Although, Zhou Yu sometimes complains about some of Sun Quan's practices, and he also has a little residual thoughts about Sun Quan's discipline. However, Sun Quan is his own sovereign in the end, and he is also the supreme of Great Wu.

When Zhou Yu sow discord and yin and yang, he also praised Liu Chan as a "generous person", how can there be someone like Zhang Xi, who comes up and directly says something "treacherous" and "capricious"? !

That's not yin and yang, that's just scolding!!

Someone scolds your lord like this in front of you, in this era of "the lord is worried about the humiliation of the ministers, and the lord humiliates the ministers to death", how can Zhou Yu not be angry, how can he still talk to you amicably?!

It is already a very restrained result to shoot the case, and not drawing the sword can be regarded as a manifestation of Zhou Yu's self-cultivation.

Zhou Yu took the case, and Zhang Xi is not used to Zhang Xi, who has experienced more than ten years of battlefield fighting, can he still be frightened by your Zhou Gongjin's behavior? !

"Gong Jin thinks, what's wrong with my words?!" Zhang Xi said unhurriedly, "Let's not mention the matter of Jiangxia for the time being, Lingling, Wuling County can also not talk about sneak attacks on public security, coercion of Jiangling, siege of Xiangyang, pile by pile, but the lord of the promise did it?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yu's momentum stagnated for a while, and then slowly began to dissipate.

There's no way, this thing is indeed not authentic for Dongwu, and what is out of the way is his Zhou Yu's reputation.

If you want to say that Zhou Yu is not dissatisfied with this at all, it is impossible.

However, on this occasion, the justification still has to be justified.

"It's not my lord's fault!" Zhou Yu sat down slowly, and explained according to the rhetoric he had thought of a long time ago, "In the previous secret agreement, your lord exchanged the land of Jiangxia for my Eastern Wu to march into Runan, and we have already done it, and it is reasonable to take it. Lingling, Wuling, the matter of Wuling, is your first withdrawal of troops, resulting in the two counties barbarians unrestrained, rampant lawlessness, the people of the two counties were forced to helpless, can only ask for help from my Dongwu, the people are willing to sacrifice their land to protect themselves, not my Dongwu for no reason. Public security matters. The public security was subordinate to Wuling County in the pre-Qin period, and since Wuling has been attached to our Eastern Wu, we want to send officials to govern it, but it is your guard who will expel our Eastern Wu officials and start military affairs. As for the matter of Xiangyang. It's that I, Dongwu, was worried that the Yingchuan Wei thieves would invade the realm, so I sent troops to deploy defenses, not wanting to cause misunderstanding by Wen Zhongye. This is not what my lord wants! ”

Zhang Xi listened to Zhou Yu's set of rhetoric, everyone is a little stupid, how can people be shameless to this point? !

Then there was a burst of angry laughter, and he asked Zhou Yu rhetorically, "Do you believe Gong Jin's words?!" ”

asked Zhou Yu directly, and kept silent.

Indeed, this set of rhetoric is too shameless, and if it is spread like this, it is to fool the people who don't understand anything, but anyone with a little brain will not believe this set.

Especially using this set to deal with the interrogation of Shu Han is somewhat insulting to the other party's IQ.

This set of fig leaf-like rhetoric, at least in front of Zhang Xi, is useless.

Therefore, Zhou Yu thought about it, and could only put his heart sideways and said bluntly, "If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed for it; In the world of great contention, if you don't advance, you will retreat. ”

In this era, if you don't eat the meat in front of you, that's really a lack of heart.

What's more, as far as the strategic idea of Soochow is concerned, ordinary people may not understand, but it is impossible for Zhang Xi not to understand. So Zhang Xi said at the beginning that he didn't want to pursue the affairs of Jiangxia, Wuling, and Lingling counties.

Because that's an obvious thing, it's strange that Soochow doesn't take these three counties.

So Zhang Xi's focus at the beginning was public security. This place, if you can, try not to lose it.

"Gong Jin's words are really just unreasonable!!" Zhang Xi nodded and continued, "The matter of Jiangxia has long been a secret agreement, and the matter of Wuling and Lingling two counties will not be investigated. However, the public security has been under the rule of Nanjun since ancient times, how can it be said that it was subordinate to Wuling in the pre-Qin period? ! ”

Bully me for not reading much, right?!

"This pre-Qin ancient book contains. It's no wonder that the chief doesn't know! Zhou Yu said a little vaguely.

When Zhang Xi heard Zhou Yu's words, he obviously planned to cheat. You're welcome at the moment, and said straight to the point.

"Today's banquet for Gong Jin, Xi just wants to ask about something. Gong Jin is still willing to abide by the secret agreement, return my Lingling, Wuling Second County, and retire from the public security?! Zhang Xi glared and said seriously.

From here on, it is official business, and it is also the biggest purpose of Zhang Xi today.

Regarding Zhang Xi's serious style, Zhou Yu also sat down slightly, and then replied, "This is not suitable for courtiers." ”

I'll go, this bastard is collapsing, hey, Zhou Yu is collapsing!!

Zhou Yu, such an elegant and elegant character, actually said such words to shirk responsibility. You are the general of Dongwu, and it can be said that you are an existence above ten thousand people under one person in Dongwu, what can you not say?!

Zhang Xi's anger suddenly came up.

"Gong Jin's words are wrong!" Zhang Xi said angrily, "At the beginning, the secret agreement was made by Gong Jin as a guarantee, and I was willing to make the exchange before I waited for it. Now that the letter is still there, Gong Jin made such a false statement, wouldn't it make the world laugh? ! ”

If you force it again, we will make your letter public, and the reputation that you Zhou Gongjin has accumulated for most of your life will be ruined in one fell swoop!!

These words somewhat poked Zhou Yu's weakness. Among the famous generals and celebrities of this year, there are a few who really don't care about their reputation.

Therefore, Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke, "Why is Yuan Chang so aggressive, aren't you afraid that my Da Wu will cooperate with Cao Wei and work together with Shu Han?!" ”

If you really dare to do that, then the two families will completely tear their faces, and when the time comes, we will be forced to have no choice, so we can only talk to Cao Wei about the possibility of cooperation.

This doesn't do you Shu Han any real good.

Zhou Yu also threatened Zhang Xi in turn.

As a result, Zhang Xi just smiled and said, "Let's not say that the Wei thieves are now trapped in the Central Plains, and they may not have the ability to threaten the Han Dynasty. It's just that Lord Wu is so capricious, I'm afraid that even the Wei thief wouldn't dare to trust Lord Wu and form an alliance with Lord Wu, right?! ”

In a word, Sun Quan's reputation is already stinking, that is, you take the initiative to come to the door, Cao Rong has to consider whether he can get benefits from cooperating with you.

After all, no one wants to be an ally with someone who likes to backstab their teammates when they're fine.

Zhou Yu was also a little speechless about this, and could only reluctantly justify, "As a monarch, he should put national affairs first, and my lord's actions are all for the Dawu Jiangshan Society. What others say, why worry! ”

This is typical in the mouth hard.

Between people, they can't be deceitful and capricious at every turn, let alone between countries. If a person has no faith, he will not stand, and once the country has no faith, it will be a matter of great chaos.

No matter from what point of view, what Sun Quan did cannot be said to be completely from the perspective of the country, it can only be said that he only cares about the present and does not care about the future.

Zhang Xi didn't want to deal with Zhou Yu, who was desperately trying to make up for his own lord, he always felt that when this guy got old, it was really a little different from when he was young, and Zhou Gongjin, who dared to lead the soldiers to the funeral, probably never got it back.

But it's not incomprehensible, after all, when a person reaches half a hundred, it is reasonable to have a slight change in a high position.

It's Zhang Xi himself, hasn't he changed a lot over the years.

But when it comes to this, today's meeting is destined to be fruitless.

If the conversation continues, Zhou Yu will keep making excuses for Sun Quan, trying to legitimize the results of the battle that Dongwu swallowed by despicable means, and it is impossible for them to spit it out like this.

And Zhou Yu talked so much before, it was nothing more than to express his attitude to Zhang Xi: although he also knew that it was shameless to do so, but for the sake of the interests of Dongwu, he Zhou Yu had to be a villain.

Nothing will come of negotiating here.

Just like what Zhou Yu said before - it is not suitable for courtiers.

Translate that sentence, in fact, it doesn't matter what we said, if you really want to resolve the matter through negotiation, then Shu Han should send an envoy to Jianye to talk to Sun Quan in person.

As a courtier, there is only one choice before the matter is really resolved.

Zhou Yu wanted to protect the territory and the people, and hold the territory that had been fought down with great difficulty.

Zhang Xi wanted to reorganize his army and strive to regain the land and people that had been robbed.

Therefore, this single knife meeting broke up unhappily.

After returning to Jiangling, Zhang Xi sent letters to both Chang'an and Chengdu on the one hand, informing them of the attitude of the Soochow side after this initial contact, and on the other hand, Zhang Xi directly ordered Shibao to start reorganizing the army for war, training the navy, and when the time was right, send troops across the river to attack the public security.

The size of the outcome at the negotiating table is sometimes directly related to victory or defeat on the battlefield.

It is not necessarily to attack the public security, but it is obvious that the current confrontation across the river cannot put enough pressure on Dongwu, so Zhou Yu will have that attitude at the single knife meeting.

Now, it's time for Zhang Xi to put pressure on Zhou Yu.

At about the same time, Zhou Yu, who returned to Xiakou, immediately ordered Zhu Ran, who was stationed in Lukou, to immediately organize the navy and strengthen the patrol along the river.

Either you don't fight, or if you want to fight, don't leave any hidden dangers.

Don't look at the single knife meeting, Zhou Yu seems to have been suppressed by Zhang Xi, but when it comes to the battlefield, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose!!
