Time keeps passing.

In the blink of an eye, it is the coldest month of winter again.

Up to now, whether it is the northern land or the areas south of the Yangtze River, heavy snow has fallen, and mountains, rivers, and roads have been frozen.

All parties involved were immersed in the winter and secretly recuperating.

After the autumn harvest, the scholars and people in various states and counties ushered in a brief period of peace.

At this time, in Wudu County, there was a Qiang Dao camp on the border.

The surrounding plains have long been covered with white snow.

The vast expanse of snow is daunting, like a scene wrapped in silver.

Between the camps.

In the remote and secret craftsman's room, Zhao Tong was wearing an ordinary Confucian robe at this time, waving his hands to guide the craftsmen to carry the brewed jars of distilled wine and bury them in the underground storage cellar.

Since Mi Zhu was previously ordered to come as an envoy to discuss the strategy of forming a caravan to jointly operate the "Juxian Brewing", the strategy was successfully negotiated.

Mi Zhu immediately reported the matter as soon as he returned to Chengdu.

Liu Bei, the king of Hanzhong, also waved his hand and gave him full authority to handle the matter.

Even though Mi Zhu had almost abandoned the way of doing business since he followed his wanderings.

But his many years of business experience have made him feel no stranger at all.

Returning to his old career allowed him to quickly master it.

He first asked his servant Mi Gui to form a caravan in a short time.

Then, relying on the few resources the family already had, they began to publicize the taste of "Juxian Brewing".

Under the overwhelming publicity.

Yizhou, Jingzhou, Liangzhou, Guanzhong, and even counties in Jiangdong, as well as places as far away as the Central Plains, Hebei and other places have also heard about it!

The news spread all over the country.

But it made all the soldiers and people look suspicious.

In particular, some powerful and powerful families showed expressions of confusion.

They drank a lot.

What kind of fine wine in the world have you not tasted?

Now there are rumors in Sichuan that a new type of wine will be launched, which tastes as delicious as nectar.

The expressions on their faces were that of disbelief.

Is there really such a delicious wine?

I'm afraid it's not fake, right?

Just when this news made people in various states and counties doubtful.

At this moment, Mi Zhu is located in Chengdu and has first-hand feedback information.

When collecting feedback from local people about Juxian Brewing, they did not have any worries.

He then slowly sent Migui to send a caravan to Qiang Road to get a batch of wine from Zhao Tong, and then transported it to Jingzhou.

First, it was given to the general Guan Yu and his subordinate Pang Tong and other civil and military officials in Jingzhou to taste.

Once they drank it, everyone looked intoxicated.

The taste of this wine is really wonderful...

At this time, Jiangling, the capital, was welcoming distinguished guests from Jiangdong.

Stationed at Lukou to guard against Lu Su, the commander-in-chief on the Western Front.

Because he had previously sent someone to submit to the Lord the strategic policy of persuading the Jingzhou Army to send troops together.

But after waiting for nearly a month, Sun Quan didn't make any movement.

It seems that it is already the twelfth lunar month.

Cao's various legions in Huainan are well prepared, and the battle situation is becoming increasingly intense.

Perhaps when this severe cold gradually passes, Jiangdong will face great pressure.

Lu Su then no longer sat idly by, and after handing over the affairs first, he sent more than ten attendants to punt boats upstream along Dongting Lake, and arrived at Jiangling City in a day or two.

When he arrived in the city, something urgent happened, and he did not bother to rest. He quickly submitted a greeting note to his general Guan Yu and asked to see him.

Watching the distinguished guests arrive.

Guan Yu and Pang Tong were living in the lobby at this moment, and they unconsciously looked at each other and smiled.

From their point of view, they already knew the purpose of Lu Su's visit.

"Shi Yuan, judging from this, Lu Zijing must have come because Cao Cao's thieves want to launch a large-scale attack on Wu."

"What you said is true!"

"We can act according to the plan we made in advance."

After saying this, Pang Tong still had a smile on his face and chuckled lightly.

"Well, as the saying goes, it's such a joy to have friends from far away!"

"Ping'er, please order someone to bring several jars of the fine Juxian wine sent by the caravan organized by Mr. Mi."

"Lu Zijing is our distinguished guest. He has continuously maintained the Sun-Liu Alliance for many years. He can be said to be a person who knows the overall situation. Since this visit has come, we cannot neglect it!"

"promise."

Seeing the solemn look on his father's face, Guan Ping, who was protecting him from the side, didn't hesitate at all and just accepted the promise.

After listening to Pang Tong on one side, the smile on his cheeks became even thicker.

Thinking of the fine wine he drank last time, he unconsciously licked his tongue and his taste was greatly stimulated.

He also seemed to understand Guan Yu's intentions.

Got Guan Yu's approval.

Early the next morning.

Lu Su, wearing a fur mat, a thick cotton-padded jacket, and straight clothes, braved the wind and snow and ran to the general's mansion, greeted by Zhou Cang.

As soon as you enter the mansion.

At this moment, all the civil and military officials on both sides of the mansion were gathered together.

Pang Tong, Ma Liang, Wang Fu, Liao Hua and other important officials from Jingzhou gathered here.

Seeing that they were neatly dressed, they seemed to have been waiting for them.

The leader, Guan Yu, was wearing a navy blue Confucian robe and was kneeling on the chair.

Seeing this, Lu Su showed a kind look on his face. He first walked to the center, straightened his clothes, bowed upward and saluted, "General Lu Kou, General Lu Su, pays homage to General Guan."

"I haven't seen you for many days, but I don't know how General Guan is doing?"

He also knows how to advance and retreat in one word.

He bowed and showed his dignity.

But his words were extremely resolute, without the slightest intention of paying homage to the country below, and he completely put the two families on the same level.

"Haha." Hearing this, Guan Yu laughed heartily, then narrowed his Danfeng eyes and slightly opened them, then responded loudly: "It turns out to be Zijing!"

"I haven't seen you in several years, but you have lost a lot of weight."

"Please take care of yourself."

Seeing that Lu Su was giving face like this, Guan Yu did not show off this time and responded quickly. Then he saw that Lu Su's face seemed a little pale now, and his complexion was not as good as he had seen before.

Then a trace of concern arose, and he reminded me sincerely.

To be fair.

If they weren't each their own master, with Lu Su's easy-going temperament, they could all be friends with him.

But now, after all, everyone is acting as their master, so they can only maintain a certain sense of distance.

For several years, Guan Yu was based in Jingzhou, coordinating important military and political affairs.

Sun Quan from Jiangdong also ordered Lu Su to garrison at Lukou and take charge of military affairs on the western front.

Guan Yu knows it best.

Lu Su indeed had the overall situation in mind, knowing that once the alliance between Sun and Liu collapsed and killed each other, the Cao family would only benefit.

Therefore, he has been trying his best to maintain the good relationship between the two families for many years.

Guan Yu also speculated that if Lu Su was gone, the two families might never get along so harmoniously again.

In public and in private, he just spoke solemnly.
