"Conversation on conditions? What conditions are we talking about? What conditions can we have to talk about with you!"

Deng Ai smiled and said, "I think you are here to attack my Ancheng for food and grass. I don't think so. I will send five thousand stones of food and grass to you. How about you withdraw your troops directly after you get the food and grass?"

"Five thousand stones of grain and grass, you're sending the beggars! We have a hundred thousand troops here!" One of them said.

The Book of Han records that thirty jin is junction, four jin is stone, one stone is 120 jin, and ten thousand jin is 600,000 jin. Six hundred thousand jin sounds a lot, but if it is evenly distributed to 100,000 people, 600,000 jin will not be eaten for a few days. Although the calculation of jin in the Han Dynasty is different from the calculation of jin in the current state, 5,000 jin of grain is indeed far from enough for a hundred thousand troops.

Deng Ai sneered and said, "I gave these five thousand stones of food and grass to you for free. As for whether it is enough or how you allocate it, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Hmph, there is not enough food and grass. What's the use of us? It's better to capture Ancheng more affordable. How much food is needed at that time!" said one of the robbers, and the others nodded in agreement with the robber's statement.

"Hmph..." Deng Ai's face showed a strange smile, and then he said, "Okay, then you will attack the city! But I can guarantee that you will not lose half of your troops, don't want to take my city! And by the day you break the city, I will burn all the food and grass in the city. I can guarantee that you won't get a grain of food!"

Deng Ai said firmly, every word was sonorous, with a sense of determination and no room for buffering. The robbers all heard the unquestionable smell in Deng Ai's tone and frowned.

Seeing Deng Ai's serious expression and Deng Ai's record of burning down 100,000 robbers in a fire, no one suspected that Deng Ai was telling a lie. For this group of robbers, they could recruit them again if they died, but if Deng Ai really burned all the food, then everyone would not get a single grain of food. Even if they captured Ancheng, what's the use? At this time, the robbers were all silent, and everyone didn't say anything.

Weighing the pros and cons, everyone knows that it is much better to get five thousand stones of food and grass without spending one soldier than to get a huge casualties and end up not getting a grain of food. However, these five thousand stones of food and grass are indeed too few for 100,000 people.

Finally, one of them said, "Are you really willing to give us food?"

Deng Ai nodded: "Yes, I said Deng Ai to do it. But I can't control how you allocate these five thousand grains and grass!"

Then Deng Ai looked at the robber leader with great meaning, pointed at the number of people, and then said with great meaning: "How about this, I see that you have fifteen people out, and I will divide the 5,000 stone grain into fifteen portions. How about one portion of each of you?"

"That won't work. I've sold a lot of people this time. If each person has a share, I will suffer the most! The five thousand stones of food and grass will cost 1,000!" One of them said immediately.

"Hmph! So what if there are too many people? You old, weak, sick and disabled people can compare with my subordinates. All my subordinates are strong men. When siege the city, you have to look at my subordinates. I also want one thousand food!" Another person said.

"This time the engineering weapons are all made by my subordinates. I have produced people and made things! I also want a thousand!" The person next to me immediately spoke.

As soon as they heard that these three people had divided three thousand stones of food and grass, they stopped doing the other twelve people.

"Why do you have to get a thousand stones of food and grass?"

"Just because of my many people, how about it? Call out your people if you don't accept it, let's fight a battle."

"Bah, you have more people than we have! We are not afraid of you!"

In the distance, Deng Ai looked at everything in front of him coldly. As expected, the biggest weakness of these robbers was that they lacked a unified command. More than a dozen people gathered together, which seemed to be huge, but they did not trust each other. The robbers were combined entirely because of their interests, and now they will naturally become hostile for their interests.

At this time, Deng Ai began to sow discord without hesitation. Did he tease them verbally and add a fire to them? Although Deng Ai stuttered, Deng Ai had a characteristic of this stuttering, that is, he stuttered when he should stutter, and never stuttered when he should not stutter. Now that it is time to sow discord and not stutter, Deng Ai stopped stuttering. Deng Ai was lingering in a while, and after a short moment, everyone left unhappily.

After Deng Ai returned to the city, he immediately ordered people to release a thousand stones of food and grass, which was placed before the robber camp.
