"What nonsense are you talking about, sir? King Wei wants to give Xiangyang and Nanyang to me Jiangdong?" Sun Quan sneered.

Jiang Ji calmly explained: "To be honest, Xiangyang is currently being attacked by Guan Yu. Even if the King of Wei wants to send me a gift, the general may not be able to get it, right?"

Lu Meng is currently in charge of Jiangxia. Guan Yu's big moves on the Han River have not been hidden from Jiangdong's eyes. Not long ago, Sun Quan received the news that Guan Yu continuously defeated Wenpin on the Han River and took away several of Cao Jun's strongholds on the Han River.

, it turns out that Guan Yu was targeting Xiangyang’s attention.

"Did the King of Wei send Mr. Wei to ask for peace?" Sun Quan suddenly felt confident.

Jiang Ji twitched his beard and smiled and said: "General Zhang's troops are two miles away. Does General Sun think it is necessary to seek peace with Jiangdong? King Wei just wants to join forces with Jiangdong to capture Jingzhou. If Guan Yu really gets Xiangyang to connect Han

Water is not good for you or me, right?"

"General Guan is a good neighbor to Jiangdong, and King Wei may no longer have the prestige of Chibi." Sun Quan is not good at fighting. He will not let go of eagles when he sees rabbits. He will not retreat easily until Jiang Ji reveals the real benefits.

Jiang Ji raised his head and laughed twice, then asked meaningfully: "Good neighborliness? Is it different from the rumors? I heard that the general once proposed marriage to Guan Yu, but was insulted as 'a tiger girl does not marry a dog's son'. General Sun is so generous."

"

Sun Quan's expression suddenly changed. He didn't know who was spreading the rumors. It had been so long, but Jiang Ji still took it out and rubbed it. He quickly explained: "Sir, you misunderstood the rumor. Guan Yu's original words were 'my daughter'

"Don't marry Quanzi," wouldn't it be too childish to use such words to drive a wedge?"

"Really? Guan Yu has an arrogant personality, and I'm afraid it's not that pleasant to be next to such a person. The general used to sneak attack on Jiangxia. Aren't you afraid that he would turn around and attack Jiangxia after taking Xiangyang? After all, Liu Bei named him Jingzhou Mu." Jiang Ji.

Keep reminding.

The scorching sun was in the sky and there was no shelter on the shore. Sun Quan said impatiently: "Although Sir, you may be eloquent, but how can national affairs be changed with just a few words? If Sir, there is nothing important, we might as well go back to camp and reorganize our troops.

Just fight every day."

Sun Quan's tone became stiff, meaning that there was no real material and he didn't want to waste time anymore.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Ji solemnly said: "Now that Guan Yu is attacking Xiangyang and Fancheng in a big way, the rear of Nanjun must be extremely empty. The King of Wei has sent Xu Huang and Yu Jin to help. The cities of Xiangyang and Fancheng are both tall and strong, and Guan Yu cannot attack them in a short time."

Those who have come down, why don't General Sun lead Jiangdong's army to attack behind them, so that they can capture and kill Guan Yu with a flanking attack from both sides?"

"The King of Wei has a really good idea, but we, Sun and Liu, are both in-laws and allies. Do you underestimate me, Sun Quan?"

"The general and the King of Wei are related by marriage. Besides, how can there be any true allies in this world? The King of Wei promised that the general would control Jingzhou and Jiangdong forever after the matter is accomplished."

Cao Cao gave Jiang Ji an advantage. At this time, he took out the "blank check" and started filling in the numbers. As long as the temptation was big enough, he was not afraid that Sun Quan would not be tempted.

"Will the King of Wei be so kind? Will he not take over a single county in Jingzhou after everything is done?" Sun Quan expressed doubts.

"The general should know very well that Liu Bei has been rebelling against the court and against the King of Wei since the betrayal of Xuzhou. This has never changed in the past twenty years, so there can never be reconciliation between Cao and Liu. Liu Bei has overstepped his authority and proclaimed himself king. This matter makes me difficult.

Ping, plus he is now old and unable to expand the territory, as long as he can suppress the villain, it is worth paying a price." Jiang Ji gave a very reasonable explanation.

"Although Zi Tong's words are reasonable, they are just words. If I really defeat Guan Yu for the King of Wei, what will you do if you regret it?" Sun Quan raised his eyes and asked.

"When Jiangdong attacks the rear of Jingzhou, won't he occupy the city and control the people? The land of the city is already in the hands of the monarch, are you afraid that we will regret it?" Jiang Ji smiled with a cunning look.

Sun Quan was startled when he heard this, and he had already made a crazy idea in his mind. The so-called loyalty is just because the bargaining chips for betrayal are not enough. The bargaining chips provided by Cao Cao are already very tempting. Although it is indecent to say that it is a backstabbing of an ally, but in the huge gains

It's worth it.

"I can think about it, but my words are still unfounded. The Jiangdong warships can be returned to Ruxu for the time being, but the King of Wei needs to show some sincerity." Sun Quan retreated in order to advance, and threw the problem to Jiang Ji.

Jiang Ji nodded slightly, "It's not too far to go here. General, you can retreat to Ruxu first, and slowly start deploying the attack on Jingzhou. Please leave a few warships to wait at Chaohu. I believe you can bring back the King of Wei soon."

Sincerity.”

"Then I'll just wait for the good news." Sun Quan returned the favor.

The two sides boarded the ship, and those who moved on horseback. Sun Quan left Xu Sheng in Chaohu to wait for news, and led Jiangdong to withdraw from Shishui and advance to Ruxuwu in Chaohu Lake.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were with him throughout the whole process, so they understood Sun Quan's thoughts at this time, but others did not know and did not dare to ask.

On the way back to Ruxu by boat, General Lu Fan of Pingnan met Sun Quan alone and asked: "My lord has worked hard and mobilized all the troops, but why are you returning without success? What did Jiang Ji tell you? Youping (Zhou Tai) and Gong Yi (Zhou Tai)

Jiang Qin) doesn’t want to say either.”

"As a general, it is necessary to keep secrets. Guan Yu is attacking Xiangyang and Fancheng. Now the rear of Jingzhou is quite empty. It is a good time for me to take revenge in Jiangdong." Sun Quan revealed his thoughts in front of his confidants.

"My lord wants to...but you forgot last time..." Lu Fan hesitated before speaking.

Sun Quan's eyes were gloomy: "This time, that time. How can I not avenge Huang Gong, Ling Gongji and their enemies? Liu Xuande is now the king of Hanzhong. If Guan Yu is still allowed to capture Xiangyang and Fancheng, they will release me to Jiangdong.

In my eyes? The difference between this time and the last time is that Cao Cao's restraint is even stronger. I'm afraid it will be difficult to have this kind of opportunity again."

"Indeed, my lord can secretly send the governor back to discuss it. Don't forget that there is Lantian in Jiaozhou." Lu Fan nodded in agreement, and made another threat.

"There hasn't been any reply from Cao Cao yet, so you should handle this matter secretly first." Sun Quan instructed.

"Wei." Lu Fan nodded in response.

The warships from Jiangdong retreated to Ruxuwu for rest, and Lü Fan sent a fast boat to Jiangxia to invite Lü Meng.

Jiangxia is connected to the Han River to the north and the Yangtze River to the west. When Guan Yu was fighting for the Han River, he kept an eye out and closely monitored Lu Meng's movements according to Lan Tian's reminder.

Lu Meng received a summons from Sun Quan and announced that he was going back to Jianye to recuperate and confuse Guan Yu.

When the warship passed by Chaisang and docked for the night, it unexpectedly met Lu Xun, who had finished pacifying Shanyue in Poyang. He was also preparing to return to Jianye to return his life to Sun Quan.

Lu Meng was a military general of the Huaisi sect and was a confidant general trained by Sun Quan himself. Lu Xun was the talker of the Lu family of Jiangdong gentry. Sun Quan had always carefully controlled his military power.
