Chapter 7 They Are All Temporary Workers

The city gate of Xiakou opened slowly, and Lu Su walked in, dressed in green.

As early as the Battle of Guandu that year, Lu Su offered Sun Quan the best strategy, explaining the development direction of Soochow.

According to the whole Yangtze River, divide the world with Yuan Cao, and wait for the world to change, so as to achieve Gaodi's career.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to annex Jingzhou and Yizhou, the territories of the two princes surnamed Liu.

Ideals are beautiful, but Lu Su overestimated Soochow's ability to expand abroad.

Liu Biao has guarded Jingzhou for more than ten years, and it is not so easy to deal with.

Until Liu Biao died and Cao Cao went south, the forces of Soochow still failed to enter the core area of ​​Jingzhou.

After the Battle of Chibi, the Sun Liu Alliance won a big victory. Soochow wanted to take advantage of the situation to take control of Jingzhou, but the long tug-of-war in Jiangling City not only consumed Soochow's elite, but also made Zhou Yu, an unworldly famous general, defeated on the battlefield.

Lu Su, who took over the position of governor from Zhou Yu, quickly recognized the reality, adjusted his strategy, and gave up Nanjun to Liu Bei, and Jiang Xia who had fully digested it.

However, the change in Xiakou challenged Lu Su's strategy.

When Marquis Wu learned about Xiakou's loss, he was furious and wanted to gather an army to recapture Xiakou.

However, something happened in Soochow.

First, rumors of Sun Quan's brother killing spread widely in Soochow, making people's hearts fluctuate. Marquis Wu did not dare to leave Jingkou. Then Shanyue rebelled and restrained Jiangdong's troops. Then, news came from the north that Cao Jun's [-] troops had arrived in Hefei. Sun Quan didn't know the truth, let alone act rashly.

Naturally, Lu Su could not think that these things were all accidental.

But looking at the layout and planning, one link after another, it doesn't look like Wolong's handwriting.

Lu Su already knew in his heart who the opponent he was about to face was?

Therefore, before reaching the hall, Lu Su's laughter came.

"Brother Shiyuan, long time no see."

The moment Lu Su entered the hall, his smile stopped abruptly.

There was no Pang Tong in the hall, but a four or five-year-old child sitting there eating candied fruit.

Lu Su thought that the person leading the way had made a mistake, but when the child saw him, he was all smiles.

"Great Governor!"

"Excuse me, son?"

"Liu Chan!"

Lu Su's face was astonished, but then it was full of smiles.

Although he didn't know what Pang Tong meant, but as a diplomat, he still maintained a decent manner.

"It turned out to be Mr. Liu Chan. When I met him, he was still in his infancy. I didn't expect that he is quite magnanimous now."

Liu Chan is indeed stronger, like a little tiger.Let alone four or five years old, even seven or eight years old, people still believe him like this.

"Why is the governor here?"

"I'm about to pay my respects to Brother Shi Yuan!"

"The military division is not here, and now I will handle the entire Jiangxia affairs."

Lu Su was unhappy.

What does Pang Tong mean by this? It’s fine for him to hide himself. Neither Zhang Fei nor Zhao Yun is there, so he left a child for himself?

But no matter how unhappy he was, Lu Su still had the attitude he should do.

"My lord, do you know that Xiakou is under the jurisdiction of Dongwu?"

"Know!"

"Then why attack it?"

Liu Chan spread his hands.

"I can't help it either!"

Lu Su frowned.

"What do you mean son?"

Liu Chan took out Zhou Shan's first handwritten letter from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Su.

Lu Su glanced at it roughly, and then denied it.

"My lord, don't get me wrong, my lord definitely has no intention of holding you hostage."

In Lu Su's heart, Sun Quan had already been buried many times. It's nothing more than doing this kind of thing. How could he not wipe his butt clean?

"My lord has always suspected that Zhou Shan is a spy of Cao Cao. This misunderstanding must be caused by him."

"I don't believe it either!"

Liu Chan nodded affirmatively and agreed.

"If my uncle wants to see me and say hello, why don't I go to Jingkou to see him? Why bother?"

"My lord is wise, we must not be challenged by that villain, ruin the friendship of the alliance, let the Cao thief succeed, and make the revival of the Han Dynasty hopeless!"

Liu Chan stood up from his seat, patted the debris on his legs, and looked very proud that he had settled the matter.

"Now that the misunderstanding between our two families has been resolved, let's stop fighting!"

Lu Su didn't expect this kid to be so talkative, so he didn't hold on to the handwriting, but took it gently.

"Then when will Xiakou return to my Soochow?"

Liu Chan sat back down again.

"If the governor doesn't say it, I really forgot."

"Young Master, you don't plan to return it?"

"How can it be done? Pay it back, you must pay it back."

Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief, but Liu Chan said again.

"However, if you had come two days earlier, I would have paid it back on the spot. Now it's really difficult."

"How to say?"

"The governor knows that my father is in Yizhou now, right?"

"I heard that General Zuo is at the pasture in Yizhou, drinking for many days."

Soochow is still very concerned about Liu Bei's activities in Yizhou. Liu Bei entered Shu, and Qiu did nothing wrong. Now he and Liu Zhang are drinking and enjoying every day, looking like brothers and friends.

"My uncle was worried that I would be bullied after my father left, so he sent two thousand Dongzhou soldiers to protect me. A few days ago, I heard that I was taken away. It was these two thousand Dongzhou soldiers who broke through Xiakou."

Speaking of this, Liu Chan had a troubled expression.

"Of course I don't believe these rumors, but those two thousand Dongzhou soldiers did. Now that they are in Xiakou, they must seek justice for me."

Lu Su had been treating Liu Chan like a child just now, so he didn't have much defense in his heart.

Listening to the chatter now, I feel something is wrong.

"What did the young master say?"

"The two thousand Dongzhou soldiers can only be controlled by Yizhou Mu Liuzhang. How about asking my uncle to write a letter to my uncle, explaining clearly, and let him order the withdrawal?"

Lu Su took a deep breath, even though he had cultivated himself well enough, he almost cursed after hearing Liu Chan's words.

This kid is really good enough!
Is it not enough to disrespect his cheap uncle and make him go around in circles?

It is impossible for Sun Quan to write this letter!
"One side is my uncle, and the other side is my uncle. I'm caught between the two, it's really hard to be a man!"

Liu Chan let out a long sigh.

"Presumably the governor can also understand my difficulties!"

Lu Su blushed. At this moment, even though he had a thousand words in his chest, he couldn't hold back a single word.

On this day, Lu Su left Xiakou City and returned to Wu Jun's barracks.

Just when Cheng Pu, Lu Meng and other generals from Eastern Wu came up to ask about the specific situation, whether it was war or peace, Lu Su, the governor, did not say a word.

After a long time, he turned around and glanced in Xiakou's direction, stroked his beard, and looked like a Gaoshi.

"This son really has the style of a great ancestor!"

Just when all the generals of Eastern Wu didn't know what happened, Lu Su returned to the camp and closed the tent door.

All the generals did not dare to go forward, only Lu Meng walked by the tent alone, and he heard the normally well-cultivated Governor of Lu growl in the tent.

"The rogue strength of their surname Liu is all inherited from their ancestors!"

Lu Meng looked embarrassed and could only walk away silently!
