But it was said that Liu Cong led his troops to the outside of Wuchang City and chose to camp near the mountains and rivers. Then he issued a letter of war and sent envoys to the city to make an appointment with Xu Sheng, the Wu soldier guard in the city, so as to make preparations.

Decisive battle outside the city."

After the envoy went out to deliver the message, Liu Cong sat in the Chinese army's tent and chatted with Deng Bao about the military situation.

At this time, Zhao Yun had already led 10,000 troops and set up camp five miles east of the city, cutting off the communication between Xu Sheng in the city and the Wu soldiers led by Ding Feng in the distance.

Liu Cong smiled and said to Deng Bao: "Actually, there is no need to take these steps. We can just attack the city directly. At this time, Zhao Yun has led his troops to block Ding Feng. We have no worries about attacking the city. However, this time I will attack the city.

Soochow, we don't want to do things too hastily, wasting military power and damaging lives. As long as we proceed slowly, the crusade against Soochow will definitely succeed."

Deng Bao nodded in agreement.

At this time, a report came from outside the tent, saying that Lu Su, the envoy from Soochow, had requested to see the lord with a letter of state.

When Liu Cong heard that Lu Su had come to see him, he thought about it briefly and basically understood what Lu Su meant, so he ordered him to come in and see him.

When Lu Su heard this, he put on his makeup and walked in with his head held high. Jiang Gan and four servants were followed behind him.

After Lu Su entered the tent, he bowed and saluted and said: "Lu Su of Eastern Wu, on the order of my lord Sun Quan, came to pay homage to Liu Cong, the governor of Jingzhou." After saying this, he held his credentials in both hands and presented them to Liu Cong.

Liu Cong took a closer look and saw that Jiang Qian was a wretched figure with a funny face. He also saw four servants behind him carrying gifts. They all looked ferocious, just like the evil ghost. He knew he was not a good thing, so he took precautions in his heart.

.Especially when I saw the leader, he was lean and lean, with less than three ounces of meat, like a clothes rack, with sharp eyes and very capable.

When Liu Cong saw this, he was speechless. He glanced sideways at Liang Zhuer and ordered Fatty Lai to take the letter of credence. Then he continued: "It is not easy for the Lu envoy to go on an envoy. He is tired from the journey. Please sit down and have tea."

The guard offered tea, and Lu Su took it.

Over there, Liang Zhu'er had already leaned over to Lu Su's servant and began to monitor the servant and count the gifts.

Here Liu Cong asked: "I have heard of Zijing's name for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. Today I have sent an envoy here, but I don't know what I can teach you."

Lu Su said: "I have been ordered by my lord Wu Hou to come and pay homage to Liu Zhizhong and convey Wu Hou's words."

"Messenger, please speak."

"After my lord Wu Hou read Liu Zhizhong's "Essay on Discussing Wu", he thought that what he said in the appeal was very absurd. Wu Hou never intended to join forces with Liu Zhizhong to overthrow the imperial court, nor did he think of dividing the world equally with Liu Zhizhong.

However, Liu Zhizhong fabricated lies and exposed them to the world.

This move is very rogue, and my lord Wu Hou is very angry.

This envoy would like to lodge a protest with Liu Zhizhong regarding this matter, and how about asking Liu Zhizhong to give an explanation?"

When Liu Cong heard this, he secretly laughed in his heart: "Fuck you! That son will explain it to you. Well, this is definitely not Lu Su's original intention when he sent the envoy. Haha, I'll tease him first and let him reveal his true intention."

Thinking of this, he pretended to be surprised and asked: "Sun Quan secretly sent a letter to contact me to attack Xuchang, rob and kill Emperor Xian, attack Cao Cao, and then divide the world equally. Doesn't Zijing know?"

Lu Su was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Zijing really didn't know that this would happen. Why didn't Marquis Wu tell me about it?"

When Liu Cong heard this, he knew that the honest man Lu Su had fallen into his trap, so he pretended to be angry and said: "Sun Quan sent a scout to secretly send me a message, asking me to send troops to attack Fancheng. He sent troops to cross the river to attack Yuzhou, and then combined his troops to attack Xuchang.

After killing Emperor Xian, they attacked Cao Cao from behind. After defeating Cao Cao, they divided the world equally.

Sun Quan also said that he had contacted Wuhuan and Xianbei outside the Great Wall, and made an appointment to send troops to encircle and suppress Cao Cao at the same time.

However, it has been half a year since I sent troops to regain the lost territory, and to this day, Sun Quan has not sent a single soldier to cross the river. I am angry about this matter, what reason does Sun Quan have for coming to question me?"

When the honest man Lu Su heard this, he was immediately stunned. He looked up and looked at Liu Cong, only to see Liu Cong staring at him with glaring eyes, two sword eyebrows, and the sword tip was slightly out of the sky, as if he was coming to kill him. Lu Su

Su was frightened in his heart and was speechless for a moment. He turned to look at Jiang Gan and introduced awkwardly: "This is my deputy envoy Jiang Ziyi and Jiang Gan."

At this time, Jiang Gan had already looked at Lu Su to introduce himself. After hearing the introduction, he hurried over to salute and said: "Jiang Gan, deputy envoy of Soochow, pays homage to Liu Zhizhong of Jingzhou."

Liu Cong saw him and wanted to tease him, so he said: "Your deputy envoy Ping Shen. As a senior official close to Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, you should know that Sun Quan sent an envoy to secretly contact me to send troops to attack Cao Cao in Jiangbei, right?"

When Jiang Gan heard this, he immediately felt very excited, because no one had ever thought so highly of him.

Today, Liu Cong considers himself a senior official close to Sun Quan. Can he not be excited?

So, he mumbled his answer: "This

Really

I seem to remember that there is, um, there is no such thing?"

As soon as Liu Cong heard this, he knew that Jiang Gan's things were not worthy of service, so he pretended to be angry and said: "A minister who does not maintain the same ideological and behavioral consistency with his master will go out to do things, and he will be at both ends, but he will not be able to move forward or backward.

.Is this deceiving the master or deceiving the other party? Get it for me, right and left! Under severe torture, we must make him tell the truth. Did Sun Quan send someone to contact me?"

The guards on the left and right shouted "Here!" and were about to take action.

When Jiang Qian heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Take care of the situation and calm down the anger. Please give me some time to think about it."

Liu Cong waved his hand after hearing this, signaling to the guards not to torture him and to let Jiang Gan speak for himself.

Jiang Gan stood there with his brows furrowed and thought: "If you don't tell what you see, you will be punished.

Although Liu Cong would not kill me, he did not say anything wrong to the envoy even though the two countries were at war and refused to kill me.

After finally going on an envoy, the envoy did not suffer any physical pain, but the deputy envoy was beaten to pieces and carried back to Soochow. This cannot be said to be a decent thing in any way. How can we live in Soochow from now on?"

When Jiang Gan thought of this, he looked at Lu Su. He saw Lu Su frowning and staring at him. He didn't speak. He just nodded towards him. He didn't know what it meant. He thought it was Lu Su allowing him to lie.

Then, I thought: "Even if I tell a lie, Lu Su won't report it truthfully when I go back. As long as I don't get punished, I'll just pretend to admit it."

When Jiang Gan thought of this, he said: "It seems that there is such a thing, but I can't remember it clearly. This

Marquis Wu really discussed it with me. As for who should be sent to deliver the message, Marquis Wu is usually too embarrassed to bother me with such a trivial matter. So I really don’t know who has been here."

When Lu Su heard Jiang Gan speak like this, he immediately lost his composure. He couldn't sit still anymore, and he complained about Sun Quan in his heart: "What kind of things have been done? This is not asking me to go out and slap myself in the face."

Fight?"

But Liu Cong secretly laughed at the side and cursed: "You two rotten people want to take advantage of me when you go out, and you don't even weigh how much you weigh." After cursing secretly, Liu Cong asked Lu Su: "Zi
Chapter completed!
