Chapter 585 Negotiation, We Don't Accept

"My lord, there is a group of people coming out of Jiange Pass. I'm afraid this is the messenger from over there to negotiate peace!"

Although Liu Zhang was somewhat dissatisfied with the Lucheng Army after Liu Yan's death, Liu Fan's capture, and Liu Dan's tragic death, he still exchanged news with the Lucheng Army.

Therefore, as soon as Liu Zhang sent an envoy, news spread from Chengdu to the Lucheng Army camp outside Jiange Pass.

Regarding the peace negotiation, Liu Bei had already recruited Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others to discuss it, and Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai had always agreed to negotiate a peace.

In fact, Liu Zhang wanted to surrender more, but Guo Jia refused. The reason is that instead of accepting Yizhou with many hidden dangers, it is better to clean up all the careerists in Yizhou at once, so as to prevent Liu Bei from being killed in Yizhou when he participates in the Central Plains hegemony. Hold on, the Lucheng Army has been fighting on several fronts over the years, which has caused the Lucheng Army's strategy to change again and again.

Xi Zhicai also had the same thought. Now the Yizhou gentry and the Dongzhou gentry have great conflicts. After the Zhao Wei Rebellion and the threat of the Nanman, plus 20 years of running-in, the conflicts between the two are numerous. Since this is the case, it is better to wait for them to relax. Or wait for them to take care of themselves before taking over.

Liu Bei's two conspirators both said so, and Liu Bei naturally agreed. He sent someone to ask Xun Yu and Jia Xu for their opinions.

Yuan Shao and Han, Ma, Xianbei, and Qianghu are really troublesome. It is really impossible for Liu Bei to spend a year and a half in Yizhou, otherwise he may lose sight of the other, not to mention Liu Zhang, the biggest internal response, even in later years It is also too late to send troops into Yizhou.

Guo Jia said: "My lord, it's okay to negotiate a peace. First of all, Liu Zhang has to give the three counties of Bajun, Guanghan, and Guanghan to the lord. The most important thing is to compensate the lord for the food and wages for sending troops."

Xi Zhicai also said: "Proclaiming ministers, paying tribute, trading with each other, sending children, and marrying are all indispensable."

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai talked one by one, and said many harsh conditions, and the posture was as intimidating as if they would not leave the Yizhou envoy.

Liu Bei stared and said: "Are you sure about such a harsh condition, Liu Zhang, oh! No, the Yizhou gentry will agree?"

Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai looked at each other, and said, "My lord, if you're not harsh? How can Pang Xi and Wu Kuang fight with confidence?"

"How is it not harsh? How can the conflict between the Yizhou gentry and the Dongzhou gentry heat up?"

Xi Zhicai immediately interjected, and then the two said together: "If the conflict does not arise, how can the lord benefit from it? How can we capture the entire territory of Yizhou as soon as possible?"

"All right!"

We can't fully understand the world of high-smart businessmen. Liu Bei decided to be the shopkeeper and said: "Then let the two of you receive the envoy. Fazheng, Zhang Song, and Wu Yi may represent three forces. It is best to win them all over." Come to our side, as for the terms of the peace negotiation, you can relax a little bit."

Guo Jia joked, "My lord, are they the three Confucian scholars that you must recruit?"

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, as if it was true that Zhang Song led Liu Bei to Shu. If he hadn’t died because of his incomprehension, he would have lived to the time when Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor. Being able to persuade Liu Bei not to send troops to attack Wu can be said to be Zhuge Liang's former prime minister.

If Zhuge Liang represented the Jingzhou gentry, Fazheng could represent the Dongzhou gentry, and Zhang Song represented the local Yizhou gentry.

Wu Yi is the most important minister of the Shu Han. Although his talent is not as good as Jiang Wan, Fei Wei, etc., he is a powerful foreign relative in the Shu Han. His sister has the special status of the Dongzhou gentry and the Liu clan. The fusion agent of Dongzhou gentry and Yizhou gentry.

If it is not to pull a Confucian scholar who must be surrendered by the top three in Yizhou, the three of them are also suitable.

"Ok!"

Liu Bei didn't say much and sent the two out, because he also had to meet an important person, the son of Dou Yihou Puhu and Zhang Fu, the son of Zhang Lu.

Since Zhang Lu took refuge in the Lucheng Army, he naturally wanted to express his sincerity. Therefore, Zhang Lu sent a proton. His son was still young, and he was accompanied by his younger brother Zhang Gui. The one who fled back to Dangqu was later sent to Hanzhong by Zhang Lu because he had no face to see Zhang Yun.

"I have seen Duke Qin."

Zhang Gui, Zhang Fu, Pu Run and a woman in a Taoist robe saluted Liu Bei.

"Everyone has worked hard from afar, take your seat quickly. I hope you don't dislike the fact that the army is so simple."

For Zhang Lu and other Taoists, Liu Bei must show enough respect in order to win the respect of Taoists, and Taoism is very powerful in Yizhou.

For example, almost all Dong Fu, Yang Ru, Ren An, Zuo Ci, and Qiao Zhou have something to do with Taoism, or they are all loyal followers of Huang-Lao Taoism.

Dong Fu was friendly with Chen Shi, Wang Shang, Zhu Gui, Zhou Shu and others. Ren An was the teacher of Du Wei and Du Qiong. .

Liu Bei waited with humility, Zhang Gui and others sincerely took refuge, and for a while, the host and guest were in harmony, and suddenly the Taoist woman said: "It is said that Lu Chengjun killed people like hemp, and Liu Bei is a villain who killed the king. Now it seems that you are quite kind?"

Zhang Gui's face changed greatly when he heard the words, and he shouted: "Seventh sister, stop talking nonsense, Mr. Qin is a benevolent gentleman, so how can he be the person you say? Hurry up and plead guilty to Mr. Qin."

After Zhang Gui scolded the Taoist woman, he apologized to Liu Bei: "Qin Gong, my sister Yulan is young and ignorant, and she speaks out of nothing. I also ask Qin Gong to punish her."

"Ha ha!"

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Don't do that to Zhang Jijiu. You said that Lingmei was young and ignorant. If someone blamed her again, wouldn't she be the person Lingmei said? Besides, today I have a family banquet for a few of you alone. Since it's a family banquet, what are the scruples?"

Zhang Yulan breathed a sigh of relief, patted her immature breasts and said, "I said Qin Gong is a hero, wouldn't he be so small?"

Liu Bei smiled and interrupted.

When Liu Bei sent Zhang Gui and others away, he saw Yu Jin, Gao Shun, Hao Zhao, Bao Chao and others striding towards them. Looking at the generals who were almost annoyed, Liu Bei couldn't help but stood at the entrance of the tent and waited.

"I have seen my lord."

All the generals paid their respects.

"Why don't you sum up your siege experience in your own battalion and come here alone?"

Liu Bei looked at the generals and shouted.

Gao Shun, who was always upright, said: "My lord, I heard that the Yizhou peace envoy has arrived. Does my lord really want to negotiate a peace?"

Zhang He and Wang Ling fought happily in Yizhou, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as hearty. Guan Yu also wreaked havoc in Berkshire, and they were the only ones who tackled key problems as soon as they came out of the mountain.

In addition to observing and researching key problems every day, they are summarizing their research achievements. They have hardly fought a serious battle, but now they are told to negotiate a peace, and the war will not be fought.

Isn't this a joke?Others fought wars with military merits and honors, but they suffered heavy casualties and ran errands in wars. Of course, the generals refused to accept it.
