Don't look at him as a martial artist, but character can only affect the channel or means for a person to achieve his goal, but it will not affect his ambition.

As a son of a family who received Confucian education since he was a child, Lu Su, like everyone else, yearned for the sacred words of Yao and Shun in the Analects of Confucius that "prosper and destroy the country and inherit the world".

Lu Su is naturally very excited to see the two countries that have passed away rejuvenate in the old land.

……

"Hmm... build a new city?"

"It's not impossible, it's better to say, this is just right!"

On the opposite side, after Zhang Yan thought about Lu Su's suggestion, the expression on his face was much better than before.

"I remember that smelting and forging are very waste water, right? It happens that this place is close to the Huai River, so whether it is water collection or sewage discharge, this place is much better than Wancheng!"

"There is also sulfur. Most of the iron ore in Lujiang is pyrite. You can also move a sulfur production line here, or even move the entire Lujiang sulfur, saltpeter and other industries related to industrial production here. The waste is directly injected into the East China Sea through the Huaihe River, so that it will not affect the living environment of the densely populated areas."

"The most important thing is... to guard the river, you must guard the Huai River!"

"Since ancient times, all those who attacked from south to north must rely on the Yangtze River and defend the Huaihe River in order to gain a sliver of initiative in the confrontation between the north and the south. Otherwise, they will be like Yizhou, which lost Jingzhou, and turn into a turtle in an urn!"

"As long as this place develops in the future, we can directly build a city here to form a northern line of defense and defend it along the river. At that time, whether it is to resist the northern princes going south or take the initiative to attack..."

"Active...attack..."

……

Under Lu Su's reminder, it was obvious that Zhang Yan's thinking was instantly opened, and many things were settled logically.

It's just that maybe because he was a little too excited, Zhang Yan also forgot that he was in front of Lu Su at this moment, and he said such words as "resisting the northern princes" and "actively attacking". The courtyard has already become like a dead place, almost a needle drop can be heard.

Turning around in embarrassment and looking at Lu Su, a drop of cold sweat was evident on Zhang Yan's cheek.

"Uh... um, did you hear that just now?"

……

"Well... I heard it."

Wiping the sweat from his forehead secretly, Lu Su's expression also became a little embarrassed when he saw the other party make a series of obvious "disgraceful" remarks.

……

What Zhang Yan said just now was a bit deep after all.

Northern defense?Who do you want to guard against?

Are you guarding against courtiers who are princes of the Han Dynasty, emperors and envoys like you?

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with a thud, Zhang Yan's expression obviously became a little guilty.

More importantly, just now he directly said that it was what he wanted to do in Lujiang, not what he had been ordered by the prefect.

Seeing Lu Su's unsurprising appearance, Zhang Yan only felt that the other party might have already guessed his identity, calling himself an official instead of "envoy" or "fujun", just to match his acting , to make myself less embarrassing.

……

"You...wouldn't have known my identity long ago, right?"

As thin as a gnat, he asked softly at the other party. Before Zhang Yan could take a deep breath, Lu Su's answer made him feel his blood surge, and his face turned extremely red——

"Sir, no... my lord."

"Well, hasn't anyone told you before that your acting skills are actually quite clumsy?"

……

Amidst Lu Su's innocent eyes and Ye'er's chuckle not far away, Zhang Yan even thought of hiding his face and running away.

Chapter 30 New Arrivals

"Stupid, really stupid!"

A few days later, in a newly built mansion in Lujiang, a burly man was holding a report in his hand and yelling curses.

Even the movement of the construction outside could not be concealed by that angry voice. For a while, the whole mansion was filled with the other party's curses.

There is no doubt that this person is Lu Su and Lu Zijing who followed Zhang Yan all the way south to Lujiang.

……

"Hey, it's not that I speak badly. My lord, you let everyone criticize you. You said that these 2 veterans will not be transferred back, and they will be left in Qianshan like this. What are you going to do?"

"These more than 2 recruits, if you don't find some real opponents for them to practice, you don't even make arrangements for daily drills and confrontations. What are you going to do?"

"Only these 4 people are already full of hair. Do you want to recruit another 2 troops?"

"Hehe, the military equipment of this army is quite neat, and the number of people is quite scary."

"It's just the role of these 4 people... Anyone who knows knows that you have no time to take care of military affairs. If you don't know, you may think that you didn't recruit [-] troops, but made [-] clay figurines. Home!"

"You tell me what to say!"

Vigorously shaking the report in his hand, Lu Su's face was full of resentment at the moment, even looking at other people in the room with a little helplessness.

And in this temporary room, Zhang Yan, and several generals who were in charge of sickness on the front line who were called back to Wancheng recently were sitting there with apologetic smiles on their faces, and they were full of embarrassing emotions. .

"madness!"

Spit was scattered in the air, Zhang Yan looked at the gradually rising miniature rainbow, couldn't help scratching his face again, and stepped back a bit embarrassed.

Lu Su has been angry here for almost half an hour.

Ever since Yang Feng and other generals who had been dispatched by him to various places in Lujiang returned today, Zhang Yan received an application from Lu Su, saying that he wanted to invite some of Zhang Yan's main generals together for a discussion. Military arrangements for a period of time to come.

Poor Zhang Yan thought that he just wanted to hold a meeting like the company in his previous life. Everyone sat down and had a good talk, but he didn't want Lu Su to do nothing after all the people arrived, so he demoted the few people present. Mess.

It would be fine if he said he was just talking nonsense. If Lu Su, as a newcomer, would criticize everyone harshly when he came up indiscriminately, even if Zhang Yan didn't say anything, like Pei Yuanshao's other hands The generals leading the troops below will also stand up and ask for an explanation.

After all, these people were all warriors, so they definitely wouldn't let a "newcomer" talk nonsense in front of him.

But what made everyone present feel a little helpless was that this newcomer, whom the protagonist had picked up from nowhere, was justified in every word he said to the few people present, and his scolding was clear about right and wrong.

To know that right is right and wrong is wrong.

Although Pei Yuanshao and others are impatient, as warriors, they still have the basic sense of right and wrong, and they can tell right from wrong.

Now being bullied by Na Lu Su for half an hour, the few people present all had a hint of embarrassment on their faces, silently accepting the other party's "pointing".

Among these people, the one who felt the most embarrassed and at the same time felt the most uncomfortable was Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang who was now on the cusp of Lu Su's verbal and penal attacks.

……

"Uh, that, before... didn't I let them suppress the bandits in the Qianshan Mountains before, that is, those mountains and mountains, ahem, you must know."

"Those people are fleeing in the mountains in a swarm. I must send troops to garrison there for a long time, so that while deterring those idle thieves, they will continue to recruit them."

……

Scratching the back of his head in embarrassment, Zhang Yan faced Lu Su's series of questions, only feeling that his cheeks were a little red and his forehead had a fever.

When he gave the order before, he didn't think there was any problem. Whether it was stationing troops or dispatching troops, they all had a certain purpose.

I just don't know why, in Lu Su's evaluation today, his approach seems extremely clumsy, and he even became the most criticized and most ruthless one.

"It's just that later..."

……

"Then what?"

He glanced sideways at Zhang Yan who was still trying to explain in front of him. Seeing that the other party was still unwilling to open his mouth, Lu Su simply spoke out for him.

……

"Later, my lord, you forgot about this army because of other things, and you didn't even remember that you still have a 2-man army on mission in Qianshan?"

Sneering and snorting a few words, Lu Su had obviously guessed what Zhang Yan wanted to say.

In front of him, Zhang Yan's face turned even redder, obviously he was hit by the other party's words.

What Lu Su said is absolutely correct. He indeed sent Xu Huang and others to Qianshan at the junction of summer and autumn last year, and then he thought about letting them stay there for two months to stabilize the local people and at the same time deter them. Let's look at those Xiaoxiao who fled to the surrounding mountains and forests.

And these two months passed, and it was another two months.

After more than half a year, Zhang Yan, who was busy with other things, had completely forgotten that there were still 2 people under him stationed in Qianshan.I only remember that there is such an army, and all the others are completely forgotten.

It is precisely because of this that he is so speechless in the face of Lu Su's current responsibilities.

……

"Please, I asked General Xu just now, and he said that it has been more than half a year since you sent him to Qianshan!"

"This is half a year! How many half years can a person have in his life? In this half a year, General Xu has not received a single order, and just squatted on the buried hill with 2 people like a pit..."

"My lord, have you ever thought about the feelings of those soldiers who spend the winter outside!"

"They are wondering what year it is today! My lord!"

Sighing, he handed over the marching record that Xu Huang handed in—that is, the report in his hand just now to Zhang Yan. Lu Su opened his mouth to him, not knowing what to say for a moment.

……

"Here, my lord, just read these military newspapers."

"The cavalry are all idle, and most of the infantry are bad. Why didn't we recruit archers... Oh, all of them were replaced by artillery, right?"

"Speaking of which makes me angry!"

"My lord, I've seen the cannon you mentioned before. It's really a remarkable thing... But such a good thing, with soldiers equipped with a lot of cannons, you actually let them guard the city of Wancheng, my lord??"

Chapter 31 Huainan First Industrial Zone

"When this cannon fires, it will destroy hundreds of steps. My lord, you can just make a mound outside, and this thing can turn the mound into the most indestructible city wall!"

"Don't you understand how to resist the enemy thousands of miles away?"

"Don't you understand that Shangbing fights outside the country?"

"Such good things, my lord, you actually moved them all back to Wancheng and piled them up..."

"Stupid!"
