After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

"Hahaha!" Zhuge Liang laughed, "Isn't Zijing blaming me?"

"Don't dare, dare not!" Lu Su hurriedly waved his hands and laughed.

Liu Bei stood up and said to Lu Su: "Zijing, I can't offer this first glass of wine to you, but to the mother and daughter who sacrificed their lives for the great cause!"

"Uncle Huang is right!" Lu Su nodded and said, "Even if the mother and daughter did not die in the flames, they probably died at the hands of Cao Cao!"

Liu Bei immediately spilled the wine in his glass on the ground: "To two martyrs!"

"Respect to the two martyrs!" Everyone toasted and spilled their glasses on the ground.

"Zijing, this second glass of wine is toast to you!" Liu Bei raised his glass to Lu Su.

Although the matter was planned by Liu Bei, in fact the middleman was Lu Su, and Liu Bei had never met the mother and daughter.

"Uncle Emperor is polite, I'll do it first as a respect!" Lu Su raised his glass and drank it down.

Putting down his wine glass, Liu Bei asked again: "Zijing, I have another question, how dare this mother and daughter go to assassinate Cao Ji?"

Lu Su said: "Uncle Huang should have known these three people!"

"Three people?" Liu Bei was puzzled.

Lu Su said: "This mother and daughter are the widows of Marquis Wen Lu Fengxian!"

"Lü Bu's wife and daughter?" Guan Yu frowned, his face full of regret.

Liu Bei asked, "Who is the third person?"

"Gao Shun!" Lu Su said, "It was he who escorted Lv Bu's wife and daughter to Jiangdong, and I sponsored Gao Shun many times after that!"

Liu Bei was shocked: "The leader of the camp, Gao Shun? Why didn't Zijing introduce him to Marquis Wu?"

Lu Su shook his head: "Gao Shun is devoted to protecting Lu Bu's wife and daughter, and has no intention of becoming an official in Jiangdong!"

"I see!" Liu Bei nodded.

Lu Su's reputation for donating money in Jiangdong is well known. Zhou Yu once borrowed grain from him, and Lu Su generously donated a warehouse of [-] dendrobium grain to Zhou Yu.

Since then, Zhou Yu and Lu Su have become close friends.

Zhuge Liang: "In this case, Gao Shun may also..."

"En!" Lu Su nodded.

"Hey!" Liu Bei sighed a long time: "In the past, I lived with Marquis Wen in Xuzhou, and it was a great pity in my life that I couldn't kill Cao thief together. Today, I toast the third cup to Gao Shun!"

After the words fell, Liu Bei raised his glass again and spilled the wine on the ground.

Everyone was pushing cups and changing cups.

Lu Su took the opportunity to ask Liu Bei: "Uncle Emperor, what do you think of Cao Cao's appointment of Liu Xian as a military adviser to sacrifice wine?"

"Hahaha!" Liu Bei and the others burst out laughing.

Lu Su was shocked: "Why are you laughing?"

Zhang Fei yelled: "Mr. Zijing, you don't know something. Liu Quide's ability is not much better than mine. He has become Cao Cao's military adviser to sacrifice wine. Cao Cao must die!"

Liu Bei nodded: "Yide is right, even though the servant Lao Huang is Cao Ji, Liu Xian is probably not even one ten-thousandth of Cao Ji!"

"Exactly!" Zhang Fei also said, "If Liu Xian is talented, how could my elder brother abandon him?"

"I don't think so!" Zhuge Liang shook his lupine.

Lu Su turned his head and asked, "What does Kong Ming think?"

Zhuge Liang shook his lupine fan: "This matter is quite strange, and it made me feel very foggy for a while."

"I agree with the military adviser!" Guan Yu said, "I insist that Liu Xian is Cao Ji, and Lao Huang is just his stand-in. Now that the stand-in is dead, Liu Xian can show his true colors!"

Zhuge Liang said again: "Perhaps, Cao Ji is not dead, this is just a conspiracy by Cao Ji or Liu Xian!"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Fei laughed loudly: "Second Brother, Military Advisor, are you taking this joke too far?"

Liu Bei was puzzled and said, "If Liu Xian is Cao Ji, why would he find a substitute? If Cao Ji fakes his death, Cao Cao has made a big mistake in the army. Could it be that he has shaken his own morale?"

Chapter 170 Zhou Yu questioned Lu Su, Zhuge Liang borrowed an arrow from a straw boat?

Zhuge Liang said: "Perhaps it was for Jiang Dong to see!"

Zhang Fei laughed: "It's ridiculous to kill one thousand enemies and harm yourself by eight hundred!"

Liu Bei raised his glass to signal: "In any case, Cao Ji's death is real or fake. Cao Cao's appointment of Liu Xian as a military adviser to sacrifice wine is a stupid trick. We should all drink and celebrate!"

"Yes, yes, brother is right!" Zhang Fei raised his glass: "Drink, drink!"

"Drink!" Everyone raised their glasses to signal.

The banquet lasted until the early hours of the morning.

Lu Su was fed all kinds of meat and vegetables, and he didn't even know how he got back to the big tent.

"Zijing, are you drinking too much?" Zhou Yu, who was sitting on the edge of Lu Su's bed, asked.

Lu Su waved his hand: "You're welcome, Uncle Huang. Killing Cao Ji was originally my Jiangdong's business. I should help!"

Zhou Yu's face changed suddenly when he heard this: "Zijing, you also participated in the assassination of Cao Ji?"

Lu Su, who was drunk, recognized Zhou Yu's voice, and sat up immediately in fright, half sober.

"Great governor, why are you in my tent?"

Zhou Yu said: "I heard that you just came back from Chai Sang and wanted to ask your lord what to say, but I never thought that you went to Liu Bei's tent first!"

Lu Su said: "The lord has rewarded Liu Bei with wine and meat, I'm going to deliver something!"

"Isn't that right?" Zhou Yu shook his head, "What Zijing said just now was that you participated in the assassination of Cao Ji!"

Lu Su nodded: "A little help!"

"Speak clearly!" Zhou Yu's attitude was firm and unquestionable.

Lu Su sighed helplessly, so he had to tell the truth.

After Zhou Yu heard this, he was furious: "These three people were all funded by you, and now they killed Cao Ji, but the credit falls on Liu Bei?"

"Calm down!" Lu Su waved his hand: "I did this to ease the relationship between the two families. If Liu Bei is killed because of this matter, it will not be good for Jiangdong!"

Zhou Yu turned and left without saying a word.

Early the next morning, Zhou Yu ordered Zhuge Liang and Lu Su to be summoned.

The two entered the big tent and greeted Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu asked Zhuge Liang about the assassination of Cao Ji in front of Lu Su.

Zhuge Liang's answers were fluent, and he spoke clearly and logically, but he didn't mention Lu Zijing at all.

"Hmph!" Zhou Yu snorted coldly, "The assassination of Cao Ji is all thanks to Zijing's merits, and Kong Ming's eloquence is so ridiculous!"

Zhuge Liang's face darkened immediately, and he bowed his hands to admit his mistake: "What the governor said is that this matter is all thanks to Zijing, and Zijing didn't let me say it!"

"That's right!" Lu Su nodded: "That's what I told Kong Ming earlier!"

Zhou Yu said: "Cao Cao's lieutenant generals were not acclimatized and vomited after boarding the ship. Now that Cao Ji has been killed, a little Liu Xian has become a military commander to sacrifice wine. This is the opportunity God gave me to Jiangdong!"

Lu Su asked: "Is the governor going to send troops to attack Cao?"

Zhou Yu asked Lu Su back: "Zijing, what is the priority in water warfare?"

Lu Su said: "Of course it's a bow and arrow!"

Zhou Yu said with a cold face: "Okay, go and supervise the making of [-] arrows for me, and you can finish it within ten days!"

"This?" Lu Su was stunned.

Zhuge Liang was a smart man, so he immediately bowed his hands: "The chief inspector, Zijing has a lot of military affairs to oversee the army. I am afraid it will be difficult to supervise the manufacture of arrows in a short time..."

"Okay!" Zhou Yu smiled: "Then I will leave this matter to you, Zhuge Liang. If you can't make it within ten days, I will cut off your dog's head!"

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan lightly and laughed: "Why do you need ten days? I can make it in three to five days!"

Zhou Yu was shocked. It was impossible to make [-] arrows in ten days.

Now Zhuge Liang actually boasted.

"Okay, then five days!"

"No, three days is enough!" Zhuge Liang said surprisingly.

Lu Su: "This..."

"Only three days!" Zhou Yu said.

"Obey!" Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and hurried out of the big tent, followed by Lu Su.

The two left the army side by side. Lu Su asked Zhuge Liang: "Why did Kong Ming take the disaster on himself?"

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Could it be that Zijing can't see it? The governor had this intention at first, and he asked you to supervise the building just to tell me. If I don't take over this matter, the governor may have a killer move!"

Lu Su shook his head: "Even so, you shouldn't ask for a promise to produce [-] arrows within three days. You are looking for death!"

"I'll go to Jiangxia to borrow arrows from Cao Cao!" Zhuge Liang said calmly.

"Crazy, are you crazy?" Lu Su shook his head, "How could Cao Cao lend you an arrow?"

"Hahaha!" Zhuge Liang laughed: "The Mountain Man has his own tricks!"

Lu Su shook his head and was speechless, no matter how much he asked, Zhuge Liang just didn't say a word.

The next morning, Zhou Yu sent someone to inquire about Zhuge Liang's progress.

After learning that there was no progress, I was even more puzzled.

Lu Meng said: "Commander, does Zhuge Liang want to escape?"

Zhou Yu slapped the table with a slap: "Pass my order, order Zijing, the supervisor, Zhuge Liang, to stay together day and night!"

"Obey!" Lu Meng clasped his fists and hurried to Lu Su to deliver the order.

Lu Su wanted to go to Zhuge Liang to help him solve the problem, so he set off immediately.

When they arrived at Zhuge Liang's big tent, they saw Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei drinking each other.

Lu Su asked: "Kong Ming, how many bows and arrows have you made?"

"Hahaha!" Zhuge Liang laughed loudly: "Don't worry, Zijing sit down and have a drink with me!"

Lu Su shook his head: "It's already this time, what wine do you still drink?"

Liu Bei said: "Zijing, you are too impatient, the military master has his own tricks!"

Lu Su was very helpless, so he had to sit down and drink with the two of them, chatting until late at night.

The next morning, Lu Su came again.

Only then did Zhuge Liang ask him for help, to allocate ships and make more straw people.

"Based on these, you asked Cao Cao to lend you arrows?" Lu Su was still puzzled.

"That's right!" Zhuge nodded, "That's all, Zijing will follow me from Sanjiangkou to Jiangxia at midnight tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Lu Su nodded.

At three o'clock that night, twenty straw boats set off from Sanjiangkou to Jiangxia Cao's camp.

Sitting in the straw boat, Zhuge Liang took out another jar of fine wine.

"Are you still drinking?" Lu Su shook his head.

"That's right!" Zhuge nodded and pointed out with his feather fan: "Zijing, let's see the weather today?"

Lu Su looked outside. Although it was still dark, the fog was thick and the visibility was extremely low.

Zhuge Liang said: "Dare to ask Zijing, if our army approaches Cao Jun's water village and beats drums and shouts, how will Cao Jun respond?"

Lu Su said bluntly: "Cao Cao is suspicious and dare not advance lightly. The best way is to shoot our army with bows and arrows!"

Zhuge Liang smiled: "Then ask Zijing to line up the straw boats and wait for Cao Cao to shoot!"

"Hahaha!" Lu Su also laughed: "Kong Ming, Kong Ming, no wonder people in the world say you are as smart as a demon, this trick is really amazing!"

"Being forced to do nothing, I have no choice but to make a bad move!" Zhuge Liang cupped his hands to signal.

The grass boat approached Cao Jun's water village quickly, and Lu Su ordered the soldiers to line up the warships.
