Maybe if you are not happy that day, you will have to worry about your life. And Shu has always had a tradition of treating vassals well, and if the king votes for Shu, it is a good policy. ”
Wang Mai snorted coldly and said, "It's easy to say, where is Jiang Wei of Shu now?" You can't wait for him to wait until Xiangyang City is broken, right? ”
Xiahou Xian ignored him, and said to Zhong Hui: "King, the last general begs to go to Shu camp again, and if you don't invite reinforcements, the last general will not return." ”
Zhong Hui groaned for a while, but he really has no better way now, surrender Wu unconditionally, Zhong Hui will definitely be unhappy, but if Xiangyang is broken by Yanghu, then Zhong Hui's fate will be even more miserable, and now there are only two choices between Wu and Shu, Zhong Hui is still on the side of Shu.
Zhong Hui nodded and said, "Okay, then bother General Xiahou to run again." ”
Xiahou Xian said: "The king, with all due respect, the last general will go to Shuying this time, and he will definitely have a showdown with Jiang Wei, then the last general must know the king's final bottom line in order to bargain with Jiang Wei." ”
Xiahou Xian's request is not too much, after all, he is going to negotiate with Jiang Wei, so he must know what Zhong Hui's hole cards are, so that when he bargains with Jiang Wei, he can keep the bottom line, otherwise when Jiang Wei asks for a price, Xia Houxian will not be able to repay the money on the spot.
Zhong Hui pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, the matter has come to this, this king will give you a solid truth, you can call the ministers and sacrifice the land, but the king's military power cannot be lost, Shu Han can give a general a title at will, as long as this king can still lead this army." If Jiang Wei does not agree to this request, then give up, this king would rather die in battle in Xiangyang City, than send people under the fence and delay the words. ”
Zhong Hui has fought for so many years, and the most profound experience is that if he loses his military power, it is really useless, only by holding the military power tightly in his own hands, then he can have the right to speak, whether it is to Wu or Shu, without military power, he can only be the meat of the chopping block for others to slaughter, and his life and death are in the hands of others, which is absolutely uncomfortable.
Because of this, Zhong Hui refused Sima Yan's summons and rebelled in Xiangyang desperately, didn't Zhong Hui know the consequences of the rebellion? Of course, he knew it very well, but at that time, Zhong Hui had no choice, if he gave up his military power and went to Luoyang, then he would only tie his life and death to Sima Yan's thoughts, Sima Yan let him live, he could live, Sima Yan let him die, then he would have no way to live.
Zhong Hui, who is unwilling to let his fate be in the hands of others, can only brazenly rebel, so that he no longer needs to look up to people and look at people's faces. But the consequence of doing so is to be frantically retaliated by Sima Yan, and Zhong Hui is naturally very clear, but weighing the pros and cons, he still embarked on this road without hesitation.
Now he is now facing the same decision, no matter who surrenders to, handing over the military power is the first choice of the other party, it is difficult for any party's forces to let the subordinate courtiers have an army that does not belong to the imperial court, Wu has already taken the lead in showing his attitude, Zhong Hui can ask for surrender, but it is necessary to hand over the military power, and all the armies are under the unified command of the Eastern Wu side.
In Zhong Hui's opinion, it seemed to be a very reasonable request, but it was extremely strict, Zhong Hui could not hand over the military power and put himself in danger, so he had not agreed to Lu Kang's request for a long time.
Shu is still an unknown number, Jiang Wei and even the emperor of Shu can tolerate Zhong Hui to continue to support the army and self-respect, it is still unknown, but as the bottom line of Zhong Hui, this point must be adhered to, no matter what, Zhong Hui will not be able to put his fate in the hands of others, as long as there is military power, Zhong Hui no matter who surrenders, he still has real power, if he loses his military power, Zhong Hui would rather choose to live and die with Xiangyang than be held hostage by others.
Xiahou Xian heard Zhong Hui's request clearly, so he immediately left Xiangyang and went to Fangling to see Jiang Wei.
Due to the special geographical location of Xiangyang, surrounded by water on three sides and only by land on one side, the offensive of the Jin army was completely concentrated in the west, so that Xiahou Xian could calmly leave Xiangyang from the Han River by boat, detour to Yicheng, and go to Fangling.
Although this road is relatively far away, it is a relatively safe road, which can completely avoid the blockade of the Jin army and allow Xiahou Xian to reach the Shu camp smoothly.

After Jiang Wei successfully took the three counties of Shangyong, he did not march eastward again, not only because Du Yu of the Jin army led a group of men and horses to block the area of Shandu and tried to intercept the eastward advance of the Shu army.
Jiang Wei really didn't pay attention to Du Pre's people, if Jiang Wei made up his mind to march into Xiangyang, Du Pre would definitely not be able to stop him.
The main reason why Jiang Wei did not advance in Fangling for a long time was that Jiang Wei was waiting for an opportunity.
If you march at this moment, it is not a big problem to relieve the siege of Xiangyang, but the question is, even if Jiang Wei relieves the siege of Xiangyang, can he get more things from Zhong Hui?
Obviously, it can't, Zhong Hui nominally ceded the three empty counties of Shangyong to Shu, which is equivalent to paying the price, before the two sides reach an agreement, after Jiang Wei sent troops to relieve the siege, it is difficult to obtain any actual benefits.
So Jiang Wei did not rush to march, but waited and seeed, now that Yanghu's army has all crossed the Han River, the final siege of Zhong Hui's army, if as expected, Zhong Hui's insistence is only the end of the crossbow, if Zhong Hui is not willing to sit still, then he can only choose a way out.
There is not much room for Zhong Hui to choose, in addition to the Wu State in the south, the main one is the Shu State in the west, Jiang Wei judged that the conditions of the Wu State are too ruthless, so that Zhong Hui will be willing to try to make friends with the Shu State.
So what must be done to make the bell return?
Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes and secretly calculated that sometimes the fierce confrontation at the negotiation table would not be inferior to the real confrontation on the battlefield, and the competition here was more of a contest of wisdom.
At this time, Jiang Bin strode into the tent and said, "General, the previous Xiahou Xian is here again. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
