For Lu Su, Liu Lan's deepest image, in addition to his good old man and his single knife to the meeting, is what Zhou Yu said when he invited him to come out: "Xi Ma Yuan to Guangwuyun: In today's world, not only the monarch chooses the minister, but also the minister. ”

So Liu Lan chose Lu Su, and Lu Su also chose Liu Lan, which is mutual, even if Lu Su does not agree to go out of Xuzhou, Liu Lan can only let him go except to kill him, but a bull like Lu Su, the most brilliant pearl of the Three Kingdoms era, since it can't be owned for himself, it must not be allowed to become an opponent in the future.

Lu Su's overall view laid the direction of development for the future of Eastern Wu, so Liu Lan immediately asked him for advice, she said: "Now that Xuzhou is completely pacified, the most important thing is to rest with the people, train strong soldiers, consolidate defense, and accumulate more grain and grass." This is Liu Lan's true thoughts, and it can also be said to learn from Hongwu's proverbs to build walls, accumulate grain, and slowly call Wang Jiuzi.

But Lu Su shook his head: "The lord is not only unable to live with the people's livelihood at the moment, but also has to find a foundation, as long as he finds a place to build a foundation, he can develop again." ”

"Zijing thinks Xuzhou can't be a base?" At that time, Liu Lan saw that Liaodong was not enough to have a foundation, so he set his sights on Qingzhou and Xuzhou, after all, there is no cold in Liaodong, and there are more people and food than Liaodong.

Lu Su smiled slightly, and said: "Compared with the whole world, Xuzhou is by no means a strategic place, let alone a place of Longxing, just ask the lord, Xuzhou east to the sea, west to Cao Cao, north and south have the Yuan brothers, the lord guards Xuzhou, if you are in a desperate situation, if you want a glimmer of life, you will be the enemy of the three people." The Yuan brothers are powerful and Cao Cao's soldiers are strong, and Yuan Shu's mercenaries are also defeated by them. Therefore, using Xuzhou as the foundation is not the choice of the wise. ”

Liu Lan nodded, with a satisfied look in his eyes, full of interest, and said: "That is the meaning of respecting the son, but I don't know where is the place of foundation and where is the land of Longxing?" ”

Lu Su had already prepared and took out a map of the thirteen states of the world, which was 108,000 miles away from the map drawn by Liu Lan, but he could accurately understand the geography of the thirteen states of the world. The map was tiled, but there was also a bit of the feeling of looking at the national map in later generations, only to hear him say: "The kid has not yet reached the crown and has also studied Zheng Gong to study, but the kid is not Zheng Gong talent, and he can't do the integration of ancient and modern literature, but he has a little interest in geography, travels all over the world, and fakes Yugong." made a map of the thirteen states in the world, although it is difficult to do subtlety. But he is also conceited and dares to say that the mountains and rivers of the world are actually painted on the atlas. Lu Su said, the beauty in the corner of his eyes couldn't help but pick, looking quite proud, while Liu Lan smiled slightly, on the other hand, Xu Chu, who was standing on the side, looked disdainful. Also, if Lu Su saw the map drawn by Liu Lan, he didn't know how to react.

I saw Lu Su pointing to the unrolled map, pointing to the Yellow River Valley with his hand and saying: "The dragon vein of Shangtang is here, and the dragon vein of Chengzhou is in Qishan." The dragon vein of the Qin Dynasty was in Xianyang; The dragon vein of the Han Dynasty is in Pei County, but the boy has been studying Kanyu for many years, until he drew this map, but found that although these four places are the dragon veins, but they are by no means the big dragon veins of my China, the lord please look at the appearance of the map, as if it is in the state of west and east, the west direction is the Yellow River, and Huashan is the dragon drinking water and exit; The eastward direction is the Yangtze River basin, and the Xindu (Huangshan) area is the drinking water and outlet of Dalong. If the lord goes south to take Danyang County as the foundation, at that time he is fighting against the three heroes, and there is no worries about entering the Yangtze River, and there is a moat of the Yangtze River when he retreats. ”

At this moment, Chen Guo, who was waiting outside the door, gently closed the door and entered the hall, whispered a few words to Xu Chu, the voice was not loud, but Liu Lan heard that it seemed that someone was coming to visit, and there was no one else who came to visit at this time except for Dongcheng County, so he immediately became annoyed, waved his hand, and said: "Didn't you see that I was talking to Mr. Zijing about important things, I don't see!" ”

Chen Guo smiled awkwardly, and was about to withdraw, but saw Xu Chu hanging his hand and replied: "Lord Yu, you also know this person, it is Wang Huben who asks to see!" ”

"Wang Huben, Wang Yue?" Liu Lan immediately called Chen Guo, who had not taken a few steps: "Wait! As he spoke, he smiled at Lu Su and said: "This Wang Yue, but my old friend for many years, he has been in Xuzhou for half a year, but he didn't expect to come to see me now, and he happened to introduce Zijing to him today." ”

Lu Su frowned and said, "Lord, although this person is the Son of Heaven who is close to the tiger, but since he has a deep relationship with the lord, why did he come to Xuzhou for half a year until today?" And the lord must also know that now that Guanzhong is turbulent, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Yang Feng, and Dong Chengdou are very happy, and these people of right and wrong suddenly visit Xuzhou, which is still a land of right and wrong, at the time of right and wrong, I am afraid that it is far more than a simple visit. ”

This sentence reminded Liu Lan that if he remembered correctly, Emperor Han Xian would soon escape from Chang'an, could it be that Wang Yue's trip had something to do with this matter? Liu Lan guessed all kinds of possibilities in his heart, and immediately whispered to Xu Chu, asking Xu Shu to immediately contact Yu Fuluo, who was far away in Hedong, to see if he could get the latest news from him, and then after Xu Chu retreated, Liu Lan instructed Chen Guo again, "Please Wang Huben come in." ”

Liu Lan personally went out of the hall to welcome Wang Yue, who was dressed in a white shirt, into the hall, and the two sat down after greeting for a while, Liu Lan smiled and said, "Old friend, you finally came to see me after being in my Xuzhou for so long." ”

"I have something important to do, and I'll come to see Liu Yuanjun after I finish dealing with it."

"The envoy is too foreign, and it is much better to call me Deran or even De'an."

"Haha, this time is different from the past, Liu Xianjun back then, now he is the famous Liu Yuanjun!"

The two talked briefly, for Lu Su, Wang Jiansheng was the first time to meet, but his reputation had long been heard, martial arts were unfathomable, and he entered Helan Mountain alone at a young age to take the head of Chief Hu, this kind of temperament, how can it not be praised, and now when he sees a real person, his bearing is also admirable, sitting on the side, just listening to him, it is like a spring breeze, which makes people fascinated.

But although Wang Yue can be called an idol, but for the current Lu Su, he must not look at him from the perspective of fans, but to figure out the real purpose of his people coming here with an objective identity, and now Wang Yue is in Xuzhou, the most likely thing is to persuade Liu Lan to raise troops into the customs, but this is simply a fool's dream, how can it be possible, and how can Liu Lan agree.

Compared with Lu Su's worries and worries. Liu Lan wanted to be more calm, first of all, he was sure that Wang Yue would never come here to invite him to send troops, and the whip was beyond his reach, in other words, even if Wang Yue really came to ask for troops to enter the customs, the best candidates were the Yuan brothers and Cao Cao Lu Bu instead of him. Therefore, Liu Lan looked very calm on his face, and said with a calm smile: "But I don't know what Wang Huben came here to call this time?" ”

Wang Yue first looked at Fanlusu, he did not wear an official uniform, but Liu Lan was wearing a long shirt, a jade belt, a high crown, and a thick album in his hand, although his face always showed a calm and free demeanor, but the album in his hand was tightly clutched. Exposed the serious uneasiness in the heart.

Although he couldn't be sure what kind of treasure he had in his hand, it could be seen that this thing was extraordinary, but Wang Yue didn't have much interest in it, but looked at Liu Lan, and didn't answer with a dry smile. Don't worry too much. ”

"That's good." Wang Yue nodded and said truthfully: "Fan Chou has been killed by Li Dao. is now in constant conflict with Guo Yan and Zhang Ji. Although Wang Yue's voice was low, these few words exploded in the hall like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Liu Lan was okay, he knew the history and had already guessed eight or nine, of course, this Fan Chou didn't know much, and he didn't understand the importance of his death. But Lu Su understood that after Dong Zhuo's death, if it weren't for Li Dao's gang with Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou to counterattack Chang'an, today's world would be different, and because of this. After that, it can be said that it was these four people who controlled the court, and with the killing of Fan Chou, the four people who originally restrained each other became three, and the balance was broken, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Because the two are next to each other, Wang Yue has been observing the reactions of the two, Lu Su is as expected, but Liu Lan is surprisingly calm, and he is not flustered when facing major events.

Just when Wang Yue was coldly observing Liu Lan's every move, Liu Lan suddenly laughed: "Wang Jiansheng, you and I have been old friends for many years, although your identity is Tiger Ben, but no one in the world knows that you have been acting as the personal guard of the Son of Heaven because of your strong martial arts, although Li Dao and the other four people support the army and respect themselves, but as long as Wang Huben is here, the Son of Heaven will be unscathed, but you left Guanzhong at such a critical moment and came to Kanto, shouldn't you really not be afraid that the Son of Heaven is in danger?" Or did Wang Jiansheng make arrangements early in the morning, and now he is just waiting to see the reaction of his old friend? ”

"Liu De'an, Liu De'an." Wang Yue laughed loudly: "I should have thought that after so many years, you are no longer the Liu Dean of the year, since this is the case, then we will do business, of course, this is not a temple, nor is it your state pastor's mansion, today I am here just to meet friends, I plan to have a long talk with you about wine, and when you return to the state pastor's mansion another day, I will come to talk to you about business." ”

Dare to say these words in the tiger's den, and even openly and secretly ridicule Liu Lan for his own selfish interests and disregard for the safety of the Son of Heaven I am afraid that Wang Yue is the only one in this world, this is by no means because he has some friendship with Liu Lan, let alone because of his strong martial arts, but he himself is such a person, if he used to flatter and attach to the power, he was forced to be helpless, since then he has climbed to the Son of Heaven, but he no longer has those concerns, and he also understands that even if Liu Lan is changing, this person can always have deep friendships, but it involves forces, will definitely be worried, after all, so many people are involved, and it is unrealistic to force him to promise something now, so his smile is not so much a step for himself, but a step for everyone.

But there is a person like Chen Guo in this world, of course, he didn't know the friendship between Liu Lan and Wang Yue, let alone the deep meaning of Wang Yue's words, and immediately shouted: "Bold!" ”

In Chen Guo's eyes, what kind of tiger is a general, what kind of son of heaven is a close minister, and if he dares to speak out to the lord, it is a big rebellion, and he will attack immediately:"

I don't know whether you live or die, you can't succeed in Chang'an in front of you, you dare to be presumptuous here, do you really think I don't dare to take you! ”

When the incident happened suddenly, when Liu Lan was stunned, Wang Yue was already furious, and he looked disdainful in the face of provocation, and said, "Who are you, doll, who want to arrest me?" Then it's up to you to see if you have the ability! Tell you about the doll, talk leisurely, and understand who you are talking to, in today's world, Dong Zhuo does not dare to wave his sword at me, and Lu Bu has never made a big fuss, but you are a doll, but I don't know whether you know whether you are dead or alive or a newborn calf! ”

Wang Yue said that these two people, which is not the most famous person in the world today, one is a famous murderer, although he has been dead for several years, but because his fierce reputation is too great, it is still the talk of the world, and the child cries at night. And the second Lu Bu, who is famous for his martial arts and bravery, is the lord Liu Lan who often praises him in private, which immediately makes his complexion extremely ugly, as the saying goes, there is no first martial arts and no second, sometimes it is not that he does not know Wang Yue's ability, he does not know Lu Bu's bravery, but he is a little unconvinced, and even wants to test his ability.

It's a pity that he didn't have such an opportunity, Liu Lan, who was on the main seat, immediately interrupted the two people who were a little nervous, and was not very satisfied with Chen Guo, and said: "How can you speak here, order to go down, bring wine and meat, today I will not get drunk with Wang Huben and not return!" ”

Liu Lan scolded Chen Guo in public, not to mention how embarrassing and embarrassing, but he had to respect the order of the king, not long after Nuo Nuo retired, the servants moved the wine and meat, Wang Yue picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks in front of the low table and handed it into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed it, and then raised the wine bottle again, and drank it all as soon as he signaled to Liu Lan, and praised it as if no one was around: "Good wine, wow, it reminds me of the Luoyang official brew back then, how long has it been since I drank such a sweet wine." ”

"Mm-hmm, that's good." Liu Lan also drank it slowly, but it was also sweet, not losing the official brew of Luoyang back then. looked at Lu Su and said, "Zijing, I don't know where this wine came from?" Is it Dongcheng's official brew or its own private brew? ”

Lu Su stood up, held the wine bottle, and said with a smile: "This wine is privately brewed in my house, and if the lord and Wang Huben are satisfied, they will drink a few more glasses." He looked up and wiped out.

"You kid looks at Wenwen weakly and doesn't want to, but he has the style of a countryman, but he looks disrespectful!" Wang Yue lifted the wine bottle, also drank it all, and said: "Deran, you are a careful toast, you can't play tricks." ”

"How is it possible, if you talk about martial arts, a certain person in front of the tiger Ben may avoid the truth and play some slippery heads, but when it comes to drinking, I have never been afraid of anyone." After speaking, drink it clean. (To be continued.) )
