Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 535

"Sir, what nonsense are you talking about? King Wei wants to give Xiangyang and Nanyang to Jiangdong?" Sun Quan sneered.

Jiang Ji explained calmly: "To be honest, Xiangyang is being attacked by Guan Yu. Even if King Wei wants to send him off, the general may not be able to get it, right?"

Jiangxia currently has Lu Meng in charge, and Guan Yu's big moves in Hanshui have not been hidden from Jiangdong's eyes. Not long ago, Sun Quan received the news that Guan Yu had repeatedly defeated Wenpin in Hanshui and pulled out Cao Jun's strongholds on Hanshui. , It turns out that Guan Yu hit Xiangyang's attention.

"The King of Wei sent Mr. to ask for peace?" Sun Quan suddenly became confident.

Jiang Ji twitched his beard and smiled, "General Zhang's troops are two miles away. Does General Sun think it is necessary to seek peace with Jiangdong? The King of Wei just wants to join hands with Jiangdong to take Jingzhou. If Guan Yu can win Xiangyang through Han Dynasty Water, it’s not good for you or me, is it?”

"General Guan and Jiangdong are good neighbors and friends. King Wei may not have the prestige of Chibi." Sun Quan is not a good person either.

Jiang Ji raised his head and laughed twice, and then asked meaningfully: "Good neighborliness and friendship? Is it different from the rumors? I heard that the general once asked Guan Yu to marry him, but was insulted as 'Tiger women don't marry dog ​​sons'. General Sun is very generous. "

Sun Quan's face changed instantly, and he didn't know who was spreading the rumors. It had been so long, and Jiang Ji even took it out to rub him. He quickly explained: "Mr. Don't marry Quanzi', wouldn't it be too childish to use such words to separate things?"

"Really? Guan Yu has an arrogant personality. I'm afraid it's not so pleasant to be a neighbor of such a person. The general attacked Jiangxia secretly in the past, isn't he afraid that he will turn around and attack Jiangxia after he wins Xiangyang? After all, Liu Bei named him the shepherd of Jingzhou." Jiang Ji Keep reminding.

The sun was in the sky, and there was no cover on the shore. Sun Quan said impatiently: "Although you are eloquent, sir, how can the state affairs be changed with just a few words? If you have nothing important to do, we might as well go back to the camp to rectify our troops. Just fight every day."

Sun Quan's tone became blunt, meaning that there was no real material, and he didn't want to waste any more time.

Seeing this, Jiang Ji said solemnly: "Now that Guan Yu is attacking Xiangyang and Fancheng on a large scale, the rear of Nanjun must be extremely empty. The king of Wei has sent Xu Huang and Yu Jin to help. The cities of Xiangyang and Fancheng are tall and strong. Guan Yu will not be able to attack them in a short time. Those who come down, why don't General Sun lead Jiangdong's army to attack behind him, and attack from both sides to capture and kill Guan Yu."

"The king of Wei thought really well, but we, Sun Liu, are both in-laws and allies, don't you underestimate me, Sun Quan?"

"The general and King Wei are related by marriage. Besides, how can there be any real allies in this world? The King of Wei promises to let the general stay in Jingzhou and Jiangdong forever after the matter is fulfilled."

Cao Cao gave Jiang Ji an easy way to do things. At this time, he took out a "bad check" and began to fill in the numbers. As long as the temptation is strong enough, he is not afraid that Sun Quan will not be tempted.

"Would the King of Wei be so kind? After the event is completed, he won't take a single county of Jingzhou?" Sun Quan expressed doubts.

"The general should be very clear that since Liu Bei's betrayal in Xuzhou, he has been rebelling against the court and fighting against the king of Wei. These 20 years have never changed, so there will never be reconciliation between Cao and Liu. Liu Bei's arrogance as king, this matter makes me difficult. , plus he is old now, and he is powerless to expand the territory, as long as he can suppress the villain, it is worth paying a price." Jiang Ji gave a very reasonable explanation.

"Although Zitong's words are well-founded, they are unsubstantiated. If I really defeated Guan Yu for the king of Wei, what if you go back on your word?" Sun Quan raised his eyes and asked.

"Jiangdong attacked the rear of Jingzhou, won't he occupy the city and control the people? The land of the city is already in the hands of the princes, are you afraid that we will go back on our word?" Jiang Ji smiled cunningly.

Sun Quan was stunned when he heard that, and he had already made up his mind. The so-called loyalty was only because he didn't have enough bargaining chips for betrayal. Now the bargaining chips offered by Cao Cao are already very attractive. Up front is worth it.

"I can think about it, but it's still unfounded. The Jiangdong warship can return to Ruxu for the time being, but the king of Wei needs to show some sincerity." Sun Quan took the retreat as an advance and threw the question to Jiang Ji.

Jiang Ji nodded slightly, "It's not too far away, the general can retreat to Ruxu first, and slowly start deploying to attack Jingzhou. Please leave a few warships waiting in Chaohu Lake. I believe we can bring back King Wei soon. sincerity."

"Then I will wait for the good news." Sun Quan bowed his hands in return.

The two sides boarded the boat, and the horse and horse rode. Sun Quan left Xu Sheng in Chaohu to wait for the news, and led Jiangdong to withdraw from Shishui and advance to Chaohu Ruxuwu.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin understood Sun Quan's thoughts because they accompanied him all the way, but the others didn't know and dared not ask.

On the way back to Ruxu by boat, General Pingnan Lu Fan met Sun Quan alone and asked: "My lord, you have worked so hard to mobilize the people, but why are you returning without success? What did Jiang Ji tell you? You Ping (Zhou Tai) and Gong Yi ( Jiang Qin) is also unwilling to say."

"As a general, you should keep secrets. Guan Yu is attacking Xiangyang and Fancheng. Now the rear of Jingzhou is quite empty. It is a good time for me to take revenge in Jiangdong." Sun Quan revealed his thoughts in front of his confidants.

"My lord, I do. But you forgot last time." Lu Fan hesitated to speak.

Sun Quan's eyes darkened: "One moment, another moment. How can I not avenge Huang Gongfu and Ling Gongji's enmity? Liu Xuande is now the king of Hanzhong. If Guan Yu is still allowed to take Xiangyang and Fancheng, they will release me from Jiangdong. In the eyes? The difference between this time and last time is that Cao Cao's restraint is stronger, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to have this kind of opportunity again."

"Indeed, my lord can secretly send the governor back to discuss. Don't forget that there is still Lantian in Jiaozhou." Lu Fan nodded in agreement and made another threat.

"There is no reply from Cao Cao, so you should handle this matter in secret first," Sun Quan instructed.

"Wei." Lu Fan nodded in response.

The Jiangdong warship retreated to Ruxuwu to rest, and Lu Fan sent someone to Jiangxia to invite Lu Meng by fast boat.

Jiangxia is connected to the Hanshui River in the north and the Yangtze River in the west. When Guan Yu was fighting for the Hanshui River, according to Lan Tian's reminder, he kept his eyes open and closely monitored Lu Meng's movements.

Lu Meng received Sun Quan's call, and declared that he would return to Jianye to recuperate and confuse Guan Yu.

When the warship passed Chaisang and docked at the pier for the night, he accidentally met Lu Xun who had pacified Poyang Shanyue. He was also going to return to Jianye to report to Sun Quan.

Lu Meng was born as a general of the Huaisi faction, and he was a confidant general trained by Sun Quan himself. Lu Xun was the talker of the Lu family, a gentry in the east of the Yangtze River. Sun Quan has always carefully controlled his military power.

Originally, people from two opposing factions secretly had an unusual friendship. The two met unexpectedly in a foreign land, and Lu Meng graciously invited Lu Xun to board the boat for a drink.
