The Shuhan Empire of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 72 Jiangdong Civil and Military
Jiangdong Wenwu
As soon as Zhuge Qiao's words fell, Lu Xun, who was drunk and somewhat confident, frowned fiercely, his passionate eyes turned into a cold murderous look, and the wine glass in his hand seemed to be unable to withstand his strong tiger's mouth , slipped out.

However, a trace of respect flashed across Zhou Tai's ferocious eyes, and Ling Tong stared at Zhuge Qiao in disbelief.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Zhuge Qiao also sighed helplessly: I know you will not accept it, but you have to say it!
"Bo Song, Uncle Ling, here's a toast to you, to our future champion." Seeing Lu Xun's dazed expression, Ling Tong sipped at Zhuge Qiao.

"Uncle Xie Ling praises it, Bo Song will certainly live up to Captain Yao Yao," Zhuge Qiao responded, and then drank it down.

Lu Xun also seemed to be awakened by the sound of Ling Tong drinking, picked up the glass and filled it again, "Bo Song, Uncle Lu lost his temper just now; come, let's have a toast to the future champion Hou," said Lu Xun, raising his glass to everyone It's just that Zhou Tai still didn't respond.

Zhuge Qiao watched the friendly expression in Lu Xun's eyes gradually disappear, and naturally he was deeply moved; you and I are the masters of each other, and I am not myself, and you are indeed one of my biggest enemies. I only hope that when we meet again in the future , It was you instead of me who fell on the ground, Zhuge Qiao swallowed the words in his heart completely along with the wine in the cup.

"Jingzhou is now in wartime. It is inconvenient to walk in Jingzhou under the flag of your Shu Han. Let our army send a team of soldiers to escort Bosong to Wuchang." Things are not in words.

"It would be best if it could be like this, Bo Song thanked you," Zhuge Qiao clasped his fists in return; but he suddenly felt a hint of conspiracy, but he was relieved when he thought about the evaluation of Lu Xun by later generations.

As Lu Xun's strategy did not succeed, the banquet ended hastily; "Captain, is this the end of the war in Jingzhou?" He Qi asked Lu Xun, after Zhuge Qiao left, the Wu generals got together again;
"The Han army has no intention to fight, and our army's morale is high because of just a big victory, but we don't have the advantage in the whole battle situation. If the Public Security City is in the hands of the Han army, we will have no initiative, unless,,," Lu Xun wanted to say something forbidden

"Did the governor think of something?" Luo Tong looked at Lu Xun hesitantly and guessed something.

"I want to surprise the Han army's grain road. After all, the Han army has penetrated into our Wu land for hundreds of miles, the grain road must be difficult; if our army surprises the Han army's grain road, the Han army on the front line will definitely lose their morale due to lack of food. There is a chance to break the Han army again; but Liu Bei is guarding the grain road in Zigui for a hundred miles, our army has no chance!" Lu Xun sighed helplessly;
"I didn't expect Liu Bei to have such a trick." He Qi also sighed.

"Let's stop the war according to Liu Bei! General Zhou, I will go to Jiangling City tomorrow, and Yidao City will be handed over to you. Don't be careless." Lu Xun said to Zhou Tai, and he didn't mean to blame Zhou Tai at all. There was a look of anticipation.

"Captain, but I want to see Zhuge Jin?" Luo Tong seemed to have thought of something and asked.

As soon as Luo Tong's words fell to the ground, the rest of the generals also stopped their eyes on Lu Xun. If Lu Xun really went to Jiangling City to meet Zhuge Jin, then there would be only one result.

"Zhuge Qiao has the style and talent of a general, what a pity!" After saying that, Lu Xun left and walked straight to his camp, leaving behind the generals who hadn't recovered yet.

On this day, it was a gloomy day, there was not a single gap in the dark clouds that was white, and the whole sky was black and blue. When I looked up at the sky like this, the time seemed to be very, very long. Looking at it, the sky seemed to be getting closer and closer. Reaching out your hand seems to touch the clouds, that beautiful place.

Faced with such weather, Zhuge Qiao thought that it was the same situation before the battle of Rilanshang that day. This is a good omen, Zhuge Qiao said to himself.

Riding on the horse, Ma Di looked at Wuchang City which was getting closer and closer, the passion in his heart that had been dull for a long time was gradually ignited by the excitement in his eyes.

"Youchang, these literati in Jiangdong are all eloquent talents, you can have confidence," Zhuge Qiao said with a smile to Ma Su;
"Thanks to Bosong's trust, I'm ready." Ma Di clasped his fists at Zhuge Qiao, and the pride in his words seemed to tell Zhuge Qiao that I was waiting for this day.

Seeing Ma Su's self-confidence, Zhuge Qiao also sighed secretly: How could he train you to be a good general without going through some wind and rain. Jiangdong literati are not as simple as you imagine.

Under the city of Wuchang; two rows of soldiers stood about ten steps away from the city gate, and a general stood in front of them as if waiting for someone.

"Dare to ask, but the one sitting in the car is Zhuge Qiao, the envoy of the Shu Han Dynasty, Xiaoyao Xiaowei?" The general asked Zhuge Qiao and clasped his fists immediately when he saw Zhuge Qiao and his group approaching, and his eyes were full of admiration.

"My lord, Zhuge Qiao, may I ask the general?" Zhuge Qiao walked out of the car slowly, and responded to the general;

"The last general, Lv Ju, was ordered by Marquis Wu to wait for Lieutenant Yao Yao of the Shu Han." Lu Ju clasped his fists and replied; but Zhuge Qiao was surprised that Lu Ju was Sun Quan's son-in-law, and Sun Quan sent him to greet him , it seems that Sun Quan is really scared.

"Thank you," Zhuge Qiao replied.

"Come with me to see Marquis Wu, Marquis Wu and all the civil and military officials have been waiting for a long time," Lu Ju said;

How did Sun Quan know that I came today, Zhuge Qiao thought to himself.

Under the leadership of Lu Ju, Zhuge Qiao and his party began to march towards the hall where Sun Quan was discussing affairs. Naturally, the people of Wuchang would not be able to leave their imaginations all the way. After all, it was wartime, and Han soldiers suddenly appeared in the city. intention.

The hall where Sun Quan discusses affairs; Sun Quan sits high on the throne, with civil and military officials standing below, with civil officials on the left and generals on the right, and they seem to be waiting for someone. "My lord, why is it necessary to treat such a small envoy with such a ritual?" Kan Ze stood up and asked;

Sun Quan stared at him displeasedly, "He is an envoy representing the Shu Han, or the son of Zhuge Ziyu, so it doesn't matter."

"It's just that I thought that by doing so, the envoys of the Shu Han would think that I, Soochow, were afraid of their military power," Kan Ze continued;
"My lord, the last general also agrees with Runde's opinion. We should leave the envoy of Shu Han in the post house and summon him in a few days, so that he can know that I, Soochow, are not afraid of him. General Lu Fan of Jianwei also stood up to support Kan Zedao.

"The lord and minister also agree with Runde's opinion; after all, Liu Bei only sent Zhuge Qiao as an envoy, and a young child can go to Dongwu as an envoy. It can be seen that Liu Bei doesn't take the lord seriously; if my lord is kind Hospitality, then the arrogant heart of the Shu Han will be completely satisfied, and the Lord will definitely not be taken seriously in the future," Bu Zhi also said.

Sun Quan refuted,,,

"My lord, the Shuhan envoy is already waiting outside the hall!" At this moment, an envoy suddenly ran in with small steps.
