Soon after, he was coming back to report that the other party was indeed coming to seek peace. He hoped that Liu Jing could let Jiangdong go for the sake of the marriage between the two families. Jiangdong was willing to exchange the Han army for the withdrawal of the troops with the greatest sincerity.

After reading Sun Quan's handwritten letter, Liu Jing couldn't help laughing, "What is the greatest sincerity? Can he agree to any of my requirements?"

But they said righteously: "From the other party's attitude, it seems that this is indeed meaningful, but they are afraid that Your Highness will put forward excessive conditions."

Liu Jing sneered, "If I don't see the messenger, they will say that I am arrogant. Well, I will meet him, but the Lord Bo will follow me to meet you."

Liu Jing walked quickly to the first floor, but was following behind him. He suggested to Liu Jing: "Your Highness attacked Jiangdong, after all, there was an excuse. You are not familiar with your mission. I suggest that you find an excuse for justice to seal the mouth of Jiangdong."

Liu Jing stopped, pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "You are right, you need to find an excuse for justice."

In the cabin on the first floor, Yan Yan seemed a little upset and paced back and forth with his hands. This time when he was on the Han army, Sun Quan gave him a heavy task, which made him return to achieve results no matter what, which made him feel extremely stressed.

The situation has developed to this point. How could the Han army retreat? How could he still get the results and return?

In fact, Yan Yan knew in his heart that Jiangdong could not provide any tempting conditions. Jiangbei's iron ore had long been occupied by the Han army, and the food itself was insufficient. Could it be that they could take stock of gold and jewelry, or beautiful craftsmen, or these might not be able to impress Liu Jing?

At this time, a series of steps came from outside the cabin, and the guards whispered to remind him: "The King of Han is coming down."

Yan Yan turned around and saw Liu Jing walking in quickly. He hurriedly stepped forward and gave a deep salute, "Jiangdong, the general of the Central Army, Yan Yan, will meet His Highness the King of Han!"

"Mr. Yan, please sit down!"

Liu Jing was very serious and asked Yan Yan to sit down, but was sitting opposite Yan Yan. Liu Jing sat on the other side. Several guards served them tea. Yan Yan bowed and said, "The emperor came to see His Highness the King of Han under the order of the Marquis of Wu. I believe that his highness had read the letter from Wu. Jiangdong was willing to do all his efforts to avoid this war with the greatest sincerity. I hope that your highness would take the people of Jiangdong as the thought of not applying war to the innocent people of Jiangdong."

Speaking of this, Yan Qing's voice choked a little, but Liu Jing snorted coldly, "Let me think about the people of Jiangdong, but what do you do? How many people leave their hometowns and flee from Jiangdong, how many innocent children lose their relatives, the people in Jiangdong are in great trouble, and people live in poverty. Is this what I, Liu Jing, do? Mr. Yan, please touch your conscience and think about it. Do the people of Jiangdong hope that I, Liu Jing, will save them, or do you hope that I, Liu Jing, turn around?"

Liu Jing became more and more angry as he spoke. He stood up and walked to the window, pushed open the window of the boat. After a while, he said hatefully: "Hundreds of thousands of Jiangdong surnames left their hometowns and fled to Han. They all said that Jiangdong taxes were heavier than Mount Tai, and the officials in Jiangdong were more cruel than wolves. They levyed violent taxes and destroyed the people's families. This is what you think of the people. Sun Quan did not hesitate to poison the Jiangnan surname for his own selfishness. You officials did not dissuade them and served them, which was to help the evildoer!"

Liu Jing's words were like needles, and every sentence pierced Yan Yan's heart. He couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. After a while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness is right to scold you!"

"You can say this, it also means that you have self-knowledge."

Liu Jing calmed down his dissatisfaction for a moment, and then he said to Yan Yan sternly: "You go back and tell Sun Quan that I can't fight against Jiangdong. He must fulfill his conditions. First, immediately announce that the counties in Jiangdong will be exempted from annual taxes and rest with the people. After the New Year, they will implement 20-1 taxes and equal the Han Dynasty. Second, they must not block the choices of the people in Jiangdong. Where they want to go is their freedom, and they cannot forcibly stop them. Second, Jiangdong is Jiangdong of the Han Dynasty, not his private property of Sun's family. All usurpations must be removed, including palaces, concubines, officials, army and his power, and restore the county system. The county magistrates are appointed by the court, and the army is also the army of the court. The court should be appointed by the commander. Sun Quan has no right to establish his own army."

Yan Yan was stunned when he heard this. This article clearly deprived the Marquis of Wu. The officials were appointed by the court and the military generals were appointed by the court. So what else did Wu?

In fact, if you don’t need the last two items, the first one is enough to crush Jiangdong and exempt from annual taxes. The army had long been starved to death. Yan Yan knew that Liu Jingyan was insincere and had no sincerity in his conversation. He sighed in his heart and barely argued: “Marquis Wu is a county marquis after all, so it seems unreasonable to deprive him of his territory and army like this!”

Bo Xi, the next master, bowed and said, "The words of His Highness the King of Han are completely reasonable. According to the Han system, only the Duke of the State can be established above. Therefore, Duke of Wei was able to establish Wei, and His Highness of the King of Han was able to establish Han. The Duke of Wu was just a marquis of small counties. What qualifications are he qualified to lead a country by himself? He also appointed officials and ministers to seize the country. This is to plot against rebellion, and everyone in the world can attack it!"

Yan Yan was speechless and had to say, "Then the official will go and reply to the Marquis of Wu!"

Liu Jing nodded, "I will give you ten days at most. Within ten days, Sun Quan must complete the above points, and I will stop the troops and withdraw my troops, otherwise I will fight against the rebels on behalf of the heavens!"

Yan Yan felt sad and had to say goodbye. Liu Jing ordered the guards to send him away. At this time, Xi Zheng asked in a low voice: "Your Highness also knows that Sun Quan's separatist Jiangdong was a rebellious act, so why did he not issue an order to attack?"

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "Although Cao Cao can no longer interfere in my military attack on Jiangdong, he can still set up obstacles politically. If I issue an edict too early, Cao Cao will follow the flow and make heaven appoint Sun Quan as the King of Wu. I will be tied up by myself and will instead leave Wuming. Now I am unofficially, and Cao Cao cannot limit me. When the army finally comes to the city, it will not be too late to issue another edict."

Xi Zheng sincerely gave a thumbs up, "Your Highness is awesome!"

Liu Jing said lightly again: "When Yan Yu went to the Han army, how could the senior officials in Jiangdong not know? They will definitely ask him about the situation. By then, my conditions will be spread. Regardless of whether Sun Quan agrees or not, I will do my best to be kind and righteous."

Xi Zheng nodded silently. He suddenly felt an indescribable sympathy for Sun Quan. Having an enemy like the King of Han was also his misfortune.

At this time, a guard came in and whispered to Liu Jing. Liu Jing smiled at Xi Zheng and said, "I have something to do and I have to go out for a while. Lord Bo, please ask first!"

.........

In Wuhou’s study, Zhang Zhao, Bu Zhi and several other important officials were stunned and listened to Yan Yan’s report. They couldn’t help looking at each other. Liu Jing’s condition was clearly to let Jiangdong decide for himself. How could it be possible?

Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan worriedly, but saw that Sun Quan did not say a word and looked at the red pen in front of him in time. This red pen was also a thing of usurpation. Liu Jing's word "usurpation" hit Jiangdong's key.

Over the years, Cao Cao fought step by step to make the army and regime legal, and finally obtained the title of Duke Wei and was able to establish a country. Liu Jing also fought desperately and was eventually named King of Han, and he legitimately enjoyed the position of king of a country.

However, Sun Quan is still a county marquis. Cao Cao appointed him as Duke Wu twice, but he refused. He did not want to be controlled by the court at the time, but now it has become a handle for Liu Jing to attack Jiangdong.

No one usually takes it seriously, whether it is Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, or Liu Zhang, they are not secretly claiming to be emperors. Everyone is not surprised by it, and they are used to it. Jiangdong has been in power for many years, and it has become a common practice, and the world has become accustomed to it.

But once there is a need, the usurpation will immediately become the biggest handle for Jiangdong and the most sharp tool for the enemy. Liu Jing attacked Jiangdong with the excuse of usurpation, which makes people feel ridiculous, but when you think about it carefully, it is so terrifying again, which means that Liu Jing is famous for his successor.

Sun Quan sighed a long time and said extremely tiredly: "Everyone, please step back first! Let me be quiet for a while."

Indeed, everyone didn't know how to appease Sun Quan. Fortunately, Liu Jing gave ten days to let everyone think about it carefully. What should they do?

Everyone retreated, and Sun Quan stood up and said, "Go back to the harem and hold a night banquet!"

At this time, Sun Quan didn't want to think about anything. He just wanted to get drunk and forget all his worries.

...........

Yan Yan left Jianye Palace, almost one update, and he was really tired and was about to return to his own mansion in Moling City to rest. As soon as he got on the carriage, he saw someone running from the opposite side and stopped him, "Men, please stay!"

When the person approached, Yan Qi recognized that he was the deputy escort Zhuge Jin. He was stunned. It seemed that Zhuge Jin was not in the study just now, so why didn't Wu Hou let him participate in the meeting together?

Zhuge Jin got on the carriage and whispered: "My mansion is being monitored, so I can only wait for Man here."

"What happened?"

Yan Yan became more and more surprised. Zhuge Jin's mansion was actually being monitored. Who was monitoring him? After a second thought, he immediately realized that there would be no one except Wu Hou.

"How could the Marquis of Wu monitor Zhuge Gong?"

Zhuge Jin sighed and said, "It's hard to say anything. For the sake of the aid of Jiaozhou, Wu Hou was angry with me. We won't talk about this. I want to ask, what conditions did Liu Jing offer?"

Yan Yan didn't know if he should tell Zhuge Jin that he and Zhuge Jin both belonged to Zhang Zhao's northern faction. He usually had a good relationship and said anything. He usually would not hide such confidential matters from Zhuge Jin, but now is an extraordinary period, which really makes Yan Yan a little difficult to deal with.

However, Yan Yan thought that many people knew about it, and the news would be spread tomorrow. It doesn’t matter if he said it now. He sighed softly and said, “Liu Jing proposed a condition that Wu Hou could not do at all.”

He then told Zhuge Jin about Liu Jing's conditions, and finally shook his head and said, "I can see that Wu Hou was desperate, and even the military advisor was speechless. Liu Jing gave him ten days. This was clearly for the Jiangdong official to choose. Does Zhuge Gong have any ideas?"

Zhuge Jin shook his head, "I am very confused now and don't know what to do. Thank you, Xie Man, to tell me the secret."

"This matter is absolutely confidential. Mr. Zhuge must not tell anyone to avoid causing confusion."

"I know, I will keep the secret."
