But... doubts are doubts, and Lu Su never neglects etiquette.
When Yi Xiaotian greeted him, he naturally responded quickly.
Finally, Lu Su also came to the table, nodded slightly, picked up a cherry and put it into his mouth.
The cold, sour and sweet taste stimulated Lu Su's taste buds and reached directly into Lu Su's mind.
Lu Su also trembled.
Seeing this scene, Yi Xiaotian smiled, finally straightened up and sat down, and cast a friendly look at Lu Su:
"Zijing...if you have anything you want to ask, please ask it quickly. I see you are holding it back."
"Ah...this...no..."
As a result, Yi Xiaotian's words suddenly made Lu Su tense up. Only then did Lu Su know that his intentions had been seen through by Yi Xiaotian.
"If you want to ask anything, ask it now. You may not have the time later."
Yi Xiaotian shrugged and looked at Lu Lingqi beside him.
Lu Lingqi understood this and left the hut quietly, leaving only Yi Xiaotian and Lu Su inside.
Lu Su took a deep breath and knew that everything was in Yi Xiaotian's plan, so he was not so nervous:
"Sir...what arrangements have you made in the past two days?"
"It's already half of the day today and I haven't seen Lu Xun and Lu Meng. What are they doing?"
Lu Su's question is very simple, but it goes straight to the core.
But Yi Xiaotian was not in a hurry to reveal the secret, or... some things cannot be explained by just talking about them.
There is one thing that Yi Xiaotian can directly answer Lu Su:
"When I was away from you the past two days, I had already arranged all the things."
"The reason why you see me staying here doing nothing is just because there is nothing for me to do now."
"But... in order to ensure that the secret cannot be leaked, I will at least have to wait until the news of success comes back before I can explain it to you. Do you have this patience... Zijing?"
After Yi Xiaotian said this, Lu Su no longer had the need to ask further questions.
Yes, believe it or not, just let the facts speak for themselves in the end.
What are you worried about?
Is it because in this situation, I can't get as much dependence as Zhou Yu, and I can't find a reason to feel at ease?
All in all, Yi Xiaotian's words silenced Lu Su.
In the end, Lu Su nodded and accepted.
"By the way...my lord, he wants to know something. I wonder if sir, can you answer it?"
"Huh? Let's talk about it."
Before leaving, Lu Su came back to his senses and looked at Yi Xiaotian.
When Yi Xiaotian heard Lu Su's question, he raised his head slightly to express welcome.
"What will Cao Cao do in the end? Mr. Yi... do you know?"
What will Cao Cao do in the end... This question may seem general, but in fact, if asked here, it will only represent a specific concept.
Are you willing to be the Duke of Zhou? Or should you imitate Gaozu...
Be king...or be emperor...
"..."
Yi Xiaotian fell into rare silence.
In fact, it was quite surprising that Lu Su asked this question.
Such a problem has long become a grudge in the hearts of the group of people surrounding Yi Xiaotian.
The reason why they surround Yi Xiaotian is because they trust Yi Xiaotian.
But apart from this, it is probably because of the existence of Yi Xiaotian that it provides many people with a choice between resisting Cao Cao and actually submitting to Cao Cao, right?
Yi Xiaotian knew this very well.
Therefore, he has never had an accurate answer to this question.
Appearance - this point is indispensable, Yi Xiaotian has never expressed resistance on this point.
But in his view, the position of prime minister is indeed the highest point one can reach as a prince in this era.
And once this limit is exceeded, what follows is by no means a simple choice of unity or stalemate.
A person who calls himself public cannot be public forever. In this era, this is the most direct answer.
Many people may think that even if Cao Cao becomes what people call the King of Wei a few years later, as long as he does not covet the throne of Han Emperor, he can still do what Zhou Gong Tufu did.
But in fact - this boundary is not as far away as people imagine. In fact, this boundary is only between the Prime Minister and Wei Gong.
Crossing this boundary and wanting to stop again... Yi Xiaotian has only one solution in his mind, and that is——
"I am not sure."
Yi Xiaotian broke away from the depths of consciousness, smiled at Lu Su, and then gave a vague answer.
"Ah, I'm sorry... I'm sorry. It seems I've asked something that makes the gentleman feel embarrassed."
Lu Su shook his head and planned to leave.
But he didn't go too far when Yi Xiaotian's words seemed to come from behind:
"I don't know what he thinks, but in the end... Youjian Villa will also face such a choice, right?"
"Is there a villa? I see, there has been a lot of trouble today."
Hearing Yi Xiaotian talking about Youjian Villa, Lu Su also understood something - Yi Xiaotian knew that the ultimate goals of Youjian Villa and Cao Cao might be in conflict.
As for what he would choose, Lu Su felt that he might not be able to wait for that day, so he smiled and said nothing more?
And this question...Whether it was Sun Quan who wanted to know the answer, or he...the result is also unknown.
——
Apart from these interludes, everything is actually as Yi Xiaotian said.
He planned everything in two days.
But now Lu Xun and others are doing their best for Yi Xiaotian's plan.
They knew that if they could not go all out at this time, it would be too late by the time Liu Bei broke through their last line of defense.
Everyone knew that this was their last chance, so in comparison, Pang Tong seemed a little unprepared, didn't he?
The day after Pang Tong parted ways with his army, a sudden small accident seemed to catch Pang Tong a little unexpectedly.
——
The turning point occurred near a small town called Le'an.
Because Poyang is crisscrossed by waterways and, as Zhao Yun said, has a lot of mountains and forests, the county towns are mostly built in scattered locations.
Le'an is located in the northeast corner of Poyang County, adjacent to Xindu County.
As the first city encountered in Poyang when returning from Xindu, Pang Tong naturally wanted his army to take advantage of the unpreparedness of the city's defenders and quickly break through the city.
Things went as smoothly as Pang Tong expected. The defenders of the small town of Le'an were no more than a thousand, and without much warning, Wei Yan led his team to capture the city in less than half a day.
There were not even many casualties among the army.
This is naturally exciting for everyone.
But...the problem is that after the city was broken - Pang Tong led his army into the city, only to find that the city was almost like locusts passing through. It was already in ruins and seemed to have been swept away.
And...the problem doesn't end there.
The generals who defended the city that Pang Tong had witnessed quickly disappeared without a trace after the initial contact battle.
Although they captured many defenders, fully half of the defenders quickly disappeared after the battle began.
How could Pang Tong not care about such a weird thing?
