Liu Chan, who returned to Jiangbei by boat, was in a good mood. This negotiation achieved unexpected gains.
Taking Guiyang back, the southernmost part of Jingzhou has been connected.
If it is necessary to recapture Changsha and Jiangxia by force, there will be many more attack options available.
Moreover, Sun Quan did not get Cao Wei's elite soldiers to surrender like history, nor did he recruit a large number of Guan Ershu's elite Jingzhou army. Sixty thousand of his own elite soldiers died, and he also lost several generals.
It is impossible to pose a threat to yourself again within a few years.
Cao Wei also lost troops and generals this time.
Moreover, Cao Cao is about to die, and Cao Pi will be busy usurping the Han Dynasty from now on, so he will not pose a threat to himself for the time being.
As for Lao Liu, the situation is much better than the two of them... Of course, there is also the unstable factor of Nanzhong that needs to be resolved.
Today, Cao Wei's 30,000 surrendered soldiers not only supplement the troops, but also supplement a large number of strong laborers.
Naturally, the Yiling Fire will not happen again, and history is indeed changing in a direction that is beneficial to us.
But having said that, in the original history, Jiangdong acquired so many elites and occupied such wealthy places as Jingzhou and Yangzhou.
After so many years, there was no wave of waves. When the elites of Cao Wei and Jingzhou came into the hands of Soochow, they seemed to be assimilated. They were really out of touch with the world.
In fact, there was an episode during the negotiation. Sun Quan's favorability towards him was minus 66, Zhu Ran's was minus 28, and Zhuge Jin's was minus 20.
This made Liu Chan secretly amazed.
He thought that what he did would increase the favorability of these people.
Although according to Liu Chan's experience, more than minus 20 almost means that he has murderous intentions towards himself, but the favorability of these three people is still not as low as he expected.
It seems that the influence of personal emotions on the behavior of those engaged in politics is indeed smaller than that of ordinary people... Of course, Lao Liu is not among them.
Moreover, Sun Quan's negative 50 did not have temporary characteristics similar to Lu Xun's.
From this point of view, Lu Xun is really weird. He is obviously not an emotional person, and he doesn't know why he holds such a grudge against himself.
Is it because he was about to make a great contribution, but when he was rising to prominence in Soochow, his future was ruthlessly cut off by himself?
Or is he actually more concerned about the rise and fall of his family? Capturing him will cut off his possibility of continuing to climb up in Jiangdong. If he really serves his side, the Lu family remaining in Jiangdong will inevitably decline rapidly?
Liu Chan will never know the answer.
But even if everything is slaughtered, it doesn’t matter.
[Zhuge Liang’s favorability +1] (91)
[Guan Yu’s favorability +5] (83)
[Guan Yu's favorability is 80, his constitution is +10, his military talent is +10×2, his equestrian talent is +10×2, and his water fighting talent is +10×2]
[Zhang Fei’s favorability +5] (93)
[Zhang Fei's favorability is 90, his constitution is +10, his military talent is +10×2, his fist and kick talent is +12, and his equestrian talent is +10×2]
After the meeting, several colleagues in the industry showed a favorable impression of him.
Liu Chan looked at his attributes, physical fitness (134/200), and found that he was still 66 points away from being truly promoted to [excellent physical fitness].
Every improvement in physical fitness brings huge and all-round changes to oneself.
Liu Chan had experienced a significant increase not only in strength, but also in reaction, endurance, and even the five senses when he entered the battle alone.
Once promoted, it means that he can always maintain that state. When the time comes, with additional characteristics, his physical fitness will become even more outrageous...
The key point is that Liu Chang was only thirteen, and his body was not fully developed yet. When he reached adulthood... it was estimated that even if Lu Bu was reborn at his peak, he wouldn't be able to fight.
The best long-soldier talent (198/300), with another 102 points can be officially promoted to [Rare in the World]. With the double bonus of [Jingtianweidi] provided by Uncle Zhuge, it is estimated that it will not be slower than the improvement of physical fitness.
The strategy has also reached the level of [Extraordinary Talent] (Zheng Qi Qi San), and it is worthwhile to go to war personally.
In contrast, political strategy and power skills only have "excellent talents", and there is still room for improvement.
The improvement of his talents in farming and craftsmanship also reminded him of some things he had forgotten in his previous life, and he could just use the period of rest to practice them.
"The prince's negotiation with Sun Quan this time did not lose his majesty, but changed the reality. Not only did he let Sun Quan retreat, but he also took back Guiyang. If the king knew it, he would be overjoyed and he would definitely praise it greatly." Zhuge Liang said with a smile.
Seeing Liu Chan frighten Sun Quan into a daze, he was even happier than he had made great achievements.
Liu Chan curled his lips when he heard this: "That's not necessarily the case. I guess he might have a straight face and say 'secretly doing great things' when we first met!"
His expression and tone were very similar, and his appearance and voice were now about 60 or 70% similar to Old Liu's. Everyone seemed to have seen Old Liu's daily routine of lecturing him with a straight face, and they burst into laughter.
Just smiling, Guan Yu sighed: "Well, if it were not my fault, there would not be so many twists and turns. Now that Xiangfan has failed and almost lost Jingzhou, I have failed to trust my brother. I still go to Yi as a person. State, you have to apologize to the eldest brother in person."
"This time it was Sun Quan and his subordinates who did something unjust, but it's not the second uncle's fault." Liu Chan consoled him, "Besides, we took this opportunity to take back Guiyang. It was a blessing in disguise. I would say that the second uncle was not only not guilty, but actually meritorious." .”
Guan Yu's majestic face softened a lot when he heard this, he held his hands and smiled and said: "I owe this great victory to Adou. Speaking of which, my second uncle has not formally thanked me yet."
As he spoke, he actually wanted to bow and salute.
Liu Chan immediately held his hand, so quickly!
"Second uncle, if one family doesn't speak the same language, what are you doing?"
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "That's right, it's not practical at all. It's better to pair the screen with Adou in two years to show my gratitude, huh? Haha."
This was originally a joke, but Guan Yu laughed and said, "I had this intention for a long time, but Adou was young and never mentioned it."
When Zhang Fei heard that Guan Yu was serious, he deliberately made a serious face and said: "Married girls belong to married girls, but the princess must be my daughter. I made an agreement with my eldest brother when I was in Hanzhong."
Guan Yu also made a gesture and narrowed his eyes and said: "I have never heard of it. It is empty talk and there is no basis for it."
"Huh? I'll do what I say." Zhang Fei suddenly grabbed Guan Yu's arm.
Guan Yu always felt that Zhang Fei looked a little familiar, so he suddenly said this: "Are you here to fight?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, but then he quickly straightened his face deliberately: "You're the one I'm beating!"
The two looked at each other for a long time, smiling almost at the same time.
"Hahaha..." The two brothers held their arms and laughed, recalling the scene when they met back then.
Liu Chan was even more touched by this. It won't be long before the twenty-fifth year of Jian'an (AD 220). Originally, these two legendary figures were going to pass away one after another, but now they can see such a scene. It is worth their while to plan for many years.
Then all five people laughed. They won the battle and resolved the crisis. They were one step closer to realizing their dreams.
The river is passing away, but it is destined that these two people will no longer be able to get rid of them as planned.
…
Returning to Jiangling, Liu Chan and others immediately wrote a formal "Public Security Truce Agreement" based on the results of the negotiations, and stamped Guan Yu's seal on one copy.
Sun Quan did not play any more tricks when it came to the formal sealing and exchange of agreements.
The main reason is that the Shu navy is still in formation and will not let him go before signing the formal documents.
Afterwards, Guan Yu spent a few days briefly explaining the affairs of Jingzhou to Zhuge Liang, and then prepared to follow Liu Chan to Yizhou to meet his brother in person.
Zhuge Liang had already governed Jingzhou for three years, and then Guan Yu insisted on implementing the policies left by Zhuge Liang and not allowing anyone to change them, so the handover was very easy.
Even though the situation, territory and personnel have changed somewhat from the original, this is not a problem at all for Zhuge Liang, the master of internal affairs and the king of logistics.
As soon as Liu Chan returned to Jiangling, he ordered people to secretly liquidate Mi Fang's property, leaving only the family wealth that was usually "a little greedy".
Mi Shijun can be so "loyal and brave" at critical moments, how could he be a huge corrupt person?
Liu Chan donated the money to Jiangling in his own name to help with post-war reconstruction and the relocation and resettlement of the people in the future.
It can also be considered as taking it from the people and using it for the people.
Zhuge Liang knew that Liu Chan was doing a lot of business, so he didn't doubt it. Instead, he praised Liu Chan.
After all, when he first entered Yizhou, he used the huge reward to Lao Liu in a similar way.
So much so that when Liu Chan wanted to borrow money from him, he found that Uncle Zhuge's huge property had gone missing, so he extended his hand to his mother.
Another interesting thing happened during this period. Hao Pu, the prefect of Lingling, suddenly led more than 3,000 soldiers to Nanjun during this period.
After he heard about the situation and saw that the enemy army was no longer able to attack Lingling, he rushed over with the only available troops and horses to rescue Jiangling.
This incident almost frightened Sun Quan, who was in the police station. He didn't understand why Liu Chan wanted to tear up the agreement so quickly and launch a massive attack.
Although it didn't come in handy, Liu Chan still praised Hao Pu who came over.
After that, Sun Quan paid the money and food as agreed, retreated, and Guan Yu sent people to take over the public security again.
As long as Lao Liu sends officials and troops to Guiyang, all the contents of the truce agreement will be reached.
After Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang handed over matters in Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun temporarily led the Jingzhou army, new soldiers, and lowered soldiers to guard the place. Liu Chan and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei boarded the returning fleet with the Yizhou soldiers and horses rushing to rescue...
