Although Wu Fan did not declare the purpose of his mission to Jianye City in advance, based on the current situation and power comparison between the two sides, anyone with a little cleverness can guess that Wu Fan will be persuaded to surrender.

The main reason why Zhou Yu and other Jiangdong war-holding factions were in charge of war in history was that they still had more than 100,000 troops in their hands at that time; and they were all good at water wars and had the danger of the Yangtze River. If they suffered from the Cao army, they would suffer great losses on the Yangtze River.

Now, after the Battle of Hefei, Jiangdong suffered heavy losses and low morale. The only navy force that could be relied on was almost wiped out. Jianye City, which retreated, was surrounded by a group of 800,000 Cao's army. In this case, except for the extremely diehards like Zhuge Liang, the people who still insisted on fighting were caught by the door.

From a historical perspective, the Sun family in Jiangdong was actually a warlord; no one took the Han Dynasty seriously from top to bottom, from king to minister. Now that there is no hope of defending the city, he knows that Wu Fan came to persuade the surrender, the generals under Sun family were all shouting for surrender.

Including Zhou Yu, who had previously supported the Cao army, Huang Gai and others chose to remain silent. After looking at the generals and ministers, Sun Quan nodded silently, and then ordered someone to introduce Wu Fan into the main hall.

After the guards received the order, during the period when they ran out of the main hall, Pang Tong, who had been officially opened and awarded the position of the Central Army, went out to work:

"Lord, although our army is now hard to compete with Cao's army in terms of military strength, it may not necessarily rank under Cao's army in terms of ability. Therefore, my subordinates dared to suggest that we, generals and ministers, would be eloquent in this main hall. First, it can prove that our generals and ministers in Jiangdong are not mediocre talents. Second, it can make the Cao army dare not underestimate our generals and ministers in Jiangdong from top to bottom."

Pang Tong's proposal was immediately supported by other generals and ministers, and they all believed that it was necessary to give Wu Fan some color and not to let Cao's army continue to be so proud.

People often do this. When the defeat is determined and they feel embarrassed, they try every means to find some face in other aspects. This is nothing more than self-esteem.

Sun Quan agreed to everyone's request. The next moment, Wu Fan had already walked into the main hall under the leadership of the guards.

Since he came here as an envoy and was intended to persuade surrender, wearing armor is obviously not very suitable. Wu Fan gave up his armor today and changed to an official uniform that was comparable to his official title. His whole body was mainly purple. The front and back were embroidered with a dark blue kirin pattern with auspicious clouds, a purple-gold sun wheel crown on his head, and his feet were covered with cloud-covered boots. Two deep red ribbons hung from both sides of the hat brim to his chest. When he walked, he was floating in the wind, flowing freely and unrestrained.

Such "high-end" first-class official uniforms form an extremely strong contrast with the rustic official uniforms worn by many generals under Sun's subordinates. Standing on the main hall, the sunlight poured down from the hall gate behind him, making Wu Fan's purple official uniforms brighter and even a bit dazzling, and it really makes him stand out.

Even Sun Quan, the crimson official uniform worn by him as a replacement for the monarch, was ashamed of himself in front of Wu Fan.

Wu Fan's outfit was so depressed that the Sun clan ruler and ministers were stunned for a while.

It was not until Wu Fan huddled his hands and said to Sun Quan without being humble or arrogant, "I have seen you as the governor of the Second Corps of the Cao Army, General Wu Fan, I have been greeted by you." Only after Sun Quan and his generals woke up.

Sun Quan quickly stood up in the seat, reached out to let Wu Fan take a seat. Seeing Zhou Yu winked at him, he realized that he had misled the rules and sat down again, deliberately maintaining the image of sitting upright.

In fact, the warring parties sent envoys to send out envoys at all. However, since Sun Quan was so "polite", Wu Fan would certainly not be polite, so he sat down in the seat below the right side of Sun Quan.

After sitting down, Wu Fan looked at everyone with his eyes. He knew very well that these people must know the purpose of coming here, so he did not hide it. After taking a sip of tea, the teacup was still in his hand and said:

"I believe that the purpose of my coming here is very clear. Our two families have fought for so many years, and have been exhausted by the people and suffered money, causing countless soldiers to die in the war. Now, our Cao army has been helped by heaven and time and has been able to overcome the battle of Hefei. In addition, we are glad that we dare not disobey God's virtue of living. Therefore, my elder brother sent me here to persuade us to surrender. I hope you will put the overall situation of the country first, take the people of the world first, follow the heaven and respond to the people, change the flag and change the banner. Then all the people will be blessed and the world will be blessed."

After saying this, Wu Fan also placed the teacup in his hand on the table, but he still looked at the teacup in front of him with his head down, instead of looking at the expressions and expressions of everyone.

In fact, the reason why Wu Fan deliberately suppressed his eyes and did not look at everyone was to respect the generals and ministers under Sun's family and try not to let them feel "oppressed". After all, the identity Wu Fan now shoulders makes him feel a sense of superiority in the generals and ministers of Sun's family. After saying he would persuade him to surrender, if he examined everyone's faces, it would inevitably make everyone who is already in the "weak" position feel uncomfortable.

Wu Fan's deliberate action, coupled with his previous statement that the victory of the Cao army in the Battle of Hefei was due to the help of heaven and earth; these two points made the Sun's generals and ministers truly feel Wu Fan's sincerity in this trip, and his favor for Wu Fan increased a lot.

Because everyone knows that the reason why Cao's army won a great victory in the Battle of Hefei was that in addition to the serial and bitter schemes being discovered, the most important thing was that Wu Fan personally led 100,000 Qingzhou generals to participate in the war, killing the Eastern Wu navy to the point of falling. The situation that could have reorganized the situation immediately collapsed, and the entire army was defeated on its entire line.

As an absolute hero of the Cao army in the Battle of Hefei, Wu Fan actually underestimated his achievements. This surprised many Sun generals and ministers, and thus gained a new understanding of Wu Fan's character. Many people gave up the idea of ​​making things difficult for Wu Fan.

Accepting surrender is not a trivial matter, especially although the Sun family in Jiangdong has no soldiers, there are many generals and large territories. Even if Sun Quan wanted to surrender, he could not immediately reply to Wu Fan. Moreover, he still remembered what Pang Tong said about discussing with Wu Fan, so he did not make a statement for a long time, but looked at Pang Tong and the generals and ministers.

Pang Tong is a man with a strong desire to show his desire in "historical". He competed with Zhuge Liang, who was under Liu Bei's subordinate, and was shot to death by Zhang Ren on Luofengpo. Now Pang Tong has just been activated by Sun. In order to highlight his intelligence and talent, he naturally has to actively perform. He, who is self-reliant, regards the argument with Wu Fan as the best opportunity to perform.

So, as Sun Quan looked at him, Pang Tong suddenly clapped his hands and said to Wu Fan:

"Governor Wu said that the whole text is good, very good. He obviously wanted to collect the troops in Jiangdong, and gain a large area of ​​land in Jiangdong, and took many capable ministers and generals to the Cao army for use, but he kept saying that he used the country, the world and the people as an excuse. The Governor Wu's verbal words, Su Qin and Zhang Yi of ancient times would also be ashamed of himself."

After finishing his words, Pang Tong turned his head and looked around. He thought that his words would attract the support of many civil officials, and formed a public pressure on Wu Fan, who was alone and alone. Unexpectedly, many civil officials gave up the idea of ​​making things difficult for Wu Fan through Wu Fan's words and deeds just now, and only Kan Ze spoke up and said a few words.

The so-called treating each other with courtesy is the premise that the other party deserves to treat it with courtesy. If the other party is ungrateful or even adds maliciously, treating each other with courtesy is a brainless act.

Of course Wu Fan would not spoil Pang Tong. He raised his head and looked at him, and said with a blank expression:

"The same thing can have many different statements. People choose to communicate with kind words in it to respect the other party and also think that the other party deserves respect. For example, you are the continuation of your parents' life and a descendant of the Pang family. You have heard too much and become accustomed to it and do not feel the respect of others for you. So, I might as well tell you bluntly: You are just an unexpected product of your parents' reversal. This is enough to prove your surprising appearance. Pang Zhonglang, I wonder how you feel after hearing such blunt words?"

Wu Fan's words are based on Pang Tong's own flaws as the starting point. They are quite detrimental, but the effect is excellent. The only thing that Pang Tong is not aware of his own good will be determined to make things difficult for Wu Fan and seek hardship.

After hearing Wu Fan say this, the generals and ministers under Sun's family were stunned. Then, the people who had come back looked at Pang Tong, especially when they looked at Pang Tong's appearance, the more they looked, the more they felt that Wu Fan was right. Several of them even laughed out loud.

Pang Tong himself was even more shocked after hearing Wu Fan say such words. From the corner of his eyes, he felt everyone looking at him, which made Pang Tong, who was already very sorry for the audience, feel even more ashamed of himself, and became angry. Wu Fan's finger was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed for a long time but couldn't say a word.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Sun Quan quickly winked at Cheng Pu and Han Dang. The two walked out of the train, holding Pang Tong on the left and right. On the surface, it seemed to be comforting him not to be excited, but in fact, they directly drove Pang Tong out of the main hall without saying anything.

Kan Ze, the only supporter of Pang Tong, saw that Pang Tong was humiliated by himself, and he could not help but subconsciously think about his appearance. It didn't seem to be very charming. 73. Taking advantage of the opportunity when Cheng Pu and Han Dang drove Pang Tong away, Kan Ze pretended to persuade Pang Tong and hurriedly ran out with the three of them.

After just one meeting, Wu Fan humiliated Pang Tong so much that he wanted to find a crack in the ground. Everyone had already given up on the idea of ​​making things difficult for Wu Fan. In this way, no one risked himself to humiliate him and talked with Wu Fan.

However, this refers to civil officials and military generals who are still dissatisfied with Wu Fan.

The most representative of them are Ding Feng and Ling Tong.

Ding Feng and Ling Tong were both "young" sects in Jiangdong, ages 15 and 16 respectively. They were the time when a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger. Although he had heard of Wu Fan's bravery, he was not for nothing to give him his own strength and wanted to compete with Wu Fan. Moreover, because in the Battle of Hefei, the two of them were hit by Wu Fan's navy and were in a mess, which made the two very dissatisfied. They believed that Wu Fan's strength was just the 100,000 Qingzhou generals under his command. If they really had to fight one-on-one, we would definitely not be defeated so miserably.

So, not long after Pang Tong was driven away, the two looked at each other, nodded, and then walked out of the train together and said to Wu Fan:

"I heard that Governor Wu is the best in the world and no one can match it. It makes me feel that I and Governor Wu are like fireflies and bright moons in front of this rumor. Fortunately, Governor Wu is here in person today. I am glad that Governor Wu hopes to compete with Governor Wu. I believe Governor Wu will not reject my request."

The two of them decided that Wu Fan might not have much ability, and they could not even rule out that they had a false reputation. Based on this idea, the two of them deliberately labeled Wu Fan at the end, for fear that Wu Fan would reject their competition requirements for some reason.

These two calfs don’t know how terrible the tiger is, which does not mean that other generals are the same. When the generals, especially those who have really fought with Wu Fan, all their eyes widened when they heard the two of them saying they wanted to compete with Wu Fan. Among them, Ling Tong’s father Ling Cao, although he had never fought with Wu Fan, he also knew from Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others that Wu Fan was definitely not a good deal, so he hurriedly showed his son a wink and asked his son to retreat quickly.

Ling Tong pretended not to see this, and stood side by side with Ding Feng, his pen was straight, his eyes only staring at Wu Fan, waiting for Wu Fan to respond.

After hearing the two of them say, Wu Fan did not express his opinion directly, nor looked at them, but picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. After putting down the teacup, he saw from the corner of his eyes that the two of them had not returned to the train. It seemed that they would not give up if they had not tried a few moves with them. Then he turned his head and looked at the two of them.

As soon as he caught his eye, all the strength values ​​of the two were displayed, including Ding Feng as 85 and Ling Tong as 89.

Looking at the expressions of the two of them, their eyebrows were cold and extremely cold, as if they were class enemies with them.

Wu Fan smiled. He immediately realized that laughing at this time would easily make the two calves think they were laughing at them over their own abilities, so he clenched his fists and covered his mouth and coughed intently. After putting down his hand, Wu Fan had no smile on his face, and he frowned slightly, as if he felt a little tricky about this competition. He asked the two:

"I wonder how you and the other two will compete?"

At the same time, behind the screen behind the main seat where Sun Quan was, two women stood. One of the maids looked like a woman whispered to a woman in a red robe and military uniform:

"Miss, let's go back soon. It will be bad if someone finds out. You will be scolded by the master."

This woman, who was called a lady by the maid, was no one else, but Sun Jian's only daughter, Sun Shangxiang.

Through the silk cloth of the screen, you can vaguely see the scene in the main hall under the backlight. Seeing that the good show was about to happen, Sun Shangxiang was reluctant to leave and whispered to the maid:

"Wait a little longer, it'll be fine soon."

Besides, when talking about the main hall, seeing that Wu Fan did not refuse the competition requirements, Ling Tong and Ding Feng were excited and hurriedly said:

"Each person is good at weapons, and he will fight one-on-one single-handedly!"
Chapter completed!
