Although Yi was authorized by Liu Biao to ask for Jingnan and participate in negotiations, he did not have the final decision-making power after all.

He thought that he had done his best to negotiate the best possible conditions for Liu Biao, and then he took Liu Bei Zhuge Liang's reply and went to Xiangyang to restore his life.

Before leaving, Liu Bei, of course, had to entertain him for a few days, so that he could relieve the fatigue of the journey and the fatigue of running back and forth, so Yi did not leave until July 14.

On the way back, you have to go upriver from the Han River, and the time on the road has to be added two more days than when you come, and it is July 21 when you arrive in Xiangyang.

Yi worked tirelessly, and couldn't wait to go back to rest overnight, so he asked to see Liu Biao in the afternoon of the same day, and explained the conditions and conditions he talked about back:

"Lord, the general said that Changsha City has not yet been breached, and the people of Changsha County are fierce, and there have been many traitors and thieves in more than ten years, and they must be governed by thunderous means, so he hopes that in the future, Xiangshui will be the boundary, and Changsha County will be governed by him with full authority, so as to avoid thieves and erosion around.

However, the general of the Che Cavalry listened to Kong Ming's advice and was willing to hand over the appointment of the Taishou of Wuling and Lingling counties to the lord, and there were still a number of county vacancies in the two counties, which could also be appointed by the lord, but he was not allowed to bring foreign soldiers to take office, and he could only re-recruit county soldiers locally.

The reason is that the general of the chariot cavalry also needs to appease the hearts of the returnees, and cannot betray the returnees who fought side by side with him, so that Li Yan, Dong He and others do not have to worry about being liquidated in the future. I have argued with reason, but I really can't dispel the other party's concerns, so I can only agree. ”

There must be many details about the terms of the negotiation between the two sides, and the Yi nationality did not have time to repeat them all for a while, but he just picked the key points and pulled the outline with Liu Biao, and then slowly interpreted it.

After listening to it, Liu Biao of course also saw the problem: "Only give me the right to appoint the two counties of Xiangxi?" Or are you allowed to take office alone? Wasn't that being set aside by Liu Bei as soon as he arrived in the local area? What can I manage? ”

Liu Biao himself was a victim of taking office on a single horse, and he knew best how difficult it was for a person with no military power to parachute into the local area.

He has been a pastor in Jingzhou for ten years, and he is still influenced by the Kuai family and the Cai family. All his current decisions seem to be autonomous, but there is an additional premise, that is, the interests of the Kuai and Cai families cannot be harmed.

Yi was also very embarrassed, and helped to put himself in his shoes and explained: "My lord, after all, our army did not use soldiers and horses in this battle, and the battle was fought by the chariot generals, and they also helped annihilate the Xing Daorong troops who attacked Jiangling, so that Nanjun was saved from the destruction of the continuous war."

Now the general of the chariot cavalry is willing to give up the names of the two counties, and it is already reasonable. If we press forward step by step, I am afraid that it will be harmful and not beneficial. Cao Cao has already been offended by our army, even if our army does not take the initiative to attack Cao Cao in the future, it will be difficult to re-ease the relationship between the two sides, and we can't offend more people at this time. ”

When Liu Biao heard this, his face was a little ugly, he touched his sparse gray beard, and was silent, obviously assessing the benefits and losses.

Liu Bei has already saved face for him and found a step down, and the rest is a matter of strength. Even if you have a little reason, the difference in strength is too big......

Yi was also afraid that the lord would not be calm, and seeing that Liu Biao was shaken, he continued to knock on the side and say:

"My lord, there are two sentences...... Actually, I won't talk about it. If I say it, outsiders may think that I have the benefits of Liu Bei and eat inside and out. But I have a clear conscience, and for the sake of the lord, I still have to say:

To put it mildly, before Zhang Xian's rebellion, the counties of Jingnan had already refused to listen to the lord's tune, and only nominally annexed it. When Zhang Xian was asked to fight Huang Zu last year, did he send troops? No.

At that time, Huang Zu was beaten, which was the will of the Xu Du court controlled by Cao Cao, saying that Huang Zu was a thief who killed angels, and Zhang Xian was indifferent to this. It can be seen that Zhang Xian, for the meaning of the Xudu Imperial Court, he will only accept the order if it is beneficial to him, and if it is not good for him, he will pretend not to hear it, or find excuses to prevaricate.

Now that the general of the Che Cavalry has destroyed Zhang Xian, the lord can take back the appointment of the Taishou in two of the counties, which is already a free benefit, if it was this time last year, we would not even get this point.

If you have never had it, why should you think of it as a 'gain and a loss'? It is a little bit to be able to get it back, not to mention that the four counties of Jingnan are still the lord's, and the general of the Che Cavalry has not encroached on this.

On the other hand, among the two counties in eastern Xiangdong, the Che Cavalry General had to appoint another Taishou, and it was only Changsha County. The rest of Guiyang County, the former Taishou Zhao Fan was coerced by Zhang Xian, and now he has been retained in his original position anyway.

The lord is afraid that he will have a bad face, so he can make another fate, posthumously admit Zhao Fan's anyway, and admit that he will continue to stay in Guiyang Taishou. In this way, except for Changsha County, which was the place where this rebellion was initiated, was completely handed over to the control of the Che Cavalry General, the lords in other aspects did not lose their reputations and would not be regarded as weak by the people of the world. ”

Liu Biao is a good-looking person, and after being explained by Yi Yuan, he finally felt much better.

If nominally he can appoint two county guards and posthumously recognize one of the original county guards, then externally, he still controls the four counties of Jingnan, which is not a shame. Changsha is the first and opposite area, and Liu Bei paid a big price for attacking, and it should be strictly controlled and cleared by Liu Bei in the future.

Although in fact, everyone knows: even if Zhao Fan, the Guiyang Taishou, is nominally retained by Liu Biao, in fact, he must listen to Liu Bei and accept Liu Bei's favors. Liu Biao just gained a false name and face, and there was no real profit.

"So...... The old man only agreed to what Brother Xuande had invited......" After thinking about it, Liu Biao's eyes showed pain, and he couldn't bear to close his eyes, as if he had accepted his fate.

Yi Yuan also took a deep breath, and finally added a bargaining chip in his heart: "Lord, there is one more thing at the moment, I think it is more important than the negotiation on paper, that is, to get the benefits promised by the general as soon as possible, instead of worrying about paper."

You must know that if the princes are today, there are many treacherous people - this time it is also thanks to the lord that he is negotiating with the general of the chariot cavalry, if the other party is Cao Cao or Sun Ce, will he still talk to us? If you eat something in their mouths, is it possible to spit it out and return it to us?

It is also that the other party is a righteous gentleman like Xuande Gong, so we can get some things back by being reasonable and famous, and we are already a gentleman who deceives him. What I'm most worried about now is that Xuan Degong and Mr. Kong Ming pretend to be good people and let Zhang Yide pretend to be evil people.

The new officials we sent to Wuling and Lingling, even if they take office alone, as long as they can really arrive at their posts, it will be a great luck. If Zhang Yide is arbitrarily obstructed, or if there is an accident on the road, it is a more dangerous situation, and I don't want such a situation to happen, so I can only ask the lord to arrange the appointment as soon as possible, throw stones and ask for directions, and increase the mutual trust between the two sides. ”

Liu Biao was reminded by Yi nationality like this, and then remembered that Liu Bei was already the most trustworthy among the princes in the world.

But if you change someone, who wants to have a face? Does the face have a real turf and power incense?

Historically, when Sun and Liu negotiated between Hunan and Shui, Sun Quan initially sent officials to Changsha County and Guiyang County to take office because of communication problems, but Guan Yu did not let them take office smoothly.

Although these things have not yet happened in this time and space, it is not wrong for the Iraqi to anticipate the enemy's leniency and start planning for the worst. What's more, Zhang Fei's character is obviously more reckless than Guan Yu.

If there is really another trouble of "the general is outside, the king's order is not affected", and Zhang Fei does not carry out what Liu Bei promised, Liu Biao will have a big head.

Liu Biao was reminded like this, and finally realized that "ten birds are in the forest, it is better to have one bird in hand", and there is nothing to do with the eight characters, and he actually picked it first...... It's really big-hearted.

Why don't you hurry up and ask for directions first, send two Taishou over, occupy the pit first, and test whether Zhang Fei will resist Liu Bei's life!

In this way, Liu Biao further lowered his psychological expectations.

Subconsciously, I felt that "it seems that it is already very good to ensure that the two Taishou take office, how dare you expect anything else".

Then, Liu Biao began to seriously think about the two vacant Taishou candidates, and after thinking for a while, he also tentatively asked Yi Yuan: "Uncle Ji, who do you think can be Wuling and Lingling Taishou?" ”

Yi Yuan was shocked: "The subordinate districts are different, how dare you put a beak county guard candidate?" This matter can only be done out of the original intention of the public. However, his subordinates thought that these two candidates for Taishou must be loyal enough to the lord and brave and resolute.

If they are not loyal enough, they will not be able to lead troops when they go to work alone, and they will inevitably be unable to carry out their work after arriving at the locality, and it will be easy to compromise when they encounter constraints. If you are not bold and courageous enough, in the face of Zhang Yide's river blockade, I am afraid that you will not have the courage to take up the post. ”

Liu Biao listened and nodded subconsciously. He also recognized the problem.

The key to this Taishou candidate is to be bold. Some of them were timid, and when they heard that Zhang Fei might obstruct them, they might be directly frightened.

Liu Biao was not in a hurry to give an answer immediately, he asked the Iraqi to step down first, and in the next few days, after careful consideration, repeated investigations, and interviews, Liu Biao finally decided on two candidates based on historical inertia:

Wu Ju, Lai Gong.

These two people, in the original history, were appointed as Cangwu Taishou and Jiaozhou Assassin respectively after Liu Biao pacified Zhang Xian by himself, which can be regarded as Liu Biao's attempt to get his power to Jiaozhou.

In "Romance", on the eve of the Battle of Chibi, Lu Su came to Liu Bei after the defeat of Changbanpo and asked him what his follow-up plans were.

Zhuge Liang was afraid that Liu Bei would drop the price if he directly said "I want to unite with Eastern Wu", so he used Wu Ju as an excuse, saying, "My lord and Cangwu are too old to guard Wu Ju, and I want to invest in it".

Then he seduced Lu Su himself and said, "Wu Jubing is a small general, how can it be trusted." Now it is a king's plan, if you send your heart to make yourself to the grandson to beg for capture."

From the point of view of origin, Wu Ju is from Changsha County, and Lai Gong is from Lingling County.

After Liu Biao weighed it, it didn't matter what the people of the county couldn't be local officials in these years. appointed Wu Ju as the Taishou of Wuling, and Lai Gong as the Taishou of Lingling, and prepared to take office on the same day to test whether Liu Bei kept his promise.

After the news came out, Liu Biao and Liu Bei naturally had their own reactions.

On Liu Biao's side, Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others were shocked, and they looked for an opportunity to admonish and ask Liu Biao to take back his life.

Cai Mao found an opportunity and said to Liu Biao in private: "Brother-in-law must not be tricked by Zhuge Liang and be too careful!" Zhuge Liang made it clear this time that he wanted turf, and wanted to help Liu Bei win a good reputation and win the hearts of Jingzhou scholars!

He just took advantage of his brother-in-law's doubts about whether Zhang Fei would obstruct and obstruct his appointment, and asked his brother-in-law to ask for directions first, and once Wu Ju and Lai Gong took office smoothly, this matter would be over.

If my brother-in-law feels a loss in the future, he can't bring up the old thing again and ask Liu Bei for more benefits! Otherwise, we will be capricious, which will undermine our prestige and trustworthiness.

In my opinion, it's better not to reach a final negotiation with Liu Bei for the time being, don't admit this condition, and then bargain, maybe you can get more - by the way, Yi Beijia, who is in charge of negotiations, won't be accepting Liu Bei's benefits and helping to eat inside and out! Otherwise, why are you so eager to pry the lord to accept Liu Bei's conditions! ”
