Chapter 168: Intimidating Xu Tan
Liu Yezai carefully read the peace request, and after being silent for a while, he said: "Brother Xu, this peace request is written in sincere words, which can express the guilt in General Liu's heart, but it ......"
After listening to Liu Ye's first half of the sentence, Xu Tan's eyes flashed with a fine light, but when he heard the word "but", he sighed in his heart and subconsciously asked, "But what is it?" ”
"However, I did not see the sincerity of General Liu in the final conditions put forward in this book. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Liu Ye stretched out his hand and pointed at the book, "First of all, this Yinling City was originally the territory of my family's Yuan Zhoumu, and then Huai'an, Guangling, etc. were taken by our Huainan soldiers with hard work, how could General Liu take them out as a condition for peace?" ”
Xu Tan smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Ziyang, this is wrong, Huai'an and Guangling are our Xuzhou territories. Although it has been captured by Yuan Zhoumu, it still belongs to Xuzhou in name, and our General Liu means that as long as Yuan Zhoumu is willing to let go, he is willing to go to the imperial court and assign Huai'an, Guangling and other places to Yangzhou. ”
Yuan Jiang quietly took over the conversation at this time, "If Brother Xu says so, it will really be self-deception. Huai'an, Guangling and other places are already in our hands, isn't that already the territory of Yangzhou, and your General Liu can't take it away, in this case, what's the use of that false name? Brother Xu, am I right? ”
"This ......" Xu Tan was speechless when Yuan Jiang said it, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Yuan Jiang suddenly stood up, handed the book in Liu Ye's hand back into Xu Tan's hand, and said with a smile: "I can also see that General Liu is deliberately playing tricks on me, and there is no intention of seeking peace at all, since this is the case, I don't think there is any need to talk about it anymore, I will go back and tell my father to tighten the blockade of Yinling City, wait until the spring of next year, and wipe out all Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in one go." ”
When Xu Tan heard this, he immediately panicked, and he hurriedly paused, "Yuan Gongzi, I can't help it, this is absolutely unacceptable." ”
Yuan Jiang waved his robe and snorted coldly: "I have made up my mind, it's useless for you to say anything more." Or go back and tell Liu Bei, let him prepare early, this son happened to get a sword a few days ago, and he was about to test the head of the sword. ”
"Yuan Gongzi ......" Xu Tan's eyes were full of despair when he saw that Yuan Jiang had no intention of negotiating with him - when he came, Liu Bei repeatedly told him that no matter what, Yuan Shu should lift the blockade of Yinling City, and agreed to let Liu Bei return to Xuzhou through Huai'an, but this is good, the matter has not been discussed, it has already ended.
Just as Xu Tan was meditating and preparing to explain the wording to Yuan Jiang, Liu Ye took the lead and relieved him of the siege, "Childe, in fact, this matter can also be talked about slowly, since Brother Xu has come here, you can't let him go home empty-handed, right?" ”
Saying that, Liu Ye also gave Xu Tan a look, at this time, the latter was like a man in the water caught a life-saving bamboo pole, and hurriedly responded: "Brother Ziyang is right, Yuan Gongzi, in fact, my lord is still very sincere, he instructed me that as long as Yuan Zhoumu can lift the blockade of Yinling City and allow us to return to Xuzhou through Huai'an, he can agree to any conditions." ”
In a hurry, Xu Tan was unobtrusive, and even told Liu Bei what he had explained before, 1510, and all of them.
Yuan Jiang smiled and raised his eyebrows, "Oh, is it okay to have any conditions?" ”
"This ......" Xu Tan realized that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry, but now it was too late to make up for it, so he could only smile with a shy face: "Yuan Gongzi, we can discuss the matter of this condition." ”
"Mmmm, it seems that you still have some sincerity." Yuan Jiang and Liu Ye exchanged looks with each other, and then said: "Brother Xu, I am not an unreasonable person, but the launch of this war was originally General Liu's fault, which not only caused great harm to our Huainan, but also the people of Xuzhou were also deeply affected, so in order to make up for our losses, General Liu must show some sincerity in whatever he says, Brother Xu, am I talking about it?." ”
After experiencing the previous lesson, Xu Tan no longer dared to talk nonsense, but just nodded in agreement.
Yuan Jiang was silent for a while, and then said: "This Huai'an, Guangling and other places are already our territory, this is an indisputable fact, so this is not our bargaining chip." ”
Xu Tan nodded yes, hearing Yuan Jiang talk about the conditions directly, his expression was inevitably a little nervous, Yuan Jiang glanced at him, and continued: "Brother Xu, don't be so nervous, don't worry, this son will not open his mouth widely, to say something unpleasant, your place in Xuzhou, this son is still not eye-catching." ”
Xu Tan smiled awkwardly, although Yuan Jiang spoke in a very unpolite tone, but I have to say that what he said was reasonable, and Xu Tan had no reason and did not dare to refute.
Yuan Jiang smiled mysteriously, "Actually, what this son cares about is General Liu's identity. ”
Xu Tan asked suspiciously, "What identity?" ”
"Don't you know that General Liu is a descendant of the royal family? After King Jing of Zhongshan, that is the emperor's uncle of today's saint. ”
Xu Tan shook his head, "Hehe, Gongzi said that he laughed, although General Liu is also surnamed 'Liu', but he is already a declining nobleman, how dare he call the emperor's imperial uncle?" ”
Yuan Jiang said with a smile: "This matter is a certainty, as long as General Liu is lucky enough to meet the Son of Heaven, then the name of this imperial uncle can still be confirmed." ”
"Hehe, then I'll thank Yuan Gongzi for General Liu here."
Yuan Jiang waved his hand, "I remember asking General Mi Fang to bring a message to General Liu before, I don't know if Brother Xu knows about this?" ”
Xu Tan thought for a moment and nodded vigorously, "I have heard General Mi mention this matter, but General Liu just laughed at it. After all, now General Liu is very unsatisfactory, he can only be trapped in Xuzhou, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to go to Chang'an, how can he receive any edict, besides, now that the prosperous world is peaceful, how can there be thieves to be punished? ”
"Prosperous and peaceful? Hehe, Brother Xu's joke is a bit big! Yuan Jiang smiled playfully, "This matter of the edict, whether you believe it or not, is a fact, don't look at me with such eyes, it won't take a few years for this prophecy to come true, I hope that General Liu will remember to write my father's name on it." ”
Although Xu Tan felt that Yuan Jiang's words were inexplicable, he still nodded and echoed: "Yuan Gongzi, don't worry, if there is really that day, I think General Liu will definitely not forget to write Yuan Zhoumu's name." ”
"That's good." Yuan Jiang bowed slightly, turned to Liu Ye and said, "Brother Ziyang, the rest will be handed over to you, you and Brother Xu have a good talk, in fact, not only me, but also my father, are very willing to swear an alliance with General Liu, so this matter has to be done for me." ”
Liu Ye smiled and arched his hand: "Don't worry, son, I will definitely live up to my expectations." ”
Yuan Jiang turned his head to Xu Tan again and said, "Brother Xu, I won't accompany you if I have something to do." ”
Xu Tan said: "Childe, you are busy with yours, you don't have to worry about the small ones." (To be continued.) )
