Chapter 448: Negotiation

Jicheng in the hot summer season is in full swing and noisy like thunder.

When the Wu State and the Jin State combined nearly hundreds of thousands of troops poured into this city, the whole city was in chaos, everyone in the city was in danger, and every household closed their doors and did not dare to take the lead, lest they be affected by this battle.

A fire in the Yan Palace, which burned for three days and three nights, burned Gongsun Zan and the entire Yan Kingdom, and also opened the battle between Sun Ce and Yuan Shao.

"Sun Bofu, it seems that Lone underestimated you!"

Yuan Shao's majestic body, standing on the top of the south city gate, with his hands behind his back, his face was blue, his eyes looked a little hazy, and he looked coldly at the remaining smoke in the inner city.

At this step, he was still slower than Sun Ce.

Gongsun Zhan's sudden ** is equivalent to suing the whole world, Sun Ce eliminated the Yan Kingdom and captured Jicheng.

One step away, Sun Ce was already firmly seated in the inner city, and if he still wanted to recapture this city, he would probably have to make a big move.

The most important thing is that this battle is not worth it!

Wu Guo's soldiers and horses in Youzhou are not weak, Sun Ce's soldiers and horses in the city, and Sun Quan's soldiers and horses outside the city, add up to more than 100,000, but he is not afraid, with his current strength, plus the coldness of Ju Yi, he still has the upper hand.

If he was willing to pay a certain price and defeat them, he could still do it.

But once the fight starts, it will not be a small fight, but it will be a death war between the two countries, for a mere Jicheng, the battle between the Wu State and the Jin State will be fully launched, it will be really a little stupid.

You must know that Wu is not two or three princes of Xiao Meow, and it can be regarded as the overlord of today, although the main force of Wu is in Jiangdong, but if you really make up your mind to start a war with Jin. Sending hundreds of thousands of troops north is not a problem.

If you're afraid?

Naturally not afraid, even if there is a full-scale war, Yuan Shao is confident that he will defeat the Wu State, but he knows one thing very well in his heart, once the fight starts. It will be a lose-lose situation, and it will be Cao Cao and Liu Biao and others who will get the benefits at that time.

The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits.

He didn't want this to happen to him, so even if he wanted to recapture Jicheng now, he had to endure it.

"What's going on over there with Ju Yi?"

Yuan Shao thought for a while and asked. He knew very well in his heart that now he wanted to completely drive Sun Ce out of Jicheng, unless Ju Yi's soldiers and horses entered the city to assist, otherwise the two of them would fight for a year and a half. It may not be fruitful.

"King, Sun Zhongmou is very difficult to deal with, and now there is a Pang Tong by his side, with many tricks, General Ju Yi has never been able to get out of the city!"

Tian Feng groaned for a while, and Yuan Shao, who was looking at him, had a somewhat blue face, but he still said it directly.

Sun Quan's strength was not as good as Ju Yi's, but there was no problem at all in holding Ju Yi back. Therefore, Ju Yi was never able to lead his troops into the city and turn Yuan Shao.

"Rubbish!"

Yuan Shao heard this. His face was gloomy, and a breath of anger towards Ju Yi broke out in his heart, and he said coldly: "He is a dignified general of the Jin Kingdom, experienced in a hundred battles, and now his strength is obviously above Sun Zhongmou, and he can't even deal with a kid who has not dried up." Let Lone Down! ”

Ju Yi was a general that Yuan Shao relied on very much, but since the Battle of Jieqiao and defeated Gongsun Zhan, his personality has become a little arrogant, and at the same time he has prestige in the army. It also made Yuan Shao a little jealous.

But Ju Yi has outstanding ability, extraordinary force, and invincible, Yuan Shao has always taken three points of importance to him, but it does not mean that Yuan Shao has no anger in his heart.

It's just that this resentment has been suppressed.

But this time Ju Yi was played by Pang Tong and was defeated, but it made Yuan Shao's anger towards him vent in his heart, looking horizontally and vertically, no matter how he looked at Ju Yi, it was a little unpleasant.

"King!" As soon as Tian Feng heard Yuan Shao's tone, he hurriedly surrendered his hand and said analytically: "Sun Zhongmou is now surrounded by both civil and military affairs, Wen has Pang Tong to give advice, and Wu has Huang Zhong and Zhou Tai, all of whom are tiger and wolf generals, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and their combat effectiveness is not weak. ”

The strength of the Jin State today can be said to be in full swing, and the national strength is thriving, if it is because of the discord between the monarchs and ministers between Yuan Shao and Ju Yi, it will lead to internal chaos, it will be a tragedy.

Tian Feng has a long-term view, so he must not let this kind of thing happen.

"Humph!"

When Yuan Shao heard this, he calmed down, just snorted coldly, didn't say anything more, thought about it, and then shifted the topic to the city, he asked lightly: "Yuan Hao, Sun Bofu is now firmly occupying the inner city and the northeast city, blocking Lone, so it's not a way to hold on like this, you can have a good strategy, drive him out?" ”

He suffered a loss from Sun Quan, so he wanted to get back a lottery in Sun Ce's hands, but unfortunately, as a little overlord in Jiangdong, Sun Ce was also not a master to be messed with.

In the past few days, they have fought more than once, the most fierce battle, just before the inner city, Yan Liang was repelled by Sun Ce with only three thousand overlord iron cavalry, and after that, you have been going back and forth, and there is no difference between victory and defeat.

Even now, the soldiers and horses of his Jin Kingdom have occupied two-thirds of the territory of Jicheng, and Sun Ce only holds one-third of the city.

But in the eyes of outsiders, it was Sun Ce who captured Jicheng and Sun Ce who destroyed Yan Kingdom.

Because Sun Ce entered the city one step ahead of him.

Because Sun Ce forced Gongsun Zan to death.

"King, I'm afraid this battle can't be fought anymore!" When Tian Feng heard this, his face instantly became a little solemn, he sighed, persuaded in a low voice, and said: "If we continue to fight, this Jicheng will be abandoned, and we will retreat!" ”

"Retirement? Lonely and unwilling! Hearing this, Yuan Shao turned his head, his eyes burst out with a cold light, he looked at Tian Feng deadly, and said coldly.

It took a lot of hard work to enter the city, and he said that he would withdraw from the army, but he didn't know, and he thought it was Sun Ce, who he was afraid of, and he Yuan Benchu couldn't afford to lose this face.

"The king, the big husband can bend and stretch, Jicheng is like this, if it is consumed, it will be beaten into ruins, and there are no interests in the Jin Kingdom and the Wu Kingdom!" Tian Feng also knew that there was obviously a feeling of weakness when he retreated at this time, but this battle really couldn't be fought.

If you continue to fight, no one will be able to stop it.

"In that case, why didn't Sun Ce retreat?"

The corners of Yuan Shao's mouth outlined a sneer, and he asked coldly and arrogantly.

"King, we lost this battle. If you lose, you have to admit it, it is indeed Sun Bofu who led the troops into the city first, and I have signed the covenant, enter the city first, and get Jicheng! All eyes are on it, how can you not accept it"

Tian Feng's gaze crossed a glint. said lightly: "If Sun Ce doesn't have this strength now, it's fine, but our soldiers and horses are in a stalemate, and this alliance will naturally take effect!" ”

All covenants are based on the supremacy of great power.

The alliance between Wu and Yan was because of the weakness of Yan State, as long as Wu State got Youzhou, people in the world would not say that Wu State was shameless, but would only say that Wu State was shrewd.

But if Wu is defeated by Yan, this name of tearing up the covenant is enough to make Wu stinking for 10,000 years.

This battle. The Wu army was obviously ahead of them, and Gongsun Zhan, who had also personally packed up, had enough troops in his hands to confront him, so they had to admit this covenant that had been signed.

Obviously, you can't wait, if you don't respect the covenant, and you end up losing face, then this face will really be lost.

"But are we just giving up Jicheng like this, and we can't do it alone!" Yuan Shao also understood. If they continue to fight, they will only add more casualties. In vain.

But let him withdraw like this, he can't do it.

"Then let's talk!"

When Tian Feng heard this, he said lightly: "When it comes to the interests of the two countries, it is better to play lip service than to use knives and guns. It's good to end the battle of Youzhou, return to the dynasty, and prepare for the big battle against the Central Plains! ”

Yuan Shao, who he knew, was worried about the Central Plains, so he threw a bait at him.

"Nakahara?"

When Yuan Shao heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly. burst out with a striking sword light.

The battle of Youzhou was solved, and Gongsun Chan was also eliminated, even if Youzhou did not completely fall into his hands, he was not at ease with the north, and when the time came, he could free his hands and go south.

As long as Cao Cao is killed and the two states of Yu and Yan are taken, he is the real overlord of the northern lands and has the ability to dominate the world.

"But before that, we have to give Sun Bofu a dismount!" Tian Feng saw that Yuan Shao's heart was moved, and continued: "When it comes to the negotiation table, there are also strong and weak points, we must ask him to see the ability of the Jin Kingdom!" ”

"How?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Hit Dongcheng!"

Tian Feng said directly: "If we can take it by surprise and penetrate the East City, we still have the ability to drive Sun Ce out of the city, even if we can't take the East City, let Sun Ce be shocked!" ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Thistle, the inner city.

The Wu army entered the city relatively early, but instead gathered a lot of remnants of the Yan State, and now the entire inner city seems to be like a military town, and the soldiers and horses of the Wu State are constantly rectifying the remnants of the Yan State.

In the battle of Jicheng, Sun Ce was taken by surprise, but he did not let the soldiers and horses of the Yan State suffer too many casualties, leaving behind tens of thousands of remnants, especially the thousands of white horse servants who served as the forbidden army of the Yan State.

This is the most elite soldier.

A mansion, three steps and one post, five steps and one step, above the inner hall, Sun Ce heard the report of the scouts, turned his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Chen Gong, and asked, "Dongcheng?" ”

"Hmm!"

Chen Gong stood up, nodded, and said: "Now that the inner city has been heavily defended by us, the Jin army can't attack it, so it can only take the sword and attack Dongcheng, after all, Dongcheng is our back road, and it is reasonable for him to do this, so it can be regarded as giving us a dismount!" ”

"Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao, he is really desperate!" When Sun Ce heard this, he said coldly: "Since he wants to fight, he will accompany him to fight!" ”

"Prince!"

Chen Gong shook his head and said calmly: "This should be just a temptation by Yuan Shao, if they can't get through in Dongcheng, we should sit down and talk!" ”

"What you mean is that Yuan Shao is just testing how many catties and taels a certain family has?" Sun Ce's arrogant cold eyes exuded a thick coldness: "Are you qualified to negotiate with him?" ”

"So to speak!"

Chen Gong nodded, with a gleam flowing in his eyes, and said: "This battle, if he doesn't fight, he will never give up, so as long as we stabilize this battle and resist the hell of Dongcheng, it will be equivalent to ending the battle of Youzhou!" ”

This battle can't be fought, he knows it very well, and Yuan Shao should also know it.

Therefore, the battle of Dongcheng was just a final struggle, to see how capable Sun Ce was.

When Sun Ce heard this, a hint of a gloomy smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, he thought about it, shouted, and said, "Gao Shun!" ”

"In!"

Gao Shun stood up.

"Now a certain family orders you to immediately lead the trapping camp and rush to Dongcheng to assist General Gongsun Du to defend Dongcheng and ensure that the land of Dongcheng is not lost."

"No!"

Gao Shun received the order and immediately took the trapped camp and went to Dongcheng Resources.

――――――――――――――――――

The two armies of Wu and Jin lasted for three days in the battle of Dongcheng, and the Jin army and the Wu army suffered casualties, but the army led by Wen Chou could not advance an inch and was never able to recapture Dongcheng.

Finally, this battle ended quietly when the two sides were tired of fighting.

July, early on.

The two countries lingered over the distribution of Youzhou, the ownership of Jicheng, and the month-long negotiations that began, represented by Tian Feng and Chen Gong, who were at loggerheads and did not budge an inch. (To be continued......)
