Only five days later, Taishi Ci rushed back to Nanchang with his troops.
After meeting Liu Yao first, Liu Yao finally felt relieved when he saw Tai Shi Ci coming back with his troops.
He was afraid of being beaten by Sun Ce, lest Tai Shi Ci was not in Nanchang and Sun Ce led his troops to kill him.
Taishi Ci asked: "Assassin, what do you say about this paper?"
Liu Yao said: "I've been dragging him along these days because I just want to wait for you to come back and let's discuss it together."
"What did the governor think?"
Liu Yao sighed: "My family has been captured by Sun Ce's son.
I am confused and don't know what to do.
I think General Taishi is also like me, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Yao was coughing and out of breath.
Taishi Ci quickly said: "Thank you in advance, Governor, we are not in a hurry."
Liu Yao covered his mouth with his handkerchief and coughed violently.
He took the handkerchief away and saw a bright red color on it.
Taishi Ci could see it clearly, his face changed, and he immediately said: "The governor, this person is here, why don't you go find a medical officer to diagnose and treat the governor?"
Liu Yao waved his hand and said: "Let's talk about things first.
We will talk about the treatment later, General Taishi.
I wonder what you are going to do and whether you agree to exchange family members and captured officials with Sun Ce."
Taishi Ci said: "Of course there must be an exchange.
Otherwise, how could I be so desperate to capture Yuzhang County just to gain a bargaining chip with Sun Ce?
This is how I thought about it on the way back.
This Zhou Yu under Sun Ce is so resourceful and cunning."
Duanduan, we can't fall into their scheme, I want to exchange you and me with the family members of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu first, as a test.
If they exchange honestly, then the number of exchanged officials in the second batch can be increased.
Even if the situation changes in the future, we There’s nothing to worry about now that my family members have returned.”
Liu Yao quickly agreed: "Okay, okay, let's exchange in batches.
The first batch will replace our family members first, and the second batch will replace the officials."
Taishi Ci left immediately.
He stayed at the door for a while, waiting for the entourage sent by Liu Yao to find the medical officer.
He called this person over and asked, "How long has Liu Yao been ill?"
The attendant replied: "More than a year."
"When did you start coughing up blood?"
"It seems like it's been two or three months.
I've also seen a doctor, but it's not getting better."
"Okay, you go."
After the entourage left, Taishi Ci waved to the soldiers beside him and ordered: "You stay here, and when the medical officer who treats Liu Yao comes out later, he will be taken to my house."
"Yes, General" Taishi Ci returned to the temporary residence to rest for a while.
Just after finishing his meal, he saw his own soldiers leading a medical officer in.
"Meet the General" Taishi Ci nodded and asked, "I would like to ask you, general, what kind of illness Liu Governor has?"
The medical officer cupped his hands and replied: "Returning to the general, this disease is caused by weak congenital endowments, acquired unbridled desires, excessive drinking and sex, worry and fatigue, long-term illness and physical weakness, the depletion of righteousness, internal causes, and external infection by tuberculosis.
Evil takes advantage of the weakness to enter and cause disease."
Taishi Ci was confused when he heard this, and waved his hands and said: "Don't talk about things that I can't understand, say things that I can understand."
"It was Liu Cishi who contracted tuberculosis."
Taishi Ci was surprised.
This disease is famous, easy to contagious, and more importantly, difficult to cure.
He asked: "Is it serious?"

“very serious” "How much time does Liu Prefect have left?"
"this" Taishi Ci stared: "Say" "Yes, it is up to three months.
If not properly adjusted, it may not last even one month."
Taishi Ci waved his hand: "You can go down."
"Goodbye, villain" After thinking for a long time, Taishi Ci whispered an order to his soldiers, who agreed in a hurry and acted strangely.
Soon, a young soldier in ordinary clothes came in and saluted Taishi Ci with clasped fists: "I have seen General Taishi."
Taishi Ci waved his hand: "No need to be polite.
I have called you here today to send a message to Chang'an: Liu Yao is seriously ill and will die soon."
"Yes" the ordinary soldier saluted and turned around to leave.
The next day, Taishi Ci, who had had a day's rest, sent someone to invite Zhang Hong to Liu Yao's house, and of course he was there.
"I've seen Governor Liu and General Taishi."
Zhang Hong saluted Liu Yao and Taishi Ci.
Liu Yao pointed to the low table and cushions next to him and said, "Zhang Changshi, please sit down."
"Thank you very much" Zhang Hong walked to the side and sat down on his knees.
A waiter brought tea and cakes.
Zhang Hong said with a smile: "President Liu and General Taishi, I think they invited me over today to discuss the exchange of hostages."
Taishi Ci and Liu Yao looked at each other, and Taishi Ci said: "Okay, this matter has been discussed with General Liu Yao.
We want to exchange family members first.
You use my family members and Liu Yao's family members to exchange for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's." family , of course, this is only the first batch of exchange objects.
The main purpose is to see your sincerity.
If the first batch of family members can be exchanged smoothly, it means that both parties are sincere, which is also a good thing for you.
What does Zhang Changshi think?
" Zhang Hong smiled and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's impossible.
The only way to exchange is to exchange all the hostages in our hands for all the hostages in your hands."
Of course, Zhang Hong would not agree to the exchange method proposed by Tai Shici.
You must know that the only people following Sun Ce to attack Danyang this time were Zhou Yu and a few generals.
There were very few officials accompanying them.
The rest were soldiers, and Sun Ce had won over the Talents, officials and some military generals were all taken away by Taishi Ci in Nanchang City.
However, the officials and generals Liu Yao left in Danyang were not Liu Yao's absolute confidants.
They were all local officials in Danyang and Wu counties.
These people had no loyalty to Liu Yao and their talents were average.
It didn't matter whether Liu Yao wanted them or not.
Another point is that 80% of Liu Yao's troops and horses were controlled by Taishi Ci.
These soldiers and generals were brought out by Taishi Ci, while many of Sun Ce's troops and horses left in Yuzhang were captured by Taishi Ci.
If Taishi Ci's exchange method was followed, Sun Ce would probably suffer a big loss.
Naturally, Zhang Hong could not agree to this method of exchange.
Taishi Ci also knew that this Zhang Hong was difficult to deal with.
He suppressed his temper and said: "Zhang Changshi, I'm afraid you are a little too eager to compare.
We compare the families, officials and generals of both sides to treasures.
Now we have control over your side."
One hundred treasures, but you only have fifty of our treasures, but you have to exchange fifty of our treasures for one hundred of your treasures.
Do you think it is possible?
You think that I, Taishi Ci, and Liu Prefect are both three Is it as easy to coax as a 2-year-old child?"
Zhang Hong immediately said: "No, no, no, General Taishi, your metaphor is inappropriate.
Of course, you are right.

You do have one hundred of our treasures, but we only have yours."
Fifty treasures, but you have to understand , these treasures are all priceless treasures, and cannot be judged by quantity.
From our point of view, the fifty treasures in our possession are completely worth the value of the one hundred treasures in your possession.
Can you bear the thought of us giving away one of them?
"Treasures broken into pieces" The atmosphere was very solemn, and there was silence in the lobby.
The officials and military generals standing on both sides did not dare to make a sound.
Taishi Ci and Zhang Hong looked at each other, their eyes clashing, neither of them willing to give in.
After a long time, Taishi Ci waved to his general Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying stepped forward and whispered in his ear.
Zhang Ying nodded, held the hilt of his sword and turned away.
Soon, Zhang Ying came with a few soldiers and escorted an official.
It turned out that this official was Sun Ce's former subordinate, and he was quite trustworthy.
When the official saw Zhang Hong, he immediately shouted: "Chang Shi, help me, help me!"
Taishi Ci winked at Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying understood, drew his sword and beheaded the official on the spot, with blood splattering all over the floor.
Zhang Hong's eyes widened and veins popped out on his forehead.
He stood up and said angrily to Taishi Ci: "Taishi Ci, what do you mean?"
Taishi Ci smiled and said: "Zhang Changshi said that treasures cannot be judged by quantity.
In my opinion, it is absolutely wrong.
When every treasure is a priceless treasure, it must be judged by quantity, because every time one is lost, it will It's extremely distressing and maybe Chang Shi does not agree with my Tai Shi Ci's opinion.
It doesn't matter.
You can go back and tell Sun Bofu that starting from today, both of us will kill one hostage every day.
Let's verify whether the treasure can be judged by its quantity.
"Zhang Changshi" "Zhang Changshi, please" an official came out and said to Zhang Hong.
Zhang Hong said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, Taishi Ci, with your approach, aren't you worried that we will kill your family first?"
Taishi Ci opened his hands and said: "There is nothing to worry about.
If you kill my family first, then I will kill Sun Ce's family first.
Let's kill each other.
Let's see who can't hold on first."
"You, you, you are crazy, you are just a lunatic," Zhang Hong shouted with anger, his face turned red.
Taishi Ci walked up to Zhang Hong and said coldly: "Do you think you can use your so-called cleverness to coerce and deceive me, Taishi Ci?
Follow my Taishi Ci's method to exchange.
Do you want to exchange?
If not, you can leave." " Zhang Hong really had no choice when meeting someone like Tai Shici who accepted death.
He couldn't immediately run back to ask Sun Ce for instructions.
The distance was too far and it would take months to go back and forth.
It was too troublesome to run back and forth.
Mrs.
Wu and others were so old Now that they are older, and those little young masters who have just been born, they cannot be kept in prison forever.
It seems that they can only follow Tai Shici's method to exchange the family members of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu back before making any calculations.
Zhang Hong took a deep breath, cupped his hands to Taishi Ci and said: "Okay, then let's first exchange the family members of the main figures on both sides according to General Taishi's wishes."
After Zhang Hong left, Liu Yao said to Taishi Ci: "I heard that Zhang Hong is very popular around Sun Ce and has extraordinary eloquence.
I didn't expect to suffer such a big loss from General Taishi today.
Hahaha, I'm really happy."
Taishi Ci waved his hand and said with a smile: "President Liu is too ridiculous.

For people like Zhang Hong, my approach has always been not to do what he says and not to be led by the nose."
