The next afternoon, Sun Quan led hundreds of civil and military officials to gather in front of Qichun Wharf to welcome Liu Jing's arrival. At this time, soldiers shouted on the lookout table: "The Jiangxia fleet has appeared, on the river ten miles away."

After a while, a fleet of more than a dozen large ships was sailing towards Qichun County. The headed ship was planted with a huge gold-edged red flag. The red flag was the Han Dynasty military flag and the Jingzhou military flag, and the inlaid gold-edged flag represents the commander-in-chief flag of the governor of Jingzhou.

Sun Quan turned around and Lu Su immediately shouted: "Play music"

The docks suddenly sounded, and the eight dragon and lion dance teams flew up and down, which was extremely lively. Soon, Liu Jing's boat slowly approached the dock. Liu Jing stood at the bow of the boat, bowed to everyone with a smile on his face, wearing a golden crown, a purple robe, and a jade belt, which made him look even more martial and elegant.

Behind him were twenty personal guards and two engaged in Liu Min and Jiang Wan.

Sun Quan exclaimed slightly: "It is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people, outstanding and extraordinary."

The big ship stopped steadily, and a boatman quickly boarded the boat board. Liu Jing walked ashore and smiled and said, "I dare not help my brother to come to greet him in person."

"How can you not welcome me if you are a virtuous brother?"

Sun Quan laughed and walked forward, and the two hugged each other tightly. Sun Quan looked at him up and down, and then said, "I haven't seen you for a year, and I've lost a lot of weight."

"Where can you get fat when you are in trouble?"

The two of them understood and laughed loudly. At this time, Liu Jing waved his hand and a soldier came forward with a copper plate. There was a short sword in the plate. Liu Jing smiled and said, "This sword is called Qingyue. It was obtained by me in Chaisang. I have been collecting it to this day. I am now giving it to my brother."

This sword was actually refined by Chaisang craftsman when he was smelting the horse-slashing sword. It was extremely sharp. This is the only one. The collection of famous swords was Sun Quan's biggest hobby. He immediately became interested and picked up the sword and pulled it out. He saw that the sword body was light green, with the sword light as the moon, with a strong cold air and extremely sharpness.

"Good Sword"

Sun Quan praised repeatedly, handed the sword to his entourage, and smiled at Liu Jing, "I heard that my good brother is happy to have a noble son, so I also want to express my feelings. It is not rare to have gold jewelry. I will give my good brother's son a big guy."

He turned around and shouted, "Take it up"

The crowd flashed away, and a young man with dark skin led a baby elephant and walked forward slowly. Liu Jing was surprised. He walked up and patted the baby elephant. Suddenly, he remembered that Sun Quan gave Cao Cao an elephant in history, and Cao Chong finally called it. Could it be this elephant

Sun Quan walked up and smiled and introduced, "This elephant is named Mira. It was given to me by a Lingnan businessman. There is also an elephant slave. The little elephant is very gentle. When the son grows up, he can ride it and play with it."

"Then thank you brother"

Liu Jing ordered people to take Xiaoxiang and Xiangnu onto a big ship together, and then followed Sun Quan on a carriage and slowly walked into the city surrounded by everyone.

Qichun County is a small county. There are no hundreds of thousands of people going to welcome him like Dongwu City. Only thousands of people in the county go to welcome him. Although the number is small, everyone cheers and smiles with excitement. They welcome Liu Jing's arrival from the bottom of their hearts.

More than ten years ago, Sun Jian crossed the river to attack Liu Biao, and crossed the river from Qichun County. In that battle, almost the entire county was destroyed. No one expected Sun and Liu to be in harmony with each other than the people of Qichun County who had suffered the pain of war.

Liu Jing looked at the excited smiles, and he remembered the people of Xiangyang again, and welcomed him from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't help but sigh: "Their requirements are actually very low, and they just want to live a peaceful life. It's shameful to say that even with such low requirements it is difficult to satisfy them."

Sun Quan also sighed slightly and said, "What my brother said is also what I think."

The carriage stopped. Qichun County did not have a wide and spectacular palace as the Wu Palace, but the mansion where Sun Quan lived was a little more decent. Sun Quan asked with a smile: "I remember in Dongwu, you lived in Tao Mansion, so should I arrange it here or take a boat back to myself?"

Liu Jing apologized: "It's here during the day, but I'll go back to the boat at night, which makes my brother worry."

"Then it's decided. Brother, take a break first. I will welcome you to me to the evening." Sun Quan smiled and patted Liu Jing on the shoulder and took him into the mansion.

...........

Sun Quan had the habit of taking naps and had to take a half hour nap every day. For many years, he couldn't move. He returned to his room, cleaned up and then lay down to take a nap. But today he was a little tired and overslept. He was pushed by the guards in a daze.

"Wuhou, wake up"

Sun Quan woke up in shock. He was helped to sit up. He felt a burst of pain in his head, as if he was about to explode. He frowned and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"

"It's been half an hour. Wu Hou and the military advisor have an urgent matter."

Sun Quan rubbed his temples, and his headache was slightly reduced, and then he said: "Please come in."

After a moment, Zhang Zhao hurried in and bowed and said, "I disturbed the Marquis of Wu to take a nap, but I have something urgent to report."

"Say what's the matter?"

Zhang Zhao took a step forward and whispered: "Prime Minister Cao has sent an envoy."

"ah"

Sun Quan was shocked and his headache disappeared without a trace. He hurriedly said, "Where are people now?"

"In the small dock in the north, the envoy dared not get off the ship, for fear of being seen by the Jiangxia army, so he sent people to inform the ministers."

Sun Quan was a little strange. It was so coincidental that the two families came together. If Cao Cao sent an envoy to come again, it would be not surprising that he would have arrived these two days, but it was just a little coincidental.

He pondered for a moment and said, "You send a carriage to pick him up, but don't come to my place. I will pick him up first. In the afternoon, I will go to see him. You and I can only know this, and I will never tell anyone."

"There is no good"

Zhang Zhao bowed and hurried away. Sun Quan felt a pain hitting his mind again. Cao Cao actually sent an envoy again. He had just decided to join forces with Jingzhou to fight Cao, but he did not expect another storm.

In fact, Sun Quan did not make up his mind completely, and he left a little luck. If Cao Cao's envoy did not come, then he would cooperate with Liu Jing to extract greater benefits from Liu Jing. However, the arrival of Cao Cao's envoy made his unstable heart start to get messed up again. What conditions did Cao Cao give himself?

...........

Cao Cao's envoy was naturally Jiang Gan. After being interrogated by Liu Jing, he was finally forced to compromise and agreed to Liu Jing's conditions. Except for his followers being disguised by Jiang Xia's soldiers, everything was the same as when he came.

In the room, Jiang Gan was discussing the preparations for Cao's army to Zhang Zhao in detail. This was also a task that Cao Cao gave him, telling the important officials in Jiangdong about the strength of the northern army. However, when Jiang Gan set out from Jiangling, they did not know the news of the great defeat of Anlu County.

At this time, a family member came to report at the door, "Master, Wu Hou is here."

Zhang Zhao hurriedly went out to greet Sun Quan. In the room, Jiang Gan was very nervous. Liu Jing gave him a fake letter. He didn't know what was inside and was worried that he would be seen through by the extremely smart Sun Quan.

At this time, the curtain was raised, and Zhang Zhao took Sun Quan into the room, "Mr. Jiang, this is my lord."

Jiang Gan felt that Sun Quan's eyes were extremely sharp, as if he had seen through his pretending. He felt guilty in his heart and stepped forward to salute, "In Xiajiujiang County, Jiang Gan, see Wu Hou."

Jiujiang County was Yuzhang County at this time. Chaisang originally belonged to Jiujiang County. After being occupied by Liu Biao, it was included in Jiangxia County. In fact, in the imperial palace, Chaisang still belonged to Jiujiang County, but Jiang Gan did not dare to mention that he was a native of Chaisang, which was too sensitive.

"Mr. Jiang has worked hard all the way, please sit down."

Seeing that Sun Quan did not ask him where he was from Jiujiang County, Jiang Gan let down his heart. Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, Sun Quan asked again with a smile: "It turns out that Mr. Jiang is also from Jiangdong, I don't know where he is from Jiujiang County."

Jiang Gan was so frightened that he almost stopped and beat. Fortunately, he had already considered the words on the way, so he said with a thorny blow: "My ancestral home is from Chaisang. Ten years ago, in order to avoid the war, I moved my parents to Pengze. When I was young, I was a classmate of Gongjin and I as a student."

This is why Jiang Gan dared not to admit that he was from Jiujiang County. He and Zhou Yu were classmates and friends. Zhou Yu knew him, so he could only say that he moved to Pengze before Liu Jing guarded Chaisang.

"It turns out that they are Gongjin's classmates and friends, so they are not outsiders."

Fortunately, Sun Quan was more concerned about Cao Cao's letter, so he did not continue to ask Jiang Gan's parents where they are now, and he pondered for a while and asked, "I don't know what Prime Minister Cao has to say to me."

Jiang Gan took out the jade box and presented it to Sun Quan, "This is the Prime Minister's handwritten letter, please check it out."

Sun Quan immediately took the jade box, slowly opened it, and took out the letter. Cao Cao's letter was still a formal letter of commitment, but the content was very different.

Cao Cao promised not to attack Jiangdong for three years, but there were conditions, with Wuhu as the boundary, and the Jiangdong army would not cross Wuhu within three years. In addition, Yuzhang and Qichun counties were temporarily entrusted by the court within three years, stationed in the court's army, and returned to Jiangdong after three years.

As for the joint attack on Jingzhou, the four counties including Changsha, Guiyang and others to Jiangdong after the war were not mentioned at all. However, in the end, Cao Cao was willing to propose to marry the sister of Wuhou for his second son Cao Zhang, and this one was preserved.

At the end of the guarantee letter, there is the bright red seal of the Prime Minister of Han. This is a large seal imitated by Jiang Xia's skilled craftsman. Even the handwriting is exactly the same, without any flaws.

Sun Quan couldn't believe his eyes. The Jiangdong army was not allowed to cross Wuhu within three years. Yuzhang and Qichun were temporarily entrusted by the court within three years. They were stationed in the court's army and returned to Jiangdong in three years. What kind of court army is that Cao's army.

An uncontrollable anger surged from Sun Quan's heart, and he was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. This was Cao Cao's so-called guarantee letter. When writing a private message, he would coax himself to retreat first. But once he had to stamp the guarantee, the conditions would come out. It seemed that Cao Cao had planned like this long ago.

"Wuhou, what is it?" Zhang Zhao asked in a low voice next to him. Seeing that Sun Quan's face was wrong, he felt a little bad.

Sun Quan handed him the letter of guarantee with a slight face, "You can see it yourself."

Zhang Zhao looked at it quickly and his heart suddenly jumped. The two conditions were obviously to prevent the Jiangdong Army from devouring Jingzhou within three years. Cao Cao knew very well that when he was expeditioning to Ma Teng in Xiliang, the Jiangdong Army would definitely have actions, so he set the conditions first.

Zhang Zhao also sighed in his heart. In this way, there is really no hope for joint attacks with Cao Cao. Cao Cao is too smart and too smart. If he doesn't give Jiangdong any benefits, what's the point of just marrying the sister of Wuhou.

He glanced at Sun Quan and saw that his lord's anger was about to explode, so he immediately ordered his family to take Jiang Gan to rest first. Jiang Gan also felt Sun Quan's anger, and was scared, so he quickly got up and left.

As soon as Jiang Gan left, Zhang Zhao stood up and bowed: "Please calm down."

Sun Quan sighed for a long time, "People say that Cao Mengde would rather let the world down than let the world down, this is true. If I agreed at the beginning, it would be too late to regret it."

Zhang Zhao felt ashamed and asked again: "Does the lord hope that Weichen will send Jiang Gan away quietly?"

"No"

Sun Quan shook his head and sneered: "He still has value in use. I want to use Cao Cao's envoy to suppress Liu Jing and let him make concessions to the greatest extent."

Half an hour later, the news that Cao Cao's envoy arrived in Qichun County spread throughout the county. The next afternoon, Sun Quan led hundreds of civil and military officials to gather in front of the Qichun Wharf to welcome Liu Jing's arrival. At this time, soldiers shouted on the lookout table: "The Jiangxia fleet has appeared, on the river ten miles away."

After a while, a fleet of more than a dozen large ships was sailing towards Qichun County. The headed ship was planted with a huge gold-edged red flag. The red flag was the Han Dynasty military flag and the Jingzhou military flag, and the inlaid gold-edged flag represents the commander-in-chief flag of the governor of Jingzhou.
