Wei and Jin cooks

Wei Jie and the others did bypass Quzhou County and went to Zhongshan County without stopping.

It's just that the atmosphere in the team is much more solemn, completely different from the lightness before.

The group accelerated their pace, traveling day and night, and arrived at Zhongshan County on the evening of the third day.

Zhao Xin and Wei Jie first went to meet Liu Kun's younger brother Liu Xi.

Liu Xi is Liu Kun's spokesperson in Jizhou. They are both from Zhongshan County. The Liu family has many village elders here, and Liu Kun is a famous scholar. In recent years, because he has stayed in Jinyang and sheltered refugees, he has been allowed to merge with Jizhou. The area is more famous.

Zhongshan County is proud of Liu Kun.

Therefore, when Liu Xi took the order to return to Zhongshan County to gather troops to regain Jizhou, he could respond to everything at once. It was because of Liu Kun's prestige that Daijun and other places abandoned the more powerful Wang Jun and turned to Liu Kun.

When Liu Xi heard that Zhao Hanzhang had a delegation arriving, he immediately led his generals to welcome them out.

He knew that Zhao Hanzhang and they were now allies. Jinyang's reinforcements arrived two days ago. They were able to send reinforcements because Zhao Hanzhang surrounded Pingyang City and asked Liu Cong's army to return for reinforcements.

Otherwise, he might not have been able to defend Zhongshan County two days ago, so Liu Xi valued Zhao Hanzhang's mission very much.

However, he was also curious as to why the mission came to Zhongshan County instead of Jinyang. If there was an exchange of interests, they should go to Liu Kun, not him.

He is just a jobber.

"Meet Wang Jun?" Liu Xi almost stopped sitting and asked nervously: "Why does Ambassador Zhao want to see Wang Jun?"

Is it possible that Zhao Hanzhang would give up on them and form an alliance with Wang Jun instead?

Zhao Xindao said: "We, the governor, believe that both General Wang and Governor Liu are ministers of the Jin Dynasty. They should not attack each other at this time. Instead, they will give the Huns an advantage. Therefore, our governor sent me and Mr. Wei as envoys to persuade General Wang." , instead of attacking each other, it is better to use the current military line as the boundary to divide Jizhou into two and rule it."

Liu Xi's eyes flickered and hesitantly said, "Can Wang Jun agree?"

They have no objections here. Now, except for Liu Yuan and Shi Le, they occupy the largest territory in Jizhou, and Wang Jun only occupies the smallest part of the counties.

In terms of military strength, Liu Kun is not as good as Wang Jun. If the battle continues, Liu Kun will definitely lose. Although places like Hedai County have taken refuge with Liu Kun, they are not in a high mood to participate in the war. If Wang Jun insists on not retreating and keeps fighting, They will most likely surrender outright.

So the advantages and disadvantages to them outweigh the disadvantages.

Liu Xi still had something he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it. In fact, if they could coexist peacefully, they could give up a county.

However, he was afraid that speaking out would damage his morale, so he only dared to think about it in his mind.

Zhao Xin said: "If we just draw a line and rule, he will naturally not be willing, but what if we are willing to help him take Qingzhou?"

Liu Xi's eyes widened, "Qingzhou? But that's not General Gou..."

Zhao Xin smiled and said: "General Wang also received the post of Qingzhou Governor, but General Gou has many people to do and may have forgotten this matter, so he also appointed General Xiao Gou as Qingzhou Governor."

Liu Xi was worried, swallowed his saliva and said, "But if we take Qingzhou, what if we offend General Gou..."

Zhao Xin said: "General, Governor Liu and General Wang are now fighting each other. The lawsuit has been in Yuncheng for more than a month, and no conclusion has been reached yet. Obviously General Gou is not very concerned about this matter."

"General Wang has a strong army, and Governor Liu has a high reputation. With the help of our Governor, taking Qingzhou is just a snap. This move can calm the war in the two places, and can also twist the three places into one to deal with the Xiongnu. Kill two birds with one stone. Your Majesty is here." I am also happy, and I think General Gou will also put the overall situation first."

It kills two birds with one stone. The only one injured is Gou Xi. If Gou Xi knew about it, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood, right?

But Liu Xi agreed just after thinking about it.

There were Shi Le and Liu Yuan between Zhao Hanzhang and them, so it was difficult to send troops and horses to assist. They could only use strategies such as encircling Wei to rescue Zhao and containing the troops. Now that they were without the powerful enemy of the Xiongnu, it did not mean that they could defeat Wang Jun.

If peace talks can be made, it is not impossible to send troops to help fight Qingzhou.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Liu Xi agreed and said he would send troops to escort them to negotiate with Wang Jun.

Liu Xi first sent a letter to Wang Jun opposite him, and then he warmly entertained the envoy.

He couldn't help but peek at Wei Jie, who was really as jade-like as a jade. What if such a person passed by and was bumped into by villains like Wang Jun?

So Liu Xidao said: "Master Wei, it is better to stay in the city and wait for news. It is still too dangerous outside."

Xin Zhao:...Isn't he dangerous?

Wei Jie shook his head and said: "The letter sent away just now has your signature. I am the deputy envoy of the mission. If General Wang agrees to see us, wouldn't it be a lie if I don't show up?"

In the Youzhou Army camp, Wang Jun really didn't expect to see any envoys, especially Zhao Hanzhang's envoys.

After reading Liu Xi's letter, he threw the attached letter from Zhao Hanzhang's envoy to the deputy general, and said with a sullen face: "Zhao Hanzhang still has the nerve to send envoys to me? Does she really think she can represent the imperial court? Where is Yuncheng? If she hadn't caused trouble for me, Your Majesty would have made me the governor of Jizhou."

As long as he becomes the governor of Jizhou, no matter how much land Liu Kun occupies, he will have to withdraw.

The generals on the side also hated Zhao Hanzhang and said: "We launched the general attack three days ago. If reinforcements hadn't suddenly arrived from Jinyang, I would have captured Zhongshan County and killed Liu Xi. The reason why Jinyang was able to send reinforcements is that all Because she sent troops to Pingyang County to let Liu Cong, who was restraining Jinyang, leave. General, why don't we send troops tomorrow to show them a good look in front of Zhao Hanzhang's envoy and let her know that General and Liu Kun, she has eyes. Liu Kun was chosen behind the butt."

The deputy general had already opened the letter and read it. Seeing that Wang Jun was really considering this suggestion, he hurriedly took the letter and said, "General, there is Wei Jie in the mission this time."

Wang Jun frowned, "Hedong Wei Jie?"

"That's him." The deputy general looked at his face and considered, "General, Wei Jie is a famous person in the world. People often say that the three sons of the Wang family are not as good as the one of the Wei family. If the general doesn't even see him, he will send troops and spread the word. , I’m just afraid that the world will slander the general.”

Wang Jun was surprised, "How could Wei Jie be in Zhao Hanzhang's mission? Did he choose Zhao Hanzhang to join him?"

The lieutenant general said: "Why don't you meet them and see what they say. If the general doesn't like it, then you can just find an excuse to get back to them."

Wang Jun lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded. He also wanted to see Wei Jie. If he really took refuge in Zhao Hanzhang, he wanted to see what Zhao Hanzhang wanted to do?

Wang Jun thought about many possibilities. Zhao Hanzhang might talk nonsense to him and ask him not to hit Liu Kun; he might mediate between him and Liu Kun and let them draw a line between them...

He had already thought of the reasons for his refusal. Below Youzhou, to the west was Jizhou. Their Youzhou was the closest place to Jizhou, and this area was originally his sphere of influence.

Liu Kun is so ambitious that he dares to get involved in his Jizhou!

When his parents fell and had no help, he lent him soldiers and horses and asked him to rescue his parents, but now he is repaying kindness with hatred.

Wang Jun was so filled with hatred that he decided not to agree to peace talks even if Wei Jie opened his mouth. As a result, when the envoy came, before he could recover from Wei Jie's beauty, he was smashed by Zhao Xin's pie. He was confused, "Take Qingzhou?"
