Chapter 372 Summoned

Liu Jing took Zhuge Liang's hand and said: "In those days, General Fubo's horse aided Luoyue in the south, attacked Wuhuan in the north, and slaughtered the Qiang species in the west. Wherever the troops came, the four barbarians were at a loss, but the Wuxi barbarians failed, and the horses shrouded their bodies in leather. It is a pity. Kong Ming offered a wonderful plan to defeat the Wuxi barbarians, and personally led the army to go deep into the barren, wipe out the remaining evils, and regain the lost land of Yiling, so that the east of Chenyang returned to the country. The merits are enough to be a lord. Unfortunately, the world today Troubled, the road is blocked, it is difficult to go to Beijing to pay homage to the emperor, I pray for you."

"The general's praise is too high, I'm too ashamed to be worthy of it." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "The current Wuxi Barbarians are no longer as prosperous as they used to be. Moreover, those who sent troops at Liu Rui's invitation this time are only a small part of the Wuxi Barbarians. In the deep mountains and poor valleys, there are still many people who refuse to accept it, and it is only a rough decision at the moment. My contribution is far from enough to be able to be named a marquis."

"Why should Kong Ming be modest..." Liu Jing laughed.What Zhuge Liang said is true. Compared with a hundred years ago, Wuximan has declined somewhat, but its strength is still not to be underestimated.

In history, Pan Jun was the one who completely solved the problem of the Wuxi Man. He and Lu Dai, the great general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, led an army of [-] people. They spent several years and captured tens of thousands of people. The Wuxi Man was never recovered, and Wuling was able to restore peace. .

Zhuge Liang thought of Lu Su in the car, and said to Liu Jing, "Lu Zijing, the envoy from Jiangdong, is in my car now. Does the general want to see him?" They have been together for many days, cherish each other, and have become friends.

Liu Jing knew that it was Lu Su who came, and he was quite curious about this Jiangdong hero with a deep strategic vision, so he nodded his approval immediately.

"At Xiapi, Lu Su, meet General Liu." Lu Su came to Liu Jing with steady steps, bowed deeply, and said.

Liu Jing said with a smile: "You don't need to be too polite." Lu Su's appearance was queer and his temperament was extraordinary, which gave him a good first impression.

When Liu Jing looked at Lu Su up and down, Lu Su also looked at Liu Jing secretly. He was very tall, handsome, with a plump forehead and broad eyes. Don't dare to look directly.

Liu Jinglue chatted with Lu Su for a few words, and seeing the exhaustion on the latter's face, he said: "I came from the east of the Yangtze River and traveled thousands of miles. I must be physically and mentally exhausted at this moment. You might as well go to the hotel to rest first. , if there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Lu Su bowed to promise, firstly, he was really tired, secondly, such an important matter as forming an alliance is not suitable to be brought up at a meeting, it must be raised in a formal occasion, so as not to be rude.

Liu Jing asked the chief secretary Jiang Wan to be in charge of entertaining Lu Su and taking him to the pavilion to rest, while Liu Jing continued to comfort the soldiers who had returned in triumph.

The next day, Liu Jing summoned the civil servants in the main hall, and then ordered Lu Su to be summoned.

The moment Lu Su stepped into the gate of the main hall, dozens of eyes fell on him at the same time. Walk into the hall slowly, and see you at Shili.

Liu Jing got up and walked out of the case, took Lu Su's hand and came to the ministers, and introduced him: "The people in the hall are all the heroes of Jingnan. You already know Jiang Gongyan, this is my Zuo Changshi, Liu Zichu, this is my right Changshi, Huan Boxu..."

Lu Su said solemnly: "I have long admired the great name of the second monarch..."

Speaking of which, both Liu Ba and Huan Jie are more or less related to the Sun family in Jiangdong. Needless to say, Huan Jie ignored the danger and went to Xiangyang alone to meet Liu Biao and ask for the body of his old master Sun Jian. .

And Liu Ba's father, Liu Xiang, the former governor of Jiangxia, had a very close relationship with Sun Jian, so he was caught by the fish and died unexpectedly.

"This is Xu Yuanzhi, the right Sima, this is Deng Bomiao who joined the army, this is Lai Boxing, the lieutenant of the Zhengyi school..." Liu Jing introduced in turn.Then he turned to the other side and began to introduce the general, "This is Zhechong Zhonglang General Chu Ziping..."

Chu Fang was also in Sun Jian's former army, if his mother hadn't suffered any misfortune, he would have been in the same rank as Huang Gai, Han Dang and others at this moment.

However, although Huang Gai and Han Dang were former ministers of the Sun family and assisted the third generation, their official positions were not high, they were only school lieutenants.Chu Fang is under Liu Jing's command, but he is already a high-ranking Zhonglang general. As the saying goes, how can you know that it is not a blessing?

Lu Su met Jingnan Wenwu one by one, although he was just looking at the flowers, he also felt that Liu Jing's subordinates were full of talents, but when it came to talents, he privately thought that Jingnan was not as good as Jiangdong.

Both Jingnan and Jiangdong are located in the south of the Yangtze River. There are few and many scholars in the territory, and the literature is not prosperous.However, with the great chaos in the world, the scholars and people of the Central Plains raced to the south, and Jiangdong benefited greatly. Now those who are in power, such as Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Zhang Hong, Qin Song, Lu Fan, etc., even including Lu Su, are not natives of Jiangdong.

In contrast, because Liu Biao stood in the north and intercepted northern scholars, Jingnan benefited much less.This can be seen from the fact that most of the people in power in Jingnan are natives of Jingnan.

After seeing the ceremony, Lu Su returned to the hall, stood high-spirited, and talked freely. He didn't mention the alliance right away, but started talking about the origin of the two parties:

"In the past, more than ten thousand people gathered in the bandit area of ​​Changsha, and they attacked and besieged the city with great momentum. Sun (Jian) ​​broke the captives to Changsha, and beheaded the stars within ten months. There was also the Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi, which started in Ling and Gui , Echoing Ou Xingyao, Sun Polu led his army across the border to seek peace, and the three counties were in awe."

"After Dong Zhuo brought chaos to the country, Sun Polu took all the people from Jingnan to the north and marched to the Central Plains. Dong Zhuo was defeated, and the rats fled. I hate Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, who held back and made Sun Polu fall short in his efforts and failed to save the country. Sun Polu was a loyal man, determined to serve the country, and his reputation was the highest in Zhongxia, but in the end he died at the hands of a villain!"

"Liu Biao is a man who is loyal on the surface, but in fact has a wicked heart. Zhang Changsha has been in Jingnan for a long time, and his administration is lenient. He has won the hearts of Jiang and Xiang. Liu Biao is deeply jealous of him. For this reason, he did not hesitate to invade Changsha and besiege him for years. "

"The year before last, Sun (Ce) decided against Jiangdong at the beginning of his rebellion. He followed the emperor's edict to discuss Liu Biao with Cao Gong and Liu (Zhang) in Yizhou in order to relieve the siege of Changsha. Sun (Ce) personally led the army and defeated Huang Zu in Sha. Xian, because of the changes in the mountains behind, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops. After Sun Douni quelled the rebellion, he planned to send troops again to rescue Changsha, but he was assassinated while going out, and died at a young age."

"Fortunately, there was General Liu, when Zhang Changsha died of illness and Linxiang fell, he was not afraid of violence, and held the brave men from the three counties, Yingcheng, wiped out the Biao army, and regained Changsha."

"Sun (Quan) is in Jiangdong, and he is very encouraged by the news. He wants to form an alliance with General Liu and attack Liu Biao together."
