Liu Bei took Huainan, and Sun Quan was furious about this, and even roared to raise troops to destroy Liu Beijun. However, his roar did not come true after all, because his subordinates, whether it was Zhou Yu, the metropolitan governor who had just gotten up from the sickbed, or Lu Su, the captain of the Zanjun military academy who followed Sun Quan to fight hard in Hefei, or the deputy governor Cheng Pu, who had never been very amicable with Zhou Yu, and the ministers and ministers under Sun Quan, were very opposed to Sun Quan's order.www.biquge.info As soon as they heard that their lord wanted to do this, they hurriedly ran from their respective places and gathered in the hall of the Lujiang Taishou Mansion to beg their lord Sun Quan to stop this behavior.

Everyone was opposed, and there were many people who were already very uninterested in Liu Bei, such as Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, which couldn't help but make Sun Quan feel strange. Although he still had anger in his heart, he had to force the anger in his chest, stared at the red eyes, and asked everyone sharply: "Why?" ”

"My lord, we can't fight anymore. In the past year since Chibi to the present, our army has fought again and again, not to mention that it has lost a lot of troops, only that the fatigue of this soldier and the low morale of the current army are not the basis for us to continue the expedition. Moreover, a lot of grain and grass that have been stored in Jiangdong have already been consumed during the successive conquests, and I am afraid that there will be a danger of running out of food if we continue to fight. "Captain Lu Su of the Zanjun Military Academy is also a military and political officer, and he is one of the advisers who have been with Sun Quan for a long time to conquer Huainan, and these things from his mouth seem very credible.

In fact, Sun Quan has long heard of these things. The reason why he immediately ordered the Northern Expedition to be stopped once Tai Shici died, that is, he knew that his army had reached a point where "the end of the strong crossbow cannot be worn by Lu Min". Because he really couldn't support it anymore, he had to return to the south, otherwise how could he give up so easily when he was bent on making achievements like a brother on the battlefield. Retreating, returning south, is really unacceptable. Because of this, he swallowed Huainan so angrily at Liu Bei - he was jealous of Liu Bei: "Why did I spend all my strength to attack and fight, but there was no result, and that Liu Bei could get such a piece of territory without spending much effort?" God, you're blind! ”

Out of the grievances in his heart, Sun Quan turned a blind eye to his current predicament, and was angry at the victory of Liu Bei, his ally. Only then did he lose his former shrewdness and decisiveness, and he became crazy for a while. Although from the whole reason, Liu Bei did not make any mistakes in seizing the land of Huainan in Cao Cao's hands after he withdrew his troops and gave up, nor did he really offend himself, but he still couldn't get used to Liu Bei's behavior.

"Hmph...... Can't fight? If you can't fight, you have to fight. Sun Quan showed his tough and arrogant side. Liu Bei's jealousy and anger made him completely lose the shrewdness and freshness of his famous property.

"Good...... Good! Everyone was about to answer, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the hall, and when everyone looked, they saw that the person who spoke was Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, the governor of the Eastern Wu Navy who had just recovered from illness.

"Gong Jin also thinks it's so good?" Everyone was shocked by Zhou Yu's words, but Sun Quan above immediately became excited. Although it was a little strange how Zhou Yu's position changed so quickly, finally someone agreed with him, and Sun Quan's face quickly smiled.

"Indeed!" Zhou Yu nodded heavily: "If the lord wants to dominate the world, he must defeat all enemies, including Liu Bei, including Cao Cao, including Li Sheng." Now that Jingzhou has been divided between Liu Bei and Li Sheng, there seems to be a secret alliance between the two, and westward expansion is unlikely; And Jiaozhou in the south has also been occupied by Li Sheng, coupled with the long distance and the same transportation, our army is not able to move south. Therefore, the only way in front of us now is to defeat Liu Bei and capture Huainan. Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes and analyzed carefully. Although he was talking about the truth at the moment, and there was no trace of a smile on his face, his fluttering white clothes and graceful appearance were more convincing than ordinary smiling people.

He is not wrong, for Dongwu, in the case that Liu Bei and Li Sheng have divided Jingzhou equally, it is impossible to go west, the east is the endless sea, and the south is Jiaozhou, which is full of dysentery and miasma, and the only way to expand is to choose to go north, and the most important thing to go north is to establish a solid forward base. Therefore, it became inevitable to seize Huainan and then possess Xuzhou. Although Liu Bei was his ally, he had Xuzhou undoubtedly cut off his road to the north, which was unacceptable to Eastern Wu in any case, so they could only choose to oppose Liu Bei.

"Alas...... That's true, but ...... At the moment, we really can't afford to fight anymore. Zhou Yu's words were undoubtedly very clear and convincing, and most of the people in the hall were persuaded by him, and they all thought that Huainan was a must, but many of them were still worried about their own strength.

"I know that, too, so I didn't say I'm going to send troops now?" Zhou Yu smiled. If he is attractive when he doesn't smile, then he is undoubtedly charming when he chuckles at the moment.

"Didn't say? So what do you just mean? Listening to his subordinates arguing for a long time, Sun Quan, the young lord's mood also dropped slightly. Although the anger in his heart still did not die quickly, and he still stood tall when he asked such a question, the head that had already become a ball of red charcoal was slightly cooled down at this moment. He began to think.

"Lord, I just think that Liu Bei must not fight, and Huainan must not be taken, but I definitely have no intention of launching an attack on Liu Bei now. Not to mention, the current strength of our army is no longer able to support a war, and even if it is completely possible, this is not a good time for us to send troops. You must know that Liu Bei took advantage of our fight with Cao Cao to take advantage of the fisherman's profits, if we fight with Liu Bei like this, who can sit on the fisherman's profits? When Cao Cao's threat is still so strong, unless we completely surrender to Cao Cao, we also need a force to share Cao Cao's pressure with us. Therefore, Liu Bei must not fight, Huainan must not be taken, we also need to pay attention to the strength of this fight and seizure. We should use other methods to deal with Liu Bei, and try to get what we need without him becoming mortal enemies with us. We must maintain an alliance against Cao Cao, unless the Lord has any intention of surrendering to Cao Cao. Zhou Yu said eloquently. His vision is very sharp, and he can see things very clearly, about his current situation, what kind of reaction he should have, how to treat Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and what kind of relationship he wants to maintain with Liu Bei.

"You mean ......?" Sun Quan hesitated slightly, vaguely understanding.

"The Lord sees it." Zhou Yu arched his hand towards Sun Quan, looked at everyone's still somewhat puzzled eyes, and gave a more detailed explanation of his thoughts: "The reason why our side is unable to fight again at the moment, the lord and you think it is completely understood. Why is this happening. This is not because our soldiers are not brave enough and our generals are not capable, but because our army has not been adequately trained in land warfare from the very beginning. Our side is a combat force that relies on the naval army, and for a long time it has neglected the army, and it does not understand the siege and defense of the city. This is the main reason why our army besieged Hefei for more than a year, but finally failed. So we need to train, retrain our soldiers, choreograph the army, and train our men to fight both land and water. That's what we've done in the last two years. We must train our army well while repairing our politics internally. This is one of them. Zhou Yu said and stretched out the index finger of his right hand. Everyone listened to him with bated breath, and for a moment the hall was silent.

"Two." Zhou Yu stretched out his middle finger and said in a loud voice: "Our side should be true in action and in name Liu Bei's provocative behavior against us. 'Huainan is our place, you Liu Bei can't take Huainan. We must declare this to Liu Bei. The so-called teacher is famous, and now that Liu Bei and we are in an alliance, we can't attack him at will. Otherwise, the world will look down on the lord. We must ask Liu Bei to let Huainan out. ”

"Tell Liu Bei to give up Huainan? It's a good idea. But isn't it a bit whimsical? Sun Quan looked incredulous: "Give up a good piece of territory, I'm afraid that no one else will do such a thing except for Li Sheng's fool, right?" There doesn't seem to be such a rule in history. He smirked and shook his head.

"There is no such rule, but we have to make him this rule." Zhou Yu smiled mysteriously, but asked his lord with a serious face: "Lord, do you think that Li Sheng is a fool's act to give up the city he has built?" ”

"Isn't it? It's just a matter of letting go of the broken place in Jiangxia. actually gave up Xiangyang, such a big city is hard to buy. If I were Li Sheng, I would never have given up there. Sun Quan said affirmatively.

"Don't get out of there. That means that this is going to be fought against us and Liu Bei. Moreover, Xiangyang was also close to Xinye, and at that time this place was completely under Cao Cao's control, and taking Xiangyang meant that we had to deal with our and Liu Bei's troops in the east, and Cao Cao in the north. Although we may not really fight with Li Sheng under that circumstance at that time, it is certain that we will be entangled with Li Sheng because of unwillingness and our own interests like now. I think Li Sheng probably just gave up the territory in his hand for this reason. He took the initiative to give up his territory, and he did a beautiful job, so although we were very unwilling to the final distribution, we would not offend him. gave up a little benefit, but got our friendship, and we were embarrassed to continue to ask him for Jingzhou, and cut off our idea of going west. Zhou Yu explained with a little regret, "In terms of diplomatic means, we can say that we have lost a lot to Li Sheng." ”

"There's some truth to that. But do you think Liu Bei will agree to our request? Sun Quan asked again.

"It would have been best if he had said yes. If not, then we don't need to press him too hard, just let him admit that his Huainan land is what we have temporarily lent him. Anyway, we can't rely on force to return to Huainan now, so it's better to get such an excuse to prepare for our future moves. Zhou Yu said with a faint smile, this is the real purpose of his second step. He is famous, and in doing so, he is making the name come true.

"And what about the third?" Sun Quan asked, he always felt that Zhou Yu's words were still a little unfinished.

"The third is to press step by step, adapt to the situation, in short, continue to realize that Huainan is such a problem for us. Prepare for the day when we can take Huainan by force, if Liu Bei refuses to return Huainan. Zhou Yu said with a smile: "This big regulation, how to do it, but it needs to be formulated according to different times and different situations." No matter what, our goal is always the only one, and that is to capture Huainan. ”

"Capture Huainan?" Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and his gaze became firm: "That's right, we are going to seize Huainan." All of a sudden, Sun Quan was firm in his goal.

Since such a policy was set in the temple, Sun Quanjun naturally took corresponding action: Sun Quan led his troops back to the Chaisang base camp, and handed over Lujiang County to Zhou Yu in the north. At this moment, Lujiang County has been different from the former Lujiang County, after the annexation of Cao Cao's North Lujiang County, Dongwu has owned all the counties of Lujiang County of the Han Dynasty except Yangquan, and has Shu County, Linhu, Xiang'an, Juchao, Anhui County, Xunyang, Longshu, Lu'an, Anfeng, Qianxian, Yanlou, Liaoxian and other thirteen counties. Zhou Yu led the troops to live in the nest as the central protector and the left capital, and led the Lujiang Taishou to live in the nest, and trained the sailors and horses on the shore of Chaohu Lake. However, unlike before, at this moment, the drill has also added a lot of land warfare aspects, such as siege and the like. At this time, Soochow had spent more than a year working hard to complete the study of some ordnance materials that Li Sheng had provided to him when he formed an alliance in the Battle of Chibi, although for some reason he could not move all the huge weapons to his own ship like Li Sheng, but the completion of the gourd on land, such as the catapult and the weapons in the bed crossbow, was still competent. After Zhou Yu arrived at Juchao, he ordered craftsmen to build these heavy siege weapons day and night, making it clear that he was going to take action against Hefei, which was occupied by Liu Bei in the north.

At this time, Sun Quan of Chaisang sent Captain Lu Su to Xiangyang to mourn Liu Qi, the recently deceased pastor of Jingzhou.

Taking on the task of mourning, this is the second time for Lu Su. And what made Lu Su, a humble elder, feel a little embarrassed was that the two mournings were related to Jingzhou, and the two mournings were not purely mourning for the sake of mourning. "Is that hypocrisy?" Sitting on the carriage marching towards Xiangyang, Lu Su didn't see the busy scene outside the car that had begun spring ploughing, but he was just thinking about his own affairs.

If it is said that Liu Biao's death is due to human aging, and it does not seem surprising, then the death of Liu Qi, the Jingzhou pastor who was erected by Liu Bei, is not surprising because he is too frail. Although he was far away in Jiangdong, because he had an alliance with Liu Bei and Jingzhou was also the focus of attention of Eastern Wu, Lu Su was not ignorant of Liu Qi, the titular Jingzhou pastor, and occasionally heard of his absurd and lewd and alcoholic style. As early as the battle of Chibi in the past year, when he met with this Liu Qi son, he also saw the future of Liu Qi's life. I thought that Liu Qi would die last year, but I didn't want to delay it until this year-"This is completely the result of the efforts of the doctors of Xinglin Academy under Li Yuanjun." Lu Su listened to Jian Yong, who accompanied him into the city, said.

Xinglin-in? This Lu Su also understands. Li Sheng, who had returned from Jiaozhou to collect troops, while further completing the so-called "July reorganization" policy, made great efforts to open a academy in the southern suburbs of Changsha County, called Linxiang Academy, and hired Jingzhou's great Confucian scholars such as Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Pang Degong, and Zhang Ji to give lectures in the academy. Because of the large number of students who studied and Li Sheng himself had some requirements, the entire Linxiang Academy was divided into several small courtyards: the Confucian Academy studied Confucianism, the Gewu Academy learned Taoism (in fact, it was physics, chemistry, equipment manufacturing and the like, because most of the people who taught the classes were Taoists, so outsiders thought that the Gewu Academy learned the Tao), the Military Academy cultivated sergeants, and the Xinglin Academy practiced medicine. Because of the existence of such a great power as Zhang Ji, who is both a Confucian doctor and a doctor, Xinglin Academy has indeed gathered such a group of famous doctors. Obviously, when Liu Qi was seriously ill, Liu Bei, as Liu Qi's "guardian", took advantage of his relationship with Li Sheng and invited these famous doctors from Xinglin Courtyard to treat Liu Qi. Although Liu Qi may not have been really saved, it did allow Liu Qi to prolong his life this year.

"That's a good thing, too." Hearing Jian Yong say this, Lu Su couldn't help but think of Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin's body is not too good, is it?" If these people in Xinglin Courtyard really have the ability, do you also want to ask them to go to Jiangdong to take a look at Gongjin? This is also a necessary thing. After Lu Su thought about dealing with the matter here, he went to Changsha to take a walk. After all, Zhou Yu is his friend, and he is the pillar of the entire Soochow.

While thinking about it, the carriage was already in the Taishou Mansion in Xiangyang. Then Liu Bei came out early and approached Lu Su to the mansion. At this moment, a huge Taishou Mansion has been decorated with white paper and white cloth like a snowy region. Lu Su walked in with Liu Bei, and felt the difference between inside and outside: although the temperature outside the house was not high, it was still a little green*, and the house was covered in silver, coupled with the sound of crying, people couldn't help but feel the cold that belonged to the east while shivering.

“…… The youth is gone, and sorrow comes from it...... "In front of the spirit surrounded by everyone, Lu Su ordered people to put on the sacrifices he brought, choked and recited aloud the sacrifice to Liu Qi under the tears that kept falling. Although the purpose of his coming here is by no means as simple as it seems, this ostensible task still needs to be completed. A surging sacrificial text, but more than 2,000 words, but it was written by a special person in Jiangdong, and this thing is very touching under Lu Su's sincere actions and vivid expressions. If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the hall knew that it was tight, otherwise they would really think that Lu Su had a deep friendship with this Liu Qi.

After the memorial service was completed, Lu Su followed Liu Bei to the side hall. The two sides sat down regardless of their status, only the guests and hosts. Lu Su persuaded Liu Bei to mourn again, but he talked about today's purpose very bluntly: "Today is a mourning, and I shouldn't have talked about this, but Su is my lord's courtier, but he wants to share my lord's worries: my lord Wu Hou, and the governor Gongjin, Jiao repeatedly declared the emperor's uncle, the former, who led millions of people, named Jiangnan, and really wanted to come to the emperor's uncle; Fortunately, Eastern Wu killed and retreated Cao's soldiers, saved the emperor's uncle, and fought with the emperor's uncle in Huainan in order to serve the country and crusade against the traitors. Therefore, Huainan and its place, I Dongwu have contributed a lot, and it should be attributed to Dongwu. Now the emperor's uncle used tricks to seize Huainan, so that Jiangdong spent money on food, military horses, and lost the general, and the emperor's uncle was affected by it, and he was afraid that it would not be reasonable. ”

"This ......" Liu Bei seemed to be asked, the sadness on his face had not yet dissipated, his eyes were very red, and the rolling tears were still rolling in his faintly dark eyes. He didn't cry, as if he was holding back, and only looked at Lu Su with a little stunned and sad eyes. This tearful appearance rushed straight into Lu Su's heart like an invisible thorn, making him feel as if he had made a big mistake.

Lu Su is an honest gentleman, how can he stand such a look, but he lowered his head at the moment, silently admitting his mistake and not daring to look at Liu Bei again. "The idea of the lord and the princess is really a little wrong." He thought so. Although he also understands that the loss of Huainan is equivalent to losing his way to the north, but it is really a little undeserved when he is in mourning and grieving at home. In his opinion, even if he wants to ask Liu Bei for the land of Huainan, it should be a little later, and it should not be like this now.

Looking at Liu Bei's painful appearance, Lu Su felt a little unbearable in his heart, he opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't make a sound. Just as he was hesitating and embarrassed, a voice suddenly refuted himself sounded: "Brother Zijing is so unreasonable." If you talk about the battle of Chibi, my lord is also a soldier who uses his life and stands forward. Cao Cao is under the south of the Yangtze River, and he is the sole owner of my family? I'm afraid that the possibility of seeing you Jiangdong is far greater than that of my lord. The alliance of the three families was originally for the interests of the three families, what does it mean that Dongwu saved the emperor's uncle? In addition, the land of Huainan does not belong to Eastern Wu, and it does not belong to Cao Cao, but the territory of the Han Dynasty, and Cao Cao used to be just a thief. Since it is a stealing residence, whether it is you Dongwu or my side, if you want to take it, it is just a matter of relying on means. What's more, when my lord took Huainan, the lord of your family had already retreated, and his land and city were all under the command of my lord and his lord. What Brother Zijing said is really a bit strong. ”

The righteous words were strict, but there were some sarcastic words, which made Lu Su feel uncomfortable. He raised his head and looked away, but saw that the person who spoke was the extremely young military advisor under Liu Bei, Ma Yan, who was not yet twenty years old.

"That's not true. If you consider each thing in isolation, it seems that what you said is not wrong. But to connect the whole thing, don't you think what you're saying is too much? Lu Su retorted. He was an honest man, but he was also a smart man, and he rarely did anything to argue, but he was not completely incapacitated. In fact, most of those who are as smart as others, with a few exceptions, are good at this: "Before Chibi, you should all know what the defeat of the imperial uncle was. No matter how much effort the naval army of Eastern Wu and Li Yuanjun's men and horses have contributed to, the imperial uncle should not deny it, so whether the three families are divided into more or less imperial uncles, I say that the imperial uncle should not bully the world too much. The matter of Huainan, I besieged the city of Dongwu for half a year, and how many soldiers and horses were mobilized to him, everyone in the world can see it. If it weren't for the Huainan army gathering in Hefei, how could Uncle Huang attack Shouchun so quickly? What is the key to this, I think Uncle Huang can't deny that our contribution is far higher than Uncle Huang's. Lu Su said clearly, he did not directly accuse Liu Bei, but just pointed out the matter in moderation and let Liu Bei think about it himself. He knew that a person like Liu Bei, who cherished his reputation as much as his wings, was unlikely to do something that violated justice.

Ma Tan was silent, he seemed to have been refuted by Lu Su and was speechless. Facts are facts, and he cannot refute the existence of facts by how he tells nonsense. Although he was very unwilling to do this, because it was his plan to seize Xuzhou, which Huainan had suggested to capture after his lord, he really couldn't just throw everything off in the face of Lu Su's righteous and awe-inspiring accusation. Because the alliance with Dongwu will continue, even if Liu Bei's side wants to offend Dongwu, it is impossible to offend too much. In other words, they can't touch the bottom line of Soochow.

"Alas...... There is nothing wrong with saying that, but please also ask Mr. Zijing to understand our current predicament. Before our army took Huainan, the places it owned were only Nanjun, Nanyang, Xiyang, Runan and other places, which were already dilapidated under Cao Cao's plunder, and were not enough to cope with the cultivation of our 100,000 troops. If there is no food and grass in Huainan, I am afraid that the soldiers on my side will really die and have no place to be buried. Liu Bei said with a sad face.

"This is admittedly a question, but ......" Lu Su was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ma Tan.

"Mr. Zijing, it's better to do this. Please give my lord a guarantor, and say that I will temporarily borrow Huainan County for a few years to raise soldiers for my lord of my family. As soon as the lord of my family seized the new place, he returned this Huainan place to Soochow. Ma Tan thought about it and suggested.

"As a guarantee, how can this be?" Although Zhou Yu made it clear when he came that he could use such a reason to give himself a step down to Liu Bei, Lu Su understood that at the moment, he would never agree too quickly. So, he hesitated.

"Why not?" Ma Yan's face changed slightly, and his words became excited: "If this doesn't work, then you don't understand things!" Since Emperor Gao slashed the snake uprising, opened the foundation and established a business, and passed on to the present; Unfortunately, the adulterous male and the male rise together, each according to one side; It is rare for the way of heaven to return to orthodoxy. My master is the queen of King Jing of Zhongshan, the great-grandson of Emperor Xiaojing, and the uncle of the current emperor, can't he split the soil? In addition, although the land of Huainan has the credit of your Eastern Wu, it is a city that my lord personally captured, so why not occupy it? Your lord is the son of a small official in Qiantang, and he has no merit in the court; Now relying on the power, occupying six counties and eighty-one states, he is still greedy and wants to annex the Han land. Liu's world, my lord's surname is Liu, and your lord's surname is Sun. And the battle of Chibi and the battle of Huainan, my lord is industrious, and all the generals use their lives, is it only Rudong Wu's doing? As soon as Jiangnan was broken, Hugh said that Erqiao was placed in Tongque Palace, although the public family was small, it could not be guaranteed. If my master does not agree, he will be a wise man, and he will not be elaborated. He Gong didn't notice it! Now, we have said that we are only temporarily borrowing Huainan for a while, and the black characters on a white background are written in plain text, which is much more tolerant. If you don't even agree to these final conditions, I'm afraid you'll really make my lord angry. At that time, 100,000 troops will go down to the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention that you can't hold it in Dongwu, but this battle between you and me is for outsiders to laugh at. You need to know that this Cao Cao is still in the north, and you and I are confronting Cao Cao with territory, but they are both defeats if they share two benefits. ”

Ma Yan's words were still very sharp, he was half preaching, half threatening to tell the matter like this, but he stuck Lu Su there. Lu Su was stunned for a long time, and seemed to be a little stunned, and only after a long time did he ask: "Since this is the case, I have to take care of one or two." However, Uncle Huang said that he would return to Huainan when he went to other places, I don't know where this other land is? ”

"Those who are strong and weak are wise in troubled times. Although Cao Cao in the north was defeated, his strength still existed, and he really couldn't compete with him. Xichuan Liu Zhang is weak, my lord wants to take it, but the road is not passable, and Liu Zhang and the lord are not insulted. Therefore, my lord planned to recover Fangling County in the northwest of Jingzhou first, and then from Fangling County to Dongchuan, and finally capture Dongchuan. Now, I will make an agreement with Zijing that if our army receives Dongchuan, I will return this Huainan to you. After all, Dongchuan is the land of heaven in Hanzhong, and it is also a horse that can raise my lord. Ma Jian said calmly.

"Alright then!" Lu Su was helpless, so he had to listen to Ma Yan's advice. At that moment, Liu Bei wrote a mortgage paper, and Ma Jian also drew it, plus his own painting mortgage, but he completed such a matter with the specifications of the civil pawn mortgage, and Lu Su put it away. seemed to be still a little worried, so Lu Su repeatedly told Liu Bei: "Uncle Zhihuang is a benevolent and righteous person, and don't bear us back." ”

"That's nature." Liu Bei nodded again and again. On the side, there was Ma Yan's words: "Please ask Brother Zijing to do everything on your behalf." Seeing Wu Hou's kind words, he was delusional. If I was not allowed to do the paperwork, I turned my face and even took the eighty-one states. Today, as long as the two families are harmonious, they will stop teaching Cao thief jokes. At that moment, Liu Bei asked people to set up a banquet with Lu Su, and had a good time with him, so he responded to Lu Su's resignation, sent it to the riverside, followed by the boat in Jiangdong, waved goodbye, but because they all got what they thought in their hearts, they were all smiling.

At that time, the news that Liu Bei and Lu Su had met and signed an alliance reached Changsha, and Pang Degong, who was responsible for compiling the "History of the Han Dynasty", ordered people to engrave this paragraph on the bamboo slips of the "History of the Han Dynasty": "On the third day of the third month of the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Wu Hou Sun Quan sent Lu Su to Jingzhou to talk with Liu Bei about Huainan. Because at that time, Cao Gong was still watching in the north, so neither Liu Bei nor Sun Quan wanted to dwell too much on the Huainan issue. However, the name does not match the reality, and the importance of the land of Huainan has always become a sharp thorn in the hearts of both Dongwu and Liu Bei. ”
