Chapter 227: War and Peace
I really don't blame Zhou Yu and Lu Su for being angry, it's really Zhang Xi's method of secretly changing concepts is too disgusting.
Let Zhang Xi make such a metaphor, Sun Quan has become the villain who covets beautiful jade, disregards friendship, and breaks into other people's mansions to take things.
Obviously, Sun Quan sent someone to ask for it first, but Liu Bei didn't give it, so Sun Quan sent troops to attack.
Now it was secretly changed by Zhang Xi, and it became that Liu Bei originally wanted to give it, but it was delayed by things for a while, and as a result, Sun Quan couldn't wait and sent troops to attack him.
And the most disgusting thing is that this is a secret agreement, and there is no document to testify, once the question of who comes first and who comes after is seriously broken, it depends on how people in the world believe it.
Obviously, it was his own reason, but he was stunned to let Zhang Xi say that his side was a villain who disregarded the friendship of the alliance.
Disgusting is really disgusting, Zhou Yu and Lu Su are both disgusted.
Guan Yu is happy now.
Although it is said that our second master attaches great importance to love and righteousness, the second master is also a guard, and he is not the kind of reckless man who only knows how to fight, and there is no shortage of wisdom in this regard.
Therefore, Zhang Xi used this kind of concept to secretly change the concept, although the second master doesn't like it very much, as long as it is beneficial to himself, the second master will be happy.
Even the second master even stepped up and said, "That's the reason, my lord is in a dilemma for a while, as an ally, General Sun should have been considerate, but now he is fighting each other, but I don't know who is unreasonable first?!" ”
Zhou Yu was really angry, but Lu Su finally calmed down.
"If it is as the general said, I think it is caused by a momentary misunderstanding." Lu Su looked at Zhang Xi and Guan Yu, with a gloomy face, and said, "Now that Liu Yuanjun can lead the troops to Wuling in person, I think that the matter of Yizhou has been calmed down, so why not invite Liu Yuanjun and my lord to hand over the affairs of the two counties in front of tens of thousands of soldiers, and avoid speculation by people in the world." ”
Even if it was a misunderstanding before, now that you Liu Bei have come to Wuling County in person, you can't say that you haven't completely pacified Yizhou, right?!
In that case, let's settle it, and it's settled now.
As soon as Lu Su said this, Guan Yu froze, and then looked at Zhang Xi.
Zhang Xi shook his head slightly and said, "Definitely." The land of Jingzhou is the foundation of our lord, even if Yizhou is uneven, my lord does not dare to make Jingzhou lose, so I ventured to meet with General Sun and ask the reason. Besides, now that Xiahou Yuan is in Longshang, he may enter Hanzhong at any time, how can he say that Yizhou is safe? ! ”
"What does this mean?!" Zhou Yu couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Hanzhong is uncertain, Yizhou is uneasy?!" If your lord doesn't take Hanzhong for a day, will it be possible that he won't fulfill his contract for a day?! ”
Hawkers, that's what Zhang Xi is waiting for.
"How could it be!" Zhang Xi smiled at Zhou Yu and said, "With the wisdom of the governor, how can you not see that Hanzhong is the barrier of Yizhou, and my lord will take it sooner or later." After taking Hanzhong, our lord will fulfill the secret covenant and deliver the two counties to Jiangdong. I don't know what the two of you think?! ”
Good guy, one pole to the back of Ma Yue.
It's true that Hanzhong is the barrier of Yizhou, but you have to take Hanzhong, do you want to say that Longyou is the barrier of Hanzhong? !
If you go on like this, there's no end?!
Lu Su can also see that Zhang Xi is here to mess around today, so he didn't want to negotiate well.
Therefore, Lu Su stood up directly and said, "If it is as the Yuan Chang said, you and I don't need to talk about the battlefield, and we will cherish each other!" ”
After speaking, Lu Su shook his hand and was about to leave the account.
Zhang Xi was really surprised, why is this Lu Su so rigid, on the contrary, it is Zhou Yu, who seems to be quite easy to fool. But there's no time to think about these issues now.
"Brother Zijing, come slowly, come slowly!" Zhang Xi also hurriedly got up, blocked Lu Su's way, and said with a smile, "Why do you have to do this?!" ”
Lu Su still had a gloomy face, and arched his hand and said, "Neither the Yuan Chang nor the prince has the heart to negotiate peace, so why waste time here?!" ”
Zhang Xi was still smiling, nodded, and then said to Lu Su, "Brother Zijing's words are reasonable, but Brother Zijing and the governor have a preface, how can there be peace talks?!" ”
You were talking nonsense before.
Now that the two armies are facing each other, you are still talking about secret agreements, is it really a peace talk?!
It's just an attempt to label us as a non-covenanter.
Neither side has good intentions, but now, there is enough bickering on both sides, so it's time to talk about something practical, right?!
Zhang Xi arched his hand at Lu Su and sat in a "please" posture.
Lu Su hesitated for a moment, and finally did not pay the account, but sat back in front of his desk, with a straight face, and said, "The Sun-Liu alliance should be mutually beneficial, and the two families will jointly fight against Cao." Liu Zhijun attacked Yizhou, and my Jiangdong also fulfilled the contract without interference, and now, it is time for Liu Zhijun to fulfill the contract and compensate with the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang in Jiangdong. ”
At this time, Zhang Xi first glanced at Guan Yu, and after getting Guan Yu's eyes, he said with confidence, "My lord has no intention of breaking the contract, but General Sun is too eager and sent troops to fight, which makes my lord angry, but how to talk about this matter?!" ”
"There's not much to talk about!" Zhou Yu sneered, interjected and said, "The land we have already captured should belong to my lord, and the other places can be discussed again." ”
"General Zhou is so domineering?!" Guan Yu's eyes opened slightly, looked at Zhou Yu, and said, "If this is the case, a certain proposal to postpone the peace talks, and after my lord sends troops to recover the land, I will talk about the covenant later, how about it?!" ”
"If the prince has this intention, I will accompany him." Zhou Yu also looked at Guan Yu in return, and said, "This matter, this is what my lord intended, if Xuande Gong is unwilling, then see each other on the battlefield!" ”
After speaking, Zhou Yu got up, saluted, and then led the troops to leave.
The conditions of both sides have been put forward, so this first meeting is really over.
Guan Yu and Zhang Xi also returned to the public security city with Jiangdong's conditions, met Liu Bei, who had already arrived, and reported the matter to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei didn't dare to slack off, and pulled Guan Yu, Zhang Xi, Fa Zheng, and Pang Tong to discuss together.
Actually, in all fairness, the conditions proposed by Jiangdong this time are really not harsh, they are just to let Liu Bei fulfill the promise he originally promised.
Moreover, the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang, except for a part west of Xiangtan, are already under the control of the Jiangdong Army, and it is definitely unrealistic for you to expect these Jiangdong Army to spit out again.
But Liu Bei still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
Why did you attack Jiangdong first, and I had to cede the land to you in the end, if this is spread, I can't say that I am cutting the land and seeking peace?!
If you really want to fight, it's really hard to say, where is whose territory?
Again, when you changed the land before, you Jiangdong took one and a half counties from Jingzhou, and now you are going to take one and a half counties from Jingzhou, and there are only a few counties in total.
Good guy, Liu Bei felt that he had worked hard to defeat the four counties of Jingnan, but now Jiangdong wanted to divide one and a half counties without spending any cost, just for a reason of "not making trouble", Liu Bei really couldn't turn this corner.
Unlike Sun Quan, who received his brother's gift package, Liu Bei's current territory was all shot down by himself, and he had been floating for half his life, so he cherished these lands very much.
Therefore, Liu Bei obviously disagreed with Jiangdong's opening of such a lion.
Since he didn't agree, then Fa Zheng asked Liu Bei if he wanted to march into Xiangtan and officially start a fight with Jiangdong? !
As soon as Fa Zheng asked, Liu Bei hesitated again.
And at this time, Pang Tong spoke.
Either fight or fight, there must be a clear goal, if you can't quickly decide the strategic direction, then they will add a lot of scruples to the strategists.
This kind of thing needs Liu Bei to decide early.
At this time, Liu Bei especially hoped that Zhuge Liang would be by his side.
Every time like this, Zhuge Liang will give himself reliable advice, and if even Zhuge Liang can't give his own reliable advice, it is often when there is a problem with the matter itself.
But now that Zhuge Liang is not by his side, Liu Bei does not have the time to write to Zhuge Liang to ask about the situation, so he must make his own decision.
Liu Bei thought about it, but still felt that Jiangdong's behavior could not be agreed, once this group of people became a habit, then next time if Yun Chang attacked Xiangyang, would they also have to take "not making trouble" as a condition to claim Wuling and Lingling two counties? !
Originally, as an ally, "not to make trouble" should be an obligation, how can it be mentioned as a condition?!
Since Jiangdong can brazenly use this as a reason to ask for the state and county, it means that they don't regard me Liu Bei as a real ally at all.
So what else is there to say.
Beat!!!
Just when Liu Bei made up his mind, Guan Yu and Zhang Xi both went to reorganize their armies for battle. News came from Yizhou.
Cao Cao personally led an army of 200,000 and arrived in Chang'an.
It's a big deal.
