Chapter 148
For Lu Su and Zhuge Liang, Liu Jue smiled, the labor and management have just returned to Xiling, and they haven't rested enough, how can they have the time to see you?
Therefore, Liu Jue immediately decided to hang Lu Su and Zhuge Jin for half a month, and it was the last word to accompany his wife well.
Liu Jue is very calm here, but Zhuge Jin can't be calm, and Lu Su can't be calm.
During this period of Chaisang, Zhuge Liang entertained the two of them with good food and drink, and invited the two of them to visit the mountains and rivers every day, which can be said to be very comfortable.
But Lu Su and Zhuge Jin couldn't relax.
Because during this period of time, Peng Ze's Gan Ning frequently practiced the navy, and whenever he saw the steamers galloping on the Yangtze River, Lu Su's nerves were tense.
In addition, Huang Zhong also trained soldiers and horses in Nanchang, and in the name of encircling and suppressing bandits, he wandered around Xingan more than once.
The people and horses of the two roads all put on a posture of being a fierce soldier and a horse, and they were going to send troops at any time, which made Lu Su and Zhuge Jin feel frightened.
What made Lu Su even more worried was that these soldiers and horses under Liu Jue could be described as neat and tidy, and the mental outlook of the soldiers was far from being comparable to when Huang Zu was there.
Lu Su felt that even if it was Cao Cao's Central Plains soldiers, it was nothing more than that.
And Lu Su also received the news that when Liu Jue pacified Jingnan, he also took Cangwu and Nanhai by taking advantage of the situation.
When he received the news, Lu Su couldn't be calm anymore, and hurriedly sent his entourage to report the situation on Chaisang's side to Sun Quan.
Just yesterday, the entourage brought back Sun Quan's order to ease the relationship with Liu Jue at any cost.
In addition to the reason for the defeat, it was also because Shanyue began to be restless again and began to come out to raid the county again.
After all, the flood a few months ago, Jiangdong was also quite badly affected, and Shanyue did not have enough food to eat, so he had to come out to rob the food of the Han people.
This is undoubtedly worse for Jiangdong, and Sun Quan is busy suppressing Shanyue again.
When Lu Su heard the news, he really wanted to dig up Shanyue's ancestral grave, why can you stop it?
Therefore, Lu Su went to see Zhuge Liang every day, and came up to ask about Liu Jue's whereabouts, but every time Zhuge Liang said that he didn't know.
Lu Su was so anxious that he was angry, but now Jiangdong was in a weak position, and he had to smile every time.
Gan Ning and Huang Zhong's armies practiced every day, maybe just for show, but Lu Su didn't dare to gamble, because Jiangdong couldn't afford to lose.
Liu Jue was able to attack the hinterland of Jiangdong once, which proves that he has no scruples, and he also has this ability, and it is not impossible to do it again.
Sun Quan's letter to Lu Su gave him great rights, but now it is useless, because he can't even see Liu Jue, and the negotiation can only be put on hold.
Lu Su felt very tired, sighing had become the norm, and at the same time, he also gave birth to a sense of absurdity, Jiangdong, who was known as the number one navy, would be afraid of the opponent's navy in turn.
Lu Su felt that the world was changing too fast, and the last time Zhou Yu conquered Jiangxia, Liu Jue's army had to avoid the war.
On this day, Lu Su, as usual, came to the Chaisang Taishou Mansion, and when he learned that Zhuge Liang was in the study, he didn't ask anyone to report it, so he walked in directly.
It's been almost a month since he came to Chaisang, and Lu Su has come almost every day, and the guards in the mansion already know him.
In the study, Zhuge Liang was dressed in white, holding a military book in his right hand, and a feather fan in his left hand, looking intently.
Hearing the footsteps outside, Zhuge Liang raised his head and saw that it was Lu Su, so he immediately smiled and said, "Oh, Zijing is here again." "
looked at Lu Su, and saw the anxiety in Lu Su's eyes that couldn't be concealed.
Zhuge Liang smiled faintly, and did not gloat, of course he would not sympathize, if it was Jiang Xia who was defeated this time, then he should be the one with the headache.
Seeing Zhuge Liang's smile, especially when he heard the word 'again', Lu Su felt that his mood was even worse.
However, Lu Su had to squeeze out a smile and asked, "Mr. Kong Ming, it's been almost a month now, is it possible that Liu Jiangxia is still in Jingnan and hasn't come back?"
Maybe I'm used to it, when I said this, when Lu Su said this, I didn't have much expectations in my heart, and I felt that I was going to run for nothing again today.
But to Lu Su's surprise, Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "Zijing came just in time, I just received the news that the young general of my family has returned to Xiling a few days ago." "
Lu Su was overjoyed, his hands trembled a little, and he hurriedly said: "This is great, please ask Mr. Kong Ming to take me to see Liu Jiangxia!"
"Zijing, don't be impatient!"
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly and said: "The purpose of Zijing's coming here, I have already reported to the young general, Zijing only needs to go to Xiling and meet with the young general, I have prepared the paperwork for the passage, and I will send a team of guards to take Mr. Zijing to Xiling." "
"Thank you, Mr. Kong Ming!" Lu Su breathed a long sigh of relief, bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang, and then picked up the documents and walked out of the study.
With an anxious mood, I waited in Chaisang for nearly a month, and finally I was able to see Liu Jue.
Lu Su was very excited, and immediately went back to prepare, not willing to delay for a day, and the next day he went to Xiling with Zhuge Jin with those generous gifts.
After coming to Xiling, Lu Su had calmed down, although he would be able to meet Liu Jue soon, whether the negotiation could be successful or not was another matter.
After Lu Su sent the post, he began to wait quietly, and finally on the second day after arriving in Xiling, Liu Jue agreed to meet him and made an appointment.
The next day, Lu Su and Zhuge Jin came to the Taishou Mansion together, this mansion Lu Su is somewhat familiar, because he came here once last time for Zhou Yu's affairs.
It's just that this time the mood is even worse than last time.
The burden on his shoulders was very heavy, but Lu Su did not flinch, no matter what Liu Jue would do to him, he had to endure it and complete the task assigned by Sun Quan.
Under the leadership of the guards in the house, Lu Su came to the study, and at a glance saw Liu Jue, who was wearing a light-colored robe and kneeling on the main seat.
Compared with the last time they met, at this time, Liu Jue gave Lu Su the feeling that his momentum had risen to a higher level, like Yuanyu Yuezhi, sitting there quietly, but people did not dare to ignore it.
"Liu Jingsheng has a son like this, what more can a husband ask for!"
Lu Su sighed in his heart, and immediately stepped forward to bow and said, "Foreign Minister Lu Su, I have seen Liu Jiangxia. "
