The talents of Xiliang were relatively in decline, and there were only a few Xiliang soldiers in the army who could barely use them. Lu Bu asked them to recruit Yang Fu, Pang De, and Yan Xing for himself.

In history, Yang Fu, with his own strength, made Ma Chao, who was invincible in Xiliang, fled to Zhang Lu in a panic. His military and political strategy can be seen. If he got this person, he could settle Xiliang. But this guy was very disgusted with the martial artist Ma Chao, and probably had no good impression of Lu Bu, who had the same attribute as Ma Chao.

Needless to say, Pang De is brave and resourceful, and he is a general, but I don’t know if he has defected to Ma Teng now.

Let me talk about Yan Xing. Lu Bu remembers that he had read the Three Kingdoms before. It said that when Yan Xing was Han Sui's general, when Han Sui had a conflict with Ma Teng, he tried to stab Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng with a spear. Because he broke the spear, he almost killed Ma Chao (Note 2). Whether it is official history, Xu Chu, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao's military power are similar. Only Lu Bu can defeat them. Yan Xing can do that. Seeing that his force is probably not inferior to Lu Bu, Lu Bu was happy to see such talents, so he didn't want to rush out to fight with people at any time. After all, he is the lord, and a general should do such a single fight.

Because Yizhou was far away, soldiers from Yizhou could not be found in the army for a while. Lu Bu had no choice but to draw a portion of the soldiers from Jingzhou to Yizhou to recruit Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Gan Ning, Yan Yan, Dong He, Qin Mi and others.

Lu Bu estimated that Yizhou was still in a turbulent stage at this time. Liu Yan had just entered Yizhou and had not yet wiped out the local rebellion. Zhang Ren, Huang Quan, Gan Ning and others were only about twenty years old. Zhang Ren and Huang Quan are now just a minor official in the county. Although Gan Ning became the governor of Shu County, they were incompatible with the local tyrants. Except for Yan Yan, everyone else should have not been valued by Old Liu Yan. Since they were not valued, Zhang Ren would not have the opportunity to say "How can a loyal minister serve the second master?" When he was summoned to Jizhou to fulfill his loyalty to himself, don't work hard for the Liu family, the father and son of the guardian dog.

The other talents, such as Li Hui, Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, Wang Ping, etc., are still very young. Their father is not as famous as Zhuge Liang's uncle. Fa Zheng's father cannot recruit their father. I guess these children cannot abduct them, so I have to wait until they get to Yizhou before talking.

The next place of talent is Yangzhou. Yangzhou has Shouchun County, Lujiang County, Danyang County, Wu County, Kuaiji County, Poyang County, Linhai County, Yuzhang County, Linchuan County, Luling County, and Jian'an County. It has a large area, a large population, and a large number of talents. However, there are only a few Yangzhou soldiers under Lu Bu's command, and they cannot complete the task of recruiting more than a dozen talents. Lu Bu had to draw more than 30 from Xuzhou soldiers to assist them.

The one who was recruited first was Lu Dai.

Lu Dai was not famous in Romance. In history, he was one of the few officials in Eastern Wu. He was omnipotent in civil and military affairs. He set up Jiaozhou for Eastern Wu and Guangzhou for thousands of miles of territory. He was also the highest-lived general. He was 96 years old, comparable to Liao Hua of Shu Han. He was a minor official at the county and county, but later defected to Sun Quan. He knew people well and was happy when he heard of mistakes. He was honest and dedicated to the public. He had not been able to care about family benefits over the years and his wife and children were poor. Lu Bu was very happy that he had such a virtuous clan. He also had a passionate letter to Lu Dai, saying that he would be willing to follow the clan of Lu Dai and recognized Lu Dai as his companion.

The reason why Lu Bu put down the airs of the governor of the state and general Zhenbei and met with Lu Fan, Lu Qian, Lu Dai and others was the rule of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the history of making a fortune by Cao Cao, Sun Jian and others.

The Cao Cao clan is huge, and the Cao family and the Xiahou family have many talents. They include talents from generals such as Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Shang, and the Sun family also have talents from Sun Jing, Sun He, Sun Ben, Sun Fu, Sun Yu, and Sun Shao. However, the population of Lu Bu's clan has withered, and there are not many decent talents. It is impossible for him to use his close relatives to control foreign generals like Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, families were bigger than countries, and many people placed family interests above other interests. Some people did not hesitate to sell their current lords to protect their families, but no one dared to betray their own family. Some people even changed their lords for the sake of family relatives, such as Chen Gui and Chen Deng, followed Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Cao Cao.

Since my ancestors did not leave their closest brothers to cheer for me, I had to find some talented people of the same surname and recognize them as brothers in my clan. Although I recognized relatives who were not inherited from blood, they were still more loyal than ordinary generals, because the cost of betraying themselves was much greater than that of ordinary generals. Betraying this lord for the next lord was considered a "good bird to choose a tree", and betraying the family would only become a "lost dog".

After promulgating the task of summoning Lu Dai, Lu Bu suddenly remembered that among the four generals of the Eastern Wu, there was a master of the Lu family. This person was even more talented than Lu Dai. After crossing the river in white clothes, he quickly pacified Jingzhou, causing the arrogant and arrogant Guan Yu to die in an instant. This person was Lu Meng.

Lu Bu recalled the history of the Three Kingdoms carefully. This year was 189 AD. It was estimated that Lu Meng was only about ten years old. He had not followed his brother-in-law Deng Dang to Dongwu and was still in his hometown in Runan.

Because Lu Meng lost his father since childhood, Lu Bu asked Chen Lin to write a letter to Lu Meng's mother, and invited her to Jizhou with her children. Runan County belongs to Yuzhou, so Lu Bu ordered five soldiers from Yuzhou to take gold and silver and letters to Lu Meng's house to take his whole family to Jizhou.

Lu Bu is preparing to recognize Lu Meng as his adopted son. Although some people say that there are many children like Lu Meng in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. As long as they are well trained, they can become generals. Lu Bu will of course open a school to train many orphans as his future confidant generals, but it is difficult to predict whether orphans will succeed. However, Lu Meng is a famous learning talent. The allusion of "appearing with admiration" is derived from him. His super self-study ability is sometimes born. Lu Bu believes that even with thousands of children together, Lu Meng can quickly stand out.

Lu Bu then sent soldiers to recruit Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, Ling Cao, He Qi, Dong Xi, Yu Fan, Liu Ye, Lu Su, Bu Wei, Yan Jun, Kan Ze and others.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were also a water thief in the Jiujiang area. It should not be difficult to summon him if he invited him to his official position. Although Chen Wu, Ling Cao, He Qi and Dong Xi were a local tyrant, they were all despised by the aristocratic families, so it should not be difficult to summon him.

Bu Zhi and Yan Jun, Kan Ze and the other three were born in poor families. Kan Ze had no money to buy books because his family was poor and had no money to copy books to read a lot of books. Bu Zhi made a living by planting melons. It should not be difficult for Lu Bu to invite him to show off his official position and pay a lot of money.

The difficulty is Yu Fan, Liu Ye and Lu Su. Yu Fan is the son of Yu Xin, the prefect of Rinan, and the Yu family is one of the four great masters in the early stage of Jiangdong. Liu Ye is a descendant of Liu Yan, the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and is also from a family of Xianguan. Lu Su is a wealthy family, and with the need to support his grandmother, it is probably not so easy to join him.

Lu Bu made up his mind at this time to show the attitude of Cao Cao to treat Guan Yu and summon all the heroes from all over the world. Regardless of whether you end up joining you or not, at least I am respectful to the wise and thirsty, and I am eager to seek talents.

The focus of this trip to Yangzhou was Lu Xun and Lu Boyan.

Lu Xun is less than ten years old now, and the way to get him is exactly the same as the way to get Zhuge Liang. Lu Xun's father Lu Jun is currently the chief lieutenant of Jiujiang County. Although the position of the chief lieutenant of Jiujiang County is not very low, it is still not as good as the captain of the city gate that Lu Jun's father Lu Xian once served as. The captain of the city gate specifically refers to the captain of the capital city gate, and is naturally much better than the captain of a remote county in the remote county. After Lu Bu brought Empress Dowager He and the Young Emperor to Yecheng, Yecheng became the capital. Lu Bu wanted to appoint a confidant but was afraid that Lu Zhi and other alliance forces would oppose it. Let the son of the former captain of the city gate, who was not originally affiliated with any force, serve as the captain of the city gate. It should be able to convince Lu Zhi and others.

The most important thing is that he has obtained Lu Xun. This child is well-trained and can share the military and political responsibilities of the future with Zhuge Liang. Lu Jun's fortune and longevity are not long and he will probably die in six or seven years. At that time, Lu Bu will recognize Lu Xun as his adopted son again, and with the help of Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Lu Meng and other adopted sons, Lu Bu's hegemony can last for a hundred years.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu felt happy.
