"Wait a minute." However, the guard didn't know who Yi Ji was, so he bent over and saluted, then turned and walked in.Soon, the guard came to the outside of Cai Mao's study and walked in.
"My lord, there is a man who claims to be from Iraq asking to see him." The guard reported.
Cai Mao was reading a book when he heard this, he was startled, raised his hand and said, "Please come in immediately."
"No." The guard promised, turned and walked out.
To be honest, just like Yiji doesn't like Cai Mao, Cai Mao doesn't like Yiji very much either.But Cai Mao also got news that Yiji was very popular with Lu Su, and even worshiped him as the prefect of Fancheng.
But now, Kuai Yue and Liu Biao are discussing the return of Wenpin, but Zhang Yun is not included in the matter of Wang Wei.Although Cai Mao wanted to use his family wealth to redeem Zhang Yun, he hadn't done it yet.
Now that Yiji came to him on his own initiative, Cai Mao thought it was an opportunity.
Soon, Yiji was invited over.After coming to the study, Yi Ji tidied up his clothes a little, and saluted Cai Mao very politely, "I've seen Master Cai."
"Yi Ji, you betrayed Liu Jingzhou, and you still have the face to see me?" Cai Mao turned cold and shouted.
Yi Ji was indifferent, he knew talent and appearance.Knowing that this is just a blow to the horse, with Zhang Yun in his hands, he is very safe.
"This world is the world of the Han Dynasty. The princes of all parties are also guarding the side of the Han Dynasty in name, and General Lu is also a general of the Han Dynasty. I defected to General Lu, which can be said to be a transfer. How can it be said that I have betrayed Liu Jingzhou? What?" Yiji said with a smile.
"Sophistry." Cai Mao said coldly.
"Lord Cai, it's good to speak quickly. Now, General Zhang Yun is in the hands of our General Lu. I don't know what price Cai Daren will pay to bring Zhang Yun back?" Yi Ji didn't have the heart to grind his teeth with Cai Mao, and asked straightforwardly. road.

"That idiot, leave it to General Lu." Cai Mao said coldly.This is bluff.
"Hehe." Yi Ji chuckled when he heard the words, indifferent.
"That's it, I'll take my leave." Immediately afterwards, Yiji got up and said.
Cai Mao didn't stop him immediately, because he also guessed that since Yi Ji came to the door on his own initiative, there must be a conspiracy.Therefore, Cai Mao was bluffing.
He wants to see what bottom line Yiji is.But Yiji quickly stepped out of the study room, really planning to leave.
Only then did Cai Mao's complexion change, and he called out, "Wait."
"Master Cai is finally willing to open the skylight and speak the truth?" Yi Ji stopped in his tracks, and said with a strange smile on his face.
"Yi Ji, this old man will kill you sooner or later." Cai Mao was filled with hatred in his heart, but his face was very calm, and he said, "Tell me, what are you planning?"
"Hehe." Yi Ji chuckled, shook his head, and did not impatiently make his request.
"Hateful." Cai Mao yelled again in his heart, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was Yi Ji who took the initiative now.
"I will exchange five thousand gold for my family wealth and fifty thousand shi for grain in exchange for Zhang Yun." Cai Mao proposed his price and said.In Cai Mao's view, Lu Su's power is a start-up. Now it should be extremely short of funds and food, and the price is not low.
But unfortunately, Yi Ji already knew that Liu Feng owned as much as 20 gold in Jingchu.five thousand gold?It's a lot, but it's still not eye-catching.
"Hehe, General Lu doesn't want to do that." Thus, Yi Ji shook his head resolutely, and said with a smile.
"Add another thousand pairs of leather armor." Seeing this, Cai Mao gritted his teeth with hatred, but still had to increase the price.
"Hehe." Yi Ji shook his head.
"Five hundred more bows." Cai Mao said angrily.
"Hehe." Yiji shook his head again.
"Add another hundred crossbows." Cai Mao's eyes began to turn red, but out of concern for Zhang Yun, he still had to increase the price.
"Hehe." Yi Ji shook his head again.
"What exactly do you want?" Cai Mao finally got angry and said loudly.
"Lord Cai may be very sincere, but General Lu does not lack these things. Some time ago, princes such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce sent too many of these things to General Lu, causing the warehouse to be unable to load them. What is the use of them? "Yi Ji didn't make things difficult for Cai Mao anymore, but he didn't answer immediately, but said proudly.
"Furthermore, as long as General Lu guards Fancheng, Xinye, and Fengcheng, Cao Cao will provide some food and supplies. There is no need for these."
Immediately afterwards, Yiji said again.
Anyway, inside and outside the words, it is said that Lu Su does not need these things.
Indeed, judging from the current quantity of luggage in Liu Feng's warehouse, those are indeed enough.With the current strength of [-] troops, it will not consume too much.
Besides, Cai Mao didn't send much.
One thousand pairs of leather armor, five hundred bows, and one hundred crossbows.Too little.I really don't like it.
"What exactly do you want?" Cai Mao gritted his teeth and said.
"What General Lu doesn't have. Wenpin, Wang Wei's family, clan, and twenty shipwrights." Yi Ji raised his head, looked directly at Cai Mao, and told his price.
Wenpin, Wang Wei's small family is the goal, and the [-] shipwrights are Yiji's eagerness to see Cai Mao, and he joins the price.Jingchu, like Jiangdong, has a well-developed water system.
Without a battleship, it is difficult to gain a foothold.But it just so happens that Liu Feng has no navy, let alone warships.Seeing such a good opportunity, Yiji planned to add some shipwrights to Liu Feng to build warships.

Chapter 286 It's All About Success
"No, everything else is fine, even I can get you a few warships, but the shipbuilder can't do it." Cai Mao's face changed for a while, and he flatly refused.
Although Cai Mao doesn't understand strategy, he also clearly knows that warships can reach places such as Jingchu, Wuyue, and even Yizhou and other states and counties in the Yangtze River Basin. It is conceivable how powerful they can be.
Liu Biao is weak and has a feud with Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, who killed his father. Why can he still gain a foothold in Jingchu and have the confidence to survive under the mighty Jiangdong?
Because of the Yangtze River Basin.In terms of naval forces, Liu Biao does not have an advantage, but in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, if he is condescending, he can take advantage of the situation to attack all parts of the Jiangdong.
The momentum is like a rainbow.
Although Sun Ce often leads troops to fight Huang Zu, if Liu Biao joins the battle, Sun Ce still has to avoid the edge.
But now Lu Su has occupied Fengcheng, which is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which has a great advantage over Xiangyang.If Lu Su's forces have acquired shipwrights and built warships in a steady stream, they can take advantage of the trend and attack Xiangyang.At that time, even if Xiangyang is a tall city, it may not be able to defend it.
Even thinking about this kind of thing, Cai Mao felt that he couldn't do it.
On the contrary, if only a few warships are given, it will be fine.Without your own shipwright, a few warships are useless.
"My lord, don't you want Zhang Yun's life?" Cai Mao's resolute gesture really surprised Yi Ji.However, Yi Ji did not lose his temper, nor did he intend to give up the job of recruiting shipwrights.After pondering for a moment, Yi Ji said.
"Even if I lose Zhang Yun, I can't hand over the shipbuilder to Lu Su." Cai Mao said resolutely.
This time, Yiji really found it difficult.Unexpectedly, Cai Mao still had a bottom line.But can Yiji back down?Seeing that it can maximize the benefits, but it is only brought back to Wenpin, Wang Wei's family, clan?
Yiji is not a quitter.
