Chapter 112: Negotiation
Since Sun Jian obtained the jade seal of the heirloom country in Luoyang City, he has made up his mind to return to Jiangdong. didn't know that he had fallen for Dong Shouye's plan to kill three soldiers.
This qiē was all a strategy arranged by Dong Shouye before, and Dong Shouye considered that Sun Jian or other princes had the possibility of entering Luoyang City, so he used the jade seal he had found as a bait to let the other party take the bait.
After Sun Jian entered Dagu Pass, Dong Shouye did not immediately go to the vicinity of Luoyang to snipe Sun Jian, but rested on the spot, and Yiyi was delayed for a few days.
After confirming that Dao Sun Jian had entered Luoyang, Dong Shouye led the army to quickly march, passed through Gong County, arrived at Houshi County, and then went all the way to the west until the north side of Qianting, stopped the army and stationed horses, and waited for Sun Jian's army.
The front pavilion is located between Yiyun Pass and Dagu Pass, which is close to Yishui and close to Yiyun Pass.
If Sun Jianjun left Luoyang, it was best to go south and choose one of the three passes on the south side of Luoyang.
But now Dong Shouye's garrison is near Qianting, which is equivalent to being stuck on the road that Sun Jian must pass through to the south.
Of course, it is also possible for Sun Jian to detour back to Jiangdong from several other directions in Luoyang, but the chances of that are very small.
Now Sun Jian is in Luoyang, its west side is the Hangu Pass guarded by Dong Yue, the commander of the Western Liang Army, and the Tiger Prison Pass guarded by Xu Rong of the West Liang Army on the east side, and there is no force to guard it on the north side, but if Sun Jian chooses the north side, I am afraid that he will have to bypass most of China, and the road is also extremely dangerous, I don't know that the Year of the Monkey can reach Jiangdong.
The east and west sides are Xiongguan Mandao, if Sun Jian chooses to attack, it will definitely be a bloody battle, even if Sun Jian can win by luck, it is estimated that there are few men and horses left, and after the soldiers and horses are lost, they are unable to face all kinds of gentlemen and villains along the way.
Therefore, for the current Sun Jian, even if someone intercepts it on the south side of Luoyang, the probability of breaking through from the south side is greater, and the risk he faces is the least.
Now Sun Jian has to fall into the trap dug by Dong Shouye.
Sun Jian's only good fortune is that now there are only his own people near Luoyang, no one knows that he has the jade seal, and no one snatches the jade seal of the country with him.
Sun Jian chose to leave Luoyang from Xuanyang Gate, the main city gate on the south side of Luoyang City. There are 12 city gates in Luoyang City, which are Jianchun Gate, Dongyang Gate and Qingyang Gate on the east side, Kaiyang Gate, Pingchang Gate, Xuanyang Gate and Jinyang Gate on the south side, Chengming Gate, Xiyang Gate and Upper West Gate on the west side, Daxia Gate and Guangmo Gate on the north side, and there are 12 city gates Sima to guard the 12 city gates. Xuanyang Gate is the main city gate on the south side of Luoyang City, located on the main road of the north-south axis of Luoyang City. Sun Jian walked out of the army with a large army from Xuanyang Gate, and he couldn't see a sergeant guarding the city gate, and he was a little reluctant for a while, it was a pity that he couldn't occupy such a good city.
Sun Jian went all the way south along the Lingtai Road, crossed Yishui and went south, apparently trying to get out of Dagu Pass.
Dong Shouye found out near the Qianting that Sun Jian was about to arrive at Dagu Pass in the near future, so he led his men and horses to wait for Sun Jian on the road that Sun Jian must pass.
Sun Jian's spies also found out that Dong Shouye was already waiting for his news in the front, and he was a little unclear, so he didn't know what the hell Dong Shouye was fighting.
Soon, Dong Shouye sent a messenger to Sun Jian, asking to meet Sun Jian to talk about his heart and reminisce about the past.
At this time, Sun Zijian was even more confused, and hurriedly discussed with his younger brother Sun Jiang.
Sun Jian handed the letter written by Dong Shouye to Sun Jing, and then asked, "Youtai, in your opinion, what does Dong Baixiao'er mean by this?" ”
Sun Jing carefully read the letter in her hand twice, and then said to her brother: "Dong Bai'er has always behaved strangely and played cards not according to common sense, my brother should be more vigilant against him." ”
Sun Jian sighed and said: "Brother Wei also knows that Dong Bai's kid is a bad belly, but at the moment, our army's strength is not as good as the other party, if we resist it, I am afraid that we will lose more and win less." ”
Sun Jing also felt a little powerless when she thought of Dong Shouye, so she said to Sun Jian: "Brother, as the saying goes, 'people have to bow their heads under the low eaves', and now Dong Bai'er is bullying, we should think of a perfect idea." ”
Sun Jian smiled and said, "There is no perfect idea, only for now, there are only two ways to go, either war or peace." ”
Sun Jing said tentatively: "Brother, does Dong Baixiao'er want to negotiate with our army in this move?" ”
Sun Jian retorted: "Our army and the Xiliang army are enemies of life and death, what can we talk about between us." ”
Sun Jing continued: "Brother, look, now Dong Bai Xiao'er can be said to be stuck on the only way for us to return south, but he didn't take the initiative to attack, he must have a plan." There is a saying in the art of war, 'the first strike is strong, and the second strike suffers', Dong Bai'er is more shrewd than a monkey, how could he let go of such a great opportunity in vain? ”
Sun Jian felt that what Sun Jing said also made some sense, so he then asked, "Youtai, what do you think we can talk about with Dong Baixiao'er?" ”
Sun Jing thought for a while and said: "Judging from the situation we fought with Dong Shouye before, the other party is a master who is unwilling to suffer, if he wants to negotiate with us, he must want to take advantage of us, according to his unprofitable character, most likely he wants to make a fortune from us." ”
Sun Jian said: "We now have a heavy treasure in our bodies, it is not appropriate to have more branches, nor should we lose too many soldiers and horses, if we fight with Dong Baixiaoer again, even if our army wins, I am afraid it will be a heavy loss." Moreover, Dong Bai'er is cunning and abnormal, and our army may not be able to win. ”
Seeing this, Sun Jing said: "Brother, then let's meet Dong Baixiao'er first, see what tricks the other party wants to play, and then see each other again." ”
So, Sun Jian and Dong Shouye met more than 40 miles north of Dagu Pass. According to the agreement, each side took only a few retinues and met in a place not too far from the men and horses of both sides.
On this day, the sun was shining, and the two sides met as previously agreed.
The people brought by Sun Jian were the eldest son Sun Ce, the generals Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and the younger brother Sun Jing stayed in the camp to preside over the army.
Dong Shouye didn't bring many people, the eldest brother Xu Huang, the second brother Zhang Liao, the generals Dian Wei and Hua Xiong. Jia Xu and Li Wei stayed in the camp with the others. Dong Shouye also wanted to take Jia Xu with him before, after all, Jia Xu was resourceful, and he could also help Dong Shouye check and fill in the gaps in the negotiation.
After the two parties met, Dong Shouye first hugged Sun Jian's fist, gave a salute, and then said: "Uncle is really a believer, and the little nephew admires it." I haven't seen him for many days, but my uncle is still the same demeanor, which makes the little nephew admire! ”
