Seeing that Liu Bei was going to drive himself away, where did Liu Chan miss the next wonderful scene, pouting his small mouth, blinking his big watery eyes, and using a hundred tried and tested tricks: "The child doesn't leave, the child has to take care of the father, please don't drive the child away!" ”

When Liu Bei saw Liu Chan's teary-eyed eyes, his heart suddenly softened, and he said, "It's okay, madam, you can stay with Adou on the side, just don't intervene." ”

"No!"

Zhuge Liang didn't say anything, and went out of the room to the front hall to bring Lu Su over, but after a while, Zhuge Liang took Lu Su to Liu Bei's room.

"I've seen Uncle Liuhuang! I've seen Madame! Lu Su came to the room and bowed to Liu Bei and Mrs. Mi first.

Liu Bei lay on the bed and didn't get up, his hands pretended to be weak and patted the edge of the bed, and said, "It's Zijing here!" Come and sit, after more than a year, I miss Zijing very much. ”

"Hey!" Lu Su was also polite and did it on the edge of the bed.

Liu Chan observed Lu Su from the side, and saw that he was handsome and upright, and he unconsciously had a good impression of him. Lu Su's personality charm is very high, Guan Yu is such an arrogant character, Sun Quan wants to be his son and daughter, Guan Yu looks down on him, but he has great respect for Lu Su.

Looking at Lu Su, Liu Chan secretly said in his heart: "This is the first person in Jiangdong to understand, if he hadn't died young, I'm afraid that Lu Meng wouldn't be able to beat Nanjun later, and the final history of the Three Kingdoms might be rewritten." ”

Lu Su sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Liu Bei with a concerned face, and said, "Uncle Liuhuang, how is your illness?" ”

Liu Bei sighed: "Hey, it's just that my chest is tight every day, and I can't swallow it!" ”

"Uncle Liu Huang remember to take care of his body!"

Liu Bei took Lu Su's hand, his face was full of decadence: "Zijing, rest assured, my body is fine, I have thought a lot about the days I have been lying on the bed." I think I, Liu Bei, is nearly fifty years old, but I still haven't achieved anything, my old age is approaching, and there is no hope that the ambitions of the year will be completed.

Zijing, I have already sent people south to Jiaozhou to persuade Shixie to surrender, and now I am too old to compete with Cao Thief, so I want to retreat to Lingnan. Although the Cao thief is powerful, he can't beat Lingnan if he wants to, and if you are free in the future, you can often come and catch up with me! ”

Lu Su was frightened by Liu Bei's words, Liu Bei actually took Jiaozhou quietly and persuaded Shixie to surrender? And Liu Bei still has to retreat to Lingnan, and he doesn't plan to fight for the world?

Lingnan refers to the area south of the Five Mountains, which is the area of present-day southern Jingzhou and Jiaozhou.

Now that Liu Bei is in the public security, it can be seen that he still has the ambition to point at the Central Plains, but if he moves the administrative office to Lingnan. Then Liu Bei is going to give up his previous goal and become the master of the city.

Lu Su couldn't figure out for a while whether Liu Bei deliberately pretended to be sick and waited for the price to sell, or whether he really retreated because he couldn't get Nanjun.

But persuasion must be persuaded, as soon as Liu Bei retreats, how can he gain a foothold in Jiangdong?

"Uncle Liu Huang, why is this, you are only less than fifty years old, how can you talk about old age? What's more, you are a relative of the Han family, summoned by the blood of the Son of Heaven, determined to support the Han family, and now you have finally defeated the Cao thief in Chibi and have your own foundation, why do you have the intention of retreating? If you do this, how can you be worthy of the Son of Heaven who is bullied by Cao thieves all day long! ”

Hearing Lu Su say this, Liu Bei's eyes suddenly became rosy, his voice was hoarse, and he hammered his chest with both hands and said: "Zijing, why don't I want to help the Han family, every time I think of the Son of Heaven, my heart is like a knife, but I can't do it!" ”

Lu Su hurriedly said: "Uncle Liu Huang don't want to be like this, you have a heart to retreat, because you can't get Nanjun, I am here to tell Uncle Huang that my lord has promised to lend Nanjun to the lord!" ”

Then Liu Bei didn't show much excitement, just a little hesitant: "This ......"

Seeing that Liu Bei refused to agree, Lu Su had no choice but to look at Zhuge Liang and said, "Kong Ming, you are persuading Uncle Liuhuang!" ”

Then Zhuge Liang chuckled and said: "Zijing, Zijing, I always thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect you to be so treacherous, you came to the public security, did you really want to lend Nanjun to my father-in-law?" ”

"Kong Ming, what you said, what I said is naturally true!" Lu Su said solemnly: "This is what my lord personally promised!" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and sneered: "When did Zijing learn to lie, you obviously have two things to do when you come to the public security." I heard that Zhou Lang's attack on Yizhou failed, but the old disease recurred, this first thing, I'm afraid that he wants to borrow Hua Tuo's miracle doctor, right?

That's the second thing...... Now Zhou Lang has led his troops back to Maosu, and gathered Wu Hou's soldiers and horses to resist Cao Cao, the situation on the Weixu side is stable, but Cao Cao has not yet withdrawn, and your Jiangdong soldiers and horses on the Weisu side cannot be withdrawn lightly.

On the Jingzhou side, Cao Ren sent troops to attack Nanjun, and Wen Ping sent troops to attack Jiangxia. You don't have enough troops, you can only defend one county, you should want to transfer the troops of Nanjun to guard Jiangxia, please ask my lord to garrison Nanjun for you, right? ”

There are only about 100,000 soldiers and horses in the whole Jiangdong, Sun Quan arranged 40,000 troops in the mouth of the water, Zhou Yu attacked Yizhou with 35,000, and now the two soldiers and horses converge in the Weisu to confront Cao Cao, a total of 75,000.

The defenders of Nanjun are only about 5,000, Jiangxia is also 5,000, and the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are guarding all parts of Jiangdong.

Cao Cao's main force attacked the mouth of the water, but at the same time ordered Xiangfan Cao Ren and Jiang Xiawen to respond. After Zhou Yu returned to the army, Cao Ren sent 20,000 troops to attack Nanjun, and Wen Ping sent 10,000 troops to attack Jiangxia.

Therefore, these two counties can only keep one county, so Sun Quan planned to give up Nanjun and transfer the soldiers and horses of Nanjun to Jiangxia to defend it.

It's just that Cao Ren's soldiers and horses have 30,000, and the defenders of Nanjun will be defeated if they are careless when they retreat, and the losses will be heavy or light. Even Cao Ren will take advantage of the situation to enter Jiangxia and join Wenpin, and Jiangxia is also in danger of being lost. Once this happens, Koto will also be in danger.

Therefore, Sun Quan could only turn to Liu Bei for help, ask him to settle in Nanjun, and plan for the defenders of Nanjun to retreat safely to Jiangxia, so as to stabilize Jiangdong's defense on the western front of the Yangtze River.

At the same time, Sun Quan also had a bit of luck, hoping to use this undefinable Nanjun to exchange some benefits for Liu Bei.

The best result is to count Nanjun as being lent to Liu Bei, and Cao Cao will retire in the future and will come back.

The worse result is to give Nanjun to Liu Bei, although he has suffered a lot of losses in Jiangdong, but now the situation is critical, and the retreat of the defenders of Nanjun has become a problem, and Liu Bei must respond in order to retreat to Jiangxia and stabilize the long-term defense of the western front.

It was a reluctant move, but it had to be done.

Lu Su listened to Zhuge Liang's words, and said with a wry smile: "Kong Ming, who can't hide anything, this is indeed my request to come to the public security, and it is also the request of my lord Wu Hou, I don't know these two things, Uncle Liu Huang, can you agree!" ”
