At night, Lu Su left Chaisang City from the water gate in a small boat and slowly sailed towards the north bank of the river. The ship gradually approached the temporary water camp of the Jiangxia army. The so-called temporary water camp is a large ship connected to the sterns, forming an outer defense.

Lu Su's boat was two miles away from the temporary water camp of Jiangxia Army. Several patrol boats found him, and the soldiers shouted: "Who is it?"

Lu Su hurriedly said loudly: "I am the envoy of the Marquis of Wu, and I am ordered to ask for the Lord of Liuzhou."

A whistleboat approached, and the garrison commander recognized Lu Su, "It turned out to be Duke Lu."

"It's exactly" Lu Su smiled and bowed: "I'm here to see you, the governor of the state, please take me into the village."

"Please follow us." Lu Su came to Jiangxia many times, and the soldiers knew him.

The whistleboat led Lu Su's ship into the water camp and waited for a while at the entrance of the camp. Dong Yun, the military officer in the recording room, quickly met him.

"Duke of Lu, the governor of the state is invited"

"It's time for Dong to join the army."

Lu Su smiled and followed Dong Yun into the camp and headed towards the central army's tent. The Jiangxia army camp had not been completed yet. He planned the road and set up tents. The soldiers came and went, and the camp was very busy.

"Why join the army, how is the provincial governor feeling today?" Lu Su asked with a smile, but carefully.

Lu Su knew the heavy responsibility he was shouldering this time, and he was very nervous, and even felt that Liu Jing's mood would affect the results of his peace request this time.

Dong Yun felt Lu Su's nervousness and smiled slightly and said, "Does Lu Gong think the mood of the governor of the state affect the overall situation?"

Lu Su also laughed and breathed a sigh of relief. He was a little worried.

In the big tent, Liu Jing paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, patiently waiting for news from Lu Su. Frankly speaking, Liu Jing did not expect Lu Su to come, but Lu Su's arrival did not surprise him.

Of course he knew why Lu Su came, the collapse of Cheng Pu's army and the opening of the northern gate of Jiangdong already indicate the failure of Sun Quan's Western Expedition.

As a rational leader of Jiangdong, Sun Quan would never sit still and wait for death. He would inevitably escape with the lowest price. Lu Su's arrival was just a test of what price Jiangdong would need to pay.

As for Liu Jing, he was also eager to end the war with Jiangdong and concentrate on expanding the west, but he must have a long-term strategic vision and must take this opportunity to fight Jiangdong. Otherwise, Jiangdong will make a comeback when he has no time to take care of Jingzhou. In this battle, he must ensure that Jiangdong is unable to fight west within ten years.

At the same time, he could not beat him hard, so he could take advantage of the opportunity. He had to seize this so that Sun Quan would not dare to fight the west again, but he would preserve a certain degree of strength. The best way was to defeat the other party psychologically and make Jiangdong afraid of Jingzhou from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, the personal soldiers came to report, "Qi Bizhou Governor, Lu Su has already entered the account."

Liu Jing nodded, sat down, like an old monk entering into meditation, entering a state of meditation.

Lu Su followed Dong Yun into a big tent. What surprised him was that the person waiting for him in the tent was not Liu Jing, but Jia Xu. Lu Su was stunned and looked back at Dong Yun, meaning that, why is it not Liu Zhoumu

Jia Xu smiled, "Zhou Mu was feeling a little uncomfortable, so I asked me to receive Duke Lu for him. Please sit down."

Lu Su suddenly realized that Liu Jing must have seen through that he was just coming for temptation. Of course, he would not show off too early, but instead hid in the tent, pushed Jia Xu to the front desk, and also came to test himself. Thinking of this, Lu Su smiled helplessly, bowed and sat down.

Dong Yun ordered the soldiers to serve tea, and he also sat aside. He participated in meeting Lu Su as an officer in the record room, which was enough to show Liu Jing's importance to this talk. Dong Yun's existence was a gesture of showing sincerity.

Lu Su pondered for a moment and said, "We captured nearly two thousand Jiangxia prisoners of war in the Battle of Chaisang, and wanted to talk to you about the issue of exchange of prisoners of war."

Jia Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It turns out that Duke Lu is just here to talk about the issue of prisoners of war, so I don't need to participate. I will invite General Gan. He will be responsible for the issue of prisoners of war. Duke Lu is asked to sit down for a while."

After saying that, he got up and was about to leave, Lu Su was anxious and hurriedly said, "Power of War is only one aspect, and there are other important matters to discuss with the army. Please ask Military Commander Jia to stay."

Jia Xu sat down again, smiled without saying a word, waiting for Lu Su to continue talking. Lu Su already knew that he had seen through Jia Xu, and he could no longer go around and his sex was straight to the point.

Lu Su pondered for a moment and said, "Because Shanyue is causing trouble in Kuaiji, the internal unstable within Jiangdong, Wu Hou wants to end this battle, so he specially ordered me to discuss with your army."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Yun next to him said angrily: "Tear up the agreement without authorization and capture my Chaisang. When we are a vegetable garden in Jingzhou, we can come whenever we want and leave whenever we want. Is there such a good thing?"

Jia Xu waved his hand, stopped Dong Yun's anger, and said with a smile: "Of course you can discuss anything. As long as Wu Hou can show enough sincerity, I think my lord will definitely remember the brotherhood with Wu Hou and send Wu Hou back to Jiangdong."

Lu Su blushed and said for a while: "I don't know what the sincerity of the military advisor is, can you tell Su clearly."

"Haha, there are only a few small requests."

"Military advisor, please tell me"

Jia Xu smiled like a fox and said slowly: "The first request is to hope that the Changsun Deng, the Marquis of Wu, came to Jiangxia to study."

The first request was unacceptable. To put it nicely, what is coming to Jiangxia to study? It is clearly a hostage to Jiangxia. And she is still young and is less than one year old. How could she come to Jingzhou?

He hurriedly said, "Mr. Wu intends to betroth his sister, Princess Shangxiang, to Marquis Chu as his subordinate wife. The Jing and Wu families have made Qin and Jin love each other. I think this is enough to show the sincerity of Marquis Wu. Marquis Wu is young and I will be spared from studying in Jiangxia."

Jia Xu laughed, "This is a good thing, but I also have to ask the provincial governor if he is willing. In addition, wouldn't Wu Hou ask for the old country of Wu? Let's discuss this matter later. Of course, we also know that Wu Hou is young, so we can discuss it again."

Lu Su understood Jia Xu's meaning, and neither said it was OK nor said it was impossible. In other words, Sun Deng refused to cancel the Jingzhou policy for qualifying, but there was room for negotiation, which means that other conditions could be exchanged.

He nodded, "Please continue talking by Junshu Jia."

"There is still a note behind, I'll tell you together."

Jia Xu's attitude became serious and his tone became very firm. He used changes in attitude to indicate that the noodles were not allowed to be discussed later. "The second article is compensation. We ask Jiangdong to compensate 10,000 stones of grain, and allow compensation to be cleared within five years; the first article is that Jiangdong cannot own warships of more than five stones, and all warships of more than five stones must be destroyed; the fourth article will open trade, and Jiangdong cannot prohibit trade with Jingzhou, including iron ore and grain trade, must be liberalized."

Lu Su seemed to step into the abyss step by step. He felt bitter in his heart and sweated coldly on his back. Except for the fourth one, it was acceptable, Wu Hou would not accept any other one. It was harsh and would kill Jiangdong.

Lu Su sighed, "Except for the fourth item, I can agree, I have no right to agree to the rest. I can only go back to report to Wu Hou and ask Military Advisor Jia to tell Liu Zhoumu, hoping that he can be rational and calm, and bring up some clauses that Jiangdong can accept. After all, Su said goodbye."

Jia Xu winked Dong Yun, and Dong Yun stood up and said, "I'll send Duke Lu out."

Lu Su was dissatisfied and turned around and left angrily. However, Jia Xu smiled and watched him go away, and then he went out of the tent to see Liu Jing.

He walked to the central army tent and said to the guards: "Please report to the governor of the state for me."

"No need to report, please ask the military advisor."

Jia Xu walked into the tent and saw Liu Jing standing in front of the map with his hands behind his back. He asked with a smile: "Is Zhou Mu really that calm?"

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "The meeting will end so soon. Of course I know what the result is, so there is no need to look forward to it."

“But there are unexpected gains.”

"Oh what is it?" Liu Jing asked curiously.

"Wu Hou wanted to betroth Princess Shangxiang to Zhou Mu as his subordinate wife to follow Qin and Jin's favor. Isn't this an unexpected gain?"

Liu Jing said with a bitter face: "I don't dare to marry that Princess Yonglie. She will stab me to death on the couch in the middle of the night."

Jia Xu laughed loudly, and even the guards next to him couldn't help laughing out loud. Liu Jing turned around and glared at the guards, and asked again: "What else can I get?"

"There is nothing else. I guess the provincial governor is not interested in exchange for prisoners of war. It can be seen that Sun Quan wants to get out at the lowest cost, so the four conditions proposed by the provincial governor, except for the fourth one, which can be agreed, they cannot accept the rest."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu asked in a low voice: "Is it a little cruel to have ten thousand stones of grain?"

Liu Jing smiled, "Since Sun Quan wants to do business, I will naturally offer a price all over the place. If he doesn't agree, then fight him. If he beat him up, he will naturally agree. Isn't that the case for war?"

Jia Xu nodded and praised sincerely: "The lord is getting more and more wise."

Liu Jing glanced at Jia Xu, and Jia Xu actually called his lord. It seemed that he really wanted to recognize his master.

Jia Xu did not realize his mentality changed. He pondered for a while and added: "Since Sun Quan asked for peace, it means he had the intention to retreat. In order to prevent the Jiangdong army from evacuating from the mainland, we suggest that we strengthen the surveillance of the mainland."

Liu Jing nodded, "It's really necessary."

Lu Su returned to Chaisang with great worries. The boat followed the Caohe River and entered the first water gate. There was a urn city inside. There was another water gate before entering the inner city. As soon as he entered the urn city, a cold voice from a young woman came from the shore next to him, "Lu joins the army, you are leaving the city without authorization, where have you gone?"

When Lu Su turned around, it turned out to be Princess Shangxiang, holding a sharp spear in his hand and staring at him coldly. Lu Su hurriedly bowed and said, "Reply to the princess' words, Lu Su was ordered by the Marquis of Wu to leave the city, not without authorization."

After saying that, he took out Sun Quan's gold medal and showed it to Sun Shangxiang, but Sun Shangxiang ignored his trick. With a swing of the spear in his hand, the sharp spear tip pressed against Lu Su's chest and snorted, "Lu Jun, tell the truth, have you gone to see Liu Jing?"

The reason why Sun Shangxiang was so threatening Lu Su was because she met Bu Zhi just now, and Bu Zhi congratulated her with a strange smile, which made her confused.

Although Sun Shangxiang is a brave and strong daughter, she also has the smart side of Bingxue. She understands what it means to say congratulations to an unmarried woman, which must be related to her lifelong event. When she heard that Lu Su had left the city, she felt confused and stood in the urn and waited for him to come back.

Lu Su felt a stinging pain in his chest, and the spear tip pierced into his skin. He could only sigh and said, "This is a military and national event, why should the princess interfere?"

"Hmph, I don't care about military and national affairs. I just want to swear that your going out has nothing to do with me."

Lu Su looked puzzled. He was not a lie. How could he swear?

When he was hesitating, Sun Shangxiang immediately noticed it. She grabbed Lu Su's collar, pulled him ashore, pulled out the Qingyue sword and pressed his neck, gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice: "Do you think your brother wants to marry me to Liu Jing?"

Lu Su smiled bitterly and said, "Liu Jing is a hero in the world, and is extremely heroic and of the princess. Does the princess still look down on him?"

"Pooh"

Sun Shangxiang looked angry, "Who wants to marry him? He is an enemy in Jiangdong. I want to kill him but can't. Don't say that I have married him, just dream."

Lu Su shook his head and said sadly: "It may be difficult for the princess to marry him even if she wants to marry him. Jiang Xia's conditions are harsh and we cannot accept it. Princess should not think too much."

Sun Shangxiang wanted to ask what conditions, but after a change of thought, this was not what she should ask. She let go of Lu Su and said hatefully: "Since you dare to fight the West, you should have the courage to bear the courage to fail. A real man died in the battlefield and a son could inherit his career. What's there to talk about? The elder brother insisted on humiliating himself and losing his reputation as a father and brother, which would only make the world unsatisfied."

Lu Su couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring. He felt a little ashamed. His knowledge and courage were not as good as a woman. He nodded silently, "The princess scolded her well, but this matter is of great importance. Don't reveal it. Mr. Wu reminded me again."
