Chapter 194: Verbal Sword
Two days later.
The conscription of people in Danyang, Jingkou and other counties has been completed, and the troops have been sent to the territory of Qichun.
A letterhead came in an instant!
After reading it slowly, it was Sun Quan who wrote a letter himself, ordering him to immediately send an envoy to Xiakou to ask Yu Guan Yu to stop fighting.
Upon hearing the news, Cheng Zhi did not dare to slack off, so on the one hand, Chen Bing confronted the Jingzhou army at Fankou downstream of Xiakou, and on the other hand, he quickly wrote an armistice agreement and sent envoys to Xiakou immediately.
Soon, the envoy of the Wu army entered Xiakou as an envoy and handed over the armistice agreement to the generals defending the city.
Merely.
Now that Ma Liang, Zhao Lei, and even Zhao Zhong are not in the city, Guan Yu is seriously injured and unconscious, and the guards have to temporarily detain the Wu envoy, and then immediately send the sergeant to Lukou by boat to report the matter to Guan Ping.
One day's work, Lukou Mansion.
"I have just received urgent information from Xiakou, and the guard general said that Sun Quan intends to negotiate a truce with our side, rebuild the alliance, and unanimously fight against the Cao thieves in the north."
"What do you think, sir?"
"Can our army agree to Sun Quan's request for peace?"
Hearing this, Ma Liang couldn't help but smile, raised his cheeks and groaned for a while, his eyes moved slightly, and then said: "Young General, in good opinion, you should agree to make peace!" ”
As soon as these words fell, he noticed the look of doubt on Guan Pingping, and couldn't help but explain slowly: "Since our army followed the northern expedition to Xiangfan with the prince and marquis in July, it has always been in a fierce battle with Cao's army. ”
"After the Wu army's sneak attack on the alliance, our sergeants rushed back to help, and fought with it for more than two months, it can be said that after nearly half a year of high-intensity campaign, our soldiers have also entered the end of the strong crossbow, and it is not suitable to fight again, and they urgently need to rest!"
"Secondly, our military rations are also unsustainable, and if the war continues to stalemate, it will be extremely unfavorable to both of us, and in the end, we have to let the Cao thief who is sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight take advantage of the opportunity to attack."
After a pause, Ma Liang suddenly changed his words, his face suddenly became serious, and he said loudly: "Young General, the most important thing is that so far, Cao Thief's strength is still strong, and it is difficult to compete with our army alone!" ”
"The only way to maintain the Han-Wu alliance is to let Sun Quan worry about the attention of some Cao thieves, so that the pressure on our army will be reduced a lot!"
A seat fell.
Guan Ping, so he nodded frequently, took over the matter, and immediately sent an envoy to Jingkou to inform Sun Quan that he had agreed to his armistice agreement and negotiate peace.
After another day or two, after Sun Quan got the armistice agreement from the Jingzhou military messenger, his hanging heart suddenly put a paragraph, his face was happy, and then he immediately notified Zhuge Jin of the public security to go to meet Guan Yu as the envoy of the peace this time.
Since both sides seconded the armistice agreement at this moment, the envoys of the two sides were able to cross the tributaries without restriction on the Yangtze River, except for the troops of all sides who could not move without authorization.
On this day, Zhuge Jin received Sun Quan's instructions, so he immediately bid farewell to the metropolitan governor Lu Meng, led more than ten soldiers and two boys, and then ran to Lukou by boat!
He did not go to Xiakou.
Zhuge Jin knew Guan Yu's temperament very well, his own side betrayed the alliance this time and led the crowd to attack Jingzhou, with the Jingzhou army having a big advantage at this time, how could he agree to sue for peace?
Therefore, Zhuge Jin's plan was to decide to go to Lukou first, meet Guan Ping to test his style, and then make plans.
Lukou.
On the field of military school.
It is only said that after Zhuge Jin arrived at Lukou, he did not see Guan Ping for the first time, but was received by Ma Liang and led him to visit the sergeants who were practicing in formation on the school ground.
Walking to the high platform, Ma Liang quietly waved his big hand, and his eyes moved slightly, and he knew the bottom of his heart.
"Oh."
"Kill, kill."
In an instant, more than 10,000 Jingzhou troops formed formations in turn, holding high spears, guns, knives and other weapons in their palms and shouting.
There was a roar, as if breaking through the sky!
The momentum of the soldiers also radiated in an instant, and quickly dispersed in all directions.
On the high platform, Zhuge Jin on the side felt the strong momentum at this time, and couldn't help frowning, thinking quietly.
What kind of person he is, how can he not see that this is deliberately done by Guan Ping, and his purpose is to show him the military might of his army, and then force him to grasp the initiative in the process of making peace.
In the middle of the ring, Ma Liang's face loosened, showing a smile, facing Zhuge Jin from the side, and muttering: "Ziyu, as you can see, how is the combat strength of the sergeants in our army?" ”
"This is an elite division, and the combat strength is probably no longer under the Cao army."
"Guan Junhou has such a strong army, no wonder he can compete with the powerful Cao thief during the Northern Expedition."
At this time, Ma Liang asked each other, and Zhuge Jin couldn't sit idly by, but also gave the same courtesy, and said with a smile.
It's just that after he saw the combat strength of the Jingzhou army at this time, his brows suddenly wrinkled into a Sichuan shape, and his face was extremely solemn.
"This is indeed a strong army, and it is extremely difficult for our army to compete in land warfare!"
After thinking for a moment, Zhuge Jin couldn't help but groan secretly, weighing the comparison of the combat power of the two sides in his heart.
After a deterrent from military might.
The next day, Guan Ping, who had not healed from the injury on his left arm, met Zhuge Jin in the government with a tight bandage and discussed important matters in detail.
"Oh, Mr. Ziyu, if you miss the distance, you still hope to forgive your sins!"
"Major General, don't dare to be, don't dare to be."
When the two sides met, they were both approachable, did not put on a score, and saluted each other respectfully.
Immediately, Guan Ping's right palm slowly spread out, and then motioned for him to sit down from the side, waiting for Zhuge Jin to finish sitting, and Ma Liang on the side sat here!
Half-loud kung fu.
Guan Ping also slowly walked back to the main seat and sat down, then smiled, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ziyu, now you and I are still in a confrontation, and your army is still occupying our public security and other important towns. ”
"I wonder why you're here?"
As soon as the words fell, he saw Guan Ping smiling, pretending to be nothing, his eyes were looking directly at Zhuge Jin, and he pretended not to know.
Hearing this, Zhuge Jin knew it, but how could he not know that this was Guan Ping's desire to give him a horse.
"Young General, Jin Nai came specially on the order of my lord to make peace with your army in order to stop the war, and the two sides will release their previous suspicions, rebuild the alliance, and fight against the Cao thief."
"So why not?"
When the words fell, Zhuge Jin was also not to be outdone, pretending not to hear Guan Ping's voice, his face was serious, and he arched his hand and said.
In his words and deeds, the etiquette is very decent, and there is no violation in the slightest!
"Hahaha."
Hearing this, Guan Ping laughed instantaneously at this time, and after half a ring, his face was cold, and he said lightly: "Mr. Ziyu, if Ruoping is not mistaken, who is the soldier who betrayed the alliance and attacked the ally without authorization with the sworn enemy?" ”
"As a result, our army's Northern Expedition fell short in the end, and it did not completely occupy the land of Xiangfan."
A seat fell.
Guan Ping was angry at this time, his eyes were fixed on Zhuge Jin, but he didn't have a good face at all.
This is Guan Ping's countermeasure after discussing with Ma Liang early in the morning, and this time when he met Wu Jun's peace envoy, his attitude must be tough.
Only in this way can we seize the initiative in the process of seeking peace again.
Moreover, due to the strong combat strength of the Jingzhou army, it defeated the Wu army head-on, forcing it to retreat to the public security to protect itself!
It was also necessary for Guan Ping to suppress the Wu army with a strong front of troops, so that the enemy army would not dare to make some excessive demands easily.
The voice settled slowly.
Zhuge Jin listened, but his face was stunned, and suddenly there was a look of embarrassment, and he couldn't wait to have a hole right away, and he could get into it.
Really, it's a shame!
