Hearing Liu Bei's explanation, Mi Zhu felt a little confused.
He stared blankly at the wine glass in front of him for a while before shaking his head and saying,""Duke Xuande, are you serious?"
Since he had already fooled them to this extent, Liu Bei could only bite the bullet.
He nodded heavily and said,"Zizhong, it's true."”
"Phew…"
Mei Zhu took a deep breath.
Liu Bei's invitation had a huge impact on Mi Zhu, who had always been a businessman but had never been a scholar.
The expression on Mi Zhu's face changed rapidly a few times.
Bang...
Mei Zhu placed the wine cup heavily on the table and said in a deep voice,""It is my honor to be invited by Lord Xuande. From today onwards, I am willing to listen to your orders.”
With the word 'liege' spoken, the matter was settled.
Immediately, Liu Bei stood up from his seat and walked excitedly towards Mei Zhu.
Mei Zhu hurriedly stood up to welcome him.
After the two of them bowed to each other,
"My Lord!"
"Zi Zhong!"
Then, a scene full of gay love appeared.
The two of them held hands, and their expressions were so excited that they could not control themselves. They were just short of hugging.
The corner of Qin Feng's mouth twitched. He was really not used to the way the ancients expressed themselves.
Seeing that Mei Zhu was already settled, Lu Su was left next.
Lu Su's arrival was unexpected. Liu Bei and Qin Feng had not made any preparations beforehand.
Qin Feng faintly glanced at Lu Su and discovered that this guy was smiling and occasionally taking a sip of wine.
Towards the touching scene of Liu Bei and Mi Zhu paying respects to their lord, this fellow seemed to be very calm from the beginning to the end.
Qin Feng sighed lightly. Lu Su was a person who used his brain, and he was certain that his goal was different from Mei Zhu's.
Even though Mei Zhu probably did not think of joining Liu Bei's camp this time, he did not think of joining Liu Bei's camp.
However, with the refined salt business, as long as Mi Zhu agreed to cooperate, it would be considered as stepping on Liu Bei's boat.
He had already used one leg, so was it difficult to use the other leg?
With a little push, Mi Zhu basically had no way to escape.
As for Lu Su, what did he want? Or rather, what was his purpose for coming to Nan River this time?
Qin Feng didn't know about this.
The banquet was almost coming to an end.
Liu Bei knew that he had no way to persuade Lu Su, so he gave Qin Feng a meaningful glance.
The meaning was clear. I've done what you asked me to do. It's your turn to do the rest.
As for Lu Su, the evaluation of him in history was that he was a far-sighted strategist.
Lu Su didn't have the military strategies of Guo Jia and Xun You.
Most of the time, he was like Xun Yu, whom Cao Cao called a subordinate.
He was very pragmatic and low-key. Lu Su was described in the same way that Xun Yu was described.
A king's assistant!
This was something that even the extremely intelligent Zhou Yu respected Lu Su greatly.
Before Zhou Yu died, he entrusted Sun Quan with the task. Lu Su's wisdom is not inferior to mine and can be appointed as the Grand Governor.
It was also Lu Su who strongly advocated the Sun Liu alliance that had caused the eternal song of burning Red Cliff.
Such a person with great wisdom could not be made loyal just by calling him Imperial Uncle Liu.
If Qin Feng remembered correctly, Yuan Shu should have invited Lu Su to be an official at this time, but he was rejected.
This guy had been quietly watching the clouds rise and fall until the year 198, when he was invited by Zhou Yu to Dongwu to become an official. From then on, he made a name for himself.
But now, since he had actually come, then he shouldn't leave.
In order to create a good environment for Qin Feng to fool people, Liu Bei tactfully brought everyone away, saying that he wanted to bring Mei Zhu to watch Zhao Yun and Guan Yu train.
Only Qin Feng and Lu Su were left in the government office.
The two of them also changed from wine glasses to teacups.
After Qin Feng personally brewed a cup of tea for Lu Su, he said with a smile: "Come, Zijing, try the spring tea I made myself.”
In the teacup, green tea leaves floated on the surface of the water, and a faint tea fragrance spread out.
Lu Su picked up the cup and took a look. He was surprised to find that the tea leaves were all big leaves, not the usual tea foam.
Qin Feng smiled and picked up the teacup to his mouth. He gently blew on the leaves and then took a sip.
Seeing this, Lu Su followed suit and took a sip.
In an instant, the unique fragrance of the tea leaves filled his lips and teeth.
"Wenxuan, this is the first time I've eaten tea in this way. I have to say, the taste is not bad.”
Lu Su said with a smile.
"Hehe, this is just a small trick."
Qin Feng gently put down his cup and said seriously,""Zijing, I saw that you were a little absent-minded just now. I wonder if I have the honor to hear your thoughts.”
When talking to a smart person, he would avoid using tricks.
If he was comfortable, others would not feel uncomfortable.
Lu Su smiled, lifted the teacup in front of him, and downed it in one gulp.
"Since Mr. Qin is a straightforward person, I'll get straight to the point. I have a few questions that I hope Mr. Qin can answer for Zijing.”
"Please speak." Qin Feng smiled faintly.”
"The current situation of Nanjiang County is Liu Yan in the south and Su Gu in the west. With your current military strength, I wonder how you will survive in this crevice.
Don't tell me that you've submitted a petition to the Imperial Court requesting for the appointment of Hanzhong Prefecture's prefect. You and I both know that things aren't that simple.
Even if the Imperial Court really agreed to Imperial Uncle Liu's request, Su Gu probably wouldn't give in easily, regardless of whether Liu Yan agreed or not.”
Lu Su smiled as he looked at Qin Feng and slowly said.
"Ahem…"
Qin Feng coughed lightly and stopped drinking his tea.
He did not expect the other party to be so straightforward, directly exposing the lie that Liu Bei had told Mi Zhu.
Of course, at this point, Qin Feng could only try his best to justify himself.
He was prepared for this.
"Zijing, I won't hide this from you. I already know through secret channels that Liu Yan will use troops in Hanzhong in the second half of this year. This is also the reason why I suggested that Duke Xuande come to Nanjiang.
He, Liu Yan, wanted to march west into Hanzhong, so he needed someone to be his pawn. The best candidate for this pawn was the Duke of Xuande.
The number of soldiers that Duke Xuande had was neither too many nor too few, which was just right for Liu Yan.
Liu Yan would not be at ease if there was more of him, and if there were less, they would lose the qualifications to join forces to send out troops. If we can take down Su Gu in one fell swoop, do you think it will be a problem for the Duke of Liu Bei to apply for the position of Hanzhong Prefecture Governor?
At that time, Liu Yan probably wouldn't say anything, right?”
Qin Feng faintly revealed this secret that was not considered a secret.
