Wei Ba's face was ugly, according to Yu Ruyi's hand squeezed tightly, his knuckles were as blue as Yu Ruyi. Zhang Wen was very worried that Wei Ba would rise up for a while and smashed Li Feng's head with Jade Ruyi.

He obviously didn't expect Li Feng to make this suggestion, and he didn't know how to end it for a while. Yesterday, he said in front of everyone that only the general's orders are obeyed, and only the orders of the young generals are obeyed, and if Li Feng's proposal is rejected now, it is tantamount to breaking his word and enriching himself. refuted Li Feng's face, and naturally wanted to break with the general Li Yan.

The reason why Zhang Wen was willing to agree to Li Feng's proposal was that he hoped that Wei Ba and Li Yan would have a conflict, and at this moment, he was more nervous than Li Feng.

Li Feng was also very nervous, although he still had a smile on his face, he clearly felt Wei Ba's anger. While nervous, he had some excitement. If he can succeed this time, it will show that he has regained the initiative and will no longer let Wei Ba manipulate him. And this opportunity came from Deng Yang, who was the person next to Wei Ba himself. As for Deng Yang Weishenme, Li Feng felt that it didn't matter, maybe it was because he was not satisfied with a Taishou who had no military power, and wanted a more affordable official position, maybe he just wanted to get some benefits.

Wei Ba was silent for a long time, slowly relaxed, and said in a dry and hoarse voice: "Since the young general is willing to show grace to Wu, I don't have anything to say." However, I would like to remind the young general that if King Wu is willing to be a vassal to my Han Dynasty, it stands to reason that he will send a proton to the capital division. I heard that King Wu is in good health and will not have a problem living for another twenty or thirty years, so I suggest that the crown prince Sun Deng be taken hostage, and ask the major general to pay attention to one or two. ”

Li Feng breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what. Wei Ba finally agreed to this condition that was obviously unfavorable to him. As for whether to let Sun Deng go to Chengdu as a hostage, he didn't think it was a big problem. I heard that Sun Quan doesn't like Sun Deng at all, he likes his youngest son Sun He, and even Sun Ba, who is just five years old, is more favored than Sun Deng. Speaking of Sun Ba, there is also a rumor in Jiangdong that the reason why Sun Quan named his son Sun Ba was because he hated Wei Ba too much, so he named his son Ba, which not only meant to be angry, but also had high hopes. I hope that Sun Ba can be as domineering as Wei Ba.

"What the general said is very true. I would add this clause. Relaxed, Li Feng once again took care of everything.

Zhang Wen's mood was a little complicated. Sun Deng is hostage, the problem may not be big, but he doesn't look good at Dongwu on the face. But on the other hand. Send Sun Deng, who is inclined to the Jiangdong family, to Chengdu as a hostage. If you can have a good relationship with the Shu Han court. It may be more beneficial for Sun Deng to take over as King Wu in the future. No matter how much Sun Quan likes Sun He, he will not dare to risk the world's disapproval, not to mention that Sun Deng still has the merit of quality.

Eastern Wu proclaimed himself a vassal to the Han Dynasty. What was lost was the interests of the Sun family, but for the Jiangdong family, it was good news that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

He did not express any opinion.

……

Sun Quan jumped like thunder, swept all the things on the case to the ground, and roared.

"Zhang Wen, what benefits did you receive from Wei Ba?" Sun Quan pulled out the ring knife on his waist, strode up to Zhang Wen, and asked breathlessly: "You dare to bring such a clause to Lone, are you not afraid that Lone will cut off your head?" ”

Zhang Wen had expected it, bowed to the ground, and paused again and again.

"The king, the ministers know that they are guilty, and they dare not ask for the grace of heaven. Please ask the king Rongchen to carry the halberd and go to the battlefield, and the minister is willing to fight with Wei Ba to repay the king's kindness and redeem the crime of losing power and humiliating the country. ”

"You want to die?"

"The minister has no plan to solve the king's worries, but to die." Zhang Wen paused again, raised his head, and met Sun Quan's fire-breathing gaze: "If the king wants to fight with Wei Ba, the minister is willing to take the lead, fight in battle, and die without turning his heels, in order to repay the king." ”

Sun Quan held his breath, his teeth clenched tightly, and his cheeks bulged like iron. His cheeks twitched a few times, and he slammed the long knife on the ground, crossed his waist, and sighed as he looked up to the sky. Two lines of cloudy tears slid down his thin cheeks and dripped onto the floor tiles in front of Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen reminded him that if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can honestly sign the agreement.

Sun Quan knew that he couldn't fight, otherwise, he wouldn't have sent Zhang Wen to Changsha to meet Wei Ba at all. It's just that the figures put forward by Wei Ba are too terrifying, and the suggestion put forward by Li Tianshang is too vicious for him to accept at all, whether psychologically or strategically.

Jingzhou is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, controlling Hanshui in the north and Wuling in the south. The water division went down the river from Jingzhou, and Jiangdong had no danger to defend at all. Therefore, the struggle for Jingzhou is a strategic policy that has been implemented since Sun Jian, Sun Jian and Sun Ce struggled for more than ten years, until Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, fought for several years, Jian'an conquered Jiangxia in 13 years, and killed Huang Zu, which was regarded as the initial realization of the strategic goal, and then fought for Jingzhou with Liu Bei many times, and before and after nearly 30 years, Jingzhou was really in his hands.

Now, if he wants to give up Changsha and Nanjun, almost give up the entire Jingzhou, and return the situation to before the Battle of Chibi in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, for him, the efforts and sacrifices of more than 20 years are not all in vain?

Strategically, it was a comprehensive defeat, and psychologically it was a heavy blow, and this blow was no less than being taken away by Wei Ba the three counties of Jingzhou and the seven counties of Jiaozhou, because after all, it was a defeat in the battle, and there were victories and defeats on the battlefield, which could be lost or recaptured. This time, he took the initiative to offer it, that is, he took the initiative to admit defeat, and there was no excuse for winning it in the future. The title of vassal is not only nominal, but he has already lost psychologically. If there is a conflict with Shu Han in the future, I don't know how much resistance I will face.

Shameful.

Sun Quan was in pain, he didn't give up, and immediately asked people to write two urgent letters, which were sent to Nanjun and Yingchuan Daying respectively by fast horses, and consulted Buqi and Lu Xun for advice.

……

When Lu Xun received the urgent letter, it was midnight, dealing with military affairs for a day, Lu Xun had just stripped off and went to bed, and before he could close his eyes, Lu Lan broke in with a messenger, which surprised Lu Xun very much.

After reading Sun Quan's urgent letter, Lu Xun's eyes narrowed, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Take the messenger down to rest, I'm going to think about it."

Lu Lan didn't say much, from Lu Xun's expression, he could see that Lu Xun really needed time to think now. He arranged for the messenger. When I returned to the big tent, I saw Lu Xun looking at the map, rubbing his fingers back and forth on the map, shaking his head from time to time.

Although Lu Xun has been stationed in Yingchuan, monitoring Meng Da and Cao Wei's every move, the situation in various places is still coming to him in a steady stream, just because the distance is too long, and the lag phenomenon is more serious. At present, he got the news that the sailors sent by Wei Ba were in Jingkou, and another partial division led by Deng Ai was in Luling. Wei Ba himself led 70,000 main forces in Changsha. Zhang Cheng has been defeated and Yiyang has been surrounded.

Overall, although it is not clear about the latest trends, we can roughly feel the current predicament of Wu Jun.

"General. Does the king want to transfer you to war? ”

"Going to war?" Lu Xun turned his head and glanced at Lu Lan. There was an indescribable bitterness in the smile. "If you want to fight. I don't have to go to Changsha, I will face a fierce battle in Nanyang. ”

"Mengda?" Lu Lan was disdainful: "He is our opponent." ”

"It's not Meng Da, it's Zhuge Liang."

"Zhuge Liang?" Lu Lan was taken aback.

Lu Xun pouted. motioned to Lu Lan to look at the urgent letter that had just been opened. Lu Lan didn't care about being polite, hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and immediately gasped, and said for a long time: "Wei Ba...... 's methods are too vicious, right? ”

"You don't know until now?" Lu Xun shook his head: "This son is making rapid progress, a thousand miles a day, it's really unimaginable." We all underestimate him. ”

Lu Lan asked puzzledly, "Why did the general say this?" ”

"Can't you see that?" Lu Xun patiently explained: "Wei Ba is fighting big with a small one, adding fuel to the fire, and the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty. He gathered nearly 100,000 troops and attacked in three ways, which disrupted the deployment of our army at once, and put our Great Wu in the middle of the enemy. He single-handedly created a situation in which the state of Wu could be destroyed, would Li Yan and Zhuge Liang be indifferent? If they also want to get a piece of the pie, then the destruction of the Wu State is not just a situation, but a real possibility. ”

Lu Lan seemed to understand a little, her eyes widened like copper bells, and she blurted out: "Momentum? ”

"Yes, it is often said that the times make heroes, but he is a hero who makes the times." Lu Xun sighed lightly, unspeakably lonely. "Compared with two years ago, his realm is one level higher, and the progress is amazing. No wonder he can compete with such heroes as Li Yan and Zhuge Liang in the year of a weak crown. ”

"That'...... There's nothing we can do? ”

"There are not enough troops, and the enemy is being attacked on all sides, what can be done?" Lu Xun asked rhetorically: "The sailor is going up the river, can anyone be the enemy?" ”

Lu Lan thought about it and shook her head slowly. The sailors under the command of Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi are the most elite main forces in the Wu army's sailors, and they will be destroyed in a battle, who else can be the opponent. The warship Jishu was originally the Jishu that Wei Ba had always refused to let go, and now that he had built that kind of powerful giant ship, Wu Jun had no effective way to deal with it at all.

"Deng Ai instigated Shanyue, Zhou Yi's whereabouts are unknown, once he attacks Yuzhang, can anyone be defeated?"

Lu Lan shook her head again. At the beginning of Wei Ba's entry into Wuling, he used the name of the god general to deceive people's hearts, Wuling Man, Wuhu Man, and later Guiyang Man, Jiangxia Man, all regarded him as a real god general, Shanyue has been moved for a long time, but because of the long distance and the mountain barrier, this can not run. Now that Wei Ba has sent Deng Ai into Luling, can Shanyue still follow the wind without looking at the wind?

Shanyue's combat effectiveness, Lu Lan knows it very well, and what is even more worrying is that half of the Wu army is Shanyue, but they are not actively attached, but forced, once they encounter the army led by Deng Ai, God knows if they will turn back. To block Deng Ai, no one dares to say that they are sure.

"Li Yan is out of Yong'an, Zhuge Liang is out of Nanyang, can anyone be an enemy?"

Lu Lan's face turned pale, and he was silent for a long time, and slowly shook his head. He understood what Lu Xun meant, Wei Ba's three-way army may not be able to destroy Wu, but Wu Guo also can't do anything with his three-way army, at least it will be messed up. At this point, Li Yan and Zhuge Liang had no reason to be indifferent. Once they are moved, the state of Wu may face a real danger of national destruction.

Wei Ba's goal of building momentum has been achieved, in this case, Lu Xun did not dare to leave Yingchuan easily and move to Changsha, he wanted to watch Nanyang to the death. In other words, Sun Quan now simply did not have the extra men and horses and capable generals to deal with Wei Ba's attack.

Accepting Wei Ba's conditions, ceding Changsha and Nanjun, and claiming to be a vassal to Shu Han has become the safest choice for Wu at present.

Lu Xun pondered for half the night and replied to Sun Quan: The king wants to fight, and the minister is willing to be the vanguard, and he will not turn his heel; The king wants peace, but the minister obeys the ...... (To be continued......)
