Soldiers come to the world

After a while, he came back to report that the other party had indeed come to seek peace. He hoped that Liu Jing would let Jiang Dong go because of the marriage between the two families.

After reading Sun Quan's handwritten letter, Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, "What is the greatest sincerity? Can he agree to any conditions I ask?"

But Zheng said: "Judging from the attitude of the other party, it seems that they really have this intention, but they are afraid that His Highness will raise too much conditions."

Liu Jing sneered, "If I don't see the envoy, they'll say I'm arrogant, no matter what, I see him, but Lord Bo will go with me to meet him."

Liu Jing walked quickly to the first floor, but was also following behind. He suggested to Liu Jing: "Your Highness attacked Jiangdong, after all, there is no excuse, and the teacher is unknown. I suggest that Your Highness find a righteous excuse to seal The mouth of Jiangdong."

Liu Jing stopped in his tracks, pondered for a moment and smiled, "You're right, you need to find a righteous excuse."

In the passenger cabin on the first floor, Yan Jian seemed a little upset, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back. Sun Quan gave him an extremely heavy task when he was on an envoy to the Han army this time, which made him return with results no matter what. Enormous pressure.

The situation has developed to the point where it is now, how could the Han army retreat, how could he return with results.

In fact, Yan Yan knew in his heart that Jiangdong could not come up with any attractive conditions at all. The iron mines in Jiangbei had already been occupied by the Han army, and the food itself was not enough. Could it be possible to take the gold jewelry in stock, or beautiful women and famous craftsmen? Can impress Liu Jing.

At this time, footsteps came from outside the cabin, and the guard reminded in a low voice: "Han Wang is coming."

Turning his head around, Yan Qian saw Liu Jing walking in quickly, and he hurriedly stepped forward to give a deep salute, "Jiang Dong's Zhonglang general, Yan Qian, will meet His Highness the King of Han!"

"Mr. Yan, please sit down!"

Liu Jing's attitude was very serious, and he asked Yan Yan to sit down, but he was sitting opposite Yan Yan, and Liu Jing was sitting at the head, and several guards served them tea, Yan Yan bowed and said: "I am here under the order of Marquis Wu. When I pay my respects to His Highness King of Han, His Highness must have read Marquis Wu's letter, Jiang Dong is willing to do everything possible to avoid this war with the utmost sincerity, and I hope that His Highness will remember the people of Jiang Dong, and don't inflict any violence on the innocent people of Jiang Dong."

Speaking of this, Yan Yan's voice was a little choked up, but Liu Jing snorted coldly, "Let me think of the people of Jiangdong, but what did you do yourself? How many people left their homes and fled Jiangdong, how many innocent children lost their loved ones , The people of Jiangdong are suffering a lot, and the people are in dire straits. Could it be that I, Liu Jing, did this? Mr. Yan, please think about it, do the people of Jiangdong want me, Liu Jing, to save them, or do they want me, Liu Jing, to turn around and leave?"

The more Liu Jing spoke, the angrier he became. He stood up and went to the window, pushed open the window, and said bitterly for a long time: "Hundreds of thousands of Jiangdong people left their homes and fled to Han. They all said that the taxes in Jiangdong were heavier than Mount Tai. Officials are more ferocious than wolves, extorting and extorting violently, and ruining the people's families. This is because you care about the people, and Sun Quan did not hesitate to poison the people in the south of the Yangtze River for his own selfishness. But you officials do not dissuade them, but work for them, which is to help the evildoers!"

Liu Jing's words were like needles, every sentence pierced Yan Yan's heart, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and after a long while he smiled wryly and said: "Your Highness is right!"

"You can say that, and it shows that you have self-knowledge."

Liu Jing let the dissatisfaction in his heart calm down a little, and then he said sternly to Yan Yan: "Go back and tell Sun Quan that it is okay if I don't want to fight Jiangdong. He must fulfill three conditions. First, immediately announce that all the counties in Jiangdong will be exempted for three years. Taxation, recuperate with the people, and implement a tax of [-] taxes and [-] tax in three years, which is equal to that of the Han Dynasty; second, the choice of the people in Jiangdong must not be blocked, where they want to go is their freedom, and they cannot be stopped by force; Thirdly, Jiangdong is the Jiangdong of the great Han, not his Sun's private property. All usurpers must be removed, including the palace, concubines, officials, army and his power, and the system of prefectures and counties should be restored. The prefects of each county are appointed by the court, and the army is also the court The army should be appointed by the court, and Sun Quan has no right to build his own army."

Yan Yan was dumbfounded when he heard that, these three items clearly meant to deprive the Marquis of Wu of all his powers, the civil servants were appointed by the court, and the generals were appointed by the court, so what else would the Marquis of Wu have?

In fact, the latter two are not needed, the first one is enough to crush Jiangdong, exempt from taxes for three years, the army has long since starved to death, Yan Jian also knew that Liu Jing's words were insincere, and he had no sincerity in peace talks at all, he sighed secretly in his heart, and reluctantly argued He said: "Marquis Wu is also a county marquis after all, it seems unreasonable to deprive him of his territory and army like this!"

Bo, who was next to him, leaned forward and said, "His Royal Highness King Han's words are completely reasonable. According to the Han system, a country can only be established if the duke is above the state, so Duke Wei was able to build the Kingdom of Wei, His Royal Highness the King of Han was able to build the Kingdom of Han, and Marquis Wu is just a small county. Hou, what qualifications does he have to lead a country by himself? To appoint hundreds of officials and ministers to separate one side, this is treason, and everyone in the world can blame it!"

Yan Yan was speechless, so he could only say: "Then get down and reply to Marquis Wu!"

Liu Jing nodded, "I will give you ten days at most. Within ten days, Sun Quan must complete the above three points, and I will stop and withdraw, or I will fight against the rebels on behalf of the emperor!"

Yan Yan felt sad, so he had to leave. Liu Jing ordered his guards to send him away, but at this moment, he asked in a low voice: "Your Highness also knows that Sun Quan's separatist rule of Jiangdong is a conspiracy, why didn't he publicly launch a campaign against him?"

Liu Jing shook his head and said: "Although Cao Cao can no longer interfere with my crusade against Jiangdong militarily, he can still set up obstacles politically. If I issue an appeal too early, Cao Cao will push the boat along and make the emperor make Sun Quan king of Wu, and I will be punished by myself." I tied my hands and feet, but I went out without a name, and now I don’t make public calls, and Cao Cao can’t restrain me, and it’s not too late to make calls when the soldiers finally come to the city.”

But he was giving a thumbs up sincerely, "His Royal Highness has a high opinion!"

Liu Jing said indifferently: "When Yan Qian was sent as an envoy to the Han army, the high-ranking officials in Jiangdong didn't know about it, so they would definitely ask him about the situation. At that time, my three conditions will be spread. Whether Sun Quan agrees or not, I will do my best. "

But just as he nodded silently, he suddenly had an indescribable sympathy for Sun Quan. It was also his misfortune to have an enemy like the King of Han.

At this time, a guard came in and whispered something to Liu Jing, but Liu Jing said with a smile: "I have something to go out for a while, Master Bo please first!"

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

In Marquis Wu's study, Zhang Zhao, Bu Zhi and several important ministers listened to Yan Jian's report with dumbstruck eyes. They couldn't help but look at each other. Liu Jing's three conditions are clearly for Jiangdong to decide himself. How could it be possible?

Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan worriedly, only to see that Sun Quan didn't say a word, but stared at the vermilion pen in front of him sullenly. The key.

Over the years, Cao Cao fought step by step in order to legitimize the army and political power, and finally won the title of Duke Wei, and was able to establish a country. Liu Jing also fought desperately, and was finally named King of Han, enjoying the status of the king of a country justifiably. .

Only Sun Quan is still the county lord. Cao Cao made him Wu Gong twice, but he declined both times. He didn't want to be controlled by the court at first, but now he has become Liu Jing's handle to attack Jiangdong.

Usually no one takes it seriously, no matter Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, or Liu Zhang.It's not that they secretly call themselves emperors. Everyone is not surprised, and they are used to it. Jiangdong has been separated for many years, and arrogance has long since become a practice, and the world has become accustomed to it.

But once there is a need, overreach will immediately become Jiangdong's biggest handle and the enemy's sharpest tool. Liu Jing's use of overreach as an excuse to attack Jiangdong seems ridiculous, but when you think about it carefully, it is so terrifying. It means that Liu Jing has become famous as a teacher.

Sun Quan sighed a long time, and said with extreme fatigue: "Everyone, step back first! Let me be quiet for a while."

Indeed, everyone didn't know how to appease Sun Quan. Fortunately, Liu Jing gave ten days for everyone to think about it. What should they do?

Everyone retreated, Sun Quan stood up and said, "Go back to the harem and have a night banquet!"

At this time, Sun Quan didn't want to think about anything, he just wanted to get drunk and forget all his troubles

Yan Yan left Jianye Palace, and it was almost one o'clock. He was really tired and was about to return to his mansion in Moling City to rest. He just got into the carriage when he saw a person running from the opposite side and stopped him, "Man Please stay behind!"

When the visitor approached, Yan Yan realized that it was Zhuge Jin, the deputy governor. He was taken aback, it seemed that Zhuge Jin was not in the study just now, why didn't Marquis Wu let him participate in the discussion?

Zhuge Jin got into the carriage and said in a low voice: "My residence is under surveillance, I just need to wait here for Mancai."

"What happened?"

Yan Jian was even more surprised that Zhuge Jin's mansion was actually being watched by someone, by whom?As soon as he thought about it, he suddenly understood that there would be no one else except Marquis Wu.

"How could Marquis Wu spy on Duke Zhuge?"

Zhuge Jin sighed and said, "It's hard to say. For the aid of Jiaozhou, Marquis Wu is very angry with me. Let's not talk about this. I want to ask, what conditions did Liu Jing offer?"

Yan Jian didn't know whether he should tell Zhuge Jin that he and Zhuge Jin belonged to Zhang Zhao's northern faction, and they usually had a very good relationship, and they would talk about everything. He usually would not hide such confidential matters from Zhuge Jin, but now it is very During this period, it was really difficult for Yan Jian to deal with.

However, Yan Jian thought that many people knew about it, and the news would spread out tomorrow. It didn't matter if he said it now, so he sighed and said: "Liu Jing proposed three things that Wuhou couldn't do at all." condition."

He stated Liu Jing's three conditions to Zhuge Jin, and finally shook his head and said: "I can see that Marquis Wu is desperate, and even the military commander is speechless. Liu Jing gave ten days. It is clear that the Jiangdong officials are to choose their own way out, does Zhuge Gong have any ideas?"

Zhuge Jin shook her head, "I'm very confused now, and I don't know what to do. Thank you Man for telling me the secret."

"This matter is absolutely confidential, Zhuge Gong must not tell anyone, so as not to cause confusion."

"I know, I will keep it a secret."

Zhuge Jin got out of the carriage, turned around and trotted towards the carriage parked in the distance, Yan Yan felt very disappointed in his heart, should he also consider his own future?
