Sun Quan set up a banquet to entertain Liu Bei. During the banquet, Sun Quan asked: "If I borrow Xuande Jiangling, how can Xuande repay me." ”

Liu Bei said: "And resist Cao, rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, and leave a name for eternity." ”

Sun Quan laughed and said no more. Lu Su asked Liu Bei: "My lord borrowed the land and made the king, and the envoy used these empty words to prevaricate, but there was no actual action, which made people feel that the envoy had no gratitude, wouldn't it be detrimental to the name of benevolence and righteousness?"

Liu Bei said: "What do you mean by Zijing's words? ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "If you get Jiangling, if you get your wish, you will definitely be able to exert your fists and kicks, but you will have a place to garrison, and I, Lu Zijing, the new governor of Jiangdong, don't know where to station!" ”

Liu Bei knew in his heart that Lu Su was bargaining with himself and refused to borrow it in vain, but Liu Bei said quietly: "Zijing, how can you be the governor of the six counties in Jiangdong who has no place to garrison troops." ”

Lu Su said with a smile: "The place where I cantoned my troops is Jiangling, and there are already Jiangdong heroes stationed everywhere in the rest of the places, so it's not good for me to go and plug in!" So that you can see where I am good. ”

Liu Bei responded with a smile: "How is Poyang." ”

Lu Su said: "Ling Tong is here!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Tiger Forest." ”

Lu Su said: "Jiang Qin is here!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Wet beard." ”

Lu Su turned his head to Sun Quan and said, "Lord, look, Liu Yuanjun deceived me." ”

Liu Bei said: "How do you say this? ”

Lu Su said: "Drive me back." I'm going to drift in the sea again! ”

Liu Bei said with a smile: "It is said that Lu Su and Lu Zijing are honest people, this is not right!" ”

Lu Su said: "That's right, I'm trying to make you vigorously support the borrowing of Jiangling, so that you should understand, but honest people can't always suffer!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Okay, Zijing has something to say, where does Zijing want to station troops." ”

Lu Su said: "We are allies, of course we are good guards." Xiakou will give it to me! ”

Liu Bei pondered for a moment and said: "No, there are still people in Xiakou and Xinye, but Zijing for you to speak." How about I Liu Bei propose a plan? ”

Lu Su said: "Envoy, please speak." ”

Liu Bei said: "How about Bei willing to exchange Xiakou for Jiangling?" ”

Lu Su said: "Why did you say this? The land of Gangneung is so important, how can it be compared to Xiakou! ”

Liu Bei said: "Zijing, Jiangling is a city, and Xiakou is also a city. And the location of the two cities is like chicken ribs for both families. If they exchange with each other, they take what they need. Wouldn't it be better? ”

Lu Su said: "Otherwise, since Xiakou is important, it is the same as Jiangling in the eyes of the envoy." Why did the envoy come here to seek Gangneung. Gangneung's affairs are subject to change. ”

Liu Bei said: "Zijing doesn't have to be like this, joking." ”

After Liu Bei finished speaking, the atmosphere of the banquet was a little delicate.

Sun Quan raised his glass and said, "Xuande, come, let's have a drink." Liu Bei also picked up the wine bottle and drank it all.

After drinking. Lu Su asked again: "Does the envoy have a place for Su Tun's soldiers?" ”

Liu Bei listened and said: "Zijing, I want to give up the east of the mouth, including Fankou, to Jiangdong and give you troops." The west of the mouth belongs to us, which can be regarded as my gratitude to General Sun Quan and Zijing for borrowing land. ”

Lu Su smiled: "The envoy is stingy. ”

Liu Bei said: "After I settle the people, we will discuss again, and in the future, our two families should continue to work together, form an alliance forever, and fight against Cao." ”

Lu Su said: "This is natural. Envoy, Su still has something to do. ”

Liu Bei chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart: "Although Sun Quan temporarily cedes Jiangling to me, I'm afraid it won't be unconditional." It seems that today's things can't be good. His face remained unchanged and said, "What else is the matter with Zijing?" ”

Lu Su said: "The lord of my family is the third old minister because Cheng Pudu is the old minister, and he is ready to worship him as the Taishou of Changsha. But since Changsha is in the hands of the envoy. Our lord had no choice but to abolish this title. But Cheng Dudu can't have the title of Taishou, but he has no land. Since it has been promised, it cannot be taken back. Our lord is going to take Baqiu as the place to govern and set up Hanchang County, and Cheng Du is the governor. What do you think? ”

Liu Bei thought to himself: "What a Lusu, Baqiu is the gateway to Changsha." Lu Su is announcing the ownership of this place. But Baqiu Jiangdong will not give up and will not be a favor. Thinking of this, he said, "This is a matter of Jiangdong." It's all up to the conspiracy. ”

Sun Quan smiled: "Since that's the case." I appointed Cheng Pu as the Taishou of Hanchang. ”

Lu Su said again: "Envoy, Su still has one more thing." ”

Liu Bei smiled: "Zijing, this Jiangling is not easy to borrow!" ”

Lu Su said: "Compared to what the envoy gets, Su's request is nothing!" Make the king, borrow Hunan water for a use. ”

Liu Bei was shocked and said, "How to borrow." ”

Lu Su said: "The envoy only needs to give one pass." As for when, it is impossible to give an exact time. But reassure you. The number of people will not be too much. The envoy may also send someone to follow. When the time comes, I will inform you in advance. Of course, it may not be necessary! ”

Liu Bei smiled: "Zijing." Zhongmou has not yet made it clear that he wants to lend me Gangneung. Zijing's conditions are here! ”

Lu Su said: "There are gains and losses, but it is normal." ”

Liu Bei said: "Okay! I agreed. Lu Su nodded at Sun Quan.

Sun Quan immediately understood: "Xuande, Zijing will go back with you and hand over Jiangling." ”

Liu Bei thanked him. At the moment of drinking and feasting, the night was late, and Liu Bei returned to his accommodation to rest.

Lu Su stayed, and Sun Quan asked, "Zijing, the three conditions you put forward today. Bingtun Fankou, let Liu Bei admit that Hanchang County is very good. It's just that Liu Bei once said that he wanted to exchange for Jiangling, why did Zijing refuse so resolutely? If Liu Bei comes up with enough conditions to impress me, it will not be impossible! ”

Lu Su said: "My lord, the reason why Su insisted on borrowing Jiangling instead of exchanging Jiangling was to be able to meddle in Jingzhou in the future and leave a gap. Su insisted on asking for the land where the troops could be stationed and got to the east of the mouth. Let Liu Bei admit that Hanchang County is to compress the territory of Xiakou in Liu Bei's hands from both sides. Lower the barrier between Xiakou and Chaisang and Hanchang. The second is to quickly take down Xia Kou once Liu Bei turns his face in the future. After taking Xiakou, my Jiangdong will be unimpeded in the Yangtze River waterway. And Baqiu is the gateway to Changsha, and as soon as Xiakou is opened, Changsha County and Guiyang County have no danger to defend, and they can be taken immediately. If Liu Bei is agreed to change land, then Liu Bei will only exchange Xiakou and Changsha County at most. We will no longer be able to plot against Jingzhou in the future. ”

Sun Quan was overjoyed and said: "Reasonable." What does Zijing mean that Liu Bei will not return to Jiangling? ”

Lu Su said: "This Su doesn't dare to speculate. It's just that if the land of Jiangling is like a chicken rib in our hands, lend it to Liu Bei to let Liu Bei share the pressure of Cao Cao's arrival in the north. Shrink our forces. Second, to leave favors to Liu Bei. When we can become more and more stable, our power is getting stronger, and we can deal with Cao Cao alone, we will ask Liu Bei again and take advantage of the word. Actually, Su somewhat hoped that Liu Bei would not return it. If he pays the bills, we can justifiably take where we want! If Liu Bei returns, Xia Kou's hindrance to us will be far reduced. It's just that it can't touch the four counties of Jingnan and the west of Yiling. We occupied Jingzhou and did not stabilize the rear. Grain and grass and taxes are a problem! ”

Sun Quan said: "Zijing, you're too greedy!" Liu Xuande also praised you for being an honest person! ”

Lu Su said: "Su also said, Su is an honest person. But this honest man's surname is Sun, not Liu! ”

Sun Quan laughed: "That's good! By the way, what is Zijing borrowing Xiangshui for? ”

Lu Su said: "After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei made the most profits. We in Jiangdong suffered a big loss. I want to find it elsewhere. ”

Sun Quan is so smart, he can channel at one point: "Jiaozhou!" ”

Lu Su said: "Exactly, it is the most convenient to go south along the Xiangjiang River. Liu Xuande took Jingzhou, and we lent him Jiangling. It takes time to stabilize. We took the opportunity to go south and take Jiaozhou. I heard that many talented people and people avoided chaos here. ”

Sun Quan said: "Zijing is very worried! Okay, Zijing can recommend someone for me to go south. ”

Lu Su excused himself and said: "Knowing people and employing people is not as good as the lord." Please also ask the lord to send it. It's just the lord, and the number of people should not be too many. Cangwu was too guarded by Wu Ju and was sent by Liu Biao, and he was friends with Liu Bei. The lord needs to be curious. Surprise and defeat the enemy. ”

Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "I have to think about this candidate." Don't mention this. Zijing, with you to help me, Liu Xuande is not worried. Come, I'll toast you. ”

Lu Su raised the wine bottle and suddenly said, "Lord, this silent night reminds Su of a person!" ”

Sun Quan's smile also retracted: "Zijing, Quan also thinks of someone." Let's honor him! ”

Sun Quan and Lu Su got up and walked to the door of the main hall and faced the bright moon. Sun Quan raised his glass to heaven and said: "Gongjin, I have received your letter, and every word is like a pearl." It's just that the current situation is compelled to contradict what you have told. But my grandson will never be controlled by others, I want to inherit the foundation of my father and brother and strengthen Jiangdong. Fight for the world with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and never live up to Gongjin's intentions! ”

Lu Su raised his glass and said: "Gong Jin, the ambition that the lord said is what Su expected. Su will not accommodate Liu Bei, Liu Bei is just an ally, and Su is divided. Now, Sun and Liu can survive. But if Liu Bei threatens Jiangdong, the first person to make a move must be me Lu Su. In his lifetime, he will definitely assist the lord and achieve hegemony. It also saves you from complaining over there! ”

Sun Quan turned his head to look at Lu Su, the monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and together they poured the wine in the bottle on the ground and sacrificed Zhou Yu from afar.

A few days later, Liu Bei returned, and Sun Quan personally sent him off. Liu Bei and Lu Su arrived in Jiangling together. Gan Ning withdrew from Fankou, and the Tunshui army was in Xiakou. Lu Su gave up Jiangling, Liu Bei settled in, Lu Su moved to Fankou, and the general Cheng Pu was stationed in Baqiu, for Hanchang Taishou, although it was in the embarrassing position of Liu Beijun on all sides, but it was still nailed to Jingzhou like a nail, announcing that the owner of Jiangling was Jiangdong.
