Fang Shao finally came to this astonishing conclusion, whether it was Liu Bei, or the two military advisors of Wolong and Fengxiao, they were all shocked.

It's just that ordinary people will only stubbornly think from the perspective of the ordinary, while the thinking of the great wise is much more open, and it is easier to accept fresh ideas.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and the three of them seemed to be still digesting Fang Shao's words.

After a while, Pang Tong was the first to understand, and patted the case: "Okay, you Fang Zhongzheng, I thought about it carefully, what you said really means a little bit, not bad, the purpose of this Fa Zheng may really be to offer benefits to the lord." ”

Zhuge Liang also said: "If this is the case, then the lord must not neglect this Fazheng, whether he really has this intention or not, he must also entertain him well, and let the sergeant of Shu see the corporal of the lord's courtesy, so as to win the prestige of Shu in the future." ”

Liu Bei nodded and said: "This is not difficult, since Fa Xiaozhi is a virtuous person, no matter what his intentions are, he should also be courteous." ”

As soon as a cadre discussed here to sugarcoat Fa Zheng, another attendant came to report that Lu Su, the governor of Eastern Wu, had arrived in Jiangling and asked to visit the state pastor.

Liu Bei's face was suspicious again, and he said: "Why did Lu Zijing come to Jingzhou at this time, I don't know what his purpose is here?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "Zijing came in person this time, presumably for the last time when the two families almost met each other, I expected that he must have been complained by Wu Hou, so he had to come to ask for Jingzhou." ”

Liu Bei's face sank, and said: "Sun Quan's intentions are sinister, he just borrowed Jingzhou and wanted to ask for it back, he didn't care about the alliance at all, I didn't send someone to hold Sun Quan accountable for the last time, he dared to send Zijing to ask for it openly, it's really unreasonable, this Lu Zijing can't see it." ”

Fang Shao persuaded: "The lord is angry, if we turn against Jiangdong at this time, if we send troops to take Shu at that time, we must leave heavy troops to defend the east, which is not conducive to the overall situation." Since Lu Zijing came in person, it shows that Sun Quan still has a friendly attitude, so he should try his best to maintain this alliance. ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "What Zhongzheng said is reasonable, it is better for the lord and Shiyuan to summon Fazheng, Lu Zijing in this regard, Liang and Zhongzheng will deal with it." ”

Liu Bei thought about it and felt reasonable, so he said: "Okay, according to what the military advisor said, but all in all, it is absolutely impossible for Zijing to claim back Jingzhou, and I will not give up an inch of land." ”

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Don't worry, the lord has his own measure." ”

So, the three of them acted separately, and said that Fang Shao was here, and after the meeting ended, he and Zhuge Liang went to the pavilion to see Lu Su, and the Fa Zheng from Yizhou was naturally invited to a mansion dedicated to entertaining him a moment earlier.

"Zijing, I haven't seen you for a long time, you are becoming more and more energetic." Zhuge Liang's feet hadn't crossed the threshold yet, so he slapped Lu Su's ass with a smile.

As soon as Lu Su saw Zhuge Liang and Fang Shao appear, his expression suddenly perked, and he got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "It's been a long time, Mr. Kong Ming, I am worried about the reconciliation of the alliance between Liu and Sun every night, where can I get up." ”

Zhuge Liang and Fang Shaowei returned the salute and exchanged glances, and the two of them had already heard Lu Su's words as soon as they opened their mouths.

The host and guest sat down, and Zhuge Liang followed his words first: "Zijing is a little tired, but the lord and Liang's son are not having an easy time, Cao Jun stationed in Xiangyang in the north has always been eyeing Nanjun, and we are worried about this night, but I am afraid that it is not much better than Zijing." ”

Lu Su smiled and said: "That's also, Liu Yuanjun resisted the pressure from the west, of course my lord knows, but in Hefei, Cao Ying always wants to make some moves, and the pressure shared by Jiangdong in the east is not small." ”

The two of them were showing their own merits, and Fang Shao started to be a peacemaker from it, and said: "Therefore, the Cao thief is strong, and the two families of our alliance can only work together, my lord guards the west, and Wu Hou Yudong, so that Fang can resist the invasion of the Cao thief, and General Lu said yes or no." ”

Lu Su was recommended by Zhou Yu before his death, and was appointed by Sun Quan as the general of Hanchang Taishou and Bi, took over Zhou Yu's troops, stationed troops in Lukou, and became the highest military commander of the Western Front of Eastern Wu, so Fang Shao called him General Lu. As for the Hanchang County, that is, the three counties in the north of Changsha, it was set up as Hanchang County by Soochow not long ago, with Lusu as the Taishou, and it is also the food of Lusu.

Of course, Lu Su couldn't say that Fang Shao's words were wrong, so he had to say: "What Fang Zhen said is extremely true, my family Wu Hou also focuses on the overall situation, and he generously lent the five counties of Jingnan to Liu Yuanjun before. Now that the east has been consolidated, it is difficult for Cao Ying to do anything for a while, and my Eastern Wu has been able to free up surplus troops to share the worries of Liu Yuanjun, so my family Wu Hou is embarrassed to continue to let Liu Yuanjun withstand such great pressure in the west, so Ling Su came to discuss the return of Nanjun, and my Eastern Wu will resist the pressure of Cao's army in the west, and Liu Yuanjun will sit in the four southern counties as a backup, so the western front can be impregnable. ”

Lu Su sprinkled some words, and even came up with an excuse to share his worries for Liu Bei to return Nanjun, and he could think of it, Fang Shao almost laughed out loud, thinking that it was really difficult for Lu Su.

Zhuge Liang estimated that he was also holding back a laugh, he coughed lightly a few times to ease the laughter, and then said: "Well, since the Liu and Sun families are an alliance, they are one family, what is there to be embarrassed about in the family, Wu Hou is too outside." Moreover, my lord has been quite effective in raising soldiers in Nanjun this year, and he has been attached to the hearts of the people, and the soldiers have used their lives, although the north attack Cao Ying has more than enough strength and insufficient strength, but self-defense is still not a problem, so he should take more responsibilities, and he will not waste grain and grass in Wuhou. ”

Lu Su wanted to go back to Nanjun at first, but he gave Zhuge Liang a few words to go back, he pondered for a moment, and then changed his words: "Mr. Kong Ming is right." It's just that Su heard that there have been many rebellions in the four southern counties, and it is expected that Liu Yuanjun is focused on Jiangxia and Nanjun on the first line of the north imperial Cao Ying, and has no time to separate to the south. That being the case, if I, Dongwu, take over the four southern counties, it will just allow Liu Zhijun to worry about the future and concentrate on governing the southern counties and Jiangxia. ”

Lu Su saw that he couldn't get Nanjun, so he started the idea of the four southern counties again, although the four southern counties were not even as important as half of the southern county, but this was easy for Liu Bei to get from Sun Quan, and even used Jiaozhou to make a potential deal, so let alone four counties, even if it was a small county below, how could Liu Bei give it to Sun Quan.

At that moment, Zhuge Liang glanced at Fang Shao and signaled that it was time for you to play.

Fang Shao cleared his throat and said: "General Lu is too worried, the four southern counties can't be called a rebellion at all, at most it's just a small fight with a few people who don't know how to rely on it, we can easily calm down by transferring some people, and by the way, we can also exercise the actual combat ability of the soldiers, in fact, it is a good thing, and it is not a matter of worrying about Wu Hou at all." ”

Fang Shao's reason was very nonsensical, Zhuge Liang almost laughed out loud when he heard it, even Lu Su felt a little funny, and couldn't help but hey twice, but, knowing that the other party was fooling him casually, Lu Su was helpless.

Lu Su was fooled by the two masters and apprentices singing and singing for a long time, and he couldn't get the upper hand in theory, so he had to turn his expression into depression, and sighed: "Actually, I don't hide it from the two, Liu Yuanjun's difficulties Su also knows, otherwise I wouldn't have tried my best to persuade Wu Hou to lend Jingnan to Liu Yuanjun." It's just that now Wu Hou is urging me to take Jing Nan back, and I am very embarrassed to be caught in the middle, and I hope that Liu Yuanjun can consider Su's situation. ”

Lu Su played the emotional card, Zhuge Liang's eyes rolled, and he sighed, and said: "Zijing is kind to us, and General Zuo often thinks about it, General Zuo often tells us that we must find a new place to live as soon as possible, and return this Jingnan to Dongwu, so as not to be embarrassed by Zijing." ”

When Lu Su heard this, his spirit suddenly perked up, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, since we are a family, we should be considerate of each other, Su also often told Wu Hou that Liu Yuanjun is a trustworthy gentleman, since he promised that once he opened up a new territory, he would return Jingnan, that is a word, and he will never regret it." ”

Fang Shao followed: "Since this is the case, then please wait patiently for Wu Hou for some time, we will definitely return this Jingnan, but it will take some time." ”

Lu Su said: "Wu Hou is actually also for Liu Yuanjun's sake, before Liu Zhijun said that he would return Yizhou to Jingzhou, but there was no movement for a long time, my Wu Hou thought that Liu Yuanjun was worried that his strength was not enough, so he proposed a plan to take Yizhou, in fact, the original intention was to help Liu Yuanjun open up a place to stay, but there may be less communication between the two sides, so there was some misunderstanding in the middle." ”

Lu Su's words were not only to find a suitable excuse for the hostile behavior of the Wu army before, but also to complain that Liu Bei had not taken actual action, which was a deliberate delay.

Of course, Zhuge Liang knew what he meant, so he sighed: "Wu Hou's intentions, how can General Zuo not know, it's just that Liu Zhang is his brother of the same clan, and he openly went to seize his inheritance, and with General Zuo's benevolent surname, it is naturally difficult to start." No, General Zuo has also been anxious and sad about this matter in the past few days, and his health is not good, otherwise he would not have ordered me to come and call Zijing. ”

Lu Su persuaded: "Liu Yuanjun should pay more attention to his body, as for the matter of Yizhou, with all due respect, if Liu Yuanjun is more obsessed with benevolence and righteousness, sooner or later Yizhou will be preempted by others, and then Yizhou will not fall into the hands of others, rather than this, it is better to let Liu Yuanjun, the same sect, take over." ”

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "Zijing's words are reasonable, Zijing can rest assured, we will knock on the side and persuade the lord to go to Yizhou." As for Wu Hou's side, I also hope that Zijing will persuade him more with the overall situation, don't be too urgent, only ask Wu Hou to put a hundred hearts, as long as we take Yizhou, we will return the five counties of Jingnan immediately, and we will never break our promise. ”

Zhuge Liang had red lips and white teeth, swearing to the sky, sitting in such a precarious position, swearing that even Fang Shao almost believed it.

Now, what can Lu Su do, he has to sigh in his heart: "It's only like this, go back and give Wu Hou an explanation." Let Liu Bei drag it, if he really returns Jingzhou, I'm afraid that I won't have the capital to gain a foothold in Jiangdong. ”
