Chapter 1577 Peace talks? Fraud?

Lu Meng's aura made the Jiaozhou civil and military officials present feel that Lu Meng was not joking.

"Haha!" Shi Yi laughed and pointed at Lu Meng and said, "Lu Ziming, you really think that there is no one in Jiaozhou when you say this. You Dongwu can now face the attack of Emperor Shenwu. What army is there? It's simply nonsense!"

Shi Yi's words were indeed focused on the key points.

"Nonsense, it's simply a reckless man!" Shi Zhuo scolded Lu Meng excitedly.

Lu Meng looked at Shi Xie calmly and said lightly: "Sir, do you believe it?"

Regardless of whether others believe it or not, as long as Shi Xie believes it.

Lu Meng stared at Shi Xie impolitely, showing a trace of murderous aura, and said, "Mr. Governor. You stabbed the sword in the back when our country was in danger. Our Lord and Mr. Wu were furious. The Sun family had been people with clear grudges for several generations. Even if our army could not stop the army of the Shenwu court, can't we take the lives of the entire Jiaozhou Shi family to take care of it?"

As soon as these words were said, Lu Meng's words just now became more gentle, and this time he was threatening them nakedly.

"Bastard!" Shi Xie's sons drew their swords one after another and surrounded Lu Meng in an instant. They could not tolerate threatening their entire family.

Several steel knives have been pressed on Lu Meng's body, and Lu Meng can become a hornet's nest at any time.

Lu Meng was not afraid at all. He looked around for a week and said coldly: "It's not that I'm joking. You dare to hurt me. I promise that my lord, Wuchang Marquis, will you all be buried with me!"

At this time, Lu Meng looked at life and death very lightly. Lu Meng had seen people who had seen big scenes, such as Shi Hui and others, and it was simply not enough to see him.

If you want to make Lu Meng scared, you will be able to do so unless you are a peerless general like Lu Bu and Dian Wei.

"You are looking for death!" Shigan was about to chop down at Lu Meng with a steel knife in his hand.

Shi Xie hurriedly stopped and said, "Go and do it!"

Shigan immediately withdrew the steel knife and stared at Lu Meng fiercely.

Shi Xie stared at Lu Meng and said, "The two armies are fighting, and the envoys will not be killed. For the sake of sending back the body of your third brother, I will not make things difficult for you. Please tell your master Sun Quan, where my scholar Wei Yan asked him to come from and where he went back! If you think you are self-righteous, the soldiers under my command will not let Sun Quan continue to be rampant! Come and see off the guests!"

Speaking of this, Lu Meng knew that his mission had been completed.

"It seems that Lord Governor hasn't figured it out yet. It's okay, I won't stay for a long time. See you later!" Lu Meng turned around and wanted to leave.

But Shi Hui and others did not mean to let Lu Meng go.

Lu Meng gently pushed away the steel knife blocking him with his fingers, and then walked out of the conference hall with a laugh.

That expression and expression were mocking Jiaozhou. Lu Meng left with a swagger, and the whole country of Jiaozhou could not do anything to him.

"Father, this guy Lu Meng is so arrogant! He just let him go!" Shigan said unwillingly.

Shi Xie glanced at Shi and said coldly: "If you don't let him go, are you going to kill him? Let me take the reputation of killing envoys on my back for nothing?"

Shi Gan was glanced at by Shi Xie and immediately became cowardly. Shi Gan was the most impulsive one among Shi Xie's sons. He was cowardly, so of course the others did not dare to do anything randomly.

Shi Xie regained his calm expression and said, "Second brother, fourth brother stay, the rest of the people are all out!"

At Shi Xie's order, everyone else went out.

The taxi who was unhappy just now, who was dissatisfied with Lu Meng, who left swayed and encouraged the other brothers to intercept Lu Meng together.

Then, Shi Hui, who was the eldest brother, raised him up and scolded him: "If you dare to violate your father's orders, you don't need your father to do anything. For your brother, you will immediately let you know what regret means!"

Among the Shixie brothers, the old master Shixie is the most respected. Among Shixie's sons, Shihui is also the most awesome. No other younger brothers dare to disobey his intentions.

"Brother, I'm joking." Shigan didn't dare to bare his teeth at Shihui. That was a bloody lesson.

Shi Hui then let go of the soldiers and said to all the brothers: "Go back and prepare immediately! When Lu Meng returns this time, the war between our army and Sun Quan will begin soon. If someone's slackness causes an accident, don't blame me for being polite!"

As the eldest brother, Shi Hui had great intimidation, so his younger brothers just stood attentively and saluted to express their determination.

In the conference hall, Shi Xie covered his head and asked Shi Zhuo and Shi Yi: "Two brothers, Sun Quan seems to be sure to be the one who can fight us this time. Our army must fight with him. Can you have any good plans?"

In the past, Shi Xie would not ask Shi Zhuo and Shi Yi about war. But Sun Quan was different. The last time he and Lu Xun defeated the Jiaozhou Army and were very familiar with the combat style of the Jiaozhou Army. But according to Lu Meng's meaning, Sun Quan was determined to take Jiaozhou.

Shi Xie was very uneasy about this.

As a defeated general, Shiqiu could only provide how powerful Dongwu was. If you want to talk about a plan, it depends on Shiyi.

As a wise man, Shi Yi deeply considered the pros and cons between going to war and peace talks.

Shi Xie knew that it was time to rely on Shi Yi's head now, and he was patient and waiting for Shi Yi's answer.

After almost a cup of tea, Shi Yi finally finished his calculations and looked at Shi Xie.

Shi Xie and Shi Zhuo waited for a long time, but now there is finally a way.

Shi Yi said, "Brother, I think we can't fight with Sun Quan and need to negotiate with him!"

"What?" Shi Xie and Shi Zhuo were stunned. Shi Yi had been thinking for so long, but he thought of this?

When Lu Meng came to Huicheng, he came with Shiwu's body. When he went back, he became much more relaxed and ran directly on his war horse.

Lu Meng was very relieved about whether Jiaozhou would rush out and intercept it. He rode a good war horse, and it was impossible for the Jiaozhou army to catch up. Well, Lu Meng has always been doing things steadily and preventing problems before they happen.

To put it bluntly, Lu Meng was still afraid.

The only thing that can be thankful is that there were no pursuers along the way, and Lu Meng was able to safely return to the camp where Sun Quan was.

Sun Quan led some troops into the territory of Huicheng and found an area that was easy to defend and difficult to attack as a camp.

Lu Meng's return made Sun Quan a little happy, and he immediately ordered someone to bring Lu Meng.

"Zi Ming, thank you for your hard work! Come on, drink a bowl of water first!" Sun Quan greeted Lu Meng intimately and brought a bowl of tea himself.

Such a small action moved Lu Meng very much. He took the tea from Sun Quan without hesitation and drank it all in one go.

After drinking the tea, Lu Meng said directly to Sun Quan: "Lord, I will come back from Huicheng this time and meet Shi Xie, and there are other members of the Shi family. I followed the lord's instructions and forced them to negotiate with the lord. However, Shi Xie was firm in his attitude and showed no sign of letting go."

"It's normal for Shi Xie to let go." Sun Quan's face was calm, as he expected. "Can anyone else in the Jiaozhou army have other opinions?"

Lu Meng replied honestly: "Lord, Shi Xie's brothers and sons seem to want to go to war with our army. But I am very surprised that Shi Xie's subordinates didn't even say a word. If they hadn't shown murderous intentions to Mo Jiang, Mo Jiang would have thought they were wooden men."

"There is still this? It seems that Shi Xie has a very strong grasp of his subordinates." Sun Quan knew the beads with keen eyes, and from Lu Meng's description, he could see Shi Xie's control over his subordinates.

Sun Quan silently eliminated the plan of divisiveness he had prepared. Originally, Sun Quan was thinking of borrowing Lu Meng to serve as an envoy to see if Shi Xie's command could operate the plan of divisiveness. Now it seems that this plan of divisiveness is going to be in vain.

"Lord, Shi Xie has a firm attitude. What will our army do next?" Lu Meng asked.

Sun Quan pondered for a moment, and then said, "Shi Xie is about to fight, of course I can't let him down! I will send the order and the whole army is on guard. After dinner, we will set off immediately."

Lu Meng knew that Sun Quan's move must have profound meaning, so he immediately made arrangements.

Just as Lu Meng conveyed the order, the soldiers brought by Sun Quan were all making supper, and Shi Xie actually sent an envoy to ask for Sun Quan.

When Sun Quan received the news, he looked incredible. Sun Quan learned from Lu Meng that Shi Xie's attitude was to start a war, and he had already thought of a plan. But just when Sun Quan was about to start the plan, Shi Xie sent an envoy, and Sun Quan felt strange.

"What's going on with this Shi Xie?" Lu Meng was also full of doubts.

Sun Quan didn't think too long and sent a personal soldier to bring in the envoy of Shi Xie. It was not the turn of Sun Quan to greet him.

"Zhang Qi, the governor of Jiaozhou, has met the Marquis!" Zhang Qi was on the spot when Lu Meng and Shi Xie were talking, and now he was in the same posture as Lu Meng, which was very rude.

He was arrogant and rude in front of Sun Quan, and really didn't know how to write the word "death".

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Qi and said to Lu Meng: "Zi Ming, this person is arrogant! Drag it out and behead you!"

"Yes!" Lu Meng slapped Zhang Qi without saying a word, then lifted Zhang Qi up and walked out of the big tent.

"Oh!? Master, please spare your life! The two armies are fighting, and the envoys will not be killed!" Zhang Qi was frightened. Lu Meng's slap made him see that he was really going to kill him.

"Hmph! Are you here to serve as an envoy? Even if your governor sees my master, he will bow. You, a little Jiaozhou deputy, cannot kneel down when you see my master, and you should be killed!" Lu Meng looked at Zhang Qi coldly, and he would draw his sword to kill people at any time.

Lu Meng is really going to kill someone.

"Mr. Marquis, you should die! Please give me a lot of them! Let me spare the young one." Zhang Qi is a literati, who can withstand Lu Meng's murderous aura so much.

Sun Quan felt that the temperature was almost the same and gave Lu Meng a wink.

Lu Meng put Zhang Qi down easily.

Zhang Qi hurriedly knelt down for Sun Quan, but this time he was beaten instead of pretending to be beaten.

"Why did Shi Xie send you here? Remember, this marquis has limited time!" Sun Quan said gloomyly.

Zhang Qi shook all over and said honestly: "The governor sent a young man to come here to talk to you, Marquis."

"Peace talk?" Sun Quan frowned. "Can you actually represent Shi Xie?"

As Sun Quan's confidant, Lu Meng immediately stood up and scolded: "Peace talk? Send a small person like you to have a peace talk! It's simply despising my master!"

Zhang Qi was so scared that he dared not represent Shi Xie. It was just that he was too nervous just now that he said it too simply.

"The little one's death penalty! The little one said it was soon! It was the governor who sent the little one to come and invite the marquis to discuss the truce with the West Lake twenty miles outside Huicheng at noon tomorrow!" Zhang Qi finally explained the words clearly.

Sun Quan was thinking in his mind that Shi Xie asked him to go to West Lake twenty miles away from Huicheng for negotiations. Will there be any conspiracy here?

Lu Meng also felt that Shi Xie had a conspiracy, and he was worried that Shi Xie would arrange an ambush during the negotiations, so that would be in danger.

Sun Quan did not speak, and Lu Meng could not speak, after all, Sun Quan was the lord.

"Your Lord wanted to fight to the death with me before! Why are you sending me to talk to you now? Turning against each other is like turning a book, making me unable to believe your Lord's sincerity." Sun Quan expressed his concerns without any hesitation.

Zhang Qi had already emerged from the panic just now and now entered the state of an envoy, and replied: "When the Marquis said, my master had many children and civil and military officials before, and it was related to sensitivity, so my master naturally couldn't express his opinion. Please understand."

Lu Meng really wanted to laugh. This guy is the messenger of Jiaozhou. Is there really no one in Jiaozhou? Zhang Qi's words meant to belittle Shi Xie. As a subordinate, he actually belittled his lord in front of the enemy commander. No wonder Lu Meng said that there was no one in Jiaozhou.

Sun Quan thought of more, and he said to Zhang Qi: "I will believe you for the time being. I agree to the peace talks. But I have one condition!"

Zhang Qi felt a little relieved when he heard Sun Quan agreeing to the peace talks. Sun Quan wanted to put forward another condition, and Zhang Qi's little heart couldn't help but jump. If the conditions proposed by Sun Quan were too harsh, Zhang Qi would be a little difficult to explain.

"I wonder what the marquis has?" Zhang Qi asked carefully.

Sun Quan said directly: "For the sincerity and safety of both sides, Shi Xie must meet with me in person, and only ten guards can be brought by his side!"

When Zhang Qi heard that this was such a condition, he felt relieved, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Marquis, I will go back and convey it to my master immediately."

This was the first time Zhang Qi smiled when he arrived at Sun Quan.

"Send out the guests!" Sun Quan asked Lu Meng to take Zhang Qi out without saying a word.

Zhang Qi left the camp of Dongwu under the care of Lu Meng with great gratitude.

After staying away from the Eastern Wu Camp, Zhang Qi felt that the pressure on him was cleared and his whole body was different.

"Hey! This errand is really not done by humans. Why can't I be as majestic as that Lu Meng?" Zhang Qi compared Lu Meng's enthusiasm on Shi Xie's side. He was like a weak lamb in front of Sun Quan, and the contrast was too big.
