    "What, what?"

    Lu Su asked in surprise: "Gong Jin, is what you said true?"

    Zhou Yu nodded and said nothing more.

    "Wu Hou, if you plan to form an alliance with Liu Bei, you must be prepared to let Liu Bei annex Yizhou." Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan.

    Then, without saying much, he cupped his hands and said, "I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave."

    Not long after Zhou Yu left, Lu Su chased him out.

    "Gong Jin, Gong Jin."

    "Wait a minute"

    "The discussion was over so quickly?" Zhou Yu asked, looking back at Lu Su who was catching up.

    "Is there anything else that needs to be discussed?"

    Lu Su shrugged and said, "Wu Hou is determined to submit a letter."

    "So do you."

    After finishing speaking, Lu Su said to Zhou Yu with a reproachful tone: "I asked you to come to see Wu Hou because I hope you can give Wu Hou some advice, but you said this. No wonder Wu Hou doesn't like you."

    Lu Su also knew that there was a conflict between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, so he always hoped to resolve the conflict between the two.  Just like today, Sun Quan sent someone to find him, so he took Zhou Yu to see Sun Quan.

    "What I'm telling you is the truth. It's just that Wu Hou doesn't like to hear it." Zhou Yu said nonchalantly.

    "Does Liu Bei really want to attack Yizhou?" Lu Su asked.

    Lu Su did not consider this aspect. To be precise, many people would not think of this aspect.

    "Besides this, I can't think of any other reason." Zhou Yu said to Lu Su.

    For Zhou Yu, the only one Jiang Dong can let him talk to in a pleasant manner now is Lu Su.

    Zhou Yu didn¡¯t want to pay much attention to the others.

    "Although Liu Bei occupied Xiangyang, part of the population in Jingzhou was relocated. Liu Bei's strength is not strong. His strength is not as good as ours, unless he can be given time to recuperate."

    "But what Liu Bei lacks most now is time. Liu Zhe and Cao Cao have been crowned kings, which already shows their ambitions. They will not give Liu Bei time to slowly recuperate and improve his strength."

    After listening to Zhou Yu¡¯s words, Lu Su immediately understood.

    "So, Liu Bei set his sights on Yizhou and wanted to annex it."

    For people in this era, the most direct way to improve their strength is population.  Whoever has a large population will easily increase in strength.

    Why is Liu Zhe so strong?

    It is because Liu Zhe has continued to accept refugees and Yellow Turban prisoners since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so the population under his rule has continued to increase.

    It is no exaggeration to say that more than one-third of the population of the Han Dynasty was under Liu Zhe's rule.

    The more people you have, the more soldiers you can recruit, the more people you can cultivate, and the stronger your strength will naturally be.

    "Isn't Liu Bei famous for his benevolence and righteousness?"

    Lu Su asked again: "Aren't you afraid of destroying his benevolence and righteousness by doing this?"

    "Benevolence and righteousness?"

    A sneer appeared on Zhou Yu's face, and he asked Lu Su: "Zijing, you don't really think Liu Zhe is a benevolent and righteous person, do you?"

    "Of course not." Lu Su shook his head.

    He is not an ordinary ignorant person. Liu Bei said that his benevolence and righteousness can deceive ordinary people, but he cannot deceive people like Lu Su.

    ¡°If Liu Bei was really what he appeared to be, he would have been eaten up to the point where he would have been reduced to nothing.

    "What I mean is, Liu Bei is attacking Yizhou, and Liu Zhang is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so he is not afraid of people in the world coming against him?" Lu Su made his meaning clear.

    "With Zhuge Liang here, Liu Bei doesn't have to worry about this."

    Zhou Yu sneered and said: "There will definitely be a way for Liu Zhang to take the initiative to invite Liu Bei to Shu."

    "As long as Liu Bei is invited to Shu, Liu Bei will have 10,000 reasons to stay in Yizhou and eventually replace Liu Zhang."

    "Is there any way to stop it?" Lu Su asked Zhou Yu.

    Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "There is no good way. I can only send people to spread the news to make Liu Zhang alert. I hope Liu Zhang will not be easily fooled after hearing this."

    However, Zhou Yu did not have high hopes. He said: "However, the feasibility of this strategy is too low. After all, Liu Zhang is weak. Liu Bei only needs to send people to lobby, and it will be easy for him to be fooled."

    "Alas, what a pity." Lu Su shook his head and sighed.

    He does not want Liu Bei to grow stronger. It is not good for Sun Quan if Liu Bei grows stronger."Good news," he said depressedly: "We can't intervene directly."

    "If Jiangxia or Jiangling is in hand, we will still have a chance."

    Zhou Yu sneered and said, "It's a pity that Wu Hou lent Jiang Xia out."

    Lu Su looked a little embarrassed when he mentioned this. After all, it was Lu Su who facilitated the loan of Jiang Xia.

    "This is all my fault."

    Lu Su didn't want Sun Quan to take the blame for him, so he took the initiative to admit his responsibility for the matter. He said: "At that time, Cao Cao was still watching in Jingzhou. It was not appropriate for Wu Hou and Liu Bei to conflict, and Liu Bei had no place to stand, so I suggested that  Jiangxia was lent to Liu Bei, and I also hoped that Wu Hou could marry Liu Bei, but it's a pity"

    At the end, Lu Su did not continue, he shook his head.

    But Zhou Yu knew the reason why Lu Su shook his head.

    Originally, Lu Su's strategy was feasible. As long as Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Liu Bei would have an additional connection. The marriage could make both parties more trustful.

    But unfortunately, Sun Shangxiang disappeared.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
