Chapter Twenty-Six: Koto's Reaction
"The military advisor also said the same, as long as the rights and status of the Shi family in Jiaozhou are retained, Shi Xie will surrender. However, the candidates for generals and lobbyists he mentioned by the military advisor are all up to me! The military advisor must have seen that I was too active during this time, and knew that there was a master behind me, so he wanted to test me. ”
"Hahaha!" Unexpectedly, when Liu Chan heard Zhao Yun say this, he suddenly burst out laughing.
Zhao Yun saw Liu Wei laughing, and was distressed: "Young master, you can still laugh, if the lord really sends me to Jiaozhou at that time and does not appoint a lobbyist for me, how can I say that I will descend to Shixie, wouldn't it be a mistake for the lord!" ”
Seeing Zhao Yun's sad face, Liu Chan smiled and said: "Uncle Zilong, don't panic, the military advisor just suspects that there is someone behind you to point out, and he can't confirm who it is, the reason why he recommended you to go to Jiaozhou as a lobbyist is to lure that person out."
As long as you insist that you can't serve as a lobbyist, the military advisor will know that the person who is guiding you behind your back can't go to Jiaozhou with you, so he will send someone else to go with you. ”
Hearing Liu Chan say this, Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "What the young master said is good, I'm afraid that the military advisor wants to lure you out, the young master." ”
Liu Chan nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, if the next time the military advisor proposes to let you be a lobbyist, you can still refuse." The military advisor is cautious, and when he sees that you dare not agree, he will send lobbyists with you just in case.
If the military advisor really doesn't send a lobbyist to you, I'm passing on some of your words, as long as you remember to memorize it, you can also surrender to the state! ”
Hearing Liu Chan say this, Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his handsome face: "If this is the case, Yun will rest assured!" ”
Liu Chan told Zhao Yun again, asking him to tell him anything about it, and then Zhao Yun left.
In the following days, Liu Bei acted in accordance with Liu Chan's strategy, and continued to write to Sun Quan, asking for a loan from Nanjun, and even revealed the news of the attack on Yizhou in the letters.
The content of the letter is even more miserable, which makes people cry when they see it and move them when they hear it.
At the end of December 209 A.D., it was a cold winter.
On the border of Koto, it has already snowed heavily.
Sun Quan's mansion, a scribe hurried to the door of Sun Quan's study, he was about thirty-five years old, wearing a blue robe, covered with a white coat, a righteous body, elegant and extraordinary, and a long beard fluttering, which made people feel good and close to him.
The guard at the door saw him and said, "Sir, the lord commands that you can go in directly when you arrive!" ”
The man nodded, took off his coat, shook off the snowflakes on it, put it back on, tidied up his clothes, and then pushed open the door and walked into the study.
"Lu Su has seen the lord!" Lu Su walked into the study and bowed to Sun Quan who was seated.
Sun Quan sat in front of the desk, looking at a letter in his hand, and there was a stove next to the table, which was burning with charcoal, and the study was very warm.
"Zijing is here, sit!" Seeing that it was Lu Su, Sun Quan put down the letter in his hand and stretched out his hand to point to the seat opposite the table.
Lu Su was also polite, kneeling down opposite Sun Quan, the carbon fire beating beside Lu Su, expelling the chill in his body.
Sun Quan is twenty-seven this year, more than seven feet tall, with a cold complexion, sharp edges and corners, and a black robe draped over his body. He was born with blue eyes and two whiskers on his lips, but they were yellow.
Although Sun Quan is not very old, he already has the style of a hero at this moment.
Lu Su arched his hand and asked, "I don't know what happened when the lord was urgently summoned to come down?" ”
"Look at the letter first!" Sun Quan did not answer Lu Su, but handed the letter in his hand to Lu Su.
"It was sent by Liu Bei again?" Lu Su took the letter, asked a question, and immediately read it.
When Lu Su read the letter, Sun Quanjian raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a deep voice: "In the past two months, Liu Bei has written a letter every three days, a book every five days, and I have saved a stack of his letters, and the case is almost overwhelmed. ”
But after a while, Lu Su also finished reading the letter, and sighed: "Liu Bei is selling miserably to the lord, I can't help but feel a little pity for him after reading this letter, he is afraid that he is really in a hurry, lord, it is better to borrow Nanjun!" ”
Sun Quan's narrow eyes showed a hint of unwillingness, and said: "Nanjun was captured by Gong Jin after fighting Cao Ren for a year, Gong Jin even hit the arrow for this, Liu Bei borrowed Nanjun with only a few letters, I am not reconciled!" What's more, Liu Bei said in his letter that he wanted to borrow Nanjun to obtain Yizhou, if he obtained Yizhou, his strength would surpass me, and he would pay it back then! ”
"Liu Bei has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, and now there are letters as proof, he has obtained Yizhou in the future, how can he not return Nanjun? When the time comes, won't you lose your trust in the world? What's more, if Cao Cao is still the strongest today, after the Battle of Chibi, he has been recuperating and recuperating and building Xuanwu Lake in Yecheng to train the navy.
Now that Liu Bei is weak, when Cao Cao is coming, I will fight on two fronts in Jiangdong, and it will be difficult to refuse. Only by lending Nanjun to Liu Bei, letting it develop and grow, and sharing the pressure of my Jiangdong, can we resist Cao Cao. Lu Su shook his head and said.
"Zijing, I don't know this truth, it's just Liu Bei, Nai Xiaoxiong, I'm worried that after Liu Bei gets Nanjun strong, he will drag Nanjun and not return it, and then I Jiangdong will become the weakest of the three, and sooner or later it will be swallowed up."
When Lu Su heard Sun Quan say this, he immediately smiled, stroked his beard and said, "Lord, it's good that you understand this truth, but have you thought about a question?" ”
Sun Quan raised his eyebrows slightly: "What's the problem?" ”
Lu Su arched his hand and said, "Age! Cao Cao was over fifty years old, Liu Bei was nearly fifty years old, and they were already old, while the lord was in the prime of life, less than thirty years old. Now Cao Cao's sons are busy competing for the position of the prince, it can be seen that they are all mediocre, and Liu Bei's son is only three years old, when Cao Liu dies, the inheritors of their inheritance are just some mediocre talents, young sons, how can they be your opponents?
What the lord needs to do now is to stabilize the Sun-Liu alliance so that Cao Cao, the great enemy, has nothing to do, accumulate strength in recuperation, and recuperate in the future, and wait for Cao Liu to die in a few years, the lord is sending troops, and he will be able to sweep the world! ”
When Sun Quan heard this, a trace of joy flashed on his face, Lu Su said well, Cao Cao is already in his fifties, and the generals who followed him to fight in the east and west will be old in a few years. And the same is true for Liu Bei, the second general Guan Zhang is also nearly fifty years old, and after a few years, these people will all die, who else in the world is his opponent?
On the other hand, Jiangdong, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, as well as the good general Lu Meng and the general Ling Tong, who were favored by him, are still very young. After ten years, fifteen years, when the time comes, under Sun Liu, who else will be their opponent, but the worrying person is just a Zhuge Liang.
