Jiangxia County, Qi 'Spring' County.

Ferry side.

A warship came through the 'waves' and finally stopped at the ferry.

A middle-aged man, dressed in white, walked out of the warship.

This person is none other than Lu Ji.

He set out from Wu County, took the waterway along the Yangtze River, and soon arrived at the ferry port of Qi 'Chun' County, Jiangxia County.

With a faint smile on his face, Fa Zheng stepped forward and said, "Gongji, you can count it." ”

The person who greeted him was Fazheng.

The news of Lu Jilai had already come first.

For Lu Ji to bring Zhang Liao and Xun You, Liu Xiu was extremely welcome. And he had also received a message from Lu Xun before, and knew that it was Lu Xun's plan.

Lu Ji came on behalf of the Lu family, and Liu Xiu welcomed him.

Therefore, Fa Zheng, who knew Lu Xun and Lu Ji, was sent to greet him.

Lu Ji arched his hand and said, "Mr. Fa is polite." ”

Fa Zheng opened the 'door' and said, "Brother Gongji, where are the people?"

Lu Ji smiled: "It's all on the boat!"

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the State of Wu escorted Zhang Liao and Xun You out.

Fa Zheng ordered someone to take over Zhang Liao and Xun You, and then took Lu Ji to the military camp.

When Lu Ji and his party arrived at the camp, Liu Xiu had already led Shamoke and Huang Hu to wait at the 'gate' of the camp.

As soon as Lu Ji got out of the carriage, he saw Liu Xiu.

Through dress, bearing, and age, Lu Ji judged that the person who greeted him was Liu Xiu.

Fa Zheng reminded: "Brother Gongji, the person at the 'gate' of the camp is the king. ”

Lu Ji shook his head.

At this time, Lu Ji was also very happy in his heart.

Liu Xiu was able to greet him in person, which shows Liu Xiu's attention.

He walked a few steps quickly, came to Liu Xiu's face, clasped his hands together, and saluted respectfully: "Lu family, Lu Ji, meet the King of Chu." ”

That's where it comes in.

The Lu family, not the Wu family.

In his words, Lu Ji had already identified himself.

Liu Xiu stretched out his hand to hold up Lu Ji, and said: "This king has admired Mr. for a long time, and it is really a blessing to see Mr. today." ”

Lu Ji knew that this was a polite remark, but his heart was still comfortable.

Liu Xiu's attitude is respectful enough for him.

Lu Ji said: "The king of Chu praised it falsely, and he didn't dare to be ashamed." ”

Liu Xiu said: "Mr. has worked hard all the way, please follow me into the barracks." ”

Lu Ji said: "King Chu, please!"

The group entered the tent, and the guests and hosts were seated.

Lu Ji opened the 'door' and said: "King Chu, there are two things in this coming to Qi 'Chun' County. First, Xun You and Zhang Liao were transferred to the king of Chu, and second, the king of Wu hoped that the king of Chu would accept Wu's request to surrender. ”

Liu Xiu looked at Lu Ji and asked rhetorically, "Mr. Lu thinks that this king should deal with the matter of Wu Guo's request for surrender?"

When Lu Ji heard this, his face became serious.

Liu Xiu's words were equivalent to a test for him.

Although Lu Ji and Lu Xun were still in the Wu Kingdom, the Lu family had already returned to Liu Xiu.

Lu Jizheng said: "King, it is not difficult to deal with the matter of Wu Guo's request to surrender. Zhang Liao and Xun You were already in the hands of the king, and the king only needed to put forward the conditions for King Wu to enter Jingzhou. ”

Entering Jingzhou meant that Sun Quan gave up his military power.

Sun Quan categorically would not agree to such a condition.

Liu Xiudao: "This king let Sun Quan enter Jingzhou, and Sun Quan will not agree." However, Zhang Liao and Xun You have fallen into the hands of this king, how do you explain it to Sun Quan?"

Lu Ji said unhurriedly: "Even if the king of Chu does not accept the invitation of Wu State, Sun Quan will also send Zhang Liao and Xun You to the king." The reason for this was the hope that the alliance between Chu and Wei would break down. ”

Liu Xiu's head was raised.

Lu Ji's analysis is correct.

Lu Ji sent an envoy to Jiangxia this time, the first was to provoke the alliance between Liu Xiu and Cao 'Cao', and the second was to ask for surrender.

Liu Xiu said: "This king let Sun Quan enter Jingzhou, but Sun Quan disagreed. This means that Wu's plan to surrender was not successful. You went back to Wu County, how did you 'deliver' to Liu Xiu?"

When Lu Ji heard this, he had a bright smile on his face.

He had already thought about this question.

Lu Ji was calm and calm, and said with a positive 'color': "The king only needs to be punished with a cane and twenty military sticks, and when he returns to Wu County in the next time, he will naturally be able to 'hand' the difference." ”

Liu Xiudao: "Bitter 'meat' plan!"

Lu Jidao: "The king is wise, and he argues with reason, but the king does not agree to the conditions, and Sun Quan must enter Jingzhou." In the end, the staff of the king of Chu was responsible for the twenty military sticks and the camp where he lived, and things were as simple as that. ”

Liu Xiu said: "In this way, it will be bitter for Mr. ”

Lu Ji said: "It's not surprising that there is a little bit of skin and 'meat' suffering. ”

Liu Xiu said: "This king will hold a banquet tonight to wash the dust for Mr. Wait until tomorrow to formally discuss political affairs. In front of the rest of the officials of Wu State, put on a good show. ”

Lu Ji said: "Thank you, King." ”

After some 'exchange' talks, Liu Xiu changed his words and said, "How is the situation in Wu now?"

Lu Ji said: "The whole country of Wu is trembling, and they are all worried about the destruction of the country of Wu. The ministers are already thinking about a way out. This time, Sun Quan was able to successfully transfer to Xun You and Zhang Liao, on the one hand, it was Bo Yan's plan, and on the other hand, Zhang Zhao's cooperation. Now, Zhang Zhao is already on the side of the king. ”

Liu Xiu arched his hand and said: "The merits of Mr. and Boyan are remembered by this king. ”

That night, Liu Xiu held a banquet to entertain Lu Ji and the people of Wu State.

The next day, Liu Xiu officially met with Lu Ji and the accompanying Wu officials.

Lu Ji officially 'handed over' Zhang Liao and Xun You, and then put forward the conditions for Wu Guo to surrender. In front of the ministers of Wu State, Liu Xiu proposed to let Sun Quan enter Jingzhou before accepting Wu's request to surrender.

Lu Ji argued on the basis of reason and did not back down.

In the end, he angered Liu Xiu, and was scolded by Liu Xiu with twenty military sticks, and then expelled from the barracks.

Lu Ji was lying in the carriage, his buttocks were already swollen. Liu Xiu and Lu Ji discussed, originally to fake the fight, but Lu Ji asked for a real fight, and the twenty military sticks were beaten down, and Lu Ji was seriously injured.

The accompanying officials saw it in their eyes, and they were all angry.

"Lord Lu, Liu Xiu is too arrogant. After accepting Zhang Liao and Xun You, he didn't even agree to Wu Guo's request to surrender. Not only that, but he also scolded Lord Lu with a cane, which was really too deceitful. ”

"That's right, Liu Xiu is too hateful. ”

"Alas, this time the surrender failed, what should Wu Guo do?"

......

The atmosphere of the crowd, but also the worries in their hearts.

Everyone knows the situation of Wu Guo, Liu Xiu refused to surrender, what should Wu Guo do?

Lu Ji endured the pain and said, "Everyone, although I have been beaten. However, Zhang Liao and Xun You still 'handed over' to Liu Xiu. This matter was originally arranged by the king, so there was no problem for Liu Xiu to forcibly leave Xun You and Zhang Liao. ”

"The most important thing is to separate Liu Xiu and Cao's ''. ”

"As long as Liu Xiu and Cao '' turn their faces, even if we fail to surrender, it will not have much impact. ”

"When two tigers fight, one will be injured. ”

"As long as Liu Xiu and Cao 'Cao' lose after the fight, Wu Guo will be safe. ”

Lu Ji was lying on the carriage, and his voice trembled a little when he spoke.

When everyone heard this, they all nodded.

It's just that everyone looked at Lu Ji, and they all hugged Lu Ji.

Lu Ji saw it in his eyes, but he laughed in his heart. He used the bitter 'meat' trick to ensure that after he returned, he could smoothly 'pay' to Sun Quan.
