Liu Cong saw Lu Yi looking at him with a strange look, and realized that he might have misunderstood the other party's meaning. He blushed, sat down and said, "My Lord, I didn't think too much about it."
Seeing this, Lu Yi glanced outside and said, "Huh?" He said, "It's getting late. Second Young Master, I have something else to do today, can you please excuse me first?"
Liu Cong: "."
Are you trying to whet my appetite?
He looked at Lu Yi pitifully.
Finally, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"
If you don’t say it, don’t say it.
Without you, would I, Liu Cong, still be alive?
Seeing that Liu Cong agreed to leave, Lu Yi quickly left with Nangong Yan and Lu Shisan.
After leaving the back door, Lu Shisan looked around and saw no one. Then he lowered his voice and asked Lu Yi: "Wu Hou, do you want to send troops over? It's too dangerous! There are no soldiers following me. If something bad happens, I will die." Take the blame!"
Lu Yi smiled and said, "Are you afraid? I'm not directly plotting Jingzhou's plan."
However, despite saying this, Lu Yi still stopped and pondered for a moment before continuing to leave.
The three of them didn't walk long before they met Shi Huan driving a carriage to greet them.
After getting on the carriage and returning to his residence, Lu Yi immediately wrote three letters and put them into three small bags.
These three small bags have names written on them.
A Wu County Wu County Chen Deng.
A Zhu Zhi from Lujiang County.
Tai Shici from Yuzhang County.
After summoning Lu Shisan, Lu Yi handed him three small bags and said, "Find the three most reliable people and deliver these three letters to these three people respectively."
"Remember, even if you die, these three letters must be sent out, and they can only be sent to three people."
Lu Shisan looked very serious, nodded vigorously, and went out with three small bags.
After that, Lu Yi asked Shi Huan and Nangong Yan to call Chen Gong and Zhuge Liang over.
The three of them were sitting in the bedroom.
Zhuge Liang was the first to speak: "Brother-in-law, you came to me because-"
Lu Yi said solemnly: "I just went to the Second Young Master to verify what I wanted to verify."
"Now, I have a strategy that can cause civil strife in Jingzhou."
"Once there is civil strife in Jingzhou, Jiangdong will take advantage of the situation and attack."
"It will be much easier if we take Jingzhou."
"My prediction is that Jingzhou will be in civil unrest in the next two years."
"Chen Deng told me before that he estimated that Hebei Yuan Shao and Youzhou Gongsun Zan will decide the winner within one or two years, and Hebei Yuan Shao is very likely to win."
"Once Yuan Shao wins, he will definitely take advantage of the situation and go south."
"At that time, Cao Cao and Xuzhou will bear the brunt."
"Xuzhou is blocked by Zhao Yun, and Guangling is responsible for assisting."
"We can relax for now."
"As for Cao Cao, Cao Cao does not have our advantage. When the time comes, he will definitely use all his strength to fight against Yuan Shao."
"Otherwise, once Yuan Shao's army takes Xudu directly, he will have no chance at all."
"And if we give Cao Cao another chance, promise not to make a sneak attack, and form an alliance with him not to attack each other, do you think Cao Cao will fight against Yuan Shao with all his strength?"
Chen Gong nodded and said, "Definitely."
After a pause, Chen Gong said: "So, the purpose of Wu Hou's visit this time is for me to go to Xudu and ask Cao Cao for a marriage? Use marriage to tighten the alliance with Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao can completely relax and fight against Yuan Shao, thus providing Jiangdong with an opportunity to capture Jingzhou, which is experiencing civil strife?"
Lu Yiqiang laughed and said: "This matter is very dangerous. Moreover, you and Cao Cao are inextricably linked. But now, you are the only one who understands Cao Cao's character best——"
Chen Gong said: "It is my honor that Marquis Wu can trust me. Moreover, Cao Cao does not dare to kill me at this time."
"Although Cao Cao is a traitor, I hate him very much."
"But I also know him. He is not the kind of person who doesn't care about the overall situation."
"For the sake of hegemony, he will endure what ordinary people cannot endure."
"Even if it's Han Xin's crotch humiliation, he can do it."
Lu Yi held Chen Gong's hand and said, "But I'm still worried about putting you in danger. What if something unexpected happens——"
Lu Yi took a deep breath and said, "If something unexpected happens——"
Lu Yi suddenly pulled out his sword and stabbed his left palm.
Chen Gong and Zhuge Liang both exclaimed: "Marquis Wu (brother-in-law)!"
Lu Yi pulled out his sword, waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter."
Looking at Chen Gong, Lu Yi raised his bleeding left hand and said: "I, Lu Yi, swear on my blood that if something happens to you, Gongtai, I, Lu Yi, will do my best to avenge you. Moreover, I will definitely take your eldest daughter to Gongtai. As a concubine, your mother in Gongtai is my mother. I treat the Gongtai family as the second Lu family."
Chen Gong saw the blood coming from the wound on Lu Yi's left palm, sighed and said, "Wu Hou doesn't have to be like this."
"Since I am willing to assist Wu Hou, I choose to believe that Wu Hou will not be like Cao Cao and Lu Bu."
Lu Yi smiled and said: "If you want to believe it, that is your business. And I, as the lord, must also express my stance."
Looking at the wound, Lu Yi said with a serious face: "Moreover, with this wound, no matter when I see it in the future, I will think of you, Gongtai, who shed your blood for me and Jiangdong." .”
"In the future, if there is a conflict or disagreement between us and I lose my temper, I will be able to bear all my murderous intentions."
"Because this wound will remind me."
"I, Lu Yi, am not the only one who has made the effort in Jiangdong."
"Gongtai, you almost lost your life because of this."
"Who am I to take away your life?"
"There is no distinction between the two of us in terms of our contribution to Jiangdong. There is only a difference in our positions."
Zhuge Liang: "."
Chen Gong's eyes were a little moist, and he crawled in the tunnel and said: "Chen Gong is willing to die for Wu Hou!"
Lu Yi also knelt down and said: "Lu Yi is willing to work with you, Gongtai, to do everything for Jiangdong to dominate the world!"
Helping Chen Gong up, Lu Yi said: "You have a good rest these two days. If you feel you have rested properly, ask Lu Shisan to arrange the necessary supplies and manpower protection. As for how to deal with Cao Cao when you arrive in Xudu, you can decide for yourself manage."
"You have only one purpose in going to Xudu this time, and that is to reassure Cao Cao that we in Jiangdong will not carry out sneak attacks behind his back."
Chen Gong nodded heavily and said: "Here!"
Zhuge Liang saw this and said, "Brother-in-law, treat the wound first."
Lu Yi looked at the wound and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. I'll tell you a few more words and it won't be too late to deal with it."
Zhuge Liang said: "Brother-in-law, you tell me."
Lu Yi said: "You said before that the eldest son is a nice person and has he asked you for knowledge?"
Zhuge Liang asked, "Brother-in-law, you want me to get close to the eldest son, establish a good relationship with him, and then help the second son win the title of heir apparent?"
Lu Yi: "."
Chen Gong: "."
Seeing that Lu Yi didn't answer, Zhuge Liang said, "That's okay. However, I have a request, brother-in-law."
Lu Yi came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "You tell me."
Zhuge Liang said: "If Jiangdong takes Jingzhou, I hope to treat the people of Jingzhou well."
Lu Yi said: "If we can really capture Jingzhou cleanly——"
Lu Yi was silent for a moment and said to Zhuge Liang: "At that time, I will find a way to convince others to let you guard Jingzhou."
"Jingzhou will definitely be an extremely important place for us in Jiangdong to capture Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, as well as Yizhou in the future."
Zhuge Liang flapped his feather fan a few times and said with a smile, "My brother-in-law and I have the same idea."
"If you want to dominate the world, Jingzhou is the top priority for Jiangdong."
"Only by winning Jingzhou will Jiangdong have the possibility of hegemony."
"Otherwise, if Jiangdong sticks to a corner, it will eventually be swallowed up."
"Since ancient times, it has been extremely difficult to fight from south to north. The fundamental reason is that the southern princes were unable to capture Jingzhou."
"Jingzhou has outstanding people, rich products, and a large population. It is also suitable for training both land and water armies at the same time."
"Once this place is taken over by the north, Jiangdong will just survive."
Lu Yi smiled and patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder and said, "I thought the same thing! The one who knows me is your second brother-in-law!"
Zhuge Liang also laughed a little happily.
Suddenly thinking of Pang Degong's instructions, Zhuge Liang hurriedly covered his face with a feather fan.
Lu Yi then stood up and said, "I'm going to treat the wound. It's really painful."
Chen Gong shook his head.
This is Wu Hou.
Sure enough, he is still a bit young and acts a bit extreme.
However, he likes it!
