Chapter 2942 Liu Yu: Brother Xiu, you want a concubine, don’t
Seeing Liu Xiu, who looked righteous in the last second, but became so merciless the next second, Luo Xian was completely speechless.
Before she came, she thought that Liu Xiu, who had not suffered any losses in many battles with Daqin, would be different from other princes? It seems that there is no difference now. He is the same cheeky and greedy.
Seeing Luo Xian''s expression, Liu Xiu knew that his eating habits were not very good, but he was still embarrassed, his eyes were full of calmness. He was sure that Japan must be inseparable from Chu.
The situation of Chu and Shu is completely different. Shu has no naval army or sea port. If you want to participate in colonization, you can only rely on Chu and Japan, but Chu has no such concerns.
After the outbreak of the East China Sea Naval Battle, the naval forces of the four countries of Wei, Song, Ming and Wei were weakened. On the contrary, the Chu State relied on the step by step to annex the Wu State, but the naval forces were further expanded.
At present, the national strength of Chu is not only second only to the Qin Dynasty, but also to the second largest in the world after the Qin Dynasty.
In addition, although Chu also hopes to participate in colonization, it is not as urgent as Shu.
The State of Chu can also enhance its strength through external expansion, and can also colonize the Southeast Asian countries. It is not like the State of Shu that only Yingzhou is the only option.
Therefore, compared with the Shu and Japanese, the Japanese took the absolute initiative, while the Chu and Japanese took the initiative.
It is precisely because Toyotomi Hideyoshi knew this that when he chose his hard-core allies, he did not count the three kingdoms of Chu, Ming and Song. Instead, he chose Cao Wei, who was about to fall into his country, and Shu Kingdom, which had no sea port but urgently needed wealth. The reason was naturally that he could not control these three naval powers, which was tantamount to in-depth cooperation with the tiger.
As for whether State Chu would not be willing to come? Toyotomi Hideyoshi thinks it is unlikely, and there are two reasons:
First, Liu Xiu himself also wants to participate in the colonization. Japan is now taking the initiative to deliver it to the door, and he has no reason to refuse the benefits of delivering it to the door.
The second is the Shu-Chu Alliance. It is impossible for Shu to stay out of the battle with Chu. Otherwise, the Shu-Chu Alliance will be united, which is not worth the loss for the fight against Qin Daye.
It was precisely because of these two points that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had the confidence to have **** with Liu Xiu for free, but he still underestimated the tacit understanding between Liu Yu and Liu Xiu, as well as the greed in the hearts of the emperor who cared about the world.
If Liu Xiu hadn''t known that Liu Yu had great benefits, he would naturally be very happy to participate in this colonial feast. However, if Liu Yu had to make a fortune, he would only generate electricity for love, then Liu Xiu would naturally not want to.
Your Japan has given Shu such great benefits, but he is not arrogant to our Chu State. Do you look down on me? Do you understand the rules?
In short, due to the obligations of allies, Chu State can transport troops for free, but it is impossible for Japan to land and assist in the war without giving some real benefits.
This made Luo Xian embarrassed. After all, she was just an envoy, she did not have such great power, and she could not be the master of Japan.
Japan''s bottom line is 30% of the profits of Shi Jian Yinshan. Now that Shu Han has eaten all of them, it can only be used to continue to cut off its flesh to impress Chu. But how easy is this?
The Toyotomi family itself only accounts for 10% of the income from Ishijian Yinshan. The 30% of the income promised to Shu Han was cut off from Cao Wei. Cao Pi would definitely not agree to continue to let Cao Wei cut off his losses, and the 10% of the income from Toyotomi family would definitely not impress the Chu State.
It''s difficult to deal with.
Luo Xian couldn''t stop wailing. He thought that the most difficult thing to deal with was Liu Yu, but he didn''t expect that Liu Xiu was even more difficult than him. These emperors were too smart. She could not get any advantage by a woman.
Luo Xian came up with a solution that was not a solution after a long time of silence. Now this matter is far beyond her ability. All she can do is drag it back to Japan and let the master and junior brother have a headache.
Liu Xiu naturally agreed happily in this regard. He naturally knew that Luo Xian could not make the decision and was not interested in making things difficult for a woman. The person behind Luo Xian was playing against him.
As for the negotiations between Chu and Japan, will it be as difficult as Shu and Japan, which will make Liu Xiu give up? Of course, that won''t be.
The Shu Japanese were separated by thousands of miles, and negotiations could only pass through Fei Ge''s letters, which would definitely pass through the territory of the Qin Dynasty. Frequent letters would have the risk of being intercepted by the Qin Dynasty. This is why Liu Yu was unwilling to continue bargaining.
The State of Chu has no such concern at all.
Although the Chu State had not yet reached the seashore, the Wu Navy had been destroyed, and the Yangtze River had become the back garden of the Chu Navy. It would take three or four days to sail from the coastal areas to Yingzhou.
What''s more, in addition to shipping, the Chu and the Japanese can also send letters to fly pigeons, and the flying pigeons do not have to pass through the Qin Dynasty, so there is no risk of being intercepted by the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, Liu Xiuda could help Shu Han transport troops while negotiating with Japan on the way to transport troops. If the negotiations were natural, everything would be fine. If the negotiations were not reached, at least he would send the Shu army back home after he arrived.
Of course, this possibility is very small, and Liu Xiu would not really send the navy troops back just once.
Tidadao returned home, just a means of Liu Xiu''s negotiations, in order to threaten Japan to gain benefits.
Liu Xiu is not that greedy person. If Japan does not want much of the benefits to Shu Han, it is enough to give the same amount of money as Chu. This is not an exaggeration. I believe that Japan will agree with his conditions.
On the same day, Liu Xiu ordered Gan Ning to lead 10,000 navy troops, 10,000 infantry cavalry, and a large number of transport ships to Jianye Port for standby.
After the 30,000 troops of Shu Han arrived, Liu Xiu would take Gan Ning as the main general and lead the 30,000 Shu troops of Shu Han, a total of 50,000 water and land troops to Yingzhou.
The State of Chu has now dominated the Yangtze River waters, but also far surpassed Sun Wu in terms of military strength. If these 20,000 troops are missing, it will not affect the battle to destroy Wu. On the contrary, if these 20,000 troops are used for colonization, it can earn a lot of finance for the State of Chu, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Shu Han sent 30,000 troops and 20,000 troops in Chu State. Although it is not a large number, its combat power is not weak. If all of them are used in Yingzhou, it is already a force that is enough to control the situation.
If it were before the Battle of the East China Sea, Liu Xiu would not have thrown the 20,000 troops so rashly. After all, at that time, the Qin Navy was still the well-deserved water overlord. If he transported his troops to Yingzhou like this, he would definitely be intercepted by the Qin Navy at sea.
Fortunately, after the Battle of the East China Sea, the Qin naval army also suffered serious losses. Currently, like the three naval armies of Wei, Song and Ming dynasties, they are silently restoring their military strength. At this critical moment, it is obvious that it is impossible to make additional enemies and fight another battle with the Chu naval army at sea.
"As long as the negotiations with Japan are successful, not only can all the funds to destroy Wu be earned, but even the Jiangdong funds for governance and development do not have to be released from the treasury..."
As soon as he thought of this, Liu Xiu''s lips couldn''t help but rise. Since he took power, he had been living a poor life. He wanted to use a copper coin as two. It would be better until he completely occupied Jiaozhou, but he could not be called rich. However, his income not only exceeded his expenditures, but also gave him the illusion that he could not spend all his money in his pocket in the future.
If Liu Xiu had so much money at the beginning, he would definitely raise Jiangling''s city defense to another level, so that he would not have fought with Yue Fei three times on the offensive and defensive battles against Jiangling. "Alas, everything is caused by poverty, but now I, Liu Xiu, don''t have to worry about money."
Just as Liu Xiu was happily recalling the past and enjoying the future, he was about to usher in another back stab from Shu Han. However, compared to Liu Ji''s malicious intention, Liu Yu was kind-hearted this time, which made Liu Xiu feel a little polite.
Back to Liu Yu, after negotiating cooperation with Wei and Japanese, the Japanese envoy Luo Xian followed the army to negotiate with Chu, while the Wei envoy Cao Ying was preparing to return home and return to the Central Plains.
Cao Ying will serve as an envoy this time, one is that she happens to be near Yizhou, and the other is that she is the identity of Cao Cao''s concubine, which is easier to obtain evidence and more easily gain trust from the senior leaders of Shu Han.
What Cao Ying didn''t expect was that it was precisely because of this identity that she could never go back to the Central Plains.
On this day, Cao Ying packed her bags and was about to leave the embassy, ??but she walked out of the door and found two people following her.
Both of these two have extremely advanced skills. At least Cao Ying cannot find the bottom, so he is sure to be a master above the early stage of the Grandmaster.
The two told Cao Ying that they were the guards sent by Liu Yu to protect her, and this was obviously imprisonment in the name of protection.
In this way, Cao Ying was restricted by Liu Yu to Chengdu City, and there were two masters and masters following him everywhere, but she didn''t understand why Liu Yu did this. It was not until Liu Yu summoned her again two days later that she understood Liu Yu''s intention to do so.
Cao Ying thought that Liu Yu would put her under house arrest, and it was probably because he was coveting her beauty. After all, it was no wonder that a lustful person who bullied his widowed sister-in-law would fall in love with her such a young girl.
But what Cao Ying didn''t expect was that even though the two met alone in private, she didn''t see any **** in Liu Yu''s eyes, and Liu Yu did not do anything wrong.
After some rigging and testing, Cao Ying couldn''t help but ask straight to the point: "Your Majesty, why are you not letting your little girl leave?"
Liu Yu smiled slightly when he heard this, "Although my actions are a bit unrestrained, they are actually out of kindness."
Cao Ying sneered in her heart when she heard this. She wanted to hear what kind of good intentions Liu Yu had.
"Princess, you are at the age of marriage, but you are still working hard for your father''s great cause. You are a hero among girls."
Hearing Liu Yu''s words, Cao Ying said in his heart that it was true. She knew that Liu Yu was lustful, but she did not expect that the other party would not even let the envoy of a country go.
To be honest, Cao Ying did not have any disgust towards Liu Yu, but instead admired his endurance of humiliation.
In addition, Liu Yu''s abilities and appearance are also top-notch. Apart from being lustful, he seems to have no shortcomings, but lustfulness is actually not a disadvantage for the emperor.
So, for Cao Ying, marrying Liu Yu is not unacceptable, but she doesn''t understand why Liu Yu wants to do this.
If Liu Yu really wanted to force her, Cao Ying couldn''t refuse. If she wanted to marry her, it would be easier. Just go to Wei to propose marriage directly. Her father Cao Cao probably wouldn''t refuse, so why did Liu Yu do this?
Just when Cao Ying thought that Liu Yu wanted to say something and wanted to take him as his concubine, he didn''t expect that Liu Yu would not play according to common sense.
“I have a younger brother, who is talented, outstanding in appearance, and has the best power in the world.
After hearing about the princess''s deeds, he also admired the princess very much and threatened to not marry her if she was the princess.
As my brother, I couldn''t bear to have a disease with my younger brother''s lovesickness, so I came up with this bad idea and force the princess to stay first..."
Hearing this, Cao Ying was stunned. She thought that it was Liu Yu who fell in love with her, but she didn''t expect that it was Liu Yu''s younger brother who fell in love with her.
Although Liu Yu''s younger brother cannot be compared with Liu Yu, if Liu Yu really loves his brother and forcefully marry him, Cao Ying would not refuse at all.
"well…"
Cao Ying sighed in her heart. She had already had a premonition of her future and began to think about which younger brother she would marry Liu Yu.
As Liu Yu, the eldest son of Liu Yan, he has many younger brothers, but which younger brother should he marry? Is it Liu Fan? Or Liu Zhang? Or...
As soon as he thought of this, Cao Ying subconsciously looked at the tall and mighty Liu Er (Liu Er) behind Liu Yu.
Liu Er is also Liu Yu''s younger brother. Not only does the two brothers have the best relationship, but Liu Er is also unmarried, which is exactly in line with Liu Yu''s description.
But Liu Er''s appearance and his dense hair are considered to be a compliment to him. He really cannot be linked to the four words "excellent" appearance.
"Forget it, Liu Er is also a top-notch general in the world. Marrying such a hero is not considered as insulting me, Cao Ying."
Cao Ying thought to himself that after all, there was no choice, so she could only choose to accept it. After thinking through it, she found that Liu Er was also quite pleased.
It is actually normal for Cao Ying''s mentality to change so quickly. After all, her aesthetic taste is different from that of ordinary people. In "Seeing the Dragon to Removing Armor", it is not surprising that she can look at Zhao Yun, who is in her seventies, and it is not surprising that she can look at the ugly but powerful Liu Er.
On the contrary, Liu Er didn''t understand why Cao Ying was always staring at him. He was a Buddhist disciple and was devoted to martial arts and was completely uninterested in beauty.
In Liu Er''s eyes, women may not be as good as the iron rod in their hands. If it weren''t for protecting their brother Liu Yu, he would have met Cao Ying in his entire life.
