When Liu Yuan heard this, his face was clear, and his joy was overflowing.

Hurriedly said: "So Zijing is not Sun Zhongmou's subordinate?" ”

In Lu Su's words, he only called Sun Quan a 'lord', not a lord. This made Liu Yuan very happy.

Historically, although Lu Su's brilliance was overshadowed by Wolong, Feng Xiao and others, no one could deny his talent, and his military strategy and politics were all understandable. In the early days of the Wu Kingdom, it was only by relying on a few talents such as Zhou Yu and Lu Su that it was supported and developed.

More importantly, Lusu has a wide range of travel. Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong and even Xu Shu and other great talents all have an extraordinary friendship with him!

Lu Su was stunned, nodded and said, "But that's the case." Zhang Hong, a friend of the next, is engaged in by Lord Sun Zhongmou, but because of the heavy affairs, he can't be separated, so he entrusts him to come down. ”

"Zhang Hong?" Liu Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "But Zhang Hong, a native of Guangling, Xuzhou, Zhang Zigang? ”

"Exactly." Lu Su replied.

When Liu Yuan heard this, his brows furrowed.

Zhang Hong is Zhang Zhao's elder brother, who has been living in Guangling, and has stood up in his old age, but has not yet become a leader. Liu Yuan received Zhang Zhao under his command before, and was about to knock down his eldest brother Zhang Hong, but he didn't expect that Zhang Hong actually voted for Sun Quan at this hurdle.

Liu Yuan thought about it for a while, and roughly sorted out the context. Thinking that during the time when Zhang Zhao was in Youzhou, Zhang Hong couldn't bear the loneliness, so he voted for Sun Quan. At this time, the messenger sent by Liu Yuan to Tao Qian in Xuzhou may have just arrived in Xuzhou, and he has just missed the opportunity!

With a sigh in his heart, Liu Yuan put the matter behind him. Since it has been missed and it has become a fact, it can only be left to him.

After sorting out his thoughts, Liu Yuan said again: "I don't know what Sun Zhongmou has to say?" ”

But he turned the topic to the right point and got down to business.

Lu Su's face was solemn and he said, "Lord Sun first asks King Yuyang not to embarrass Sun Jian and Sun Ce. ”

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "This king and Sun Wentai are old days, and they also suppressed the Yellow Turban and crusaded against Dong Zhuo together, so they can be regarded as friends. Now that he has invited his father and son to come to my Youzhou as guests, how can he be entertained? How can you embarrass them? ”

Hearing this, Lu Su nodded, and said, "Second, Lord Sun Zhongmou, may I ask King Yuyang, how can I send back Sun Jian and Sun Ce?" ”

"This matter is easy!" Liu Yuan laughed: "As long as Sun Zhongmou recognizes this king as the master!" ”

When Lu Su heard this, he almost choked.

There are not a few large armies in the hands of Sun Quan, and now they have cut off the connection between Yuan Shu and the south of Yangzhou, and most of Yangzhou is basically about to fall into his hands, and it has become a hegemonic trend, how can he be willing to give away the foundation that has just arrived and has not yet been covered with heat?

However, as soon as Lu Su's head turned, he roughly understood what Liu Yuan meant, and his heart was full of words.

The king of Yuyang took Sun Quan's father, brother and sister in exchange for the land of Jiangdong. If Sun Quan follows it, he can still win a filial piety, but the foundation has to be handed over. If you don't obey, you are disloyal and unfilial, and you abandon your father and brother for your own sake, and you are a great rebel. When the reputation is insignificant, who else wants to work for him?

After Lu Su understood this, he carefully looked at the Yuyang King in front of him again.

It's no wonder that this person can shock the world at a young age, according to half of the land of the Han Dynasty, but he is really not an ordinary person! Conspiracy and conspiracy, the combination of yin and yang makes it perfect!

"This" Lu Su was speechless, not knowing how to answer.

Liu Yuan looked at Lu Su with an interesting face, and also wanted to hear his defense.

Lu Su pondered for a long time, pondered for a long time, and then said: "The prince is heroic, and he is extraordinary in the world. But by such means, you have won Jiangdong, aren't you afraid that the world will laugh at you? ”

Lu Su's words are very interesting. First of all, he emphasized Liu Yuan's prestige and high position. Since he has such a status and prestige, what he does should match it, and the threat of house arrest of his father, brother and sister, even if he gets Jiangdong, I am afraid that Liu Yuan's reputation will also be damaged.

Liu Yuan laughed when he heard this: "What Zijing said is not bad. ”

Lu Su suddenly smiled.

"But" Liu Yuan shook his head and said with a smile: "What is the prestige and status of this king?" If we can end the troubled times as soon as possible and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, it will be to leave this king stinking for 10,000 years, and this king will not regret it! ”

Lu Su smiled and was speechless. At the same time, a wave of respect rose from my heart.

He didn't doubt King Yuyang's words. Since Yanzhou crossed the Yellow River and entered Jizhou, he has heard and witnessed that although Jizhou has just been rebuilt, the heartfelt smiling faces of the people have touched him deeply. Especially after entering Youzhou later, he saw the prosperity and prosperity!

The facts are in front of you, if the king of Yuyang does not have the people in mind, how can there be such a weather in this land of Hebei?

"The prince is open-minded, Lu Su admires!" Lu Su got up, gave a long salute, and said: "If all the people in power in the world have such a heart as the prince, how can I have tens of millions of people in the Han Dynasty?" How could my Han Dynasty decline and wither? ”

"Sit down, sit down." Liu Yuan said: "Zijing is a false praise. However, this official is not in charge of the people, so it is better to go home and plant millet. As the lord of Youzhou and the king of the Han Dynasty, if he did not have the livelihood of the people of the world in his heart, this king would simply abandon his official position and return to his hometown! ”

Lu Su surrendered, and the more he looked at Liu Yuan, the more he had a good impression.

"So, Zijing just made Sun Zhongmou's two-point request, is there a third point?" Liu Yuan changed his words and pulled the topic back again.

Lu Su perked up and said, "Naturally." Third, Lord Sun Zhongmou wanted to purchase some armaments and materials from the King of Yuyang, such as weapons, horses, and so on. If King Yuyang agrees, the price is not a problem. ”

"Oh? Hehehe, it seems that Sun Zhongmou has money in his pocket! Liu Yuan said with a smile: "It is not difficult to purchase armaments and materials. It depends on how much money he Sun Zhongmou has in his pocket, or whether he has more weapons in the king's treasury. You know, 10,000 sets of weapons is a million gold! ”

When Lu Su heard this, his face showed a slight color of disbelief: "Lord Wang, what kind of weapon is worth a set of 100 gold?" What's more, I heard that Cao Yanzhou and Liu Jingzhou purchased 20,000 sets of weapons, 10,000 war horses, and 100,000 stone grain from the prince, and they only paid 500,000 gold.

"Alas," Liu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "This king's weapons are all made of refined steel!" Whether it is a blade or an armor, it is all of the best quality, a set of 100 gold, which can be said to be an extremely cheap price! Liu Yuan looked like 'you take advantage of', and said: "As for Cao Mengde and Liu Jingsheng, hehe, Cao Mengde has been friends with this king for more than ten years, and they are close friends, so it makes sense to be cheaper." And Liu Jingsheng and this king are not only relatives, but also friends who have known each other for nearly ten years, so, hehehe"

Lu Su was speechless again.

Yuyang Wang is right. The last big sale was because of this relationship. But you Sun Zhongmou and the King of Yuyang don't know each other, and if people don't slaughter you ruthlessly, even if they are a gift from God, do you still want to discount? Dream on!

And if the king of Yuyang had not said it, if the weapon was really made of stainless steel, a set of 100 gold would not be expensive at all. You must know that the Han Dynasty is not without steel, but the annual output is so small, and it is monopolized by the wealthy lords with heavy money, and what kind of magic weapons are created.

You must know that the so-called magic weapons are worth thousands of gold and ten thousand gold!

Thinking of this, Lu Su was also shocked by the strength of Youzhou!

He actually made weapons out of stainless steel and popularized the whole army! How strong is it to achieve this?

"Alas," Lu Su smiled slightly bitterly, sighed and said to Liu Yuan: "It seems that Lu is not a lobbyist at all." Between the words, it was said that he could not complete the task assigned by Sun Quan and could not convince Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan shook his head and smiled: "No, no, no." It's not that Zi respects your tongue and tongue is not good enough, just because in these things, this king occupies a rational word! ”

Lu Su nodded slightly, agreeing with Liu Yuan's statement.

In these two matters, Liu Yuan occupies the commanding heights of the truth and is full of confidence. Whether it is the refusal to release Sun Jian's father and son, or the price of armaments, Liu Yuan has a sufficient, justifiable, and non-negligible reason.

At this moment, a subordinate came in and said to Liu Yuan: "Lord Wang, the wine and food are ready." ”

Liu Yuan nodded and waved away, and said to Lu Su: "Zijing has been in the dust all the way, he must be tired, let this king pick up the wind and wash the dust for you!" After that, he got up, pulled up Lu Su and looked away from the hall.

"Uh, my lord, this armament"

Lu Su said as he walked.

"You have to eat food, and you have to do business." Liu Yuan smiled as he walked: "A set of 100 gold weapons, a war horse of 50 gold, how much Sun Zhongmou can pay, this king will sell him as much as he wants!" ”

Lu Su took a long breath, and the secret path was finally done, although it was not perfect, but he also had a clear conscience, so he smiled and went to eat with Liu Yuan.

Speaking at this time, Xuzhou.

Since Zhang Zhao went to Youzhou, it has been more than ten months. Tao Qian couldn't sleep well and didn't eat well this month, and he was obviously much older.

On this day, someone came to report that the envoy from Youzhou had arrived.

Tao Qian didn't dare to slack off, and immediately asked people to welcome the messenger in.

This envoy of Youzhou is also young, but he is in his twenties, and he has a shrewd scholarly temperament in Youzhou, and his eyes are very clear and seem to be quite wise. This person is the previous graduate who graduated from Youzhou Academy. After a year or two of training under Fu Zhi, he was sent as an envoy to Xuzhou.

"In Linyun in Xiayouzhou, meet Taozhou Mu!"

The messenger bowed his hand first, and did the etiquette.

"Messenger, please be seated." Tao Qian stretched out his hand and motioned for Lin Yun to sit down.

"I wonder where the messenger came from?"

Tao Qian's words are suspected of taking off his pants and farting, which is purely superfluous.

Lin Yun didn't care either, and said, "This is to convey the meaning of my lord Yuyang King." ”

Tao Qian's spirits perked up, his face was a little nervous, and he said, "Messenger, please speak." ”

"For Tao Zhoumu's proposal, my lord basically agrees." Lin Yun said: "First, my lord is in favor of marriage; Second, our lord is in favor of an alliance with the Taozhou pastor; Third, our lord is willing to trade with Xuzhou. ”

This voice, like a heavenly sound, made Tao Qian's whole person relax, and on an old face, there was a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, and said: "King Yuyang understands the righteousness, and the old man is very grateful!" ”

"Although my lord agreed to Tao Zhoumu's three proposals, there are also conditions." Lin Yun said lightly.

Tao Qian naturally knew that it was not so easy to negotiate peace, but as long as Liu Yuan responded, everything else would be easy.

"Messenger, please speak."

"First, since Miss Mi family has entered Youzhou as a concubine, then the Mi family must move her family to Youzhou, and Taozhou Mu must not stop it for one reason or another."

"Second, Zhang Zhao and Chen Deng have already served our king, engaged in the palace, Taozhou Mu must not embarrass the two families, etc., and when they return to Youzhou, they will send people to escort the Chen and Zhang families, and the family will move to Youzhou."

"Third, my king promised that if the Mi, Chen, and Zhang families could safely enter the scope of my king's jurisdiction, they would allow Taozhou to use 10,000 horses and horses, only 800,000 gold."

"Fourth, our king released Cao Bao, the general of Xuzhou, and 40,000 prisoners."

After Lin Yun finished speaking, he sat still.

After Tao Qian listened, his face changed rapidly, and he was thinking about gains and losses in his heart.
