However, it was said that Liu Cong led the troops to the outside of Wuchang City, chose to camp near the mountain and water, and then issued a war letter and sent a messenger to the city, and asked Xu Sheng, the general of the Wu soldiers in the city, to prepare for it, "The two armies will fight a decisive battle outside the city the day after tomorrow." ”

After the envoy went out to deliver the letter, Liu Cong sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, talking to Deng Bao and chatting about the military situation.

At this time, Zhao Yun had already led 10,000 horses and horses, and pressed the big camp five miles east of the city to cut off the connection between Xu Sheng in the city and the Wu soldiers led by Ding Feng in the distance.

Liu Cong smiled and said to Deng Bao: "Actually, you don't need to take these steps, what kind of war book is under the order, just attack the city directly, at this time Zhao Yun has already led troops to block Ding Feng, we have no worries about attacking the city, but I don't want to do things too quickly this time, waste military strength, damage lives, as long as it is carried out slowly, the crusade against Eastern Wu will be successful." ”

Deng Bao nodded in agreement,

At this time, a report was spread outside the account, saying that Lu Su, the envoy of Eastern Wu, asked to see the lord in a letter of state.

As soon as Liu Cong heard that Lu Su was coming, he thought about it for a while, and basically understood what Lu Su meant, so he ordered to come in.

When Lu Su heard this, he disguised himself and went forward, followed by Jiang Gan and four servants,

After Lu Su entered the tent, he bowed down and saluted: "Eastern Wu Lu Su, on the order of my lord Sun Quan, came to visit Liu Cong in Jingzhou." After that, he held the national letter in both hands and dedicated it to Liu Cong,

Liu Cong took a look, only to see Jiang Gan's image obscene, his face funny, and the four servants carrying gifts behind him, all with hideous faces, just like that evil ghost, knowing that it was not a good thing, he took precautions in his heart, especially when he saw the one who took the lead, lean and thin, less than three taels of fine flesh, like a clothes rack, sharp eyes, very capable,

When Liu Cong saw it, he didn't say anything, he glanced at Liang Zhu'er obliquely, and ordered the fat man to take the letter of state, and then continued: "It is not easy for the Lu envoy to go to the envoy, and the journey is tiring, please sit down and watch the tea." ”

The guard offered tea, and Lu Su continued,

Over there, Liang Zhu'er had already leaned over to Lu Su's servants, and began to monitor the servants and count the gifts.

Here Liu Cong asked: "I heard that Zi respected the name early, like thunder, and today I was sent to come over, and I don't know what to see." ”

Lu Su said: "On the order of my lord Wu Hou, I came to meet Liu Zhizhong and conveyed Wu Hou's words. ”

"Speak, messenger."

"After my lord Wu Hou read Liu Zhizhong's "Discussion of Wu Zhuwen", I thought that what Wu Wen said was very absurd, Wu Hou never had the intention of dating Liu Zhizhong to join hands to overthrow the imperial court, let alone want to share the world equally with Liu Zhizhong.

However, Liu Zhizhong fabricated lies to show the world,

This move is very rogue, and my lord Wu Hou is very angry,

This envoy would like Liu Zhizhong to protest on this matter and ask Liu Zhizhong to explain what it would do. ”

Liu Cong laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this: "Let go of your mother's stinky fart, that son will explain to you, well, this is definitely not Lu Su's original intention, hehe, I'll tease him first and let him tell his original intention." ”

Thinking of this, he pretended to be surprised and asked: "Sun Quan secretly sent a letter to contact me to attack Xuchang, rob and kill Emperor Xian, attack Cao Cao, and then divide the world equally, doesn't Zijing know." ”

When Lu Su heard this, he was taken aback and asked, "Zijing really doesn't know, why didn't Wu Hou tell me about this." ”

When Liu Cong heard this, he knew that the honest man Lu Su had fallen into his trap, so he pretended to be angry and said: "Sun Quan sent a scout to me secretly, asking me to send troops to attack Fancheng, he sent troops to cross the river to attack Yuzhou, and then joined forces to attack Xuchang.

After robbing and killing the emperor, he attacked Cao Cao from behind, and after defeating Cao Cao, he divided the world equally.

Sun Quan also said that he had contacted Wuhuan Xianbei outside the Saiwai and dated at the same time to encircle and suppress Cao Cao.

However, it has been half a year since I sent troops to regain the lost territory, and to this day, Sun Quan has not sent a single soldier to cross the river, and I am angry about this matter, and Sun Quan has no reason to come and criticize me. ”

When the honest man Lu Su heard this, he was immediately stunned, looked up at Liu Cong, and saw Liu Cong staring at himself with two eyes, two sword eyebrows, and the sword edge was a little out of the world, as if he was going to come over and kill himself, Lu Su was frightened in his heart, and he was speechless for a while, turned his face to look at Jiang Gan, and introduced embarrassedly: "This is Jiang Ziyi, Jiang Gan, the deputy envoy of the contemptible people." ”

Jiang Gan had already introduced himself by looking at Lu Su at this time, and after listening to the introduction, he hurriedly came over and said, "Jiang Gan, the deputy envoy of Eastern Wu, meet Liu Zhizhong in Jingzhou." ”

When Liu Cong saw it, he intended to tease him, so he said: "Your deputy envoy Pingshen, as a high-ranking official of Sun Quan's confidant in Eastern Wu, you should know that Sun Quan sent an envoy to secretly contact me to send troops to attack Cao Cao in Jiangbei." ”

When Jiang Gan heard this, he immediately felt very excited, because no one had ever looked up to himself so highly.

Today, Liu Cong thinks that he is a high-ranking official of Sun Quan's confidant, can he not be excited?

So, he replied, "This?????? It's really ?????? It seems to remember, yes, yes, there is no such thing. ”

As soon as Liu Cong heard this, he knew that Jiang Gan's few things were not worth doing, so he pretended to be angry and said: "As a minister, he does not maintain consistency in thought and action with his master, and when he goes out to do things, he is at both ends of the first mouse, but what is going on, is this deceitful to the master or to deceive the other party, left and right, take it down for me, torture him strictly, and make sure that he tells the truth, in the end, did Sun Quan send someone to contact me." ”

The left and right guards shouted, "Wow." ", you have to do it,

When Jiang Gan heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand again and again: "Calm your anger in the middle of the treatment, and let me think about it." ”

Liu Cong waved his hand when he heard this, signaling the guards not to move the punishment, and let Jiang Gan speak by himself.

Jiang Gan stood there at this time frowning and thinking: "If you don't say anything when you see it, you will be punished,

Although Liu Cong won't kill me, but the two countries don't kill each other, but they don't say that they are not right to make the execution.

It was not easy to send an envoy, but the envoy did not suffer from the flesh and skin, but the deputy envoy was beaten by others and carried back to Soochow, which cannot be said to be a decent thing in any way, and how to mix in Soochow from now on. ”

Jiang Gan thought of this, so he looked at Lu Su, only to see Lu Su frowning, staring at himself, and not speaking, just nodding at himself, he didn't know what it meant, he thought that this was Lu Su allowing himself to lie, and thought: "Even if I tell a lie, Lu Su will not report it truthfully when I go back, as long as I am not punished, I will pretend to admit it." ”

Jiang Gan thought of this, so he said: "It seems that there is such a thing, but I can't remember it clearly, this ?????? Wu Hou really discussed with me, as for who to send over to deliver the letter, such a trivial matter, Wu Hou is generally embarrassed to trouble me, so who came, I really don't know. ”

As soon as Lu Su heard Jiang Gan say this, he immediately lost his concentration, he couldn't sit still, and complained about Sun Quan in his heart: "What did you do, didn't you let me go out and find a slap in the face." ”

Liu Cong laughed secretly on the side and scolded: "You two rotten people go out to take advantage of me, and you don't weigh how many catties and taels you have." Secretly scolded here, Liu Cong asked Lu Su: "Zijing has anything else to say, please speak." ”087
