Liu Ye's words are actually forcing Zhang Hong to make a decision, if you promise, we will continue to talk, if you don't agree...... Then there's not much to say.

Liu Ye believed that Sun Quan sent Zhang Hong to sue for peace, so he must have given him the power to act cheaply, as long as it was within certain scope of authority, Zhang Hong could make his own decisions.

However, Zhang Hong was obviously not easy to bluff, so he only heard him say lightly: "Ziyang, Chen Wu and Dong Xi, the two generals, are both important generals in my Jiangdong, and it is impossible for us to give them to you Jinfan, in fact, I came here on the orders of the lord this time, one of the purposes is to hope to redeem the two generals in Jiangdong, and I hope that Ziyang and General Zhengdong will be more accommodating!" ”

"Redemption?" Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, playing with the taste, "It's not impossible, I'm afraid that the general can't afford to pay the ransom!" ”

Zhang Hong said: "My father-in-law's attitude towards this is quite resolute, as long as you don't ask for a price, I think we should be able to negotiate!" ”

Talk?

Liu Ye sneered in his heart, as long as he was a general that Wang Chong valued, once he was captured by Jinfan, Wang Chong would do everything possible to take it for his own use, the previous Tai Shici, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, weren't they moved by Wang Chong's indomitable sincerity?

Wang Chong has always praised Chen Wu and Dong Xian, how could he put them back in Jiangdong? Sun Quan wants to negotiate a price? Sorry, Jinfan is not short of money.

Liu Ye shrugged and said, "Okay, let's put this issue aside for now, let's talk about it later, for now, let's talk about the second condition first!" ”

Liu Ye's answer made Zhang Hong's heart cold, he knew that this time he wanted to redeem Chen Wu and Dong Xi's task, I am afraid it would not be easy to achieve, but think about it, the two of them are only temporarily quitting the war, and they are not forever forming an alliance, so Jin Fan naturally can't stupidly let the tiger go back to the mountain and add a strong enemy to his future.

Zhang Hong said quietly: "Ziyang, please speak!" ”

Liu Ye said: "My second condition for Jinfan is actually very simple, presumably Mr. also knows that you and I are in the process of fighting." There have been many Jiangdong soldiers who have submitted to Jinfan, and among these soldiers, some of the family members of the soldiers happen to be in your rule, and my lord hopes that the general will be able to raise his noble hand. Return these family members to us Jinfan, so that they can be reunited as a family! ”

Zhang Hong fell into contemplation when he heard this, Jinfan's condition is nothing more than two purposes, one is to buy people's hearts. One is to increase the population of their own territory, but there are not many soldiers in Jiangdong who surrendered to Jinfan, and there are more than 10,000 soldiers, and at least half of them are in Yuzhang and Danyang counties, so the population they need to pay in Jiangdong in the end is at most four or five thousand households, which is barely within their affordability.

After thinking about it, Zhang Hong nodded directly and said, "I can agree to this request on behalf of my father-in-law." ”

Liu Ye hugged his fists and said: "In this way, the student will thank Mr. Guo for those soldiers of my Jinfan first!" ”

Zhang Hong waved his hand. Straight to the point: "What other conditions does General Zhengdong have?" Ziyang said it together! ”

"Okay, Mr. is really fast!" Liu Ye paused with a smile and said, "Our third condition is to hope that the general can make some compensation for the soldiers killed in this war!" ”

Zhang Hong's face changed: "This is your own Jinfan's own soldiers, why do you want us to compensate?" ”

Liu Ye smiled and said: "The person who killed my Jinfan soldier is you Jiangdong!" ”

Zhang Hong retorted: "In other words, all the soldiers who died in Jiangdong should also be compensated by you Jinfan?" ”

Liu Ye's expression sank, and he reminded: "Sir, you must know that it is you Jiangdong who are seeking peace this time. As the defeated side, isn't it normal to cede land and lose money? Or are you Jiangdong ready to let this war continue? To be honest, I really don't care! ”

"......" people are under the eaves. had to bow his head, Zhang Hong's old face was flushed, he was full of anger, gritted his teeth and asked, "Say, how much!" ”

Liu Ye smiled slightly: "Not much." 30,000 taels of gold, 200,000 stones of grain and grass! ”

"Shhhh

Zhang Hong couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, Nima didn't even say much about such a large sum of money? At present, even if the entire treasury of Jiangdong is emptied, it will not reach half of this figure at all.

Zhang Hong took a deep breath and said with an embarrassed face: "Ziyang, this request of yours is too difficult for a strong person, right?" ”

Liu Ye pretended to be helpless and said: "Sir doesn't know, my lord has set the amount of the soldier's pension very high, and the casualties of my Jinfan in this battle have exceeded 40,000, and this expenditure alone is an astronomical amount!" ”

Zhang Hong pursed his lips and sneered: "Even so, it definitely doesn't need as much as 30,000 taels of gold, right?" ”

Liu Ye sighed: "How much can the general be captured?" ”

Zhang Hong thought for a while and said, "At most, five thousand taels of gold, fifty thousand stones of grain and grass!" ”

"Too little!" Liu Ye shook his head and said, "Twenty-five thousand taels of gold, 170,000 stones of grain and grass, how about it?" ”

Zhang Hong pondered for a moment and said: "Six thousand taels of gold, seventy thousand stones of grain and grass, Ziyang, there really can't be more!" ”

Liu Ye said: "No, this number does not reflect your sincerity at all, 20,000 taels of gold, 150,000 stones of grain and grass, sir, remember, this is the last limit of my Jinfan, and there is no room for bargaining, if you Jiangdong still don't agree, then I think, we don't need to talk about it anymore!" ”

After that, he got up directly and wanted to leave.

"Wait!" Zhang Hong hurriedly stopped Liu Ye, and said with an embarrassed face, "Ziyang, this amount of money and grain is huge, I can't give any promise now, why don't I wait for me to go back to Wu County and discuss with the lord, and then reply to Ziyang?" ”

Of course, Zhang Hong knew that the number given by Liu Ye was definitely not the real limit of Jinfan, but there was no way, the initiative was completely in Jinfan's hands at the moment, and for the sake of today's plan, he could only grind slowly with the other party.

“…… That's good! Liu Ye nodded, and sat back reluctantly, "Putting aside the matter of money and grain for the time being, let's solve the problem of dividing the territory first, what does Mr. think?" ”

Zhang Hong squinted his eyes and said with a solemn expression: "I don't know what General Zhengdong thinks?" ”

Liu Ye said with a smile: "My lord hopes that the Jiangdong side can withdraw from Danyang on all fronts, and from now on, the four counties of Jiangdong, each side will hold two of them, isn't it just right?" ”

"Absolutely not!" Zhang Hong resolutely refused, "Of the sixteen counties in Danyang, Jinfan can only have ten counties at most, and the rest of the six counties of Moling, Hushu, Jiangcheng, Jurong, Guyan, and Yuqian must belong to my Jiangdong!" ”

Liu Ye looked at Zhang Hong coldly: "Sir, it seems that you don't have the sincerity to make peace with me Jinfan, in this case, sir, please go back, let's see you on the battlefield in Japan!" (To be continued.) )
