The expression on Hu Han's face became serious, and he said with a straight face: "Liu County Order, this time I came to Ancheng County to redeem Sun Shangxiang on behalf of General Taishi. ”

"Ransom"

Liu Xiu laughed and asked, "What conditions did Tai Shici give?"

Hu Han said: "Liu County ordered the release of people, and the general withdrew from Ancheng County to promise not to invade again." ”

"Hahaha"

After Liu Xiu heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

This laughter gave Hu Han goosebumps. He looked at Liu Xiu's eyes, and there was a little more solemnity. Obviously, Liu Xiu is not so easy to fool, and he will not agree to this condition.

It is not easy to redeem Sun Shangxiang.

Pang Tong's face was cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Hu Han, Tai Shici's brain was kicked by a donkey, we are normal. He led his troops to withdraw from Ancheng County, and we released Sun Shangxiang. Once Sun Shangxiang returned to Tai Shici's hands, he could wave his army to attack Ancheng County again. Such conditions, are you stupid, don't treat others as fools. ”

When Hu Han heard this, he said: "Since Liu County Decree does not agree, please ask Liu County Decree to issue conditions." ”

Liu Xiu said: "The patience of this official has always been very good. Since Tai Shi Ci didn't give the conditions, you go back and tell Tai Shi Ci and let him reconsider. Think of the right conditions, and then come to the negotiation. ”

"Sending off passengers"

Liu Xiu waved his hand, and a soldier walked in and ordered Hu Han to leave.

Hu Han arched his hand and said, "Farewell." ”

Without any hesitation, Hu Han chose to leave.

This time when he came to the county seat, Hu Han didn't have any hope. The reason why he is leaving now is to delay time and leave a certain amount of time for Zheng Zi to inquire about the news.

In the hall, Pang Tong said: "Lord, Tai Shi Ci knows that it is impossible for us to kill Sun Shangxiang, and it is impossible to do anything with Sun Shangxiang, so Tai Shi Ci is not in a hurry." ”

Liu Xiu said: "He's not in a hurry, then we'll let him be in a hurry." ”

Pang Tong said: "What is the lord going to do?"

Liu Xiu instructed: "Send someone to infiltrate Yuzhang County and spread the news that Sun Shangxiang was arrested." At the same time, it is said that the reason why Sun Shangxiang was arrested was because Tai Shici sent Sun Shangxiang to Youxian to carry out a mission, so he fell into a trap and was arrested. ”

Pang Tong's eyes flashed, and he praised: "The lord's strategy, first, can make Sun Quan worry about Sun Shangxiang's safety, and second, it can also take this opportunity to separate the relationship between Sun Quan and Tai Shici, killing two birds with one stone." ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, a smile also appeared on his face.

seized Sun Shangxiang, and the initiative in this battle was already in Liu Xiu's hands.

"Dada"

Footsteps came from outside the hall.

Huang Zhong stepped in, hugged his fists and said, "Master Xiu, I have gathered some soldiers in the past two days. The number of soldiers in the army is already close to eight thousand. ”

"Good, good. ”

Liu Xiu's eyes were full of smiles.

After the 8,000 soldiers formed a combat effectiveness, Liu Xiu attacked Yuzhang County, and the certainty was even greater.

Jiangdong Bing, military camp.

After Hu Han returned to the camp, he reported: "General, Zheng Zi stayed in Ancheng County for the time being because he wanted to find out the news. After the last general met Liu Xiu, he put forward the condition of withdrawing from Ancheng County, but Liu Xiu directly refused. ”

Tai Shi Ci said: "Liu Xiu's refusal is expected. In this way, Zheng Zi has plenty of time. Early tomorrow morning, you will visit Anseong County again. At that time, Zheng Zi should also get some news. ”

After Hu Han stepped back, Tai Shici took out a piece of paper, sharpened the ink, took out the brush, dipped it in ink and prepared to put it down. But after hesitating for a long time, he still didn't write.

Sun Shangxiang was arrested, and the matter can be big or small.

Tai Shici quickly rescued Sun Shangxiang, and he could turn big things into small ones.

If Sun Shangxiang can't be saved, the consequences will be very serious.

What Tai Shici is facing now is whether to tell Sun Quan the news. After hesitating for a long time, Tai Shi Ci said in his heart, "Wait two more days, if you can't save Sun Shangxiang, then write a letter to the lord." ”

Early the next morning, Hu Han went to Ancheng County again.

After entering Ancheng County, he avoided Liu Xiu's eyeliner and joined Zheng Zi.

Zheng Zi's face looked very solemn, and he sighed: "Old Hu, Sun Shangxiang is detained in the county government, but the specific news cannot be investigated. The guards of the county government were all Liu Xiu's soldiers, and they couldn't get in. It is impossible to rescue Sun Shangxiang alone. ”

When Hu Han learned the news, his heart went cold.

The inability to rescue Sun Shangxiang means that he must negotiate with Liu Xiu next, and he can only rely on negotiation to solve the problem. And the negotiations between the two sides are not reciprocal, Liu Xiu has the initiative and occupies an absolute advantage, and Jiangdong is completely at a disadvantage.

After Hu Han and Zheng Zi separated, they continued to the county office.

Entering the county office, Hu Han saw Liu Xiu and arched his hand: "I've seen Liu County's order." ”

Liu Xiudao: "Your Excellency went back and asked Tai Shici, is there any new condition?"

Hu Han looked very calm and said, "General Taishi learned that Liu Xianling did not agree to the previous conditions, and after thinking about it, he reformulated the conditions. As long as Liu County ordered Sun Shangxiang to be released, General Taishi would still withdraw from Ancheng County, and give Liu County 30,000 stone of grain, as well as millions of money, and even some armor and weapons. ”

Liu Xiu sneered and said mockingly: "The grain hoarded in Youxian County is hundreds of thousands of stones, and this grain is not rare in this official. As for money, there are countless counties in Youxian, and the officials don't need it. ”

Hu Han frowned, thinking of the last condition given by Tai Shici before.

Liu Xiu didn't get in on the oil, he had to convince Liu Xiu to do it.

Hu Han asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask Liu County Order, what kind of conditions do you need to be willing to release Sun Shangxiang." ”

Liu Xiu leaned forward slightly, propped his hands on the desk, and said slowly: "Let Tai Shici withdraw from Yuzhang County, and Jingzhou will send troops to take over Yuzhang County." In this way, the official promised to release Sun Shangxiang. ”

"Impossible"

Hu Han didn't think about it and refused directly.

Yuzhang County is a large county in Jiangdong, and it is a strategic place, so it is impossible to hand it over to Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders, with an indifferent expression, and said lightly: "Tai Shici doesn't agree, then there is no need to talk about it." In short, I'm not in a hurry, I'm waiting for news from Tai Shici. ”

Hu Han gritted his teeth and said: "Liu County Order, before coming, General Taishi gave the final bottom line. As long as Liu County ordered Sun Shangxiang to be released, General Taishi was willing to cede Yichun County, which bordered Ancheng County. ”

Yichun County is located in the west of Yuzhang County. Although Tai Shi Ci agreed to cede Yichun County, as long as Liu Xiu released Sun Shangxiang, Tai Shi Ci would inevitably counterattack Yichun County.

Liu Xiu's eyes narrowed, he didn't expect Tai Shici to be willing to cede the land.

It's just a county, which is not enough to make Liu Xiu tempted.

Liu Xiu knew the value of Sun Shangxiang, which was the pearl of Jiangdong. Moreover, if Sun Quan did not take Sun Shangxiang's life into account, the Sun clan itself would have infighting.

In the land of a county, it is definitely impossible to exchange for Sun Shangxiang.

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Tai Shici is only willing to cede Yichun County, and it seems that he has not yet understood the value of Sun Shangxiang." You go back and tell Tai Shici, and then send someone after thinking clearly. The next time you come, you will not be accepted without suitable conditions. ”

"Farewell"

Hu Han knew that there was no need to talk, so he got up and left.

Liu Xiu sat in the hall, thinking carefully about how to maximize Sun Shangxiang's value.

Pang Tong said: "Lord, I think that the value of leaving Sun Shangxiang may be greater." As long as Sun Shangxiang is in our hands, we can continue to use it, and let Tai Shici throw a mouse trap and dare not act rashly. ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "No matter how valuable it is, you have to gain something." However, at this stage, it is more appropriate to control it in your hands. However, Tai Shi Ci's level is not enough, and the decision power is too small, so I will wait for news from Sun Quan's level. I believe that Sun Quan will soon make a decision. ”

According to the previous arrangement, Pang Tong had already sent people to spread the news. The news of Sun Shangxiang's arrest will soon spread to Wu County, and once Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others get the news, it will cause a real sensation.

Liu Xiu is now impossible to release Sun Shangxiang.

As for Yuzhang County, Tai Shici did not have enough rights and could not agree to cede it, and the two sides could only stalemate temporarily.

"Newspaper"

Suddenly, Qiu Bao hurriedly walked in.

Qiu Bao clasped his fists and saluted, and reported: "My lord, don't drive the Iranian adults in Jingzhou." ”

"Oh, please don't do it, I'll greet it myself. Liu Xiu stood up and walked quickly towards the gate. Liu Xiu has great respect for his nationality, because he once instructed Liu Xiu. And having a good relationship with Iraq will also be of great benefit to Liu Xiu in the future.

"Master Xiu greeted him personally, and the old man didn't dare to be it. ”

When Liu Xiu walked out, Yi Yuan, dressed in a black robe, walked in. When he saw Liu Xiu coming to greet him, he also had a big smile on his face, and he was very satisfied with Liu Xiu's attitude
