Zhuge Jin smiled and poured a glass of wine for Sima Lang and a cup of tea for himself. He raised the tea cup and said to Sima Lang: "Brother Boda has worked hard all the way. You should eat and drink well first, and then we can negotiate the terms!"
Sima Lang was whetted by Zhuge Jin. If it is as Zhuge Jin said, then this southern expedition will definitely save a lot of things. He has also heard of the name Feng Chu. Once, he heard Gao Fei say, Wolong
, the story of Feng Chu, and we also know that these two people are extraordinary talents. Now Wolong Zhuge Liang is determined to join the Huaxia Kingdom. What a wonderful thing it is.
He was restless, drank a glass of wine in a hurry, and asked: "What are the three conditions that you need to tell me now so that I can eat and drink with peace of mind."
"Brother Boda is so impatient. Okay, then I won't give in. Brother She put forward three conditions. The first one is that once Brother She surrenders Jingzhou to your army, Brother She must join the Senate of your country and serve as the prime minister.
position." Zhuge Jin said.
"What about the second one?" Sima Lang asked.
"The second is that Shidi must be allowed to stay in Jingzhou and command all the soldiers and horses of the original Han army."
Sima Lang frowned and asked again: "Where is the last one?"
"I must make my younger brother the king, rule Jingzhou forever, and be hereditary."
Sima Lang smiled and said: "There may be room for negotiation on the first and second, but it is absolutely impossible to agree to the third. China prohibits people with different surnames from being crowned kings. Even if they are princes, they have not been crowned kings yet.
Why does Zhuge Liang want to be crowned king?"
Zhuge Jin said: "These are just the three preliminary conditions for brother-in-law. I am just passing them on. As for how to negotiate in practice, we still need to discuss with brother-in-law and His Majesty the Emperor of your country. In order to show sincerity, I will send troops to escort Guan.
The families of the two generals Zhang
After crossing the Han River, you only need to meet on the other side. In addition, Jiangling is located at a strategic location, and the State of Wu has long coveted it. If your army and your younger brother cannot come to an agreement, then the entire Jingzhou will be handed over to the State of Wu. I think Wu
The emperor of the country, Sun Ce, should be more generous than the Huaxia Kingdom."
"Wu, there is a feud between Han and Han. The Han army killed the father of Wu Sun Ce. This hatred is irreconcilable. How could he negotiate terms with you?"
"Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. Sun Ce will only go to Liu Bei, and it has nothing to do with our brothers."
Sima Lang hurriedly said: "After I go back, I will report the truth to the emperor. If we don't get any reply, please do not negotiate with Wu Guo. I will work hard to achieve these three conditions. But these three conditions
What we want to do requires personal negotiation between Zhuge Kongming and my emperor."
Zhuge Jin said: "This is the best. Come on, come on, we have finished talking about business, and it's time to talk about private matters." Zhuge Jin smiled and raised his glass to Sima Lang.
Sima Lang's heart was already turbulent at this time. How could he think about drinking and eating. After a hasty meal, he made an appointment with Zhuge Jin and prepared to pick up people in Jiangbei. Zhuge Jin was also very happy and agreed immediately.
, and sent troops and horses,
Escorted Sima Lang to leave, and then sent troops and horses to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's family members leave Jiangling City. They lied that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had won the battle on the front line, had turned defeat into victory, captured Wancheng, and were preparing to march to Luoyang.
Take the whole family to Wancheng.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's family believed it was true and were protected by a thousand cavalry, so they were sent away in a mighty manner. At the same time, in order to prevent the Wu army from harassing them, Zhuge Jin took the initiative to send troops and horses to pretend to attack the Wu army camp. Only then did Zhuge Jin
As a result, Wu Jun was unable to find out about Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei's family members were sent away.
When Sima Lang left Jiangling, he happened to meet Bian Xi's elite scouts on the way. He asked the scouts to pass all the news to Gao Fei, then he turned back and returned to Jiangling. He was afraid that Zhuge Jin was cheating and Wu Jun would attack.
City, I want to be in the middle.
When Zhuge Jin saw Sima Lang leaving and returning, he didn't say anything and continued to treat him warmly. Wu Jun didn't want to attack Jiangling at first, and thought Sima Lang was gone, so he simply continued to stand by where he was, and the Jiangling incident was put aside for the time being.
………………
Along the Han River in Deng County, all the Huaxia Kingdom's camps have been set up, including the navy barracks. There are twenty-four water gates along the river, with big ships on the outside as the city wall, and small boats on the inside, which can lead to
Come, light the lights in the evening, and the water in the sky will turn red. The camps on the shore stretch for more than a hundred miles, and the 300,000 troops have all been assembled.
The winter is cold, but the soldiers are still in full swing. After two months of mobilizing troops, all 300,000 soldiers have been assembled today. The Chinese flag with gold letters on a black background is fluttering in the wind along the Han River.
On this day, Gao Fei was inspecting the military camp on his Hualiu. Suddenly a scout came and reported everything about Sima Lang. He immediately felt elated. If it was true as Sima Lang said, then this time the South
Zheng can capture the entire Jingzhou without any bloodshed.
After returning to the camp, Gao Fei wrote a letter in his own hand according to the contact information given by Sima Lang, and then asked the scout to pass it to Bian Xi who was lurking in Jingzhou, and asked Bian Xi to contact Zhuge Liang and make an appointment at Hanshui River in five days.
Meeting on the river.
After the scouts left, Gao Fei finally got the answer to why Liu Bei shot Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with bows and arrows that day.
Not long after, Zhao Yun walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what important matter the summoner has."
"Zilong, when we faced Guan Yu and Zhang Fei last time, it seemed that you didn't try too hard. I want to know what's going on?" Gao Fei asked with a smile on his face.
Zhao Yun knew in his heart that sooner or later Gao Fei would come and ask him. He did not hide anything and answered truthfully: "I have some concerns, so..."
"Is it because your wife is pregnant?" Gao Fei asked.
Zhao Yun nodded and said: "I am guilty, please punish me!"
Gao Fei said: "What's your crime? I can understand your feelings. Now that you are a father, you are worried that you are working too hard. If something goes wrong, your unborn child will be without a father. Right.
Bar?"
"I know my guilt!"
"Okay, okay, it's all over. It's human nature. Fortunately, we caught Guan Yu and Zhang Fei last time, so this matter is over. This time, I called you here because I want you to do something.
thing."
"Please give me your Majesty's orders. I will not give up even if I die!"
"According to reliable information, Cao Wei is attacking Shu Han, and half of Shu has been captured. Our army cannot sit in a well and watch the sky. An army of 300,000 people is more than enough to deal with the Han army. I want to send you to lead a partial army along the Han Dynasty.
The water moved westward, then turned to the Mianshui River, and went all the way to attack Fangling, Shangyong, Xicheng, and Xixian County. The geographical location of these four counties
It is very important and must not be missed. While Cao Wei's army is still attacking Shu County, if you go to conquer it at this time, the four counties will definitely surrender after hearing the news. After that, you can garrison the west city to prevent Cao Wei from Hanzhong and Chang'an.
We must use our troops to cut off the Ziwu Road and capture the scattered Shu Han army." Gao Fei stated his strategic intention.
After hearing this, Zhao Yun happily accepted the order without any hesitation.
"Very good, I will allocate you 30,000 troops and horses. You bring enough food and grass and set off today. The sooner the better."
"promise!"
After Zhao Yun went out, Gao Fei called Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and Sima Yi all in and explained Zhuge Liang's three conditions to them.
After hearing this, everyone frowned. Except for the first condition, they all thought that the latter two conditions were unacceptable.
Gao Fei thought for a while and said: "There must be some of you who have objections, so you might as well come and listen. Although I love talents, I can never follow in the footsteps of Ju. Now that Zhuge Liang is starting to attract others, he must have something up his sleeve.
I have sent someone to tentatively agree to his three conditions and have made an appointment to meet with him to find out his plans. If you have anything good to say, just tell me. Even if you are wrong, I will not blame you!"
Jia Xu was the first to speak, saying: "Your Majesty, I think that Zhuge Liang's move must be a fraud. Why would he show such courtesy for no reason? Besides, Liu Bei is still here, how can he have such power? Perhaps Jiangling
Yes, but Xiangyang is determined
No, and the Wu army occupied half of Jingzhou. Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses were waiting in Jingzhou. They said that they would sacrifice the entire Jingzhou. I thought it was unrealistic. I thought it might be Zhuge Liang's excuse to take this opportunity.
, allowing our army to miss the opportunity to fight."
Xun You said: "I feel the same way."
Tian Feng and Xun Chen also said together: "I second my opinion."
Only Guo Jia and Sima Yi did not speak. They just sat there without saying a word.
Gao Fei glanced at the two of them and asked, "What do you two dear ladies think?"
Guo Jiadao: "I think that Zhuge Liang's move may not be deceitful. His conditions are very clear, that is, he wants to become the lord of Jingzhou. Although Wu's army has 200,000 men waiting for him, because Wu's army hastily dispatched troops, it is extremely urgent to mobilize troops, and even
The troops and horses that conquered Shi Xie were also mobilized, which shows that the Wu army really wanted to occupy
The leader of Jingzhou has not started a battle at this time, so he is recharging his strength and adjusting his state. If it is delayed any longer, Wu Jun will probably be relieved. Zhuge Liang dares to say such big words, and he will definitely have some countermeasures.
I feel that your Majesty can make plans after meeting with him again. After all, this is also a good opportunity to kill without bloodshed."
After hearing this, Gao Fei felt that what Guo Jia said was reasonable, so he asked Sima Yi: "Zhongda, what do you think?"
"I have no objection," Sima Yi replied.
"No objection?" Gao Fei asked in surprise.
"Because I haven't seen what Zhuge Liang wants to do yet, so I have no objection." Sima Yi said.
After listening to this, Gao Fei said: "Okay, I already understand your opinions. I think we can make plans after meeting with Zhuge Liang."
After the meeting, Gao Fei left Sima Yi alone and asked: "Zhongda, have you really not seen through what Zhuge Liang is thinking?"
