Liu Ye did not hide it from Li Dian. He generously informed Li Dian of his convincing Lu Kang.

"Mancheng, this is not difficult. Lu Fujun is a famous minister in our dynasty and is a wise man. Ye just told him the truth that his lips were dead and his teeth were cold, and he would like to mention it a little."

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold?" Li Dian said silently: "Who and who are the lips and teeth of each other?"

Liu Ye gently shook the whip in his hand and said while beating the horse: "Sun Jian's troops entered Wujun, with the intention of Yangzhou. If there was no accident, he would definitely have the ambition to pacify Jiangdong. Now Yuan Shu's troops have already captured Jiujiang County, Chen Wen has escaped, and the Huai land has been controlled by Yuan Shu. Yuan and Sun were one in the east of Lujiang and the other in the north of Lujiang. They were like a pair of sharp tiger claws, clamping up and down to trap Lujiang tightly between them. How could Lufu Jun be better than hanging his head with a sharp sword? If Liu Zhengli could escape the disaster and enter Jingzhou, Jingzhou and Yuan Shu and Sun Jian will attack for many years in the future, and they will have no time to look around. If Liu Zhengli died in Wujun, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian lost their opponents and pulled out their hands, how could Lujiang not be targeted by them?"

Liu Ye's words are indeed very reasonable.

From this perspective, Liu Yao was able to distract Yuan Shu and Sun Jian from some extent, and it really meant that he had lost his lips and had a cold teeth.

Once Liu Yao escaped, Liu Qi would support him as the governor of Yangzhou in the future. The prefectures and counties occupied by Yuan Shu and Sun Jian in Yangzhou were all unreasonable.

In other words, if Liu Yao does not die by then, it will be like a thorn in his throat for Sun and Yuan...

Lu Kang is old and is already 65 years old. How many years can he live?

An old man in Lujiang doesn't ask for anything else, but just wants to spend a few days resting.

Li Dian listened to Liu Ye's explanation and was silent.

Liu Ye's remarks were indeed extremely clever. Not only did he point out the current situation for Lu Kang, but he also planned a smooth road for him. However, in Li Dian's ears, he was so awkward to hear this.

I originally thought that taking Liu Yao out of Wu County to welcome Jingzhou was a masterpiece, but now I listened to Liu Ye's brief analysis, but it was like the people of Jingzhou were seeking hardships?

Some of these things really need to be viewed from multiple perspectives.

As Boyu said, everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

...

On the other hand, Liu Qi handed over An County and Shatoubao to Huang Zu, and he led the elite troops from the Nanman Camp to the south and headed straight to the territory of Lujiang County.

The land of Runan borders the Lujiang border. Liu Qi's troops headed south and entered Lujiang within a few days.

At the same time, Lu Kang came to Shiting to meet Liu Qi in person under the guidance of Li Dian, Liu Ye and others.

Lu Kang is too old and walks a little trembling. He is still shaking with the help of others. Judging from his appearance, his body seems to be a bit stubborn, and his every move shows his old look.

At this age, Xu Lao is not in good health. He can actually come to Shiting to meet Liu Qi in person, which is very considerate of Liu Qi.

Liu Qi said gratefully: "Thank you, Lu Mansion Lord, came here in person, Qi was not very frightened. It was supposed to be Liu Qi who visited Shucheng in person."

Lu Kang sighed and said, "It's okay, it's better to be serious... After all, it's related to Liu Zhengli's life and death. I have to worry about it. Although I have never met him, I am a Han minister after all, and each of them is a guardian of the Han Dynasty. How can I watch his death at Yuan and Sun?"

This is beautiful, but in fact it is just a step to find a way.

After all, Liu Ye’s previous advice was deeply engraved in Lu Kang’s heart, and what the old man thought about at this moment was nothing more than the disaster moving eastward.

As long as Liu Yao can be led to Jingzhou, Lujiang may be safe within a few years.

After everyone sat down at the Shiting tent, Liu Qi said to Lu Kang confidently: "With Duke Lu borrowing the road, we will definitely save Duke Zhengli this time. I thought Duke Lu would not lend me a way to protect the people of Lujiang, but I never thought that Duke Lu was so righteous, and it was indeed very different from ordinary people... Qi felt that Duke Lu was a human being. If he had any trouble in the future, he would ask Duke Lu to send someone to give me instructions, and Liu Qi would follow."

Lu Kang stared at Liu Qi seriously and sighed: "The main reason is that the people sent by Liu Fujun are appropriate. Today, there are not many people who can motivate me. Who would have thought that you could actually move Liu Ziyang? It's really a hero. At this age, I saw you handsome young people rising up one after another. I felt very moved in my heart, alas! The great years are really gone forever."

After saying that, the old man shook his head helplessly, and then even made him feel coughed.

Liu Qi hurriedly changed the topic: "With Duke Lu's help, he will welcome the Duke to Jingzhou next... In Danyang County, Wu Jing and Zhou Xin were in full swing, while most of the soldiers of Jiujiang County entered Runan, afraid of being unable to stop me. It was really a matter of God's will."

After saying that, Liu Qi turned to look at Taishi Ci and said, "Ziyi, I ask Zhang Ren to send you some elite troops. You can quickly pass Danyang and go to Wujun. Please ask Zhengligong to break through the siege and go to Lujiang County immediately. I will lead my troops to welcome him."

Seeing that Liu Yao was finally welcomed to Jingzhou, Taishici's face showed a long-lost look of joy.

"Oh! Don't worry, the last official will definitely live up to his entrustedness." Taishi Ci responded loudly.

Lu Kang looked at Taishi Ci with a complicated expression and said slowly: "Liu Fujun, things are probably not as simple as you think."

"Why did Mr. Lu say this? When Mr. Lu opens the checkpoint and allows us to meet Mr. Zhengli in Lujiang. There will be no obstacles from Wujun to the middle. As long as the operation is done properly, it is not difficult to welcome Mr. Zhengli."

Lu Kang said lightly: "If it were ten days ago, when the Duke fought against Chen Lan and others in Runan, this was true. But the overall situation of Danyang County has been settled. Zhou Xin was defeated and fled alone. Wu Jing had occupied Wanling County. At present, no one in Danyang territory was restrained. If Liu Zhengli wanted to leave Danyang County to Lujiang, he would definitely rob and kill Wu Jing and others."

Liu Qi frowned: "Wu Jing and Zhou Xin have been invincible in Danyang County for a while, and they checked and balanced each other. How could Zhou Xin be suddenly defeated by Wu Jing?"

Lu Kang said: "Tao Qian from Xuzhou personally led his troops to Danyang County and attacked Zhou Xin with Wu Jing. Zhou Xin was not strong enough and was defeated in one battle, and was defeated by Tao Qian."

"Tao Qian?!" Liu Qi's brows frowned deeply, and his confidence just now disappeared in an instant.

Liu Qi naturally knew that Tao Qian was Yuan Shu's ally, but what he never expected was that Tao Qian would actually take the initiative to send troops to help Yuan Shu.

For Tao Qian, isn’t it the best choice to watch success or failure in Xuzhou? Why did he send troops?

Tao Qian, on a certain level, is an all-round player who has his own strengths in both military and political affairs, and is not particularly easy to deal with...

He is a famous scholar of the world, and he is ten years older than Liu Biao in his age. He is almost sixty years old now.

It is said that Tao Qian was unrestrained when he was young, and was born with a child. Later, he was summoned by the famous Gan family as a son-in-law. He entered the officialdom for decades, went to the grassroots, served as a supervisor, and served in the center. He also followed Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen and others as the chief lieutenant to quell the rebellion. He can be said to be both literary and military, and he is a famous bureaucrat with rich resumes.

Liu Biao also met Tao Qian when he was in Luoyang, so he also told Liu Qi some stories about this old man.

Through Liu Biao's narrative, Liu Qi could feel that Tao Qian was a straightforward and hard-working person with a very stubborn temper.

He is said to be stubborn because Tao Qian has a characteristic of his behavior, which is that he is extremely resistant and is specialized in being unable to get along with his boss.

When Tao Qian was the magistrate of Shu County when he was young, he never bought the accounts of the county magistrate Zhang Pan. He had repeatedly told the county magistrate Zhang Pan to come to Taiwan in public.

Later, he followed the general Zhang Wen of the chariot and cavalry to attack Bian Zhang, who was in the Western Qiang. When Han Sui rebelled, he often expressed disdain for Zhang Wen in public. After returning to the court, he even made Zhang Wen not come to Taiwan in public at a banquet for officials, which made Zhang Wen almost dismiss him from the border.

At that time, Tao Qian was like a mad dog, and he would dare to take a bite if he didn't like him.

If such a person is enemies of him, it is not a good thing for Liu Qi.

Seeing that Liu Qi was silent, Lu Kang said next to him: "Tao Qian came to Danyang County this time and brought ten thousand Danyang elite soldiers. I think Liu Fujun should have heard that the Danyang soldiers are the best in the world. After defeating Zhou Xin in the previous battle, Tao Qian relied on this army. Although the Jingzhou soldiers of the Fujun were good at fighting, they were afraid they might not be the opponent of the Danyang soldiers."

Dian Wei stood behind Liu Qi and said disdainfully: "What can the Danyang soldiers do? The soldiers of the Nanbar Camp in Jingchu are also strong troops in the south. If they fight head-on, they may not lose to the Danyang soldiers!"

"Don't be rude." Liu Qi said and blamed Dian Wei: "Mr. Lu is kind, how dare you speak wildly in front of everyone?"

Dian Wei snorted softly, as if he was a little dissatisfied, but he still wanted Lu Kang to apologize.

Liu Qi said to Lu Kang: "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for reminding me... If it is as Mr. Lu said, then I can't stay in Lujiang for a long time. Liu should immediately lead his troops to Danyang County... In any case, he should also accept Mr. Zhengli to arrive in Lujiang safely and not let him be harmed."

Lu Kang stood up tremblingly and said, "Since Liu Fujun is going to go in person, I will supply food and grass to the Fujun in the rear. There are also some armor and weapons in Shucheng Arsenal. I can draw one from it to the Fujun, which is a bit of sincerity. Please do not refuse."

Since Lu Kang was willing to generously donate money to give Liu Qi food and weapons, it would be a good thing for Liu Qi.

After all, when they fought with Yuan Shujun in the previous period, the weapons and armor were also damaged. Now that there are replacements, it is naturally better.

Liu Qi did not hesitate. After a hurry to meet Lu Kang, he immediately urged his troops to go east and headed straight for Danyang County.
