Chapter 353(2/2)
At this time, a guard reported at the door: "Governor Zhou is here."
"Invite him in." Although Sun Quan also knew that meeting Zhou Yu would make the civil servants dissatisfied, he couldn't take care of it at this time.
Soon, Zhou Yu walked into the attic and bowed and said, "See Wu Hou."
Seeing that Zhou Yu's robe was already wet, Sun Quan smiled and said, "The rain outside seems to be quite heavy. Gongjin will change into dry clothes first, so why don't you feel bad."
He waved his hand and ordered the guard to take Zhou Yu to change his clothes. Soon, Zhou Yu changed his clothes and came out. Then the two of them sat down. At this time, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu had already adjusted their mentality by changing clothes, and both calmed down.
Sun Quan picked up the teacup and slowly drank the hot tea, waiting for the news brought by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu pondered for a moment: "The subordinates received the exact information. Liu Jing led tens of thousands of troops to defeat Cao's army in Anlu County. Thirty thousand Cao's army was wiped out. Even the commander Zhao Yan surrendered to Jiangxia's army."
Sun Quan's hand couldn't help but shake, and a little tea splashed out. He stared at Zhou Yu with sharp eyes, "Is your information reliable? Zhao Yan actually surrendered to Jiang Xia."
"The news received by his subordinates is absolutely reliable. Zhao Yan takes office as the governor of Jingzhou."
Sun Quan didn't say a word for a long time. The news shocked him. Zhao Yan actually surrendered to Jiang Xia. Could it be that he is so optimistic about Jiang Xia
Moreover, the strength shown by the Jiangxia army in Anlu County is not underestimated. It actually wiped out all 30,000 Cao troops overnight, which made Sun Quan's confidence that he had slightly leaned towards Cao Cao began to shake again.
Zhou Yu had already noticed the subtle changes in the lord's mentality. He was secretly happy and said, "Cao's army came from afar and was not accustomed to water battles. Although he was temporarily trained in Jiangling, it actually had no meaning. At most, he would no longer be seasick when riding a boat. As for water battles, they were still far from it. As long as Jingzhou and Jiangdong were closely united in this battle, they would definitely defeat Cao's army. Lord, don't hesitate anymore."
Sun Quan paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back. At this time, he was already in a state of confusion. The little thought that had just been cleared was disrupted by the sudden news from Anlu County, which made him fall into confusion again.
"Gongjin, let me think about it first." Sun Quan sighed.
"Subordinates leave"
Zhou Yu knew that he needed to give Sun Quan time to consider, so he bowed and hurriedly left.
Walking out of the mansion, Zhou Yu saw Lu Su rushing towards him with an umbrella through the hazy rainy night. "Zi Jing, what's going on?" Zhou Yu asked with a smile.
"It turns out that Gongjin is also here. I am here to report to the Marquis of Wu. Liu Jing sent an envoy."
Zhou Yu was stunned. Why was it just an envoy coming? Is Liu Jing not going to come to see Wu Hou?
Lu Su seemed to know his doubts and smiled: "Of course Liu Jing is coming, the messenger is coming to contact the specific meeting."
Zhou Yu nodded, "You go, Mr. Wu should meet you."
.........
Zhou Yu left, only Sun Quan was left in the room. He tried his best to calm himself down. Now he needed to figure out all the clues so that he could weigh the pros and cons.
He had once tended to accept the conditions offered by Cao Cao, but the battle of Jiangxia's army in Anlu County made him suddenly realize that it seemed that the strength of Jiangxia army was no less than that of Jiangdong army, which made Sun Quan hesitate. If he betrayed the alliance and Cao Cao was sitting in Jiangling and watched the tiger fight, and waited for Jingzhou and Jiangdong to fight both sides, he would come to get a bargain again. Will this be the case?
While thinking, a guard reported at the door, "Report to the Marquis of Wu and Deputy Governor Lu have urgent matters to ask for a meeting."
Sun Quan wanted to see Lu Su now, and then smiled and said, "Please come in."
Soon, the guards led Lu Su into the room, and Lu Su bowed and bowed, "I'm going to see the Marquis of Wu."
"Zijing is here just right, please sit down."
Lu Su sat down, he wanted to report that Liu Jing sent an envoy to come, but when he saw that Sun Quan seemed to have something to say, he held back first. Sun Quan glanced at him and said lightly: "Just just now, Gongjin told me a piece of news that Liu Jing defeated Cao's army in Anlu County, and even Cao's army Zhao Yan surrendered to Jiangxia. Do you know this?"
Lu Su was stunned and shook his head and said, "I don't know about this."
Sun Quan fell into deep thought, and Lu Su didn't dare to disturb him, so he just sat quietly aside. I don't know how long it took, Sun Quan woke up from his thoughts and smiled apologetically: "I ignored you, is there anything important to Zi Jing?"
"I want to report to the Marquis of Wu. Liu Jing sent Liu Min, an intern, to come as an envoy. He just arrived at the dock."
Sun Quan asked with a smile: "Have Liu Jing returned to Wuchang?"
"It should be still in Xiakou. I guess I will return to Wuchang tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Liu Min will come to arrange the details of the meeting between the provincial governor and Wuhou."
"So that's the case, then I won't meet him anymore. You will be in full regard to the details of the meeting with him. I will leave this matter to you."
"There is a good minister"
The room was silent, but Sun Quan did not let Lu Su say goodbye. He pondered for a moment and sighed, "Zijing, I'm upset."
Lu Su said respectfully: "The troubles of Wu Hou lies in the entanglements of various interests. Everyone wants to influence Wu Hou to realize their own interests, but few people consider Wu Hou's interests."
"Is Zijing beneficial?"
"There are also benefits for me. I hope that Jiangdong will establish a country, Wu Hou will be the founding king, and Wu will be the founding minister, and my reputation will be in history. A thousand years later, my descendants can be said. I am the descendant of the founding Duke of Lu.
Sun Quan laughed, "Zijing is the one who is responsible."
After pondering for a while, Sun Quan asked again: "What are the benefits of Zibu, Demou and others?"
Lu Su sighed for a while: "If Cao Cao took Jiangdong, Lu Su and the people's village party, he would not lose his official position, and he could also be granted titles and titles. Of course, they did not want to take the risk of fighting with Cao's army, but if the Marquis of Wu surrender, why would he place a car only in one car? He never had a few people, and he was granted the titles of a few Xianhou to survive. Liu Cong of Jingzhou was in front, can Wu Hou see if it was seen?"
