Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Wang Lang coughed lightly and said: "To be honest with the King of Wu, I came here because of the war in Jingzhou. If Jiangdong and the imperial court can stop the war, it will be beneficial to both sides. When two tigers fight, one of them will be injured. Chang'an has the King of Jin."

The army is watching with eager eyes. Now the King of Jin has conquered Yizhou and Liu Bei has been appointed as the leader. With such strength, if you look at all the princes in the world, the only one who can compete with the King of Jin is the imperial court."

Sun Quan secretly nodded, but did not refute Wang Lang's words. Lu Bu's strength was indeed too strong. If he could not make a greater impact on the battlefield in Yizhou, it would be extremely difficult to compete with Lu Bu.

things.

However, at this time, Sun Quan naturally could not easily agree with Wang Lang's words and snorted: "Since the imperial court knows this truth, why did it send troops to attack Jingzhou?"

"King Wu, isn't it necessary for the imperial army to go to Jingzhou? King Wu regards Jingzhou as a place to rule, but has it ever been recognized by the imperial court?" Wang Lang said.

Sun Quan was at a loss for words. It would be extremely easy for the imperial army to attack other places if they wanted a name. Just like Cao Cao sent troops to attack Jingzhou this time, under the banner of suppressing rebellion.

"After the two sides stop fighting, will the imperial army be willing to hand over the city that captured our lord?" Zhang Zhao asked.

"Absolutely impossible!" Wang Lang said bluntly.

"Huh, since you don't want to hand over the city, what's the use of the envoy coming to Jiangdong? You'd better just come back." Sun Quan said with a low face.

"King Wu, I think King Wu has a certain understanding of the current situation on the battlefield in Jingzhou. If Prime Minister Cao leads his troops to attack Xiling, how much Jiangdong Army can survive under the sharp edge of the imperial army? Jiangdong's strength will suffer a serious decline.

If it were lost, wouldn't it take longer to recuperate? The King of Jin captured Yizhou without losing too many troops."

Sun Quan said: "If we want to stop the war, the imperial court must provide benefits."

After hearing Sun Quan's words, Wang Lang understood Sun Quan's thoughts. At the current stage of the war, Jiangdong Army had suffered great losses. If it took the initiative to retreat from the battlefield, wouldn't it appear that Jiangdong Army was incompetent, and Sun Quan was

The world-famous King of Wu.

A tyrant with a stupid wife is hard to love

"Jingzhou, your Majesty will not give in. If King Wu is willing to stop his army, the court is willing to reward King Wu with 50,000 shi of grain, millions of dollars, hundreds of crossbows, hundreds of thunder chariots, and 500 war horses." Wang Lang said.

"Hmph, is Jingzhou so cheap in the eyes of the Holy Emperor? I am willing to pay double the price. I wonder if the imperial court is willing to give up the city that has been seized by me?" Sun Quan said.

Wang Lang lowered his voice and said: "At this time, it is the imperial army that has the advantage on the battlefield in Jingzhou. If King Wu does not agree, I am afraid that he will not even get these things and will have to suffer defeat."

Sun Quan's heart was moved. He knew what the situation was like on the battlefield in Jingzhou. Jiangdong Army could only passively defend against Cao Jun's attack, and Cao Jun had already begun to dig the city and dig down the city wall. Although it was a relatively difficult task.

This is not to say that it is difficult to succeed. Although Xiling City is the county seat of Jiangxia, the city wall is definitely not as strong as Xiangyang. Cao Jun could even break through Xiangyang back then, let alone now.

"Two hundred thousand dan of grain and grass, ten million of money, five hundred crossbows, five hundred thunder chariots, and three thousand war horses. And what I want is excellent war horses." Sun Quan said after a moment of silence.

Wang Lang shook his head and said: "Absolutely impossible."

After the two sides bargained, the imperial court finally rewarded Jiangdong with 100,000 stones of grain and grass, 200 crossbows, 200 thunder chariots, and thousands of war horses. Jiangdong's army retreated from the battlefield, and the imperial court recognized the status of King Wu.

In fact, what Sun Quan wanted was Shouchun. If Shouchun could be controlled, it would be of great help to Sun Quan. However, Wang Lang's attitude towards Shouchun was very firm.

Wang Lang did not have much power when he went to Jiangdong. The protracted war in Jingzhou was not good for Xu Du. If Jiangdong could take the initiative to withdraw its troops, it would be beneficial to both sides. Moreover, the Jiangdong army took the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield. The imperial court had no regard for King Wu.

With a reward, the impact of Jiangdong's army's failure on the Jingzhou battlefield would be avoided. Even if such matters came to Cao Cao, they would certainly be granted permission.

Every additional day the war goes on, not only will more soldiers in the army die, but more food, grass and baggage will be consumed. The amount of rice and food consumed by tens of thousands of troops in one day is a huge amount.

I was a ghost in ancient times

The Jiangdong Army was unwilling to give up Jiangxia easily, and it was even more impossible for Cao Cao to retreat at this time. According to the current situation, it would be very difficult to capture the city without three months.

Sun Quan wanted to preserve the strength of Jiangdong Army in this battle. Only in this way can Jiangdong Army have more strength to fight against the princes in future turmoil.

As Wang Lang said, Jiangdong Army really had no hope of victory on the battlefield in Jingzhou.

As for dealing with Lu Bu, Sun Quan would not stand with Cao Cao on the surface, and the hatred for the loss of Jingzhou City would not be easily resolved. If the court needs to send troops to Jiangdong, he will

A higher price needs to be paid.

If Jiangdong Army retreats from the battlefield at this time, there will definitely be a lot of losses. The soldiers of both sides have already fired real fire on the battlefield in Jingzhou. However, after the main figures of both sides reach some agreements, this situation will be avoided.

.

However, the imperial court's recognition of Sun Quan's status is actually equivalent to Sun Quan's recognition of the status of Xudu's imperial court. This is also the situation Jiangdong is currently facing. He does not have enough troops and can only temporarily show his favor to Cao Cao. However, after the King of Jin returns, the situation will change

Completely different changes will occur.

In any case, Lu Bu and Jiang Dong are allies, and Jiang Dong can do many things by relying on this alliance.

Even though Sun Quan was a little dissatisfied with Lu Bu's attack on Yizhou and not caring about Jiangdong's life and death this time, Lu Bu represented the strongest power among the princes. After forming an alliance with Lu Bu, the benefits were obvious.

Zhang Zhao was relieved when he saw that Sun Quan and Wang Lang had reached an agreement. Although he admired many of the imperial courts, he was still a minister under the rule of King Wu. As long as he stayed in Jiangdong, he would definitely hope that Jiangdong would become more powerful.

Favoring the imperial court is one thing, but what it really shows is definitely different. Before the imperial court cannot gain an absolute advantage against Jiangdong's army, Jiangdong's family will definitely not easily stand on the side of the imperial court. Sun Quan is Wu

King, breaking the earth and becoming king means that he has absolute control over his subordinates. After offending Sun Quan, the family may be faced with a situation of destruction. At this point, the family can still see clearly.
