After Nan Ye and Jian Yong finalized their cooperation intentions, they naturally had the ambition to discuss the details. Immediately afterwards, Nan Ye met with Sun Quan's envoy Lu Su. Compared with Liu Bei's generosity and boldness, Sun Quan is obviously a little childish. This made Lu Su, who was originally bold-hearted, a little shy back when negotiating with Nan Ye, and seemed scheming.

After the same greetings, Lu Su said tentatively: "My lord sent Su as an envoy to come for Cao Pi's usurpation of the emperor." The national teacher was loyal to the Han family, and the name of benevolence and righteousness spread far and wide, and Zhang Jiao, Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and other unrighteous people were all defeated at the hands of the national teacher. Presumably, Cao Pi's usurpation of rebellion, the national teacher will not ignore it, and will definitely raise the teacher to rebel and be ashamed of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. ”

Nan Ye knew that Lu Su's trip actually had the same purpose as Jian Yong, but as soon as Jian Yong came up, he made it clear that Liu Bei had a rebellious heart and asked Nan Ye for help, which can be said to have lowered his posture. And Lu Su didn't say what Sun Quan's attitude was, but first provoked Nanye to raise troops. From the perspective of negotiation skills, Lu Su's practice of not revealing his hole cards is indeed clever. However, it may not be suitable for Nan Ye's character of eating soft and not hard.

Since Lu Su tried first, Nan Ye pretended to be stupid and said to Lu Su: "What Zijing said is extremely true! Cao Pi's disobedience and evil deeds are deeply hated, and I really have a heart of rebellion. How can I be busy with affairs under my rule, and I have few soldiers under my command, I have my heart but no power. I still hope that my son is respectful. ”

Lu Su was stunned when he heard this, judging from the tone coming out of the newspaper, Nan Ye should be eager to raise troops on the same day, why don't you want to send troops when you listen to this tone? Different from Liu Bei's negotiation strategy of asking for help, Sun Quan hoped that Nan Ye would take the initiative to send troops to take advantage of the request, so that Sun Quan could ask Nan Ye for tolls and strive for as many benefits as possible. But if Nan Ye had no intention of sending troops, there would be no way to talk about all this.

Lu Su organized the language and said: "What the national teacher said is bad! In the past, under the rule of the national teacher, there was only one place in Jiaozhou, and the soldiers were less than 10,000, so they were still able to put the righteousness first and raise troops to rebel. Now that the national teacher is sitting in the land of several states, with a million armor, how can he say that there are few soldiers? Recently, I heard that the national teacher was writing books behind closed doors, how could he be busy? It can't be that the national teacher is greedy for the beauty of his wife and concubine at home, and forgets the righteousness of the world, right? ”

Hearing Lu Su's sharp words, the Chinese Wu of the palace accused Nan Ye of being angry. Nan Ye said disapprerovingly: "It's not that I don't know loyalty, it's actually that the soldiers under my command haven't fought for several years, the swords and guns are in storage, the horses are put in Nanshan, and the grain, grass and equipment are not complete." If the army is raised today, without three and five years of training soldiers and preparing food and grass, I am afraid it will be difficult to make the trip. ”

Lu Su is not a fool, as soon as he heard what Nan Ye said was an excuse, he couldn't help frowning. At this time, he also realized that Nan Ye did not want to send troops, but waited for him to beg him to send troops so that he could seize the initiative. Lu Sulai's purpose was to fight for the interests of Dongwu, how could he give the initiative to Nanye? But if the cooperation continued in such a stalemate, it would come to an impasse, so Lu Su could only continue to stimulate Nan Ye and said: "The national teacher is also a person who knows the soldiers, and it can be described as a noble and fast soldier. Now Cao Pi's usurpation and rebellion are shocked all over the world, and the people's hearts have not yet been attached. If you don't send troops at this time, wait for three years and five years, and make Cao Pi sit firmly on the throne, I am afraid that the national teacher will be difficult to win. ”

Nan Ye listened to Lu Su's repeated agitation, and knew that Sun Quan's plan was to let himself take the lead, and he would take advantage of him in the back, which was much more insincere than Liu Bei. However, I have to say that it is better to unite and have a strong strength, and it is better to have one more ally than one more enemy, so Nan Ye still had to continue the topic and said to Lu Su: "Zi Jing's words are not unreasonable, but I don't border each other with Cao Pi's land, so how can I send troops to attack each other?" ”

Lu Su heard Nan Ye's tone change and said with joy in his heart: "This matter is not difficult!" The national teacher can borrow the road from the territory of King Wu, but the army crosses the border, and it is inevitable that there will be soldiers and soldiers who are lawless and horses stepping on seedlings, and the national teacher will compensate some money. ”

"Haha~" The palace couldn't help but laugh out loud when he heard what Lu Su said. Liu Bei also provided grain and grass by the way, but Sun Quan asked for money instead, which was too stingy.

Lu Su didn't know why everyone was laughing, and couldn't help but look at Nan Ye. Nan Ye also felt funny in his heart, so he simply joked with Lu Su: "Zhongmou and Zijing really make money, and they still want to charge me tolls?" It's just that I'm very poor, and I'm afraid I won't be able to get money to get through. ”

Lu Su pouted when he heard Nan Ye crying, he believed anyone in this world who said he had no money, but Nan Ye said that he had no money Lu Su didn't believe it. However, this toll is just a small amount of money, and it is just a matter of whether to collect it or not, and Lu Su is also rare to be generous and said: "The borrowing of the road is still negotiable, and the national teacher has little money, so it is okay not to pay it." Dare to ask when the national division will send troops? ”

Nan Ye asked Lu Su rhetorically: "If I send troops, will King Wu send troops to rebel together?" ”

Lu Su replied: "My lord also has a loyal heart, so he will naturally help the national teacher to rebel. It's just that the number of troops to be sent is still to be discussed. If the national teacher has few soldiers and is unable to occupy the city of Cao Pi's territory, my lord will send more troops. If the army of the country has more soldiers, my lord will send fewer troops. ”

As soon as Nan Ye heard it, he understood that Sun Quan's iron rooster wanted to occupy the land of the two families to attack without pulling out a dime. Speaking of this, Nan Ye was also impatient, and said with a straight face: "Zi Jing replied to Zhongmou, and said that I don't have to worry about King Wu to cross the border and send troops." When the time comes, I will go north to join forces with Liu Xuande to fight against him. Whether the king of Wu sent troops or not was up to him. After that, he ordered to send off the guests left and right.

Lu Su only woke up at this time that Liu Bei had also come to form an alliance with Nan Ye, and he was shocked in his heart. If there is no Liu Bei, no matter how harsh Sun Quan's conditions are, Nan Ye will have to agree in order to crusade against Cao Pi. But with Liu Bei, it's different, Nan Ye can completely cooperate with Liu Bei and leave Dongwu aside, then the situation in Dongwu will be passive.

What Lu Su said before was to try his best to fight for benefits according to Sun Quan's instructions, but at this time, as soon as he heard Liu Bei's involvement in this matter, Lu Su knew that Sun Quan's strategy had completely failed. At this time, Lu Su's talent and boldness were revealed, and he did not retreat: "National teacher, listen to me again!" ”

Nan Ye waved his hand, and ordered the left and right to retreat: "I don't know what else Zijing has to say?" ”

Lu Su said: "When Su came, I didn't know that the envoys of the king of Guanzhong were also there, since the king of Guanzhong also had the intention of sending troops, why didn't the three of my families work together to fight against the rebellion and conform to the people's wishes?" ”

Nan Ye nodded and said: "Such a righteous thing, if it can be like the time of Chibi, it is also a beautiful talk to gather the strength of the three families to break Cao." It's just that I don't know who is the leader of the alliance? ”

Lu Su knew that Dongwu had become a weak party at this time, if he didn't respect Nan Ye as the leader of the alliance and listened to Nan Ye's orders, I was afraid that Sun Quan would not be able to catch up with this attack on Wei, not to mention eating meat and drinking soup was delusional. So Lu Su said decisively: "Since the three families are in Jiaozhou, they naturally respect the national teacher as the leader of the alliance and listen to the orders of the national teacher." ”

Hearing this, Nan Ye slapped the table and said, "Okay! Since it is from me, then please go back and tell King Wu. The three families each raised an army of 100,000 and gathered under the city of Xuchang to discuss Cao Pi. ”

What else is there to say when Lu Su heard this? Now that the position of the leader of the alliance has been given to Nan Ye, Sun Quan's little caution is useless. Lu Su and Guo Jia discussed the specific details of the army before leaving, and he wanted to tell Sun Quan the news as soon as possible.

When Liu Bei and Sun Quan received Nan Ye's reply, Nan Ye's 100,000 Jiaozhou soldiers had already arrived in Jingzhou. It's not that Nan Ye's movements are fast, but that Nan Ye's troops at this time are mainly deployed on the front line of Sili, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou to prevent the three soldiers and horses from attacking, so Nan Ye can transfer troops from Jingzhou, which is naturally very convenient.

The news brought back by Jian Yong was not much different from what Liu Bei expected, and Liu Bei immediately ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to reorganize their troops and go to Xuchang. The news that Sun Quan got was quite different from what he imagined, but he also knew that if he didn't listen to Nan Ye's orders, he would only be able to do it alone, so it would be better to attack Cao Pi together, after all, this was a bigger certainty, so he also reorganized his troops and set off.

When Cao Pi heard that the three princes were moving together and were going to crusade against him, he panicked at that time. Gathered the generals to discuss: "I have succeeded the Han Dynasty, and the three thieves of Nanye, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan did not want to surrender respectfully, but instead raised troops to attack, how should this be good?" ”

Don't look at the crowd of civil and military people who were very happy when Cao Pi usurped the throne, but at this time, the three soldiers and horses couldn't help but panic when they arrived, and the discussions in the hall were chaotic. There are those who persuade Cao Pi to drive the expedition in person, those who persuade Cao Pi to give up Xuchang, and those who persuade Cao Pi to send envoys to sue for peace.

Cao Pi frowned when he saw such a chaotic scene, no matter what the major events were before, Xun Yu was in charge of the court, and he had never been so chaotic. However, because Xun Yu did not approve of Cao Pi's move to be the emperor, Cao Pi angrily belittled Xun Yu and went home. However, Cao Pi reinstated Xun Yuguan, but Cao Pi did not want to lose that face, and could only watch the chaos of the Korean Chinese martial arts.

Cao Pi was not the only one in the hall who thought of Xun Yu, and Sima Lang reminded him: "Why didn't Your Majesty summon Wen Ruogong to ask about the plan?" ”

Cao Pi originally couldn't pull his face to invite Xun Yu into the court, but as soon as Sima Lang mentioned it, Cao Pi had a step, and said happily: "What Aiqing said is extremely true!" I don't know who wants to go? ”

Dong Zhao came out of the class and said: "Weichen is willing to go." ”

Cao Pi nodded, and asked Dong Zhao to invite Xun Yu. Dong Zhao went fast and came back quickly, but he didn't bring Xun Yu back. Cao Pi couldn't help but ask, "Where is Xun Lingjun?" ”

Dong Zhao said embarrassedly: "Wen Ruo said that he was sick at home and couldn't enter the court. ”

Cao Pi secretly hated in his heart when he heard this, but he said: "I am ashamed of Xun Lingjun." ”

Dong Zhao said: "Although Wen Ruogong is seriously ill and cannot enter the court, he has a letter dedicated to His Majesty. ”

Cao Pi heard the words and said happily: "Why didn't you say it earlier? Hurry up. ”

Dong Zhao didn't dare to slack off and submitted the letter. It is said to be an epistle, but in fact it is only three sentences. The first sentence: Send the general to Xuchang to help Wen You defend the city. The second sentence: If the Duke of Shanyang goes to the north, he will not be obtained by the three families. The third sentence: Quickly recruit Sima Zhongda to return to the court.

Cao Pi was overjoyed when he saw the plan, Li Ru had defended Xuchang for many years, but there was a lack of generals around him, and this first plan could make Xuchang worry-free. After Liu Xie was demoted to the Duke of Shanyang, the fief was in Yanzhou, and the second plan was to transfer Liu Xie, so as not to be re-established as the emperor by the income of the three families. And this third plan is a double insurance, regardless of whether the first two plans are successful or not, Sima Yi can still preside over the overall situation.
