Qin Mi went down to rest first, and only Sun Quan was left in the inner hall. At this time, Sun Quan sighed and said, "Do we want Cao's army to leave?"

Zhang Zhao hesitated and said, "Didn't Wu Hou publicly express his opinion before? I hope Cao's army will withdraw from Jiangdong?"

Sun Quan shook his head, "That was in November last year. At that time, Cao Cao and Cao Pi ignored it. The situation is different now. Cao's army has withdrawn to the north of the Huai River. If Cao's army in Jiangdong leaves again, I'm afraid I will not be able to help. But if Cao's army does not leave, I will not be able to afford the army's money and food expenses. To be honest, I am in a dilemma."

Speaking of this, Sun Quan took out another letter and handed it to Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi, "This is an urgent and quick letter sent by Cao Cao ordered people the day before yesterday. Cao Cao meant that we hope we could openly retain Cao's army."

Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi were stunned. They didn't know that Cao Cao had sent the letter, and Wu Hou didn't tell them either. Zhang Zhao hurriedly took the letter and read it. Sun Quan looked at him and asked, "What is Bu's appearance?"

Zhang Zhao handed the letter to Bu Zhi and pondered for a while, saying, "I thought Cao Cao was controlled by the agreement with Liu Jing and had to express his withdrawal of troops, but he did not want to leave Jiangdong, so he hoped that we would keep him so that he could give Liu Jing an explanation."

"What does the Changshi mean?" Sun Quan's eyes turned to Bu Zhi again.

Bu Zhi sighed and said, "Cao Cao wants to turn the blame on us. In fact, the responsibility is insignificant. The key is whether the Han army will withdraw from the lake. If the Han army refuses to withdraw, then Cao's army is better to stay. But if the Han army is willing to withdraw, there is no need for Cao's army to stay in Jiangdong."

Bu Zhi saw it thoroughly and directly pointed to the root of the problem. It is best that both sides can withdraw their troops.

However, the condition for the Han army to withdraw is that Cao's army must leave, which makes Jiangdong have to take a risk, first let Cao's army withdraw, and then negotiate with the Han army. Sun Quan pondered for a long time and finally nodded, "The Cao army stayed in Jiangdong, but it actually didn't have much effect. Instead, it would give Liu Jing an excuse to attack. Besides, we will make it clear that Cao's army must evacuate Jiangdong."

.........

Piling County is today's Changzhou area. During the country, it was a major military farm in Jiangdong. Jiangdong specially set up a Piling Diannong Camp here to be responsible for military farming.

However, during the Battle of Hefei, in order to assist Jiangdong in fighting against the Han army in Kuaiji County, Cao Cao ordered General Yu Jin to lead 20,000 troops into Jiangdong and stationed in Piling County. Half a year passed in a flash, seriously affecting Jiangdong's military farm in Piling County.

At this time, the Battle of Hefei had ended, and all Cao's army retreated north of the Huai River. According to the agreement between the two sides, Yu Jin's army must also retreat north of the Huai River. However, Yu Jin's army was personally deployed by Cao Cao and was not under the jurisdiction of Cao Pi. Therefore, his army retreated northward and had to be ordered by Cao Cao.

Of course, the armistice agreement signed by Cao Pi and Liu Jing represents the Han and Wei countries, and Yu Jin must also follow it. However, there is a time difference between this. After Cao Cao approved the armistice agreement, the order was issued to allow Yu Jin's army to retreat north.

This is a process that must be done. In simple terms, it is impossible to be impatient. However, the Han and Cao armies signed many agreements, and most of them did not abide by them. Both sides were used to it. Cao Cao would not take the agreement signed by Hefei seriously. In his opinion, the battle in Hefei was nothing but weak strength and retreated in a decent way. Once his strength was restored, he would also send troops south to seize Hefei.

Similarly, once the Han army has enough strength, they will also find excuses to tear up the agreement. The army will never be subject to the two-year armistice period when it crosses the Huaihe River and goes north.

It is precisely because the two sides had a tacit understanding in their hearts that Cao Cao actually did not want to withdraw the Cao army in Jiangdong. He hoped to use this army to restrain the Han army from attacking Jiangdong and thus protect Jiangdong.

However, Cao Cao did not consider Jiangdong's ability to withstand, and did not expect that Jiangdong would not be able to afford the Cao army's money and food expenses. Sun Quan has publicly expressed that he hoped that this Cao army could withdraw from Jiangdong as soon as possible.

But what made Cao Cao even more embarrassed was that although Cao's army had retreated from Shouchun, the Han army in Pengcheng had no intention of retreating south for a long time. Although neither side made it clear, Cao Cao knew in his heart that if the Cao army in Jiangdong did not retreat north, the Han army in Xuzhou would not retreat south.

It was precisely because of one thing that Cao Cao sent Yu Jin an emergency letter. In principle, the letter agreed to Yu Jin retreat north, but it depends on the attitude of Jiangdong. That is to say, if Jiangdong does not allow Cao's army to retreat north, Cao's army will continue to stay in Piling County. As for the Han army in Xuzhou, he refused to retreat south for a long time, Cao Cao would negotiate with Liu Jing again.

Sun Quan also knew this, so he sent Bu Zhi and Qin Mi to Piling to clearly state the situation in Jiangdong and hoped that Cao's army would evacuate Jiangdong.

In the Cao army camp outside Piling County, Yu Jin sat alone in the large tent, looking very worried. He put a letter on the table, which was just sent by his brother Yu Ze.

Yu Jin also heard about Yu Ze surrendering to the Han army in Nanyang. At first, he was quite nervous, fearing that Yu Ze would implicate him, but Cao Cao still appointed him as the commander of the Cao army stationed in Jiangdong. Yu Jin then breathed a sigh of relief. He was deeply grateful for Cao Cao's trust in him.

At this time, Yu Ze wrote a letter, suggesting that he see the general trend of the world and make wise choices as soon as possible. At the same time, the letter also revealed that the King of Han attached great importance to him, and if he surrendered, he would definitely be valued by the King of Han.

In fact, Yu Jin was also very clear that the situation was not conducive to Cao Wei step by step. The Han State not only surpassed Cao Wei in military and national strength, but also gained political advantages after Liu Jing established the capital of Chang'an. People in the world had gradually forgotten the puppet sky of Yedu, and regarded Liu Jing as the heir of the Han Dynasty. It was only a matter of time for Liu Jing to unify the world.

The situation has reached such a point, how could Yu Jin not consider his future? It’s just that Cao Cao treats him well, and Yu Ze still trusts him so much after surrendering. How could Yu Jin bear to betray Cao Cao?

As for Liu Jing's special emphasis on him, Yu Jin certainly knew the reason, so he could only smile bitterly. Perhaps meeting Liu Jing was indeed a fate arranged by God.

Just as he was thinking, a soldier quickly walked to the gate of the tent to report: "Report to the general, Qin Mi, the envoy of King Han, and Bu Zhi, the envoy of King Wu, were looking for a visit outside the military camp."

Yu Jin was stunned for a moment, and the two messengers actually came together. He pondered for a moment and said, "Please sit in the side tent, I'll come soon."

Soon after, an officer invited Qin Mi and Bu Zhi into the side tent, "Please sit down for a while, I'll go and invite General Yu to come."

The officer rushed over, and Bu Zhi whispered to remind Qin Mi: "Yu Jin may not be willing to withdraw north. I can implicitly remind him that neither attitude nor tone should be tough, so as to prevent him from detaining us as a qualifier."

Qin Mi nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."

After a moment, Yu Jin quickly walked into the big tent, and then entered the tent and said with a hearty smile: "I don't know that the two envoys have arrived, and I have never met you. I wish you guilty."

Qin Mi and Bu Zhi stood up at the same time and saluted Yu Jin together, "General Yu is polite."

Yu Jin and the two of them took a separate seat. Yu Jin asked Bu Jue first: "The army's food and grass can only last for a few days. I don't know when the Marquis of Wu will deliver the food and grass."

Bu Zhi smiled awkwardly, "Wu Hou is already making arrangements."

"Then I have to ask the Chief Secretary to urge the Marquis of Wu for me. The military discipline of Cao's army is still good, but once the food is cut off, I worry that the soldiers will be forced to do some acts that harm civilians. This is something that neither of us wants to happen."

Yu Jin's threat caused Bu Zhi's face to change. His smile disappeared, and his gloomy face did not say a word. Yu Jinsen stared at Bu Zhi with a cold look. Seeing that Bu Zhi no longer responded to him, he snorted secretly, with a smile on his face, and turned to Qin Mi and said, "I don't know that the Qin Lord Bo came from afar, and there is something important to Yu Jin's service."

Qin Mi took out a scroll and handed it to Yu Jin, "This is a ceasefire agreement signed by the Han and Cao army. It contains the handwritten signature of Wei Gongshi on behalf of Wei. I believe General Yu also knows this. According to the agreement between the two parties, Cao's army must retreat to the north of the Huai River, including General Yu's army. His Highness the King of Han wants to know when General Yu is preparing to withdraw his troops."

Yu Jin slowly took the scroll, opened it and looked at it. It turned out to be the original, with the signature of Cao Pi on it. He said in silence for a while: "I have heard of this matter. According to the agreement, I should indeed retreat north. However, the Cao army is very strict. I must receive the withdrawal of the army Hu Fu and the order of Wei Gong to withdraw the army. Yedu is far from Jiangdong. It takes some time. Please tell the King of Qin that once the order of Wei Gong arrives, I will retreat north immediately."

Speaking of this, Yu Jin took a look at Stephen and smiled and said, "Of course, the Cao army must be approved by Jiangdong to retreat north. After all, Jiangdong invited Cao army to go south at the beginning. The master did not speak, and it was not easy for those who were guests to leave at will."

Yu Jin thought Bu Zhi would ask Wu Hou Yunyun for instructions, and politely declined Qin Mi's request for withdrawal. Unexpectedly, Bu Zhi was unhappy because of Yu Jin's demand for food just now, and had long put the words to remind Qin Mi to be implicit and tactful. As soon as Yu Jin finished speaking, he coldly interrogated: "Wu Hou has decided to accept the armistice agreement between the Han army and the Cao army. If Cao army wants to cross the river and retreat north, Jiangdong will never stop it, and will also provide crossing ships."

Yu Jin's face suddenly became cold and no one spoke. The atmosphere in the tent became depressing. After a long time, Yu Jin nodded and said, "I will tell Duke Wei about Jiangdong in time to withdraw the troops. As I said just now, as long as Duke Wei's order is issued, I will withdraw the troops immediately. This is my official statement. Please also ask Lord Qin to report to His Highness the King of Han."

Qin Mi smiled slightly and stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye."

Yu Jin also looked at Bu Zhi coldly and said, "I hope Bu Changshi will take it to heart for military rations. My military rations are only enough to support Tian. There will be many unpleasant things happening to Tian Queen. Don't blame me for not reminding Jiangdong at that time."

Bu Zhi said nothing and followed Qin Mi to leave. Yu Jin kept sending them out of the camp. Looking at the team away, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What should he do now? Should he withdraw or not

He had actually received Cao Cao's order to withdraw his troops, but Cao Cao asked him to use Jiangdong to make excuses and delay time as much as possible, and eventually the withdrawal of troops was left alone.

But now Jiangdong has made it clear that he wants to withdraw his troops himself, and his military rations can only be supported for ten days at most. Judging from what Jiangdong means, he is not going to allocate grain to himself. Do you really want to force him to rob Piling County?

Mr. Wei asked him to do what he could do. The Han army was to be polite and then soldiers, and sent envoys to urge him to retreat north. If he refused to withdraw his troops, the Han army would inevitably launch a large-scale military lake and directly threaten Piling County, and might take the opportunity to destroy Jiangdong.
