Chapter 105 Ma Su's Crisis

When Liu Bei heard that Lu Bu had defeated Ruyang and retreated to Xuzhou, he had all the things he had made. If Ma Su releases this way, Ma Su would be more arrogant and would not be used by Liu Bei. Liu Bei wanted to kill Ma Su without doing anything, and he would be defeated.

Jiujiang, Li Zhe chatted with Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, and a war report came from outside. Li Zhe took the letter and opened it. He said with a smile: "Xu Shu defeated Lu Bu and Chen Gong in Ruyang. It seems that the battle situation in Yuzhou is over."

Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, how much defensive forces are needed in Yuzhou? Yuzhou is under this war, so as to appease the people and provide disaster relief food and supplies. We must be sent to Yuzhou quickly. Build city defense!"

Li Zhe nodded and said, "There is about 1.2 million people in Yuzhou. First, I will send less food and grass from Jingzhou. Only 500,000 harbors of food and grass will be given to Xu Shu in Yuzhou to provide disaster relief!"

When Lu Su heard this, what? He took out 500,000 dan of grain and said he would spend less money. Lu Su knew that Jingzhou was rich and powerful, but he didn't expect that he was so rich and powerful.

Li Zhe saw Lu Su's expression, and then said to Lu Su: "Zi Jing, what are you thinking?"

Lu Su said the truth: "Distribute 500,000 dan of grain and grass and even said that we should pay less. How much family do we have?"

Li Zhe laughed and said nothing. Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and said, "Zi Jing may not know that our lord's personality traits are not distressed as long as it is his own land. If others want to take something from his lord, it is harder than climbing to the sky."

After hearing this, Lu Su knelt in front of Li Zhe and said, "Please ask your lord to send food to Jiangdong. Jiangdong has been three months old. The people can't eat food and live a life of grassroots all day long. The situation of the war in Jiangdong is almost the same. Meng Huo is a man who has no plans and will definitely be defeated. Therefore, Jiangdong is already the lord. For the sake of the people of Jiangdong, let's give food and grass!"

These words made Li Zhe feel distressed. It was not because he felt sorry for food and grass, but because he felt sorry for his people for three months of eating grass roots. Li Zhe stood up and helped Lu Su up with both hands. Lu Su stood up and looked at Li Zhe. Li Zhe saw that Lu Su's eyes were always turning with tears. Li Zhe said to Lu Su: "I, Li Zhe, have no worries in the future if I have a subject who loves the people so much."

Li Zhe said, Zhuge Liang wrote: "I ordered Yi Ji to open the Jingzhou warehouse, and Zhou Yu escorted 1 million chariots of grain and grass to Jiujiang, Jiangdong, to appease the people, provide disaster relief, and consolidate the people's hearts."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Su turned his eyes with tears, and instantly two silver beads passed through his cheeks. With a plop, Lu Su knelt on the ground and said, "The lord is really a benevolent and righteous king. He loves the people as his son. I, Lu Su, will definitely assist the lord with all my heart."

Li Zhe helped Lu Su up again and said, "Don't kneel down from now on. My lord can't stand this trick the most. He kneels on the ground at any time. I also want to help you up every time. If you don't have your legs hurt, I will still have a back pain?"

After hearing this, Lu Su was stunned. Such a talented person could not analyze what Li Zhe said meant?

Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan and looked at Lu Su, then stood up and said, "If you are a person you value, don't always kneel down, but respect it with your heart. Only when you get along with your friends will your lord be able to adapt."

Lu Su was still a little confused and didn't quite understand Li Zhe's words. Li Zhe looked at Lu Su, a second-generation governor from Jiangdong, with such a look. Li Zhe laughed loudly, and Zhuge Liang was also watching Lu Su laughing. This smile was great, and Lu Su was so calm and composed.

Lu Su saw that there was no choice but to change the topic and said, "Lord, how can we deal with this person Meng Huo!"

Li Zhe said: "When Zhou Yu escorted one million cartons of food and grass, Zhou Yu will lead 70,000 troops from Jiangdong, and then go to Kuaiji with me He Kongming. I want to make dumplings for Meng Huo."

Everyone didn't understand what it meant to make dumplings. Kong Ming asked, "What does it mean to make dumplings?"

When Li Zhe heard this, he said, "Damn, I don't even have dumplings yet, right?" Li Zhe thought about it, isn't it? The origin of dumplings was created by Zhang Zhongjing!

------- Zhang Zhongjing wrote "Treatise on Febrile Diseases". Zhang Zhongjing has a famous saying: "If you advance, you will save the world; if you retreat, you will save the people; if you cannot be a good minister, you should also be a good doctor. He saw that the villagers on both sides of the Baihe River were pale and thin, and hungry and cold, and many people's ears were frozen. So he asked his disciples to set up a medical shed in Dongguan, Nanyang, set up a big pot, and put "Qihanjiaoer Soup" on the day of the winter solstice to treat frostbite. He put mutton, peppers and some cold-repellent medicinal materials in the pot to boil, then took out the mutton and the medicine, and chopped it into ears with bread. After the "Jiao'er" is cooked, it is distributed to each person who came to seek medicine for two "Jiao'er" and a large bowl of broth. People ate "Jiao'er" and drank "Quhan Soup", and their bodies are warm, their ears are hot, and their frostbite ears are cured. Later generations learn to "Jiao'er" and make them into food, also called "dumplings" or "flat food". Eating dumplings in the winter solstice is to never forget the kindness of "medical saint" Zhang Zhongjing's "Quhan Jiao'er Soup". There seems to be a folk song: "If you don't serve dumplings in the winter solstice, you will be careless if you freeze your ears." ------

Li Zhe smiled and said, "Okay, you will know in the future."

Xuzhou, Lu Bu's army had already entered Xuzhou City. Lu Bu and Zhang Liao went to Liu Bei's mansion. Chen Gong said: "Lord, the main reason for our defeat this time is that the 10,000 troops under Zhao Yun were incredible combat power. Ten thousand people attacked our camp, and the entire army was actually killed. This army can fight five with one enemy."

"Oh? With such a powerful force, then this ten thousand troops can match the combat power of 50,000 troops." Liu Bei was also thinking, if it was really as Chen Gong said, it was normal to defeat, but how did Zhao Yun's soldiers be trained here?

Ma Su saw several prisoners drinking together in prison and said, "I didn't expect that Lu Bu's army was defeated by 10,000 Jingzhou soldiers. It's really amazing."

Another prison guard also said: "Think about General Lu Bulu, who used to be the God of War, but now he actually holds 60,000 people and makes him beat him and run away. It seems that it will be mysterious to let him protect Xuzhou in the future!"

After hearing these words, Ma Su's whole body was heated, and sweat suddenly came out on his forehead. He was thinking. Since Liu Bei knew that Lu Bu was defeated, not to mention that even the prison guards could know that Lu Bu's army must have withdrawn into Xuzhou City, and the spy should have given the news to Liu Bei long ago.

Since Liu Bei knew that his army was defeated, why didn’t he let me out?

Ma Su thought to the contrary: If I were Liu Bei, what would I think of?

If I were Liu Bei, I would think that although you, Ma Su, I put you in prison, and this matter would definitely make me, Ma Su, not serve you, and then resign elsewhere, would be a future. It would be better to kill you as soon as possible to prevent future troubles!

When Ma Su thought of this, his whole body shivered, and his whole body unknowingly sweat soaked Ma Su's back of prison clothes. Ma Su knew that he had not much time at this moment. Liu Bei might have killed me after receiving Lu Bu and Chen Gong!
