After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Xiahou Dun said: "Nephew, you don't have to be so polite. Your uncle and I can fight, but my strategy is not as good as Lord Jijiu. You should listen to his teachings more!"

Liu Xian said modestly, "General Yuan Rang is too modest, and the next discussion with Zhou Yu must be done by you!"

"I'm going to negotiate with Zhou Yu?" Xiahou Dun was surprised.

Liu Xian said again: "I can't hold Zhou Yu down, it's up to you!"

"Okay, okay!" Xiahou Dun nodded repeatedly.

Being able to negotiate with Zhou Yu is indeed a very honorable job.

Now Xiahou Dun felt relieved.

Of course, Liu Xian also has his own plans.

It's not that he didn't want to negotiate with Zhou Yu, but he went to steal Chaisang City while Zhou Yu was negotiating with Xiahou Dun.

That night, Cao Pi personally edited the book and sent it to Daying, Jiangdong to hand over to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief after reading the letter.

Cao Pi invited him to discuss with Xiahou Dun face to face in front of the two armies in three days.

Lu Meng excitedly said: "General Governor, this is a good opportunity!"

Zhou Yu waved his hand: "Don't try to sneak attack Xiahou Dun, Liu Xian and Cao Pi are still in Hefei City!"

Lu Meng stopped talking, and after hearing the word Liu Xian, he immediately froze.

Zhou Yu handed the letter to Lu Xun: "If you write back a letter, just say that I, Zhou Yu, arrived as scheduled, and I am very sincere!"

"Obey!" Lu Xun clasped his fists and took the letter.

Zhou Yu ordered again: "Lü Meng listen to the order!"

"The last general is here!" Lu Meng cupped his fists.

Zhou Yu said: "Take [-] soldiers and horses back and retreat into Wancheng!"

"Retreat into Wancheng?" Lu Meng was puzzled.

At this time, the Jiangdong camp had no more than [-] to [-] soldiers and horses.

If 3 soldiers and horses are taken away, there will only be more than [-] soldiers and horses left.

On the other hand, in Hefei City, with the arrival of Xiahou Dun, the number of soldiers and horses is close to [-].

The situation of the two armies has long been reversed.

From the enemy weak we are strong to the enemy we are equal.

If we retreat again, it means that the enemy is strong and we are weak.

Chapter 274 The two armies negotiated before the battle, Zhou Yu's two hearts

Seeing Lu Meng's confusion, Zhou Yu said bluntly, "I, Jiangdong, have no chance of attacking Hefei. You retreat to Wancheng and return to Moling City someday, so as to put the hearts of the army and the people at ease!"

"Obey!" Lu Meng cupped his fists and understood what Zhou Yu meant.

Negotiations belong to negotiations, regardless of whether they can be negotiated or not,

Zhou Yu will not bet all chips on Hefei.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yu's reply letter was sent to Hefei City.

Cao Pi took the letter and immediately went to see Liu Xian.

"Master, Zhou Yu's camp has negotiated in front of the two armies!"

"The event has been accomplished!" Liu Xian nodded with a smile.

Cao Pi said: "Master, I have been thinking hard for the past few days, and I probably guessed your plan!"

"Oh?" Liu Xian was surprised, and said to Cao Pi, "Then tell me!"

Cao Pi said: "Sun Quan was captured, and Jiangdong has kept it a secret. You want to use Sun Quan to open the gate of Chaisang City!"

"That's right, children can be taught!" Liu Xian nodded in satisfaction.

Although Sun Quan was captured alive, Jiang Dong didn't know about it.

Cao Jun can pretend to be the Jiangdong Army and pretend to escort Sun Quan.

As long as Chaisang City is opened, the city will be destroyed.

Cao Pi asked again: "Master, who are you going to take?"

Liu Xian said: "I am going to take Zhao Yun and Xu Chu to lead five thousand troops to join Wenpin at Sanjiangkou!"

"5000 people?" Cao Pi was shocked: "Where is General Zhang Liao? Don't you take him?"

Liu Xian smiled: "If there are too many troops, it will attract the attention of the Jiangdong Army. 5000 people are just right! As for Zhang Liao, he is more suitable to stay in Hefei City!"

"Understood!" Cao Pi nodded: "Then when are you leaving? Do you have any instructions for me?"

Liu Xian said: "Let's go at three o'clock tonight, tell me? Just a word, don't fall for Zhou Yu's tricks!"

Cao Pi asked: "How can we not fall into his tricks?"

Liu Xian patted Cao Pi on the shoulder: "Jiangdong Army likes three things the most, feigning illness, feigning surrender, and feigning death!"

Cao Pi nodded: "Master, you understand Jiangdong Army!"

"Haha!" Liu Xian laughed: "As long as you don't get greedy for success, you won't fall for Zhou Yu's tricks. As for negotiating, you can drag Zhou Yu at will!"

"I wrote it down!" Cao Pi nodded heavily.

In the middle of the night, the city gate of Hefei opened quietly.

Liu Xian took Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Sun Quan and [-] troops out of Hefei and headed for Sanjiangkou by detour.

As for the Jiangdong army camp, Lu Meng also retreated to Wancheng overnight with [-] soldiers and horses.

The routes taken by the two armies do not interfere with each other.

In the early morning of the third day, Zhou Yu and Xiahou Dun dispatched their own troops and set up pavilions in the formation of the two armies to meet each other.

Xiahou Dun was accompanied by Jiang Gan, and Zhou Yu was accompanied by Lu Su.

The four gathered around the table together.

Zhou Yu poured wine for Xiahou Dun himself.

"Hahaha!" Xia Houdun laughed loudly: "Gongjin Jiangdong is also an outstanding person, pour wine for me today?"

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "General Yuan Rang, although Mr. Cao has made countless achievements in the southern and northern wars, this glass of wine is a toast to you!"

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!" Xia Houdun raised his glass and drank it down.

The two sides put down their wine glasses, and Zhou Yu got straight to the point.

"Dare to ask General Yuan Rang, how can the prime minister release my lord?"

Xiahou Dun asked Zhou Yu, "Can Gong Jin be the master of Jiangdong?"

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Yuan Rang can be the master of the prime minister, so naturally I, Zhou Yu, can be the master of Jiangdong!"

"Okay!" Xiahou Dun said: "Jiangdong returns Chaisang City and Wan City, and compensates for all losses in this battle, and the two will become allies again."

Zhou Yu's face darkened instantly.

Chaisang City is Jiangdong's throat, and he took it all out of Wenpin's hands.

Now Xiahoudun will return the two cities as soon as he opens his mouth, and he will also compensate Cao for his losses.

This is not bullying, it is clearly insulting.

But Zhou Yu had an extraordinary bearing, with a smirk still on his face: "Are there any other conditions?"

Xiahou Dun turned to look at Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan immediately said: "My Master Jijiu said, please Gongjin send Sun Shao to Xudu as a hostage, if you don't want to, you can cede Moling City!"

"Boom!" Zhou Yu slapped the table with a slap, "Liu Xian is too deceitful!"

"Let's not talk!" Hearing this, Xiahou Dun got up and wanted to leave.

"General Yuan Rang stay!" Zhou Yu hurriedly got up and chased after Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun turned around: "Gong Jin has no intention of negotiating peace, so I will leave naturally!"

Zhou Yu said: "I am sincere, and Yuan Rang's general can agree to any conditions!"

Xiahou Dun said: "Then what about the conditions proposed by my Lord Jijiu?"

Zhou Yu smiled wryly: "It's too harsh, I still need to report to the old lady before making a decision!"

Xiahoudun said: "Then I will return to Feicheng to wait for your news!"

"Okay!" Zhou Yu nodded, watching Xiahou Dun withdraw his troops and leave.

Later, he also led the Jiangdong Army back to the camp.

Then the generals were summoned to discuss the matter.

Dong Xi was the first to speak: "Grand Governor, this Liu Xian is too deceitful!"

Zhu Ran said: "Grand Governor, I don't think Liu Xian has any intention of talking about it!"

Zhou Yu looked at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun cupped his hands: "Commander, my opinion is just the opposite!"

"Oh?" Zhou Yu was surprised.

Lu Xun continued: "The negotiation between the two armies is like a business negotiation. Cao Jun's big mouth just shows that they want to borrow money from the lord. On the contrary, if their conditions are too simple, it will be suspicious!"

"Well said!" Zhou Yu nodded in satisfaction.

Lu Xun agreed with him.

I'm not afraid that the enemy's lion will open its mouth, but I'm afraid that the enemy has other plans.

Dong Xi spoke again: "Great Governor, our army fought bloody battles to recapture Chaisang City and captured Wan City. Are you really going to give it to Cao Cao now?"

The rest of the generals also looked at Zhou Yu.

As the governor of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu naturally understood what the generals in the army thought.

"I will never give away the city that my brothers sacrificed their lives for!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals felt at ease.

Zhou Yu said to Lu Xun again: "Bo Yan wrote a letter and told the old lady Cao Jun's conditions one by one, and let her make a decision!"

"Obey!" Lu Xun clasped his fists in signal.

Zhou Yu waved his hand and immediately dismissed the generals.

But he left behind his sons Zhou Xun and Sun Shao.

Sun Shao drooped his head and said nothing, looking not very happy.

Zhou Yu patted Sun Shao on the shoulder: "Is Shao'er afraid that the old lady will use you as a pawn in exchange for your second uncle?"

Sun Shao didn't speak, and his complexion became darker.

Zhou Yu shook his head and patted him on the shoulder vigorously: "Don't worry, Uncle, I promise you with my life that I will never let you go to Xudu as a hostage!"

"Really?" Sun Shao raised his head, looking at Zhou Yu with a gleam in his eyes.

"It's absolutely true!" Zhou Yu nodded, and then said, "Go to rest early!"

"Yes!" The two of them clasped their hands together, and they also withdrew from the Chinese army tent.

Back in Sun Shao's big tent, Zhou Xun said, "Brother, don't you understand what my father means?"

Sun Shao was puzzled: "Do you understand what your father means?"

Zhou Xun smiled: "My father said, if the city is not let go, if the hostages are not handed over, peace talks will naturally fail! Then there is only one road to Jiangdong!"

"What do you mean?" Sun Shao suddenly felt his heart surge.

"That's right!" Zhou Xun nodded: "My father wants to make you the new owner of Jiangdong!"

"Haha!" Sun Shao laughed, and suddenly felt the light in front of him.
