The alcohol brewed by later generations had a high alcohol content. Although Lu Su drank a lot, he couldn't stand up to the carnage among the officials in Jingnan. In the end, he was drunk and carried back to the tavern.
In the next few days, Liu Jing did not hold any more cocktail parties. As the New Year approached, it was a busy time for business, but no matter how busy he was every day, he would take some time to summon Lu Su to discuss current affairs and the world.
Lu Su was not only the most outstanding diplomat in the Three Kingdoms era, but also one of the most outstanding strategists. Although "Couch Strategy" is too rough and not rigorous enough compared to "Longzhong Dui", it is also a rare strategic plan in the Three Kingdoms era.
, directly referring to the emperor's career, Sun Quan compared it to Deng Yu's relationship with Guangwu, which can be seen from this.
Originally, Lu Su was very high-spirited and thought he knew the general trend of the world. However, after several conversations with Liu Jing, he deeply realized that there is heaven outside the world and there are people outside the world.
Lu Su had long heard that Liu Jingzhi was slightly transcendent and as clever as a god. However, he felt that Liu Jing was in the remote Jingnan and his views on the world must not be as good as his. Unexpectedly, the opposite was true. Liu Jing's views on the world were far ahead of his.
above.
Besides lamenting that Liu Jingshen was careless and born out of Tianxin, what else could Lu Su say?
On this day, Lu Su, who had been in Linxiang for eight days, formally bid farewell to Liu Jing.
When he learned that Lu Su was leaving, Liu Jing couldn't help but say something to persuade him: "Zijing, why bother leaving in a hurry? Didn't you send someone back to Jiangdong to report the news before? It will be Zhengdan in a few days, so it is better to wait until Zijing is over before leaving.
"
Lu Su declined politely and said: "Thank you, General, for your kind invitation to stay, but the prisoners are still waiting for news from me day and night in Jiangdong, and there are only three months left before the date agreed upon by both parties to send troops. The time is quite tight and there is no time to waste."
Liu Jing held Lu Su's hand tightly, unwilling to let go, and said: "Zijing has great ambitions, long-term thinking, and is talented in both civil and military affairs. He is as talented as Wang Zuo. Let me know, besides Zhang (Zhao) Zi in Jiangdong
Bu, in addition to Duke Jin of Zhou (Yu), there are also outstanding men and women like Zijing."
"Thank you for your honor, General." Lu Su thanked him solemnly.
Liu Jing was not only the overlord of Jingnan, but also the crown prince of Jingzhou scholars. If his words were spread back to Jiangdong, Lu Su's worth would surely double.
At that time, I am afraid that even Zhang Zhao will not dare to slander him any more. After all, Lu Su is the "talent of Wang Zuo" that Liu Jing personally praised. If he continues to target him, he will inevitably be suspected of being jealous of his talents.
Liu Jing sighed again: "I just wish I couldn't share the important things with Zijing."
Lu Su also sighed in his heart. Liu Jing was a noble man from the Han Dynasty. He was a noble man with great ambitions and ambitions for the world. He was both civilized and military, and had both political integrity and talent. Like Fu Shizu, he was an almost perfect hero in troubled times. However, he had already committed himself to Jiangdong, and Sun Quan was waiting for him.
He was very generous. Not only did he treat him well, but he also gave him a mansion and property, making him as rich as ever. When Sun Quan met him as a national scholar, he naturally wanted to repay him as a national scholar. Apart from this, he had no other thoughts.
Lu Su thanked him again, and then said: "Now the Han Dynasty is late, the wolves are in power, the captives and the generals all have the royal family in mind. Now we have formed an alliance, and we should work together in the future to kill the unjust and bring peace to the country."
Even though we are not under the general's command, what difference does it make?"
I am afraid that even Lu Su did not believe what he said. Liu Jing shook his head and said, "I hope it is as Zijing said." Then he took out the bamboo paper, studied the ink himself, and wrote a letter to Sun Quan.
Lu Su watched Liu Jing immersed himself in writing. There were many people in Jiangdong who were good at calligraphy. Among them, Er Zhang was the leader. Zhang Zhao was good at official script and Zhang Hong was good at seal script. However, Lu Su privately thought that neither of them was as good as Liu Jing. Liu Jing's calligraphy was square and square.
, graceful and elegant, as grand as a palace or temple, it is unforgettable at first sight.
What is equally unforgettable is the bamboo paper. Lu Su visited the official temple in recent days and naturally discovered that in Jingnan, bamboo paper had replaced bamboo slips and became the main writing material for official documents.
It is said that this kind of yellowish, thick and flexible paper was invented by Liu Jing. Bamboo is hard and it is incredible that Liu Jing can use it to make paper. Lu Su specially asked Liu Jing for some and planned to take them back to Jiangdong.
After Liu Jing wrote the letter, he handed it to Lu Su and held a banquet to say goodbye to Lu Su in the afternoon.
The next day, Liu Jing ignored the cold rain and insisted on going out of the city to see Lu Su off. Such courtesy made Lu Su deeply moved and thanked him repeatedly.
Before leaving, Liu Jing said: "I hope that I can meet Sun Tuolu in Hanmian soon, and then I can have a drink with Zi Jing."
Lu Su solemnly promised, and then said goodbye to Zhuge Liang, Xu Shu and others one by one.
During this trip to Changsha, Lu Su got to know a lot of talented people in Jingnan. Among them, he had the best relationship with Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu, followed by Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan was Liu Jing's chief steward and would give him gifts on behalf of the latter.
Exit.
Lu Su and Jiang Wan boarded the large passenger boat provided by Jingnan side by side, and sailed to the north under the watch of Liu Jing, Zhuge Liang and others.
A few days later, Lu Su separated from Jiang Wan at the junction of Changsha and Yuzhang counties, and embarked on the road back to Jiangdong alone.
Compared to the time when he came, the return journey was smoother. It took Lu Su only one month to return to Wu County. It was already the end of the first month of the seventh year of Jian'an (AD 202), and the period of the Western Expedition against Liu Biao was approaching.
, the water infantry armies distributed throughout Jiangdong are continuously gathering towards the Dan disciples in the north of Wu County.
Seeing that the troops were about to be dispatched, Lu Su immediately accelerated his pace, landed at Dantu, traveled all the way, and quickly returned to Wu County to meet Sun Quan.
When Sun Quan saw Lu Su returning, he couldn't wait to grab the latter and ask.
Lu Su will tell you what he saw and heard in Changsha, everything in detail. Liu Jing is the most important person. Lu Su thinks highly of Liu Jing, calling him a hero and the ancestor of the world. Lu Su
Su's original intention was to attract Sun Quan's attention, but his move made Sun Quan unhappy. He asked, "Is Zijing trying to imitate Ma Yuan and persuade me to surrender to Liu Jing?"
At that time, Kaixiao sent Ma Yuan to write to Luoyang. After Ma Yuan saw the ancestor Guangwu, he was deeply impressed by him. After returning to Liangzhou, he praised Guangwu for his resemblance to the ancestor, his virtuous demeanor and the appearance of an emperor, and urged Weixiao to send him to Luoyang.
The son enters the essence.
Lu Su naturally knew this allusion, and knew that he praised Liu Jing too highly, which must have misunderstood Sun Quan. He hurriedly said: "Su is an ordinary talent, but he was treated differently by the general, entrusted to his confidant, and regarded as the mastermind.
How dare you not do your best to help and repay the favor? The reason why you have so many good words for Liu Anyuan is because Liu Anyuan is indeed a hero of the world, far superior to Liu Biao and Liu Zhang. He is the biggest obstacle to the general's unification of the south, and the general must guard against it.
"
"I misunderstood Zijing." Sun Quan hurriedly stepped forward and took Lu Su's hand, saying sincerely: "Zijing is my Deng Yu. If Zijing abandons me, no one will give me advice and establish a great cause.
