With Guan Yu's assistance, it would not be too difficult for Zhao Tong to enter the Wu camp.

However, given his status, Lu Su would not specially set up a seat for him. He could only stand with Zhou Cang behind Guan Yu, one on the left and one on the right, quietly listening to the talks.

"General Guan, your army is unwilling to keep its promise, return the three counties, and ignore the alliance?"

After a while, Lu Su was still forcing him with words.

Hearing this, Guan Yu's red cheeks seemed to be hot at the moment, and he didn't know how to respond.

In a word.

Seeing that he had been taking advantage of Nanjun's affairs to take the initiative, Guan Yu was unable to deal with him normally.

Immediately, Zhao Tong gently approached Guan Yu, lowered his head and whispered in his ear.

After half a while.

Guan Yu suddenly looked shocked, with an extremely confident look on his face.

"Zijing, did your army really borrow our army's land in Jingzhou?"

Suddenly speaking, Lu Su felt a little unbelievable. He didn't know what Guan Yu was thinking, so he replied: "Of course it is. If the Marquis of Wu hadn't borrowed the land of Jingzhou to live with you, the emperor's uncle would have had the opportunity to benefit.

State?"

Although he couldn't figure it out, he would not lose the initiative.

"good!"

"Zijing also knows that the seven counties of Jingxiang and Xiang have always been large in territory and rich in resources. They are connected to Nanyang in the north, Lingnan in the south, Bashu in the west, and Wuhui in the east. But I don't know where exactly your army borrowed it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Yu's mouth curled up in an instant, and he continued to ask questions on this topic.

"this……"

Just as he was about to respond, Lu Su suddenly realized that he seemed to have entered the rhythm of the other party's conversation.

"General Guan, our two families are in an alliance, why are we so concerned?"

He had no choice but to change the subject.

"Zijing, the so-called blood brothers, clearly settled the scores. Although the two families joined hands to fight against Cao, since your army now needs our army to return to Jingzhou, I thought that I would naturally have to sort everything out."

"So as not to leave any problems in the future."

As soon as he said this, Guan Yu continued, without giving Lu Su a chance to react.

"When our two families launched the Battle of Nanjun before, Zhou Gongjin was responsible for leading the main force to siege Jiangling City and clear out the surrounding strongholds, while I led the army to the north to resist the reinforcements from Cao's army."

"And my lord will lead his troops south to conquer the four counties in Jingnan."

"In the end, our lord used his reputation in the past to level the four counties. Zhou Gongjin also defeated Cao Ren and occupied Jiangling, the capital of Nanjun. Later, in order to thank our army for their contribution in this battle."

"The public security and other places on the south bank of the river are specially donated to our army."

A few words were spoken slowly.

Guan Yu paused and then said again: "If I am right as I expected, after Zhou Gongjin's death, it was you, Zijing, who overcame all the arguments and persuaded the Marquis of Wu to lend Jiangling and other places to our army when the river was already north, right?"

"

"In other words, our army actually only borrowed half of Nanjun, mainly the capital Jiangling, but why does your army always insist that it borrowed the entire Jingzhou?"

"Besides, Jingzhou is already in the north and is still under the control of Cao Jun. How can Wu Hou lend it to us?"

Under cross-examination one by one, Lu Su suddenly didn't know how to respond.

"this……"

Seeing Guan Yu suddenly become so eloquent, Lu Su looked slightly suspicious for a moment.

Such sophistry immediately invalidated his initiative, making him seem to have entered the opponent's rhythm.

After pondering for a while, Lu Su had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Seeing Lu Su's delay in responding, a faint smile appeared on Guan Yu's face, and then Danfeng glanced behind him.

When Zhao Tong saw this, the two of them looked at each other and smiled slightly.

Follow closely.

Guan Yu continued to press forward step by step: "Zijing, I just made the calculation, I wonder if there is any mistake?"

In one word.

At this moment, Lu Su felt the waves of pressure coming from his words and couldn't help but feel on pins and needles.

The offensive and defensive momentum was instantly reversed.

Now it's Lu Su's turn to be speechless!

This is the way to go.

Previously, they had unanimously changed their rhetoric to the outside world, saying that they were borrowing Jingzhou from the other party, thus taking the initiative in public opinion.

Although there is only a two-character difference between "borrowing Jingzhou" and "borrowing Nanjun", the article is actually quite large!

"What General Guan said is true, it is true."

Lu Su pondered for a long time. Although he was unwilling to do so, he had no choice but to say that what Guan Yu said was true. He had indeed only borrowed the land of Nanjun.

He really didn't have any reason to argue.

"Since Zijing also agrees with what I said."

"Then I will make a careful calculation on how to return it to satisfy your army."

Having said that, seeing that Lu Su had completely entered into his own rhythm, the smile on Guan Yu's face became thicker and thicker, and he talked eloquently.

"The land of Nanjun, which is north of the river, was lent to our army by Wu Houxiang. We and the whole army will never deny this. After all, the capital of Jiangling was indeed pacified by Zhou Gongjin at a great cost."

"But the general's prediction was good. Xiakou and other places in the west of Jiangxia should belong to our army, right?"

"In order to enable Wuhou to have access to the waters of Jingzhou, this place was also handed over to your army."

"However, the strategic location of the waters around Xiakou is indeed difficult to replace the role of the capital Jiangling City."

"But I don't know why your army ordered our army to return to the three counties with one voice?"

One word fell.

Although Guan Yu seemed to be speaking the truth, his words were soft yet strong, always taking the initiative.

"General Guan, you can't say this, right?"

"The capital, Jiangling, is connected to Bashu in the west, guarding the naturally dangerous passage of Wu Gorge. If we had insisted not to lend Nanjun, how would your army have grown stronger now?"

"This is because Wu Hou knew the overall situation. In order to consolidate the alliance between the two families and unite the emperor's uncles to fight against Cao's thieves, he reluctantly borrowed the Nanjun that our army had worked so hard to capture!"

"Now, isn't it a matter of course that your army needs to be returned to the three counties?"

The words came out solemnly.

Lu Su also responded tit for tat.

Looking at this posture, naturally neither party wants to suffer a loss.

After hearing this, Guan Yu responded with a smile: "What Zijing said is reasonable. Your army is indeed very sincere in borrowing Nanjun. The strategic location of this place is also very important."

"But our army is stationed in Nanjun, and it is also facing Cao's heavy troops in the north of Jingzhou. How great is the pressure on the defense line?"

"Our army is on the front line in Jingxiang against Cao Cao, and it also ensures the safety of the Yangtze River defense line on the western front for your army, right?"

"If the worries about the future were not solved, how could the Marquis of Wu be able to lead the Northern Expedition wholeheartedly?"

One word fell.

He paused, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said sternly: "Now that wars have broken out one after another in Nan County, it has long lost its original prosperity."

"If there is no support from Jingnan counties, how can our army rely on Nanjun to resist Cao's army?"

"But if Wu Hou insists on the return of our troops, I would like to return the land of Nanjun to the original route, and lead the main force of his troops to withdraw to the south bank of the river to rest."

"Zijing, what do you think of this move?"
