"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few months, and the Metropolitan Governor is still the same!"

At the beginning of November of the twentieth year of Jian'an, on the dock outside Jiangling City, I saw Lu Su, the governor of Jiangdong, who was dressed as a scribe in a cloth robe, and only brought a few entourages to come by boat, and Liu Chan, who had been waiting here, hurriedly laughed and greeted him.

Liu Chan still admired the last strategic-level strategist in Jiangdong who was committed to the Sun-Liu alliance to conquer Cao Cao, and was not hostile because of the different camps he was in.

What's more, Liu Chan was able to end his proton life and return from Jiangdong the previous time, although the main reason was that his father Liu Bei ceded half of Jingzhou, but Lu Su's role in it cannot be ignored.

Therefore, after learning that Lu Su would personally come to participate in the 'Lumen Cultural Meeting', Liu Chan also put down the affairs in his hand and went out of the city to greet him in person.

"Lao Annoy the state shepherd, I dare not be honest!"

Seeing Liu Chan who came up, Lu Su deserved to be an honest man in the romance, and he did not despise him at all because of his age and previous proton experience, but hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute.

"Why should the Metropolitan Governor be polite, when the boy was in Jiangdong in the past, the Metropolitan Governor took care of ......"

After returning the salute, while welcoming him to the car, Liu Chan also did not shy away from the past as a hostage, and took this as a starting point to talk to Lu Su.

Speaking of which, in the more than two years since he replaced the original Liu Chan as the hostage of Jiangdong, among the ministers of Jiangdong, Lu Su, the governor of the capital, would often come to visit him, bringing and explaining many things about the outside world. So from a certain point of view, this Lu Su can be regarded as his half-division.

"In the past, Lu Ziming once said to me, Shibei should be impressed for three days. In Yisu's opinion, the farewell of the son is more than impressive......

After some talking, looking at the age of the head in front of him, he acted modestly and generously, completely different from the mediocre Liu Chan in Jiangdong in the past, Lu Su couldn't help but sigh.

"Haha, most of the governors praised it! It's just that in the past, people were swordsmen, and I was fish and meat, and An Neng didn't keep his light and kept obscure in order to protect himself......"

did not have the slightest intention of concealing it, but Liu Chan calmly and bluntly said the past of 'pretending to be a grandson' in Jiangdong.

"The big husband can bend and stretch, and endure the unbearable of ordinary people, and he will be able to achieve great things!"

Seeing that Liu Chan didn't regard himself as an outsider, Lu Su couldn't help but praise him from the bottom of his heart.

"It's just that I don't know what Gongzi's intentions are in the future, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains or the sword pointing to Jiangdong?"

After a word of praise, Lu Su, an 'honest man', also went straight to the point, and directly probed Liu Chan, the youngest state pastor of the Han Dynasty, to make an assessment of the stability of the Sun-Liu Alliance.

"The husband was born in heaven and earth, and he should bring a three-foot sword to make immortal achievements! Today's Han family is declining, the kid only hopes that the Han family will prosper again, and Xiao Han will be eternal! ”

For Lu Su's straightforward inquiry, how could Liu Chan not know his intentions?

It's just that the other party is the governor of Jiangdong after all, so he can't directly say that his first sword target is Jiangdong in front of him, right?

Therefore, he did not want to deceive this 'honest man' half-master, so he could only answer with a more general and lofty goal.

"Childe's intentions, I understand it!"

After being silent for a long time, Lu Su shook his head helplessly and with a wry smile.

Although Liu Chan's answer was a bit general, as a first-class mastermind in this era, how could Lu Su not hear what the other party meant.

"Governor, in fact, the key to the alliance between you and us is not on our side, but on Jiangdong. It would have been fair for you to exchange the land of a southern county for our confrontation with the Cao thief, but General Sun was still not satisfied, and he still coveted Jingzhou. Previously, when Cao Thief's soldiers went out of Hanzhong, he betrayed the alliance and captured most of Jingzhou......"

Seeing that the other party had understood what he meant, Liu Chan also completely let go of the scruples in his heart and spoke up.

"Although my father has repeatedly made concessions to you in order to take into account the overall situation, but the alliance is like a husband and wife, how can he seek the all-powerful and long-term with the grievances of one party? Now that Cao is a thief, you and I can only work together to tide over the crisis. If you continue to backstab your allies at this time, it will only give Cao Thief a chance to take advantage of it. I also hope that the Metropolitan Governor will persuade Wu Hou more, take a long-term view, and don't limit yourself to Jingzhou! ”

Although the first target he set was Jiangdong, because he was familiar with the direction of the historical 'plot', Liu Chan had already formulated a plan to avoid the 'responsibility of betraying the alliance' in advance.

Therefore, at present, he is naturally qualified and confident to stand on the moral high ground and accuse Jiangdong of betraying the alliance.

It can be said that in formulating a plan to sweep away Jiangdong, so as to cross Jingyi and Yangjiao, and form a confrontation between the north and the south, Liu Chan is playing tricks.

No way, who told him to have the biggest cheat of 'crossing', and clearly know that God-given opportunity in a few years?

"Although Childe's words are not unreasonable, but the importance of Jingzhou in Jiangdong, Childe also knows it, right?"

Although he also agrees with Liu Chan's words, and knows the importance of the Sun-Liu Alliance, he is a minister of Jiangdong after all. So Lu Su, the governor of the capital, naturally can't let Liu Chan talk to himself, right?

"Hehe, the Metropolitan Governor is not an outsider, so the kid won't say the words of those two families. Although Jingzhou is also important in Jiangdong, and can even be said to be a screen, most of the governors think that General Sun's ambition can be used to revive the Han Dynasty? ”

Faced with Lu Su's defense, Liu Chan couldn't help but look at him with a mocking look on his face.

Although the current Han is only an empty shell, and the three families of Cao, Liu and Sun are just fighting for themselves, but this righteousness is still there after all, isn't it?

What's more, my father has always regarded himself as the orthodoxy of the Han family, and he is playing the banner of reviving the Han family, which is a natural advantage, and no one else can compare.

"Uh, this ...... General Sun, as a Hanchen, of course...... Of course, it is also for the revival of the Han Dynasty......"

There are some things that can always be done and not said, in the face of Liu Chan's playful evil smile, what else can Lu Su, who is a 'Hanchen', say? can only say that Sun Quan is also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty with a clear conscience, otherwise he still wants to follow in the footsteps of Yuan Shu?

"Although the Metropolitan Governor and General Sun are aiming to revive the Han Dynasty, according to what the kid has seen in Jiangdong in the past few years, many Jiangdong civil and military forces only care about the one-third of an acre of land in Jiangdong, and they don't have much enterprising spirit...... Instead of letting Jingzhou, where it comes in, idle in the hands of Wu Hou, why not let it play its due role in the hands of his father? ”

In the end, Liu Chan, who knew that the Jiangdong ministers could still work together for internal self-protection, but had little interest in external development, even raised the question of the ownership of Jingzhou to the height of the revival of the Han Dynasty.

However, in fact, arguing with Lu Su about the ownership of Jingzhou was just the result of his excitement when he was in a hurry, but he didn't really care.

After all, in his planning, even Jiangdong is in his bag, how can he care about the ownership of Jingzhou?

"Haha, Childe's argument is unparalleled, but Su is a little speechless! However, whether it is the emperor's uncle or the Marquis of Wu, they are all ministers of the Han Dynasty. The ownership of a Jingzhou is really a bit of a fuss......"

In the end, in the face of Liu Chan's somewhat scoundrel eloquent, the 'honest man' Lu Su could only prevaricate.

"The Metropolitan Governor is right, it's just one Jingzhou...... At present, it is a major matter to fight against Cao and the thief, and the rest of the things will remain the same and the same for the time being. Hahahaha......"

Liu Chan, who was originally just a whim, naturally would not be more serious on this issue, and he would get off the donkey along the other party's slope.

……

"Qi Yu Gongzi, the Cao thief envoy Wang Cang asks to see him, and he has been waiting for a long time!"

Not long after Liu Chan and Lu Su finished arguing over the ownership of Jingzhou, the chariot and horse had just arrived at the governor's mansion when an attendant trotted up to greet him, bringing news of Cao Cao's envoy.
