Wang Yu's concerns are justified.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there were monstrous waves between Jianghuai and Xu Si, and Zhou Yu, who should be in Jiangdu, appeared in Linhuai Dongcheng, which was hundreds of miles away.

"Zijing should know that although Qingzhou is strong, it is the target of everyone after all. Liu Yu in Youzhou must not be easy to comply, and he is restrained by Yuan Shao's old ministry in Bingzhou, Hanoi, and Cao Cao in the Central Plains is also a famous general who has experienced a hundred battles. ”

Zhou Yu's tone was not hurried or slow, and his voice was not loud, but between his eloquent conversations, he had a strong persuasive power.

"Now that Ji Ling and Cao Bao are fighting endlessly, and smoke is rising between Huaisi, how can Qingzhou sit idly by? In Yu's opinion, Wang Pengju is bound to take advantage of this opportunity to plot against Xuzhou, so that Qingzhou's power will be divided into three parts. The use of soldiers is expensive in fine and specialized, Qingzhou is divided into four places, no matter how strong its strength is, what can it be? ”

"As long as you can't concentrate your strength, the surrounding areas of Qingzhou will not be able to settle down quickly, Cao Cao and Liu Yu have their own abilities, as long as Wang Yu is a little negligent, it will inevitably be a crisis. What's more, the Central Plains has been in turmoil for a long time, and production and cultivation in various places have been seriously damaged. The heroes are chasing the deer, and it is not yet clear who will kill the deer. ”

"Although Bo Fu is also very young, but the place of courage and heroism is not under Wang Pengju, but he has not been able to get it, so he is one step behind, and it is not a crime of war. Now our army has more than 10,000 people in Jiangdu, the ferries are complete, and there is Uncle Wu Jing in Jiangdong to lead the crowd to respond, as long as we invite the heroes and junyan in the Jiangbiao area, including Zijingxiong, to join, why worry about the big thing? ”

Zhou Yu's analysis was very incisive and sincere, but the young man opposite him just shook his head and smiled bitterly. After he finished speaking, he spread his hands and said, "Gong Jin, why don't you understand?" I refused your invitation and insisted on going to Qingzhou, not because of the situation in the Central Plains, but because I promised first, how could I regret it halfway? ”

He didn't wait for Zhou Yu to say more, and quickly continued: "Wang Hussar sent people to find me, long before the year. After that, the messenger came to the door, and the etiquette was also extremely thoughtful, and there was no urge to be impatient. Gong Jin said before, saying that he had a reason with General Bofu and wanted to stand by. Su is also thinking about helping him succeed, but how can the hussar general be so gracious, it is difficult to push away. ”

Lu Su never dreamed that he would become so sought-after one day.

After Yuan Shu was stationed in Huainan, he sent people to the door to ask Lu Su to become an official. Govern the place. However, Yuan Shu was very stingy, and only gave him the position of county magistrate, which was one level lower than the county order, although Lu Su did not refuse. But he didn't mean to regard Yuan Shu as a lord in this regard.

Lu Su is a character who is not willing to be lonely, of course, he will not have no ideas at all, and be content with the status quo.

Zhou Yu, a friend I made before, is a big ambition, every time I come to visit. will discuss some general trends in the world, and the two reached a consensus on the difficulty of reviving the Han family. They all believe that now is the time for heroes to use force. However, on the specific trend of the world, the two have disagreements.

Zhou Yu is very determined to assist Sun Ce, but his sworn brother has been sending people under the fence, and for now, there is no future to talk about. However, Wujun, the foundation of the Sun family, Jiangdong has experienced fewer wars, and the foundation is not bad, as long as you wait for the opportunity, you are still expected to divide one side.

However, that's all, Lu Su believes that the focus of the competition for the world is still in the north and the Central Plains. The population of Jiangdong is too small, and even if the food supply is relatively sufficient, it is congenitally disadvantageous in terms of competing for the world. If you want to succeed, you can only expect the strong men in the north to make mistakes themselves.

Of course, Lu Su is a very chivalrous person, and he will not refuse a friend's kind invitation because his future is uncertain. Although the Central Plains is more important, he doesn't have any connections in the north, but he has a large family in Dongcheng, so it is impossible to just run headlong into it.

Unexpectedly, the envoy of Qingzhou appeared so suddenly. Not only did he solemnly invite him, but he also came to the door many times with great sincerity. After all, Lu Su was just a young man, somewhat vanity, and being so sought after by Wang Yu's envoy would of course be shaken, so he agreed to it.

After agreeing, he heard the rumors, it turned out that this unique and sudden way of inviting was the characteristic of Qingzhou, that is, the so-called hussar list.

As a result, Lu Su was a little more curious about Qingzhou and the hussar general who had heard of the famous name for a long time but had never met, and then made a commitment to Qingzhou.

One accident is often followed by another, just when he made up his mind and began to pack his bags and prepare to go to Qingzhou, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu suddenly launched and set off a storm in Xuzhou.

After getting the news through the mobilization of the Huainan Army, Lu Su was also surprised for a while, and while sighing at Zhou Yu's foresight, he packed his bags. thought that Zhou Yu was far away in Jiangdu, and he shouldn't think of himself anymore, who thought that in the end, he still couldn't escape this dilemma.

If Sun Ce wants to cross the river, he must rush before Liu Miao reacts, and once Liu Miao reacts, he will arrange a defensive line along the river, and it will be difficult to break through with Sun Ce's thousands of soldiers and horses. If he can't break through the Jiang defense, Sun Ce will not be able to join Wu Jing and other Sun family's relatives and old departments, so time is very tight.

But at such a juncture, Zhou Yu took a huge risk and traveled three hundred miles to Dongcheng to see him, and it was impossible not to be moved.

After some careful consideration, Lu Su decided that according to the principle of priority, since he had promised Qingzhou, he could not break his promise.

Zhou Yu's hard persuasion was fruitless, and suddenly his expression froze, he sat upright, and said solemnly: "Zijing doesn't know, the celebrities in Xuzhou have been dissatisfied with Tao Gongzu for a long time, plus the scruples about Qingzhou, many people secretly communicate with our army, and Bo Fu even visited several of them and was recognized by the other party. ”

He said earnestly: "Now that there are only a few thousand Bo Fu soldiers, they have such appeal, and when they reach Jiangdong, they will return to the sea like a dragon." If Zijing changes his mind at that time, I'm afraid it will be too late, Yu said from the bottom of his heart, Zijing should be cautious! ”

"If Zijing must go, it doesn't matter. When Yu went back this time, he would explain to Bo Fu that Zijing went to Qingzhou to find out the truth and prepare for the future. Only you, me, and Bofu know about this matter, and if Zijing went to Qingzhou, the consequences were unsatisfactory. That's it; Otherwise, the news will not come out, and Zijing's future will not be ruined, how about it? ”

Zhou Yu's enthusiasm and persistence made Lu Su both moved and embarrassed. But stepping on two boats really doesn't match his style.

Frowning and thinking for a moment, Lu Su suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the two large granaries outside. Said categorically: "The army can't go without food for a day, General Bo Fu swept Guangling in three days, gathered tens of thousands of people, the expedition is imminent, and the grain and grass must be insufficient." There is still some grain in the Su family, this warehouse is 3,000 Hu, and both warehouses are given to Gong Jin, in order to strengthen the shape, it can be regarded as the friendship of you and my friend, how about it? ”

Zhou Yu wanted to speak and stopped.

6,000 pieces of grain is not much, and it is enough for 10,000 people to eat for ten days. Previously, Zhou Yu tried his best. Moving between the two major forces of Xuzhou and Huainan, playing with heartbeats, in order to provoke Yuan Shu to start a war with Xuzhou, and had no time to deal with Sun Ce, who defected. But it's not just to raise more food.

In troubled times, the desire for food is endless, not to mention Sun Ce, who has just started and has an uncertain future?

Lu Su's generous gift is not insignificant. With Zhou Yu's collar of knowing the elegance of the string song, I don't know where I am. Things are irretrievable?

He was puzzled and depressed. What is puzzling is that after Lu Su is obviously also a family, why is there no rejection of Qingzhou at all?

You must know that in Pengcheng before, he came forward and said that Zhang Zhao had been moved; After Bo Fu arrived in Jiangdu, he said that Zhang Hong was devoted to assisting. The rest of the heroes who secretly communicated with Sun Cejun were even more extraordinary, and their reputations were more than those of the people in front of them, but only Lu Su was dead-eyed, and he refused to even agree to leave a way back for himself.

Speaking of which, he had nothing more to insist on, shook his head and stood up, and sighed: "In this case, Yu Dai Bofu and the soldiers of the whole army, thank you Zijing for your kindness." ”

Lu Su got up to say thank you, sent Zhou Yu out all the way, and said that the granary handover was good, and it seemed that neither side was affected much.

However, when Zhou Yu went out, when Lu Su turned around, his solemn face startled the servants.

"Sir?" The butler asked boldly.

"Quick, let everyone get in the car, and bring nothing but soft and dry food! Get out of the East Side now! ”

"Sir?" The housekeeper was frightened, not only because of Lu Su's solemn expression, but also because of the meaning revealed in his words.

"Zhou Gongjin is elegant and elegant, and when he interacts with him, he often makes people drunk unconsciously, and he has the style of an ancient gentleman. However, this person has a clear distinction between public and private, and is rarely confused by private feelings. Treat the people he values, as a friend, he will sincerely invite, and it is difficult to refuse; But if there is a clear distinction between friend and foe, how can he be tolerant? ”

Lu Su hurriedly said: "Sun Ce's courage is better than his father, because General Sun said an emotional word that day, he regarded the hussar general as a lifelong enemy. Gongjin has a good relationship with him, and he has known his ambition for a long time, how can he easily let a certain person go north and enhance the strength of Qingzhou? If what I expected is right, in a few moments and three, the pursuers will come! ”

Lu Su said solemnly, and the housekeeper couldn't help but get nervous, but he still reminded as much as he could: "But master, General Sun's soldiers and horses are all ......."

"Where can I use Jiangdu's soldiers and horses," Lu Su shook his head: "Do you think that Zhou Gongjin is left and right, relying only on wit and eloquence?" In the Huainan Army, there are many old descendants of the Sun family, and it is not easy to take it on behalf of Yuan Highway, so why is it difficult to hunt down and kill the more than 100 people of my Lu family? Needless to say, get ready and set off right away. ”

"Old man......" The housekeeper knew that the situation was urgent, but his duty was not to be avoided, and he persevered and persuaded: "Wang Hussar and General Yuan are allies, so it should not embarrass us, it is better to go directly to the general's mansion to seek refuge, isn't it safer?" ”

"Who am I? Is there any reason to take refuge in others? It's not to be underestimated, don't be verbose, go quickly, go quickly! If the chasing soldiers come, they have their own strategy to retreat from the enemy! ”

The housekeeper was helpless and went with a sigh.

He really doesn't understand this son who has seen him since he was a child. Since there is a clear distinction between friend and foe, it is necessary to distinguish between public and private, so why give food to each other? Whether it will leave a handle for the future is a trivial matter, and in terms of the current situation, isn't it easier to give food to Yuan Shu and get out?

What's more, since you know Zhou Yu's temper, you shouldn't let him go easily just now, even if it's good to take him hostage?

In fact, from the housekeeper's point of view, the easiest way is to promise Zhou Yu with a false promise, expressing his willingness to step on two boats or something. Anyway, it's a secret discussion in private, only God knows, and if you regret it in the future, who can come to find the account?

Serving such a family master with a full personality is really not an ordinary hard work, and it is frightening.
