Chapter 380 Reaching a Compromise

Liu Jing walked a few steps in the tent with his hands behind his back, turned around and looked at Zhou Yu and said, "After you left in the morning, I will calm down. After all, we are all ally. I should think about it for you. Frankly speaking, giving Ma Yan to you is to kill him. This has a great impact on my reputation and may even make the soldiers of the Jiangxia army feel sad. It is very likely that no one will come to surrender to me in the future. Can the governor know the consequences?"

Zhou Yu nodded silently, "I know!"

"Since the governor knows, the conditions I have proposed may be a little high, so please understand."

At this time, Zhou Yu had no way out. Don’t say what conditions Liu Jing had to offer, even if Liu Jing was willing to propose conditions, it would be a huge favor for him. He had no choice but to nod and said, “Please tell me if you want to say it!”

Of course, if Liu Jing's conditions were too excessive, such as cede Qichun County or Jiujiang County, he could only watch Huang Gai be killed, and then he would apologize to the Marquis of Wu.

In fact, Zhou Yu also knew in his heart that Liu Jing would not ask for conditions that he could not accept. It would not only ruin the alliance between the two sides and end up getting nothing, but also make enemies with Jiangdong. The conditions proposed by Liu Jing must be within the scope he could accept.

It is precisely because of this enlightenment that Zhou Yu came to Liu Jing again and begged him to give in.

"I have two conditions!"

Liu Jing spoke very slowly, so he tried to let Zhou Yu hear his words clearly. "The first condition is what the governor said in the morning, Jiangxia is the main one. The Jiangdong army must obey my mobilization. Without my orders, the Jiangdong army must not send troops without authorization!"

"Yes! I promise the state governor."

Zhou Yu agreed without hesitation. This was within the scope of his authority. In fact, he also understood that this condition was not of great significance, it was just a matter of face. It was just that he sent troops without authorization yesterday to anger Liu Jing. He needed to pay back this face. For Huang Gai's life, Zhou Yu had to give up his dignity temporarily.

"Please talk about the second condition."

"The second condition is that after defeating Cao Cao, all prisoners of war and spoils must be disposed of by the Jiangxia army."

This condition is the benefit of the naked. Cao Cao sent nearly 300,000 troops, almost exerting the country's strength. All kinds of food, weapons and supplies are invincible. The so-called disposal by the Jiangxia Army is just a tactful statement. In fact, it is to return to the Jiangxia Army, which means that after the war, the Jiangdong Army will get nothing home.

Although the Marquis of Wu sent troops for the safety of Jiangdong, which is a long-term benefit, as an ordinary soldier, if he gained nothing after the war, no one could accept it. This made Zhou Yu a little embarrassed. Although he could explain to the Marquis of Wu when he rescued Huang Gai, how could he explain to the soldiers?

In fact, Liu Jing was not so stingy that he would not give Jiangdong anything. He just wanted to concentrate all the spoils and prisoners of war in his hands first and he would distribute them to what can be given to Jiangdong and what can not be given to Jiangdong. For example, he could give some ships to Jiangdong, but tincture oil and grain must not be given to them.

Seeing that Zhou Yu was a little embarrassed, he smiled and said, "Let me do this! I will give you one, and I will also give you one, but all prisoners of war belong to the Jiangxia army, and secondly, I will distribute the spoils. Is there any problem like this?"

Actually, it’s still the same thing, but Zhou Yu had to accept it. At least it wasn’t gaining nothing. He nodded, “If so, I can agree.”

Liu Jing took an agreement from the table and handed it to Zhou Yu and said, "Since that's the case, we will make a promise, and I'm sorry to ask Zijing to center it."

Zhou Yu and Lu Su looked at each other, and then they realized that Liu Jing was already ready.

But there was nothing to say. Zhou Yu took the pen and signed his name on the two contracts and stamped his own seal. Lu Su also took the pen and signed his name at the center certificate.

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a little humiliated, Huang Gai could save him. He handed the contract to Liu Jing, "Zhou Mu, when will he give me the person?"

Liu Jing looked at the contract and then smiled and said, "Has Gongjin never thought that this was Cao Cao's relationship between us? He thought I would not give Ma Yan to you, and then Huang Gai was killed, so our two families turned against each other. Have Gongjin considered this?"

With Zhou Yu's talent, he certainly thought of this. However, in order to save Huang Gai, he didn't care about such a deep question for the time being. When Liu Jing mentioned this, he nodded, "I understand in my heart that Cao Cao doesn't care about Ma Yan, but if our two families turn against each other, he will be happy to see it."

Liu Jing lowered his voice, "Then why don't we use our tricks and make Cao Cao think we have really turned against each other. What does the governor think?"

Lu Su next to him couldn't help but exclaim, "Good plan, the provincial governor is indeed amazing!"

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Since I have agreed to obey the orders of the state governor, I will fully comply with the arrangements of the state governor. As long as General Huang can come back, Zhou Yu will obey the orders of the state governor in everything."

"good!"

Liu Jing nodded and said slowly: "Please follow my arrangements in everything!"

















Zhou Yu and Lu Su hurriedly left. Liu Jing looked at the sky. It was almost dusk. He ordered his personal soldiers and said, "Go and invite General Ma Yan!"

Soon, Ma Yan hurried into the tent and bowed and said, "See the governor of the state!"

Liu Jing asked with a smile: "How is it? Did General Ma adapt to the Jiangxia army?"

Even if Liu Jing didn't look for Ma Yan, Ma Yan would still look for Liu Jing. He never expected that Liu Jing would actually regard him as Wei Yan's general, which made him extremely dissatisfied.

He was also a senior general under Yuan Shao. He was appointed as the lieutenant and was named General Shengwei and surrendered to Cao Cao. Although he was demoted to the next level and appointed as the general of Xiahou Yuan, the qualifications of all the generals in Cao Cao's army were very old and he had nothing to say. Moreover, Cao Cao also named him the Marquis of Guannei, and at least had a title.

But when he arrived at Jiangxia, he dared not say that he could compete with veterans like Huang Zhong, or at least compete with later generations such as Gan Ning and Wei Yan. Unexpectedly, Liu Jing actually asked him to be Wei Yan's general. Ma Yan just learned that Wei Yan's other generals were just tooth generals. Could it be that he wanted to be tooth generals?

In front of Liu Jing, Ma Yan did not dare to be arrogant. He held back the resentment in his heart and said, "I would like to ask the provincial governor, what position is going to be appointed to a low position?"

"Haha! I originally wanted to appoint you as General, but I felt a little wronged and it was not fair, so I plan to change you to Sima of another department and guard Changsha."

Ma Yan was overjoyed. Although Sima of other departments also thought it was small, how much wealth and women should be there to guard Changsha, he was immediately overjoyed. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your trust in the state minister, you will never let down the state minister's expectations."

Liu Jing nodded, "General Huo Jun is now in Yangxin County. You go to Yangxin County first to handle the handover, and then rush to Changsha. Time is tight. You go back and clean up and set off immediately."

"Abide by the order!"

Ma Yan bowed his fists and hurried away. Liu Jing looked at him and rushed away excitedly, and couldn't help but shake his head, as if he was on the edge of a cliff and had no way to go. Then someone in this world was destined to fill a ravine to make a bridge. It happened that Ma Yan was such a person.

At this time, Liu Jing ordered his personal soldiers again, "Go and find Wei Yan and Liu Hu for me!"

Soon, Wei Yan and Liu Hu rushed over and saluted together, "See the governor of the state!"

"No need to be too polite!"

Liu Jing smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm asking you to come, there's something you two need to do."

"The state governor just ordered!"

Liu Jing pondered for a moment and said, "That's right, the Jiangdong Army general killed Ma Yan, my general. You can't swallow this tone, of course I can't swallow it. You two need to bring more than a hundred soldiers to attack the Jiangdong camp and ask them for the murderer. You might as well act more ruthlessly, burn their camp tents, and injure dozens of them. Do you understand?"

Wei Yan and Liu Hu were confused when they heard this. The two looked at each other. Wei Yan couldn't help but say, "But... I just met Ma Yan, and he said that the provincial governor had been granted the title of Sima of another department and was stationed in Changsha, and he was not dead!"

"I know, he died soon."

Seeing that they still didn't understand, Liu Jing smiled faintly, "Okay! I tell you the cause and effect, but this matter is of great importance and must not be disclosed to anyone."

















Ma Yan was anxious and wanted to fly to Changsha. After a little bit of cleaning up, he left Chibi Camp with several subordinates and one of Liu Jing's personal soldiers and rode his horse towards Yangxin County.

Going out of the Nanying Gate of Chibi, there is a flat official road that leads to Wuchang and Yangxin County. At the normal speed of riding, you can arrive in Yangxin County about tomorrow afternoon. After completing the power with Huo Jun, you can arrive in Changsha County for another three days.

Although there are still four or five days left before taking charge of the troops of Changsha County, Ma Yan has already impatiently dreamed of becoming rich and being a beauty.

He seemed to see countless local gentry kneeling and presenting plates of gold to him, and it seemed that seven or eight delicate beauties were wearing veils, hugging him beside him in a charming way, drinking with him and letting him play with him. As he thought about it, Ma Yan couldn't help laughing.

It was already dark at this time, but the moonlight was clear and covered with silver light. It was clear on the official road that they had already run for more than ten miles, with dense woods on both sides. The official road was extremely quiet and there was no pedestrian.

At this time, they came to a fork, with Wuchang County on the left and Yangxin County on the right. At this time, Liu Jing's personal soldiers shouted, "I'm in pain alone!"

He shouted to Ma Yan: "General Ma wait for me, I'll go to the woods to have diarrhea!"

"It's so damn that there's so much trouble, go!"

Although Ma Yan was anxious, he still did not dare to offend this personal soldier too much. He had Liu Jing's gold medal and amulet on his body, so he had to announce Liu Jing's defense replacement order to Huo Jun.

Ma Yan had no choice but to order a few subordinates to wait for a while. The personal soldiers covered their stomachs and ran into the woods. Ma Yan also turned over and got off the horse and peed on the side of the road.

At this moment, Ma Yan suddenly heard a bowstring sound. He was stunned, but an arrow shot into his eyes. It was too late for him to dodge. An arrow hit his chest. Ma Yan screamed and turned over and fell to the ground. At this time, hundreds of people rushed out of the woods, all of which were soldiers of the Jiangdong Army. The leader of the general, the white horse and silver spear, was Taishi Ci.

Several of Ma Yan's subordinates were frightened and fled in scattered ways. Before Ma Yan died, he recognized Taishici and shouted: "Taishici, I have no grudges and no grudges with you, why should I kill me?"

"Because you must die!"

Taishici pierced Ma Yan's chest with a shot and stabbed him to death on the spot. He drew his sword and cut off Ma Yan's head, waved his hand, "Let's go!"

He turned his horse's head and ran eastward, and the soldiers from Jiangdong also ran away gradually with him.

After a while, Liu Jing's personal soldiers came out of the woods tremblingly, and several of Ma Yan's subordinates also surrounded him. They only saw Ma Yan's headless body, and everyone was at a loss. Someone said, "Listen to the general's shouting, it seems to be Taishi Ci!"

"I saw it too, it was him!"
