Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 417 Meeting with Lu Su
When Lu Su came to Xiapi from Jiangdong, he had no other generals to accompany him except Lu Wenlong's guards. Such a brave man really deserved to be a brave and courageous man who went to the meeting alone in history.

Liu Xie didn't mean to embarrass Lu Su either, so after a warm welcome, he invited him to sit down, let Xun You accompany him, and started a formal conversation with him in his banquet hall.

"King Wu is a rare man of sages, so naturally he would not be ignorant of the huge gap between Guangling County and Qiao County. Although there is no gap, it is by no means comparable to each other. So it is not me. The master is stingy and refuses King Wu's request regardless of the relationship between the two parties. The loss is too great. There are many aristocratic families in Jiangdong, and the resentment aroused is not easy to appease."

Lu Su went straight to the point, sighed, and said directly that Liu Xie was too naive to exchange Qiao County, which had just gone through the war and was poisoned by Yuan Shu for a long time, for Guangling County, which relies on the sea and people.

After hearing Lu Su's words, Liu Xie was not angry, but looked at the young general Lu Wenlong beside him with great interest.

Lu Wenlong's weapon is imposing and extraordinary, like a sword hidden in a scabbard, it doesn't show its sharpness, but people can notice him at a glance.

Liu Xie has always felt very sorry for Lu Wenlong. The countless generals of the Yue family army, not to mention the father and son Yue Fei and Yue Yun, even Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing belonged to Yuzhou Kongyi and Youzhou Gongsun Zan successively, but in the end they all arrived by accident. under his command.

However, Lu Wenlong went directly to Jiangdong and became a young warrior under Sun Jian who was as famous as Sun Ce. Liu Xie had no chance to subdue him.

Moreover, Lu Wenlong became famous by defeating Cao Cao's famous general Wang Yanzhang in Runan before. Now he is famous, but he is still so calm, which is even more commendable.

"According to the nature of the system, if you guess correctly, Lu Xun, Lu Boyan, the fourth governor of Jiangdong who burned the camp for [-] miles, must be in the same family as Lu Wenlong. The Lu family has one civil and one military. This is a big deal."

Liu Xie was envious, but after all, there are countless talents under his command, so he quickly calmed down.

He just thought about what Lu Su said just now, and then retorted with a smile: "What is the use of a glass of water for a car salary, and what is the use of millet for a rich man? But for people who are dying of hunger and thirst, a glass of water It can save lives, and millet can bring life back to life. The value of a story object is not determined by itself, but by how it is needed. Waste can be turned into treasure, so why can't Qiaojun be equal to Guangling?"

Lu Su had heard about Liu Xie's eloquence for a long time, but it was still refreshing to hear his unique insights, and he was a little impressed. He said frankly: "King Wu's high theory has taught people a lot. It's just that after all It’s just empty theory, but it’s not necessarily feasible to apply it in practice. Guangling County is rich in people and goods, while Qiao County has experienced repeated wars. Just for this alone, the two places cannot be exchanged so simply and directly. Presumably King Wu If you have a big heart, you will definitely not want to take advantage of this point, and you will definitely give Jiangdong people a satisfactory answer."

Lu Su was very smart and cautious. From the beginning to the end, he never said that Jiang Dong also wanted to see the completion of this transaction. He always considered the situation from Liu Xie's point of view, and pushed all the problems to Liu Xie.

"Mr. Lu's words are wrong. Our transaction this time is not just an exchange between two counties. Sir, you should know that what my lord cares more about is the relationship with General Sun. If this transaction goes well, It’s okay for you and me to form an alliance.”

Xun You was prompted by Liu Xie's eyes, and immediately spoke out Liu Xie's deeper purpose.

Not only did Liu Xie want to trade Guangling and Qiaojun with Sun Jian, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to form an offensive and defensive alliance with him. Even if it was only in name, Liu Xie would try his best as long as possible.

Because in this way, at least when he was dealing with Yuan Shao and others, Sun Jian would not dare to attack from behind, otherwise he would be despised by the world.

After listening to Xun You's words, Lu Su couldn't help frowning and pondering. What he wondered was not that Liu Xie wanted to form an alliance with Jiangdong, but he was wondering whether Liu Xie's face was really thick.

Forming an alliance is something that is beneficial to both parties. Why they said it out loud seems like Liu Xie was a great favor to Jiangdong.

And after going around in such a big circle, Liu Xie still seems to be very single to exchange an incomplete Qiao County for their complete and prosperous Guangling County, and does not intend to add any bargaining chips at all.

"Since the coalition forces were discussing Dong, my lord and King Wu have forged a deep friendship. Now, although we are separated and each has people who need to be taken care of, logically speaking, Lu Su shouldn't argue so much with King Wu. But Xun Sir also said just now, since it is an alliance, my lord is very happy. But it is not only Wu Wang and my lord who are involved, this is a troubled world, I am afraid that we must ask Wu Wang to show some sincerity."

Before Lu Su came, he had discussed carefully with Jiangdong's counselor Zhang Zhao Zhang Gong and others. He knew that Liu Xie had repelled the four princes this time. It must be done, but Jiang Dong is the most suitable candidate.

And their Jiangdong is now restrained by the Yangtze River natural danger and Jingzhou Liu Biao and Liu Bei. It is very difficult to further develop on the territory, even if they have the best general talents like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

But Qiao County is a very suitable springboard for Jiangdong to break out of this shackles and spread outwards, which is of great strategic significance to them.

So this time the transaction between the two counties will definitely be successful when it comes to the end, and the key lies in how much benefit they can get.

And this depends on Lu Su's ability.

There is a long way to go, and Lu Su can only save his face and compare with Liu Xie.

Liu Xie looked at Lu Su's expression, estimated his bottom line, and knew that Lu Su had already moved, but he just didn't want to be taken advantage of by him for nothing, and was afraid that it would be difficult to explain when he went back.

"What Zijing said is not without reason. Sun Wentai and I have a very close friendship, and now we have become allies, so I have to express it to some extent."

Liu Xie stood up, smiled, walked to the unfolded map next to him, and said casually, "Qiao County is the link connecting Xuzhou and Runan. Now that Qiao County is handed over to Sun Wentai, Runan will be I'm alone, and I don't need to hold it in my hand anymore. Gongda, order all our people in Runan to withdraw to Xuzhou. This time they fought a battle and made great achievements. It's time to reward them It's been fixed."

After Liu Xie finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Lu Su meaningfully. Seeing his surprised expression, he nodded, but he didn't explain much.
