Chapter 682 Disagreement
"What are the conditions of the Bu Association this time?" Du Yu said indifferently, not very concerned about this matter.

Linghu Sheng said: "The Bu family will continue to oversee the two counties of Jianping and Yidu. There will be no Daqin officials, and the taxes will be collected by themselves."

"Buxie is wishful thinking." Du Yu refused without even thinking about it.

"You can appoint it secretly, and then use the attack on Jiangling to destroy Guo and take Xiling!"

Xiling is on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, guarding the Three Gorges, and is the gateway for the Qin army to leave Jingxiang in the east.

The Bu family has been in business for more than [-] years, with a solid foundation and it is difficult to attack by force.

The Qin State suppressed the tyrants of the gentry, and the Concession Association has always had lingering fears.

That's why this condition is put forward.

From Soochow's perspective, these conditions are not excessive.

Soochow was a little ahead of Sima's family, and had actually entrusted the gentry.

What the BFA wants is only the place they occupy, and they think it is reasonable.

"You might as well report this matter to the king, and let the king decide." Luo Xian reminded kindly.

Du Yu shook his head, "This is absolutely impossible. Your Majesty regards the equalization of land as a national policy, how can you let the Bu family become a country within a country? Once this example is opened, what do the nobles and powerful families in the country think?"

Du Yu was a staunch defender of the land equalization system.

Linghu Sheng's face darkened.

The two are completely different styles.

Linghu Shengju's clan was destroyed, and for revenge, as long as Daqin could become stronger and attack the Sima clan earlier, he would do everything he could.

But Du Yu has his own moral standards, and the power of the governor of Shuzhong is in his hands, and he has made a decision, so he cannot change it.

Luo Xian stood by Du Yu's side, "The Bu family is still hesitating, and their minds are undecided. If our army is dispatched, Lu Kang will come against the current. The snipe and the clam will fight, the stone bud will win, and Jiangling will be the land of Jin!"

The state of Qin was not prepared for a large-scale eastward movement, so it might not be a good thing to intervene in Jingzhou at this time.

At present, it is still a nominal ally with Soochow.

Half of Jingxiang is in the hands of Wu and half is in the hands of the Sima family. Everyone can accept it, but if all of them fall into the hands of the Sima family, it will be bad for Qin and Wu.

Du Yu gave Luo Xian an approving look, "That's right. Lu Kang stationed troops in Le Township instead of supporting Jiangling. It was our army who was taking precautions. There are many disasters in Guanzhong right now. The timing is not right. The Infantry Association may not really return to Qin. Why not?" Wait and see."

When Wu and Jin fought each other, Qin was on the sidelines, so there was no need to intervene in the war between the two countries prematurely.

Even if Xiling is captured, with the virtue of Soochow Wu, the navy will inevitably come out and come back to the river.

The Qin cavalry is the best in the world, but the navy is still in its infancy.

This is also one of the reasons why Du Yu was reluctant to intervene early.

"If Buxie doesn't get what it wants in Daqin, it will definitely contact Sima in secret!" Linghu Sheng was unwilling to give up.

Du Yu frowned and said, "If this is the case, it will be a great fortune for the country!"

Luo Xian understood, "The governor said that if the Bu family surrendered to the Sima clan, the war between Jin and Wu would expand?"

"Exactly!" Du Yu walked to the sand table and pointed to the location of Xiling, "Sima won Xiling, and the defense line of the Yangtze River that Soochow had been operating for decades would collapse, and Jiangling, Lexiang, Xiakou, and Chaisang in the lower reaches would be destroyed." If they cannot be defended, how can Dongwu sit and wait for death? They will fight for Xiling with all the people in the country!"

Xiling is a hornet's nest. Whoever stabs Xiling is stabbing Soochow's lifeblood. Can Soochow not risk his life?
If it is a plain, Qin State is naturally not afraid of Soochow's death, but the dense water network in the south of the Yangtze River is not conducive to cavalry, and it is the Sima family who is cheaper than Wu State.

Linghu Sheng Chong bowed his hands to Du Yu and said nothing more.

No one knew what was going on in his mind.

Luo Xian said: "Lu Kang's reputation has risen in the past few years, let's see if his reputation is too real in this battle!"

Under the city of Jiangling, Shi Bao gradually became restless.

The Bu family has managed Xiling for nearly 40 years, and the Shi family has guarded Jiangling for more than [-] years since Zhu Ran replaced Lu Meng.

Combined with the power of Zhu and Shi, Shi Ji's family is the largest gentry in Soochow, with strong strength.

Even if he suffered a big loss under Jiangling City, he could still withstand Shi Bao's onslaught.

"The Enemy of Thousands of People" Yan Xun also failed to attack, his old injuries added new ones, and he was unable to go into battle, so he could only return to Xiangyang to recuperate.

"If you don't destroy Jiangling, you will never return to the army!" Shi Bao was determined to take Jiangling as a gift for Sima Yan's ascension to the throne.

Jiangling is at its weakest moment in decades.

This time I didn't take it, and I don't know when the next time will be.

"Situ, there are secret envoys from Xiling!" the soldiers whispered.

Shi Bao was taken aback for a moment, then ecstatically, he naturally knew why Xiling sent the envoy at this time, "Please hurry up!"

After a while, the personal guards led the envoys to come.

"Buchan pays respects to Shi Sikong!"

Bu Chan is Bu Xie's younger brother, the Bu family sent him here with full sincerity.

The Bu Association intends to attach itself to the Qin State, but Bu Chan advocates defecting to the Sima Clan to maximize the interests of the Bu family.

The Sima family entrusted the gentry to be powerful, which made the Jiangdong gentry greedy.

Since the Three Kingdoms, the gentry in Jiangdong have suffered much more than the gentry in the Central Plains.

If you want land to grab by yourself, if you want parts and population, you can fight Baiyue by yourself...

Soochow used to have only six counties, but now it includes Yang, Jing, Guang, and Jiaozhou, forty counties, and more than three hundred counties. The territory is not small...

The contribution of the powerful gentry is not small.

The Lu family developed by beating Baiyue people back then.

Only when Zhuge Ke recruited 20 Baiyue people would he be admired by Sun Quan and eventually become prime minister.

The gentry in the Central Plains live so comfortably. Under the land occupation system, the land and population are all ready-made. You just need to lie down and eat grass by the side of the nest. It’s okay to engage in internal strife. If something happens, the Sima family will go to the...

"The people in Jiangdong really look extraordinary." Shi Bao praised, and quickly drew closer to Bu Chan.

The Bu family is rich in beauties and handsome men, and the reputation of Bu trainers is not inferior to that of Xiao Qiao.

Bu Chan said joyfully, "Situ Miao praises it."

Shi Bao smiled and said, "I don't know why the general Bu is seeing someone at this time?"

"The gentry in Jiangdong have admired the King of Jin for a long time. Chante came to pay a visit to Situ and admire the style of the Central Plains." Bu Chan's eyes lit up.

Shibao is old in the rivers and lakes, the meaning of natural steps.

But right now is the critical moment to attack Jiangling, there is no time to pretend, "General Bu, don't need to worry too much, King Jin is the king of benevolence and righteousness, and he will never treat the Bu family poorly!"

When things come out, it depends on how to negotiate the price.

Bu Chan stared at Shi Bao, suddenly felt a little uneasy, would Shi Bao rush to help Xiling for the Bu family?

Lu Kang and Du Yu were watching from the sidelines.

The situation of the Bu family is not good, and Shi Ji has been offended by besieging Xiangyang this time.

There is always someone to blame for defeat.

Sun Hao is not a considerate master, and the Bu family is in constant panic.

At this moment, there was a burst of cheers from the city wall.

"Situ, overjoyed, Shi Ji was seriously injured and fell into a coma on the city wall!" The guards ran over excitedly.

Shi Bao stood up abruptly from the straw mat, ignoring Bu Chan any more.

Xiling surpasses Jiangling in the military sense, but Jiangling is not comparable to Xiling in the political sense!
This is what Shi Bao wants now, "General, wait a moment, I will come back when I go!"

Surrender cannot be settled overnight.

It's also good to dry out the steps.

With the attitude of willing to welcome or refuse, I don't know how long to bargain.

And Jiangling is right in front of you!
After all, he ignored Bu Chan and strode away.

Bu Chan's words came to his lips, and he finally swallowed them down, leaving the Jin army's camp in disappointment.
