Originally, Zhang Xiu had only indicated that he could give it away, but when he said this, everyone instantly boiled over.
Zhang Xiu actually gave away the Heavenly Emperor's Eye. This was a great opportunity.
Kuai Liang had a smile on his face. 100,000 dan of grain was not a small amount, but to the Jing Xiang clan, it wasn't much. If it could be exchanged for the blessing of the Celestial Emperor, not to mention 100,000 dans, even 100,000 dans would not hesitate.
"Thank you, Heavenly Emperor, and thank you, General Zhang.”
Not waiting for Kuai Liang's voice to fall, the entire hall boiled over.
"The matter that the Celestial Thearch entrusted us with is our duty. My Cai Clan is willing to help with 100,000 stone grains.”Cai Mao strode out and shouted.
"General Cai is benevolent and righteous. After the banquet ended, Xiu Tong gave the Cai family an eye of the Heavenly Emperor, which would definitely make the Cai family prosperous for thousands of years.”
"My Pang family is willing to help with 100,000 stone millet.”Pang Lin said in a deep voice.
"My Huang family is also willing to help with 100,000 stone millet.”Huang Chengyan shouted.
"And my Ma tribe is also willing to help with 100,000 meters of millet.”Ma Yang refused to be outdone.
“......”
For a time, the hall was filled with noise. The Jing and Xiang clans all spoke up. As for the local powerhouses, they also had many reinforcements, but there was not much food.
In the end, the Celestial Thearch's eyes were all promised. Apart from the one in Zhang Xiu's hand, he promised a total of eight.
In the words of President Ma in the future, you guys have made a profit, but I definitely won't lose out.
He had raised the price of a few flashlights to a sky-high price. What kind of concept was this?
However, the rarer an item was, the more valuable it was. Candles were not cheap at the end of the Han Dynasty, let alone flashlights that had never appeared before. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were divine items. Anyway, this thing uses batteries. If it runs out of battery, you can't blame me.
Seeing that everyone had stopped, Zhang Xiu took out another item and said,""Everyone, the pill in my hand was given by the Heavenly Emperor. It's called the Disaster Avoidance Pill. There are a total of twenty portions. Everyone..."
"Can it cure the plague?"
"Is what General Zhang said true?"
Everyone was instantly excited.
After all, there had been many plagues in Nanyang over the years. Those who were infected would die. There had never been a cure. Even many people from big families had died tragically.
(Five of the Seven Sons of Jian 'an died from the plague, and more than half of Zhang Zhongjing's family died.）
"Naturally. Don't you believe in the immortal pills bestowed by the Celestial Emperor?”Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked calmly.
"General's words are too serious. How could we dare to question him?”Everyone hurriedly smiled apologetically.
"General Zhang, some of my clansmen have recently been infected with the plague. I wonder if General Zhang can..." Kuai Liang rolled his eyes and immediately said with a fawning smile.
"Cough cough, Sir Kuai, you should also know that this Disaster Avoidance Pill is not an ordinary item. That…" Zhang Xiu looked troubled.
"How about this, the Kuai Clan is willing to provide an additional 5,000 pieces of cloth and 50 million dollars.”Kuai Liang said righteously.
Zhang Xiu smiled. It was easy to talk to smart people.
"Sigh, forget it. Since Lord Kuai is so considerate of the clan, how can I not be satisfied? I will definitely give a Disaster Avoidance Pill to the Kuai family later.”Zhang Xiu said in pain with a troubled expression.
"General Zhang, my Cai family is willing to lend another 5,000 pieces of cloth and 50 million yuan. I hope…" Cai Mao cupped his fists and said.
"I deeply understand General Cai's request for pills in case of emergency. When the banquet is over, I will definitely give it to you.”Zhang Xiu sneered in his heart, but he was firm and forceful.
As expected, feudal society was easy to fool. If this was in the future, he would probably be beaten to death.
Of course, what Zhang Xiu was selling was not fake medicine. Penicilin was also known as antibiotics. It was very common in the later generations, but it was a panacea at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Even if he couldn't cure a serious illness like the plague, he could still live longer.
Following that, dozens of families, big and small, all donated money and food just to get one Disaster Avoidance Pill.
This also made the original meaning of the banquet fade a lot. Liu Cong did not know what to do.
Liu Biao was also anxious. He had yet to obtain the item of the Celestial Emperor. His family background could not be compared to the few large families. He could not even take out anything to help.
"Envoy, I came to Nanyang in distress, but I was greedy and wanted to attack Nanyang. Fortunately, you let go of the past resentment and accept him to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu is very grateful.”
Zhang Xiu stood up and thanked him.
"This is the eye of the Celestial Thearch, and there are also three Disaster Avoidance Pills to express my gratitude. I hope you won't mind.”
Liu Biao was stunned. He was more than fifty years old, but at this time, he looked hale and hearty.
"Youwei, you're too polite. Your uncle is the general of the hussars of the Han Dynasty. He traveled thousands of miles to seek refuge with me, but there was a misunderstanding that led to General Zhang Ji's tragic death. I hope Youwei doesn't hate you.”
After Liu Biao finished speaking, he clenched his fists and coughed lightly."Cong 'er, since you're crowned today, why don't you take a seat and toast General Zhang?”
Liu Cong, who was beside him, understood and quickly led his maidservant forward. A bottle of turbid wine was naturally delivered over. At the same time, Liu Cong greedily took the immortal pill and the Heavenly Eye from Zhang Xiu's hands.
Zhang Xiu drank it all in one gulp and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He was waiting for Liu Biao to accept his gift.
"Envoy, I have a presumptuous request.”
Liu Biao's wrinkled eyelids twitched. He should have guessed that Zhang Xiu would not give him an immortal pill for no reason. He immediately said warily,"Youwei, there's no need to be so formal.”
"Envoy, you should know that Nanyang is a battleground. Cao Cao is in the north and Yuan Shu is in the east.
However, I lack soldiers and generals under my command. I also hope that you can remove the armaments, fierce generals and Zhang Xiu. Only in this way can Nanyang be safe.”
Zhang Xiu was miserable, and he had a pained expression.
"Military General?" The corner of Liu Biao's eyes twitched. This was his lifeblood, how could he…
" Ahem, Youwei, it's not that I don't want to help you, but bandits are everywhere in Jingzhou. Our military supplies are greatly depleted, and we even lost several of our generals.”
"Dog, you're really cunning.”
Zhang Xiu cursed in his heart. Although Liu Biao was not aggressive enough, he still had the ability. During his reign, Cao Cao did not dare to go south.
"However, it's an important place at the border of Nanyang, and Youwei is my trusted general.
How about this, after the banquet ends, You Wei and General Cai will head to the Jingzhou South Camp and select ten generals, a thousand sets of armor and weapons, and three thousand elite soldiers. How about it?”
"Thank you for your kindness, but Jingxiang is an important place in the world. How can you transfer troops to me? If the thieves take the opportunity to make trouble, I will regret it all day long.”
Zhang Xiu didn't want these Jing state infantry. The Jing state army had been scattered for a long time, and they were weak in a group battle.
"Envoy, I don't need any weapons or armors. I just want two people from you.”
"Oh, only two people? I wonder who it is!" Liu Biao's expression turned from pain to joy. Originally, he was still in pain, but Zhang Xiu actually didn't want them and only wanted the two of them. It was really a good thing.
"Huang Zhong, Wen Pin. These two people met Xiu many years ago, and I hope you can promise.”
Zhang Xiu's tone was heavy, making it hard for others to reject him.
"I know Huang Zhong, he is skilled in archery and riding. As for this Wen Pin, who is he?”Liu Biao raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
Liu Biao paid attention to family status, Huang Zhong's family background was not bad, so he was appointed to follow Liu Pan stationed in You County, as for Wen Pin, Huang Zhong did not know.
Cai Mao glanced at Zhang Xiu and his eyes moved slightly. He immediately stood up and said,""My lord, Wen Pin is a centurion under my command. His martial arts are ordinary.”
After saying that, Cai Mao turned his gaze to Zhang Xiu.
Zhang Xiu replied with a smile. How could he not know what Cai Mao meant?
"Since Youwei has spoken, how can I bear to refuse? Cai Mao, after the banquet ends, immediately transfer these two to General Zhang's command.”Liu Biao raised his hand.
The two generals saved a large number of troops and weapons, making a huge profit.
Looking at it now, Zhang Xiu shouldn't have any intention of rebelling. Otherwise, why would he refuse? Three thousand strong soldiers are no match for two people, huh?
As expected of a common man from Western Liang! Brave but not resourceful.
