As Zhang Liao judged, the Han army did not return to Chaisang, but instead stationed in Ruxukou to confront the troops in Hefei and Shouchun. The war was far from over. The Han army could fight back to Hefei at any time. However, Liu Jing saw that Cao Pi was eager to take the opportunity to control the military power. If the handling was inappropriate, it would easily arouse factional struggle within the Cao army. Of course, Liu Jing was happy to see this situation happen.

In the Ruxukou Military Camp, Liu Jing followed several soldiers to a special camp. The reason why it was special was that the camp was surrounded by tall wooden fences, and nearby soldiers were guarding the surroundings, and the guard was very tight.

This kind of camp is basically found in all military camps, which is a type of military prison, which is generally used for house arrest, rather than a real cellar prison.

Liu Jing walked into the fence, and several soldiers opened the curtains first. They saw Xu Sheng, the general of Jiangdong, sitting in the tent reading. Xu Sheng was not imprisoned by shackles, but was placed under house arrest in the military prison. He wore a white robe and a flat scarf on his head. He no longer had the domineering spirit of a general, holding bamboo slips in his hand, adding a bit of scholarly spirit to his elegance.

"The King of Han is coming down," a soldier guarding him whispered.

Xu Sheng quickly stood up, not because of his identity as a prisoner of war, but because of the fact that the King of Han Liu Jing has always been the one he admired. Of course, Xu Sheng did not dare to be rude when Liu Jing arrived.

Liu Jing walked into the tent and smiled and said, "General Xu, don't be fine."

Xu Sheng bowed his fists and said, "See Your Highness the King of Han"

Liu Jing nodded, "Let's sit down and talk."

The two sat down, Liu Jing looked at the tent and said, "What else does General Xu need, such as the inconvenience in life."

Xu Sheng shook his head, "Life is worry-free, and there are still books to read. Xu Sheng thanks Your Highness for your mercy."

"You are welcome"

Liu Jing smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, General Xu is not a native of Jiangdong, but a native of Ju County, Langya County."

"It was the war in my hometown that I brought my parents to Jiangdong to take refuge. I joined the Jiangdong Army in the fifth year of Jian'an. Fifteen years have passed in a flash."

"Time flies so fast. When I was in Chaisang, I was fighting with General Xu for another branch. In a flash, more than ten years have passed. Life is like the water of the Yangtze River. Once it leaves, it will never return."

Liu Jing's sigh also aroused Xu Sheng's loss. He was only twenty years old, full of energy and ambitious. Now he is fifteen years old. Not only has he achieved nothing, he has also become a prisoner. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and he whispered in a low voice: "What is your Highness going to deal with me?"

"Actually, it's okay if I let you go back, but if I let you go back, it's actually a harm to you."

Xu Sheng was stunned, "Your Highness, how do you say this?"

"You may not know yet that you have been removed from the Jiangdong Army and listed as a rebel. Sun Quan has removed all your military positions and rewards in public."

Xu Shengteng stood up and said angrily: "Have your highness spread any false words?"

Liu Jing said lightly: "What is my identity? Will I use such a despicable trick?"

Xu Sheng sat down slowly, and he understood a little in his heart. It should be Ding Feng. He put the blame for his defeat on himself. In fact, Xu Sheng didn't know that it was not Ding Feng who framed him, but his personal soldiers deceived Ding Feng, resulting in the annihilation of the entire Jiangdong Army. Ding Feng naturally thought that he surrendered to the Han army.

Xu Sheng hugged his head, and for a while, he asked in a hoarse voice: "How is my father and wife and children now?"

"They have all been ordered to be arrested and imprisoned by Sun Quan."

Xu Sheng groaned in pain and stopped saying a word. Liu Jing stared at him silently for a moment, got up and walked out of the tent. It was not until Liu Jing walked away that Xu Sheng slowly raised his head, and a complex expression burst out from his eyes.

Of course, he understood why he came to visit him in person, just hoping that he would surrender. Xu Sheng actually didn't have much resistance. He had long seen that Jiangdong was out of the way, and Liu Jing would unify the world sooner or later. Even Sun Shao and Lu Xun surrendered to the Han Kingdom. For his own future, why couldn't he find another one?

But he couldn't let go of this and didn't want to be rebellious. Now his family has become Sun Quan's prisoner. If he publicly surrendered to Han, his family would have life worries. In any case, Xu Sheng could not make this decision.

Xu Sheng sighed, what should he do now

Jianye, a small boat came from Jiangbei. A soldier on the dock had discovered it and immediately surrounded it. In addition to the old boatman, there was also a soldier over ten years old. He smiled at the soldiers in Jiangdong and said, "Please tell you, Marquis of Wu, and let the Han King's Special Envoy Qin Mi ask for a meeting."

Soon, Jiangdong Changshi Buzhi hurried to the dock and saluted Qin Mi and said, "I'm rude to let the Lord Qin wait for a long time."

"It turned out to be Bu Changshi, and Wu Hou Ke is in Jianye"

"Mr. Wu is waiting for the Lord to take the lead in the palace, and I will come and greet you."

At this time, a gorgeous carriage came, Bu Zhi waved his hand and smiled, "Master Qin Bo, please."

"please"

The two boarded the carriage, and under the escort of a horse-riding guard, the carriage drove towards Jianye Palace.

The reason why Sun Quan treated Qin Mi very well was his uneasy expression. The Jiangdong Army failed to attack Chaisang. The Han Army has not made any statements about Jiangdong until now. The Hushui Army and the Kuaiji Han Army were not in a position to hold their troops, as if nothing had happened. This silent statement made Sun Quan feel uneasy.

Therefore, Qin Mi's arrival really made him overjoyed. It was the Han King's special envoy, not the Han army warships attacked, which brought a glimmer of hope for peace to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was walking back and forth in the lobby with his hands, looking worried and a little anxious. Zhang Zhao, who was sitting beside him, knew Sun Quan's thoughts very well. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sun Quan was naive. The situation in Kuaiji and Wujun had reached this point. It was no doubt that Liu Jing had the intention to attack Jiangdong. In this situation that was a foregone conclusion, Liu Jing would certainly not care about the unsuccessful Chaisang incident. Sending a special envoy did not mean that the Han army had given up attacking Wu from now on, but Liu Jing's delaying plan was just that the Marquis of Wu could not even see through this.

However, Zhang Zhao didn't want to say this, which made Sun Quan completely fall into despair, so he would leave some hope for Wu Hou. Maybe the Han army was really defeated by Cao's army and the situation in the east would be completely reversed.

At this time, a guard reported in the hall, "Report to the Marquis of Wu, the special envoy of the Han army has arrived."

"Please come in quickly," Sun Quan urged repeatedly.

After a moment, Bu Zhi accompanied Qin Mi to walk into the lobby quickly. Sun Quan personally greeted him, held Qin Mi's hand and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Qin."

"Wu Hou is polite."

Qin Mi's hand was held by Sun Quan and could not salute, so he had to follow him into the lobby. Sun Quan did not need Qin Mi to salute him, so he asked him to sit down directly. He also sat opposite Qin Mi, and Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi sat down. This was the monarch's etiquette to the monarch. Sun Quan actually put it on a special envoy, and even Qin Mi felt that Sun Quan was enthusiastic.

Qin Mi bowed and smiled and said, "I came here under the order of the King of Han this time to make an exchange with Jiangdong."

"I don't know what His Highness the King of Han wants to exchange for," Sun Quan asked with a smile.

"That's right. We have thousands of soldiers from Jiangdong, all of whom are elite troops from Jiangdong. His Highness the King of Han wants to put them back to reunite with his family, but I hope Jiangdong will make some statements."

Qin Mi said this, Zhang Zhao immediately understood and smiled faintly: "If I was not wrong, His Highness the King of Han hopes that we will release Xu Sheng's family, right?"

"Mr. Zhang is indeed an extraordinary person, and the King of Han is exactly what he meant."

Sun Quan's originally enthusiastic smile suddenly disappeared, and slowly became cold. It was actually in exchange for Xu Sheng's family. So, Xu Sheng really surrendered to the Han army, and he did not wrongly accuse him.

In the past two years, Sun Quan gradually became irritable because of repeated severe setbacks. He gradually lost his previous calmness and deepness of calmness and calmness. If his subordinates were not careful, they would anger him. They often heard his yelling, roaring, and smashing things.

At this time, when Sun Quan heard that the other party was going to exchange Xu Sheng's family, he immediately stinged his sensitive self-esteem. He raised his eyebrows and saw that it was about to attack, Bu Zhi next to him quickly asked: "How is Qian Zhengshi's current situation?"

Bu Zhi was actually reminding Sun Quan that it was not coming to ask for someone, but to exchange. Zhang Zhao also asked, "Master Qin Bo, is the King of Han going back to Chaisang now?"

"His Royal Highness of the Han Dynasty did not return to Chaisang, but was at Ruxu's mouth."

Bu Zhi and Zhang Zhao's reminder made Sun Quan suddenly realize that he was going to lose his composure. He could be angry with the ministers in Jiangdong, but he could not attack the Han envoy. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain the matter of Chaisang. Now he could not afford to offend the Han army. Sun Quan restrained the anger in his heart and said for a while: "I can agree to the exchange."

Qin Mi immediately stood up and said, "This is the best. I will take the people away this time. As for Jiangdong prisoners of war, I will wait on the Yangtze River. As long as I return to Jiangbei, the warships transporting prisoners of war will dock in Jianye."

Only then did Sun Quan realize that the Han army warships had already been waiting on the river. This was Liu Jing's first ritual and then the army. If he did not agree, the Han army warships would probably arrive in Jianye.

Sun Quan felt a deep humiliation, but he had no choice but to say to Bu Zhi: "Bu Changshi, let him go."

Bu Zhi left with Qin Mi, but Sun Quan did not move, staring at the table with his eyes fixed on it. He suddenly drew his sword and slashed at the table. With a click, the table was split into two pieces. Sun Quan threw the sword to the ground and turned around and walked towards the harem.

Zhang Zhao picked up the sword and shook his head gently. He could understand the humiliation in Sun Quan's heart, but this is politics. When your strength is far inferior to the other party, no matter how great the humiliation is, he could only hold back. The other party's request was not a second choice except for unconditional agreement. However, Liu Jing was given enough face to be able to release thousands of prisoners of war.

But Zhang Zhao knew that Liu Jing was not for Sun Quan, but for the people and officials of Jiangdong. The Jiangdong government and the people would think that this was a good exchange. Thousands of prisoners of war changed to a family. Liu Jing was very generous, but Sun Quan felt deeply humiliated.
