Lu Su has always been a cautious and calm person. Otherwise, he would not have served as Sun Jian's envoy at a young age, often going back and forth between the Jin Kingdom and Jiangdong, and doing some important work for Sun Jian and Zhao Xing, eliminating misunderstandings, and enhancing mutual trust.

He thought about it and felt that it was still not appropriate to tell Sun Jian about Zhuge Fang's astonishing discovery that he was suspected to be Zhao Zhenbang for the time being. He was not worried that after Sun Jian knew Zhao Zhenbang's identity, it would be unfavorable to Zhao Zhenbang. On the contrary, judging from Sun Jian's words and deeds when he saw Zhao Zhenbang today, he obviously admired this young man very much, and if he learned that Zhuge was his future son-in-law, he was afraid that he would be so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Lu Su felt that since Zhao Zhenbang had tried his best to sneak into Shouchun, and now he seemed to have won Zhuge Jin's trust and respect, then the plot must be very important, and if his identity was rashly exposed, he was afraid that it would cause a series of chain reactions. Since the Jin State is not targeting Jiangdong but Yuan Shu, it is easy not to destroy the good deeds of others, otherwise I am afraid that it will cause a big misunderstanding.

Now Jiangdong and Jin are in the honeymoon period, and Lu Su himself has a much clearer understanding of Zhao Xing's ability than others in Jiangdong. Although the Sun father and son are also heroes who dominate the party, if they confront Zhao Xing and his inhuman generals in the future, I am afraid that the end will be as miserable as Yuan Shao. Therefore, what Lu Su can do is to try to maintain the relationship between Sun Jian and Zhao Xing, repair the damage caused by the interference of external forces, and avoid the flowery Jiangdong region from eventually falling into endless war because of the gate lords' hegemony.

Lu Su is not ready to expose Zhao Zhenbang's identity, it does not mean that he will sit back and watch this bold little guy come and go casually and make trouble. If this matter spreads in the future, there will be no brilliance on the faces of these Jiangdong talents. Therefore, Lu Su was going to wait until the end of the discussion, and personally went to the post house to meet the little housekeeper for a while to see what Zhao Zhenbang, who was pretending to be Zhuge Fang, wanted to do.

Soon after Zhuge Fang left, Sun Jian called everyone to come to discuss the matter. He told everyone concisely and concisely the words that the little butler had just relayed Zhuge Jin, and then said: "Now it seems that the news that Shang Xiang sent back from Shouchun is true, Yuan Shu is really blind, and he actually intends to force the court to be crowned king, how do you think this matter is the most appropriate?"

Zhang Zhao said: "I heard people say that Zhao Guochang once said 'accumulate grain and slow down the king' when he asked people more than ten years ago, but now that I think about it, it is still thought-provoking, which is enough to learn from!" Zhang Zhao did not explicitly say whether he opposed or supported Yuan Shu, but tactfully reminded Sun Jian that it is the right way to bury his head in stabilizing and managing the current territory, and those things that have a vain name are not indisputable.

Zhou Yu echoed Zhang Zhao and said: "Even if Yuan Shu is crowned King of Huainan, there is not much benefit except for the multiple crowns on his head. This person has always been narrow-minded and narrow-eyed, and this time he is eager to make the court king, but he just wants to fight with the king of Pingxi. Although the imperial court divided Zhao Guochang as the king of Pingxi, he only got a piece of land outside the control of the Han Dynasty, which was also acceptable to the corporal and the people of the world. If Jiangdong supports Yuan Shu to be the king this time, it will be tantamount to declaring to the world that the Sun family also has the heart to be the king, and he is afraid that it will cause endless trouble in the future. ”

Sun Jian nodded and said, "What Mr. Zibu and Gong Jin just said is very true, I never thought of dividing the territory and separating myself from the Han Dynasty. Only because the world is in chaos, in order to protect the peace of one party, the Sun family is fortunate to have the support of everyone, based in Jiangdong, operating for ten years, and now there is this peaceful land. ”

"Zhao Guochang, the king of Pingxi, is now prestigious, although he has repeatedly put the court in a state of confusion, but he also deserves the title of the hero. The northern states, which were originally deeply invaded by foreign tribes, are now more prosperous and stable than the Central Plains under their governance. If it were someone else, he would have 500,000 unstoppable tigers, and he would definitely rush into Luoyang to capture the Son of Heaven and abolish the man to stand on his own. However, until now, Zhao Guochang has never crossed the Yellow River, and has always been to eliminate the princes who have ambitions for the Han Dynasty, which shows that his people are very resistant to the practice of splitting the Han Dynasty. ”

When Sun Jian said these words, his expression was flat, and there was no expression of disbelief or jealousy, as if he had long forgotten that he had responded to the call of the imperial court and sent troops to assist the imperial army in besieging and annexing the state.

Sun Ce endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back a sentence: "Father, now that we have a close relationship with the Jin Kingdom, we can naturally live in the land of Jiangdong." If one day King Pingxi takes over the Central Plains and has nominally controlled the dragon vein of Kyushu, how should we deal with ourselves?"

Sun Jian seemed to have expected someone to ask this sensitive question, so he said slowly: "Don't worry. Let's just watch how Zhao Guochang treats the surname Liu of the Han family, if he can treat the royal family well, then he can also treat Jiangdong well, why should we bother ourselves at that time. If he is desperate and unscrupulous, just to compete for the supreme position that can command the world, we must also stand up and compete with him!"

Seeing that everyone was no longer talking, Lu Su stepped forward and said, "Lord, I thought that Zhuge Jin was very ill, and I wanted to go to find out what was going on after the discussion was over, so as to find some excuse for answering Yuan Shu in the future." ”

Sun Jian agreed to Lu Su's request, and then said with some concern: "This time it is also unfortunate, Zhongmou's front foot left Wu County, and Yuan Shu's envoy came to Jiangdong on the back foot, even if we want to refuse Yuan Shu's request, I am afraid that we will have to wait until Bo Fu returns smoothly, otherwise if Bo Fu is discovered by Yuan Shu in Shouchun, we will fall into a dilemma." ”

After the discussion was over, everyone dispersed, and Lu Su asked people to prepare some nutritious and nourishing food, and then came to the post house.

Zhao Zhenbang, who was talking to Zhuge Jin in a low voice in the room, suddenly heard a post house official speaking outside the door: "Little butler Zhuge , Mr. Zijing from Sunzhou's pastoral mansion is here, saying that he came to visit Mr. Zhuge Ziyu on behalf of Sunzhou Mu!"

"Damn, didn't I tell Sun Jian to send someone here in a few days! I actually sent Lu Su over so quickly, it seems that I am still not worried about your condition, eldest son!" Zhao Zhenbang whispered to Zhuge Jin with frowns.

"You quickly went out to defend me for a while, and said that I had a headache and a brain fever and fell asleep again, and I couldn't see anyone. But if there are tedious things, you can just take them!" Zhuge Jin hurriedly finished speaking, and hurriedly covered his head with the quilt.

Zhao Zhenbang got up and looked back at Zhuge Jin, who was already covered in the quilt, and sighed secretly, thinking that Zhuge Jin was such a great talent, just because he met Yuan Shu's kind of second goods, he had to pretend to be sick to protect himself, I really don't know whether it should be his sorrow or Yuan Shu's sorrow.
