Chapter 501

"Lu Zijing?" Liu Ye looked at the envoy in front of him with interest, and there was a sense of appreciation in his eyes. Lu Su is one of the four governors of Soochow Wu and Zhou Yu's successor. The "couch policy" proposed by Soochow can be called Soochow's version of Longzhong's right, and he is a rare talent.

When Lu Su heard Liu Ye blurt out his name, he was a little surprised and said: "I didn't expect that Su's name would also be heard by the general. I am really flattered."

Liu Ye laughed loudly: "Zi Jing is a senior scholar in Yangzhou, he is a talent for governing the country, how could this general not know it?"

Lu Su cupped his hands slightly: "The general is overwhelmed."

"Zi Jing." Liu Ye said bluntly: "There is still a lack of a long history in the mansion of a certain general. I don't know how Zi Jing will be?"

Liu Ye stretched out his olive branch, Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and thought to themselves: I don't know who this Lu Su is so favored by the general?

Perhaps Liu Ye could see the doubts in Guo Jia's heart, and said softly, "Lu Su is from Linhuai County. He is generous and has a good reputation for helping others with all his wealth."

Lu Su said gratefully: "Thank you for your appreciation, General. However, Lu has already joined Sun Dangkou's tent. If he goes to the general, he will inevitably become a disloyal person. I think the general is unwilling to let the disloyal and unjust people serve you." Under the account?"

What a Lu Su! Liu Ye's eyes showed appreciation, and he cleverly rejected his solicitation with a few words, and at the same time expressed respect for himself, which is really rare. The more Lu Su was like this, the more Liu Ye wanted Lu Su.

"Zijing came to Runan on behalf of General Sun this time. What's the matter?" Liu Ye introduced the topic.

"I'm here to serve you!" Lu Su clapped his hands, and the entourage behind him immediately held up a brocade box. The Chinese and military officers in the hall looked at the brocade box curiously.

"General, what is contained in the brocade box is the head of the false emperor Yuan Shu, Prince Yuan Yao!" Lu Su said seriously.

At the same time, the brocade box was opened, revealing a head marinated in lime, which was still intact, it was Yuan Yao's head.

"Yuan Shu's thief, after the fourth generation and third lord, pretended to be a false emperor, he was Wang Mang's second, a rebellious minister and a traitor!" Lu Su said generously: "When my master Sun Dangkou learned that Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, he was furious and immediately sent troops to the north."

"Hehe, if someone's memory is correct, it seems that Sun Bofu was Yuan Shu's old general before, but now he is turning against his old benefactor." Jia Xu chuckled lightly.

"This statement is wrong!" Lu Su retorted: "It is true that our army has received Yuan Shu's kindness, but before that, Yuan Shu did not proclaim himself emperor, and secondly, the personal kindness is small, and the country's affairs are more important. My Lord learned from the painful experience, To resolutely attack the false emperor Yuan Shu without fearing the rumors of the world is to put the state first and then private individuals."

"Our army immediately sent troops to the north to attack Yuan Shu's general Liu Xun in Lujiang County. The purpose was to cooperate with the general's offensive and destroy Yuan Shu. When we attacked Lujiang, it happened that Yuan Shu's false prince Yuan Yao was here, so my lord will not Hesitating to behead him and send him to Runan is a clear statement of his loyalty to the imperial court."

"Hehe, Sun Dangkou is indeed a loyal minister." Liu Ye showed a secretive smile.

But at this moment, the guards outside the gate shouted: "Qingzhou Inspector Cao Cao's envoy, Cheng Yu begs to see you!"

Liu Ye frowned: "Come in."

"Shi Chengyu, Governor of Qingzhou, pay my respects to the General!"

The tall and thin Cheng Yu, who was nearly two meters tall, walked into the camp, glanced at Lu Su, and then at Liu Ye.

"What is Mr. Zhongde doing here?" Liu Ye asked coldly. The reason why the attitudes before and after are so different is not that Liu Ye admires Lu Su but despises Cheng Yu. The key is that Cao Cao really doesn't know what is good or bad, and he is not greedy enough to swallow an elephant. Liu Ye was dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and his attitude towards Cheng Yu was not much better.

"I'm here to show my merits." Cheng Yu cupped his hands and said, "The false emperor Yuan Shu disrespected the emperor, and heaven and man were all angry. My lord Cao Qingzhou is loyal to the Han Dynasty and is determined to destroy the false emperor Yuan Shu and serve the Han Dynasty. Therefore, He led an army out of Huainan, captured Shouchun and defeated Yuan Shu, and the Shu thief fled in a hurry, and now he coughed up blood and died."

Before Liu Ye could speak, Guo Jia sneered and said, "Mr. Zhongde, I have something to ask."

"Don't dare to be, dare to ask Your Excellency?" Cheng Yu cupped his hands and said.

"Hmph, Yingchuan Guo Fengxiao."

Hearing the answer, Cheng Yu's heart trembled: So this person is Guo Fengxiao whom Wen Ruoyi strongly recommended? But be careful.

"Laws of the Great Han! The governor and the commander of the county guard are not allowed to leave the state. Cao Qingzhou is the governor of Qingzhou, but he attacked Xuzhou and went to Huainan. Can such a minister be called a loyal minister?" Guo Jia said aggressively.

Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "This is an extraordinary move. Didn't Sun Jian, the former Changsha prefect, behead Zhang Zi when he left Changsha? My lord also acted helplessly."

Guo Jia sneered: "Sun Jian violated the law and should be severely punished. However, before the general took action, Sun Wentai died at the hands of Huang Zu. This is the punishment of God. Now Cao Qingzhou also wants to repeat the same mistakes as Sun Jian?"

Lu Su couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard the words. Although he had nothing to do with Sun Jian, the lord Sun Ce was Sun Jian's son after all. Cheng Yu's complexion darkened, thinking that Guo Fengxiao's words were really sharp.

But Liu Ye felt a little funny. Guo Jia was originally a courtier of Cao Cao, but now he made a mockery of Cheng Yu, which made people feel dumbfounded.

"Let's step down for the time being. The merits and demerits of Cao Qingzhou and Sun Dangkou will need to be discussed with the account before making a decision." Liu Ye decisively issued an order to expel the guests.

"In that case, I will take my leave first."

Lu Su and Cheng Yu bowed to salute, turned and exited the camp.

"Wen He, Feng Xiao, Zi Yang." Liu Ye asked rather embarrassed: "You see, how should Sun Ce and Cao Cao be rewarded and punished?"

The reason why it is said to be rewards and punishments rather than rewards is very simple. Both Cao Cao and Sun Ce defeated the false emperor Yuan Shu this time, and they really deserve rewards. However, both of them sent troops to seize territory and were ambitious, so of course they cannot be rewarded blindly.

"General." Liu Ye spoke first, "Cao Cao has already occupied the two prefectures of Qing and Xu, and his foundation is solid. He must not be granted the land of Huainan, otherwise his power will expand to some extent in the future."

"That's right." Jia Xu agreed, "In the world today, there are still two people who can be called the great general's rivals."

"Oh? Which two?" Liu Ye asked with interest.

"Firstly, Yuan Shao in Hebei is located in Jizhou and Youzhou. Jizhou is rich and rich in products. Although Youzhou is bitter and cold, it has many strong men and horses. Given time, Yuan Shao will definitely become the hero of Hebei."

"The second is Cao Cao, governor of Qingzhou. Cao Cao occupies Qingzhou and Xuzhou, and has 100,000 people under his command. He is a strong enemy of our army. We must not let these two become bigger." Jia Xu analyzed.
