Mr. Tao said: "Please calm down the general, please listen to my explanation." ”

"Okay, then you can say it! I'd love to hear what you have to say! ”

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Tao was quite reused by Long Huan, as the closest general to Long Huan, Long Ting would not have bothered to take care of this weak scholar who couldn't lift a knife or pull a bow!

Mr. Tao bowed slightly to Long Huan and said: "Lord, no matter how bad Zhou Xu's behavior is, after all, he is Lu Congshou's brother-in-law, and he is a general in the top three positions under Lu Gong, after all, we have to succumb to Lu Gong, how can we hate Zhou Xu?" ”

Long Huan hesitated: "Duke Lu has written to me many times, and there are many words of intimacy in the letter, even if Zhou Xu is evil, it is impossible for Duke Lu to blame me..."

"Lord, Zhou Xu's sister is Lu Xu's wife, and Zhou Xu's father is the former lord of Jiangzhou, the status of the Zhou family in Jiangzhou is unimaginable, Lu Gong can sit firmly in the position of the lord of Jiangzhou, how can it not be the work of the Zhou family? We have lost Lingzhou and Pule, just like the water without a source and a tree without roots, why should we have no place in Jiangzhou because the Zhou order is a little bad? ”

Mr. Tao persuaded.

Long Huang was still full of doubts: "But if we obey Zhou Xu's orders, won't the ten thousand soldiers and horses we have set up be used by Zhou Xu?" Without these 10,000 soldiers and horses, we have no status under Lu Gong! ”

"Don't worry!"

Mr. Tao said: "On the surface, let Zhou Xu not make mistakes, Zhou Xu has an order, let's take it, if we want to attack the city, let's make the momentum bigger, throw a few corpses and throw them down, just give him an explanation..."

Long Huang was overjoyed and said: "Mr. is a good plan, after all, we have 10,000 soldiers and horses, Zhou Xu is bold and reckless and does not dare to persecute us, in case we take refuge in the Han army, then even if he escapes with his life, Lu Gong will not spare him!" ”

"That's right!"

Mr. Tao twisted the beard on his lips and said triumphantly.

Long Huan finally figured it out at this time, and patted his thigh, although the wound involved hurt, he still said happily: "Lao Tao really has you, and you have your first merit." ”

Mr. Tao hurriedly bowed down and said, "This is the blessing of the lord!" ”

Suddenly, there was a cheerful atmosphere outside the tent, which attracted the curious probes of the soldiers on duty outside.

Long Huan simply bandaged the wound, and then ordered Long Ting to guard the camp well, and he took Mr. Tao and Long Huang to Zhou Xu's camp.

At this moment, at the head of Pule City, Long Yu and Guo Jia watched the two camps outside the city and Dragon Ring.

Long Yu said worriedly: "Zhou Xu is worthy of being a general under Lu Zhoumu, this camp is indeed well arranged, and it is also quite orderly to lead the troops, although we can mobilize 4,000 people in the city, but most of them are young and strong who can't get on the stage, I'm afraid they will be defeated by Zhou Xu!" ”

Guo Jia comforted on the side: "Don't panic the head of the Long family, according to the next opinion, Zhou Xu and Longhuan will definitely not be able to get along, and the siege will never last, so please wait with peace of mind." ”

What does that mean? That Longhuan befriended Lu Congshou in every way, and Zhou Xu was Lu Congshou's wife and brother, how could the two not be harmonious? ”

Guo Jia shook the fan lightly, but suddenly smiled: "I only knew that Lu Congshou was a heroic character, but I didn't know the specific personnel of Lu Congshou, but now I have been in Pule for a few days, but I have learned what kind of character this Lu Zhou Mu is from the words of others." ”

"Please also ask the envoy to solve your doubts below."

Long Yu said sincerely.

Guo Jia took Long Yu's hand but said: "Everyone says that Lu Congshou is a hero, but in the west is Ji Changrun, who is the dog of the land, and Lingzhou in the east is greatly reduced in strength because of the civil strife of the Long family, and in the south, Mu Mizhao of Yingzhou only knows the heresies of gods and ghosts, favors Fangshi, and is extremely superstitious.

If Lu Congshou is really a hero, why did he not advance an inch in Jiangzhou, and only got half of the barren Lingzhou within a few years? You said? Why is that? ”

"It's... This... The terrain of Yizhou is dangerous, and a single pass can block tens of thousands of troops, which is difficult to capture, and Yingzhou and Nanzhou are even more miasma, snakes and insects, even if there are millions of troops, it is difficult to recover these two places, not to mention that although Mi Zhao is extremely superstitious, he is a nobleman of the original Chu State, and the barbarians in Yingzhou and Nanzhou are all under his orders, so even if the Han Duke is here, I am afraid it will be difficult to take these two states, right? ”

"And Lu Congshou was able to take half of Lingzhou, it was also because of the civil strife in my Long family, which allowed Lu Congshou to pick up a bargain, if there was no civil strife, An Neng would let him succeed. Since Long Kun and his son are here, Lu Congshou has not been able to pick up any bargains under us. It's just that now..."

Long Kun didn't talk about it, after all, Long Kun was killed by the Dead Han Army, and he deserved to die.

"Haha, in this way, this Lu Congshou's ability is nothing more than that!"

Guo Jia laughed loudly: "Master of the Long family, you underestimate this Luzhou Mu too much, and the people who underestimate him are all dead, for example, his good father-in-law, the former Jiangzhou Mu Zhou Tong, that is, Zhou Xu's father." ”

"What!"

Long Yu stood up in shock, "How is this possible! ”

"Then why does Zhou Tong have a parent, and he also passed on the Jiangzhou pastor to Lu Congshou?"

Guo Jia asked again.

"The news is that ..."

"The news from Jiangzhou is that Zhou Tong thinks that Zhou Xu is young and has no qualifications, so he can't inherit the position of Jiangzhou, right?"

Guo Jia directly interrupted Long Yu's words.

"Yes, yes!"

Long Yu could only keep responding, and his head was blank.

"You never thought that it was Lu Congshou who concealed Zhou Tong's death and modified Zhou Tong's will? After all, Lu Congshou at that time was too guarded in Jiangzhong, and he had great achievements, and the elderly Zhou Tong couldn't suppress him anymore, so isn't it very simple for Lu Congshou to close the news?

And Zhou Xu was not in the river at that time, but served as the commander of a battalion at the border. ”

Long Yu was already dumbfounded, and finally asked Guo Jia dryly, "What does the envoy mean?" ”

Guo Jia said: "Lu Congshou has not been enterprising for a few years, but he is just cleaning up the inside, and now it is the turn of Zhou Xu, the person who can finally threaten his position, but Lu Congshou has always missed a little, and the Central Plains melee at the beginning gave Lu Congshou the opportunity to completely control Jiangzhou."

And now that the Central Plains is pacified, the Duke of Han has taken charge of the eleven states in the world, and he is about to go south in the near future, Lu Congshou has no chance to quietly get rid of Zhou Xu, so he can only send Zhou Xu out and kill Zhou Xu with our sword, how can I let Lu Congshou get his wish? ”

"And Zhou Xu should also know that Lu Congshou wants to murder him now, so he also pretends to obey Lu Congshou, otherwise how can Lu Congshou let him lead the troops out?"

"In the final analysis, Zhou Xu wants to get rid of Lu Congshou, so it makes sense not to take that Mr. Jiang's life in his eyes, but Zhou Xu is less wise after all, how can Longhuan be at the disposal of Zhou Xu? Therefore, the final result can only be Zhou Xu's return to Jiangzhou in a gloomy manner, or surrender to us, just choose one of the two! ”
