Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1043 Shu King Liu Ji
Chapter 1041: Shu King Liu Ji

Berkshire, Jiangzhou.

Liu Yu sent Zhang Song as an envoy to Berkshire, but when Zhang Song arrived in Jiangzhou, Liu Ji avoided seeing him and left Zhang Song aside for several days.

Of course Liu Ji knew the purpose of envoy Liu Yuqi's visit. After all, although the two Lius were constantly at odds, Chi You was the biggest threat to Yizhou, and fighting alone was no match for them, so joint confrontation was the general trend.

Although Liu Ji knew this point in his heart, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to find Liu Yu to join forces. After all, Liu Yan had betrayed him once before, so Liu Ji was waiting for Liu Yu to take the initiative to beg him, and then he would also The lion can open his mouth.

While Liu Ji was waiting for Liu Yu's envoy to come over, he was also worried that Liu Yu would beat Liu Yan. After all, although Liu Yu had a good reputation in Yizhou, Liu Ji didn't take these false names seriously.

In Liu Ji's opinion, Liu Yu is definitely not Chi You's opponent. After all, compared to the sinister and calm Liu Yan, Liu Yu is undoubtedly younger and more impulsive, while Chi You is an opponent with almost no weaknesses.

Therefore, although Liu Ji believes that Liu Yu is doomed to lose, he also hopes that Liu Yu will not lose too badly. After all, if Liu Yu loses all the wealth of the Yizhou Army, even if Liu Ji joins forces with him, it will be difficult for him to lose. Beat Chi You back.

But the final result far exceeded Liu Ji's expectation.

Although Liu Yu still lost to Chi You, the loss was not miserable, it could only be regarded as a small defeat, and he still had the power to fight against Chi You.

No, perhaps not even a small defeat, for the Yizhou army, it was a victory despite a defeat.

In the past, the Yizhou army had repeatedly fought against Chi You, so that they were timid before the battle started. However, under the command of Liu Yu, the Yizhou army showed courage. In the future, they will not be afraid of Chi You when facing the Nanman .

In the battle with Chi You, Liu Yu fully proved his ability to command troops, which naturally made Liu Ji fearful of him, but what Liu Ji feared the most was Liu Yu's ability to control people's hearts and employ people.

Both Chen Ping and Liu Ji thought that Liu Yan was nothing to worry about. It was because Liu Yan's own ability was low, and he had lost the hearts of the people, the army, and the hearts of his subjects. Liu Yu in the position of Yan is so outstanding.

Liu Yu is different from Liu Yan, just like Liu Bian and Liu Xie are different from Liu Hong.

Although Liu Yan did a lot of stupid things, his death is like a lamp being extinguished, and Liu Yu does not need to take the blame for these.

Even as long as Liu Yu performs better than Liu Yan, all the civil and military officials in Yizhou will still think that Liu Yu is worthy of assistance, but now Liu Yu's performance in all aspects has surpassed Liu Yan, which is naturally bitter in the hearts of the civil and military officials in Yizhou Waiting for the Ming Lord.

Although Chi You's threat is great, he is a foreigner after all, and Liu Yu is not only a Han, but also a Han family clan, so Liu Ji has a faint premonition that Liu Yu may be the biggest obstacle to his unification of Yizhou.

Thinking of this, Liu Ji was extremely afraid of Liu Yu, but he would not stab his allies in the back like Liu Yan did, after all, that would only benefit Chi You.

Liu Ji was not sure that he could deal with Chi You with his family, but after cutting off Chi You's threat, he would definitely attack Liu Yu immediately.

But before that, Liu Ji naturally wanted to fight for some benefits. After all, he had already asked for it, so he would definitely kill him.

Liu Ji also knew that the war in southern Sichuan was tense, so he didn't just let Zhang Song dry out. After three days, he "reluctantly" met Zhang Song accompanied by Chen Ping and others.

There are a lot of content in the bilateral negotiations, such as cutting down the garrison on the border and so on, but the biggest difference is in the cession of territory.

Liu Yu wanted the well-being of others, and the territory he promised to cede to Liu Ji was Xinggu County, which had been completely occupied by Chi You.

Naturally, it was impossible for Liu Ji to agree. After all, he was not a fool. Of course, the territory he conquered by sending troops was his own. Why did Liu Yu use it to cede it to himself?

Liu Ji asked Liu Yu to cede Jiangyang County or Zitong County to himself.

Although Jiangyang County and Zitong County are not big, one is the east gate of Chengdu and the other is the north gate of Yizhou, and they are both surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Of course, it is impossible for Liu Yu to give such an important place to Liu Ji, and the envoy Zhang Song does not have this right either.

The negotiation came to a stalemate, but Liu Ji was not in a hurry at all, he didn't even talk to Zhang Songfei from the beginning to the end.

Liu Ji just put on an attitude of disdain, indifference, and watching the other side lose both sides, while Chen Ping and Zhang Song were the ones to talk about the negotiation.

With the perfect cooperation of Liu Ji and Chen Ping, Zhang Song couldn't figure out Liu Ji's true thoughts, and with the tight frontline battle, Liu Yu was almost unable to hold on.

After receiving Zhang Song's several requests for instructions, Liu Yu also knew that he had to produce something genuine in order to show the sincerity of this alliance, so he could only make some compromises, but it was impossible to cede an entire county.

Finally, after a series of negotiations, Liu Yu agreed to cede two counties in Jiangyang County and three counties in Zitong County, a total of five small counties that are not important and relatively poor.

Liu Ji knew that it was impossible for Liu Yu to give himself a complete county. Although he failed to get Jiangyang or Zitong this time, the harvest of the five counties was not small.

There is also a clause in the alliance agreement that the borders of the two sides should each disarm, and the number of garrisons should not exceed [-], so whether it is Liu Ji or Liu Yu, they can also safely transfer troops from other places.

After Liu Yu transferred most of the surplus troops on the eastern front to the southern front for defense, the pressure he suffered was finally much less.

What Liu Yu thought was self-protection, but what Liu Ji thought was expansion. He wanted to conquer the land in southern Sichuan that Liu Yu had lost, so he decided to personally lead an army of [-] to attack Xinggu County.

But just before sending troops, Liu Ji got the news that Dong Zhuo was dead from Wang Yue's big man.

"I didn't expect Dong Zhuo to die like this." Liu Ji said with a look of surprise.

"Furthermore, someone from Chang'an has received definite information that Xie'er may have already fallen into Qin Hao's hands."

Said, Wang Yue handed the information to Liu Ji, and Liu Ji was more and more shocked as he looked at it.

"Jia Xu is actually Qin Hao's secret son. Here Jia Xu brought the emperor back to the east, while Jia Fu killed the killer there. Qin Hao almost didn't waste much effort to get rid of Dong Zhuo, the great enemy..."

Liu Ji said solemnly: "Qin Hao's methods are really powerful."

Wang Yue nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Xie'er has already fallen into Qin Hao's hands, Your Highness needs to make early plans."

On the other hand, a gleam flashed in Chen Ping's eyes, and he said with a smile: "Congratulations, my lord, congratulations, my lord."

"Oh? Where does the joy come from?" Liu Ji asked with some doubts.

"Of course, my lord, the best time for you to become king has come"

"What? Be king?"

Liu Ji was completely dumbfounded.
