Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Chapter 471: Lu Su meets Zhou Yu

Yangzhou, Wuxian.

Sun Quan's face was as cold as water and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

The fingertips of Sun Quan's hand holding the sword were white, veins were exposed, and his face was distorted, looking very ferocious.

Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan, who looked pale, and whispered, "My lord, this matter is of great importance. Please be patient. Let's discuss the future of Jiangdong carefully."

Sun Quan slowly regained his composure. He took his fingers off the sword, put his hands in his sleeves, and slowly asked, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think should be done about this?"

Zhang Zhao pondered for a while, then slowly said, "In my humble opinion, Emperor Liu has just defeated Yuan Shao and his army is at full strength. Jiangdong must not engage in a head-on confrontation with him."

Sun Quan was somewhat unhappy when he heard this, but he still patiently asked, "According to Master Zhang, do you want to send Sun Shao to Luoyang as a hostage?"

"Although this is a dilemma, this is the only way to go. Emperor Liu is known for his generosity, and Sun Shao will certainly not be blamed when he arrives in Luoyang."

Sun Quan said slowly: "My elder brother passed on the Jiangdong foundation to me in the hope that I could develop and expand it. Now, not only have I not accomplished anything, but I have also sent his youngest son to Luoyang. This is unacceptable both morally and rationally.

If I really did this for the so-called Jiangdong foundation, my father and brother in heaven would certainly be ashamed of me!"

Zhang Zhao said: "Uncle Liu is acting in accordance with the emperor's edict. The emperor allowed the sons of princes to live in Luoyang. This has been a precedent since ancient times, so it is not a shame.

What we have to do now is to make Jiangdong accept this matter calmly. Only in this way can we help the lord pacify Jiangdong as soon as possible.

My Lord, have you ever thought about this? The more stable your position in Jiangdong is, the safer Master Shao will be. "

Sun Quan was in a state of confusion and could not make a decision. He was silent for a moment and could only say angrily, "Let me think about this matter and then make a decision. Mr. Zhang, go back and have a rest first."

Zhang Zhao bowed and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and said, "Lu Su is an old friend of Gongjin. It is obvious that Liu Huangshu sent him to Jiangdong to show goodwill. Regardless of public or private matters, this person should not be neglected."

"Since he is Gongjin's good friend, you should treat him well and not be rude or make Gongjin unhappy."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will do it right away."

After Zhang Zhao left, Sun Quan could not calm down for a long time. What Zhang Zhao said made some sense. Letting Sun Shao go to Luoyang was indeed the best choice.

But even if I agree to this matter, I'm sure Zhou Yu will not agree.

Zhou Yu had a deep relationship with his eldest brother, which was far beyond what anyone else could match. In Zhou Yu's eyes, Sun Shao was no different from his own son.

Thinking of Zhou Yu, Sun Quan thought of that sentence without Madam Wu reminding him.

If you have any questions about internal affairs, ask Zhang Zhao. If you have any questions about external affairs, ask Zhou Yu!

"Come here, quickly ask Gongjin to return to Wu County to discuss matters."

……

……

Lu Su had been living in the inn arranged by Zhang Zhao for several days. He was looking at the prosperous scene in the courtyard and was lost in thought.

He thought that after Sun Quan knew the above content, he would be furious and would at least drive him out of the territory even if he didn't kill him.

He didn't expect that not only did Sun Quan not say a word of resentment, but he also let Zhang Zhao accommodate him well in the inn.

Judging from the courtesy I have received in the inn so far, it is obvious that I am being treated as a distinguished guest.

Sun Quan is so young, yet he can control his unreasonable anger. He is no ordinary man!

Emperor Liu's ability to foresee opportunities was very accurate. If this person was really allowed to operate in Jiangdong for a period of time, Jiangdong might become a major concern for Emperor Liu.

While he was pondering, a voice shouted loudly.

"Zi Jing, you have been so ungrateful since you joined Uncle Liu! We haven't seen each other for a long time, and you give me such a big problem as soon as we meet. How should I deal with it? Please teach me, Zi Jing?"

As soon as the voice fell, a handsome young man in armor appeared in front of Lu Su. Lu Su saw that his face was slightly dusty, and it was obvious that he had traveled a long way and had just returned to Wu County.

"Gongjin was a genius at that time. I am not very knowledgeable and have no ability to teach him."

Zhou Yu chuckled, sat cross-legged in front of Lu Su, picked up a glass of wine, took a sip and said, "I know Zijing's talent. His foresight and vision are his specialties.

Now, Uncle Liu has disregarded morality and sent Master Shao to Luoyang as a hostage. Zijing, what should Jiangdong do? "

Lu Su said calmly: "I see a murderous look on Gongjin's face. I think he has already made up his mind. I just don't know if Gongjin is sure of winning the battle with Emperor Liu."

Zhou Yu said: "Nothing can be hidden from Zi Jing's eyes. Before I met Zi Jing, I was only 40% sure, but now I am 70% sure."

"Seventy percent? Gongjin's words puzzle me. Can I, Lu Su, increase your chances by 30 percent out of thin air?"

"At least 30%. Zijing is a great talent of the time. How can it be impossible to increase the chances of winning by 30%?"

Lu Su became more and more confused by Zhou Yu's words. Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Although my master is young, he has the potential to be a great leader. I would like to ask Zi Jing to join Jiangdong. The two of us can deal with Uncle Liu together. Although Uncle Liu is very smart, he can hardly resist the joint attack of the two of us."

Lu Su laughed and said, "Gong Jin, you are joking. Uncle Liu has treated me well. How can I betray him for no reason?"

"With Zijing's talent, it wouldn't be difficult for you to govern a country. But Uncle Liu actually placed you in a mere Jiujiang County. With such an arrangement, how can you say that he treats you well?"

"Although Jiujiang County is a small place, it is very important. Uncle Liu placed me here for a very deep purpose. I have already made this clear to me."

"Oh?" Zhou Yu was a little surprised. He obviously didn't expect that Liu Yu would have this move. He only pondered for a moment and understood the key. "Could it be that Uncle Liu placed Zi Jing in Jiujiang to deal with Jiangdong?"

"That's right." Lu Su did not hide anything, but told him frankly, "Uncle Liu said that day that Sun Ce would be assassinated.

After Sun Ce's death, his younger brother Sun Quan would become the lord of Jiangdong.

He will have to fight with Jiangdong, and this battle will determine whether the Han Dynasty can be reunited. If he wins, the Han Dynasty will be revived. If he loses, the Han Dynasty can only dominate the north and look for another opportunity. "

Lu Su's words shocked Zhou Yu. Is Uncle Liu a human or a monster?

Zhou Yu clearly remembered that when Liu Yu recruited Lu Su, he had just defeated Yuan Shu and occupied Jiujiang.

At that time, there was Lu Bu in Xuzhou in the north, Cao Cao in Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao dominated four states.

In such a context, he predicted that today's battle with Jiangdong might indicate that, in Liu Bei's mind, no matter whether it was Lu Bu, Cao Cao or Yuan Shao, they had no chance of winning and the north would inevitably be reunified in his hands.
