    "promise!"

    ¡­¡­

    Guan Yu and Zhang Fei left the Chinese army's camp. Without their horses, they could only walk on their own feet. They walked through the thick snow. They walked along the north bank of the Han River for an unknown amount of time.  , I just feel tired and hungry.  ¡·

    Along the way, neither of them said a word. What Liu Bei did today made them both feel chilled.

    At dusk, two people climbed over an earth mountain and saw a dilapidated earth temple in front of them. They looked at each other and headed towards the earth temple tacitly.

    Half of the Earth Temple has collapsed. Two people sat on the other half, lit a fire, and then sat there cross-legged.

    "I'm going to get some food. I'm almost unbearable with hunger. Second brother, let's rest here for a while. I'll come back when I go." Zhang Fei sat for a while, touched his dry belly, and said.

    "Hmm!" Guan Yu nodded and made a feeble sound.

    After Zhang Fei left, Guan Yu sat alone by the bonfire, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, gently stroking the sword, and said calmly: "Taoyuan has been sworn for twelve years. Yun Chang has supported each other with his body and is willing to follow."  My brother is around me, just to save the people of the world. I have been wandering all my life. Since I can't go back and I can't do anything to betray my brother, who can tell me where to go? "

    When Zhang Fei came back from outside carrying a wild boar, he was surprised to find that Guan Yu had disappeared. In the dilapidated earth temple, the bonfire was still burning vigorously. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword stood upright on the ground, with the handle at the end.  Deep into the soil, the cold sword light reflected the faint firelight, and a hovering dragon looked vivid.

    "Second brotherSecond brother" Zhang Fei put down the wild boar, threw the Zhangba snake spear on the ground, and hurriedly ran around the earth temple.  But Guan Yu was not seen. Even the footprints in the snow were covered by the new snow, leaving no trace.

    After searching for a long time, Zhang Fei couldn't find Guan Yu, but when he saw that the Qinglong Yanyue Sword was still there, he muttered to himself: "I don't know where the second brother went. The Qinglong Yanyue Sword is still here, and he has always been inseparable from the second brother"

    After thinking for a long time, Zhang Fei couldn't figure out the reason. He thought it might be because he had been hunting for too long, and Guan Yu was so hungry that he couldn't bear it, so he went out hunting.

    "Anyway, the second brother's Qinglong Yanyue Sword is here, and he will definitely come back. I will roast the meat first, and when the second brother comes back, I can eat the roasted meat."

    As soon as he said it, Zhang Fei pulled out the Qinglong Yanyue knife stuck in the ground and used this extremely sharp knife to slaughter the wild boar.

    But when Zhang Fei swung the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, he slashed at the wild boar quickly. Wherever the blade passed, there was only a little bit of blood. The skill of killing pigs with this hand was revealed, if Guan Yu was present.  I'm sure I'll be shocked by this sword technique.  It's simply amazing.

    In his early years, Zhang Fei was a butcher, and his profession was to kill pigs. He held a butcher's knife in his hand and killed pigs very quickly. With such a swing of the butcher's knife, it could definitely dazzle people.

    Put down the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.  Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that my second brother's murder weapon is more comfortable to use than a pig-killing knife. What I didn't expect is that the best knife in the world can only be used to kill pigs. I don't know if it's God's will."  Man. Or a kind of irony?"

    Throwing down the Qinglong Yanyue knife, he hung the wild boar with its belly open on the Qinglong Yanyue knife. Zhang Fei held the Zhangba snake spear and stabbed open all the wild boar's internal organs. Then he went outside to get some snow and found a  Put the snow in an old thing that can hold water, bake it on the fire, and it will soon turn into water. Use the snow water to clean the wild boar, and use the Qinglong knife to cut off the wild boar's fur, and use the Zhangba snake spear to escape.  Pick up the wild boar and roast it on the bonfire, and that's it.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took. The wild boar meat was all cooked and exuded a fragrant meat aroma, but Guan Yu hadn¡¯t come back yet.

    Zhang Fei was so hungry that he ate half of the pig and left the other half for Guan Yu.  After eating, I gradually felt a little sleepy, so I wrapped myself up and fell asleep by the campfire.

    The next morning, when Zhang Fei woke up, he saw that the bonfire had been extinguished and the half pig was left on the shelf of the bonfire. However, Guan Yu still did not come back, which made him feel a little worried.

    "Where has the second brother gone? Why haven't you come back after being gone for so long"

    While Zhang Fei was talking, he accidentally saw a line of writing on the broken wall, which seemed to be carved with a knife. He recognized the handwriting as Guan Yu's.

    He hurriedly looked over and saw what was written on the wall: "Third brother, I have been wandering all my life and have been home all over the world. In the past, we were sworn brothers in Taoyuan. We swore an oath to support our brothers together, hoping to build a great cause But in the end, in the end,  But it's all in vain Third brother, I know that your sword skills are not weak, but it's a pity that you can't reach the hall of elegance.?This Qinglong Yanyue Sword contains the most powerful sword skills for my brother. I can't give you anything as a gift when I say goodbye today, so I can only give this set of sword skills to you. I hope you will study hard and don't let your brother down.  My brother is gone, so take care of yourself. If we are destined to meet you, we will meet one day.  The word Guan Yu.  "

    After seeing Guan Yu using the wall as a book and writing this paragraph, Zhang Fei could no longer calm down. With tears in his eyes, he suddenly looked up to the sky and roared loudly: "The eldest brother wants to kill me, and the second brother has left me again."  , where should I go?¡±

    ¡°I¡¯ve cried enough and howled enough, and I¡¯m tired.

    Zhang Fei wiped away his tears and picked up the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. After manipulating it for a long time, he finally found a hidden compartment on the handle of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword. From the hidden compartment, he took out a set of "Flying Rainbow Six Styles"  "After a quick look at the sword skills, I realized that all the advanced sword skills used by Guan Yu came from this, and Guan Yu had only practiced the fifth form "Ten Thousand Army Sha".

    After reading it, Zhang Fei didn¡¯t know where to go. He definitely couldn¡¯t go back to Liu Bei¡¯s side, but he didn¡¯t want to go to Lin Nan¡¯s side either, at least he couldn¡¯t go now and he couldn¡¯t be an enemy of his elder brother.  After much thought, he decided to take the Qinglong Yanyue Sword to find Guan Yu. No matter where Guan Yu was, he would find him, and he would also return the best sword in the world to him. On the way, he could also slowly  Understand Guan Yu's sword skills.

    Carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Sword on his left shoulder, the Zhangba Snake Spear in his right hand, and half a roasted wild boar hanging on his back, Zhang Fei walked out of the dilapidated Earth Temple in a swagger.

    After leaving the Earth Temple, Zhang Fei looked towards Jiangling, thinking of his wife and children.  He was cruel and said calmly: "Lin Nanyi and Bo Yuntian will definitely rescue you. If I go, it will easily cause trouble, mother-in-law. Son, when I find Brother Guan, I will come back to see you!"

    After saying this, Zhang Fei turned around and left. However, he was surrounded by chaos and didn't know where to look for Guan Yu. He decided to take it one step at a time and find a place with people to ask questions.

    ¡­¡­

    After Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang returned to Xiangyang.  In order to stabilize the country, they threatened that both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had been massacred by Lin Nan, saying that Lin Nan was a fake Guan Yu and a fake Zhang Fei, and announced a national mourning. For a time, the sky over Xiangyang was covered with dark clouds, and the countrymen and soldiers were all extremely sad and angry.

    Xu Shao died of illness last time, and this time both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei died, which made those surrendering factions even more shaken.

    but.  Liu Bei adopted a high-pressure policy and sent people to secretly monitor those who advocated surrender in the court.  Some petty officials were also arrested and tortured, which caused uproar in the city.

    Although Zhuge Liang was by Liu Bei's side, he couldn't help but couldn't help it. In addition, he didn't have much friendship with Liu Bei, so he could only stare.  However, Liu Bei is more like this.  In his heart, he seemed to be happier, because everything he planned was about to come, half a month later.  Liu Bei will leave this world forever, and Jingzhou will also change hands again.

    In Xiangyang City, Han Song, He Xia, Liu Xian, Fu Xun and others were all in danger. He Xia was quite peaceful with a hundred thousand sailors outside. At least Liu Bei did not dare to touch him for a while, and every time  He was not present at the next court meeting, so he was naturally exempt from suspicion.  However, Han Song, Liu Xian, and Fu Xun were different. They were the ones who surrendered voluntarily. Now the subordinate officials below were being tortured, fearing that they would be implicated, and they were on pins and needles at home.

    Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, and Mi Fang were all Liu Bei's old ministers. They also tried to comfort Liu Bei, but Liu Bei seemed to have become a different person because of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's affairs. However, no matter how they tried to persuade Liu Bei, Liu Bei would not listen.

    Yi Ji, Jiang Wan, Tian Yu, and Yan Yan also felt sad after seeing this. Adopting a high-pressure policy at this time will undoubtedly make people feel distracted.

    Within half a day, a list of traitors and collaborators was published in Xiangyang City. This list included many minor officials below the rank of captain, a total of 117 people, all of whom were Liu Biao's former ministers. Within a day, they were all executed and executed.  There were more than 700 people there, and everyone in Xiangyang City was frightened for a while.

    When the news was reported to Liu Bei, Liu Bei burst out laughing, with a ferocious look on his face, and said: "It's better to die. After you die, you won't have so many worries. Anyone who opposes me will die!"

    After Zhuge Liang heard this, he shook his head helplessly, but mentally he was extremely happy and thought secretly: "The time is about to come"

    ¡­¡­

    Jiangling.

    It was snowing outside the city, and flags were fluttering in the Wu army camp. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were planning their next move when they suddenly heard someone coming in. When he saw it was Zhou Tai, Sun Ce asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?  "

    "The envoy from China has arrived. He is outside the camp gate and has come to report."

    "Well, please invite him in."Sun Ce said.

    "Follow the order!"

    Seeing that Zhou Tai had gone out, Sun Ce turned to look at Zhou Yu and asked, "What is the purpose of sending an envoy here at this time?"

    Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Probably to urge us to attack. We have been stationed here for almost five or six days and have not taken any offensive. It is estimated that the Huaxia Kingdom will not be able to sit still. The envoy will come soon, and your Majesty still needs to act according to the situation."

    "I understand, haha"

    Not long after, Zhou Tai came in with an envoy from the Huaxia Kingdom. This man was familiar to both Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, because Wu and the Huaxia Kingdom had always been on good terms, and he had always been the envoy.

    When Sun Ce saw Sima Lang coming again, he smiled and said, "It turns out to be Master Sima. It's really hard for you to have you running around in this cold weather."

    "For the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries and the friendship between the two countries, it won't cost much for a foreign minister to go there."

    "Master Sima, I don't know why you came here this time?" Sun Ce asked someone to serve tea. He sat there and asked.

    "Oh, actually nothing happened. I just came here to see how your army is progressing?"

    "It's freezing cold and the soldiers are hiding in tents. I can't do anything about it. Sir Sima, when you go back, tell His Majesty the Emperor that our army will definitely launch an attack on Jiangling after the spring begins."

    "Oh. That's for sure. However, I have another thing to do when I come here this time. I hope His Majesty the Emperor can grant accommodation."

    "whats the matter?"

    "A friend of our emperor's family has been trapped in Jiangling City, but Xiangyang has promised to surrender to our army. He is just worried about his family, so he asked me to negotiate. If His Majesty the Emperor can retreat ten miles, Jiangling will be temporarily relieved.  The city is under siege. I wonder if your majesty can be accommodating after I rescue the family members of the surrendered general over there.

    Sun Ce glanced sideways at Zhou Yu, and when Zhou Yu nodded, he said, "Of course you can. But how do you get into the city, sir?"

    Sima Lang smiled and replied: "When the two countries are at war, if they don't kill the envoys, I don't think they will deal with an unarmed person. Your Majesty, the foreign minister has important matters to attend to. Please give the order, and the foreign minister will  We have leverage to enter the city and negotiate with the enemy.¡±

    Sun Ce said to Zhou Tai: "Youping, did you hear it? Why don't you go and convey the order quickly?"

    Zhou Tai said "No".  Then he left the big tent, and Sima Lang also left.

    After Sun Ce saw Sima Lang leaving.  He asked in confusion: "Gong Jin, it seems that Sima Lang's purpose here is not to urge us to send troops. It seems that he wants to pick up someone from Jiangling City."

    "Just wait and see what happens and wait for the opportunity. Now that the four counties in Jingnan are all in our hands, Jiangling is already an isolated city. As long as it is tightly surrounded, Jiangling will be captured by our army sooner or later. There are now 100,000 people in Jiangling City.  Our army only has 150,000 troops. Forcibly attacking the city will inevitably cause damage and may cause many casualties. It is better to let the Chinese army start the war and wait and see what happens. It is best for them to lose, and then we send troops to occupy Jiangling, Xiangyang, etc.  Land." Zhou Yu said.

    "Gongjin, I really admire you more and more."

    Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at each other and smiled. For Zhou Yu, he had always been wary of China, including Sun Ce.  In these years, Wu State followed the example of Huaxia State and launched the steelmaking industry, mining, mining, etc. at the same time. It has greatly improved its weapons and equipment. It has temporarily bid farewell to the Iron Age and entered the Steel Age.

    However, the smelting technology of the Wu people is always not as good as that of the Huaxia Kingdom, the steel equipment they make is not as hard as the Huaxia Kingdom, and the weapons are not sharp enough. However, they are still very effective against relatively backward countries such as Shanyue, Yue, and Jinghan.  .

    However, Wu State has ignored an essential issue, that is, if it wants to develop industry, it must be supported by strong agriculture. In the first few years, Wu State's industry developed by leaps and bounds, but in the last one or two years, many industries have appeared in Wu State.  Famine, floods, mudslides, and tsunamis all accompanied the Wu State, forcing Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to temporarily give up industrial development and spend all their funds on building water conservancy projects and reclaiming farmland, gradually stabilizing the domestic situation.

    It was not until later that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu figured out why Lin Nan helped them like this, giving them new weapons like crossbows, weapons and armor made of fine steel, and even using pigeons to convey messages.  The technology was also sent over.  On the surface, Lin Nan seemed to be helping them, but in fact, he was harming them.  Because in recent years, Wu State has spent so much on mining minerals and smelting steel that it has been unable to spend money on other things. Although the soldiers are powerful, they have also caused famine for the people, and natural disasters have also followed.  The people's sentiment in the newly pacified Shanyue and other places was not stable enough, and they oftenRiots occurred.

    This is a subtle process of evolution for Wu to strengthen the foreign country and strengthen the middle, and it is also the ultimate goal of Lin Nan's support for the Wu country.  In addition to these aspects, Lin Nan also plundered Wu State economically. In every trade, he would add some common but worthless things in Wu State, as well as some useless things in Wu State.  For example, Lin Nan exchanged fruits, vegetables, plants, rubber, etc. from the territory of Wu State for grain produced in the north. On the one hand, he was supporting the State of Wu, but in fact, it was a disguised form of economic plunder.

    Especially the need for some plants led to the excavation of mountains in Wu State. Pieces of forests were cut down and vegetation was destroyed. Therefore, a heavy rain will cause floods.

    Although Zhou Yu and Sun Ce did not see these problems until five years later, it was already too late. There was never much increase in national strength. On the contrary, some places even regressed.  In the past five years, all that was gained was a pile of weapons and armor, but many beautiful things were lost.

    When sending troops this time, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu also agreed that they should seize the fertile Jingzhou and use Jingzhou, a place rich in food, to make up for the serious shortage of food in Wu State.

    On that day, the Wu army retreated ten miles.  Sima Lang then had the leverage to enter Jiangling City for negotiations.

    Sima Lang rode alone to the foot of Jiangling City. The snow had stopped by this time, but the thick snow was still there. The Han soldiers on top of the city were also in full battle formation. When they saw a knight coming from outside the city, they couldn't help but think  A moment of confusion.

    "China. The Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sima Lang, has come to Jiangling to see Mr. Zhuge, the Governor of Han and Jingnan. Please inform me." Sima Lang, the Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  He is also like a fish in water. He has traveled to many places in the past few years, running around here and there, relying on his sharp tongue.  He also made a lot of contributions to the country of China.

    After hearing this, the people in Jiangling City were all surprised, because they were surrounded by Wu's army, but the envoys who came were from Huaxia, and they were riding alone.

    However, the captain who guarded the city did not neglect it and hurriedly sent people to the prefect's mansion to inform Zhuge Jin, the governor of Jingnan.

    Zhuge Jin has been staying in the four counties of Jingnan for the past five years.  Assisted Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, after Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were transferred.  He was named the Grand Governor of Jingnan, commanding half of the Han army.  In fact, the Han Dynasty had 300,000 troops. The moment Zhuge Liang came to power, the Han Dynasty's troops and horses were ostensibly under Zhuge's control.  Zhuge Liang was in Xiangyang and Zhuge Jin was in Jiangling. The two brothers actually shouldered the lifeblood of the Han Dynasty. It was a very dramatic scene.

    In the prefect¡¯s mansion, Zhuge Jin heard that Sima Lang was coming.  Then he smiled and said, "After waiting for so long, he finally arrived."

    Immediately, Zhuge Jin went to the city gate in person, ordered people to open the city gate, and went out to greet him personally. The honor guard was lined up in a line, and he seemed to attach great importance to Sima Lang.

    Sima Lang did not expect such a result, and was a little confused when he saw Zhuge Jin personally leading the honor guard.

    After meeting each other twice, Sima Lang turned over and dismounted. Dressed in a broad robe, he cupped his hands towards Zhuge Jin and said, "Sima Lang, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of China, has met Mr. Zhuge, the Governor of Jingnan."

    Zhuge Jin has a slender body, a white face and a green beard. He looks extremely elegant in a dark robe, and he also has the air of an elder, so he always appears to be extremely friendly when dealing with others.  Zhuge Jin was no stranger to Sima Lang. He had met several times before in Chengdu, the capital of the Shu Han Kingdom, so the two hit it off immediately.

    Zhuge Jin took Sima Lang's hand cordially and said with a chuckle: "Brother Boda, I've been waiting for you for a long time. It's cold here. Come into the city quickly."

    Sima Lang is slightly older than Zhuge Jin by two or three years, so Zhuge Jin calls Sima Lang brother Boda. Boda is the name of Sima Lang.

    After hearing this, Sima Lang pondered in his heart and thought to himself: "Why is Zhuge Ziyu so enthusiastic?"

    Without thinking too much, he followed Zhuge Jin into Jiangling City for the time being. The two of them sat down in the prefect's mansion. Zhuge Jin ordered people to raise the stove, serve wine and food, and then retreated.

    "Brother Boda, please!" Zhuge Jin picked up a pot of warm wine and poured a glass for Sima Lang himself.

    Sima Lang drank it all in one gulp and never worried.  However, he still had doubts and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Ziyu, you seem to know that I am coming"

    Zhuge Jin did not hide anything, nodded and said: "Not only do I know, but I also know the purpose of your coming here."

    "You know?" Sima Lang was surprised.

    "I know. Are you here for the families of Guan and Zhang?" Zhuge Jin never drank, so he drank tea instead of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

      "Do you really knowhow do you know?" In Sima Lang's impression, although Zhuge Jin was smart, he could never predict the future, so he asked this question.

    "To be honest, my younger brother told me."

    "Your brother?" Sima Lang didn't react for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he called out: "Zhuge Kongming?"

    Zhuge Jin nodded and said, "It's Kong Ming."

    Sima Lang said: "If it is Kong Ming, then there is no doubt. He must know before you that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei surrendered to our army"

    "Brother Boda, why do you have to deceive yourself? Generals Guan and Zhang don't seem to surrender to your army so easily, right? If it weren't for my younger brother who got in the way, I'm afraid that generals Guan and Zhang wouldn't give up on our lord."

    Sima Lang frowned and thought to himself: "Conspiracy! Sure enough, there is a conspiracy! It is absolutely impossible for Liu Bei not to know Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that day. It turns out that Zhuge Liang was the one who hindered everything, but what was his purpose in doing this?  Woolen cloth?"

    "You and I have known each other for many years, and I won't hide it from you. Now the army of the Western Wei Dynasty is attacking Western Shu. Liu Zhang is weak, and it is inevitable that he will be captured by Cao Cao. It is worth mentioning that the people Cao Cao used to conquer Liu Zhang this time  Nai Fengchu, this man has vast experience and is good at military affairs. He overcame thorns and defeated generals along the way. With only a thousand elite soldiers as the vanguard, he captured and surrendered the generals in Shu. He won consecutive battles and conquered more than 20 cities in Shu.  None of the lieutenants and soldiers can stop it. According to reliable information, Fengchu's army has arrived at Zitong and will capture Chengdu, the capital of the Shu Han Kingdom, in less than half a month."

    After hearing this, Sima Lang also felt frightened. With only a thousand elite soldiers, he could conquer half of the Shu Han Dynasty. This man is indeed amazing and dangerous.  He glanced at Zhuge Jin.  Pretending to be calm, he asked: "What does that have to do with our country, China?"

    "Of course. If he helps Cao Cao, then Cao Cao will become China's number one enemy. For this reason, Brother She has already made a plan. As long as the emperor of your country agrees to Brother Brother's three conditions, Brother Brother Brother will give away the entire Jingzhou.  Huaxia Kingdom." Zhuge Jin said.

    "What three conditions?" Sima Lang asked hurriedly.

    Zhuge Jin smiled and poured a glass of wine for Sima Lang and a cup of tea for himself.  He raised his tea cup and said to Sima Lang: "Brother Boda has worked hard all the way. You should eat and drink well first, and then we can negotiate the terms!"

    Sima Lang was aroused by Zhuge Jin, if it was as Zhuge Jin said.  Then this southern expedition will definitely save a lot of things. He has also heard of Feng Chu's name.  He once heard Lin Nan tell the story of Wolong and Fengchu, and he also knew that these two people were extraordinary talents. Now that Wolong and Zhuge Liang are determined to join the Huaxia Kingdom, what a wonderful thing it is.

    He was restless, hurriedly drank a glass of wine, and asked: "What are the three conditions? If you tell me now, I can eat and drink with peace of mind."

    "Brother Boda is so impatient. Okay, then I won't hold back. Brother She put forward three conditions. The first one is that once Brother She surrenders Jingzhou to your army, Brother She must join the Senate of your country and serve as the prime minister.  position." Zhuge Jin said.

    "Where's the second one?" Sima Lang asked.

    "The second is that the younger brother must be allowed to stay in Jingzhou and take charge of all the soldiers and horses of the original Han army."

    Sima Lang frowned and asked again: "Where is the last one?"

    "You must make your younger brother the king, rule Jingzhou forever, and be hereditary."

    Sima Lang smiled and said: "There may be room for negotiation on the first and second, but it is absolutely impossible to agree to the third. China prohibits people with different surnames from being crowned kings. Even if they are princes, they have not been crowned kings yet.  Why does Zhuge Liang want to be crowned king?"

    Zhuge Jin said: "These are just the three preliminary conditions of my brother, and I am just passing them on. As for how to negotiate in practice, we still need to discuss with your majesty the emperor. In order to show my sincerity, I will send troops to escort Guan,  When the families of General Zhang and General Zhang cross the Han River, you only need to support them on the other side. In addition, Jiangling is located at a strategic location, which the State of Wu has long coveted. If your army and your brother cannot come to an agreement, then the entire Jingzhou will be surrendered.  To Wu. I think Sun Ce, the emperor of Wu, should be more generous than Huaxia."

    "There is a feud between Wu and Han. The Han army killed the father of Wu Sun Ce. This hatred is irreconcilable. How could he negotiate terms with you?"

    "There is an injustice and a debtor. Sun Ce will only go to Liu Bei and it has nothing to do with our brothers."

    Sima Lang hurriedly said: "After I go back, I will report the truth to the emperor. If we don't get any reply, please do not negotiate with Wu. I will work hard to achieve these three conditions. But these three conditions  What we want to do still needs to be discussed personally by Zhuge Kongming and my emperor.¡±

    Zhuge Jin said: "This is the best. Come, come, let'sAfter the business talk is over, it¡¯s time to talk about personal matters.  Zhuge Jin smiled and raised his glass to Sima Lang.

    Sima Lang's heart was already turbulent at this time, and he couldn't think of drinking and eating.  After having a hasty meal, he made an appointment with Zhuge Jin and prepared to pick up people in Jiangbei.  Zhuge Jin was also very happy and agreed immediately, and sent troops and horses to escort Sima Lang away. Then he sent troops and horses to let Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's family members leave Jiangling City, lying that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei won the battle on the front line.  , has turned defeat into victory, captured Wancheng, and is preparing to march to Luoyang to take the whole family to Wancheng.

    The family members of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei all believed it and were sent away in great numbers, protected by a thousand cavalry.  At the same time, in order to prevent the Wu army from being harassed, Zhuge Jin took the initiative to send troops and horses to pretend to attack the Wu army camp.  This made Wu Jun unable to do anything and had no way of knowing that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's family members had been sent away.

    Sima Lang left Jiangling and happened to meet the elite scouts under Bian Xi on the way.  So he asked the scouts to pass all the news to Lin Nan, and then turned back and returned to Jiangling. He was afraid that Zhuge Jin was cheating and Wu Jun was worried about attacking the city, so he wanted to be in the middle.

    Zhuge Jin saw Sima Lang leaving and returning.  He didn¡¯t say anything, and he was treated warmly as usual.  Wu Jun did not want to attack Jiangling at first, and thought that Sima Lang was gone, so he simply continued to stand by and put the Jiangling incident on hold for the time being.

    ¡­¡­

    Along the Han River in Deng County, all the Huaxia Kingdom's camps have been set up, including the water army barracks. There are twenty-four water gates along the river.  A large boat is placed outside as a city wall, and a small boat is placed inside to allow access. In the evening, lights are lit, making the water in the center of the sky turn red.  The camps on the shore stretch for more than a hundred miles, and the 300,000-strong army has been assembled.

    The winter is cold, but the soldiers are still in full swing, after two months of deploying troops and generals.  All 300,000 people have been assembled today, and the Chinese flag with gold characters on a black background is fluttering in the wind along the Han River.

    This day.  Lin Nan was riding a Hualiu to inspect the military camp. Suddenly a scout came and reported everything about Sima Lang. He immediately felt elated. If it was true as Sima Lang said, then this southern expedition could be successful.  He captured the entire Jingzhou without a single blow.

    After returning to the camp.  According to the contact information given by Sima Lang, Lin Nan wrote a letter in his own hand, and then asked the scout to deliver it to Bian Xi, who was lurking in Jingzhou, and asked Bian Xi to contact Zhuge Liang and make an appointment in five days.  We met on the Han River.

    After the scout left, Lin Nan finally got the answer to why Liu Bei shot Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with bows and arrows that day.

    Not long after, Zhao Yun walked in, clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what the summons is about."

    "Zilong, it seems that you didn't try your best when you faced Guan Yu and Zhang Fei last time. I want to know what's going on?" Lin Nan asked with a smile on his face.

    Zhao Yun knew in his heart that sooner or later Lin Nan would come and ask him.  He didn't hide anything and answered truthfully: "I have some concerns, so"

    "Is it because your wife is pregnant?" Lin Nan asked.

    Zhao Yun nodded and said: "I am guilty, please punish me!"

    Lin Nan said: "What's your crime? I can understand your feelings. Now that you are a father, you are worried that you are working too hard. If something goes wrong, your unborn child will be without a father. Right  Bar?"

    "I know the crime!"

    "Okay, okay, everything is over, it's human nature. Fortunately, we caught Guan Yu and Zhang Fei last time, and this matter is over like this. This time, I called you here because I want you to do something.  thing."

    "Please give me your Majesty's orders, I will not give up even if I die!"

    "According to reliable information, Cao Wei is attacking Shu Han, and half of Shu has been captured. Our army can't sit in a well and watch the sky. An army of 300,000 people is more than enough to deal with the Han army. I want to send you to lead a partial army along the Han Dynasty.  The water moved westward, then turned to Mianshui, and went all the way to attack Fangling, Shangyong, Xicheng, and Xi County. The geographical location of these four counties is very important. We must not miss it. While Cao Wei's army is still attacking Shu County,  If you go to conquer at this time, the four counties will definitely surrender after hearing the news. Later, you can garrison Xicheng to prevent Cao Wei's troops from Hanzhong and Chang'an from cutting off the Ziwu Road, and to capture the scattered Shu Han army."  Nan expressed his strategic intentions.

    After hearing this, Zhao Yun happily accepted the order without any hesitation.

    "Very good, I will allocate you 30,000 troops and horses. You bring enough food and grass and set off today. The sooner the better."

    "No!"

    After Zhao Yun went out, Lin Nan called Jia Xu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and Sima Yi all in and explained Zhuge Liang's three conditions to them.

    After hearing this, everyone frowned.??Except for the first condition, the latter two conditions are all considered unacceptable.

    Lin Nan thought for a while and said: "There must be some of you who have objections, so you might as well come and listen. Although I love talents, I can never follow in the footsteps of Jushu. Now that Zhuge Liang is starting to attract others, he must have a plan.  I have sent someone to tentatively agree to his three conditions and arrange a meeting with him to find out what his plans are. If you have anything good to say, feel free to tell me. Even if you are wrong, I will not blame you!"

    Jia Xu was the first to speak, saying: "Your Majesty, I think that Zhuge Liang's move must be a fraud. Why would he show such courtesy for no reason? Besides, Liu Bei is still here, how can he have such power? Perhaps Jiangling  Yes, but Xiangyang is determined not to, and the Wu army has occupied half of Jingzhou. Two hundred thousand soldiers and horses are waiting in Jingzhou, saying that they will sacrifice the entire Jingzhou, I think it is unrealistic, and I think it may be Zhuge Liang's excuse.  Ci, take this opportunity to let our army miss the opportunity."

    Xun You said: "I feel the same way."

    Tian Feng and Xun Chen also said together: "I second my opinion."

    Only Guo Jia and Sima Yi did not speak. They just sat there without saying a word.

    Lin Nan glanced at the two of them and asked, "What do you two dear ladies think?"

    Guo Jiadao: "I think that Zhuge Liang's move may not be deceitful. His conditions are very clear, that is, he wants to become the lord of Jingzhou. Although the Wu army has 200,000 men waiting to be ready, due to the hasty dispatch of troops by the Wu army, it is extremely urgent to mobilize troops, and even  The troops and horses that were sent to conquer Shi Xie were also mobilized, which shows that the Wu army really wants to occupy Jingzhou. The battle has not yet begun, and they are recharging their strength and adjusting their status. If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the Wu army will be relieved.  Come on. If Zhuge Liang dares to say such a big thing, he must have some countermeasures. I think your Majesty can make plans after meeting with him again. "

    After hearing this, Lin Nan felt that what Guo Jia said was reasonable, so he asked Sima Yi: "Zhongda, what do you think?"

    "I have no objection." Sima Yi replied.

    "No objection?" Lin Nan asked in surprise.

    "Because I haven't seen what Zhuge Liang wants to do yet, I have no objection." Sima Yi said.

    After listening to this, Lin Nan said: "Okay, I already understand your opinions. I think we can make plans after meeting with Zhuge Liang."

    After the meeting, Lin Nan left Sima Yi alone and asked: "Zhongda, have you really not seen through what Zhuge Liang is thinking?"

    Sima Yi nodded and said: "I don't dare to lie in the slightest. Zhuge Liang is now inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. According to my brother's information, Zhuge Jin seems to have controlled the 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jiangling City."  , Xiangyang City has 200,000 soldiers. Last time our army defeated nearly 40,000 people, leaving more than 160,000 people. If all these soldiers and horses are in Zhuge Liang's hands, then he will have enough bargaining chips to negotiate with His Majesty.  ¡±

    Lin Nandao: "With Zhuge Liang's talent, it is a bit far-fetched to control more than 160,000 troops under Liu Bei's nose. Liu Bei is also the overlord of a party. Although his talent is not outstanding, he is quite capable of controlling people.  Why are so many people willing to follow him? He must have a personal charm. I always feel that there is something fishy about this matter. Zhuge Liang will not surrender sooner or later, but it is difficult for people not to suspect him if he surrenders at this time.  Why did you openly declare war on me and defeat our army in Wancheng, causing heavy casualties to our army? "

    Sima Yi said: "Your Majesty, there may be another possibility"

    "What's possible?" Lin Nan asked hurriedly.

    "That's what Zhuge Liang is showing you what he is showing to China The emperor's ministers are looking for Zhuge Liang in Langya, isn't it because they fancy his talent? Although Zhuge Liang's family has moved away from Langya, their clan members are still there. Knowing that the emperor  How could he not convey Zhuge Liang in a letter if he was deliberately looking for him? If Zhuge Liang only regarded Liu Bei as a springboard for him to become famous, then his name would have been known to the world during the battle at Wancheng. The purpose of becoming famous.  It has already been achieved." Sima Yi stopped talking mid-sentence, glanced sideways at Lin Nan, and stopped talking.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
