The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

However, the situation is still very tense, and it is not so easy to meet each other.

But Guan Yu saw that Liu Bei seemed to want peace talks, so he didn't dare to neglect, and immediately went down to make arrangements.

Guan Yu only needs to send someone to go to the city, and then use the arrow to tie the envelope to the arrow and shoot towards the tower.

Let Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others in the city understand Guan Yu's meaning, and they can discuss how to meet.

Of course, as for Liu Zhang in the city, do Zhang Lu and others really have the courage to meet Liu Bei?

That's another story.

Guan Yu went down and ordered his men to shoot arrows behind the tower.

In the city of Nanzheng.

Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu are not doing well these days.

Besieged in this Nanzheng City all the time, it has become impossible to go out for a walk.

The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city ate, drank and scattered, making the city a mess.

The most embarrassing thing is that the only water source was blocked by Guan Yu's men.

The water they usually drink is drawn from the well.

But these days, I drink less and less.

According to Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu's speculation, if no reinforcements come over in the next ten days.

They were afraid that they would not be able to hold on anymore, so they could only go out of the city and fight to the death with Guan Yu outside the city.

Liu Zhang was actually unwilling to go out of the city and fight Guan Yu to the death unless it was a last resort. After all, he was not sure that he could defeat Guan Yu.

After seeing the strength of Guan Yu's soldiers and horses, Liu Zhang was very confident at first, but now he began to feel a little timid. Coupled with the lack of troops, Guan Yu would only die if he went out of the city to fight to the death.

After a morning of drunkenness and dreams, Liu Zhang was planning to go to Zhang Lu.

But at this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the house.

Zhang Lu walked in with Yan Pu and a few others with sullen expressions.

As soon as Liu Zhang saw Zhang Lu, he immediately asked Zhang Lu.

"Why are you here?"

"Did something happen?"

Before Zhang Lu could speak, he heard Liu Zhang's question.

Not daring to hide it, he just nodded.

"My lord, something big has indeed happened!"

"What can make you come to me together? Could it be that Guan Yu's soldiers came up?"

"This is not true, but just now our guards received an arrow from the bottom of the city on the tower, and a letter was tied to the arrow!"

After Zhang Lu finished speaking, he handed over the letter in his hand and handed it to Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang became curious all of a sudden, frowned, and took the letter from Zhang Lu's hand.

Looking at it, I saw that there was a peace talk written on the envelope.

This time Liu Zhang frowned, and the frown deepened.

Now it is clear that Guan Yu's army has an absolute advantage. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Guan Yu to negotiate peace. They only need to continue for a while, and they can force Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others in the city to take the initiative to leave the city.

But now that he saw the letter of the peace talks, Liu Zhang immediately thought it was a fake.

"Impossible. Our army is not the opponent of Guan Yu's army at all. Why does the opponent have an absolute advantage and want to negotiate peace with us? There must be fraud in it!"

Liu Zhang immediately responded to Zhang Lu, Yan Pu and others.

It's just that Yan Pu continued after Liu Zhang's words.

"My lord, at first I also thought that there must be fraud in this, but when I think about it carefully, the other party said in the letter that he took the initiative to enter the city to negotiate peace with our side. It is unreasonable to take such a big risk to come to peace talks with our army. You might as well accept their request to talk about it and have a chat."

Chapter 979 Entering the City Negotiations

Guan Yu said in the letter that he would take the initiative to enter the city and have a face-to-face meeting with Liu Zhang.

Taking the initiative to enter the city, isn't this an expression of his sincerity?

In this way, Yan Pu, who originally thought it was a trap, couldn't understand what kind of trick Guan Yu was playing.

Originally, Yan Pu also wanted to force Liu Zhang to reject Guan Yu's proposal.

However, after seeing Guan Yu's initiative to enter the city for talks, Yan Pu thought twice and decided to ask Liu Zhang to agree to the talks.

After all, Liu Zhang and others don't have any advantage outside the city, but if they choose the meeting place in Nanzheng City, then Liu Zhang and others are not afraid of Guan Yu at all.

As long as Guan Yu dared to enter the city, it was up to Guan Yu whether he could get out, but Liu Zhang's people had the final say.

Liu Zhang looked gloomy and looked at Yan Pu.

As if they were thinking about what Yan Pu said, Zhang Lu and others on the side also looked at Liu Zhang eagerly. After all, the final decision was still in Liu Zhang's hands.

Liu Zhang was really not good at negotiating with others. He originally wanted to refuse directly, but seeing that everyone around him was eager to agree, he began to reconsider whether he really wanted to negotiate peace with Guan Yu.

For Liu Zhang, it seems that there is no harm in agreeing to Guan Yu's proposal. Even if he doesn't want to talk about peace, he just needs to trick Guan Yu into the city, which is an excellent thing.

So after thinking about it again, Liu Zhang decided to agree to Guan Yu first, and see what kind of medicine is sold in Guan Yu's gourd?

"Okay, then promise to the other party first, and agree that when the sun goes down today, Guan Yu will be invited into the city. I will set up a banquet in the city to see what tricks they want to play!"

Liu Zhang agreed, and immediately issued an order to the advisers and generals around him, and everyone began to prepare.

Those who dispatched soldiers and horses began to dispatch troops and horses, and those who were in charge of sending messages immediately went to reply to Guan Yu's orders.

Those who were preparing the banquet immediately went down to get busy, after all, it will soon be time for the sun to set.

After Guan Yu received Liu Zhang's reply that he agreed to the peace talks, he was pleasantly surprised.

Without hesitation, he immediately told his elder brother Liu Bei the news.

And Liu Bei also hurriedly prepared. This time the peace talk was not for Guan Yu to go, but Liu Bei planned to bring the counselors into the city to have a face-to-face peace talk with Liu Zhang.

Contact Liu Zhang to fight against Liu Zheng, while Guan Yu only needs to lead troops and horses to station outside the city to prevent Liu Zhang in the city from being short-sighted and blindly fighting.

Once Liu Bei in the city encounters an accident, Guan Yu outside the city can also lead troops to avenge Liu Bei.

Although there are some risks, compared to the rewards that can be obtained after the event is completed, Liu Bei still feels that this risk should be taken.

Soon the sun gradually set to the west, and when the appointed time came, several figures appeared under the city of Nanzheng.

Liu Bei took a few soldiers and Jian Yong, and went directly to Nanzheng City to knock on the door. Liu Zhang on the tower looked outside the city, and after seeing only a few people, he ordered the city gate to be opened.

If hundreds or even thousands of people suddenly came from the city and wanted to enter the city, Liu Zhang would naturally not open the city gate. There are no big waves tossing.

Therefore, in Liu Zhang's view, these people were not threatening. After opening the city gate, Yan Yan led them into the banquet mansion that Liu Zhang had already set up in the city.

From the beginning to the end, Liu Bei was wearing a black robe, and outsiders could not detect Liu Bei's identity at all.

After entering the mansion, he sat at the banquet.

Only then did Liu Zhang, who was on the main seat, ask Liu Bei, who was wearing a black robe, very curiously.

"Who is your Excellency? Why don't you dare to show your true colors in a black robe?"

Although Liu Zhang didn't know Liu Bei's identity at this time, in his opinion, there were only a few people in the hall and there was nothing to worry about. Even if several people are assassins, they may not be able to successfully assassinate Liu Zhang in the hands of so many generals.

If this allowed them to successfully assassinate Liu Zhang, then Liu Zhang's men were too useless.

Liu Zhang only thought that the man in black robe was Guan Yu, but when he thought about it carefully, he was wrong. Guan Yu was tall and mighty, while the man in black robe in front of him was obviously shorter.At first glance, he doesn't look like a martial artist.

Having already arrived at the banquet, Liu Bei knew that he didn't need to hide his identity, so he took the initiative to take off the black robe on his body, revealing his true face.

It's just that after he took off the black robe, everyone present was stunned.Did not recognize Liu Bei's identity.

The people in this hall are not people who have been in the capital, and they have no intersection with Liu Bei, so naturally they did not recognize Liu Bei's appearance.

Even if they have heard of Liu Bei, they have never seen Liu Bei, so it is impossible to recognize Liu Bei immediately.

"Huh? Are you a lobbyist sent by Guan Yu?"

Liu Zhang frowned and looked at Liu Bei carefully before asking.

He really didn't recognize who Liu Bei was.

Liu Zhang didn't recognize who Liu Bei was, but Zhang Lu on the side recognized Jian Yong beside Liu Bei.

Liu Bei has never appeared on the battlefield, but Jian Yong is different.

Jian Yong followed Guan Yu before and appeared on the battlefield many times.

Some of Zhang Lu's men were spies who were in charge of inquiring about information, and they had also collected information about Jian Yong in many ways, and Zhang Lu himself had seen Jian Yong on the battlefield, so he recognized Jian Yong at a glance.

"Jian Yong, I didn't expect you to come here in person. Are you the lobbyist for this peace talk?"

While Liu Zhang asked Liu Bei's identity, Zhang Lu also asked Jian Yong.

When Liu Zhang saw Zhang Lu asking a question, he followed Zhang Lu to Jian Yong, thinking that Jian Yong was the person in charge of the peace talks.

"Jian Yong? Who is he?"

Liu Zhang asked Yan Pu beside him in a low voice.

Liu Zhang came to Nanzheng City later, so he didn't know about Jian Yong's existence, but Yan Pu beside him knew about it, so Liu Zhang could know who the number one person Jian Yong was by asking Yan Pu.

Yan Pu approached Liu Zhang carefully, and whispered in Liu Zhang's ear.

"My lord, that Jian Yong is Liu Bei's counselor. This time, he assisted Guan Yu in attacking us in Hanzhong. If he came in to negotiate peace with us instead of Guan Yu, we can see that Guan Yu has enough sincerity."

Yan Pu also knew Jian Yong, and admired Jian Yong's ability to enter Nanzheng City to negotiate. After all, it was not just a random person who had the courage to do so.

9 Chapter Eighty

After Liu Zhang heard who Jian Yong was from Yan Pu, he nodded immediately. Knowing Jian Yong's identity, he could know that Guan Yu was serious about the peace talks this time.

"For the time being, let's see what Jian Yong is going to say, and what Guan Yu means, and then make a judgment."

Yan Pu suggested to Liu Zhang again.

Liu Zhang also nodded, agreeing with Yan Pu's statement, and instead of continuing to speak, let Zhang Lu communicate with Na Jianyong.

Jian Yong didn't intend to speak at first, he just wanted Liu Bei to talk to Liu Zhang by himself.

However, since these people on the opposite side don't know their lord Liu Bei, but know themselves, Jian Yong can only stand up on his own initiative.

"I'm Jian Yong, I met Zhang Lu's prefect, Mr. Liu Zhang."

After all, Jian Yong is still a man of culture and knows some etiquette, so he first saluted Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu.

Both Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu waved their hands, not paying attention to Jian Yong's salute.

Zhang Lu was rather curious about Jian Yong's purpose of entering the city, so he asked Jian Yong straight to the point.

"Jian Yong, you came to Nanzheng, do you really want peace talks?"

Zhang Lu spoke first, and Jian Yong didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only turn his body sideways, and then gestured to Liu Bei who hadn't opened his mouth all this time.

Then he continued to speak to Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang.

"My lords, the person who entered the city to talk to you this time is not my lord, but my lord."

"Your lord? Isn't your lord Liu Bei? Why? Liu Bei is here? Are you kidding me?"

When Zhang Lu heard Jian Yong's words, he was stunned immediately, and then expressed his disbelief.

"Hahaha, your lord? Liu Bei? Does he dare to come to my Nanzheng City? If he really dares to come, I, Liu Zhang, will take his surname!"

After Liu Zhang finished speaking, the scene was a little awkward for a while, and everyone was thinking in their hearts, even if it is Liu Bei's surname, isn't it still surnamed Liu.

"Young Master Liu, it's true that you are so forgetful. We met once in Luoyang back then, but how could you forget about me, Liu Bei, so quickly?"

Seeing that Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang didn't seem to believe that they would appear in Nanzheng City, Liu Bei finally said something.

Liu Bei's opening made Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, who hadn't paid much attention to Liu Bei, look at Liu Bei again.

Especially Liu Zhang, after hearing Liu Bei's words, his face sank even more.

Liu Zhang's age is actually not much different from Liu Bei's.

In the early years, when Liu Bei was still studying in Luoyang, Liu Zhang was also in Luoyang with his older brothers.
