"Bo Yi was ordered by my family's big Sima to come to visit Uncle Liu Huang and greet him for his good health!"

"Thank you Da Sima for your thoughts, Prince Boyi, please take a seat, come here, the banquet is entertained!"

Wearing a purple and gold crown and a Suluo robe, Guo Yi walked in proudly, and when he saluted with his fists, his waist and knees were straight, compared with the groveling Shisong, it was simply a heaven and an underground!

The identity of the person who came was different, and the way of hospitality was also different, Liu Bei's face was cloudy, and he greeted him very politely, and the civil and military officials also stood up one after another, clasped their fists and bowed, even Kong Ming and Pang Tong were no exception.

The son of the ghost genius Guo Jia, the sister-in-law of the great Sima Xiao Yi, and the disciple of the poisoner Jia Xu...... With any kind of identity, he has the qualifications to be a VIP, and Guo Yi is naturally highly respected.

More importantly, Guo Yi is talented and intelligent, and has learned a lot since he led the 'student army', he has repeatedly performed miraculous feats on the battlefield, and his achievements in the future will never be under his father Guo Jia.

"When the distinguished guest comes to the door, there will be a happy event, and the great Sima sent Boyi Gongzi to come, I don't know what to order?"

"On the order of the Great Sima, I will give Uncle Huang a gift, hoping that the two families will stop fighting and reconcile!"

"Da Sima intends to strike the army...... That's a good thing! ”

On the sumptuous banquet, Guo Yi ran all the way and was already hungry in his stomach, so he was as fast as flying, and he was very happy to eat, and there was no sense of restraint at all!

He also took out a gold box from his arms, boxy and five inches in size, with extremely exquisite workmanship, which was sent to Liu Bei, who opened it and watched it, and was immediately stunned......

No one expected that the exquisite gold box contained a few pieces of grass and a small amount of dirt inside, and the color of the soil was reddish, and there was a faint smell of blood.

The ancients bought and returned the pearls, but the gold box put dirt in it, or the first time I heard of it, what is the meaning of this, Liu Bei is like Zhang Er, and he can't figure it out for a while.

Fortunately, Kong Ming and Pang Tong were resourceful, and they quickly understood it, one left and one right attached to their ears, and whispered to Liu Bei that Xiao Yi's gift has two meanings:

According to the ancient rites: when the Son of Heaven canonized the princes, in addition to Bai Xuan, Huang Yue, chimes, drums and trumpets...... All kinds of ritual utensils, as well as a piece of soil wrapped in Jing Mao, to show the meaning of 'splitting the earth', its value is 10,000 times more than gold!

Xiao Yi gave away the clay of Jingmao, which is equivalent to admitting that Liu Bei is a prince, and he has the meaning of shaking hands and making peace, and he sent his sister-in-law to come, obviously full of sincerity!

Another meaning: The reddened soil in the box should have been taken from the battlefield, which is to tell Liu Bei that the territory of the Han Dynasty was created by the ancestors with blood and fire, and not an inch can be given to outsiders!

It seems that Xiao Yi already knows about the Jiaozhou-Baiyue matter, and he is worried that Liu will not be able to withstand the pressure and do the stupid thing of 'colluding with the barbarians', so he proposed to strike the army and negotiate peace, and as soon as the pressure from the north is eased, Liu Bei will not be afraid of the threat from the south.

Liu Bei's side suffered from the enemy on his back, and seeing that there was a catastrophe, Xiao Yi not only did not send troops, but extended a helping hand, which seems incredible, but in fact, it is not difficult to understand, Cao, Liu, and Sun fought to death, all of which were internal to the Han family, and had nothing to do with the external barbarians!

The southern part of Jingzhou is in the hands of Liu Bei, and it is still the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it is still the people of the Han Dynasty under its rule; If it falls into the hands of barbarians, the nature is completely different, that is, the loss of power and humiliation of the country, Xiao Yat is a radical nationalist, so he naturally knows how to choose!

"Please tell Da Sima that Bei is the head of the emperor's family, and he should defend the territory and town, as long as there are three inches of qi, every grass and tree in Jingzhou will never be allowed to be touched by barbarians, if there is a violation, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"

The pressure from the north eased, Liu Bei let out a sigh of relief, raised the wine glass in his hand, saluted in the direction of Xiangyang City, and then drank it all!

The Shi family occupies Jiaozhou, like a stinger, threatening the south of Jingzhou from time to time, if Liu Bei Group wants to discover it externally, it must relieve its worries and uproot this 'stinger'!

Therefore, even if the soldiers and horses of the Shi family do not go north, Liu Bei will send a large army to the south to conquer the Baiyue tribe, and this battle will be fought sooner or later, it depends on who strikes first!

Of course, Liu Bei, Kong Ming and others also know that the people in the north are changing one after another, and the scholars are also ready to move, and Cao Cao can't suppress it.

The two sides are fighting wolves with hemp sticks - both sides are afraid, and they are not sure of victory, so they have to strike and negotiate peace, but the battlefield is over, and it is time for the war to begin, for smart people, what they can't get on the battlefield may be able to get at the negotiating table?

I don't see the famous man of the Warring States Period-Zhang Yi, with two lines of sharp teeth and three inches of tongue, lobbying the eastern countries, scaring the princes to tremble, and obediently ceding the land to the Qin State, which is more powerful than thousands of horses and thousands of troops!

For the table negotiation, Liu Bei is very sure, the three strategists are all quick-witted and articulate, Kong Ming has a glorious record of 'tongue warfare', that is really like a knife, scolding the dead is not worth his life!

This is Gangneung City, they belong to the home battle, there are also many people, there are advantages of time, place, and people, the other party is only one person, and the young one, as long as the threat and intimidation ......

"The two sides take the Yangtze River as the boundary, the south and the north govern their own places, and naturally there is nothing to do, and the emperor's uncle, as the emperor's family, should also send a son to Xuchang to accompany the emperor to fulfill the duties of a courtier!"

No one expected that Guo Yi would take the lead in taking the lead, and the conditions were extremely high, not only to ask Xiao Adou to be a hostage, but also to Liu Bei's side of a large piece of land, you must know that Jiangling City is also on the north bank of the Yangtze River!

"If you really have the sincerity to negotiate peace, you should take the Han River as the boundary, my young master is only one and a half years old, and it may be dishonorable to send it to the king, and after the crown ceremony at the age of twenty, I will enter Beijing to worship Your Majesty!"

Kong Ming and Pang Tong insisted on taking the Han River as the boundary, and most of Xiangyang City was in the south of the Han River.

"Cao Ying's army is one million and there are thousands of generals, and it is effortless to set foot on Jiangling City, and it must be bounded by the Yangtze River!"

"The river is a pool, everyone is united, Uncle Liu Huang ascended to the heights and shouted, and all the people in the world responded, how could he be afraid that Cao Jun would go south again?"

"If you refuse to back down, let's meet each other!"

"If you fight, you will fight, what are you afraid of?"

…………

The so-called political negotiation is no different from the transaction of businessmen, it is all about asking for a sky-high price, paying back the money on the ground, playing tricks, using means, and making a mess...... As long as you can get benefits, you can do anything!

Guo Yi has learned a lot from the master's true biography, and he has also learned a lot from the troll-Mi Heng, and he does not fall behind at all with one enemy and three enemies, sometimes quoting scriptures and mouths full of great truths, but slapping the table and glaring, more rude than Wufu, and the shouts resounded through the lobby......

After several verbal arguments, the two sides finally reached an agreement: strike the troops and cease fighting, shake hands and make peace, and the soldiers and horses on both sides who are facing each other will retreat thirty miles, leaving a buffer zone to avoid conflicts!

In order to show his sincerity, Liu Bei wanted to make a twist and turn to show his eternal allegiance to the Emperor of Han, which was tantamount to surrendering to Cao Ying, after all, the strength of the two sides was not the same, and they had to retreat all the land in the south of Zhangling County.

Zhangling County is located in the northwest of Jingzhou, far away from Jiangling City, but very close to Xiangyang City, the cavalry can reach it in two days, if you don't get it in your own hands, Xiao Yi can't sleep well!

In addition, Zhangling County belongs to the mid-mountainous area, the land is barren and the population is sparse, for Liu Bei Group, it belongs to a piece of chicken ribs, and it is not too distressing to send it out!

There are gains and losses, Xiao Yi got what he wanted, and naturally he had to pay the price, and generously gave his title of Jingzhou Mu to Liu Bei, so that he could crusade against Baiyue and defend the land in the south of Jingzhou!

Guo Yi also brought it, which was originally left to Xiao Yi by Cao Cao, but now he gave it away, Xiao Yi was not distressed about this, because what his eyes were staring at was not just a state, but the entire country!

In addition, Xiao Yi also allocated some ordnance, grain and grass, and medicinal materials to Liu Beijun to use, in the face of the invading barbarian tribe, the two enemies who had been fighting for more than ten years finally joined hands, this is the truth of 'brothers are still outside the wall to resist their insults'!

…………………………………………………………

"Boyi Gongzi go slowly, there is something please bring back to Xiangyang City!"

"Uncle Huang's gift, I don't know what it is?"

"Hehe, we'll find out later!"

After being full of wine and food, the negotiation was reached, Guo Yi was about to say goodbye and leave, but was stopped by Liu Bei, saying that there was also a gift in return!

A moment later, the 'gift' was taken out and placed in a wooden box, and it was a bloody and unsightly human head--Shi Song!

Shi Song couldn't have imagined that he came with a smile on his face, and he ended up with a corpse separation like his second brother Shizhi, and this Han man was too unreasonable, and he was killed for being rude to them, and he was also killed for being polite to them......

Liu Bei ordered Shi Song to be killed, first, to prove his determination to defend the territory and crusade against the barbarians; The second is to tell Xiao Yi, if you dare to kill Shizhi, I will dare to kill Shisong, they are all good men of the Han family, and no one is inferior to others!

"Boyi Gongzi - resourceful, tongue like a knife, and proficient in the way of soldiers, he will be Wang Zuo's talent in the future, and his future is limitless!

I heard that the student army under the command of Da Sima is composed of the children of the Zhengming Academy, but I don't know how many people are there in the Zhengming Academy, such as the son of Boyi? ”

………………

With Shi Song's head, Guo Yi was ready to return to Xiangyang City, Liu Bei took the civil and military officials and sent them all the way to the gate of the mansion, and when they were about to part, they suddenly asked a question?

In the world of great contention, it is a matter of strength, territory, money, population, and army...... These are all strengths, and the most important thing is talent, Cao Cao was able to dominate the Central Plains, it was by recruiting talents that he had a pattern of strategists like clouds and generals like rain!

Liu Bei is also a corporal and has recruited a lot of talents, but this battle for hegemony may last for decades, and the factor that determines the victory or defeat of several parties is the cultivation of follow-up talents, so there is this question?

"Haha--Zhengming Academy was founded by Da Sima, who poured countless efforts into bringing together talents from all over the world to teach, among which there are eighty or ninety people who are extremely smart and will enter the picture in the future, such as ordinary people...... The amount of buckets in the car is innumerable! ”
