Zhang Zhao's expression was ugly. Although he was already mentally prepared, he did not expect Guo Jia's appetite to be so big!
Although Sun Quan had given him full authority, he had no way of agreeing to this condition.
Otherwise, it was a small matter if Sun Quan didn't admit it. He would probably skin him alive when he returned!
"Zibu, you should know that our army has already occupied Qichun, and the other counties are also in our hands. Even if you don't agree, it won't be long before they fall into our hands.”
"Even if the Prime Minister is willing, destroying River East would be a piece of cake!”
Zhang Yao opened her mouth, but there was nothing she could refute.
But this was not the same thing at all!
Now, they had taken the initiative to come and ask for peace. If they ceded the counties, they would immediately withdraw their troops. It was simply incomparable to the other party's hard work.
"Fengxiao, I'll be straightforward. The bottom line that my lord sent me here this time is to cede Qichun County at most!”
Zhang Zhao shook his head, his expression also looking extremely sincere.
However, Guo Jia did not fall for his opponent's trick.
"In that case, it seems that we have nothing to talk about.”
"Zibu, please go back!"
Guo Jia immediately gave the order to leave. One had to know that the initiative was in his hands now!
"Hmph, let's go. Uncle Zibu, let's go back now!”
Sun Shangxiang, who was beside him, seemed to be quite excited when she heard this and spoke in a delicate voice.
Zhang Zhao naturally knew what the other party was thinking, but if he left just like that, what would happen to River East?
"Shangxiang, stop messing around. Don't you understand the severity of this matter?”
Zhang Zhao shook his head, although he knew that the other party did not want to be the marriage partner.
However, since he was a member of the Sun family, he should have this awareness!
Moreover, the matter had already reached this point. If the other party still did not know the severity, then the Sun family would very likely be destroyed because of her.
Sun Shangxiang's expression was also desolate when she heard this, and she did not say anything else.
"Fengxiao, state your final condition. I believe that you don't really want to fight a decisive battle with my Jiangdong!”
Zhang Zhao looked at Guo Jia sincerely.
As the head of the civil officials in Jiangdong, he was particularly clear about the current situation.
"In that case, my Cao army will take Qichun and Lujiang counties. This is also the prime minister's bottom line. I hope Zibu won't make things difficult for me!”
As long as they occupied these two counties, the Cao army's sphere of influence would be across the river from River East.
Although there was the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, this was also relative.
The Cao army could not easily cross the Yangtze River, and Jiangdong could not give the Cao army pressure when they attacked Xiliang.
In this way, after he subdued Western Liang, he could turn around and deal with the other forces!
Zhang Zhao's expression was ugly, but he had no other choice.
If he agreed, Jiang Dong could still struggle on at death's door.
If he didn't agree, he would probably be destroyed in the blink of an eye!
"Alright, but my lord has another condition!”
"Zibu, please speak. As long as it's reasonable, I can agree on behalf of the Prime Minister.”
Guo Jia's expression did not change. Since the other party had agreed to give up Lujiang Prefecture, his goal had already been achieved. Thus, he was now relaxed.
"My lord wants to marry the prime minister!”
As for his marriage partner from River East, even if he didn't believe Guo Jia, he would know.
And this could also buy insurance for the future of Jiangdong.
Even if Cao Cao really unified the world, the Sun family would still have a chance to settle down.
Hearing this, Guo Jia frowned. Although he was mentally prepared, he didn't dare to agree on behalf of Boss Cao.
After all, this was already his private matter!
"Prime Minister…"
Guo Jia called out. He believed that Cao Cao had been paying attention to the situation.
Sure enough, Boss Cao opened his eyes and looked at Sun Shangxiang, frowning.
"Wentai and I are of the same generation. How can I marry his daughter?”
Although he did not dislike this marriage alliance, it was obvious that Sun Shangxiang was not to his liking.
As for seniority, it was undoubtedly just an excuse.
In addition, he was destined to destroy River East in the future, so he could avoid a trace of trouble in the future.
"Prime Minister!"
Zhang Zhao said anxiously, as if he still wanted to persuade her.
However, Boss Cao did not give him the chance to continue speaking.
Boss Cao raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes slightly." But if you really want to have a marriage alliance, it's not impossible.”
Zhang Zhao's heart finally relaxed when he heard that, but Boss Cao immediately spoke again.
"Then let Miss Sun marry Zhuiyu!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Jia was shocked.
The other party was obviously here for Boss Cao. Why did Boss Cao suddenly sell him out?
Sun Shangxiang thought that she was going to marry this old man in front of her. When she heard Cao Cao's words, she turned to look at Guo Jia.
He had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. He was extremely handsome, but he did not lose his manly aura!
"If it's him, it's not impossible…"
As the daughter of the Sun family, she had long been aware of being used as a political bargaining chip.
Just now, she was just unwilling to accept it and tried to resist marrying Cao Cao.
Now that she compared the two, she actually had such a thought in her heart.
"Since the Prime Minister has spoken, then I will also agree on behalf of my lord!”
Zhang Zhao knew that Cao Cao had already made up his mind.
However, he did not have any objections to Sun Shangxiang marrying Guo Jia.
After all, Guo Jia's ability and status in Cao Cao's camp were obvious.
At this moment, Guo Jia was looking at the two of them helplessly.
He didn't even have the time to interject before the two of them arranged everything clearly.
However, at this point, he didn't think of rejecting her.
After all, the other party was the famous Bow Waist Mistress, and he was not the one who suffered!
