Chapter 2071 Division of Jingzhou

"King of Wu, this time I am following the order to suppress the thieves, so I will naturally obey the saint's instructions on Jingzhou."

Zhuge Liang opened his mouth to help Liu Bei answered that the three kings' alliance to wipe out Lu Bu was actually due to the initial imperial edict to summon the vassal states to serve the king.

"You can't say that. Jiangdong's efforts are sincere enough this time. If you want to wait for the sage, it's better to ask for the sage first, and we will join the war when the sage comes!"

Bu Zhi spoke behind Sun Quan, and they could hear Zhuge Liang's words of refusal. No one wanted to be fooled. Jiangdong had to get something to participate in this battle.

"Oh, what are you saying? The war is about to break out. Where can I wait for the sage? "

Cao Cao spoke.

"King of Wei, now King Liu Cong of Xiangyang has been defeated by Lu Bu and lost Xiangyang City. Jingzhou is now considered a masterless thing. It is worse than the King of Wei to ask for an order to divide the counties of Jingzhou into the fiefs of King Wu."

Bu Zhi bowed to Cao Cao.

"The division of prefectures and counties is the matter of the emperor, how could the King of Wei say too much!"

Wang Lang glared at Bu Zhi and scolded, "He is a counselor, so he should speak at this time."

"This is Doctor Wang. Since it is an emperor's business, can I write a letter now? As for the war, let's delay it first!"

Bu Zhi glanced at Wang Lang. Wang Lang was the prefect of Kuaiji in the early days. Sun Ce defeated Wang Lang when he conquered Jiangdong. Wang Lang fled to the Central Plains and finally followed Cao Cao.

"It is certainly possible to write a letter, but if you don't care about the war, I think the King of Wei should withdraw his troops to Hefei!"

Wang Lang said coldly, if Jiangdong wants to avoid the war, it will return to a state of confrontation across the river.

Wang Lang's words changed the faces of Jiangdong. This was a naked threat. If Cao Cao led his troops to Hefei, the problem would be much more serious than last time. This time, it would be nearly 100,000 troops, which seriously threatened Jiangdong.

"Doctor Wang, what do you mean? Threat the orphan?"

Sun Quan slapped the short table in front of him and said.

"Your Highness of the King of Wu, I am just explaining the situation. Wang Lang is a counselor. He praises the minister and sarcastically sarcastically. I just want to tell the King of Wu that since he received the imperial edict, please obey it!"

Wang Lang was not afraid of Sun Quan at all. As long as what he said was reasonable, he would not give in even when facing the emperor.

"I have already said that Jiangdong will naturally have to gain something when participating in the war. This is not my own business, but also the affairs of thousands of people in Jiangdong. Even if I agree, it will be difficult to hide the long mouth of Jiangdong."

Seeing that Wang Lang had been blocking him, Sun Quan changed his opinion. This time he used the entire Jiangdong to suppress Wang Lang. Doctor Yi could give advice without any scruples, but this was of no use to the king level and to the common people.

"The King of Wu said something. Jiangdong sent troops to Jingzhou, but he wanted to give Jiangdong an explanation. But after thinking about it, should I give an explanation to the people of the Central Plains? After all, I also led a large army to Jingzhou."

Cao Cao said with a smile.

"What do you think Xuande?"

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and asked, preparing to throw this trouble to Liu Bei.

"Brother Meng De, King Wu, it is a serious crime to privately divide Jingzhou!"

Liu Bei was silent for a while and said, although they were kings, there was also emperor Liu Xie above, and some things could not be exceeded.

"What's wrong with this? The three of us discussed and wrote a letter together. I believe Your Majesty will not have any objections."

Sun Quan said that it was unruly to divide Jingzhou privately, but as long as the three of them finished discussing, the emperor would not say anything. After all, Liu Xie is just a puppet now.

"I wonder what the King of Wu wants?"

When Liu Bei saw that he could not let go, he asked, "This matter always needs to be discussed."

"The seven counties of Jingzhou, Nanyang, Nanjun, Jiangxia, Wuling, Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling. Now Nanyang County and the northern part of Nanjun are all under Lu Bu. The remaining ones are only half of the five counties. It is not too much to divide two counties to give me Jiangdong."

Sun Quan looked at Liu Bei and said.

"Two counties?"

Liu Bei pondered but did not reply to Sun Quan.

"I wonder which two counties the King of Wu wants?"

After a while, Liu Bei spoke.

"Jiangxia County and Changsha County, I heard that Changsha County is still in the hands of Han Xuan, just give me Jiangdong Jiangxia County and Changsha County I personally go to capture it."

Sun Quan spoke.

"Jiangxia County is now in the hands of the King of Wei. Isn't it a bit too much for you to do this?"

Cheng Yu frowned and said, no matter how Jingzhou divides Jiangxia County, he cannot let go.

"Since you want to divide Jingzhou, Your Highness the King of Wei naturally needs to have a share. Jiangxia County and Nan County are good. It is better to give these places to the King of Wei. Your Highness the King of Wei can help you deal with Lu Bu."

Cheng Yu looked at Sun Quan and Liu Bei and said.

"Is it too early to discuss this matter now? Why not wait until after defeating Lu Bu, take down the entire Jingzhou before dividing it."

Liu Bei spoke.

"I wonder what the division method is said by the King of Chu?"

Cheng Yu looked at Liu Bei and asked.

"Both of you want Jiangxia County, it is better to divide Jiangxia County into two, and the southern part of Jiangxia County and Changsha County will be the King of Wu. The King of Wei can get the northern part of Jiangxia County, Xiangyang and Nanyang!"

Liu Bei said the remarks he had thought of long ago.

"Xiangyang and Nanyang have not yet been settled, so let's talk about division?"

Cheng Yu frowned and looked at Liu Bei. Liu Bei lost nothing in this division. All he had divided was Liu Cong's territory and the territory occupied by Lu Bu.

"Aren't we going to have a big battle? I think we will win this battle, and at least we can drive Lu Bu back to Nanyang. At that time, the King of Wei belongs to Xiangyang and Xiakou. If we take advantage of the victory, it will not be a problem to conquer Nanyang."

Liu Bei said with a smile. He believed that Cao Cao could not refute this. After all, the war was imminent and no one would say bad things.

"This is a bit interesting, but I got too little?"

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and asked at Liu Bei.

"Why not do this, give me Jiangling City again."

Cao Cao offered his own conditions, and Jiangling City should be his, but Cai Mao and others were defeated and Xiang Chong defected to Liu Bei.

"The King of Wei and everyone in Jiangling City all voted for me. I wish I could not agree."

Liu Bei directly refused. Jiangling City is one of the three major cities in Jingzhou. Now Xiangyang is in the hands of Lu Bu and Xiakou is in the hands of Cao Cao. He only has one Jiangling City. With this city, he can control the central part of Nanjun.

"If I don't give it, it's not appropriate. I have too little land."

Cao Cao shook his head and said.

"King of Chu, King Wei sent troops to Jingzhou, just a Jiangling City, why should I be so persistent?"

Sun Quan also advised that the more chaotic Jingzhou is, the more happy he will be. Cao Cao will be able to suppress Liu Bei if he occupy Jiangling.

"I'm afraid there is no discussion about this matter. Liu Bei was entrusted by the Jiangling people and really did not dare to let down the Jiangling people!"

Liu Bei still refused sternly.

"I'm afraid there is no need to talk about this. If this battle is defeated, what's the point of my participation in this battle?"

Cao Cao said coldly, if Liu Bei did not release any interests, he would not be able to continue to negotiate.

"King of Wei, why not wait for Xiangyang to take it down and I will ced out Shangyong, Fangling and Xincheng."
