Several people sat opposite each other at the table. Sun Quan, as the inviter, took the lead in raising a toast: "Everyone, over the past few months, the Sun and Liu families have been fighting endlessly due to many misunderstandings. Many good men have been buried in the wilderness because of this, and many good families have been ruined. My heart aches.
"Jingzhou has been fighting for a long time, and Yizhou is exhausted. If we fight again, we will only fear widespread resentment among the people. By then, Xuande's new foundation will not be stable. How can we talk about going north to fight against Cao Cao?"
"Sun and Liu are all serving the country. If things come to this, how can I bear it? Wouldn't it be better if you and I stopped fighting and made a truce to live with the people?"
Liu Chan didn't hold the cup, and just looked at Sun Quan who was raising the cup, making him a little embarrassed.
"Haha...hahahaha." Liu Chan finally couldn't help laughing, which made Sun Quan feel scared.
After a moment, his smile faded, Liu Chan slapped the table and said sternly: "Misunderstanding? You took advantage of Jingzhou to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and sent Lu Meng in white to cross the river and betray the alliance to attack in a sneak attack. General Sun, there is something wrong with this. What’s the misunderstanding?”
Sun Quan held up his wine glass and said nothing, but his face became increasingly ugly.
"Are you here to negotiate a truce, or are you here to vent your anger? Why don't you save any face for me?"
"Several months of fierce fighting all started because of you! Yizhou is a land of abundance and rich in people. Our army is now wearing armor to reach the sky, and there are so many good generals. Are we tired..." Liu Chan put the gold and jade sword on his waist on the case. Shoot, "You'll find out once you try it."
Zhuge Jin was anxious, but he had just been criticized by Liu Chan. If the people accompanying him didn't persuade him first, wouldn't he be scolding him if he spoke again?
He quickly winked at Zhuge Liang, saying that it would be no good for both parties to continue fighting. What's going on with your prince? Did you just drink kerosene?
As a result, I looked at my brother again, with a smile on his face, enjoying the winter river scenery!
He turned his attention to the second master Guan for help... The second master's eyes were so narrow that he couldn't see. He couldn't be asleep, right?
Mr. Zhang... was secretly pointing at Sun Quan's knees, whispering to Zhao Yun with a sarcastic smile.
Zhuge Jin was desperate. Was this group of people deliberately humiliating him and waiting for others to come?
Seeing this, Sun Quan had no choice but to put the wine glass back.
At this time, he was so angry that he wanted to lift the table and fight again, but Zhu Ran on the other side secretly winked at him.
Sun Quan thought about the morale of his troops in recent days, and then thought about the consequences of continuing to fight. He took a few deep breaths and silently recited "the overall situation is the most important thing" and endured it.
After all, he was also in charge of a force. After recognizing the situation, he immediately changed the subject and said bitterly: "My father said at the beginning that if I take Yizhou, I will give back Jingzhou. But in the end, I took Yizhou and said that I would take Liangzhou again." Return to Jingzhou.
"What if we take Liangzhou? Do we wait until we take Sizhou and Bingzhou before returning it? Everyone, let me ask you, is this deceiving others?
"Although I, Jiangdong, have some faults in attacking Jingzhou this time, isn't it because Duke Xuande broke his trust with me?"
Sun Quan looked like someone had robbed his wife.
But looking at Liu Chan, he was still indifferent. He even raised the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh.
"absurd."
Regarding Sun Quan's above remarks, Liu Chan only used these two words as an evaluation.
"General Sun, it's good to keep these words to deceive outsiders, but if you bring them out now, are you bullying the ignorant?" Liu Chan sneered, "My father only borrowed the land of Jiangling in the north of the Yangtze River, and it is just right for you to lend it to my father." Can stop Cao Wei's troops.
"Besides, if you don't have a father, can you take Jiaozhou easily? Why do you have to behave like this now! You have repeatedly confused right and wrong, but you think that my armor is weak and my sword and gun are weak?"
The so-called borrowing Jingzhou is nothing more than a political transaction in which everyone gets what they need.
You give me Jiangling and other areas north of Nanjun and Jiangbei to facilitate my northern expedition. I will let your army take advantage of Lingling County to attack Jiaozhou.
Afterwards, the two sides expressed their opinions to each other, and Sun Quan recognized Lao Liu's Jingzhou pastoral, which also meant that he recognized his right to rule Jingzhou.
Lao Liu also reciprocated the favor and represented Sun Quan as acting general of chariots and cavalry, and also as leader of the Xuzhou herdsmen.
What's the matter, now you want to forget about the previous things and make Jingzhou become an inseparable part of Jiangdong since ancient times?
It can’t be that cheap!
Sun Quan saw Liu Chan in a dazed manner, wanting to fight if he disagreed with him.
I feel a little guilty. Could this person be a fanatical militant?
He also glanced at Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, but neither of them opened their eyes, and the other looked at the Yangtze River in fascination, with no intention of intervening...
Seeing that the little tricks didn't work, Sun Quan was afraid of completely angering Liu Chan, so he stopped going around in circles.
He frowned and said as if he was in great pain: "How about our army withdrawing from the Public Security Bureau and handing it over to them, and then the two families call off their troops?"
Right, it would be better if we talked about something practical earlier. What are you talking about?
But you are really not sincere in making this condition, and your abacus will fall off your face.
"Haha, the public security was taken by Jiangdong, and it should be returned as a matter of course. But he said it as if it was of great benefit to Gu, do you still want to thank you?" Liu Chan said, stroking his hands, "There is no loss in this way, and you can retreat from the public security, Sun. The general is so calculating."
Sun Quan's face darkened: "What do you want?"
Liu Chan held out three fingers: "In addition to the public security, I also ask General Sun to return the three counties of Changsha, Jiangxia and Guiyang to me."
[Defense breaking trigger]
Snapped!
Sun Quan really couldn't stand it any longer. He slammed the table and said angrily: "Mr. Liu, you are going too far!"
It's just that the range of movement is too large, and the blood pressure is high, the arrow wound on the knee is in unbearable pain, and I am afraid that blood will ooze again...
"Why, these three counties were also taken from your father. If you don't want to return them, I will take them for myself." Liu Chan looked directly at Sun Quan without any fear, as if he was indeed a foolish young man with a warmongering attitude.
Sun Quan was so angry that his chest heaved and his hands trembled. He really wanted to go back immediately to prepare for war and fight with this boy.
Zhuge Liang only looked away from the river at this time and advised: "General Sun, although Cao Wei in the north has lost troops and generals and is severely weakened, it still dominates the land of Jiuzhou. If you and I don't fight to the death, won't we allow Cao Cao to benefit? We must not do it for a while. Being impulsive ruined the plan."
Sun Quan is so angry. Am I being impulsive? Did you hear clearly what your prince was saying?
When Zhuge Jin saw that someone on the opposite side finally spoke, he quickly spoke to persuade: "Kong Ming said exactly what he said. Prince, it will be beneficial for both our families to stop fighting now, so don't start a war rashly again."
Guan Yu also opened his eyes at this time: "If you hadn't betrayed the alliance, how could our two families have had this fierce battle? Who started the war rashly?"
Zhu Ran said: "General, what you said is wrong. First you scolded my lord's envoy for asking for marriage, and then you took advantage of the rice in Xiangguan. If you hadn't been humiliated again and again..."
Before he finished speaking, Mr. Zhang became unhappy. He raised his fist as big as a sand bowl with big eyes and said, "If you scold me, I will scold you. If you take it, I will take it. What do you want to do?"
If Zhu Ran said even half a word wrong, Zhang Fei would be ready to go up and do some theory (physical theory).
"You!" Zhu Ran put one hand on the sword.
Zhao Yun looked at him and glared at him fiercely, about to draw his sword.
"That's enough!" Sun Quan waved his hand to stop Zhu Ran.
Looking at Guan, Zhang and Zhao on Liu Chan's side, they all have bravery that no man can match, and then look at his own side... Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Pan Zhang, and Jiang Qin, who was walking on the Mianshui River, were all talented when they came, and now All dead.
If a fight really breaks out at this moment, he won't be able to run even with his lame legs.
He suddenly felt that the place he had chosen was too bad. The place where the soldiers were arrayed was a bit far away. When the troops came over, his head might fly.
Sun Quan seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He could not beat him again and again. Yizhou was exhausted but he did not know that Yangzhou was really weakened this time.
Even though he has Su Qin and Zhang Yi's mouth, what can he do if the other party only talks to him with his fists?
"Alas..." Sun Quan sighed, "If you ask for three counties, even if Xuande is here, he will never be so unreasonable."
Seeing that Sun Quan seemed to be about to relent, Zhuge Jin quickly winked at him, but Sun Quan glared back.
"If it weren't for your "ingenious plan", would I have suffered such a big loss?! Just stay here!"
Liu Chan didn't expect that he was asking for such a high price, and there seemed to be talks about ceding the land. He was overjoyed and winked at Uncle Zhuge.
The two of them tried to persuade each other with a red face, while the other threatened with a white face. Guan, Zhang and Zhao used force to intimidate them from time to time.
But even Sun Quan, who was willing to compromise as a good man, knew that Jiangxia and Changsha would definitely not be able to give it.
Dongting Lake in Changsha is where his navy trains, and Xiakou Port in Jiangxia is also extremely important.
If these two places were given to him, Jiangdong would be no different to Lao Liu from now on than if he were undefended.
Moreover, if they want to attack these two counties, it will not be easy to defeat them.
After several wranglings, Sun Quan reluctantly agreed to "return" Guiyang County.
Guiyang is different from these two counties. If the Shu army takes Lingling, it will not be difficult for them to fight with their current strength.
It is better to use it as a bargaining chip and take the initiative to put it on the negotiating table.
In fact, Liu Chan's bottom line at the beginning was just to get back the police and extort a batch of money and food to make up for the losses.
Unexpectedly, Sun Quan couldn't help but scare him.
However, when he came, four of the five generals were dead, and there were still more than 20,000 of the 80,000-strong army. He only defeated one public security officer, Wu Ling, and the value of Lingling was greatly reduced... Sun Quan could still talk smoothly with this, and he was already intimidated. .
"In the past few months, the bones of many good men of our army have been buried in the wilderness, and many good families have been destroyed. It is so painful to be alone." Liu Chan then said, "General Sun still needs to pay money and food to make up for the losses of our army."
The veins on Sun Quan’s forehead were beating loudly, these are my words!
It’s me who killed nearly 60,000 damn people!
Are you still asking me to compensate you? ?
It's just that even Guiyang was given, and he didn't care about the money and food. At this time, Sun Quan just wanted to return to Jiangdong and leave the sad place of Jingzhou...
"Leave this matter to them to discuss." He waved his hand in frustration.
In this way, after a frank exchange of views, and in line with the principles of fairness and seeking truth from facts, Sun and Liu drafted the famous "Public Security Truce Agreement" on the banks of the Yangtze River.
Just wait until you go back and write the formal document, and after both parties confirm that it is correct, stamp the seal and exchange it, it will take effect.
After the meeting, Liu Chan, the crown prince of Hanzhong, expressed his deep condolences to the soldiers of both sides who died in this battle, and expressed sincere condolences to the families of the Wu soldiers who died in the battle.
Sun Quan...Sun Quan didn't want to speak at this time.
Supported by the attendants, he limped back to the police station...
