In Xiaoling City, Sun Quan left Chen Zhen's residence with a tired face.
It's been half a month... Unlike Cao Pi, the negotiations in Chiling City have been going on for half a month!
From the initial delivery of prisoners of war, Guan Yu's body, weapons, armor, and family members of Jingzhou people, to the subsequent division of Yidu, Wuling, and many other counties.
Sun Quan and a group of officials from Jiangdong have been at war with Chen Zhen for half a month.
It wasn't until today that they finally settled on a basic charter.
Return Yidu County to Liu Bei... Of course, Sun Quan has nothing to do if he doesn't want to return it. After all, Yidu has nothing to do with him now.
As for Wuling County...Zhuge Liang once again triggered a rebellion among the Wuling barbarians. In addition, Liu Bei and Guan Yu had an excellent reputation in Jingnan, and half of Wuling County was out of control.
Sun Quan had no choice.
In the end, I had to agree to give up part of Wuling, or rather... give up the barbarians of Wuling!
Those damn barbarians!
Every time he thought about the negotiation with Chen Zhen during this period, Sun Quan always felt an unknown fire in his heart, and the burning anger seemed to ignite his whole body.
Although he had expected that even if he won this battle, the final result might not be so satisfactory.
But he never thought that the situation would come to this point. That little Liu Chan... damn little Liu Chan!
After scolding again, he took a deep breath to calm down his mood, and then took Xu Xiang beside him to another place in the city.
The Han envoy Chen Zhen was currently in a temporary post house in the city, and the place Sun Quan went to was a remote place in the city not far from his temporary residence.
Here he also met an old acquaintance of his - Jiujiang Jiang Gan!
"Jiang Gan, meet the king!"
Jiang Gan was also quite happy after seeing Sun Quan, and he paid homage to Sun Quan with a face full of joy.
Different from some folk rumors, Jiang Qian was respected enough in Jiangdong and even the world. He was called the one who stood alone between the Jiang and Huai Rivers and had no one to oppose him.
Jiang Qian's ability and conduct have been recognized by the world.
And he also had a deep friendship with Zhou Yu, the famous Jiangdong general at that time.
This time when Jia Xu came, he naturally needed an eloquent person to convince Sun Quan, and Jiang Gan became this person.
At this time, after the two people greeted each other, Jiang Gan didn't say anything nonsense and directly took out Cao Pi's autographed letter towards Sun Quan.
"I think your Majesty already knows the purpose of your visit this time.
Now that the war has progressed to this point, His Majesty also knows that if it continues, the gains will outweigh the losses. In the end, Liu Bei of Chengdu will be advantaged in vain.
Your Majesty is my vassal state of Wei, and you and I are one and the same. Why do we have to fight here and eventually let Liu Bei become a fisherman?
Therefore, Your Majesty asked Qian to come here today because he wanted to tell the king.
As long as the king is willing... I, the Wei Dynasty, are willing to give up the land of Nanjun and Xiangyang County.
From now on, Jiangling, Xiangyang and Fancheng are all lands under the rule of the king, and we will naturally return to Nanyang.
At the same time, in order to show sincerity, His Majesty has asked Cao Zhen to evacuate Hengjiangwu. I wonder if the king has received the news? "
"...I do understand the meaning of His Majesty..." Sun Quan, as the king of Wu of the Cao family, was still very polite to Jiang Gan, who represented Cao Pi.
Especially what Jiang Qian said and what Cao Pi did made Sun Quan feel quite comfortable.
This is sincerity!
He withdrew his troops, gave up the city, stopped the troops and made a truce, shook hands and made peace. Finally, he paid the tribute and once again admitted that he was a minister of the Wei Dynasty, and the matter was over.
This approach is so atmospheric!
Of course, since Cao had provided so many benefits, Sun Quan knew that he must have other requirements.
"I wonder what else your Majesty wants me to do besides these?"
"Hahaha... Your Majesty is right.
Your Majesty has said that it would be unreasonable for the king to continue sending troops to Yizhou.
After all, the king and his majesty have been seriously damaged after this battle, and they do not want to continue fighting for a short time.
But my Majesty still has things to do, so I hope that your Majesty can continue his efforts and do two things after occupying Jiangling and Xiangfan! "
"Two things?"
"Yes, he immediately stationed his troops outside Shangyong and blocked Shangyong's troops from entering Nanjun. Of course, this was done to protect Jiangling and even Xiangfan.
Second... Your Majesty hopes that the king can stop Zhuge Liang's troops and horses so that Zhuge Liang cannot enter the land of Nanyang..."
"Nanyang?" Sun Quan couldn't help but frown after hearing these words, "Your Majesty wants to return to Nanyang to avenge the death of the queen..."
“What Your Majesty wants to do is definitely not something that I and other ministers can guess.
This time... the matter between His Majesty and the King will be of great benefit to the King and Jiangdong without any harm.
As long as the king is willing, I will reply to His Majesty today.
Tomorrow... we can call off the troops and call a truce immediately! "
"Hmm...can we do it tomorrow...so soon?"
"Your Majesty has said that this battle has gone on for too long and cannot be continued."
Seeing Jiang Gan's appearance in front of him, Sun Quan couldn't help but become silent, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes...it really can't be like this anymore...it's a pity...it's a pity.
It would be great if you came earlier..."
At this time, Sun Quan couldn't help but think of the captives, family members and even Guan Yu's corpse that he had handed over.
It was really painful in my heart.
If Jiang Qian had come earlier, he would have killed Chen Zhen today to show his loyalty to the Wei Dynasty!
But now...it is inevitable to occupy Nanjun and Xiangyang County, but the Sun-Liu Alliance...cannot be abandoned.
Having made up his mind, Sun Quan immediately high-fived Jiang Gan as an oath, and after bidding farewell to Jiang Gan, he immediately called Lu Xun and others to his side.
Soon, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses became turbulent again.
Naturally, this scene could not be hidden from Chen Zhen, the Han envoy who lived in the city.
But this time, when Chen Zhen went to visit Sun Quan with full of doubts, he was turned away directly.
Looking at the guards who had a bad attitude and did not intend to let him in at all, Chen Zhen's expression finally changed at this moment.
The negotiations had reached the final moment, but Jiang Dong's actions made him feel deeply uneasy.
"Since we can't visit, Na Zhen will leave here and go first..."
"Mr. Xiaoqi, you can't leave today either!"
Just when Chen Zhen was about to turn around and leave, Zhang Wen and other Jiang Dong's subordinates also walked out of the mansion with smiles on their faces, and then immediately surrounded him in the center...
