Although they knew that Liu Zhang had sent people to deliver gifts when Zhao Feng got married, they did not dare to judge that Liu Zhang intended to surrender. Zhao Feng was the only one who could be so decisive.
At night, Yizhou Liu Zhang now felt that he was in danger, and he walked back and forth in the palace, unable to rest for a moment.
"Xiao Zhi, I clearly asked you to go and deliver gifts during the wedding of King Wei's military advisor. Why did King Wei lead his troops to Jingzhou now?"
Looking at Fazheng who was summoned, he stopped and couldn't help but ask.
Liu Zhang was weak but suspicious by nature. Before Fazheng could answer, he looked at Fazheng with a sad expression and said, "You should have given the gift away, right?"
Fazheng smiled bitterly. He also understood Liu Zhang's character, and then explained: "I went to Chenliu in person, how could it not be delivered?"
"It was Zhao Feng who personally received me back then. He didn't show any wrong treatment to me and treated me equally with everyone else."
After hearing the news, Liu Zhang felt a little relieved, but the panic on his face never retreated.
When they settled in Jingzhou, the only two major forces adjacent to them were Liu Zhang and Soochow. Compared with the two, Yizhou was easier to bully.
Liu Zhang looked panicked again, looked at Fazheng and said, "Then what do you think Cao Cao wants to do by sending troops to Jingzhou?"
Cao Jun already has a garrison in Jingzhou, and now they want to send troops here. What is this?
When Liu Zhang thought of this, he became even more panicked. Cao Cao was clearly coming to attack him!
"Xiaozhi, send me spies immediately to investigate and pay attention to Cao Cao's movements!"
Then a scout happened to walk in.
"Report to Cao Jun."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhang broke out in cold sweat and murmured: "It's over, it's over! Cao Cao and the others must have attacked!"
Liu Zhang's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more nervous and panicked.
"What happened to Cao Jun?!"
At this time, the scout said: "Cao Jun sent envoys to discuss."
At this time, Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he just sent envoys to discuss the matter.
So, Liu Zhang waved his hand and said: "Please come in quickly!"
The staff on the side stood respectfully and waited, looking at Liu Zhang and he couldn't help but shake his head.
After a while, Lu Su walked in, followed by Taishi Ci.
"Lu Su Lu Zijing has met Mr. Zhou Mu."
Seeing Lu Su's approachable attitude, Liu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Please take a seat."
Then he looked at Lu Su with curiosity and asked, "I wonder what the purpose of King Wei's asking you to come here is?"
Lu Su smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "This trip was not arranged by my lord, but my military advisor asked me to come and give you a few words."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Zhang showed a look of astonishment. Who knows about Cao Cao's military advisor Zhao Feng now?
Even at Zhao Feng's last wedding, he asked Fazheng to give gifts. How could Liu Zhang not pay attention to this person?
"Then what did your military advisor say?"
Lu Su coughed a few times, smiled and said nothing.
Seeing Lu Su like this, Liu Zhang immediately waved his hand and said calmly behind him: "Come here, let's have some tea."
At this time, Lu Su continued: "When the military advisor was getting married, you gave him a gift. Today, you asked me to return the gift to you."
Hearing this, Liu Zhang looked happy. At least Cao Cao's military advisor had received a gift. He asked out of curiosity: "What's the return gift?"
Facing Liu Zhang's question, Lu Su was not anxious at all.
He looked at the tea brought by the maid beside him, smiled, and took it in his hand.
"Huhu."
He also blew it, then took two sips slowly, and then said slowly: "Actually, I didn't want to say it at first, but the military advisor forced me so, so I will tell you."
Looking at Lu Su, Liu Zhang showed a happy expression and said quickly: "Thank you, military advisor. Please tell me."
Lu Su glanced at Liu Zhang and said in a deep voice: "Then I dare to ask what you have done in the past two days?"
At this time, Liu Zhang seemed to be reminiscing, and after a moment he said: "I was busy with the autumn harvest, and at the same time, I took inventory of the grain and grass."
Lu Su slammed the table and said angrily: "Absurd!"
"You are so ignorant. Now Zhang Lu has close contacts with Ma Teng from both states. Now that the autumn harvest is over, troops will definitely be sent to attack you!"
"Soochow has also experienced a defeat. You have so much food and grass savings from the autumn harvest now. Once you start a war with Zhang Lu, do you think Soochow will let this opportunity pass?"
"You haven't taken any precautions yet!"
"It's a shame that the military advisor sent troops here to help you guard Soochow. I should have persuaded the military advisor in the first place and shouldn't have come here to tell you!"
"I'll let you divide the two states with Soochow!"
Liu Zhang looked at him with an angry look on his face.
Seeing Lu Su reacting like this, Liu Zhang was also stunned. He never expected that Cao Jun was here to help him.
Liu Zhang looked at Fazheng standing aside and quickly gave him a questioning look.
And Fazheng was also confused by what Lu Su said. It seemed that what Lu Su said made sense. Coupled with Lu Su's lifelike expression, he said it with a breath.
"I'm afraid this matter is just as Brother Zijing said. I'm afraid Yizhou will face a catastrophe!"
After receiving Lu Su's rebuke and hearing Fazheng's affirmation, Liu Zhang froze on the spot, his whole body was like a lightning strike, and a trace of fear appeared in his heart.
"Brother Zijing, what should I do?"
Looking at the indifferent Lu Su in front of him, Liu Zhang panicked.
This time, the call to Lu Su and his title were changed, and he even added a brother. You can imagine Liu Zhang's anxiety.
Lu Su said calmly: "I am just here to convey the news on the orders of the military advisor. What's the use of asking me about this matter?"
"Now you should think about how to welcome Zhang Lu's Xiliang army and Sun Quan's attack!"
Looking at Liu Zhang in front of him, Lu Su looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away. This made Liu Zhang panic. He looked at Fazheng aside and asked quickly: "Xiaozhi, if they attack with an army, how good are we?"
Chances of winning?”
Fazheng thought for a while, then quickly shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'll survive a narrow escape. This is a catastrophe for Yizhou!"
This made Liu Zhang's face turn pale, and he looked towards Lu Su with a trace of prayer in his eyes.
"Brother Zijing, you must help me!"
"Now that Cao's army is so large, I can ask Brother Zijing to say a few words of kindness and help me to defend Yizhou!"
Lu Su glanced at Liu Zhang, showing a hint of disappointment.
"I am just a small staff member. I have not seen your lord's ability. Now I am afraid that the only one who can discuss with your lord at will is the military advisor."
As soon as he said this, Liu Zhang showed a hint of joy.
"Then please ask Brother Zijing to say a few kind words to the military advisor!"
Lu Su showed a reluctant look and said: "This matter may be difficult, but for your sake, I will try my best to fight for you."
"Well, since the words have been brought to you, I won't bother you anymore."
