Zhuge Liang persuaded Sun Quan and accompanied him out of the front hall, Lu Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just now, Kong Ming and Zhang Zhao argued, but I pinched a cold sweat. ”

"Wu Hou never thought of surrendering to the Cao family at all." Zhuge Liang said: "I just said something to make him make up his mind. ”

"What Kong Ming said just now, every word poked at Wu Hou's vital point." Lu Su said: "I can't help but Wu Hou doesn't agree. ”

"Dare to ask where Zhou Gongjin is now?" Zhuge Liang asked, "Why didn't you see him just now?" ”

"Gong Jin is training the water army." Lu Su said: "Since Marquis Wu has promised to make plans early, why don't Kong Ming stay in Jiangdong and help our army make some preparations?" ”

"The matter of coming to Jiangdong is not finished yet, of course I will not go back." Zhuge Liang said: "Please also ask Lu Gong to introduce me to Zhou Gongjin." ”

"I just saw Wu Hou and I want to see Gongjin again." Lu Su said: "Why doesn't Kong Ming take a break? ”

"The war matters." Zhuge Liang said: "My lord is stationed in Xiakou, if Jiangdong does not start a war with Cao's army, he must be in danger." I came here to form an alliance with Jiangdong, and when I met Wu Hou, of course I had to meet Zhou Gongjin. After all, in Wu Hou's eyes, Zhou Gongjin is still very important. ”

"It's all about what matters." Lu Su said: "Wu Hou always asks Gong Jin for advice when he encounters trouble, and he also thought that he might have to go to war with the Cao family, so he transferred Gong Jin back. ”

"Since Wu Hou has the intention of starting a war with the Cao family, why do you still want to listen to Zhang Zhao and the others?" Zhuge Liang said: "They are all trying their best to surrender to Cao Cao. ”

"At the beginning, Sun Bofu entrusted Wu Hou to Zhang Zhao, Gongjin and others." Lu Su said: "Although I don't agree with Zhang Zhao's opinion, Wu Hou has nothing to do with him, so he can only talk nonsense in his ear. ”

"I see." Zhuge Liang nodded and said, "Zhang Zhao really spared no effort to persuade Wu Hou to join the Cao family. ”

"Except for Zhang Zhao and others who pushed Wu Hou to serve the Cao family, more people are lucky." Lu Su said: "Earlier, when Bo Fu was here, he married Miss Xu to Cao Zirong. Speaking of which, the Cao family and the Sun family are also in-laws, and those people hope that because of this relationship, the Cao family will not attack Jiangdong. ”

"Pedantic funny." Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "If Cao Zirong was a sympathetic, he would not have crusaded against the Yuan family in the first place, and he would not have helped Cao Cao to force Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang into a desperate situation." For Cao Zirong, Jiangshan is far more important than his in-laws. ”

"I have also seen Cao Zirong, when he was not very old, he was able to lead the army to fight in the south and the north and make great achievements." Lu Su said: "A character like this must have weak feelings in his heart, how can he give up his good country for the sake of his in-laws?" ”

"Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and Cao Shuo is his son, how much difference can there be between the two?" Zhuge Liang said: "As a member of the Han family, the head of my family has been committed to revitalizing the Han family for so many years, but his repeated actions will always be disrupted by the Cao family, which shows that the Cao family has become a Han thief." Married to the Cao family, isn't Wu Hou afraid of being scolded by the world? ”

"This matter is the agreement between Bo Fu and Cao Zirong back then." Lu Su said: "Although I feel that it is inappropriate, I don't want to say anything. Wu Hou has always respected Bo Fu, and if anyone overturns Bo Fu's previous decision, he will definitely refuse to agree. Kong Ming should not mention it. ”

"To tell you the truth, I came to Jiangdong this time, in addition to persuading Wu Hou to face the Cao family, there is another thing." Zhuge Liang said: "My father-in-law has not married in recent years, and I heard that Miss Jiangdong has become an adult, so he specially ordered me to come to protect the media. The Cao family's intentions are not good for the Sun family, and it is better to marry the young lady to Cao Zirong, it is better to marry the father-in-law of my family, after all, with the relationship of in-laws, it is easy to talk to each other in the future. ”

"Kong Ming wants to marry Liu Xuande?" Lu Su was stunned and said: "Liu Xuande is nearly fifty years old, and Miss is only fifteen years old......

"It doesn't matter how old you are." Zhuge Liang said: "The important thing is that once they become in-laws, they will no longer have any suspicions with each other in the future. There will be no more suspicions against the Cao family. ”

"I can't do this." Lu Su said: "Kong Ming still saw Gongjin and said again. ”

"It's fine." Zhuge Liang responded.

Accompanied by Lu Su, Zhuge Liang went to the place where Zhou Yu was training.

The strongest in Jiangdong is the navy, and Zhou Yu's training is of course also a navy.

When he arrived at the riverbank, Lu Su asked a soldier, "Have you seen Gongjin?" ”

"Return to Lu Gong." The soldier said, "The Governor was still there, but now he is gone. ”

didn't find Zhou Yu, Lu Su was a little unwilling.

He took Zhuge Liang to find him in the camp, and he was confronted by a person.

This person is about the same height as Guan Yu who is next to Zhuge Liang, with broad shoulders and a round waist, as stocky as an iron tower.

He is none other than Zhou Tai, the fierce general next to Zhou Yu.

In front of Lu Su and the others, Zhou Tai bowed his hand and said, "Lu Gong, which one is Mr. Zhuge ?" ”

Pointing to Zhuge Liang on the side, Lu Su said to him: "This is Kong Ming." ”

"The Metropolitan Governor has an order, please ask Mr. Kong Ming to go back first." Zhou Tai said: "Now the Cao family has not made any moves, and Mr. is only afraid that it will be inappropriate to stay in Jiangdong." Wait until the Cao family has a move, and then it is not too late to invite Mr. to Jiangdong. ”

As soon as Zhou Tai said this, Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Zhou Gongjin is going to drive people out." ”

"General Zhou." Lu Su said to Zhou Tai with some difficulty: "I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate for Gongjin to do this......

"Who dares to disobey the military orders of the Grand Governor?" Zhou Tai gestured towards Zhuge Liang: "Mr. Zhuge , please!" ”

Guan Yu, who was following Zhuge Liang, was about to have a seizure as soon as his eyes widened.

Zhou Tai ignored him at all, and still made a gesture to send off guests.

Zhuge Liang glanced at Guan Yu and arched his hand towards Lu Su: "Lu Gong, I'll leave first!" ”

"I'll send Kong Ming." Zhuge Liang was driven away before he saw Zhou Yu, and Lu Su couldn't disobey his military orders, so he said to him a little reluctantly.

Accompanied Zhuge Liang to the shore, Lu Su sent him on the boat, and saw the big boat go in the direction of Jiangxia, before he said to Zhou Tai: "Gongjin is too faceless to do things, just now Zhuge Kongming also said that he wanted to see him, which will actually drive people away." ”

"The Metropolitan Governor is also thinking about Jiangdong." Zhou Tai said: "Lu Gong must not go to his heart. ”

"I was holding him just now." Lu Su sighed.

"In addition to sending Zhuge Kongming away, the Metropolitan Governor also invited Duke Lu to meet him." Zhou Tai stepped aside and said to Lu Su: "Lu Gong, please!" ”

Arching his hand towards Zhou Tai, Lu Su said, "General Lao leads the way!" ”

He was not very polite to Zhuge Liang, but Zhou Tai was still very respectful to Lu Su, he said another invitation, and led Lu Su to see Zhou Yu.
