Chapter 140
In the west of Chaisang City, Zhuge Liang led some small officials and soldiers, accompanied by Yang Jiye, and was waiting for Lu Su's arrival.
At this time, Jiangdong was the defeated side, Lu Su came to sue for peace, Zhuge Liang didn't have to go out of the city to greet him, but this time Jiangdong's mission also had his brother Zhuge Jin.
Therefore, Zhuge Liang decided to go out of the city to greet him.
At this time, Lu Su's mission was still about a mile away from Chaisang.
There were more than 300 people accompanying him, including dozens of carriages, and 500 escorts, all of which were provided by Gan Ning, and they were loaded with some Jiangdong native products.
On a carriage in front, Lu Su sat in it, although his face was a little calm, but in the depths of his eyes, a trace of worry flashed.
This is Lu Su's second envoy to Jiangxia, but compared with the last time, the pressure this time is undoubtedly heavier.
Because this time Jiangdong's situation is even more unfavorable than last time.
Of course, like last time, this time it also ended in a fiasco in Koto, and even the coach was the same person.
The reason why Lu Su is worried is not only because of this peace talks, but also because of the future of Jiangdong.
Although Wen hired troops this time, the defeat of Jiangdong and the pacification of the Jingnan Rebellion were almost completed by relying on Jiangxia County.
With Jiangxia County, under Liu Jue's governance, Jiangdong can't hold his head up, if Liu Jue takes charge of Jingzhou, I'm afraid Jiangdong's life will be even more difficult.
Especially in the area of the navy, the strength of the two sides has almost reversed, and the Jiangxia navy is now in a weak position because of the steamers.
Thinking of this in Lu Su's heart, he immediately sighed.
The journey of one mile was not too long, and it was completed quickly, and Chai Sang also appeared in Lu Su's eyes.
This city originally belonged to Jiangdong, Lu Su has been here more than once, although the strength of the city, not as good as Wu County in Jiangdong, but it is also a majestic city.
As long as there is enough food and grass in the city, and another 20,000 troops are stationed, even if there are 100,000 people, they can resist for a long time.
It's a pity that he was careless at the beginning and lost this extremely important city.
The soldier who escorted the team was the sailor under Gan Ning, and a military marquis who led the team suddenly called to stop, and then came to Lu Su's carriage and said: "Mr. Lu Su, Mr. Zhuge is already waiting outside the city gate. "
"Zhuge Liang!"
There is no need for this soldier to remind him, Lu Su has already seen Zhuge Liang, and his eyes can't help but flash a gleam, it is this person who set up an ambush, broke Zhou Yu's army on the way to retreat, and also captured Tai Shici alive.
"Wolong Wolong! It's really extraordinary!" Lu Su couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it is rumored that Wolong and Feng Chick have one person who can settle the world, and now Liu Jue has both, can he really win the world in the future?
This thought flashed through Lu Su's heart, but he quickly put it aside and immediately stepped out of the carriage.
On the other side, Zhuge Jin also got out of the carriage, and after tidying up his clothes, he and Lu Su went up together.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Mr. Zijing is fine. Zhuge Liang laughed loudly.
Lu Su sighed and said with a little deep meaning: "There have been a lot of troubles recently, how can it be okay? "
Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, pretending not to hear, then looked at Zhuge Jin and bowed: "Brother, you and I haven't seen each other for a few years, are you doing well?"
"It's not bad! But I'm just a county magistrate, unlike Kong Ming, you, who are already Liu Jiangxia's right-hand man. Zhuge Jin sighed, he went to Jiangdong to avoid trouble, and then he came out under Sun Quan, and he and Zhuge Liang had not seen each other for a few years.
"Brother doesn't have to be presumptuous! The two of them must have been tired all the way, so they can go to the city to rest first. Zhuge Liang smiled again and made a gesture of please.
"It's really tiring all the way, but I have to do my best because of Wu Hou's entrustment. Lu Su smiled bitterly, and the worry in his heart became heavier.
"In that case, please go to the Taishou Mansion to rest first, my brother and I may not see each other for a long time, just in time to catch up. Zhuge Liang said, stretching out his hand to let Lu Su get into the carriage.
Lu Su arched his hand, suddenly noticed Yang Jiye beside Zhuge Liang, and couldn't help asking: "This general is heroic and extraordinary, and he hasn't asked for the name of Gao?"
Yang Jiye clenched his fists and said: "In the army under the Xia Xia Taishou tent, Yang Jiye." "
"You are Yang Jiye!"
Not only Lu Su, but even Zhuge Jin couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't expect that this young general was Yang Jiye, who beheaded Pan Zhang and captured Tai Shici.
Lu Su couldn't help but say: "The general is heroic and extraordinary, my two generals in Jiangdong are both folded in the hands of the general, and the position of the military waiting is too aggrieved by the general." "
Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Yang Jiye followed my family's major general, but it was only a few months, and this was his first time on the battlefield. The major general of my family has clear rewards and punishments, and he will definitely be promoted to his official position in the near future, so Mr. Zijing should not worry too much. "
"The first time I went to the battlefield, I made great achievements, but I am afraid that the future is immeasurable. "
Lu Su's heart was heavy, this Yang Jiye's age looked not much different from Ding Feng and Xu Sheng, but his ability was more outstanding than the two, and Liu Jue's subordinates were full of talents, which was the appearance of prosperity.
"Mr. Zijing has won the award. Yang Jiye hugged his fists again.
"The general doesn't have to be modest!" Lu Su shook his head, sat in the carriage again, and followed Zhuge Liang's team towards the Taishou Mansion.
After everyone arrived at the Taishou Mansion, Zhuge Liang took Lu Su and Zhuge Jin to the hall.
After everyone sat down, Lu Su took the lead and said: "Mr. Kong Ming, the day before yesterday, because of some small misunderstandings, the two families started to fight, this time Wu Hou sent me in the hope that the two families can turn the war into a jade silk, and stop the war." "
"Yes, in order to show our sincerity, Wu Hou has prepared some gifts. Zhuge Jin nodded, took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve, and asked the attendant behind him to hand it to Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang took the bamboo slip and roughly swept it, in addition to some local products in Jiangdong, there were also some jewelry, jade, silk, etc., which were quite rich.
It seems to be quite sincere.
Zhuge Liang glanced at it, put the bamboo slip on the table, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zijing's words are wrong! Wu Hou first sent Lu Xun to the four counties of Jingnan to stir up the wind and rain, instigating the Taishou of the four counties and the Wuxi barbarians to rebel, and then asked Zhou Yu to lead an army of 30,000 to attack the four cities of Chaisang, intending to annex Jingnan and Jiangxia in one bite, how can this sinister intention be said to be a misunderstanding?"
Zhuge Liang said, snorted coldly, and then said: "If Mr. Zijing said so, I'm afraid he didn't come over sincerely to make peace!
When Lu Su and Zhuge Jin heard this, their faces changed in unison.
