Lu Su and Zhang Cheng put the wine in the wind and talked freely about the situation in the world. Sun Shao has been listening silently beside him. It was a rare learning opportunity for him to hear a general like Lu Su with a heavy army and a wise man like Zhang Cheng analyze the situation.

Maybe it is more consistent with Guan Yu's marriage and Lu Su's consistent strategy, Lu Su is very interested, and some words are already beyond the level of a courtier's ability to hear Sun Shao, but Lu Su disagreed, Zhang Cheng did not express any unhappiness, Sun Shao of course had to pretend to be confused and pretend not to hear it.

"It's a good thing to get married, but it's not easy." Lu Su's face was a little flushed, and he didn't know if he was drinking or tired, he put down the wine glass in his hand and sighed: "Guan Yu has both civil and military skills, and he is a masterpiece of a generation, but his surname is Huqian (proud), and he despises the scholar, so it is not easy for the heir to go." ”

After Zhang Cheng was reminded by Sun Shao, he had been prepared for difficulties, and now when he heard Lu Su say this, he didn't dare to let it go at will, immediately put down the wine glass, and said earnestly: "Please teach me the general." ”

The corners of Lu Su's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Sun Shao quietly, but saw Sun Shao looking at him with a sinking face, with a faint smile on his face, not only without urgency, but also seemed to listen attentively. Lu Su was very satisfied, but he didn't pay too much attention, in his opinion, the main responsibility for this mission lies with Zhang Cheng, Sun Shao is just a deputy envoy, whether it succeeds or not, it has nothing to do with him.

From Lu Su's heart, he hoped that this proposal would be successful. Last time, he advocated the marriage of Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei, which was originally going well, although the two sides had disputes from time to time, but on the whole they were still peace-oriented. It's a pity that Liu Bei later cheated on his allies in order to take Xishu, which angered Sun Quan, recalled Sun Shangxiang and prepared to do something to Liu Bei. Of course, this matter is that Liu Bei did not do it right, but Liu Bei took Xishu, and the forces of the two sides have changed, Liu Bei is no longer the left general who looks up to people, but the lord of Yizhou, and occupies the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Although Guan Yu is arrogant, his loyalty to Liu Bei is visible in the moon. Moreover, as a general and the commander-in-chief Jing Xiang, he can't casually marry my Jiangdong, otherwise he will be suspected of collaborating with the enemy. Su thinks that whether it is successful or not, I am afraid that the key is not in Guan Yu, but in Liu Bei. ”

Zhang Cheng smiled, he also thought of this trick, and nodded sympathetically: "What the general said is very true, then should I go to Chengdu first to meet General Zuo?" ”

Lu Su saw that Zhang Cheng agreed with his opinion, and also smiled: "This thing should have been done in the first place, otherwise how could it be done?" If we don't go to see General Zuo, can we let Guan Yu take the initiative to mention it to General Zuo? ”

Zhang Cheng smiled and didn't say anything. Lu Su had soldiers in hand, and he had the confidence to accuse Sun Quan of acting inappropriately, but he Zhang Cheng did not.

"However, even if General Zuo agrees, Guan Yu's consent will be sought in the end." Lu Su clenched his fists, coughed lightly twice to his mouth, pondered for a moment, and then showed some sadness: "Guan Yu and Liu Bei are called monarchs, they really have the righteousness of brothers, and Guan Yu's daughter is indeed an outstanding woman, if you want Guan Yu to marry her daughter to the son, not only Guan Yu is unwilling, but I am afraid that Liu Bei will also be unwilling." When Zhong Hei went, in addition to affirming the supreme's good intentions to Liu Bei, he also had to seek the help of General Zuo's advisers. ”

Zhang Cheng hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Please give the general advice." ”

Lu Su raised his head slightly, looking at the cloudless sky, the mighty river wind blew his turban, blowing a few locks of hair on his sideburns dancing in the wind, one of the silver filaments was very eye-catching by the sun, Sun Shao narrowed his eyes, very emotional. Lu Su garrisoned Lukou with 10,000 soldiers, protecting the west gate of Jiangdong, and the pressure was really not small.

"Now there are a few people around General Zuo, you have to pay attention." Lu Su said slowly: "General Yangwu is upright, resourceful and decisive, and has gone out with the army many times, and General Zuo obeys his words. If the middle heir can make a statement to General Zuo through him, then this matter can be done. ”

Zhang Cheng nodded and memorized the name attentively. Sun Shao was a little surprised, he thought that Lu Su was going to say Zhuge Liang, but he didn't expect it to be true. Fa is Liu Bei's cronies, and he also knows it, but his favor is more than Zhuge Liang, which he never expected.

"When the law is right, it is Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei, like Guan Yu, is Liu Bei's most trusted person, and in addition to monarchs and ministers, there is still brotherhood. If he agrees with the peace and proximity, General Zuo will also consider one or two things to some extent. Lu Su continued unhurriedly: "Compared with Guan Yu, although Zhang Fei is rude, he respects the scholar doctor, and the middle heir is highly talented, so it should not be difficult to approach him. He glanced at Sun Shao, and said half-jokingly: "Zhang Fei is good wine, if the captain gives him two new jars of wine, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort." ”

Sun Shaoru woke up from a dream, patted his head and said with a smile: "The general's words woke up the dreamer, I am young and careless, but I really didn't expect this layer, I will immediately send someone to do it." ”

Lu Su nodded, and continued: "Except for these two people, even Zhuge Kongming. Kong Ming has a strategy and has seen people, he should agree with this move, but ......" Lu Su obviously hesitated, and seemed to be a little worried: "He is now a military general, in charge of General Zuo's affairs, and he also has a lot of influence on General Zuo." ”

Zhang Cheng also hesitated, and said with some shame: "What the general said is very true. It's just that I was in a hurry and thought about it superficially, but I didn't think about it so much. If this matter is early, you should ask Zhuge Jin for a book before leaving, but now ......"

Zhang Cheng didn't think so much before he set off, he didn't think that things would be so complicated, and now that Lu Su reminded him, he did regret it a little. In fact, asking Zhuge Jin for a book is the second thing, because Zhuge Jin's brother is cautious, Sun Quan does not nod, he will not write a letter to Zhuge Liang, Zhang Cheng said this, the real intention is to ask Lu Su to write a letter to Zhuge Liang. Back then, Sun and Liu joined forces, and Lu Su and Zhuge Liang formed a deep friendship. It's just that he was afraid that Lu Su would worry about Sun Quan's suspicion, so it was not good to make a request directly.

Lu Su was a bosom friend, he stroked his beard and smiled, waved his hand, and asked Lin Zhi to take the pen and ink and the book, pondered for a while, wrote a handbook, and handed it to Zhang Cheng: "I have some friendship with Kong Ming, you bring this letter, maybe it can have some effect." ”

Zhang Cheng was grateful, and hurriedly took it, looked at it carefully, and then handed it to Shangguan Xuefei behind him to put it away.

The guests and hosts were happy, Lin Zhidai Lu Su sent Zhang Cheng and Sun Shao back to the boat, and was about to say goodbye, when Sun Shao asked people to stop him and asked him to wait outside. Zhang Chengzheng was puzzled, but saw Sun Shao take the pen and ink in his hand, spread out a piece of silk, skillfully drew a picture of a person sitting cross-legged on it, and then wrote a few lines of words next to him with his small block that was already quite famous in Jianye, and then handed it to Zhang Cheng with both hands.

"Brother Zhong, I think that although Lu Hengjiang is angry, he works hard for the country, but his health is not good. You give him this method of sitting and forgetting and ask him to practice it, and in time, it may be good for his body. ”

Zhang Cheng came over to take a look, and his brows furrowed: "The immortal family's sitting and forgetting technique? ”

"Exactly." Sun Shao knew that Zhang Cheng was an authentic Confucian student, and he didn't believe in these of the immortal family, but he was confident, you must know that Lu Su's current situation was not because of illness or pain, but because of fatigue, meditation should be effective for him, even if he can't live forever, but it should be okay to delay his life for a few years. Lu Su tends to join Liu to resist Cao, but Lü Meng is not, once Lu Su dies and Lü Meng takes over the defense of the Western Front, then the strategy of joining Liu to fight Cao will inevitably change, since he is here, of course, he hopes to let Lu Su live a few more days. Seeing that Zhang Cheng didn't think so, he hurriedly added: "This is what I got from Ge Xianweng, and I have personally tested it, and it has worked wonders." ”

Zhang Cheng listened, but he didn't dare to deny it completely, firstly, Ge Xianweng's name was indeed well-known, and secondly, since Sun Shao said that he had tried it himself, it might really be useful. He had the same idea as Sun Shao, it would be good for Lu Su to live a few more years. He glanced at Sun Shao and said with a smile: "In that case, why don't Feng Xian hand it over to General Hengjiang himself, and let me come forward?" ”

Sun Shao didn't hide it, and smiled very calmly: "It's not that you don't know my situation, at the moment, I don't dare to do such a thing as saving my life." If it weren't for General Yokoe's concern for my major policy in Jiangdong, I wouldn't have caused this trouble. ”

Zhang Cheng thought for a while, walked out with the silk book, and said to Lin Zhi according to Sun Shao's words. When Lin Zhi heard that it was Ge Xuan's method of sitting and forgetting, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, and happily held the silk book.

Looking at Lin Zhi's back, Zhang Cheng shook his head with a smile, and went back to the cabin, handwriting a letter to send to Jianye. He is going to Chengdu now, and he must first file with Sun Quan, so as not to be unclear in the future. At the same time, he also told Lu Su about writing a letter to Zhuge Liang, and briefly described the content of the letter, so that Sun Quan could know. At the same time, Sun Shao also wrote a letter for people to bring wine, and handed it to a soldier to send back to Jianye.
