Bu Zhi, also known as Zishan, was Lu Su's effective lieutenant when he was the prefect of Jiangxia.

Now that we meet on the Han River, it stands to reason that Bu Zhi should shout in a righteous and angry voice and ask Lu Su why he betrayed Sun Hou and where Gan Xingba is now.

But when he got closer and saw General Lu asking him where he was going with a calm face, Bu Zhi felt a little less confident for a while.

After all, he was stationed in Jiangxia before, and was on the front line facing Jiangling, and he served as the boss of Lu Su and Lu Meng.

Witnessing the internal struggle within Jiangdong in the VIP auditorium, Bu Zhao... didn't dare to have any inappropriate thoughts, but he still maintained a respectful attitude towards Lu Su at this time.

"Where is General Lu going?"

After carefully looking at the flag of the small boat, Lu Su smiled and said:

"Wherever Zishan goes, so will I."

Bu Zha nodded. In fact, he didn't know why he nodded, and then he fell silent. Both of them stood on the bow of the boat, watching the river flowing with white clouds.

An awkward atmosphere filled the entire river.

Logically speaking, the two ships could not keep up for a long time, but perhaps the shipowner saw the two talking to each other and thought they were acquaintances, so he tried hard to keep the same speed as the other ship - even at the stallion position, it only took one You can reach General Lu's ship by crossing it.

It would be impossible to explain such a similarity without saying anything, so Lu Su casually suggested:

"The boat owner caught a fat carp just now. I remember that Zishan tastes very good. Why don't we come over and have a meal together?"

In the end, Bu Zhi, who was kneeling on the bow of the boat with Lu Su in a daze, reflected in his heart:

He must have been deceived by hearing about the fat squid.

I am very loyal to Sun Hou!

However, seeing Lu Su on the other side who looked relaxed and was checking the cooked color of the fish soup, Bu Zhi finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart:

"General Lu, why..."

Bu Zhi couldn't speak any more, because he always felt that the word "rebellion" was too strong and it was difficult to say it.

Lu Su just smiled at this and used the spoon to make soup for Bu Zhao:

"Eat fish."

But Bu Zhi didn't appreciate it and still looked at Lu Su with persistence:

"General Lu, now General Ziming is... Marquis Sun recites the general's name every day, and everyone inside and outside the palace knows it."

These words made Lu Su sigh, then he threw away the spoon and stood up and said:

"Now that we are here, what can we say about peace and recovery?"

Even if Marquis Sun doesn't care about returning to Jiangdong, there is still such a thorn in the middle. We can work together in adverse times, but what if we wait for Jiangdong to be restored?

Moreover, after hearing the explanation from Governor Jiang, he already knew that if he wanted to reverse the crisis in Jiangdong, he must have the strength to support the building.

There are rebel allies on the outside and Cao Cao's thieves on the inside. There is the chaos of Shanyue in the north, and there are sweets and roses flowing freely on the river. Jiangdong, which was capable of defeating Cao's army during the Battle of Chibi, is now on the verge of collapse and is besieged internally and externally.

If he were still in Jiangdong, he would be obliged to do so, but now the old mother would definitely refuse to return to Jiangdong.

That's all, go to Chang'an to meet Uncle Liu Huang and Kong Ming to make a promise, and then find a stable place where you can farm to support your mother and open a school to teach and educate people. That's fine.

This is the truest thought in Lu Su's heart. What does Jiangdong's great cause, the revival of the Han Dynasty, and the Cao family's dictatorship have to do with him?

There was some confusion on Bu Zhao's face, but he finally insisted and asked: "General, has he voted for General Zuo?"

Lu Su shook his head, but after distinguishing Bu Zhao's name for Liu Bei, he was also sensitively aware:

"Is Zishan coming here to make friends with Duke Xuande?"

Seeing Lu Su's denial, Bu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief out of trust in his old boss's character, and then nodded and admitted:

"Everyone inside and outside Jiangdong wants to stop the war."

"Zhi Ge..." Lu Su smiled and didn't bother to say who started the fight, but it was indeed Sun Hou's style.

Moreover, according to Lu Su's understanding, Bu Zhao probably had a letter written by Sun Hou on his body, and there must be a promise of huge benefits in it.

But... now that Jiang Dong has stabbed him in the back, does Guild Xuande believe it?

Thinking of this, Lu Su felt a little sincerely happy:

At least he no longer had to worry about such a dilemma.

Thinking about it this way, even the fat carp smells a little better.

So Bu Zhi saw that General Lu seemed to be in a better mood inexplicably, but for some reason he looked at him with a look of pity?

But thinking back on it, Bu Zhi also found it ironic. Last year, the Bu family in the family married Sun Hou as his wife. At that time, everyone thought that the Bu family would take off in Jiangdong.

As a result, such a big war at the beginning of this year made the Bu clan dizzy. It was because of Mrs. Bu that Bu Zhi got the mission to Chang'an. But considering that Uncle Liu was betrayed by Sun Hou first and then sued for peace, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a good job. , so at this time, even the favorite fat carp has no appetite.

Bu Zhao even felt aggrieved in his heart:

Last year, the clan elders repeatedly lobbied him to mediate the matter of Mrs. Bu's marriage to Sun Hou. After this year's defeat, the clan elders began to avoid him when they saw him, and the harvest was clean.

Looking at General Lu at this time, Bu Zhao felt a little disappointed:

"General Lu, do you have any good wine?"

At the same time, Gan Ning was touching the ships moored at the dock in Jiangxia.

The giant ships were not there, but those warships that were improved by Madam Huang and were more suitable for accommodating giant crossbows were enough to open Gan Ning's eyes.

Not to mention that he also saw two new ships here that were said to be prototypes.

Gan Ning was not unfamiliar with the prototype ship when he was in Jiangdong, but what he saw at that time were often some fantastic things, many of which started to sink as soon as they left the dock.

But these shipwrights in Jiangling were different. On the platform next to the dock, the leading craftsman pulled out the drawings of the ships one by one and explained the design angles of these new ships to Gan Ning in detail. He was very organized and even questioned from time to time:

"Is General Gan really a naval general? How come he doesn't even understand such simple principles of shipbuilding?"

Gan Ning smiled and was not annoyed at all. He couldn't say that his water battle elements were just two steps of "accelerating the approach" and "bravely joining the gang", right?

A brief recollection of the results revealed the talents of this group of shipwrights, so Gan Ning pestered the master craftsmen with an expression full of flattery:

"Old man, tell me more about that racket."

The most eye-catching thing about these two trial ships is undoubtedly the two wooden pillars set up at the bow and stern. They support huge rocks on the top and pulleys on the bottom. After the soldiers in the cabin pull up the boulders with winches, the soldiers on the bow and stern aim at the enemy. The ship's direction is lowered directly, and its power is unparalleled.

When talking about this thing, the master also exclaimed:

"This prototype ship was originally used to house multi-ship crossbows. As a result, a descendant of Ship Commander Kong in Hanzhong presented the ship plan to Duke Xuande. Mr. Zhuge sorted out the racket pole from it, and we just rebuilt it overnight."

"Sure enough, its power is unparalleled. With such a warship far away, a crossbow and a racquet stick nearby, who can defeat it?"

Gan Ning sighed sincerely:

"Yes, who can defeat me?"
