The Three Kingdoms: Zhaolie, the strategist, and the rise of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 38: Donglai Heroes, Mission Accomplished (Please Read!)

Lu Su was also a local tyrant in Xuzhou, but his family fortune was not as large as that of the Mi family.

It’s not that Lu Su is not good at business, but that he is too kind and charitable. Mi Zhu is nothing compared to him.

The historical records say: "Su did not manage his family affairs, but gave away his wealth and sold his land to help the poor and win over the people."

It's basically like giving money away for free. No matter how big the family business is, it can't withstand Lu Su's squandering.

Of course, this is also related to the sins committed by Lao Cao.

At this time, Lu Su was only in his early twenties. When Cao Cao massacred Xuzhou, a large number of people from Lu Su's hometown fled to Guangling and even Jiangdong.

This can be considered as Lu Su spending his money to protect himself.

"I have heard a little bit about this man, but I wonder where he is now?"

Liu Bei asked curiously.

"He is in Dongcheng County of Xiapi State. He is a young man with great courage and is good at coming up with extraordinary plans."

"My lord, as the governor of Xuzhou, you only need to issue a conscription order and Lu Su will come."

"Oh, so you are from this county!"

Liu Bei was overjoyed, as he was now anxious to hire someone.

Lu Su was Li Yi's first choice talent, so his abilities must be outstanding.

"Yes, this man has the talent to assist the king, and he has quite a bit of wealth. My lord, you should try to win him over."

Even though Lu Su was always giving away his wealth, he also wanted to make money, so he was making money while giving it away.

This situation continued until 198.
Zhou Yu, who was still in Lujiang at the time, heard that Lu Su was kind and generous, so he brought hundreds of people and traveled 200 kilometers to solicit sponsorship.

Of course, when they say they are soliciting sponsorship, they are actually just going to other people’s turf and taking advantage of the big players.

After all, these days are full of chaos and Brother Yu is a little short of money.

This at least proves that Lu Su is really rich and generous.

Otherwise, Zhou Yu would not have come from such a far distance.

How could such a wealthy, generous and capable talent be left to Jiangdong Jerry?

Not to mention that Sun Ce looked down on Lu Su at all.

As a result, Lu Su wasted several years in Jiangdong and returned to his hometown in Xuzhou in depression.

If Sun Ce had not died in the middle of the journey, Zhou Yu would have played out a "Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon" drama and recommended Lu Su to Sun Quan.

Lu Su never had the opportunity to be reused.

But Liu Bei is different. In fact, Liu Bei is the most suitable lord for Lu Su.

The two of them actually get along quite well.

In the novel, both of them are portrayed as loyal and honest elders.

In history, both of them were free-spirited knights with heroic spirit.

Moreover, Lu Su really hoped to be reused and to display his talents.

If he could serve as an official directly in his hometown of Xuzhou, Lu Su would have no reason to refuse.

"Good, Lu Zijing... I'll make a note of it."

"Does the military advisor have any other talents to recommend?"

Liu Bei stroked his beard and continued asking.

Li Yi hesitated for a moment and said slowly:

"There are also Chen Jiao from Dongyang, Guangling, and Xu Sheng from Ju, Langya. You can also send an order to summon them."

These people have one thing in common, that is, they are all native to Xuzhou.

As the governor of Xuzhou, Liu Bei had every right to recruit them, and unless there were any unexpected events, they would almost certainly come.

The next person Li Yi recommended was a talent who had a chance of getting the award but was not 100% sure of getting it.

"Liu Ye from Cheng'e in Huainan, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin from Xiacai in Jiujiang, my lord, please give them a try as well."

These people are not too far away from Xuzhou, so the situation where they are not there when the order arrives is unlikely to occur.

After all, people in this era like to travel far away.

Like in san11, the conscription order from Liaodong could be sent directly to Yunnan, which is really outrageous.

In addition to geographical factors, there are also human factors.

Like Liu Ye, who was a relative of the Han royal family like Lao Liu, but he didn't like Lao Liu very much.

On the contrary, he repeatedly advised Cao Cao to kill Lao Liu to prevent future troubles.

We are of the same root, why are we so eager to fight each other?

As for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, it is not certain whether they have already defected to Sun Ce.

Because Sun Ce is now helping Yuan Shu fight.

To be precise, he took the opportunity to escape from Yuan Shu's control under the pretext of helping him fight the war.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin went to join Sun Ce during the period when Sun Ce started his rebellion.

"Good! Good! Good!!"

Hearing the names of so many talented people at once, Liu Bei was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

Although Lao Liu is average in all aspects, he is humble and willing to accept advice and is eager to seek talented people.

His thirst for talent meant that he was always surrounded by talented people.

After getting a great sage like Li Yi, Liu Bei was very happy.

Now this great sage has recommended several talents in succession, which makes him even more delighted.

Moreover, to govern such a large city as Xuzhou well, one must have the assistance of extraordinary people.

"In this case, I will go back and draft a petition for the appointment."

"Lord, wait!"

Liu Bei was about to turn around and leave, but was suddenly stopped by Li Yi. "Yi just thought of another talent."

"This man is seven feet and seven inches tall, with a long and beautiful beard, and arms as strong as an ape. He is good at archery and never misses a target. He is like Yang Youji or Li Guang reborn."

"I like that this man is loyal and brave, and has both literary and martial skills, and has the ability to stand on his own."

"If we can recruit him, he will surely become the lord's right-hand man!"

hiss……

After listening to Li Yi's description, Liu Bei was immediately moved.

"I don't know what this person's name is, and where he is now?"

"If it is really as you said, I will definitely ask for this person to come."

Li Yi smiled with his lips curved:
"This person is an old friend of the lord."

"Old friend?"

Liu Bei raised his eyebrows. He was a knight-errant and had met countless people.

Speaking of old friends, I really can't remember who Li Yi is talking about for a short time.

"...Haha, this person has met the lord once before, but that was the only time."

"It is understandable that my lord cannot remember."

Liu Bei smiled awkwardly, "Forgive me for my forgetfulness, I wonder who this old friend is?"

"This person is Taishi Ci of Donglai!"

Li Yi said loudly.

Taishi Ci is still a free agent now, so the right thing to do would be to let Lao Liu sign this two-time All-Star before the winter transfer window closes.

Otherwise, by the second half of the year, Taishi Ci would have been overtaken by Sun Ce.

Judging from the time, Taishi Ci should still be in his hometown of Donglai.

However, if he is not recruited, Taishi Ci will have to go to Jiangdong to fight for a big contract.

And this time, he stayed in Jiangdong for many years and never returned to the north.

This is a talent that Lao Liu missed out on, which is a pity.

"It turned out to be Taishi Ziyi!"

Liu Bei slapped his head and thought of this person.

He did meet Taishi Ci once.

This story has to start from before Liu Bei came to Xuzhou.

At that time, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were in rebellion, and Kong Rong, the Prime Minister of Beihai, was besieged by Guan Hai, a general of the Yellow Turban Army.

Since Taishi Ci's mother was often taken care of by Kong Rong, she asked her son to rescue Kong Rong.

Taishi Ci was indeed a strong man. He broke through the siege alone at night and met Kong Rong.

He immediately asked Kong Rong for troops and went out of the city to fight the enemy.

But Kong Rong disagreed. In his opinion, if I had 5,000 people.

Even if you, Taishi Ci, come, you only have 5,001 men. You will definitely not be able to win.

So Kong Rong planned to ask Liu Bei for help.

However, no general under his command dared to break out, only Taishi Ci was eager to try.

Kong Rong said, "Everyone says that the Yellow Turbans are surrounding us tightly and it is difficult to break through, but you say it is no problem. Although you are courageous, how can you do what others cannot do?"

Taishi Ci's answer was also very heroic, saying:

"I'm here to help you because I do have the ability to do so. Everyone says it's impossible to break through. If I also say it's impossible, then why am I here?"

Kong Rong was moved by Taishi Ci's heroic spirit and agreed to his request.

In the end, Taishi Ci took two cavalrymen and actually broke through, meeting Liu Bei on the plain.

This was also the first time the two met.

Taishi Ci is also very smart. He starts with a moral kidnapping.

He said that I, Taishi Ci, was originally from Donglai, and had no relationship with Kong Rong, but was willing to share hardships with him only because we shared the same ideals.

Now Kong Beihai is trapped by bandits. I have long heard that Envoy Liu is a man of benevolence and righteousness, and will surely be able to save people in distress, so I sent me to find you.

At this time, Liu Bei was still under the command of Gongsun Zan and was assisting Tian Kai in fighting against Yuan Shao's general Zang Hong.

The two sides have been fighting fiercely for years and the military situation is grim.

Liu Bei was busy with military affairs and couldn't get away.

But he immediately handed over his three thousand elite soldiers to Taishi Ci.

You have to know that Liu Bei only had a few thousand people under his command.

But just because of one sentence and one person, he handed over three thousand elite soldiers without hesitation.

This shows Liu Bei's chivalrous side.

Of course, you can say that Liu Bei was just trying to please Kong Rong and get into the circle of aristocratic families.

But as the old saying goes, a gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart.

If Liu Bei did not come to the rescue, Beihai City would be broken and the people would suffer.

Regardless of Liu Bei's motives, he did help the people of Beihai.

This chivalrous spirit is consistent with Taishi Ci, who also has a heroic spirit.

For Liu Bei, there is definitely a chance that Taishi Ci will be recruited under his command!
