Seeing how nervous Ling Cao and Zhou Tai were, Lu Su smiled and said, "Yes, it would be the easiest to go alone. Since Zhuge Liang invited the Governor to the banquet, I am now acting as the Governor temporarily."
, it should be left to me."
"Grand Governor, Zhuge Liang will definitely not have any good intentions. It is better for his subordinates to go with the Grand Governor, taking with him thousands of soldiers and eight hundred soldiers. In addition, all the naval forces will be dispatched to deal with emergencies. Or, simply don't go.
Already." Zhou Tai said.
Lu Su waved his hands and said with a smile: "You are all too worried, I can't do it alone. Besides, the Governor is about to return, how can there be no one to greet him? Tomorrow I only need a light boat to take me across the river.
But, you all stay on the south bank to prepare for emergencies."
"But the Grand Governor..."
Zhou Tai was always worried. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Lu Su. He only heard Lu Su say: "Okay, I have made up my mind. You don't need to say more. Just stay here and stay here. You all can leave.
"
Zhou Tai and Ling Cao had no choice but to retreat, but they still felt unwilling to do so.
Early the next morning, Lu Su, wearing a gray toga and a turban on his head, arrived at the Xunyang River and met Zhou Tai and Ling Cao with their troops lined up on the bank. There were also warships of the Wu navy at the center of the Xunyang River.
He paused and looked from a distance, as if he was about to go into battle.
When Zhou Tai and Ling Cao saw Lu Su's arrival, they stepped forward to pay homage. After the ceremony, Zhou Tai said: "Grand Governor, after much thought, I decided to go with the Grand Governor. Otherwise, I wouldn't be at ease."
Governor Zhou told us to protect him when he left. If Governor Zhou goes alone, if something goes wrong, Governor Zhou will definitely cause trouble for us when he comes back, so..."
"You are only afraid that Governor Zhou will cause trouble for you, but you are not afraid that I will cause trouble for you? What did the Governor say when he left, asking you to obey me completely? I made it very clear yesterday, don't you know anything about it?
Don't you understand? Immediately remove all the ships on the river and give me only a canoe and a boatman. You should all return to your respective camps and garrison the naval camps. You must take strict precautions as usual." Lu Su suddenly became angry.
road.
This was the first time that Zhou Tai and Ling Cao saw Lu Su angry, because Lu Su was known as a good person and a kindhearted person. But when Lu Su got angry today, the faces of Zhou Tai and Ling Cao
They all feel hot.
When Lu Su saw Zhou Tai and Ling Cao still standing there and refused to leave, he said, "Why are you still standing there? Do you dare to disobey military orders?"
Zhou Tai and Ling Cao hurriedly shouted at the same time: "I don't dare, I will remove all the ships and send the governor across the river."
Later, Zhou Tai and Ling Cao followed Lu Su's instructions and gave Lu Su only a small boat and a boatman, and then they sent Lu Su to Jiangbei with the oar.
The original name of the water is Xun, which lies to the north of the Yangtze River and flows south before entering the Yangtze River. The Qin Dynasty established Jiujiang County, with its administrative seat in Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province). Its jurisdiction covers approximately present-day Anhui, south of the Huaihe River in Henan, east of Huanggang in Hubei, and all of Jiangxi
Province, with "Jiujiang" in its territory
It got its name, but it has nothing to do with today's Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. In the 16th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (164 BC), Lujiang State was divided into Huainan and led to twelve counties. Xunyang was one of them. The county was governed around today's Caishan Mountain.
The nearby ancient city village.
Therefore, Xunyang belongs to Lujiang County of Wu State, but due to its important geographical location, it is also the station of Wu State Navy. There are Chaisang in the south and Xunyang in the north. There are two naval camps, sandwiched between the Yangtze River and the Yangtze River.
It was built precisely to prevent the Huaxia navy from using the Yangtze River to attack the key points of the Wu state. Because the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were all controlled by the Huaxia Kingdom.
Lu Su sailed away from the south bank of Xunyang and headed directly towards the north of the river. He stood on the bow of the ship with his hands behind his back, letting the breeze blow on his face. Seeing the rippling blue waves and the vast mist in the center of the river, he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, secretly
He thought: "If a war really breaks out between Huaxia and Wu, how long can Wu's current army withstand the Huaxia army?"
After driving north on the river for a while, Lu Su vaguely saw a huge warship appearing in front of his eyes. That kind of warship was twice as big as the largest building ship in Wu State, and the design of the ship was also different.
With unique ingenuity, two large ships were forcibly nailed together to form a larger ship, with the Chinese military flag hanging on it.
This super-large warship of the Huaxia Kingdom rode the wind and broke through the waves. The water flow passed under the connection between the decks of the two warships, and the cavalry were going back and forth on the deck, as if they were walking on flat ground. In addition, the water on both sides of the warship was
The double row of rows of oars greatly accelerated the speed of the warship.
"What a wonderful workmanship. They say that ships from the south and horses from the north are so beautiful. But why is the shipbuilding technology in the north so much higher than that in the south? Such warships are unique in terms of carrying capacity and stability.
Even if there is strong wind and lang
, it’s not shaking too much, it’s simply..." Lu Su saw the large warship approaching quickly, gradually approaching his eyes, allowing him to see the entire body of the warship clearly, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart.
, and at the same time, his face also looked more melancholy.
The Chinese warship then slowly slowed down, and when it was about to approach Lu Su, it almost stopped, for fear of sinking Lu Su's boat.
As soon as the warship came to a stop, a man was seen pouring out of the bow. He clasped his fists and shouted towards the opposite boat: "I am Huo Jun, the general of the Hengjiang River of the Huaxia Kingdom. I came here on patrol and saw the flag of the Wu Kingdom hanging on your boat. May I ask?
Sir, do you want to enter the river territory of our country of China?"
Lu Su saw that Huo Jun was extremely majestic, so he politely clasped his fists and responded: "I am Lu Su, the commander-in-chief of the Wu Kingdom. I have been invited by Zhuge Kongming, the prefect of Jiangxia, to attend the banquet. General, please inform me."
"Lu Su? Isn't the chief governor of the Wu Kingdom Zhou Yu? How come he was replaced by sir?" Huo Jun felt suspicious after hearing this.
"Oh, it's like this. The Governor of Zhou is ill, so I will temporarily take over the post of Governor. General Huo, please tell me that Lu Zijing has come to attend the banquet." Lu Su explained hurriedly.
Huo Jun said: "Since you are a guest invited by the magistrate, I should personally send you to the governor. However, I am on duty and have to patrol the river, so I can only send someone to deliver you to the magistrate. From the state capital
The matter has never had anything to do with our military department, but foreign ships need a pass from the military department to enter the rivers of China. If the governor has a pass, I will let him and the boat go. I wonder if the governor has a pass?
"
"I came in a hurry and never applied to your country's military department." Lu Su had some understanding of the political system of the Huaxia Kingdom. During peacetime, the military and political affairs were separated. During wartime, the military and political affairs were closely integrated to jointly defend against the enemy.
banquet, so I did not apply for a pass from the Chinese military headquarters.
"In this case, we have to ask the governor to transfer to our ship." As soon as Huo Jun finished speaking, he had people put down the ship and went to meet Lu Su.
After Lu Su changed boats, Huo Jun sent people to the north bank of Jiangbei, and then he was escorted all the way to the Yamen of Qichun County where the prefect was located.
The yamen of the Jiangxia prefecture was originally located in Xiling City, but after Zhuge Liang took office, he thought that Xiling City was too far from the battle line, so it was moved to Qichun County.
Outside the county seat of Qichun County, Zhuge Liang, who received the report, personally led the officials from Jiangxia Mansion to greet him and arranged a banquet. However, when he saw that the visitor was not Zhou Yu but Lu Su, he suddenly felt a sense of loss. Because of the report
Everyone only said that the Governor of Wu State had come to the banquet, but no one mentioned who it was, so Zhuge Liang didn't know that it was not Zhou Yu until he saw Lu Su.
However, Zhuge Liang still greeted Lu Su with a smile after all. The first thing he said when he saw Lu Su was: "General Chai Qi arrived. Liang Yu was far away to greet him, but the governor was ill and could not come, so he asked Lu Chai to come."
Come instead?"
Lu Su nodded first, then shook his head, and then said slowly: "The Governor of Zhou is indeed ill, but he didn't know it because Su had been temporarily acting as the Governor for more than half a month, so he received the call from Zhuge
After receiving the letter from the Lord, I immediately came to attend the appointment. I hope Lord Zhuge will not take offense..."
"No, no, no, since Lu Cheqi has been appointed as the temporary governor, Liang will naturally not neglect it. I have already prepared a small amount of wine. Let's ask the government office to talk about it." Zhuge Liang made a gesture of invitation.
Lu Su was invited in.
Taking advantage of this moment, Huo Du, the rebellious general beside Zhuge Liang, came to ask questions and asked: "Master magistrate, it's not Zhou Yu who is here. Is everything going as usual?"
"Business as usual! Lu Zijing is also an important talent in Wu State. Everything will proceed as planned." Zhuge Liang whispered.
Huo Du nodded, turned around and left.
Lu Su entered the city surrounded by government officials, but his eyes scanned the entire environment, but he secretly thought in his heart: "It seems that today's banquet is almost the same as the Hongmen Banquet. I will block this disaster for Gong Jin. I hope
Gong Jin can come back as soon as possible so as not to give Huaxia an opportunity."
After entering the government office, Zhuge Liang entertained Lu Su warmly. After drinking for three rounds, Lu Su glanced at the guests and asked, "Master Zhuge, Lu is very grateful for this banquet, but Lu has been thinking about it.
, Lord Zhuge will not entertain me for no reason, right? So, Lord Zhuge, please clear up the doubts in my heart."
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing, because I originally wanted to entertain the Governor of Zhou. But since the Governor of Lu is here, I can't turn away the Governor of Lu. If the Governor of Lu is here,
If the governor can make the decision on behalf of the governor of Zhou, maybe we can sit down and talk in detail."
"The Governor of Zhou is ill and has entrusted me with all military and political affairs. Although I am only temporarily acting as the Governor, I can still make some decisions. I just don't know what Lord Zhuge wants to talk about?"
