Chapter 176: Negotiation
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Lu Meng was already sweating, and his steps were sinking like lead, and there were less than 100 Jiangdong troops left who could still follow him, but he was still urging to speed up the march, and Lu Meng had only one belief, even if he knew that he was dead, he would rush to Qiaojiawu as soon as possible.
Because, only when reinforcements appear outside Qiaojiawu can the defenders be given hope.
"Quick, speed up, go full speed, whirring ......" Lu Meng urged, and suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in front of him.
Enemy? Lu Meng's expression was dazed, and he immediately ordered: "Form a formation, the whole army will form a formation, and prepare to meet the enemy......"
However, the remaining nearly 100 Jiangdong troops under Lu Meng were so tired that they couldn't stand in line.
Before the Jiangdong Army formed an infantry defensive formation, a defeated army appeared on the rugged mountain road ahead, and it was really a defeated army, about 100 people, who were rushing towards this side in a chaotic manner.
Although he didn't look at the Yijing flag, Lu Meng still recognized it at a glance that it was the Jiangdong Army.
Seeing Lu Meng's department, the other party was also startled at first, but after seeing it clearly, he was overjoyed, and quickly quickened his pace and flocked over.
When he got closer, Lu Meng saw Sun Yu in the chaos at a glance.
"Childe?" Seeing Sun Yu, Lu Meng's heart suddenly had a bad premonition, and he asked urgently, "Where is the main public security?" β
"Ziming, Ziming!" After Sun Yu saw Lu Meng, he cried loudly, crying really heartbroken.
Although Lu Meng's heart was burning, he could only patiently comfort Sun Yu, and after a long time, Sun Yu finally stopped his sadness.
Lu Meng asked again: "Son, where is the lord today?" β
"It's over, it's all over, it's all over." Sun Yu lamented, "Brother, he is trapped in Qiaojiawu." β
"What did you say?" When Lu Meng heard this, three black lines immediately floated on his forehead, and he stared at Sun Yu.
If it weren't for the fact that Sun Yu was the lord's younger brother, Lu Meng really wanted to kill him with a knife, Ni Mei, the lord was trapped in Qiaojiawu, but you ran out with someone, how could it be reasonable, how could it be reasonable!
"You can't blame me, you can't blame me!" Sun Yu saw the murderous intent in Lu Meng's eyes, and immediately shouted, "I repeatedly persuaded my brother to let him escape as soon as possible, but my brother just didn't listen, he just didn't listen, what can I do?" Moreover, the reason why I didn't fight to the death after my brother fell, but in order to run out and report to the governor, someone has to report to the governor, someone has to report to the governor, right? β
Lu Meng took a deep breath, knowing that Sun Yu's status was noble, even if he wanted to dispose of it, it would never be his turn to deal with it.
However, since the battle of Qiaojiawu has ended, and since the lord has fallen into the hands of the enemy, it is no longer necessary to rush to Qiaojiawu in a hurry, and Lu Meng ordered to rest at the moment.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Yu also arrived with a large army.
Seeing that Lu Meng's troops were stationed in the mountains less than twenty miles away from Qiaojiawu, Zhou Yu immediately knew that something was wrong.
Sure enough, Lu Meng brought Sun Yu to Zhou Yu, and also brought the bad news that Sun Ce was captured by Yuan Jun, and suddenly heard the bad news, but Zhou Yu did not mess up, but kept calm, in essence, Zhou Yu and Yuan Wei are the same kind of people, the more critical the moment, the calmer they tend to be, the more tense the moment, the more calm they tend to be.
Zhou Yu paced a few steps in place and instructed Lu Meng: "Ziming, you go to Juchao and take the second son to Qiaojiawu." β
"Second son?" Lu Meng was stunned when he heard this, of course he knew that the second son Zhou Yu said was Sun Quan, the second brother of the lord.
But Sun Quan is only a fifteen-year-old child, what can he do at this time? It's better to go to Chaisang, the lord's brother Sun Ben is in Chaisang, you can also transfer Chaisang's army nearby, or go back to Danyang County to find Sun He, Sun He is the lord's younger brother, and there are tens of thousands of troops under his command!
Zhou Yu's expression was fierce and he said, "Go quickly!" β
"No!" Seeing that Zhou Yu was angry, Lu Meng hurried to go.
After Lu Meng left, Zhou Yu led more than 10,000 troops and slowly marched in.
Nearly noon, the Jiangdong army drove outside Qiaojiawu Fort, and immediately surrounded it on all sides.
After besieging Wubao, Zhou Yu did not immediately order an attack, nor did he propose to meet with Yuan.
(Dividing Line)
"Zhou Yu is waiting!" Yuan Wei stood on the top floor of the watchtower, pointed to the Jiangdong camp outside and said, "Zhou Yu must be waiting for Sun Quan, Sun Quan is not here, he will never come into contact with us." β
"Sun Quan?" Kuning Ji Ling Xu Sheng was at a loss when he heard this, who is Sun Quan?
Liu Ye had heard of Sun Quan's name and said: "I heard that Sun Ce has a second brother, who was born with a pair of blue eyes and is very smart. β
"Yes, Sun Quan is Sun Ce's second brother." Yuan Wei said, "Zhou Yu is a really smart person, he knows that if he negotiates with us at this time, no matter how he talks, he will suffer a big loss, because we are pinching Sun Ce and pinching their lord, but once Sun Quan rushed to Qiaojiawu Fort, the situation will be different immediately." β
Liu Ye said: "Childe is saying that Zhou Yu will support Sun Quan? β
"That's right." Yuan Wei said, "Zhou Yu will definitely support Sun Quan to take the position, even if Zhou Yu doesn't have this idea in his heart, he will definitely put on such a posture on the surface to weaken the lethality of Sun Ce's trump card in our hands, and this time, we will not be able to put forward the conditions in the follow-up negotiations." β
Liu Ye smiled and said: "Childe, can you listen to it first, what is Childe's bottom line?" β
"The bottom line?" Yuan Wei smiled, "Hehe, I have no bottom line, negotiation, it's nothing more than asking for a sky-high price!" β
(Dividing Line)
Yuan Wei did make a plan to ask for a sky-high price.
Two days later, Sun Quan rushed to Qiaojiawu, and Zhou Yu immediately proposed a meeting.
Yuan Wei readily agreed, and took Gan Ning Ji Ling Xu Sheng out to meet with Zhou Yu.
This time, Zhou Yu didn't bother to stroke the piano, but went straight to the point.
"Give up the three counties of Huainan, Lujiang and Yuzhang." Yuan Wei opened his mouth to ask for three counties, this is not over, and continued, "Plus 500,000 husks of rice, 100,000 catties of refined iron, well, 100 beauties, that's all." β
Listening to Yuan No's quid pro quo, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang, Dong Xi and other Jiangdong generals behind Zhou Yu immediately became angry, excessive, too much, Yuan Nu'er really dared to speak.
Why don't you just let my Jiangdong soldiers recognize you as the master of Yuan'er?
Zhou Yu was also angry, and said lightly: "Our condition is to immediately and unconditionally return Bo Fu, in exchange, we can give up a passage and let you go north to Jizhou!" β
Yuan Wei was stunned when he heard this, he expected that Zhou Yu would bargain on the spot, but he really didn't expect Zhou Yu to be so ruthless.
Unconditionally return Sun Ce? Sister Nun, am I really stupid? Let Sun Ce go, can you let me go?
Yes, people in this era cherish their reputation very much, and they are afraid that they will lose the hearts of the people in the world because of unrighteous deeds, but if you naively think that people in this era will keep their promises, then you are too naΓ―ve, not to mention Zhou Yu, even Liu Bei, a well-known righteous gentleman, has done treacherous and ugly things.
Otherwise, do you really think that Liu Qi died of illness? Whoever believes is a fool.
At that moment, Yuan Fu plucked out his ears and said, "What did you just say, my ears are not good, so I didn't hear clearly." β
Zhou Yu naturally did not flinch because of this, and said: "I said, immediately and unconditionally return Bo Fu, in exchange, we can give up a passage and let you go north to Jizhou." β
Yuan Wei laughed loudly, laughing so much that he cried and communicated, and laughed so much that the Jiangdong generals were confused.
Zhou Yu just looked at Yuan Fu coldly, and when Yuan Fu's laughter stopped, he said: "Yuan No, don't think I'm joking with you, let alone think that you have Bo Fu as a hostage, you can do whatever you want, see clearly, my 20,000 army has surrounded Qiaojiawu Fort, and there are still 50,000 troops coming from Danyang Wuzhong Huiji Starry Night, if you let Bo Fu back, you can still save your life, if you refuse to return it, then suffer death!" β
Yuan Yu's face turned cold, and he said: "Zhou Yu, if you have this attitude, then there is no need to talk about it, I will present Sun Ce's head when I go back, and then the two families will see each other on the battlefield according to their abilities." β
Zhou Yu looked at Yuan Nuo coldly, and said, "Please!" β
"Farewell!" Yuan Fu snorted, turned around and left.
The first negotiation collapsed like this.
