Chapter 133: The Attitude of the Alliance Faction
The sky is not clear, and the light rain is light and dusty.
Under the dim sky, a man and a rider rushed along the avenue, and reached the south gate of Baqiu in a moment.
"Open the city gate quickly, I want to see your General Jialu."
The young general, dressed in a silver robe, sitting on his hips, wearing a sword at his waist, and dragging a heavy spear diagonally, shouted at the guard Wu Jun at the south gate of Baqiu City across the moat.
"Before the gates are opened, if you don't have an emergency pass, wait until dawn before you enter the city." The colonel at the city gate shouted at him impatiently.
The blade seemed to be dissatisfied with his eyes, and the young knight said in a loud voice: "Go and tell your general Lu Zijing, and say that Liu Feng of Changsha will pay a visit." ”
Liu Feng!
This name is not said to be Jingzhou at the moment, even the northern country is also thunderous, and the guards in the city were shocked when they heard this name. Liu Feng's sudden arrival made the city guards realize the serious surname, and hurriedly sent someone to report Lu Su.
Liu Feng saw that the city was no longer squeaking, and knew that they had already gone to report to Lu Su, so he was not in a hurry to call the door again, untied his skin and drank a few sips of water to relieve the hardship of Lian Yu's journey.
After about a stick of incense, the drawbridge creaked down, the city gate was wide open, and a polite Confucian general, under the protection of several riders, hurriedly came out of the city.
Lu Su, as a diplomatic envoy of Sun and Wu, was the same as Zhuge Liang at the beginning, and often traveled between Xiakou and Chaisang, and Liu Feng also met a few times. Although the two have only met a few times, they are both well-informed and ambitious people, and now as soon as they meet, they recognize who the other party is.
"General Liu is here, and I will forgive you for missing it."
Lu Suma greeted him, and his tone was polite, but the kind of surprise that flashed in his eyebrows could not escape Liu Feng's eyes, and it was obvious that Liu Feng's sudden visit was completely unexpected by the second strategist of Eastern Wu.
Liu Feng bowed: "It's because I didn't squeak in advance, and I visited suddenly, and I ask General Lu to forgive me." ”
Lu Su and Liu Feng drove side by side, accompanied him into Baqiu City, and said curiously: "General Liu is not in Linxiang to preside over the overall situation, but he has come all the way to Baqiu, and I don't know what General Liu is doing. ”
Lu Su did not directly say the war between him and Liu Bei, obviously not wanting to embarrass the scene.
"Linxiang City is solid, without me sitting in the town, it is as stable as Mount Tai, do not hide from General Lu, I went north this time, it is for a private matter, just passing through Baqiu, and visiting General Lu by the way."
Liu Feng's words made Lu Su feel more and more strange.
For Lu Su, Liu Feng can be said to be a complete stranger, if it weren't for the storm he and Liu Qi set off in Jingnan, maybe Lu Su wouldn't have noticed this penniless young man at all.
When Liu Feng openly broke with Liu Bei, and the "Book of Righteous Destruction of Relatives" spread all over the world, Lu Su really began to pay attention to this person, but Liu Feng's various behaviors that did not follow common sense made it difficult for Lu Su to figure out.
At this time, seeing Liu Feng with his own eyes, Lu Su still couldn't make a correct judgment, the young man next to him was like being wrapped in a snow-white mist, which made people seem transparent and bright, but in fact, no one could grasp how deep his city was.
"Forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, but I don't know what General Liu is going to do when he passes through my Baqiu?" Driven by curiosity, Lu Su couldn't help but ask again.
Liu Feng was waiting for this sentence, and said with a smile at the moment: "Speaking of this matter, it has something to do with General Lu. ”
"Something to do with me?" Lu Su was stunned, his face dazed.
"To tell you the truth, the real purpose of my passage through Baqiu this time is to visit Wu Hou and ask him for marriage in person."
Liu Feng said his original intention lightly, but Lu Su changed color when he heard the words, and the word "marriage" pierced his mind like a bolt of lightning, which instantly gave him a great shock.
Knowing that Lu Su was extremely shocked, Liu Feng behaved more and more calmly, as if what he said and did was what he should do.
"To be honest, I heard that Wu Hou has a sister who is Shang Xiang, and now she is waiting in the boudoir, which has been admired by this Miss Shang Xiang for a long time, so she made a special trip to Wu Hou to propose marriage, in order to marry Qin and Jin. Zi Jing is the most trusted person under Wu Hou's command, so this matter naturally has something to do with you. ”
Lu Su is also a resourceful man, Liu Feng has made it clear to this point, how can he still not be enlightened, it turns out that this kid actually wants to borrow his power from Dongwu to resist Liu Bei.
Lu Su's mind, all kinds of thoughts flashed, he was quickly weighing the impact of Liu Feng's move on Eastern Wu, he had always put the fight against Cao in the first place, and soon came to the conclusion: marrying Liu Feng has a hundred benefits and no harm.
"Hehe, General Liu, you are a hero who loves beauty, in my opinion, this period of Jiayu is very good, if it can be done, it is really a match made in heaven."
Lu Su's attitude suddenly changed subtly, and he was a little closer to Liu Feng in his words and tone, and listening to his superficial words, he actually agreed with Liu Feng's proposal very much.
In Liu Feng's slightly tired eyes, a strange sneer inadvertently flashed, just as he expected, Lu Su's attitude was completely within his expectations.
In fact, if Liu Feng was in a hurry, he could have bypassed Baqiu and went straight east to see Sun Quan, the reason why he deliberately knocked on the door to alarm Lu Su was to touch Lu Su's attitude.
As a staunch Lianliu anti-Cao faction, in Lu Su's view, if the two Liu continue to fight, then the pressure of the Cao army in the direction of Xiangyang will all be on the shoulders of Dongwu, plus the pressure in the direction of Hefei, the current Dongwu does not have the strength to fight against the Cao army on two fronts at the same time.
Of course, Lu Su hoped that the war between the two Liu could be stopped, but Liu Feng's rebellion was, to a certain extent, also an internal dispute among the Liu family, and Lu Su thought that as an outsider, it was not easy to take the initiative to get involved. But now it's different, Liu Feng took the initiative to extend an olive branch, and Dongwu had a reason to intervene, which of course Lu Su couldn't ask for.
It was based on these reasons that Liu Feng dared to conclude that Lu Su would inevitably support him.
At that moment, the two entered the city hand in hand, and Lu Su warmly summoned Liu Feng in his mansion, and said that he would send the warships and soldiers of Eastern Wu to escort Liu Feng to meet Wu Hou as soon as possible.
When the banquet was in full swing, Lu Su received a secret order from Zhou Yu, after Lu Su read it, he couldn't help but smile strangely, and actually handed the secret order to Liu Feng, and said with a smile: "General Liu, it seems that the governor of my family, Zhou Dudu, is also very optimistic about the general." ”
After taking the official document, Liu Feng suddenly realized that Zhou Yu was in the secret order, and ordered Lu Su to quickly arrange a caravan under the banner of Jiangdong to go to Linxiang City to sell goods with great fanfare.
The merchant ships of the Wu people wanted to enter Linxiang to do business, and Liu Bei, who was besieging the city, naturally did not dare to offend, in order not to hurt the Wu people, Liu Bei had to temporarily stop the attack on Linxiang City, Zhou Yu's move, it was clear that he was secretly helping Liu Feng to alleviate the danger of Linxiang.
At this time, Liu Feng couldn't help but think of Pang Tong, and he suddenly had a hunch, Zhou Yu's unexpected move was not from Pang Tong's handwriting?
