The fifth year of Jian'an, June 5.

Zhang Hong returned to Wu County with a heart full of depression.

Entering the Wuhou Mansion, Zhang Hong, who was about to report the content of the negotiations to Sun Quan, found that in addition to Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Hua Xin, Yu Tuo, Gu Yong and other important ministers of Jiangdong in the main hall were also here, and everyone looked solemn and worried.

Zhang Hong suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked cautiously, "Lord, what happened?" ”

Sun Quan took a deep breath and sighed gloomily: "Yu Qian is lost!" ”

"What!?" Zhang Hong's face suddenly changed, "This ...... How is this possible!? ”

Sun Quan said helplessly: "Yu Qian only has 800 guards, the county lieutenant asked the family in the city for help to no avail, when the Gongmiao army is still far away, it is too late to help, he knows that the enemy is not the county lieutenant of the Jinfan army, so he simply opened the city gate with the county magistrate and surrendered Jinfan!" ”

When Zhang Hong heard this, he immediately gritted his teeth and scolded: "These soft bones! ”

Zhang Zhaodao: "Zigang, since everything has happened, it is useless to pursue these at all, after Gan Ning incorporated the private soldiers of the Yu Qian family, the total strength of his hands has reached 20,000, although this army is uneven, mostly a rabble, but with the high morale and absolute superiority in numbers, it is enough to cause great pressure on Yuhang's Gongmiao, and the top priority now is to negotiate with Wang Chong as soon as possible about the boycott of the war, otherwise the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to our Jiangdong!" ”

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Hong with anticipation: "Zigang, how about going to Shicheng to harvest?" ”

Zhang Hong smiled bitterly and said: "The minister is in Shicheng, and he didn't see Wang Chong at all, but he just had a brief conversation with Liu Ye, the Jinfan military master. ”

Sun Quan frowned, and asked, "Have you ever tried to find out one or two from Liu Ziyang?" Jinfan, do you have the will to strike a war with my Jiangdong? ”

Zhang Hong said with a little anger: "Yes, yes, it's just ...... The conditions offered by the other party are really unacceptable! ”

"It's good to have!" Sun Quan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, after all, as long as Jinfan also has the will to strike the war, the conditions, everyone can sit down and talk slowly. There will always be a day when they will talk, he is afraid that Jin Fan will not care about anything, and he will fight them to the end, when the time comes. The first one who can't hold on is definitely their Jiangdong.

Zhang Zhao asked: "Zigang, what conditions did Jinfan offer that made you so indignant?" ”

Zhang Hong said: "This time, Liu Ye has issued a total of four conditions......"

Next, Zhang Hong described the content of his conversation with Liu Ye to everyone as it was. At the end, he complained angrily: "The first three conditions of Jinfan are barely negotiable, but the last one is all according to Danyang's requirements, but it is too deceitful!" ”

After listening to Zhang Hong's story, everyone was silent for a while, and after a while, Sun Quan asked Zhang Zhao with a gloomy face: "Zibu, where do you think the bottom limit of Jinfan will be?" Then Wang Chong doesn't really want the whole county of Danyang, right? ”

Zhang Zhao thought for a while and said: "According to the judgment of the minister, Hushu, Guyan, and Yuqian are three counties, and Wang Chong resolutely wants to occupy one of them. thought it would be used as a bridgehead to attack my Jiangdong in the future, but this is obviously not something that my Jiangdong can accept! ”

Hua Xin nodded and agreed: "This is where the biggest difference between my Jiangdong and Jinfan lies, if no one refuses to back down, then this negotiation will inevitably end in failure!" ”

Gu Yong said lightly: "But in fact, this is no longer a question of whether we are willing or not, but whether we are willing to accept it or not, Yu Qian has actually lost it, can we still expect Jinfan to take the initiative to let it out?" ”

Gu Yong's words were very cruel and took off the last fig leaf of Jiangdong. made everyone look decadent and embarrassed.

Sun Quan asked Gu Yongdao: "I don't know what Yuan Si thinks?" ”

Gu Yong said: "Lord, when you keep interrupting, you will suffer from chaos." At present, Jiangdong is on the verge of collapse, anyway, Yu Qian is not going to come back, so he simply and generously gave it to Jinfan, and this peace talk must be implemented as soon as possible. Otherwise, as the war continues, Jinfan's appetite may become bigger and bigger! ”

Sun Quan said with a face full of unwillingness: "But Yuan Si knows what it will mean for Yu Qian to fall into Jinfan's hands?" ”

Gu Yong persuaded: "The lord must not lose the big because of the small, now that the Jinfan soldiers are besieging Yuhang, General Gongmiao may not be able to resist it, and once Yuhang falls, the entire Huiji may fall into the hands of Jinfan!" ”

"This ......" Sun Quan's face was extremely ugly, and after some painful struggles in his heart, he couldn't help but close his eyes tiredly, "That's it......"

"Newspaper—"

At this time, a soldier outside the door quickly rushed in and interrupted Sun Quan's thoughts: "Lord Qi, good news from Moling!" ”

"Good news!?" Sun Quan was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly said, "Quick, hurry up!" ”

After a while, Sun Quan, whose expression was getting more and more excited, couldn't help laughing wildly: "Okay, good, Gongjin is really a good means, now that Moling is back to my Jiangdong ownership, I want to see that Wang Chong, do you dare to open your mouth again and ask me for the whole county of Danyang, haha!" ”

Zhang Hong asked anxiously: "Lord, has Moling City really been recaptured by us?" ”

Sun Quan raised the letter in his hand in high spirits: "This is a letter written by De Mougong, Zigang can take it and read it!" ”

Zhang Hong quickly took the letter, and Zhang Zhao and others also surrounded him curiously.

It turned out that Zhou Yu took advantage of Jiangdong to negotiate with Jinfan, Wang Chong had a lax heart, and led an army of 10,000 out of Danyang County last night, so that Hushu's Lu Fan commanded more than 10,000 men and horses to sneak attack the north gate of Moling, and immediately turned from a sneak attack to a strong attack after being discovered, Zhu Chun, who was guarding the north gate, could not resist, so he had to transfer people from the rest of the city gate, and as Ren Jiang led the troops from the south gate to the north gate to support, Zhou Yu's 10,000 troops hidden in the night suddenly killed from outside the south gate, and under the surprise, the south gate immediately fell, Where can Jinfan, who only has more than 4,000 soldiers in the city, resist it?

In the end, Zhu Chun and Ren Jiang, who knew that they couldn't do anything, had to lead more than a thousand remnants of the soldiers to retreat from the West Gate, but who wanted to be killed by the ambush soldiers arranged there by Zhou Yu early in the middle of the road, more than 1,000 soldiers and horses were almost killed and wounded, Ren Jiang was in the middle of the arrow, his life hung by a thread, Zhu Chun desperately escorted Ren Jiang into the night, and only then did he escape by luck.

"Lord, this is a good opportunity!" Zhang Zhao said happily, "Moling is more important to Jinfan than diving in my Jiangdong, the lord can use Moling to exchange for diving, I believe that Wang Chong has no reason to refuse!" ”

Sun Quan nodded thoughtfully, although this victory could not reverse the overall situation, it was enough to add an important bargaining chip to Jiangdong in the follow-up negotiations.

"In this way, it will trouble Zigang to go to Shicheng again, and be sure to exchange it for Yu Qian from Jinfan!"

Zhang Hong replied solemnly: "No! (To be continued.) )
