Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1374

After this battle, the Ming army had penetrated deep into the tiger's den.

Wu State is in charge of Jiangdong, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses can be gathered. However, the Ming army came all the way from Chaisang along the waterway. There is no logistics and no reinforcements. surrounded.

Not to mention their combat effectiveness now, this determination alone has proved one point.

The Ming army has already prepared to die together.

If Wu Jun really wanted to exterminate them, he had to do a good job of burning them and the entire Jianye City, including the monarch of the Wu Dynasty, and all the civil and military officials in the Wu Dynasty.

such a price.

Wu Guo couldn't afford it.

For the sake of the two Ming armies, to destroy the accumulation of the Wu State over the years, and to destroy the foundation of the Wu State court, no matter how this business is done, it is an uneconomical business.

"Brother Zhuge, this is the end of the matter. It is impossible for us to let you go so easily. You don't need to scare us here. Since our country of Wu has already lost, we have paid the price for losing. The big deal is that we don’t want to build a business anymore, besides the great king, there are also the eldest prince and the second prince in the state of Wu, who have an unbroken orthodoxy, and they will definitely live their lives and taste their courage, and take the shame of your Ming country!"

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, and did not show weakness, but said more firmly: "But before that, I promise that Jianye City, which none of you can get out of, would rather fight my ten-year national fortune of Wu Kingdom, and I will take all of you The extinction of the world is in it!"

"Brother Gongjin is declaring war?"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan. He also knew that Wu Guo would not be so easily subdued. Wu Guo had already established a state, and the dignity of a court was greater than everything else, including the life of their monarch.

But at this time, the Ming army could not be timid.

The battle has begun.

But it just depends on who can hold it. If you can hold it, you will win. If you can’t hold it, you will be defeated. This is true on the battlefield, and it is also the same on the negotiation table.

"Brother Zhuge, hasn't your Ming kingdom already declared war? You have attacked the capital of Wu, slaughtered the people of Wu, and imprisoned our monarch. This humiliation cannot be washed away without blood!"

Zhou Yu's face was calm and cold.

"Brother Gongjin, you are wrong again!" Zhuge Liang shook his head: "My country of Ming is not a person who wantonly provokes wars. It is not us who declare war, but your country of Wu. Since ancient times, only the kingdom of Wu can win God's will, but now, you have colluded with the Cao thief and trapped our Ming country in the fire and water. How can we sit and wait for our Ming country to die? Today we have come in and attacked Jianyedu just to tell you one thing, I want to If you want to be an enemy of our Ming country, you must be prepared to be retaliated by us, your Wu country is the first, but definitely not the second!"

The aura on Zhuge Liang's body changed instantly. He was a scholar who was aggressively attacking, but he could feel it very clearly. The strong killing intent was already revealed.

"My tyrant Xiong Jingping of the Ming Dynasty has tens of thousands of sons and daughters in the two armies. He has the heart to kill himself for benevolence, and he is not afraid of the regret of burying his bones in a foreign country!" Zhuge Liang said straightforwardly: "If you want to talk, we can talk, and if you want to fight, you can do it!" , we can die in battle, but you may not be able to destroy us all, maybe we still have a chance to break out, and I guarantee that even if we fight to the last one soldier, we will never surrender half of us!"

"But you have to think about the result. Now that Jianye City is in our hands, if you dare to attack, we dare to massacre the city. Jianye City will definitely be burned to nothingness, just like the old city Luoyang City, even we will do more viciously than the Luoyang City back then, I guarantee that as long as the war is together, you will not find a single ant alive in this Jianye City!"

Zhuge Liang's words made Zhou Yu feel a chill all over his body, a chill rose slowly from his back and went straight to his heart, making his teeth tremble uncontrollably.

Burn the city.

Ordinary people seldom dare to do this. After all, it hurts the harmony of nature and violates the way of nature. It is not good to say that it is not good for oneself, but it is better to be reviled by the people of the world.

Obviously, it's not worth the candle.

But someone did.

And it wasn't just ordinary cities that were burned.

Luoyang City.

The imperial capital of the Great Han Dynasty.

In the end, it was destroyed by a fire by Mujing. How many princes witnessed this scene. It was also from that moment that Mujing started his journey. Over the years, the prestige of Mujing's killing is not as good as that of the fire back then. Come fiercely.

Back then, most of the people in Luoyang City had been hijacked by Dong Zhuo and gone to the west. The casualties of this fire were actually not large, but even so, it caused immeasurable casualties. How many people died in the sea of ​​flames that burned the city .

If the current Jianye is burned by a fire, not to mention Sun Jian and the others, the entire Jianye has been migrating to more than ten or twenty people, it will also be swallowed up with a fire .

"Zhuge Kongming, you and the Ming army are so cruel and fierce, aren't you afraid of being punished by heaven one day?" Zhou Yu's face was gloomy, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his expression.

If possible, he really wanted to kill the person in front of him on the spot.

But he dared not.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Zhuge Liang. He even dared to assassinate Zhang Jin who was invincible in the past. Although he is not strong in martial arts, he is best at seizing opportunities.

If he makes a move, the person in front of him has less than a [-]% chance of surviving.

But he dared not.

Everything has a purpose. Killing Zhang Jin back then was a risk, but after killing Zhang Jin, there would be no danger, because Zhang Jin was unpopular.

But now that he is going to kill Zhuge Liang who is close at hand, there is nothing to talk about. The whole Jianye will be destroyed in a fire. The consequences are too unbearable.

"For the Ming Dynasty, if the heavens punish me, I will bear it with all my strength!"

Zhuge Liang said calmly.

His personality is like this, he is not easy to trust people, and he will not talk easily, but once the defense line in his heart is knocked down, he will be very thorough in surrendering to a person.

He regards Mujing as the wise master.

Since I have devoted myself to the Ming Dynasty, I will die!
Even if you give everything, you don't hesitate.

"Since that's the case, we have nothing to talk about!" Zhou Yu calmed down and looked at Zhuge Liang. He remembered Zhuge Liang. If he had a chance, he must kill this person. Otherwise, the Wu Kingdom in the future would be too dangerous. It was ruined by this fierce man, and he continued to speak in a low voice, "In a word, we let you go, and you let Jianyedu go!"

"no!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head.

"Then you are forcing us to send troops. I can tell you directly that our army can gather [-] people in five days at most. If it takes more than half a month, we can even send back the elite who conquered Shanyue. At that time, I guarantee that you will It's hard to fly with wings, you really think you've pinched our weakness, without a Jianye City, we can build a second one, the backbone of the Wu Kingdom will not be easily broken by you!"

Zhou Yu's voice was much higher, but his confidence was lacking, but Zhuge Liang heard it. He concluded that the soldiers outside the city would not attack the city, because they did not dare. In addition to Jianye City, there was also Sun Jian, the monarch of the Wu Kingdom, in the city. , as well as the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Wu State.

"Whether I can break the backbone of Wu Guo, I can't guarantee it, but at least I can beat Wu Guo's anger, without Jianye, without Sun Wentai, without Wu Guo Chaotang, your Wu Guo will fall into a slump, At that time, we don't even need to send troops, Cao Mengde will let you go, or do you expect the court to really treat you as confidantes!"

Zhuge Liang told Zhou Yu one thing very bluntly, that is, as long as we cripple you, then you Jiangdong will be in dire straits.

Your seven inches are already within our control.

So don't be so forceful when negotiating terms.

"How the imperial court will treat my country of Wu, don't bother you, brother Zhuge, to guess. At least until today, the emperor still trusts my country of Wu!" Zhou Yu was steady and was not intimidated by Zhuge Liang. He dared to take half a step back, because he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would speak loudly.

Once this opening is opened.

At that time, the entire country of Wu will have to pay for it.

At this time, he could only hold on firmly, even if he couldn't hold on, he had to hold on firmly, otherwise, he couldn't guarantee how much the Wu country would pay.

But he was also under a lot of psychological pressure.

Because he knew that Wu could not fight this battle, and Wu could not afford to lose it. Once the war started, even if they lost two or two soldiers here in the end, so what.

The Ming army only lost two soldiers and horses, but the state of Wu was on the verge of collapse.

In Wu, only Sun Jian can survive.

It's not that Sun Ce can't control the overall situation.

But his character is too tough, Sun Jian can bear anger, he must not be able to bear it, and in the end naturally he can't combine the power of the entire Wu country, this is where he can't compare with Sun Jian.

At that time, the state of Wu is bound to have civil strife. Even if Sun Ce finally quells the internal strife with this powerful military capability, the state of Wu will be seriously injured.

"Really?" Zhuge Liang smiled evilly and said, "I really don't know what the Son of Heaven thinks, but I do know that Bandit Cao doesn't necessarily think so!"

"Humph!"

Zhou Yu said: "Don't try to provoke dissension. My King Wu and King Wei are related by marriage. How can King Wei stand by and watch the chaos in Wu Kingdom!"

"Since you want to think so, I can't help it!"

Zhuge Liang shrugged.

"In a word, you Ming army, what do you want to do before you are willing to withdraw your troops!" Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and asked. Although this somewhat lacked confidence, he couldn't continue to procrastinate, Zhuge Liang could just look around. Tell him, he can't do it, this is the country of Wu, if you delay it for a day, even for an hour, you will slap the face of the country of Wu one by one.

"It's okay to withdraw troops!"

Zhuge Liang finally waited for what he wanted to wait, but in fact he couldn't afford it. After all, it would be a bit too bad if these two soldiers and horses were buried here.

We must know how much the Ming Dynasty paid to develop the combat effectiveness of the two naval armies, and how much labor and money was spent to launch each warship from the dock workshop.

Over the years, the combat effectiveness of the navy has been developing. One by one, one by one, one by one, the battleships are constantly launched into the water, and they are constantly in service. Countless sailors have received better training. All of this Well, that's because Mujing attaches great importance to water combat power, and even spends a lot of budget for land troops on the navy.

If they really folded the two elite naval forces in Jiangdong, then for the Ming Dynasty, this must be a deal, and it would really be a big loss.

"But you must meet our three conditions!"

Zhuge Liang put away his aggression. Since we want to talk at this time, we should be more gentle. Everyone calm down and see if we can talk.

"Speak!" Seeing Zhuge Liang's situation, Zhou Yu felt a little regretful. Obviously, he couldn't hold back in this negotiation. Since the Ming army is willing to talk, it means that they don't necessarily have much courage to continue. Hit it down.

"First, Wu Guo immediately withdraws from the alliance against our Ming country, declares to the world, and restores our Ming country's reputation!"

Zhou Yu was not surprised by this.

Wu joined the alliance against Ming, which angered Ming, and led to such a fierce and desperate raid by the Ming army.

In fact, for the Ming Dynasty to fight back, this is something that the princes can imagine.

It's just that Wu Guo couldn't think of it.

The Ming Congress was the first to take action against Wu, and in this way, it was even more unexpected that the combat effectiveness of the Ming navy was no longer what it used to be, and there were even soldiers hiding in the East China Sea.

Otherwise, Wu Guo would not be so passive.

That's all there is to it.

All regrets are useless.

The deployment of the crusade against the Ming Kingdom, in fact, has been consciously given up since the Ming army appeared under Jianye City, and the Wu Kingdom has been consciously abandoned.

"What about the second point?" Zhou Yu didn't respond, but looked at Zhuge Liang's next point first while taking advantage of his anger.

"Secondly, our Ming army always needs food and fodder for long-distance raids. This battle is not the intention of our Ming country. If it weren't for your Wu country's battle, how could this happen. When your Wu country is in charge, you have to pay one billion yuan. , for food and fodder!"

Zhuge Liang said calmly.

"Reparations?" Zhou Yu understood immediately.

It's hard though.

But it's not unacceptable.

Lost after all.

Moreover, one billion yuan is not much, Wu Guo can bear it.

"continue!"

Zhou Yu was calm. He knew that there was still more to talk about, and he had to listen to Zhuge Liang's conditions comprehensively before talking about it. Don't be too impatient, otherwise it would be easy to follow Zhuge Liang's way.

This Zhuge Liang is definitely not easy to deal with, no matter it is knowledge, mind, city government, or reaction ability, they are all top-notch, even if there is a slight gap, he will seize the opportunity.

"third!"

Zhuge Liang didn't expect Zhou Yu to be able to hold his breath so calmly this time, which made him even more afraid of Zhou Yu. The man in front of him was not a little sheep. Under his handsome and harmless handsome face, there was a wolf like a tiger. Ordinary fierce heart.

Have to be careful.

He continued: "The mistakes made by the state of Wu must be borne by the state of Wu itself. In order to explain to the people of our Ming state, the state of Wu must sever the territory and hand over the eastern state as an apology!"

"Is your tone not small?"

Zhou Yu's eyes became sharp all of a sudden: "Even if we are willing to cut off Jiaozhoudong, do you dare to take it?"

Apologize.

indemnity.

Finally cede land.

It's really one ring after another, this is pitting Wu Guo to death.

Anything can be taken over.

Territory must not be lost, this is the foundation of Wu State, it is better to fight than to lose half an inch of territory.

"You dare to give it, why don't we dare to take it!"

Zhuge Liang said forcefully: "When we come here, Jianye has gone, and what should be fought has been fought. You can't let us go away empty-handed. How can I be worthy of the king, and how can I be worthy of the people of Ming Dynasty!"

"Is it because I agreed to three conditions, you will withdraw?"

Zhou Yu took a deep breath.

"Of course!" Zhuge Liang said calmly, "But the King of your country wants to personally escort us south to Chaisang, and it will be Chaisang when we arrive, so we will let them go!"

"Zhuge Kongming, your calculations are flawless!" Zhou Yu sneered: "First rectify the name, then pay compensation, then cede land, and finally hostages. You don't really think that our country of Wu is up to you!"

"Not now!"

Zhuge Liang said: "Brother Gongjin, don't talk too much, we can afford to lose, can you afford to lose, or, you will die with us, don't forget, Jiangdong is not peaceful, you have dominated the aristocratic family , Suppressing the Shanyue tribe, that matter has not been completed, it is all a pit, be careful to be bitten back, when the time comes, the Sun regime will be safe and peaceful, but maybe!"

Zhou Yu's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes turned cold.

Zhuge Liang is so smart.

The first is the pressure from foreign aggression.

Then, using internal worries as a breakthrough point, he abruptly exposed the hidden dangers of Wu Guo's current turmoil. Even his confidence could not help but be shaken a little.

"That doesn't bother Brother Zhuge to worry about my country of Wu!"

Zhou Yu said in a cold voice.

"I have put forward the conditions, whether you are willing to accept it or not is up to you!"

Zhuge Liang turned around and said, "I will only give you one day to wait. After all, our Ming army still has a chance to die, but once we wait for three days, with hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, our Ming army will lose its advantage." !"

Looking at Zhuge Liang's figure, Zhou Yu really wanted to give the signal to the archers hiding behind him to shoot him directly, but he hesitated for a long time, but still didn't dare.

…………

Zhou Yu returned to the Chinese army and agreed.

He personally told Sun Ce all the conditions proposed by Zhuge Liang in detail.

Sun Ce was naturally furious, he wished he could directly mount his gun on his horse, charge in, and compete with the Ming army in a life-and-death decisive battle.

But after all, he was worried about the father and king in the city.

"Can we talk?"

Sun Ce gritted his teeth and asked Zhou Yu.

"There should be room for it. They are not so tough. Whether it is compensation or land cession, let's cut it in half. They don't dare to go too far. They don't dare to go all out until the final juncture!"

Zhou Yu saw the matter a little thoroughly.

"Could it be that my country, Wu, just surrendered like this!"

Wu Jing was not reconciled.

"Let's pretend to be false first, save the father and king before we talk!"

Sun Ce didn't want to admit it.

But I have to admit it.

He gritted his teeth and said, "But as long as there is a chance, attack!"
