"What? Sun Liu fell out? Who hacked whom? Liu Xie asked Jia Xu, who came to report the good news, with an expectant face. But Jia Xu shook his head and smiled: "Saint, how can there be such a good thing, even if Sun Liu is not in harmony, under the current circumstances, he will not let me wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman." ”

"Alas~ I'm sorry." Liu Xie said with a regretful face when he heard this.

“…… According to Shengshang's thoughts, to what extent does Sun Liu have to fall out before he is satisfied? Jia Xu asked curiously.

"Of course, Sun and Liu were both defeated, and in the end they were seriously injured, so I can save my worries." Liu Xie replied with a smile.

Jia Xu shook his head and smiled, amused by Liu Xie's wish. Now the eyes and ears of the imperial court are all over the world, even in the Sun-Liu coalition army, there are also the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and they are responsible for sending the latest situation of the Sun-Liu coalition army to the imperial court. Sun Liu had a dispute due to differences of opinion, and the news was also sent to Liu Xie as soon as possible.

However, Liu Xie still has reservations about whether Sun and Liu are really out of harmony. Sun Quan and Liu Bei are both thick-faced and black-hearted people, and their vision of judging the situation is even better. It is unlikely that Sun Quan would have chosen to turn against Liu Bei without Liu Xie's clear promise, and if it was said that he acted in order to win Liu Xie's trust, Liu Xie would not believe Sun Quan's sincerity if he said anything.

What faith does a person who can even kill his own brother have to do it? Anyway, Liu Xie didn't believe that Sun Quan really intended to negotiate peace with him. If Sun Quan really had the intention of peace talks, why did he take the initiative to provoke in the first place?

But if it weren't for the purpose of showing his sincerity, then the feud between Sun Quan and Liu Bei would be worthy of vigilance. If something goes wrong, it will be a demon! What Liu Xie can think of at present is that Sun Quan and Liu Bei are acting together to fool people, and the one who is going to be fooled by them is himself nine times out of ten.

Now that the imperial court is strong and Sun Liu is weak, it is normal for Sun Liu to want to win the battle of Chibi and play some conspiracy. Because he just didn't win Liu Xie, he could only find another way and use unscrupulous means.

Liu Xie is not sure that Sun Liu is acting in a play, but Liu Xie can decide his attitude. It doesn't matter if you're acting or not, if I don't play it, then you don't have a problem with me. Regardless of whether Sun Quan and Liu Bei really fell out, Liu Xie has already made up his mind not to get involved, even if Sun Quan and Liu Bei break their heads and blood is flowing all over the ground, Liu Xie is not ready to participate in it at this time.

Xue Zong's envoy came to the Han army camp for the third time, originally he came to see Liu Xie with full hope, but the result was that he came with hope and returned disappointed. Liu Xie was not interested in the matter of Sun Liu's loss of harmony at all, and Liu Xie also directly refused Xue Zong's proposal to join forces with the imperial court to attack Liu Bei, not giving Xue Zong the slightest chance to toss and turn.

Xue Zong, who returned in vain, made Sun Quan angry, half of it was that Liu Xie was cunning and not fooled, and the other half was depressed after doing useless work. Indeed, as Liu Xie guessed, Sun Liu lost harmony is a play. Whether it is Sun Quan or Liu Bei, they all know that the odds of winning against the court are really not high, so they came up with such a plan, but Liu Xie is not in the trap, they are just busy in vain.

But Sun and Liu were not discouraged, a plan could not be made, the drama of disharmony continued to be played, and the male supporting actor No. 1, who was treated unfairly and intended to defect to the imperial court, also appeared.

The aforementioned He Qi, shortly after being transferred back to Chibi from Chaisang, was publicly beaten with a forty-spine cane for publicly questioning Lü Meng's coping strategy. He Qi is a veteran minister of Jiangdong, although his qualifications are not as good as the late Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and others, but Lu Meng is definitely a junior compared to him. And now this junior doesn't give himself half of the face, and orders to be beaten in public, although the executioner is merciful, but He Qi, who feels that he has lost face, is still ashamed and angry.

Impulsiveness is the devil! He Qi was furious and ordered his son He Jing to cross the river at night to ask to see Liu Xie, saying that he was willing to abandon the darkness and surrender to the court.

Looking at He Jing, who was still angry at the mention of He Qi being beaten, Liu Xie spoke: "I have heard of your father's name for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to see him." Originally, I felt a little regretful about playing against him on the battlefield, but now that your father is willing to vote, I am willing to accept it. You go back and tell your father, let him be at ease for a while, and when I am ready here, then the inside and outside should be together, and Sun Quan Xiao'er will be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”

"Weichen obeys the order, and after he goes back, he must persuade his father to endure for a while, but I hope that the saint will act as soon as possible, so as not to make Sun Quan suspicious, if he transfers his father away again, then his father will not be able to do it at that time."

"Huh...... Rest assured, I will do it as soon as possible. Without further ado, go over the river to your father. Liu Xie smiled when he heard this, and said to He Jing.

personally sent He Jing to the boat, and watching the boat disappear into the hazy night, Liu Xie turned around and ordered Cao Zhang to ask people to invite Sima Yi, Guo Jia and others to come to the meeting. By the time Liu Xie returned to his tent, Sima Yi, Guo Jia and others, who had been summoned in advance, were already waiting in the tent.

"You must have heard about it, so I won't talk nonsense, and tell you what you think about He Qi's coming to vote." Liu Xie said straight to Sima Yi and the others.

"Saint, He Qi is an old minister of Jiangdong, and it is indeed possible to vote sincerely after being humiliated in public." Pang Tong was the first to speak.

But it cannot be ruled out that he was ordered to surrender. After all, I am strong and the enemy is weak, if Sun Liu wants to defeat me, it is very likely that one of the means will be resorted to. Sima Yi followed and said.

"What does the Holy One think of this?" Guo Jia looked at Liu Xie and asked.

"Me? Whether he Heqi is sincere in surrendering or coming to surrender is unchanged. He is sincere in his vote, and I welcome him, but if he intends to surrender, then I will let him go around without eating. ”

"How is the Holy Lord going to let him walk around without eating?" Guo Jia asked again.

“…… The day He Qi led his troops to surrender was the period when our army and Sun Liu officially started the war. ”

Hearing that Liu Xie had finally announced the time for the war, Sima Yi, Pang Tong and others couldn't help but show excited expressions. To tell the truth, just kept working hard, not only Sun Liu was uncomfortable, but the people on Liu Xie's side were not happy. Now that they have finally heard a quasi-day, Sima Yi, Pang Tong and others finally don't have to worry about this time.

"Holy Lord, listen to what you mean, you don't care if He Qi really comes to vote?" Jia Xu opened his mouth and asked Liu Xiedao.

"Wenhe, why bother with the truth or falsehood of He Qi, he led his troops to vote, our army went to war, he came to surrender, and our army still wants to go to war."

"Then once the war starts, how will our army treat He Qi?"

“…… Before I accept Heqi's submission, everyone from Heqi and below can be killed. ”

……

He Jing was very careful, and after returning to Sun Liu's camp, no one was alarmed, and quietly slipped into He Qi's camp to report the harvest of crossing the river. When He Qi heard that Liu Xie asked him to wait for news, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly. Waiting means giving up the initiative in your hands, and the decision on when to start an incident is called to Liu Xie's hands, not himself. But in this way, the risk of trouble on your own side increases.

What's more, although He Qi decided to submit to the imperial court, he was unwilling to let go of the power in his hands. He Jiajun is the foundation of He Qi's life, without He Jiajun, He Qi can only be at the mercy of others, but He Jing did not negotiate with Liu on the ownership of He Jiajun, which made He Qi a little annoyed by He Jing's stupidity.

"My son, tomorrow you will work hard, and then go to the other side."

"Huh? Still going? He Jing was a little puzzled when he heard this.

"Yes, go back. This time, I will remember two things, one is to determine the future belonging of the He family, and the other is to inform the saint that Sun Quan is very suspicious, and you and my father and son are worried that Sun Quan will see the flaws, so please allow us to take matters into account and ask the saint to do a good job of responding. ”

“…… Father, why is that? He Jing couldn't understand why his father wanted to let him make this extra trip, and asked puzzledly.

"The belonging of the He family is the foundation of my He family, and taking matters into our own hands can take the initiative in our own hands. Remember, you don't have to come back without negotiating these two things. ”

“…… The child obeyed. He Jing agreed with a bitter face.

After He Jing was sent away, He Qi lay on the bed thinking about his thoughts, the forty spines during the day were not serious, one was that He Jing was in good health, and the other was that the executioners intended to release water, don't look at the skin on the back of the forty spines, but it was only a skin injury, and it did not hurt the lungs, and it could be healed after a while.

Just when He Qi was in a daze and seemed to be asleep, there was a sudden sound of the collision of armor leaves in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw a team of heavily armed soldiers pouring into the camp tent, and the bows and crossbows in their hands were also aimed at him.

"What are you waiting! I don't know if this is the camp of the general? He Qi was furious and asked angrily.

"He Gongmiao doesn't need to be angry, they are just arresting traitors who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country." Before the words fell, Lu Meng walked in with everyone in line.

"Lu Ziming, who do you say collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country?" He Qi asked angrily.

"Huh...... Didn't you say that you still mean myself? Bring it in. Lu Meng sneered, ordered outside the tent, and then someone was escorted in.

"He Gongmiao, do you think this person is familiar?" Lu Meng asked He Qi with a sneering expression.

"Hmph, if you want to add sin, there is no excuse." He Qi snorted coldly.

“…… It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, when your own son spits out, I'll see how you deny it then. Lu Meng didn't care, and said with a sneer.

"Lu Ziming, do you want to exclude dissidents?" He Qi stared at Lu Meng and asked.

"Wrong, I call it prevention before it burns."

Under Miki, why not ask for it. He Jing did not survive the torture and confided the truth, which also pushed the He family into the abyss. Seeing He Jing confess in person, He Jing, who was listening on the sidelines, closed his eyes in pain, and a sense of despair surged into his heart. He didn't blame He Jing, he only blamed himself for not acting secretly, so that Lu Meng, who was bent on seizing his handle, got the opportunity.

"He Gongmiao, what else do you have to say at this time?" Lu Meng asked He Qi coldly.

"......" He Qi has no words, the facts are there, everything he says is a quibble, so there is no need to waste that saliva.

When Lu Meng saw He Qi's silence, he couldn't help but feel a little difficult, the reason why he wanted to beat He Qi in public before was to arouse He Qi's dissatisfaction and turn his back on the enemy to join the enemy. At present, the goal has been achieved, but eradicating He Qi is not the ultimate goal of the discussion between Lu Meng and Zhuge Liang.

"Ziming, can you let me say the next word?" Seeing that Lu Meng couldn't find the bones, the person who rescued the scene spoke.

"Kong Ming, if you have something to say, please speak in person." Lu Meng hurriedly replied.

"This time, General He intends to defect to the enemy, not so much because of General He's original intention, but because he was forced by you."

"Me? What did Kong Ming say about this? When Lu Meng heard this, he immediately asked dissatisfiedly.

"Ziming, don't be annoyed, and listen to Liang in detail."

"You say."

"Ziming, although you are the governor of Sun and Liu's armies, General He is an old minister of Jiangdong, to put it mildly, when he led soldiers and horses to expand the territory for the Sun family, you were just a pawn. At present, although you are already higher than General He, you should still have the necessary respect. But you didn't, and General He was arrogant, and let one of your juniors be beaten in public, this face can't get up and down, for the sake of momentary anger, this is a mistake. General He, I don't know what the following analysis can say to your heart? Zhuge Liang said and asked He Qi.

What else can He Qi say? Everything Zhuge Liang said was his own heart. This Lu Mengtai didn't give him He Qi face, so that He Qi couldn't come to the stage in other people's homes, in order to save face, except to return to the imperial court, He Qi couldn't think of any other way.

“…… Now that the big mistake has been made, what's the use of talking about it? Lu Meng also realized that he had mishandled it before, but he still said stiffly.

Hearing Lu Meng's words, He Qi's heart couldn't help but feel gloomy. Indeed, as Lu Meng said, at this time, it is meaningless to say who is right and who is wrong, it is a fact that his He family intends to surrender to the enemy, and now Lu Meng has taken the life, and with Sun Quan's actions, he will not be able to tolerate the He family, and the He family will go to Huangquan together this time because of his own thoughts.

"If you want to turn this matter around, it's not that there is no chance at all." Zhuge Liang's words were like heaven to He Qi at this time. It's like a person who has fallen into the water and suddenly grabs a life-saving straw, regardless of whether it is useful or not, there is no harm in listening.

Lu Meng was also quite curious about how Zhuge Liang could help He Qi get away with his guilt at this time. I heard Zhuge Liang unhurriedly shake the white feather fan in his hand, and said slowly: "General He sent people to secretly contact the people in the court, in fact, he was instructed by Ziming, in order to blend into the Han army and wait for the future to meet with the outside world. ”

"So how do you explain it now?" Lu Meng asked.

He Jing's unsecretive actions aroused Ziming's suspicions, but General He flatly denied it and temporarily prevaricated Ziming. However, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the time for General He's incident needs to be advanced, and the imperial court needs to respond in advance. ”

"Kong Ming, and then?" Lu Meng asked again.

"On the third day of the first month of next month, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and it is a good day for General He to lead his troops to vote." Zhuge Liang continued.

“…… Kong Ming, can't you finish the words all at once? Do you have to ask? Lu Meng glared at Zhuge Liang with some dissatisfaction and complained.

"Huh...... Ziming, don't blame, I just said, the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the sky is murderous and arsonous. Zhuge Liang smiled when he heard this, and said to Lu Meng.
