The Three Kingdoms

"His Sun Zhongmou is so brave!"

Liu Biao's eyes widened, the eyeballs were like copper bells, and there seemed to be a red flame flickering under the eyes, and he said in a cold voice: "Xiazhi and Jin Chun are the cities of Chu State, and they are alone as the capital of Chu State. Wang, how could he cede the land as an apology, if he wants the city of Chu, he will exchange his life for it!"

"Your Majesty!"

Kuai Liang stood quietly in front of Liu Biao, his face was very calm, and he said lightly: "Sun Zhongmou has already offered the conditions, if the state of Chu does not agree, the state of Wu will be very angry. Sun Jian is a fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze River. No, if this tone cannot be dissipated, even if the state of Wu is unwilling to mobilize troops, it will recklessly start a war with our state of Chu because of the problem of face. Now in the north of the state of Chu, the state of Wei is already eyeing us. Wu Guo intervened, and the soldiers pointed directly at Xiangyang, and there may even be a sign that the two countries will attack Chu, Chu will be in danger, and this danger cannot be taken!"

It's not that Kuai Liang doesn't know that ceding the land will make the Chu State lose face, but now there is no way out. If it is only the area of ​​the two cities, it is acceptable to exchange for the Chu State's stability for a few years.

The state of Chu is different from the state of Wu. Now Chu's foreign worries are nothing, and internal troubles are the most important. There are still many chaos in Guiyang Lingling, and the barbarians are also making chaos. The most important thing is that within Wu, there are two A prince who listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, if he cannot solve Liu Bei and Huang Zu, Chu State will not have the strength to fight Wu State at all.

Xiazhi and Jinchun are border towns, not big cities, with a combined population of only tens of thousands.

If these two border towns can be exchanged for the pacification of Wu State and three years of recuperation time, it would not be impossible for Chu State Chaotang to deal with Liu Bei and recover Jiangxia.

And at this critical moment, none of the aristocratic families in the Chu State wanted to go to war with the Wu State. The Kuai family was unwilling, and the Cai family was also unwilling.

"Are you going to cede land to Wu Guo alone as an apology?" Liu Biao's face was gloomy and cold when he heard this, and he looked at Kuai Liang with murderous intent.

"My lord, the state of Chu needs time to stabilize the court!" Kuai Liang's face remained unchanged, and he didn't answer directly, but his words were already very clear. In the present state of Chu, there is no other way to calm down Wu other than to separate the two cities. The wrath of the country.

"Hmph, when the war comes, isn't Sun Zhongmou afraid that he will look at his head alone to sacrifice to the Chu army?" Liu Biao gritted his teeth, and the cold killing intent seemed to burst out from the gap between his teeth.

"This kid is very good!"

Kuai Liang pondered for a while, narrowed his eyes, and a helpless light flashed across. He also asked Sun Quan this question.Sun Quan's answer was: "If someone dies, he should be buried with him in Xiangyang City!"

If it is said by other people, he can take it as a big talk, but if Sun Zhongmou said it, he has to be cautious. He can't afford to bet on the hundreds of thousands of people in Xiangyang.

"My lord, there will be a battle between us and Wu, and we will get back what we lost sooner or later!"

Kuai Liang looked at Liu Biao's gloomy and uncertain face, and added softly, "Although Jiangxia County is part of the state of Chu, it has been suspended outside. Within the acceptable range!"

Liu Biao remained silent, his face was gloomy and uncertain, even a little ferocious, and finally he became helpless.

……

Chu State finally compromised, or had to compromise.

After Liu Biao turned pale, gritted his teeth, and smashed more than twenty vases in a frenzy, he reluctantly signed his name on the alliance letter and stamped it with the great seal of Chu.

In exchange for two cities, there was three years of peace between Wu and Chu.

In the second year of the Warring States Period, on March [-]st, Wu and Chu officially formed an alliance. The time frame of the alliance was within the next three years. In China, we can't afford to fight, and we can trade with each other...

Satisfied, Sun Quan returned to the state of Wu under Liu Biao's gritted eyes.

————————————————————————

In the second year of the Warring States Period, March.

In the spring season, the drizzle is like a dream, and the scenery of the Jiangdong land is very beautiful, misty and full of artistic conception, which makes people feel like they are in the world of poetry and painting.

Under this beautiful scenery, Li Nie's mood was violent and terrifying.

Li Nie wore a blue robe, and after being severely reprimanded by Sun Jian, he walked out of the palace holding an oiled paper umbrella with a somewhat gloomy expression, and then boarded a sedan chair, all the way back to the Jinyiwei General Yamen.

"Great Governor!"

"Meet the Chief Commander!"

The guards in brocade clothes in the yamen watched Li Nie walk in with a cold face that made people tremble, and each of them quickly became serious, and after greeting them, they did not dare to speak at all.

"Don't!"

Li Nie walked into the lobby and called Mo Cong directly. He was the number one officer in Jin Yiwei and the governor, and Mo Cong was the second in command.

"Great Governor!"

Ever since Sun Quan was attacked in Jingzhou, the atmosphere in the Jinyiwei General Yamen has become gloomy and tense. Seeing Li Nie's expression, Mo Cong probably was reprimanded by the king, which made him a little uneasy.

The Jinyiwei has an inescapable responsibility for what happened in Jingzhou, Qianhu Luo Ming is the leader of the Jinyiwei recommended by him, and he can't escape the responsibility for such a big incident.

"Is Luo Ming your man?" Li Nie asked coldly.

"Ok!"

Mo Cong lowered his head, didn't deny this point, and didn't shirk it, as the boss, if he doesn't even have this responsibility, he is not worthy of being in Jinyiwei. If his own person is wrong, he will bear it.

"Don't talk about dereliction of duty, just ask me, will he have any problems?" Li Nie squinted and said coldly. As the governor of Jinyiwei, he was no less suspicious than Cao Cao, holding doubts about everything.

Sun Quan encountered an attack in Xiangyang, and Jin Yiwei had no news at all. He had to suspect that there was a ghost in his home.

"Great Governor!"

Mo Cong's complexion changed slightly, and he said hastily: "Luo Ming may have neglected his duty, but I believe that he will never betray Jin Yiwei or Wu Guo. He was chosen by a certain hand. His loyalty , something can be guaranteed."

"Commander Modu, it's not that someone is careless, but that someone has to be cautious!" Li Nie put his hands behind his back, his eyes were as calm as water, and said: "You know how much impact this matter has on Jin Yiwei. First, the memorial to impeach my Jin Yiwei can pile up a mountain of bells, so Luo Ming must investigate, but since he belongs to you, I will let you come on a mission. If there is no problem, demote half a level and let him go to Yan Kingdom Bar."

"promise!"

Mo Cong let out a long sigh of relief, and Li Nie still gave him face by letting him investigate Luo Ming himself. As long as Luo Ming has no problems, the matter will be considered closed.

"Liu Bei, what do you think?"

Li Nie squinted, his gaze was cold and gloomy, and asked suddenly.

"The dark night has always been the domain of the Jinyiwei. If someone wants to fight against the enemy, he has to pay a price. We Jinyiwei never suffer. Since they can make a move, so can we!"

Hearing this, Mo Cong stood up, his eyes flickered with venom, his face became stern, and he said coldly: "We must fight an eye for an eye!"

"Okay, take out all the dossiers that belong to Liu Bei!"

Li Nie pondered for a while, and a strange arc was drawn at the corner of his mouth. That cold smile made Mo Cong, the ashes of Jinyiwei, a senior veteran, feel a little cold.

"promise!"

Mo Cong nodded, and quickly directed a few officials of Jinyiwei to take out the files recording Liu Bei from the file storage room, and put them in front of Li Nie.

Sitting on the desk, Li Nie looked carefully at the records on it. While reading, he murmured: "Liu Bei, although he claims to be the clan of the Han Dynasty, he started from the commoner, and has been Walking through the dangers again and again, the vigilance is very high, assassinating him, the danger is too high, the chance of success is small, it is not worthwhile!"

"Guan Yu, this man is under Liu Bei's command, the number one military general, he is not easy to deal with!"

"Zhang Fei..."

There was a gloomy light in Li Nie's eyes, and he said: "Whether it succeeds or not, we must do something to him. Since he has taken action against the prince, he will have to pay the price."

"This man is so good at martial arts, it's difficult for ordinary people to deal with!" Mo Cong heard this, his face was a little dignified.
