    Jiang Ji was confused. He thought Guo Jia was going to open his mouth and kill him, but the price he mentioned was normal and not outrageously expensive.

    Although the asking price was not high, Jiang Ji calculated that if he wanted 5,000 war horses, Cao Cao would not be able to pay his men wages and could only use materials as wages.

    This is of course impossible. Not only did Cao Cao disagree, but even Jiang Ji himself disagreed. He was also paid.

    While Jiang Ji was calculating in his mind, Guo Jia continued: "Of course, if Mr. Cao doesn't have enough money, he can also use other things as collateral."

    When Jiang Ji heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. This is good. In fact, before setting off, Cao Cao also told him that if possible, he could use other things in exchange for horses.  Before he proposed this plan, Guo Jia took the initiative to propose it, which was exactly what he wanted.

    Jiang Ji asked curiously: "I wonder what things can be used?"

    Guo Jia smiled slightly. This time, Jiang Ji's premonition was right.

    Guo Jia's smile was sincere and he said slowly: "You can use ceded land as collateral, such as Baima and Yanjin. Each place is worth 50,000 horses. If we give both places together, we can also give Cao Gong a discount."  , 120,000 horses, all of which are first-class war horses."

    "What?" Jiang Ji jumped up, knowing that this matter was not that simple.

    Liu Zhe¡¯s territory borders Cao Cao¡¯s territory. The section of the Yellow River from Guanguan to Qingzhou, the north bank of the Yellow River is Liu Zhe¡¯s territory, and the south bank of the Yellow River is Cao Cao¡¯s territory.

    The place where the two people meet is very long, but there are only a few suitable places to cross the river. One is Fenglingdu in Tongguan, the other is Xiajin in Hongnong County, the third is Mengjin in Henan Yin, and the fourth is Aocang in Henan Yin.  The fifth is Yanjin and the sixth is Baimajin.

    These six places are suitable for large armies to cross the river and fight.

    If Liu Zhe crossed the river from Fenglingdu, Xiajin, and Mengjin, Cao Cao would be able to block Liu Zhe's army to the west of Hulao Pass and not be able to enter Yanzhou as long as he guarded Hulao Pass.

    If Liu Zhe wants to march from Qingzhou, Cao Cao only needs to send a large army to guard Jiyin County to stop Qingzhou's westward advancing army.

    Cao Cao has already sent troops to garrison the above-mentioned places. Even if Zhang Xiu besieged Xu Du, Cao Cao would not dare to deploy troops from these two places.

    After guarding these places, Cao Cao still needs to send people to guard Yanjin and Baimajin in Yanzhou.  Once these two places are acquired by Liu Zhe, with the topography of Yanzhou, Yanzhou will be like a woman who takes off all her clothes to Liu Zhe, and he can go there at any time.

    These important and dangerous areas are places that Cao Cao absolutely defends and it is impossible to cede them away.

    "This is impossible!" Jiang Ji shouted and refused. Although fifty thousand high-quality war horses sounded very tempting, Jiang Ji knew that this was a poisonous fruit and you would not die immediately if you eat it.  But you will always die.

    Guo Jia said innocently: "Impossible? This is a big discount. How about I add more?"

    "Absolutely impossible, absolutely!" Jiang Ji said the word "absolutely" very seriously. How could these strategically important areas be ceded to others? He would rather not have war horses than defend these places to the death.

    "Is that so?" Guo Jia was disappointed, and then asked: "Since these two places are not good, why not give me Aocang and Mengjin?"

    "Impossible!" Jiang Ji still answered. Although Aocang was the worst of all landing ports and suitable for a large army to cross the river, it still could not be ceded.

    "This is not possible, that is impossible," Guo Jia spread his hands with an innocent face and asked in a helpless tone: "Brother Zitong, tell me, which places can be ceded? It won't be all places.  Bar."

    "It is impossible to cede land." Jiang Ji refused the request and said, "You can change it to something else. But if you want us to cede land, that is absolutely not allowed."

    His lord Cao Cao now dislikes the small territory. How could he still cede the territory?

    Guo Jia asked back: "Then tell me, what good things do you have in Yanzhou?"

    Jiang Ji was speechless for a moment. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Yanzhou really had nothing to offer.

    Materials?  Can't compare to Youzhou.

    Money?  Even worse than Youzhou.

    After Jiang Ji thought about it, he realized that his family was really damn poor. Nothing could compare with Youzhou, not even in terms of strength. Otherwise, he could just come and rob them, and there would be no need to go to such great lengths.

    In the end, Jiang Ji didn¡¯t even know what he could do in Yanzhou.

    He could only say helplessly: "Tell me, apart from ceding land, what do you want?"???  "

    Jiang Ji knew that it was impossible for Guo Jia not to know the places he just mentioned, and it was impossible for Cao Cao to agree to cede them.  Guo Jia said this just to disgust him.

    Guo Jia finally smiled and said: "I heard that Duke Cao once recruited millions of Yellow Turbans. It happens that I, Youzhou, lacks the population. If Duke Cao is willing, I can use the population to exchange for it."

    Hearing this, Jiang Ji wanted to yell at Guo Jia for being shameless. Who doesn't know that Liu Zhe has the most people under his rule, and he can say such shameless things because of the lack of population. It is really shameless
