Chapter 144 Abandonment

Blue waves are stacked with waves, and the white clouds are leisurely.

Above the river, a battleship goes down the east, and its way is like the wind.

On the deck, Lu Su stood with his hands on his hands and looked at the end of Tianshui in a daze.

"It turns out that Zijing is blowing here."

A leisurely voice came from behind him. Lu Su came back from the divine tour. Looking back, a short and black man in blue was coming to him with a smile.

The person who came was Pang Tong. At the beginning, Lu Su received a secret order from Sun Quan and was about to leave Baqiu to go to Muling. He happened to meet Pang Tong coming from Jiangling. At the order of Zhou Yu, he also went to work in Muling, so Lu Su invited him to go with him.

"The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the river breeze is in a good mood. Since Mr. Shi Yuan is on the deck, he might as well enjoy this leisure with Su."

Pang Tong smiled and stepped forward to stand side by side with Lu Su, and his eyes turned to the ethettic sky. "Wu Hou urgently summoned Zijing back to the Mingling. Presumably Miss Sun's marriage can't be decided, so I want to ask Zijing's opinion."

Lu Su was shocked. Although Sun Quan mentioned this matter in the secret letter, Lu Su also guessed why Sun Quan summoned him, but he did not disclose it to outsiders in advance, but he did not want to be easily guessed by Pang Tong.

"Why did Mr. Shi Yuan say this?" Lu Su was not in a hurry to admit it.

Pang Tong smiled faintly, "The matter of Er Liu's begging for marriage has been in a lot of trouble. Zi Jing is the person trusted by the Marquis of Wu. He was called back to the mausoleum by the Marquis of Wu at such a delicate moment. If he doesn't do this, why can he do it?"

So that's it.

Lu Su's heart was secretly ashamed. Pang Tong's speculation was so simple that he was still suspicious for a long time.

After laughing to hide his inner shame, Lu Susuo asked, "Since you have guessed it, I don't know how I should make advice to Wu Hou."

"Zi Jing asked me like this, don't you know that I went to Yangling this time, entrusted by the governor of Zhou, and also spoke to Wuhou about this matter?" Pang Tong replaced the answer with rhetorical questions.

The deep meaning in Pang Tong's words is quite obscure. In fact, it is implying that for such a major matter, Wu Hou did not ask Zhou Yu, the nominal first minister, but for the opinion of Lu Su, and I represent Zhou Yu. At this moment, the positions of the two are very likely to be inconsistent. Then, Lu Su naturally has something to ask each other like this. It's not appropriate.

Lu Su immediately understood and immediately laughed, "Gong Jin and I are friends of life and death. Sir, I don't quite understand this."

Pang Tong also smiled, but he smiled a little strangely. He turned around and suddenly asked, "I have also heard about the friendship between Zi Jing and Governor Zhou. It is said that Zijing was also a rich man in his family. At that time, the governor of Zhou passed by. Because of the lack of food, he led the army to borrow grain from Zijing. Zijing did not frown and simply gave a warehouse of 3,000 yuan of grain generously. Therefore, he was appreciated by the governor of Zhou, and the two became close friends.

Everyone in the south of the Yangtze River knows the friendship between Zhou Yu and Lu Su, and Lu Su's chivalrous reputation is also spread far into the north and south of the Yangtze River.

When Pang Tong mentioned this good story, Lu Su listened to it and was used by himself. He unconsciously showed a little pride on his face, but he was modest again.

After the compliment, Pang Tong came closer, and his expression suddenly became mysterious. He whispered with a smile, "The governor of Zhou is really good-looking. He has to bring troops to the door to borrow grain. In fact, he has been guessing that if Zi Jing refused to borrow grain at that time, would the governor of Zhou wave his troops directly to grab it?"

Under these words, Lu Su's heart was suddenly hit by a whip, and there was a kind of heartache in an instant.

Pang Tong's words are actually very clear. He is implying that the friendship between Lu Su and Zhou Yu is far from as good as that praised by the world. For Lu Su, this so-called friendship is not so much caused by fate as forced out.

The past came to his mind, and Lu Su would never forget that Zhou Yu led Jiashi at the beginning and came in a menspecting scene. In that incomputable tone, he openly asked to borrow a thousand yuan of grain.

Lu Su knew very well that if he dared to refuse, the sword in Zhou Yu's hand would never show mercy.

At that time, Lu Su had an idea and thought that the grain must be borrowed, and it was borrowed but not returned. Instead of hesitating, why not be a smooth person and fall into the name of generousness and boldness, so he simply tripled it and directly borrowed 3,000 dewtium.

At that time, Zhou Yu was just for food. As long as he could borrow a thousand grains, he did not intend to embarrass Lu Su, but what he didn't expect was that this low-level giant businessman could be so generous and worthy of making friends with such extraordinary people.

A friendship exchanged with swords and interests, in addition to the people of the world, who knows the truth.

Lu Su didn't expect that Pang Tong's insight was so profound that he could infer the truth of the whole thing just by relying on this story circulating outside.

After being hit by Pang Tong, Lu Su did not deny it. He suddenly thought of something and said, "Mr. Shi Yuan, you just said that you were entrusted by Gong Jin. Why do your words now seem to be a little inconsistent with your identity?"

Pang Tong laughed and said bluntly, "I might as well tell Zi Jingming that now that Zhou Lang's achievements have shocked the master, and Wu Hou has long been suspicious. It is bound to take advantage of Liu Xuande's opportunity of Nanjun to abandon Zhou Lang. If you and I are tied up with Zhou Lang again, there will be a hundred harms but no benefit. At this critical moment, we will never You can stand in the wrong line."

Pang Tong's heart and lungs shocked Lu Su, but after a calm analysis, Lu Su soon understood that what Pang Tong said was right at all. All kinds of signs showed that Wu Hou was indeed planning to abandon Zhou Yu.

As Pang Tong said, isn't this an opportunity given to him by God?

With this in mind, Lu Su said in a low voice, "I'm really moved that Shi Yuan can tell me these truths. But I don't know what Gong Jin means in this matter?

"Nanjun was beaten by Zhou Lang. When he heard that Liu Bei wanted to borrow Nanjun, he was naturally furious. Not only did he not agree to borrow Nanjun to Liu Bei, but he also asked me to ask Wuhou to ask Wuhou to take down the two Liu together and put them under house arrest in Jiangdong. Then he took the opportunity to annex the territory of Er Liu's soldiers and horses and annexed Jingzhou in one fell swoop. "

Lu Su's expression changed immediately and said in surprise, "How can Gong Jin have such a big appetite? If he does so, he will not persuade Wu Hou, but will make Wu Hou more suspicious of him."

Pang Tong sighed, "I think so too, but Zhou Lang was angry and stubborn. Think about it, if we still have the same nostrils as Zhou Lang, what will Wu Hou think of us?"

Lu Su nodded heavily and asked, "In my opinion, how should I give advice to Wuhou when I go back to Muling this time?"

Pang Tong raised a sneer at the corners of his mouth and stroked his beard and said, "It's very simple. In fact, we don't need to have our own ideas at all. As long as we figure out Wu Hou's thoughts, we can take advantage of the situation."
