Chapter 750 Three-way wrestling (Part 2)

An embarrassing scene appeared on the Chaisang Wharf. The Jiangdong envoy Lu Su and the Jiaozhou envoy Yang Yi arrived at the same time. Both ships were anchored at the Chaisang Wharf. However, the two envoys stood aside, sneered with their hands behind their backs, and ignored each other.

At this time, Pang Tong hurried out of the city, greeted Yang Yi first, and asked him to go to the city to rest first. At present, the King of Han went to the countryside to inspect and would soon come back. Then Pang Tong went to see Lu Su again, "Let Zijing wait for a long time."

Lu Su bowed and smiled, "It should be that it has made Military Advisor Pang embarrassed, both sides have to deal with it."

Although Pang Tong went to meet Yang Yi first, Lu Su didn't care. Lu Su was a wise and foolish type, and seemed a little slow, but in fact, he knew the task he was shouldering, so he didn't have to care who was first and who later. He cared more about whether Liu Jing was in Chaisang.

Lu Su asked carefully again: "Is Your Highness the King of Han in Chaisang?"

"This time Zi Jing came here very coincidental. His Highness the King of Han happened to be in Chaisang." Pang Tong smiled slightly.

Lu Su was overjoyed. As expected, Liu Jing finally showed up this time, but his mind changed. Is it true that Liu Jing really wants to end the game as Zhang Zhao guessed?

Yang Yi was taken to the inn to rest, but Lu Su followed Pang Tong directly to the Chaisang County Government. The front of the Chaisang County Government was filled with elite soldiers with full armed spirits and were full of vigilance. From this point, we can see that Liu Jing was actually in the government office. Yang Yi would also understand in her heart that she would just come first and then, and find an excuse to make everyone feel better.

Lu Su was led directly into the county government. On the way to the city, Lu Su wanted to talk about some news from Pang Tong several times, but Pang Tong didn't answer. This made Lu Su's heart full of worries. He already felt that the situation was developing towards Zhang Zhao's speculation, but that was an unbearable result of Jiangdong. It would rather Yuzhang and Poyang be occupied by the Jiaozhou army, so that it would be recaptured sooner or later. If it was occupied by Jingzhou, it would be impossible to recapture it by force. Unless Jingzhou itself was willing to give up, then I don't know what price Jiangdong would pay.

When he walked straight into the inner hall, he saw a huge sand table placed on the inner hall, and Liu Jing stood in front of the sand table with his hands on his back. Lu Su hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "See Your Highness, the King of Han!"

"Zijing, it's been a long time since we met."

Liu Jing smiled and said, "I heard that Zijing went to Jiangling, and I happened to be away. I asked Zijing to go there. I heard that he was scolded by Wu Hou. I was really sorry."

Lu Su smiled bitterly in his heart. Liu Jing became more and more sleek. He was teasing himself, but now he said it as if it was true. But he had no choice but to shake his head and say, "It's the Marquis of Wu that is unclear, and it's reasonable that Lu Su is not here."

Liu Jing looked at him deeply, then smiled gently, "Zi Jing and I have been in love for many years. I know that Zi Jing is a kind person, and I can't bear to bully each other. I try to treat each other with sincerity and not let Zi Jing go for nothing."

Liu Jing's sincerity made Lu Su feel moved, and he quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your sincerity!"

"Please sit down!"

Liu Jing asked Lu Su to sit down, and Pang Tong also sat aside. A soldier served tea for them. Liu Jing picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of the tea, and slowly said, "I heard that the situation in Jiangdong is not good!"

Lu Su knew that Liu Jing's intelligence point in Jiangdong was very powerful, and the depth and breadth of the information he received were greater than that of Wu Hou. I am afraid that even Wu Hou himself did not know the information he had. Lu Su asked worriedly: "Can you please tell me how serious the situation in Jiangdong is?"

"The situation in Jiangdong may have external intervention. I might as well tell Zijing that Cao Cao increased his troops to Hefei by 30,000 half a month ago. Cao's army in Hefei has reached 80,000. In addition, I just received a message from Fei Ge that Cao Cao had left Yedu and went south the day before yesterday. His whereabouts were unknown. Under such circumstances, it is really unwise for the Marquis of Wu to fight westward!"

Lu Su was shocked. They didn't know about this information. They thought that Sun Ben and Cao Cao were relatives. The last time they captured Chen Jiao in Sun Ben's mansion, there was no doubt that Sun Ben and Cao Cao colluded. Lu Su lowered his head and felt very heavy. The situation in Jiangdong was so serious. If Sun Ben rebelled in Kuaiji County, Cao Cao would definitely attack Jiangdong from the north, with internal and external troubles, and the Jiangdong regime would be difficult to protect.

Thinking of this, Lu Su bowed to Liu Jingchang and choked and said, "I beg His Highness the King of Han to send troops to rescue Jiangdong for the sake of the covenant monk Princess Xiang."

Liu Jing nodded, "Jingzhou and Jiangdong not only formed the love between Qin and Jin, but also had a cold lips and teeth, and were dependent on each other. If Jiangdong was destroyed by Cao Cao, Jingzhou would be in danger. Please tell the Marquis of Wu that he would do his best to calm the internal troubles. I will deal with the Cao army."

This was said very beautifully. If Lu Su didn't understand Liu Jing, he would be moved to tears. However, Lu Su understood Liu Jing's deeper meaning. The Han army would also interfere with the internal strife in Jiangdong. I am afraid that the final result would not be as Wu Hou wished. However, if the Han army did not take action, Jiangdong would be in danger, so Lu Su was grateful and helpless in his heart.

At this time, it seemed a bit out of place when he mentioned Yuzhang County and Poyang County again. Lu Su hesitated for a moment and didn't know how to speak.

Liu Jing saw through Lu Su's entanglement and smiled and said, "As for Yuzhang County and Poyang County, I will not allow Jiaozhou to occupy it. This is also a threat to Jingzhou. I will drive Zhuge Liang back to Jiaozhou. Zi Jingke told Wu Hou not to worry too much about Yuzhang County."

Lu Su bit his lip tightly and said, "As long as His Highness the King of Han can protect Yuzhang County and Poyang County for Jiangdong, Wu Hou promised to hand over Jingnan back to Jingzhou. As long as Wu Hou can do any other conditions, we can agree."

Liu Jing laughed, "Let's talk about these things later! The situation is complicated now. We should distinguish between priorities and solve the current danger first. I will let Lu Meng's fleet pass through the border as soon as possible. In addition, I will also find a way to get the prisoners of war from the Jiaozhou Army back. In short, I will do my best."

Lu Su sighed in his heart. This time, Jiangdong was really held in the palm of his hand by Liu Jing, but he had to express his gratitude. He bowed again, "His Royal Highness of Han Dynasty, Lu Su thanked Jiangdong for his great kindness first."

Lu Su was taken down, and Pang Tong, who had been silent, asked, "Does Your Highness really want to send troops to deal with Cao Cao?"

Liu Jing smiled faintly, "This game of chess was originally my game, and I was the only one who played the chess game. Now Cao Cao saw that Jiangdong had an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he wanted to get a share of the pie. In other words, there was another chess gamer. Since Cao Cao wanted to play this game of chess with me, why would I not do it?"

Pang Tong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The situation is getting more and more complicated. Your Highness's game is playing too much."

"Actually, it's not complicated at all. As long as I'm fully prepared, everything can be calm."

At this time, a soldier reported: "Your Highness, Lu Xun has brought it."

Lu Xun came with Yang Yi, and Zhuge Liang decided to hand him over to Liu Jing, but Lu Su didn't know that Liu Jing deliberately kept this matter hidden. He no longer wanted to hand over Lu Xun to Sun Quan. He nodded, "Please invite him in!"

After a moment, Lu Xun was led into the inner hall. He wore a flat scarf and a cloth robe, and looked like a poor scholar from a scholar. Lu Xun walked up and saw Liu Jing and Pang Tong sitting in his seat. He also knelt down and bowed, "Lu Xun, Wujun, pays homage to His Highness the King of Han!"

"Boyan, please give up the gift!"

Lu Xun sat upright and said, "Thank you for your help, so that I have not fallen into Jiaozhou. Lu Xun is very grateful for your kindness."

Liu Jing smiled slightly, "I have a marriage relationship with the Lu family. Speaking of which, Bo Yan and I are brother-in-law. How can I not save me? I wonder what Bo Yan's plan is? Are you still going to go back and be loyal to Mr. Wu?"

Lu Xun was discouraged by Sun Quan and shook his head and said, "Mr. Wu is narrow-minded and has no tolerance. He has lost a lot in the world strategy. Following him can only be a fish in the Dead Abyss. I will no longer be loyal to him."

"Why Boyan wants to be loyal to Sun Shao?" Liu Jing asked again.

Lu Xun flatly denied, "If I were loyal to Sun Shao, wouldn't it confirm Wu Hou's suspicion? The defeat of the new Wu is my responsibility. I just want to go back to my hometown to farm and study. I hope your highness will be successful."

Liu Jing actually wanted Lu Xun to be loyal to him, but he also knew that the time was not yet ripe and could not be too hasty, so he had to take it slowly. He pondered for a moment and said, "I will not stop Bo Yan from coming and going, but I have to persuade him for a moment, so please think twice."

"I wish to hear your highness's advice."

Liu Jing stood up and walked slowly in the lobby with his hands in his arms, saying slowly: "As far as I know, the situation in Jiangdong is very delicate and complicated. The Sun clan has turned to support Sun Shao. Moreover, most of the wealthy families in Wujun have expressed their opinions, including the Lu family. I believe Bo Yan knew it well. Secondly, Kuaiji County, He Qi held military power and supported by Shanyue people. He supported Sun Ben. Jianye's control over Kuaiji County has been in name only. If I expected it, as long as the news of Wuhou's defeat reached Jiangdong, Wujun and Kuaiji County would immediately raise flags to rebel. If Bo Yan returned to Jiangdong at this time, he might immediately get involved in right and wrong. If he wanted to study behind closed doors, it was probably just Bo Yan's wishful thinking."

Lu Xun lowered his head and said nothing. He knew that Liu Jing was right, and it would be the result. After a while, he sighed softly, "Is there no place for me, Lu Xun?"

Liu Jing laughed, "Actually, I admire the scenery in Jiangdong very much. Unfortunately, no one around me explains it carefully. If Bo Yan doesn't dislike it, how about being a doctor under my account?"

He had already said this to this extent. How could Lu Xun not know Liu Jing's intention? He was so considerate and respectful to himself with the respect of the King of Han, and persuaded him by circling the bush. It was obvious that his sincerity was that Lu Xun thought of Sun Quan's ruthlessness and sighed in his heart. Well, Jiangdong will sooner or later be Liu Jing's possession, even if he was to seek a future for himself and the family!

Thinking of this, Lu Xun bowed again, "Lu Xun is willing to serve His Highness the King of Han!"
