"Zijing, Jiangdong is really calculating, let's not mention the matter of the jade seal, let's just say that this Jingzhou Liu Biao, although he took my Huainan, I hate to send troops to level Jingxiang immediately, but now your lord is attacking Guiyang County, you are very close to the Jingzhou soldiers, but let me Xuzhou help you drag Kuaiyue, but, in my opinion, Cao Cao's threat is greater, Cao Cao dominates one side, has many generals, and is eloquent, if he captures Yanzhou, my Xuzhou will be in a worrying situation, Zijing, I am really lacking in skills, and I can't help!"

Lu Zhuo said, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and then took a sip of tea, obviously not interested in sending troops to Huainan, Lu Su is an honest man, he was flustered, and his face naturally showed it, seeing that there was sweat on his forehead, Lu Zhuo almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Pointing to the tea beside Lu Su, Lu Zhuo persuaded, "Zijing, drink tea, otherwise the tea will be cold, this is the best Longjing tea, you can taste the mellow taste while it is hot!" ”

Lu Su secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the teacup, barely sipped it on his lips, and before the teacup was put down, he spoke again: "General Lu, you and I have formed an alliance this time, not only can we work together to deal with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, even if we deal with Cao Cao, I Jiangdong can also help the general." ”

"Oh? Tell me about it, and I'd like to hear about it. Lu Zhuo's eyes lit up suddenly, and all he was waiting for was this sentence.

Although dragging Kuai Yue seems to be helping Sun Jian, in fact, he is also helping Lu Zhuo himself, Sun Jian and Lu Zhuo's territory are not bordering, there is no conflict of interest between the two sides in a short period of time, Lu Zhuo drags Kuai Yue, Sun Jian can create more trouble for Liu Biao, the greater the damage to Jingzhou, it is obvious that the threat to Lu Zhuo will be smaller, and in the future, Huainan or even go south to conquer Jingxiang, there will inevitably be a lot less resistance.

Those who help others help themselves, and helping others is helping themselves.

Lu Zhuo understands this truth very well, but Lu Zhuo still wants to seek more benefits, although in the troubled times, any promises and covenants between the princes of all parties have no effect, and they will tear their faces at any time, and the so-called covenant will be like a piece of waste paper, without binding, but for Lu Zhuo, it is an effective way to attack from afar.

By forming an alliance with Sun Jian, there is no conflict of interest, and they can also jointly contain Liu Biao and Cao Cao. Once Cao Cao takes Yanzhou, if Lu Zhuo reaches an alliance with Sun Jian, Cao Cao will inevitably be jealous of Sun Jian.

"General Lu, your previous considerations, understandable, indeed Cao Cao's threat is greater, as expected, Yanzhou will inevitably fall into the hands of Cao Cao, but if the general deals with it alone, the situation is still not easy for the general, you and I have two families, and the combination is mutually beneficial, now, while Cao Cao has not taken Yanzhou, our two families will work together to deal with Liu Biao, and after Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou, Xuzhou will be in trouble, and Jiangdong will never sit idly by."

Lu Zhuo stretched out his hand to Lu Su, "Just relying on Zijing's words, it's too child's play, I don't know Jiangdong, what sincerity is there?" ”

Although Lu Su's words were reasonable and reasonable, and they also spoke to Luzhu's heart, Lu Zhuo didn't want to agree so easily, if this was the case, Sun Jian could turn his face at any time, and he must be properly restrained.

Seeing that Lu Zhuo had already been moved by himself, Lu Su hurriedly got up and said, "Let me return to Jiangdong, and make it clear to my lord that I will give General Lu a satisfactory answer as soon as possible!" ”

Lu Zhuo nodded, "Zijing, go and come back quickly, if it's late, I'm afraid that my Xuzhou will send troops to Yanzhou and join forces with Liu Bei to fight against Cao!" ”

In order to strive for more benefits, even if Lu Zhuo usually doesn't like to lie, he made an exception at this time, in fact, he has no intention of sending troops at all, not because he doesn't want to, but because he has no troops to send at all.

As for the armor and cars that Lu Su saw on the street in the past few days, they were all deliberately obtained by Lu Zhuo to deceive people.

Lu Su non-stop, hurriedly left Xuzhou, not only one day back to Guiyang County, although it is close to the end of the year, but Sun Jian still has no intention of withdrawing troops, the reason why he refuses to strike the army, one, Sun Jian is gaining the upper hand, playing a triumphant song, good news is frequent, at this time since the pursuit of victory, it is impossible to hastily call the truce, two, Kuai Yue Huang Zhong Ganning are in Huainan, which is a golden opportunity for Sun Jian.

When Lu Su arrived, Sun Jian was eating with the soldiers, days of bloody battles, Sun Jian was covered in blood, the armor and robe were stained with blood, exuding a strong bloody gas, close to the choking people, although the face was slightly haggard, but the pair of indiscriminate eyes, but the light was flickering, blazing, Sun Jian's side, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Ling Cao gathered together, arrogant, these generals are all able to fight on the battlefield, all can be independent, and Sun Jian is deeply respected.

Seeing Lu Su, Sun Jian hurriedly asked, "How?" Did Lu Zhuo ever promise to send troops? ”

Zhou Yu glanced up at Lu Su, and suddenly understood in his heart, and interjected with a smile, "Lord, I'm afraid things are not going well, Zijing said, what harsh requirements did Lu Zhuo make?" ”

Zhou Yu is magnificent, white as jade, sitting with many generals, particularly eye-catching, not only elegant manners, spotless body, and very comparable appearance.

Even the speech is crisp and elegant, straightforward as not rude, like a clear spring flowing, listening to it is exceptionally loud and pleasant.

Lu Su shook his head, "Eucalyptus said the conditions, he didn't say anything, it's just that Lu Zhuo intends to join Liu Kangcao, and has no intention of forming an alliance with us for the time being!" ”

"Oh??" After everyone heard this, they all scoffed, but Zhou Yu smiled leisurely, gave a thumbs up, and praised, "Lu Zhuo must have a master around him to help!" ”

"Gongjin, how do you say this?" Sun Jian didn't know in his heart, and asked sharply.

Zhou Yu stood up, paced a few steps elegantly, the tent was silent, no one dared to disturb loudly, after a while, Zhou Yu explained, "If it is someone else, it will definitely point the soldiers to Huainan, and someone will take the territory, who can be willing?" And Liu Bei and Cao Cao have just started the war, wouldn't it be better to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and also make a profit from it, but Lu Zhuo has a long-term view, but he thought of taking the initiative to join forces with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao, thinking far-reaching, taking precautions, and not caring about the gains and losses of a time and place. ”

Lu Su nodded, "At that time, as soon as I learned that Lu Zhuo intended to use troops against Cao Cao, I was also taken aback, if it were me, I would have taken this step, I had tried to persuade Lu Zhuo, he asked very bluntly, with my Jiangdong alliance, what benefits can we give him?" What convincing sincerity is there? Obviously, just agreeing that the two families will fight Liu Biao together is not enough to make Lu Zhuo tempted! ”
