Chapter 365: A soldier who surrenders without a fight

However, after Guan Yu returned to Jingzhou, he did not immediately lead his troops to attack Jiangxia, but reorganized his troops and horses and raised grain and grass.

After a few months of fighting, although Jingzhou's grain and grass still had some surplus, it was only enough for self-defense, but not enough to lead troops to attack Jiangxia.

What's more, there are now more than 50,000 soldiers in Jiangling who have surrendered to Forbidden Gallymont, and the amount of grain and grass consumed is also astronomical.

Fortunately, it is now the season of rice ripening in September, and all parts of Jingzhou are rushing to harvest rice and send it to Jiangling.

Zhuge Jin arrived in Jiangling, offered a sticker, and successfully met Guan Yu.

In this situation, there are two people who can come to Gangneung as envoys.

The first is Lu Su, he is kind to Liu Bei, when Sun Liu formed an alliance, it was Lu Su who facilitated it, and he has a good relationship with Guan Yu, so Guan Yu will not hurt Lu Su.

But it's a pity that Lu Su was defeated and captured, and now he has become a prisoner.

As for the second person, it is Zhuge Jin.

Zhuge Jin is Zhuge Liang's own brother, and he has this relationship. Zhuge Jin was at most humiliated by Guan Yu, and he would not be killed by Guan Yu.

In the main hall, the military generals gathered.

Guan Yu sat on the main seat, next to him sat Liu Chan, and His Royal Highness stood Zhuge Jin.

Guan Yu looked at Zhuge Jin and said coldly: "Zhuge Jin, Sun Quan has repeatedly reneged on the covenant and repeatedly attacked my Jingzhou, if it weren't for Adou to bring the Xiliang cavalry to help, my Jingzhou would have been almost lost."

Sun Quan didn't wash his neck in Jiangdong and waited for me to cut off his head, what did you do when you were sent to Jingzhou? ”

Zhuge Jin arched his hand and said: "The general is angry, the general is angry." This time, my lord sent me to Jingzhou to negotiate peace. ”

Guan Yu snorted coldly: "Peace? I was about to cross the river and take Jiangdong in one fell swoop, who wants to negotiate peace with Sun Quan? ”

Zhuge Jin hurriedly said: "General, don't be impulsive, attacking Jingzhou is not my lord's intention, my lord is also bewitched by Cao Cao, Cao Cao is worried that Uncle Liu Huang will attack Guanzhong, so he invited my lord to attack Jingzhou......"

Guan Yu laughed when he heard this: "Haha, is Sun Quan Cao Cao's son?" What did Cao Cao ask him to do? Does he do anything? ”

"General, listen to me first." Zhuge Jin took a deep breath and said, "My lord and Uncle Liu Huang have the love of attacking Cao thieves together in Chibi, how can they sneak attack Jingzhou?" It's just that Cao Cao has always been treacherous and vicious.

He sent an envoy to Jiangdong, first to see the generals, saying that it was Uncle Liu Huang who colluded with Liu Zhang, so that Zhou Dudu failed to attack Yizhou, and all the generals believed it was true, and they were all indignant, and jointly made a statement to the lord, forcing the lord to send troops to Jingzhou.

Even Mr. Lu Zijing, who has always been good friends with Uncle Liu Huang, couldn't withstand the persuasion of the generals and forced the palace. I can only agree to come down and attack Jingzhou, and I really can't blame my lord. ”

Without any real skills, Zhuge Jin didn't dare to come as an envoy, and in a few words, he completely dissociated the sneak attack on Jingzhou from Sun Quan, and relied on the generals.

Hearing this, Pang Tong sneered and said, "Oh? Sun Quan, as the lord of Jiangdong, is so useless? Can't even do this kind of thing? ”

Zhuge Jin sighed and said: "The generals jointly persecuted the lord, kneeling at the gate of the palace for three days and three nights, and the lord was helpless!" General Guan, now that General Lu has been wiped out in Jingzhou, he deserves it.

It's just that this matter is not my lord's intention, this time the lord sent me here, it is to negotiate peace, now I Jiangdong tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stay in Jingzhou, the people are panicked, and please also ask the general to read the feelings of Cao Cao in Chibi, and put those surrendered troops back to Jiangdong, so that they can reunite. ”

"Hahaha!" Guan Yu laughed when he heard this: "Is Sun Quan a fool when I am a fool? When the army is defeated, he finds a reason to prevaricate in the past, and the matter of sending troops is completely clear from himself. Do you still want to return these tens of thousands of surrendered troops now?

How can there be such a good thing in this world? You go back and tell Sun Quan to wash his neck and wait. ”

Zhuge Jin looked embarrassed: "General......"

Guan Yu snorted coldly and said: "For the sake of the military advisor's face, I won't kill you, come on, blast him out for me." ”

"Wait!" Liu Chan said to the soldiers who came forward to expel Zhuge Jin: "First invite him to the post house to rest." ”

"No!"

The soldier walked down with Zhuge Jin.

Guan Yu frowned and said to Liu Chan: "Ah Dou, if it weren't for Zhuge Jin being the senior brother of the army, if he were someone else, I would have killed him a long time ago." You invited Zhuge Jin to the post house, did you want to negotiate peace with Sun Quan? ”

Liu Chan smiled and said, "Second uncle, do you know what the highest level of the art of war is?" ”

"Naturally, the soldiers who surrender without a fight!" Guan Yu said without thinking.

"Not bad!" Liu Chan nodded and said, "The best realm of the art of war is a soldier who surrenders without a fight.

At present, although I have 40,000 available soldiers in Jingzhou, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is from Xiliang, and Nanjun is in the north of the Jiangbei, so the situation is slightly better.

But if I go to Jiangdong and fight by the river, I am afraid that I will survive from the epidemic, and even some of the 2,000 cavalry who followed me to fight in various places already have symptoms of discomfort with water and soil. Therefore, to attack Jiangxia, the more than 10,000 cavalry were not of much use, and the second uncle's available soldiers were only more than 20,000 people. ”

"Not bad!" Guan Yu nodded, affirming Liu Chan's statement, Guan Yu naturally knew about the matter of not adapting to the water and soil.

When Cao Cao went south to Jingzhou, Liu Bei's elite under Liu Bei on the Changban slope was beaten by the tiger and leopard horseman, but when he arrived at Chibi, the tiger and leopard horse became a soft-footed shrimp, and they all fell ill.

Guan Yu immediately changed his words and said: "But the group of rats in Jiangdong, even if I don't use the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, I can go straight to Jianye!" ”

Liu Chan suddenly felt a pain, and he really didn't know where Guan Yu got his confidence.

Liu Chan actually didn't have the idea of attacking Jiangxia, first, a big battle had just taken place in Jingzhou, although it seemed to be powerful, but there were not many troops really available.

Moreover, it also takes time to raise grain and grass, and when it is ready, Sun Quan has already been stationed in Jiangxia.

And now it is Lu Xun who guards Jiangxia, and Liu Chan is not sure that he will take Jiangxia in the hands of Lu Xun.

Liu Chan groaned and said: "If you send troops immediately, there may be a chance to attack Jiangdong, but the people are harvesting grain and grass, and when enough grain and grass are raised, it will be at least a month later."

And a month's time is enough for Jiangdong to send additional reinforcements in Jiangxia to build a defense, although Jiangdong's soldiers and horses have lost half, but the population is large, I think it will not be a problem to send 20,000 additional reinforcements to Jiangxia within a month.

Therefore, a month later, Jiangxia was only afraid that there would be 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend, and the second uncle could only have more than 20,000 soldiers, so he was afraid that he would not be able to take Jiangxia easily. After all, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and others still have some skills. ”

When Guan Yu heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed: "Is it so cheap Jiangdong and promised to negotiate peace?" ”

Liu Chan said with a smile: "There are benefits to negotiating peace, as the victorious party, we can ask for land and grain and grass from Sun Quan."

Jiangxia is lonely in the north of the river, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned, and it is easy to take it down. However, we have one thing in our hands that Sun Quan cares about the most, which is our bargaining chip.
