A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 670 Lu Su

Someone once said that if we use the eyes of future generations to evaluate the civil and military talents that Cao Cao met in his life, Chen Gong should be Cao Cao's white moonlight.

When Cao was at his lowest point, Chen Gong resolutely gave up his official position and wealth to accompany Cao to travel the world, but they parted ways because of their different values, which became an eternal pain in Cao's heart. So much so that later on the White Gate Tower, the sound of Gongtai expressed too much reluctance.

Guan Yu should be the goddess that Boss Cao wants to lick, but unfortunately he can't get her love.

Zhao Yun was the internet celebrity female anchor who amazed Boss Cao so much that she recruited more than fifty generals but failed to keep Zhao Zilong of Changshan.

Dian Wei may be Cao's beloved late wife, Xu Chu is the perfect current husband, Yuan Shao is his childhood sweetheart, and Xu You is the fairy next door.

Xun Yu should be Boss Cao’s ex-girlfriend who was drifting away, and Guo Jia was his confidante whom he had never met before his death.

As for Liu Bei, she was probably a succubus whom Boss Cao met by chance, while Xu Shu was a commoner whom Boss Cao abducted.

Of course, these are just very vivid metaphors.

Now, Lu Cheng has poached Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang, and Liao Hua from the future Liu Bei, and Guo Jia, Man Chong, Xi Zhicai, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Li Dian, Zhang Liao, etc. from the future boss Cao.

He also poached Tian Feng from the future Yuan Shao and Taishi Ci from the future Soochow Wu.

The situation at the end of the Han Dynasty had completely moved towards an unknown direction.

Of course, Lu Cheng would not be satisfied with these. He also needed more talents and naval generals, which were relatively scarce in Liaodong.

After leaving Qiao County, Lu Cheng had another big eater by his side. Xu Chu's appetite alone was equal to the total appetite of the small group of guards around Lu Cheng, including Li Dian.

Of course, Dian Wei also has a big appetite.

Among the truly invincible warriors on the battlefield, few are thin. Each one is stronger than the other.

Even a general like Zhao Yun, who was famous for his speed and skills, also had a majestic appearance and was tall and long.

Such a huge warrior is naturally good at fighting and can eat more.

Of course, Lu Cheng can afford to feed his men no matter how much they eat and will never let them go hungry.

After leaving Qiao County, the group continued to head southeast and arrived at Linhuai East City (later Dingyuan County, Hui Province).

There is a wealthy family here named Lu Su, who is a famous powerful family in the east city of Linhuai.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs were in power, and coupled with the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people were living in misery.

Aristocratic families and powerful landlords from all over the country were busy annexing land and recruiting soldiers, but Lu Su of Dongcheng did the opposite. Instead of managing household affairs, he gave away large amounts of money, sold land to help the poor, and made friends with wise men. As a result, he was deeply loved by the villagers and his reputation spread far and wide.

Because his father died early and he had no brothers or sisters, Lu Su had always lived with his mother and grandmother. In order to take care of his grandmother, Lu Su never traveled far away.

One day, Lu Su was reading at home when a servant came to report that the governor of Liaodong was here to visit him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Su immediately straightened his clothes and went out to greet him.

In fact, Lu Su was not yet 17 years old at that time. In later generations, he would still be a high school student, but in this era, he was already a well-known head of a family.

"I didn't know that Lu Su did not go out to greet the Liaodong governor when he came. I am so disrespectful."

Lu Cheng chuckled, "I was passing by here and heard that there was a wise man in the East City, so I came to see him. I never thought that the legendary Lu Su, Lu Zijing, was so young. It's true that heroes emerge from youth."

"I've heard for a long time that Governor Lu swept across Liaodong and became famous all over the world, but he is also such a young hero."

After saying this, both of them smiled.

"Won't Zijing invite me to your house?"

"You are honored to be here, Lord Lu. I welcome you to my humble abode."

Lu Cheng signaled Xu Chu, Dian Wei and others to wait outside, but Lu Su invited them generously: "The governor's men are all fierce and brave. Since we are at the manor, why don't you come in and have a drink?"

Lu Cheng waved his hand: "Since Lu Zijing has spoken, there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Mr. Zijing."

After entering the manor, Lu Su immediately asked people to prepare a banquet to entertain Lu Cheng.

After some pleasantries, the two naturally turned the topic to the current situation.

Although Lu Su was young, he was already well-versed in classics. When talking about the current situation, he was eloquent and spoke clearly.

Although Lu Su in the novel is portrayed as a good guy, in fact, Lu Su is also a versatile man of both civil and military talents with a strategic vision.

Later, Yuan Shu occupied Huainan and wanted to recruit Lu Su, but Lu Su could not stand Yuan Shu's style, so he moved his family and went to join Zhou Yu.

Yuan Shu sent troops to chase him, but Lu Su directly stopped them, reprimanded them, stuck a shield into the ground, stood at a distance, drew his bow and arrow, and shot through the shield with one arrow. The pursuers saw that they could neither persuade nor defeat him, so they had to retreat.

Moreover, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had the Longzhong Discussion, Yuan Shao and Ju Su had the Yezhong Discussion, and Lu Su and Sun Quan also had the Couch Strategy.

In 200 AD, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were still in confrontation in the north, Lu Su judged in advance that Cao Cao would inevitably unify the north in the future and become the biggest enemy of Eastern Wu.

Therefore, Lu Su formulated a plan for Sun Quan to first attack Huang Zu, seize Jiangling, occupy all areas south of the Yangtze River, proclaim himself emperor, and then capture Jingzhou and plot to move north.

Later, Cao Cao's army attacked, and Jingzhou surrendered without a fight. Facing Cao Cao's million-strong army, all the officials of the Eastern Wu wanted to surrender, and even Sun Quan was wavering.

Lu Su directly told Sun Quan that after those civil officials surrendered, they just changed their leaders, and continued to play music and dance. If you, the boss, surrender, you will definitely not have a good ending. Sun Quan was therefore determined to resist Cao Cao.

Afterwards, Lu Su proposed an alliance with Liu to fight against Cao, which led to the Battle of Chibi between the Sun and Liu families and Cao Cao.

Later, Liu Bei seized Yizhou, and Sun Wu took the opportunity to take back Jingzhou, but Liu Bei was unwilling to give it, and the conflict between the two sides intensified. In order to continue the plan of joining forces with Liu Bei to fight against Cao, Lu Su met with Guan Yu and agreed to divide Jingzhou with the Xiang River as the boundary.

It can be said that Lu Su was capable of governing a region with literary skills and repelling the enemy with military skills. Even as a counselor and general, he was also a strategist and diplomat. He was definitely an all-rounder.

After the two of them talked, Lu Cheng couldn't help but sigh that there were indeed many monstrous geniuses in this era. Whether it was Xi Zhicai, who was in his twenties, or Guo Jia, who was 18 years old, or Lu Su, who was less than 17 years old in front of him, they all had already become talented people who looked down on the world.

Of course, Lu Su admired Lu Cheng even more. He thought he was well-read, but he never thought that the governor who was only a few years older than him was even more knowledgeable.

Later on, Lu Su basically asked Lu Cheng for advice and verified what he had learned, and unknowingly he began to treat Lu Cheng as a disciple.

It was not until the servant came to report that the dinner was ready that Lu Su said, "After talking with you today, I realized that I was just sitting in a well and looking at the world, and my knowledge was shallow."

"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Knowledge cannot be acquired only from books. You have to experience and verify it in order to become more and more knowledgeable. I have more than ten thousand books in Liaodong, and I have outstanding civil officials and military generals. I have the great scholar Cai Yong in charge of education, and I have the academy students. Zijing, why don't you follow me to Liaodong?"

"This... Su has always wanted to travel, but unfortunately, his mother and grandmother are at home, so it is difficult to travel far."

"Zi Jing, the troubled times have come, and wars are raging everywhere. How long can the land of Huainan remain peaceful? We have strong soldiers and horses in Liaodong, and the people are prosperous. Moreover, we are far away from the Central Plains. You can study hard and apply what you have learned to achieve great deeds. Why hesitate?"

"Since the governor sincerely invites me, Zijing should have accepted it immediately, but please allow me to inform my mother and grandmother..."
