Chapter 1041: Liu Ji, King of Shu

Ba County, Jiangzhou.

Liu Yu sent Zhang Song as an envoy to Ba County, but after Zhang Song arrived in Jiangzhou, Liu Ji avoided it and put Zhang Song aside to dry for several days.

Of course, Liu Ji knew the purpose of Liu Yuyi's envoy, after all, although there was constant conflict between the two Liu, Chi You was the biggest threat to Yizhou, and he was not an opponent when he fought alone, so joint confrontation was the general trend.

Although Liu Ji knew this in his heart, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to find Liu Yu to unite, after all, Liu Yan had already betrayed him once before, so Liu Ji was waiting for Liu Yu to take the initiative to beg him, and then he would be able to open his mouth.

While Liu Ji was waiting for Liu Yu's envoy to come over, he was also worried that Liu Yu would be more powerful than Liu Yan, after all, although Liu Yu had a good reputation in Yizhou, these false names were not taken seriously by Liu Ji.

In Liu Ji's opinion, Liu Yu is by no means Chi You's opponent, after all, compared to the sinister and calm Liu Yan, Liu Yu is undoubtedly much younger and more impulsive, but Chi You is an opponent with almost no weaknesses.

Therefore, although Liu Ji believed that Liu Yu had lost, he also hoped that Liu Yu would not lose too badly, after all, if Liu Yu defeated all the Yizhou army, even if Liu Ji joined forces with him, it would be difficult to defeat Chi You.

But the final result far exceeded Liu Ji's expectations.

Although Liu Yu still lost to Chi You, he didn't lose badly, it could only be regarded as a small defeat, and he still had the strength to fight in the face of Chi You.

No, maybe it's not even a small defeat, but it's a complete defeat for the Yizhou army.

In the past, the Yizhou army was repeatedly defeated against Shangchiyou, so that it had already fought timidly before the war began, but the Yizhou army under the command of Liu Yu had the courage to fight and would not be afraid of Chiyou in the face of Nanban in the future.

Liu Yu fully proved his ability to command troops in the battle with Chi You, which naturally made Liu Ji jealous of him, but what made Liu Ji jealous the most was Liu Yu's ability to control people's hearts and employ people.

Before, Chen Ping and Liu Ji both thought that Liu Yan was not worried, that was because Liu Yan's own ability was low, and he had lost the hearts of the people, the army and the courtiers, but they didn't expect Liu Yan to die so soon, and Liu Yu, who inherited Liu Yan's position, was so good.

Liu Yu is different from Liu Yan, just like Liu Wei and Liu Xie, and they are also different from Liu Hong.

Although Liu Yan has done a lot of stupid things, people die like lights out, and Liu Yu does not need to take the blame.

Even as long as Liu Yu's performance is better than Liu Yan, the Yizhou civil and military forces will still think that Liu Yu is worthy of assistance, and now Liu Yu's performance in all aspects is completely explosive Liu Yan, which is naturally the master of the Yizhou civil and military ministers who have been waiting for a long time in their hearts.

Although Chi You's threat is great, he is a foreigner after all, and Liu Yu is not only a Han person, but also a relative of the Han family, so this makes Liu Ji have a faint hunch that Liu Yu may be the biggest obstacle to his unification of Yizhou.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Ji was extremely jealous of Liu Yu, but he would not stab his allies in the back like Liu Yan, after all, that would only make Chi You Yuwen benefit.

Liu Ji was not sure that he could rely on his family to deal with Chi You, but when he cut off Chi You's threat, he would definitely take action against Liu Yu as soon as possible.

But before that, Liu Ji naturally wanted to fight for more benefits, after all, they had already taken the initiative to come to the door, so they would definitely have to slaughter the other party.

Liu Ji also knew that the war in southern Sichuan was tense, so he didn't keep drying Zhang Song, and only after three days did he 'reluctantly' meet Zhang Song accompanied by Chen Ping.

There are many contents of the bilateral negotiations, such as cutting the garrisons on the border, and so on, but the biggest difference is in the cession of territory.

Liu Yu wanted to beg others for his well-being, and the territory he promised to cede to Liu Ji was Xinggu County, which had been completely occupied by Chiyou.

Liu Ji naturally couldn't agree, after all, he was not a fool, of course the territory he had laid down by sending troops was his own, why did Liu Yu use it to cede himself?

Liu Ji asked Liu Yu to cede Jiangyang County or Zitong County to himself.

Although Jiangyang County and Zitong County are not big, one is the east gate of Chengdu and the other is the north gate of Yizhou, and they are both surrounded by mountains and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In such an important place, of course, Liu Yu could not give it to Liu Ji, and the envoy Zhang Song did not have this right.

The negotiations were so deadlocked, but Liu Ji was not in a hurry at all, and he didn't even bother with Zhang Song from beginning to end.

Liu Ji just put on a disdainful and indifferent attitude, sitting and watching the other party lose both, and the negotiation matter was up to Chen Ping to negotiate with Zhang Song.

With the perfect cooperation of Liu Ji and Chen Ping, Zhang Song couldn't figure out Liu Ji's true thoughts, but the front-line war was tight, and Liu Yu was really about to be unable to hold on.

After receiving several instructions from Zhang Song, Liu Yu also knew that he had to come up with some genuine goods to show the sincerity of this alliance, so he could only make some compromises, but it was impossible to cede an entire county.

Finally, after a series of negotiations, Liu Yu agreed to cede two counties in Jiangyang County and three counties in Zitong County, making a total of five small counties whose locations were not important and were relatively poor.

Liu Ji knew that Liu Yu could not give himself a complete county, although he could not get Jiangyang or Zitong as he wished, but the harvest of the five counties was not small.

There is also a clause in the alliance agreement that the borders of the two sides are disarmed, and the number of troops stationed must not exceed 5,000, so whether it is Liu Ji or Liu Yu, they can also transfer troops from other places with confidence.

After Liu Yu transferred most of the surplus troops on the Eastern Front to the southern front for defense, the pressure finally decreased a lot.

Liu Yu wanted to protect himself, but Liu Ji wanted to expand, he wanted to subdue the land in southern Sichuan that Liu Yu lost, so he decided to personally lead an army of 100,000 to attack Xinggu County.

But just before he was about to send troops, Liu Ji got the news that Dong Zhuo was dead from Wang Yue's eldest He He.

"I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to die like this." Liu Ji said with a look of surprise.

"In addition, the eldest of Chang'an has sent accurate information, and I'm afraid that Xie'er has already fallen into Qin Hao's hands."

As he spoke, Wang Yue handed the information to Liu Ji, and the more Liu Ji looked at it, the more shocked he became.

"Jia Xu is actually Qin Hao's secret son, here Jia Xu returned with the emperor, and over there Jia Fu killed him, Qin Hao almost didn't waste much effort, and he got rid of Dong Zhuo's great enemy......"

Liu Ji said with a solemn face: "Qin Hao's methods are really powerful. ”

Wang Yue nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Xie'er has fallen into Qin Hao's hands, His Highness still needs to make plans in advance." ”

On the other hand, Chen Ping's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said with a smile: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord." ”

"Oh? Where does the joy come from? Liu Ji asked with a little confusion.

"Of course, the best time for you to become king has come."

"What? King? ”

Liu Ji was completely stunned.
