This foresight may be the real gap between the Sun and Liu families and Cao Cao.

Soochow's strategy was formulated by Lu Su himself.

In this strategy, which was later called the couch strategy, whether it is to unite other forces or rely on the advantages of the Yangtze River moat, these strategies actually have only one purpose, that is, to preserve their strength and wait for opportunities.

This opportunity once came, in the Battle of Chibi, Eastern Wu defeated Cao Cao's army in one fell swoop.

At that time, there was a lot of excitement in Eastern Wu, and some people even proposed to take this opportunity to go north and annex Cao Cao's territory.

But it was at that time that Cao Cao taught everyone in Eastern Wu a lesson and taught them what it means to be emaciated and die of a camel bigger than a horse.

Although Cao Cao suffered a heavy setback at Chibi and lost his absolute superiority in troops, Eastern Wu still did not have any chance to go north, and even the original border line could not move north.

Since then, Lu Su has understood a truth, Cao Cao is a strong enemy that Eastern Wu cannot shake at all.

All this, after the appearance of a person, took a turn.

Liu He's birth made Lu Su see a hint of a turning point.

In Lu Su's view, Mr. Tianji, who never followed the rules and had an extraordinarily flamboyant personality, was by no means a qualified politician, and even sometimes made unmeasured moves, not even a wise man.

But Lu Su always had a feeling that this person might be able to loosen the pattern of the world, which already had a fixed number.

Even if this loosening is only very small, Lu Su is unwilling to give up this faint opportunity.

So when he received Liu He's invitation, Lu Su came to Xuchang without hesitation.

Lu Su knew very well who he represented, what his position was, and what his purpose was.

When he heard Liu He's idea that could almost be said to be nonsense, he still wanted to stand on Liu He's side and facilitate the matter.

In his mind, everything else can be a tool for him to achieve his ultimate goal, and his ultimate goal is always only one, that is, Cao Cao.

However, just now, Cao Cao's words made Lu Su see the gap between the two sides that was difficult to erase, and also made the chief strategist of Eastern Wu realize a very important problem.

The biggest enemy of Eastern Wu is not Cao Cao, let alone Liu Bei, but time.

The longer this tripartite war drags on, the more dangerous the situation for all will become, and in the end, all three sides will be the losers.

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Lu Su's eyes.

He straightened up, put away the decadence just now, and said firmly: "I agree with Mr. Tianji's idea, we Dongwu are willing to suspend the army from now on." ”

Cao Cao smiled, and seemed to be able to understand Lu Su's state of mind very well, because as the real ruler of one party's forces, he felt it more deeply than anyone else.

"I wanted to go back and discuss it and make a decision, but now it seems that there is no need for it. Since Mr. Zijing agreed so decisively, then I have nothing more to say," Cao Cao paused and glanced at Liu He meaningfully, "But there is one sentence, I want to say that in the front, if someone wants to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, Mr. Zijing and I will not let him go." ”

Liu He smiled with relief, "If Gong Cao has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, since we have talked about this today, we have even said something rebellious, and there is nothing else that can be said." ”

Cao Cao immediately slapped the table, "Okay!" In that case, let's set the rules. This matter was initiated by you, and we only agree with your idea today, but all the detailed rules must be carefully discussed, and only after the three parties agree to take effect, what does Mr. Tianji think? ”

Liu He smiled: "It seems that Gong Cao wants to stay in Xuchang for a few more days?" ”

"Sir, rest assured, there will be a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on five days, until the three of us finalize everything."

With that, Cao Cao waved his sleeves and walked off the spiritual platform.

After seeing Cao Cao leave, Fajie and Amun, who were guarding the door, immediately returned to Liu He and Lu Su's side.

Liu He and Lu Su looked at each other and smiled, asked for pen and ink, and each wrote a list.

Fajie and Amon picked up the list, and without saying a word, they immediately set out on the road and embarked on the return journey back to Chengdu and Jianye.

Fifteen days later, two groups of men arrived in Xuchang.

In addition to the presence of a group of top strategists from both sides, Fajie also invited the head of the Zhao family, the world's number one scholar, to Xuchang.

For a whole month, the three parties were working day and night to discuss all the details.

This kind of scene, of course, is indispensable for a war of words, and those world-famous strategists will even quarrel over a seemingly inconsequential rule.

For this important meeting, Cao Cao deliberately carved out a place in Xuchang City and built two attics, one for deliberations, and the other as the residence of the Sun and Liu families, those great strategists who came from afar.

Soon Cao Cao discovered that the construction of two attics seemed to be a bit redundant.

Since the beginning of the talks, the chief strategists of the three parties have hardly left the chamber, arguing endlessly, to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat.

The attic, which was used as a dwelling, was almost deserted, but there was one man who had been leaning on it and never came down.

As the initiator of this tripartite meeting, Liu He stayed out of the matter, just holding a wine jar every day, sitting on the edge of the railing on the top floor of the attic, smiling at the noisy conference hall opposite.

The sound of footsteps behind him sounded, Liu He looked back, picked up the wine jar in his hand and shook it, and said with a smile: "It's unfortunate that you came, I just finished drinking this jar of wine." ”

The head of the Zhao family walked to Liu He's side and sat down slowly, "Your jar of wine has not been drunk for three days, why did I finish it as soon as I came?" ”

Liu He smiled, didn't say anything, directly crossed the railing, turned down, and went downstairs to take two more jars of wine.

The head of the Zhao family took the wine jar handed by Liu He, and without saying a word, he tore open the mud and took a sip, but he looked disgusted.

Liu He smiled: "Do you know why I can drink a jar of wine for three days?" ”

The head of the Zhao family put the wine jar aside and snorted coldly, "It's not all because of you, when you were in the Moling School Palace, you always drunk me with the three immortals, and drank all my mouth." ”

Liu He looked at the meeting hall opposite where there was still a lot of quarrelling, "They are all arguing like that, why did you run out by yourself?" ”

The head of the Zhao family frowned, "Speaking of which, they are all scholars with some backgrounds, but they really quarrel, they are no worse than rural village women, and I can't interject, and I am annoyed to listen to it, so I ran to you and came to drink wine." ”
