After capturing Jiang Gan, Zhang Cheng quickly regretted it. The Tianlong Empire's army concentrated in Lujiang and Shouchun. Various ships on the Yangtze River also began to gather. Shatou Town became the largest military port. Warships coming from all over the country passed by and began to cruise in the waters east of Wu State. All Wu State ships, whether merchant ships or warships, were seized. The atmosphere of the war became increasingly intense.
According to Zhuge Jin's suggestion, there has been no news from Zhang Cheng's envoy to Xuzhou. The main reason is that Zang Ba felt that he could not offend Long Fei, so he had to keep silent. The whole country of Wu fell into chaos, and the court accused Zhang More and more people acted recklessly, and some even began to write to the emperor, demanding that Zhang Cheng be handed over to appease Long Fei's anger.
Ever since Jiang Gan was detained that day, people have been asking for Jiang Gan's release. Zhang Cheng didn't take it to heart. He didn't believe that Long Fei really wanted to fight. However, the various performances in the past few days have shown the problem. Zhang Cheng couldn't sit still. .
They sent people to release Jiang Gan, but to their surprise, Jiang Gan stayed in the cell and refused to leave. Even if Zhang Cheng came in person, Jiang Gan still said: "I am the envoy of the Tianlong Empire. You can arrest or release if you want." Just let it go, where will the face of my empire be? Unless Zhang Fen comes out, I will consider whether to go out."
Zhang Cheng couldn't kill Zhang Fen. He was his younger brother and was loyal to him. Faced with all kinds of dangers, Zhang Cheng felt powerless and the feeling of exhaustion made him completely helpless.
Sun Xiu said: "Just fight! Let Long Fei see how powerful we are!"
Zhuge Jin shook his head: "We can't fight. If we really fight, with the strength of the Dragon Army, we have no room to fight back."
"But we have been forced to the doorstep, is it possible to surrender?"
"It's even more impossible to surrender. How can Liu Bei, Cao Pi and those who surrender have a good end? Either they disappear for no reason, or they are like walking corpses." Zhuge Jin was also at a loss: "Cao Pi is still Long Fei's uncle, we may die without a burial. land."
"Then what should we do? We can neither fight nor surrender. They have already prepared their troops. How can we just wait here?"
Zhang Cheng sighed: "Tomorrow I will go to Tianlao again to see what the plague god wants. I can agree to anything except killing Fendi."
Jiang Gan has not suffered much since he was imprisoned. Especially in the recent period, the cell door has been open all the time, and those people are eager for him to leave quickly, but Jiang Gan refuses to leave. He once thought about not giving Jiang Gan food, but he He would naturally leave when he was hungry. Unexpectedly, Jiang Gan would not go out even if he died. He was worried that Jiang Gan would starve to death, so he had to serve him delicious food at every meal, which made the people in the cell next to him salivate.
When Zhang Cheng came, Jiang Gan was reading a book with his back to the small window. These books were bought by the jailers themselves after Jiang Gan listed them. Apart from the poor environment, other things about staying in this cell are very good, except for the poor quality. The clothes came, the food came, and the food came to open the mouth.
"How are you, Mr. Jiang?" Zhang Cheng walked into the cell alone and saw that Jiang Gan had only eaten half of the food he had brought to him. He immediately turned around and said angrily: "What's going on? Why don't you get something delicious for Mr. Jiang?" Meals?”
The jailer felt that the scolding was unjust, but he did not dare to reply. Zhang Cheng smiled again: "Sir, this place is not very good. Why don't you come with me? I have arranged a room in the Yingbin Building. , it’s much better there than here.”
Jiang Gan didn't even raise his eyes from reading, and asked lightly: "Where is Zhang Fen's head? I didn't go out until I saw Zhang Fen's head."
"Hahaha!" Zhang Chengqiang suppressed his anger and put on a smile: "Sir, you were joking. Fendi was confused for a moment. I asked him to think about his faults. Let's go to the Yingbin Building. I will immediately send someone to capture Fendi and give him to him personally.
Apologize, sir."
"No need, I know very well how your Wu Kingdom treats guests. I will deal with you when Sun Ce is here. Isn't it that our dragon army is approaching the city and the Great Sima is worried?"
Zhang Chengzhen wanted to kill Jiang Qian with a sword, but finally held back: "Sir, you are joking, our Wu Kingdom and the Tianlong Empire have been friends for generations. We have been good brothers since our old master Sun Jian. How to destroy the swordsmanship is really at our fault.
If you let your husband suffer, I will once again take care of him for Fendi."
Jiang Gan looked at Zhang Cheng for a long time and said, "Do you really want to let me go? Are you afraid that I will go back and tell our Majesty the matter, and then lead an army to destroy the Kingdom of Wu?"
"Sir is still talking angrily!" Zhang Cheng said: "As long as you agree to go out, I will agree to any conditions."
"In that case, I can consider it!" Jiang Qian finally relented, and Zhang Cheng was overjoyed: "Sir, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best."
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll let you know when I think about it. If there's nothing else, please come back, right?"
Zhang Cheng was tricked by Jiang Gan, but he didn't dare to get angry at that time. When he got home, he threw things and cursed people. The servants were so frightened that they didn't dare to come near. Zhang Xiu was furious: "Long Fei bullied people too much. I'm going to do it now."
Go kill Jiang Gan and fight to the death with Long Jun! The worst possible outcome is death in battle, so there is no need to be so humble."
After throwing the things, Zhang Cheng sat down on the ground. He waved his hands to the picture: "My father-in-law said, no fighting, absolutely no fighting. We are surrounded by enemies on all sides now, and there is no chance of winning."
"Then you can't beg him cowardly!"
The two brothers started to quarrel in front of all the servants. A jailer hurried in and said, "Da Sima, Da Sima, Jiang Qian is here to invite you!"
"Really? Let's go!" Zhang Cheng felt that the turning point had come, and he quickly got up and followed the jailer to the sky prison. Jiang Gan was still sitting where he had done in the morning. When Zhang Cheng came in, Jiang Gan spoke first this time.
"Da Sima, I've thought about it!" Jiang Qian said in a leisurely manner, but Zhang Cheng's letter was mentioned at the door of his heart. I don't know how Jiang Qian will open his mouth. Jiang Qian said: "I thought about it carefully, I can't be
You detained Zhuo Tian in vain, so be it, your dream of surrendering Kuaiji County will be considered as compensation."
"What?" Zhang Cheng shouted and stood up: "Kuiji is one of the three major counties of our Wu Kingdom. I have already given Lujiang and Yuzhang to you. What? You still think it is not enough and you ask for Kuaiji. This is
We, the Wu State, must be forced to think more clearly."
Jiang Gan didn't find Zhang Cheng's reaction strange at all. He sat there quietly and looked at Zhang Cheng with a smile. After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he said: "This is my request. If Da Sima doesn't agree,
Then I don’t plan to go back.”
"You!" Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth, his hand already on the hilt of the sword, and he finally held back.
When they heard about Jiang Qian's request for Kuaiji County, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Fen and Zhang Cheng behaved the same way. Only Zhuge Jin didn't say a word. Zhang Cheng couldn't bear the noise, so he sternly told them to shut up.
Zhuge Jin looked at the side and said: "Father-in-law, what should we do now? Jiang Qianliu opened his mouth and gave us the remaining places in Kuaiji. I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for even a month."
Zhuge Jin shook his head: "Does the wise son-in-law have any other ideas? Our goal now is to find ways to prevent Long Fei from sending troops. Losing one Kuaiji is better than the entire Wu State, right?"
"Kuiji is one of the three main counties in Jiangdong. If we give it to Long Fei, half of the six counties will be gone. There is still Shatou Town in these remaining places. What's the point of Wu State!" Zhang Xiu finally said
Understanding Wu Guo's current situation, he turned around and glared at Zhang Fen: "It's all your fault. No one was arrested, but Jiang Gan was arrested and caused such a big mess. What do you think we should do!"
Zhang Fen was really depressed when he was told: "Okay, doesn't he want my head? Just give it to him!"
"Nonsense! You two, be quiet!" Zhang Cheng stopped him again: "If your head could solve the problem, I would have chopped it off long ago. Just stay well and stop causing trouble."
It was already very late. The lights were still brightly lit in Da Sima's mansion, and Zhang Cheng couldn't sleep. He always thought that he was better than anyone else, but now it seems that he is far behind Lu Su. Although Long Fei no longer had Jiangdong's eyes at that time, he
It was also the case that the army was pressing down, but Lu Su could command it well so that the Long army could not take advantage of it. Now, after being plotted by Long Fei again and again, only half of the good Wu Kingdom was left.
Zhang Fen broke into the sky prison with a sword in his hand and went straight to Jiang Gan's cell angrily. He kicked open the door and saw that Jiang Gan was sleeping soundly. The loud snoring became more and more annoying. Zhang Fen gritted his teeth and carried the
The sword approached Jiang Gan little by little. He had already raised the sword. In Zhang Fen's view, all this was caused by Jiang Gan. Killing Jiang Gan and Long Fei refused to admit his guilt, Long Fei couldn't even measure him.
If you can't find the reason, you can not only vent your anger, but also retain Kuaiji.
Just when Zhang Fen's sword was about to hit Jiang Gan's lower abdomen, Ding! There was a soft sound and a pebble hit Zhang Fen's sword blade. The sword deflected and Zhang Fen missed the point. Zhang Cheng shouted loudly: "
Fendi, stop, what do you want to do?"
j Jiang Gan was woken up from his sleep. When he opened his eyes and saw a shining sword right in front of him, he was startled. When he regained his composure, he laughed out loud: "Sure enough, the Zhang brothers only do this kind of thing."
It's a sneaky business, good! If you have to kill or cut off the alkene, if I, Jiang Gan, frown, I won't be a man!"
Zhang Cheng quickly grabbed Zhang Fen and said: "Sir, you are wrong. We are not here to kill you, but I am personally taking Fen's brother to apologize to you. At the same time, it is also a good thing for you to be happy. Your Majesty has agreed to give up Kuaiji.
Fendi, why don’t you quickly apologize to sir?”
Zhang Fen was reluctant, but couldn't stand the look in his eldest brother's eyes. He symbolically raised his hand to Jiang Gan, then turned and left. Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Sir, don't blame me. Brother Fen is young, so please forgive me. Since
My Majesty has agreed to your request. Can you leave from here? I live in the Yingbin Building. I have sent people to tidy it up again. It is much better than here."
Jiang Qian took out a document that had been prepared for the cession of Kuaiji from his arms, and held it in front of Zhang Cheng with both hands: "Don't worry, please ask Lord Sima to change this back and cover it with the seal of the Emperor of Wu, and I will go out naturally.
I appreciate Mr. Zhang’s kindness and please forgive me.”
