"Your Majesty is willing to give up Jiangling?"
This time the person who was surprised was Jian Yong, and the way Jian Yong looked at Cao Pi was indeed a little different.
Apart from the shock, there seemed to be some inexplicable smell.
Cao Pi seemed to notice Jian Yong's shock, but he surprised him again.
"I know that you have always wanted to take back Jiangling, and I also understand that Jiangling... is not important to me.
Because he is not the gateway to Jingzhou, he is the gateway to Jingnan.
Only with Jiangling can we have Jingnan!
Therefore, I am willing to give this Jiangling to you, even though now... Jiangling is dilapidated and plague is rampant, but this is still Jiangling!
I have no intention of continuing the fight, as you can probably tell by now. I have to go back to Luoyang to take care of some family matters.
And even if Jiangdong wanted to continue fighting after this battle, they were powerless.
You have enough time to repair the city and reorganize the land of Nanjun.
And... I know that you have moved a lot of people, not to mention the people around Wancheng in Nanyang County, you have moved a lot in Nanxiang County alone.
You can even allow these people to come and live in Jiangling. With Jiangling's wealth and fertile land, you can restore one element of Qi in a few years.
I, the Wei Dynasty, have given up the Xiangfan area, and you have Shangyong at your disposal, so you can connect the battle line together. With the Yidu County you have obtained, you can completely occupy Jingnan.
So, why not do it? "
Cao Pi said so enthusiastically that at this moment Jian Yong even thought that this guy was Xuande's secret hand hiding under Cao Cao's knees, specifically planning for their big man.
Although Jian Yong was not familiar with the art of war, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Cao Pi's words.
In other words, he really couldn't find any problem. According to him, they could... take Nanjun directly, or even the entire Jingnan...
At this moment, Jian Yong, an old envoy who had been wandering around the Central Plains for many years, couldn't help but feel moved.
Just when he was about to agree, he saw Cao Pi's hand holding the hem of his clothes from the corner of his eye.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he seemed to see the looming veins, as if he was nervous...
Jian Yong had not been an envoy for many years, but he was still experienced enough. For just a fleeting moment, he calmed down.
"Your Majesty is absolutely right, but for such a big matter... please forgive me for not being able to make the decision.
If your Majesty is at ease, please invite Xu Shu and Shi Tao, and I can send a letter to Chengdu to get along with the Prime Minister.
It will naturally be up to my Majesty and the Prime Minister to make the decision at that time. "
After Jian Yong finished speaking, he bowed and saluted directly, as if he didn't intend to continue talking.
At this point in the negotiation, it is obvious that it cannot go on.
Although Cao Pi couldn't help but frown, he couldn't say anything more at this time and could only urge Jian Yong to go faster.
After that, he turned around and left.
Jian Yong, on the other hand, quickly took out clean cloth and bamboo slips, immediately ground them and started sending messages to Zhuge Kongming and Liu Bei...
As for Cao Pi, after leaving Jian Yong's camp, he never returned to his own camp, but went straight to a certain corner of the camp.
Then looking at the lonely small tent, his brows could not help but relax a little. At the same time, he ordered the imperial troops around him to retreat, and he walked over with Xu Chu.
"arts..."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. I have been waiting for your Majesty for a long time."
Before Cao Pi took the initiative to salute, a pair of old and withered hands supported his body, just as the old man said, he had been waiting for him for a long time...
"Lieutenant!" At this time, Cao Pi looked at the old man in front of him, and he couldn't help being excited.
And if Jian Yong heard his voice, he would probably be so frightened that his hair would stand on end.
At this time, the candlelight in the small tent also flickered inexplicably. The fluttering flames illuminated that square inch, and the light also flashed across the old face.
Under his old face, there seemed to be eternal peace, as if nothing could cause his expression to change in an instant.
And this face is the most important treasure left by Cao Mengde to Cao Pi, the poisonous warrior Jia Xu!
"Your Majesty is so excited today...it seems that Jian Yong did not agree immediately."
"..." The smile on Cao Pi's face froze instantly, and finally all his expressions turned into a touch of bitterness, "The Taiwei is worthy of being a Taiwei. I have already told Jian Yong according to the Taiwei's wishes. .
I can be sure that Jian Yong was already tempted, but...but Jian Yong gave up at the last moment.
Sigh...I guess it was something I did wrong that made Jian Yong discover the problem.
Speaking of which, I am really... ashamed of the Taiwei! "
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. In fact...it doesn't matter whether Jian Yong takes the bait or not.
But if Jian Yong refuses to take the bait, it means that things between us and Sun Quan may have to be accelerated. "
"I almost made a big mistake by not paying attention. Fortunately, the Taiwei came to help me stabilize the situation.
I also ask the Taiwei to offer suggestions to help me get out of this predicament! "
Seeing Cao Pi speaking so solemnly in front of him, Jia Xu, who had galloped all the way from Luoyang and made a long circle before running from the Ruxuwu battlefield, couldn't help but hit his old waist twice.
"This time... I can only help His Majesty get out of trouble, but if you want to turn defeat into victory... I can't guarantee it.
I just don’t know what kind of extraordinary person there is in the Chengdu Han Court, who can actually help the big man reach this point in this chaos.
I just hope it’s not that boy from Wancheng..."
"Lieutenant, do you think this matter has nothing to do with Liu Chan's child in Wancheng?"
"I don't know." Jia Xu shook his head indifferently, "I just think Liu Chan is too young.
If all of this was his handiwork, then this kind of person is really... But even if he is not the initiator, he can bring the big man to this point.
He also contributed a lot.
Once he returns to Chengdu, his prestige will no longer be shaken.
At that time, the big man really calmed down.
Therefore, I have to come here, I just hope that everything is not too late..."
"The Lieutenant takes action. I believe that even if Liu Chan is really a monster and a genius, there is absolutely no way for him to survive!"
"Hahahaha... Your Majesty, thank you." After Jia Xu smiled softly for a while, he slowly saluted Cao Pi.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late, please rest early.
When the news from Jiangdong comes, we can go and kill Liu Chan..."
