Chapter 342: Negotiation
According to the original plan of Fazheng, Sun Quan sent people to sue for peace, and then Liu Bei's side opened the conditions, but this time Jiangdong's performance was too tough, so that Fazheng's calculation was a little wrong, but it was not much different for Fazheng, Sun Quan must have realized what Liu Bei meant, and now the problem is how to reconcile the two sides with dignity.
"Humph!" At Chaisang Port, the general who came to pick up Fa Zheng to see Lu Su glanced at Fa Zheng coldly, and stretched out his hand casually: "Sir, please come with me." ”
That look, that tone, very unpleasant, Fa Zheng suddenly stopped leaving, silently stood in the port, calmly looking at the surrounding scenery, to be honest, the scenery of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River is really different.
"What do you mean, sir?" The general frowned and looked at Fa Zheng, suppressed his anger and asked.
"What do you mean?" Fa Zheng glanced at the general and said: "This is also what I am thinking, this envoy, the person I represent, is my lord, not to mention that the friendship between you and me has not been broken, that is, at this moment has torn his face, is also representing my lord, a prince, and a land of two states, Your Excellency from the beginning of taking me on the ship, not only cold, but also very unfair, he~"
With a chuckle, Fa Zheng looked the military general up and down: "Could it be that this is Jiangdong's hospitality?" ”
"I Jiangdong treats guests with courtesy, but if you come to invade my Jiangdong border for no reason, you are a villain, a wicked guest is coming, a certain unflashed sword is already my Jiangdong etiquette!" The military general snorted coldly.
"Where do you start?" Fa Zheng looked at the other party with a puzzled expression: "When will our army violate your Jiangdong border?" ”
"This ......" The military general was speechless for a while, talking about eloquence, who is Fa Zheng afraid of, not to mention that what he said is right, we are stationed in Xiakou and Xiajun, but that is our own territory, and have we offended you by an inch of land? How is it a border violation?
"And how are you going?" The military general was a little annoyed and said angrily.
"I don't want to do anything, but I can't feel the sincerity of Lord Wu, and I'm afraid that I will live up to my lord's trust." Fa Zheng sighed, looked at the rolling Yangtze River, and said with a tragic face: "If you throw yourself into the river and die, you won't make people laugh in vain in this world." ”
After saying that, he really wanted to jump into the river, although the military general was quite dissatisfied with the people on Liu Bei's side, but if he really let Fa Zheng jump into the river and die in front of his eyes, he couldn't afford this responsibility, maybe the two families would go to war directly.
hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Fa Zheng, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. forgive the sin, it is rude to the last general, and I hope that Mr. will not care!" ”
Generally speaking, when Xiucai meets a soldier, it is most common sense in the world to be unreasonable, but when he encounters a hob such a role as Fa Zheng, the military general can only silently swallow his bitter fruit.
"Lead the way!" Fa Zheng pushed away the military general with some disgust, patted the dust that did not exist on his body, straightened his clothes, and then said to the military general, looking at it like that, how could there be the posture of seeking death and life half a little bit ago.
"......" After a while, the military general bowed down and said, "Sir, please." ”
Fa Zheng no longer spoke sarcastically, just enjoyed the scenery of Jiangdong all the way, while following the military general to the Chaisang camp slowly, did not see Sun Quan, sitting behind the handsome case, was a middle-aged scribe with a sick face, saw Fa Zheng coming, smiled and said: "The name of Mr. Xiaozhi has long been heard, and I can see it today, it is really extraordinary." ”
"Mr. Zijing is equally admirable." Fa Zheng looked at Lu Su's withered face, and said with a smile: "It's just that Mr. seems to be unwell, why do you want Mr. to come and preside over the overall situation?" ”
Lu Su raised his eyebrows and looked at this sharp-edged young man, although what Fa Zheng said was an understatement, but this was a bit ironic about no one in Jiangdong.
Shaking his head, Lu Su smiled and said: "There are many outstanding people under my lord's command, but most of them are busy with official business, and it is ...... to meet Mr.
Just find the worst one to receive you.
"Mr. Zijing's words are serious, but also, although Mr. is the governor of Jiangdong, but after all, he is sick, Lord Wu asked Mr. to treat me, do you think that he is the king and is above my lord?"
Looking for the worst to receive me? Sun Quan, are you floating? You don't really think that with the title of King Wu, you can override my lord, right?
Lu Su looked at Fa Zheng, suddenly smiled, shook his head and said: "Today's filial piety reminds me that when Kong Ming came to Jiangdong, he was also as sharp as Xiaozhi. ”
During the Battle of Chibi, Zhuge Liang's drama of fighting the Confucians was a rare wonderful move on Liu Bei's side.
"Zhengde is shallow, how dare he compare with the military division?" Fa Zheng saw that Lu Su had let go of the temptation, and he was no longer aggressive at the moment, but smiled at Lu Su with a slight smile.
"Xiaozhi, I don't know what he did when he came this time?" Lu Su looked at Fa Zheng and asked with a smile.
"Mr. Zijing doesn't know?" Fa Zheng looked at Lu Su and asked rhetorically.
"Su is dull, I really don't understand." Lu Su shook his head and said.
"It seems that Mr. Zijing is not valued by Lord Wu, this matter cannot be said to Mr. Zijing, please Mr. Zijing Bingming Lord Wu, just here is asking for something, even if Lord Wu does not want to see me, please Lord Wu can invite a person with high hope!" Fa Zheng leaned back, a little disappointed.
Lu Su: "......"
This thing has been talking with thorns since it came in, what is the operation? I really want to cut people!
Lu Su shook his head and said: "Rest assured, Xiaozhi naturally can't fully represent King Wu, but Mr. Xiaozhi, I'm afraid he can't fully represent the emperor's uncle, right?" ”
Fa Zheng looked at Lu Su, and after the two looked at each other for a moment, they suddenly looked at each other and smiled, Fa Zheng sat down and said: "My lord is quite worried about Lord Wu's acceptance of the Cao thief's title of king, and I am here this time, I also want to know, does Lord Wu's acceptance of the king this time mean that Lord Wu has formed an alliance with Cao Thief and wants to tear up the covenant between you and me?" ”
"Where does filial piety begin?" Lu Su shook his head and said: "My lord was crowned King Wu, but it was sealed by the edict of the Son of Heaven, how could Uncle Huang think that he was going to tear up the covenant?" The Son of Heaven is the co-lord of the world, and the imperial uncle is also a relative of the Han family, is it possible that the imperial uncle does not want my lord to obey the will of the Son of Heaven? ”
"Not really!" Fa Zheng looked at Lu Su, shook his head and said: "But now that the Cao thief coerced the Son of Heaven and ordered the princes, the so-called edict of the Son of Heaven, if it was not for the Cao thief's instructions, how could it be issued, and the lord accepted this edict, wouldn't he accept the reward of the Cao thief?" ”
"Sir, I don't dare to agree!" Lu Su shook his head and said: "As Mr. said, Your Majesty was persecuted by Cao Thief, but if my lord does not accept it, he will not respect the Son of Heaven, and Heaven will not take it, but accept the blame, it is not the intention of the Son of Heaven, but if Cao Thief uses the name of the Son of Heaven to cut down my Jiangdong again, what should I do in Jiangdong?" ”
"You and I are allies, if the Cao thief comes to attack Jiangdong, my lord will not sit idly by." The law is the way of course.
"But did Hyozhi ever think about ......"
The conversation between Lu Su and Fa Zheng lasted from the morning to the evening.
The two never mentioned the matter of Liu Bei's troops at the border, but they just began to argue around the issue of Sun Quan becoming the king, but Fa Zheng did not mention Lu Meng's sneak attack on Jingzhou, it was not a pleasant past, it was the same for both sides, and it was best to mention it to hurt feelings and rot in the stomach.
Basically, Fa Zheng and Lu Su don't want the two sides to fight, but the demands are different, Jiangdong can't take Jingzhou, and needs to open up another space for development, and Liu Bei needs to be the king, it stands to reason that the two families take what they need, but that's not how the problem comes.
First of all, Liu Bei is the king, and he has to get the support of Jiangdong, and Jiangdong also needs Liu Bei's help to obtain more depth space, after all, even if Sun Quan wants to attack the land of Jianghuai, if there is no Liu Bei to help contain it, Sun Quan is really powerless to fight against Cao Jun on his own.
Of course, in the first contact, the two sides did not really come to a result, and Lu Su did not say that he was going to attack Jianghuai, but hoped that Liu Bei would be able to return Jiangxia.
There is no need to ask Liu Bei about this, Fa Zheng directly vetoed it, Jiangxia's position is too important, if there is no Jiangxia, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses will attack silently, and there will be another sneak attack, what will we block? I succeeded by luck last time, but it doesn't mean that I can block it next time, this is really not negotiable, and Fa Zheng also knows that this is definitely not Jiangdong's final request, if it really has to be Jiangxia, this can't be talked about at all.
However, in the first negotiation, the two sides did not have to make the final decision on the matter, more, it is better to test the other party's tone, between smart people, many words do not need to be too thorough, and the other party can understand that it is naturally good, if you can't understand, it means that the other party is not suitable for this job, Sun Quan or Liu Bei should replace someone as soon as possible.
This first round of the invisible contest, basically Lu Su and Fa Zheng can determine the other party's ability and Liu Bei and Sun Quan's attitude towards this matter, the next question is to report to each other, and the next time you come to negotiate, it is to really start negotiating for the interests with the sincerity of both sides.
"How many more days will Xiaozhi live?" At the end of the negotiation, Lu Su, with the support of the generals, sent Fa Zheng out, and when he was leaving, he smiled at Fa Zheng and said: "This Jiangdong is different from Shudi, and filial piety can be spent a few more days." ”
"Nope." Fa Zheng looked at Lu Su's rickety body, hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Zijing's body is ......."
Although they are hostile, Lu Su is really a very annoying character, looking at Lu Su's appearance, Fa Zheng is a little unbearable.
"It's been a long time, out of the way." Lu Su said with a smirk smile.
"Then I'm going to take my leave." Fa Zheng bowed to Lu Su and said.
"Good students escort filial piety." Lu Su looked at the general and said.
"Whoa!"
At the invitation of the general, Fa Zheng boarded the ship, and the boat sailed out quickly.
Lu Su silently watched the shadow of Fazheng's boat disappear from sight, shook his head a little bitterly and said, "Liu Bei's command, there are really many outstanding people." ”
First there were Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, and now there is Fazheng, Jiangdong is in the direction of talents, how to fight against Liu Bei?
