Since the fight against Soochow and the removal of the three counties from our side, although the two sides are still secretly fighting, they have on the surface returned to the alliance-like state of harmony before the Battle of Chibi.

Because I wanted Shana to lead 5,000 troops to Xiangyang for me first, I only brought a few retinues and ten personal guards to Lukou this time. Since the agreed time had been agreed upon by letter in advance, the ship of Soochow also came out early to welcome me to the shore, but it was Lu Meng who was waiting to greet me on the shore. Before, he led his troops to Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling counties, if it weren't for Shamoke's very interesting way to bring troops to help, it was likely that I would also end up with Hao Pu, and even if I was released back after being captured, I would never be able to raise my head in Liu Bei's army.

After the two met, they couldn't help but be embarrassed, but the polite words still had to be said, and he held back for a long time and gave me a sentence: "The general has good archery that day!" I also took advantage of the situation and depressed him and said: "It's still General Lu who has a big appetite and almost stole my Wuling!" The two looked at each other and laughed, looking like they were relieved, but I knew that he was not sure how to think about the yin and me who would succeed next time, and I also sneered in my heart and said: "Boy, when you cross the river in white, I won't give you a good look!" ”

In this way, Lu Meng and I went to Lusu's residence "intimately", and the scenery along the way was not bad. Lukou is the mouth of the Yangtze River out of Lushui Lake, so it is named, Zhou Yu was the army here to defeat Cao Cao in Chibi, it can be said that it is also the blessed land of Eastern Wu, now Lu Su is the capital of Eastern Wu Governor Tun soldiers here, the north can even Jiangxia, the west can peep into Jiangling, what I saw and heard along the way, and it seems that the military fortress of Eastern Wu is more vast and prosperous than when I and Kong Ming came.

Although Guan Yu had told me that Lu Su was seriously ill before, he didn't expect Lu Su to be haggard when he saw me this time, and he wanted to lie directly on the **couch to see me.

When Lu Su saw me come in, he "forced" Lu Meng to help him up and lie down, and he coughed for a while, but I knew that although he was about to die, he should have at least three years to live in history. The more serious he pretended to be like this, the more it reminded me of Lu Meng's pretending to be sick and paralyzing Guan Yu in history, and inducing Guan Yu to dispatch Jingzhou's troops to attack Fancheng.

Maybe Lu Su has always been a humble gentleman and an honest man, but at the critical moment when Guan Yu captured Xiangyang and possibly continued to go north to empty Nanjun, as Sun Quan's most relied on now, he chose to lie to me in front of the interests of the country, but it was really understandable.

Seeing that Lu Su looked very sick and pitiful, I really couldn't bear to expose him in front of him like this. Of course, the deeper reason is that although Lu Su looks honest, Lu Meng is not a good stubble, in case I immediately expose that Lu Su is deliberately exaggerating his condition, it is equivalent to telling them that I already know his intention to pretend to be sick like this, then if they secretly yin me for Jingzhou, and make an accident scene for me so that I can't go back to Jiangling, wouldn't I become a big fool?

So I pretended to be very concerned about him, sat down and took Lu Su's hand and began to shush and ask for warmth, showing that I was very worried about his condition. After all, Lu Su is an honest man in his bones, and when he saw me like this, his face was inevitably a little flawed, in order to hide his inner uneasiness, he coughed vigorously twice, and congratulated me on Guan Yu's defeat of Cao Ren and the capture of Xiangyang, so as to divert the topic away from his illness.

Speaking of Xiangyang, I was a little hesitant. In my heart, I really wanted to take this opportunity to directly say to Lu Su that Guan Yu wanted to take advantage of the victory to attack Fancheng, but I was a little worried that the transfer of troops from Jiangling to the front line would cause the emptiness of Nanjun. Of course, now that Cao Ren has lost Xiangyang and has no time to protect himself, the only one who can threaten Nanjun is Dongwu, who is stationed in Lukou, so it is obvious that there is some distrust of the allies. But if I didn't take this opportunity to test Lu Su, I would have missed an opportunity to see if he wanted to sneak up on Nanjun.

So I decided to change the way, I said to Lu Su: "General Guan is heroic, Cao Ren is naturally not an opponent, now we are ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack Fancheng, and Cao Cao is confronting my lord in Hanzhong at this time, Xuchang is empty, it is likely to mobilize troops from Xuzhou to reinforce Fancheng, so that Hefei has no backup, and the governor of the capital can intentionally take it?" ”

Lu Su sighed and shook his head: "I'm not afraid of the general laughing, the last time our side attacked Hefei, Zhang Liao was taken by surprise and lost his spirit." Now that the morale is low, and there is an urgent need for rest, there is no way to enter the army! ”

I looked at Lu Meng and saw that he also had a bitter look on his face, but I didn't think that the bitterness on his face was because he couldn't take Hefei.

The more these two of me play low-key, the more I feel that Nanjun is more dangerous, but how can I be sure when Dongwu will make a move? I decided to take out the killer plan that I had already thought of before I came, and when I thought of this, I pretended to laugh at Lu Su and said, "It seems that you Dongwu is really unprofitable!" ”

"What did the general say about this?" Lu Su looked stunned when I said this, while Lu Meng looked angry.

I reached into my arms, and Lu Meng's eyes were fixed on my hand that was stretched into my arms, looking very nervous. I smiled and slowly pulled out a small bag, Lu Meng's expression was obviously relaxed, because such a small bag obviously wouldn't let go of dangerous things such as daggers. I slowly opened the string on the bag and gently poured the contents on the edge of Lu Su's **.

"This?" Lu Meng obviously didn't expect that what I poured out of the bag would be seven very ordinary copper coins, and looked at me in surprise. But Lu Su's face changed suddenly, and his face suddenly became bright, as if a seriously ill person suddenly returned to light.

I completely ignored Lu Meng, who was very confused, but gently grabbed one of these copper coins and said to Lu Su: "The three-year contract has passed early, since the governor of the capital did not come to ask for his life, why didn't he send 50,000 arrows to Wuling?" ”

Lu Su's face turned red suddenly, but he also lost his mind to an idea, he just hesitated slightly and said to me with a very self-reproachful look: "The big husband is willing to gamble and lose, the general gambled with his life that day, how dare Su You not abide by the preface?" It's just that the general has been in Sichuan for a long time, and then the two sides have to meet each other because of the belonging of Jingzhou, if I send the arrows to you at that time, how can I be suspected of collaborating with the enemy in front of my lord? General, please rest assured, I have already prepared 50,000 arrows, and when the general returns to Nanjun, I will bring them back with me! ”

I laughed and said, "Good, good, good!" The Metropolitan Governor is really a trustworthy person, and now that our attack on Fancheng is imminent, it is when military supplies are urgently needed, then I will be disrespectful! ”

Lu Meng's face was dazed, but because of Lu Su's identity, he couldn't ask clearly. When I saw this, I knew that I had given Lu Su a divination, and he really didn't tell anyone afterwards. With this in mind, I wanted to make an effort to keep Soochow from attacking Jingzhou, although I knew that if I wanted Soochow to give up Jingzhou, it would be as difficult as asking Sun Quan to cut off one of his own arms.

I said to Lu Su: "Since the Metropolitan Governor is so trustworthy, Song'er is willing to make another Bu for the Metropolitan Governor, when you can recover from your illness, and when Hefei can be pocketed by Wu Hou!" ”
