Chapter 215: Wang Chong's Bottom Limit
"Lord, when I came in just now, I happened to see Cheng Yuan sending that Xie into the inner courtyard!"
Looking at Wang Chong, who looked very embarrassed, Liu Ye sighed and said: "Lord, the surrender of the Xie family is a wonderful foreshadowing for us to seize Jiangdong in the future, but now that the lord has accepted the Xie family, it has greatly increased the possibility of this dark chess piece being exposed, or ...... The lord really wants to swallow the entire Jiangdong in one go? ”
“…… Ziyang, don't disturb, things are not as serious as you think! Wang Chong scratched his scalp and said with a dry smile, "Dare to ask Ziyang, why has Zhou Yu been standing still in Danyang County these days?" ”
Liu Ye thought for a while and replied: "First, there are not many elites left in Jiangdong, and they can no longer withstand large-scale casualties, so unless they are completely sure to defeat us, they will definitely not dare to act rashly; What are you going to ...... Presumably waiting for Sun Quan's decision, right? I want to see if this battle is going to be fought or not! ”
"What choice does Ziyang think Sun Quan will make?"
Liu Ye sneered: "Sun Quan is not Sun Ce, he can't take out the courage of Sun Ce, so in my opinion, Sun Quan will ask me for peace nine times out of ten!" ”
Wang Chong nodded and said with a faint smile: "Although it is a peace, there should always be a psychological limit, right?" ”
Liu Ye faintly understood what Wang Chong meant: "My Jinfan's purpose is to take all Danyang, but the five counties of Hushu, Jurong, Jiangcheng, Guyan, and Yuqian are too close to Wu County, and Sun Quan will not cede them anyway, but if the Shanyin family suddenly raises troops and rebels at this time, and in a panic, Sun Quan, who is eager to quell this war, will inevitably lower his psychological bottom line appropriately!" ”
Wang Chong said: "It's not realistic to be in Danyang, and forcing too much may make Sun Quangou jump off the wall in a hurry, but because of Yu Qian's two counties, I Jinfan must have at least one of them, which is also my psychological limit!" ”
Liu Ye nodded thoughtfully: "The lord's words are reasonable, but in this way, we have to relinquish Shanyin." If the Sanyin family knew in advance, they might not be willing to cooperate with my Jinfan! ”
Wang Chong blinked, and said with a sly smile: "So this matter must be kept secret for the time being, and wait until the Shanyin family officially takes action." Even if they want to, it's already too late! ”
Liu Ye was a little crying and laughing when he heard this, Wang Chong's hand was really too pitiful, once these Shanyin families raised troops to rebel, how could Sun Quan tolerate them anymore? Then when the time comes, in order to prevent Sun Quan's persecution. They can only move their families out of Shanyin and move to Jinfan's territory, so wouldn't they lose their wives and soldiers?
Wang Chong shrugged his shoulders and said: "Shanyin, I Jinfan will take it sooner or later, it's not like they can't go back to their hometown for the rest of their lives, and my Jinfan will also give them some compensation appropriately, I guess they won't complain about me, right?" ”
Liu Ye rolled his eyes and complained secretly: "It's strange if you don't complain!" ”
At this time, Ding Feng walked in from outside and reported: "Lord." Koto is coming! ”
"Oh?" Wang Chong raised his eyebrows, glanced at Liu Ye meaningfully, and asked Ding Fengdao, "Do you know who is coming?" ”
Ding Feng replied: "The person who came claimed to be engaged in Zhang Hong's account under the account of the general who was captured!" ”
After Sun Ce's death, Cao Cao gave Sun Quan an official position granted by the imperial court, and it was not long before Zhang Hong returned to Wu County from Xu Du with this letter of appointment, and at that time, Cao Cao also made Zhang Hong the eastern governor, but Zhang Hong was loyal to Sun. Although others would respectfully call him 'Dongfang', he only recognized his position in Soochow.
Liu Ye smiled and said: "Lord, Zhang Hong must come for peace today!" ”
Wang Chong said: "Ziyang." I don't plan to meet Zhang Hong, and I will leave the matter of negotiation with Jiangdong to you! ”
Liu Ye looked embarrassed: "This ...... Lord, isn't this going to be a little ......?"
"Something? Is it rude? Wang Chong said indifferently, "Now it is Sun Quan who is begging us, not us begging him." What's the point of being arrogant? If he feels angry, he can fight to the death with our Jinfan! ”
"This ...... All right! Liu Ye said helplessly, "Please also ask the lord to give a bottom limit, so that I can use this as a basis to negotiate with Zhang Hong!" ”
Wang Chong thought for a while and said, "First, let Sun Quan send Chen Wu and Dong Xi's families to Shicheng safely; Second, there are now more than 10,000 Jiangdong soldiers who have defected to my Jinfan, and the families of these soldiers are also owned by me Jinfan; Third, my Jinfan suffered heavy casualties in this battle, Sun Quan must compensate, and the gold must not be less than 10,000 taels, as for the grain and grass...... Almost 100,000 stone is enough, and if you can't get it together, you can also exchange it for pig iron; Fourth, that is the issue of the ownership of Danyang County, I have just mentioned this matter, presumably Ziyang is also clear, right? ”
Liu Ye carefully kept Wang Chong's request in mind and responded: "No! ”
Wang Chong said: "This negotiation will inevitably be impossible to negotiate in a short period of time, Ziyang might as well keep dragging it out, don't expose our bottom limit too early, maybe when my brother wins Yu Qian, the army will force Wu Jun, we may be able to get more!" ”
Liu Ye got up and said goodbye: "Don't worry, my lord, Liu Ye can save it!" ”
After that, he went to the hall to receive Zhang Hong.
Entering the hall, seeing Zhang Hong, whose face was full of wrinkles but calm and calm, exuding an elegant and heroic atmosphere, Liu Ye immediately saluted and said: "Student Liu Ye, I have seen Mr. Zigang!" ”
Zhang Hong is nearly 50 years old, and he is already a well-known scholar in the world, and Liu Ye, who is more than 20 years younger than him, naturally has to carry out the gift of a student when he sees him.
Zhang Hong felt very uncomfortable, because Liu Ye was here, which meant that Wang Chong did not intend to meet him, and such a rude move was clearly to give them Jiangdong a dismissal.
However, Zhang Hong's cultivation was very good, and he didn't show it, but smiled at Liu Ye and said: "Ziyang, I haven't seen you for many years, I never thought that you had done such a big thing under General Zhengdong!" ”
Liu Ye said respectfully: "Mr. Quan taught back then! ”
Liu Ye's words are not entirely complimentary, when he went out to study when he was young, he went to Jiangdu to visit Zhang Hong, who had not yet come out of Sun Ce, Zhang Hong was very easy-going, and he answered all questions, which benefited Liu Ye a lot at the beginning, and since then, Liu Ye has always respected Zhang Hong in his heart, which is why Wang Chong just asked him to negotiate with Zhang Hong, he was slightly embarrassed.
However, Liu Ye is now a Jinfan strategist, so he naturally has to do his best to benefit Jinfan, the friendship with Zhang Hong is a private matter, and the negotiation is a public matter, public is public, private is private, these six words, Liu Ye still knows clearly. (To be continued.) )
