Chapter 1013 Liu Dan begs for mercy
Yang Rui would come with transaction conditions, which was not beyond Sun Jian's expectations, but Sun Jian obviously did not expect that Yang Rui's conditions were actually about a engagement with the Qiao family.
"Ah... since it was a condition proposed by my virtuous brother, I naturally agreed to everything. I will break my trust once and submit it to the Qiao family. I will terminate the engagement with the Qiao family. I only hope that the two nieces can have a better home..."
Faced with Yang Rui's conditions to terminate the engagement with the Qiao family, Sun Jian thought for a moment and agreed, but his eyes looked at Yang Rui a little strange, and there seemed to be hints in his words.
Obviously, Sun Jian misunderstood Yang Rui and believed that Yang Rui was greedy for beauty and then proposed the conditions for resolving the engagement.
"In this way, I sent someone to Linzi City to inform the relevant people. I wonder if Brother Wentai has exclusive transmission tools and so on to deliver the goods?"
Yang Rui did not care too much about Sun Jian's words, and seemed to have no consciousness to break up a good thing. He just focused the topic on the delivery of goods, and deliberately ignored the matter of resolving the engagement.
Moreover, when Yang Rui proposed this matter, he used the excuse of others as an excuse and did not say exactly why he did this, which aroused Sun Jian's speculation.
In fact, Yang Rui was very clear that whether some things were achieved or not has much to do with whether the reasons were sufficient. The key was whether they were in line with each other's interests and whether they had the value of operations.
The reason why Sun Jian agreed to terminate the engagement so quickly was that on the one hand, he believed that a engagement was far from being a good friend with Yang Rui. On the other hand, Sun Jian just talked casually with Qiao Xuan after drinking, and didn't even have time to tell Sun Ce and Sun Quan.
It was indeed Sun Quan. Sun Jian proposed a engagement with Qiao Xuan, but Zhou Yu did not have any relationship. Of course, Sun Jian's two sons himself were his own, and he even planned to marry Erqiao to the same son.
After all, the agreement between Sun Jian and Qiao Xuan was not very specific, and the node where it occurred was not too formal, and it only stayed on the basis of the verbal agreement, and it was not very solid.
The matter was completed. Although Yang Rui and Sun Jian were tacitly aware of it, they were both satisfied. So they had a good banquet in Liyang City, and then they both dispersed after having enough food.
During the banquet, Yang Rui and Sun Jian agreed on the final transaction method. Since Sun Jian did not have props such as Hu Lian's weapon, Sun Jian decided to send people to Linzi City to pick up the goods, and he should also have props such as rings on hand.
During the meal, Yang Rui also communicated with Sun Jian about the relationship between the two parties. Although he did not reach an alliance like he did with Gongsun Zan, it was also much closer than before, at least to the level of trust and cooperation.
Yang Rui also paid special attention to the situation of Sun Jian's naval army. Judging from the situation mentioned by Sun Jian, although the strength of the Sun family's naval army is quite good, there should be no large warships such as tower ships for the time being.
This reminded Yang Rui of the rewards he received when he captured Luoyang City with Sun Jian. At that time, Yang Rui chose the map of the 14th state and the reward package for the tower ship, and left the remaining reward package for the imperial jade seal to Sun Jian.
Therefore, it is normal for Sun Jian to be unable to master the drawings of large warships such as tower ships. In terms of naval forces, no other princes in the Three Kingdoms civilization area can compare with Yang Rui.
After the banquet, Yang Rui did not accept Sun Jian's retention and stayed for more. He directly used Sky City to leave Liyang City, first heading north and then turning west.
The purpose of leaving the north gate and heading north was to avoid Sun Jian's suspicion. But Yang Rui turned to the west halfway through, and was heading towards Jingzhou.
Yang Rui's destination was Yizhou to bring Liu Dan to his hand. As for the transaction reached with Sun Jian, Yang Rui used a carrier pigeon to directly send a letter to Sun Gan, Linzi City, and explained in detail.
Although there was no plan to visit Liu Biao in Jingzhou again, Yang Rui also happened to pass by Jingzhou. Although Liu Biao in Jingzhou did not collect many people in historical facts, it is undeniable that the talented people in Jingzhou were counted in the late Han and Three Kingdoms period!
While Yang Rui was operating the Sky City along the way, he was also paying attention to the situation in Jingzhou below, hoping to discover the figures of some powerful and strange people.
At this time, there was not much time before Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang's birth. At the same time, Jingzhou also had Sima Hui, Pang Tong, Song Zhong, Han Song, Shi Tao, Meng Jian, Cuizhou and other capable people, and any one of them was an extraordinary person.
However, it is not easy for capable people to see and discover. Places such as Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage residence, I believe that when the time is ripe, the game will not open relevant maps, and no matter how you look, you may not find them.
Therefore, Yang Rui was just distracted and paid attention along the way, and did not have any hope to discover anything.
"Censor Liu, I'm going to send you back to Yizhou in this leisure time to comfort his father's heroic spirit."
In the Sky City, Yang Rui called Liu Dan to the Political Consultative Office to explain the purpose of the trip.
"Thank you, Lord Lieyang Prefecture! I just don't know what the situation in Yizhou is like at this time. I hope Lord Zhou Mu can take more care of him..."
Liu Dan had known about Liu Yan's death before, but Yang Rui did not send him back to Yizhou at that time, so he had no choice.
If Liu Dan could be sent back in time at that time, there might be hope to compete for the inheritance rights of the governor of Yizhou Province. However, Yang Rui wanted to send him back, and Yizhou would probably have become a tiger's den.
"If it is within a certain ability, I will naturally try my best to protect Yushi Liu..."
Yang Rui gave an ambiguous reply, which was actually equivalent to not giving Liu Dan any promises.
It was already a great kindness for Yang Rui to save Liu Dan, Zhong Shao and Ma Yu. Otherwise, the three of them would have died under the swords of Li Jue and Guo Si's troops. Later, Ma Yu and Zhong Shao both depended on Yang Rui and were appointed by Yang Rui as the prefect of Penglai County and the prime minister of Jinan.
Only Liu Dan's life was saved by Yang Rui, but he was unwilling to rely on Yang Rui due to his background. Now it is normal for Yang Rui to deal with him no matter what he does.
"Mr. Zhou Mu, if Dan returns to Yizhou at this time, my brother Liu Zhang will definitely not tolerate me. Please protect me. Don't send Dan back to Yizhou..."
The more Liu Dan thought about it, the more wrong it became. In the end, he couldn't help but ask Yang Rui for advice. When facing the threat of life and death, Liu Dan couldn't help but lose his footing.
