Chapter 344: The Death of Lu Su
"Zi Jing!" After Chaisang, after seeing Fa Zheng away, Sun Quan looked at Lu Su with some concern and frowned: "Is it really agreed to them?"
Lu Su looked a little tired, but the light in his eyes was brighter than ever. He stretched out his hand and a guard supported Lu Su to the huge map in the hall, pointed at the map, and looked carefully.
Sun Quan stood up and came to Lu Su. Looking at the huge map, the entire Han terrain was perfectly outlined. Lu Su pointed to the map and said, "Lord, although the terrain between the two Huai Rivers is flat, there are still waterways. If our army can capture Hefei, then Runan, Xuzhou and even Yanzhou will be exposed under the attack range of our army!"
Sun Quan nodded. He naturally knew the benefits of Hefei, but it was not easy to conquer Hefei.
"Although Liu Bei's army is strong, Su and Ziming, Xingba and others have discussed that the reason why Liu Bei's army has been able to win repeatedly over the years is that they can still fight and win against elite troops like Cao's army. Although Liu Bei's army gained power, the benefits of Liu Bei's army's army's armor cannot be ignored. I previously asked Fa Zheng to provide siege ships, siege hammers, cloud ladders, wells, catapults and other powerful weapons to prepare for this attack on Hefei. In addition, Liu Bei's army's broken army crossbows also require 30. As long as they can capture Hefei, these 30 broken army crossbows will cooperate with our soldiers to defend Hefei!"
Lu Su said a long breath, and he was a little breathless. He held the guards and gasped for a while before saying: "In addition, the lord of the Pojun crossbow can be ordered to imitate it. Our army cannot always rely on Liu Bei. Although it is an ally, it will definitely be an enemy in the future. Su heard that Cao Cao is now recruiting famous generals from all over the world and establishing a God Workshop to defeat Liu Bei's army. The lord should follow it, otherwise the gap will be widened by the two countries over the years! Now that we have restored the alliance with Liu Bei, we can send people to Liu Bei to learn it to strengthen myself!"
Sun Quan nodded when he heard this. In fact, even if Lu Su didn't say it, he could feel that the detailed work of Cao Wei had sent back the message. Cao Cao now respects craftsmen very much, especially those capable craftsmen, even those literati and officials, must be respected.
Not to mention Liu Bei's office, after tasting Liu Yi's sweetness, Liu Bei attached great importance to craftsmen over the years, whether in Jingzhou or in Shu. Now, Jiangdong is the only one who has not yet fully valued craftsmen due to various reasons.
But is the result...
After several frictions with Wen Pin, they were defeated by the opponent with siege ships. The Jingzhou Navy was originally inferior to Jiangdong, but now, relying solely on these powerful ships, it is difficult for Jiangdong to get close. In the long run, who knows what will happen in the future?
Even if Lu Su didn't say that, under the pressure of the Cao and Liu families, Sun Quan had to pay attention to the craftsman.
"Fa Zheng has agreed, which means Liu Bei's agreement. With Liu Bei's army's powerful weapons to help him, it is not difficult to defeat Hefei!" Lu Su was very confident about deciding to attack Hefei this time. As long as Liu Bei is willing to show these sincerity, what if he supports him as king?
As for what he promised Cao Cao, Lu Su did not care about it. In the troubled times, countries do not believe in their promises. If there is a chance in the future, the two families will still unite, but this time it will not be!
"The Three Kingdoms have been established, Jingzhou cannot be achieved in the short term. King Wu must remember... remember..." Looking at the map in front of him, Lu Su clenched his fists: "It's a pity... I can't see the day when King Wu dominated the world..."
"Zi Jing?" Sun Quan was looking at the map. Hearing the words, he frowned and looked at Lu Su, but saw Lu Su standing in place in a daze, looking at the map, but his eyes were no longer focal. Sun Quan was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to support Lu Su: "Zi Jing wake up! Zi Jing wake up! Hurry up, pass the doctor!"
Seeing that Lu Su did not respond, he took his breath again, but he was no longer inhaled. Sun Quan was shocked and said hoarsely: "Zi Jing!"
In June of the 22nd year of Jian'an, after Lu Su facilitated the reunion of the Sun and Liu families, he had a serious illness and failed to see his plan implemented. He passed away all year round... forty-seven years old!
After confirming that Lu Su's death, Sun Quan was deeply saddened and fainted several times.
"Is Lu Su dead?" Xiangyang, just reunited, was suffocating after Liu Bei and Guan Yu, who were reminiscing about the past, couldn't help but suffocate.
"Yes." Liu Yi nodded, sighed, and knelt down with Pang Tong: "As soon as Lu Su dies, the successor governor may not know whether he can continue Lu Su's will and continue to join forces with Liu to fight against Cao."
After all, the emperor and the minister were the most important position in Jiangdong. The governor's attitude towards Liu Bei's army often determines the future direction of the relationship between the two families.
Having said that, was the position of the Jiangdong governor, someone cursed? It seems that every governor doesn’t live long.
After Guan Yu was silent for a moment, he stood up and bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Brother, Yu wants to... go and worship Zijing!"
Liu Bei was about to nod, but Pang Tong shook his head and said, "It's probably inappropriate to go at this time. If General Guan goes to Jiangdong, Cao Cao may not come."
Liu Bei and Guan Yu were stunned when he heard this, and then nodded with regret. Indeed, the two families have basically reached an agreement, and the troops in Hanzhong have begun to secretly mobilize Shangyong. This design is to ask Cao Cao to fall into the trap. If Guan Yu, the supreme commander of Jingzhou, went to Jiangdong at this time and came back safely, Cao Cao would be suspicious and would be unfavorable to the overall situation.
When Guan Yu heard this, he felt an unspeakable depression in his heart, but he could not vent it. The higher he stood, the more he couldn't help himself. Even if his friend died, would it become a luxury to go and think about him?
"Extremely." Liu Yi sighed when he saw this: "It is not only because he was named a king, but also because Sun Quan was completely on the side of his lord in this matter. In this way, I set up a temple for Mr. Zijing in Xiangyang to pay tribute to Mr. Zijing?"
"So, Lao Boyuan." Guan Yu nodded, stood up silently, and bowed to Liu Bei, "Brother, I..."
"You and my brothers have been together for many years. How can I not know what Yun Chang thinks? Let's go and rest." Liu Bei sighed. Lu Su is a person that is difficult to hate, especially as a friend. Liu Bei is also very sad about Lu Su's death. Liu Bei knew the nature of his brothers best. However, Guan Yu may have many shortcomings, but Guan Yu is absolutely competent to his friends.
Seeing Guan Yu leave, Liu Yi glanced at Pang Tong with a plain face: "Do you mean it?"
"What?" Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi for some reason, what's up with him?
"I heard that when you were in Jiangdong, Mr. Zijing treated you well." Liu Yi said in confusion. The same thing is too different for the two of you, right?
"Lu Zijing is indeed a gentleman, but the reason why he wins over me is to win over talents for Jiangdong is not just for personal friendship." Pang Tong took a sip of wine and said lightly: "There are too many utilitarian intentions in this. Although he feels emotion, Shu Tong cannot be like General Guan."
Simply put, Lu Su was not good to him at the beginning because he was attracted by Pang Tong, but just thought Pang Tong could serve Jiangdong, so he was kind to him. This is an investment and does not involve personal feelings. It just feels a bit ruthless when he said this! Sure enough, the smarter the person, the colder heals.
Liu Yi shook his head speechlessly. Even if it is this, can you at least act it?
"Lord, I think that now that Lu Su is dead, the contact with Jiangdong needs to be maintained. It is necessary to send someone to mourn. Tong thought that Xiaozhi could be asked to go a few more times and contact him." Pang Tong looked at Liu Yi for no reason, shook his head, and bowed to Liu Bei.
"Yes." Liu Bei nodded, feeling a little depressed: "Since that's the case, I'll have to worry about Xiaozhi running a few more times these days."
Overall, the death of Lu Su has a little more shadow for the Sun-Liu Alliance. After all, Lu Su has always been a key figure in maintaining the Sun-Liu Alliance. Now that Lu Su dies, it is really hard to say whether the Sun-Liu Alliance can continue to maintain the alliance as it is now.
On the day of Lu Su's burial, Liu Bei sent Fa Zheng to mourn. At the same time, Cao Cao also ordered people to give him a gift. Among them, there were also two families who wanted to win over Jiangdong to get on their own warships. However, as the governor of Jiangdong, he could do what he could do after his death. Today, the three most powerful people in power mourn at the same time is also a confirmation of another situation. Even when Zhou Yu died, there was no such situation.
What if it is a pity? What can you do if you die after all, what can you do if you have more glory?
Ten days later, on the day Lu Su was buried, Liu Yi also set up a temple for Lu Su to worship Liu Bei, Guan Yu and others.
Looking at the temple in front of him, Liu Yi's expression was a little strange.
Lusu Temple: Protect the country and safe people +38, people's hearts are kind +39, humble and courteous +38, loyal and righteous hometown +37
As a minister of Jiangdong, Liu Bei's territory was protected after his death... and Sun Quan would probably have to thank him after he knew it. This feeling was indescribable.
Looking at the lifelike statue of Lu Su in the temple, Liu Yi sighed and bowed to the statue of Lu Su: If there is really an underworld in this world, brother Zijing should not blame him if he knows that, I am also out of good intentions.
Or... build a temple for Zhou Yu?
"Boyuan, what do you think?" Pang Tong pushed Liu Yi, who was stunned and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, I just lament that these heroes died young, how unfair is God?" Liu Yi shook his head and expressed his feelings. This is a glorious era, with stars like clouds and counselors like rain. Unfortunately, these talents are basically fighting in the internal struggle all their lives. If the world's heroes can work together, what will happen to this great man?
Liu Yi really doesn't know about this.
"Boyuan!" Guan Yu worshiped Lu Su, came to Liu Yi and bowed deeply.
It is for friends and for yourself.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be polite." Liu Yi shook his head with a strange expression. Speaking of which, this is a good thing. Once Xiangyang City is built, the temple will also contribute.
