Jiangdong's navy suddenly mobilized. Gan Ning received a reminder from Lan Tian and was well prepared, and immediately mobilized warships to form a formation.

The Jingzhou square was in neat formation, with battleships at the front and sterns interlocking with each other, guarding the large ship in the middle. The Jingzhou naval force was pragmatic in shipbuilding. This large ship was captured by Su Fei, so taking it out to confront Sun Quan was considered ruthless.

Slap in the face.

Sun Quan stood above the building ship Yunfei. The two sides stopped a few feet away and were at war with each other. Zhou Tai followed Sun Quan's wishes and shouted towards the building ship opposite: "Please Lantian come out and answer."

After Zhou Tai shouted several times, Lan Tian strode to the front of the deck, where Gan Ning and Gao Yuan stood on both sides.

"General Sun, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same style." Lan Tian clasped his fists and saluted.

Sun Quan nodded lightly in response, and replied coldly: "When I met Chai Sang in the past, I knew that you, sir, are not a mere mortal. I didn't expect that after many years, you would turn out to be an important minister, which is amazing."

Lan Tian ignored Sun Quan's teasing and replied loudly: "I actually don't have much knowledge. It all depends on the officials' hard work, the common people's sympathy, and the opponent's foil. Don't get me wrong, General Sun. The opponent I'm talking about is the Cao thief..."

After hearing this, Sun Quan's face turned livid, and he thought to himself, "What kind of foil did you emphasize on your opponent? Who would believe that Cao Cao was foiling you?" He thought that the Yangtze River News of a few days must quote you.

"There is nothing to say after the defeat of Jiangdong Army, but when the two sides just exchanged prisoners, you actually used deceitful means to defraud property. Back then, you did a lot of extortion from Zi Heng (Lu Fan), and you defrauded so much ill-gotten wealth. Mr.

He Anya? If you can repent and return Ziming (Lü Meng) to Jiangdong, then the matter will be returned to you. If you don't return it, hum..." Sun Quan's words contained threats.

Lan Tian shook his head and laughed: "Don't say that I wanted to return Lu Meng. Unfortunately, he was captured by Yun Chang's general Zhou Cang. It seems that he was taken to the front line of Fancheng and given to Cao Cao..."

"Giving Ziming to Cao Cao? What do you mean?" Sun Quan was shocked.

Lan Tian spread his hands and said, "How can I know General Guan's intention? But it should be similar to my purpose. Either exchange for some money and food, or exchange for some cities, otherwise there is no point in raising a free man."

Unexpectedly, Lu Meng went to Cao Cao. Sun Quan frowned and asked: "Since the senior general is Yu Jin, who are the mid-level generals and ordinary generals? They can't all be Cao Cao's generals, right?"

"There are too many names for me to remember, but I guarantee that the remaining generals are all warriors under General Sun." Lan Tian answered with clasped fists.

Sun Quan heard that the word warrior was particularly harsh, but he held back his anger and continued to ask: "Who are those three mid-level generals? Even if you want to secretly redeem yourself, you should explain it, otherwise who knows whether they are fake people."

Lan Tian seemed a little embarrassed, but in the end he said frankly: "General Sun is right, the intermediate generals are Zhu Ran, Sun Jiao, Gu Li..."

"Where's Pan Zhang? Where's Han Dang? Are they among the ordinary generals?" Sun Quan looked puzzled.

Lan Tian smiled slightly: "Pan and Han are both alive. If General Sun asks for the body, after all the prisoners of war are sold, I can return it with it. There is no ransom for the dead..."

Sun Quan's vision went dark and he almost fainted. He gritted his teeth and held on to the armrest tightly. Death on the battlefield was not something he could control, but seeing Lan Tian's smile was too hateful.

"Sir, if you are affected, can you tell me who they are killing for?" Sun Quan's eyes were cold.

Lan Tian pinched his chin as if thinking: "Pan Zhang was killed by Yun Changzi Guan Ping during the battle. As for Han Dang, he died earlier. He seemed to have died from internal strife among his own people..."

"Old General Han is a generous man, how could he have grudges with others?" Sun Quan argued in a deep voice.

"I don't know this, but according to the prisoners of war, the person who killed Han Dang seems to be Lu Meng..." Lan Tian showed a mysterious smile.

Everyone on the deck of Feiyun was shocked. Zhang Zhao paced back and forth, saying plausibly: "No way, no way, they can't fight among themselves."

"Lan Ziyu, don't even think about driving a wedge between us." Sun Quan looked at Lan Tian with blood-red eyes and shouted loudly.

Lan Tian looked innocent, cupped his hands and said: "What's the benefit of me driving a wedge between these two people? Isn't it easy to get to the bottom of it? Most of your Jiangdong soldiers know the inside story. General Sun can definitely redeem him and ask questions slowly. General Sun today

If you stoop down to meet me, you're not just reminiscing about old times with me, are you? If that's the case, I won't accompany you, there are still many secular affairs to deal with in Jiaozhou."

Sun Quan stared at Lan Tian with piercing eyes and said: "The 160 million you defrauded before is obviously enough to redeem Zhu Ran and the three of them. I will give you the extra 150 million."

"General Sun is confused. Our transaction is calculated one by one. If you want to redeem Zhu Ran, Sun Jiao, and Gu Li, you have to match five thousand soldiers, totaling 300 million yuan." Lan Tian said tit for tat.

"Sir, you are so greedy. Are you afraid that I will write to Liu Xuande? Even if he does not punish you for corruption, he will punish you for provoking a war with Jiangdong. If Guan Yu is defeated in Fancheng, you will be attacked from both sides." Sun Quan said directly.

threaten.

"Hahaha, General Sun is so forgetful. Which betrayal of the alliance was not yours? Besides, what if General Guan's side wins? Cao Cao already has too much to take care of himself, will he still risk his life with you?" Lan Tian raised his head and laughed.

Sun Quan shouted sternly: "Lantian, do you really think I'm kidding? With your arrogant attitude now, can the Sun and Liu families still make peace? You are the sinner of both our families, and Liu Xuande will not keep you sooner or later."

"Shut up." A strong voice sounded from the other side, and Sun Quan saw that familiar figure.

Sun Quan asked in surprise: "Why is Xuande here?"

"Zhongmou, don't be a villain in vain. Ziyu is Bei's right-hand man. He can make the decision for me here. If it weren't for the advice of the ministers, I would have sent troops to Jiangdong. How could I negotiate with you about the redemption of prisoners of war? So if we want to fight, we have to talk to Liu Bei."

I'll accompany you all." Liu Bei finished standing on stage for Lan Tian, ​​and then walked into the cabin with his sleeves fluttered.

Sun Quan rubbed his eyes and turned around and asked, "Did I read correctly just now? Liu Bei is actually in Jiangxia?"

"My lord, Liu Bei has arrived in Jiangxia at this time. He might really want to take over Jiangdong. Why don't you agree to Lantian's request as soon as possible and redeem as much as you can..." Zhang Zhao bowed to persuade him.

When Gu Yong saw Sun Quan looking at him, he immediately handed over his hand and said: "You can redeem some, but the amount is still too large. It will be very difficult to redeem all..."

Sun Quan turned around and looked back at Lantian, with helplessness in his words: "Since Xuande is here in person, let's do as you said. It's just that such a large amount cannot be raised in a short time."

"Actually, it doesn't matter. How many properties are delivered and how many prisoners of war are delivered? If one month is not enough, then two months, one year, two years, or five years will be fine. However, General Sun has to add up the rations for these prisoners and give them to us. After all, every day we open our mouths.

It's the expense..." Lan Tian replied with a smile.

Sun Quan gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said to himself that he didn't know how high the price of the rations was, so he had to sell as much iron as possible to redeem it, and if he couldn't afford it, he would give up some.

"If we don't have enough money, can we exchange it in kind?" Sun Quan asked.

Lan Tian nodded fiercely: "That's no problem. Money, food, cattle, sheep, cloth, including cities..."
