Chapter 50: Going to the Meeting Alone (2)
As the advocate of the alliance, Lu Su's role in the Sun-Liu Alliance is actually quite large, and from the information that Fan Xian knows, it is because of Lu Su that he resolved the imminent war between Sun and Liu and urged peace negotiations.
It can be said that with Lu Su here, this mission is obviously achievable, Liu Bei is now repeatedly untrustworthy, and he is unwilling to return Jingzhou, and the crux of the period is likely to be that there is some gap between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei?
Zhuge Liang once said in Longzhong that Jingzhou was connected to Wuhui in the east and the importance of Bashu in the west, but now Liu Bei let Guan Yu, who was not good at governance, guard Jingzhou, but instead transferred Zhuge Liang to Shu, and the strategists he brought with him over the years were also dominated by Pang Tong and Fazheng.
Now the bag left behind said that waiting for Fan Xian to hand over this clear signal, the original promise of Fan Xian's help to advocate the return of Jingzhou must be in Zhuge Liang's consideration, I am afraid that the current resistance is from Liu Bei, so Fan Xian nodded and said: "As long as Liu Bei is convinced, Jingzhou can naturally be determined!"
"Once there is a battle, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ask for it!" Lu Su frowned.
"Liu Bei is not stupid, now that Cao Jun is eyeing him, and he has abandoned his faith in the past, where is there any virtue to annex Jingzhou again!" Fan Xian smiled, Liu Xuande has always claimed to be righteous and virtuous, and he must be willing to give in at this juncture.
As the two spoke, the sun gradually set in the west, and at nightfall, the carriage arrived at the camp in Yiyang.
Some time ago, Lu Meng led his troops to occupy the three counties in the south of Jingzhou, and before he could settle down, he heard that Liu Bei rushed back to Jingzhou, and then Guan Yu's army wanted to come over to recapture these three counties, and the place that must be passed through was Yiyang, so Sun Quan asked Lu Su to quickly deploy troops in Yiyang to intercept Guan Yu.
After Lu Su returned to the camp, he immediately revised a letter and sent an envoy to Guan Yu's tent, expressing his willingness to negotiate.
Originally, Fan Xian wanted to say that he would go directly to the camp where Guan Yu was stationed with the two of them, but Lu Su said that it was not appropriate to act rashly now, and the two armies would go into battle tomorrow, and it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no accidents in the past now, so he simply waited for Guan Yu to reply tomorrow.
"Fan Xian?"
Guan Yu looked at the name mentioned in Lu Su's letter, and remembered some things that Zhuge Liang had confessed, saying that as long as Fan Yizhi came, he must not fight with Dongwu, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, and Liu Bei had also instructed him before he came, try not to have casualties, and then saw Lu Su said in his heart that he proposed to park the soldiers and horses a hundred steps away tomorrow, and then when the generals met and negotiated with each other, he immediately decided to go to the meeting.
Regarding the name Fan Xian, Guan Yu has heard it many times, it is said that when he was in Changban Slope, Fan Xian and Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang saved Zhao Zilong, and then singled out Zhang Fei with a brick, and finally used unbelievable means to blow up Dangyang Bridge.
In the Battle of Chibi, when the grass boat borrowed arrows and borrowed the east wind to burn the company camp, Zhuge Liang said that Fan Xian also played a key role.
It can be said that in the mouths of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang, Fan Xian is a god with unpredictable means, and the most important thing is that the reason why Sun Shangxiang is in Jingzhou and let Zhao Yun protect him is that Zhuge Liang was entrusted by Fan Xian to have the plan of 'losing his wife and breaking his army' back then.
Although I don't know if Lu Su is playing tricks, Guan Yu is also worried that if Fan Xian really comes, I am afraid that there will be a change, so he also asked people to repair the book and return it to Lu Su, and by the time Lu Su received Guan Yu's reply, it was already late at night.
Early the next morning, the two armies directly led the leading troops to set up a formation, each facing each other at a distance of 100 paces.
Fan Xian is the first time to experience this formation, behind him and on the opposite side are a group of soldiers with black pressure, one by one fully armed with spears in array, fluttering flags, and the leader of the opposite camp is a red-faced and beautiful man with a nine-foot man, who looks majestic and extraordinary.
Lu Su saw Guan Yu riding out of the column with the left and right people, so he said to Fan Xian: "Mr. Yizhi, please!"
Fan Xian nodded, and also rode a docile horse next to Lu Su and slowly paced over.
Guan Yu couldn't help but feel apprehensive when he saw Fan Xian beside Lu Su, he hadn't seen Fan Xian himself before, but he heard that Fan Xian was a young man who was not as weak as the crown, and later saw a portrait of Fan Xian on Sun Shangxiang's side, at this time, he could be regarded as recognizing Fan Xian.
Sure enough, he is really a young man, and he is still not as old as the weak crown, almost exactly the same as in the portrait, but shouldn't that be what he looked like six years ago?
If it is not as weak as the crown, how can there be such a word as Yizhi?
"General Guan!" After Lu Su Yuma met, he greeted Guan Yu with his hand, and saw Guan Yu looking at Fan Xian with a puzzled expression, so he introduced: "This is Mr. Yizhi!"
Looking at Guan Yu, who was basically the same as the description in the book, Fan Xian also arched his hand and smiled: "I have admired General Guan's prestige for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary!"
Guan Yu also arched his hand towards the two of them, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yizhi is also a hero and a young man, and Guan has also heard that Mr. Yi's methods are shocking!"
"General Guan is willing to go to the meeting alone this time, he must have thought about what Lu Su said about Jingzhou?" Lu Su went straight to the point.
"Mr. Zijing said with a smile, Guan Moujie is a martial artist, and he only knows how to guard the land of the Han family for his eldest brother!" Guan Yu didn't fluctuate in his heart, and even wanted to touch his beard.
Guan Yu's thick skin made Lu Su obviously stunned for a moment, frowned and then said: "When you were in Changbanpo, you were short of soldiers and horses, and you were exhausted, and my lord sympathized with you for having no place to live, so he cut his love and borrowed Jingzhou to help him, so that he could have some shelter, and now the general said so, I am afraid it is unfair, right?"
Hearing Lu Su's words, a person named Zhou Cang on Guan Yu's left interjected: "In the land of the world, only the virtuous live in it, how can it be that Rudong Wu should have it?"
This special denial is also so righteous and righteous!
Lu Su glanced at this person, and then saw Guan Yu's face change, snatched the big knife from Zhou Cang's hand, and pretended to be angry: "This is a major national matter, stop talking too much, retreat!"
Actor!
Fan Xian sincerely admired Guan Yu and the others, looked at the back of the person who was reprimanded by Guan Yu, and said: "Liu Bei's current actions are pretentious, he has obviously obtained Yizhou, but he still wants to annex Jingzhou, and even ordinary people disdain the position, let alone Uncle Liu Huang?"
"I have a word to tell you: Evil will be woe to you who are greedy and abandon righteousness. Fan Xian didn't have the slightest fear on his face, and said lightly.
Lu Su nodded, and also arched his hand and said: "General, you and I are people with heavy responsibilities, if you don't understand this reason, how to do it with righteousness to assist the master, but to favor its shortcomings, it is useless!"
