Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "Lianwu to fight Cao is the general strategy set by Liang for the lord. Although the person who came was Liangzhi's brother, but the lord should not take the initiative when he saw him, otherwise, it would make Sun Ce think that the lord had a request for him, even if an alliance was formed, our army could only be in a subordinate position, and I am afraid that it would be reduced to the situation of the scholar's family."

Liu Bei nodded and said, "The military advisor can rest assured that he has his own opinions." ”

As soon as the conversation between the two of them ended, the ship facing Jiangdong was already approaching, and a few people came down after the Dongwu Navy took the sail board off the ship.

"But Liu Yuanjun?" The person who spoke was dignified, his voice was like a bell, and he was dressed in a soapy coat, which was quite gentlemanly. If you look closely, it is similar to Zhuge Liang for seven points.

Seeing this, Liu Bei also walked quickly to the side of the boat, bowed back, and said, "It's Liu Bei, I don't know the name of the high surname?" "Garlic, red fruit garlic, even if Zhuge Liang doesn't say it, just by looking at his appearance, as long as he is not an idiot, he will know that this person must have something to do with Zhuge Liang.

The man looked relieved, and said busily: "Zhuge Jin in Xiajiangdong, I came to Jingzhou to mourn at the order of my lord, and visited the envoy by the way, but I didn't want to meet here." ”

Now that Zhuge Jin has identified himself, Liu Bei no longer has any scruples, so he wants to introduce Zhuge Jin into the cabin to talk in detail. At this time, another person flashed out behind Zhuge Jin, with a loyal face. He saluted Liu Bei first and said, "Su has seen Liu Yuanjun. "The person who came was Lu Su, the general of the Eastern Wu Army, it turned out that Zhuge Jin was originally a subordinate of Zhou Yu, He He would get Sun Ce's order to mourn, but Lu Su came from Jianye and first went to the Jiangxia army to see Zhou Yu. And Zhou Yu was afraid that Liu Bei would not know Lu Su, so he deliberately asked Zhuge Jin to introduce him on his behalf.

"It turned out to be General Zijing." Liu Bei said with a smile, knowing in his heart that the person who was coming to talk about things was probably this seemingly loyal Lu Zijing.

Liu Bei ushered the two into the cabin, while Liu Bei's boat, escorted by several ships from Eastern Wu, advanced towards Hanyang. After a few polite words, Liu Bei sighed: "Mr. Zijing is only afraid that he is a step late, and now Liu Cong has returned to Cao Ying, and he is unwilling to surrender to Cao, and he will retreat here without the enemy." This funeral trip, I'm afraid that Mr. will not be able to make it. "As for the fact that the Sun and Liu families are feuding, Lu Su's visit to Liu Biao is just an excuse, and everyone chooses to forget.

Lu Su didn't pretend to be surprised, but smiled faintly and said, "Since that's the case, I don't know what Liu Yuzhou's plans are."

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." "Cangwu County is far away in Jiaozhou, and it is a force other than the Jiaozhou Mu Zhu Zhi and the Shi family.

When Lu Su heard this, he frowned and said, "How could the envoy think of going to Wu Ju?" Wu Ju is just a mediocre person, and Cangwu is in a remote place, and he is ・・・・・. "And after that, sooner or later it will be swallowed by my Dongwu.

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 Bei go?" ”

Liu Bei's words obviously ignored Sun Ce.

At this time, Lu Su was no longer sloppy, and got up and 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 and jointly conquer Cao Ying, so as to achieve great things. ”

And Xu Shu, who was behind Liu Bei, also said at this time: "General Lu's words are also reasonable. I don't know if Wu Hou can be sincere, you must know that Cao Ying is powerful, and he is going south with an army of 800,000, and Wu Hou can have the confidence to resist. ”

Lu Su laughed when he heard this: "If my lord is not sincere, why did he come here?" Besides, Cao Ying is known as an army of 800,000, but there is the Gongsun clan in the east and the Ma family in the west, how can he not send people to garrison it. In the past, it was said that Cao Yingguandu was fashionable and only had 30,000 soldiers who could fight, but now although he wins, it is expected to be only 1120,000, even if he wins Jingzhou. At most, there are only 200,000 horses. Although my Jiangdong is located in a remote area, but the talent is prosperous, my lord Wu Hou will have 100,000 soldiers, sitting in Jianye to deter all directions, and the metropolitan governor Zhou Yu will bring 50,000 sailors to Jiangxia. Although Cao Ying is powerful, what are we afraid of? I don't know if Liu Yuzhou has the determination to resist Cao. ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang stood up and said: "My lord is a member of the Han family, the uncle of the emperor of heaven. With an edict and begging for thieves, supporting the Son of Heaven and rebelling. Cao Ying's name is Han Xiang, but he is actually a Han thief, and everyone who is a big Han official can be punished, not to mention my lord's royal nobles, and he is in the same boat. Zhuge Liang's remarks were impassioned, and he deserved to be a guy who could speak and fight the Confucianism in later generations.

Liu Bei listened to Zhuge Liang's careless words and said: "Although Bei is not talented, General Sun has this sincerity, how dare he disobey." ”

Lu Su had already heard Zhuge Jin talk about Zhuge Liang on the road, and when he saw Liu Bei's actions again, he already knew Zhuge Kongming's status in Liu Bei's heart, and said: "Ziyu wants to return to Jiangxia, but I and Ziyu are close friends." This time, Mr. can go to CCB with me to discuss specific matters. ”

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, I have to listen to the arrangement of my father-in-law. 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. "However, Rao is Zhuge Liang is thick-skinned and must not be slightly red, because now Liu Bei's ship is advancing under the escort of Zhuge Jin's building ship.

After that, Zhuge Jin returned to Jiangxia with the navy, leaving only Lu Su and Liu Bei and others. As for the Jiangxia in Zhuge Liang's mouth, he refers to Jiangxia County in Jingzhou, that is, Hanyang.

Lu Su and his entourage went to Hanjin with Liu Bei, and they didn't dare to stay for a long time along the way, and they ran 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 his own sailor, Liu Bei's hanging heart finally let go, and he slowed down his pace, dragged his tired body and mind, and slowly walked into the ferry terminal.

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." ”

"Hey!" Liu Bei sighed and said: "I am also a life of nine deaths, if it weren't for the desperate help of all the soldiers, I am afraid it would be difficult to get here." How can you prepare for what virtue, with the help of all the talents, the soldiers will serve to death. As he spoke, he bowed and bowed.

For a while, everyone present was terrified, and they didn't dare to say anything. And Lu Su, who had not yet gotten off the boat, happened to see this scene of the monarch and the ministers knowing each other. "What a Liu Bei, no wonder he can die in repeated defeats!"
