Chapter 124
When he came to the city, Zhao Tong was waiting outside, and Ma Chao asked, "Who is here?"
Zhao Tong replied, "Mr. Xuancheng Hou Zhuge Yu!"
"Zhuge Jin?" Ma Chao rubbed his chin, he originally wanted to teach a lesson first, but it was Zhuge Liang's brother who came, and it was really difficult to make a move
Mei Changsheng nodded and said, "It seems that Dongwu is still a little afraid, or he wouldn't have sent the elder brother of the military division, so we won't be embarrassed by him!"
After a short time, when I came to the house, Dongwu came and saw a total of five people, among them, the people were dressed differently, their appearance was sour and their cheeks were slight, although Hu Su was not as much as Zhuge Liang, but his facial features were still somewhat similar, it should be Zhuge Jin
Zhao Yun got up and introduced the two sides, Mei Changsheng and Ma Chao stepped forward to salute, except for Zhuge Jin, he had never heard of these people, and they should all be followers
Zhuge Jin couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Zhao Yun and Ma Chao's demeanor, just the temperament of these two people, there were few people in Dongwu who could compare, and then saw Mei Changsheng's smiling expression, and for no reason he had less confidence in this mission
Zhao Yun waited for everyone to sit down before asking, "Brother Xiao Yu came to our army this time, what is the matter?"
Zhuge Jin saw Zhao Yun go straight to the topic, was stunned, and asked, "Why don't you see Uncle Huang?"
Zhao Yun smiled faintly and asked rhetorically, "Why does Brother Xiao Yu think that the main guild is in the army?"
Zhuge Jin was stunned again, and secretly asked in his heart Could it be that the information was wrong, but he smiled and said, "I heard that this time it was the emperor's uncle who personally set out to fight, and I thought it was because of the misunderstanding of Jingzhou, and Wu Hou sent a special party to discuss."
Guan Ping shouted angrily on the side, "That is, if Mr. comes, if he changes someone else, I will be the first to take his head!"
Zhuge Jin couldn't imagine that the resentment of the Shu Han generals was so great, seeing Guan Ping's expression, he guessed that Guan Yu might really be injured, and said with a strong smile, "The little general should not be angry, and the incident in Jingzhou was also General Guan's disagreement with the marriage beforehand, which made me have doubts in Dongwu, and Lu Meng was young and vigorous, so it was a big mistake."
Mei Changsheng chuckled when he heard this, "Everyone knows people, and Mr. doesn't need to explain more, my father said, Jingzhou was originally borrowed from Dongwu, originally Yizhou was pacified, and Hanzhong was gained, and there is a foothold, and I plan to hand it over to you at the end of this year—we, I didn't expect that you Dongwu would break the covenant, secretly attack, and meet our army Ping-pong, if I hadn't risked my life to save me, I'm afraid my second uncle and Guan Ping wouldn't be able to return to Chengdu now, right?"
Zhuge Jin couldn't imagine that Mei Changsheng wouldn't deal with him at all, so he left no room for words, so he had to say, "Now my lord also knows the seriousness of this matter, so he sent him to reconcile!"
"Reconciliation?" Zhao Yun squinted at Zhuge Jin, his expression did not move, "I don't know how Wu Hou wants to reconcile?"
Zhuge Jin replied, "Marquis Wu is leaving, his wife has been home in Eastern Wu for a long time, and now she misses returning, my lord is willing to send her back to Shuzhong, and all the captives and officials in Jingzhou will be released."
Observing the expressions of Zhao Yun and the others, Zhuge Jin continued, "The arrest of General Guan this time was done by Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong without authorization, and finally at the behest of our lord, now these two have been beheaded by the general, and the people hated by General Guan are nothing more than Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, Wu Hou has ordered someone to escort him back and hand them over to the emperor's uncle!"
Guan Ping—Listen, gritting his teeth, and asked loudly, "Where are these two dog thieves now?"
"Outside the city, guarded by our soldiers!" Zhuge Jin replied
Zhao Yun nodded slightly, turned around and instructed Guan Ping and Guan Xing, "Your two brothers go to hand over the manpower, Mi Fang and Fu Shiren, the two dog thieves, don't hurt those people's lives first, and escort them back to Chengdu to be handed over to the lord for disposal!"
Guan Ping and Guan Xing agreed, and Zhuge Jin instructed his subordinates to follow to hand over the hostages, before turning his head and asking, "Since Uncle Huang is not in the army, I don't know who is in charge of this matter?"
Zhao Yun sneered, and said in a deep voice, "Yun was ordered to go on the expedition, the lord has already explained, Dongwu has reversed his word, treacherous, and the sneak attack on Jingzhou is really hateful, General Yun Chang was seriously injured and bedridden, this hatred is difficult to eliminate, since Dongwu has betrayed the alliance, it is to deceive me There is no one in Shu, if you don't set foot in Dongwu, won't you be laughed at by the people of the world?"
Zhuge Jin - Listening, he stood up anxiously, hugged his fists and said, "General Xiaolong thinks twice, Shu and Wu are dependent on each other, - once they fight each other, wouldn't it make Cao Jun get cheap, Wu Houji then regretted it, sent back his wife and hostages, escorted Mi Fang and the two, it shows sincerity, I hope that the general can return to the emperor's uncle, you and I will get back together"
Zhao Yun smiled contemptuously and said lightly, "Since you understand that it is a tooth face, how can you still ask me for ping?" It's clearly deceiving me, and there is no one in Shu!"
Standing up, pointing outward, the momentum of looking at the world naturally spontaneously, and said loudly, "Sir must have also seen it, my lord sent an army of 700,000 to this point, it is by no means child's play, and he must see the difference before he can stop ping-pong."
Zhuge Jin was shocked when he heard this, "The Shu army is pouring out, aren't you afraid that Cao Ping will sneak attack Hanzhong again?"
Zhao Yun said with a smile, "If Cao's army attacks Hanzhong, as long as the military division goes to sit in the town, it will be difficult for him to advance an inch, and our army will pacify Dongwu, go down the river, and go straight to Huanglong, pointing to wait for it, but if Cao's army can't go west, but seeing that Eastern Wu is weak, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be moved, and he will also come to share the cup!"
Zhuge Jin's face changed again, how did this matter develop towards the worst outcome that those people expected? Hurriedly said, "The general must not be reckless, Cao Wei is powerful, and he is powerless to resist alone!"
—Ma Chao next to him laughed, pointed to a few people in Dongwu, and said proudly, "Mr. Zhuge don't say more!" If you understand how powerful it is, how can you stab you in the back? I'm going to Xiliang Iron Riding to the Pavilion without saying anything, let's fight to the death, sir, please go back quickly!"
Zhuge Jin was really nervous this time, and now the only hope is to persuade those people to return to Liu Bei, seeing that Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are the main battle faction, so he had to say, "The matter is big, please also ask the two generals to return to Uncle Huang, and then make a decision!"
Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said slowly, "But...... If Wu Hou is sincere, he will ask Mr. to go back and tell Wu Hou that the land of Jingzhou can not be recovered, and it can be regarded as borrowing and repaying! But attacking my Ping Pong Horse, the damage is heavy, it may not be able to be left alone, and we have been in operation in Jingzhou for many years, how can we give it away, but these losses have to be repaid by Dongwu!"
Zhuge Jin heard that there was still room for him, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know how the general will repay the law?"
Zhao Yun didn't actually think about it, Liu Bei also said at the time that it depended on the situation, and he didn't have specific instructions, but now when he talked about this, he didn't understand what to say, so he had to look at Mei Changsheng next to him, "Xiaoyi, you see ......."
Mei Changsheng groaned for a moment and said with a smile, "In order to show our sincerity, and not to embarrass you, let Marquis Wu send Jingzhou's annual tax money and grain!"
Mei Changsheng said it lightly, but the people around him were shocked, not to mention Zhuge Jin and a few people, even Zhao Yun looked at Mei Changsheng in disbelief, Jingzhou is the land of fish and rice, and the money and grain are sufficient, according to Guan Yu's report half a year ago, Jingzhou's taxes in the year are basically worth the income of the entire Xichuan year
What's more, after the destruction and attrition of this war, Jingzhou has no harvest this year, and Soochow still has to do a good job in post-war development and pacifying the people.
Zhuge Jin came back to his senses for a long time, and said with a wry smile, "The general is laughing, if so, how should I return to Wu Hou?"
