Soldiers come to the world

Although Chaisang officials kept a low profile about Liu Jing's meeting with Lu Su and did not publicize it to the outside world, Yang Yi still learned about the situation from a yamen servant, which made him very depressed. Liu Jing was in the city at all, but he just didn't want to see him. I met the Jiangdong envoy first.

Yang Yi didn't want to compare with Lu Su, but was worried that Liu Jing's final decision would be unfavorable to Jiaozhou. This time, he also came with a heavy responsibility. The military adviser made it clear that they could give up the four counties in Jingnan, but Jiaozhou wanted Yuzhang County. And Poyang County, this will not infringe on the interests of Jingzhou, but will Liu Jing agree?

After lunch, Yang Yi took a walk on the street bored. This is his habit. When he first arrives in a place, he always wants to understand the local customs. This is his first visit to Chaisang, and he has heard for a long time that this is Liu Jing’s. The place where I started, my heart is also full of curiosity.

It's just that he was in a bad mood at the moment, and he didn't have the intention to look carefully. He just walked around the post in a random circle. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling him anxiously: "Master Yang!"

When Yang Yi turned her head, she saw Yi Cheng running towards him in a panic, "Ma Yi Cheng, what happened?" Yang Yi went up to him and asked.

"Master Yang, come back with me quickly, His Highness the King of Han is here, and he is at the posthouse."

There was a buzzing sound in Yang Yi's head, and his mind was in a mess. The king of Han came, and he also panicked. He stopped shopping and hurriedly followed Yicheng to the posthouse.

The inside and outside of the post house have been controlled by thousands of soldiers, and the guards are very tight. Liu Jing did not enter the inner hall, but stood with his hands behind his back in front of the fish pond in the post house compound to watch the red carp. There are many carps in it that he put in back then The fish fry are now fat and big, colorful and pleasing to the eye.

At this time, Pang Tong who was next to him reminded him in a low voice: "Your Highness, they are here."

When Liu Jing turned around, he saw Yi Cheng leading Yang Yi standing behind him, very nervous, afraid of disturbing his interest in watching the fish, Liu Jing smiled apologetically, "It turned out to be already here, why didn't you tell me?"

Yang Yi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted, "Jiaozhou Army Account Master Yang Yi sees His Royal Highness the King of Han!"

"Master Yang has worked hard all the way, please come into the room and talk."

Yang Yi quickly led Liu Jing into the courtyard where he lived, and sat down in the main hall, with Pang Tong also sitting beside him. At this time, Yicheng served them tea, and Liu Jing asked Yang Yi with a smile, "I don't know where Master Yang is going?" from the line?"

"The next official is to take the North Road of Xinwu County, first go to Yangxin County, and then take the waterway to Chaisang."

Liu Jing turned around and smiled at Pang Tong, "It's the way the military division returns to the north!"

"Exactly! That road is really difficult to walk. The mountain road is steep and there are many rivers. We overcame obstacles and built many convenient bridges. It took us nearly ten days to reach Yangxin County."

Yang Yi hurriedly saluted and said, "Could it be that there are bridges along the way? It turned out that Junshi Pang built the bridge. I only walked for four days to reach Yangxin County. I really have to thank Junshi Pang."

Everyone laughed. At this time, Liu Jing turned the topic to serious matters. He took a sip of tea and asked quietly: "According to the consensus reached by Military Adviser Pang and Military Adviser Zhuge last time, the Jiaozhou Army should take the Jiangdong Army prisoners of war. Hand it over to us, I wonder how you plan to hand it over?"

Yang Yi's expression was also a little unnatural, and she said after a while: "I came here this time to discuss this matter with the King of Han under the order of the military division?"

"Negotiate?"

Liu Jing slightly raised his voice, expressing his puzzlement, and then he said lightly: "I will ask Master Pang to discuss the specific situation with Master Yang in detail. I just came to visit Master Yang today."

There was a hint of displeasure in Liu Jing's tone. Of course, this was not dissatisfaction with Yang Yi, but dissatisfaction with Zhuge Liang. Not to mention Zhuge Liang, even Liu Bei couldn't be compared with him. Negotiate among themselves, what does he think of himself as, Magistrate Chaisang?

However, when a person reaches a certain status, he has deep self-cultivation. Liu Jing was dissatisfied, but he didn't show it on his face. He stood up and smiled and said, "Master Yang is welcome to go back to Xiangyang when he has time to take a look. Xiangyang has changed a lot."

After finishing speaking, he told Pang Tong a few more words, turned around and left, Yang Yi's face was flushed, he knew what the problem was, and he was too careless when he said that he was ordered by the military division to discuss with the King of Han, which is too much. It shouldn't be.

He pursed his lips a few times, wanted to apologize but couldn't say it, so he could only watch Liu Jing go away. At this moment, Pang Tong smiled beside him, "Master Yang, let's sit down and talk!"

An hour later, Pang Tong hurried back to the county government office. He walked quickly to the inner hall. When a guard saw him coming, he smiled and said, "Mr. Pang, please! Your Highness is waiting in the hall."

Pang Tong walked up to the inner hall and saw Liu Jing standing in front of the sand table with his arms folded. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "See Your Highness!"

Liu Jing nodded and smiled, "Tell me about Jiaozhou's attitude!"

Pang Tong took out a letter and handed it to Liu Jing, "This is Zhuge Liang's personal letter from Yang Yi to His Highness. In addition, Yang Yi apologized to His Highness for saying something wrong."

Liu Jing took the letter and smiled, "I know he said something wrong, he should have said he was negotiating with you, but not with the King of Han, speaking out loud is taboo in official circles, I hope he learns a lesson! "

Liu Jing opened Zhuge Liang's letter and read it again. Zhuge Liang's writing in the letter was very vague and ambiguous. Liu Jing asked Pang Tong again, "What exactly did he tell you?"

"Yang Yi means that we hope that we can agree to let them occupy the two counties of Yuzhang and Poyang, and they have completely given up the four counties of Jingnan."

"What about the Jiangdong prisoners of war, when will they send them?" The Jiangdong prisoners of war are what Liu Jing is most concerned about. Before all negotiations, the Jiaozhou Army should send the Jiangdong prisoners of war first.

Pang Tong smiled wryly and said: "What they mean is that they want to use Jiangdong prisoners of war as a condition, and hope that His Highness will show the imperial court and make Liu Bei the prefect of Yuzhang, and then they will hand over the Jiangdong prisoners of war to us."

Liu Jing sneered repeatedly, "It seems that Zhuge Liang is still ignorant of current affairs. After defeating the Jiangdong Army, he began to get carried away. He actually wants to bargain with me. Very good. I don't care if I don't want the Jiangdong Army prisoners of war, and they don't want to go back."

Pang Tong noticed that Liu Jing was angry, and quickly persuaded him: "Your Highness, please calm down, please listen to my words."

Liu Jing restrained his anger, and said lightly, "Say it!"

"Actually, I feel that Zhuge Liang is testing us. He has already felt that we may not give them Yuzhang and Poyang counties, but he is not sure, so he used Jiangdong prisoners of war to test us. I want to use Zhuge Liang's wisdom. , he wouldn't really make such a poor mistake."

Liu Jing still shook his head, "In the final analysis, they just want to occupy Yuzhang and Poyang counties, but this is absolutely impossible!"

"But they spent their troops and rations and defeated the Jiangdong Army. His Highness made them return without success. I'm afraid they can't accept it. I listened to Yang Yi, and they wanted to find a balance."

Liu Jing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said in an uncompromising tone: "There is no balance point, I know they are not reconciled, but if they want to expand northward, they need to use their strength to speak, if they must Yuzhang And the two counties of Poyang are not impossible, as long as they can defeat the Han army, not only Yuzhang and Poyang, but also the four counties of Jingnan will belong to them."

Speaking of this, Liu Jing turned around and said to Pang Tong: "You go and tell Yang Yi that I must take Jiangdong prisoners of war. If they don't give them, the [-] Jiaozhou Army will stay and mine for me!"

As Lu Meng's [-] Jiangdong Army returned to Pengze, Sun Quan finally led the Jiangdong Army fleet to leave Pengze and return to Jianye. At this time, the Han Army also began to gather on two fronts. The army assembled in Jiangling, Huang Zhong had received Liu Jing's order, and began to lead the army to leave Jiangling and march towards Lingling County in the south of Jing.

The other army, the [-] Jingzhou navy, also began to gather in Chaisang. Eight hundred thousand-stone warships gathered in Chaisang, and the river was covered by overwhelming warships.

In mid-September, Liu Jing ordered Gan Ning to stay at Chaisang with [-] sailors. He personally led [-] sailors to leave Chaisang in [-] large ships, passed through Pengze Lake, entered the Gan River, and headed for Nanchang County in a mighty manner. The cloud of war hangs over Yuzhang County again.

Since the Jiaozhou Army defeated the Jiangdong Army, it moved its main force back to Nanchang County, while Xinwu County was used to detain more than 2 Jiangdong prisoners of war. These more than [-] prisoners of war were used by Zhuge Liang to bargain with Liu Jing. He did not Sending the prisoners of war to Jiaozhou, let alone incorporating them into the Jiaozhou army, Zhuge Liang knew very well that if these prisoners of war were not handled well, they would face a war with the Han army.

Sifang Building in Nanchang County, this is the main building of Yuzhang County School. It was built by Zhuge Liang’s uncle Zhuge Xuan when he was the prefect of Yuzhang. Zhuge Liang lived here for several years when he was young. Sifang Building is the tallest building in Nanchang County. It is located in a landscape outside the east city. A beautiful place, looking out of the window, you can clearly see the vast Ganjiang River.

At this time, Zhuge Liang was standing in front of the small window, full of thoughts in his heart. He received an express letter from his lord Liu Bei yesterday. While congratulating him on his victory over the Jiangdong Army, he also asked him to continue to go north, capture Lujiang County and Xindu County, and establish With Yuzhang County as the center, the Yangtze River area including Lujiang, Poyang, and Xindu counties, and then open up Linchuan County and Luling County in the south, so that the Yangtze River area and Jiaozhou are connected as one.

Liu Bei's ambition brought Zhuge Liang only a bitter smile and melancholy. He understood Liu Bei's eagerness to leave Jiaozhou and return to the north, but Liu Bei obviously ignored Han. If Liu Bei knew that Liu Jing was in Jiangxia from beginning to end, I am afraid he would Not so optimistic anymore, Liu Bei thought that Liu Jing had transferred the political center to Guanlong and no longer cared about the southern region.

It can only be said that Liu Bei's idea is good, but it will never be realized. Zhuge Liang knows that Liu Jing is going to do something. Since Yang Yi came back from Chaisang, it means that Liu Jing has torn off the so-called neutral disguise and started to appear on the stage.

"Military division, could it be that we refused to give the Jiangdong prisoners of war to Liu Jing, which offended him, and that's why he decided to send troops?" Yang Yi asked cautiously from the side.

Zhuge Liang shook his head, sighed and said: "Master Yang, you think him too simply. He will send troops no matter whether we give him prisoners of war or not. Why is he in Jiangxia? He is waiting for this opportunity. Jiangdong was defeated. After leaving, Yuzhang County and Poyang County no longer belong to Jiangdong, so he can justifiably take these two counties into his pocket. This is a plan he had planned in advance. Our hasty northern expedition has become his pawn in vain. "

Yang Yi felt very lost in her heart, and asked for a while, "Then what should we do now?"
