In December, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to stop attacking Wu's army. After receiving the order, although Cao Ren stopped the siege, the army did not retreat.

At the same time, Cao Cao's envoy Cheng Yu also went down the river to Jiangling. When Cao Ren saw Cheng Yu, he asked, "Cheng Gong, why does Meng De want me to stop fighting?" ”

Cheng Yu looked solemn and said: "Zixiao, Jingzhou has been fighting for a long time, and the loss of troops has greatly damaged my Yizhou's vitality." The lord did not want to delay any longer. Liu Bei in the north is eyeing the tiger, and our army will compete with the Sun clan again, so it will really be necessary for Liu Bei to reap the benefits of the fisherman. The lord ordered me to come this time because he wanted to shake hands with the Sun family and make peace with the alliance against the strong enemy in the north. ”

When Cao Ren heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. He stood up suddenly: "What? You want to make peace with the Sun family? "Isn't this kidding me? So far, the battle has been fought on both sides, and neither side knows how much blood has been stained on each other's soldiers. Can it still be with? Even if he is willing, will Sun Ce be willing?

Moreover, the end of the Battle of Jingzhou was also a big blow to his Cao Ren's reputation. invested so many resources before and after, and countless generals were driven by him, but in the end Jingzhou failed to fight. The soldiers have fought for a long time without success, and there will be no reward to expect. Doesn't this mean that he is incompetent?

Of course, what Cao Ren cared about was not this, but the impact of the termination of the Jingzhou strategy on the Cao family. After all, he is also surnamed Cao. So he said: "How can Meng De make such a stupid move, the battle of Jingzhou must not be abandoned halfway." If Liu Bei comes, Yuan Rang has heavy troops in Luyangtun, how can the Han army easily go south. As long as Yuan Rang can intercept the Han army. Jingzhou will be owned by our army! I should write to Mende and persuade him to retract his fate. ”

Cheng Yu sighed: "Zixiao, the lord has made up his mind." Needless to say. This is also something that I agree with Bonghyo and others. If Liu Bei comes south, Nanyang can't go, maybe it's Hanzhong, maybe it's Jiangdong. Thousands of miles of defense line, who can stop him? ”

Cao Ren sneered: "Wouldn't it be better to let him go to Jiangdong?" ”

Cheng Yu said: "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, if Jiangdong is broken by Liu Bei, we will win Jingzhou, what's the use?" Cao Ren immediately stopped talking. This is indeed the case, if Liu Bei goes to Nanyang and Hanzhong, neither of them can be taken. Then there is only one possibility, the army will start to break through from the Jiangdong defense line.

And if he is still entangled with Sun Ce here. What did Sun Ce do to deal with Liu Bei? If Sun Ce is annoyed, people simply vote for Liu Bei, and then lead Liu Bei to beat themselves?

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Ren himself was taken aback by himself. Sun Ce shouldn't surrender, right? It's also a prince. But Cao Ren didn't dare to be 100% sure.

After thinking about it, Cao Ren finally realized the importance of Sun Wu. Without that strong neighbor in the north, they can fight as much as they want. But if the north has the meaning of the south, then they can only go on the road of uniting. As proud as Cao Ren, he didn't dare to think that he could win Liu Bei by relying on the forces on his side alone.

Cao's army was in full swing of siege warfare, and suddenly extinguished the fire. Although the soldiers of the Wu army in the three cities of Jiangxia didn't know why this was so, they could finally take a breath. They were ordered to retreat in general, although the troops were grouped together and the city's defenses were strengthened. However, their strategic living space has been greatly compressed. That's not a good thing either.

Xiakou, Zhou Yu saw Cao Jun retreating, took a long breath, and smiled at Cheng Pu: "The war is coming to an end." Cheng Pu thought about it and nodded sympathetically. The two of them quickly guessed Cao Jun's intentions. If it is said that only one city of Cao Jun retreated, maybe there was some deceit in the meantime, and it may be that Cao Jun was using a trick. But when the news came, all the Cao troops in the three cities retreated, so they reacted. It should be the strategy of Cao Jun's side that has been adjusted. If you don't fight, then the next thing will definitely be to talk.

When Sun Ce received the news, he also sneered in his belly. Hmph, Cao Cao, you finally know that you regret it? Shameless people who have no faith, you always have to pay the price.

Cheng Yu arrived in Luo County under the escort of Cao Jun, and then arrived in Changsha under the escort of Cao Jun in Luo County. Sun Ce did not oppose the peace talks. Although he was 10,000 unwilling in his heart, 10,000 wanted to fight to Nanjun and Nanyang, but he couldn't be willful. The future of Jiangdong, the future of hundreds of ordinary people and military officials, weighed on his shoulders. Hu can't come.

Of course, what kind of negotiation will depend on whether Cao Cao knows whether he is interested or not. Although Sun Ce was also anxious about the future situation, who let Cao Cao show weakness first. This undoubtedly gave Sun Ce the opportunity to rip off the bamboo. If Sun Ce doesn't know how to grasp it, then he is really the lord of Jiangdong in vain.

Cheng Yu entered Changsha City and received a grand welcome from Sun Ce. In terms of etiquette, Sun Ce behaved very solemnly, so that people could not find a trace of fault. After all, in terms of age, even if Cheng Yu does not have an official position, it is enough to make Sun Ce respect.

As for the peace talks, Cheng Yu touched the ashes of his nose. According to Sun Ce, as the lord of Jiangdong, it is impossible for him to talk to Cheng Yu in person, and his identity is not equal. So he had already sent someone to Yangzhou and summoned Zhang Hong to take charge of the negotiations. So Cheng Yu can only wait.

Cheng Yu knew that Sun Ce was not wrong, so he could only wait patiently. However, ten days have passed, and Zhang Hong's shadow has not been seen, and Cheng Yu is impatient. Wait any longer, he will celebrate the New Year in Changsha. This Sun Ce doesn't seem to care much about peace talks. Otherwise, how could he be so perfunctory?

Cheng Yu posted it to Sun Ce's mansion again, and when he asked to see him, he was ruthlessly blocked back by the guards in the mansion: "The lord is not in the mansion, he went out to hunt." ”

Cheng Yu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, it was freezing this day, and the prey outside had gone to hibernation, what are you going to hunt? Do you have the leisure to go hunting, and you don't have time to meet me?

Talk, of course, is to talk. Zhang Hong and others also formed a huge negotiation team. is rushing to Changsha. It's just that when he was about to enter the territory of Changsha, Zhang Hong received an order from Sun Ce, asking him to wait in Yuzhang first.

Negotiation is also skillful, and Cheng Yu can be angry on the one hand, and prepare for more interests at the negotiation table.

Sun Ce made Cheng Yu realize in such a way that you care about negotiations, but I, Sun, don't care too much. So, what can you give me?

For future cooperation, Sun Ce knows that this is an inevitable choice. But Cao Cao really didn't deserve his trust. Therefore, this cooperation can only be a limited cooperation. After repelling Liu Bei's invasion, it is a big question whether the two alliances can continue to exist.

This time, Cao Cao turned his face first, and next time Sun Ce also wanted to strike first. Before the peace talks officially began, Sun Ce was thinking about flipping the table after the peace talks, even if the peace talks were completed, how stable could the covenant be?

In the wind and snow, Zhang Hong finally came late in Cheng Yu's full expectation. And this year is almost over.
