The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 891
While Liu Chan was paying attention to the movements of Zhang Fei and Deng Ai's troops, he also had to pay attention to another very important thing, that is, Liu Chan authorized Quan Cong to recruit Zhu Zhi from Ruxukou. The matter of the men and horses under his command.

Therefore, the time here needs to go back at least one month.

At that time, Liu Chan announced that he would hand over the matter of Zhu Zhi's army in Ruxukou to Quan Cong. After thinking about it, he decided to send Quan Cong a stop and assist Quan Cong in handling this matter.

Of course, Quan Cong should have his own people who can help him with counseling affairs, so Liu Chan does not need to send out people who make suggestions, but should send Quan Cong someone Liu Chan can trust to help Quan Cong carry out Candidates for action.

So, Liu Chan thought about it for himself, and finally Zong Yu was elected.

Such a thing, to Zong Yu himself, really seemed a bit sad.Because he actually prefers to be engaged in government affairs, rather than always acting as a messenger to deal with the enemies of the Shu Han army!

What's more, after successfully negotiating with Yu Fan and Wei Teng in Kuaiji County this time, and persuading them to surrender, he has already written to Liu Chan, expressing his desire to go to the local area to experience it.In other words, Zong Yu now actually wants to go to the local government and serve as a county magistrate.

Therefore, although Liu Chan liked Zong Yu's diplomatic talents more at that time, but because of Zong Yu's hard work, he wanted to agree to his request.Now that the southern part of Jingzhou and the mainland of Yangzhou have gone through wars, some places need people to serve as county magistrates.

Liu Chan personally approved it at that time, and asked Zong to go to Moling City to report to him in advance, and after the report was completed, he would choose another place for assignment.Therefore, Zong Yu had actually returned to Moling City at that time.

So Liu Chan summoned Zong Yu again at Sun Quan's original residence.

Zong Yu originally thought that Liu Chan had already chosen a place for him to be dispatched, so he happily went to see Liu Chan.

When Liu Chan finished talking about his new appointment, the smile on Zong Yu's face suddenly disappeared, and he just looked at Liu Chan in a daze.For such a young man, he had the wish to be able to flex his muscles in the local area and then be directly transferred to the central government office to take up the post, but this wish was repeatedly shattered.

I don't know why the prince Liu Chan always wants him to do the job of an envoy.So much so that in less than two years, as an envoy, he has almost met several enemies of the Shu Han.This is probably almost unique in the Shu Han regime.

But now that the crown prince told him that he was needed to help Quan Cong to persuade Zhu Zhi to surrender, wouldn't it be obvious that he should continue to act as an envoy to help Quan Cong persuade Zhu Zhi to surrender?

Could it be that his destiny in this life is destined to go deep into the enemy's interior and play tricks on them?
Therefore, the astonishment in Zong Yu's heart at that time was absolutely impossible to be feigned.

Liu Chan was so embarrassed by Zong Yu's expression that he couldn't bear to send him to help Zong Yu.

But Liu Chan is Liu Chan, the kind of eloquence trained under the discipline of Mr. Zhang Xing since he was a child, and then trained in the National Academy of Medicine, is extraordinary, even Zong Yu must worship.

In the end, he successfully persuaded Zong Yu to accept this new mission with his penetrating tongue.

Zong Yu immediately left with Zong Yu.

On the other hand, Xiong Ping succeeded Quan Cong and commanded the army to besiege Dantu City for two months.But because Dantu City is really a dangerous city, a strong attack will have little effect.

Liu Chan was a little anxious.When did his army attack a city for two months!
Therefore, Liu Chan decided to provide greater support to Xiong Ping.He sent some siege equipment of Moling City to Xiong Ping and ordered him to capture Dantu City as soon as possible.

In other words, after Quan Cong and Zong Yu went to the Yangtze River together, Quan Cong followed Liu Chan's example when he left, held a large-scale combat meeting, and informed him of the latest mission Liu Chan had assigned to him.

At the same time, Cao Ren's army had already captured the entire territory of Lujiang County, and was attacking Jiujiang County from the west.For Sima Yi, after a long and fierce battle, Ping'e County, Xiacai County and the important town of Shouchun City.

In this way, Zhu Zhi's Ruxukou completely lost its barrier, and he could only face the attack of Cao Wei's army.

Therefore, the two sides immediately began to prepare for the final decisive battle at Ruxukou.

However, as the war progressed to this point, different voices began to appear within Cao Wei's army.They are divided into two sides: the main combat faction and the surrender faction.

Among them, Sima Yi was on the side of the surrender faction.

He believes that Zhu Zhi's army is now in a desperate situation. If they continue to use military oppression, they may take risks because of this, and they will die with Cao Wei's army. Second, it may force Zhu Zhi to surrender to the Shu Han army.

The above two situations are not what Wei Guozhu Cao Pi wants to see.According to Cao Pi's meaning, that is to take Lujiang County and Jiujiang County at the same time, but also to get the navy under Zhu Zhi's command as the vanguard of the future attack on Jiangdong.

In addition, Sima Yi's status in Cao Wei has begun to rise sharply, and he is very strategic. Therefore, in the confrontation between the main combat faction and the surrender faction, he finally helped the surrender faction win, and successfully persuaded Cao Ren to temporarily stop attacking Ruxukou. Attack, and then send envoys to recruit Zhu Zhi.

Sima Yi's move was exactly the same as Liu Chan's decision!Sima Yi is indeed a terrible enemy.

In the end, because of Sima Shi's initiative to ask for Ying, and because Sima Shi was Sima Yi's eldest son, Cao Ren readily agreed to this cunning guy's mission.

And almost at the same time as Sima Shi, Zong Yu was also sent to Ruxukou by Quan Cong.

The first diplomatic confrontation between Shu Han and Cao Wei began.

Among Zhu Zhijun in Ruxukou, the differences that had been suppressed due to the pressure of Cao Wei's army finally broke out at this critical moment of life and death.

The party represented by Zhu Ran is still loyal to the Sun regime.But now that the Sun regime has declared its demise, they will naturally want to change and avenge Sun Quan's revenge against the Shu Han army.Therefore, people of this faction want to take refuge in Cao Wei at this time, relying on Cao Wei's army to avenge Sun Quan;

Zhu Ran's opponent is Xu Sheng.Xu Sheng has prestige and seniority in the army, and his status in Ruxukou is second only to Zhu Zhi.

More importantly, he is also very strategic.He had already seen that the soldiers in the army wanted to return to their hometowns.Therefore, he followed the army's will and wanted to take the army back to Jiangdong.In other words, he wanted to surrender to the Shu Han army.Moreover, Xu Sheng's point of view has indeed won the support of a large part of the generals, and the number of soldiers who support him is even larger.

After the two parties argued like this, Zhu Zhi was no longer able to fully control the army.

Moreover, with the successive arrival of Sima Shi and Zong Yu, this dispute became more intense.

In the end, under the continuous lobbying and mutual attacks of Sima Shi and Zong Yu, the Jiangdong Army in Ruxukou was inevitably completely split.

Zhu Zhi secretly found Xu Sheng. In order to avoid the Jiangdong army's own people killing each other, he agreed that Xu Sheng would surrender to the Shuhan army with the army willing to return to Jiangdong.As an old minister of the Sun family, he himself has no face to surrender to Shu Han. He wants to surrender to Cao Wei with Zhu Ran.

In doing so, Zhu Zhi played into Xu Sheng's arms.

So, on the second day, Xu Sheng suddenly sent people to detain Sima Shi, and then began to count the troops and gradually withdraw from Ruxukou according to Zong Yu's intention.

But Xu Sheng finally let Sima Shi go, because he always wanted to leave a way for Zhu Zhi's people to survive.If Xu Sheng killed Cao Wei's envoy, how could Zhu Zhi surrender to Cao Wei?
When Xu Sheng's men arrived on the Yangtze River, Quan Cong's flagship Izumo had been waiting there for a long time.
