Zhuge Jin is the person in Jiangdong who has the best relationship with Liu Bei's forces except for Lu Su, Lu Su has passed away, and he is the most suitable person to envoy Jingnan at this moment.

Zhuge Jin knew how important the task of going to Jingnan was this time, but he was also extremely worried in his heart, Huo Yi was a new upstart general under the newly rising Liu Bei, although his younger brother served Liu Bei, but for Huo Yi, he didn't know anything about it, but the lord had already ordered, Zhuge Jin had to nod his head and promise.

The next day, Zhuge Jin led hundreds of soldiers and escorted gifts to Huo Yi to Jingnan.

Huo Yi's men and horses were marching extremely fast, the Lukou camp was still surrounded by Huo Yi, Zhu Huan's letter for help had not yet been answered, and the more than 10,000 military horses that had not had time to withdraw were trapped in the Lukou camp by Wang Ping and Gao Jin's more than 30,000 military horses.

The Jiangdong army near Baqiu was also restrained by Pang De and Wang Chong's men and horses, and they could not advance or retreat.

Huo Yi was not in a hurry to attack, in fact, he was also waiting for the envoys of the Jiangdong Army, calculating the time, no matter how slow Jiangdong's reaction was at the moment, the envoys were afraid that they were also on the way, he was sure that the Jiangdong Army would not dare to gamble with himself on the future of Jiangdong, and he was also very clear that he would swallow up nearly fifty or sixty thousand troops and horses in Jiangdong before and after, even Cao Cao, who was strong and strong, couldn't stand it, needless to say, Jiangdong, which had always had few soldiers.

If Jiangdong poured all his troops and horses to attack, it was not that Sun Quan was stupid, then Sun Quan really served Cao Cao, but no one knew Sun Quan better than Huo Yi, and the ambition of this character was no smaller than that of Cao Cao and his own lord, in his previous life, judging from his actions when Guan Yu won the early victory in the battle of Xiangfan, this guy must be a very ambitious guy.

In fact. Huo Yi also guessed correctly, most of Sun Quan's army and horses were gathered in the left side of Hefei, as well as various river defenses, to prevent Cao's army from moving south. And there are a lot of people in Jingzhou. But at this moment, there are only the last 30,000 left, most of which are still trapped in two places by Huo Yi, and the only people and horses that can be rescued are still contained in Guiyang.

Huo Yi's predicament is more than half a month. Finally, he waited for the envoy from Jiangdong, and even this candidate was expected by Huo Yi, Zhuge Jin.

Huo Yi was commanding and dispatching people from all walks of life in Xia Juncheng at the moment, and when Zhuge Jin arrived, Huo Yi did not summon him immediately, but hung it in the hall and gave Zhuge Jin a seat, but Huo Yi hung it on the side for the reason that his business was not finished. On the one hand, he mobilized the military horses and ordered the military horses everywhere to launch a general attack on Lukou and Baqiu in a few days.

Zhuge Jin was very anxious in his heart, but he still tried his best to put on a very calm and calm appearance, and even when Huo Yi ordered to attack Lukou and Baqiu, he still put on a very calm appearance, he knew. Once he panicked, then Huo Yi could probe from under his hands to find out the greatest concession that the Lord of Jiangdong had given him.

Zhuge Jin guessed that although Huo Yi ordered the attack, he would still be afraid of the situation of Sun Cao and the two sides joining forces to attack, and he would inevitably make peace with Jiangdong. The way it looks at the moment is just to make it for yourself to see.

However, Huo Yi didn't seem to think like this, Zhuge Jin stayed in Huo Yi's main hall for several days in a row, Huo Yi didn't say a word about the peace, and the offensive against Lukou and Baqiu had been brazenly launched.

Zhuge Jin was anxious. His task was to negotiate peace with Huo Yi here, ease the tense situation between the two sides, and preserve the integrity of Jiangxia and the integrity of the military horses everywhere as much as possible.

But right under my own nose. Huo Yi had already made a move, and he also knew that once Lukou and Baqiu fell, there would be no barrier south of Jiangxia, and it would be Jingling, the western gateway to Jiangdong, which would also be exposed to the Jingzhou army from both sides. Even Natsuguchi no longer has to defend it.

Zhuge Jin got up: "General Huo, my lord asked me to come and discuss peace matters with the general." ”

Huo Yi hadn't spoken yet, but Liu Xun said coldly: "It's you who say the war, it's you who can't talk about peace, and it's you who openly tear up the alliance. ”

Zhuge Jin's face flushed, yes, the purpose of the Xiangshui Alliance was to Sun Liu join forces to resist Cao, at this time, his own side brazenly launched the station of Jingnan, and tens of thousands of troops and horses attacked Jingnan strongly, but they were defeated by the weak Huo Yi Department in one fell swoop, which may be due to the imbalance of the command of the Jiangdong generals, but in the end it was still defeated.

Zhuge Jin was annoyed, the defeated side, and his own side still took the initiative to attack, or when the two sides had a clear covenant, the move of tearing up the covenant really made him fall into passivity.

But Zhuge Jin has already thought of a countermeasure, which is also authorized by Sun Quan, Zhuge Jin said slowly: "General Huo, in the past, our army's attack on Jingnan was Lu Ziming's own initiative, and he launched a military horse to attack Jingnan, here, I only express my sincere apologies to the Jingnan army on behalf of my lord, and Lu Ziming died of illness, and most of the soldiers and horses attacking Jingnan will be damaged, and our army has already paid the price, I hope the general will not care about the past." ”

Huo Yi laughed: "In my opinion, the people of Jiangdong have never seen the situation clearly, and the Cao army in the north has been recuperating and recuperating, just to cultivate their strength, and wait until our two sides exhaust each other's troops, and then protrude in dormancy, swallowing up the forces of both of us in one fell swoop, why are you so incomprehensible?" ”

Zhuge Jin just nodded, and said in a deep voice: "As General Huo said, there are many people in our army who advocate uniting with you and attacking Cao Cao, but in the end, some generals are short-sighted and only care about their immediate interests, and when they saw General Guan attacking Jingxiang and doing such a foolish thing, the lord was also very annoyed!" ”

Huo Yi laughed in his heart, it was nothing more than that Lu Meng was dead, and there was no proof of death, so you threw all the black cauldron to him to resist, in fact, what kind of virtue is the lord of your family, Huo Yi is very familiar with it.

Huo Yi doesn't break it, everyone has to have some face, right? Huo Yi said slowly: "What kind of conditions your lord proposed, I can tell you." ”

Zhuge Jin saw that things seemed to have taken a turn for the better, so he said slowly: "My lord said that the two armies will maintain the existing occupied places, and Changsha County will be compensated to General Huo as the price of our army's attack on your army, and I will also pay General Huo if I bring a lot of property from Jiangdong!" ”

Huo Yi smiled: "These are the benefits that my family has already obtained, in this battle, our army has lost countless elites, and even food and grass are very short, your army is attacking our army, our army is just governing its people in the way of others, this Changsha County is the territory that our army has worked hard to fight, why did it come to the mouth of your lord, it became the price of your army to pay our army?" Isn't that the funniest thing in the world? ”

Zhuge Jin's face turned pale, this Huo Yi was really like the rumors, unforgiving, and very calm, not for his boasting, but more and more calm. In the past few days, he has not taken the initiative to ask me about my intentions, but has used various means to force myself to speak first. Let others take the initiative, and it should be really cunning and tight.

Zhuge Jin breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "So, what does General Huo think our army should do, and your army is satisfied?" ”

Huo Yi said loudly: "Your army will withdraw from Jingzhou within half a month, including Jiangxia and Guiyang counties, and you must not take a step against our army in the future, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" In addition, during our army's attack on Xiangfan, your army also wanted to send troops to attack the Hefei area. ”

Zhuge Jin's face turned pale when he heard this, this Huo Yi was really too much, he actually wanted to annex Jiangxia and Guiyang, and wanted to occupy the entire territory of Southern Jingzhou, but also wanted our army to reach an alliance with it, and also sent troops to capture Hefei.

Zhuge Jin said slowly: "Is General Huo's condition too much?" ”

Huo Yi stood with his hands in his hands and said loudly: "How to go too far?" If you don't agree, I will take it myself, and when the time comes, your army will lose its troops or lose the city and land, no wonder Huo is ruthless! ”

Zhuge Jin said in a deep voice: "General Huo, is there no room for negotiation here?" ”

Huo Yi said coldly: "When you were waiting to attack my Jingnan, you could discuss it with our army?" ”

Zhuge Jin said: "It's not a secret, my lord only promised to draw Guiyang, as for Jiangxia, it's really difficult to agree!" ”

Huo Yi got up slowly: "In this way, there is no need to say more, General Ziyu can return to Jiangdong as soon as possible, Jiangxia will not give it, and our army will take it by itself!" ”
