Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 48
In the Yamen of Yong'an Mansion, Liu Beigao sat on the desk, Liu Chan and a group of ministers came down quietly, Liu Chan's face was serious, and the ministers beside him were happy, and couldn't help whispering, expressing their joy for Wu Qinghe.

In order to vent his emotions about the defeat of Yiling, when he learned that Cao Wei's army was indeed going south, Liu Zuipao threatened Lu Xun and wrote a letter: "The thief is now in Jiangling, and I will return to the east. The general said he can Otherwise?"

The governor of Lu Da, who had just won the victory, also fought back with his mouth: "But the terrorist army is newly broken, and the wounds have not been recovered. They are only asking for a relationship, and they should make up for themselves. Before they have time to run out of soldiers. If they don't count, they want to overthrow them For those who have been sent from afar, there is nowhere to escape."

Old Liu was really angry. You, Lu Xun, were lucky enough to defeat him because of the timing. Cao Pi's army went south, and he was still so arrogant. He ordered Chen Shi and Huang Quandong to go out of Yong'an for a while. Lu Xun didn't persuade him, but Sun Quan did.

Sun Quan had to think about everything, even if Liu Bei didn't have the strength to attack with all his strength, but at the critical moment when Cao Pi went south three ways, he had to take precautions. In this case, Sun Quan would deal with Cao Pi with all his strength, and once he fought for a long time, Lao Liu What should we do if thousands or even tens of thousands of people are sent eastward from the Yangtze River to feel disgusted?
Although there is Yiling in the way, he is still worried, and Sun Huan (clan Yan Yuan) and thousands of Jiangdong soldiers who are the most promising in the eyes of the second generation of the Sun family are still imprisoned in Yong'an by Liu Bei. Not long ago, in front of Hao Zhou (the envoy of Cao Wei), Sun Quan burst into tears again, and swore to the sky (the King of Wu was crying because of it, and pointed to the sky as his oath).

However, what he said was nice, but after Haozhou went back, Sun Quan promised to send the hostages to Wei, but he did not keep it for a long time (Zhou returned but the servant did not come, but there were many false words).

Moreover, Cao Pi confidently said: "People say that they have surrendered and attacked them. If they doubt the hearts of those who want to come from the world, it is not as good as to accept Wu's surrender and attack Shu." He also canonized Sun Quan as King Wu and Jia Jiuxi.Netizens of later generations jokingly called "The King of Wei and Wu"

So Sun Quan sent Zheng Quan to Yong'an to exchange captives and the peace between Han and Wu.

Liu Bei motioned to the waiter for Zheng Quan to see him.

"Xuan Wu's envoy Zheng Quan has an audience!"

Zheng Quanzheng entered the mansion in full clothes and saluted Liu Bei.

Liu Bei looked at Zheng Quan and asked knowingly, "Why did the envoy Wu come?"

Zheng Quan heard that the corners of his mouth twitched. Liu Bei and Sun Quan had already discussed the exchange of prisoners through letters.Zheng Quan still bowed and replied: "The scholars of Jingzhou and their families miss the Han, and the king heard that the special ministers came to help the scholars and their families to return to the country."

Old Liu Fuxu was silent, obviously getting a satisfactory answer, and then slowly said: "King Wu, will you agree to my request?"

Zheng Quan showed hesitation, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty's request is harsh, should we discuss it again?"

Old Liu stopped to stroke his beard. Liu Chan saw Liu Bei's movement and guessed that he was not happy. He immediately said: "Wu envoy, you know the situation in your country. Now Cao Wei is attacking Wu and sending troops to three directions. The king of Wu is terrified. Now the country (Liu Bei) Pronouns) Rende is willing to exchange prisoners with you to help your country of Wu defend against Cao Wei, why do you refuse, and what is the reason?"

Zheng Quan showed displeasure, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, after the battle of Yiling just ended, I don't know why I thought Wu was defeated."

In Lie Zhao Yun, Huang Quan, Liu Ba and others showed hesitation, Fu Xun stared and said angrily: "Wu Gou, don't deceive me that there is no one else, or we will fight again."

"You...!" Zheng Quan was very angry.

"You are presumptuous!" Fu Xun continued to glare, arched his hands towards Liu Bei, and stared at Zheng Quan: "The Wu envoy of the country is so presumptuous, and he sees me as a big man. Please cut off Zheng Quan's flag to sacrifice to the Eastern Wu."

Zheng Quan couldn't help being flustered when he heard the words, he cupped his hands to Liu Bei and said, "Your Majesty, I don't mean that!"

Liu Chan suppressed his smile, Liu Bei pondered for a while and said: "Fu Xun retreats, envoy Wu don't worry, what Fu Biedu said is a joke."

Liu Chan continued to say solemnly: "Emissary Wu, our country has nothing else to ask for, so Pan Jun, my Jingzhou soldiers and their families, who are in charge of Jingzhou governance, can I replace Sun Huan, the royal family of King Wu, and his Jiangdong soldiers?"

Zheng Quan also calmed down, and looked at Liu Chan's calm and handsome face. Liu Chan had been with Lao Liu for a long time, so he couldn't help imitating Lao Liu's expressionless expression of happiness and anger.

Zheng Quan couldn't figure it out, Liu Chan's real bottom line, he said helplessly: "Pan Fujun has a heavy responsibility for our country, and it is unknown whether Pan Fujun is willing to return to my country, and there are many soldiers in Jingzhou in your country, how can you promise this?" Will)

Liu Chan said indifferently: "Pan Zhizhong, why doesn't he want to return to the country? His cousin Jiang Shangshulang (Jiang Wan) is in the Han Dynasty, and his friends are mostly in my country, why wouldn't he be willing?"

Liu Chan bowed his hands and saluted Liu Bei and said: "Besides, the country will treat Pan Zhizhong well, and he will be promoted if he is favored."

Zheng Quan had nothing to say, and said firmly: "If Pan Zhizhong is unwilling to return to the big man, you can't force it."

The corner of Liu Chan's mouth raised, and he said calmly: "In this case, if Sun Huan doesn't want to return to the country, your country can't force it."

Zheng Quan's face turned red, and Liu Chan continued to say: "I am a big man who has returning soldiers. Your country can't force you to stay. Our country can promise that Jingzhou soldiers can return some of them. The number must be one and a half more. The country returned 4 people to Yiling to surrender.”

Zheng Quan thought about it, saw that there was a lot to write about in the middle, and said, "How about the cavalry of the death-death army who surrendered their cavalry and their cavalry?"

When Liu Chan saw Zheng Quan mentioning the cavalry of the death-death army, he couldn't control his smile and said, "One person, one cavalry, and I will replace the soldiers and their families from the two soldiers from the old Jingzhou family of my great Han. How about it?"

Zheng Quan thought about it, and seeing that he could promise, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, Quan needs to write a letter first and report it to my king."

Seeing Zheng Quan's attitude, Liu Chan knew that an agreement had been reached on the exchange of prisoners, and surrendered to Liu Bei and returned to the queue.

Seeing this, Liu Bei was satisfied and ordered someone to take Zheng Quan down to rest, and praised Liu Chan for fulfilling his mission.

Liu Chan took the initiative to step forward, lowered his head and cupped his hands with a smile on his face, and said, "Father, my servants rely on Fu Biedu's help to intimidate Zheng Quan!"

Fu Xun cupped his hands and stepped forward, grinning and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need rewards for such trivial matters!"

Liu Bei couldn't help stroking his beard and smiling when he saw how simple and honest Fu Xun was.

Liu Chan cupped his hands and continued to add: "You can send the prime minister and Jiang Shangshulang to write a letter to Pan Zhizhong. If possible, your majesty can also write a letter to Anpan Zhizhong's heart."

People in Wuling, Jingzhou heard that Pan Jun's expression was not angry, and Liu Bei's expression was also complicated. Pan Jun's auxiliary army, Zhonglang General, was obtained by killing Fan Zhou and some former Wuling scholars in Wuling. Fan Zhou tried to incite Wuling, a barbarian general in Wuxi. Dedicated to Liu Bei.Sun Quan ordered Pan Jun to lead 5000 people to go there, and sure enough, he beheaded and put down Fan Zhou.

Seeing everyone like this, Liu Chan cupped his hands and said in a loud voice: "At the beginning when Wu occupied Jingzhou, all the generals and officials joined him, but Pan Zhizhong claimed that he was sick. Sun Quan came to visit in person, but Pan Jun was still in tears, lying on his bed. Sun Quan personally visited and comforted him. , and sent someone to wipe his face with a towel, Pan Zhizhong just bowed to him."

"It was my big man who was sorry for Pan Zhizhong, not Pan Zhizhong who was sorry for my big man. Although he later beheaded my big man's officials, each was his own master, so what is the crime?"

Liu Bei stared at Liu Chan, but there was obvious thought in his deep eyes. After a while, Liu Bei got up and looked around the crowd and said seriously: "The prince's words are reasonable. After Pan Zhizhong returns to the country in the future, he can no longer mention the matter of Soochow. Please remember!"

When everyone saw Liu Bei like this, they stopped talking and bowed their hands to promise.
