When the matter of peace was mentioned, Sun Quan remembered that there was a lack of Lu Su by his side. It's been a long time since Zipline Lusu went to Changsha, long enough for him to make two round-trips, why hasn't he come back? Not only has he not come back, but none of the people he brought with him have been seen, what is the situation?

How could Sun Quan know that poor Lu Su was eating in prison! Without Lu Su, who would he send to negotiate peace? Sun Quan expressed strong dissatisfaction with Lu Su while wondering who to send this time. The armistice order has been issued, and presumably the other side already knows that peace is to be negotiated. There is a Xu Shu on the opposite side, and it has really become a difficult bone to gnaw, this time I can't take Jianchang, even if this stubble is in the past, I can't think about it anymore.

Sun Quan was decadently spread in the chair, Chaisang could not be lost, compared to Jianchang, Chaisang was 10,000 times more important, it was the most important city on the edge of Changsha. Seeing that the New Year is approaching, if peace is not negotiated now, there is no need to hope that this year will pass peacefully.

Sun Quan thought so, and finally determined the candidate who went to negotiate peace this time, the patriarch of the Zhang clan of Eastern Wu, Zhang Wen. This person's status is higher than Lu Su's, and he is worse than Zhang Zhao, and it is a pity that he is less and is not very useful to put around him. The difference between him and Lu Su is that the Zhang family, like the Gu family, is a big family with a lot of names in Eastern Wu, and Zhang Wen is the patriarch, so he will never be able to do something that will never return.

A letter of peace has been written here, and there are candidates. In Changsha, Kou Yan didn't know that the window for peace had been opened, and she was still worried about the trouble she had caused. Deng Ai and Ma Jian came back and sent Xu Shu's reply letter but it didn't make her feel at ease, and Zhongri paced back and forth in the study, eagerly looking forward to the news of the front line.

Covering the sky, she was unsettled while looking through the official documents, as if there was no news ahead for two days. Just thinking about it, a report came in from outside to say that Master Ma Jingma asked to see him. Kou Yan put down the book: "Please let him in." "Xu Shu is not in the city, and the official documents that were originally sent to the Changshi Mansion were instructed by Kou Yan to be sent to the Engagement Mansion, that is, Ma Jing's office, and Ma Jing acted as the governor of the city.

In fact, Ma Jing's role is only a secretary. The door opened, Ma Jing came in, and after saluting, Kou Yan did not stand up to greet him, but asked anxiously: "Ma Cheng came to see him, isn't there news ahead?"

"Back to my lord's words, the Soochow side asked for peace. Ma Jingrao is not surprised when he reaches middle age, and he is also happy at this time. "It's only been a few days since Senior Brother and General Huang took Chaisang, and Soochow has negotiated peace?" Kou Yan was a little unconvinced. "It is indeed a peace, and the person sent this time is the doctor Zhang Wen. ”

"Zhang Wen, who is it, do you know Ma Zhi?" asked Kou Yan. "Not very familiar. Ma Jing frowned: "I only know that he is the patriarch of the Zhang family in Dongwu, and he has some status in Dongwu." "Patriarch......" Kou Yan muttered. There's a patriarch of the Shi clan, it's not easy to deal with!

I think that when I first came to Lu Su, a sentence turned out to be a strong background, and he was able to make people so popular that he was in a mess. But this Zhang Wen is from a serious and well-founded clan, and he is the patriarch himself, so there is really no one on his side who can compare with him in his origin. Although the Ma family is a civil servant, it is only a noble family, and it does not meet the standards of the scholar family.

However, there is no one around at the moment, the teacher is not there, and there is no one else except Ma Jing. So, Kou Yan raised his head: "I'm afraid I'm going to have to bother Ma to do the reception this time." ”

"The subordinates obeyed. Ma Jing bent over. Kou Yan sighed: "Everyone has already been offended, and now when I come to negotiate peace, I am bullying the weak with the big bully." "Please don't think about it, for the initiative is in our hands now. "Hey...... You know why General Huang didn't take it, but he still said these words of relief. I am no longer a three-year-old child, so how can I not know the reason for the current situation in Changsha? Whether it is military training or water control, all I think about is just a corner of peace, and I have caused so many troubles. ”

"My lord's intentions are understood by my subordinates, and the soldiers and civilians of Changsha also understand them. Ma Jing looked at the somewhat decadent girl, and couldn't help but continue to comfort: "However, in the troubled times, it is the norm for you to fight for me." "What Meng Chang said is reasonable, I can't be pessimistic anymore, this will only make people look down on me and make my subordinates worry about me, you go down and prepare first." The matters ahead are left to the soldiers to decide. ”

When Ma Jing went out, Kou Yan lifted his spirits and decided not to pay attention to the things on the front line, but to focus all his energy on dealing with the upcoming Zhang Wen. This person is not easy to deal with!

Not to mention other people's family backgrounds, but to say that other people's age and experience, coupled with the momentum of everyone's growth, I absolutely can't suppress it! Besides, what is the current situation? Huang Zhong, who is an old qualification, is on the front line, and the teacher who can hold down the table is also on the front line. The others are all small radish heads!

Kou Yan didn't know the bottom of his heart, the other party wanted to negotiate peace, I don't know what conditions would be offered, in case it was still the same as before, if he wanted to go back to Jianchang and Sun Shao, could he still want to send Zhang Wen away like Lu Su? I thought that with the joining of the Ma brothers, my wings were gradually growing, and there would be no shortage of people to call, but I didn't expect this person to hate less when he used it, and now it's too late to regret it.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Kou Yan's brows were furrowed and sullen. I couldn't stay in the study, in the backyard, the little sister had already been sent to the house of Uncle Liu Mi in Kou County, the little girl thought it was too boring in the house, and my sister didn't have time to take care of her, so she begged her uncle to take her out to play early. Kou Yan also intended to let her go out of the city to hide for a few days, so he sent her away early.

Aunt Hu and Aunt Deng were waiting for their sons to come to reunite, but the teacher and Deng Ai were not in the city, and the other ran errands for her and had no time to fulfill their filial piety, so Kou Yan was embarrassed to meet the two female dependents. In addition, the martial law in the city has not been lifted, and after coming and going, Kou Yan found that he had nowhere to go.

After thinking about it for a long time, she patted her head: "Why did you forget him!" After muttering a sentence, she immediately ordered: "Come on, please do it, Ben Taishou is going out of the city!" "Huh?" The guard at the gate was taken aback: "My lord, it's too dangerous to go out of the city at this time!" "Ben Taishou is going to the old general's barracks to inspect the army, why don't you go and prepare quickly!"

The guard was stunned for a moment, then bowed and saluted: "No, my subordinates will go to prepare immediately!" Not long after Ma Jing returned to his mansion, he heard the summons of Taishou, changed his clothes and hurriedly came, and saw that his younger brother and Deng Ai were there, and he didn't know what the situation was. Although Kou Yan was a little sorry for him, he could only say sorry in his heart, and on the surface, he said casually: "Looking for you back, just because Ben Taishou had a temporary intention and wanted to go outside the city, General Huang's military camp, and I need a few of you to accompany me." ”
