Major General's Journey through the Three Kingdoms

At this time, Liu Qi was of little use.Liu Bei asked him to be the prefect of Nanjun, but it was just a temporary post.Now that he is dead, Liu Bei doesn't seem sad.He knew that once Liu Qi died, he would be able to lead Jingzhou Shepherd.

The next day, Liu Bei personally attended the funeral for Liu Qi and received officials from various states and counties.At dusk, Liu Bei thought that no one would come, so he wanted to retreat to rest.Suddenly reported: "Jiangdong Lu Su came to offer his condolences."

Upon hearing this, Liu Bei immediately asked Zhuge Liang to receive him.Zhuge Liang took Lu Su to Liu Qi's mourning hall.Lu Su burned a stick of incense and gave some condolences.After the condolences are over, treat each other with wine.

At the table, Lu Su said: "I discussed with Uncle Liu Huang about borrowing Jingzhou before, but I wonder if you have remembered it?"

As soon as Liu Bei heard it, he knew that Lu Su wanted to claim Jingzhou back.So he said: "How dare you forget it? I don't know why Zijing asked this question?"

"We discussed at that time that after the emperor's uncle captured Sichuan and Shu, he would return it to Jingzhou. Does Liu Huangshu remember?"

"Of course!" Liu Bei nodded.

Seeing this, Lu Su asked again: "But I don't know when Uncle Liu Huang will go to seize the land of Sichuan and Shu?"

"Now that the time has not come, I am afraid it will be delayed for some days."

"Oh, I don't know when the emperor uncle wants to wait until the time has come?"

"This..." Liu Bei didn't know how to answer after hearing this.Because he really didn't know when he could enter Sichuan.So he looked at Zhuge Liang.Zhuge Liang stepped forward a long time ago: "My lord just won Jingzhou not long ago, and the army and horses have not been reorganized yet. Besides, the land of Sichuan and Shu is dangerous and can be captured in a day or two."

Lu Su said: "Since the envoy still needs to rectify the army, how about letting the governor of my family seize it for the emperor's uncle, and then exchange it with Jingzhou?"

Zhuge Liang thought: So Lu Su wanted to use the matter of returning Jingzhou to force the lord to go and seize western Sichuan.So Lu Su said: "My lord has already borrowed the land of Jingzhou from the Marquis of Wu, how can we let Marquis Wu send troops to take the land of western Sichuan for us now?"

Lu Su said: "My family's governor said that he will seize Sichuan for you in exchange for the land of Jingxiang."

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "I'm sorry to trouble the governor, but this is my lord's business, how can I bother others to help. When we win Sichuan, we will definitely return Jingzhou."

Hearing this, Lu Su persuaded him: "Uncle Liu Huang, today is different from the past. In the past, Marquis Wu was willing to lend Jingzhou to you, intending to devote himself to the Northern Expedition. Now that Hefei has returned from a setback, his prestige has been ruined, so he wants to take Jingzhou back in exchange for it. A little face. I also hope that Uncle Liu Huang will return Nanjun to Jiangdong for the sake of the sworn brotherhood of the two families."

Zhuge Liang clasped his hands together and said, "Please ask Marquis Wu to allow some more time, so that we can think of a way to break the river."

Lu Su couldn't help but fell silent.Seeing this, Liu Bei also wept and said, "Now that Mr. Liu Qi has died of illness, Marquis Wu wants to take back his territory. How can Bei be worthy of Liu Jingsheng's spirit in heaven?"

Lu Su is an honest person, and he couldn't bear to hear this: "Uncle Liu Huang, Zijing came here not to ask you to return Jingzhou immediately, but to urge you to seize Yizhou as soon as possible."

Zhuge Liang said: "I hope Zijing will report back to the governor. Now that Liu Zhang and Zhang Luming are fighting secretly, my lord will enter Sichuan soon."

Lu Su was helpless: "In this case, Zijing will wait for the good news from Uncle Liu Huang."

Liu Bei said: "Now that Sun and Liu are united against Cao Cao, why should Marquis Wu be in a hurry about the Jingzhou matter?" Then he toasted Lu Su.Lu Su didn't say another word.He knew that his trip would definitely be fruitless, and he came here just to urge him.After the banquet, Lu Su dismissed Liu Bei and went to Chaisang.

Lu Su returned to Chaisang and went to see Zhou Yu.Zhou Yu asked, "How about Zijing?"

Lu Su shook his head: "There is no result."

When Zhou Yu heard this, he said angrily, "Zijing, we shouldn't have lent Jingzhou to Liu Bei."

Lu Su: "At that time, Liu Bei had already stationed troops at Youjiangkou. Even if we didn't lend Jingzhou to him, he would still take it forcibly."

Zhou Yu thought for a while: "It's meaningless for us to argue about this now, so we might as well think about getting Jingzhou back."

Just as he was talking, he heard that Cao Cao had an envoy.When Zhou Yu heard this, he asked Lu Su, "What is the purpose of Cao Cao's envoy here?"

Lu Su said: "It must be because of Nanjun's affairs."

Thinking about it, Zhou Yu asked the envoy to come in.Zhou Yu asked the envoy why he came here.The envoy handed Zhou Yu a letter.Zhou Yu took the letter, opened it and read it for a while.I saw the letter said: "Captain, are you all right here? I heard that Liu Qi, the governor of Jingzhou, died of illness. The Holy Majesty wanted to think about one person going to take over the land of Nanjun. Later Mengde recommended the Dudu to the Holy Majesty. He said that the Dudu is the pillar of the imperial court and has the ability to command the army. Fang. After hearing the words, the Holy Majesty was very pleased, and sent an imperial edict ordering the governor to be the prefect of Nanjun."

Zhou Yu was overjoyed after reading it.So it is entertaining to make.Then handed the edict to Lu Su, and Lu Su also browsed it.Then he said: "Cao Cao's move must be to provoke the friendship between the Sun and Liu families."

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Zijing, don't worry too much. We can stick to this letter and go to Jingzhou, so that Liu Bei will think that we have joined forces with Cao Cao. Then Liu Bei will have some scruples."

Lu Su suggested: "However, it is better to discuss this matter with Marquis Wu."

"Why?"

Lu Su became worried: "If Liu Bei really believed it, wouldn't the Sun-Liu alliance be broken?"

Zhou Yu signaled Lu Su not to worry: "Who are Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang? How could Cao Cao not know about such tricks?"

"Since Liu Bei knows the clues, why should we take this edict against Liu Bei?"

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Zijing, you may not be as good as me in terms of strategy. This edict is only to inform Liu Bei that if Sun Cao joins forces, the Liu family will perish."

When Lu Su thought about what the governor said, it was not unreasonable.But Lu Su is a loyal and honest person, and finally decided to discuss the matter with Wu Hou.At this time, Sun Quan pondered to summon a large army to attack Hefei again.Hearing that Lu Su came back from Jingzhou, he called him under the tent.Sun Quan asked Lu Su how he was going to Jingzhou.Lu Su then briefly described what happened in Jingzhou.

After Sun Quan heard this, he immediately tensed his face: "I knew you were going here, and you would definitely return without success."

"Why did my lord say that?"

"I just asked you to go to Jingzhou to put pressure on Liu Bei, in case he stays in Jingzhou and doesn't want to seize Shuchuan."

Lu Su understood Sun Quan's meaning: "But Cao Cao has brought a letter at this time." Then he handed it to Sun Quan.Sun Quan looked at it for a while.He said with a smile, "This is Cao Cao's plan to separate people."

"My lord, should I tell Liu Bei about this?"

Sun Quan pondered for a while: "What does the governor mean?"

"The governor means that as long as there is a glimmer of life, don't miss it."

Sun Quan sighed and said, "Speaking of Jingzhou, we are really ashamed of the governor. We thought that he would fight Jingzhou and lose troops. We never thought that we would lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei when he was about to take down Nanjun."
