Lu Su has always been a cautious and calm person, otherwise he would not have been young as Sun Quan's special envoy, often traveling between Jin and Jiangdong, doing some important work for Sun Jian and Zhao Xing to eliminate misunderstandings and enhance mutual trust.

After thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate to tell Sun Jian about Zhuge Fang's astonishing discovery that Zhuge Fang was suspected to be Zhao Zhenbang. He was not worried that Sun Jian would be detrimental to Zhao Zhenbang after he knew Zhao Zhenbang's identity. On the contrary, judging from Sun Jian's words and deeds when he saw Zhao Zhenbang today, he clearly admired this young man. If he learned that Zhuge Fan was his future son-in-law, he would be so happy that he would be so happy.

Lu Su felt that since Zhao Zhenbang had tried his best to lurk in Shouchun, and now he seemed to be deeply trusted and respected by Zhuge Jin, the matter he was planning must be very important. If he rashly exposes his identity, it will probably cause a series of chain reactions. Since the state of Jin was not targeting Jiangdong but Yuan Shu, it would not be easy to destroy other people's good things, otherwise it would be a big misunderstanding.

Jiangdong and Jin are now in a honeymoon period, and Lu Su himself has a much clearer understanding of Zhao Xing's ability than the others in Jiangdong. Although the Sun family and his son are also heroes who dominate the country, if they fight with Zhao Xing and his inhumane generals in the future, they will be as miserable as Yuan Shao. So what Lu Su can do is to try to maintain the relationship between Sun Jian and Zhao Xing, repair the damage caused by the interference of external forces, and avoid the blooming Jiangdong area eventually falling into endless war due to the competition for hegemony of the clans.

Lu Su's unpreparedness to expose Zhao Zhenbang's identity does not mean that he will sit and watch this brave little guy come and go casually and make trouble. If this matter is spread in the future, there will be no glory on their Jiangdong talents. Therefore, Lu Su is preparing to go to the inn to meet the butler for a while after the meeting is over to see what Zhao Zhenbang, who pretends to be Zhuge Fang, wants to do.

Shortly after Zhuge Fang left, Sun Jian called everyone to discuss the matter. He told everyone the words of the butler just reposted Zhuge Jin, and then said: "Now it seems that the news that Shang Xiang sent back from Shouchun is true. Yuan Shu was indeed short-sighted and wanted to force the court to be king. Everyone thinks how to answer this matter is the most appropriate?"

Zhang Zhao said: "I heard from people that Zhao Guochang once said to someone more than ten years ago, 'Storing grain and becoming king' when he asked someone more than ten years ago. Now, it is still thought-provoking and is enough to learn from it!" Zhang Zhao did not explicitly say that he still supported Yuan Shu, but he tactfully reminded Sun Jian that burying his head to stabilize and manage his current territory is the right way, and it is better not to compete for those things that are just famous.

Zhou Yu followed Zhang Zhao and said, "Even if Yuan Shu was awarded the title of King of Huainan, there would be no benefit except for the crown on his head. This time, he was always narrow-minded and had a rat-eyed look. He was eager to make the court a king this time, but he just wanted to fight against King Pingxi. Although the court granted Zhao Guochang the title of King Pingxi, he had just obtained a land that was originally out of the control of the Han Dynasty. It was acceptable to scholars and people in the world. If Jiangdong supported Yuan Shu to be the title of king this time, it would be like declaring to the world that Sun also had the intention to be the title of king, but he was afraid that it would cause endless trouble in the future."

Sun Jian nodded and said, "Mr. Zibu and Gongjin said so much. I never thought of splitting the territory and breaking away from the Han Dynasty. It was just because the world was in chaos and in order to protect the peace, the Sun family was fortunately supported by everyone. They were based in Jiangdong and managed for ten years. Now they have this safe place."

"The King of Pingxi Zhao Guochang is now so powerful. Although he has repeatedly set the court in confusion, he is also known as a hero. The northern states, which were originally deeply invaded by foreign tribes, are now more prosperous and stable than the Central Plains under their governance. If it were someone else, the tiger-bearing man with a height of 500,000 fierceness would definitely rush into Luoyang to capture the emperor and abolish the Han Dynasty to establish himself. However, Zhao Guochang has not crossed the Yellow River until now, and has always been clearing out all the princes who have ambitions towards the Han Dynasty. This shows that he is very resistant to the practice of splitting the Han Dynasty. Once Yuan Shu becomes king, he will probably not have a good end."

When Sun Jian said these words, his expression was dull, and he had no dissatisfaction or jealous expression. He seemed to have long forgotten the fact that he had responded to the call of the court and sent troops to assist the court's army in besieging Bingzhou.

Sun Ce endured for a long time, and finally couldn't help but say something: "My father, now we have close ties with Jin, so we can naturally live in Jiangdong. If one day King Pingxi has obtained all the Central Plains and has nominally controlled the dragon veins of Jiuzhou, how should we deal with it?"

Sun Jian seemed to have expected someone to ask this sensitive question, so he slowly said, "Don't be in a hurry. Let's just watch how Zhao Guochang treats the Liu family in the Han Dynasty. If he can treat the royal family well, he can treat Jiangdong well. Why should we make trouble for ourselves? If he is desperate and use any means to fight for the supreme position that can command the world, we must also stand up and compete with him!"

Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Lu Su stepped forward and said, "Lord, I think Zhuge Jin is so sick that he is strange. He wants to go and find out the truth after the discussion is over, so as to find some excuses for the future reply to Yuan Shu."

Sun Jian agreed to Lu Su's request, and then said with some concern: "It was a coincidence that Bo Fu left Wu County before his feet, and Yuan Shu's envoy came to Jiangdong. Even if we want to reject Yuan Shu's request, we must wait until Bo Fu returns smoothly. Otherwise, if Bo Fu discovered his whereabouts in Shouchun, we would be in a dilemma."

After the meeting was completed, everyone dispersed, and Lu Su asked someone to prepare some nutritious and nourishing food, and came to the inn.

Zhao Zhenbang, who was talking in a low voice to Zhuge Jin in the room, suddenly heard a small official in the inn outside the door: "Zhuge butler Zhuge, Mr. Zijing from the Sunzhou Palace, has come, saying that he is here to visit Mr. Zhuge Ziyu on behalf of the Sunzhou Palace!"

"Damn, didn't I tell Sun Jian that I would send someone in a few days? He actually sent Lu Su over so quickly. It seems that he is still worried about your condition of the eldest son!" Zhao Zhenbang whispered to Zhuge Jin with a frown.

"You go out quickly to resist me for a while, and then I said I was so furious that I fell asleep again and could not see anyone. But if there were any tedious things, you can just accept it!" Zhuge Jin hurriedly said this, and hurriedly covered his head with a quilt.

Zhao Zhenbang stood up and looked back at Zhuge Jin who was already covered in the quilt, sighing secretly, thinking about Zhuge Jin, a talented person who had to pretend to be sick to protect himself because he met a slutty like Yuan Shu. I really don’t know if it was his sorrow or Yuan Shu’s sorrow.
