Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 118 Lu Su's Mission to Jiang Xia
At this time, Jiangdong's civil servants headed by Zhang Zhao strongly advocated surrendering Cao. These were basically from aristocratic families, and each of them had interests behind them.

Once the flames of war are spread to Jiangdong, the interests of the family will be affected. These people have the same idea as Liu Biao's Kuai Yue and Cai Mao. If they change their masters, they will still have high-ranking officials and generous salary. The only ones affected are the Sun family. .

Zhang Zhaonai was an important minister of Sun Ce Tuogu, and his reputation in Jiangdong was very high. If Zhou Yu hadn't led troops to the funeral, his status should be the same as that of Zhuge Liang in the late Shu Han Dynasty.

Because Sun Ce said the same thing as Liu Bei before his death: If Zhongmou doesn't do anything, the king will take it himself.If you can't win the battle, you can walk west slowly, and you don't have to worry about it.

Although there are coincidences in history, Zhang Zhao is not Zhuge Liang, and Sun Quan is not Liu Chan.

Zhang Zhao has great influence in Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu, the only one who can check and balance him, is far away in Chaisang.

Just when he was depressed, Lu Su came in to see him, and Sun Quan was overjoyed to see him: "Zijing came just in time, I have something to discuss with you."

"Is my lord worried about Cao Cao's affairs?" Lu Su asked.

Sun Quan nodded: "Cao Cao sent someone to send a letter. The words between the lines wanted to force me to surrender in Jiangdong. The princes outside the palace are doing their own thing, which makes me very disappointed. However, Cao Cao is indeed powerful. What can I do?"

"Cao Cao's soldiers are all on foot in the north. If he wants to cross the south of the Yangtze River, he needs a large number of ships. Although he has won Jingzhou, his warships must be insufficient. In addition, the navy has no training, so it may not be able to fight against me in Jiangdong." Lu Su analyzed. .

Sun Quan sat upright and said happily, "Oh? Zijing has a plan to defeat the enemy?"

Lu Su nodded and said: "A few months ago, my lord went west to Jiangxia. I think Guan Yu's navy is well-trained. Now Liu Bei is stationed in Jiangxia. They know Cao Cao's situation best. Why don't you send an envoy to Liu Bei to form an alliance and cooperate with us?" The soldiers of the two families will surely defeat Cao Cao."

"The public statement is very good, but who can be envoy?" Sun Quan asked.

"Su Bucai, I am willing to go to Jiang Xia on behalf of my lord." Lu Su said.

"Zijing can travel quickly," Sun Quan said.

Just as Lu Su was about to leave, he turned around and suggested, "If my lord is bored in the city, why don't you use the excuse of inspecting the navy and stay in Chaisang for a few days, so that you can find peace with the governor."

Sun Quan's green eyes lit up, and his heart was moved immediately, "Then we will meet in Chaisang."

"Wei." Lu Su turned and left.

Sun Quan was going to Chaisang to relax, and there would be guards and servants accompanying him, so it took a long time to prepare. Lu Su's light boat went upstream from Wujun, and it was several days before he arrived in Jiangxia.

When Lu Su came, he found that Liu Bei seemed to be waiting for him. After the two exchanged greetings, he went straight to the point and said: "Cao Cao has always been afraid of the general, but now he leads a large army to the south of Jingxiang, so that the king will be in danger sooner or later in the isolated city of Jiangxia. I don't know what to do?"

Liu Bei shook his head, showing a helpless expression, "Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, if you can block it, block it, if you can't, just go."

"Is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the king, and the subjects of the king, and where can the emperor escape?" Lu Su asked.

"Bei and Wu Ju, governor of Cangwu, have an old relationship. If Jiang Xia is defeated, he will go to him." Liu Bei felt guilty when he said this.

Lantian promotes scientific planting in Guiyang, and many people in Cangwu County have moved to Guiyang. At this time, the two sides have exchanged letters many times.

Lu Su laughed dumbly and said, "Wu Juliang has few soldiers, and he can't even protect himself, so how can he tolerate others?"

"Although it is not enough to live for a long time, let's rely on it temporarily, don't have it"

Before he finished speaking, Kong Ming appeared with a hand-operated feather fan, and Liu Bei immediately introduced him to Lu Su.

Zhuge Liang gave Liu Bei a long-term strategy, and earlier Lu Su gave Sun Quan a good strategy.

In Lu Su's plan, Sun Quan occupied Jingzhou and Yizhou, and divided the world with Cao Cao in the north. These two people with great strategic vision cherished each other after meeting.

During the conversation, Zhuge Liang analyzed Cao Cao's strengths and weaknesses very clearly. Lu Su's admiration for this man who regarded himself as a pipe musician became more and more. He found that Zhuge Liang also agreed with the Sun Liu alliance.

After talking about the situation, Lu Su said: "Emissary Liu, my lord has been in Chaisang recently, and Su wants to invite Kong Mingtong to clarify the truth and falsehood of the Cao thief, and discuss the alliance between the two by the way."

"I rely on the military adviser a lot, if I really want to go back quickly," Liu Bei was a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, Chaisang is only half a day's journey away, and Mr. Kong Ming will be back in a few days." Lu Su said.

"Since we want an alliance to fight against Cao, I think we can invite more families." Zhuge Liang added.

"Many? Who are you looking for on the Yangtze River?" Lu Su was full of doubts.

Liu Bei said: "Young Master Liu Qi has become the Lord of Jingzhou. He now has four counties in Jingnan and has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."

Lu Su asked in surprise: "When did this happen? Isn't he just the prefect of Lingling?"

"Ten or so days ago, I declared him as the governor of Jingzhou, and the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Wuling directly joined him." Zhuge Liang explained.

Lu Su was stunned for a long while, then Liu Qi is just a mediocre talent, why did these counties drop down?Does this guy also have the ability of his father to set Jingzhou alone?
"What happened to Zijing?" Liu Bei asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, now that the enemy is at hand, we should fight together, where is Liu Jingzhou now?" Lu Suxin said that he had to re-evaluate Liu Qi.

Zhuge Liang said: "Young Master went back to Jingnan for inspection. I don't know where he went now, but his new Lingling prefect is in Jiangxia. We can go to see Sun Polu together."

"Who is this?" Lu Su was full of doubts.

"My surname is Lan, my first name is Tian, ​​and my courtesy name is Ziyu." Zhuge Liang introduced.

"What's his talent?" Lu Su subconsciously asked, he had never heard this name mentioned.

"It's not known yet, but it seems to be quite a good cook." Zhuge Liang said.

"Can this person make the decision for Liu Qi?" Lu Su frowned, thinking that if he couldn't make the decision, Sun Quan would be displeased if he brought him over.

Liu Bei nodded in affirmation: "Lan Ziyu is the eldest son's confidant, Zijing can rest assured and take him to Chaisang."

After hearing this, Lu Su didn't ask any more questions. He guessed that this person was not a great talent, and he should have gained Liu Qi's trust through special means.

Lu Su and Lan Tian met for the first time when they boarded the ship. Because Lan Tian often went to the fields, his originally delicate and handsome features were tanned bronze.

Zhuge Liang introduced to both parties, and Lan Tian and Lu Su saluted and greeted each other.

Before Lu Su had time to communicate with Lan Tian, ​​two tall warriors followed him onto the boat.

Lu Su thought they were Lantian's guards, so he asked Zhuge Liang, "Mr. Kong Ming, who are these two?"

"This is General Zilong, and this is General Shuzhi," Zhuge Liang introduced.

"Are they also under the eldest son's command?" Lu Su became even more suspicious of Liu Qi when he saw the two men's heroics.

Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled, "They are all under my lord's tent, Ziyu is Jiang Xia's distinguished guest, so nothing can go wrong."

Lu Su felt that Zhuge Liang's words were very reasonable, and if something happened to Liu Qi's confidants, Liu Bei might have a hard time on his territory.

Just sent two fierce generals at once, is Liu Bei being too cautious?

"Are they all protecting Mr. Ziyu?" Lu Su asked puzzled.

"Zhao Yun was ordered to protect Mr. Ziyu."

"Chen Dao was ordered to protect Mr. Kong Ming."

After hearing this, Lu Su gradually lost his smile, and said in his heart that this Liu Bei is really considerate, the lord is not worried at all when he traveled such a long way from Wu Jun.
