Li Qi had already acquired the three places of Spring Valley, Wuhu, and Yuhu, and also occupied the largest granary along the south coast of the Yangtze River. When Sun Quan in Xuancheng heard about it, he felt extremely unbalanced.

In addition, Sun Quan also considered that if Li Qi occupied the three cities, if Li Qi went south to attack Jiangdong in the future, the Yangtze River natural moat that he relied on would no longer exist. This was a matter of life and death, so he called his ministers to discuss how to recover the three cities.

city.

After all, the Jiangdong soldiers also played a role in repelling Cao Wei, so the issue of dividing the spoils cannot be ambiguous.

Zhang Zhaodao: "Chungu, Wuhu, and Yuhu are all under the jurisdiction of Danyang County. In the original alliance agreement, Danyang County was transferred to us. Therefore, I think that we should ask Li Qi to give up the three cities and we will give money and food."

It is natural to repay him. Marquis Wu can send an envoy with enough money, food and silk to pay homage to Li Qi."

"Yeah." Sun Quan nodded slightly. Zhang Zhao's statement was feasible in theory, but he knew Li Qi and it seemed that it was not easy to reason with him. If you reason with him, it might even become more crooked. So he asked

Said: "What if Li Qi refuses to agree?"

Zhang Zhaodao: "It can be said that it is in terms of profit and loss. Although places such as Spring Valley are located in the key areas of the Yangtze River, the front line of the three cities is too long and has no connection with Li Qi's original territory. It is in an isolated situation. And if Cao Wei happens again

In a large-scale march south, these three cities are the first to be attacked, and Li Qi's navy cannot be used for much purpose, so what is the benefit to Li Qi from occupying these three cities?"

Sun Quan then followed Zhang Zhao's advice and sent Bu Zhao as an envoy to Spring Valley with money, grain, and silk.

Before Bu Zhi arrived in Spring Valley, Li Qi had already moved to Wuhu.

Wuhu is located in the middle of the three cities. Li Qi planned to deploy heavy troops here to suppress Sun Quan, and he would personally lead his army across the river to capture the Lujiang River.

After the Lujiang River is established, the west can be connected to Luchun and Jiangxia; the south can be connected to Poyang and Yuzhang, thereby getting rid of the isolation of the three cities.

As for the generals who stayed in Wuhu, Li Qi had already thought about it.

The east and north of Wuhu are alluvial plains with depressions and a few hills. The terrain is low and flat, and there is room for cavalry. For Jiangdong soldiers, cavalry is basically a dimensionality reduction attack. Kuang Sunquan has a shadow on Zhang Liao

, if Zhang Liao is stationed in Wuhu as a general, he will definitely be able to intimidate the heroes in Jiangdong. At the same time, it will also avoid the embarrassment of making Zhang Liao and Cao Wei enemies.

When issuing this resolution, Li Qi held Zhang Liao's hand, which was about to take the token, with both hands and said: "The affairs of Jiangdong will be entrusted to Wenyuan."

When Zhang Liao first arrived, he immediately accepted this important task and said: "Liao is deeply grateful for his kindness and vows to repay it with his own life."

In the following time, Li Qi ordered his sergeants to rest and recuperate until Gan Ning could cross the river with his warship.

It can be said that Gan Ning fought from the head of the Yangtze River (Bajun Linjiang) to the end of the Yangtze River (Wuhu). In the past, when he was stationed in Jiangling, he often practiced naval warfare. Therefore, the water battle across the river relied on Gan Ning.

At the same time, Li Qi ordered Guan Yu to go north from Yuzhang County to threaten the west of Lujiang County, thus containing Jiang Ji.

During the deployment, Bu Zhao arrived carrying money, food and silk.

Li Qi warmly received Bu Zhi and said with a smile: "Look, you came as soon as you came, and you brought so many things. Is it to thank us for repelling Cao's army?"

"Ah?" Bu Zhao's brain reacted very quickly, and he immediately realized that there was something wrong with Li Qi's words.

According to Sun Quan's instructions, these properties are indeed to thank Li Qi for repelling Cao's army, but the prerequisite is to take back the three cities of Spring Valley, Wuhu, and Yuhu.

But according to Li Qi, as long as he repelled Cao Jun, he could well deserve to accept these properties. And it was true that he repelled Cao Jun, but his words did not mention the three cities.

Therefore, after sorting out his thoughts, Bu Zhi said: "Marquis Wu's small gift is naturally to thank Li Yizhou for taking back Spring Valley and other three cities for us."

Li Qi understood that this guy was here to collect the debt.

Li Qi was not in a hurry to object at the moment, but said to Bu Zhi: "It is rare for Zishan Gong to come, and Qi must hold a banquet to show his respect. Qi immediately sent someone to invite the two generals Xu Sheng and Zhu Huan

, Zishan can also express his feelings for colleagues during the banquet."

This seems reasonable and reasonable, and Bu Zhi has no reason to object.

The most important thing is that Bu Zhi really can't think of any disadvantage that Xu Sheng and Zhu Huan's presence will have on his quest for the three cities including Chungu.

He, Li Qi, can't hold a Hongmen banquet and cut off the three of himself, can he?

Not to mention that Bu Zhi and the other three were not very important to the officials in Jiangdong. If Li Qizhen did such an unjust thing, his reputation would be ruined.

At dusk, Xu Sheng and Zhu Huancai led their personal guards here.

During the dinner, Bu Zhao formally mentioned the matter of taking back the three cities including Spring Valley. Xu Sheng and Zhu Huan looked at each other with uneasiness.

Li Qi slowly put down the wine bottle and said: "The two generals Xu and Zhu and I fought fiercely with Cao's army outside Spring Valley City for a long time, and we agreed that whoever gets the city will own it. Wen Xiang, Xiu Mu is here.

, Mr. Zishang can ask in person."

Xu Sheng and Zhu Huan lowered their heads silently, not daring to look directly at Bu Zhi.

Bu Zhi sighed secretly. Although he did not know the whole story of the agreement between the two parties, looking at the expressions of Xu and Zhu, it was not easy to get back Spring Valley, so he put the matter aside for the time being and asked: "Wuhu,

It’s time for Yuhu and the two places to be returned to us, right?”

Peng Qi, who was attending the banquet, said angrily: "Wuhu is a city that the general and his soldiers fought to the death to capture from Cao's army. You just want to go there with just one sentence?"

Bu Zhi said seriously: "Li Yizhou should still remember the treaty agreed at the time of the alliance, right? Danyang County belongs to the Marquis of Wu, how can he not abide by the agreement?"

Pang Tong smiled and said: "Zishan may have misunderstood the covenant. Danyang County was indeed assigned to Wuhou, but Wuhou did not hold the city under Danyang County and was taken away by Cao Wei. It belongs to Cao Wei. We are independent from

How can the land captured by Cao Wei be regarded as the land of the Marquis of Wu?"

Bu Zhao was stunned. According to Li Qi's explanation, although Li Qi and Jiangdong took turns capturing Chungu, according to their agreement with Generals Xu and Zhu, it seems that Chungu cannot be taken back; and now Wuhu is even more vulnerable.

Li Qi captured it independently, and there is no reason to take it back.

Bu Zhi now needs to figure out all of Li Qi's logic and arrangements before he can bring the news back to Xuancheng for Sun Quan to make a decision.

Therefore, the last thing Bu Zhi wants to know is, what about Yu Hu?

"Yuhu has always been our territory, right?"

"That's right. At the beginning, Yu Hu was in danger due to the covetousness of Cao Wei, so I sent people to assist Jiangdong generals in their defense. During this period of time, my soldiers have shed their blood for Yu Hu, so in view of this relationship

I'd like to ask Wu Hou to temporarily lend it to the lake so that I can take it back to Lujiang."

Bu Zhao: "..."

I don’t want to give you any love!

Bu Zhi said: "Whether I want to borrow from the lake or not, I need to inform the Marquis of Wu before making a decision. I think it is of no benefit to Li Yizhou to occupy three cities."
