The sixth year of the Warring States period, April 2.

The climate in the north has begun to warm up continuously, spring is strong, and everywhere is full of vitality, even Jizhou, which has suffered serious economic damage, has recovered a trace of popularity.

Yecheng.

Palace.

On this day, Cao Cao, the king of Wei, was in a very good mood, and he smiled a little toothless: "Hahaha, he Sun Zhongmou burned Lone's grain and grass with a fire, and now he doesn't want to send it back to Gu in person, Gu really wants to see Sun Zhongmou's face now!" ”

Zhuojun raiders, Wei State can be regarded as saving a trace of face.

Wu Guo's initiative to negotiate gave Wei the upper hand, and this time in the negotiation, Wu Guo seemed much weaker, after all, tens of thousands of soldiers were held by Wei State, and he was not convinced.

In Cao Cao's heart, Sun Quan can be regarded as a person who can afford to let go.

The final result of the negotiations was very satisfactory to Cao Cao, and Wu redeemed the soldiers of the two divisions besieged in Yicheng at the cost of 100,000 stone of grain.

100,000 stone of grain, this is absolutely the price of a lion's big mouth in the Wei State.

But Wu Guo didn't have the slightest intention of bargaining, and directly agreed in one breath, which was a bit unexpected.

Maybe in Jizhou at the beginning, they burned nearly 100,000 stone of grain in Wei in one go, and now people want to return this amount, and it is natural that the news came back to Jinling City, and Sun Quan directly allowed it through gritted teeth.

"Great King, Wu Guo's movements are faster than we imagined, and yesterday afternoon, 100,000 stones of grain have entered Shouchun City!" Xun Yu bowed and said: "Should our Wei State also show sincerity now, and shouldn't the north collect troops?" ”

"Hmm!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Immediately send an order to Zhang Liao." Withdraw the troops from Zhuojun, let go of Yicheng, return to the Bingjie Bridge, let him and Zhicai come back, as for the north, hand over the soldiers and horses to Yu Ban to defend. Next, it's time for our focus to be on Guanzhong! ”

"No!"

A personal guard took Cao Cao's order, rushed eight hundred miles, and immediately went north.

"Father, the son thinks that this negotiation of the Wu State is a bit too weak!" Cao Ang suddenly bowed his hand.

"Wen Ruo, why did Sun Zhongmou admit it so easily this time?"

After the excitement, Cao Cao heard Cao Ang's words, and he was also a little puzzled in his heart. He looked at Xun Yu and asked a little puzzled: "Lone believes that Sun Zhongmou also understands the current situation in his heart, Lone has no intention of fighting with him, he can't not feel it, so even if the matter of Zhuojun drags on, in the end, he will not be able to suppress our price, after all, he has bowed his head." Lonely is not too much! ”

Cao Cao's heart didn't expect it to be so smooth, but Sun Quan didn't have the slightest intention of bargaining. Clearly unexpected to him.

If something goes wrong, there must be something strange!

"My lord, this is indeed something abnormal!"

Xun Yu frowned slightly, turned his head, glanced at Zhong Xuan, who was Taichangqing beside him, and said, "Zhong Taichang." Could it be that Sun Kuang and Hongzhi's lack of negotiation experience made you rude to the persecuted negotiations, so that they agreed to our Wei State's conditions so early! ”

This time, it was Zhong Xuan who negotiated in person, and only he knew the situation best.

"Not really!" Zhong Xuan shook his head.

"Zhong Qing, you and Gu talk about it. How does it feel to negotiate this time? ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment, and then asked.

"Back to the king, this time in the negotiation, Weichen feels that they seem to be more impatient than us!"

Zhong Xuan bowed his hand to Cao Cao, and then said carefully: "As a negotiation envoy, Sun Kuang is indeed a little young and vigorous, but as a negotiation companion to the envoy, this person is very old and spicy, and he advances and retreats to a certain extent, and it doesn't seem like a negotiation failure!" ”

"That's a little weird!"

Cao Cao sneered, his eyes flashing with a faint and cold glow: "With Gu's understanding of Sun Zhongmou, he doesn't look like a person who doesn't fight back after suffering a loss!" ”

Sun Zhongmou, he had studied it more than once, since the ambush in the East China Sea began, he had been watching this young man for many years.

This is definitely not a person who knocks out his teeth and swallows blood.

"Report!"

At this time, outside the main hall, a loud voice sounded: "Report to the king, Zang Ba, the general of Langxie County, eight hundred miles to rush to report!" ”

"Bring it in now!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and hurriedly drank loudly.

"No!"

This herald was a little dusty, and his armor was full of bad deeds, he strode in, raised the book above his head with both hands, and said: "The captain of the scout battalion under General Zang Ba, Chen Bing, Cheng Cheng is the general's handwritten book!" ”

Cao Ang stepped forward, personally took the book from the herald's hand, and then respectfully handed it to his father, Cao Cao.

"What? In just one day, all the thirteen cities in Langxi County were lost? ”

Cao Cao took the battle report, in front of the ministers, spread it out directly, took a closer look, and suddenly his face was blue, his eyes burst with a touch of anger, he couldn't help but stand up and slammed the book on the ground: "Waste, it's all a bunch of useless things, what's the use of being alone!" ”

When all the ministers heard this, they were all a little shocked, and knelt down one after another, Xun Yu hurriedly picked up the book that was thrown to the ground by Cao Cao, looked at it carefully, and then couldn't help but read it word by word.

"On March 31, in the evening, when the two fleets of the Wu army and navy landed in Langxi County, the two divisions of Donghai County suddenly went north, nearly 50,000 elite soldiers, flanked from the north and south, and the main general He Qi took the lead and drove straight in, at the right time, Juxian, Kaiyang, Dong'an, Yangdu, Dongguan, the county commanders of the five counties rebelled, and the county soldiers from all over the country turned against each other...... The last general was incompetent, defeated and retreated, the battle lasted for a day, and the battle lost 3,000 soldiers, in desperation, the last general had to lead his troops, withdraw from Langxi County, return to Taishan County, and garrison Fenggao...... The last general is not good for guarding Langxie County, please ask the king to surrender, and the general of Zhendong Zang Ba will write a book! ”

This is a petition for guilt, and the petition is for General Zang Ba, who guards Lang Evil.

Since Zang Ba surrendered to the Wei State, he has been relied on by Cao Cao, leading tens of thousands of troops, guarding the Lang Evil and guarding against the Wu State, all these years. He had also fought with Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang and others, and he had a degree of advance and retreat, but he didn't expect to be caught off guard by He Qi of the Donghai camp of Wu State this time, and in less than a day, Lang Xie had already been lost.

"In just one day, Wu Jun was able to take away the Lang Evil? Good horror speed. This He Qi should not be underestimated! ”

"What does Wu Guo mean by this?"

"Do you want a decisive battle?"

"Then why did you negotiate before and give us 100,000 stone of grain and grass?"

“……”

Some of the people in the hall couldn't help but cry out.

They never thought that Wu State would actually seize Langxie County strongly at this time, and the friction in the north had just subsided, so would the two countries want to fight again?

One by one, they all looked a little ugly, and no one wanted to start a war with Wu at this time, after all. Now Wei is not ready.

"Sun Zhongmou, it turns out that you are calculating the lonely Langxie County, no wonder he wanted to end the negotiations so hurriedly before, and after waiting for the dust to fall, he would give the lonely counterattack a blow, and it was really Sun Zhongmou who couldn't suffer at all!"

Cao Cao clenched his fists, punched the bookcase, and shouted through gritted teeth.

He kind of got it.

After the negotiations. Wu Jun is taking down Lang Evil, like this. Even if he wants to turn his face, I'm afraid he can't find a reason to turn his face.

"King, we have just issued an order to let Yi County go in the north, and now it is too late to take back the order!" A minister stood up and said, "Wu Guo has gone back on his word. We don't need to be polite to him, just pick up 20,000 soldiers and exchange them for Lang Evil! ”

"Hmph, that's right!"

Cao Cao snorted coldly, and his anger rushed into the sky. Gritting his teeth, he said: "His tens of thousands of soldiers are still in Lone's hands, since he gave Lone a hand of yellow finches behind, Lone will give him a backlash!" ”

"Your Majesty, you must not!"

Xun Yu hurriedly stood up and arched his hand: "Now that the peace talks between the two countries have been signed, and the 100,000 stone grain of Wu has also entered Shouchun City, if we go back on our word, wouldn't it make the world laugh, and this will really trigger a decisive battle between the two countries!" ”

"Fight is war, why be afraid of him!"

Cao Cao said angrily: "At this juncture, he dares to take away the evil of Lone, isn't he just forcing Lone to fight with him?" ”

"Think twice!" Zhong Xuanxun and all the ministers stood up and persuaded him.

Xun You looked at Cao Cao and said softly: "Great King, the loss of Lang evil is unexpected, and it is reasonable, the formation of a navy by Wei will inevitably touch the bottom line of Wu State, and the sea area is still the foundation of Wu State, how can he let us successfully form a navy, and they can better monitor Qingzhou!" ”

"Could it be that Lone is so lost in Langxie County for nothing?"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth.

"Father, losing Lang evil is our own incompetence!"

Cao Ang stood up at this time and arched his hand: "Wu Guo got Lang Evil, only one day, so quickly, obviously has been preparing for a long time, and we have not been aware of Lang Evil, Lang Evil Thirteen counties, there are actually five counties against the water, this will let them succeed, why should we settle accounts with them, now He Qi has sat firmly on Lang Evil, both sides have been on guard, the East China Sea camp can have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, fight, even if we fight back Lang Evil, it is only a protracted war, the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

"Zang Ba!"

Cao Cao's eyes had a touch of coldness, he had always given Zang Ba a heavy responsibility, but he didn't expect that at this juncture, Zang Ba would be so useless: "What a Zang Xuangao, he disappointed Gu too much!" ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid we can only take a step back a little now!"

Xun Yu's brows condensed into a Sichuan character, and he said in a low voice: "Langxie County is lost, with the character of King Wu, how can Wu Guo spit it out, and the increase of troops is just to expand the battle." ”

"But I'm not reconciled!"

Cao Cao held back his anger and said in a low voice: "It was not easy for Gu to gain the upper hand, but let him Sun Zhongmou be so stubbornly smoothed, and he was unwilling!" ”

"King, Lang evil and Guanzhong, which is more important, you should understand!" Xun Yu took a step forward and whispered in his ear.

"Guanzhong?"

Cao Cao was shocked in his heart and quickly calmed down.

That's right, the most important thing now is not Langxie, it's Guanzhong.

The plot is imminent, but Jizhou is unstable, if he is entangled in the Lang evil problem, Wu Guo can fight with him, but he will inevitably delay time greatly.

"It's really a calculating Sun Zhongmou, the 100,000 stone grain he gave to Gu seems to be to buy Gu's Lang Evil!"

Cao Cao sighed, Sun Quan had calculated things so well, he would definitely not give him a chance.

This one loss, if he wants to eat it hard, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

"King, there are comings and goings, and it's time for Wei to send an envoy to Jinling City!" Zhong Xuan stood up appropriately and advised: "This matter can't be solved with soldiers, it needs to be discussed!" ”

"Herald!"

Cao Cao said with some weakness: "Order Cao Pi, the second prince of Wei, to be the envoy of Wei, and send the envoy to Jinling City of Wu on behalf of Gu!" ”

The matter of Langxie County is destined to be a dispute between the two sides, and it is impossible to get it back, at most it is just to get back some of the price.

"King, what about General Zangba?" A military general asked in a low voice.

"Let him arrange Taishan's defense, and then come back to Yecheng immediately!" Cao Cao said coldly: "Lone wants him to give Lone an explanation in person!" ”

"No!"

The general quickly went down and gave the order.

Cao Cao stood up, his eyes were cold, and he punched the bookcase: "Sun Zhongmou, Lone let you calculate again, this time Lone endured, and after Lone won Guanzhong, he will fight to the death." (To be continued......)
