Borrowing grain from Jiangdong, Sun Ce didn't dare to think about this before. If it hadn't been for Lu Su's repeated assurances, Sun Ce would never have agreed to this matter.

Jiangdong and Jingzhou are great enemies of life and death. If it were his own Sun Ce, he would never agree to lend Jingzhou grain and grass. And for him, it was an insult in itself to let him ask his enemy for help.

For Jiangdong, Jingzhou not only has the hatred of killing his father, but also the hatred of taking his wife. Now, before he came out of this breath, he had to ask Jingzhou to borrow grain in a low voice. Sun Ce felt extremely uncomfortable about this. If Jiangdong hadn't really needed food and fodder at this time, he would never have borrowed grain from Jingzhou.

Although he agreed to borrow grain from Jingzhou by Lu Su, Sun Ce had no confidence. Therefore, after the crowd dispersed, Sun Ce sent someone to inform Zhang Zhao, who was far away in Wu County, and asked him to find a way to raise food and fodder as much as possible. Then he ordered the governor of Lujiang to collect grain and fodder on the spot for a rainy day.

Of course, not everyone has no confidence in Lu Su's borrowing of grain. Zhou Yu is one of them. Although Zhou Yu is not good at political communication, he has a good vision of leading troops to fight all day long. From the clues said by Lu Su alone, he can see the current situation in Jingzhou.

The points that Lu Su said can indeed force Jingzhou to borrow food, which he became more and more affirmed after Lu Su's suggestion. Whether the current situation in Jingzhou is good or not, the key is how determined Jiangdong is to fight with Jingzhou. If Jiangdong fights for Jiangdong and fights against Jingzhou, then Jingzhou will have to make a plan to die with Jiangdong, which is not what Jiangdong and Jingzhou are willing to see.

The next morning, Lu Su took Ling Tong and more than a dozen soldiers and left the camp for Jiangxia. Soon, the group came under the gate.

"Who is under the city? Stop quickly and report your name." As soon as Lu Su and others arrived at the city, a young general on the tower scolded. At the same time, the archers on the tower were also ready. As long as Lu Su and others moved a little, they would immediately shoot Lu Su and others on the spot.

"In Xia Lu Su, under the order of the Marquis of Wu, he came to Jiangxia to discuss with General Wenpin about the withdrawal of the army, and asked the general to pass it on." Lu Su didn't care, but raised his head and arched his hand to the young general above the tower.

"Wuhou? Retired?" The young general was shocked and hesitated, "You wait here, and I'll report to the general." With that, the young general ordered someone to inform Wen Ping about this matter immediately.

Lu Su saw that the alert on the tower did not relax at all because of his words. His heart tightened. He was very well aware of the power of the Flying Dragon Army. Now when he saw the military discipline of the Flying Dragon Army, he couldn't help nodding to himself. No wonder that the two cities of Xiling and Xiakou were not guarded by generals, and they still got nothing.

In the barracks, Zhuge Liang and Wen Ping are also discussing the retreat of Jiangdong.

"Military division, now the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Xiling and Xiakou have retreated. It seems that Sun Ce intends to retreat, but what's wrong with Jiangdong? Otherwise, why would Sun Ce withdraw his troops for no reason?" At this time, Wen Ping had regained his calm look and talked to Zhuge Liang leisurely.

"I don't know the reason for this, but no matter what Jiangdong is playing, Jiangdong has to withdraw its troops today." Zhuge Liang smiled and said that he had received the good news from Zhao Yun last night, but Wen Ping had rested last night, so Zhuge Liang had not told him about it.

"Oh, why did the military division say this?" Wen Ping looked at Zhuge Liang with some surprise: "Is it that the back hand arranged by the military division has already worked?"

"Ha ha, general, please have a look." With that, Zhuge Liang took out a bamboo slip from his arms and handed it to Wen Ping.

Wen Ping took Zhu Jian doubtfully and guessed what Zhuge Liang's backhand was. It's not that he hasn't asked Zhuge Liang's countermeasures these days, but Zhuge Liang always cares about his left and right. He has to put up with it. Now that the mystery has finally been solved, he is also curious.

"This..." Wen Ping opened the bamboo slip and was shocked by the above content at a glance: "Is this true?"

"What did the general think?" Zhuge Liang smiled and did not refute.

"Wow!"

Wen Ping exhaled, but the joy on his face could not be concealed: "Okay! OK! OK! This time, I see what else Jiangdong has to use to attack Jiangxia. This fire is so good that the whole Jiangdong may fall into turmoil. Sun Ce finally has the consequences.

"However, Chai Sangcheng is well-prepared. How did the military division let Zilong and 2,000 flying dragon guards enter the city?" After Wen Ping laughed, he couldn't help asking Zhuge Liang.

"Ha ha, it's nothing. I just borrowed Zhou Yu's name and let 2,000 flying dragon guards pretend to be Jiangdong soldiers and horses into the city. I didn't expect it to really work." Zhuge Liang shook his head. Such a strategy can only be used once. If it is used twice, it will be exposed.

"Now the situation in Jiangxia has also been alleviated, but I don't know what's going on in Xiangyang?" In a few days, Wen Ping and others have long learned about the situation in Jingzhou. They were restrained by Jiangdong's soldiers and horses two days ago. Now they can't help but be a little worried about Liu Qi.

"The general can rest assured that it can be said that it is easy to deal with those people by the master's means." Despite this, Zhuge Liang still has some worries in his eyes. The situation in Jingzhou is not as simple as it seems. Even if Jiangdong's army retreats, Jingzhou can't relax.

"Military division, now the soldiers and horses in Jiangdong are bound to retreat if they have no food and fodder. Do you want to pursue them in the opinion of the military division?" Wen Ping suddenly said.

"No, although Jiangdong's soldiers and horses were burned, Jiangdong's capture of Jiangxia counties must have gained something these days. Now the grain and fodder of Jiangdong's army is not unsustainable, and the rash pursuit will only make Jiangxia suffer heavy losses." Zhuge Liang shook his head to object. He originally wanted Jiangdong's soldiers and horses to attack the city for a long time. After receiving the news that the food and grass were burned, Sun Chengran would hastily withdraw his troops, but now Jiangdong's 100,000 troops have gathered to prepare to retreat. At this time, the pursuit is tantamount to fighting hard, which is no good for Jingzhou.

"Well, in this case, pay close attention to the movement of the Jiangdong army." Wen Ping was relieved. He was really afraid that Zhuge Liang would urge him to send troops in the name of burning Jiangdong's grain and grass, so that he would not publicly oppose the sending of troops.

"Ask to the general and the military division, outside the city, there is a person who claims to be an envoy of Jiangdong asking for a meeting." While the two were talking, Ma Liang came in in a Confucian costume.

Zhuge Liang and Wen Ping looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other's eyes. At this time, what's the reason for Jiangdong not withdrawing but sending messengers to come?

"Do you know who came?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"That man claimed to be Lu Su." Ma Liang bowed.

"Lu Su? It's him!" Both of them heard the shock in Zhuge Liang's voice.

"Does the military division know this person?" Wen Ping asked in surprise that as far as he knew, there was no one named Lu Su under Sun Ce's command.

It seems that the situation has changed today. Lu Su is a genius in the world. With his power in Jiangdong and Jiangdong, he will definitely go up another step. Zhuge Liang sighed.

"Oh, who is this Lu Su who can be so praised by the military division?" Wen Ping and Ma Liang's eyes are a little uncertain. Jiangdong and Jingzhou are life-and-death feuds, and the increase of Jiangdong's power is not a good thing for Jingzhou.

"Lu Su is a rare talent in Jiangdong. Over the years, he has been watching his mother's filial piety in his hometown, but he didn't expect to be found by Sun Ce." Zhuge Liang sighed and said, "At present, there are Zhang Zhao, Zhang Yu, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and other generals in Jiangdong. Zhou Yu was in charge of military affairs and planned for Sun Ce to attack the city and land, while Zhang Zhao was in charge of political affairs for Sun Ce to deal with Jiangdong government affairs to avoid Sun Ce's worries, which enabled Sun Ce to unify Jiangdong in just two years.

"However, although Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others are extraordinary, their vision is a little small. Although they can unify Jiangdong in Sun Ce, they can't stick to the same place. Now that Sun Ce has found Lu Su, the situation is very different. Although Lu Su has a reputation in his hometown, everyone thinks that he can be calm, and he is also determined to keep filial piety for his mother, so he does not perform too well. However, this person's vision is to include the whole world. Sun Ce is assisted by this person, just like a beast that has found its way around, and Jiangdong's power will definitely be improved. Zhuge Liang sighed.

He lives in seclusion in Wollonggang, but it does not mean that he does not understand the situation in the world. He makes people know clearly about the talented people in the world, and Lu Su is one of them. Another reason why Zhuge Liang did not say is that Zhuge Liang's brother went out to travel a few months ago. A few days ago, he sent a letter saying that he was visiting Lu Su's home. He also praised Lu Su and had decided to stay in Jiangdong for a short time.

"Military division, this person is so talented that he will definitely be the enemy of the lord in the future. Do you want to take the opportunity to take this person..." The gesture of Wenpin changed, and the meaning of the words is self-evident.

"No, how can a loyal person be treated like this?" Zhuge Liang immediately refused.

Seeing that Wen Ping was still hesitating, Zhuge Liang said, "Now the situation in Jiangdong is unknown, and Lu Su's position in Sun Ce's heart is still uncertain. If the general kills this man, once he angers Sun Ce and lets him sink the boat, then Jingzhou will be bad. What's more, the two armies can't break the rules first.

"What the military division got is that I was reckless." Hearing Zhuge Liang's analysis, Wen Ping sighed. How could Lu Su, such a talented man, Sun Ce, let him go into the city? Since he did this, Sun has made some precautions.

Zhuge Liang was also relieved to see Wen Ping. He was not afraid of Sun Ce and Jingzhou, because Sun Ce did not necessarily have this courage. He just didn't want Lu Su to be so young and didn't have time to show his talents. It's a pity that he died like this.

"Go and invite Lu Zi here." Zhuge Liang looked at Ma Liangdao.

"Military, wait a minute!" With that, Ma Liang saluted the two and turned around and walked out.
