With a little brain, you can understand Zhuge Liang's intentions, his real intention in doing this is to give the eldest son Liu Qi a reassurance, after all, the army is completely stationed in Jiangxia City, Liu Qi may not be able to really rest assured, and he is bound to be wary everywhere.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both loyal fans of Liu Bei, and their tempers are not too good.
Liu Bei fully accepted this matter, for him, there is a place to settle down for the time being, that is the grace of God, and he also understands Zhuge Liang's intentions, so he repeatedly told Liu Qi on the ship that he did not have the heart to occupy Jingzhou, but because he was entrusted by his good brother Liu Biao's deathbed, he must take Jingzhou back and give it to Liu Qi.
Liu Qi, who was originally honest, really regarded Liu Bei as his own uncle, heard these heartwarming words, remembered his father who died of illness, and couldn't help hugging Liu Bei and crying again, and after crying, he said very generously, Jiangxia soldiers and horses are all at the disposal of their uncle, and we are a family.
Coupled with Liu Qi's soldiers and horses, Liu Bei's side added up to almost 40,000 troops, but compared to Cao Cao's 650,000 troops, it was still very pitiful, and he did not have the capital to fight at all.
Just as Liu Bei's fleet was about to approach Xiakou, more than a dozen warships suddenly sailed against the current on the river below, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone entered a state of combat readiness.
"Where did the ship come from?" Liu Bei hurriedly got out of the big boat and looked at the river.
"Back to the lord, look at the banner is Jiangdong Sun Quan's soldiers and horses." An adjutant general replied.
"Jiangdong killed my Huang Zu, this time he will definitely destroy his ship and die!" Liu Qi said angrily.
"Uncle Huang, I don't think there are many ships coming from them, it doesn't look like they want to fight us." Wang Baoyu came over and said, he thinks that no matter what, he should not be an enemy of Sun Quan now, after all, the alliance with Wu against Cao is clearly written in the history books.
"Baoyu is reasonable, Qi'er don't be angry, Huang Zu and Sun Quan are feuds, there is no need to mind this matter, and watch the movement of the ship, we will make plans again." Liu Bei said calmly, Liu Qi had to nod helplessly, but he glanced at Wang Baoyu fiercely, the beard on the side of his mouth didn't grow, and he dared to point fingers here, that is, his down-and-out uncle can listen to this kind of person, put it in Sun Quan or Cao Cao, this person will definitely not be a guest.
Whether Wang Baoyu is only here for Liu Bei, let's talk about it in the future, and see the warships in Jiangdong getting closer and closer, probably in order to show friendship, the soldiers on the ship did not take bows, arrows and shields, and a big ship headed by Liu Bei sailed straight to Liu Bei's big ship, and there was a middle-aged man standing on the bow, wearing a blue-gray robe, wearing a golden turban, burly, with a straight waist and back, and an extraordinary bearing.
"Is there Uncle Liu Huang on the boat ahead?" The middle-aged man shouted at this side, and his tone was polite.
"Liu Bei is here." Liu Bei replied.
"Jiangdong Lusu, come to visit Uncle Liu Huang." The middle-aged man said from afar.
Wang Baoyu grinned and whispered to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, the partner is here." ”
Through the history books, Wang Baoyu's impression of Lu Su is quite good, although each is its master, the Tao is different, but Lu Su's character is kind, and he is also a peacemaker, if he is not on both sides of it, the Sun-Liu alliance is difficult to succeed.
"Mr. Zijing, I have admired my name for a long time, and I finally met today, but I have a wish." Liu Bei smiled and hurriedly returned the salute.
Of course, Lu Su also saw Liu Qi behind Liu Bei, and was about to say hello, but Liu Qi's nose was not a nose, his face was not a face, and he flashed to the stern, Lu Su just smiled and didn't care.
The two boats approached and boarded the springboard, Lu Su calmly boarded the big boat with a smile on his face, obviously he was very confident, Liu Bei would definitely not harm him.
Liu Bei stepped forward very politely, Lu Su was also very sensational, took Liu Bei's hand and said: "I have heard the name of the emperor's uncle for a long time, and I hate to meet you, but I can see it today, the emperor's uncle is really an emperor, and his bearing is detached." ”
"Bei is a Hanchen, he knows his duty very well, and he has always taken it as his responsibility to help the Han family and hoe and eradicate evil, and Mr. Zijing has been promoted." Of course Liu Bei is not stupid, he heard that Lu Su was a temptation, what kind of imperial posture, it was clearly breaking Liu Bei's ambition to be an emperor.
"Haha, Uncle Huang is not arrogant, it is admirable, my lord Sun Zhongmou and Uncle Huang have the same ambitions." Lu Su let out a hearty laugh.
"Please!"
"Please!"
The two entered the cabin and sat down, the entourage brought wine and food, Wang Baoyu had nothing to do, and wanted to hear what they were talking about, so he stood behind Liu Bei.
Lu Su raised his eyes and saw Wang Baoyu, who didn't look like Liu Feng in terms of age, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Huang, what kind of talent is this young man?" ”
These words are purely polite, Liu Bei smiled slightly, and introduced: "This is my best man, after the famous Wang Lian, Wang Ba Wang Baoyu is also." ”
Oh! Lu Su looked surprised, and arched his hand: "I said that this young man is extraordinary, but I don't know that it is Wang Gongzi, fortunately!" Wang Lianzhi's name, Lu Su has admired it for a long time, I don't know where Ling Zun is now? ”
You don't even know where he is, so why do you talk about it for a long time? Wang Baoyu despised one in his heart, in fact, he was very reluctant to talk about this father, he was born and fostered in the Huang family, not to mention the living expenses for others, but he didn't even have a letter, if it wasn't for his sister Huang Yueying's protection, even the subordinates would look down on this kind of sending people to eat dry rice under the fence.
Isn't Wang Lian a broken county official after all, as for such a shock, the people here are really strange, and they look up to them for a long time at every turn, and they really don't know how much of them are true or false.
"Mr. Lu, I don't know where my father is now." Wang Baoyu arched his hand and did not mention that Wang Lian was a county official with Liu Zhang.
"Speaking of which, my father has had several encounters with a husband, every time he mentions it, he is full of praise, and when he sees his descendants today, he knows that he is a beautiful gentleman, and he is so lucky!" Lu Su said politely, but he didn't delve into it, why didn't his son know where his father was, in fact, it was normal at that time, years of war, separation of flesh and blood, it was not uncommon, not surprising.
Hey, his mouth is really sweet, he is worthy of being one of the outstanding diplomats in history, if this eloquence is used to fool girls, I don't know how many girls will be deceived.
"Mr. is in love, Baoyu has a dull temperament and is stubborn, if it weren't for the emperor's uncle's love and teaching, it would definitely make my father's face dull." Wang Baoyu pretended to be humble and said.
Liu Bei smiled with satisfaction, the three of them didn't mention this stubble again, Lu Su saw that Liu Bei didn't mean to take Wang Baoyu away, and he also knew that Wang Baoyu was a trustworthy figure in Liu Bei's heart.
Just complimenting each other, saying polite words that can't solve the problem, Lu Su asked the main question: "I recently heard that Uncle Huang and Cao Cao will fight, I don't know how much Cao Jun is about?" ”
