The letter that Zhou Yu wrote to Sun Quan had been shown to Lu Ren, but what Lu Ren saw was actually only half of the content. As for this matter, Lu Ren knew it but did not interfere much, because Lu Ren knew that he had to show his sincerity here at this time, so Zhou Yu's complete letter was delivered to Sun Quan in a completely unopened state.

At this time, Sun Quan was in a state of considerable hesitation on whether to send troops or not, and what he needed most was the advice given by a figure like Zhou Yu, so Sun Quan opened the letter immediately after receiving it, but after reading it, his face became a little unpleasant. After thinking about it again, Sun Quan asked people to invite Lu Su to discuss.

In the original history, Sun Quan's Jiangdong Siying died at this time and only Lu Xun was left, and the current situation is that Lu Meng died more than ten years ago, and Lu Xun was poached by Lu Ren, and Zhou Yu and Lu Su, the two guys who should have died of illness, were cured of the disease because of Lu Ren and have lived until now. Therefore, the current Sun Quan is one more than the original situation in history where there was only one four-British general.

However, Zhou Yu followed Lu Ren to Central Asia to participate in the war for the sake of Sun Quan, and the position of upstream commander of Jiangdong fell on Lu Su. This time there was a lot of trouble, and Zhou Yu was not by Sun Quan's side, so Lu Su's suggestion was extremely important to Sun Quan, so he had already called Lu Su to Jianye before.

But Lu Su did not make any clear suggestions this time, if you want to divide the categories among the three factions, Lu Su can be classified into the wait-and-see faction. However, Sun Quan did not blame Lu Su, because Sun Quan knew that Lu Su had fallen into that state of indecision at this time, just like himself, after all, this opportunity was really too rare.

Without a few words of gossip, it was only said that Lu Su hurried over when he heard that Sun Quan had summoned him, and there were no polite words after meeting Sun Quan, so Sun Quan waved away the attendants, and then handed Zhou Yu's letter to Lu Su to take a look. After Lu Su finished reading it, Sun Quan asked, "Zijing, what do you think of what Gong Jin said in the letter?" ”

Lu Su didn't answer immediately, but looked at Zhou Yu's letter very carefully.

Zhou Yu's letter is divided into two parts, the first half is for Lu Ren to read, and it is nothing more than some officialdom clichés, so there is no need to elaborate. But in the second half, that is, the ones that Lu Ren had not seen, Zhou Yu explained to Sun Quan in detail the potential strength of Lu Ren that he had examined, such as how many households a certain county has, how much grain can be produced every year, how many soldiers can be recruited when necessary, and how much industrial output value can be......

In the letter, Zhou Yu also wrote very clearly: "Although Jin fought with Lu Ren in Central Asia and was a hostage, Yu was by no means a person who spared his life in order to protect himself. If the lord raises troops at the invitation of Cao Pi, although he may be able to gain temporary benefits, Lu Ren has a deep foundation, and with the current situation, he will definitely not be able to destroy his foundation, and the lord will not be able to destroy it. It seems like this, although Lu Ren may be defeated, but he will definitely be able to regroup and retaliate against Jiangdong, and it will be difficult for Jiangdong to have a peaceful day. ”

These data listed one by one made Lu Su also frightened. After reading it again, Lu Su couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, and then let out a long breath and then said to Sun Quan: "It's so dangerous!" If it weren't for Gong Jin to send this letter in time, and the lord would use troops against Lu Ren, I am afraid that our Jiangdong will not be at peace in the future, and there will even be a danger of hanging eggs! ”

Sun Quan's face darkened a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Does this Lu Ren really have such profound strength?" ”

Lu Su said: "Gong Jin's character, can't the lord still believe it?" Moreover, Gong Jin has been staying in Lu Ren's territory for the past two years, and his consideration and cognition of Lu Ren's territory are far above those of the Jiangdong monarchs, so he dares to assert that what Gong Jin said in his letter is true. ”

Sun Quan's face was still dark, and he didn't nod his head or shake his head. In other words, Sun Quan really trusts Zhou Yu so much? More than ten years ago, the Battle of Chibi may have been, but now it is more than ten years later, and the mentality of Sun Quan, the superior, has more or less changed. Although it is not as good as the original history of "the late festival is not guaranteed", but ...... Alas, there is really no point in talking too much about this kind of question. In fact, Zhou Yu would choose to hand over the military power a few years ago, and then recruit Jiangdong's disciples to go to Lu Ren to participate in the war, in fact, there is a layer of meaning to avoid high merit and shock the master. This is not only self-preservation, but also to maintain Sun Quan's face and lining.

In short, Sun Quan still trusts Zhou Yu, but not completely. Therefore, at this time, Sun Quan will inevitably have some different thoughts, and he will neither nod nor shake his head at what Lu Su said just now.

Lu Su is also a human spirit among human spirits, if anyone really regards Lu Su as an honest and honest person, he is a big fool, at least in Lu Ren's eyes, Lu Su is the kind of character who looks honest and is actually quite good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. And such a character, how can he not understand some of Sun Quan's mentality now.

first sighed secretly in his heart, and then changed the conversation with Lu Su: "Do you remember that the lord once took him to Yizhou more than ten years ago?" ”

Sun Quan nodded this time. In fact, Sun Quan was also worried about that unannounced visit, because he and Lu Su were accidentally bumped into by Lu Ren at that time, and Lu Ren was out of many considerations at that time, and finally chose to send Sun Quan and Lu Su back to Jiangdong quietly, and did not do anything else. Until now, Sun Quan thought that it was one of the most dangerous events in his life, but he didn't expect it to end like that.

Of course, this is not what Lu Su wants to say: "In fact, at that time, the lord should have noticed that Lu Ren was strong in terms of shipping, and how much land and people he had in the open sea, we have always known nothing, and even we have always thought that Lu Ren in the open sea is just a few barren small counties. Maybe this was indeed the case with Lu Ren more than ten years ago, but what will be the situation in the small county more than ten years later? My lord, you have to think about Lu Ren's ability to govern the country on this issue. ”

Sun Quan still had a dark face, but this time he nodded unwillingly. Lu Su's words are right, a small county with only a few thousand people more than ten years ago, after more than ten years of steady development in Lu Ren's hands, will it still be a small county with only a few thousand people?

Lu Su glanced at the letter a few more times, and then said in a deep voice: "Gong Jin's letter makes it very clear, if the lord raises troops to attack Ren at the invitation of Cao Pi, he may be able to temporarily gain temporary benefits, but it is unlikely that he will destroy Lu Ren's foundation or destroy Lu Ren, then what will follow will be Lu Ren's all-out revenge." And at that time, Lu Ren's eyes will only be on Jiangdong, and at the same time, because the previous third-line situation is not there, he can concentrate all his forces to seek revenge against Jiangdong...... Lord, Lu Ren's soldiers and horses are not easy to mess with! ”

Then Lu Su pointed to the north again: "The most reasonable thing is this one, once Lu Ren seeks revenge against the lord with all his might, will Cao Pi still send troops to help the lord when he arrives?" It's good that he can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight without moving! And the biggest possibility can only be that Cao Pi took advantage of the war between the lord and Lu Ren to also send troops from the north to attack our Jiangdong. By that time, Koto was in danger! ”

Sun Quan was silent. After a long time, Sun Quan asked, "But this opportunity is really rare......

Lu Su hurriedly shook his head: "Don't you understand?" This opportunity is rare, but the most critical one is to make it difficult for Lu Ren to turn over, and Gong Jin's intention in sending this letter is to tell the lord that we can't make it difficult for Lu Ren to turn over. If we covet these short-term profits in front of us, we will only lay the root of the curse. ”

Sun Quan was silent again, then got up and paced back and forth in the hall. After turning around a few times, he picked up the letter written by Zhou Yu and read it carefully over and over again. After tossing back and forth like this for a long time, Sun Quan suddenly asked Lu Su: "Zijing, if you insist on sending troops, how will you stay?" ”

This time, Lu Su was silent. However, after being silent for a while, Lu Su came to Sun Quan to "bow to the ground", and said earnestly: "I will desperately advise the lord not to send troops." ”

Sun Quan smiled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Su up: "It's enough to have your words!" The officials were arguing endlessly, but Zijing didn't say a word, and Lone knew that it was not that you didn't want to argue, but that you were also hesitant about this matter like Lone. Zi Jing's talent is ten times better than Gu, and Zi Jing is now willing to say clearly, that is, he has made the right decision in his heart, why should he be so hesitant again? ”

Lu Su also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. In fact, with the friendship and mutual understanding between Lu Su and Zhou Yu, Lu Su knew that this soldier would never be able to come out when he saw the letter written by Zhou Yu, and the remaining question was only how to persuade Sun Quan. Now that Sun Quan obviously doesn't want to send troops, Lu Su will of course breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Sun Quan looked at the end of the letter again, but his brows were also furrowed very tightly: "Lu Ren Xu will divide Guiyang County into Gu after the matter of Cao Pi has subsided, Zijing, do you say this will be Lu Ren's plan to delay the army?" Guiyang is rich, and now Lu Ren promises to make this promise under the situation, but when things subside, where will this Lu Ren be afraid of loneliness? Can you get this land? ”

It's no wonder that Sun Quan is like this, this is all due to Liu Bei's previous borrowing of Jingzhou, and Lu Su is also a little helpless about it. To be honest, Zhou Yu came with such an obvious blackmail intention, Lu Ren would not be clear? After the matter calms down, it is entirely possible for Lu Ren, who is unhappy, to regret it.

In fact, at this time, Sun Quan and Lu Su both wanted to send someone to receive it in advance, but Zhou Yu's letter clearly stated that first of all, it was not easy to receive Guiyang County, and Sun Quan had to make some corresponding preparations; Secondly, Lu Ren at this time is quite sensitive, and Lu Ren has already made some corresponding preparations, tens of thousands of troops may withdraw from Central Asia at any time, so Sun Quan must not excessively stimulate Lu Ren at this time and make the situation worsen directly.

In the end, Zhou Yu also made it clear that Guiyang County is just a step for Lu Ren and Sun Quan, it is good to come, but it doesn't matter if you don't come, just don't fight. Moreover, if Lu Ren repents, it can actually provide Sun Quan with some favorable excuses for his diplomatic activities against Lu Ren in the future, and deal a blow to Lu Ren's prestige in Jiangdong.

It's just that then again, not letting such a bite of meat be eaten right away, which made Sun Quan's heart a little sour. Let's put it this way, Sun Quan has dreamed of expanding his power, and now that such a great opportunity has to be given up, he has to let Sun Quan drink some soup and water, right? Otherwise, Sun Quan's psychology is really difficult to balance.

was worried, and suddenly someone came to report that Lu Ren's envoy had arrived in Jianye and asked to see Sun Quan, which made Sun Quan and Lu Su stunned at that time, and said in their hearts, how could it be so coincidental?

Coincidentally, Zhou Yu is in Ceylon, and if the letter is to be delivered to Sun Quan's hand, it must pass through Lu Ren's hand, so the time of the letter and the envoy Xun Yu are calculated. In other words, it was to let Sun Quan read the letter before the envoy went over to speak.

Lu Ren's envoy officially asked for a meeting, and Sun Quan did not dare to slack off, so he immediately went to receive him according to the formal etiquette. When they saw someone, Sun Quan and Lu Su found out that it was an old acquaintance, Zhao Yu...... Although Zhao Yu is a girl, she is the number one diplomat under Lu Ren, although it is said that she is responsible for diplomatic activities with Cao Wei all the year round, but Sun Quan has really run here.

However, Sun Quan and Lu Su had a headache when they saw that it was Zhao Yu, because they had both learned how powerful Zhao Yu was, and they also sighed why all the strange women in this world ran to Lu Ren. These are actually problems with the concept of the times, and it doesn't make much sense to talk too much, but Sun Quan's side, or Cao, Liu, and Sun's three families have been more or less influenced by Lu Ren, and have opened some girls' schools in the country, and tried to let women with excellent grades take charge of some suitable jobs, and the effect is not bad.

These are not nonsense, after the formalities that should be taken and the politeness that should be said are done, Sun Quan asked Zhao Yu about his intentions. Zhao Yu was not ambiguous, and directly took out the map he was carrying and said, "Brother Gongjin's letter, Wu Hou must have read it, right?" ”

Seeing Sun Quan nodding, Zhao Yu picked up the map: "My father-in-law (Zhao Yu calls Lu Ren the lord on official occasions, and Mr. Lu in normal times) felt that it was a little insincere to divide Guiyang County to Wu Hou after the matter had subsided, so I decided to divide Guiyang into Wu Hou now." Here is a handwritten letter from the lord, and this map of Gyeyang County is also presented. As soon as Wu Hou received the officials of Guiyang County to Guiyang and completed the handover with the existing officials, the original officials of Guiyang would be evacuated. ”

As soon as these words came out, whether it was Sun Quan, Lu Su, or all the staff in the hall, they all stayed on the spot. The staff were stunned because they didn't know what Zhou Yu wrote to Sun Quan about, so they didn't understand what was going on when they heard that Lu Ren had drawn Guiyang to Sun Quan, and as for Sun Quan and Lu Su, they didn't expect Lu Ren to be so happy. Just now I was having a headache about how to eat this mouthful of meat in my stomach, so Lu Ren threw the meat out directly?

The hall was sluggish, and no one went to answer Zhao Yu's words. And Zhao Yu looked at the atmosphere, and couldn't help laughing softly: "Wu Hou is going to let the little girl present this picture with her own hands?" Aren't you afraid that the little girl will also learn from Jing Ke to make a picture of the poor dagger? ”

This was obviously a joke, and it made the hall laugh. Sun Quan came back to his senses and hurriedly asked his attendant to go to Zhao Yu to receive the map and letters. It's just that Sun Quan is certainly beautiful, but Lu Su, who was sitting next to him, seemed to think of something, and his face immediately changed a few times......
