Using population to exchange is perhaps the most feasible method, which is much better than cede land, but Jiang Ji dared not make any decisions.

He asked, "How to change it?"

He wanted to ask clearly, and then go back and tell Cao Cao that he would come up with his ideas.

"A young and strong man, two are replaced by one with a low-class war horse, five are replaced by one with one with a medium-class war horse, and the top-class requires ten people..." Guo Jia slowly said the price, which made Jiang Ji's face turn pale. This is too cruel and treacherous.

In the end, Jiang Ji said goodbye and left on the grounds that he could not make decisions. He needed to go back and tell Cao Cao that he would make a decision.

......

"Jiang Ji is gone?"

Guo Jia went back to report this matter to Liu Zhe. Liu Zhe asked with a smile: "Has he agreed?"

"No." Guo Jia shook his head and said, "But it seems that he is moved. I think Cao Cao should agree."

Cao Cao was bullied by the cavalry. Whether it was dealing with Zhang Xiu, Liu Bei or Gongsun Zan, he needed cavalry, otherwise his infantry would be at an absolute disadvantage if the two armies faced each other.

The plan to exchange war horses with population is the best choice for Cao Cao. Yanzhou has a population, and it would be better for Cao Cao to appropriately reduce the population with Cao Cao's existing resources.

"Lord, the head of the Pavilion is asking for a meeting."

As soon as the guard finished speaking, Cai Yong trotted in from outside. Yes, it was a trot. Cai Yong did not have the usual steady and calm appearance. He trotted in all the way, as if he was anxious.

"Father-in-law, what?" Liu Zhe was very curious. He saw Cai Yong like this for the first time.

"Son-in-law, let's go and attack Yangzhou." After Cai Yong ran in, his first sentence shocked Liu Zhe and Guo Jia so much that he opened his mouth wide, not understanding what Cai Yong was doing.

"Father-in-law, what happened?" Liu Zhe asked again, and asked him to breathe a sigh of relief before talking.

"Son-in-law, please take a look at this first." Cai Yong took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liu Zhe. Liu Zhe took it and saw that it was actually a blank paper produced in Youzhou.

Then Liu Zhe looked at it and found that this was a letter of help. The owner of the letter was Mr. Qiao. Because Yangzhou had been in chaos recently, he hoped to come to Youzhou to take refuge and ask Cai Yong to help.

"What's the problem?" After reading it, Liu Zhe became even more strange. He was Cai Yong's friend, so just call him directly? Why don't Liu Zhe not let him come?

"Son-in-law, you don't know that Mr. Qiao lives in Lujiang and is a local family. How can he reach Youzhou with his family?"

Liu Zhe understood what Cai Yong meant. From Lujiang to Youzhou, he had to pass through the territory of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. These two people were considered enemies of Liu Zhe. How could he let Mr. Qiao surrender to Liu Zhe? The better thing was to detain him, and the more cruel he would just get rid of the matter.

Liu Zhe thought for a while and asked, "Does my father-in-law want me to send someone to pick him up?"

"It's not safe to send people. It's better to conquer Xuzhou first, then Shouchun, and finally Yangzhou at the same time. This will ensure that Mr. Qiao is safe."

Over the years, the army under Liu Zhe has been invincible and defeated in every battle, which has made great scholars like Cai Yong full of confidence. He opened his mouth to capture Xuzhou, Shouchun and Yangzhou, and was very domineering.

When Liu Zhe heard this, he was also amused and laughed. He said that sending troops to attack Xuzhou now does not conform to the current strategy set by Youzhou. Even if the troops are sent, it will not be difficult to capture for a while. Yangzhou is now in a military chaos, and it will be too late to attack Liu Zhe's army.

It’s not that Cai Yong didn’t know about this, but that he was too concerned and became anxious for a moment, and was in a mess.

After Cai Yong calmed down, he knew that his words had just been a little reckless, so he asked anxiously: "Son-in-law, what should I do?"

Liu Zhe comforted him: "Father-in-law, don't worry, let me think about it."

It is definitely not possible to take the land route. Since that is the case, you can only walk on the sea route. Lujiang is close to the sea, and it will be convenient to go from the sea.

Since you have to go on the sea, you will definitely not be able to avoid Liu Xin.

"Where is Xiao Xin?" Liu Zhe asked Guo Jia curiously.

"Xiao Xin?" Cai Yong suddenly became alert and asked, "What's wrong with this girl Guan Xiaoxin?"

Guo Jia immediately understood what Liu Zhe meant: "Lord, do you want the navy to be dispatched?"

Liu Zhe nodded and said, "Yes, it's troublesome on land, so just go by sea. Anyway, Yangzhou is not strong now and it's a navy. With our strength, it's enough."

Liu Zhe ordered: "Dian Wei, go and find Xiao Xin."

"promise."

Dian Wei took the order to leave.

Cai Yong was very surprised and asked, "Isn't Xiaoxin at home?"

Liu Zhe nodded and said, "Well, she is not at home."

Cai Yong couldn't help but ask, "Where did she go? Has she completed the homework assigned by me?"

Liu Zhe asked curiously: "What homework? Why haven't I heard her say it?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about it." Cai Yong suddenly stopped talking about this issue.

Liu Xin was soon found. She jumped in. When she found Cai Yong, her face immediately became unfavorable. Cai Yong assigned her a lot of homework, all of which were copied. She had to copy books such as "The Analects of Confucius" and "The Book of Songs" several times.

Liu Xin knew that Cai Yong was retaliation, so she asked her to find two concubines for Liu Zhe and set up Youzhou No. 1 newspaper to fight with his Zangge newspaper. Now the two families are still fighting happily.
