Chapter 146 Peace Ambassador Lu Zijing
If Lu Su wanted to see Sun Quan, he had to pass through Li Qi's defense zone.
Will Ma Chao, who is stationed at Haihun, let him pass?
Therefore, if Lu Su wanted to meet Sun Quan, he had to meet Li Qi first. After obtaining Li Qi's consent, he could use the road to Xinfan to meet Sun Quan.
Li Qi was as polite as ever to Lu Su, the peace ambassador.
This time he was invited to drink Pu'er tea from Yizhou County - Li Qi had already renamed the big-leaf tea "Pu'er", which sounded more refined and elegant, and did not give people the "rough and heavy" feeling like "Daye".
After lightly tasting the fragrance of the tea, Li Qi asked: "Why is Zijing here?"
Lu Su said: "I came here especially to help the two families get back together."
Li Qi sighed: "It's not that I don't want to make peace with Jiangdong, it's really... Zijing, look at it: At the time of Red Cliff, the Sun and Liu families only formed an alliance to fight against Cao Cao. As soon as Cao's army retreated, Wu Hou ordered Zhou Dudu to attack Jiangxia; later
When I was in Yizhou, I specially sent Mr. Kong Ming to form an alliance with the Marquis of Wu. This time it was even more outrageous. As soon as the war started, the lord of your family immediately betrayed the alliance. Can the Marquis of Wu still believe it if Zijing has a honest word?"
Lu Su said: "The former attacked Jiangxia not to break up with Liu Bei, but to avenge his father. When Li Yizhou entered Shu, wasn't he also to avenge his father? Marquis Wu should feel the same hatred for his parents."
Li Qidao: "The person who killed Sun Jian was Huang Zu. Huang Zu is dead, and the great revenge must be avenged. This is not a legitimate reason."
Lu Su said: "Liu Bei lives in Jiangxia and is weak. If Jiangdong is not taken, Cao Cao will take it sooner or later. It is better to let Jiangdong take it."
After speaking, Lu Su stood up, pointed at the map and said to Li Qi: "If Jiangdong takes Jiangxia County, when the time is right, we can start all the way from Jiangxia and march towards Xudu; we can start all the way from Lujiang and head towards Hehe."
Fei; Li Yizhou can also divide his troops into two groups, one starting from Hanzhong to attack Chang'an, and the other starting from Jiangling to attack Nanyang County. How can Cao Cao be immortal? If Jiangdong does not take advantage of the situation to take Jiangxia, causing Liu Bei to be destroyed by Cao Cao, how can we
Isn’t there a breakthrough missing?”
Li Qixin said that Lu Su was worthy of being Lu Su, and he could say that he was so righteous in stabbing his allies in the back.
Lu Su sat on the ground and said: "Li Yizhou should understand that I have always advocated that the Sun and Li families unite to fight against Cao Cao. In fact, the Sun family in Jiangdong has never taken the initiative to use troops against Li Yizhou's territory."
Li Qi: "???"
Nima, is it because I am making trouble?
Pang Tong said: "When the five armies attacked Cao Cao, Marquis Wu was the first to betray the alliance, which resulted in the defeat of the coalition forces attacking Cao Cao. How dare you say that we will fight against Cao Cao together? Do you know how much loss Marquis Wu did to my family?"
"
Pang Tong had heard that Lu Su was now eager to seek peace, and Li Qi had no intention of going deep into the hinterland of Jiangdong alone.
It was originally something that hit it off, but this trip couldn't be in vain.
Therefore, Pang Tong mentioned losses.
The implication is that if you ask for peace, you must show sincerity. The more the merrier, such as ceding land and paying compensation.
Lu Su said: "Would you like to hear Li Yizhou's wishes?"
Li Qidao: "I captured Yuzhou County with real swords and real spears. From now on, Yuzhou County will belong to me. This battle has cost countless grains and money. Please ask Wu Hou to pay 100,000 dendrobiums of grain, 10,000 catties of gold and silver, and I will
I will ensure that Wu Hou returns to Wu County safely."
Lu Su almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
But now is not the time to bargain with Li Qi. The most important thing for Lu Su now is to see Sun Quan.
Lu Su said: "What Li Yizhou said cannot be made by Su. Rong Su will report it to the Marquis of Wu in the Ming Dynasty, and we will make a reply after discussing it together."
Therefore, Li Qi first asked Lu Su to meet with Cheng Pu, Sun Bi, and Buzhi to express his sincerity in making peace, and then let Lu Su go westward.
Lu Su rushed directly to Xinfan, and after seeing Sun Quan, he cried and worshiped on the ground: "The Marquis of Wu is trapped here, and it is all the fault of his subordinates."
Sun Quan helped Lu Su up and asked, "Why did Zijing come here?"
Lu Su brought family and military affairs together, and said that Wu Guotai was not safe in his dormitory. He only hoped that Wu Hou could return home safely.
Sun Quan was a filial son and regarded Wu Guotai as his biological mother.
Hearing that the country was troubled, Sun Quan wished he could teleport and immediately appeared in front of his mother to pay his respects.
After the greetings were completed, Lu Su said: "Su has discussed with Zibu and others. The only solution for now is to make peace with Li Qi."
Sun Quan said: "Zijing came from Yuzhang County. He must have known the terms of Li Qi's peace."
Lu Su then told Li Qi's requests one by one.
Sun Quan's face turned red as he listened, and he said angrily: "The traitor has bullied me too much! I swear that we will never share the sun and the moon with him."
Lu Su said: "Marquis Wu, please calm down. Who doesn't just sit down and raise the price, then make a counter-offer on the spot? It's not like he just does what he says."
Zhou Tai came out and said: "Although our army is trapped in Xinfan, we still have 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers. Together with Qi's 10,000 sergeants, there is a total of 78,000 people. Why do we need to make peace with Li Qi?"
Lu Su said: "Youping's words are wrong. Although our army is not small in number, we are short of food and grass. There are Ganning in the west, Samoko with 20,000 to 30,000 people, and Li Qi with more than 30,000 people in the east. After a bloody battle,
, the ones fighting are all Jiangdong’s veterans. And in Su’s opinion, it is precisely because we still have 80,000 or 90,000 soldiers here that we have the opportunity to make peace with Li Qi. If we suffer another defeat, there will be no room for maneuver."
Ling Cao said: "Humph, where did Zijing's courage go when he persuaded the Marquis of Wu to resist Cao Cao's 830,000-strong army? Why did he increase the enemy's prestige and destroy our army's momentum today?"
Lu Su said: "This moment, that moment. Although Cao's army is large, but not accustomed to water warfare, we can still resist the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Now the main force in the east of the Yangtze River is trapped here. If Li Qi continues to send his troops north to attack Zhou Yu with Liu Bei, then
Jiangdong is in danger."
In fact, Sun Quan also wanted to withdraw his army, but the conditions offered by Li Qi were too bullying. If he didn't show some temper, he would become a weakling that everyone could pinch from now on.
While he was hesitating, an urgent military report suddenly came from Luling County: "Report to the Marquis of Wu, Shi Xie's son Shi Hui led an army of fifty thousand to Longchuan."
Longchuan is the jurisdiction of Nanhai County and belongs to Jiaozhou.
But at the same time, Longchuan is very close to Luling County.
Only now did Sun Quan know what despair meant.
Lu Su said: "The matter has come to this, Wu Hou has no choice. If the Yizhou army is not retreated in time, the Jiaozhou army will definitely take the opportunity to cause chaos."
Sun Quan said: "But the conditions offered by Li Qi are too excessive."
Lu Su said: "Li Qi is not without sincerity. I see that he treats General Cheng, Grand Administrator Sun and Bu Zishan well."
Of these three people, one is a veteran of three dynasties, one is a cousin, and the third can barely be considered an uncle (Bu Lianshi's clan uncle).
What else could Sun Quan do? He was helpless.
Lu Su said: "Wu Hou, please tell me the peace terms you want, and Su will go and talk to Li Qi."
