Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 605 Sun Ce asks for help and borrows artillery

After listening to Lu Su's words, Sun Ce fell silent, his eyes were full of sadness, and he sat there without saying a word.

Lu Meng, who endured the silence for a long time, suddenly said: "Master, forgive me, the reason why Cao Cao came to attack us is not because of Liu Wei. If we don't send troops to attack Xuzhou, how can we have today's disaster!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Sun Ce reprimanded Lu Meng, paused, and then said: "We attacked Xuzhou, and Liu Wei gave me a war horse. I took advantage of him, so there is no reason not to send troops. Moreover, we also got a lot of money and food by attacking Xuzhou." The common people have obtained great benefits!"

Cheng Pu said: "Then we can let Liu Wei send troops to give Liu Wei some benefits!"

Sun Ce smiled wryly, and said, "We are no match for Liu Wei and his Hebei in military, political, civilian, and material aspects. Liu Wei can be said to have everything. How can I have anything that makes him tempted!"

"Then we have to give it a try, my lord. This subordinate suggests sending an envoy to Hebei to persuade Liu Wei to send troops!"

"The last general will second the proposal!"

"The last general will second the proposal!"

"...!"

All the generals in Sun Ce's tent clasped their fists at Sun Ce.

"it is good!"

Sun Ce nodded, and then asked, "Who can go to Hebei?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Jia Hua.

Seeing that everyone looked at him, Jia Hua hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I can't, I can't. I almost made a fool of myself when I went to Liaozhou, let alone lobbying! Let me go, I'm afraid I'll screw things up!"

Sun Ce also recognized Jia Hua's ability, so he nodded and said, "Jia Hua is really not suitable to lobby Liu Wei. Could it be that besides Jia Hua, I, Jiangdong, can't even choose an envoy?"

At this moment, Lu Su stood up and said: "This subordinate is willing to go to Hebei for a try, but I don't know what conditions Liu Wei will propose!"

Sun Ce said, "As long as you don't send your son as a hostage to insult our Jiangdong, you can agree to the rest!"

"Yes!"

After Lu Su saluted Sun Ce, he went back to pack his luggage, set off overnight, and took a fast boat to Hebei.

Sun Ce set up defenses on the south bank of the Yangtze River to prevent Liu Bei from landing.

Zhou Yu also received news from Sun Ce that he was strictly on guard in Dantu, and Cao Cao couldn't hold Dantu for a while.

But as the saying goes, if you defend for a long time, you will lose. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce can defend for a while, but he can't last forever. Sooner or later, someone will break through.

Let's make a long story short, let's put aside Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's fortifications for the time being, and just talk about Lu Su, overcoming obstacles and waves along the way, and finally came to Hebei and entered Yecheng to meet Liu Wei after untold hardships.

"Under Lusu, see His Highness the King of Hebei!"

After Lu Su met Liu Wei, he bowed to him.

"Excuse me, why is Lu Zijing here?"

Liu Wei asked Lu Su.

"I am here to ask for help! Please send troops to attack the Cao bandits, and lend me [-] cannons from Jiangdong!"

Lu Su answered.

"Oh, I came here for help!"

Liu Wei let out a long sigh, and then said: "This king also wants to rescue Bo Fu, but you also know that Jizhou is newly settled, the people's hearts are unstable, and the soldiers are tired of fighting. This king is also powerless!"

Lu Su saw that Liu Wei's words meant that he was unwilling to send troops, so he said: "My lord, before I came, the king of my family Wu once told me that if you have any request, as long as it is not too excessive, you can agree to it." you!"

"Look, Zijing, what you said is not kind. Why do I have any demands? Although I haven't met Bofu a few times, we have been friends for a long time. How can I not help him when he is in trouble? But I am really powerless!"

Liu Wei said again.

"Can……!"

Lu Su was still about to say something, when he heard Liu Wei say: "Zi Jing came from a long way, full of travel and dust, go down and rest first, the king will host a banquet to welcome the wind tonight!"

Lu Su still wanted to say something, but Liu Wei had already issued an order to evict the guest, so why did he have the audacity to stay here, so he had to go down to rest first.

Just halfway there, Lu Su heard someone asking tentatively: "Is that man Lu Zijing?"

When Lu Su heard someone calling him, he hurriedly looked up, saw an ugly face, and said, "So it's Pang Shiyuan!"

This person is none other than Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan. Pang Tong and Lu Su are old friends, and they don't want to meet here today.

Pang Tong asked: "Isn't Zijing in Jiangdong? Why did he come to Hebei? Could it be that he came here to join my lord?"

Lu Su replied: "With this perseverance, Shiyuan came to join the King of Hebei from thousands of miles away, but I did not. I came to Hebei to ask the King of Hebei to send troops to rescue my lord! But who ever thought that the King of Hebei would not Send troops!"

It's hard for Pang Tongyi to say anything at the same time, after all, he belongs to Liu Wei. If he helps Lu Su persuade Liu Wei to send troops, he will be suspected of cheating.

Lu Su suddenly thought of something, grabbed Pang Tong, and asked, "Do you know what hobbies the King of Hebei has, Shi Yuan?"

Pang Tong thought for a while, shook his head, and replied, "I really don't know about this."

Lu Su was a little disappointed.

But Pang Tong didn't finish his sentence, he paused, and said again: "Although I don't know, Guo Fengxiao knows! I'll take you to find him!"

As he said that, Pang Tong pulled up Lu Su's sleeve and left, but halfway, Pang Tong first pulled Lu Su to a restaurant.

Lu Su said angrily: "Shi Yuan still has time to drink, but I can't wait to drink, how can I keep drinking!"

Pang Tong laughed and said: "Who said I want to buy you a drink? I asked you to buy wine and send it to Guo Fengxiao. When that guy sees the wine, he can't walk. You buy him wine, and he will give you a drink." idea, and let me tell you, in Liaozhou, apart from the concubine, there is no one who knows the King of Hebei better than Guo Fengxiao!"

"So that's the case, thank you, Brother Shi Yuan, I was the one who wrongly blamed you just now!"

Lu Su hurriedly apologized to Pang Tong, then bought a large jar of good wine, and ordered someone to carry it to Guo Jia's mansion.

Originally, Guo Jia was dependent on Liu Wei's house, but after marrying a wife and having a child, Guo Jia moved back to his own home.And Liu Wei saw that Guo Jia's family was poor, so he rewarded Guo Jia with a hundred gold and let him set up the family business.

When they arrived at Guo Jia's mansion, Pang Tong knocked on the door and brought Lu Su to Guo Jia's study.

After entering the study, Guo Jia looked up and saw two people came, a stranger and an acquaintance, the acquaintance was Pang Tong, but he had never seen a stranger before, so he stood up and asked, "Brother Shi Yuan, Who is this?"

Lu Su hurriedly reported his family name, and said, "I'm next to Huai Lu Zijing, and I've met Prime Minister Guo!"

"It turned out to be Lord Lu, I have admired you for a long time! Please sit down quickly!"

After saying that, Guo Jia asked the two of them to sit down, "I don't know why Zijing is here?"
