Heard three horns and cannons shook the sky, the suspension bridge at the north gate of Wuchang City was lowered, the city gate was opened, a Jingzhou soldier led by the cavalry, slowly out of the city gate, stepped across the suspension bridge, and came towards the Wu soldiers of the brigade, the team held a trumpet flag, and the flag was embroidered with a big "Deng" word,

When Sun Quan saw it, he thought that Liu Cong's stomach was no longer painful, and he was going to really come out to fight today, so he hurriedly ordered: "Line up, shoot the formation, listen to my orders, and prepare to fight." ”

However, Deng Bao Wang Sheng only led a thousand men and horses over, and he did not stop after coming, and immediately formed a formation, and shot at the corner of the formation when he formed a formation, and there were two generals standing in the middle of the formation, only playing a flag embroidered with the word Deng.

Sun Quan mistakenly thought that there were Jingzhou soldiers coming out from behind, so he immediately stood with a gun and watched.

Who knew that as soon as the Jingzhou soldiers lined up in formation, one of the generals on horseback in the middle shouted, only to hear a loud shout: "Wang Sheng, the general of Jingzhou, was entrusted by my lord Liu Zhizhong to come over and speak to General Wuhou Sun Quan. ”

Sun Quan listened, looked left and right suspiciously, took a step forward, and asked, "Where is Liu Zhizhong?" ”

Wang Sheng continued: "Under Wang Sheng, speaking on behalf of my lord, General Sun can only say if he has something to say, well, Liu Zhizhong is not in good health, and he has not recovered so far, so he really can't come out to see General Sun, and I ask General Sun for forgiveness." ”

Sun Quan listened and thought for a while, and said: "Liu Zhizhong is not in good health, please ask General Wang to greet me after he goes back, and wish Liu Zhizhong a speedy recovery." ”

Wang Sheng replied: "Well, on behalf of Liu Zhizhong, thank you for General Sun's greetings, in fact, the reason why my father-in-law is sick is because of General Sun, and only General Sun can treat my father-in-law." ”

Sun Quan was surprised and asked, "How do you say this, how can your father-in-law complain about me when he is sick." ”

"Yesterday, my lord was going to lead the troops over to fight, but when he saw that General Sun's gossip array could not be broken, he was angry for a while, and his stomach hurt, in fact, he didn't need General Sun's treatment, as long as General Sun surrendered, my lord's body would be cured immediately, and General Sun could intentionally surrender."

When Sun Quan heard this, he immediately replied: "I was about to ask your family Liu Zhizhong, Jingzhou Dongwu, each to make a living, why did you bring troops over to occupy my Wuchang City for no reason, you can go back and understand this with Liu Cong, tell him that as long as he retreats and returns my Wuchang, I Dongwu will not blame the past, and from then on the two families will still reconcile and deal with Cao Cao together." ”

Wang Sheng laughed for a while, didn't follow Sun Quan's words, and then said in his original words: "My lord said, as long as Wu Hou surrenders and hands over the land of Eastern Wu to my lord to manage, we Jingzhou will allow Wu Hou to choose a small island of less than 1,000 square meters to live in the South China Sea, regardless of previous suspicions, and also allow you to bring a woman to serve you and live for a long time, you see how it goes." ”

Sun Quan didn't seem to hear what Wang Sheng said clearly, so he turned his face to look at Ling Tong,

Ling Tong became angry and said hatefully: "My lord, that Liu Cong's envoy said that as long as you surrender, he will spare you from dying, and allow you to choose a small island in the South China Sea to live and live for a long time." ”

Sun Quan didn't think about this at all, so he asked, "Why should I surrender?" ”

Just as he was asking, Wang Sheng sent another message: "My lord said that if you are not willing to surrender, as long as you meet his other demand, he will withdraw his troops immediately." ”

Sun Quan understood this sentence, and then asked: "What conditions does Liu Cong want me to meet?" ”

"Just send her ten Soochow beauties."

When the soldiers heard this indecent remark, they laughed together,

Sun Quan was originally reluctant to fight, and was willing to live a stable and comfortable life.

The war before was also a last resort, and my father was killed by others, which is called the revenge of killing my father, and I don't repay how to establish the world.

Also, Jingzhou's existence and strength threaten its own survival, can it be done without war?

So he launched several wars against Jiangxia,

To tell the truth, in these wars, Sun Quan has not been able to fight much cheaply, except for the loss of troops and generals.

Now the two armies are facing each other, and the Jingzhou soldiers occupy their own border towns, and they have lost more than 10,000 horses.

Also, it turned out that Sun Quan looked down on Liu Cong because he was young and vigorous, and now he was at a disadvantage, so he felt that Liu Cong was indeed capable, and people said that he defeated Cao Cao's three generals in less than three months, which is definitely true.

Thinking of these, Sun Quan had the intention of peace talks, so he sent Lu Su Jiang Gan to envoy Jingzhou to negotiate peace, although it was not successful, but Sun Quan was still willing to use the channel of peace talks to urge Jingzhou to withdraw his troops.

Hearing Wang Sheng say this, the conditions for retiring from the army were so simple, Sun Quan asked: "What do you say, what do you want, beauty." ”

Wang Sheng laughed and replied: "Yes, my lord said that he likes the beauties of Dongwu, but unfortunately he has not gotten them so far, if you can give her ten beauties, he will withdraw immediately." ”

Sun Quan didn't believe it when he heard it, he thought: "Such a condition, there is no need to put it forward on the battlefield, so that the soldiers of the two sides can hear the joke." After thinking for a while, he said: "I didn't expect your lord to have such a Yaxing, in fact, this thing is easy to do, besides, there is no need to move the people in this matter, we will send a few people to discuss in private face to face." ”

Wang Sheng pretended to be surprised and asked: "A few days ago, our lord has already discussed with the envoy named Lu Zijing of your family, as long as Dongwu sends ten beauties, we will withdraw our troops immediately.

Who knew that your envoy was uneasy about diplomatic rules, and when Lu Su and Jiang Gan went to Wuchang City to choose beautiful women, his servant, the servant named Lu Meng, secretly acted in a vain attempt to assassinate my lord.

Later, my lord found out and arrested him, and it stands to reason that he should be beheaded for public display, but for the sake of long-term planning, my lord put him back in Soochow.

When he was leaving, he promised my lord that he would never lead troops against Jingzhou from now on, and he was determined to do his best to unite Eastern Wu and Jingzhou. ”

When Sun Quan heard this, he secretly became angry in his heart, and he also doubted why Liu Cong simply let Lu Meng go, and now seeing this Wang Sheng talking like this, he really believed it in his heart, so he secretly decided that he must clean up Lu Meng after he goes back.

However, cleaning up Lu Meng is a matter of going back, and the current thing is to quickly try to get Jingzhou to withdraw the troops, so Sun Quan asked: "If you meet the conditions proposed by your lord, you will really withdraw the troops." ”

"Of course, how can the exchanges between the two countries be child's play, it seems that my lord has signed a contract with Lu Su on this matter, so you don't have to negotiate, just handle it according to the contract, and after the handling is over, we will withdraw immediately." 106
