Liu Bei was about to give the order to escape, but at this time, Zhuge Liang said: "Don't panic, the lord doesn't panic, it may not be Cao Jun in my opinion." If the Cao army is determined to drive us to the end, Nagasaka will chase after us in the first battle, so why bother to ambush a team of men here. ”

Liu Bei may have been a little mentally disturbed because of the pain of losing his son, but when he heard Zhuge Liang say it, his heart calmed down and said: "What the military advisor said is reasonable, Yide, Zilong, and wait to talk about it." ”

So, Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun led less than 20 soldiers, and lined up in two rows, one of them with a spear and one with a gun in the front, looking ready to fight to the death.

The people who came quickly approached, and when they looked at it from a distance, it was just a few horsemen and horses, more than 20 soldiers, and it didn't look like Cao Jun's uniform.

At this time, Yi Yi came to Liu Bei's side and said with a happy face: "Lord, it's the people from Jiangdong who came, isn't the person at the front Lu Zijing?" ”

"Is it really Lu Su? What is he doing here? Liu Bei said confusedly, but his words were obviously much more relaxed.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, and said: "Now that the Cao army is going south, Jiangdong must also hear about it, if the Cao thief wins Jingzhou, the next target must be Jiangdong, Sun Quan is a smart man, he must know that he can stop it with his own strength, and only by uniting with the lord can he resist the Cao army. ”

Liu Bei looked excited, and said: "If Sun Quan really has this intention, it will be of great benefit to us, if Lu Su comes to talk about the union, I will promise him." ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Lianwu to fight Cao is the general strategy set by Liang for the lord. However, the lord will meet with Lu Su, but don't take the initiative, otherwise, it will make Sun Quan think that the lord is asking for him, even if an alliance is formed, we will be very passive. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have my own opinions." ”

As soon as the conversation between the two of them ended, the people and horses facing Jiangdong were already galloping close, and one of them shouted on the horse: "May I ask if this is Liu Yuzhou's team?" ”

That man looked dignified, his voice was like a bell, and he was dressed in soap, quite a gentleman's style.

Seeing this, Liu Bei drove his horse to the front of the array, and also returned the salute, saying, "It's Liu Bei, I don't know the name of the high surname?" ”

The man looked relieved, and said busily: "In Lusu, Xiajiangdong, I came to Jingzhou to mourn on the order of my lord, and visited the envoy by the way, but I didn't want to meet here, I don't know if I can get off the horse and talk a few words." ”

Now that Lu Su had identified himself, Liu Bei had no scruples, and both of them dismounted, put their men aside, and found a shady place to sit down and talk.

After a few polite words, Liu Bei sighed: "Mr. is only afraid that he is one step late, and now Liu Cong has returned to Cao Ying, and he is not willing to surrender to Cao, and he will not fight the enemy and retreat here." This funeral trip, I'm afraid that Mr. will not be able to make it. ”

Lu Su didn't pretend to be surprised, but smiled faintly and said, "In that case, I don't know where the envoy plans to go next?" ”

Liu Bei didn't think he would ask so directly, so he sighed and said, "I have a little friendship with Cangwu Taishou Wu Ju, and I am planning to go to him this time." ”

When Lu Su heard this, he frowned and said, "How can you go to Wu Ju?" Wu Ju is just a mediocre person, and besides, Cangwu is in a remote place, and it is only a matter of time before he is annexed, so what can you do to make you take refuge in such people. ”

Listening to Lu Su's words, Liu Bei had some bottom in his heart, but at the moment he only looked helpless, and said: "Although Cangwu is remote, it is always a place to stay, otherwise where else can I go." ”

Liu Bei's words obviously ignored Sun Quan.

Lu Su immediately said: "My general Sun is smart and benevolent, respectful of the virtuous and virtuous, and the heroes and heroes of Jiangdong are all attributed to him. I thought that if the envoy had great ambitions, it would be better to send a confidant to follow me back to Jiangdong, and the two sides would reach an alliance to achieve a great cause together. ”

This Lu Su was born as a businessman, but he was quick to speak, and he went straight to the point in a few words.

Liu Bei then looked at Zhuge Liang, who was not far away, Zhuge Liang could hear Lu Su's words, and when he nodded slightly, Liu Bei said: "Since General Sun has this sincerity, how can he be unwilling." ”

After finalizing the big event, Lu Su was naturally happy, but seeing that Liu Bei saw Kong Ming before making this decision, he expected Kong Ming's weight in Liu Bei's army, Lu Su immediately bowed to Zhuge Liang, and said with a smile: "I am friends with Brother Ling, this time Mr. can go to Jiangdong with me to discuss the specific matters of the alliance, and I can also meet my brother by the way." ”

Zhuge Liang was not in a hurry, and only smiled slightly: "Brother Zijing is chivalrous and Confucian, and Liang has already heard of it." As for whether Liang goes to Jiangdong or not, he has to listen to the arrangement of my family envoy. This is not a place to stay for a long time, Zijing might as well go to Hanjin with me to meet the water master first, and then discuss it in the long run when he goes to Jiangxia. ”

The conversation between the two sides ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and then Lu Su and his entourage went to Hanjin with Liu Bei, and did not dare to stay for a long time along the way, running around for a long time, and finally came to Hanjin before the sun set.

At this time, dozens of warships have been moored at the ferry, and there are hundreds of large and small warships moored on the nearby river.

Seeing their own sailors, everyone's hanging heart finally let go, that is, they slowed down their steps, dragged their tired body and mind, and slowly walked into the ferry wharf.

At this time, Guan Yu heard that Liu Bei led the crowd to come, and he was anxious to lead the sailors to come to greet him, and when he looked at Liu Bei's face from afar, Guan Yu strode up and shouted excitedly: "Brother, you have finally returned safely, I can't hear from you these days, and I am about to die." ”

Liu Bei didn't wait for Guan Yu to bow down, so he helped him up, patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "I almost didn't have my life to see you, fortunately, there is no danger, but without your sister-in-law and little nephew, alas, it's okay not to mention it, don't mention it." ”

In the end, they are like brothers, in front of Guan Yu, Liu Bei revealed the pain of losing his son and wife, everyone felt the same way, and everyone looked sad.

Zhang Fei complained to himself: "It's me who is useless, I can't save my sister-in-law and little nephew." ”

And Zhao Yun was even more ashamed: "It's not about Yide, I was ordered by the lord to protect my wife and little son, but I failed to keep them safe, it's all my fault." ”

Seeing the two of them blaming themselves like this, Liu Bei reluctantly smiled and said, "I said earlier, this is the will of heaven, no wonder anyone." If we can get here safely, it will be a big victory, and we should drink and celebrate tonight, Yun Chang, you can arrange it well. ”

Guan Yu didn't mean to be sentimental, on the contrary, there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he smiled at the moment: "Okay, I'll arrange it." It was a feast of celebration, and the foolish brother happened to have a big congratulatory gift for his brother. ”

Liu Bei was stunned: "Congratulatory gift, what congratulatory gift?" ”

"Brother, come with me, the congratulatory gift is on the ship." Guan Yu took Liu Bei onto a big ship, pushed the door of the cabin, and said, "It's inside, brother, please see it yourself." ”

Liu Bei looked confused, and immediately walked into the cabin, and when he saw the familiar face and the sleeping baby in her arms, he almost jumped up with excitement.
