Chapter 699 Climbing the Building

Of course, Zhuge Liang was not really complaining, it was just a joke.

He would say this, which means that the negotiation has indeed achieved results that both parties can satisfy.

The same is true for Guan Yu, and he was in a good mood. So although he maintained his usual noble attitude and ignored Zhuge Qiao, Zhuge Liang and Lei Yuan could see clearly that the direction Guan Yu was walking forward was just to go to the museum.

In late February, Guan Ping defeated the enemy in the rainy battle in Nanhai County, defeating Lu Dai from Jiangdong and Quan Cong's troops. Lu Dai's deputy general Yin Yi was killed, while Lu Dai and Quan Cong were almost spared, and they fled all the way with a very small number of troops. They passed through Zhenyang and Qujiang to Yangzhou. Wu Hou's plan for Jiaozhou was completely failed.

Bu Zhi died and after Lu Dai was defeated, Wu Hou transferred Pan Zhang and Xu Sheng from Baqiu; and Xuande Gong, who was in Ba County, had sent troops from various places to respond.

In mid-March, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su met again and formally negotiated on the situation in Jiaozhou that everyone was concerned about.

Zhuge Liang naturally took Huang Bian and talked to his subordinates, and blamed Wu Hou for causing trouble, disturbing Jingzhou, and plotting against Xuande Duke's Jiaozhou allies.

Lu Su argued with reason: Let’s not mention the matter of Jingzhou. We attacked Shi Xie in Jiaozhou. How could Shi Xie have a slight relationship with Xuande Gong? It was obviously nothing, but when we attacked Shi Xie, you attacked our army?

Bu Zhi is a confidant of Wu Hou, and is the 2,000 stones from Jiangdong! How dare you kill him?

As an allies, it caused the losses of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiangdong! You have no scruples?

The Sun and Liu families are also allies! When you acted bravely, you didn’t think about it?

They argued over each other for several days, comparing who had a louder voice and who seemed more reasonable.

The Sun and Liu families are indeed allies, so the conflict is limited to the scale of thousands of people. At this scale, the winning or losing will not be a problem, and local conflicts will not easily spread to the central level. However, this kind of expansion in troubled times has no reason. Even allies can only talk about their own principles, and the words are told to their own people, and the principles are dedicated to their own people. When they are implemented, they are nothing more than speaking by winning or losing.

During the previous meeting with Lu Su, Zhuge Liang took the initiative to propose that the Sun family and the Sun family were divided into Jiaozhou. The Sun family belonged to the entire seven counties of Nanhai County, plus Duanxi on the southeast of Cangwu County, Gaoyao on the two counties, Linyun on the east side of Hepu County and Gaoliang on the east side of Hepu County.

There are seven counties on the territory of Jiaozhou. The five counties that are actually controlled by the Han government are Nanhai, Cangwu, Hepu, Yulin and Jiaozhi. There are many barbarians and barbarians in the south and Jiuzhen counties. The one and four counties designated by Zhuge Liang also include one-third of the actual controlled household registration of Jiaozhou, which shows sincerity and is very favorable.

But at that time, Lu Su didn't know about Bu Zhi and Lu Dai in Jiaozhou. He believed that he could get more benefits, so he flatly rejected Zhuge Liang's suggestions.

After the second talk, Lu Su specially prepared a map and proposed this plan again. Zhuge Liang looked at him, as if he had never had such a division.

Lu Su pulled Zhuge Liang's sleeve several times and was almost tearful to communicate. Finally, for the sake of the Sun-Liu alliance, the two families once again reached a sharing plan.

This plan only involves Nanhai County, and the four counties of Longchuan, Jieyang, Zengcheng and Boluo on the east side of Nanhai County belong to the Sun family. The three counties of Nanhai County west of Panyu, along with the entire Jiaozhou, fell into the control of Xuandegong.

For the Sun family, the four counties east of Nanhai County border with Danyang County in Yangzhou. Taking this place can form a comprehensive encirclement of Shanyue in Danyang County. According to the speculation of Jiangdong civil and military officials, if they can completely control Shanyue in Danyang County, it is enough to obtain 40,000 elite troops. Moreover, these four counties themselves have more than 10,000 entries, and participating in Jiaozhou's trade here can also gain commercial benefits.

In the case of complete failure of military means, it is already good to get these through negotiations. At least Lu Su is not ashamed of his position as the Grand Supervisor of the Front and can barely explain to the Marquis of Wu. If Wu Hou finds some solutions, he can explain to his supporters.

After determining this division plan, Zhuge Liang and Lu Su jointly announced the results of this alliance.

Although the two families had thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of people confronted each other, no one had any doubts at this time that the alliance was an alliance, and the alliance between the Sun and Liu families was still unbreakable.

According to both sides, a few months ago, Suinan General and Jiaozhi Prefect Shi Xie colluded with the northern Cao bandits, and tried to start a war against Sun and Liu, which caused turmoil in various parts of Jingzhou. The Sun and Liu families then sent troops to suppress the rebellion. After many fierce battles, both families suffered casualties, but finally punished the evil Shi clan forces and restored the stability of Jiaozhou.

In April, the Sun and Liu families each withdrew their troops and no longer had military confrontation. Lei Yuan urgently recruited considerable troops to move south in Yidu, and he himself returned to Jingzhou and began negotiations with Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu.

After all, Jiaozhou is about to become the new foothold of the Lei family in Lujiang. As a general who is scheduled to govern Jiaozhou, Lei Yuan really has too many conditions to talk to the center. There must be a certain clause as soon as possible between Jingjiao and Jiaozhou, between Yidu and Jiangling, and even the Lei family in Lujiang in Yidu, and how to distribute and compensate many interests in Lexiang.

Of course, these three people are all subordinates that Duke Xuande relied on. After all, the negotiation was for the great cause of Xuande Gong, not just a personal plan. Guan Yu naturally didn't bother with those meticulous matters; with Lei Yuan's current identity, he only needed to roughly set the policy with Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu. For specific details, each of the three parties had countless subordinates.

Zhuge Liang said that Lei Yuan was very particular, and I am afraid that it was more to explain to the children.

A ten-year-old child came to Jiangling alone, waiting for the person who was about to become a father to receive him. As a result, he couldn't wait or wait, so he had to search for him by himself. Although he was obviously ignorant of the way, he actually transferred from the museum to the hall, and then passed the side door of the prefect's mansion, and found outside the hall where Zhuge Liang and others discussed the matter.

Zhuge Liang felt that this might be some kind of special fate.

This made him feel particularly guilty towards Zhuge Qiao, so his arms, which were holding Zhuge Qiao's shoulders, tightened slightly.

Zhuge Qiao struggled subconsciously for a moment, then realized that he was very rude. So he became even more uneasy and his steps were in chaos. When he crossed a threshold, he almost tripped.

Fortunately, Zhuge Liang was very strong and supported Zhuge Qiao.

In order to avoid Zhuge Qiao's embarrassment, he held up the white feather fan and pointed: "A Qiao, do you see the city tower high in front of you?"

"See it."

"That city tower is where Wang Zhongxuan wrote the tuition for climbing the tower. Have you heard of the tuition for climbing the tower?"

Wang Zhongxuan is Wang Can, who is now a military commander under Cao Gong to sacrificial wine. He is a famous contemporary scholar, known for his literary talent, and is known for his good literary talent. Even in Jiangdong, there are also people who sing his poems and essays.

Zhuge Qiao replied: "I have heard that I climbed the building to look around and chatted to eliminate worries every day, right?"

"Yes, yes!" Zhuge Liang waved his feather fan: "Aqiao, I have time in the afternoon, can I take you to the city tower to see?"
