Zhang Zhao couldn't persuade Sima Yi, so he could only follow the army. Read it

That night, the army was stationed at the foot of a mountain in Jiaozhou.

Sima Yi just entered the tent, and Zhang Zhao rushed over.

The guard held the lamp in the tent, Sima Yi invited Zhang Zhao to sit down, and asked him: "Zhang Gong said that he came to surrender, I just want to ask, where is the sincerity?" ”

Stunned by his question, Zhang Zhao asked rhetorically: "What General Sima said is ...... sincerity?"

"Even Zhang Gong doesn't know what sincerity is, how can he come to negotiate peace talks with me?" Sima Yi asked.

"I still don't quite understand, the sincerity of what General Sima said ......" Zhang Zhao actually knew what Sima Yi meant, but he couldn't say it himself, so he had to pretend not to understand and try to confuse the past.

"When Zhang Gong came here, he told me that Sun Zhongmou was willing to surrender. But I didn't see him personally, nor did I see any sincerity on his part. Sima Yi said: "Just based on Zhang Gong's words, could it be that I have to order the soldiers to stop?" The army stopped advancing, in case Sun Zhongmou secretly did something, causing a huge loss of soldiers one day in the future, how should I substitute for the main bus? ”

"General Sima is too worried." As soon as Sima Yi said this, Zhang Zhao hurriedly replied: "I came here, can't it be regarded as the sincerity of the Sun family?" ”

"If Zhang Gong is just a bait for them to put in, wouldn't the soldiers and I become baited fish?" Sima Yi said: "With such a big bet, I can't afford to be responsible. ”

Zhang Zhao looked stunned, he didn't expect this.

"If Sun Zhongmou is really sincere, I have a way." Sima Yi said: "The army continues to advance and surround him first. Zhang Gong went to Yizhou to meet my father-in-law, and everyone was happy after the discussion. If we can't negotiate it, then let Sun Zhongmou send troops to fight us. ”

Sima Yi put forward this condition, but of course Zhang Zhao could not accept it.

Once the Wei army occupied Jiaozhou, Sun Quanke really did not have any conditions for negotiation.

At that time, even if Sun Quan took the initiative to surrender, Cao Shuo would still kill him if he wanted to, and he could not have any worries.

"That's not the right way." Zhang Zhao replied: "If that's the case, what's the difference between going to peace talks and not going to peace talks?" ”

"If Zhang Gong thinks it's inappropriate, he can send someone back to tell Sun Zhongmou and ask him to prepare soldiers and horses to fight our army." Sima Yi smiled indifferently and said to Zhang Zhao: "Jiaozhou's current strength, Zhang Gong should know better than me. With Sun Zhongmou's subordinates, if you want to stop our army, I'm afraid it's not so easy! ”

"General Sima is right, Jiaozhou does not have too many soldiers and horses." Zhang Zhao replied: "But if you really want to fight, the soldiers of the two armies will be devastated, no matter who wins or who loses, it will not benefit each other." ”

"My conditions are here." Sima Yi didn't give Zhang Zhao a chance to speak at all, he said in a completely non-negotiable tone: "Either let our army surround Sun Zhongmou, and I will give Zhang Gong a chance to meet the lord." Or, the two armies will arrange their troops, and we will fight first, and then make plans. ”

"General Sima really won't give in half a step?" Zhang Zhao frowned and said: "This request you made, don't say that I won't agree, and the entire Jiaozhou won't agree......"

"Then it's better not to say yes." Sima Yi pursed his lips and said with an indifferent face: "Gong Zhang came here to ask for peace, I gave you the opportunity to negotiate peace, but you refused to agree to my request, so there is nothing to talk about." ”

"General Sima!" Zhang Zhao interrupted Sima Yi: "I heard that the general is a wise man, so he came to the peace talks. You must know that people live in the world and give each other some face, so that things can be done more smoothly......"...

Sima Yi laughed, and he asked Zhang Zhao: "Zhang Gong doesn't think that being respected is because he respects others, right?" ”

"Isn't it?" Zhang Zhao asked Sima Yi suspiciously.

"Of course not." Sima Yi said: "Respect depends on strength!" Our army has many officers and men, excellent weapons, and countless grains and grasses. Attack Jiaozhou, but within a snap of a finger. Why don't you respect us? The Jiaozhou soldiers are outnumbered, the food recruitment is not complete, and the ordnance has long been outdated. Why should we respect you? ”

"The general said so, that is, there is no need to talk about it at all?" Zhang Zhao got up and asked.

"Zhang Gong is threatening me?" Sima Yi smiled: "Since Zhang Gong is unwilling to talk, then it's better not to talk about it." ”

He shouted outside the tent: "Someone! ”

The guard walked in.

Sima Yi commanded: "Send off guests!" ”

"Gong Zhang, please!" The guard motioned for Zhang Zhao to leave.

Knowing that he couldn't make any sense with Sima Yi here, Zhang Zhao snorted hatefully and turned his head to leave the tent.

He didn't walk far away, and happened to bump into Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others who came over.

Zhang Zhao bowed his hand and left angrily.

Lu Bu and the others turned their heads and looked at him walking away.

"Zhongda definitely didn't give him a good look." Lu Bu smiled and said to Zhao Yun and the others, "Otherwise, he wouldn't have left angrily." ”

"Zhang Zhao is here to sue for peace, what is Zhongda going to do?" Zhao Yun said puzzledly: "Even if he wants our army to be stationed here first, give him a chance." I still don't believe that with that little bit of people in Jiaozhou, I can make any moves behind the scenes. ”

"I don't believe that I can do anything with that little bit of people in Jiaozhou." Lu Bu pursed his lips: "But Zhongda doesn't think so, he thinks that once our army is stationed, the matter of negotiating peace talks with Sun Zhongmou will fall into passivity." If you want to promote peace talks, and you want Sun Zhongmou to unconditionally agree to surrender, the only way is to come to the city and force Sun Zhongmou to a dead end. ”

"I'm afraid that Sun Zhongmou won't agree." Zhao Yun said: "Zhongda is actually embarrassing Zhang Zhao by doing this. ”

"Of course I know he's embarrassing Zhang Zhao." Lu Bu pouted and said, "But if we don't embarrass him, Sun Zhongmou may embarrass us." There is no other choice, and for the time being, we have to do it. ”

"General Lu and Zhong Da have the same idea." Wei Yan next to him said with a smile: "When we came to Jiaozhou this time, we didn't plan to let Sun Zhongmou go. There is a huge disparity in military strength between the two sides, and our army has a new type of ordnance sent by the lord from Penglai. Once the artillery and mines were put into use, the Sun family in Jiaozhou had no chance at all. ”

"That's what I said, but Sun Zhongmou and Zhang Zhao can't see it clearly." Lu Bu replied: "They don't know that our army has such a killing weapon. ”

Waving to everyone, Lu Bu continued: "Let's go meet Zhongda and see what he and Zhang Zhao say." ”

Everyone agreed, and followed Lu Bu to Sima Yi's handsome tent.

When the generals arrived, Sima Yi hurriedly invited them into the tent: "Why are the generals here?" ”
