Not long after, Yin Zheng came back to report that the other party had indeed come to sue for peace, hoping that Liu Jing could let Jiangdong go for the sake of the marriage between the two families, and Jiangdong was willing to use the greatest sincerity in exchange for the withdrawal of the Han army.

After reading Sun Quan's handwritten letter, Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, "What is the greatest sincerity, can he agree to any conditions I make?" ”

Hao Zheng said: "Judging from the attitude of the other party, it seems that this is indeed the intention, but they are afraid that His Highness will put forward too many conditions. ”

Liu Jing sneered, "If I don't see the envoy, they will say that I am arrogant, or if I see him, Lord Bo will also go with me to meet him." ”

Liu Jing walked quickly to the first floor, and Yin Zheng also followed, and he said to Liu Jingjian: "His Royal Highness attacked Jiangdong, after all, he lacked an excuse, and his highness Weichen Jian Yì found a righteous excuse to seal the mouth of Jiangdong." ”

Liu Jing stopped, pondered for a moment and smiled: "You are right, you need to find an excuse for righteousness. ”

In the cabin on the first floor, Yan Jian seemed a little distraught, pacing back and forth with his hands in his hands, he went to the Han army this time, Sun Quan gave him an extremely heavy task, so that he had to return with results no matter what, which made him feel great pressure.

The shape has developed to this point, how can the Han army still retreat, how can he still get the results and return.

In fact, Yan Jian knew in his heart that Jiangdong could not come up with any tempting conditions at all, the iron mines in Jiangbei had long been occupied by the Han army, and the food itself was insufficient.

At this time, there was a burst of footsteps outside the cabin, and the guard reminded in a low voice beside him: "His Royal Highness the King of Han has come down." ”

As soon as Yan Jian turned around, he saw Liu Jing walking in quickly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to give a deep salute, "Jiangdong is engaged in Zhonglang to see His Royal Highness the King of Han!" ”

"Mr. Yan, please take a seat!"

Liu Jing's attitude was very strict, please sit down, Yin is sitting opposite Yan Zheng, Liu Jing is sitting on the top, several guards served them tea, Yan Zhen bowed and said: "The lower official came to meet His Royal Highness the King of Han on the order of Wu Hou, presumably His Royal Highness has read Wu Hou's handwritten letter, Jiangdong is willing to do his best to avoid this war with the greatest sincerity, and I hope that His Royal Highness will think of the people of Jiangdong and do not impose soldiers on the innocent people of Jiangdong." ”

Speaking of this, Yan Jing's voice was a little choked, but Liu Jing snorted coldly, "Let me think of the people of Jiangdong, but how do you do it yourself, how many people have left their hometowns and fled Jiangdong, how many innocent children have lost their relatives, the people of Jiangdong have suffered a lot of disasters, and the people are struggling to make a living, is it this me Liu Jing did it?" Mr. Yan, please touch your conscience and think about it, do the people of Jiangdong want me Liu Jing to save them, or do they want me Liu Jing to turn around and leave? ”

The more Liu Jing spoke, the more angry he became, he stood up and walked to the window, pushed open the window of the boat, and said hatefully for a while: "Hundreds of thousands of Jiangdong people left their hometowns and fled to the Han Kingdom, they all said that Jiangdong's taxes were heavier than Mount Tai, Jiangdong officials were more ferocious than jackals, tyrannical expropriation, and the people's families were ruined. ”

Liu Jing's words were like needles, stabbing Yan Jian in the heart, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, and after a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness is right!" ”

"If you can say that, it also shows that you are self-aware."

Liu Jing calmed down the dissatisfaction in his heart a little, and then said to Yan Jian sternly: "You go back and sue Sun Quan, if you don't fight Jiangdong, it's okay, he must meet three conditions, first, immediately announce that the counties in Jiangdong will be exempted from taxes for three years, recuperate with the people, and implement a tax of twenty taxes and one after three years, which will be on par with the Han Kingdom; Second, the choice of the people of Jiangdong must not be blocked, where they want to go is their freedom, and they must not be forcibly stopped; Third, Jiangdong is the Jiangdong of the Han Dynasty, not the private property of his Sun family, and it is necessary to remove a qiē transgression, including the palace, concubines, officials, army and his power, and restore the county system, each county taishou is appointed by the imperial court, and the army is also the army of the imperial court, and should be appointed by the imperial court, and he Sun Quan has no right to establish his own army. ”

Yan Jian was dumbfounded when he heard this, these three points are clearly to deprive Wu Hou of one qiē power, civil officials are appointed by the imperial court, and military generals are appointed by the imperial court, so what else does Wu Hou have?

In fact, without the last two, the first one is enough to crush Jiangdong, exempt from taxes for three years, the army has long starved to death, Yan Jian also knew that Liu Jingyan was insincere, and there was no sincerity in peace talks at all, he sighed secretly in his heart, and reluctantly argued: "Marquis Wu is also a county marquis, so depriving him of his territory and army seems to be unreasonable!" ”

The lord next to him, Bo Hezheng, bowed and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han's words are completely reasonable, according to the Han system, the state can be established above the state of the country, so the Duke of Wei can build the Wei State, His Royal Highness the King of Han can build the Han State, Wu Hou is just a small county marquis, what qualifications does he have to lead a country?" also appoint hundreds of officials and subordinates to divide one side, this is a rebellion, and everyone in the world can ask for it! ”

Yan Jian was speechless, so he had to say: "Then go and reply to Wu Hou!" ”

Liu Jing nodded, "I will give you ten days at most, within ten days, Sun Quan must complete the above three points, and I will withdraw the army, otherwise I will rebel on behalf of the Son of Heaven!" ”

Yan Zhen's heart was gloomy, so he had to say goodbye and leave, Liu Jing ordered the guards to send him away, at this time, Yin Zheng asked in a low voice: "Your Highness also knows that Sun Quan's seizure of Jiangdong is a rebellious move, why don't you justly develop a crusade?" ”

Liu Jing shook his head and said: "Although Cao Cao can no longer interfere with my crusade against Jiangdong militarily, he can still set up obstacles in politics, if I send a document too early, Cao Cao will push the boat down the river, so that the Son of Heaven will crown Sun Quan as the king of Wu, I will be bound by myself, but I will be nameless, now I am not fair, Cao Cao can not restrain me, and when the last army comes to the city, it is not too late to send a document." ”

He Zheng gave a heartfelt thumbs up, "Your Highness! ”

Liu Jing said lightly: "Yan Jian sent an envoy to the Han army, how the senior officials in Jiangdong don't know, they will inevitably ask him about the situation, and then my three conditions will be passed out, whether Sun Quan agrees or not, I will also do my best to be benevolent and righteous." ”

Yin Zheng nodded silently, he suddenly had an indescribable sympathy for Sun Quan, having an enemy like King Han was also his misfortune.

At this time, a guard came in and whispered a few words to Liu Jing, and Liu Jing smiled at Yin Zheng: "I have something to go out for a while, Lord Bo first!" ”

．．．．．．．

In Wu Hou's study, Zhang Zhao and Bu Qi and several other important ministers listened to Yan Ji's report in a daze, and they couldn't help but look at each other, Liu Jing's three conditions were clearly to let Jiangdong determine himself, how could it be done?

Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan worriedly, only to see that Sun Quan didn't say a word, and looked at the Zhu pen in front of him gloomily.

Over the years, Cao Cao fought step by step for the legitimacy of the army and the regime, and finally got the title of Duke of Wei and was able to establish the country, while Liu Jing also fought hard, and was finally named the king of Han, rightfully enjoying the status of the king of a country.

Only Sun Quan is still a county marquis, Cao Cao named him the Duke of Wu twice, but he refused, he didn't want to be charged by the imperial court at first, but now he has become Liu Jing's handle to attack Jiangdong.

Encroaching on this kind of thing, no one usually treats it as a thing, whether it is Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, or Liu Zhang. It's not secretly claiming to be the emperor, everyone is not surprised to see it, and they are used to it, Jiangdong has been divided for many years, and it has become a common practice to encroach on it as soon as possible, and the world has become accustomed to it.

But once there is a need, the encroachment immediately becomes Jiangdong's biggest handle, become the enemy's sharpest tool, Liu Jing attacked Jiangdong under the pretext of arrogance, which makes people seem ridiculous, but if you think about it, it is so terrifying, which means that Liu Jing is famous.

Sun Quan let out a long sigh and said extremely tiredly: "Everyone retreat first!" Let me be quiet for a moment. ”

Indeed, everyone didn't know how to appease Sun Quan, but fortunately, Liu Jing gave ten days to make everyone think about it, what should they do?

Everyone retreated, and Sun Quan got up and said, "Go back to the harem and have a night banquet!" ”

At this time, Sun Quan didn't want to think about anything, he just wanted to get drunk and forget about his troubles

Yan Jian left Jianye Palace, it was almost a watch, he was really a little tired, and was about to return to his own mansion in Moling City to rest, he had just gotten into the carriage, but he saw a person running from the opposite side, and stopped him, "Mancai, please stay!" ”

When the visitor approached, Yan Jian recognized that it was Zhuge Jin, the deputy capital protector, he was stunned, it seemed that Zhuge Jin was not in the study just now, why didn't Wu Hou let him participate in the deliberations together?

Zhuge Jin got into the carriage and whispered: "My house is being monitored, as long as I wait for Mancai here." ”

"What happened?"

Yan Jian was even more and more surprised, Zhuge Jin's mansion was actually being watched, who was being monitored? As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly understood that there would be no one else except Wu Hou.

"How could Wu Hou spy on Zhuge Gong?"

Zhuge Jin sighed and said: "It's hard to say, for the sake of Jiaozhou's aid, Wu Hou is extremely annoyed with me, let's not talk about this, I want to ask, what conditions did Liu Jing offer?" ”

Yan Jian didn't know whether to tell Zhuge Jin or not, he and Zhuge Jin both belonged to Zhang Zhao's northern faction, and they usually had an excellent relationship, so they didn't say anything, and he usually wouldn't hide Zhuge Jin from this kind of confidential matter, but now is an extraordinary period, which really makes Yan Jin a little difficult.

However, Yan Jian thought that many people knew about it, and the news would spread tomorrow, so it didn't matter if he said it now, so he sighed and said, "Liu Jing put forward three conditions that Wu Hou couldn't do at all. ”

He explained Liu Jing's three conditions to Zhuge Jin, and finally shook his head and said: "I can see that Wu Hou is desperate, and even the military advisor is speechless, Liu Jing gave ten days, which clearly shows that the Jiangdong officials choose their own way out, does Zhuge Gong have any ideas?" ”

Zhuge Jin shook his head, "I'm very confused now, and I don't know what to do. ”

"This matter is absolutely confidential, and Zhuge Gong must not sue anyone, so as not to cause confusion."

"I know, I'm going to keep it a secret."

Zhuge Jin got out of the carriage, turned around and trotted towards the carriage parked in the distance, Yan Jian felt very lost in his heart, should he also think about his future?
