No one can disturb my retirement life in the Red Mansion

Chapter 977 Conspiracy
"Zi Jing, Liang was just thinking of chatting with you. God is so kind that Liang and Lu Su can meet by chance." Zhuge Liang hurriedly got off the car and bowed to Lu Su with a smile. The two got off the car and exchanged greetings. Of course, at this moment, neither of them had thought that far ahead. This time, they were really waiting for a chance encounter.

"Yes, I was just planning to go to the inn to pay a visit to the military advisor. Come on, let's talk in the car." Lu Su still smiled enthusiastically.

"Is the Queen Mother feeling better?" Zhuge Liang asked hurriedly after getting in the car.

"No, several doctors have come to the palace to see him, and they argue every day about how to use the medicine." Lu Su also felt very worried.

He also went in to see Wu Guotai himself. That day, the old lady happened to be tired from reading and was resting with her eyes closed.

He hurriedly left, thinking that although Queen Mother didn't look sick, she did look a little strange. In addition, he hadn't seen Sun Shangxiang go out recently, so he knew that Queen Mother was in serious trouble.

Moreover, the first medical officer who treated Queen Mother died suddenly due to overwork, which made all the civil and military officials in the court sigh secretly. However, it was difficult to say these things to Zhuge Liang, so they hurriedly bowed to Zhuge Liang.

"Nowadays, no one dares to mention the matter of marriage. The Queen Mother has only one daughter. Even if she has always been wise, I am afraid she will not want to let her daughter marry far away at this time." Lu Su didn't know that Zhou Yu had ordered the army to secretly besiege Jingzhou. At this moment, he spoke to Zhuge Liang very sincerely.

"In fact, it doesn't matter whether our two families are married or not. The key point is that the Marquis of Wu and the Emperor's uncle are united in fighting against Cao. This is a natural alliance." Zhuge Liang is really eager to return home. It's not that he doesn't believe in Lu Su, but he feels strongly uneasy that all the famous doctors in the world are in Jiangdong.

Before, he was worried about Jingzhou, but now, he wanted to prevent even the rural village doctors from being released from the four places he occupied, and also not allow Dongwu to collect medicinal materials everywhere.

"That's natural. The military advisor and Lu Su have the same idea." Lu Su nodded. Marriage is one way of saying it. Looking back, the two families are natural allies. But the problem is that they also have a common enemy. The two families can't defeat Cao Cao alone. Instead of being defeated one by one, it's better to form a joint force.

"Then when is the Lord of Wu free to come and see him?" Zhuge Liang asked hurriedly. He wanted to see Sun Quan as soon as possible and persuade him to let him and Liu Bei go back.

"This may not work. My lord has ordered everyone in Ganlu Temple to pray for Queen Mother. Then, she will be invited to listen to the sutras. Since they cannot decide on a prescription, they can only ask for help from ghosts and gods." Lu Su was helpless.

Zhuge Liang nodded in agreement, and he was talking nonsense again. But his mind was working very fast. Ganlu Temple was a great opportunity. If things went well, he could persuade Wu Guotai to let Liu Bei's marriage be implemented. If not, let them go back first. At the same time, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu also went to Wu Guotai's palace to discuss with her about listening to the sutras in Ganlu Temple. Ou Mengmeng was allergic to the three words "Ganlu Temple". She clearly didn't mention it before, why did Sun Quan come to tell her about this?
Buddhism was introduced to China during the reign of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The first temple was the White Horse Temple built in Kaifeng in 68 AD. After more than a hundred years of spread, the most famous temple in Nanxu was Ganlu Temple. However, Wu Guotai herself did not believe in Buddhism. This place is just a place for fun. (Ganlu Temple is still in Zhenjiang, but one theory says it was built during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and another theory says it was built during the Tang Dynasty. However, there is a special note in front of the temple that this is where Liu Bei had a blind date.)
"Don't want to go?" Sun Quan asked hurriedly as he saw the old lady's face changing unpredictably.

"No, I just want to know what you are thinking. Who do you want to catch by using the old woman as bait?" Ou Mengmeng felt that these two must have bad intentions.

Unexpectedly, this is inexplicably consistent with the book. In the book, it was Duke Qiao who proposed Ganlu Temple, and then Sun Quan and Zhou Yu arranged for the executioners and made an agreement with the old lady: if you like him, we will marry him, if not, we will kill Liu Bei. The old lady fell in love with Liu Bei at first sight, so Sun Quan and Zhou Yu missed a good opportunity. This time, Duke Qiao ran faster than a rabbit, and it was clear that he would not get involved anymore. Now, what does Sun Quan mean by this?

Zhou Yu nodded hurriedly, "I have already sent troops to attack Jingzhou. How about Ganlu Temple, Queen Mother, just watch for fun?"

"Well, don't fight. The most important thing in the world is reason. The army should march slowly to let people know that we are the winners of the Battle of Red Cliffs and we are here to take over the defense. It would be best to find someone named Liu to write an appointment or something. Find someone to be the governor first." Ou Mengmeng nodded and couldn't help but mention it again.

"Yes, these days my son has written to Emperor Xian, ordering Lu Su to be the governor of Jingzhou, and Emperor Xian has agreed. Since the emperor has made such an arrangement, the IOU signed by Lu Su is of course not valid. He is on good terms with Liu Bei, and Lu Su's personal visit can also represent our attitude. The Sun-Liu alliance is as solid as a rock." Sun Quan and Zhou Yu had repeatedly discussed this outside, and the old lady's "reasoning" really worked. The more I thought about it, the more interesting it seemed.

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were both angry when they sent Lu Su. They knew that Liu Bei had occupied Jingzhou, so they sent Lu Su to take it back. Why did Wu spend money, materials, and troops to contain Cao Ren, but Liu Bei and his men took the opportunity to occupy four parts of Jingzhou? I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a shameless person.

As a result, Lu Su went there and was fooled by Zhuge Liang, so he signed an agreement with Liu Bei's group to let them borrow Jingzhou temporarily, and agreed that they would return Jingzhou when they conquered Xichuan. The pie was drawn very well, and Lu Su actually thought it made sense, so he signed it and went back happily.

Zhou Yu was fighting with Cao Ren at that time and was wounded by an arrow. The wound had not healed yet, but Lu Su got angry and the wound relapsed. It must be said that Zhou Yu was really good to Lu Su. Even so, Zhou Yu just said angrily, "You didn't even agree on a time. If they don't fight back to Xichuan in ten years, we won't be able to take back Jingzhou in ten years?" Lu Su still thought this was impossible.

So, this time when they said they would send someone to Jingzhou, the two of them decided to throw Lu Su over. Besides, the agreement was signed by Lu Su at that time. Although Dongwu did not want to recognize it at that time, they would not have thought of the beauty trap. But now the old lady has given them a good idea, clearly using an open conspiracy to defeat an open conspiracy. The main reason is that it is too infuriating. But even though they were so angry, the two of them still did not think of doing anything to Lu Su, which also shows how good this person's popularity is.

"Well, Zhuge Liang is here, and Jingzhou is ruled by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. So if your army is approaching, they probably won't listen to you, right? Even if we have an imperial decree, they won't listen. So we should still fight this battle." Ou Mengmeng nodded and asked casually. She really wanted to know how these two smart men, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, would take advantage of this gap between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

I didn't want to go to watch the fireworks today, but my sister said it was a group activity and I had to take my mom with me, so I had to go because I'm afraid of crowded places.
