Sun Quan's arrival surprised Lu Chen, and then he immediately summoned Chen Gong and Pang Tong to discuss, preparing to find out the other party's intentions first. Originally, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang were also invited, but because Lu Bu had fought with Sun Jian in the Tiger Prison, he didn't have a good impression of Sun Ce's brothers at all and didn't want to come, while Zhang Yang was just without desire and didn't plan to come to mix. But it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of face for inviting them, and they can only be spectators when they come.

After the analysis of Chen Gong and Pang Tong, Sun Quan's visit is undoubtedly a great goodwill released by Jiangdong Sun Ce to Yanmen. But other than that, there should be no other purpose, at most, it is just the pursuit of some weapons and technology and the like.

Seeing that the two think tanks were talking contemptuously and worriedly, Lu Chen laughed self-deprecatingly, he knew that he was thinking too much. He knew that Sun Quan would become the boss of the Jiangdong Group after Sun Ce's death, and his ability was not under the brave Sun Ce, or even surpassed. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Yiling, which repelled Cao Cao and Liu Bei's attacks twice, I have to say that Sun Quan's means are good. Moreover, these two times are a heads-up behavior in Jiangdong, during the Battle of Chibi, although it is known as the Sun-Liu coalition army, but Liu Bei's thousands of men and horses are purely a waste of food, the official history is not a romance, there is no Zhuge Shenstick to invite Dongfeng, and there is no Pang Xiaopang to advise Cao Cao's entire series of warships, all of which are the credit of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu. In addition, in the battle of Yiling, Lu Xun's capital governor burned the company camp and made Liu Da'er die of anger in the White Emperor City, which was also a battle to establish Sun Quan's position.

It is precisely because of this that Lu Chen is so solemn about Sun Quan's arrival. In his opinion, the other party is a prince. And Pang Tong and Chen Gong didn't take Sun Quan seriously at all, even if they paid attention to it, it was only because Sun Quan was Sun Ce's younger brother, nothing more. They would never have known that Sun Ce would be killed by the assassins, let alone that Sun Quan, a little guy who was a year and a half younger than Lu Chen, would become a giant. Even, subconsciously, they will despise Sun Quan, after all. Everyone knows that Sun Quan and Sun Ce are completely two types of people. Sun Ce is brave, while Sun Quan is elegant. In addition, there are rumors that the purple-haired and blue-eyed Sun Quan is a small wild species. Hey.

Apparently. Lu Chen overestimated Sun Quan's weight. This discussion is less necessary. Although Lu Su is said to be a huge rich man in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu has not yet hung up, and Sister Xiao Qiao has not become a widow who sleeps with cucumbers all night. His status is not very high.

However, compared to other princes, Sun Ce sent his own younger brother, which also showed the importance of Lu Chen's subordinates, after all, he was much more attentive than Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others, which meant that he hoped to get more from Yanmen. In this regard, Chen Gong and Pang Tong persuaded Lu Chen to take the opportunity to ally with Dongwu on the grounds of distant friendship and close attack, and they analyzed that Sun Quan also saw that Yuan Shao could not get Cao Apu after all, and Scar Yuan was afraid that sooner or later he would be turned to explode Lao Ju, so he took precautions and hoped to unite with Lu Chen to put pressure on Cao Cao immediately after Cao Cao's victory, be a fisherman, and pick up part of Cao Cao's victory.

Lu Chen thought about it and thought that these two people were right.

"In this way, Xiao Junhou, entering the land of Sanqin, I am afraid it will no longer be so unattainable." Chen Gong once again asked Lu Chen Xiaojun to wait, he had never been optimistic about entering the main gate before.

"Before, our goal was to go down to the middle level, but it was too difficult, and once Cao Cao won, it will be even more difficult. But with Sun Ce's support, it would be much simpler. Sun Ce is entrenched in Jiangdong, although he and Jiangxia Huang Zu do not share the sky because of the hatred of killing his father, but everyone can see that Huang Zu offended Liu Biao in Jingzhou because he was too arrogant, and the three major families of Huang, Cai, and Pang in Jingzhou have always checked and balanced Liu Biao. Therefore, Liu Biao may not send troops to help at a critical juncture, that is to say, Huang Zu will inevitably be destroyed sooner or later, and once Huang Zu is destroyed, Sun Ce must turn his attention to Shouchun and Xuzhou, which are now in the hands of Cao Cao. If Sun Ce unites us, plus the defeated Yuan Shao, then it will not be a problem to balance Cao Cao at all. If you unite with the Jingzhou family to instigate Liu Biao, hehe, when the time comes, Cao will be victorious, and he will not be able to attack Hebei immediately, but will be attacked from all sides, so he will have to shrink. ”

Pang Tong is most familiar with Jingzhou and the shape of the south, and this analysis made Chen Gongdu nod frequently.

This time the Shang Council made Lu Chen a little disappointed, thinking that Sun Quan's arrival might be more important than other princes, but in the end, there would not be much action. If it was just to unite Jiangdong to deal with Cao Cao, he would not be interested at all, after all, he had already had a case against it, and even if Sun Quan did not come, he was sure that he would unite with Dongwu at that time.

However, the news eight days later made Lu Chen discover that the reason why Sun Quan came to Yanmen half a month earlier may be beyond the speculation of Pang Tong and Chen Gong. Because, according to calculations, Sun Quan and Lu Su would arrive at Yanmen in five days, but the actual situation was that they arrived, but they did not come to Mayi. Sun Quan personally wrote a letter to Lu Chen, saying that Lu Su was a businessman, and seeing that Yanmen was doing well, he wanted to visit the hinterland of Yanmen to inspect the business situation, and it seemed that he was ready to understand the situation and then do business with Lu Chen. According to the intelligence of the Flying Dragon secret spy, it is far from the case, Lu Su is a businessman, and recently, they do have a lot of intersections with some other business travelers, but Sun Quan did not follow Lu Su, he acted alone. It is reported that Sun Quan and his entourage traveled around several counties under the jurisdiction of Yanmen, and even prepared to visit coal mines and cement factories, but were not allowed to enter. Next, he went to look at the paving of the concrete road.

These news made Pang Tong and Chen Gong both overturn their previous opinions, and it seems that Sun Ce may really have some unusual purpose this time. They became interested in Sun Quan's interests, and it stands to reason that Jiangdong should be most interested in gunpowder, stirrups, horsesshoes, and other things, but Sun Quan didn't even look at it, and it was not mentioned in the letter.

On the tenth day, Sun Quan and Lu Su and a group of more than ten people finally came to the city of Mayi.

Lu Chen didn't go to greet him, and Lu Bu and Zhang Yang's identities wouldn't go, it was Pang Tong who went to greet him, and with the purpose of temptation. But although Sun Quan was young, he was really smart, and he sent Pang Tong away in a few words, without letting Pang Tong get any valuable information. In this regard, Pang Tong and Lu Chen are not in a hurry, after all, the other party has already come, and the purpose will be said sooner or later, they are interested in Sun Quan, this little guy who is only sixteen years old. Pang Tong, who had seen Sun Quan's side, was quite emotional, saying that Cao Cao's vision was still relatively unique.

After staying, Sun Quan and Lu Su went to meet Lu Bu and sent gifts and Sun Ce's handwritten letters, which can be regarded as a formal friendship. Then, they came to Lu Chen's small courtyard.

was led to the outer courtyard by Lu Zhan, but Sun Quan and Lu Su were frightened, because they saw something more shocking than the huge waterwheel stamping machines outside the city of Mayi, a clever thing that would turn on its own.

At that time, Lu Su was stunned, but Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he ran over and looked around the thing that was not dragged by a mule but was spinning rapidly with white steam. The two of them were fascinated or shocked, and they didn't even hear Lu Zhan's introduction that the guy with a sooty face next to the steam engine was Xiaojun waiting for Lu Chen.
