Chapter 342 Negotiations

According to Fazheng's original plan, Sun Quan sent someone to seek peace, and then Liu Bei gave the conditions. However, this time Jiangdong's performance was a little tougher, which made Fazheng's calculations somewhat wrong. However, there was no big difference for Fazheng. Sun Quan must have already understood what Liu Bei meant. The current problem is how to make both parties reconcile decently.

"Hmph!" The general who came to pick up Fazheng at Chaisang Port and went to see Lu Su looked at Fazheng coldly, and stretched out his hand casually: "Sir, please follow me."

That expression and tone were very unpleasant. Fa Zheng suddenly stopped leaving, stood silently at the port, looking at the surrounding scenery calmly. To be honest, there is really a difference between the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the lower reaches.

"What does this mean by sir?" the general frowned and looked at Fa Zheng, and asked in a suppressed anger.

"What do you mean?" Fa Zheng glanced at the general and said, "This is what he thought. This time, the person who was on the mission was my lord. If you and I have not yet broken the alliance, they have already tore their faces apart. What he represents is my lord, a prince, and a place where both states are also herding. You started from picking me up on the boat. Not only did you speak coldly, but your posture was very unfair, haha~"

With a chuckling, Fa Zheng looked up and down at the general: "Could this be the way to entertain guests in Jiangdong?"

"I treat guests in Jiangdong naturally treat them with courtesy, but you are invading the borders of Jiangdong for no reason. They are evil guests. When the villain comes, I have not yet lit a sword, but it is my Jiangdong etiquette!" The general snorted coldly.

"Where did this start?" Fa Zheng looked at the other party with confusion: "When will our army invade you the border of Jiangdong?"

"This..." The general was speechless for a moment. In terms of eloquence, Fa Zheng was afraid of who he had come. Besides, what he said was right. We were stationed troops in Xiakou and Xiajun, but that was our own territory. Has he violated your inch of land? Why did he violate the border?

"Then how are you going?" the general said in anger.

"I don't wait for anything, but I just can't feel the sincerity of Lord Wu, and I'm afraid I'll be unwilling to my Lord's entrusted." Fa Zheng sighed, looked at the rolling Yangtze River, and said with a tragic look on his face: "Why would you jump into the river and die, so as not to make people laugh in this world."

After saying that, he was really going to jump into the river. Although the general was quite dissatisfied with the people on Liu Bei's side, if Fa Zheng really jumped to death in front of him, he would not be able to bear the responsibility, and the two families might go directly to war.

He hurried forward, hugged Fazheng, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, forgive me for your sins. I hope you don't care about it!"

Generally speaking, it is common sense for scholars to meet soldiers, but when they are not reasonable and cannot explain them, the generals can only silently swallow their bitter fruits when they meet a character like Fa Zheng.

"Lead the way!" Fa Zheng pushed away the general with some disgust, patted the dust that did not exist on his body, tidied up his clothes, and then said to the general. He looked like that, he was not as tempted as he had before.

"..." After a moment, the general bowed and said, "Sir, please."

Fa Zheng no longer spoke and mocked him. He just admired the scenery of Jiangdong all the way. While following the general, he slowly went to the Chaisang Camp. He did not see Sun Quan. Sitting behind the Shuai Case, a middle-aged scholar with a sick face. When he saw Fa Zheng coming, he smiled and nodded and said, "I have heard of Mr. Xiaozhi for a long time. I saw him today. It turns out to be extraordinary."

"Mr. Zijing is also admirable." Fa Zheng looked at Lu Su's haggard face and smiled: "It's just that the teacher seems to be feeling uncomfortable, why do you still want him to come and take charge of the overall situation?"

Lu Su raised his eyebrows and looked at the young man who showed his sharpness. Although Fa Zheng said it lightly, this sentence was a bit sarcastic to Jiangdong Wuren.

Shaking his head, Lu Su smiled and said, "My lord has many outstanding people, but most of them are busy with official duties, and they are receiving the sir..."

Just find the worst one to receive you.

"Mr. Zijing's words are serious, but that's true. Although Mr. Wu is the governor of Jiangdong, he is still sick. Master Wu asked Mr. to treat me. Could it be that he felt that he had been crowned as the king and was above my master?"

Find the worst one to receive me? Sun Quan, are you floating around? You don’t really think that you can surpass my lord with the title of King Wu, right?

Lu Su looked at Fa Zheng, suddenly smiled, shook his head and said, "Today's Xiaozhi reminds me of Kong Ming when he came to Jiangdong, and he was as sharp as Xiaozhi."

During the Battle of Red Cliff, Zhuge Liang's play of fighting against scholars was a rare wonderful move by Liu Bei.

"Zhengde is shallow, how dare you compare with a military advisor?" Fa Zheng saw that Lu Su let go of his temptation, and he no longer was aggressive, but smiled slightly at Lu Su.

"Xiaozhi, I don't know what I did when I came here this time?" Lu Su looked at Fa Zheng and asked with a smile.

"Mr. Zijing doesn't know?" Fa Zheng looked at Lu Su and asked.

"Su is stupid, I'm really not very clear." Lu Su shook his head and said.

"It seems that Mr. Zijing is not valued by Master Wu, so I cannot tell Mr. Zijing about this matter. Please ask Mr. Zijing to understand Master Wu. Zheng is here to be a key task. Even if Master Wu does not want to see me, please invite a highly respected man!" Fa Zheng leaned back and said in disappointment.

Lu Su: "..."

What is this guy doing when he talks about the thorny thing since he came in? He really wants to kill people!

Lu Su shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Xiaozhi, Su naturally cannot represent the King of Wu with full authority, but Mr. Xiaozhi may not represent the emperor's uncle completely, right?"

Fa Zheng looked at Lu Su. After the two looked at each other for a moment, they suddenly smiled. Fa Zheng sat down and said, "My Lord is quite worried about the fact that Master Wu accepts the title of King Cao's title. He is here this time and wants to know whether Master Wu accepts the title of King Cao's title this time, which means that Master Wu forms an alliance with Master Cao's title and wants to tear up the alliance between you and me?"

"Where does Xiaozhi start?" Lu Su shook his head and said, "My lord was granted the title of King of Wu, which was the emperor's imperial edict. How could the emperor think that he wanted to tear up the covenant? The emperor is the common ruler of the world, and the emperor is also a relative of the Han family. Could it be that the emperor does not want our lord to obey the emperor's will?"

"That's not!" Fa Zheng looked at Lu Su, shook his head and said, "But now Cao's bandits take the emperor and order the princes. The so-called emperor's decree, if it were not for Cao's instructions, how could it be issued? The Lord accepted this decree, wouldn't it be that Cao's thief received the reward?"

"Sir, Su dare not agree with this!" Lu Su shook his head and said, "Justice said, Your Majesty was persecuted by the thief Cao. However, if my lord does not accept it, he will not respect the emperor. If God does not take it, he will suffer the consequences. It is not the emperor's will. But if Cao's thief attacks me Jiangdong again in the name of the emperor, what should I do if I Jiangdong?"

"You and my family are allies. If the thief Cao comes to attack Jiangdong, our lord will not sit idly by." Fa Zheng said naturally.

"But have Kojima thought about it..."

The conversation between Lu Su and Fa Zheng from morning to evening.

The two of them never mentioned the incident of Liu Bei's garrison on the border, but they only started arguing about the issue of Sun Quan's title of king. However, Fa Zheng did not mention Lu Meng's sneak attack on Jingzhou. It was not a pleasant past. It was the same for both sides. It was the best to mention the feelings and it was the best to rot in the stomach.

Basically, Fa Zheng and Lu Su did not want the two sides to start a fight, but their demands were different. Jiangdong could not take over Jingzhou and needed to open up another development space. Liu Bei needed to be king. Logically speaking, the two families took their own needs, but this is not the case.

First of all, Liu Bei was required to win the support of Jiangdong. If Jiangdong wanted to obtain a larger depth space, he also needed Liu Bei's help. After all, even if Sun Quan wanted to attack the Jianghuai land, if Liu Bei had no help to restrain him, Sun Quan would really be unable to fight against Cao's army alone.

Of course, for the first time, both sides did not really have to come to a result, and Lu Su did not say that he wanted to attack Jianghuai, but hoped that Liu Bei could return Jiangxia.

There is no need to ask Liu Bei, Fa Zheng directly rejected this. Jiangxia's position is too important. If there is no Jiangxia, Jiangdong's troops attacked quietly and then another sneak attack. What can we block it? The last time I succeeded by luck, but it does not mean that I can still block it next time. This is really undiscussed. Fa Zheng also knew that this was definitely not Jiangdong's final request. If Jiangxia really had to be asked, it would be impossible to talk about it.

However, in the first negotiation, both parties had to make the final decision. For more, it was better to test the other party's tone. Among smart people, many words do not need to be too thorough. If you click it, it is good. If you can't understand, it means that the other party is not suitable for this job. Sun Quan or Liu Bei should change people as soon as possible.

In this invisible contest in the first round, Lu Su and Fa Zheng were basically able to determine the other party's ability and the attitudes of Liu Bei and Sun Quan towards this matter. The next question was to report their respective lords. If they came to negotiate next time, they would really start negotiating for interests with the sincerity of both parties.

"How many days will Xiaozhi not stay?" After the negotiations, Lu Su sent Fa Zheng out with the help of his family. Before leaving, he smiled at Fa Zheng: "This Jiangdong is different from Shu. Xiaozhi can stay for a few more days."

"No." Fa Zheng looked at Lu Su's hunched body, hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Zijing's body..."

Although they are hostile, Lu Su is really a person who is hard to hate. Looking at Lu Su's appearance, Fa Zheng said a little unbearable.

"It's been a long time, it's not a problem." Lu Su said with a smile.

"Then Zheng will say goodbye first." Fa Zheng bowed to Lu Su and said.

"A good life escort Xiaozhi." Lu Su looked at the general and said.

"Here!"

At the invitation of the general, Fazhi boarded the boat and drove out quickly.

Lu Su silently watched Fa Zheng's ship shadow disappear from his sight, shook his head bitterly and said, "Liu Bei's command is indeed full of outstanding talents."
