Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 418 The Dust Settles
"I didn't expect Liu Xie to be so generous. He even gave up Runan, a large county that is even richer than Guangling County. What he just said seemed unintentional and he didn't directly promise anything, but the implication is that he told me , after he withdraws his troops, Runan will become an unclaimed land, does it belong to whoever takes it?"

Lu Su was shocked inside, and the hands hidden in his sleeves could not help but clenched into fists, feeling a little excited.

"It's really courageous to exchange two counties for Guangling County at once. Only Liu Xie has this capital. And as long as he sticks to the territory of the three states and manages the iron barrels, he will be impregnable. This deal will be beneficial to him There is absolutely no way to say that he is at a disadvantage. With such knowledge, he is indeed a difficult opponent. No wonder he was able to develop into the most powerful prince in the world just by being a prince. "

What surprised Lu Su when he arrived was not Liu Xie's generosity, but his foresight and courage.

It's just that he thought too much and never thought that if Liu Xie really wanted to give them a piece of Runan and Jiangdong without any reservation, why didn't Liu Xie just say it outright, so that he could still sell them a favor?
If it were someone else, they would be able to easily detect that there is something tricky in it, but although Lu Su has great wisdom, his personality is like a cattle, honest and loyal, and he doesn't think too bad of people.

And Liu Xie and Xun You did it deliberately for Lu Su's character.

Lu Su now thinks that Liu Xie is going to exchange Runan and Qiaojun with them. When he returns to Jiangdong, he will only say what he understands. People in Jiangdong will also subconsciously follow Lu Su's way of thinking. In this way, even Sun Jian and the others would not be able to see the problem, and would definitely agree to it with full of joy.

As everyone knows, if Liu Xie leaves Runan, Liu Bei will come soon.

As Liu Xie said, the value of something depends on the degree to which it is needed.

For him, Runan was not of much use to him, but now using it as a bait can not only facilitate the alliance with Jiangdong, but also deepen the conflict between Sun Jian and Liu Bei, killing two birds with one stone, which is of great use.

"Believe what I mean, Zijing has already understood. My sincerity has been shown. If Sun Wentai is willing, I will immediately order several armies to withdraw from Qiao County on the day of the alliance."

Liu Xie sat back again, picked up a cup of tea and took a few sips, savoring the fragrance in it, and said slowly to Lu Su.

"King Wu is full of sincerity and generosity, the people of Jiangdong will definitely praise Wu Wang's mind!"

Lu Su finally relaxed his frown, beamed with joy, and returned the greeting with a smile.

The two sides talked about the most important things, and they were satisfied, and they chatted a few words in the rest of the time.

Liu Xie also knew from this that Lu Wenlong was the eldest son of Lu Jun, the head of the Lu family, and he had two younger brothers and a younger sister.

And this second brother was Lu Xun, the governor of Soochow, and Lu Boyan, the governor of Soochow who burned down Liu Bei's Baidi City Tuogu in the Battle of Yiling!

It's just that Lu Xun is still young and still studying. Although he is very smart, his reputation is not obvious and unknown.

Liu Xie was afraid of being discovered by them, so he didn't act too deliberately towards Lu Xun.

However, he also began to notice that the princes of all parties are already consciously cultivating the talents of the next generation, such as Cao Ang, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang and others around Cao Cao, whether they are literary or military, they are very extraordinary.

Naturally, Liu Xie was not far behind. The most famous younger generation under him were Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's apprentices Jiang Wei and Deng Ai.

Now the two of them are either learning the art of war from their master, or asking the generals in the army for advice on martial arts. They are extremely diligent and progress very fast, and they are leaders in the academy.

Moreover, there are countless academies in his territory, and there is such a heaven-defying thing as printing, so he will never lag behind other princes. Liu Xie attaches great importance to this issue but is not worried.

On the second day, after Lu Su set off to return to Jiangdong full of joy, Liu Xie directly ordered Yue Fei and Chen Qingzhi to lead the troops back to Xiapi. He had sufficient confidence in Sun Jian's agreement to exchange and alliance.

And this time the Xuzhou Army's external operations have since come to an end.

Among them, Chen Qingzhi, Zhuge Liang and others are undoubtedly the ones who contributed the most. They usually take every step of the way, use people's hearts, and never act rashly.

At the same time, generals such as Yuwen Chengdu, Jiang Song, and Luo Cheng also became famous in one battle and became the best generals in the world. Liu Xie allowed them to join the Xuzhou Army to supplement the Xuzhou Army's strong general heritage.

Chen Qingzhi and Zhuge Liang lived up to expectations and made great contributions. Liu Xie simply praised them and asked them to return to Yanzhou first. One continued to lead the troops and prepare for war, while the other continued to serve as Yanzhou's valet. This left no one guessing Liu Xie's thoughts.

Yue Fei and the rest of the soldiers, especially the fierce and brave Yue Yun, were also greatly praised by Liu Xie.

"Now that the dust has settled, there is only one reply from the Sun Jian Alliance that will not cause any accidents. It seems that after staying in Xiapi for so long, it is time to return to Chenliu."

Standing on the tower of Xiapi, Liu Xie looked at the vast rivers and lakes in the distance, and felt that the blue sky and white clouds in midair were extremely bright.

The mountains and rivers are so beautiful, attracting countless heroes to bow down,
Liu Xie sighed, smug, stepped down the tower, saw Cheng Yaojin following behind him, but was taken aback, and stopped.

"Baijin, are you planning to go back to Chenliu with me or stay in Xiapi?"

Liu Xie looked at Cheng Yaojin who was thinking about something and almost bumped his head on him, and asked angrily.

"Ah, my lord, wherever you go, I, Cheng Yaojin, will naturally follow you."

Cheng Yaojin quickly patted his chest and promised, showing his loyalty, coupled with his stunned expression, it looked very funny.

"Forget it, you better stay in Xiapi. Shu Bao and Miss Pei are both in Xiapi. It's much better for you to stay here than to follow me back to Chenliu."

Liu Xie kept Cheng Yaojin by his side at the beginning because he was afraid that he would be too reckless and foolishly do something wrong.

After such a long time of getting along and training, although Cheng Yaojin is still stupid, he is not stupid, Liu Xie doesn't have to worry about him getting into trouble.

"My lord..."

Cheng Yaojin was about to say something, but Liu Xie signaled him not to say anything more.

Between men, why mother-in-law and mother-in-law say some sensational words, a temporary separation is not a parting of life or death.

Cheng Yaojin pursed his lips, and did not say "respect is worse than obedience" to himself.

Liu Xie didn't discover Cheng Yaojin's true thoughts, so he waved his hand to tell him not to follow up like Dian Wei and Xu Chu, and let him go free now.

"The big fool Yaojin has been solved, but my problem is a bit difficult to solve. Changsun Wugou, I don't know how to deal with it."

Liu Xie sighed silently, very distressed.
