Chapter 698 The Last Harvest

_up;

At the same time that Liu Jing went to worship Zhou Yu, in the Qinzheng Hall of Jianye Palace, Zhang Zhao started negotiations on behalf of Jiang Dong and Sima Yi. Apart from Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and Yu Fan were also sitting on Jiang Dong's side, and Sima Yi was the only one on the other side. With Liu Min, Liu Min, as Sima Yi's assistant, also sat at the bottom. 5

"Master Zhang, this is the second time we have dealt with each other!"

Sima Yi smiled and said, "I hope this time, like last time, we can reach a consensus smoothly."

Zhang Zhao smiled faintly, "Our two families are a brotherly nation, with a close relationship, and even a marriage between Qin and Jin. But as the saying goes, brothers have to settle accounts clearly. I think we should be more frank about some things. What do you think of Mr. Sima?"

Sima Yi nodded, "I really like Zhang Junshi's word 'honesty'."

"Since that's the case, then I'll cut to the chase. We want to know why Liu Zhoumu asked Jiangdong to send troops to the Central Plains?"

"We can't say demand. The word 'demand' is too strong. We have no right to ask Jiangdong to do anything. We want Jiangdong to send troops. The purpose is of course very simple. Weaken Cao Cao's strength. Whether it is against Jingshu or Jiangdong benefit."

Sima Yi knew very well what Zhang Zhao meant, that he wanted to set this matter up as the Han army begging Jiang Dong for help, and then he could open his mouth in terms of conditions, so Sima Yi must avoid this point, and he wanted Jiang Dong to understand that not only The Han army benefited, and Jiangdong also benefited.

Zhang Zhao shook his head, "Frankly speaking, we don't have any plans for the Northern Expedition for the time being, especially after the defeat in Hefei, the soldiers and civilians in Jiangdong are very resistant to the Northern Expedition. We plan to go to the Southern Expedition. Now that Liu Zhoumu has a request, let's just say hope! I hope we Sending troops to the Central Plains, not to mention dispatching troops, preparing supplies, and more importantly, the Marquis of Wu must first convince the civil and military officials, and also change the plan for the southern expedition. We will spend a lot of manpower and material resources on these, I hope you can understand at this point."

Zhang Zhao was sharp-tongued, and blocked Sima Yi's retreat one by one. More importantly, he knew that the other party was here to beg Jiang Dong, and even Liu Jing came to Jiang Dong in person, which showed that the other party was expecting Jiang Dong to send troops. Look forward to seeking the greatest benefits for Jiangdong. 2

Sima Yi nodded, "We also know Jiangdong's difficulties, so Jingzhou will give Jiangdong a certain amount of compensation. Lu Zijing should have told Wuhou that we plan to assign Changsha County and Hengyang County to Jiangdong as compensation for sending troops. I think Zhang Military divisions should also know!" <County is just one choice, if Jiangdong doesn't want Changsha and Hengyang counties, then you can choose Qichun County. "

"Mr. Zhang, I am a frank person. I think our two families should be honest with each other. We can send troops, but the conditions are slightly different from yours."

Sima Yi looked at Zhang Zhao's unconcealed pride. He already guessed the other party's conditions in his heart. We also want the county without saying a word, that is, all three counties will belong to Jiangdong. In addition, he also hopes that Jingzhou can afford this time. There are only so many conditions for the military rations for the army's northern expedition. Is it possible to agree? "

Sima Yi's heart suddenly burned with anger, it was too much, and even asked the three counties of Jingzhou, not only that, but also Jingzhou to pay for the military rations, Sima Yi said coldly: "When we sent tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers back to Jiangdong, there were no conditions. , why is Jiangdong so harsh?"

Zhang Zhao didn't speak for a long time, and finally sighed slightly, "I'm sorry, but Jiangdong has suffered repeated setbacks these years, morale is low, people's resentment is boiling, and financial resources are gradually struggling. Please understand our difficulties."

Of course Sima Yi understood them, and tried his best to use this opportunity to extract the maximum benefits for Jiangdong. He restrained his dissatisfaction and said to Zhang Zhao: "It is the greatest sincerity to assign Changsha County and Hengyang County to Jiangdong. If Jiangdong is not satisfied, Then we can only say sorry, as for other conditions, it is impossible for Jingzhou to agree. ""

Full site, fast update, no wrong chapters "" ""

Sima Yi's attitude was clear, and there was no room for compromise. This negotiation took a full hour, but in the end it ended in vain, and the two sides could not reach a compromise. ----,remember----

After finishing the negotiation, Zhang Zhao hurried back to Jianye Palace. He bowed to Sun Quan and said, "Report to Marquis Wu, just as we expected, the other party refused to accept our terms, and still insisted on the original terms, with a very firm attitude. .”

Sun Quan smiled and asked: "Then did they mention that there is no need for Jiangdong to send troops?"

"That's not mentioned, they still want us to send troops."

"now it's right!"

Sun Quan sneered and said: "They still want us to send troops in their bones. As long as they grasp this point, they will not be afraid of Liu Jing's uncompromising. I expected that it is not bad. Sending troops to the Central Plains is related to his Guanzhong battle. It is very important to him. Since it is so important , of course he has to pay the necessary price."

Sun Quan walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said: "The negotiation is temporarily suspended. I believe that if it is delayed a little, the possibility of Liu Jing's compromise will be greater."

A carriage quickly drove to Changgan Palace. On the carriage, Liu Min said worriedly: "I don't think it is appropriate to give Hengyang County to Jiangdong. Without Hengyang County, we will not be able to support Xiangdong County and Guiyang County. Losing the two counties of Xiangdong and Guiyang is too expensive."

Sima Yi smiled slightly and said: "Although your worry is justified, you have to understand that Zhou Mu has already considered this matter carefully, and he understands it very well, including Jia Xu, who has also carefully considered it for Zhou Mu. Since such a condition is proposed , has his own reasons, so you don't have to worry too much."

Liu Min nodded silently. He was indeed a little overwhelmed. Soon, the carriage arrived at Changgan Palace. In the reception hall of Changgan Palace, Liu Jing met Sima Yi and listened to his report on the negotiation. After Sima Yi finished speaking, Liu Jing shook his head, and made it clear: "I made it very clear on the way to Jiangdong that I can't agree to any material conditions. As for them, they still want Qichun County."

Liu Jing looked back at Sima Yi and said, "My principle is to go south from Jiangdong, does the military master understand?"

Sima Yi nodded silently, "I understand."

"Since the military adviser understands, then I don't need to say more, but one thing must be clear, they must send troops to Hefei and Xuzhou before they can get the benefits I gave up. It can't be like last time, just send troops in name, this is absolutely Can't be vague."

"The ministers will clarify this with you, and the time for dispatching troops needs to be clarified again."

Liu Jing pondered for a moment and said: "We also need time to deploy, in the first ten days of November! After the north starts to freeze, the two sides will send troops together." <The request of the county, as compensation for interests, Liu Jing agreed to send Changsha, Hengyang, Xiangdong and The four prefectures of Guiyang were assigned to Jiangdong. The two sides reached an agreement that Jiangdong would send [-] troops to attack the Central Plains, while Jingzhou would send [-] troops to attack the Central Plains from Nanyang and Runan.

Ten days later, Liu Jing finished his visit to Jiangdong and prepared to return to Jingzhou.

On the Yangtze River Wharf outside Jianye City, Sun Quan led all the officials to bid farewell to Liu Jing again, while Sun Quan’s Mrs. Xie and a group of female relatives also bid farewell to Sun Shangxiang. Outside the wharf, tens of thousands of people from Jiangdong came spontaneously to send Liu Jing and Shang Xiang The princess returns to the west.

"Brother, you don't have to send him away!"

Liu Jing clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I hope our cooperation in winter will be a complete success, and I also wish Jiangdong can successfully capture Xuzhou and Hefei. I hope this is a win-win cooperation."

Sun Quan smiled reluctantly. How could Cao Cao give up the Central Plains to them? His heart was like a mirror. Said, Sun Quan chuckled, "This is the common hope of both of us, and I also hope that my brother's trip to Jiangdong is not in vain, and take care of me all the way!"

All the officials in Jiangdong also saluted one by one, "Liu Zhoumu has a good journey!"

"Take care everyone, see you later!"

Liu Jing gave a salute to everyone, then turned and went to the big boat. At this time, Sun Shangxiang also said goodbye, and walked quickly under the guard of several female soldiers. She smiled at Liu Jing, took his arm, and turned her head to The elder brother and Baiguan waved their hands, and walked to the big boat with Liu Jing.

"Fulang, we may have guests coming to our family next year." Stepping into the boat, Sun Shangxiang said with a smile.

"who is it?"

"Xiao Qiao is coming. She said she was very depressed in Jiangdong and wanted to go out for a walk, so I invited her to Chengdu, is that okay?"

"of course can!"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "But we may move next year."

"Go back to Xiangyang?" Sun Shangxiang asked in surprise.

Liu Jing waved to the people who saw them off on the shore, and smiled at Sun Shangxiang: "It's just a possibility, it's not confirmed yet, let's talk about it next year!"

Sun Shangxiang also cast her eyes on the tens of thousands of people who sent them off. She sighed slightly: "It was the same last time, but this time they are still so enthusiastic. How can I bear their great expectations?"

"You are too self-deprecating, do you know what will happen to Jiangdong if you marry me?" Liu Jing asked with a smile, putting his arms around her shoulders.

Sun Shangxiang blinked and asked: "Oh! Could it be that Fulang is playing Jiangdong's idea?"

"Sooner or later, the world will be unified. I hope to preserve the Sun's lineage to the greatest extent. I have to give my wife some face." "

Sun Shangxiang leaned her head on his shoulder and said in a low voice: "To be honest, I have a very strong feeling that maybe next year, I will teach my precious daughter how to practice martial arts."

"You have it?" Liu Jing looked at her in surprise.

"I don't know, I just feel something is wrong."

Sun Shangxiang hugged his arm and said with a mischievous smile: "I'm afraid the cultivation is not enough. Fulang needs to work harder to get a better harvest."

Liu Jing pinched her nose, "There's nothing I can do about you, let's go! Let's go back to the cabin and discuss the true meaning of life."

Although Sun Shangxiang felt that it was not right during the day, she finally followed Liu Jing into the cabin with half push and half push.

The fleet left Jianye City and headed for Jingzhou mightily.
