"Ahem, the lord is here?" Zhou Yu struggled to get up from between his beds in the Jiangdong Governor's Mansion.
"Gong Jin, don't move, don't move, be careful of the wound!" Sun Ce hurriedly stopped Zhou Yu and said, Zhou Yu's wound began to scar, and the initial period has passed, now all he needs to do is wait for the wound to heal and take care of his body up. It would be bad if the wound was accidentally touched and burst open.
"If that's the case, then I won't get up!" Zhou Yu smiled at Sun Ce.
"Gong Jin, there is news about Xiang'er." Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu. The relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu basically did not avoid Zhou Yu in many things. Ever since Sun Shangxiang left, Sun Ce has been worried about his precious sister all the time.
"Is there any news about Xiang'er? That's a good thing, hurry up and let Xiang'er come back." Zhou Yu also felt the same way about Sun Shangxiang as a little sister. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce had known each other for a long time, and Sun Shangxiang was also raised by Zhou Yu.
"She may not come back." Sun Ce's eyes were a little gloomy.
"What's wrong with Xiang'er?" Zhou Yu was a little shocked, looking at Sun Ce's gloomy eyes, could it be that Sun Shangxiang was killed
"Isn't that true? On the contrary, she is still alive and well." Sun Ce shook his head with a wry smile.
"En?" Zhou Yu didn't understand why Sun Ce was like this if Xiang'er was alive and well.
"Xiang'er is married." Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu.
"Married? Who did you marry?" Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment. You must know that in this day and age, when a girl gets married or a man gets married, it is all based on the orders of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. My brother was the last to know.
"She married Liu Mang, king of Shu in Yangzhou." Sun Ce said to Zhou Yu.
'What! "Zhou Yu's eyes widened.
"Gongjin, do you still remember. I wanted to get Yuan Shu's support. I asked him to return my father's old ministry to me. I once worshiped him as a righteous father." This time, the name used by Yangzhou is the name of the Yuan family, and Sun Ce is Yuan Shu. Therefore, Yuan Fang can say that Sun Shangxiang's elder sister is from his natal family. In this way, the words of the parents' order and matchmaker will be there.
"Married to Liu Mang, king of Shu in Yangzhou?" Zhou Yu's mind turned.
"He, Liu Mang, wants to get my Jiangdong." Sun Ce is not a fool, on the contrary, Sun Ce also has a lot of brains. It's just that sometimes, he doesn't want to think too much, and he has developed a kind of dependence on Zhou Yu without knowing it.
Liu Mang would marry Sun Shangxiang, needless to say, he knew that it was for a purpose, otherwise, given the enmity between Jiang Dong and Liu Mang, how could he marry a woman from the enemy's family, he is not afraid of chaos in the backyard.
"He, Liu Mang, wants to achieve righteousness!" Zhou Yu also understood that Liu Mang married Sun Shangxiang for the purpose of achieving righteousness, so that he can send troops to Jiangdong. Yangzhou Liu Mang's two enemies got married. With the name of this relative of Marquis Wu, Liu Mang was able to send troops to Jiangdong.
"If it wasn't for Zhongmou. Hey!" Sun Ce regretted, if it wasn't for Sun Quan, he would have messed up. Even if Liu Mang marries Sun Shangxiang, Liu Mang has no excuse to intervene in Jiang Dong's affairs.
"Has the messenger sent by Liu Mang from Yangzhou ever discussed surrender with you, my lord?" Another meaning of Zhou Yu was whether this Yangzhou Liu Mang threatened Sun Ce, and if Sun Ce did not surrender, he would directly attack Jiangdong.
"Is that true? I just sent Xiang'er's letter from home." Sun Ce shook his head, Liu Mang was still very polite.
"Oops!" Zhou Yu didn't feel relieved after hearing Sun Ce's words, but became worried.
"My lord, hurry up, send someone to catch up with the envoy from Yangzhou." Zhou Yu said anxiously to Sun Ce.
"En?" Sun Ce was stunned for a moment. Why did he catch up with the envoy
"Quickly, after catching up with the envoy, ask him what kind of treatment he, King Liu Mang of Shu, can give him if Jiangdong surrenders!" Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce.
"Surrender? No, I, Sun Ce, will never surrender." Sun Ce shook his head and said, as I said before, Sun Ce is a good-looking person. He lost to Liu Mang, but he always wanted to win back. How could he surrender? .
"My lord, we are just hypocrisy. If you still want this Jiangdong great cause, lord, you must say so." Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce. To use a bad word, it is called a barking dog. If the envoy sent by Liu Mang threatened Jiangdong Sun Ce directly, it means that Yangzhou is not yet ready for the battle, but once the envoy from Yangzhou arrives and just smiles and speaks, it means that Yangzhou has already moved to send troops Thinking about it, maybe this army is behind this messenger, and it is precisely because they know that they have nothing to talk to you, so they directly send troops to catch you by surprise.
"Great Governor, where is the Great Governor?" An anxious voice came from outside while Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were still discussing.
"My lord and the governor are both in the room, what's the matter?" Lu Meng outside stopped the people.
"Quick, hurry up and tell the governor, Yangzhou, the Yangzhou army has moved from Jiangxia." As soon as the Jiangdong see-off soldier said this, he immediately got in the past. Zhou Yu was sent to the Yangtze River by Zhuge Liang in the Jiangdong army. In the middle of the bottom, he ordered people to enter the Lujiang River, and kept an eye on every move of Yangzhou soldiers and horses. Today, he finally got the information.
"Quick, pay him in quickly!" Lu Meng directed the people to send the soldier who delivered the letter into the room. Sun Ce and others wanted to inquire, but this person passed out.
"Use cold water!" Zhou Yu said to the people under him on the bed, "The military situation is urgent, that's the only way to go."
Soon cold water was delivered, and a basin of cold water was poured on the body of the soldier who delivered the letter, and he woke up immediately, in a daze.
"Where am I!"
"This is in the governor's room. Tell me quickly, what happened to Jiang Xia? What's wrong with the Yangzhou army?" Lu Meng asked anxiously.
"My lord, the governor, both Lujiang and Jiangxia are allocating food, grass and soldiers, and Jiangxia's navy has already begun to go south." The soldier who delivered the letter said to Sun Ce and others.
"Going south?" Sun Ce and Zhou Yuyu all became nervous. Needless to say, the goal of the Yangzhou army going south is their Jiangdong. Sure enough, this Yangzhou Liu Mang is ready to attack Jiangdong.
"How many soldiers and horses are there?" Zhou Yu and Sun Ce asked.
"No. I don't know. But. There is a lot of food and grass, and there are a lot of warships. The three camps in Lujiang have already started to move."
"Three big camps?" Generally speaking, one camp should have about 5,000 people stationed, and three camps would be 15,000 people. The Jiangxia navy should not be less than this number, that is to say, it should be between 30,000 and 10,000. Among fifty thousand.
His Royal Highness Shu Wang of Yangzhou really thinks highly of them Jiangdong, 50,000 elites entered Jiangdong quietly. If Sun Ce hadn't come here today. I am afraid that waiting for the Yangzhou army to approach the city, then Jiangdong really has no other way to go except surrender.
"50,000 troops!" Sun Ce frowned. Before 50,000 soldiers, Sun Ce didn't care, because although Jiangdong was not as rich as Jingzhou, 100,000 soldiers were still available, and Jiangdong's navy was famous all over the world. , It is difficult to have an opponent on the Yangtze River, but now it is different, Jiangdong's capital has been exhausted, and now the entire Jiangdong can fight at most 10,000 to 20,000 people, how to fight.
"If he comes to attack, I, Sun Ce, will defend Jiangdong to the death." Sun Ce said with a bite. This is a way to rely on the city wall to resist the enemy.
"My lord, no!" Zhou Yu shook his head and objected without thinking. "My lord, is my Jiangdong city stronger than the Central Plains city?" Zhou Yu asked Sun Ce next to him.
Sun Ce shook his head, no, because the Jiangnan area is blocked by the Yangtze River, so the cities in the south of the Yangtze River are generally built low, and because of the wet soil, the foundation is not deep, so naturally it is not very strong, and it is not comparable to the Central Plains Some of those old cities that have been fortified for hundreds of years.
"My lord, Liu Bei of Yuzhou is sitting on the fortified city of Yuzhou, but what is the ending!" Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce beside him, the ending is that now Liu Bei has only one Runan lingering.
Sun Ce was sunk. Indeed, his achievements in Jiangdong were not as strong as those big cities in the Central Plains. Even Yuzhou couldn't stand it. He still expected these cities in Jiangdong to hold on.
"Do I really want to surrender like that kid Liu Mang!" Sun Ce was a bit unwilling, he, Sun Ce wanted to get back the face he had lost.
"My lord, we don't really want to surrender to Liu Mang!" Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce with a smile.
"En?" Sun Ce didn't understand Zhou Yu's thoughts.
"My lord, what we need now is to delay time," Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce. What Jiangdong lacks most now are two things. The first is time, and the second is money. As long as there are these two things, then Jiangdong will recover That is sooner or later.
"My lord, is face or Jiangdong's foundation important?" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce seriously.
Sun Ce didn't speak, but became silent.
"If the lord's face is important, then the lord is ready to surrender to the king of Shu Liu Mang. The king of Shu Liu Mang is kind, then the lord may still be able to live a lifetime as a rich man in Yangzhou. If the king of Shu Liu Mang Mang is a little more cruel, the Sun family has no males below the master." Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce.
Zhou Yu was not threatening Sun Ce, but telling the truth. Generally speaking, in a battle between princes, the loser is very miserable. For example, you said that Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, what was the final outcome? The corpses barely made it into the ground. The only son is still dead.
Gongsun Zan in Liaodong was even more miserable. All his family members were burned to death by himself.
You who surrendered are like the Tao family of Tao Qian, governor of Xuzhou. Tao Qian died of illness, and his two sons disappeared long ago.
Because keeping these individuals is a trouble in the end, there will always be those dead men or loyal ministers, or even treacherous ministers, under the banner of restoring the old masters, to make you tireless, so the best way is to kill them to avoid future troubles.
"If the lord can let go of his face, then our Jiangdong still has a chance of life!" Zhou Yu continued to speak to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce's eyes were frowning and entangled.
"Send two groups of people, all the way to Yangzhou, only a letter from the lord to Xiang'er as an elder brother, and then tell Xiang'er about Jiangdong's suffering in the letter, and see if His Royal Highness the King of Shu can allocate a batch of money and food Come to Jiangdong, relieve the urgency of Jiangdong, and talk about your nostalgia for Shouchun. In the tone of a courtier!" Zhou Yu advised Sun Ce on the side.
"What does this mean?" Sun Ce asked doubtfully.
"Reassuring our son-in-law Shu Wang Liu Mang is also sending a signal to Shu Wang Liu Mang, that is, Jiang Dong is willing to surrender, depending on how good the conditions are given by His Highness the Shu King. It is also to delay time!" Zhou Yu faced Sun Ce said. Negotiating conditions later is the normal way. Because if you don't have any conditions, it's like someone surrendering. What would people think? There are such good people. Negotiating conditions with Yangzhou, let him think that he can take Jiangdong without bloodshed, so that he can delay time!
"There is still a way to go to Jingzhou! The lord greets Liu Biao in the name of General Zhengdong, and exchanges our soldiers for Jingzhou's money, food and grass! As long as time and food and grass are obtained, then Jiangdong will still be the lord's Jiangdong, the Jiangdong of the Sun family. "Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce.
"What if Liu Mang, king of Shu, is unwilling, or does he just want to attack Jiangdong?" Sun Ce asked suspiciously.
"If Liu Mang, king of Shu, continues to attack Jiangdong blindly, then Yu is willing to live and die with the lord and Jiangdong!" Zhou Yu said firmly to Sun Ce.
"Okay. Let's take this bet!" Sun Ce was silent for a long time, and finally nodded heavily.
"Come on, catch up with the envoy from Yangzhou and tell me that the Marquis has a letter from his family and needs the envoy to deliver it." Sun Ce still took Zhou Yu's suggestion and cheated time from Yangzhou and money from Jingzhou. Once the two are in place, he Jiangdong Not a power of war.
…
"This Sun Ce actually went home to study?" In Yangzhou, Liu Mang was still very surprised. This Sun Ce was upright in the legend, and he got the inheritance of the Overlord of Western Chu. The overlord of Western Chu would rather die than cross Jiangdong, so Liu Mang is not surprised that Sun Ce can't write letters. It is even possible to kill the messenger. Then Liu Mang sent troops directly to push Jiangdong.
But I didn't expect Jiangdong Sun Ce to reply to the letter.
"Bring it up and let me have a look!" Liu Mang said to the envoy below.
"Yes!" Soon the letter was in Liu Mang's hands. Liu Mang looked at it at a glance. It was written on it that a brother was worried about his sister and cared for him. Liu Mang nodded involuntarily. This Sun Shangxiang and his Brother's relationship is still good.
Going on, Liu Mang frowned a little, because what was written on it was Jiangdong's current disadvantages, and Jiangdong's plight, all of which were Sun Ce pouring out his bitterness. I hope Yangzhou can give Jiangdong support,
The next thing is interesting, that is, Sun Ce actually used the honorific name for Sun Shangxiang, which means that it is in the meaning of the mistress, and even said that Liu Mang will send someone to Jiangdong to negotiate conditions. This Jiangdong little overlord wants to surrender gone? , the corners of Liu Mang's mouth curled up involuntarily.
"My lord, what did Sun Ce say in the letter!" Xu Shu next to him asked Liu Mang suspiciously.
"Yuanzhi, read it for yourself!" Liu Mang handed the letter to Xu Shu who was next to him. Xu Shu picked up the letter, read it, and finished it soon. surrender?"
If Jiangdong Sun Ce wants to surrender, then Yangzhou’s policy towards Jiangdong will have to change. If Sun Ce doesn’t surrender, then he can just attack Jiangdong directly. Come down to appease the people of Jiangdong. Taking down Jiangdong without bloodshed is also what Liu Mang wanted.
"Impossible!" Zhuge Liang on the side shook his head directly, "Master, all of this is Jiangdong Sun Ce's plan, he just wants to delay time." Zhuge Liang on the side just glanced at the letter and immediately spoke.
"Delaying time?" Liu Mang frowned.
"My lord, this Jiangdong Sun Ce has a good plan, no! It should be said that Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin have a good plan. He actually wants to delay the time so that my army can't take Jiangdong, so that Jiangdong can get food and grass from Jingzhou, and then in Jiangdong When Jiangdong's vitality is restored when the army is formed, then if I want to take Jiangdong in Yangzhou, I will have to pay a price several times higher than now. I am afraid that this letter was also written by Zhou Yu, just to confuse me in Yangzhou! "Zhuge Liang said to Liu Mang.
"Zhou Yu's strategy?" Liu Mang also hesitated. If it was on weekdays, then Liu Mang might immediately agree with Zhuge Liang's words, because whether Jiangdong surrenders or not, it doesn't mean anything to Liu Mang. If you don't surrender I'll hit you, now that I have soldiers and horses and righteousness in hand, beating you is still a joke.
But this is Jiangdong, which made Liu Wei a little headache, because Liu Wei came from the world, and he always had an inexplicable feeling about Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. A different kind of interest, Liu Mang had already recovered Zhuge Liang, so he wanted to recover Zhou Yu. Even Liu Mang has a bad taste and that is to ask Zhou Yu to help Zhuge Liang. Or let them be officials in the same palace.
So Liu Mang has a heart of love for Zhou Yu. Sun Ce is the same, if he gets these two people, then there will be three warriors who are at the peak of refining gods among the military generals Liu Mang.
And Xiang'er, this is Xiang'er's elder brother after all, Liu Mang doesn't want to go too far, if Sun Ce is killed, Sun Shangxiang will hate him for the rest of his life.
"Zijing, look at Sun Ce's handwriting from time to time." Liu Mang shouted to Lu Su who was silent all the time.
"Ah. Yes, yes!" Lu Su was in a daze, but when Liu Reck interrupted him, he immediately reacted, nodded to Liu Reck and stepped forward to take the letter.
"Zijing, why are you always absent-minded these days?" Liu Mang frowned a little, because Lu Su always seemed uninterested in targeting Jiangdong in the past few days, like a wooden man, and couldn't get any suggestions at all. role.
"Please forgive me, my lord. If my lord wants to attack the north and enter Jingzhou, then Su will die and die, but this is attacking Jiangdong. It is really hard for me to speak, I will die." Lu Su faced Liu Mang I said what I thought in my heart. If we attack Jingzhou or Cao Cao, then Lu Su must be a pawn and help Liu Mang make suggestions. However, Lu Su is really not interested in attacking Jiangdong, because he used to be in Jiangdong. I've done it. Although Lu Su despises Lu Su and thinks that he is not his master, Sun Ce treats Lu Su well and has the grace of knowing him. The other Zhou Yu can be said to have played with Lu Su naked. They are Lu Su's best friends. Although they say they are their own masters, Lu Su really doesn't want to deal with his best friends.
"Zijing is so righteous, what's the crime? A loyal person is like this to the old master. He should be more loyal to me, Liu Mang!" Liu Mang said to Lu Su with a smile.
"Many, thank you, Lord, for your understanding!" Lu Su thanked Liu Mang. Originally, he was nostalgic for the old master, which was very uncomfortable for the new master. It was like a person who switched jobs to another new boss, but he still thought The old boss is good, the new boss can be happy, so just now Lu Su was prepared to be reprimanded by Liu Mang, but in the end Liu Mang not only did not reprimand him, but also praised him.
Lu Su was grateful to Liu Mang for naturally picking up the letter and reading it carefully. He carefully identified each word and finally clasped his fists at Liu Mang on the letter and said, "My lord, this is indeed Wu Hou's note."
Lu Su, who served as a military adviser in Sun Ce's army, naturally knew what Sun Ce's handwriting looked like.
"Is this Sun Ce's handwriting?" Zhuge Liang asked Lu Su beside him with wide eyes, "Zijing, you have to take a closer look!"
After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Lu Su read it again and still got the same answer, "Kong Ming, this is indeed Wu Hou's handwriting. It can't be wrong. The tone of the letter above is also the same as Wu Hou's." When Lu Su was in Jiangdong I have also seen Sun Ce's tone of voice and attitude towards Sun Shangxiang. This family letter also contains Sun Ce's blame for his sister running away privately, which is the same as when Sun Ce scolded Sun Shangxiang when he was in Jiangdong.
"It's impossible, my lord. This little overlord of Jiangdong will never surrender. If he wants to surrender, he should have written a letter to me about surrendering in Yangzhou when I burned his tens of thousands of troops. How could it be delayed until now?" Zhuge Liang still If he didn't believe it, he didn't believe that the Jiangdong little overlord would surrender. This Jiangdong little overlord was extremely stubborn.
"This Marquis Wu said he was tired!" Lu Su said something mysteriously from the side.
Liu Mang nodded, "Kong Ming, the little overlord of Jiangdong, is also a human being. No matter how stubborn he is, he always knows the current affairs. Now that the situation in Jiangdong is there, why would he, Sun Ce, use to fight me in Yangzhou? Surrender is just a matter of course." That's true, not to mention that incident!" Liu Mang said to the crowd below. The people below all knew what he meant by what he said, that is, Sun Quan betrayed Sun Ce. "Zijing, how does this Sun Bofu feel about Sun Zhongmou?"
"It's not father and son, it's better than father and son, the brotherhood is so profound!" Lu Su said to Liu Mang, if you want Sun Ce to be surrounded by Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu is very sensitive to human ambitions. Like get rid of this person, because he feels threatened, he feels Zhuge Liang's ambition, unless such a person is used for his own use, he can only be killed as soon as possible.
The same is true for Sun Quan, so Zhou Yu reminded Sun Ce early on to beware of his younger brother. But under such a situation, Sun Ce still wanted to give Sun Quan a chance to send troops to Huaihuai. Give him a chance to take control of the military. It was this time that Sun Quan rebelled. Sun Ce was also reluctant to kill Sun Quan.
"It's no wonder he's tired after such a person betrayed him." Liu Mang remembered a person. Jiangdong Little Overlord especially imagines one person, that is Liu Mang's cheap father-in-law Lu Bu, both of them seem to be carved out of the same mold, Lu Bu is also an unruly person, but Lu Bu knows that he has been raped by Hao Meng and When Hou Cheng betrayed Lu Bu, his heart was also very tired. Even Lu Bu was unwilling to bear the feeling of hard work.
This time Sun Ce was betrayed by Sun Quan and by his closest relatives. It's like someone stabbed you in the heart. It is understandable for Sun Ce to be disheartened.
"But my lord." Zhou Yu was wary of Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang was also wary of Zhou Yu. They both knew what kind of character the other was and their strength.
"There is nothing wrong with Kong Ming! If my army enters Jiangdong, it will be easy to take Jiangdong, but the people of Jiangdong, do you want me to kill them all?" Liu Mang said to Zhuge Liang, taking Jiangdong is easy, but thinking about Jiangdong Govern it and become a place of taxation and a place of wealth. That would be difficult, because Yangzhou lacked officials. Could this Jiangdong be killed one by one, who will manage it? If Jiangdong Sun Ce surrendered, it would be different. In that case, Liu Mang could save more than half of the effort to make Jiangdong stable.
"Surrendering the little overlord of Jiangdong, this can also reflect my ability in Yangzhou!" Liu Mang surrendered a prince, and using this prince as a template, it will be much easier for others to accept surrender.
Seeing that Zhuge Liang could no longer persuade Liu Mang, he could only retreat with a bitter sigh.
"If that's the case, we need to send someone to Jiangdongzhong to discuss the conditions with our Marquis Wu." Liu Mang smiled and said to the civil and military people below, "Who wants to go?"
"My lord, Liang is willing to go!" Zhuge Liang took the lead and stood up without hesitation.
It's a good thing that Zhuge Liang is active, but this time Liu Mang frowned. This Zhuge villager has been preventing Jiangdong from surrendering to Yangzhou. I don't know why Zhuge Liang is so hostile to that Zhou Yu. Liu Mang is afraid that Zhuge Liang will go. It would be bad, so I shook my head, "Kong Ming, it's not that I don't want you to go, but Kong Ming, do you remember the Yangtze River! If you go to Jiangdong, I can't guarantee your safety!" Zhuge Liang wiped out Jiangdong's 60,000 elite army in the first battle. How many sons, husbands, fathers and brothers are there among the 60,000 soldiers and horses! So if Zhuge Liang went to Jiangdong, Liu Mang would still need to send troops to protect Zhuge Liang.
"My lord, besides Liang, is there anyone who knows Jiangdong better than Liang?" Zhuge Liang said with a frown. When Zhuge Liang was in Jingzhou, he was the military advisor of Jingzhou's Jiangxia Navy. He couldn't understand Sun Ce and Zhou Yu very well. "My lord only needs to send a team of troops. Even without the protection of troops, how can he, Sun Ce, still hurt me?" Zhuge Liang said with disdain. Zhuge Liang represented Yangzhou and Liu Mang. He went to Jiangdong If he was hurt, it would mean that Yangzhou's face was hurt and Liu Mang was angered. Is there any good fruit for Jiangdong! Therefore, in Jiangdong, even if Jiangdong Sun Ce hated Zhuge Liang no matter how much he had to send troops to protect Zhuge Liang, only by ensuring Zhuge Liang's safety could he better discuss conditions with Yangzhou.
Zhuge Liang was right, but Liu Mang was conscious of not wanting Zhuge Liang to go to Jiangdong, because he was afraid that Zhuge Liang would mess it up, not to mention that there was really someone who knew Jiangdong better than Zhuge Liang, so Liu Mang couldn't help but look at Jiangdong. He turned to Lu Su over there.
Although Lu Su and Lu Zijing were a little more honest, they also knew a little bit about the world. This Zhuge Liang had already recommended himself.
This is something that offends people, Lu Su is ready to close his eyes and rest his mind and ignore it, but seeing the light in Liu Mang's eyes, Lu Su can only smile bitterly in his heart, this offending thing seems to be After sitting down, Lu Su had no choice but to stand up, "Master, Lu Su is willing to go." Lu Su cupped his fists and said to Liu Mang.
"Zijing, you!" Zhuge Liang stared at Lu Su with wide eyes. Don't tell me that Zhuge Liang really doesn't understand Jiangdong like Lu Su, a native of Jiangdong, but Zhuge Liang didn't expect that an honest man like Lu Su would dare to come out. Offend him.
Looking at Zhuge Liang's eyes that could eat him, Lu Su had no choice. He couldn't say that the lord Liu Mang was threatening him. So Lu Su could only say to Zhuge Liang on the side, "Kong Ming is not my original contender with you. It's my hometown in the east of the Yangtze River. The so-called plan to fight against soldiers is the second to attack diplomatic relations, and the second is to attack soldiers. Yangzhou and Jiangdong are the same. If you can talk about it, let's talk about it!" Lu Su meant my brother Zhuge, I am from Jiangdong. Naturally, I hope that Jiangdong will surrender to Yangzhou peacefully. If this is the case, everyone will not meet each other in battle. In this way, Jiangdong will be devastated.
"You!" Zhuge Liang pointed at Lu Su, an honest man. He wanted to argue but didn't know what to say. Lu Su was wrong, yes, he is from Jiangdong. Make some contributions to the hometown of Jiangdong. You can't stop people.
"My lord, Zijing is honest. I'm not suitable for an envoy!" Zhuge Liang persuaded Liu Mang at the top, saying that after Zhuge, an honest man like Lu Su was sold out and still counting money for others, you are such a fool How can he be sent to Jiangdong as an envoy
Zhuge Liang is on the shoulders with Liu Mang. Liu Mang is also frowning, if you shoot Zhuge Liang, then it may be a bad thing, and those who don't fight in the end may become wars. We all know that Brother Zhuge is warlike.
If you don't send Zhuge Liang to send Lu Su, it's not good. This is the first time to offend Zhuge Liang. The second time, everyone knows that Lu Su is honest. Zhuge Liang has said it. It is true that Lu Su sent Liu Mang as an envoy. Afraid that Lu Su would sell himself.
"My lord, don't worry Zhuge Shangshu, our embassy will send someone to go to Jiangdong with Lu Shangshu!" It was Yang Hong who stood beside him and stood up to relieve Liu Mang.
"Foreign Minister Yang!" Zhuge Liang couldn't lose his temper right now, because Yang Hong was in charge of foreign affairs. If he really had to count, then both Zhuge Liang and Lu Su were laymen, and this Yang Hong was a serious collaborator. Zhang Zhao of Jiangdong wanted to get benefits from Yang Hong's hands, but he didn't expect to be played by Yang Hong to the bottom.
Now that Yang Hong has spoken, what can Zhuge Liang say.
"Okay! With Uncle Hong's words, Kong Ming, you should rest assured!" Liu Mang said with a smile, what can Zhuge Liang say.
"Lu Su stepped forward to listen to the order!" Liu Mang said to Lu Su below.
"Lu Su is here!" Lu Su stepped forward and knelt down.
"Lu Su, I have ordered you to go to Jiangdong as my envoy from Yangzhou. You can decide all matters, big and small. You can get anything you need from Yangzhou! There is only one thing, go to Jiangdong and take Jiangdong smoothly for me. Yes, Zijing, you decide for yourself!" Liu Mang gave Lu Su great power, if Lu Su didn't want to talk about it, then the 50,000 troops who were already on standby could directly Attack Jiangdong.
"Lu Su takes the order, and he will definitely live up to my lord's expectations!" Lu Su nodded and was very grateful for Liu Mang's respect for him.
Soon the discussion was over, Liu Mang had appointed Lu Su as the envoy, and Yang Hong sent someone as his deputy to help Lu Su go to Jiangdong and Jiangdong Sun Ce to discuss the appropriateness of surrender.
Zhuge Liang left with a bad expression on his face. Seeing Zhuge Liang's appearance, Lu Su couldn't help but shook his head, and hurriedly speeded up to catch up with Zhuge Liang.
"Kong Ming, Kong Ming! Wait for me, wait for me!" Lu Su strode towards Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang heard the voice behind him and saw that Lu Su and Lu Zijing couldn't help snorting, "What's the matter?"
"Kong Ming, you know, I really don't want to argue with you." Lu Su said to Zhuge Liang with a wry smile.
"Is it interesting to say such a thing?" Zhuge Liang said to Lu Su.
"Kong Ming, you are right. I am an honest person. I didn't expect the lord to send me to Jiangdong. I am helpless. After all, Jiangdong is my hometown, and my family is still in Jiangdong, so Kongming you Be patient, I really don't want Jiangdong and Yangzhou to go to war," Lu Su explained to Zhuge Liang.
"Hey!" Zhuge Liang looked at Lu Su's sincerity and shook his head, "Zijing, Zijing, you are usually wise and stupid, but why are you so pure this time! Jiangdong Sun Ce, Jiangdong Zhou Yu, you Don’t you understand who they are? My lord expects Jiang Dong to surrender, can’t you, Lu Su and Lu Zijing, see it? Jiang Dong can surrender all of them, but these two can’t!” Zhuge Liang said to Lu Su with his eyes wide open. .
What kind of person is Sun Ce? He is an ambitious person and has ambitions. If he is a general. Then there is nothing wrong with surrendering Yangzhou. Liu Mang may still assign important tasks. But Sun Ce has another identity, that is, he is a prince. In this way, Sun Ce's status is embarrassing. The princes who have surrendered since ancient times are generally good and raised in captivity like pigs. Do you think Sun Ce, who is so ambitious and ambitious, will agree with Liu Mang to raise himself in captivity
And Zhou Yu, who can't see Zhou Yu's loyalty to Sun Ce? Sun Ce will not surrender, and Zhou Yu will not surrender, and the two are one.
"Kong Ming, me!" Lu Su didn't know what to say.
"Zijing, if you treat me as a friend, then listen to me. Didn't the lord give you the right to decide all matters, big or small! Let the front-line general Lu Xun immediately send troops to Jiangdong to take Wuhu generation as a springboard for marching into Jiangdong, and after the The county soldiers divided into two groups, one went directly north to attack Jianye, and the other went south to recover Kuaiji, so Jiangdong can be broken!" Zhuge Liang had already made plans to attack Jiangdong.
If Liu Mang taught Zhuge Liang this position today, Zhuge Liang would send troops immediately.
"Kong Ming, please forgive me for not being able to promise you!" Lu Su on the side shook his head and rejected Zhuge Liang.
"Why?" Zhuge Liang stared at Lu Su firmly.
"My lord asked me to go to Jiangdong. It's really hard for me to make a decision. Kong Ming sent troops to attack the city." Lu Su also wanted to persuade Zhuge Liang.
"Don't tell me about the art of war. I, Zhuge Liang, can read less art of war than you Lu Su? Zijing, let me tell you, you understand the art of war but you can't understand people's hearts. Just wait and see. I will tell you that you are wrong Yes, I will also tell the lord. This Jiangdong cannot be subdued." Zhuge Liang said to Lu Su and then turned around and left, ignoring Lu Su's shout behind him.
"Kong Ming!" Lu Su gritted his teeth. In fact, Lu Su also wanted to listen to Zhuge Liang, because Zhuge Liang was his friend and his confidant, but Lu Su couldn't do it, because Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin were the same. He is Lu Su's friend.
"Kong Ming, don't worry, I will see through everything when I go to Jiangdong. If there is any change in Jiangdong, I will definitely let Jiangdong fall into the flames of war." Lu Su murmured to himself looking at the back of Zhuge Liang who was leaving.
Zhuge Liang didn't go back to his mansion immediately, but went to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. Zhuge Liang entered his office. He used a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write on it, and it was done in one go.
"Come on, send this letter to Jiangdong as soon as possible!" Zhuge Liang ordered to the people under his command.
"En? My lord, what are you?" The subordinates next to him were a little puzzled, knowing that many people knew about Zhuge Liang's rejection by Liu Wei in the conference hall, and he thought that Zhuge Liang was unwilling to give up.
"What's the point, it's just a letter from home, just send it to Jiangdongzhong as soon as possible." Zhuge Liang said angrily to his subordinates.
"Yes!" The subordinate didn't dare to say more, picked up the letter, and sure enough, he saw that it said, "Respect and love my brother Zhuge Jin, accept it, and Zhuge Liang's name is underneath it." This is indeed a book from home.
"Kong Ming sent a letter to Jiangdong?" In Liu Mang's study, Xu Shu was alone by the side. Xu Shu came to report to Liu Mang what happened in the past few days, and by the way, Zhuge Liang asked Someone sent a letter to Jiangdong.
"This Zhuge villager sent letters to Jiangdong behind my back? Could it be?" Liu Mang frowned and became suspicious.
Seeing Liu Mang frowning. Xu Shu hurriedly explained to Liu Mang, "My lord, that is just a family letter. Kong Ming definitely has no intention of betraying my lord." The relationship between Xu Shu and Zhuge Liang is still good. It can even be said that Xu Shu came to Yangzhou because of Zhuge Liang. After testing Liu Mang, he finally joined Liu Mang's subordinates.
Liu Mang took one more look at Xu Shu and shook his head, "Yuan Zhi, where are you thinking, am I the kind who doubts his subordinates? Zhuge Liang is not a spy from Jiangdong, even if he is, then I will admit it." Liu Mang He said to Xu Shu, if Zhuge Liang is Sun Ce's spy in Jiangdong, then this Sun Ce can really afford the money, the 60,000 elite navy, just to install a spy? So let's have more spies like this.
"I'm annoyed that this Zhuge villager still doesn't give up, and even sends a letter behind my back!" Liu Mang said angrily. This Zhuge villager, such a monster as Zhuge Liang, can he send ordinary family letters? No purpose Liu Mang didn't believe it. Indeed, Zhuge Liang had an older brother, Zhuge Jin, who was an official in Jiangdong, but if you didn't contact him sooner or later, why are you contacting now? Isn't that just unwillingness to give up!
"Sir, why don't I send someone to stop the messenger so that this letter cannot be sent to Jiangdong?" Xu Shu said to Liu Mang.
"No need, let him give it away, this Zhuge villager won't give up if he doesn't give it up, it's better to let him give it up so that he can give up completely!" Liu Mang didn't stop Zhuge Liang anymore, let him go. (to be continued..)
