Someone must have been full of confidence in this matter.

Hearing that Zhuge Liang was finally willing to help, Zhuge Jin was overjoyed and said that he would cooperate with Zhuge Liang.

In Cao Mengde's big tent, Cao Mengde sat on the main seat, Zhuge Liang did it in the lower position, Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and said: "Lord, Zhuge Liang has one thing to ask for, I hope the lord will be fulfilled."

Cao Mengde said: "Zhuge Kongming has something to say?"

Zhuge Liang wept and grieved, and said: "My brother's family is in danger, and he has been taken to prison by Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and seeing that his life is not guaranteed, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu said, if the lord jointly attacks Liu Xuande, let Liu Xuande return the seventy-two states of Jingzhou, otherwise he will kill my poor nephew." I beg the Lord to answer and save my brother! ”

Cao Mengde was furious and said: "Sun Quan deceives people too much! Dare to threaten me? It's really annoying! ”

Zhuge Kongming knelt on the ground and said: "If my brother dies, I will die, how can Zhuge Liang live alone!" Please be fair, with the brotherhood of all Zhuge Liang. ”

Cao Mengde said in embarrassment, "In this case, I wrote a letter to order Liu Xuande to return to Jingzhou, if Liu Xuande does not allow it, I should raise troops with Sun Quan to kill Liu Xuande." ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Great goodness! Ask the lord to write a letter and let the messenger bring it. ”

Cao Mengde then wrote a letter and ordered the messenger to take it.

Liu Xuande received a letter, saying that Xu Shijin said: "Cao Mengde sent someone to order me to hand over Jingzhou, in the words, all kinds of threatening words, the implication is that if I don't return Jingzhou, I will return the Xingbing army, what should I do?"

Xu Shijin said: "Cao Mengde's army is strong, and the lord can not confront it, heart, otherwise he will be killed, and the catastrophe is coming, according to my opinion, the lord might as well compromise, he has gained the state, it is better to hand over Jingzhou to avoid Cao Cao's soldiers coming to the city."

Liu Xuande said: "How can this work? No, no! ”

Xu Shijin said: "Chi Ze changed, Cao Mengde was furious, forced his soldiers to come to the city?"

"Don't be impatient, I don't mean that one city is not handed over, but three cities can be handed over to Sun Quan of Eastern Wu first, and the three counties of Lingling, Changsha and Guiyang will be ceded, and the others will not be handed over for the time being, what do you think?"

Liu Xuande said: "Military advisor, you should also know that we have not yet gained a firm foothold in the country of Yizhou Tianfu, and Ma Chao has established himself as the king and shared the world with us equally, if Ma Chao attacks repeatedly, we are in a very bad situation."

Xu Shijin smiled and said, "Of course I understand what you mean, but I'm afraid that Cao Mengde won't!"

Liu Xuande was furious: "What if Cao Mengde refuses, he can't deceive people too much!" What's more, the well water does not interfere with the river water, and Jingzhou is not Cao Mengde's world, so what if he refuses? ”

So, the envoy of the order received the order to hand over the land with Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin and the envoy went to Jingzhou, and when they talked about Cao Mengde's order for Liu Xuande to return Jingzhou, Guan Yunchang was immediately furious: "My brother is so spineless, the manly husband is outside, and he is not subject to it, Liu Bei is afraid that Cao Mengde will raise troops to attack, but I am not afraid!" Although Liu Bei wrote a letter, I will never return Jingzhou. ”

After speaking, he looked at Zhuge Jin and said: "If it weren't for the fact that your brother Zhuge Ke had served for his brother, Zhuge Ke was dead, but you were innocent, otherwise you would not be able to return to Dongwu."

Zhuge Jin said: "Please be sympathetic to me, if you don't return Jingzhou, Sun Quan will slaughter women and children, please have mercy on the general."

Guan Yu said: "This is Sun Quan's plan, how can you hide it from me?" Besides, each is his own master, and he will not receive it. ”

Zhuge Jin said: "Why doesn't General Guan recognize his face?"

Guan Yu took out the sword and said, "The sword has just been sharpened, and I haven't tasted blood." If you say it again, please try the sword? As soon as this sword comes out, there is no face to speak of! ”

Zhuge Jin came out in a huff, drove away from Jingzhou, resentful, and went to Sichuan to see Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde announced that he was in the account, saying that Guan Yunchang refused to return Jingzhou, Cao Mengde already knew in his heart, but on the surface he was very angry, saying that Liu Xuande had promised to return to Jingzhou, and he should go to Liu Xuande, but he couldn't get it, and it was not too late to come again.

After Zhuge Jin left, Zhuge Liang walked out from behind the curtain and said, "If I don't say it, Liu Xuande refuses to return Jingzhou."

Cao Mengde said: "This matter is not what I expected, Liu Xuande is also a person, and he is a hero, if he is willing to return Jingzhou, and Shuchuan is taken down by Ma Chao, he will have no place to stand!" When two tigers fight, there will be deaths and injuries. ”

Zhuge Liang said: "What does the lord want?"

Cao Mengde said: "Mediate from it! To tell the truth, I am neither willing to help Liu Bei nor Sun Quan, Dongwu and Liu Bei are both my confidants! ”

"Therefore, there is only good offices from it"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "The lord is wise!"

Zhuge Jin saw Liu Bei again and described in detail Guan Yunchang's refusal to obey the order, Liu Xuande said angrily: "How can this be true! It's disgusting! ”

Soon, he said: "So far, I have no choice, my brother does not obey the order, I will not hand over Jingzhou, and when I capture Dongchuan, I will personally lead troops to hand over Jingzhou, what do you think?"

Zhuge Jin really had no choice but to agree, and asked Liu Xuande to write a letter to report to Sun Quan.

Zhuge Jin returned to Eastern Wu in a huff, and presented Liu Bei's letter to Sun Quan, Sun Quan read the letter, was furious, and said: "This is Zhuge Liang's full strength!"

Zhuge Jin said: "No, Zhuge Liang tried his best to persuade him, but Liu Xuande had something to say, and he only pushed Guan Yunchang not to listen to the order, take Dongchuan and return it to Jingzhou."

Sun Quan was immediately furious: "Guan Yu Pifu, deceive people too much!" I swear to destroy Guan Yu! ”

At this moment, Lu Su wanted to speak and stopped.

Sun Quan was angry and severely reprimanded Lu Su, "Lu Su, are you dumb?" At the beginning, you were a guarantor for Liu Bei, but did you expect it to be today? ”

"Liu Bei refuses to return Jingzhou, you can't escape the blame, if you didn't guarantee Liu Xuande, there would be today!"

Lu Su was ashamed, speechless, and suddenly said: "I have thought of a plan to return Jingzhou."

Sun Quan said: "What's the plan?"

Lu Su said: "Today, the soldiers are in Lukou, invite Guan Yu to the Hongmen banquet, put sweat medicine in the dishes, wait for Guan Yu to go to the Hongmen banquet, first say obey with kind words, if he does not obey, he will be destroyed!"

Sun Quan said: "Guan Yu's bravery, who can stop Jiangdong?" Zhou Yu is dead, who can kill Guan Yu? ”

Lu Su said: "I know that Guan Yunchang is brave and fearless, but I can first drink with him with wine, and only after the sweat medicine is played, can I behead him." Can destroy Guan Yu. ”

Sun Quan asked again: "What if Guan Yu doesn't come?"

"If Guan Yu doesn't come, he can lead a large army to attack the city and capture Jingzhou with a large army. Liu Xuande was in Hanzhong, there was no time to rush to help, and Ma Chao set himself up as the king, and far water could not quench his thirst. Why worry about the great cause!
