The situation in the world, one side and the other, Liu Bei's Liu He is like this, which is tantamount to putting Cao ** on a dead end.

Two tigers must be injured when they fight, Sun Quan of course wants to see the two sides fight, but he has no time to pay attention to Liu Bei and Cao Cao at this time, a major event related to Jiangdong's future life and death has already made him very busy.

The elder brother's minister, Zhou Yu and Zhou Dadu, died of illness a few days ago.

When his brother Sun Ce was dying, he told Sun Quan at the bedside to ask Zhang Zhao for internal affairs and Zhou Yu for foreign affairs.

As for who will succeed him as the governor of the capital, Sun Quan is even more troubled.

When Zhou Yu was dying, he strongly recommended Lu Su and Lu Zijing to take over the position of his governor, but in Sun Quan's heart, Lu Su was not the first candidate.

If you talk about Tao Wuluo, Lu Su is actually not under Zhou Yu, looking at Jiangdong, there is indeed no one who can compare with Lu Zijing.

However, in the eyes of Sun Quan, the ruler, Lu Su seems to lack an extremely crucial temperament, that is, the blood of a soldier.

Soochow relied on the Yangtze River moat, and mostly took a defensive stance externally, but because of this, a hawkish commander was needed.

This point is vividly expressed in Zhou Gongjin's body, when Cao Cao went south, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military all wanted to surrender to Cao, Zhou Yu, as one of the rare main battle factions, stepped forward, turned the tide, and finally defeated Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops, talking and laughing between the ashes, and finally became a beautiful talk.

It was also this battle of Chibi that made Sun Quan deeply realize that if he wanted to defend Eastern Wu, he must use a commander who dared to attack at a critical moment.

And Lu Zijing obviously did not meet this condition, especially when he contacted Liu Bei to jointly resist Cao, although the result was good, but as a politician, he did not get the expected return diplomatically.

At present, most of Jingzhou is still in Liu Bei's hands, even though Liu Bei now has a new territory in Yizhou, but there is no mention of the return of Jingzhou.

Sun Quan has always had a knot in his heart, if Lu Zijing can't get Jingzhou back, this metropolitan governor is really a little reluctant to give it to him.

As the leading politician in Jiangdong, Lu Su of course also understood Sun Quan's thoughts, and without waiting for Sun Quan's order, he took the initiative to ask for orders and sent an envoy again to ask for Jingzhou.

Hearing the news of Lu Zijing's visit, Liu He, who was in Yizhou, was a little surprised, because in history, Lu Su had never come to the boundary of Yizhou, even if he came to ask for Jingzhou repeatedly, he would go to Xiangyang to bargain with Guan Yu at most.

Anyway, since Lu Zijing is here, Liu He can't be lazy, on the one hand, Lu Su came as an envoy of Eastern Wu, so he can't lose his courtesy. There is still some friendship between Liu He and Lu Su between the two.

When he was in Jiangxia City, Lu Su visited him more than once, Liu He used all kinds of scoundrel means, and he was fooled by him every time, and in the end Lu Su didn't even want to go back to a city in Jingzhou.

Thinking of all the interesting scenes at that time, Liu He couldn't help laughing, and set up a banquet today, just waiting for the honest man to come to the banquet.

Walking through the front yard of Tianji Mansion and looking at the children who were reading in the rooms on both sides, Lu Su hugged his fists and exclaimed as soon as he entered the door: "Mr. Tianji is really generous, he is willing to take out half of his mansion and use it as a academy for these children." ”

Letting Lu Su into his seat, Liu He smiled and said, "Since Mr. Zijing said so, then I will be more generous and never let you return empty-handed." ”

When Lu Su, who had just sat down, heard this, he immediately stood up excitedly, "Sir, is this true?" ”

Liu He, who was accustomed to seeing deceit in officialdom and rarely saw a person with a true temperament like Lu Su, smiled from the bottom of his heart, got up and took Lu Su's hand, and came to a table.

There was a map on the table, and the content on the map was really familiar to Lu Su, and what was drawn on it was the Jingzhou he thought about day and night.

Liu He pointed to the topographic map of Jingzhou on the table, and asked in a bargaining tone in the vegetable market: "Say, how many cities do you want to go back to this time?" ”

Lu Su frowned, "What?" Don't you want to give us back the whole of Jingzhou? ”

Liu He glanced at him, and said angrily: "Why are you so ignorant, you didn't say a word, I took the initiative to return Jingzhou, and you pay attention to dealing with each other, so you are so embarrassed to go back?" ”

Lu Su smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yes, I didn't have much hope when I came this time, I wanted to get something out of Mr. Tianji's hands, I'm afraid it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky." ”

Liu Hetian said shamelessly: "That's right, I'm finally relieved, if you don't seize the opportunity, you have to go back to a few cities, and you can go back to make a difference." ”

Lu Su sighed, and said helplessly: "Since you say so, I don't think you should ask me, just let's be happy, you tell me directly, how much can you give me." ”

Liu He casually stroked on the map, "That's so much." ”

Looking at the part drawn by Liu He, Lu Su was stunned.

After a long time, Lu Su came to his senses and said in disbelief: "Mr. Tianji really has this intention? ”

Liu He smiled: "What? You don't believe it? If you don't believe it, forget it, then I didn't say it. ”

Only then did Lu Su be convinced that what Liu He said was indeed true, and the seemingly random stroke he made just now had actually been carefully thought out a long time ago.

Liu He's stroke just now has reassigned most of Jingzhou to Sun Quan, although he failed to recover the entire Jingzhou, but Lu Su knows very well that this is the biggest concession Liu He can make.

The two returned to the banquet, and as soon as they sat down, Lu Su thanked him again and again, "This time, thanks to Mr. Tianji, Lu Mou can finally make a deal when he goes back." ”

Liu He suddenly said seriously: "Is it just a transaction?" I want to know if the territory I handed over to Mr. Zijing today is enough to exchange for a Jiangdong governor. ”

Lu Su was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were a little moist, "I never thought that Mr. Tianji would be able to consider such a situation for me......"

Liu He waved his hand and said: "I'm not thinking about you, I'm thinking about the people of Jingzhou and the soldiers of the two armies, only Mr. Zijing is the governor of Eastern Wu, and the two armies will not meet each other." ”

Lu Su nodded thoughtfully, and said slowly: "When I was in Jiangxia, I went back and thought about what you said to me. You're right, we can't end this mess on our own, but we can do what we can to make it possible for both sides to die less. ”

Saying that, Lu Su stood up, bowed down and saluted: "Today, I, Lu Zijing, promise Mr. Tianji that as long as I am still in the position of the governor of Eastern Wu, I will not let Jingzhou ignite the flames of war. ”
