Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

The center of the battle between the armies of the two sides, when Liu Bei agreed to negotiate, was quickly emptied of an area of ​​[-] meters, which was used as a temporary negotiating place.

Wei Yan didn't bring many people with him, only Huang Xu and a few others accompanied him, and Liu Bei didn't bring many people with him, only Chen Dao, Zhuge Liang and a dozen others.

The four people from both sides sat down, Wei Yan took the lead and said: "This is Zhuge Liang, right? Mr. Cai Mao's matter was probably also done by Mr. Feng Chu, who is said to be as famous as Feng Chu, how could he do such a dirty trick?"

Wei Yan's words seemed innocent, as if he was complaining and despising Zhuge Liang, but in fact it had a lot of meaning.

Zhuge Liang was very clear about who Pang Tong was serving for. Seeing Wei Yan mentioning Cai Mao and Pang Tong, he paused for a moment before reacting.

Zhuge Liang said indifferently: "Liang acts in an eclectic manner, unlike Pang Tong who competes for fame and fortune, who deliberately came to vote for the emperor's uncle, who is actually paralyzed and wants to make a big deal."

Wei Yan smiled and said: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a good minister chooses a master to serve. Only by seeing the overall situation can great things be achieved. Going against the sky blindly will only harm others and yourself. What Mr. Pang did is the right choice." .”

Zhuge Liang's eyes lit up, and he waved his feather fan lightly and said, "It's not speculative, let's talk about business."

When the two talked, Liu Bei didn't see anything, thinking it was just an ordinary exchange, but only Zhuge Liang could understand the real intention.

The meaning in Wei Yan's words is to ask Zhuge Liang to proceed from the overall situation and avoid a war breaking out in Jingzhou, causing people to suffer.

As for the specific meaning, with Zhuge Liang's mind, it is not difficult to guess, it is nothing more than wanting him to help rescue Cai Mao.

Zhuge Liang interrupted suddenly, but also to convey a message. He understood that he needed to think, and told Wei Yan not to say more, so as not to reveal his flaws.

It has been a taboo since ancient times to surrender to the enemy and sell the enemy. Even if the name is left in history, it will inevitably be sprayed with bruises. Zhuge Liang does not want to bear permanent infamy.

Just when Zhuge Liang was struggling, the negotiation between Liu Bei and Wei Yan also started.

"General Wei, my uncle's condition is very simple, you only need to leave the city, and Cai Mao will be sent to your army."

"Uncle Liu, Emperor, our Lord is determined to win Jingzhou. Even if we are going to retreat this time, next time, next time, there will be no way out."

"Hahaha, look at today's events today, and worry about tomorrow's events tomorrow. Since my uncle has chosen a path to the end, will he care about these things?"

Liu Bei's answer left Wei Yan with no choice but to say helplessly: "It's fine to leave the city, let Cai Mao go first, otherwise who knows if you will go back on your word."

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Withdraw the troops before releasing them, otherwise there is no need to continue the discussion."

"You..." The feeling of being eaten to death is very uncomfortable, Wei Yan's face is full of anger, and he looks at Liu Bei.

Seeing that the negotiation was about to break down, Zhuge Liang said at this time: "Uncle Emperor, General Wei, rather than not giving in an inch here, it is better to choose the right way."

"General Wei led his troops to withdraw to the west gate, and the emperor sent someone to protect Cai Mao to hand over the city defense. Wouldn't it be better to fight for quality here?"

Zhuge Liang's method is very fair. Since Wei Yan has just agreed to withdraw his troops, this method can reduce his worries.

And for Liu Bei, it was acceptable. Retreating to the west gate would be like repeating most of last night's battle. Even if Wei Yan received Cai Hao and wanted to counterattack, his winning rate would not be as high as it is now.

"Okay, Mr. Zhuge, finally let's be open and aboveboard, I hope it's not some trick."

"General Wei, even if Liang wants to play tricks, do you have a better way?"

When Zhuge Liang backed it up, Wei Yan couldn't say a word, his face was erratic, obviously unable to guess his intention.

Seeing that Wei Yan agreed, Liu Bei thought for a while, and agreed. After all, if the stalemate continues, who knows if there will be any changes.

"Yes, sir, it coincides with Bei, General Wei, time is running out, let's make arrangements."

"Hmph!" As soon as they sang together, Wei Yan felt even more upset, and left with a cold snort.

As soon as Wei Yan left, Liu Bei immediately asked Zhuge Liang if there was any second plan, but Zhuge Liang pretended to be secret, threatened that the secret would not be revealed, and handed Chen Dao a kit for him to open and read before leaving.

Zhuge Liang acted like this all the time, and Liu Bei didn't have any doubts, he just urged Chen to prepare quickly.

Chen Dao got the kit and was urged by Liu Bei, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect, and immediately organized the army to prepare for action.

After a while of busy work, the army was on standby to store their hair. Chen Dao opened the bag of kits according to the instructions, and saw his expression suddenly changed.

The kit Zhuge Liang handed over to him contained two choices. One was to surrender to Li Jun while exchanging Cai Mao, make great contributions, and open a new chapter in his future life.

The second is to obey Liu Bei's order, take over Ximen, and use pre-selected elite dead men to preemptively drive them out of the city before Wei Yan makes any move.

For the two choices, Zhuge Liang obviously paid more attention to the first one, and Chen Dao could also see from the handwriting that it was obvious how to make a choice.

Chen Dao came from a low background, and since ancient times it was difficult to get ahead from a poor family. He is very aware of this, and he is very grateful to be able to be reused by Liu Bei.

Chapter 777

But it's obviously not worth it if you want to be grateful for your life. Chen Dao is still young, he has his own ideals, and he doesn't want to die like this.

Choosing the second one, Chen Dao knew that it was a slow death, there would be no second possibility at all, the only way to get ahead was to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Chen Dao stayed in place for a long time, but in the end he didn't make any changes, and directly led the army to set off.

With the arrival of Chen Dao and his army, the eyes of both sides were completely set on Ximen. Chen Dao and Cai Mao, who were once not well-known, also became the people who attracted the attention of thousands of troops.

When Chen arrived at the west gate, he was not in a hurry to take over the city defense, but had someone notify Wei Yan that he had something to discuss.

When Wei Yan learned that Chen Dao wanted to see him, he was overjoyed and thought that Zhuge Liang had accomplished something, so he hurried to meet him.

"Da da da..." Wei Yan walked quickly, and when he saw Chen Da, he smiled and said: "General Chen abandoned the dark and turned to the bright, this general will definitely write down a lot in the credit book, and he will be favored by the general in the future, don't forget I will be painstaking."

Seeing that Wei Yan guessed his purpose, Chen Dao knew even more in his heart that Zhuge Liang might have already voted for Li Huiyi, otherwise Wei Yan would not have guessed.

Zhuge Liang has voted, so does Liu Bei have any wise men available, such as Chen Deng, who is seriously ill and bedridden?

Thinking of Chen Deng, Chen Dao's face became even more ugly. Chen Deng could be said to have worked hard for Liu Bei and tried every means to make him gain a firm foothold in Jingzhou.

But when Chen Deng suddenly fell ill, Liu Bei tried his best to find a doctor for him at first, but after a long time, nothing worked, and Liu Bei gradually became indifferent.

Ever since Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, Liu Bei has completely forgotten Chen Deng in his mind, never mentioning it, and he didn't even meet the army before they set off.

Chen Deng, who used to be the left and right arm, has ended up like this, Chen can imagine that one day he will lose his function, and the end will definitely not be much better.

Chen Dao was even more determined in his heart, and said slowly: "General Wei, the general intends to surrender, but you have to agree to one thing."

If Chen Dao surrendered, then the battle situation in Nanyang can be said to have been settled, let alone one condition, ten, Wei Yan would agree.

"What is it, General Chen can rest assured that the general will definitely agree."

"Save Liu Bei's life."

Hearing that Chen Dao actually made such a request, Wei Yan couldn't believe it for a moment. After all, a person who is about to surrender would still care about the life and death of the old master.

Chen Dao made such a request, which made Wei Yan extremely admired, and agreed without hesitation. Liu Bei's prestige would be greatly reduced after losing Nanyang, and he was no longer a threat. It would be better to let Chen Dao feel at ease and give up.

Chen Dao suddenly led his troops to surrender. Liu Bei, who was waiting for the news, learned that he was completely dark at that time, without saying a word.

He personally promoted Chen Dao. Liu Bei thought he would not be mistaken, but he didn't expect the fact that he was so slapped in the face.
