Chapter 769

Chapter 223 Arrived in Chaisang City

Lu Su’s thoughts were surging. Although Luo Chen agreed, his final attitude was still unclear. And Soochow, as the weakest of the three remaining separatist forces, naturally had to be very cautious.

“Commander!” Ling Tong called out next to him, pointing to the river in the distance. Sure enough, in the snowflakes falling from the sky, there was a big boat, which was full of sails and was coming fast. The snow rustled on the bow of the boat, forming a piece of white, so that it could be vaguely distinguished from the river surface. Otherwise, it would have already merged into the heavy snow and the river, and the sky and the earth would be so white that it could not be seen at all.

“Call the patrol boat to meet you!” Lu Su ordered.

Two patrol boats approached slowly.

After a moment, the big ship hurrahed and pulled up a flag, with a red face and a black border, as if something was embroidered on it, but it was too far away to see clearly. But Lu Su was more clear, because according to his observation of Huang Zhong’s Guanzhong iron cavalry, they all used this style of flag, with a “yellow” embroidered on it. To be sure, this is a ship in the dust.

The wind was strong, and the boat moved very fast. In a moment, the big boat came over. Wu Jun’s patrol boat was guiding it, and the soldiers on the shore were also signaling the berth with flags. Lu Su got off the observation platform and went to the berth to greet him.

As it got closer, Lu Su could see clearly that this all-powerful young master was standing quietly at the bow of the boat. This was the first time Lu Su saw Luo Chen. Previously, Luochen’s main force was all placed on the main force, and naturally he didn’t involve much of the Southeast, so he himself did not appear in the Southeast. This trip to Jiangxia is the first time that Luochen has publicly entered the boundaries of Jingzhou, and the first time he has been near the Yangtze River. And this time to Sun Wu Dijie, it was Luo Chen’s first visit to Jiangdong.

Luochen was wearing a large gray cloak, and there was a little snow falling on the placket. The young lord had a moustache and was probably about the same age as Sun Quan, but in his twenties. Beside Luo Chen, there was someone Lu Su knew for sure, that was Liu Bei. The other was dressed strangely, with a fluttering shirt and a long sword.

“Prime Minister Luo Chen!” Lu Su hurried up to meet him. “The Prime Minister’s visit to Soochow in person is truly glorious, and three lives are fortunate!” He also gave Liu Bei a deep salute: “Uncle Liu… Uncle Huang visited Soochow, and three lives were fortunate.”

“Mr. Lu Su?” Luo Chen asked tentatively. Said and came up.

“It’s down here.” Lu Su hurriedly introduced himself without waiting for Liu Bei to speak. “Lu Su, the military governor of the Lower Soochow Water Army. I have heard the name of the Prime Minister Luo Chen for a long time. I will see you today (bacd), which greatly comforts my lifelong desire.”

“I heard Xuande say that Mr. Lu Su is a benevolent person. When I see him today, he really lives up to his name.” Luo Chen laughed. While looking at this famous old man in history. Lu Su didn’t wear a military uniform, but he wasn’t like Zhuge Liang’s feather fan scarf either. Instead, it has a slight sword energy, which makes people believe that he can fight on horseback. Taking off the military uniform can discuss the past and the present. Lu Su has a long beard and is quite handsome. However, from the look on his face, Lu Su was quite low-key, not very proud, quite modest and calm. This kind of person succeeds Zhou Lang as the governor, it is only natural.

“I’ve heard about Zhou Lang’s hero for a long time, but Luo Chen was unfortunate. Before seeing Zhou Lang, Gong Jin passed away. It’s true that Heaven is jealous of Yingcai! Heaven is jealous of Yingcai!” Luochen sighed.

Seeing that Luo Chen was so sorry, Lu Su had no intention of pretending, and couldn’t help but feel sad. “I have known Zhou Lang for many years. Zhou Lang, a great talent in ancient and modern times, treats people with sincerity and does not deceive people. Now Zhou Lang has unfortunately passed away, the master has lost his arm, and I have lost an old friend and brother!”

The two of them mounted their horses, and with a few entourages, went straight to Chaisang City.

When Ling Tong and Gan Ning, who were in charge of defense on the edge of the Yangtze River, saw this, they couldn’t help looking at each other. When Luo Chen came to Jiangdong this time, he brought a boat with him. No matter how many people there were, there were only a few dozen people on board. Moreover, Luo Chen didn’t mean to bring an entourage at all, there was only one Liu Bei, and a strange guy followed him. However, Ling Tong and the two judged that this guy was definitely a bodyguard with stunts. But even so, it was too bold to come directly with a bodyguard. On the other hand, the Governor of Lu Su was also honest and honest, and went straight to the horse to lead the way, with only a few messengers and no other guards.

The outskirts of Chaisang are plain white. The heavy snow fell to the ground. The dead tree was covered with white paper. Today is Zhou Lang’s day of condolence. Not long after walking, I saw a lot of people in front of me. When he got closer, he saw that it was Sun Quan himself. Luo Chen visited in person, no matter how arrogant Sun Quan was, he would naturally have to go out of the city to meet him, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

Luochen and Sun Quan are not much different in age. Fallen dust with slight beards, sword eyebrows, and heroic spirit. And Sun Quan is another domineering. Sun Quan has blue eyes and purple beard, and his eyes are piercing. At first glance, it is very strange, but on closer inspection, he has a heroic spirit. Luochen looked around and wondered if he had an alien blood.

The two exchanged greetings and rode into the city. Luochen didn’t pay much attention to the future of Jiangdong before, but now that he saw this Sun Quan in person, he immediately felt strongly that this person was definitely not someone who was willing to submit to others. Sun Quan’s every move must be consistent with Luochen, that is, he believes that the dialogue between him and Luochen is an equal-level dialogue, not that Sun Quan is inferior to Luochen.

Luochen and Sun Quan rode into Chaisang City and were welcomed by the army and the people. A funeral flag was flying in Chaisang City, and there were many flags of condolences to Zhou Lang on the streets. All the soldiers in the city wore white clothes for funerals.

Na Luochen said: “I have admired Zhou Lang for a long time, but I didn’t expect this life to be unfortunate. Today, when I arrived in Jiangdong, Zhou Lang has passed away. It’s a shame…” He said that he wanted to mourn Zhou Lang.

Na Lu Su said: “Prime Minister Luo has come from a long way, you can go to the post house to rest first, warm up your body, and come back to offer condolences soon…” But Luo Chen insisted on going. When we got to the lobby, there was no sound around. It’s just that the white cloth indoors is connected to the snow outside, and there is a vast expanse of white everywhere between heaven and earth.

Then Sun Quan dismounted first to worship. Sun Quan took out the letter from the front of his shirt and said:

Yu is an ordinary talent, and has a special encounter with hormones. Nay, life and death are unpredictable, and if you are short, you will have a life; your foolishness has not yet been developed, and the tiny body has perished. What is the regret! Today, Cao Cao is in the north, and the battlefield is not quiet; the falling dust is so big that it looks like a tiger’s eyes; Liu Bei’s lodge is like raising a tiger; the affairs of the world are still unknown. This is the autumn when the shijian eats, and the day when the supreme considerate. Lu Su was loyal and fierce, and he was meticulous when it came to affairs, and could take the place of Yu. When a man is about to die, his words are also good. If he is seen, Yu will die immortal.

It turned out to be Zhou Yu’s will. When the surrounding generals heard it, tears flowed down their faces. Lu Su was shocked when he heard the words “the falling dust is big, like a tiger’s eyes”. Sun Quan actually read Zhou Yu’s opinion on Luochen in front of Luochen. Lu Su quietly looked at Luochen again, but saw that Luochen’s complexion changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down, as if nothing had happened. Of course, this is an open secret, who doesn’t know it? .

Chapter 224 Condolences

But Sun Quan read Zhou Yu’s will. When Lu Su heard Zhou Yu recommending him to be the Great Governor, he couldn’t help but cry from his heart. Then the surrounding generals saw that Zhou Yu strongly recommended Lu Su, and Lu Su was usually honest, how could he not accept it? They all cried for it.

Sun Quan finished his worship. As a guest, Luochen did not wear filial piety. Instead, he said to everyone sincerely: “In the battle of Chibi, we are in the north, and the main force is contained, and there is no way to do it. Fortunately, there is Governor Zhou Yu, who is a talented person in heaven and earth. Luochen heard about the fire in Chibi in the north, and was in awe. I want to see Governor Zhou Yu more and more. On the one hand, I didn’t expect that the sky was not what people wished. On the first day after the end of the grassland war, I immediately went south and arrived in Jiangxia, but I heard that Gong Jin passed away! It’s a great regret in my life! I have long imagined the scene of chatting with Gong Jin, but who would have expected it to be forever. It’s impossible to achieve!” He couldn’t help crying. Everyone was very moved when they heard it.

When Gongjin died, everyone naturally hated Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun, followed by Fa Zheng, because Fa Zheng changed Fa to stimulate Zhou Yu. Unexpectedly, Fazheng didn’t come today, let alone he didn’t come, but he was transferred to Yizhou, not Jingzhou at all. Now Jingzhou is in charge of Xu Shu, and everyone can’t let out their anger. And Luo Chen came this time, accompanied by Liu Bei and a strange bodyguard, and everyone was not interested in bothering them at all. Had to secretly get angry.

Na Luochen read the sacrificial text and said: “Thinking of you in the past, you were majestic and heroic; when you cried, you died early, and you bleed on the ground. Loyalty, the spirit of heroic spirit; Only my heart is full of grief. The sky is dark, the three armies are sullen, the Lord is weeping, and the friends are tears. … Wuhu Gongjin! Life and death are forever! : From now on, there will be no bosom friend in the world! Woohoo, how painful! Fu Wei is still in the air.”

Seeing him read sadly, everyone secretly wept.

After the worship, Luo Chen and Sun Quan sat down for a discussion. That Sun Quan was rude, but reiterated his request in the letter: “Wu’s generals and soldiers forgot their lives, expelled Cao’s army, and your troops reap the benefits, this is not in line with morality-reason…”

“What are your requirements?” Luo Chen interrupted him and said coldly.

Sun Quan did not show weakness when he saw Luochen’s directness: “When the commander of Zhou Yu defeated Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong, Liu Bei’s army took the opportunity to seize Nanjun, which was not reasonable. Your Huang Zhong’s army stood by while Cao’s army was attacking, but after Cao’s army retreated, they drove straight in and seized it. The three counties of Changsha, Wuling, and Guiyang are also unreasonable. Forgive your ministry voluntarily withdraw, so as not to cause unnecessary friction.”

This is a blatant threat. Obviously, “friction” means force attack. If the fallen army does not withdraw, the Wu army may resort to force attack.

Luo Chen didn’t speak, but Liu Bei was unhappy next to him: “General Sun, when Cao’s army attacked, our unit fought back hard, and participated in **** battles with Cao’s army in Xinye, Changbanpo and Chibi, and suffered a lot of losses, how can we not occupy the land of Jingzhou? Besides, Jingzhou is Liu Biao’s Jingzhou, and now Liu Biao’s son Liu Qi is still here, as Liu Qi’s uncle and Liu Biao’s younger brother, why can’t I help Liu Qi occupy Jingzhou?”

As soon as he spoke, Sun Quan looked at each other in dismay, never expecting that Liu Bei would actually take out the card of Liu Qi. Sun Quan didn’t want to be a rogue, so he made a gesture to Lu Meng next to him. That Lu Meng said sharply: “How come Liu Biao’s family owns the land of the big Han! The virtuous live in it! That Liu Biao has been destroyed by Cao Cao, so naturally he cannot reappear on the stage, and the virtuous will rule Jingzhou!”

Liu Bei was furious, slapped the table, stood up, and shouted, “How rude you are! How dare you be so arrogant in the army of the Eastern Wu Dynasty! Our army is not dispatched, otherwise even Chai Sang will not be able to sit firmly!”

Seeing such a scolding, Luo Chen, as the lord, must ease up a bit, so he said: “Xuande, don’t be rude, General Sun doesn’t mean that.” Then Sun Quan also borrowed the donkey to ease the atmosphere, saying: “Lu Meng must not be rude We can talk about everything!”

Seeing that the quarrel was so fierce, Lu Su couldn’t help but try to smooth things out: “Everything is negotiable, and the two allies must never meet.”

Na Luochen said: “My uncle Liu Huangshu and others are also fighting hard against Cao’s army, and since Young Master Liu Qi is here, it doesn’t make sense to not occupy part of Jingzhou.” Then he sat up and saw that Sun Quan was about to answer, and said, “I don’t care. This site is also an affirmation of my Luochen Department’s resistance to Cao Jun. Besides, Liu Biao appointed the prefect of Jingzhou for the Han Dynasty, and now Liu Biao’s son Liu Qi has no place to stay, which is absolutely impossible. Therefore, in Jingzhou, the general said that he would completely withdraw, is it not? possible.”

·0 Seeking flowers

Sun Quan didn’t know what to say when he saw Luochen saying this, and wanted to ask Lu Meng, who was next to him, to say something tougher. But Luochen then spoke again: “But we can make some concessions, these are all negotiable.”

As soon as Sun Quan heard this, he knew there was a drama, and said, “Then how does General Luo plan to make concessions?”

Luo Chen said: “Now that Uncle Huang has taken Nanjun, it was indeed taken by Governor Zhou when he was struggling to defeat Cao Jun. Out of respect for Governor Zhou, we can’t do things like reap the benefits.”

When Sun Quan and the others heard this, they were all happy. Liu Bei was unhappy, “How can you hand over the land to Nanjun so easily…”

Na Luochen continued: “But Nanjun is a place that connects the north and south of Jingzhou. If Nanjun is abandoned, then the 100,000 people under Huang Zhong’s army in the three southern counties of Jingzhou will not be able to enter the river, and my navy in Dongting Lake will also be moved to another place. ,Too much trouble.”

………0

When Sun Quan heard this, Luo Chen’s words changed, but it meant a change of mind. Nai said with a sullen face: “Nanjun is a lonely city. General Han Dang of my department in Jingxiang and other places has a bad temper. I am afraid it will cause friction.”

Luo Chen laughed loudly: “My suggestion is: we exchange Jiangxia for Nanjun, Jiangxia to Sun Wu, and we occupy Nanjun and Jingzhou, so that the two forces are not so complicated, the division is clear, and my navy is also Don’t need to move, isn’t it good?”

When Sun Quan heard it, it turned out to be this suggestion. Ben exchanged glances with Lu Su and Lu Meng on the spot. Lu Su said: “This plan seems to be considered…”

That Lu Meng was a hard-core guy and said, “Although Nan County has changed with Jiangxia, the three southern counties of Jingzhou are still occupied by you. How can you justify it?”

Luo Chen laughed loudly: “General Lu Meng, Huang Zhong’s 100,000 troops are guarding the three counties in the south of Jingzhou. If the general refuses to accept it, he can lead 200,000 soldiers to fight against Huang Zhong… Huang Zhong’s troops have been recuperating for a long time, I just don’t know if they have any fighting strength. It’s going down…hahaha…”

Lu Meng was very angry when he saw that Luo Chen didn’t care so much. Obviously, Luo Chen’s meaning is very simple, Huang Zhong is there, and he has the ability to fight against the Guanzhong Iron Cavalry. Give it to you if you win. .
