As soon as Zhang Shuo heard Liu Bei's words, he was about to refuse. However, Zhuge Liang, who had been silent, spoke:

Liang sincerely hopes that King Qianwang can focus on the overall situation. At present, the princes of all parties in Xuzhou should be headed by Qi State. Its national strength and military strength are strong, and it is well-deserved as the overlord of Xuzhou.

If our two countries continue to fight, when the Qi State annexes Pengcheng, Xiapi and other places, it will sweep all the way south. At that time, I am afraid that we will all become fish and meat on the plate of others, and let others slaughter us.

Therefore, at present, the two countries of Qian and Shu should abandon their previous suspicions, form an offensive and defensive alliance, and communicate with each other, so that they can resist Qi in the north and Yangzhou Ming and Chu in the south!

Moreover, judging from the fact that the Qi State ignored the danger of the Qianguo and turned to attack Pengcheng. King Qi and His Excellency don't seem to have the same heart. Does the master really want to die with our country and let the Qi country benefit in vain? ”

When Zhang Shuo heard this, he felt that what Zhuge Liang said was very reasonable, and it was precisely for this reason that he took the initiative to mention the truce to Liu Bei. As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Shuo turned his head to look at Xie An beside him.

Seeing Zhang Shuo looking at him, Xie An smiled and nodded, and then said to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang: "I heard that the King of Shu has two righteous brothers who are enemies of 10,000 people, one is named Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide. One is called Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang. General Yide's courage was fortunate to be seen below. It's just that this Yun Chang General, why hasn't he appeared for so long? ”

When Zhang Shuo heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Hearing Xie An say this, he remembered that this Guan Yu seems to have never appeared again since the beginning of the withdrawal of the Shu Kingdom, Guan Yu is the core figure of the Shu Kingdom, and the sudden disappearance is probably due to some bad conspiracy.

However, as far as the naked eye can see, Zhang Shuo did not find any different changes on the faces of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

"At present, Qianguo is going to the East China Sea and preparing to invade China's coastal zone, how can it not be guarded against it in the future. Yun Chang has already been put back in advance by me. ”

"What the King of Shu said is not honest." Xie An shook his head and smiled.

"Why did An Shi say this?" Liu Bei asked pretending not to know.

According to what I know, General Yun Chang is not in Guangling at the moment, but someone has seen him in Hanjiang Town in Linhuai...... Isn't he dazzled? Xie An said to Liu Bei with a little amusement.

When Liu Bei on the side heard this, he immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, nodded in agreement, and then couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't want to Qianguo, but I know every move of my Shu Kingdom so well." It seems that Chen Jun Xie's connections are really extraordinary. ”

"The Lord of Shu has a good reputation."

Xie An nodded and chuckled: "However, as soon as the Lord of Shu said this, he was even more curious about General Yunchang's movements. ”

"Anshi, what do you mean?" Zhuge Liang on the side was no longer silent, and immediately asked Xie An directly.

"According to the contemptible opinion, the current goal of Shu is Linhuai, not my Qianguo, right?"

Xie An said, changed his words, and continued: "The Lord of Shu talks about the strength of the Qi State everywhere, but in my opinion, the strength of the Rushu State is not inferior to the Qi State. Resist the ...... of Qi I'm afraid that in the end, before the Qi State has gone south, the Shu State has already swept through the two Huai......"

Zhang Shuo listened to Xie An's analysis and couldn't help but be surprised. If it is really as Xie An said, with the power of Shu State, Linhuai Lu Bu is definitely not his opponent! At that time, the east of Shu can take Surabaya, the north can take down Pi, the sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps!

Thinking about the situation of the Qianguo again, the Eastern Jin Kingdom in the north, the Shu State in the south, and the Lao State in the northwest are not weaker than the Qianguo State. The only thing that Qianguo has a chance to seize is probably Surabaya in the southwest.

"What does the King mean?"

In terms of strategy alone, Xie An is definitely not under Zhuge Liang. Between the three words, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were speechless. Liu Bei, who was defeated, could only put his eyes on Zhang Shuo's body again.

At this time, Zhang Shuo had not yet figured out the situation. So, in the face of Liu Bei's inquiry, he directly pretended not to hear, and bowed his head to spin the orange by himself.

"Since my lord invited the king of Shu to come over to negotiate, it naturally intends to reconcile. It's just that we hope that Shu can be open and honest and show more sincerity. ”

"Six thousand stones of grain and grass, on the basis of returning all the captured armor of our side, plus a thousand black iron grade spears." Liu Bei hesitated for a moment before adding a note.

In this regard, Zhang Shuo and Xie An were still silent.

"Eight thousand stones of grain and grass! This is the limit that our country can come up with, I hope King Qianwang can consider it carefully! ”

However, Liu Bei waited for him, but he was still silent. However, Zhuge Liang spoke at the right time: "10,000 stones of grain and grass, and while returning all the captured armor of our side, I will send 1,500 black iron-grade spears and 500 pairs of black-iron-grade leather armor to Qianguo." However, the two countries must sign a treaty, and within three years, the two sides must not start a war without permission. ”

"Is this what the King of Shu meant?" Xie An glanced at it, Zhuge Liang with a solemn face, and asked Liu Bei.

"Kong Ming's meaning is the meaning of loneliness!"

After Xie An got an affirmative answer from Liu Bei, he looked at Zhang Shuo on the side, "Monarch." What do you mean? ”

"Fifteen thousand stone of food and armor and supplies for our army, which were lost to you. Plus 2,000 Black Iron Grade Spears and 1,000 Black Iron Grade Leather Armor. As long as the king of Shu is willing, our Qianguo will immediately stop the army and cease the war, and at the same time sign a non-aggression treaty with Shu. ”

Seeing Xie An's inquiry, Zhang Shuo knew that it was time for him to express his position, and immediately made the last price increase on Zhuge Liang's offer.

"Okay, according to the will of King Qian!"

After some ideological struggle, Liu Bei finally gritted his teeth and agreed with Zhang Shuo's meaning. It's not that Liu Bei's city government is not deep enough, but that Liu Bei desperately wants to break away from Donghai County and get rid of the containment of the Qianguo.

On March 22 of the first year of Wujing, under the attention of Zhuge Liang and Xie An, Liu Bei and Zhang Shuo formally signed a truce treaty before the military formations of the two countries, as well as interpreted the specific content and restrictions therein. And this treaty is called the irrigation treaty by the two countries.
