Chapter five hundred and seventy seventh captive's dignity
When Mao Jie heard that Liu Qi was going to find Xiahou Dun to the commander's tent, he felt uneasy and an indescribable sense of nervousness.
I always feel that something is going to happen beyond my expectations.
Since ancient times, I have never heard of the conditions for the exchange of hostages when discussing the replacement of hostages, and the hostages must be brought to the tent of the general manager for joint participation in negotiation and exchange conditions.
After a while, Xiahou Dun was taken into the tent by the Jing Wushu under Liu Qi.
When Xiahou Dun saw Mao Jie, a surprised and comforting expression appeared on his face: "Mr. Xiaoxian? You are here!"
Mao Jie did not have the kindness of Xiahou Dun. He could not figure out Liu Qi's real intention in his heart and was just irritated.
He just nodded politely to Xiahou Dun.
When he was young, he saw Liu Qi standing up with a smile and asked Xiahou Dun: "Brother Yuan Rang, today Duke Xiaoxian came to represent Brother Meng De to exchange my Jingzhou Cai Mao and Cai Degui for the life of Yuan Rang."
The moment Xiahou Dun saw Mao Jie, he knew what he was going to come.
But at this moment, when Liu Qi said it in person, the stone in his heart fell to the ground.
He looked at Mao Jie in surprise, but Mao Jie signaled his forehead.
At this moment, Liu Qi continued to speak: "Brother Yuan Rang, Mr. Mao came on behalf of Cao Piqi, and expressed his intention that he wanted to exchange Yuan Rang for Cai Degui in our army. In addition, he would also ask our army to pay 50,000 stones of grain and grass, 50,000 stones of wheat bran, a total of 100,000 stones of grain and grass. If our army did not agree, he would not send back Degui and let the two families execute prisoners. Duke Xiahou felt that this matter was justified?"
Xiahou Dun knew Cao Cao quite well and knew that Cao Cao was taking the opportunity to ask Liu Qi for more military supplies. This was not new when the two armies fought to exchange prisoners.
After all, are everyone acting for their own interests?
But Xiahou Dun didn't understand what Liu Qi was doing in front of his hostage, and he didn't understand it.
He was determined to open his mouth and whisper Liu Qi, but he was afraid that he would say something wrong inadvertently and leave a handle for the other party.
When he was young, Fang heard Xiahou Dun's tentative words: "What does Liu Envoy Liu mean to say these?"
Liu Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yuan Rang, Liu has no malice, and I don't want to force my elder brother to stay. I just want to ask Brother Yuan Rang, it's not okay to exchange Yuan Rang for one of my General Cai Zhonglang, and I have to add 100,000 stones of grain and grass, and it was proposed by the army that the army took the initiative... Could it be that in the eyes of the wise men of the army, Yuan Rang's brother is so much cheaper than General Cai of Jingzhou...?"
When Mao Jie heard this, his color changed and he said angrily: "Envoy Liu, please don't mess up right and wrong. Mao has never said that!"
Liu Qi turned to look at Mao Jie: "If Mr. Xiaoxian didn't mean this, what would it mean? As we all know today, your six-way army has been broken by me from three routes. The remaining three routes of troops can be decided by the power of Jingzhou. Your army is here to compete with me, and who will win or lose. It is still unknown if General Xiahou was not qualified to exchange with General Cai in his identity, how could you make such an irresponsible request?"
"You...!" Mao Jie never expected that Kuai Yue and Kuai Liang had never refuted themselves in words, but the other party's chief general took the initiative to joking.
Liu Qi no longer looked at Mao Jie, but turned to look at Xiahou Dun and said word by word: "Brother Yuan Rang, as long as you take the initiative to admit in front of my tent, your Xiahou master in Pei Kingdom is more than a Cai clan in Xiangyang, and he is less expensive than a 100,000 stone of food and grass. Mr. Liu immediately agreed to Cao Mengde's proposal and exchanged it with you and 100,000 stone of food and grass."
Kuai Yue had already brought back Liu Qi's meaning at this time, and then echoed: "My Jingzhou is vast and rich in food and grass, and it is really not bad for this 100,000 stone of food... It is worth using this 100,000 stone of food to demonstrate General Cai's nobility."
When he finished speaking, he heard the generals in the tent laughing.
"Xiahou Yuanrang, you should agree soon!"
"As soon as the general opened his golden mouth, the reputation of the Cai family in Xiangyang will be spread throughout the world!"
"The Xiahou clan is a total of 100,000 stones worse than the Cai clan."
"It is also a good story to pass on to later generations."
Xiahou Dun's face turned red and white, and he clenched his fists tightly amid the mockery of the generals in Jingzhou. Judging from Liu Qi's appearance, he was definitely not talking nonsense and talking to him randomly.
As long as you nod, Liu Qi will definitely apply the conditions to add 100,000 stones of grain and grass, and exchange it for Cai Mao himself.
But, can you really click this head?
The ridicule of the Jingzhou generals in the tent pierced into Xiahou Dun's heart like a needle.
At the same time, a trace of dissatisfaction with Cao Cao broke out in his heart.
They are also prisoners of war, why did Meng De insist on raising the price and exchange it?
At this moment, if Xiahou Dun was anxious to replace prisoners, he would respond to Liu Qi's words...
His life was saved, and Cao Cao also obtained 100,000 stones of grain and grass.
However, Xiahou Dun will definitely make a laugh at the world in the future and become what others call "a clan general who is not worth 100,000 stones."
In this era, for some people, fame and face are very important.
Although Xiahou Dun had a poor record, he was a very face-saving person.
Someone insulted his teacher back then, and he tried to kill him. Now he is marching and fighting. Among all the generals of the clan, he is the only one who has to carry a military book in war and always shows the demeanor of a Confucian general in front of outsiders...
All signs show that Brother Ganglie is very shameless.
If he wants him to admit that he is 100,000 s are cheaper than Cai Mao, it would be better to let Liu Qi tear up the ticket to Brother Ganglie directly.
Mao Jie was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
He naturally understood that Cao Cao could not have deliberately belittled Xiahou Dun's meaning, but after Liu Qi's interpretation, this fictitious thing was confirmed by Liu Qi.
He quickly turned his head and said to Xiahou Dun amid the ridicule of the generals in Jingzhou: "Yuan Rang, you are from the same clan of Cao Piqi. Naturally, you know Cao Piqi's character. He will not be able to humiliate you when he exchanges hostages this time!"
After a long period of silence, Xiahou Dun suddenly bowed to Mao Jie and said, "Meng De and I are the same clan friends. What kind of person is he? A certain family naturally knows that Meng De's character will naturally not humiliate me. However, although this matter is unintentional, if it is done, it will inevitably humiliate someone's reputation... Being captured by the enemy, a certain family is already ashamed and feels shameless to see Meng De again. I also ask Xiao to tell Meng De first. This time, a certain family is sorry for him. If he really uses this condition to replace the substance, he will definitely hang himself in the army before replacing the substance, and die to repay Meng De's love."
After hearing this, Mao Jie was both angry and shocked, and also felt a little ashamed of Cao Cao.
He really didn't expect that this errand would be ruined by himself!
It would be fine if it hit the other party's wise and verbal argumentative people, but now it hits the other party's hands!
But what if Xiahou Dun is wrong?
Xiahou Dun was not at all wrong, he just wanted a piece of dignity.
If a general does not have dignity, how can he manage the three armies? If he is in charge of a county in the future, how can he manage the people of Guizhou under his jurisdiction?
Mao Jie turned his head to look at Liu Qi, facing his gaze, his expression on his face turned red and white, as if he was extremely annoyed by this person.
But, Liu Qi did nothing wrong.
It can only be said that he took a different approach and used some methods he could not think of!
It's really unprecedented.
"I heard that Liu's envoy is unparalleled ingenious plans. When I saw him today, I was really impressed. Mao was willing to accept the disadvantage... Today's incident, after returning to the camp, he would convey it to Cao's cavalry. As for how to exchange prisoners of war, I would also ask Liu's envoy to wait for the news."
