The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

He told Sun Jing beside him some of his demands.

Then ask Sun Jing to negotiate with Liu Zheng on his behalf.

Not long after, Sun Jing arrived in front of Liu Zheng's camp.

But Liu Zheng had never been in contact with Sun Jing after all.So when I saw Sun Jing for the first time, I didn't know that he was Sun Jian's younger brother.

It was only when Sun Jing reported her family name that she was Sun Jing that Liu Zheng remembered that this person was Sun Jing who assisted Sun Ce in history and achieved dominance in Jiangdong.

To say that Sun Jing's achievements in Soochow are not insignificant.

From the beginning of Sun Jian's uprising, it was Sun Jing who gathered in Fuchun Township, and the children of five or six hundred clans followed Sun Jian to have the first part of Sun Jian's soldiers and horses.

Later, when Sun Ce ruled Jiangdong, it was also Sun Jing who secretly assisted Sun Ce to help Sun Ce gradually control Jiangdong.

Sun Ce's grandson, Sun Jing's master, also established the position of the Sun family in Jiangdong.

Now that Sun Jing came to negotiate with Liu Zheng on behalf of Sun Jian, it was not considered a humiliation.

"Shuai Qu, I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of my second brother Sun Jian. We can agree to your persuasion to surrender, but there are a few conditions that I hope you can consider. If you can agree to our conditions and let us surrender, it may not be impossible."

Sun Jing came to Liu Zheng's camp, straight to the point, and the first sentence got straight to the point.

Originally, Liu Zheng wanted to have a few polite words with Sun Jing, but he didn't expect him to be so direct, and it was hard to continue talking, so he responded directly.

"If you have any conditions, just ask if I can agree, of course I won't refuse, but if all you put forward are some unreasonable demands, then forgive me for being powerless."

Although Liu Zheng didn't know what Sun Jian's request was, but Sun Jian's intention to surrender had already surprised Liu Zheng, so Liu Zheng had already made up his mind at this moment, as long as Sun Jian's request was not particularly unsatisfactory for him.He should agree to other requests.

Sun Jing hesitated for a moment, but still bowed her hand, and then began to tell Liu Zheng what Sun Jian had conveyed to him before.

"The first thing is to let us surrender, but first of all, you must ensure our safety!"

"Of course there is no problem with this. I want you to surrender, not to kill you, but to give you a fortune because of your strength."

Sun Jing was very satisfied with Liu Zheng's answer.After Liu Zheng agreed, he continued.

"The second article I want you to assure us that our family in Fuchun is not in danger of life, and after we surrender to you, return our family to us."

After Sun Jing finished her second request, Liu Zheng also nodded.Did not refuse.

"This request is reasonable. No problem. I can agree to you. Not only can I assure you that your family members in Fuchun are safe and sound, but at the same time, I can reuse you regardless of previous suspicions."

Liu Zheng agreed again, and Sun Jing finally showed a gleam of joy at this time, but at first he was still a little worried, worried that Liu Zheng would not agree to their request, but now it seems that Liu Zheng is still very talkative.

"The third request is also the last one. Even if we surrender to you, we will not help you deal with Liu Yao, the prefect."

This request was actually only added by Sun Jian later, because Yan Baihu wanted him to return to Kuaiji City to deal with Liu Yao.

In any case, there was some friendship between Sun Jian and Liu Yao. Sun Jian was able to return to Fuchun and recruit so many soldiers and horses, which had a lot to do with Liu Yao's assistance.He had already turned his back on Liu Yao in order to return to help Fuchun. If he went back to deal with Liu Yao regardless of his face, then he would really be an ungrateful person.

That's why Sun Jian added such a request.

Regarding this point, Liu Zheng didn't really care much. Anyway, he had to deal with Liu Yao, and it didn't matter whether he had Sun Jian's help or not.

"This is not a problem, as long as you can surrender, I don't expect you to deal with Liu Yao."

Liu Zheng quickly agreed to the three requests made by Sun Jing. Seeing that Liu Zheng was so forthright, Sun Jing finally showed joy at this moment, and immediately responded to Liu Zheng.

"Great, since Qu Shuai can agree to our request, I'll go back and report to my second brother, and prepare to surrender."

Sun Jing proposed to leave, but Liu Zheng waved his hand to stop it.

"Don't rush away. Since you have made several requests, I also have several requests. I want you to take them back and tell Sun Jian. If he can agree to my requests, then he can really agree to your surrender."

Sun Jing, who was still a little happy just now, immediately changed her face when she heard Liu Zheng's words.

However, he remained calm, and after a moment of hesitation, he immediately asked Liu Zheng.

"any request?"

"It's very simple. First, since you are going to surrender to me, in order to prove your loyalty, after you surrender, my people will take over your subordinates. Second, I will move your whole family to Jiaozhou, of course. It will not restrict your freedom, but my territory is not in Yangzhou, and Yangzhou will become the main battlefield in the future. It is not appropriate for you to stay here. Third, although I will not let you deal with Liu Yao, sooner or later I will still If you want to fight other people, then you must obey my instructions."

Liu Zheng also told Sun Jing his request in one breath.

After Sun Jing listened, the expression on his face changed slightly, but he didn't express his opinion. He needed to go back and ask Sun Jian about these matters before he could reply to Liu Zheng.

"Okay, I've made a note. I'll go back and ask my second brother for instructions. After my second brother makes up his mind, I'll come to bother Qu Shuai again."

"Please."

Liu Zheng was also very polite. After making a gesture of please, he asked Sun Jing to leave.

As soon as Sun Jing left, Gan Ning, Su Fei and others surrounded him.

"My lord, can Sun Jian really agree to our request?"

These points raised by Liu Zheng are very harsh. Gan Ning, Su Fei and others don't think that Sun Jian will agree to such a request.

But Liu Zheng didn't rush, and smiled lightly.

"Don't worry, since Sun Jian wants to surrender and has sent his third younger brother Sun Jing to negotiate with me, he has already decided in his heart to surrender. Our request is not too much, and he can agree to it. "

Liu Zheng believed that Sun Jian would surrender, and was not worried that Sun Jian would refuse.

Chapter 355

Sun Jing returned to Sun Jian's camp.

Sun Jian and a group of generals were waiting here. When they saw Sun Jing coming back, they all looked at Sun Jing eagerly, wanting to know the result of Sun Jing's past this time.

Before Sun Jing could speak, Sun Jian couldn't wait to ask Sun Jing first.

"Third brother, how are you doing?"

"Second brother, then Liu Zheng agreed."

Sun Jing didn't talk nonsense, and answered directly.

After hearing Sun Jing's words and knowing that Liu Zheng agreed to his request, Sun Jian's tense expression also revealed a smile at this moment, and the previous tension was finally relieved a lot.

"It's good to promise, at least our group of brothers will not die here."

But Sun Jing quickly changed the subject.

"But Liu Zheng also made a few requests."

Suddenly, Sun Jing's words made Sun Jian's face change again. At the same time, the faces of Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zu Mao and others around him also darkened, and they all looked at Sun Jing, waiting for Sun Jing. go on.

"any request?"

Sun Jian asked immediately.

Sun Jing began to recount the requirements that Liu Zheng had said to him before, here in detail.

After finishing speaking, everyone was silent one after another.

No one spoke for a while, and everyone seemed to be thinking about the meaning of Liu Zheng's words.

In fact, Liu Zheng's three requirements are too much, and they are too much, and they are not too much.

What is too much is that Liu Zheng directly deprived Sun Jian of the authority to rule more than [-] soldiers and horses under his command, which is equivalent to directly emptying Sun Jian.Moreover, sending all Sun Jian's family members to Jiaozhou is tantamount to house arrest in disguise.Although he said that he would not restrict freedom, when he arrived in Jiaozhou, Liu Zheng had the final say on freedom and so on.

"My lord, we can't agree to Liu Zheng, that guy just wants to recruit our troops!"

Cheng Pu was the first to stand up and oppose Sun Jian's surrender, because he had already seen that once he surrendered, not only would he not be able to control his own life and death, but even the soldiers under his hands might be cheaper than Liu Zheng.

At this time, after Cheng Pu stood up and said something, Han Dang also hurriedly stood up to object.

"That's right, my lord, Liu Zheng's demands are somewhat malicious. If we surrender, we may fall into his trap."

All of a sudden, the generals below started discussing one by one.

But Sun Jian himself remained silent all this time, his eyes were gloomy and cold, staring straight ahead, as if he was thinking.

Sun Jing stood by Sun Jian's side and didn't speak. He knew that what he said at this time was useless. It was up to Sun Jian to make up his own mind. After Sun Jian figured it out, he just had to carry out what Sun Jian wanted , regardless of whether Sun Jian intends to surrender or not.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, everyone had said the same thing. Seeing that Sun Jian hadn't spoken, Cheng Pu, an old retainer, finally couldn't help himself anymore, and got up and asked Sun Jian.

"My lord, it's up to you to decide whether to surrender or fight to the death."

"Aren't you going to surrender?"

After Cheng Pu asked, Sun Jian finally recovered from his thoughts, glanced left and right, and then asked Cheng Pu and the others.

"These demands made by Liu Zheng are too deceitful. If we surrender, we may have no way to survive. Instead of doing this, we might as well fight to the death!"

Cheng Pu and others didn't have a good impression of Liu Zheng. This was mainly due to their hostile status. They automatically put Liu Zheng on the side of the bad guys, and they hated Liu Zheng.

But Sun Jian shook his head.

Slowly speak to the crowd.

"My opinion is different from yours. It is precisely because of Liu Zheng's conditions that I attach more importance to the matter of surrender."

Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others were taken aback when they heard Sun Jian's words. Everyone didn't understand what Sun Jian was thinking. For a while, their eyes fell on Sun Jian again, waiting for Sun Jian to explain.

"My lord, why do you say that?"

"You only saw that Liu Zheng wants to disintegrate my power, but it is precisely because of this that he can really guarantee my safety. Although the family members will be sent to Jiaozhou, it can also show that Liu Zheng does not intend to harm them. , at least not for the time being. As for the fact that he wants more than ten thousand of our men."

"Don't we agree that these tens of thousands of soldiers will survive? If they insist on breaking through, the casualties will be even greater. When Liu Zheng surrounds and persuades them to surrender, most of them will still choose to surrender. Instead of doing this, it is better to surrender. , at least now I can be sure that Liu Zheng really wants us to surrender and use it for him."

"As long as we show sincerity, we can get him to treat us kindly."

As soon as Sun Jian's words were spoken, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others were immediately silenced.

They were silent because what Sun Jian said was indeed somewhat reasonable.

"My lord, since you have already made your decision, we won't say more, and everything will be according to your decision, lord."

Cheng Pu and the others naturally had nothing to say, they just had their own opinions, if Sun Jian expressed his opinions, on the one hand, they would have been convinced, on the other hand, even if they had different opinions, it would be useless at this time.

Sun Jian looked at Cheng Pu, and then at the others. Everyone's faces remained for a few seconds. After seeing that everyone had no other opinions, he stood up.

"Okay, since everyone has no other opinions, do you agree to surrender?"

After finishing speaking, he paused again for a moment, looked at the crowd, and waited for other people who had different opinions to speak out, but after staying for a while, no one spoke.

Only then did Sun Jian turn his attention to his third younger brother, Sun Jing.

"Third brother, go and reply to Liu Zheng, and say that we agreed to his request and agreed to surrender."

Only then did Sun Jing nod her head, and took the order to leave.

Back at Liu Zheng's camp, Sun Jing told Liu Zheng about Sun Jian's answer. Liu Zheng was not surprised, but nodded calmly, and then arranged for Gan Ning and Wen Pin, who looked surprised, to receive Sun Jian's troops.

The process was simple. Sun Jian's men put down their weapons, and then asked Gan Ning to take people over to temporarily detain these people. The so-called detainment also gave enough face, only the weapons were collected, and the others were not restricted, and then let Sun Jian and Sun Jian's men A group of senior generals came to meet Liu Zheng in person.

When Liu Zheng met Sun Jian, the two parties were no strangers. After some simple inquiries, Sun Jian was worried about his family and asked to meet.

Liu Zheng didn't refuse either, but began to send a message to Yan Baihu in the city, opening the city gate and letting his troops in.

After learning of Sun Jian's surrender, Yan Baihu was also overjoyed, and opened the city gate directly to meet Liu Zheng.

Chapter 356

Yan Baihu was quite satisfied with the result of Sun Jian's surrender.

Without the threat of Sun Jian, Yan Baihu would be much safer in Yangzhou area. The remaining Liu Yao was not a local, but a state shepherd sent by the imperial court. It would not be so difficult to deal with him.

After a brief discussion between Liu Zheng and Yan Baihu, he asked Sun Jian to meet his family.

Of course, Sun Jian, who lost the commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses, was nothing to worry about, and Liu Zheng was not afraid that Sun Jian would make any big waves. Next, he discussed with Yan Baihu and joined forces to attack Kuaiji City.

Liu Zheng himself only has more than [-] troops left. Although he has a chance to attack Kuaiji City, it will never be easy, and Liu Zheng also knows at this time how many soldiers and horses are still in Kuaiji City. Relying on one's own strength to attack Kuaiji City will be very stressful.

It is different when uniting with Yan Baihu. Yan Baihu is here, after all, there are [-] soldiers and horses. With Yan Baihu's main force to attack Kuaiji City, if Liu Zheng assists him, it will be much easier to take down Kuaiji City.

"Brother Baihu, now that we have settled Sun Jian, the next step is Liu Yao's Kuaiji City. As long as Kuaiji City is captured, no one in this huge Kuaiji County will be your opponent anymore."

Among the counties and counties in Yangzhou, Kuaiji County has the largest territory. If Kuaiji County can be acquired, it is equivalent to getting one-third of Yangzhou.

"Then we're going to fight Kuaiji City? But Kuaiji City is guarded by Liu Yao's heavy troops, so it's not so easy to take down Kuaiji City."

"It's not easy to fight a city. No matter what kind of city it is, it is not easy. I have already asked Sun Jian. Although there are still many troops in Kuaiji City at this time, I have already consumed a lot. There are 2 soldiers stationed, but 2 of them were transferred by Sun Jian, and the remaining [-] were taken away by Fan Neng. After the battle with me, I estimate that there should be only [-] soldiers in the current Kuaiji City horse."

Twenty-five thousand soldiers and horses are not many. After all, Yan Baihu and Liu Zheng have more than 3 soldiers and horses at this time, so they may not be without the power to fight.

But it's not a lot, and it's still defending according to the city, so it's not easy to fight, but if it can be defeated, it will be a very good thing for Liu Zheng and Yan Baihu.

"What countermeasures can Liu Zhengqu Shuai have?"

"There is no countermeasure. If you want to attack Kuaiji City, I will assist you. After taking down Kuaiji City, I will give you this Kuaiji City. If you don't want to fight, then withdraw your troops temporarily. There were a lot of casualties in this battle, coupled with the shortage of food and grass, it is necessary to go back and take a rest."
