Chapter 138: A Peace Deal is reached

In the Wuhu Inn, Lu Su squinted and sat quietly in a gazebo, opening his eyes from time to time to look in the direction of the entrance, as if he was waiting for something.

Two guards stood outside the pavilion, and there were faint droplets of water on their clothes, as if they had been standing here for a long time, and one of the guards took a few steps forward and asked tentatively, "Sir, I don't know what you are waiting for?" ”

Lu Su opened his eyes, stroked his beard and smiled, and said: "Now that the Jiangdong army has been camped in Wuhu for two days, according to the time calculation, the Jiangdong scouts should have found out the battle situation and military situation in the land of my three counties and Xuzhou, if nothing else, Sun Ce should send someone to summon me, and our life and death are today." ”

The two guards were stunned when they heard this, and the sergeant who asked them bowed their hands and said, "The gentleman is not surprised, and the villain is obedient!" ”

"What joy is there in life, and what is there in fear of death?"

Lu Su laughed a few times and said: "Hahahaha, don't worry, I have the grace to save Sun Ce, and now I am a messenger sent by the general, Sun Ce prides himself on being a hero at that time, even if he is unhappy in his heart, he will not kill me!" What's more, now that the Jiangdong soldiers and horses have been stationed in Wuhu for two days, it has been five days since we sent messengers to report to Anhui County and the lord, and Sun Ce's fighter plane has been lost, and now the Jiangdong army can only turn around and go north to attack Guangling County, and he still needs the lord's response, so it will not be difficult for me to wait! ”

"Sir, happy event, happy event!"

While everyone was talking, a guard ran over happily and said, "Sir, the two brothers who were sent out earlier have returned, and Lord Changshi has sent back the news, the land of the three counties has been strictly guarded, and the Xunyang area has also been arranged with soldiers and horses, so that Mr. can rest assured; The lord also came with news that the lord had captured the four counties of Huailing, and defeated Guan Yu to force back the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou, and now he had reached an agreement with Liu Xuzhou, and the lord had withdrawn and returned to Dongcheng at this time. ”

"Hahahaha, the lord was able to end the battle of Xuzhou so quickly, God really helped me, now it's Sun Ce who should be in a hurry!" Lu Su laughed a few times and said, "Let's go, go back to the house, don't wait any longer!" ”

Just when Lu Su was about to go back to the house, he saw a guard walk in with a few Jiangdong Army sergeants, Lu Su heard the prestige, and saw that these Jiangdong Army sergeants were wearing the clothes and armor of Sun Ce's personal guards, Lu Su secretly said in his heart: The time to come is finally here, it seems that Sun Ce really can't bear it!

Several sergeants came to Lu Su's side, and the general at the head bowed his hand and said, "Mr. Zijing, my family Wu Hou is invited, and please wait with me!" ”

Lu Su bowed back and said, "Wu Hou is invited, how dare you not go down, and ask a few brothers to lead the way!" ”

……

"Lord, Mr. Zijing has arrived."

Sun Ce Shuai's tent, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu both sat on the couch with their eyes closed, the two were irritable and no one had the heart to speak, after hearing the sergeant's report, Sun Ce and the two of them cheered up and tidied up their clothes and armor and sat up.

As the saying goes: You can't lose if you lose, although Jiangdong is planted this time, neither of them wants to lose face in front of Lu Su!

Sun Ce gave Zhou Yu a look, and Zhou Yu said loudly: "Please come in!" ”

Lu Su walked into the handsome tent in response, and saw that this time the handsome tent was empty and lost the prestige of last time, and he was even more sure of his judgment in his heart, Sun Ceding had already decided to go north to attack Guangling County!

Lu Su bowed down and said, "Foreign Minister Lu Su greets Wu Hou!" ”

Sun Ce helped him and said, "Get up, please sit down!" ”

After Lu Su took his seat, Zhou Yu got up and said: "I have waited for Zijing for a long time in the past two days, and after thinking about it, I don't want to bear the brotherly righteousness of the general and the queen, nor do I want to let the southeast fall into turmoil but let Cao Cao be proud, and I have discussed with the generals several times, and I have decided to follow Zijing's advice and turn around and go north to attack Guangling County, but I don't know how your lord plans to deal with our army?" ”

Lu Su chuckled, bowed to Sun Ce, and said, "Wu Hou is generous, bow down!" Wu Hou's affection, when I go back next time, I will definitely tell my lord. ”

"As for how to deal with your army's attack on Guangling County, our lord has already made arrangements, and now General Li Siye, the captain of Lujiang, is stationed in the high mountains, and he can attack Dongyang counties in the north of Guangling County at any time; Our lord has also returned to Dongcheng with his army, and he can come out at any time to attack the counties of Tangyi in the east of Guangling County; As long as our lord and General Li send troops to Guangling, Chen Deng must send troops and horses to meet the battle, and then his troops in the area of Guangling River will be empty, and Wu Hou will be able to take advantage of the weakness to lead the army to take Guangling City! ”

"The essence of the whole county of Guangling County is in Guangling, Jiangdu, Gaoyou, and Sheyang counties, as long as Wu Hou takes Guangling City and captures Chen Deng, the rest of the places can be handed over!" When Lu Su said this, he bowed his hand and said: "With Wu Hou's ability to use troops and the combat power of the Jiangdong Army, it is easy to take Guangling City, which is empty, and I will congratulate Wu Hou here!" ”

Sun Ce listened to Lu Su's words, and nodded secretly in his heart, according to the plan, this time it was Yuan Yao who sent troops first, and their Jiangdong Army moved later, even if this plan failed, there would be no loss to them, so thinking about it, Yuan Yao should still have some sincerity in offering the land of Guangling County.

Sun Ce turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu thought for a moment, and felt that there should be no fraud in it, so he also nodded secretly.

Seeing this, Sun Ce's heart was settled, and he looked at Lu Su and asked, "Then when will your lord send troops?" ”

Lu Su smiled slightly, and said: "Wu Hou led 100,000 Jiangdong soldiers and horses to garrison Wuhu to threaten the three counties, in such a situation, how dare my lord send troops to attack Guangling County and provoke a strong enemy?" You must know that Guangling Chen Deng is not an easy person, if our army and Guangling soldiers and horses are entangled in battle, I am afraid that Wu Hou will hesitate again! ”

Sun Ce stared at Lu Su coldly for a moment, Lu Su also looked at him without fear, and after a while, Sun Ce smiled and said, "What should I do with Zijing's opinion?" ”

Lu Su pondered for a moment and said: "If the Jiangdong army rushes north, Guangling Chen Deng will definitely take strict precautions, and if it comes like this, it will be detrimental to Jiangdong's advance into Guangling County; But if Wu Hou does not withdraw his troops, it will be difficult for my lord to use troops, which is really a dilemma; How about a compromise based on the following opinions? ”。

"Oh? What kind of compromise does Zijing want to make? ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "The advance and retreat of the navy can only go from the waterway, which is not conducive to covering up the whereabouts, Wu Hou left the navy to continue to garrison Wuhu as a suspicious soldier, and Wu Hou personally led 50,000 infantry armor to secretly go north, so that it can not only facilitate the Jiangdong soldiers and horses to attack Guangling County, but also let my lord rest assured that he will use troops, I don't know what Wu Hou thinks of this proposal?" ”
