Chapter 522: The deal of 400,000 lives
Suddenly, the curtain of the big tent was opened, and a ray of warm sunshine shone in, but Jia Yu's face turned slightly pale.
Jia Yu subconsciously hugged her daughter tightly in her arms and secretly lifted the short knife hidden in her sleeve. She already had the worst plan in mind.
Seeing that the visitor was a handsome and masculine young man, Jia Yu's eyes became more wary.
Appearances cannot tell whether a person is good or bad, and in the years he has been in charge of the Qin family's caravan, Jia Yu has seen too many hypocrites.
“General Xiang, this is Qin Hao’s mother Qin, and that little girl is Qin Hao’s sister, Qin Xuewu.”
Yang Dingtian introduced Xiang Yu, but little did he know that his words "General Xiang" chilled Jia Yu's heart.
“It’s actually Xiang Yu.”
Jia Yu felt extremely desperate. She knew the grudge between Xiang Yu and her son, so she couldn't think of any reason to be rescued.
Seeing that Xiang Yu was still approaching, Jia Yu quickly pointed the scissors at her neck and shouted: "Stop, don't come over."
Xiang Yu didn't expect that Jia Yu would be so strong. Before he even said a word, she would defend her dignity with death. He couldn't help but admire this legendary mother in his heart.
Seeing this, Yang Dingtian hurriedly said: "Mrs. Qin, if you have something to say, we won't hurt you and will send you back soon."
When Jia Yu heard this, a trace of disdain flashed at the corner of her mouth, and she believed that the other party was tricking her, so she said sternly: "You deliberately kidnapped our mother and daughter, and now you say you won't hurt us? You also say you want to let us go? Are you lying? ?”
A hint of shame suddenly flashed in Yang Dingtian's eyes. After all, he had kidnapped this person, so it was normal not to trust him now.
Xiang Yu also knew that Jia Yu would not believe him, so he said helplessly: "Then what do you want, Mrs. Qin?"
Jia Yu's eyes flashed with surprise. Xiang Yu's attitude seemed a little too weak. Is this young man really the overlord Xiang Yu?
It seems like it can be outsmarted? It's a matter of life and death, fight it out!
Jia Yu was immediately worried. She was not in the mood to tell whether Xiang Yu was genuine or not, so she went straight to the point: "I want to do a business with General Xiang Yu."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes, and he felt that Qin Hao's mother was interesting, so he asked with a playful look: "What business?"
"If the wife guessed correctly, General Xiang rescued 200,000 prisoners of war this time, and now plans to break through Dagong Pass and return to Yanzhou. But has the general considered the fate of the remaining 400,000 prisoners of war?"
Xiang Yu and Yang Dingtian's expressions suddenly became very ugly, and a trace of shame flashed in their eyes. They knew that what awaited another 400,000 people must be a massacre, and the two of them were the culprits.
"Mrs. Qin, Xiang Yu is a straightforward person. Just say what you want to say without beating around the bush with me."
Xiang Yu said coldly, he had a vague feeling that what Jia Yu said later might be related to the 400,000 prisoners of war.
Seeing the shame in their eyes, Jia Yu was overjoyed. This gave him a slight hope of getting out of trouble, so he said calmly:
“I want to use the lives of these 400,000 people in exchange for our mother and daughter’s escape. I wonder if General Xiang thinks this deal is a good deal?”
Jia Yu bit the word "whole body" very hard, and a trace of surprise flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes.
Sure enough, how could a tiger cub be raised by a dog mother?
Qin Wen was powerful enough that he dared to fight against the Yellow Turban's million-strong army alone; Qin Hao was powerful enough that he destroyed his own army of 400,000 in one plan;
But Xiang Yu didn't expect Qin Hao's mother to be so sharp. This opening could cost 400,000 lives. Do you want to be so strong?
Sure enough, it’s not that one family doesn’t want to enter the same house. Xiang Yu secretly thought.
After a brief shock, Xiang Yu fell into deep thought again. He was weighing the truth of what Jia Yu said, but no matter how he thought about it, he felt that Jia Yu was lying to him.
Yang Dingtian obviously didn't believe it either, and immediately said: "Mrs. Qin, this is not a joke? How could the Han Dynasty release 400,000 prisoners of war?"
Jia Yu was slightly relieved when she saw the two of them taking the bait, and said calmly: "The woman never said she wanted the big man to release these 400,000 prisoners of war."
Seeing this, Xiang Yu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean, Mrs. Qin?"
“There are ways for women to avoid being massacred.”
Hearing this, Xiang Yu actually believed Jia Yu. After all, it was impossible for the Han Dynasty to release the prisoners of war, and it might be possible to avoid the massacre.
Jia Yu's words gave Xiang Yu a glimmer of hope, and he said solemnly: "Mrs. Qin, tell me your plan. If you can really save these 400,000 athletes, you will be my benefactor, Xiang Yu, from now on."
Jia Yu naturally didn't believe it, but in order to ensure the safety of her mother and daughter, she still had to continue to deal with the two of them.
“General, since two years ago, most of the Yellow Turban prisoners of war have been exiled to the north to guard the border.
At present, there are hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban prisoners of war in the north. They are all living peacefully in the north and contributing their own strength to resist the aliens.
As for the wife who is going south this time, in addition to accompanying my son to marry the princess, the other thing she wants to do is to persuade your majesty to immigrate to the Hetao.
Jiafu is leading the army to attack the Hetao. After taking all the land in the Hetao, a large number of people will be needed to fill it before the Hetao can be completely taken back from the Huns. "
Xiang Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Mrs. Qin, what do you mean..."
Such a simple truth, even my wife understands it, but Xiang Yu didn’t react until he had already mentioned it.
Although Jia Yu despised Xiang Yu's IQ in her heart, she didn't show it on her face at all. She still explained calmly: "Yes, aren't these 400,000 prisoners of war who are bound to die the best to fill the population?
If the general is willing to let the woman and the young daughter go, the woman is willing to persuade your majesty to exile all the 400,000 prisoners of war to the Hetao garrison. Wouldn't it be possible to avoid massacre in this way? "
As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Yu was surprised by his own wit.
Why didn’t you think of such a good way to escape before? Just perfect. Jia Yu secretly thought.
Jia Yu only had one purpose for going south this time. As for persuading Liu Hong, of course they were all made up temporarily to deceive Xiang Yu.
In Jia Yu’s heart, the most important thing is that she and her daughter can get out of trouble. As for lying, isn’t that a woman’s nature?
Whoever believes it is stupid!
Judging from the expressions of Xiang Yu and Yang Dingtian, Jia Yu knew that these two people really believed it, and that she and her daughter finally had hope of getting out of trouble.
Given the choice between the life and death of the 400,000 prisoners of war and the life and death of his own mother and daughter, Jia Yu believed that Xiang Yu would definitely choose the 400,000 prisoners of war. After all, there was no comparison at all.
Jia Yu now finally understands why Xiang Yu was repeatedly defeated by his son, mainly because of his IQ!
I rarely have free time, so here is my second update. I hope the general can contribute a wave of subscriptions and recommendation votes for the approaching decisive battle...
