Liu Bei was in a great victory and was about to issue a military order to take advantage of the victory to attack and take over the Yiling City guarded by Sun Heng in one fell swoop, making Jiangling an isolated city.

Suddenly, a close minister came to report:

"Sun Quan from Jiangdong sent envoys to send Zhang Cheqi's head and imprison Fan Jiang, and Zhang Da and the two thieves arrived."

When Liu Bei heard this, he didn't care what Sun Quan intended and added his forehead with both hands:

"This gift from heaven is also from the spirit of the third brother!"

Liu Bei ordered Zhang Bao to take over Zhang Fei's head and Fan Jiang, Zhang Da's two enemies, and arranged for the envoy Cheng Bing to rest in the inn.

Liu Bei opened the box himself and saw that Zhang Fei's expression was as usual, and couldn't help crying.

Zhang Bao, with his sharp knife, cut Fan Jiang and Zhang Da into pieces, executed Ling Chi to death, and sacrificed his father's spirit.

Guan Xing, who had been beside Liu Bei, cried and bowed before Liu Bei, and said:

"Now the third uncle's enemies have all been killed; when can I repay my father's enemies?"

This time, Liu Bei was originally to avenge Guan Yu, but he did not want to kill Zhang Fei's life instead.

Now that Zhang Fei's revenge is avenged, Guan Yu's revenge will not be put down, he comforted him:

"Don't worry, my dear nephew! The enemy who killed your father, Lu Meng, is dead, only accomplices Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, Mi Fang, Fu Shiren and others. I should pacify Jingzhou and capture several thieves. I will personally sacrifice him to sacrifice to your father."

After appeased Guan Xing, Liu Bei's anger calmed down and calmed down to think about his next plan.

Liu Bei knew in his heart that Sun Quan took the initiative to return the enemy who killed Zhang Fei, which was sincere in making peace, but he could not agree easily. He must give Sun Quan a long memory so that he would not be capricious.

Ma Liang believes that with Liu Bei's current strength, Jingzhou may not be able to recover successfully, let alone conquer the entire Jiangdong.

Now that Sun Quan has taken the initiative to make peace, it is feasible to stop when he sees it is better. Asking for more benefits is the main thing. Seeing Liu Bei pondering and silent, he reminded him:

"Your Majesty, Zhang Cheqi has been revenged, and his hatred is abducted. Sun Quan's envoy Cheng Bing came here and wanted to send Mrs. Sun back. The two sides formed an alliance again and jointly planned to destroy Wei. They are waiting for His Majesty's imperial edict."

Liu Bei had a clear understanding of his strength. He could not conquer Jiangdong this time, and he just established his authority with Sun Quan.

Now the goal has been almost achieved. If the conditions are good, it is OK to negotiate with Sun Quan, so I ordered the reception of the Jiangdong envoy.

Cheng Bing came to the court and talked to Liu Bei about the various benefits of the two parties' alliance, but Liu Bei just sneered. When Cheng Bing finished speaking, Liu Bei spoke:

"Where is Sun Quan's sincerity to form an alliance? If he really wants to form an alliance forever, he will not only send Fan Jiang and Zhang Da two thieves, but also send all the thieves who killed Guan Yu, Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, Mi Fang, Fu Shiren and others!"

When Liu Bei heard that Sun Quan asked Sun Quan to send his heroes to avenge Guan Yu, Cheng Bing knew that Liu Bei had no sincerity to seek peace, so he retorted:

"The two countries have fought with wars, and countless casualties. Although General Guan was killed by Lu Meng, General Lu had died of illness. The past is not the present, so we will not discuss everything. The consequences and causes are unhappy. General Guan was killed and wanted to take revenge, but who will the revenge of Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Pang De and others?"

Liu Bei was speechless, but he had the absolute advantage in military affairs and said very domineeringly:

"You speak presumptuously. I think you are Sun Quan's envoy, so I won't punish you. When you go back, tell Sun Quan that if he wants to seek peace, he will take the initiative to withdraw from Jingzhou first and send Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, Mi Fang, Fu Shiren and others who killed my second brother. Otherwise, I will rush my troops eastward to destroy Jiangdong first!"

Cheng Bing originally wanted to argue with reason, but when he saw Liu Bei's murderous aura, he didn't want to be used by Liu Bei to establish his authority, so he bowed and said he would retreat.

Cheng Bing rushed back to Wuchang and reported to Sun Quan:

"Liu Bei is unreasonable and has no sincerity in making peace! He asked me to bring a message to my lord: first withdraw from Jingzhou, and send Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, Mi Fang, Fu Shiren and others to avenge Guan Yu, and then talk about the peace talks."

After hearing this, Sun Quan was furious and said:

"Liu Bei is too bullying! I swear to deal with him to the end!" Then he ordered to gather people to discuss.

These two conditions are impossible for Sun Quan to accept.

Jingzhou not only affected the safety of the entire Jiangdong, but also captured Jingzhou, which was the wish of several generations of the Sun family.

When Sun Jian made military contributions to the attack on the Yellow Turbans, he was appointed as the prefect of Changsha.

After Sun Jian took office, he wiped out the rebellious Qu Xing, selected Xun officials, and managed Changsha with all his heart. Then he sent troops to Lingling, Guiyang and other counties to wipe out the rebellion of Zhou Dynasty, Guo Shi and others. The court inspected Sun Jian's military achievements and named him the Marquis of Wucheng.

Sun Jian almost controlled the entire Jingnan, and his army continued to grow and grow. In Jingzhou at that time, no one could compete with him.

He was incompatible with the governor of Jingzhou Wang Rui, so he wanted to take the entire Jingzhou into his own control, but lacked a suitable excuse and could only hold on.

Just so happened that after receiving Cao Cao's manifesto, many prefectures and counties in the world raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian decided to participate.

Shortly after Sun Jian started his army, he did two major things:

When the soldiers arrived in Jingzhou, they forced the governor of Jingzhou to death. When the soldiers arrived in Nanyang, they killed the prefect of Nanyang Zhang Zi.

Sun Jian used the name of attacking Dong Zhuo to eliminate dissidents and cleared obstacles for him to occupy Jingzhou in the future.

Sun Jian performed very well in participating in the war against Dong Zhuo. After entering Luoyang, he obtained the imperial seal and returned to Changsha to prepare to occupy the entire Jingzhou.

Unexpectedly, Liu Biao took the lead in controlling Jingzhou and cut off Sun Jian's return.

Sun Jian was naturally dissatisfied and led his troops to attack Liu Biao, but was shot to death by Huang Zu.

Since then, seizing Jingzhou has become the obsession of the Sun family.

Sun Quan did not hesitate to betray his faith and wanted to seize Jingzhou, so he naturally could not give it back to Liu Bei.

As for asking Sun Quan to send Pan Zhang, Ma Zhong, Mi Fang, and Fu Shiren over, Liu Bei was even more sinister, which was even more harmful than letting Sun Quan withdraw from Jingzhou. Liu Bei wanted Sun Quan to betray his relatives.

If Sun Quan really did this and gave his heroes to the enemy to kill, he would lose all his hopes. Even if he could maintain the land of Jiangdong, he would soon be wiped out by Cao Pi or Liu Bei because of his generals and lack of available loyal people.

Sun Quan could not accept Liu Bei's conditions, so he had no choice but to fight! He summoned a group of civil and military officials to discuss the plan to withdraw his troops.

Almost all the generals who can be used in Jiangdong have reached the front line, and most of the elite soldiers who can be used in Jiangdong have arrived in Jingzhou. After these two battles, there have been a lot of losses.

Sun Quan lost two consecutive games and could never afford to lose again!

The civil servants and military generals who stayed by him did not think that they were stronger than Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Zhu Ran and others. Not only did no one volunteer, but there was no one to recommend them.

Sun Quan is not the kind of timid and afraid of things. Although he lacks confidence in his military talents, he has no way out. Once he makes up his mind, he will lead his troops to fight to the death with Liu Bei.

At this moment, in the civil servant class, Kan Ze stood up and said:

"Lord, there is a pillar of the sky, how can I not use it?"
