Shi A leaned against Zhuge Liang and gave him a wink.

Zhuge Liang looked for fame, but he saw a man in front of him. He was over ten feet tall, with a broad body, a thick back, and a waist that was almost ten inches wide. His face was like moss, with yellow hair and blue eyes, red eyebrows and a wide mouth. He wore gold rings on both ears, and a crown on his head that reached the sky!

What the hell......

This person is definitely not from the Central Plains, but a foreigner!

Zhuge Liang recognized this person's identity at a glance. After all, Jiaozhou is a vast territory, and it is normal for there to be some foreign races in the southernmost part.

Shi A was so frightened that his forehead was sweating!

Just from the size of the opponent, I knew that he was a strong warrior. If they really got into a fight, I might not be able to care about Zhuge Liang.

He quickly lowered his voice and said:"Military advisor, if a fight breaks out and I entangle this person, you leave quickly. As soon as you leave the state pastor's house, our people will be there to help you!"

Zhuge Liang sneered and responded softly:"Shi A Don't worry, nothing serious will happen!"

Shi Yan reminded:"Mr. Kong Ming, this man is my father's personal guard, called Kui Mu, and he is brave enough to be worthy of any man!"

Zhuge Liang just nodded and remained calm and calm. , the feather fan shakes slightly!

What he sensed in this fierce general's eyes was kindness.

Kuimu cupped his fists and raised his hands, and said loudly:"Mr. Zhuge, my lord has invited me."

Zhuge Liang hummed softly and walked away generously:"General, please lead the way!"

Kuimu walked in front, glared fiercely, Guang Bilu said:"Go away!"

After a while.

Zhuge Liang followed Kuimu to an octagonal pavilion in the inner house of the mansion.

There is a person sitting in the hall, his beard and hair are all white, but he is energetic.

He seemed to have been prepared for it. He had prepared a banquet table and even set out tea and fruits.

Zhuge Liang came to the hall and saluted Shi Xie:"Zhuge Liang has seen Shi Jiaozhou." Shi

Xie pinched his beard, smiled lightly, waved his hand and said,"You are indeed a young hero. Come and sit aside for a while."

Zhuge Liang sat aside, with tea already prepared on the table in front of him.

This is not Shi Xie's hospitality.

But before Zhuge Liang, guests had already met with Shi Xie.

If nothing else happens, it should be Jiangdong’s envoy Bu Zhi!

Shi Xie had occupied Jiaozhou for many years, so it was impossible for him not to have the etiquette of receiving guests.

The reason why he was like this, Zhuge Liang guessed, was because he wanted to let him know that Bu Zhi had been here before. why?

Zhuge Liang laughed secretly.

It's just to wait for a price and get a good price.

Everything is under his control!

Shi Xie raised a glass to invite him, Zhuge Liang took a sip and Quan made a gesture.

"Mr. Kong Ming, we might as well get straight to the point. Shi Xie said calmly

"It would be best if Shijiaozhou could do this."Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan gently and said.

Shi Xie took a deep breath and spoke slowly:"To be honest with you, Jiaozhou has a vast territory. Under the governance of a certain scholar, it has a population of tens of millions, more than 500,000 armored men, money and food. countless. Zhuge

Liang said softly:"With a population of tens of millions, Jiaozhou is indeed very good. The population of one county in Taishan, my lord, is only seven or eight million!""

Shi Xie's face suddenly sank.

Jiaozhou is a vast territory. Although it appears smaller on the map, it is actually several times larger than Jingzhou.

Compared with Taishan County, it is truly vast and sparsely populated! The area of ​​Taishan County is far less than that of Jiaozhou, but the difference in population is very small.

This makes Shi Xie feel like he has been slapped in the face!

Zhuge Liang looked calm, waving his feather fan lightly, and did not feel any discomfort at all because he said the wrong thing Feeling.

Because!

He did it on purpose! If you dare to show off in front of us, you really deserve to be beaten!

Shixie smiled bitterly and continued:"I think when I first arrived in Jiaozhou, I could really use the word"deserted" to describe it, but what about now? Great governance in Jiaozhou, the people are prosperous, and the people's hearts are loyal!"

"Although a scholar has worked hard for most of his life, he does not dare to take credit for himself. He just wants to live in a corner and do his best to be worthy of the people of this state!"

Ha ha ha!

Zhuge Liang knew it at a glance.

Shi Xie was telling him that Jiaozhou belongs to him and the people's hearts are attached to it. It's not that easy for you to take it away.

Zhuge Liang said softly:"The wealth in Jiaozhou is not at all compared to Jingzhou. It is worth mentioning that at this time, under the governance of my lord, Xiangyang was more prosperous and the people were happier than before."

Obviously.

Zhuge Liang is not someone to be trifled with.

The meaning is very clear. If we can win Jingzhou, which has the support of the people, we can also win Jiaozhou, which has the support of the people.

They are all old monsters with thousands of years, so Shi Xie naturally understands what Zhuge Liang means. Meaning.

The other party was so aggressive, which made him a little unhappy.

But Shi Xie was a sensible person.

Don’t think that the price Liu Yao gave him was high, but it was money for life.

He had a life to make money but no life to spend money. He Shi Xie didn't bother to do it.

He originally thought that he would use this as a basis to blackmail Wang Hao, and at least he would get a good position.

But who would have thought.

From the other party's tone, Shi Xie didn't feel anything at all. There is no trace of goodwill.

It is a kind of naked, even blatant strong pressure.

Zhuge Liang said softly:"Shi Jiaozhou, we are all sensible people, and Liang will not beat around the bush with you. It's not that my lord can't win Jiaozhou, but that he can't defeat Jiaozhou." I don't want to waste too much time and energy here. Shi

Xie didn't take it seriously. He simply sat upright and said,"At first, Emperor Liu Biao of Chu and Han had the same idea. He attacked Jiaozhou no less than a hundred times, but he returned without success every time." Zhuge

Liang's lips curled up with a hint of sinisterness:"My lord is by no means a mediocre person like the Emperor of Chu and Han. To compare my lord with this, I'm afraid Shijiaozhou will have to pay the price for this!" Shi

Xie sipped his tea and continued:"You also said just now that we are all sensible people. Although Wang Hao has strong soldiers and horses, it will be even more difficult to completely occupy Jiaozhou!""

The meaning is very clear. No matter how powerful you are, you can't completely destroy me!

Zhuge Liang did not hide it:"Unfortunately, my lord likes to overcome difficulties, whether it is Yuan Shao in Hebei or Lu Bu in Liangzhou. My lord has no backhand power at all!"

Shi Xie was holding back his anger, but on his face he looked like a fine person. He was drinking tea and chatting as usual, and it didn't affect him at all.

"Yuan Shao and Lu Bu are different from me. I am afraid you will have to pay a heavy price for this!"

嘚~~~~

Shi Xie's ability to learn and sell now is quite good.

It's a pity that he met Xiao Zhuge, the spitting god.

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and said calmly:"Your name is not as good as Yuan Shao's, and your martial arts is not as good as Lu Bu's. It is indeed inappropriate to compare you to other Your Excellencies, but the one who has to pay a heavy price for this will probably be you, right?"

Shi Xie was furious:"you......"

Zhuge Liang took a deep breath and spoke slowly:"I think Shijiaozhou may not understand the current situation. Even if you join forces with Liu Yao, I'm afraid you won't be able to shake my lord at all.""

"My lord ordered me to come here to persuade the soldiers to surrender to Jiaozhou. It is out of benevolence and righteousness that the tens of thousands of people in Jiaozhou will be saved from disaster. I hope that you can clearly understand the situation and make the right decision!"
