and Lin Yang and the others couldn't possibly know!

And!

Even if Lin Yang knew!

He would never admit it!

The current Jiujiang Commandery is just a chicken rib!

It doesn't belong to Yuan Gonglu's control, so it's better to use it to make a deal with Lin Yang!

As for how Lin Yang pacifies Jiujiang Commandery, that is his business!

"Hehe, does Yuan Gonglu think I'm stupid? Using Lu Fengxian's territory to make me retreat?"

Disdainfully curling his lips, Lin Yang naturally wanted the conditions proposed by the other party!

Yuan Gonglu is defeated now!

He has no energy to deal with Lu Bu and the others!

He must take advantage of this time to cut off the connection between the other party and Lu Bu!

At least!

Lin Yang must ensure that when he attacks Jiujiang Commandery, Yuan Gonglu will not send reinforcements from behind!

"Oh? Since Governor Lin is not satisfied, my lord can also decide to give Yingchuan Commandery to the Governor!"

"Pfft!"

Guo Jia, who was drinking tea to the side, spat out the tea in his mouth when he heard Yingchuan Commandery!

A strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf?

Yingchuan Commandery is an exclave, what does Lin Yang want with that thing!

That territory has already been occupied by Cao Mengde!

"Hehe, let's not play such small tricks; Yingchuan Commandery has long been occupied by Cao Mengde, is it still something you, Yuan Gonglu, can decide?"

Unhappily curling his lips, this Yan Xiang actually wants to make him fight Cao Mengde!

This heart is truly vicious!

"Oh? Then what does Governor Lin want? Might as well say it directly!"

Yan Xiang didn't want any face anymore and just laid his cards on the table!

"Lujiang Commandery, give me Lujiang Commandery, Jiujiang Commandery, and half of Runan Commandery, and I will retreat immediately!"

Lin Yang slapped his hand down and stated his goal directly!

This great battle!

Although Lin Yang won!

He also had no energy left to attack!

The key is the siege battle!

Dealing with a fortified city with one hundred thousand troops stationed!

Unless Lin Yang has enough black powder, or forty thousand troops!

Otherwise, he cannot take down Yuan Gonglu, who is hiding in the city!

Rather than wasting time here, Lin Yang would rather go back and digest the fruits of victory from this battle!

"Governor Lin, Lujiang Commandery and Jiujiang Commandery can be given to you, but half of Runan Commandery, my lord cannot agree to!"

Just kidding!

Most of Yuzhou's population is in Runan Commandery; if he loses half of Runan Commandery, how can Yuan Gonglu recuperate!

It would be better to just not seek peace and defend the city to the death!

For a moment, the negotiations between the two sides fell into a stalemate; Lin Yang looked at the other party's unwillingness to loosen up and couldn't help but nod!

"Good, go back and tell Yuan Gonglu, agree to my two-commandery condition, and I will retreat in half a month!"

Lin Yang loosened up; this was undoubtedly good news. Yan Xiang said a word and then went back to prepare the peace treaty!

Unlike the three-way attack with Cao Mengde before!

This kind of formal cessation of hostilities has a special peace treaty!

Before the Sima family violated the Luoshui Alliance and killed the emperor in the street!

The major warlords and noble families still strictly followed the alliance!

Once a peace treaty is signed and then violated, it will be spurned by the scholars of the world!

Following Yan Xiang's departure, Guo Jia slowly walked to Lin Yang's side!

"My lord, two commanderies are already in hand, why stay here for half a month?"

Now that Jiujiang Commandery is in battle, shouldn't they send troops to Jiujiang Commandery and Lujiang Commandery directly?

"Sigh, Fengxiao, you see that disaster victims are everywhere in Yuzhou!"

Lin Yang's gaze turned outside the military camp!

During this period, he had set up quite a few porridge sheds outside the military camp to provide relief to the disaster victims!

However, fifty thousand portions of white porridge were a drop in the bucket for hundreds of thousands of disaster victims!

It could only allow fifty thousand common people to barely have something to eat and not starve to death!

"My lord, do you intend to take this group of people back to Xuzhou?"

Looking at Lin Yang in astonishment, Guo Jia was dumbfounded!

No way!

He knew that Lin Yang had a large amount of white porridge, white flour buns, etc.!

But these things also have a certain amount!

For these hundreds of thousands of common people, it is simply not enough!

The grain and supplies in their army absolutely cannot be moved!

Otherwise, the army will be in chaos!

From here, back to Xuzhou, taking so many common people, at least one month's grain and supplies are needed!

One month's grain and supplies for hundreds of thousands, or even millions of common people!

Heavens!

My lord is crazy!

Guo Jia also didn't expect that Lin Yang would be so crazy!

The two thieves Li Jue and Guo Si moved the million common people in Luoyang City to Chang'an!

That whole journey was filled with corpses, a thousand miles of red earth!

Because there was no grain!

To this day, the Sili region has not recovered!

"Fengxiao's worries, I know, but you will understand tomorrow!"

Glancing at the time outside, according to the time, it should be about right!

Yuzhou, in Gushi City—

"Lin Ziyuan agreed?!"

Hearing that Lin Ziyuan agreed, Yuan Gonglu couldn't help but show a smile!

Just give him some time!

Relying on the over four million common people in Runan Commandery!
