Empire's Summoning Generals System

Chapter 652 Inside Story
Mr. Tao said: "General, please be calm and don't be impatient. Please listen to my explanation."

"Okay, then tell me! I want to hear what you have to say!"

If it weren't for Mr. Tao being highly valued by Long Huan, as Long Huan's closest general in charge, Long Ting would not bother to talk to this frail scholar who can't lift a knife or draw a bow!
Mr. Tao bowed slightly to Long Huan and said, "My lord, no matter how bad Zhou Xu's behavior is, he is Lu Congshou's brother-in-law after all, and he is one of the top three generals under Lu Gong's command. After all, we have to submit to Lu Gong's command. How can Zhou Xu be evil?"

Long Huan hesitated and said: "Mr. Lu has written to me many times, and the letters are even more intimate. Even if Zhou Xu is violated, Mr. Lu can't blame me."

"My lord, Zhou Xu's sister is Lu Gonggong's wife, and Zhou Xu's father is the former lord of Jiangzhou. The status of the Zhou family is unimaginable in Jiangzhou. It is not due to the Zhou family that Lu Gong can secure the position of the lord of Jiangzhou. We have lost Lingzhou and Pule, just like water without a source and a tree without roots, so why should we have no foothold in Jiangzhou because of a little bad order?"

Mr. Tao persuaded in this way.

Long Juan was still full of doubts: "But if we obey Zhou Xu's order, wouldn't the [-] soldiers we stand in will be used by Zhou Xu? Without these [-] soldiers, we would have no status under Duke Lu's command." Say!"

"rest assured!"

But Mr. Tao said: "Let Zhou Xu make no mistakes on the surface. If Zhou Xu has an order, we will take it. If it is going to attack the city, we will increase our momentum and throw a few corpses down. Just give him an explanation."

Long Xun said happily: "Mr. is a good strategy. After all, we have ten thousand soldiers. Zhou Xu dared not force us even if we acted recklessly. If we surrendered to the Han army, even if he escaped with his life, Duke Lu would not spare him." he!"

"Exactly that!"

Mr. Tao twisted his beard on his lips and said triumphantly.

At this moment, Long Huan finally figured it out, and slapped his thigh, although the wound involved was painful, he still said happily: "Old Tao really has you, I remember your first achievement."

Mr. Tao hurriedly bowed and said, "This is my lord's blessing!"

Immediately, there was a burst of cheerfulness outside the camp, which attracted the soldiers on duty outside to probe their brains rather curiously.

Long Huan simply bandaged the wound, then ordered Long Jue to guard the camp well, while he took Mr. Tao and Long Juan to Zhou Xu's camp.

But at the moment of Pule City, Long Yun and Guo Jia watched the two big camps outside Zhouxu and Longhuan.

Long Yun said worriedly: "Zhou Xu is worthy of being a general under Lu Zhoumu's subordinates. This camp is indeed well-appointed, and there is a lot of method in leading the troops. Although we can mobilize 4000 people in our city, most of them are young men who can't stand on the stage. , I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat Zhou Xu!"

Guo Jia comforted him from the side: "Patriarch Long, don't panic. In my opinion, Zhou Xu and Long Huan will definitely not be in harmony, and the siege of the city will never last long, so please just wait at ease, Patriarch Long."

"What's the meaning? Long Huan has made friends with Lu Congshou in every possible way, and Zhou Xu is Lu Congshou's wife and brother. Why can't the two get along?"

Guo Jia shook his cattail fan lightly, but suddenly smiled and said, "At first I only knew that Lu Congshou was a hero, but I didn't know about Lu Congshou's personal affairs. Now that I've been in Pule for a few days, I learned about it from others What kind of character is Lu Zhou Mu?"

"I also ask the envoy to help me explain my doubts."

Long Yun said sincerely.

Guo Jia took Long Yun's hand but said: "Everyone has said that Lu Congshou is a hero, but Ji Changrun, the dog who guards the soil, is on the west side; Mu Mizhao of Yingzhou only knew about gods and ghosts, favored alchemists, and was extremely superstitious.

If Lu Congshou is really a hero, why didn't he make any progress in Jiangzhou, and only got half of the barren Lingzhou within a few years?you say?Why? "

"This, this, that Yizhou has a dangerous terrain. A single pass can block tens of thousands of troops, making it difficult to attack. Yingzhou and Nanzhou are full of miasma, snakes and insects. Even with a million troops, it is difficult to take back these two places, let alone What's more, Mi Zhao is superstitious, but he is a former nobleman of the Chu Kingdom, and the barbarians in Ying and Nanzhou obey his orders, so even if Duke Han is here, it may be difficult to win these two states, right?"

"And Lu Congshou was able to win half of Lingzhou because of the civil strife in my Long family. This allowed Lu Congshou to take advantage of it. If there was no civil strife, he would have been able to succeed. Since Long Kun and his son are here, Lu Congshou has not been able to Pick up something cheap under our hands. It's just now."

Let's not talk about Long Yun, after all, Long Kun was killed by the dead Han army, and he deserved his death.

"Haha, so to speak, this Lu Congshou's ability is no more than that!"

Guo Jia laughed unceasingly: "Patriarch Long, you underestimate this Luzhou Mu, and those who underestimated him are all dead. For example, his good husband, the former Jiangzhou Mu Zhoutong, also He is Zhou Xu's father."

"what!"

Long Yun stood up in surprise, "How is this possible!"

"Then why did Zhou Tong have a parent and son, and passed on Jiangzhou Mu to Lu Congshou?"

Guo Jia asked again.

"The news came that"

"The news from Jiangzhou is that Zhou Tong thinks that Zhou Xu is young and has no qualifications, so he can't inherit the Jiangzhou position?"

Guo Jia directly interrupted Long Yun's words.

"Yep!"

Long Yun could only keep responding, his mind went blank.

"Have you ever thought that it was Lu Congshou who concealed the news of Zhou Tong's death and changed Zhou Tong's will? After all, Lu Congshou was the prefect of Jiangzhong at that time, and he made great military achievements. The old Zhou Tong could no longer hold him back. So, isn't it very simple for Lu Congshou to block the news?
And Zhou Xu was not in Jiangzhong at that time, but was serving as the commander of a battalion at the border. "

Long Yun was already stunned, and finally asked Guo Jia dry-mouthed: "What does the envoy mean?"

Guo Jiadao: "The years when Lu Congshou didn't make any progress, he was just cleaning up the internal affairs. Now it's the turn of Zhou Xu, who can finally threaten his status. There is a chance to completely master Jiangzhou.

But now that the Central Plains are settled, the Duke of Han has taken control of eleven prefectures in the world, and he will soon go south. Lu Congshou has no chance to get rid of Zhou Xu quietly. He can only send Zhou Xu out to kill Zhou Xu with our sword. How can I? Let Lu Congshou get his wish? "

"And now Zhou Xu should also know that Lu Congshou wanted to murder him, so he also pretended to obey Lu Congshou. Otherwise, how could Lu Congshou let him lead the army?"

"In the final analysis, Zhou Xu wanted to get rid of Lu Congshou, so it made sense not to take that Mr. Jiang's life seriously, but after all, Zhou Xu lacked wisdom, how could Dragon Ring be at Zhou Xu's disposal? So, The final result can only be Zhou Xu returning to Jiangzhou in despair, or surrendering to us, it's just one of two choices!"
