"Well, it can't be said that I know you, it's just that I have heard some of your reputation before."

"I forgot to ask you, you said you came to Zhongli overnight after you heard about me, why?"

Youyou sighed, Zhang Yan saw that the other party responded, and then he was sure that the other party's identity was actually Lu Su, the governor of the Eastern Wu who was famous in history but not well-known in the romance.

Of course, the opponent is far from reaching his peak, and he is not the highest military leader of Soochow, but just a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.

But even so, Zhang Yan still felt a slight embarrassment.

You know, he had always thought that the other party was just a simple farmer before, so after some random guesses, he decided that the other party had something to ask for himself.

Now it seems that his behavior is not only stupid, but also talking to himself. It is quite normal for Lu Su to be embarrassed by his behavior but not to speak up.

In any case, Lu Su was also from a big family in a certain place. Not to mention the family's wealth, his personality was even more generous.

For example, in the historical records, no matter where he travels, he will take the initiative to help when he sees people in need. When he sees someone hungry and resisting local bandit oppression, he will take the initiative to donate food and money to help the local guards. Will help these people train soldiers, it can be said that Wude is extremely abundant.

Even Zhou Yu, the first governor of Soochow, the man who stabilized his head during the whole performance process, also met Sun Ce during the military training near the Houchao Kingdom of Lujiang after he followed Sun Ce to capture Lujiang. After Lu Su benefited a lot, he brought Lu Su to Sun Ce, paving the way for his future official career.

He nodded awkwardly at the other party. Zhang Yan didn't expect that his kindness would turn into a show-off behavior, so he had to take the initiative to lead the topic in other directions.

Fortunately, Lu Su is not a crooked dragon king, he must slap his face back after the other party fails to pretend to be coercive.

He just smiled at Zhang Yan, and didn't mention the previous thing, but replied to the other party:

"This... chief officer, of course something has to happen."

"Actually, you have seen it. Although I am not very old now, I am also an adult who has undergone the crown ceremony and has become a family. Naturally, it is time to do something serious."

"Most of the elders in the family want me to follow the path of a scholar to enter the official career, but you also know that in the current officialdom, there is no one who pays attention to the origin of family education and the depth of qualifications. In this regard, I have no advantage. .”

"Honestly speaking, I want to lead troops to fight as a general, to be a Confucian general, but my family doesn't want to, saying that it would ruin the family tradition of the Lu family..."

"No, the second uncle also knows about my situation, and he also heard that Lujiang County in the south has recently changed the sheriff, and the employment is neither nepotism nor age, but only personal ability, so he asked me to come and try it out. Let's see if I can find a job in Lujiang Taishou's Mansion."

It was flattering but not too flattering, words of sincerity that would definitely not be sincere came out of Lu Su's mouth, I saw him cupping his hands towards Zhang Yan, and then continued:

"Sir, if you can do me a favor, just help me find an errand in Lujiang... It doesn't cost much, I can bring my own dry food, just find something to do."

"The old man from before... As you can see, he was a tenant farmer before our Lu family. He was recently released by my family as a freelancer. He has always been grateful to me and wanted to find an opportunity to repay our kindness. It is precisely Therefore, after he heard the news about you, Chief Officer, he sent someone to Xiapi overnight to tell me the news, and called over for me."

"Don't look at me, I'm quite energetic now. I also drove all night and arrived here before you set off. Why don't you see..."

After winking at Zhang Yan, Lu Su pointed to his dark eye sockets.

"Look, you can't let me make this trip for nothing, can you?"

On the other side, after hearing what he said, Zhang Yan not only didn't think it was difficult, but was overjoyed——

Good guy, now is the time for Lujiang to employ people, not to mention Lu Su, a famous figure in history, even if Lu Shu and Zhou Xun are here, it is not easy to find something to do easy?

As early as when he set off, he had expressed emotion that although he now has civil servants and military generals under his command, these people's personal abilities are not too outstanding, and Zhang Yan can't be cited as a brawn to help him share those important affairs.

For example, in the past two days, we will determine the future transportation plan of Lujiang River and upgrade the smelting industry.

As long as Zhang Yan has a qualified leadership team, that is, the cabinet, it is enough for the cabinet members to make a decision for him. Why does he need to go to Zhou Lai in person?

After all, a large part of the reason why he is currently busy with various government affairs in Lujiang is that at the level of the entire county government, Zhang Yan does not have a "helper" who can help him undertake the responsibilities, which makes his energy very exhausted. serious.

And the solution to this matter is also very simple -

Back then, Liu Bei had Zhuge Liang to control the internal affairs for him, and Fazheng to manage the military for him.

At that time, Cao Cao had Cheng Yu and Chen Qun to control the internal affairs for him, and Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai to manage the military for him.

At that time, Sun Quanwen had Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, and Wu had Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng and others, and his important officials were hardly inferior to the above two.

If Zhang Yan wants to share these county-level affairs, he only needs to find someone who is capable enough to coordinate one party's affairs.

Just like the Three Kingdoms series of Guangrong Company in the previous life, any lord of a place can appoint three important ministers to be in charge of military affairs, internal affairs, and foreign affairs.

……

Of course, this is not to say that the group of civil and military personnel under Zhang Yan's current hands is really not enough to hold such an important position, but the character traits of people like Wang Lang and Mi Fang are too "obvious". These are certain flaws. If you hold an important position, it is easy to cause some things that Zhang Yan doesn't want to see because of your own emotions.

As for generals, maybe Xu Huang is a suitable seed in the future, but before he gets enough experience, like Yang Feng and others, he is only suitable for leading troops to fight outside, not suitable for making decisions from the perspective of the entire force Issues.

In such a big environment, Lu Su's appearance can be said to be a pillow for sleepiness.

Chapter 25 Don't do it!

"Looking for something to do? Of course, I'm in Lujiang... Well, I can still talk."

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

Following Zhang Yan's slight smile, he suddenly became very interested in Lu Su.

This person's personal ability is undoubtedly worthy of recognition, otherwise, after Zhou Yu died of illness in the original history, the entire military movement of Soochow would not have been transferred to him in this way.

But if this is the case, then Zhang Yan needs to confirm whether Lu Su's actual character or ability tendency is closer to the setting in the novel, or closer to the historical facts.

……

In Romance of the Three Kingdoms edited by Luo Guanzhong, all the characteristics of Lu Su, the governor of the Eastern Wu who can fight well, are completely ignored, and instead he is described as a frail scholar.

Even his behavior of donating righteousness and wealth, and often helping the army to beg for thieves, has been distorted into a soft temper like Tao Qian. Not only was he suppressed by the later Prime Minister Zhuge for a long time, it seems that throughout his career as the governor of the Eastern Wu, Nothing worth recording was done.

In the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms compiled by Chen Shou, the description of Lu Su's character is completely different.

Who is Lu Su?He is the governor of Soochow.The earliest title of the official position of "Captain Governor" was "Governor's Military Affairs". There is no doubt that this is the direct leader of a country's army. Anyone who can hold this position, even if he is not a soldier with a wolf-like character, is not It will be an ordinary peacemaker, a good old man.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms·Wu Guozhi, after Lu Su took over the governor from Zhou Yu, he started a non-stop south-to-north war. During the battle, Lu Su used troops seven times in seven consecutive years from 210 AD to his death in 217 AD. Within the territory of Wu State.

In addition, during the internal rectification process of the Soochow forces, Lu Su has always been a staunch fighting faction.

For those Shanyue forces that Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang and others have long suggested Huairou, Lu Su has always implemented the simplest and most extreme policy of clearing them by force, and implemented the policy into practice under the condition that Sun Quan trusted him. Guaranteeing the foundation for Wu to start with Yangzhou, one of the most remote and poor places in the world, but able to erupt with extremely strong war potential in the middle and late stages.

To put it simply, if we use a metaphor for the relationship between this person and Sun Quan, Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao are Sun Quan's "Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu", then Lu Su is Sun Quan's "White Horse General Gongsun Zan".

For all internal and external government affairs and diplomatic posture, Lu Su's only suggestion is to fight a battle first, and then hand it over to the sour literati in the court to deal with the aftermath.

"What do I want to do..."

"How about what can I do?"

After listening to Zhang Yan's inquiry, Lu Su was a little dazed for the first time, as if he didn't react.But then, he remembered what the tenant at home had said to him before, and also remembered the identity of the person in front of him, so he couldn't help but feel eager to try.

Some have the right to speak, if these words are placed on the person in front of him, then it is really not wrong.

"You ask what you can do, hehe, then there are many."

In front of Lu Su, Zhang Yan suddenly pursed his lips and smiled, then asked him:

"Lu Zijing, would you like to be a scribe under me and be in charge of internal affairs all day long, governing the country and the people?"

……

"Govern the country and the people?"

Lu Su paused for a moment, then looked at the man in front of him:

"As a scribe, can he dispatch troops and make achievements?"

……

"This... can't."

"Qianxun" 0㈥8〥[-]⑤Э

Shaking his head lightly, as soon as Zhang Yan's words fell, Lu Su's face pulled down.

"If you can't make meritorious deeds and become an official or title, then you don't know how long it will take to get ahead. If you spend all your time with seniority, you are no different from ordinary civil servants in the north."

"Don't do it, don't do it!"

Shaking his head decisively at Zhang Yan, Lu Su's expression became a little disgusted.

……

"Then, if you want to make great achievements, why don't you become a general who leads the army under my command?"

"I see that you are tall and strange, and you will not be a weak hand if you want to lead the army! I just established two strong armies in Lujiang County a few days ago, and I will form a third army in the near future. Why don't you come here?" How about being the commander-in-chief of this third army and being responsible for the defense work in Lujiang?"

He asked Lu Su kindly. After the other party rejected his recommendation, Zhang Yan was not angry, but secretly crossed Lu Su in his heart, who was the peacemaker image in Romance, and put this One possibility ruled out.

"Being a general...it's not bad."

"It's just Zhang...cough cough, it's just that the chief officer, if he becomes a general, he wants to lead troops to fight outside all day, right?"

"I don't know if this is the case, can I still call myself a scribe, and can I have time to study the classics and improve myself?"

After Zhang Yan proposed to let Lu Su join the army, Lu Su's expression was not as ugly as before.

It just seems to remember that his family rules are very strict, and the parents and elders in the family have barely touched the threshold of the aristocratic family from a powerful landlord's family, but Lu Su has some resistance to the position of general, or is worried.

He worried that if he became a general who led the army under the hands of the man in front of him, even if it didn't take long, all the literary atmosphere he had cultivated with great difficulty would be thrown to his grandma's house.

"Well, if you become a general with me, you must give priority to military affairs when there is a battle, and you have to train soldiers all day long when there is no battle. Even if you study the scriptures, you have to read military books like Sun Tzu's Art of War. Don’t think about classics and classics…”

……

"Don't do it, don't do it!"

This time, before Zhang Yan finished speaking, Lu Su shook his head decisively and rejected Zhang Yan's other proposal.

"My parents are very strict. I can lead soldiers to fight, but if I degenerate into a warrior because of this, even if I can make great achievements, those two in my family will definitely not let me go!"

"Don't do it, don't do it, this can't be done!"

Quickly strangled Zhang Yan to let him join the army, which may be limited by age and etiquette. Now Lu Su still respects the elderly at home, or is a little afraid.

It's just that in this way, Lu Su's article would not work, and Wu would not want it. Zhang Yan did have a bit of a murmur.

He originally wanted to see whether Lu Su would be a literati like in the novel, or a general like in the historical records.It's just that he didn't expect that Lu Su didn't want to go both ways, which was beyond his expectation.

In the end, I don't blame Lu Su for this matter. In the original historical world line, when Lu Su was dragged out of the mountain by Zhou Yu for the first time, he was already in his twenties.

At that time, Zhou Yu had already captured Lujiang City, and Lu Su was no longer just a young man like now, but became the head of the Lu family.

With the death of his parents and no restrictions from his parents, Lu Su at that time could naturally do whatever he wanted, lead troops to fight if he wanted to.

It can only be said that since Zhang Yan pulled out the future governor several years in advance, it is inevitable that he must bear the corresponding results and costs.

For Lu Su, if he wants to use him in advance, how to find a position that satisfies both parties is the main thing that Zhang Yan needs to think about.
