Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 534
In late July, Huainan is full of scorching sun.

According to the agreement in the letter, Jiang Ji came to wait on the flat land west of Shishui. Zhang Liao was worried that he would make a mistake, so he led three thousand troops to go with him.

In the morning at chen, Sun Quan's warship sailed out of Chaohu Lake and entered the end of Shishui. From a distance, he saw thousands of soldiers stationed in the west. Cao Jun left enough space for landing as agreed.

"My lord, that Jiang Ji is treacherous and cunning, why should we meet him?" Xu Sheng, the defender of Ruxu, asked puzzledly.

Sun Quan's face darkened instantly when he heard it. When Zhou Yu was besieging Xiangyang, Sun Quan took the remaining elite from Jiangdong and sent troops to Hefei for the first time.

At that time, Hefei was besieged to be rescued, and Cao Cao couldn't spare any extra troops, so he asked his general Zhang Xi to lead a thousand troops to rescue. At that time, Yangzhou Biejia cleverly used the trick of suspicious soldiers, and deliberately sent three envoys to Hefei to spread the news. , falsely reported that Zhang Xi led an army of [-] troops to Yulou, and Cao Cao's follow-up main force would arrive one after another, and the false letters of two envoys were intercepted by Jiangdong soldiers.

Sun Quan's first command of troops didn't know what to do, and he retreated in a hurry without distinguishing falsehoods. Zhou Yu's army on the western front went deep into Xiangyang to fight, which also made Jiangdong the least profitable after the Battle of Chibi.

"One moment, another moment. This is Jiang Ji's personal letter. What's the point of seeing it?" Sun Quan frowned.

The general Ruxu supervised Zhou Tai, seeing which pot Xu Sheng was not opening and which pot he was carrying, he quickly changed the subject and said, "My lord, although Jiang Ji left a landing position as agreed, it is hard to say that the other party will not launch a surprise attack. The last general suggests Send people to find out the truth first, and then we will make a fuss."

"You Ping is right, who wants to get off the ship to investigate?" Sun Quan looked around at the generals on the deck.

Seeing this, Zhou Tai winked at his subordinate Xu Sheng, meaning that the fire you lit is not going to be extinguished by yourself?
Xu Sheng clasped his fists knowingly to invite Ying: "My lord, the general is willing to go at the end."

"Go." Sun Quan replied lightly.

Xu Sheng took a dozen people with him, and boldly went to Jiang Ji's direction to investigate, but they suddenly ran towards Shi Shui in the middle of the walk. This strange scene made Jiang Ji and Zhang Liao very puzzled.

"General Zhang, what is Jiangdong Bing's intention?" Jiang Ji looked bewildered.

Zhang Liao shook his head, expressing his puzzlement: "I don't know, the Jiangdong rats did something unexpected, sir, let's wait and see what happens."

Xu Sheng's men ran suddenly, Cao Jun remained motionless, and all Jiangdong generals on the warship had question marks on their faces.

Zhou Tai came to the side of the boat and shouted loudly towards the shore: "Wen Xiang (Xu Sheng), why are you panicking?"

Xu Sheng stood on the spot and swallowed his saliva, then panted and replied: "Zhang Zhangliao's flag. Beware of fraud"

"My lord, what do you think?" Zhou Tai turned around and asked for instructions.

Because of the last battle of fame in Hefei, Zhang Liao's name has the effect of stopping the cry in Jiangdong. 800 people have the strength to defeat 10 people. Now the 3000 people not far away can still win?
At this time, no one persuaded Sun Quan, and everyone lost face together, but in the end it was the lord who took the blame, so the pressure still came to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was at a loss now, and the total force he brought this time was less than [-]. He had no confidence in defeating Zhang Liao, but he was unwilling to leave in such a disheveled manner.

While Sun Quan was hesitating, Hu Zongjin, the governor of the right department of Xie Fan Wei, said: "Jiang Ji is no more than Cao Cao's subordinate. You are the lord of Jiangdong. How can you commit yourself to come in person? Since Jiang Ji wrote a letter to ask for an interview, he should be with us. Lord, why don't you let him come and see you?"

"Wei Ze (Hu Zong) is right, but what if the other party doesn't come?" Sun Quan asked.

"If he is cowardly and doesn't come and break the appointment first, we can ignore it and go away, and we can lead our troops to fight in the future." Hu Zong replied.

Sun Quan stroked his green bean and said affirmatively, "According to Wei Ze's words, did you hear that, Youping?"

Zhou Tai nodded, and then told Xu Sheng on the bank: "Wen Xiang, you go again and let Jiang Ji meet by Shishui."

Xu Sheng's eyes widened, thinking who would be so stupid to come to die, he couldn't help asking: "I'm afraid the other party won't come?"

"This is the Lord's general order, let's carry out the order." Zhou Tai raised his voice.

"Wei." Xu Sheng could only bite the bullet and move forward.

Xu Sheng and his entourage turned back again, and when they were about to reach the front of Cao Jun's formation, they met the scouts sent by Zhang Liao to greet them, and Sun Quan's meaning was passed back like this.

Zhang Liao smiled wryly after hearing this: "I know Jiangdong is a moron, but I didn't expect him to act like this. He wants to lure Mr. to come forward, or kill or capture him as a fish, so we won't fall into his scheme."

Jiang Ji frowned and said solemnly: "Sun Quan's courage is a bit small, but as the lord of Jiangdong, he will not do such a despicable thing. This man is afraid to disembark because of General Hu Wei. The king of Wei entrusted me with important matters , so why not go to see each other alone?"

"Sir, don't do that. Are we afraid that he won't succeed? We can talk with the whole army directly." Zhang Liao stopped.

"That may scare Sun Quan away. We are not only retreating Jiangdong soldiers, the king of Wei needs reinforcements along the way now, I have made up my mind, Wen Yuan should stop persuading him." Jiang Ji was resolute.

Jiang Ji had the right to do things cheaply, and Zhang Liao couldn't persuade him any more when he saw this, so he could only send a few personal guards to follow him, and he just walked to the bank where the water was applied.

The eyes of the generals on the Jiangdong battleship were burning, and the soldiers in full armor with bows and arrows were paying attention. They did not expect Jiang Ji to be so bold. Now that the two sides are so close, Zhang Liao's guards holding shields could not stop the attack on the ship. plotting.

"Mr. Zitong, please get on the boat and answer." Zhou Tai shouted at the side of the boat.

Jiang Ji laughed and said, "Sun Cheqi is so afraid of me? Originally, I was very sincere to give gifts, but it's a pity that you dare not accept them."

"What's the gift, sir?" Sun Quan, with blue eyes and purple beard, appeared beside the boat in response.

Jiang Ji replied in a deep voice: "The matter is confidential, please ask the general to disembark and speak. I can see everything behind me, and there are only a few soldiers accompanying me. Is it not enough sincerity?"

"Okay." Sun Quan agreed, and then ordered Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and twenty tiger soldiers to disembark.

The two sides were facing each other less than ten feet apart, and Sun Quan looked at Jiang Ji first and asked: "Mr. said in the letter that there is something important and good to discuss. I don't know what it is?"

"May I take the liberty to ask, does the general know how your former ally, brother-in-law Liu Bei is doing now?" Jiang Ji asked meaningfully.

Sun Quan frowned, "Xuande defeated your lord in Hanzhong, and I haven't had time to send envoys to congratulate him, so why should you humiliate yourself?"

"Hahaha, it is indeed true that King Wei withdrew from Hanzhong, but Liu Bei has now assumed the title of King of Hanzhong. I am afraid that in his eyes, not only the land of the Central Plains, but Yangzhou may also be regarded as something in his pocket. Does the general really think it is gratifying? ?” Jiang Ji laughed.

It was less than a month since Liu was named King of Hanzhong, and Sun Quan had no idea that his cheap brother-in-law had surpassed himself in the court.

"What exactly do you mean, sir?" Sun Quan frowned, and directly squeezed out the word Sichuan.

Jiang Ji asked solemnly: "How about giving Jingzhou to the general?"
