Chapter 979: Entering the City to Negotiate

Guan Yu said in the letter that he wanted to take the initiative to enter the city and have a face-to-face meeting with Liu Zhang.

Taking the initiative to enter the city, isn't this an expression of one's sincerity?

In this way, Yan Pu, who originally thought that this was a trap, was a little incomprehensible, what kind of trick Guan Yu was playing.

Originally, Yan Pu also wanted to persuade Liu Zhang to refuse Guan Yu's proposal.

However, after seeing Guan Yu take the initiative to enter the city for talks, Yan Pu still thought twice and decided to let Liu Zhang agree to the talks.

After all, Liu Zhang and the others outside the city did not occupy any advantage, but they could choose the venue of the meeting in Nanzheng City, so Liu Zhang and the others were not afraid of Guan Yu at all.

As long as Guan Yu dares to enter the city, whether he can get out or not is up to Guan Yu, but Liu Zhang's people have the final say.

Liu Zhang's face was gloomy, and he looked at Yan Pu.

seemed to be thinking about what Yan Pu said, Zhang Lu and the others on the side also looked at Liu Zhang eagerly, after all, the final decision was still in Liu Zhang's hands.

Liu Zhang is really not good at negotiating with people, and originally wanted to refuse directly, but seeing that everyone around him was eager to agree, he began to rethink whether he really wanted to negotiate peace with Guan Yu.

For Liu Zhang, it doesn't seem to hurt to agree to Guan Yu's proposal, and even if he doesn't want to negotiate peace, he only needs to trick Guan Yu into the city, which is an excellent thing.

So after thinking about it again, Liu Zhang still decided to agree to Guan Yu first to see what kind of medicine was sold in Guan Yu's gourd?

"Okay, then promise the other party first, and agree that when the sun goes down today, invite Guan Yu into the city, and I will set up a banquet in the city to see what tricks they want to play!"

Liu Zhang agreed, and immediately issued an order to the strategists and generals around him, and everyone began to prepare.

Those who dispatched troops and horses began to dispatch troops and horses, and those responsible for transmitting the message immediately went to reply to Guan Yu's orders.

And the people who were preparing the banquet immediately went down and got busy, after all, it was soon time for the sun to go down.

Guan Yu received a reply from Liu Zhang's promise to the peace talks, but there were some surprises.

immediately did not hesitate, and immediately told his eldest brother Liu Bei the news.

And Liu Bei also hurriedly prepared, this time the peace talks were not for Guan Yu to go, but Liu Bei planned to personally bring his advisers into the city to have a face-to-face peace talks with Liu Zhang.

Contact Liu Zhang to fight against Liu Zheng, while Guan Yu only needs to lead the soldiers and horses to be stationed outside the city to prevent Liu Zhang in the city from being short-sighted and blindly fighting.

Once Liu Bei in the city encounters an accident, Guan Yu outside the city can also lead soldiers and horses to avenge Liu Bei.

Although there are some risks, compared to the rewards that can be obtained after the fact, Liu Bei still feels that this risk should be taken.

Soon the sun gradually set westward, and at the appointed time, several figures appeared under the city of Nanzheng.

Liu Bei took a few personal soldiers and Jian Yong, and went directly to Nanzheng City to knock on the door, Liu Zhang, who was on the city tower, looked outside the city, and after only a few people, he ordered the city gate to be opened.

If hundreds or even thousands of people suddenly came from under the city to enter the city, Liu Zhang would naturally not open the city gate, but after only a few people, even if the city gate was opened at this time and these people were allowed to enter Nanzheng City, a few people would not be able to make any big waves.

So in Liu Zhang's opinion, these people were no threat, and when he opened the city gate, he let Yan Yan lead them into the banquet mansion that Liu Zhang had already set up in the city.

From beginning to end, Liu Bei was wearing a black robe, and outsiders couldn't detect Liu Bei's identity at all.

When he entered the mansion, he sat down at the banquet.

Liu Zhang, who was on the main seat, was very curious and asked Liu Bei, who was wearing a black robe.

"Who is Your Excellency? Why don't you dare to show your true face in a black robe? ”

Although Liu Zhang did not know Liu Bei's identity at this time, in his opinion, there were only a few people in this hall and there was no need to worry at all, after all, Liu Zhang still had Zhang Ren, Yan Yan and other veterans by his side, and his martial arts were strong, even if these people were assassins, they might not be able to successfully assassinate Liu Zhang in the hands of so many generals.

If this allows them to successfully assassinate Liu Zhang, then Liu Zhang's men are too wasteful.

Liu Zhang only thought that the person in the black robe was Guan Yu, but if he thought about it carefully, it was not right, Guan Yu was tall and mighty, and the person in the black robe in front of him was obviously shorter. At first glance, he doesn't look like a martial arts practitioner.

has already arrived at the banquet, Liu Bei knew that he didn't need to hide his identity, so he was also arrogant, and took the initiative to untie the black robe he was wearing, revealing his true face of Lushan.

It's just that after he took off his black robe, everyone present was stunned. did not recognize who Liu Bei's identity was.

The people in this hall are not people who are in the capital, and they have no intersection with Liu Bei, so they naturally don't recognize Liu Bei's appearance.

Even if they had heard of Liu Bei, they had never seen Liu Bei, so it was naturally impossible to recognize Liu Bei at the first time.

"Huh? Your Excellency is a lobbyist sent by Guan Yu? ”

Liu Zhang frowned, carefully looked at Liu Bei's body, and asked.

He really didn't recognize who Liu Bei was.

Liu Zhang didn't recognize who Liu Bei was, but Zhang Lu on the side recognized Jian Yong beside Liu Bei.

Liu Bei has never appeared on the battlefield, but Jian Yong is different.

Jian Yong had followed Guan Yu's side before and appeared on the battlefield many times.

Zhang Lu's men and horses, there are some spies who are responsible for probing intelligence, and they have also collected Jian Yong's information in many ways, and Zhang Lu himself has seen Jian Yong on the battlefield, so he naturally recognized Jian Yong at a glance.

"Jian Yong, I didn't expect you to come in person, are you the lobbyist of this peace talk?"

At the same time that Liu Zhang asked Liu Bei's identity, Zhang Lu also asked Jian Yong.

When Liu Zhang saw Zhang Lu asking, his eyes followed Zhang Lu to Jian Yong, and he thought that Jian Yong was the person in charge of this peace talk.

"Jian Yong? Who is he? ”

Liu Zhang whispered to Yan Pu beside him.

Liu Zhang came to Nanzheng City later, so he didn't know about Jian Yong's existence, but Yan Pu around him knew, so Liu Zhang asked Yan Pu to know who Jian Yong's number one person was.

Yan Pu cautiously approached Liu Zhang, and whispered in Liu Zhang's ear.

"Childe, that Jian Yong is Liu Bei's strategist, this time, to assist Guan Yu in attacking our military advisor in Hanzhong. If he came in instead of Guan Yu to negotiate with us, it could be seen that Guan Yu had enough sincerity. ”

Yan Pu also knew Jian Yong, and he still admired Jian Yong for being able to enter this Nanzheng City to negotiate, after all, it was not just a random person who had such courage.
