Li Yu did not go to Jingzhou, but went directly to Yizhou.
Someone outside the city came to greet Li Yu. After Li Yu landed, Deng Zhi stepped forward and said, "Taoist Master, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."
Li Yu stretched out his hand and said, "Okay."
"please!"
The two rode horses and arrived at the imperial city. Liu Bei was sitting at the top of the room, with Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu on the left and right.
The standing civil servant was tall and good-looking, wearing a black official uniform and without a hat on his head, looking a bit casual. Li Yu had some impression of him, as if he was Fazheng.
When they saw Li Yu coming in, they had different expressions, while Liu Bei stood up directly.
"Tao Dao has come a long way and worked hard for our country of Shu. Thank you for your hard work."
Li Yu smiled and shook his head, waving his hands and saying, "Don't worry, I won't just sit back and watch this happen. I will definitely give you an explanation."
The Shu Kingdom obtained a large area of land in the west, but it was naturally incomparable with Jingxiang.
Everyone knows the importance of Jingxiang. Once it is obtained, it can be advanced, attacked, retreated or defended. It is a battleground for military strategists.
Many people present were dissatisfied, but they all knew that this matter had nothing to do with Li Yu.
Fazheng greeted Li Yu politely, and Li Yu was surprised to find that he smelled of elixir.
In other words, Liu Bei gave him an elixir of life.
It seems that Fa Zheng is very valued in the Shu Kingdom, because there are so many good ministers and powerful generals in the Shu Kingdom, and Li Yu feels that they are not enough.
Zhuge Liang didn't even ask Li Yu what he planned to do. He said with a smile: "This matter will trouble the Taoist priest. We really don't want to provoke war in the Six Dynasties, but as you can see, if this matter is ignored, the people of Shu will be uneasy.
"
Li Yu could hear the importance of this. The Shu Kingdom did not mind fighting a war, but for the sake of the overall situation, they hoped that Li Yu could solve this problem.
If this had happened a few years ago, I am afraid that the war would have started long ago. In order to show their sincerity to each other, the two countries of Shu and Wei withdrew Guan Yu from Jingxiang and Zhang He from Guanzhong. Unexpectedly, Soochow came to visit.
Li Yu sighed, Soochow was really a little selfish. The war was about to happen, so how could they take such risks?
This will be a fatal blow to the mutual trust between countries.
If heaven and man really went to war, who would trust their back to their allies?
Even if Shu captured Jingxiang, it would not be able to repair this rift, so Li Yu was prepared to let Soochow spit it out.
Liu Bei stood up, took Li Yu's hand, and said, "We don't want to start a fight."
Li Yu nodded and said, "I know, your Majesty, don't worry."
After finishing speaking, he walked out. The monarchs and ministers of Shu behind him looked at Li Yu's back with different expressions.
Guan Yu's subordinates and family were all in Jingzhou. He was very angry at this time. In fact, Soochow's strength was not weak. If he hadn't been transferred back by Liu Bei this time, it would have been even worse.
No matter how powerful your force is, you will eventually run out of strength in the face of numerous military sieges.
Lu Bu could even die in battle back then.
When Liu Bei thought about it, he was terrified. Fortunately, he transferred Guan Yu back.
After Li Yu's figure disappeared, Fazheng said: "What do you think a serious Taoist priest would do?"
"Who knows!" Guan Yu said coldly.
He advocated a war, otherwise he would have to worry about these grandsons causing trouble behind his back if he really fought with Heaven in the future.
This situation is definitely taboo for military strategists.
At this time, someone came in from outside, clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Soochow sent Lu Su to send Mi Fang, a doctor, saying that he wanted to ease relations with Shu."
Liu Bei glanced at the ministers, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Get out and behead him!"
"How to reply to Ambassador Wu?"
Liu Bei sat back on the throne and said, "No need to say anything."
The relationship between Lu Su and the officials of the Shu Kingdom was considered good, and Liu Bei did not give him face this time, because this was no longer a worldly thing.
Lu Su, who was waiting anxiously in the palace, finally heard the guards who came with the order, but only heard the latter say: "Your Majesty has an order to behead the traitors."
After saying this, the guards left, leaving only Lu Su and a few followers from the state of Wu.
One of them looked at Lu Su, with a hint of anger on his face.
"Marquis Duting is my important minister of Soochow, but they are so arrogant that they don't even see them. Why should I, Soochow, be afraid of a battle?"
Lu Su sighed. He always felt that the gains outweighed the losses, but the people inside Soochow were really eager to get Jing Xiang.
---
Outside Jianye City, there are vast river waves.
The two sides of the strait are surrounded by mountains, which are lush and majestic, and the shape is as beautiful as the sky.
A Taoist priest stood alone in the air facing the wind on the river.
Li Yu stretched out his hand and a Tai Chi diagram appeared, attracting countless soldiers and civilians on the river to watch.
Soon someone reported it, and soon a warship would arrive.
The "Wu" and "Zhou" flags were hoisted on the warship. Anyone familiar with it knew that this was Zhou Yu's personal arrival.
The warship reached the middle of the water and found it difficult to move forward any further. The boatman who rowed the boat exhausted all his strength and still found it difficult to move forward.
Zhou Yu stood on the bow of the ship and looked towards the horizon, only to see that familiar figure casting a spell.
He sneered, Soochow was one of the Six Dynasties, how could it be afraid of a monk?
Even if the Great Luo Jinxian from Heaven comes down, he would not dare to attack Soochow alone, otherwise he will never come back.
"Serious Taoist Master, since you are here, why don't you come down and have a cup of tea?"
Li Yu ignored him and continued to cast spells. At this time, Li Yu's face was as dark as water and his eyes were cold, which was completely opposite to his usual temperament.
Zhou Yu also knew that the situation was serious this time, but both he and Sun Quan felt that it was worth taking the risk.
Because their positions are different from Li Yu's.
As long as Li Yu wins this battle between heaven and man, it will be none of his business whoever rules the Central Plains.
But for Soochow, they obviously have more to consider.
After the Battle of Heaven and Man, the forces were reshuffled, and they had to consider how much benefit Soochow could gain from winning.
Because Soochow's national power is originally weak, if this contrast between strengths and weaknesses is intensified in this war, Soochow will most likely be destroyed after the war.
Perhaps, now is the only chance.
It was precisely because of this idea that Soochow acquiesced to Lu Meng's risky behavior of crossing the river in white.
"What is he doing!" Zhou Yu asked through gritted teeth.
After Li Yu arrived, without saying a word, he began to cast spells outside the capital of Soochow. For the people of Wu, this scene was too scary.
No one knew what he was going to do, and many people even started to run away.
However, Zhou Yu was very calm. He stopped his generals who were about to take action and whispered: "This man has never hurt a single civilian since he came out of the mountain."
Soon, about ten spiritual powers flew out from Jianye City.
One of them actually flew out from Zhou Yu's body at the bow of the ship.
Zhou Yu felt light all over, and suddenly felt lost, as if he had lost something, but he couldn't describe it.
Finally, ten balls of light were formed in the sky.
Li Yu finished his work and said in a solemn voice: "Soochow has betrayed its trust, and I, the upright Taoist Li Yu, will take back the elixir today!"
