In ancient times, waterways were somewhat faster than land. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After all, horses are not cars, nor are they trains, and they cannot be operated non-stop. In general, many horses will die along the way, but the war horses in Jiangdong are too scarce. In addition, the land route has relatively high requirements for people's riding skills, and most Jiangdong people will choose the water route as long as they travel, unless they are forced to do so.

Lu Su got out of the mouth of the wet beard and went up the river, and with the efforts of the boatmen, he only took eight days to rush to Jiangling! After rewarding the boatmen, he went straight to Sun Ce's military camp. The people in the army, who didn't know Lu Junshi, so he entered the Chinese army's tent without any hindrance. At this time, Sun Ce and Pang Tong were drinking in the big tent of the Chinese army, and they were not surprised when they saw him.

"Zijing, we've been waiting for you for two days, why did you come?" Sun Ce raised his glass and said, "Sit down quickly and have a drink with me!" ”

"Lord...", he took the wine glass blankly, Lu Su's heart suddenly felt a little sour, is the person in front of him still Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong? In the past, the little overlord of Jiangdong was brave and sharp, how high-spirited, but now Sun Ce is decadent! Sun Ce, who was in his thirties, had gray hair on both sideburns, and many wrinkles were squeezed out of his haggard face, just like a person in his fifties. If he appeared with Sun Quan, outsiders would mistakenly think that he was Sun Quan's elder!

"Isn't even Zijing willing to drink with me?" Seeing that Lu Su was stunned there for a long time, Sun Ce shook his head with a wry smile and let out a long sigh!

"Of course not!" Drinking all the wine in the cup, Lu Su wiped the corners of his eyes and smiled: "It is an honor to be able to drink with the lord!" ”

"Zijing, Cao Jun is here!" After pouring another glass of wine for Lu Su, Sun Ce asked with a smile: "Has my second brother already agreed to negotiate peace, but let you convince me?" ”

"This..."Looking at Pang Tongyi's eyes, Lu Su smiled bitterly: "It seems that Shiyuan has already guessed, so I won't say more, and ask the lord to make a decision as soon as possible!" ”

"Nope! I want to hear from you! Sun Ce held the wine glass and said, "I want to know how my good second brother wants to join forces with the enemy who killed his father, and how he wants to persuade his own brother to give up the revenge of killing his father!" ”

"It's... Seeing Sun Ce's hideous face, Lu Su sighed and carefully explained what happened in the big tent. Sun Ce didn't interject half a sentence, but just listened very calmly until Lu Su finished speaking!

After a while, Sun Ce suddenly laughed and said, "Okay! is worthy of being my good second brother, and worthy of being the unicorn of the Sun family! With him here, I'm relieved, this Jiangdong can also be handed over to him! ”

"My lord, what do you mean by that?" Seeing the decadence on Sun Ce's face, Lu Su was a little surprised. He knew that Sun Ce valued love and righteousness, and it was impossible to compromise like this, but Sun Ce's performance was too abnormal!

"What do you mean?" Sun Ce said with a smile; "What I mean is what the second brother means, Zijing can understand?"

"The lord agrees to make peace with Cao Ying?" Lu Su's eyes widened, looking incredulous. He thought that this task was very difficult, but he didn't expect it to be completed so easily!

"The second brother is already the lord of Jiangdong, how can I not listen to his orders? Zijing, please go back and tell the second brother that I agree to the peace talks, but the five counties of Jingbei must be accepted by me! Sun Ce made a very simple request, so simple that it was impossible to refuse.

Lu Su looked at Pang Tong's eyes, wanting to guess his plan with Sun Ce! It's a pity that with Lu Su's wisdom, he can't guess Pang Tong's mind! However, since Sun Ce agreed to the peace talks, Lu Su's task was completed, and he left the Jiangling camp non-stop and rushed to the mouth of the water!

"Shi Yuan, is your idea feasible?" After Lu Su left, Sun Ce looked at Pang Tong with a hesitant face, as if he was a little worried.

"Of course!" Pang Tongtong didn't speak, but at this time he picked up his wine glass and said with a smile on his face: "The lord has not rested for a few days, and the decadence on his face has already made Zijing believe, when he goes back to tell the second son, the second son will not doubt the lord, and our plan will definitely succeed!" ”

"I hope so!" Sun Ce smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I would use strategy against my own brother, and I was really a failure!" ”

"This is the righteousness of the Lord!" Pang Tong said with a smile: "If you compete with the second son, with your status in the army and the eldest son, the second son has no chance of winning at all!" But you are willing to give up the position of the lord of Jiangdong for the sake of family affection, and you actually admire it in your heart! ”

"Alas..."Sun Ce sighed and said, "It's all come to this point, what's the use of you praising me?" I hope the second brother still has some conscience, don't let me down too much! ”

"The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, the lord or don't report too much hope!" Pang Tong poured a sip of wine, but poured a basin of cold water on Sun Ce's head!

"You! I wonder if it's the reincarnation of a crow spirit, born with a crow's mouth! Shaking his head helplessly, Sun Ce began to grab wine with Pang Tong. But in order to pretend to be haggard, he has not rested for several days. I didn't drink for a while, and I was even drunk and tired, and I fell asleep on the ground! Pang Tong ordered someone to send him back to the tent to rest, but he continued to pour himself a drink in the big tent!

Going to Jiangling was against the current, but returning to Huishukou was downstream, and Lu Su only took five days to return to Sun Quan's army. Hearing that Sun Ce also agreed to negotiate peace, not to mention Sun Quan, even Han Dang and Jiang Qin were a little surprised, but Lu Meng felt a little worried. However, although Lu Meng felt that something was wrong, he couldn't see the problem. So, Sun Quan happily agreed to Sun Ce's request.

After getting Sun Ce's reply, Sun Quan immediately replied to Jian Yong, and Jian Yong also rushed back to Shouchun non-stop and reported the good news to Cao Ying. Although he was a little distressed, since Zhang Yun surrendered to Sun Ce, Cao Jun's power in Jingzhou was not as strong as before. As the saying goes: those who eat chicken ribs have no meat to eat, and they have a taste when they are discarded. With a piece of meat and bone in exchange for an ally and worry-free, Cao Ying is not a loss.

After drawing up the terms of the peace agreement, Jian Yong made a few more trips. Soon, Cao Ying and Sun Quan signed an offensive and defensive agreement, and Cao Ying also sent Jiang Ji to preside over the surrender of Jingbei. Speaking of which, Cao Ying is much more generous than Liu Bei. Thinking about history, Liu Bei clearly said that he would give up the three counties of Jingnan to Sun Quan, but let Guan Yu get in the way, but Cao Ying was very bold in giving up the rich land of Jingbei. The comparison between the two shows Cao Ying's open-mindedness!

When Jiang Ji arrived in Xiangyang, he first ordered Cao Ren to withdraw from Nanjun, and then ordered Wei Yan, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou to withdraw from Jiangling, and let Yan Liang and Wen Chou go first, and Wei Yan broke off. Of course, this is just the most conventional defense, not that you don't trust the Jiangdong Army. However, this defense was done right!

"Lord, the Cao army has withdrawn from Jiangling, let us lead our troops to take over, and say that Cao Ren and Jiangxia Wenpin of Nanjun have also retreated!" A small colonel wearing a Jiangdong military uniform rushed to Sun Ce's side and reported to him the movements of Cao's army.

"Why didn't Cao's army all retreat?" Looking into the distance, he saw a Cao army still patrolling near Jiangling, and Sun Ce felt a little strange!

The junior colonel said: "Lord Qiqi, that is the army of Cao Jun after the break!" ”

"After the break? It seems that Cao Ying doesn't trust us! Sun Ce smiled and asked, "Who is the general after the break?" ”

The little colonel said: "The other party's banner is Yangwei General Wei, it should be Wei Yan!" ”

"What? Wei Yan?! Sun Ce was overjoyed and said: "God help me, it seems that I am destined to take revenge!" ”

"What do you mean, lord?" Everyone looked at Sun Ce, their eyes full of incomprehension.

"What do you mean?" Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "Wei Yan and Xu Chu killed my father, so I naturally want to avenge my father!" I originally wanted to give Cao Ying a ruthless blow after annexing Jingzhou. Now, it happens to be after Wei Yan is broken, isn't God helping me? ”

"My lord, our army has already negotiated peace with Cao Jun, wouldn't it be treacherous for you to do this... Ah..."A civil official stupidly jumped out to admonish, and Sun Ce returned with a knife and cut off his head!

"Who else wants to admonish?" Sun Ce said angrily: "The father's hatred is not the same as the sky, and now the enemy is in front of me, if I am indifferent, how can I be the son of man?" Negotiation of peace is the second brother's business, what does it have to do with me? Whoever dares to persuade again, he will be the end! ”

"We will obey the orders of the Lord!" The generals immediately bowed and saluted, in fact, even if Sun Ce did not threaten them, they would not persuade them again. Most of the Jiangdong generals were promoted by Sun Ce and Sun Jian, how could they disobey Sun Ce's orders?

"Good!" Sun Ce said with a smile: "Let's kill it today, and I will fight other things!" Pang Tong, you take Ling Ying and Ling Tong to lead a group to intercept the enemy's reinforcements. Chen Wu, Dong Xi, He Qi, Zhu Zhi, follow me to attack Wei Yan! ”

"The last general obeys!" The people who were named by Sun Ce bowed down to receive the order, and only Zhang Yun had no task in the big tent.

"Lord, what am I doing?" As a general, he was unwilling to sit on the cold bench, so Zhang Yun hurriedly stood up and asked for his life.

"General Zhang, can I trust you?" Sun Ce looked at Zhang Yun with blazing eyes!

"The lord treats me like a mountain, no less than Liu Biao, I will swear allegiance to the death!" Zhang Yun was half-kneeling on the ground, his face full of determination.

"Good!" Sun Ce said with a smile: "I order you to take over Jingbei and try to leave the Jingzhou guards behind." As long as they are willing to be used by me, I will live up to them! ”

"The last general obeys!" Zhang Yun was very happy to receive the military order, and it can be said that this task is the most suitable for him.

You must know that Zhang Yun is attached to Cai Mao, and his prestige in Jingzhou is not low. More importantly, he is the son of the late Taiwei Zhang Wen, and his mother is the sister of Cai Wei, who in turn is Cai Mao's father, that is, Zhang Yun is Cai Mao's cousin and is also related to Liu Biao. It is up to him to come forward to persuade the generals of Jingzhou, even if it fails, the other party will give him three points of face!

The arrangement was decided, the Jiangdong army poured out, and Sun Ce did not enter Jiangling at all, but went directly to chase the Cao army. Wei Yan was leading the army to break off, and suddenly received a report from the scout that the Jiangdong army had arrived, and he immediately stopped the army, wanting to see why the Jiangdong army came, but he saw his old enemy Sun Ce. At that moment, Wei Yan knew Sun Ce's purpose, and he immediately sent someone to report to Jiang Ji and led his troops to prepare for battle!
