Seeing that Mrs. Cai was angry, the face of the soldier blocking the road was ugly, and he didn't dare to make any more moves for a while, but the hand he stretched out still did not retract.

Wei Yan said helplessly: "Madame, don't worry, I would have promised Liu Bei yes, but I still have to discuss the specifics." ”

Since Wei Yan agreed, Mrs. Cai was not willful, in her eyes, it would be good if she could save Cai Mao's life, and the rest did not dare to ask for too much extravagance.

"Well, since the general agrees, then the woman waits."

"Order, the army pauses the attack." Slowing down Mrs. Cai, Wei Yan reluctantly ordered to negotiate with Liu Bei.

At this time, Pang Tong came to Wei Yan's side and suggested: "General Wei, Liu Bei will definitely make unreasonable demands with Cai Mao as the handle, and he thinks that Cai Mao should be let out of trouble first before he has the initiative." ”

"Oh." Although Wei Yan has never seen Pang Tong's talent, before leaving, he heard Li Huiyi mention it. "Sir, there must be a way, say it quickly."

Pang Tong replied: "There is only one person who can break this game, and that is Zhuge Liang." ”

"Him?" Wei Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Can this person help?" ”

Pang Tong nodded confidently and said, "General, please rest assured, Zhuge Liang is not sincere in voting for Liu Bei, so he will definitely help us and others succeed." ”

"Okay, sir, I'll tell you what to do." There was no way for him, Wei Yan chose to believe in Pang Tong.

The two whispered, Wei Yan showed a hint of realization on his face, and sent someone to inform Liu Bei, saying that he would negotiate head-on to resolve the current deadlock.

Such a move was exactly what Liu Bei wanted, and he didn't want to agree immediately, and sent someone to invite Zhuge Liang to come, ready to ask him to help put forward more favorable conditions.

At the center of the battle between the two armies, after Liu Bei agreed to negotiate, an area of more than 100 meters was quickly emptied as a temporary negotiation place.

Wei Yan didn't bring many people, only Huang Xu and a few others in his companionship, and Liu Bei didn't bring much, so Chen Zhi and Zhuge Liang and more than ten people.

The four of them sat down, and Wei Yan took the lead and said, "This is Zhuge Liang, right?" Cai Mao's matter, I'm afraid it also came from the hands of Mr., who is known as being as famous as Feng Xiao, how could he do such a trick? ”

Wei Yan's words didn't seem to be wrong, as if he was complaining and despising Zhuge Liang, but in fact, this had a deep meaning.

Who Pang Tong is working for, Zhuge Liang is extremely clear in his heart, and when he saw Wei Yan mention Cai Mao and Pang Tong, he was first stunned in his heart, and then reacted.

Zhuge Liang didn't care and said: "Liang acts and is eclectic, unlike Pang Tong, who competes for fame and fortune and deliberately comes to vote for the emperor's uncle, and is actually paralyzed and wants to become a big thing." ”

Wei Yan smiled and said: "Good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the lord to serve, look at the overall situation, in order to achieve great things, blindly going against the sky, will only harm others and himself, what Mr. Pang did is the right choice." ”

Zhuge Liang's eyes flashed, and he waved his feather fan lightly and said: "Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, let's get down to business." ”

When the two talked, Liu Bei didn't see anything, thinking that it was just an ordinary exchange, but the real intention was only understood by Zhuge Liang.

The meaning of Wei Yan's words was to ask Zhuge Liang to start from the overall situation and avoid the outbreak of a major war in Jingzhou, which would cause misery to the people.

As for the specific meaning, with Zhuge Liang's mind, it is not difficult to guess, it is nothing more than wanting him to help rescue Cai Mao.

Zhuge Liang interrupted suddenly, but also to pass on a message, he understood, he needed to think, and asked Wei Yan not to say more, so as not to reveal flaws.

Defecting to the enemy and betraying the enemy, this is a taboo since ancient times, even if he will be famous in history in the future, it is indispensable to be sprayed with incomplete skin, Zhuge Liang does not want to bear permanent infamy.

Just when Zhuge Liang was entangled in his heart, the negotiations between Liu Bei and Wei Yan also began.

"General Wei, Uncle Benhuang's conditions are very simple, you just need to withdraw from the city, and Cai Mao will be sent to your army."

"Liu, Uncle Huang, Jingzhou is my lord's ambition, even if I will withdraw this time, then next time, next time, there will be no way out."

"Hahaha, look at the things of today today, worry about tomorrow tomorrow, since Uncle Huang has chosen a path to go to the end, will he still care about these?"

Liu Bei's answer made Wei Yan have no choice but to say helplessly: "It's okay to go out of the city, let Cai Mao go first, otherwise who knows if you will go back on your word." ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Withdraw the army and release it, otherwise there will be no need to talk about it." ”

"You ......" The feeling of being eaten to death can be described as very uncomfortable, Wei Yan's face was full of anger, and he looked at Liu Bei.

Seeing that the negotiations were about to break down, Zhuge Liang opened his mouth and said: "Uncle Huang, General Wei, instead of not giving an inch here, it is better to choose the middle method." ”

"General Wei led his soldiers to retreat to the West Gate, and Uncle Huang asked Cai Mao to escort him to hand over the city defense, wouldn't it be better to compete for quality here."

Zhuge Liang's method is very fair, since Wei Yan has just agreed to withdraw the army, then this method can reduce his worries.

And for Liu Bei, it is also acceptable, retreat to the West Gate, quite half of last night's battle is repeated, even if Wei Yan receives Cai Mao and wants to counterattack, the victory rate will not be as high as now.

"Okay, Mr. Zhuge , it's finally a fair time, I hope it's not a trick."

"General Wei, even if Liang wants to play tricks, do you have a better way?"

was supported by Zhuge Liang, Wei Yan couldn't say a word, his face was erratic, and he obviously couldn't guess his intentions.

Seeing that Wei Yan agreed, Liu Bei thought for a while and agreed, after all, if the stalemate continues, who knows if anything will change.

"Yes, sir's intentions, coincide with Beibei, General Wei, time is pressing, let's arrange it."

"Humph!" As soon as he sang and harmonized, Wei Yan was even more unhappy when he saw it, and left with a cold snort.

As soon as Wei Yan left, Liu Bei immediately asked Zhuge Liang if he had any second plan, and he wanted Zhuge Liang to pretend to be a secret, threatening not to leak the heavenly secrets, and handed Chen a bag of tricks for him to open and see before leaving.

Zhuge Liang acted like this, and Liu Bei had no suspicions, only urging Chen to speed up and prepare.

Chen Zhi got the trick and was urged by Liu Bei, so he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and immediately reorganized the army to prepare for action.

After a period of busy work, the army was ready to grow hair, Chen Zhi opened the bag according to the explanation, and saw his expression change wildly.

Zhuge Liang handed him a bag, which expounded two choices, one was to surrender Li Jun on the occasion of exchanging Cai Mao, make great contributions, and open a new chapter for his future life.

Second, he followed Liu Bei's order, took over the West Gate, and used the pre-selected elite dead soldiers to preemptively drive them out of the city before Wei Yan made a move.

Two choices, the first, Zhuge Liang is obviously more attentive, Chen Zhi can also see from the handwriting, how to decide, it is obviously easy to see.

Chen Zhi's background is not high, and it has been difficult to get out of the poor family since ancient times, he knows this very well, and he is very grateful to be reused by Liu Bei.
