Chapter 324: Donglai's Discussion

In the end, with Jian Yong's efforts, Lu Su offered a price on behalf of the General's Mansion.

After all, Jian Yong was only a staff member of Xuzhou Mansion, and even if Liu Bei gave him a lot of autonomy, he couldn't make decisions about some things.

In the same way, Bai Tu couldn't talk to him, and after being beaten by Bai Tu in secret, it was Lu Su and Jian Yong who met once in the name of "official business".

As for the meeting with Bai Tu, nominally, Jian Yong visited the General's Mansion on behalf of Xuzhou Mansion to congratulate the New Year.

And after Lu Su "made the offer", he had already hinted to Jian Yong that if the talks could not be reached this time, or if Guan Yu did not withdraw the army within the time limit, then there was no need to send someone to negotiate!

The price of the General's Mansion was not too much, although Jian Yong's performance was difficult and even indignant, but after Lu Su was unmoved, he did not continue to entangle.

After all, in terms of conditions, the General's Mansion still made concessions.

On the first day of February, Lu Su will go to Huangxian on behalf of Bai Tu, and if the Xuzhou Mansion agrees to the conditions of the General's Mansion, then Lu Su and Guan Yu will high-five and swear an oath in Huangcheng.

After that, the main force of the Xuzhou Army in Qingzhou needed to withdraw from Donglai County, including Guanyang County of Beihai County, which was close to the hinterland of Donglai County.

The General's Mansion will also cede Qucheng, Yexian, Dangli, Luxiang and other counties, and only retain the four counties of Huangxian, Muping, Dongmu and Changyang on the eastern coast of Donglai.

And in the area of Chengshan in Huangxian County, as well as in the area of Changguiting in Changyang County, two ports and water villages were built, and the markets near the port were all open to Qingzhou after completion, as a trading place between the General's Mansion and Xuzhou Mansion.

After completion, the general's palace will only be stationed at the port and will be stationed in the navy, and other counties in Qingzhou will control the size of the garrison, which will not exceed the normal hinterland county, and Qingzhou merchant ships can go to sea and dock from Changgui Port.

At the same time, the Xuzhou side was also forbidden to station troops in Donglai County and the area east of Jiaodong County in Beihai County, and the two sides set aside a buffer zone for each other......

Although Jian Yong couldn't guarantee it, especially when he had just put forward the conditions, he still made a dissatisfied look, but after two days of negotiations, after feeling that the general would not back down, Jian Yong still hinted that he could persuade Liu Bei before leaving.

After all, if it is really frozen, even if it is the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will only fan the flames - after the Prime Minister's Mansion Yanjin victory this time, although the limelight is unmatched for a while, it is far from being comparable to the great victory of Xuzhou Mansion in Qingzhou, but ...... In terms of the expansion of substantial territories and subjects, Xuzhou Prefecture has gained greater benefits.

Qingzhou is far less prosperous than Jizhou, the Yellow Turban Army made a lot of trouble here, and the Yellow Turban Army was coerced by the old, young and young, and was swept away by Cao Cao a few years ago.

However, what the Prime Minister's Mansion gained was only a few counties in Jizhou, with a population of less than a quarter of Jizhou, while Xuzhou Mansion got most of Qingzhou.

Of course, the number of prisoners obtained by the Prime Minister's Mansion is incomparable to that of Xuzhou Mansion, so in a short period of time, the increase in strength is not as good as that of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Jian Yong couldn't understand it anymore - all the hints of Sima Lang before, just listen to them......

What's more, now Liu Bei is still thinking about a major event, once successful, it will change the pattern of today, in general...... The Xuzhou Mansion did not want to make a fuss at this time and turn against the General's Mansion.

Similarly, the reason why Bai Tu handed over this matter to Lu Su was also to complete this matter, taking into account the "historical nature" of Lu Su and Guan Yu.

In the history without the White Rabbit effect, when Lu Su served as the governor, Jiangdong maintained a relatively good relationship with Guan Yu, who was in Jingzhou, and there was not much friction.

In the romance, Guan Yu went to Lu Su's appointment alone, and in history, "going to the meeting alone" was Lu Su in front of the battle, asking Guan Yu to station troops a hundred steps away from each other, and the two stepped forward to talk one-on-one......

In the end, he and Guan Yu bitterly discussed the pros and cons, and reached an agreement on the issue of confronting Cao Cao, and during the period when Lu Su was in charge of the "line" with Jingzhou, the two sides could not afford to fight.

It is also this consensus that made Sun and Liu, after the Battle of Chibi, both accumulate strength, laying the foundation for the future establishment of the Three Kingdoms.

It wasn't until the hawkish Lu Meng took over that Lu Su was in harmony with Guan Yu when he was there, and he advocated attacking Jingzhou, and he soon discovered the opportunity......

Bai Tu summed up that for a general with strong subjective initiative like Guan Yu, just the order of his eldest brother Liu Bei may not be able to restrain Guan Yu, and Liu Bei is far away in Xudu, and there is a chance that there will be "flexibility" when giving orders.

In contrast, it is better to let Lu Su high-five him and swear an oath - this kind of ritual behavior can stimulate Guan Yu's "righteousness" and then restrain his behavior.

If it was Gan Ning who went to make an alliance with Guan Yu......

With the nature of the two of them, maybe they will mess things up!

Jian Yong didn't wait for the Chinese New Year to resign to Bai Tu, I don't know if he was really anxious, or if he was still a little dissatisfied with the General's Mansion.

However, Bai Tu was still very considerate, and sent hundreds of catties of pork and sauce for him to take away, which was a gift to Xuzhou Mansion and Liu Bei.

This year's New Year's Day banquet in the General's Mansion was a little colder, and Bai Tu specially invited the two old ladies of the Sun family, as well as the families of many other front-line generals, to the banquet of the General's Mansion.

For the "no-show" of the white picture. The two old ladies also understood, although they had some resentment, but they were also for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and even suspected that the two of them were not dedicated to the front line in order to "escape marriage"!

If the war in Jiangxia is still unfavorable next year, the two old ladies are afraid that they will be the first to report to the Privy Council, and the front-line generals have a bad fighting attitude......

Lu Su specially prepared to set off for Qingzhou after the New Year - last year, the Privy Council, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials...... Everyone danced happily, obviously the project of our Ministry of Civil Affairs is the foundation of everything, why don't they understand?

This year can be regarded as a lesson for you to learn a lot!

Lu Su asked himself that the Ministry of Civil Affairs was also very powerful last year, but it was covered up by the Privy Council and the Ministry of Industry, and this year ...... Not only is there a credit for promoting the essence of Shennong, but also the progress of large-scale projects in various places, and the index of road and bridge repair assigned to various counties have also increased greatly, but other ministries have fallen into bottlenecks, and finally it is time for him to raise his eyebrows.

For this reason, Lu Su also wrote a special manuscript to praise the Ministry of Civil Affairs at the New Year's Day banquet, and at the same time did not forget to encourage other ministries with true feelings, which made the heads of other ministries pout.

……

Compared with the "open and secret fighting" of the General's Mansion, the New Year's Day banquet of the Xudu Imperial Court can be said to be "harmonious".

Because Cao Cao returned from a great victory, Xuchang's anti-Cao voice was dumb.

Yue Cavalry Captain Wang Fu and Wu Shuo, all of whom were arrested and imprisoned in the name of slandering the prime minister!

If it weren't for Liu Bei's scruples, Cao Cao would even want to do it with Dong Cheng and others, but unfortunately Dong Cheng has also been instigated recently and has not found a suitable excuse, Cao Cao is also worried that Liu Bei will disobey him for the sake of the majesty of the royal family.

It's just that at the New Year's Day banquet, Cao Cao not only secretly regarded himself as the host of the banquet, but also in the second half of the year, when the ministers toasted Liu Xie and drank Yuan Rebellion's defeat, Cao Cao pretended to be drunk and raised his glass......
