Chapter 57 Nansun Liu divided the three states and Sima Yi plan to slaughter the royal family (21
Not long after Guo Jia got up and sent Zhuge Liang away, a bodyguard led Lu Su into the camp. Guo Jia has not stopped these days and has been bargaining with two military divisions, Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Lu Su, like Zhuge Liang, realized that Nanye intended to give up Yanzhou, and naturally he would not fall behind. However, no matter how good the conditions are put forward by Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, Guo Jia always does not say anything, and the negotiations have been fruitless. Seeing that the army was approaching Ye City, the chips of Liu Bei and Sun Quan also began to increase.
Lu Su is stimulated to death by Guo Jia's light appearance these days, as if Guo Jia is not in a hurry no matter how anxious she is. Today, Lu Su also risked his life. After entering the account, he asked directly, "Mr. Fengxiao, how on earth can the national teacher give Yanzhou to my lord?"
There was no greeting, no diplomatic rhetoric, and the initiative was directly ceded to the other party. No matter from which point, Lu Su behaved like a rookie in the diplomatic world. Of course, Lu Su was not a rookie, but was lost by Guo Jiamo. After a few days of negotiations, all the diplomatic skills he could use were exhausted, and the only thing left was a simple exchange of interests.
Guo Jia noticed Lu Su's eagerness, but he still looked relaxed and answered the question: "There are many people in Yanzhou..."
Lu Su said without waiting for Guo Jia to finish speaking, "I know that there are many people in Yanzhou, the area is wide, and I also know that Xuchang City is high and thick. Mr. Fengxiao has been saying it for several days. There is no need to talk about it today. Just say what the conditions are for the national teacher.
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Don't worry, if the conditions are very simple. The meaning of a national teacher is just an equal exchange, a state for a state, and a city for a city. If the king of Wu was willing to exchange the land of Xuzhou for Yanzhou, the national teacher would agree. As for the national teacher in the city, it is not forced. The king of Wu will exchange a small city for Xu Chang. This shows the sincerity of the national teacher. What does Zijing think?
As soon as Lu Su heard the exchange condition, he almost sprayed out the sip of tea he had just drunk. He finally swallowed the tea without making a fool of himself, but he coughed. It seems fair and reasonable to change a state from state to another, but the key is that the location of Xuzhou is too important, just between Yangzhou and Qingzhou. If Xuzhou is given to Nanye, Sun Quan Yangzhou's territory cannot be connected with the newly obtained Qingzhou and Yanzhou, which is equivalent to dividing Sun Quan's territory into two, and no matter what, Sun Quan will not agree.
After finally stopping his coughing, Lu Su smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Feng Xiao's proposal is too difficult. I wonder if I can exchange my new Qingzhou for Yanzhou?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It's useless for Qingzhou to take it, but the land of Yangzhou is okay. Is the national teacher sincere enough to exchange half of Yangzhou for the whole territory of Yanzhou?
Lu Su was shocked once just now, and this time he was no longer surprised to hear Guo Jia's absurd request. Although Yangzhou Sun Quan only accounts for half of the north, Jianye, Wujun, Lujiang and other important towns are in the north of Yangzhou. This is the foundation of Sun Quan. How can we give it to Nanye? Lu Su could only refuse again, "The land of Yangzhou is my master foundation. It is impossible to exchange Yanzhou. Does Mr. Fengxiao have any other way?"
Guo Jia pretended to be embarrassed and shook her head and said, "Since the King of Wu doesn't want to exchange, I have no other choice. Zijing can wait for me to discuss with the national teacher again."
Lu Su knew that this trip was coming in vain again, so he had to leave. What he didn't know was that Zhuge Liang had negotiated with Guo Jia just now.
Nan Ye's original intention was to sell Yanzhou to Liu Bei, which had nothing to do with the price. It was entirely because Liu Bei's attitude determined everything. In Nan Ye's view, selling Yanzhou to Sun Quan is completely an enemy, but Liu Bei's relationship with his allies has always been stable. Yanzhou not only benefits Nanye and Liu Bei, but also allows Liu Bei to check and balance Sun Quan. However, even if Nan Ye had made a decision in his heart, he would still let Liu Bei and Sun Quan bid to get greater benefits from it.
Guo Jia was instructed by Nan Ye to put forward the conditions to Liu Bei that were not as harsh as Sun Quan. He did not require Liu to exchange spare land equally, but only asked Liu Bei to provide enough people, money and food.
Zhuge Liang agreed to the conditions proposed by Guo Jia. Although the population is important, Zhuge Liang doesn't care, because the wool comes from the sheep. Nanye's millions of people can be completely out of Yanzhou and Xuchang. What Liu Bei has to do is nothing more than to buy land with money. Guo Jiading's land price of Yanzhou and Xuchang is not low, and basically took out the family money Liu Bei has saved over the years, but Zhuge Liang still nodded without hesitation and agreed. The value of Yanzhou and Xuchang far exceeds Liu Bei's efforts, and Liu Bei's credit can earn it back in a few years.
All the agreements have been completed in private, but the superficial negotiations are still continuing. Zhuge Liang is still running to Guo Jia's tent every day, all in order to show Sun Quan. Nan Ye and Liu Bei were afraid that once Sun Quan knew the content of the agreement, he would find that he had been fooled by the two families and withdrew from the coalition.
Just as the three families approached Ye City while negotiating, Cao Zhang had already returned to Ye City with a whip. The news of the fall of Xuchang, the fall of Yanzhou, the fall of Qingzhou and the fall of Bingzhou was almost on Cao Pi's desk, and Yecheng's culture and martial arts were in an uproar. Cao Pi gathered the generals to discuss countermeasures at the first time.
When Cao Chun saw Cao Pi's sad face, he said, "Your Majesty, don't panic! There is a way that soldiers come to block it, and water comes to cover it. The last general is willing to fight to the death and lead the tiger and leopard to relieve his majesty's worries.
Although Cao Pi does not think that Cao Chun can resist the three families*, he appreciates Cao Chun's courage to fight and praises: "Aiqing is really my minister of Wei Dongliang, and I am worry-free! It's just that the three soldiers and horses are fierce, and there are fierce generals and soldiers. They still need wonderful strategies to defeat the enemy. I don't know what strategies the public have to defeat the enemy?
Wenwu listened to the strings and knew the elegance. As soon as Cao Pi opened his mouth, he set the tone. Obviously, he only sought war but not peace, so he blocked the mouth of the Lord and faction. Dong Zhao came out of the class and said, "The losses of the three states have advantages and disadvantages. All states have tens of thousands of defeated troops to join Ye City, and the Canadian city has 200,000 people. Nanye, Liu Bei and Sun Quan's three armies and horses are only 300,000 people. It is more costful to attack the three prefectures, and they have to keep troops to defend the city. There are only more than 100,000 people who can reach Ye City, which is the end of the crossbow. Your Majesty, as long as you have more food and fodder to guard the city, the three armies will retreat for a long time.
Dong Zhao's words were approved by most people, and Han Hao said, "The grain and grass in the city is enough for two or three years. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about the food and grass."
Cao Pi heard that there were food and soldiers in the city, and his heart was much more stable. At this time, a man went on duty and said, "It's true that you can retreat from the city for a while. I'm afraid that the three families will retreat today and return next year. Your Majesty should still think about a long-term plan!"
The literary and martial arts in the hall looked for the reputation, and the person who opened the speech was the general of Jingzhou. Cao Pi also frowned when he heard the words. Now the three families have united. As Kai Yue said, if the three families attack every year, sooner or later they will die like Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao. So Cao Pi asked, "I don't know what long-term plan Kuaiqing has?"
