As Liu Ze said, this was the most arduous negotiation. The chief negotiator sent by the Jing army was Zhuge Liang, in addition to Zhuge Liang, there were Chen Deng, Xu Shu, Mi Zhu, Ma Jian and others, and the Wu army sent representatives headed by Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Zhuge Jin, and Lu Fan were also impressively listed. The venue of the negotiations was chosen on the flagship of the Jing Army's naval army, the "Yangwei", and Liu Ze was not worried about leaking secrets, for such a high-tech weapon as artillery, even if the people of Eastern Wu looked at it ten or a hundred times, they would definitely not be able to produce counterfeit products, but instead showed and showed off their strength to the representatives of Eastern Wu, and made them surrender quickly.

Sure enough, Zhou Yu and others, who had endured the hardships of the Jingjun artillery on Peng Lize, saw these real artillery, and their faces suddenly became very ugly, although they were also very eager to see what these artillery guns looked like, but after witnessing the real thing at this time, the painful scenes of the past were vividly remembered, how not to let them have palpitations.

What's more, the chief negotiator of Jingjun is Zhuge Liang, thinking about the disgrace back then, Zhou Yu's face must not be good, but Zhuge Liang talks and laughs freely and sways freely.

The negotiating table has always been another battlefield, although there is no fighting, no blood, but the smell of gunpowder is still full, and the two sides are facing each other, and every inch of land is fighting.

The core of the negotiations between the two sides is to make peace around the retreat of the Jing Army, but Jiangdong is also very clear in this regard that without substantive interests, Liu Ze will definitely not give up lightly. Sure enough, at the beginning of the negotiations, Zhuge Liang put forward almost harsh demands such as land cession and compensation, with the Yangtze River and the Ganjiang River as the boundary, re-demarcating the territory of Sun and Liu, and the places north of the Yangtze River, such as Wancheng, Shuxian, Liyang, and Chaisang west of Pengze, were all owned by Liu Fang, and the amount of compensation was also hundreds of millions, with two million grains and 200 million copper coins. 100,000 horses of silk.

Zhou Yu was furious when he heard these requests, not to mention how heavy this price was for Jiangdong, and the condition of losing power and humiliating the country alone made him unacceptable, Zhou Yu took the case and reprimanded angrily: "You are simply too much! ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said calmly: "Zhou Dudu refuses to talk." You can go back and prepare for war, just under this Jianye City, we will fight it out to see if you Jianye City is strong, or my battleship is strong. ”

Lu Su aimed at the river, and the Yangwei and other five-ship battleships were lined up, and the muzzles of their guns were all facing Jianye City, I was afraid that once the negotiations broke down, the Jing army would shell Stone City. They shouldered the heavy trust of Marquis Wu on this trip, and the expectations of millions of fathers and elders in Jiangdong, how could they be willful, not to mention that there was no alliance under the city in all dynasties without humiliation, he hurriedly whispered to comfort Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu didn't understand this, so he returned to the negotiation table in a huff. Before leaving, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan had been talking in detail all night, and they had already prepared for the worst. Wancheng Liyang and other places in the north of the river and Chaisang have long since fallen into Liu Ze's hands, and these lost lands are being brought back at the negotiation table. It is tantamount to pulling teeth with a tiger's mouth, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan have long lost any hope, Sun Quan's bottom line is that no matter what, Liu Ze cannot be allowed to get involved in the land south of the Yangtze River again, and the conditions for land cession proposed by Zhuge Liang are actually completely acceptable to Jiangdong. What's more, Wancheng, Liyang and other places are isolated in the north of the Yangtze River, and the advantages of the Eastern Wu Navy are lost. Even if you take it back, you may not be able to keep it. The only thing that made Zhou Yu's heart ache was Chai Sang.

Chaisang Pass is a crucial place for both Sun and Liu, and Chaisang is equivalent to the west gate of Jiangdong, once Chaisang is lost. Jiangdong is almost unsafe on the west road, and the Jing army's foot cavalry can march along the Jiangdong and be invincible all the way. Similarly, as long as the Jiangdong Army is stationed in Chaisang, it is a potential threat to Jingzhou, especially Wuchang, and Chaisang is crucial at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, so the importance of Chaisang to Jiangdong is self-evident. But in the same way, for Liu Ze, the meaning of Chaisang Pass is also different, it is not only a defensive town, but also an advance base, and now Chaisang has fallen into the hands of Liu Ze, Zhou Yu is obviously very clear about its belonging, but Zhou Yu is not ready to give up lightly, to fight for it.

It is also a negotiation technique that allows you to do what you know you can't do, and even if you don't get it in the end, you'll be compensated in other ways.

The most unacceptable thing for Zhou Yu is that it can be called a sky-high indemnity, two million grains of rice, 200 million copper coins, 100,000 horses of silk, obediently, Liu Ze can really open his mouth, even if Jiangdong can get this money and grain, it will be a ruinous blow to Jiangdong's economy, millions of grains and hundreds of millions of money, how many troops can this feed! In this era when having food is equal to having an army, paying Liu Ze so much money and grain is tantamount to harming one's own enemies.

After endless quarrels and bargaining, the two sides finally reached a preliminary agreement seven days later: first, Sun and Liu concluded a friendly alliance, and from the date of the signing of the treaty, the Jing army withdrew to the north of the Yangtze River, and the two sides ceased and repaired; 2. The two sides shall redraw their respective territories with the Yangtze River and the Ganjiang River as the boundary, and shall not invade each other from the date of the signing of the Covenant; 3. Sun Xiang compensated Liu Fang for the war indemnity of 1 million Hu Gu, 100 million copper coins, and 50,000 pieces of silk, to be paid in ten installments; 4. The Contracting Parties declare their willingness to maintain and consolidate their alliance in a spirit of loyalty and cooperation, and to provide military or other forms of assistance to either side of the alliance in the event of an attack by a third party.

For the Jiangdong side, such an outcome is already the limit of what they can bear, after all, this treaty is not an equal covenant, but a completely unequal treaty, in order to make Liu Ze withdraw from the siege of Jianye as much as possible, the Jiangdong side had to accept this treaty in humiliation against their will. Zhou Yu's eyes were full of indignation and unwillingness, but now that people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, what can I do if I am unwilling? In a few days of tug-of-war negotiations, although Zhou Yu did not win back Chaisang Pass, he finally cut half of Liu Ze's harshest indemnity, and adopted the method of paying in ten installments, which was already the best result for Jiangdong.

Decade? Zhou Yu sneered in his heart, is it possible for this paper covenant to last for ten years?

The content of the negotiation naturally includes the content of the relationship, Wu Hou's sister is married, which can be regarded as a major event, and the object to be married is Liu Ze, the king of Jing, so this marriage is naturally in the spotlight.

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan and said slowly: "Lord Sun is the body of ten thousand gold, I don't dare to be contemptuous, this time King Jing specially prepared the next dowry, but I don't know if Wu Hou dares to accept it?" (To be continued......)
