Three Kingdoms: Starting from zero, a wealthy party

Chapter 203 The Eloquent Lu Su

Lu Su crossed the Yellow River and arrived in Liyang one day earlier than he expected. After inquiring about the town, he found out that Yuan Shao and Liu Bei's army had gone to Baima Pass.

Arriving at Baima Pass, entering the pass, and buying off Zhao Yun's soldiers outside his tent, under their arrangement, Lu Su met Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun went out to train early in the morning and was not in the tent. After Lu Su entered the tent, he found a seat and sat down consciously without touching anything in the tent.

After Zhao Yun came back from training, Lu Su came forward to greet him.

Zhao Yun's complexion changed when he saw Lu Su. The man in front of him was not wearing a thick coat like the people in the north, and his behavior was quite strange.

With a vigilant look on his face, he pulled out his sword from his waist, pointed at Lu Su and asked, "Who are you and why did you appear in my tent?"

"General, don't panic, I am the Jiangdong envoy, Lu Su, Lu Zijing."

People from Jiangdong?I don't know what he wants to do here, it's better to ask clearly.

Zhao Yun was also very polite, he cupped his hands and said, "May I ask this Jiangdong envoy, why did you come to Zhao Yun's tent?"

"General Su Wen is a famous general in the world. He is unparalleled in loyalty and bravery, and has outstanding martial arts skills. I came here to ask the general to help me deliver a message to your lord, saying that Jiangdong hopes to become an ally with Liu Bei and fight against Cao Cao together."

When Zhao Yun heard this, he was full of doubts. He didn't understand why Jiang Dong found his lord's head, but he couldn't be the master of such a thing, so he decided to go to Liu Bei's camp to report the matter to him and let the lord handle it.

"That gentleman is waiting here, let me report to my lord."

After Zhao Yun finished speaking, he walked out of his tent, came to Liu Bei's tent, and told him exactly what Lu Su said.

Liu Bei was very happy after hearing this. Last night, he was looking forward to an ally in his heart. He didn't expect that this ally would come as soon as he said it, but what did he mean? To resist Cao Cao together, is it possible that he wanted to take it from Cao Cao? Down some ground?
He followed Zhao Yun to his tent and met Lu Su.

Lu Su was very happy to see Liu Bei's arrival, put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "I'm here, Lu Su, I have met Uncle Liu Huang."

Liu Bei also bowed his hand in return.

After the two sat down, Liu Bei and Lu Su chatted.

"Zijing, why haven't I heard of your name?"

"To tell you the truth, Uncle Huang, this time I was entrusted by Zhou Yu to come here as an envoy to discuss with Uncle Liu Huang. It's just that there is no official position in the Jiangdong area, which makes Uncle Liu laugh."

Liu Bei was startled. He didn't expect Zhou Yu to invite him. He respected Lu Zi in front of him, and said slowly, "Zi Jing is modest. Since he was recommended by Zhou Yu, he must have some extraordinary skills. So, Zijing, please tell me why Sun Ce chose to form an alliance with me?"

"First, Uncle Huang's current army is located in the north of Guandu, Jiangdong Army is located in the south of Yangzhou, Cao Cao's territory is surrounded by the two armies, and there is no disadvantage in attacking from front to back."

"Second, I heard that Xuzhou City was acquired by the emperor's uncle after Tao Qian had no choice. The reputation of the emperor's benevolence and righteousness has spread all over the world, but now Xuzhou City is acquired by Cao thief. My lord hopes to help the emperor's uncle to take Xuzhou City Take it back."

"Thirdly, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao start a war, no matter who wins or loses, my lord can't sit idly by and watch one side become bigger and stronger. Presumably the emperor thinks so in his heart."

"Fourth, Uncle Huang lost a battle and his morale was low. Now he urgently needs to win a battle to restore morale and replenish his troops."

"Fifth, looking at the princes of the world, Han Yang's Xiliang is too far away, and Han Yang obviously rejected my lord's kindness; Yuan Shao has no time to be distracted now, and concentrates on resisting Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao is very clear about his movements; Cao Cao formed an alliance and fought a battle with me in Jiangdong, losing Wancheng, so the ally can't do it at all; Zhang Lu is fighting against Liu Zhang, and secretly formed an alliance with Cao Cao, only one step is the most suitable."

After hearing all the opinions, Liu Bei was taken aback. He didn't expect such a small man in front of him to say so many flamboyant truths. In his heart, he agreed with Zhou Yu's vision, and even admired Zhou Yu's vision for discovering this talent.

He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "I am powerless to refute what you just said. Looking at it now, I am indeed the best ally for Jiangdong. Can you analyze it for me, Mr. Jiangdong?" Is it the best ally for me?"

Lu Su lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "First, Jiangdong's geographical location will not make the emperor feel isolated and helpless after he takes Xuzhou City."

"Secondly, Uncle Huang must be very unwilling to lose Xuzhou, which Tao Qian begged so hard to present as a gift, but his current strength is definitely not Cao Jun's opponent, and he will continue to ask for help from other forces."

"Thirdly, in today's world, the emperor's uncle's power is said to be big or small, but there is no place to shelter. Presumably the emperor's heart is also very anxious about this, hoping to find a place for the soldiers .”

"Fourth, for Uncle Huang, continuing to follow Yuan Shao will definitely not be a long-term solution. Moreover, Uncle Huang's military strength is incomplete, and staying in the army will only be cannon fodder for the confrontation before the battlefield."

"Fifth, after the fourth point, the emperor's uncle must also be looking for an ally. Yuan Shao gave up. Cao Cao took the emperor's uncle's Xuzhou, and the emperor's uncle has already stood on the opposite side, and it is impossible to become an ally; Liu Zhang and the emperor's uncle are both If the royal family members and uncles go to Yizhou, they will definitely receive warm hospitality from Liu Zhang.

But after Han Yang's attack on Luoyang City, Liu Zhang and Cao Cao became allies and stood on the same front. If the emperor's uncle went to Yizhou, Liu Zhang's position would be very embarrassing. Presumably, the emperor would not want to see such a situation; Lu and Liu Zhang are both enemies, but Cao Cao is an ally, so you can skip it directly;

Han Yang may be the right candidate in the emperor's uncle's heart, and he also showed enough sincerity to rescue his second brother Guan Yu. He is the biggest enemy of the alliance between my Jiangdong and the emperor's uncle. A good choice, although he became an enemy with Liu Zhang, but that was only what happened later. Jiang Dong and Uncle Huang have a common enemy, that is Cao Cao. "

"However, the envoys from Jiangdong found the emperor's uncle before the envoys from Hanyang. Perhaps in Han Yang's heart, saving Guan Yu was a matter of little effort, or Guan Yu was kind to Han Yang back then, and Han Yang just repaid him. I don't know, but one thing is certain, Han Yang looks down on the power of the emperor's uncle, but in Jiang Dong's eyes, the emperor's uncle is a companion who can be a loyal ally, please think about it."
