After hearing Lu Su’s words, Zhou Yu felt a little shocked, and his face suddenly changed. He knew that Lu Su would definitely return to Jiangling City when he went to Liu Bei to explain to Kong Ming this time.

Although Zhou Yu used a trick to win Cao Ren to fight, he still retreated in front of the army. Zhuge Liang captured Jiangling in backwards. The two armies did not meet, and Kong Ming did not violate the agreement between the two sides at Jiangyoukou that day.

But Zhuge Liang's occupation of other counties and towns in Jiangling County seemed a bit reasonable, so he could make a good argument!

Because when the Sun and Liu alliance was concluded, the two families made it clear in the alliance that the city they captured belonged to. These counties and towns were all captured by the Jiangdong Army, so they naturally belonged to Jiangdong, and Kong Ming could not argue!

So, after Zhou Yu and Lu Su said "this is the case...", Lu Su made up his words and led dozens of elite guards to Jiangling and went to the city to ask the guards to open the city gate.

Cao Ren had retreated to Xiangyang, and Zhuge Liang used the military talismans and warrants left by Cao Cao to earn the city. After Chen Jiao took back the military talismans and warrants, he abandoned the city and left. Liu Bei's army obtained Jiangling City without any blood. Otherwise, it would be impossible to break through the city before Zhou Yu came to Jiangling.

After all, he robbed Zhou Yu's fruit of victory. Zhuge Liang was also afraid that Zhou Yu would be furious and then raid Jiangling. He ordered Zhao Yun to temporarily close the city gate. After the school guarding the city gate saw Lu Su, he would report to Zhao Yun.

When Zhao Yun learned that Lu Su was visiting, he did not open the city gate to welcome Lu Su into the city. Instead, he opened the city gate himself and met Lu Su outside the city, asking about the reason.

Lu Su knew that Zhao Yun went out of the city to talk to Jiangdongjun because he distrustd him. He felt a little displeased. He had no good expression on Zhao Yun and asked without hesitation:

"I want to see Liu Xuande or Kong Ming talking, he can be in Jiangling!" The implication is that you, Zhao Yun, are not qualified to talk to me.

Zhao Yun naturally heard what Lu Su meant, but he calmed down and said to Lu Su politely: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Zijing! My lord, Uncle Liu and Military Advisor Zhuge, are not in Jiangling City, and have already returned to Jiangxia City last night."

When Lu Su heard the words of Zhao Yun, he thought he would not lie, nor did he go to Jiangling City to rest, and led the guards to Jiangxia.

As he approached Jiangxia City, Lu Su saw the flags of Jiangxia Water Village, and the army was very strong. The defenders at the city were all trembling. Lu Su secretly cheered:

"What a Kong Ming, he's really a very human!"

The guards of Lu Su were well-known at the city gate. The soldiers guarding the gate reported to the city and said that Lu Zijing was here to meet.

Kong Ming received the report and ordered the city gate to open and personally connect Lu Su into the yamen at the city gate.

After the two of them finished the ceremony, they sat down with the guest and the host. After the little boy served tea, Lu Su remained silent. After Liu Bei arrived, Lu Su spoke:

"My lord Sun Quan and the Grand Governor Zhou Yu repeatedly told me to pay homage to the emperor: Last winter, Cao Cao led a million people, named Nanzheng, and actually came to take over Jingzhou offered by Liu Cong, and planned to plot against Liu Huangxuan. Fortunately, I sent troops to help from Jiangdong, so I killed Cao soldiers and rescued Liu Huangxuan. Logically speaking, all the nine counties of Jingzhou were all in Jiangdong. But my lord did not do much and agreed to compete fairly with the emperor. Jiangdong formed a large army and watched Liu Huangxuan lead his army to pacify the four counties of Jingnan. Gongjin only took Jiangling and fought wits and courage with Cao Ren. When he defeated Cao Ren with difficulty, he was about to take Jiangling. However, Liu Huangxuan used tricks to seize Jiangling City, causing Jiangdong to spend money, grain, and horses. The emperor's uncle could benefit from it, so it would be unreasonable."

Kong Ming replied: "Zijing is a wise man, why did he say this? What is Cao Cao's intention in the south expedition? Everyone knows in his heart! The Sun and Liu alliances are all for self-protection, and there is no saying that anyone can save anyone! After repelling Cao Cao, Sun Zhongmou saved the land of the six counties in Jiangdong. This is the original owner, and there is no need to give it to my master. The nine counties of Jingxiang are not the land of Eastern Wu, but the foundation of Liu Jingsheng. My lord, the uncle of Liu Huang, is the younger brother of Jingsheng. Although Jingsheng was dead, his son Liu Qi was still there; my lord was the uncle and nephew, even if he took Jingzhou all, what's wrong?"

Lu Su was silent because he had no other reason to say, so he had to say what Zhou Yu taught him:

"Even if the Jiangling City was captured by Emperor Liu when Gongjin retreated, the seven counties including Yiling, Dangyang, Chanling were not acquired by Uncle Liu. It was captured by Governor Zhou led the Jiangdong army for several months. You must return the city to Jiangdong, right?"

After saying this, Lu Su's face turned a little red because his words were a bit erratic!

In fact, at that time, the so-called "siege of cities and territory" was only counted as the county level, which means that there were county soldiers stationed.

As for Jiangling County, as long as Jiangling City, the capital of Jiangling County, is captured, it means that the territory of Jiangling County has been occupied.

In those county-level towns, except for the strategic locations, there are generally no city defenses. Only constables and cavalry to capture thieves and maintain public order, and there is no problem of conquering.

After all, Kong Ming used some methods that he could not be put on the table, and he was afraid that Jiangdong would always use this as a matter of this.

When Zhuge Liang saw Lu Su making such a ridiculous request, his eyes turned around and thought about it. He actually recognized Lu Su's words and answered apologetically:

"Zi Jing's words are true, we have no choice but to discuss them."

Lu Su didn't expect Liu Bei to really return those counties, and it was not of great value. He just wanted to ask for an explanation and let him explain it to Zhou Yu and Sun Quan when he went back. Since he achieved his goal, both parties were satisfied. Kong Ming held a banquet and left with all the guests and guests!

After the banquet, Lu Su bid farewell to Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang and left the city. He returned to the Jiangdong Military Camp overnight and reported in detail to Zhou Yu about the results of his negotiations with Liu Bei.

When Kong Ming agreed to return those counties and towns, Lu Su was also a little confused and asked Zhou Yu:

"Gongjin, I am striving to return to Jiangling City by reason. Kong Ming used the Jiangyoukou agreement as an excuse to refuse to return it. It is obviously unreasonable for me to return those county towns. Kong Ming agreed happily, what is the reason?"

Zhou Yu sighed and said:

"Zijing was confused by Zhuge Liang. This was a way to avoid the important and ignore the right to take advantage of Jiangling City, and to confirm that Liu Bei owned Jiangling County. As for the counties under Jiangling County, even if Kong Ming really returned them to you, you not only have to send officials to govern the government, but also have to send garrison troops to guard the government. The taxes you received have to be paid to Jiangling County, which is equivalent to managing the local area for Liu Bei and paying taxes for you!"

When Zhou Yu said this, Lu Su had no reason that he didn't understand yet. His face was a little embarrassed!

It was not Lu Su's stupidity, because at that time he just wanted to ask Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang for an explanation, and did not think deeply about these issues.

Lu Su did not consider these things, which did not mean that he could not have imagined that in order to understand these troubles, he fell into deep thought.
