The Three Kingdoms

"Zhong Qing, talk to Gu about how you feel about this negotiation?"

Cao Cao thought about it.Then asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, in this negotiation, I feel that they seem to be more impatient than us!"

Zhong Yao bowed his hands to Cao Cao, and then reported in detail: "As a negotiating envoy, Sun Kuang is indeed young and energetic. But as a negotiating envoy, Hong Zi, this person is very old-fashioned, and he has a certain degree of advance and retreat. , it doesn’t seem like a negotiation failure!”

"This is a bit strange!"

Cao Cao sneered, his eyes flickering coldly: "From what I know about Sun Zhongmou, he doesn't seem like a person who won't fight back when he suffers!"

Sun Zhongmou, he has studied it more than once. Since the ambush in the East China Sea, he has watched this boy for many years.

This is definitely not a person who knocks out teeth and swallows blood.

"Report!"

At this time, outside the main hall, a loud voice sounded: "Report to the king, Zang Ba, the guard general of Langye County, hurry up and report at eight hundred li!"

"Submit it immediately!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he quickly drank.

"promise!"

This messenger was a bit travel-stained and his battle armor was stained with bad marks. He strode in hastily, raised the memorandum above his head with both hands, and said: "General Zang Ba's scout battalion captain, Chen Bing, has written the memorandum by the general himself. !"

Cao Ang took a step forward, personally took the memorial from the messenger, and respectfully handed it to his father, Cao Cao.

"What? In just one day, all the thirteen cities in Langye County fell?"

Cao Cao took the battle report, and spread it out in front of the officials. After a closer look, his face was ashen, and his eyes burst into anger. He couldn't help standing up, and slammed the memorial on the ground: " Waste is a bunch of useless things, what use are you alone!"

All the ministers were shocked when they heard the words, and knelt down one after another. Xun Yu quickly picked up the memorial book that Cao Cao threw on the ground, looked at it carefully, and then couldn't help but read it word by word. come out.

"On the night of March 31, at midnight, two fleets of the Wu Army Navy landed in Langye County. The two divisions guarding Donghai County suddenly went north. Nearly [-] elite soldiers attacked from the north and the south. The chief general He Qi took the lead and drove straight in. At this time, Juxian, Kaiyang, Dong'an, Yangdu, Dongguan, the county magistrates of five counties rebelled, and the county soldiers from all over the country turned against each other... The last general was incompetent and retreated steadily. The battle lasted for a day, and [-] soldiers were lost in the battle. Next, the last general can only lead his troops, withdraw from Langye County, return to Taishan County, and station in Fenggao...The last general is not good at guarding Langya County, please punish the king, Zhendong General Zang Ba writes a letter!"

This is an apology, and the pleading is General Zang Ba who is guarding Langye.

Since Zang Ba returned to Wei State, he has been relied on by Cao Cao, leading tens of thousands of troops, guarding Langye, and guarding against Wu State. In these years, he has also fought many battles with Xu Shengpanzhang and others, advancing and retreating slowly, but he did not expect to be defeated this time. He Qi of Wu Guodonghai Daying was caught off guard, less than a day.Langye was already lost.

"In just one day, Wu Jun was able to capture Langye? It's such a terrifying speed, this He Qi cannot be underestimated!"

"Wu Guo, what does this mean?"

"A decisive battle?"

"Then why were you negotiating and giving us [-] shi of food and grass?"

"..."

Some people in the hall couldn't help shouting out.

They never thought of it.At this time, the Wu Kingdom has seized Langye County forcefully, and the friction in the north has just subsided. Are the two countries going to fight again?

Peeping at each other's faces, they all looked a little ugly.No one wants to go to war with Wu Guo at this time, after all, Wei Guo is not ready yet.

"Sun Zhongmou, it turns out that you are plotting against Gu's Langye County. No wonder he wanted to end the negotiation in such a hurry before, and waited for the dust to settle before giving Gu Fange a blow. It really is Sun Zhongmou who can't suffer at all!"

Cao Cao clenched his fists tightly, and punched the desk, screaming with gritted teeth.

He understood.

After negotiations.Wu Jun was taking down Langye, so even if he wanted to turn his back on him, he probably couldn't find a reason to turn his back.

"Your Majesty, we have just issued an order to let go of Yi County in the north. It is still too late to take back the order!" A minister stood up and said, "The Wu Kingdom has turned its back on its promise. We don't need to be polite to him. We will directly pick up [-] soldiers. Return to Langya !"

"Hmph, that's right!"

Cao Cao snorted coldly, and gritted his teeth in anger.He said: "Tens of thousands of his soldiers are still in Gu's hands. Since he has given Gu Lai a hand behind the oriole, Gu will give him a back-and-forth!"

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible!"

Xun Yu hurriedly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Now that the peace agreement between the two countries has been signed, Wu's [-] shi of grain has also entered Shouchun City. If we turn our back on our promise, it will make the world laugh, and it will really trigger two National battle!"

"Fight and fight, why should I be afraid of him, Sun Zhongmou!"

Cao Cao said furiously: "At this juncture, he dared to take Gu Zhilangxie, didn't he just want to force Gu to fight him?"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!" Zhong Yao, Xun You and other ministers stood up and advised.

Xun You looked at Cao Cao, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the loss of Langxie is unexpected and reasonable. Wei Guo's establishment of a navy will inevitably touch the bottom line of Wu Guo. The sea area is still the foundation of Wu Guo. How could he do it?" Let us successfully form the navy and win Langya, so they can better monitor Qingzhou!"

"Did Gu just lose Langye County for nothing?"

Cao Cao gritted his teeth.

"Father, it is our own incompetence that lost Langya!"

Cao Ang stood up at this time, cupped his hands and said, "It took only one day for Wu Guo to get Langya, so quickly, it is obvious that we have been preparing for a long time, and we didn't even notice in Langya, there are thirteen counties in Langya. The five county magistrates turned against the water, and this will allow them to succeed. Why should we settle accounts with them? Now that He Qi has settled down in Langya, both sides are on alert. There are 10,000+ soldiers in the East China Sea Camp. Our fight back to Langya is just a protracted battle, the gains outweigh the losses!"

"Zang Ba!"

There was a cold look in Cao Cao's eyes. He had always given Zang Ba important responsibilities, but he didn't expect that Zang Ba would be so useless at this juncture: "What a Zang Xuangao, he disappointed Gu so much!"

"My lord, at this point, we may only have to take a step back!"

Xun Yu frowned into a word, and said in a low voice: "With the loss of Langye County, and with King Wu's character, how can the State of Wu spit it out? The increase in troops is just to expand the battle."

"But I can't be reconciled!"

Cao Cao held back his anger, and said in a low voice: "It's hard for Gu to gain the upper hand, but Sun Zhongmou is so hard-pressed to calm him down, Gu is not reconciled!"

"Your Majesty, Langye and Guanzhong are more important, you should understand!" Xun Yu stepped forward and whispered in his ear.

"Guanzhong?"

Cao Cao was startled, and quickly calmed down.

That's right, the most important thing right now is not Langye, but Guanzhong.

The plan is imminent, but Jizhou is unstable. If the entanglement with Langye continues, Wu Guo can argue with him, but he will definitely delay the time.

"Sun Zhongmou is really a calculating one. The one hundred thousand shi of grain he gave to Gu seems to be to buy Gu's Langya!"

Cao Cao sighed, Sun Quan had already calculated the matter so well, he would definitely not give him an opportunity.

It would be difficult for him not to accept this loss abruptly.
