The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 416 Who Will Be With Whom ([-])

Liu Chan sent all the generals away, leaving only Guan Xing, Ma Liang, Zhuge Qiao and other civilian assistants.

Only then did everyone take their seats as guests and hosts.

Only then did Liu Chan say to Jia Xu, who was on the lower left: "Doctor Jia, let's start the agenda now, shall we?"

Jia Xu was obviously still a little upset.At my age, it is definitely enough to be Liu Adou's great-grandfather, but to be ridiculed by him for nothing, of course I will not feel comfortable.

Jia Xu cupped her hands, still said with some resentment: "Please!"

Of course Liu Chan knew that Jia Xu's tone was full of dissatisfaction, so he sneered and said, "Mr. Personal feelings are mixed in."

Jia Xu was taken aback.In fact, a cruel and intelligent person like him has an absolutely calm temperament.It's just that what Jia Xu didn't expect was that he was irritated by Liu Adou's words just now under inexplicable circumstances, and lost his demeanor as a court official.

Thinking of this, Jia Xu felt that his performance was really disqualified, and he felt a little regretful immediately.However, now that he was taught a lesson by a teenage child in his seventies, what he felt was unpleasant, and only he could experience it.

Jia Xu immediately said seriously: "Liu Shizi don't need to talk nonsense anymore, let's get to the point first."

Liu Chan sneered in his heart, and secretly scolded the old guy, if this prince had given you a good face from the beginning, you are probably going to put your nose on the face now!

Liu Chan said to Mr. Ma Liang on the lower right: "Sir, you can start now."

Ma Liang bowed his hands to Jia Xu and said, "Mr. Jia, for our arrangement today, we will first discuss the issue of the release of the soldiers captured by both sides."

Jia Xu frowned when she heard this, and turned to look at Liu Chan who was sitting upright in the middle hall, her gaze became even sharper.

Jia Xu immediately said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty Liu is not allowed, we want to discuss the matter of Mr. Zhao Yan and Wen Hui first."

Liu Chan sighed, and said to Jia Xu: "Mr. Jia, the matter must be resolved one at a time, right? Besides, don't you know that my son has already made it very clear in his letter to the King of Wei?" , Your schedule here will be arranged by us."

Jia Xu's face turned cold. Of course, he had read the letter Liu Chan wrote to Cao Pi.But he always thought that the "schedule" mentioned in it was the itinerary of activities in Xiangyang City, but he didn't expect it to be the "schedule" for discussion!
Jia Xu immediately argued: "Liu Shizi, how can this be done? You should know that scholar-bureaucrats are the foundation of the country. How can you disregard the life and death of scholar-bureaucrats because of a few pawns?"

Liu Chan also frowned, and said: "Mr. Jia, I really don't know if you have thoroughly investigated how many soldiers in your army have become prisoners of our army before you came to Xiangyang City?! I heard you just now If you say it, you know you didn't do it!"

Jia Xu blushed when she heard this.Of course, the most important mission of his trip could not be for those captured Cao Wei soldiers.In fact, these prisoners of war were not very willing to accept them, because they had already imprinted a mark of shame, which really harmed the military prestige of Cao Wei's army.

Liu Chan was actually just guessing, but now seeing Jia Xu's face, he immediately knew that he had guessed right.His courage immediately became stronger, and a smug expression could not help showing on his face.

Sima Wang was standing behind Jia Xu at this time, seeing Liu Chan so proud, he remembered that his two uncles died at the hands of this Liu Adou.

Sima Wang immediately said with a sneer: "Before I came to Xiangyang City, I always heard how the prince of Hanzhong likes to befriend scribes, and how he is respectful to corporals. But now I see Liu Shizi abandoning gentlemen and prioritizing pariahs. It can be seen that the rumors are not true! "

When Liu Chan saw Sima Wang interjecting, he didn't stay polite like he did to Jia Xu.He pointed at Sima Wang in public and scolded: "What are you! When my son and Dr. Jia are discussing, there is no place for you to have a small entourage to make a beak! You don't understand etiquette."

Sima Wang's face turned red when he was scolded by Liu Chan.Liu Chan felt a burst of relief in his heart.

But this is not a g-wave yet, Liu Chan may definitely abuse Sima Wang like this, but it is still not enjoyable enough.He immediately summoned Zhao Feng and asked him to throw Sima Wang out of the conference hall.

Sima Wang's face turned even redder, and he shouted loudly: "You can't do this, I am an envoy sent by Great Wei, I am an envoy sent by Great Wei..."

Liu Chan sneered and said: "Since you are an envoy sent by the Great Wei, you must know how to abide by etiquette and maintain the dignity and decency of the King of Wei. I will teach you a lesson for the King of Wei if you are so rude!" Just let Zhao Feng take it easy and immediately throw Sima Wang out of the meeting hall!

Jia Xu actually didn't like this Sima Wang in his heart, especially his cunning character, which was really not pleasing to his eyes.If it weren't for his current intention to cooperate with the Sima family, it would be impossible for Sima Wang to accompany him.

Now this Sima Wang actually dared to intervene when he was talking with Liu Adou, so that he couldn't get off the stage. Of course he deserved to be kicked out.Jia Xu just turned to look at Sima Wang, but didn't express anything else.

Seeing Sima Wang being carried out like a chicken by Zhao Feng in the end, Liu Chan almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

After Liu Chan tried his best to hold back his smile, he said loudly: "Mr. Ma, hand over the list of our army's prisoners to Dr. Jia."

Ma Liang stood up from his seat, turned around and took a large stack of papers from Zhuge Qiao, almost reaching Ma Liang's chin.

Zhuge Qiao quickly said in a low voice: "Sir, let me help you?"

Ma Liang felt a little uncomfortable, so he nodded to Zhuge Qiao.Zhuge Qiao moved halfway there, and the two walked over and put the materials on Jia Xu's desk.

Jia Xu looked at the pile of papers in front of her, which seemed to be filled with words.He was a little dazed, not knowing what the hell Liu Adou was doing, and asked, "Liu Shizi, what did you give this old man?"

Liu Chan smiled and said, "Of course it's a list of all the soldiers of our army who were captured by you. It involved a total of 450 soldiers of our Jingzhou Army."

Jia Xu found it inconceivable that the data Liu Chan said was accurate to single digits?But looking at Liu Adou's expression, it doesn't seem like he is lying.

Liu Chan went on to say: "If Dr. Jia doesn't believe it, you can take out a piece of paper and read it. Most of the missing soldiers' names, hometowns, ranks they belonged to, and the testimony of their superiors in the army and Pao Ze are recorded on it."

Jia Xu felt dizzy when he heard this, this Liu Adou is really crazy.Didn't he know that the so-called exchange of prisoners this time was just a cover-up, and everyone's purpose was to exchange Zhao Yan and Wen Hui?

The fact is that Liu Chan really doesn't know, even if he knew, he would definitely not accept such a statement.For one thing, the lives of soldiers are as important to him as those of Zhao Yan and Wen Hui;
Secondly, Zhao Yan and Wen Hui are not going to be exchanged with Cao Wei;

Third, the [-] Cao Wei captives held by the Jingzhou Army, he could not have killed them like Cao Cao, but they were too wasteful of food.Although they will inevitably fight for Cao Wei after they are released, but in Liu Chan's view, this cannot be a reason to kill them all.Therefore, Liu Chan must return them back.

Jia Xu was surprised: "Liu Shizi, what do you want me to do with these materials?"

Liu Chan looked at Jia Xu and said, "At least you have a list of captured soldiers from your army. Of course, both parties need to confirm this."

Then, Liu Chan nodded to Ma Liang again.Suddenly, Ma Liang and Zhuge Qiao brought out a large pile of materials from behind, which was even higher than the pile that Ma Liang gave just now!

Liu Chan pointed to the large pile of materials and said to Jia Xu: "Mr. Jia, those are the ones we prepared for you. Please confirm the materials of the soldiers who were captured by our army in the Cao Wei army!"

"What?!" Jia Xu groaned, jumping up from the seat.

Originally, Jia Xu's trip was just a bit of a waste of time, and he secretly negotiated some compensation agreements with the other party, and the matter could be settled.Then after I go back, I can also explain to Baiguan and Cao Pi. I didn't expect things to turn out like this!

Jia Xu was absolutely unexpected!
