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

Wu County, inside the posthouse.

Lu Su was still sitting on the soft couch in the yard, looking at the flowers and trees under the eaves of the hall, lost in thought.

On his table, the drink had changed from wine to tea.

The tea is boiling and the aroma is everywhere.

Lu Su picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said to himself: "The aroma is fragrant and refreshing, and there is not a trace of bitterness in it. It is really good tea, good tea!

If I hadn’t come to Wu County, I would never have been able to drink such a fragrant tea in my life!"

"If Zi Jing stayed in Wu County and served his lord, what would be the problem even if he drank this kind of tea every day?"

Lu Su smiled faintly. No need to ask, it was Zhou Yu who came back here again.

"Gongjin, you came back from General Sun so soon, come quickly. This is a good tea, it is even more delicious to drink it with a close friend."

He turned his eyes and was about to invite Zhou Yu to come over and sit down. He saw a young man beside Zhou Yu. He had a magnificent appearance, a sturdy body, a square chin and a big mouth, bright eyes, and exuded a noble aura.

Lu Su was clear-headed and stood up quickly. He bowed and said, "I didn't know General Sun was here. I spoke so recklessly. Please forgive me, General."

Sun Quan smiled and asked, "Zi Jing, you are too kind. I see that they are all true to themselves. How can they have committed any crime? I wonder how Zi Jing knew my identity?"

Lu Su saluted and said, "As soon as General Sun entered the courtyard, I felt the heroic spirit coming towards me. Apart from General Sun, who else in Jiangdong has such a magnanimous demeanor?"

Sun Quan laughed and said, "I have long heard that Zi Jing is a great talent of the time. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved!"

Lu Su said a few humble words, and then the others sat down as host and guest.

After the three of them drank a few cups of tea, Sun Quan spoke up, "I have heard Gongjin say that Zijing has farsightedness and extraordinary wisdom, and his talent is comparable to that of Guan Zhong of Qi.

Although Uncle Liu is good at judging people, he must have made some omissions. With Zijing's intelligence, he is capable of becoming a general or a prime minister, but now he lives in Jiujiang County, spending his days in mediocrity. How can Zijing be willing to accept this?

Although I am not very smart, I am willing to entrust the affairs of state to Zijing. I wonder if Zijing is willing to come?"

Lu Su bowed and said, "I am grateful to the general for his high regard for me. Uncle Liu placed me in Jiujiang County just to deal with the current situation. How can I betray him and leave him?"

Zhou Yu said, "In today's world, not only do rulers choose their subjects, but subjects also choose their rulers. Although my master is young, he has great ambitions and is open-minded to advice. He is a rare wise ruler in the world.

Jiangdong is a vast land of fertile land. If Zijing is willing to assist, he will surely accomplish great things."

Lu Su said with a smile: "Now that Liu Huangshu wants Sun Shao to go to Luoyang as a hostage, I would like to ask General Sun whether Jiangdong will agree. If they agree, Jiangdong will certainly be controlled by Liu Huangshu.

But if the general does not agree, Emperor Liu will lead hundreds of thousands of troops south to capture Jiangdong.

No matter what, Jiangdong is in danger, and at this juncture, what is Gongjin talking about achieving great things?"

Zhou Yu said: "Uncle Liu's rear is unstable and he has to go on a long expedition. If he dares to send troops to attack us, I will surely defeat him in one battle."

"Gongjin is ambitious, and Liu Huangshu is a master of military strategy. His talent is not inferior to Gongjin. I think Jiangdong has little chance of winning this battle."

"Okay." Zhou Yu was full of ambition. He looked at Lu Su and said, "Zi Jing, do you dare to make a bet with me? If I can defeat Uncle Liu, Zi Jing will come to serve the lord."

Lu Su looked solemn, as if he was pondering. After a while, he slowly said, "Since Gongjin is so confident, I will stay here and wait and see.

If Gongjin can really win the battle, I will certainly serve him."

"Speak out!"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

……

……

Under the pincer attack from the north and south by Zhang Fei and Jia Xu, Youzhou was quickly stabilized. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang fled to Liaodong.

Liu Yu did not agree to Zhang Fei's proposal to continue pursuing the Yuan brothers. Instead, he asked Taishi Ci to continue to eliminate the remaining enemies in Youzhou, and asked Zhang Fei and Jia Xu to return to Yecheng.

The escape of the Yuan brothers completely crushed the determination of the pro-Yuan forces in Jizhou to resist.

The situation in Jizhou became increasingly clear. Except for the Yuan generals in Bohai who were still fighting desperately, the rest of the situation was basically calm.

Liu Yu naturally knew that this calmness was only on the surface, but in fact there were undercurrents surging in private.

Many people are afraid that Jizhou will not be in chaos. Only in chaos will the pro-Yuan forces have a chance to take back everything that belongs to them.

It would be impossible to completely quell this undercurrent without five or six years.

Liu Yu did not continue to use large-scale troops. Except for letting Ma Chao and Zhang He continue to attack Bohai, the rest of the generals and soldiers began to rest on the spot.

Lu Su had been in Wu County for more than ten days, and the situation in Jiangdong was becoming increasingly clear.

Based on Liu Yu's understanding of Zhou Yu, he would not surrender without resorting to violence, so this battle was inevitable.

In this case, Liu Yu could only recuperate his troops within a limited time.

Liu Yu and Guo Jia sat on the couch with a pot of tea in front of them.

Along with the sound of boiling tea, there was also Guo Jiasi's heart-wrenching cough.

During this period, Guo Jia's illness became more serious. Liu Yu felt sorry for his condition and wanted him to rest in peace, but Guo Jia decisively refused.

The reason for the refusal is similar to the previous one. If a man is born in troubled times and cannot make great achievements and achieve eternal fame, what is the point even if he lives for a hundred years in vain?

Liu Yu couldn't overcome his stubbornness and could only let him worry about everything!

During this period, Liu Yu sent a large number of people to inquire about Hua Tuo's news, hoping to rely on Hua Tuo's medical skills to help Guo Jia delay his illness.

Hua Tuo practiced medicine everywhere and his home was everywhere. It was obviously not easy to find out his whereabouts.

I don't know how long it took, but the coughing slowly stopped and Guo Jia's voice sounded clearly.

"Yuan Shao has a high reputation in Bohai. Now there are still 20,000 soldiers and chariots in Nanpi City who are resisting stubbornly. Meng Qi has led his troops to the city of Nanpi. Although these 20,000 soldiers are numerous, they have lost their backbone and are not a concern. What I am worried about in the north is the situation in Bingzhou.

Judging from the current intelligence, although Yuan Tan and Gao Gan are still fighting, the scale of the battle is getting smaller and smaller. I suspect that they have reached some kind of tacit understanding in private, and the battle between the two armies now is more like a show of confrontation for us."

Liu Yu's face was slightly tense, and he said slowly: "If this is true, Yuan Tan must be waiting for an opportunity, and once the opportunity is ripe, he will definitely send troops to seize Jizhou.

According to the plan, the army will rest for more than a month before marching to Jiujiang. If the army is allowed to go deep into the battle in Bingzhou to quell the chaos, Jiangdong’s plan must be stopped.”

"The plan to attack Jiangdong cannot be stopped." Guo Jia said this forcefully, and then his lungs were affected, and he coughed a few times. He drank a few sips of tea to stop the violent coughing. "Yuan Tan is ambitious but incompetent. He has no famous generals or far-sighted strategists around him. With people like Guo Tu by his side, nothing great can be accomplished.

To us, he is just a minor problem, but the situation in Jiangdong is exactly the opposite. They are a serious threat to our country. A wise man would not give up a serious threat to our country for a minor problem!"
