The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 71 Lu Xun's Kindness
Lu Xun's kindness
Inside the Soochow camp; Ling Tong led Zhuge Qiao all the way to the Chinese army tent, but Lu Xun had been waiting outside the camp for a long time;

"Bo Song, do you still remember me?" Lu Xun smiled, and immediately walked up to Zhuge Qiao with the kindness he revealed.

"Forget everyone, and don't forget Uncle Lu; my nephew is right," Zhuge Qiao clasped his fists at Lu Xun and saluted.

"Come on, let's have a banquet in the army to celebrate Bo Song's arrival," Lu Xun shouted again.

Listening to Lu Xun's words, Zhuge Qiao felt that there was something unusual in them, but he didn't stop it. After all, it's a pleasure to have a drink with the heroes of Jiangdong 800 years ago.

"Bo Song, please," Lu Xun said to Zhuge Qiao.

Zhuge Qiao was also very savvy and moved behind Lu Xun, and Ling Tong naturally accompanied him.

After a few breaths, Lu Xun has prepared the banquet, but the food and wine have not yet been served, and the banquet has not yet started; "Bo Song, sit here" Lu Xun pulled Zhuge Qiao to sit as the chief on the right;
"Uncle Lu, it's not Bosong's turn to take this seat, it's better for Uncle Ling to sit here." Seeing Lu Xun's hospitality, Zhuge Qiao naturally couldn't accept the first place.

"Bo Song, you are the envoy of the Han; if you represent the Shu Han, if you are placed in the back seat, that means there will be no Shu Han in the eyes of Soochow." Lu Xun continued to persuade;
"Since Uncle Lu said so, then Bosong will be disrespectful." Zhuge Qiao saw that there was no argument, so he knelt and sat down;

But the moment he knelt down, he didn't notice that Lu Xun's disappointed expression disappeared in a flash.

"That's right, when the other generals arrive, the banquet can almost begin," said Lu Xun, walking towards his position as the commander.

After that, there was another period of asking for warmth,,,

"This is the Han general Zhuge Qiao who used the corpse of the old general Han to open the gate of Xiaoting that day." Zhou Tai also arrived at the time when Zhuge Qiao and the others were talking, and there was a sense of sarcasm in his words.

"Uncle Zhou, nephew Zhuge Qiao is right," Zhuge Qiao responded to Zhou Tai.

"I, Zhou Tai, am too old to be the uncle of a young man like you." Zhou Tai responded disdainfully

"Bo Song, Uncle He is late, don't take it for granted." He Qi, who was following behind, saw Zhou Tai's attitude and knew that he did not listen to Lu Xun's words. Afterwards, someone used the dead body to swindle and open the city gate of his side, how could he bear it as a good friend from the past.

"Nephew, meet Uncle He," Zhuge Qiao also responded immediately;
"General Zhou, take your seat quickly and the banquet will begin soon." Seeing that Zhou Tai was dissatisfied with Zhuge Qiao, Ling Tong hurried over to persuade him;

"Hum..." Zhou Tai snorted coldly and walked towards his own position, and his position was naturally the first on the left; in the Han Dynasty, the right was generally respected, so the royal relatives and nobles were called "right" relatives, and the aristocratic family The big family is called "You Family" or "You Surname".The respect for the right and the inferiority for the left are manifested in the buildings and residences. The wealthy and aristocratic families must live on the right of the urban area, while ordinary people live on the left of the urban area. It is no wonder that Zhou Tai is so angry.

Soon after Zhou Tai and others arrived, the envoys served the wine and dishes, which also marked the beginning of the banquet; The generals signaled that the generals agreed with Lu Xun and raised their wine glasses, but some people refused to buy it; Zhou Tai didn't seem to hear Lu Xun's voice, and drank on his own.

Zhuge Qiao was also stunned by Lu Xun. He didn't expect to greet him so warmly, and there seemed to be something hidden in his words; "I should have a drink first, uncles," Zhuge Qiao responded holding the wine glass.

"Bo Song don't refuse, I'll do it first as a respect," said Lu Xun, holding the wine glass in his hand and drank it down in one gulp.

Zhuge Qiao had no choice but since others had done it, it was impossible for him not to give face, and this person was still Lu Xun, so he could only drink it up.

"Uncles and generals, this time Bosong came here, entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor of Han, to negotiate a truce; and to restore the alliance between the two countries, so as to continue to realize the situation where Sun and Liu jointly resisted Cao," Zhuge said calmly; If you don't say anything else, there will be no chance. Lu Xun is too polite to him, and if he has nothing to do, he is either rape or robbery, and Lu Xun seems to have something in his words.

As soon as the words fell to the ground, the whole banquet immediately fell into heated discussions. Who would have thought that Zhuge Qiao was actually an envoy sent by Liu Bei to Soochow; what surprised them even more was that Liu Bei would also have a truce!Only two people remained calm, namely Ling Tong and Lu Xun who already knew the news.

"Liu Bei said he would stop fighting if he wanted to. Do you really think that Soochow is so easy to bully?" Zhou Tai immediately shouted at Zhuge Qiao, his eyes were also full of anger.

"It's up to Marquis Wu to decide whether the war will be fought or not, so why should we discuss it?" Lu Xun immediately stopped the general after seeing the endless discussion,
"I don't know if Bo Song holds any position under Liu Bei's tent," Lu Xun continued to ask Zhuge Qiao.

Zhuge Qiao was also very puzzled, why Lu Xun would ask about his official position, which has nothing to do with the messenger; "School Captain" Zhuge Qiao replied.

"Haha, Liu Bei is too talented, Bo Song is just a school lieutenant," Ling Tong sighed in surprise;

"Bo Song, it's not Uncle Lu talking about you. If you have your talents, you are at least a general in our Soochow Wu, and no one dares to object," Lu Xun also echoed.

"Uncle Lu, it's flattering; in fact, Bo Song doesn't have any talent, he just had better luck," Zhuge Qiao explained.

"If Bosong has no talent, then what are we? I am afraid that Bosong's name has spread all over Jiangdong, but the people are all sad. They are all lamenting why Bosong is a Han general and not a Wu general; How did they know that Bo Song was originally from Wu, but he became a general of Han in the end?" Lu Xun said slowly through his drunkenness.

All Wu generals also focused their eyes on Zhuge Qiao at this moment, and they naturally heard the meaning behind Lu Xun's words; Zhuge Qiao was about to speak,,,

"Bo Song, look at the people in my Jiangdong, they all hope that you are from our Wu, and you are also from my Wu; can you abandon the post of captain under Liu Bei's account and come to Dongwu as a general? Obey the wish of my Jiangdong people; and your father and brother must miss you very much. Wouldn't it be nice to have a family reunion and help Marquis Wu together?" Lu Xun did not give Zhuge a chance to speak, but continued to persuade;
"Uncle Lu, do you know what school captain I was named?" Zhuge Qiao asked Lu Xun seriously.

Lu Xun was also surprised to see Zhuge Qiao's sudden and serious question, "Could it be Captain Changshui?" Lu Xun guessed;

"It's Lieutenant Yao Yao," Zhuge Qiao said in a low voice. [The author asks for recommendations and collections; I wish everyone a good mood every day! 】
