Looking at the resplendent and prosperous Shouchun in front of him, Lu Su was filled with emotion.Without this great war, he believed that within a few years, Jiangdong would have such a prosperous place.

But after this great war, all the prosperity of the past was in vain.The loss of soldiers, the emptiness of the treasury, the decline of merchants, the loss of population, and the waiting of all industries, some people estimate that it will take decades for Jiangdong to fully recover.

After thinking about it, the carriage had already reached the gate of the prefect's mansion.

After tidying up his clothes, Lu Su set foot on this land again with worries in his heart.

After handing in the post, after waiting for half an hour, a person came out of the mansion in a huff.

"These servants are really ignorant. Zi Jing came from a long way and didn't tell me earlier. Forgive me, forgive me."

Although it was Lu Su's first visit to Shouchun, Cao Anmin's subordinates had been investigated clearly on the way here.The shining bald head in front of him is none other than Cao Anmin's minister, Jiujiang Changshi Yao Guangxiao.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm a little tired after traveling so far, so I can take this opportunity to take a nap, and I'll recover a lot of energy."

A gleam flashed in Yao Guangxiao's eyes, and the way he looked at Lu Su also changed.Before leaving, Cao Anmin specially asked him to be wary of Lu Su's image of a good old man.I deliberately had a difficult tone, but I didn't expect the other party to easily resolve the embarrassment.

"Zijing, please enter the house quickly." Yao Guangxiao personally led the way ahead.

"I don't know if your lord is in the house, but Marquis Wu is really thinking about his brother. Seeing that it's approaching the Spring Festival, he urgently ordered me to come here in a hurry to discuss peace talks."

Yao Guangxiao slapped his forehead suddenly, and said regretfully, "Zijing, it's too unfortunate that you came here. My lord just went to Tushan yesterday."

Lu Su frowned slightly. He had only heard of climbing mountains in summer to escape the heat. This was the first time he heard of mountain climbing in winter. Could it be that he would not die of freezing in the mountains?

"Then, how many days will it take for your lord to return?"

"It may be three or five days, or it may be more than ten days. If you want to blame, you have to blame Zijing. Since you are here, why didn't you report it earlier, so that I can inform the lord and arrange a dinner to treat you well."

"I have just entered Liyang, and you have already received the news. Then General Li Tong specially arranged for a fast horse delivery. Didn't you receive it?"

"News?" Yao Guangxiao glanced at the entourage beside him, but the entourage was also at a loss.

Just as he was arguing, Li Kui strode in, bowed to Yao Guangxiao, and took out a bamboo slip.

"Military division, Wenda sent a letter yesterday, I think you are not here, so I will keep it temporarily."

Yao Guangxiao took the letter, opened it, and found that it was Lu Su's envoy.

"You idiot, why didn't you give it to me earlier, and now you have missed a major event between the two countries. You can bear such a serious crime."

Li Kuidun pretended to be terrified, and plopped down on one knee to beg for mercy: "Sir, Tieniu really doesn't know that you didn't come back after going out yesterday. If you want to be beaten or punished, you will still be dealt with by the sir."

Yao Guangxiao was about to call his subordinates to pull Li Kui out and hit him with [-] big boards, but Lu Su, who couldn't stand it for a long time, stopped him immediately.Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this was Yao Guangxiao's double reed. If it was an ordinary person, he might have been deceived. But Lu Su is so smart that even if he sees through the other party's tricks, he can only cooperate with the other party to continue the performance.

There is no way, Jiangdong's national strength is weak, and a weak country has no diplomacy.

"Zijing, it's all because of this guy, he missed a big deal."

"Why be serious with a fool, forget it." Lu Su's face was calm, the more so, the more uneasy Yao Guangxiao felt.

Jiangdong's ministers from this, plus Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, if they don't take advantage of the drought and floods this time, they will become successful in just a few years.

"But the post has not closed yet, so there is really no place for Zijing to rest. Why don't Zijing rest here for a night?"

If it weren't for Lu Su's self-cultivation, he would probably be scolded immediately.

In the whole world, only he, Cao Anmin, had the guts to set up the City Lord's Mansion in Yuan Shu's palace.Even if he presumptuously, no one dares to say that he is not a word, this is the benefit of a strong national power.On the other hand, if I lived here tonight, the whole of Jiujiang and even the whole of Jiangdong would be rumored that Sun Ce had evil intentions.

After all, I am the emissary of Jiangdong, representing Sun Ce.

"In that case, we will temporarily find an inn to live in tonight, and hope that Chang Shi will send a message to your lord soon." Yao Guangxiao's face was full of smiles, and he promised again and again. In his deep regret, he invited Lu Su and others. go out.

Leaving the prefect's mansion, Lu Su's expression was calm, and he couldn't see anything unusual at all.On the contrary, the few attendants around him seemed a little unhappy. They thought that when they came to Shouchun, they would not have to eat and sleep in the open, and just rest for a few days.But now living in the inn, not only to beware of Cao Jun, but also to deal with the persecution of other people in Jiujiang.

Fortunately, with Lu Su here to suppress them, no matter how dissatisfied these people were in their hearts, they dare not show it.

On the second day after Lu Su arrived in Shouchun, Jingzhou envoy Kuai Liang also came.Unlike the entourage of Lu Su's brigade, Kuai Liang's entourage had nothing extra except a carriage, a coachman, and an entourage.

Simple and unrestrained, this is the whole nature of Kuai Liang.It is really because of his unique style that the Jingzhou gentry deeply despised him.

Consistent with Lu Su's arrival, Kuai Liang was also shut down when he arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.The same rhetoric, the same personnel, the only difference is that when Yao Guangxiao wanted to punish Li Kui, this guy actually stood aside and said nothing. In desperation, Yao Guangxiao had to let Li Kui eat a full forty boards. The script pulls back to the original track.

In the end, Yao Guangxiao also drove Kuai Liang to the inn where Lu Su was staying on the grounds that he had no place to live.Envoys from both sides of Jiangdong Jingzhou gathered together, and the meeting of enemies and allies was not to mention how wonderful it was.

Chapter 87 Mutual Comfort

There is no impenetrable wall in the world, Kuai Liang and Lu Su lived together, and they were soon known by the other party.

Jingzhou and Jiangdong are like-minded, and they should have been unanimous in the outside world, but they didn't expect that the two had their own ghosts, which led Cao Anmin to benefit from it and take all of them.Yao Guangxiao arranged them together, in order to let Kuai Liang know the existence of the other party and increase the sense of crisis.As for whether to meet in private or not to discuss any conspiracy, he is not interested.

In a world of great struggle, fight for strength.Although the insidious trick can win for a while, it can't win forever. Even if the two join hands, with the current situation of Jiujiang, they are not afraid at all.

The first thing Kuai Liang did when he arrived at the inn was to ask to see Lu Su.

At this moment, Lu Su is reading a book in the room.Since Zhou Yu was captured, Lu Su has been running around all the time, preparing the army for war, and basically has no free time, that is, in the past few days in Shouchun, he can relax and read books for entertainment.

When the envoy from Jingzhou arrived, although he knew it, he didn't expect that the first thing Kuai Liang would do after moving in was to see himself.Putting down the scroll in his hand, he arranged for his subordinates to invite him.

The next person went to invite him, and after a while, Kuai Liang walked in.

"Mr. Kuai Liang in Lower Jingzhou, is Mr. Zijing?" After Kuai Liang entered the door, he looked Lu Su up and down, bowed and saluted, looking very sincere.

"Exactly. Your Excellency must be Kuai Zirou, the number one think tank around Liu Jingzhou."

Others would definitely veto it, but Kuai Liang has always been a person who does not follow the usual path. Instead of denying it, he even nodded in shameless agreement.

At the very beginning, Kuai Liang led him away, and Lu Su felt his blood pressure rise a bit. He stabilized his heartstrings, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then sat down with each other.

"Mr. is not in Xiangyang, so what is Shouchun's sudden arrival?" After deliberating for a moment, Lu Su went straight to the topic, intending to deliberately give Kuai Liang a bad impression.

"Peace."

"Seeking peace?" Lu Su deliberately raised a note to express his dissatisfaction.

A few days ago, I personally went to Xiangyang to form an alliance with Liu Biao, but I didn't know that this white-eyed wolf was only thinking about Jiangdong, and the main force would not attack Cao but instead attack Wu.Now that the army is defeated, it is the sky hanging down the curtain to teach this kind of person who has no integrity.

"In the water battle on the Yangtze River, my entire army of [-] sailors was annihilated, and Cai Degui was also captured. My lord intends that no matter what the price is, he must be replaced to bring about peace between the two families."

Lu Su sneered and said, "If I knew today, why bother. If you and I really joined forces, how could he, Cao Anmin, be presumptuous."

On the way here, Kuai Liang naturally thought up his words. Seeing that Lu Su was deliberately making things difficult, his expression remained unchanged, and he was extremely calm: "In a world of great strife, what we are fighting for is territory, population and cities. Back then, Sun Jian, the fierce tiger in the east of the Yangtze River, always regarded me as Jingzhou. The land is in his pocket, and now my lord takes the initiative to attack, although it is not moral, but it is in line with heaven."

"Tianli." If it wasn't for Lu Su's self-cultivation, he really wanted to go up and slap Kuai Liang a few times.

"You and I both have the same purpose of coming here. Instead of guarding against each other, it is better to ventilate each other in exchange for information, win Cao Anmin's affection with small profits, and promote a tripartite alliance to eliminate the disaster of the southeast swordsmen."

Lu Su calmed down his anger and looked at Kuai Liang: "I don't know what Liu Jingzhou is willing to exchange for Cai Junshi?"
