Liu Biao wanted too much.
This made Su Gu feel indignant and angry.
However, Liu Bei had asked for too little, which made Su Gu somewhat incredulous and worried.
Having lived to Su Gu's age, he did not think that there was such a good thing in this world.
You, Liu Bei, helped me defend a prefecture and seven counties, but in the end, you only asked for two villages in the salt mining area.
Was that even possible?
It was true that once Liu Bei owned these two salt mining villages, he would definitely earn a lot of money.
But so what?
In this chaotic world, money was important, but it was not as attractive as territory.
Therefore, Su Gu did not really believe Liu Bei's conditions.
Su Gu did not dare to cooperate with Liu Bei before he figured out his true intentions.
Su Gu pondered for a moment before his eyes suddenly lit up. He had an idea.
He took Liu Bei's hand and said in an extremely friendly manner,""Xuande, I am very grateful for your help.
Whether it's for Lord Lu's face or for your help this time, I can't mistreat you, right?”
At this point, Su Gu changed his tone and continued,"Xuande, what do you think? After we defeat Zhang Lu, I will hand over the two counties of Shangyong and Fangling to you. What do you think?”
"This…this isn't good."
Liu Bei's eyes flashed with surprise.
He thought to himself, I'm here to take over your entire Hanzhong. Why would I need these two remote counties?
Qin Feng at the side had figured out some of the details.
Shangyong County and Fangling County were much closer to Jingzhou than Nanzheng.
This was another copy of Nanjiang County's special geographical location. However, because of Su Gu's strength, he usually had some control over these two counties.
Of course, that might not be the case in times of danger.
Otherwise, why didn't they see Shangyong, Fang Ling, and the other eastern counties coming to support them?
Even the nearest Chenggu County didn't seem to have anyone coming.
Of course, there was another possibility, which was that Liu Biao or Zhang Lu had played some tricks.
For example, persuading them to surrender or giving them huge benefits.
Qin Feng didn't want to comment too much on the merits of the burly man's constitution.
However, Su Gu's management of the counties in Hanzhong was not something he could compliment.
The owner of Qin Feng's body was a Shangyong.
From some of the memories he had received, Su Gu's management model for remote counties was that as long as you paid taxes regularly and in a fixed amount, you could do whatever you wanted.
No matter how much trouble one had, as long as there was no rebellion under his rule, one could play however one liked.
Now, Su Gu had chosen to give these two counties to Liu Bei.
In that case, Liu Biao might also be interested in the counties in the east.
Moreover, Liu Biao's appetite should not be small.
Qin Feng estimated that the four counties in the east would not be able to escape.
Even if he didn't guess it correctly, he wasn't far from the truth.
Su Gu had given Liu Bei these two counties to satisfy Liu Bei's ambitions and stabilize him.
If Liu Bei did not agree, Su Gu would probably not be able to sleep or eat in peace, and he would not dare to accept Liu Bei's help.
Since he understood Su Gu's intentions.
"Duke Xuande, since Governor Su is offering it out of goodwill, you should agree to it." Qin Feng immediately interjected.”
Hearing this, Liu Bei quickly turned his head and looked at Qin Feng with a puzzled gaze.
He wanted to see if Qin Feng was serious.
Qin Feng smiled and nodded.
"I'll accept your request. I'll thank you for your generous gift first.”
Liu Bei waved his sleeves and bowed deeply to Su Gu.
"And this is?"
Su Gu's gaze landed on Qin Feng and asked in puzzlement.
When he saw that Liu Bei had asked for the opinion of a young man beside him, he was immediately curious about the identity of this young man.
"Brother Zhong Cheng, this is Bei's military advisor. His name is Qin Feng, also known as Wen Xuan.”
Liu Bei smiled as he introduced Su Gu.
"Military advisor?"
Su Gu sized up Qin Feng and smiled."Xuande's military advisor is so young. I wonder which family he is from?”
Su Gu thought that since he was hired by Liu Bei as a military advisor, he must be a direct descendant of some great clan.
"Brother Zhongcheng, Wenxuan is also from Hanzhong, his home is in Shangyong County.”
Liu Bei honestly told him Qin Feng's residence.
He originally thought that once Su Gu heard that Qin Feng was a Shangyong person, he would have a closer relationship with Qin Feng.
This way, when they interacted in the future, Su Gu would value Qin Feng more.
However, this was not the case.
When Su Gu heard that Qin Feng's household register was Shangyong, a hint of mockery flashed across his eyes.
He had heard of the Shangyong Qin family before. It was said that they were rich people who moved from Qingzhou ten years ago when the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos.
At that time, the Qin family had also done a few horse and grain businesses with Su Gu. The business was very big and could be considered a wealthy family with a small reputation in Hanzhong.
However, two years ago, he heard that the Qin family had failed because of a business outside the Great Wall.
The clan leader went missing, and the entire clan began to decline.
Now, the family of orphans and widows had become a family that was not even as good as ordinary families.
"Qin Feng greets Governor Su."
Out of politeness and respect for Su Gu's seniority, Qin Feng took the initiative to salute him.
However, Su Gu did not even raise his hand. He smiled faintly and said,"Haha, so it's Little Brother Wen Xuan of the Qin family. Nice to meet you.”
Liu Bei saw Su Gu's actions and was immediately a little unhappy.
The good-tempered him did not flare up on the spot. He only gave Qin Feng an apologetic look.
Qin Feng shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind.
Su Gu held Liu Bei's hand and walked into the city.
"Military Advisor, this old man Su Gu doesn't know what's good for him. He actually dares to not give you face.”
Zhang Fei looked at Su Gu's back and said angrily.
"Yi De, face is earned by yourself, not given by others. There is still a long way to go, there is no need to mess up the big picture over some small things.”
Qin Feng smiled faintly and said in a straightforward manner.
"Advisor Jun is right. It won't be long before Su Gu begs us.”
Zhao Yun quietly walked over and said coldly.
"Haha, you guys."
Seeing that Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei were feeling indignant for him, Qin Feng's heart warmed up and he shook his head with a bitter smile.
After that, Qin Feng ordered Zhao Yun to lead two thousand cavalrymen to set up camp outside the city.
All the infantry were brought into the city by Zhang Fei to rest.
No matter what, Qin Feng had to leave a backup plan for himself.
Once an accident really happened in the city, Zhao Yun could also provide some support from outside the city.
Not everyone would be trapped in the city.
More importantly, with Zhao Yun outside, he could also pay close attention to the movements within a ten-mile radius outside the city.
If the enemy came, Zhao Yun could send an early warning signal to the city.
