Chapter 288: Sue for Peace

After taking Xiaoling, Yang Yun did not continue to send troops, but began to rest in the city. These days, the Shu army has been fighting continuously, and although its morale is sufficient, its physical strength has been exhausted, and it is impossible to send troops in a short time.

When the Shu army was resting, the news that Xiaoling was lost and Lu Xun and Buqi were captured reached the ears of Zhuge Jin and Sun Quan.

The defeat in Yiling last time had already shocked Dongwu three times a day, and now that the Shu army has captured Xiaoling, the situation of threatening public security has come, and even Sun Quan can't sit still.

He immediately sent an order to let Zhuge Jin act as a messenger and come to negotiate peace.

"Your Majesty!"

Ma Yan, who came from Jiangling on purpose, immediately came to meet Yang Yun after meeting with Zhuge Jin.

"Sun Quan is willing to cede the four counties of Jingnan and return Fu Shiren, Mi Fang, Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, so that our army can stop the army and make a truce!"

When Yang Yun heard this, a sneer suddenly appeared on his face.

"Sun Zhongmou is very calculating! Eastern Wu lost so many troops, it was impossible to keep the four counties of Jingnan, and I could not agree to make peace with what originally belonged to me?"

A hint of joy appeared in Ma Tan's heart, he came to Jingzhou this time to dissuade His Majesty from continuing to attack Eastern Wu, and now listening to His Majesty's tone, it seems that as long as Eastern Wu pays a certain price, His Majesty is willing to temporarily stop the army and truce.

"It is natural not to cede only the four counties of Jingnan, Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, Dongwu must cede Jingling and Anlu again!" Ma Tan said in a deep voice.

Jingling and Anlu are the cities of Jiangxia County, if these two cities are in hand, the Shu army can occupy the upper reaches of the Han River, and the upper can threaten Xiangyang, and the lower can attack the important town of Xiling in Eastern Wu. There is not much distance from Wuchang, which was cast by Sun Quan.

This is equivalent to Dongwu to cede another half of Jiangxia County's land.

"Youchang is right, I led my troops to the east this time, and the original intention was to destroy Eastern Wu, but now that the Wei army is heading south, the time has been lost, so I can only temporarily withdraw the army!"

Yang Yun sighed. Stood up and paced back and forth above the main hall.

"If Sun Quan can agree to the conditions you said, I will agree to negotiate peace with Eastern Wu. However, Sun Quan wants to send Fan Jiang Zhang Da and Mi Fang Fu Shiren over first, by the way, there is also Yu Ban Yu Wenze!"

Ma Jian immediately surrendered his hand and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will not fail in his mission!"

After speaking, he took a few steps backwards, then turned around and exited the main hall, and went to the post house to continue the negotiation with Zhuge Jin.

inside the room.

Zhuge Jin looked a little tired, rubbed his head, looked at Ma Yan who appeared in front of him, and said helplessly: "Youchang, your lord's conditions are too harsh, Jiangxia County was won by the Governor of Zhou Dadu in a bloody battle, and it is the important land of my Wu State! ”

"Hahahaha, Brother Ziyu, the Wu army has lost two battles in a row, if the public security is broken again, Your Majesty can lead the troops eastward and take down the entire Jiangxia, and even threaten Jiangdong and destroy Eastern Wu!

Ma Tan laughed, calmly.

"If you don't cede Jiangxia at this time, then our army will naturally lead your troops to take it by yourself at that time. ”

Zhuge Jin showed a trace of bitterness in his eyes, he knew that this time he came to negotiate peace, he would inevitably be troubled by Liu Bei and his subordinates. It's just that I didn't expect Liu Bei and Ma Jian to have such a big appetite.

He actually wanted Dongwu to cede the whole of Jiangxia.

If Jiangxia is lost, then Dongwu will lose the barrier on the west side, and there will be no foundation for the country at that time. In the future, it will either be annexed by Wei or destroyed by Shu Han.

"Don't bully me with big words, as far as I know, the Wei army has now gone south and is attacking Dangyang day and night, and your lord has traveled thousands of miles from Yizhou, and I am afraid that the grain and grass have been consumed!"

"If your lord has always insisted on ceding Jiangxia, then I, Eastern Wu, can only choose to completely annex the Wei State and fight from both sides. At that time, even if your lord can defend Jiangling, the whole of Jingzhou will inevitably be in ruins!"

Zhuge Jin shook his head and said in a firm tone.

In fact, before he came, Sun Quan had already said his bottom line, as long as he could keep Jiangdong proper, it would be nothing to cede the entire Jingzhou to Liu Bei.

Anyway, at Liu Bei's age, he will definitely die before Sun Quan. After Liu Bei's death, Sun Quan could also raise troops again and attack Jingzhou again.

But as a man with outstanding wisdom, Zhuge Jin has his own judgment, in his opinion, Jiangxia County, especially Xiling, is very important, it is the lifeblood of Eastern Wu, and it must not be lost or ceded.

Seeing the other party's resolute expression, Ma Tan also knew that the conditions he proposed were a bit too much.

Therefore, after pondering for a while, he said: "In this way, we will each take half a step back, and our army only needs to Jingling and Anlu, and also send Yu Ban here! As long as this can be done, I can persuade Your Majesty to agree to peace!"

"Jingling, An Lu! This is half Jiangxia!" Zhuge Jin subconsciously wanted to object.

However, Ma Yan's expression became solemn at this time, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Ziyu, the main reason why this war broke out is that Eastern Wu secretly attacked Jiangling, resulting in the death of General Guan! General Guan is His Majesty's second brother, if it weren't for the Wei army going south, he would definitely not choose to negotiate peace with Eastern Wu!"

"If Dongwu still doesn't agree to this condition, then the matter of negotiating peace will be forgotten! When the Wei army retreats, His Majesty will definitely send troops to the east again and attack Jiangdong!"

Zhuge Jin was silent for a moment.

If Dongwu had the strength to deal with Liu Bei, he would not appear here at all.

Moreover, Shu Han has now dispatched three peerless fierce generals, especially these three people, as if they have taken some kind of panacea, and their strength has increased to an extent unimaginable to ordinary people.

Before finding a way to restrain Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun, Eastern Wu would never dare to fight against the Shu army.

There are three peerless fierce generals whose strength has increased several times to charge the battle in person, and no city in Jiangdong has the certainty of defense.

"Good!"

Zhuge Jin was silent for a while, and finally agreed to this condition with difficulty. After agreeing, he softened a little, and a trace of sadness appeared in his heart.

He had a hunch that after ceding Jingzhou, Jiangdong might never be able to set foot on this land again.

The land that was seized by the Great Governor of Eastern Wu for four successive years after more than ten years of war was no longer the territory of Eastern Wu from this moment on. With the loss of Jingzhou, the territory of Eastern Wu was instantly reduced by half.

Only the six counties of Jiangdong and Jiaozhou remained. Correspondingly, Shu Han accounted for most of Yizhou and Jingzhou, restored its heyday, and realized Zhuge Liang's strategy of being in the middle.

After reaching a collegiate agreement, Ma Jian immediately reported the news to Yang Yun.

"That's it! After negotiating peace with Eastern Wu, the battle of Yiling will be completely over!"

Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He didn't know how much brainpower he had spent these days, and finally reversed Shu Han's national fortunes, and after Fan Jiang Zhang Da and Mi Fang Fu Shiren pressed, he fulfilled one of Liu Bei's wishes.
