Today, Liu Chan discussed with Deng Fang and Ma Liang the matter of sending an envoy to Wuling Man.
If he can win the hearts of the Wuling barbarians, Liu Chan's next trip to Jingzhou will be much smoother.
Therefore, he almost ate and lived with Deng Fang and Ma Liang all day today.
It wasn't until late at night that the three of them broke up.
Liu Chan was originally prepared to sleep with them. After all, there is no way to recruit these two talents.
However, as the commander-in-chief of the surrender, Deng Fang had important matters and could not stay for a long time. Ma Liang was sent as an envoy to Wulingman and had many things to arrange, so he did not stay in the palace overnight.
"Don't worry, young master, I also have some understanding of Wuling Man's situation. Wuling Man King Shamo Ke is not a rebellious person, and he admires the lord. We are here sincerely. Wouldn't he be convinced? We yearn for him?"
Ma Liang stood up and bowed slowly to Liu Chan. Although he was going to Wulingman as an envoy and headed towards Hushan, there was no fear on his face.
Instead, he looked excited. If he could leave now, he might not be able to stay with Liu Chan for a moment.
"If you have someone to work with, Wulingman's mission will definitely come true. If you have someone to work with, please!"
Liu Chan personally poured a glass of warm wine for Ma Liang and brought it to him.
Ma Liang stood up, took the wine bottle from Liu Chan's hand with both hands, and drank from it with his sleeves covered.
He turned the bottle over and drank the drink in one gulp.
"Thank you, sir."
He placed the wine bottle in front of the food table and said, "It's getting late, so I won't bother you anymore."
Ma Liang and Deng Fang both said goodbye and left.
"Son~"
After the two left, Guan Yinping slowly walked out of the back hall.
She is wearing a pink dress, with beautiful eyebrows, a straight nose, and a small mouth as red as a cherry. She is full of joy. Her waist is less than a handbreadth wide. The small village in front of her is beginning to show its size, and her slender legs set off her figure. Her infinite gracefulness is like a newly bloomed lotus floating in the middle of the clear water.
Good guy, this girl has learned how to seduce people.
"Sir, it's a long night."
Liu Chan stood up slowly and walked slowly towards Guan Yinping.
If I don’t feed you, how can there be peace in the future?
He took the beauty's hand and hugged her while the beauty screamed.
It was night, there was lightning and thunder in the palace, and it was windy and rainy.
Extraordinarily long~
...
Thousands of miles away.
On the edge of the river, there is a huge city standing in it, which is Jianye, the current political center of Jiangdong.
On the side of Jianye City, a palace that is not much worse than Jianye City is located next to it.
In the study room of the inner hall of the Jianye Palace, there sat a young man with a purple beard, clear eyes, a square mouth and a big mouth. He was wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt, a gold crown on his head, and deerskin boots on his feet. It exudes an aura of nobility and majesty.
But the expression on his face now is not so pretty.
In front of him, stood a young general in white robes. If it wasn't Lu Xun, who was it?
Compared with more than a month ago, Lu Xun's whole body was much darker, and his skin was not as smooth and white as before. His whole body was no longer as plump and smooth as before, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. Instead, he looked much more haggard, as if he had been a month. A few years older.
"Lord, this is what I saw and heard in Nanzhong this time."
Sun Quan's face was ashen and he lowered his head and said nothing.
Lu Xun also felt the pressure.
Since he entered Sun Quan's shogunate, he has successively served as the captain of Haichang Tuntian, the captain of Dingwei, and the right commander of the tent. In terms of outstanding achievements, the only one he can achieve is the conquest of Shanyue.
It was precisely because of the war against Shanyue that Sun Quan fell in love with him, so he betrothed his niece to Lu Xun and often consulted him to discuss the country's governance strategies.
The two talked about almost everything, and in their words, Lu Xun seemed to be entrusting him with the affairs of the country in the future.
However...
This time he went to Nanzhong, lost troops and generals, and returned without success.
Even if Sun Quan wanted to use him, he wouldn't dare to use him!
As the governor of Jiangdong, if he has no achievements, then who will obey him?
"I didn't expect the enemy to be in this expedition. I didn't expect Yong Kai and Meng Huo to be so unlucky. I even looked down on the young master Liu Chan. I thought he was just a little boy. If he dared to conquer Nanzhong, it would be really difficult. I didn't want to People are like the shadow of a famous tree. Since Prince Liu Chan has a reputation as a virtuous person, he is really not chasing the wind and catching the shadow.
Hey~
I have observed that what Young Master Liu Chan did in Nanzhong was quite heroic. This son will definitely cause great trouble to me in Jiangdong in the future! "
"Young Master Liu Chan is indeed extraordinary. Fortunately, I am in good health and can still endure with him."
When Sun Quan thought of his own heirs, he was really shameless.
He is inferior to Cao Cao's son, let alone Liu Bei's son.
Fortunately he is still young!
"What did you understand during this battle?"
Lu Xun thought that Sun Quan wanted to accuse him, so he paused and said, "The general will not be successful in the expedition. I hope my lord will punish him!"
"Punishment?"
Sun Quan shook his head and said, "How should I punish him, or in other words, why should I punish him?"
Sun Quan stood up from the couch, walked to Lu Xun, patted his shoulder, helped him up, and said: "To disturb Nanzhong is something we do casually. If it can be done, it would be great. If we can't do it, what's the loss? It's just a loss of more than a thousand soldiers, so it's not a pity."
He comforted Lu Xun and then said: "Victory and defeat are common things for military officers. You have been in military battles for a long time, so why don't you know? You just have to learn something from the defeat, so that you can live up to this trip to Nanzhong. Can you have some insights this time?" ?”
Enlightenment?
Lu Xun nodded lightly and said: "This time I led three thousand soldiers, but three thousand soldiers are still too few for Nanzhong. Yong Kai and Meng Huo each have tens of thousands of soldiers and do not obey me. If If I can convince them, and the sergeants of Nanzhong come under my command, no matter how talented Young Master Liu Chan is, he will never be able to take over Nanzhong!"
"This statement is both reasonable and unreasonable. If you can really convince Yong Kai and Meng Huo, they will still obey you even if you don't have soldiers in your hands."
Sun Quan took a deep look at Lu Xun and said, "Bo Yan, I know that you are talented and knowledgeable, but I also know that you are arrogant. When you arrived in Nanzhong, you didn't look down on Yong Kai and Meng Huo at all, let alone have any friendship with them. , without even socializing, how can they know your skills, and how can they listen to your orders?"
After saying this, Sun Quan sighed quietly and said: "Go back and think about this matter before you come back and talk to me. If you can't even figure this out, how can you sit on the position of Grand Governor?"
Lu Xun's fists hidden in his sleeves were clenched, and the veins on his temples swelled. He nodded heavily, cupped his hands and saluted, "Xun will live up to the trust of the Lord!"
After saying that, he slowly exited the inner hall study.
Looking at Lu Xun's back, Sun Quan sighed softly.
Cao Cao lived in the Central Plains, with a large population and elite soldiers. He could easily mobilize millions of troops to come, so Sun Quan had no choice but to accept his submission and show humility.
Who would be willing to kneel if they could stand?
And Liu Xuande?
Originally he was just a lost dog in Xinye, but now he is competing with Cao Mengde in Hanzhong, and he has the potential to dominate the world and restore the glory of the great ancestor.
But Sun Zhongmou was trapped in Jiangdong, unable to do anything he wanted to do.
The population is small, war horses are scarce, soldiers are in short supply, there are powerful enemies outside and constraints within the country.
Disaster!
Disaster!
It’s difficult!
"well!"
Sun Quan sighed heavily, but soon, this negative and complaining look disappeared from his eyes.
As a master, complaining about this is like complaining about a woman, so how can it be accomplished?
He got back on his feet.
If you can't get involved in Nanzhong's affairs, then...
He looked at the map of Jingzhou in front of him, his eyes flashed with murderous intent!
Just stay in Jingzhou and stir up trouble in the world!
