Lu Ning and his subordinates Guo Jia, Tian Chou and others studied a series of solutions to force Zhou Yu to stay. The methods sound a bit despicable and shameless, and they will be ridiculed by outsiders. But it doesn’t matter to Lu Ning, a time traveler. As long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn’t want to say anything. This is also the way for future generations to deal with things. As long as he doesn’t do things that harm the heavens and reason, what’s wrong with using some despicable means? Besides, in this troubled times, don’t any prince just seek the purpose and not the form? Cao Cao, a hero of a generation, can use all kinds of despicable means, and even things that harm the heavens and reason, will he do whatever is despicable?

Cao Cao was short of military rations, and even refugees were killed as meat! Cao Cao was a famous minister, military strategist, politician, and a national hero. How many people in the future will remember such despicable means? How many Han people in the Qing army entered the pass and killed in the form of bloodbath is not an exaggeration to describe it as a word like bloodbath. Not everyone is very clear, and how many people in the future are recorded? History was written by the victors, written by the rulers, and how many things in the history books are real? Only heaven knows it, the earth knows it, and later generations cannot judge it clearly. For Lu Ning, a time traveler who grew up in the 21st century, he is very clear about these things, and he will not be influenced by traditional concepts. Of course, he will do whatever he wants to achieve his goal.

A few days later, the negotiators Zhou Yu and Xue Zong sent by Sun Ce brought a brigade to Jinyang. Zhou Yu was the chief negotiator and Xue Zong was the deputy representative. To put it bluntly, Xue Zong was sent by Sun Ce to monitor Zhou Yu. After all, Sun Ce was still worried about the relationship between Zhou Yu and Lu Ning, especially the unhappiness happened again, which made Sun Ce even more worried, worried that Zhou Yu would not do his best to negotiate. Lu Ning did not go to greet him, but even the officials of the Ministry of Rites under his subordinates did not go to greet him. Everything was in silence. Lu Ning's civil and military officials worked as usual, and no one cared about the arrival of Zhou Yu and others. If only personal relationships were made, Lu Ning would definitely go to greet Zhou Yu in person, which was also Lu Ning's way of dealing with talents. Zhou Yu is now Sun Ce's negotiator after all, Lu Ning would not go to greet him, and what he showed was a tough attitude and style.

After Zhou Yu and Xue Zong arrived at the inn, they arranged their subordinates to settle all the expenses themselves. This is also a regulation within Lu Ning's jurisdiction, and they will not help anyone pay the bill. Even if you are an envoy of the state, it is no exception, let alone Zhou Yu and Xue Zong are just messengers of the princes. Of course, if Lu Ning is willing to pay the bill, Lu Ning will pay the bill privately, and the government office will not spend it.

Zhou Yu was very shocked by the prosperity in the jurisdiction of Lu Ning. The country can be considered peaceful and peaceful, and there is a prosperous scene everywhere, with smiles and vitality on the faces of the people. The construction of various towns is very distinctive, with people coming and going, bustling, shops, and clean and spacious. The supply of materials is very sufficient, and the department stores commonly used by the people are cheap and of good quality. The people live very well, and their living standards are better than those of the small vendors in the jurisdiction of other vassals.

The farmland water conservancy facilities in various places are very complete, and the roads between counties and counties are spacious and flat. The crops are growing well, and the goods are dazzling in the hands of vendors. There is no grain of loess in the construction of the city, and all are paved with cement or bluestone, which looks spotless.

After a short rest, Zhou Yu and Xue Zong took the beauty and gifts to Lu Ning's Shangzheng Building. When they arrived at the Shangzheng Building on the market, the guards at the door conducted strict investigations. After registering, the guards went to inform them first. Zhou Yu and Xue Zong and their party were waiting outside the door. If Lu Ning was unwilling to meet, they would not be able to enter the municipal building.

After hearing the guards' report, Lu Ning smiled slightly and immediately asked someone to call all the Wenkai officials under him, preparing to meet Zhou Yu and Xue Zong. In fact, Lu Ning had known that they had arrived and had a way to deal with him. Now he called everyone over and Wuwai to create some momentum.

Zhou Yu and Xue Zong entered the hall under the guidance of the guards. The hall here was already full of civil and military officials under Lu Ning. When Zhou Yu saw Lu Ning, he was still dressed in Confucian scholars, and his appearance was basically unchanged, and he looked at him with a smile on his face.

After performing the etiquette, Lu Ning personally introduced the civil and military officials under Zhou Yu, and asked them to meet each other. Zhou Yu also introduced Xue Zong to Lu Ning. Lu Ning looked at Xue Zong, but did not speak much, but nodded symbolically. Lu Ning felt a little confused about Xue Zong, only knowing that he was a famous scholar in the Eastern Wu and was also one of the counselors under Sun Quan. As for his ability and personality, Lu Ning didn't know very well. After all, there were too many celebrities in the Three Kingdoms. If he was not very famous, he wouldn't be clear about the situation. It is estimated that Xue Zong is a second-rate and third-rate character.

Seeing that everyone's greetings were over, the process of leaving was gone, Zhou Yu and others sat down separately. "Gongjin, we haven't seen each other for several years, right? You are still in a state of style and your spirit is getting stronger."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu smiled slightly and was about to get up and talk. Before he could stand up, Lu Ning said again: "Gongjin, don't be polite. Just sit here and talk, no need to be restrained."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu also disagreed with his insistence. He looked up at the civil and military officials under Lu Ning, and then said humbly: "General Lu, we haven't seen each other for several years. I didn't expect that I would come to negotiate with the general as an envoy? I feel very honored and happy to see the general again."

Lu Ning laughed and said seriously after laughing: "Gongjin, you can't call me General anymore, you'd better call me my name. We are friends, so don't be so polite. If you call me General again, I'm really angry."

Zhou Yu was a little stunned after hearing this, and then replied seriously: "It's Ziyi, I'll call you that presumptuously."

After hearing this, Lu Ning was very happy. What was happy was that Zhou Yu was still the original Zhou Yu, and there was no pedantic place. "Gongjin, I remembered the little things we visited Jingzhou a few years ago, which made people feel endless aftertaste. I encountered many twists and turns on the way and experienced many difficulties and dangers. Especially in the face of the siege of Cai Mao in Jingzhou, it was even more dangerous."

When Zhou Yu saw Lu Ning telling his old love and recalling the past, he was happy and worried. What he was happy was Lu Ning still the original Lu Ning, still so sincere and straightforward, and still said anything to him. What he was worried about was that Lu Ning didn't ask what he was doing in Jinyang? That means Lu Ning was not very interested in his trip and understood the purpose of Sun Ce sending them this time. If this is the case, it would be difficult to deal with. Lu Ning is a person with a clear distinction between grudges and grudges, and anyone who shits and urinates on his head will be punished ruthlessly. This time our army attacks Lu Ning for no reason, how could he not care about it? He will definitely be with him a hundred times.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to put forward the purpose and request of his trip to Lu Ning, but when he saw that the other party had just reminisced about the past, he had to continue reminiscing about the past with Lu Ning. "Ziyi, I was very honored to follow you to visit Jingzhou. I learned a lot from you that I didn't have in books, and also allowed me to see what a real elite teacher is, and even made me put away my heart to underestimate the world. That trip to Jingzhou was indeed the most enjoyable journey I had, and it was also the longest journey I had with me. Whenever I recall the past, I felt excited and excited."

Lu Ning recalled the past and his appearance, and said sincerely: "Yes, that trip to Jingzhou not only encountered a rare plague, but also experienced the test of war. When I think about it, I was still scared and didn't know how it broke out. Of course, it would be possible to successfully repel Cai Mao's army or Gongjin's achievements! Otherwise, I don't know what to do."

After hearing this, Zhou Yu felt warm. Although he knew that it was mainly because of the soldiers of the Big Bear Army that played a major role, even if others were to command, he could successfully repel Cai Mao's army. "Zi Yi was over, I just tried the command power on your behalf. Even if I was not here, you could easily repel Cai Mao's army. The key is that the warships under your command were too powerful, the firepower was too fierce, and the soldiers had extremely strong combat power."

Xue Zong next to him was very unhappy when he saw that Lu Ning was only reminiscing about his old relationship with Zhou Yu and did not care about the purpose of our visit. This made Xue Zong very unhappy. If he continued to narrate like this, how much time would it take to conduct substantive negotiations? Our army is now full of dangers, and Zhang Liao's army is attacking fiercely. That move is to seize Jiangdong. Otherwise, he would not have fought so hard.

Before leaving, Sun Ce called Xue Zong secretly to the interior room and gave a detailed advice, asking Zhou Yu to find a way to complete the task of reconciliation with Da Xiong. This is a dead order. Jiangdong needs three or four years of development, otherwise there will be big trouble. This is Sun Ce's instructions to Xue Zong, and at the same time, Xue Zong pays more attention to Zhou Yu's every move and strictly prevent Zhou Yu from hiding inside and out.

The anxious Xue Zong saw that Lu Ning and Zhou Yu kept talking, and they were talking about happy past events, but the theme was not even a side, and there was no intention of stopping. He had to stand up and prepare to interrupt the conversation between the two. However, before Xue Zong could speak, Lu Ning's Prime Minister Gu Yong immediately stopped him, "Jingwen, now my lord is reminiscing with Gongjin. Even if you have something big, you have to wait until my lord and Gongjin finished talking."

After hearing Gu Yong's words, Xue Zong looked helpless and had to sit down again as the audience. He did not dare to do anything out of line, nor did he want to offend Lu Ning and his officials. After all, this time he came to ask for help. He had to bow his head when it was time to bow and compromise first.

After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed, looked at Xue Zong and Zhou Yu, and then said, "Gongjin, I haven't seen each other for several years. Today we will only reminisce about the past and not talk about official affairs. No matter how big the matter is, we will wait for tomorrow."
