Chapter 574: A clever confusion of Sima

This is the real ambition. Compared with this, what is my previous vision of the world?

Lu Su returned to the inn in a daze. Although he saw the "Ju" courtyard in the inn, the people were heard and the people were shuttled. Lu Su was not interested in those things. He went straight to his "Mei" courtyard, preparing to pack up his luggage and return to Shuzhong.

However, Lu Su had just walked into the courtyard and had not had time to enter the house and sat down, and ordered Zhao Xin, who came with Lu Su, ran to Lu Su close in a hurry, and said in a panic, "General Lu, something big is wrong."

Lu Su was already a little dazed. Seeing Zhao Xin's appearance, he couldn't help but scold him, "What's going on? What's wrong with it!"

When Zhao Xin heard Lu Su's scolding, he quickly calmed down his mind, but he couldn't help but say in panic: "General Lu, there is really something big. Cao Cao has also sent someone to Youzhou. We'll be done this time."

At this time, Lu Su had already walked into the yard and entered the house. He sat down and said, "I know this. What's there to panic."

"Ah? You know everything, General." Zhao Xin looked at Lu Su in surprise. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The general is calm in the face of danger. It seems that he has made a mistake. Then you say, Cao Cao will send someone to join Youzhou and prepare to attack us together. How should we deal with it? I was so anxious before."

"What did you say?" Lu Su stood up and asked with a bang.

Zhao Xin was startled and said inexplicably: "The general is calm in the face of danger, and he has a good idea."

"Nonsense! Who asked you this? Here comes!" Lu Su shouted angrily.

"Ah? Yes. What's below?" Zhao Xin was shouted like this, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Lu Su was even more angry and cursed in secret: It's really useless.

To be honest, Lu Su did not take Cao Cao's envoy seriously before. Although Lu Su had already learned from Xun Yu that some Sima had sent to Youzhou by Cao Cao. And Lu Su was already suspicious at that time. However, Lu Su had a pleasant conversation with Xun Yu and was shocked by Youzhou's ambitions. The most important thing was that Lu Su had even signed a memorandum of understanding, so naturally he did not think that the envoy sent by Cao Cao would have any bad influence on Sun Quan.

But now what Zhao Xin said completely broke Lu Su's speculation. Moreover, Lu Su's recent thinking has been a little confused by Liu Ming, Xun Yu and the others. Lu Su would naturally be a little confused in shock.

However, Lu Su was an extremely wise man after all. He quickly calmed down and asked, "You said that the envoy sent by Cao Cao was to join forces with Youzhou to attack us together. How did you know? You must know that this matter is not small and you should not lie!"

Zhao Xin then changed his mind, and it turned out that Lu Su asked him that it was this. Zhao Xin was surprised: Don’t the general know everything? Why are you still asking me?

However, Zhao Xin did not dare to talk back to Lu Su, but that was too far from the level. Zhao Xin quickly replied carefully: "General, this is not wrong. Cao Cao's envoys live in this inn, like us, we are the 'mei' courtyard, and they are the 'ju' courtyard. However, Cao Cao's envoys are better than you. They moved in after you went out today. But that was just their followers. It is said that their Lord Sima went to exercise as soon as he came here. He didn't come back until noon. And after he came back, he kept sending people to post to entertain celebrities. Isn't that right now, there are still gongs and drums on their side?"

Lu Su scolded angrily: "Looking! I'll ask you how you know that Cao Cao's envoy came to Youzhou to join forces with them to attack us. Who asked you who have any? What does his treat have to do with us?"

Zhao Xin muttered with grievance, "Why is it okay? Their places are lively, so I naturally went over to ask. Their followers, who were just a first-timer, thought I was from this inn, so they told me that they were from the court and followed Lord Sima to Youzhou to discuss with Lord Taiwei to jointly attack Jiangnan. I wouldn't know this? Besides, Lord Sima is so familiar with this place. He has such a wide connection, so he must be much better than none of us. I think our peace talks will be of great luck."

"Nonsense!" Lu Su's face sank, Zhao Xin dared not say anything. He stepped aside. But Lu Su's heart churned.

Lu Su's judgment should not be fake for Zhao Xin's words. People who go on missions and negotiated peace are generally open and upright, and there is nothing to hide. For the sake of gain, it is public. Both sides have a public opinion. Just like if you want to negotiate with Youzhou, there is nothing to keep secret. What you want is everyone knows it, so as to achieve a guard against faith. Therefore, it is normal for the Sima sent by Cao Cao to the Youzhou Alliance to jointly send troops to let his subordinates know a rough idea. Unless there is some exceptions that cannot be made public.

However, after Lu Su was convinced that Zhao Xin was right, he became worried about the agreement he signed with Xun Yu. After all, this was just a memorandum of understanding. There was an agreement, but not a formal contract. If Xun Yu was persuaded by that Sima, or if the Taiwei was persuaded by that Sima, and the Wu army was in a state of attack on both sides, it would be too dangerous.

Thinking of this, Lu Su could no longer sit down. He got up and walked out.

Zhao Xin asked from the side: "General, where are you going?"

Lu Su said without even looking back: "Don't ask more questions. You can wait for me to come back with peace of mind." After that, Lu Su went out of the courtyard and called the inn staff to lead the horses and rode away.

In a short while, Lu Su came to Xun Yu's office again. Lu Su reported his name and was introduced.

When Lu Su saw Xun Yu again, Xun Yu was dressed in a casual outfit, and the original official clothes had been taken off. It seemed that Xun Yu had already gotten off work and was about to leave.

Lu Su did not be polite to Xun Yu, and asked directly: "Mr. Xun, it is reported that Cao Cao also had envoys here. I don't know if this is the case."

Xun Yu looked at Lu Su and said calmly: "That's right. This is the case. General Lu's news is well-informed."

"So. The agreement we signed before was Mr. Xun who played with me?" Lu Su opened his eyes wide and stared at Xun Yu and asked.

"What does General Lu mean? Our Youzhou document agreement has always been fair. It is not easy to make a fortune for a thousand gold. How can General Lu play with it?!" Xun Yu said seriously.

In Xun Yu's eyes, Lu Su did not see the falsehood. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Su heard that Cao Gong wanted to bring the Grand Marshal to send troops to Jiangnan together. Therefore, he had some concerns. He hoped that Mr. Xun would forgive his crime." After that, he greeted the ground with a bow.

Xun Yu supported him with his hands and said with a smile: "General Lu, you are really worried. Yes, Cao Gong and my grand lieutenant were in-laws. He heard that Wu Hou offended my grand lieutenant, and he really wanted to join forces with my grand lieutenant to attack Wu Hou. But you also know that my grand lieutenant is kind and does not want to kill each other at all, let alone your Wu Hou has the intention to resolve it. If you hadn't had a chat with my grand lieutenant yesterday, we would have responded yesterday.

It was time to sign the peace agreement. Therefore, after knowing the intention of Cao Gong to send someone here, my Grand Marshal still maintained his willingness to not become. And then Sima was received by me as usual. As for not introducing you before, I was afraid that you would misunderstand and hurt your harmony. Now, Cao Gong and Wu Hou are both pillars of the sky. If you have a misunderstanding and fight again, the people who suffer will be the people of our Han Dynasty. General Lu, you must forgive me."

Lu Su was moved: This is the real wise man who cares about the people. Lu Su immediately politely said to Xun Yu again: "Mr. Xun is dedicated to serving the people, and Su admires him."

Xun Yu quickly helped Lu Su up again, patted Lu Su's arm and said, "General Lu, please do not tell the Marquis of Wu about this, so as not to cause any accidents."

Lu Su nodded and said, "Su Ding should be kept in mind."

After Lu Su finished speaking, he said goodbye and left. The next day he set off and returned to Shuzhong.

When Lu Su set off, Sima Lang also visited Xun Yu again.

Xun Yu received Sima Lang very politely and said to Sima Lang very politely: "Master Sima. You came a little late. Sun Quan from Jiangdong is just a junior who inherited his father and brother Yu Yin. How long can he last under my Youzhou army? This time, my Youzhou headquarters has not moved, but my Taiwei was the Zhenxi Army led by General Yun Chang, who had already beaten them to pieces. Hanzhong had long been taken down by our army. If they hadn't been tactful and admitted their mistakes, Shuzhong would have been under the control of our army. However, you also know that my Taiwei is a cultivator who is kind and does not want to kill each other with the same clan. Since they already know that they are wrong, they are not going to pursue it again."

When Sima Lang heard this, he was shocked by the strength of Youzhou, but he also thought that among the guests yesterday, the envoy of Jiangdong came soon. How did he run to the front of him? Therefore, he spoke tentatively and said: "Mr. Xun, I came to visit yesterday, but I haven't heard of this yet. Why did he suddenly change today? Could it be that Lord Xun thinks that my intentions are dishonest?"

Xun Yu smiled and said, "Mr. Sima, you came yesterday as a guest, so I will naturally be very happy to entertain you. As for the envoy of Jiangdong, it has just arrived. However, the person had already made a peace talk in Hanzhong. It was just a matter of making an agreement. This relationship will naturally be clear. If Sima could come more than a month earlier, even if my Taiwei was not easy to kill, my ministers would have to fight to the death. Sima came to my Youzhou several times, but he was not an outsider. You should know the hearts of the ministers in Youzhou."

Sima Lang's heart trembled and remembered. In Youzhou, the Taiwei Liu Ming, who was not willing to fight because of his immortal cultivation, was very wary. He couldn't help but regret that he had come one step late. He couldn't help but blurt out: "Mr. Xun, since Sun Quan dared to offend the Taiwei, if he was not severely punished, how could he be powerful in all fields? If Sun Quan could breathe, the fish and rice town in Jiangnan and the Tianfu Country in Shuzhong. In one or two years, he would be able to recover his vitality and become more prosperous. If he offended the Taiwei again, wouldn't he raise a tiger to be a disaster!"

Xun Yu laughed and said, "What's the point of being a country of fish and rice, and a country of Tianfu! What I am afraid of in Youzhou is that he won't come. If he comes again, we can advise the Taiwei to send troops to destroy it and then unify the world!"

Sima Lang didn't believe Xun Yu's big talk, and he was determined to test the true strength of Youzhou, and pretended to be suspicious: "Mr. Xun, this is a mistake. Things in the world are unpredictable. Ten years of Hedong and ten years of Hexi. How can you say a single word!"

Seeing that Sima Lang was a little disbelief, Xun Yu was obviously a little over his face and couldn't come down. He immediately stood up and said, "Hehe. Lord Sima, you don't know the boundaries of Youzhou, so you are here to watch the sky. Come on, I will make an exception today to open your eyes." After that, he stood up and walked.

Sima Lang was secretly happy. It seemed that the effect was good this time. He was indeed a genius. He was so angry that he was just a few words that made Xun Yu confused. It seemed that he could learn some secrets from Youzhou today.

At this time, Xun Yu had already taken the lead in front of the martial arts hall, pushed open the door of the hall, and called Sima Lang and said, "Sir Sima, please come and take a look."

When Sima Lang saw that it was a martial arts hall, he felt even more happy. Sima Lang was so curious about such a large hall from the beginning, and it was a martial arts hall with books.

Sima Lang pretended not to care and stepped forward calmly to look at it. However, when Sima Lang looked at it, he was like Lu Su, first confused, then curious, and then shocked.

Xun Yu asked proudly: "Sir Sima, can you see why this thing is now?"

Sima Lang said hesitantly: "This object should be a landform map, but why is the Central Plains so small? I may be wrong." Obviously, Sima Lang also saw the labels of the small towns under Cao Cao's name on the sand table.

Xun Yu laughed and said, "Sima, this is not a mistake. It is your experience! In ancient times, the seven countries fought in China. Qin Shihuang unified the six countries and determined the boundaries of the Central Plains. However, the northern dikes were outside the boundaries of our country. Qin Shihuang connected the city walls of the six countries and formed a Great Wall to resist the Huns. Why is this territory outside the frontier not my territory? And outside the frontier, there were countless prairie fires. These landforms were all measured and mapped by our Youzhou soldiers. How could they be fake? Especially the four overseas islands."
