The next day was coming soon, and Yang Hong got up as soon as it was dawn on this day! But after he got up, he didn't go directly to Zhang Zhao, but in the courtyard, picked up pen, ink, paper, inkstone and wrote calligraphy, and even picked up a carving knife to carve a tortoise shell! It wasn't until the middle of the day that he had lunch, Yang Hong took a nap for a while, and then he walked slowly towards the courtyard where Zhang Zhao was, he knew that now was the time to go, if he went to find it anyway, the two of them were relatively speechless, and if he went late, I am afraid that this Zhang Zhao would go directly to the Taishou Mansion, after all, he is a messenger of the princes, no matter how Lu Bujun has an opinion on the Jiangdong Army, he must be polite to Zhang Zhao, after all, the two countries are not at war, you can't let the people of the world think that Lu Bujun is a group of barbarians!
Now it's just time, not too late or too early, Yang Hong stepped directly into Zhang Zhao's mansion, Yang Hong can be a good swim Zhang Zhao doesn't have such a good idea, because he is now roasted on the fire, you must know that he came this time not only because of Sun Ce, but also because of the pressure given by so many scholars, every day he delays those children of the scholar clan may suffer in the Wancheng prison for one more day, so Zhang Zhao can't wait for a moment, but he is still calm on the surface, Because he must occupy the top point so that he can get the most benefit from the diplomacy with Lu Bujun!
"Mr. Yang Hong is here!" Zhang Zhao also sat in the courtyard, although he was anxious, but he was very indifferent on the surface, seeing Yang Hong coming, he didn't come forward to greet him, but just glanced at Yang Hong, which means that you invite yourself, I won't entertain you.
What perseverance! Yang Hong also thinks highly of this Zhang Zhao in his heart, if it is a normal person, a normal messenger or an ordinary person, I am afraid that he will be so anxious that he doesn't know what to do now, he may jump up and down, he may run directly to the Taishou Mansion, and even as soon as he comes in, he can pull himself to talk long and short, but now this Zhang Zhao in front of him is very indifferent, worthy of being Jiangdong's Xi strategist!
But so what? You must know that the initiative is now in Yang Hong's hands, since you are ruthless and indifferent, then continue to let you be indifferent! Yang Hong didn't mind Zhang Zhao's rudeness, but directly did it on the table: "Come on, help me with a set of cups!" "This courtyard was still found by Yang Hong for Zhang Zhao, naturally the slaves and maids in it all knew Yang Hong, and when they heard Yang Hong's order, they immediately went down to prepare, and they all knew what Yang Hong liked to drink. After a while, a teacup and a teapot came up with a tray in it!
The tea at this time is not the modern kind of tea tea, these differences are made of longan, salt and even some seasonings, not so much tea as soup, this kind of soup can only be drunk by people like Yang Hong, who are used to drinking, and others are difficult to swallow at all. For example, Liu Mang, Liu Mang is a little interested in this tea, and even has a disgusting feeling when he sees it.
Yang Hong just sat there and drank to himself, he squinted his eyes and continued to play like yesterday.
"This Yang Hong!" Zhang Zhao's brows wrinkled when people weren't paying attention, this Yang Hong is not a straw bag! It's not a superficial person, why hasn't the Lord shown up to talk to him, what do they want! Chen Gong, what did he think! Among Lu Bujun, Chen Gong is the first person in wisdom and strategy. So Zhang Zhao thought that it was Chen Gong who was standing behind Yang Hong, and it was Chen Gong who asked Yang Hong to come over and do this, in order to let himself speak first, Zhang Zhao still remained silent, because he believed what the guard said! That guard was Sun Ce's cronies, and Sun Ce trusted him very much, otherwise he wouldn't have lined up here to protect himself.
"Drink tea, drink tea!" Zhang Zhao also continued to drink tea, he didn't believe that this Yang Hong really couldn't help but speak, time passed very quickly. After a while, the day will be over, Yang Hong looked at the sky, stood up again, this time he tasted the tea with another artistic conception.
"Mr. Zhang Zhao, I'm sorry again, it's getting late, and Hong is leaving!" Yang Hong got up, still the same as before, and walked directly towards the door of the mansion.
"Humph!" Seeing Yang Hong walk out, Zhang Zhao snorted coldly, and this is the case again. What does this Lu Bujun want!
"Mr. Zhang Zhao has eaten!" The guards on the side reminded Zhang Zhao. It's over, it's time to eat.
But how can Zhang Zhao be in the mood to eat now! "Don't eat, don't eat!" He was about to say it, but suddenly stopped. Because he knows that he has lost his temper and doesn't finish eating, isn't it obvious that he is already anxious to tell the enemy! You must know that this is the courtyard arranged by Yang Hong of Lu Bujun, and there are I don't know how many people's eyeliner is inserted in it.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go to dinner! "Thinking like this, Zhang Zhao directly pulled up the guards, he not only wanted to eat, but also pulled these guards to eat with Yan Yuese, he wanted to sue Yang Hong, tell sù Yang Hong's Chen Gong behind him He was not in a hurry, he was not in a hurry at all, they came to the peace talks this time to give you Lu Bujun's face, not because of anything else."
"You can still eat! That's good! Zhang Zhao guessed right, there are really a lot of Yang Hong's eyeliner in this courtyard, Yang Hong arranged Zhang Zhao here in order to monitor Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao's every move is basically under Yang Hong's control, if a Zhang Zhao can't settle down and has been hung for two days, then he should lose his temper at night and overturn the tableware and chopsticks in his hand, you must know that Zhang Zhao is a strategist in Jiangdong, which is equivalent to the low position in the Chen Palace and Lu Bu's army, and it is a character that Sun Ce is difficult to lack. Such a character is now being left aside by Lu Bujun, and he doesn't pay attention to it at all, although Yang Hong is very polite to Zhang Zhao verbally in the past two days, he shows a kind of disdain in behavior.
In order to provoke Zhang Zhao and make Zhang Zhao mess with himself, so that Zhang Zhao would be led away by Yang Hong.
But Zhang Zhao can eat now, and he eats very deliciously, and he took a few guards to the table together, chatting about the customs and customs of Jiangdong while eating, and a few people also drank a little wine, where is it like being in the enemy's city, where is this Zhang Zhao like he came to negotiate and came to vacation.
Ordinary people are afraid that they will be deceived by Zhang Zhao's expression, and if Liu Mang is here, he is afraid that he will directly see Zhang Zhao.
"Be calm! I'll see how long you'll be calm! Yang Hong sneered, he Yang Hong may be a little inferior in strategy and strategy, and even be able to make stupid moves, but in terms of diplomacy, he Yang Hong thinks that he is the first and no one else dares to admit the second, and it is a joke in front of Yang Hong!
On the third and fourth days, Yang Hong was like this, and Zhang Zhao was as indifferent as ever, shouting to the guards to eat. It's just that judging from the stiff expression on his face, he is about to be unable to hold on.
Yang Hong planned to continue like this, but he was interrupted because of Liu Mang, because Liu Mang was leaving, he was going to take Gan Ning with Huang Zhong, Huang Xu and Xu Sheng Chengyu to leave for Shouchun, Huang Zhong and Huang Xu didn't care that they were already by Liu Mang's side, and Xu Sheng's black chess army had already been reorganized. Cheng Yu's chengguan army has also been done, although the combat effectiveness does not know how, but it is not impossible to fight!
And Gan Ning's departure made Yang Hong's plan come forward, because Gan Ning's navy needed to go to Shouchun with Liu Mang, although the Ganning navy defeated the Jiangdong army's navy, and even had no major casualties, but Lu Bu's navy had little time to form an army after all, and what it needed was to rest and expand. Because there will be large-scale battles to be fought in the future, is it useless to rely on these thousands of soldiers and horses! If you really tear your face with the Jiangdong Navy, although you can still have a slight upper hand by relying on the strength of the bed crossbow, but once the Jiangdong Army is ruthless and desperately blocks the Yangtze River with heavy casualties, then Ganning's Navy's army will not be an opponent even if it fights ten, and there is a spoof Jingzhou Navy's army on the side, so now Liu Mang is going to take Ganning's Navy's army to Shouchun. There are also Huai River and Yingshui in Shouchun, these two rivers are enough for Ganning to train sailors, and now the rest is to prepare for the occupation of Jiangdong Jingzhou in the future, and now Ganning's naval army is in the border area of Lujiang and Jiangxia, and Jiangxia is Jingzhou, it is precisely because of this that Sun Cejun is very worried, and it is also a deterrent, once Ganning's naval army and Jingzhou's naval army are united. Then Zhou Yu really can't escape, and this is also Yang Hong's bargaining chip, now such a big bargaining chip is about to disappear, Yang Hong has to change his plan!
On the fifth day, Zhang Zhao couldn't hold on anymore, because he had received information about Jiangxia a day earlier, and Ganning's navy and Jiangdong's navy had made contact again. This time it was unusually close, and even the distance between the two ships everyone could see the face of the enemy on the opposite side, what did Lu Bujun want to do, he really wanted to start a full-scale war with Jiangdong! If Zhou Yu's water army is destroyed. Then Jiangdong is really dangerous, at least the hegemony of Jiangzhong will be shaken, he now has two main forces left to withstand the counterattack of the Jingzhou naval army, if this one is gone, then not only Jiangxia will be lost, I am afraid that Pan Yang will be lost, but he is still supporting Wuchang, at that time it is not an open territory, but it is pressed by others, although Jingzhou Liu Biao has no enterprising heart, but a piece of fat in front of him is not eaten It is not a fool! So Zhang Zhao was a little anxious.
Especially one thing tonight made Zhang Zhao a little anxious, that is, when he ate at night, there were fewer dishes, and how to eat when the dishes became less, so Zhang Zhao asked the maid why there were fewer dishes, and the maid said that because there was not enough food and grass in the city, there was no problem with food and clothing, but if you wanted more vegetables, it would be impossible.
Running out of food in the city? If Zhang Zhao can analyze a bunch of things for Lu Bujun in normal times, and he will be very happy, because Lu Bujun is short of food and grass, he will naturally put away his claws, so that Jiangdong will be safe, but now the harvest of summer grain is about to arrive, and there will be less food shortage for a while, but now even he, the messenger, has to reduce his food, so what about those Shi clan principals who are now in the Wancheng prison! When he came to Lu Bujun, he promised to bring back all the principals of the Shi clan one by one, and bring them back unharmed.
If he was starved to death a few, then it would be a lot of fun, if he starved to death before, it would be excusable, if he starved to death now, then it was his Zhang Zhao's mistake, because of his Zhang Zhao's delay, which led to those scholars being starved to death, although Zhang Zhao was also a famous and powerful person in Jiangdong, and even in Jiangdong, it can be said that one person is above ten thousand people, but he doesn't want to offend those scholars!
If he wants the Zhang family to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, he must have a good relationship with these local snake families, so that he can have both offense and defense, so that he can integrate into it, and a scholar clan who is not accepted will be calculated to die sooner or later, Zhang Zhao is okay, if Zhang Zhao dies! So who else in the Zhang family can make the Zhang family persevere!
On the sixth day, before Yang Hong could leave the mansion, this Zhang Zhao greeted him and hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Yang Hong, I want to ask, do you want to talk about peace!" Zhang Zhao's face was full of anger and a hint of coldness, he wouldn't beg Yang Hong, because he Jiangdong was not without the strength to fight. It's in a hurry, you can really jump off the wall in a hurry! Moreover, Liu Biao of Jingzhou has no good impression of Sun Cejun, can it be that he has Lu Bujun, they are also enemies, but the difference between one is a wolf and the other is a tiger! There are no absolute friends in this world, only absolute interests, maybe people who were enemies one moment become friends the next.
Just like when Lu Bu was in Xuzhou again, he and Liu Bei were still friends a moment ago. At the next moment, Lu Bu directly sold Liu Bei for the sake of Xuzhou's territory, not only took Xiapi, captured most of Xuzhou, and even almost killed Zhang Fei, but seeing that these two families were going to die! After all, Liu Da'er finally survived until the old man Tao Qian died, and took over Xuzhou from Tao Qian's hands. With a place, you Lu Bu will come over to grab the territory, you know, Lu Bu Xuzhou is still because of Liu Bei of Xuzhou to protect him, Lu Bu escaped from Yanzhou Cao Cao, Lao Cao originally wanted to kill Lu Bu according to his temper, because Lu Bu was about to take the whole of Xuzhou in the name of avenging his father. Inserted a foot and almost broke Lao Cao's entire hometown, Lao Cao would have a ghost if he could let Lu Bu go, but because of Liu Bei, Lao Cao endured it, he could beat one Lu Bu, and one Lu Bu and Liu Bei He was really not an opponent. What's more, his hometown has become like this, and Lao Cao himself is also embarrassed, so Cao Cao retreated, and Liu Bei also gave Xiao Pei to Lu Bu and asked Lu Bu to guard the Xuzhou portal for him. It was the honeymoon period!
But in the blink of an eye, when Liu Bei beat Yuan Shu, Lu Bu directly bit Liu Bei and seized Xiapi to occupy Xuzhou, leaving Liu Bei with just a few cities. Liu Bei has reached the point of life and death. Yuan Shujun, under the leadership of Ji Ling, may be able to destroy Liu Bei directly. At this time, Lu Bu stood up again, and he became a peacemaker again, and wanted to persuade Yuan Shujun to retire, so there was a story of shooting halberds. You think that's the end of it! Not at all! Liu Bei was rescued by Lu Bu. I didn't thank Lu Bu either, his current role and Lu Bu completely fell off one by one! On the surface, he promised Lu Bu to help Lu Bu protect Xuzhou, but secretly contacted Guangling Chen Deng and Cao Cao, who was far away in Yanzhou, and gave Lu Bu a scene to besiege Xiapi! Lu Bu was almost killed by Liu Bei!
Therefore, in this troubled world where interests are the mainstay, there are no real enemies at all, only absolute interests.
"Naturally, I want to talk about peace! Mr. Zhang Zhao, aren't we talking these days! Yang Hong said to Zhang Zhao with a smile. Zhang Zhao finally couldn't help but speak first, if Zhang Zhao continued like this, Yang Hong was also very helpless, because Gan Ning's troops were about to leave Anhui City, and he wanted to go to Shouchun with Liu Mang's troops, at that time a big chip was gone, Yang Hong was very helpless, and now he was very happy to see Zhang Zhao speak first!
"Peace talks!? Hum! Zhang Zhao was angry in his heart, this is called peace talks, drinking tea for several days, sleeping, writing calligraphy, this is called peace talks? It's going to relax! Even if you go out for a walk, it's not so leisurely!
"Come, come, come! Mr. Zhang Zhao, now I, Yang Hong, represent my lord and have peace talks with Mr. Zhang Zhao! Yang Hong straightened his clothes and said to Zhang Zhaoyan, in ancient times, peace talks were a matter of hating Yan, because both sides represented their respective lords, and their words and deeds were the representatives of their respective princes, and they must not be ashamed.
"So let's get started! Mr. Yang Hong! Zhang Zhao could only endure his anger and returned the salute, and the peace talks officially began.
"Mr. Yang Hong, I want to ask what your lord's navy means!" Zhang Zhao was the first to ask, "He sometimes enters Jiangxia and sometimes returns to Anhui City, and the most recent one is even dozens of meters away from our army's navy, what does he dare to do!" I want to go to war! ”
"Go to war?!" Yang Hong smiled, and he said to Zhang Zhao, "I don't know where Mr. Zhang Zhao learned that there has been a truce between our two armies!" "Sun Ce's army attacked Lujiang, Lu Bu's army guarded Anhui City, attacked Shucheng, the two sides fought to the death, fought for so long, although they all retreated, but they never proposed a truce! In other words, we are still in a state of war, and there is nothing to talk about in the midst of war!
"Uh-huh?!" Zhang Zhao frowned, Yang Hong was right, they were really in a state of war, Zhang Zhao didn't expect that Sun Ce with an army of 100,000 would not be able to defeat a Lujiang River, you must know that Sun Ce occupied the entire Jiangdong with 3,000 foot soldiers, but now it is blocked by tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the Yangtze River, 100,000 troops, 100,000 troops. If it appears on the battlefield in Jiangxia, I'm afraid the pattern of Jiangxia will change now!
In fact, Zhang Zhao was not wrong, if the 100,000 army appeared in Jiangxia, then Jiangxia would inevitably be broken, and in the same way, those Jingzhou scholars would not be able to sit still, and they would also go everywhere to support Liu Biao. Then in the end, it will become a war between the nobles~
And these scholars sent troops to attack Lu Bu because Lu Bu couldn't get the hearts of other scholars at all, and the Wancheng scholars even created Lu Bu's rebellion, such a person, everyone was very relieved to send troops to attack him.
"Okay, even so, Mr. Yang Hong, now that I'm here, then the two of us should be in a state of truce!" Zhang Zhao looked at Yang Hong's hippie smiling face, and couldn't wait to punch it. This Yang Hong's plan is not very good, this trick is really strong.
"Yes!" Yang Hong nodded, originally Lu Bujun didn't want to fight anymore, although this time it was Sun Ce who attacked Lujiang, but don't forget that this Lujiang originally belonged to Sun Ce, and Yang Hong and their Lu Bujun only occupied other people's territory, and now if they fight, they can only cheapen Jingzhou Liu Biao and cheapen the princes of the Central Plains. The one who laughed the happiest was probably Cao Cao, he was now caught in a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, but he was afraid that he and Yuan Shao were fighting in front, and someone would raid his hometown in Xudu, Sun Ce was originally ready to do this, so Lao Cao made Ji Ce and some conspirators in Jiangdong kill Sun Ce with the help of them.
As for Lu Bu, he has a criminal record, and he once cut off Lao Cao's hometown when he attacked Xuzhou. How about that stop when Lao Cao ran out of food and grass, he ate human flesh, that station made Lao Cao miserable, if it wasn't for Lu Bu Lao Cao who had already taken Xuzhou and even now Yangzhou was also on Lao Cao's territory, how could the Jiangdong Army have a chance to cross the river! He won't fight with Liu Biao, and he can even join forces with Liu Biao to fight against Lao Cao.
It was because of Lu Bu's move that Lao Cao had recuperated for many years, which was why Lao Cao hated Lu Bu. Lu Bu and Sun Ce were the happiest at the war, Cao Cao, these two fierce tigers, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and they will inevitably have a winner. No matter who wins, there is only good and no harm to Lao Cao, Sun Ce won, there is Liu Biao of Jingzhou next to him, Liu Biao killed Sun Ce's father Sun Jian, naturally afraid that Sun Ce's Jiangdong will become strong and find trouble for himself, even if Sun Ce wins Lu Bu, he will not want to send troops to threaten Xu Du in a short time, with Liu Biao, a thug, he can be safe and sound in Cao Cao.
If Lu Bu wins, how could Sun Ce, the little overlord, send a little bit of soldiers and horses, it must be a big battle, even if Lu Bu wins, it will be a heavy loss, not to mention that Lu Bu just escaped from Xuzhou, and he doesn't have so many soldiers and horses.
The only thing Cao Cao missed was that the Lu Bu army not only won, but also won so beautifully and directly beat Sun Ce back to his hometown, only 5,000 of the 100,000 army went back, and although the three elite troops of Lu Bu's army, the black chess, the city management, and the Bingzhou wolf cavalry were all damaged, but the combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou wolf cavalry and the trapped camp is still there, and now the black chess army is also complete, and the chengguan army has joined the fresh blood of the Danyang soldiers, and it has combat effectiveness, so Lu Bu's threat is bigger again!
Lü Bujun also did not want to go to war with Sun Ce, Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, although Lü Bu coveted the territory of Jiangdong very much, there was a natural danger of the Yangtze River, and the place where it was located was rich in products. There is no shortage of food and grass! But Lu Bu's army has more than 6 armies, and the navy army only has a battalion like Gan Ning, what is enough! Moreover, there are many waterways in Jiangdong, and the land is muddy, which is very unfavorable for the cavalry, not to mention the heavy armored cavalry like the wolf riding in the state!
Now the main point of Lu Bujun's is to accumulate grain and slowly become king, he wants to watch the neighbors on the side fight each other, Sun Ce and Jingzhou Liu Biao are pinched, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are pinched, and when they fight the victory, it is time for Lu Bujun to act.
"There is no sincerity in the truce!" Zhang Zhao looked at Yang Hong and said.
"Yes!" Yang Hong was very happy, "Since Mr. Zhang Zhao sincerely wants to negotiate peace, then our Lu Bujun is not without face, I will take the place of the lord, so that General Gan Ning's army will no longer step into Jiangxia half a step!" ”
"Huh?!" Yang Hong's cheerfulness made Zhang Zhao wonder, why is this fat man so easy to speak! I promised it so quickly, I won't blow it up again!
Of course it won't be cheated again, Gan Ning's navy is going to Shouchun, this favor is not sold for nothing, now that it is sold, Zhang Zhao may be grateful, let's wait for Zhang Zhao to bleed!
