Chapter 499

“Stop the execution!” So a horse entered the execution grounds

“Ah!” Sun Quan screaht at the back of his neck Chu Ju ht at the last moment

“The Military Advisor has an order for Chu Ju!” The ave Chu Ju a letter The letter ritten by Xu Shu and the order was for Sun Quan to be let go

Chu Ju frowned and then ordered his subordinates to release Sun Quan

Sun Quan gasped for breath right after escapingwas such a happy thing and that dying was so scary

“I knew my brother would save me! He loves me dearly!” Sun Quan muttered

“Haha Lord Sun Quan You don’t need to die but that doesn’t mean you were saved by your brother Take a look at this letter” Chu Ju sneered and handed Sun Quan the letter Sun Quan read the letter and found out that the nobles in Jiangdong found out about his capture and all contributed their money to redeem him Sodong nobles? Not my brother?” Sun Quan muttered absentmindedly

“Men Give Lord Sun Quan here a bath and a change of clothes then send hiold, they could not send him away in prison clothes

“Yes!” The soldiers cupped their fists and then took Sun Quan away

Once Sun Quan had gone far away, Chu Ju went to a courtyard near the execution grounds There, hea book

This person looked like a scholar but also has the skills of a warrior Chu Ju hiainst this person “Has he been sent back yet?” Xu Shu who had been reading a book noticed Chu Ju’s arrival and asked without looking away from his book

“Yes, Military Advisor I have already dispatched people to send hih Xu Shu did not bother to look at hiry This is because Xu Shu was extre went to Jingzhou, Xu Shu needed to do everything in Yangzhou On top of that, Yangzhou was in the process of rebuilding so Xu Shu needed to supervise alzhou to Xu Shu, Xu Shu intended to live up to Liu Mang’s trust

Xu Shu was observing this incident personally as it was extree had already ordered hi was their biggest threat with the Yangtze River acting as a natural barrier and also with their many talented people If they wholeheartedly wanted to crush Lu Bu’s Ar had no internal problems They could send out their entire ar intended to do was put a bo This was just like Sun Qian at Liu Bei’s Arerous than Sun Qian as Sun Quan was ambitious Sun Qian could only harm Liu Bei at worst but Sun Quan could possibly end Sun Ce’s life Even if this whole thing fails, Liu Mang would lose nothing

“Good, good, good!” Xu Shu praised Chu Ju three ti his words

“No, this is just Er Gouzi’s job” Er Gouzi was so happy he was praised three times that he said his name

“Haha You do not need to be so hu troops” Xu Shu replied Er Gouzi was chosen for the task because of two reasons The first was that Er Gouzi, could give out a killing intent thatThis was a skill that only veterans of war could obtain The second was Er Gouzi’s acting skills Trickery was also one of the advantages of the Danyang troops

“Alright, Chu Ju If this succeeds, I will ht even be possible for you to obtain a proh Er Gouzi was a 1000-e of supplies It was a place far froht be able to rejoin the battlefield How could he not feel happy?

“Thank you, Military Advisor!” Er Gouzi said excitedly

After Er Gouzi left, Xu Shu entered the nearby rooood at sche” Lu Su said with a bitter s from Lu Su The reason Lu Su had a bitter s Xu Shu said had a possibility of happening Lu Su finally realized how frightening a talented person with ambitions were On top of that, this person also had the support of the nobles With Sun Quan’s personality, it was possible for Jiangdong to enter a state of civil unrest

“Haha Master Zijing, this is not ood in overt plots but not such conspiracies In other words, Xu Shu was able towith the hearts of his ene them off

“This is not your schethe Lord’s instructions” Xu Shu nodded

“The King of Shu, Liu Mang?” Lu Su’s eyes widened in surprise

Xu Shu nodded again to confirm Lu Su’s question but Lu Su could barely believe it This is because Sun Quan was only fa Others only knew about the Little Conqueror Sun Ce while Sun Quan was si Sun Quan’s a Liu Mang rasp Sun Quan’s heart

“Master Yuanzhi Are you not afraid I would leak this information?” Lu Su asked with suspicion as Xu Shu had explained the entire scheme to him

“Haha You won’t do it” Xu Shu said without a care

“Oh?”

“Don’t forget You are already a dead person!” Xu Shu said and drank a mouthful of tea

“I see!” Lu Su understood To the public, Lu Su was already dead He died in Yangzhou Then why did they let hihness intent to do to et the answer fro to ith you for a very long time Master Lu Su, how about you join our army?” Xu Shu said to Lu Su

Lu Su was a h to take Zhou Yu’s post after Zhou Yu’s death There are those that said Lu Su was tricked by Zhuge Liang However at the ti Lu Su and on top of that, Lu Su had a good relationshi+p with Zhuge Liang He knew of Zhuge Liang’s trickery but sie Liang instead of doing it himself since he would lose a friend and also provoke Zhou Yu’s authority

He and Zhou Yu were the only people in Jiangdong who kneould becoinal timeline This helped form the alliance that defeated Cao Cao at Chibi

That hy Lu Su was soo He only released Lu Su the first tient need for craftsmen A person as talented as Lu Su could not be left in the hands of the enehness place too ize for not appreciating favors but His Highness is not the Lord I expect nor azhou” Lu Su said tactfully He did not have good opinion of Liu Mang and Yangzhou It was not the place he could see success in Jiangdong was rich and had a natural barrier Even if Cao Cao attacked, Jiangdong would be relatively safe as long as they zhou was in a terrible location They would have Cao Cao attacking fro from the West On top of that, they had no natural barriers

Yangzhou’s output would also definitely be lower than Cao Cao’s provinces such as Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Youzhou andwinning at all Why would he stay there?

Another reason is that Lu Su did not like Liu Mang’s attitude towards nobles While the nobles were certainly repulsive, a Ruler needed their support Without the support of the nobles, losing would be inevitable Gongsun Zan was a good example He killed Liu Yu and lost the noble’s support before Yuan Shao finished hi is truly talented!” Xu Shu had a whole new level of respect for Lu Su after hearing theabout Lu Su’s talent, Xu Shu did not believe him If Lu Su was talented, ould Sun Ce not use hi Liao? Yet Xu Shu had to adhts Xu Shu himself would have been persuaded by Lu Su if he did not know about Yangzhou’s advantages

“Master Yuanzhi overpraisethis” Lu Su mocked himself as he looked at his prisoner clothes

Xu Shu hi’s side “Master Zijing I hope you can reconsider Your good friend is also working for Milord” Although Liu Mang already had a lot of advisors, there was no harzhou would eventually expand further
