Zhuge Jin came to negotiate, and he wanted to negotiate with Yuan Yao on a condition that seemed impossible to agree.

"Now there are more than 100,000 troops of our land and water alliance army in Yuzhang County, and the Jingzhou naval army led by Cai Dudu can block the Yangtze River at any time and cut off the connection between your army and Huainan, so I also ask General Zhengdong to carefully consider the conditions proposed by our side."

After being summoned by Yuan Yao, Zhuge Jin stood on top of the lobby and said to Yuan Yao with a threatening voice, and Lu Su and Zhang Zhao were also present.

The so-called "condition" was naturally for Yuan Yao to release the Jingzhou troops and return the Jingzhou warships, which was obviously an impertinent request that could not be agreed.

Before the dialogue, Yuan Yao's first impression of Zhuge Jin was good, he looked slightly younger than Lu Su, but his eyes were wise; upright, but not domineering; Even though he made threatening words, his tone was particularly gentle and sincere, and those who didn't know thought it was really for Yuan Yao's sake.

After the two sides started talking, Yuan Yao didn't pay much attention to Zhuge Jin's threat, because he knew that what the other party said was just nonsense.

Before summoning Zhuge Jin, Yuan Yao and the others had reached a consensus, believing that Zhuge Jin's rude request was just a diplomatic routine, asking for a price and paying back the money on the ground, so Yuan Yao almost listened to what he said, and his right ear bubbled up.

"Hehe," Yuan Yao said with a gentle smile, "Is Ziyu happy to do things at your uncle's place?" If you feel that it is difficult to reach your ambitions, it is better to come to me, and it is better to be a companion with Zijing. ”

“？？？” Zhuge Jin was stunned, not knowing what Yuan Yao was doing.

“！！！” Zhang Zhao frowned, feeling that Yuan Yao was a little out of proportion.

"Hey......" Lu Su sighed secretly, because he knew Yuan Yao's love for talent best, and he himself was pulled into the gang by Yuan Yao's soft grinding and hard bubbles in this way, and now it seems that his master's problem is afraid that he has committed it again.

"This ......" Zhuge Jin was a little embarrassed in the face of Yuan Yao's outspokenness, but he still quickly spoke, "Please forgive General Zhengdong, the foreign minister has no idea of treating others again." ”

Yuan Yao, who was politely refused, was not unhappy, but nodded and said: "Also, after all, it is your own uncle, and it is a little inappropriate for you to betray you like this, so let's wait until I win Yuzhang." But you can rest assured that I will never be worse than my relatives to my subordinates, if you don't believe it, you can ask Zijing. ”

"Thank you, General, for your kindness." Zhuge Jin bowed his hand in embarrassment and said, "I don't know what the general thinks about the conditions proposed by us?" ”

"On what terms?" Yuan Yao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said as if he had just remembered the preface: "Oh, that, of course not." ”

With a somewhat cynical attitude towards Yuan Yao, Zhuge Jin frowned slightly, and was about to speak when Yuan Yao interrupted him......

"Ziyu doesn't need to talk about diplomatic rhetoric anymore, you and Zijing are old acquaintances, we might as well be Mingren and not talk darkly, your so-called 100,000 coalition army, except for the Jingzhou Navy is a trouble for me, the others are not worth a damn, so you might as well say the real purpose of coming here to negotiate, so as not to waste your time!"

Yuan Yao wanted to put his heart into his heart, but Zhuge Jin didn't appreciate it, and said bluntly: "Since the general doesn't agree now, then let's talk about it another day, and the foreign minister will retire." ”

Seeing that Zhuge Jin was so clean and neat, and his confidence was very heavy, as if as soon as Cai Mao blocked the Yangtze River, the Eastern Army would be finished, Yuan Yao couldn't help frowning and stopped: "Ziyu is slow, I am about to leave Wanling and have other important matters, so this is the last time I will summon you, are you sure you will not change your original intention?" ”

Zhuge Jin was stunned when he heard this, although his face changed slightly, he still said unmoved: "The foreign minister is indeed not very changeable. ”

Yuan Yao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face remained unchanged and said, "In this case, Ziyu will go back to the post house to rest first." ”

"The minister retired." Zhuge Jin bowed and bowed, then stepped back and left.

“……”

"Hey......"

Seeing Zhuge Jin leaving, Yuan Yao sighed, regretting that he couldn't find any useful news from his mouth, and the other party seemed to really bite the Yangtze River with Jingzhou's powerful naval army, and then forced Yuan Yao to release people and return the ship.

But Yuan Yao didn't believe that Zhuge Jin would come here to do useless work, because unless Cai Mao annihilated all his own naval army, it would be impossible for Yuan Yao to agree to such humiliating conditions, and Zhuge Jin seemed to be convinced that this result would definitely happen.

Where did he get this confidence? Is there some conspiracy?

Faced with confusion, Yuan Yao couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, and muttered to himself: "What does this Jingzhou want; What Zhuge Xuan wants; What does Cai Mao want? ”

When Lu Su and Zhang Zhao heard Yuan Yao's words, they also looked up at the map hanging on the screen, and their eyes were thoughtful......

For Yuan Yao, Zhuge Xuan and Zhenrong's so-called land alliance army has nothing to worry about, although according to intelligence, its number may be thirty or forty thousand, but it has either never fought or has just been annexed, but it is just a group of rabble.

And the 25,000 soldiers of Tai Shici, Zhang Xun, and Zhang Ying are all veterans who have fought hard battles and seen blood, so there should be no problem in dealing with this kind of enemy.

Yuan Yao's only concern is the water army, and now the focus of both sides seems to be on the water army.

Yuan Yao can't let the opponent's navy blockade the Yangtze River, and he must also send his own navy to contain the opponent, otherwise Cai Mao can land and fight at any point in the Yangtze River.

With their own naval army to contain them, they don't dare to mess around, otherwise they will be kicked in the ass as soon as they land.

So the current situation is that whoever wins the water army will get the final victory.

Cai Mao's army won, let alone Yuzhang, Yuan Yao of Danyang County couldn't hold it, and he couldn't return home after defeat, because the Yangtze River was blocked;

If Yuan's navy wins, then the combined forces of Zhuge Xuan and Zhenrong are just a joke, and there will be no difficulty in capturing Yuzhang.

"The lord will lead the troops across the river to support the navy." Lu Su opened his mouth and said to Yuan Yao.

Lu Su was worried that there was no way out of defeat and so he wanted to persuade Yuan Yao to return to Jiangbei, so that at least Yuan Yao's life could be saved.

The time for the navy of General Zuo's Mansion to be formed was too short, which made people lack confidence, although the number of battleships was forcibly raised by Yuan Yao, but the number of soldiers could not keep up.

Liu Xun only has 20,000 people, and the number of naval warships has 1 building ship, 35 fighting ships, 80 ships, and 10 three-seat galleys, and it takes nearly 40,000 people to control these ships and be able to fight, not counting the battleships that were listed by Yuan Yao.

Since Yuan Yao's army left the navy, Liu Xun could only reluctantly drive the warships out to scare and scare people, and it was a bit difficult to fight, because 20,000 people were divided among so many warships, and if you wanted to fight, there were not enough people to row, and if you wanted to row, there were not enough people to fight, so you could only take care of one and lose the other.

Liu Xun was applying to Yuan Shu for expansion, but he had not yet received an order, Yuan Yao felt that his father was unlikely to give Liu Xun so much establishment, and Yuan Yao's current strategic goal was land, and there was no surplus food to raise forty or fifty thousand people on the water.

Now in the face of the sudden appearance of Cai Mao, and also claimed to blockade the Yangtze River, then Yuan Yao must send troops north to support the navy, otherwise Liu Xun's army alone may not be enough.

In this way, Yuan Yao had only two choices, either to recall Sun Ce, who was marching towards Wu County; Or he will lead the less than 20,000 people left around him to go out in person.

And Lu Su just wanted to take the opportunity to let Yuan Yao leave Jiangdong temporarily, so that even if he failed, he would still have a time to turn over, otherwise if Yuan Yao had an accident, then their subordinates would have little hope.

"Compared with the water army, the subordinates are more worried about another thing......" In Yuan Yao's confusion and Lu Su's worry, Zhang Zhao, the chief bookkeeper, suddenly said a sentence that attracted the attention of the two.

"What is Mr. Zibu worried about?" Yuan Yao asked curiously.

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard indifferently and said, "Hua Xin, Hua Ziyu." ”

"......" Yuan Yao was stunned when he heard this, because he had completely thrown Hua Xin behind his head.

Lu Su was shocked when he heard this, and then hurriedly got up and came to Yutu to take a closer look, and after a while, he said with a gloomy face: "Lord, I'm afraid we are going to fall for Zhuge Xuan's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." ”

"What does Zijing mean?" Yuan Yao's face was a little abrupt, but he still didn't understand the point, so he asked directly.

Lu Su pointed to Yutu and said: "The three generals of Taishi have been transferred to the defense along the Yangtze River by the so-called coalition forces; If the lord is transferred back to Lujiang again, then if the counties under Hua Xin's control are attacked at this time, then we will be powerless to interfere.

Zhuge Jin's words and the fusion of soldiers are likely to be suspicious, the real Zhuge Xuan may have attacked Huaxin's territory from the rear, if it succeeds, then the entire Yuzhang will be unified by them, and then we will be in trouble to attack again.

There is another point, if Zhuge Xuan takes Huaxin's territory, it will border Shanyue, and the situation may become more complicated at that time, which is definitely not conducive to our unification of Jiangdong, Yuzhang is for Jingzhou, but he can break the jar and let it go, and he won't care if he is broken, if they want to collude with Shanyue, they will have more confidence than us when it comes to the conditions, so it is best not to let them connect together. ”

After listening to Lu Su's detailed explanation, Yuan Yao suddenly realized that Hua Xin had been using his low-key inaction strategy to survive in the complex environment of Yuzhang before, which made Yuan Yao ignore his situation a little, thinking that he could still fool the past, but he forgot that the situation had changed now.

Without the Yuan family in Jiangdong, Zhuge Xuan and Zhu Hao were too lazy to pay attention to Huaxin, because they were afraid that the mountains would be more troublesome. But now that Yuan Yao is here, the situation has completely changed, Hua Xin's situation is a little important, and Shanyue is not necessarily just a trouble, for the menacing Yuan family, it is likely to become a help for Zhuge Xuan.

In this way, Lu Su deduced that Zhuge Xuan used Cai Mao and Zhen Rong to transfer Yuan Yao away, and then it was very possible to enjoy the entire territory of Yuzhang alone, and it was also thick and black enough, which was in line with the characteristics of the old arduous skate, at least Yuan Yao would do the same if he had the opportunity.

But Yuan Yao didn't have that opportunity, and now he has become the object of being used, which makes him not annoyed.

"Come on, take Zhuge Jin down for me." Yuan Yao ordered angrily.
