Just when the princes of the world were sideways to the news that Liu Fengshui's army had driven straight into Jiangdong, a month had passed in a flash.

In the courtyard of Lu Su's house that was temporarily placed, Lu Su gently clasped his hands and walked back and forth in the courtyard with an anxious expression.

The frequent training of the Xiakou Water Army, and the news of another expedition had reached Lu Su's ears. He first confirmed the accuracy of the information.

After reaching a conclusion, he immediately sent an entourage to report to Sun Quan.

Just yesterday, the entourage brought back Sun Quan's order to ease relations with Jiang Xia at any cost.

Lu Su knew that he knew that Jiangdong was now in a weak position and had a request for help.

At this time, the assembly of Xiakou's army may have been a smoke bomb sent by Liu Feng. But Koto can't afford to lose.

Liu Feng was able to crusade against Jiangdong once, which proved that he had no scruples. It's not impossible to do it again.

Therefore, although Lu Su knew that it might be a smoke bomb, he still couldn't help but be anxious.

Sun Quan's reply to the message, although it gave him great rights. But it is not the right to settle the situation now.

He can't even see Liu Feng's face now, how can he talk about easing the relationship between Jiangdong and Jiangxia?

remembered that a month ago, Jiang Wan said that Liu Feng would not return until January or February. This February is too much.

It's been a month now, and if Liu Feng is still a month, it will take another month to return to Jiangxia. Maybe Gan Ning's sailors have already left Xiakou.

"Ridiculous." Unexpectedly, in Jiangdong, which is known as the number one water army, there will be a day when he is afraid of the opponent's water army.

This change in perception is also too fast.

Lu Su had a ridiculous feeling in his heart.

But what seems ridiculous did happen, and it happened in just a few months.

No, you must find a way to meet Liu Feng. Lu Su stopped and made up his mind.

"Come on, set up the frame, and go to Jiangxia Taishou Mansion." Lu Su shouted outside.

A moment later, a carriage stood outside the mansion with more than a dozen attendants. Lu Su, who had changed his clothes, boarded the carriage.

The carriage slowly headed towards the Taishou Mansion.

Since the beginning of this month, Lu Su has gone to the Taishou Mansion every three days to ask for news, and now he has to ask almost every day.

Of course, Lu Su knew that it might be useless to do this, Liu Feng didn't see you, he didn't see you. You can't help Liu Feng.

But Lu Su still ran back and forth tirelessly. I hope that one day Liu Feng will be in a good mood and will be able to see him.

Soon, the carriage arrived outside the gate of the Taishou Mansion.

asked the guard in front of the door and learned that Jiang Wan was handling official business in the study. Lu Su didn't need to report it, and walked in directly.

It has only been a month since he lived in Jiangxia, but he has come to Taishou Mansion no less than twenty times. Lu Su already had a familiar face.

In the study, Jiang Wan was handling official business.

Dressed in formal clothes, buried at the desk.

"Oh. Zijing is here. Hearing footsteps outside the door, Jiang Wan raised his head to look. Seeing that the person who came was Lu Su, he smiled and said.

He secretly looked at Lu Su, and the anxiety in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

Jiang Wan noticed that Lu Su had been a lot more anxious recently, but there was no schadenfreude or sympathy in his heart. If Jiang Xia was in Jiangdong's position now, he would be the one who was anxious.

Seeing Jiang Wan's greeting with a faint happy expression, Lu Su had an urge to kill the past with a sword in his heart. Lu Su was not a weak literati, on the contrary, he had a good swordsmanship.

And these days, Lu Su comes every day, and Jiang Wan is smiling like this. Seeing Jiang Wan, Lu Su felt that his mood would be even more anxious.

But Lu Su had to squeeze out a smile and asked: "At the beginning, Gongyan once said that General Liu strengthened the river in Changsha and could return it in January or February. Now that January has passed, I wonder if the general has returned? ”

Maybe he was used to it, but when he said this, Lu Su didn't think that Jiang Wan would reply to him that Liu Feng had returned.

Lu Su was ready to rip off.

But very unexpectedly, Jiang Wan said with a smile: "Zi Jing came by coincidence." The lord returned to Xiling half a day ago, and is currently in the general's mansion. ”

This month, Liu Fenglian Yang Wu's Mansion took a step. Jiang Wan's words are pure nonsense.

But Lu Su doesn't care about this, as long as he can see Liu Feng.

After a little flurging, Lu Su immediately said with great joy: "Please also ask Gongyan to take me to see General Liu." ”

"Not necessarily." Jiang Wan smiled slightly and said, "The purpose of Zijing's coming here, roughly speaking, I have already reported it to the lord. Zijing only needs to go to the General's Mansion to meet the lord. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Wan raised his head and shouted outside the door: "Come on, take Mr. Zijing to the General's Mansion." ”

"No." With a promise, one of the guards walked in.

"Mr. Zijing, please." After coming in, the guards first bowed to Jiang Wan, and then respectfully said to Lu Su.

"Thank you, Gongyan." Lu Su bowed deeply to Jiang Wan, and then followed the guard out of the study.

Lu Su's worship, Jiang Wan accepted it calmly. If he hadn't told Liu Feng that he had been hanging Lu Su for a month, it would be time to deal with the relationship between the two families.

Liu Feng thought about it for a moment and saw Lu Su's.

Otherwise, according to Liu Feng's words, it can be delayed for one day.

"Those who know the times are Junjie. I hope Zijing can agree to the lord's conditions. Jiang Wan smiled slightly in the direction of the gate and said.

Outside the door, Lu Su was in a mood again.

It's been a month, in an anxious situation, it's been a month of waiting. I was finally able to see Liu Feng.

Lu Su could barely hide his excitement for a while.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage that Lu Su's mood swings slowly calmed down.

Seeing Liu Feng is only the starting point, but it does not mean that the goal will be achieved. Lu Su knows this very well. Taking a deep breath, Lu Su calmed himself down completely.

Close your eyes and refresh yourself.

Soon, the carriage came to the gate of the General's Palace. With the escort sent by Jiang Wan leading the way, Lu Su also entered the General's Mansion smoothly.

This mansion is also familiar to Lu Su. Last time I was here. Last time, it was Taishou Mansion, but now it is General Yang Wu's Mansion.

It's just that compared with the ease last time, Lu Su has experienced what it means to be difficult this time.

I also attach more importance to this opportunity, and no matter what kind of cold words I face, I will also accomplish the goal of this mission.

With such a belief, Lu Su walked into the study.

"Foreign Minister Lu Su, I have seen General Liu." As soon as he entered the study, Lu Su greeted the white figure kneeling in front of him.

This white figure is naturally Liu Feng.

He said that he was wearing a milky white robe, and he didn't wear a crown on his head, but he just tied a cloth scarf, and his expression was relatively light.

When Lu Su came in, he was looking at a roll of bamboo slips.

"Hmm." Liu Feng snorted lightly. He put down the bamboo slip in his hand.

You must know that Liu Feng was very enthusiastic about Lu Su last time, Lu Zijing, an advocate of the Sun-Liu Alliance.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su were the two people who led the Jiangdong forces to resist Cao Ying's attack and repelled Cao Ying.

But at that time, Liu Feng didn't pay attention to it, and foresaw that the relationship with Sun Quan would come to this point. Now the two sides are already like fire and water.

Lu Su was also running around for Wu Hou Sun Quan, and Liu Feng was naturally no longer polite to him.

Lu Su has traveled extensively, but he has never encountered the current situation.

As a host, no matter how unpleasant people are, they must have a few words of false greetings. And Liu Feng is good, his expression is faint, and he has no enthusiasm at all.

Compared to the last time we met, it was a difference.

Looking at Liu Feng's dress, he has a strong homely atmosphere. It's not at all like what you should wear for formal diplomatic occasions.

Lu Su's heart was not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

But who called them weak this time. Moreover, he first provoked a war and put on a posture of bullying the weak. Waiting to see Liu Feng's joke, the situation turned out to be diametrically opposite. They were defeated.

It's really self-inflicted, and I can't complain about it.

Therefore, Lu Su felt uncomfortable for a while, and then calmed down.

A smile appeared on his face, and he said, "The foreign minister's intention, I think General Liu already knows." I wonder what General Liu thinks? ”

Jiang Wan said in generality. I only know a little bit about it, and I don't know the subtleties. Trouble Mr. Zijing to say it again. Liu Feng raised his head and glanced at Lu Su officially.

There was no intention of letting Lu Su sit down, just said casually.

Lu Su didn't care, seeing Liu Feng's attitude, he already knew that there was no good fruit for him to eat this time.

"Of the sea ships sent by General Liu to Liaodong, we seized ten. Five of them, as well as most of their entourage, were returned to the general. But the other five were sunk at sea. Wu Hou knew that the ship was rare, and the gold and silver things were not looked down upon by the general. Therefore, Wu Hou was willing to make up for these five sea ships with twenty skilled shipwrights. These days, Lu Su is thinking about these things, so the words are very smooth.

Speaking of this, Lu Su paused, raised his head and looked at Liu Feng sincerely: "As for the matter of the waterway, Wu Hou has also agreed, and the two sides will share, from now on, Jiangdong will not stop Jiangxia's ships." ”

Honestly, the price is reasonable.

Those twenty skilled shipwrights were enough to build one or two hundred seagoing ships in their lifetime.

But who said that Liu Feng's side is now in full swing, while Jiangdong's side is weak.

Moreover, who told Liu Feng to hate Jiangdong and be domineering.

If it had been placed before the war, the price would have been very reasonable. But now.

"The sharing of waterways is indeed the minimum condition." Liu Feng nodded and said with a smile.

This smile really made Lu Su's heart flutter. Coldness, from coldness to smile, this is a good transition.

But the next moment, Lu Su's heart tugged again.

"It's just that the one in front makes up for Jiang Xia's losses. Sir only mentioned a part of my Jiangxia loss, which is irritating. Liu Feng's eyes flashed with some coldness, and said.

It's been a month, but it reminds Liu Feng of something. A thing that can blackmail Jiangdong with a high-sounding sound.

"Here we are." Lu Su's heart jumped, but he knew that the time for trouble had come. I couldn't help but cheer up my spirit, and asked carefully: "As far as the foreign minister knows, Jiangxia's loss is only five warships. Why did General Liu say that the five warships were part of it? ”

Indeed, Lu Su couldn't figure out this question.

But the gentleman forgot. Our merchant ship has returned, and there are sixty searches. Because you, Jiangdong, have seized ten of my warships, so that the remaining fifty have to take refuge at sea. I recently got the news that they are all sinking. Isn't this loss on your Jiangdong? Liu Feng sneered when he heard this.

Anyway, those 50 warships should be in Taiwan now, and if Taiwan continues to blockade, the Jiangdong gang will never know that those 50 seagoing ships are still doing well at sea.

They will only think that it is sunk.

Originally, this sinking is not sinking Kankoto. But now Jiangdong's gang is bent on seeking peace, and Liu Feng has made this matter a high-sounding one.

Push all the blame on Koto.

Liu Feng knew that if Lu Su wanted to make peace, he had to parry.

Sure enough, Liu Feng saw a trace of deep anger in Lu Su's eyes. Lu Su was also a tough person, and he could be like Jiang Wan, without saying a word, he just brushed his sleeves and left.

But now it can't, Jiangdong has no advantage, no hole cards.

Therefore, this trace of anger in Lu Su's eyes was quickly hidden. If it weren't for Liu Feng's sharp eyes and staring at Lu Su deadly, he would definitely not have noticed it.

Lu Su remembered Sun Quan's order to suspend relations with Jiang Xia at all costs. He took a deep breath and raised his fist and said, "I don't know if General Liu has any suggestions?" ”

This time he really tore his face, and Lu Su didn't even keep a smile, he was just as cold as Liu Feng.

"I'll have to do the math." Liu Feng smiled slightly and said. "These fifty warships, Sun Quan was very generous before, five ships are twenty shipwrights, and I don't want him two hundred shipwrights for these fifty ships. I'll ask for a hundred boatmen. ”

"The rest of the sailors who accompanied him." Saying that, Liu Feng frowned and said, "Sir also knows that it is not easy to recruit sailors, especially experienced sailors who dare to enter the sea. I don't want much, just a thousand gold. In addition, the settling-in allowance for these sailors will also be paid by you, and it will be a thousand gold. ”

"This, plus the more than 1,600 war horses on board, according to the market price, will also cost 18,000 gold. It adds up to just 20,000 gold. Saying that, Liu Feng raised his head, looked at Lu Su with an ugly face, smiled, and said, "I don't know if Mr. thinks my algorithm is wrong?" ”

Lu Su's face was not only ugly, it was simply black and scary.

Liu Feng: This is pure blackmail. Hundreds of sailors actually cost two thousand gold. What can you do with 2,000 gold? You can buy fifty or sixty thousand stone of grain, what a concept.

Able to feed 10,000 troops for twenty months.

Steed? That's right, the war horse in Jiangdong is about eleven gold each, and it is not the kind of high-grade war horse. Liu Feng's calculation of 18,000 gold is very reasonable.

Seems reasonable. But Liu Feng came directly from Liaodong to sell horses.

Lu Su dared to assert that the cost would not exceed the hardware. In the blink of an eye, Jiangdong will be exploited twice as much profit. Annihilation of merchants, and also of annihilation merchants.

In addition, a hundred shipwrights are even more open-mouthed.

There are only six or seven hundred shipwrights in the entire Jiangdong, but Liu Fengyi asked for one hundred, which is almost one-sixth of the shipwrights in Jiangdong.

After the first battle of the naval army, Jiangdong's warships suffered a lot of losses. Sun Quan also counted on this group of shipwrights to hurry up the construction of warships.

Besides, if you send a hundred shipwrights, you will definitely have to drag your family with you. At least one or two thousand people should be sent.

This knife is ruthless enough, Lu Su's face is not ugly.
