As news spread to Jingzhou that Lu Su, the governor of the Sun clan stationed in Lukou in the east of the Yangtze River and leading the western front, was seriously ill.

All civil and military officials in Jingzhou from top to bottom responded in different ways.

The generals Guan Yu and Pang Tong both came to the same conclusion.

I am afraid that the pattern of the Sun and Liu alliance will change in the future.

After the initial shock of receiving the information, Pang Tong quickly asked Guan Yu to see him and suggested that he send an envoy to Lukou immediately.

On the one hand, it was to show the alliance between the two families and to go to express condolences.

On the other hand, I also took the opportunity to find out what Lu Su's condition was like.

This policy was also approved by Guan Yu.

He immediately sent Ma Liang as an envoy to Lukou to visit.

…

As winter has arrived.

Day after day, the Yangtze River, Xiang River and other major tributaries gradually formed ice as snowflakes fell.

The temperature is also dropping sharply.

Lukou is a shoal formed over time by the continuous erosion of rainwater by the land tributaries of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River on the east and west sides of Chibi and Wulin and the Xiangshui River in the north of Changsha County.

The locals call this "Lukou."

After Lu Su advocated the decision of the Sun-Liu alliance to fight against Cao, in order to relieve the pressure of Cao's army on the western front facing Jingbei alone, he proposed that Sun Quan lend Liu Bei the surrounding land headed by Jiangling on the north bank of the river.

In order to compensate for Jiangdong's borrowing of Jiangling, Liu Bei's side, which occupied the four counties in Jingnan at that time, also gave away some land in the northern part of Changsha County.

Jiangdong was able to take advantage of the situation.

With this, Hanchang County was established, and Lu Su was appointed as the prefect of Hanchang.

The eastward movement of Jiangdong's forces also announced that the Sun and Liu families had completed a strategic change of defense.

Liu Bei's side, who has occupied Nanjun, will now have the important task of resisting the southward attack of the Cao family in northern Jingbei.

Lu Su, who was in charge of the defense on the western front, also selected Lukou as the location for the garrison troops that had moved eastward after the survey.

Lukou is located in the shoal of the Lushui tributary. Jiangdong built military camps here. It is connected to the Xiangshui River to the south and the Yangtze River to the north. It is also in close contact with the Jingzhou Army to the west.

It is also an important place to prevent downstream safety hazards.

The Lukou camp was built here, which also gave Lu Su full authority to handle the affairs of Jingzhou to the west.

"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."

In the military tent, I saw a sturdy middle-aged man wearing plain clothes and a thick cotton jacket. His figure was getting thinner and thinner, and his face no longer had the same look as before, and he looked increasingly frail.

"Captain, you are so sick, you should rest first. It is important to take care of yourself!"

The frail middle-aged man who lives in Fuyu and is working hard to write a letter approving military affairs is Lu Zijing, the prefect of Hanchang who is currently stationed in Lukou and the governor of the Western Front.

Even though he was coughing continuously at this time, and sometimes even when he coughed violently, his whole face was extremely red, but even so, he still persisted in handling the military affairs that had accumulated in recent days.

The generals serving on the left and right showed worries and often gave warnings.

But Lu Su didn't take it seriously. He just continued to write and write, and responded softly, "I know best what is going on with my body."

"Now I am extremely ill. Even if Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor, is still alive, there may be no cure for me!"

After saying these words, Lu Su suddenly raised his head the next second, looking at the layers of white snowflakes outside the tent, and the bursts of cold air filling the air. His weak face suddenly revealed a trace of determination.

, solemnly said:

"I'm afraid now is the last day for me to be loyal to Wu Hou."

"Let me, this broken body, finally do my best for the Lord!"

The seemingly muttering to himself made the general beside him extremely moved. The next second he seemed to have a few tears flashing in his eyes, "Captain!"

"You don't have to be sad."

Seeing this, Lu Su gently put down his pen, raised his head and stared at the general serving beside him, still showing his usual extremely kind face, and said with a smile:

"Everyone is destined to die. This is a destiny destined by God. No one can change it!"

"I can serve Wu Hou and contribute to the Sun family's foundation in this life. I will have no regrets in this life!"

"The only regret is that I may not be able to see the day when the Sun-Liu alliance that I personally created will work together to destroy Cao."

It is said that when a person is about to die, his words are also good.

Now Lu Su's mind is unconsciously filled with many past events.

He kept thinking about it.

The more I think about it, the more I feel regretful!

"If I pass away, can we continue to join forces with Liu to fight against Cao?"

This is undoubtedly what Lu Su is most worried about at the moment.

The more he thought about it, the greater the sadness in his heart became.

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Then he seemed to be out of breath and coughed violently.

The next second, blood was coughed out of his mouth.

"ah?"

The general next to him was immediately worried when he saw this. He quickly went to support Lu Su's body and said with slight concern, "Captain, you..."

"It's better to go back to the inner room to rest and recuperate, right?"

"You work too hard!"

However, Lu Su did not accept it, but quickly wiped the blood around his mouth with the handkerchief next to him, and then forced himself to continue writing and approving military affairs.

Seeing that the warning was ineffective, the general on the side looked a little helpless, so he stood aside quietly and called the doctor immediately if something went wrong.

Since becoming seriously ill,

For the next period of time, Lu Su worked in bed, working overtime all day long to handle official duties.

Naturally, my already weak body became increasingly overwhelmed.

The condition is gradually getting worse.

On this day,

Suddenly, a scout from the camp came to report that an envoy from Jiangling had come to visit.

After Lu Su heard this, he understood Guan Yu's intention in an instant.

Then he waved his hand to the people on his left and right to quickly dress him up, and he wanted to go out to meet the guests in person.

Although the subordinates saw that their governor's condition was getting worse, they did not dare to refute his wishes and had no choice but to bring the clothes and dress them neatly according to his decision.

After a while,

Ma Liang, the envoy of the Jingzhou Army, met with the governor Lu Su in the tent.

"Jingzhou is engaged in the administration of Ma Ji and often encounters Zijing."

He first bowed with his hands in a bow as a sign of etiquette.

Seeing this, Lu Su forced himself to hold on to his discomfort and returned the gesture.

Then the people on the left and right were arranged to watch.

After the two of them were seated one after another, the guests and hosts were seated.

Lu Su forced himself to sit up straight and acted like a normal person. He didn't seem to be feeling any discomfort at all. He was the first to ask:

[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp]

"Ji Chang, I wonder why you came to Lukou this time?"

As soon as this statement came out, Lu Su was the first to test it.
