It is one of the counties in the north of Yangzhou. However, just as the south of Yangzhou is called Jiangdong, the north of Yangzhou is also called Huainan.
Shouchun in Huainan was the capital of Yuan Shu.[
Linhuai County is close to Shouchun and is also within Yuan Shu's sphere of influence. Yuan Shu was cruel and ruthless, so Linhuai County was in dilapidated state. In addition, some powerful forces took advantage of the war to annex land, making this area even more chaotic.
Most of the people along the road have good looks and thin bodies.
However, there are exceptions. In Linhuai County, there is a city called Dongcheng. This city is relatively stable, and the people along the road are also quite healthy.
This is because there is a Lu Su in Dongcheng.
Lu Su is more than 20 years old this year. When he was a boy, he did not manage property. He often rode horses and held bows, gathering young men to raise soldiers and practice martial arts. He was also good at charity and did not leave any money.
The elders in the village called him Kuang Sheng. They believed that with the existence of Lu Su, the Lu family would become weaker and weaker.
However, as wars broke out, Lu Su's reputation grew. He was charitable and often helped the common people, which made the village stable and gained a certain amount of support.
So he gathered his followers and called on the local powerful to resist the bandits.
Yuan Shu heard about Lu Su's reputation and asked Lu Su to be the mayor of the east city. However, later Lu Su saw that Yuan Shu was not a man who could achieve great things, so he led 300 of his men to Jiangdong to meet Zhou Yu.
Living well, but because his grandmother passed away, Lu Su returned to Dongcheng to observe filial piety.
Because Lu Su was kind to the villagers in his early years and united with the powerful to resist the bandits, Dongcheng was peaceful in the troubled times. Therefore, when Lu Su returned to the local area, the villagers were very enthusiastic.
There was also someone among them who had a keen eye for talents and thought that Lu Su was talented, so he planned to lure him away. This person was Liu Quan, whose courtesy name was Ziyang. He had a personal relationship with Lu Su.
On this day, Liu Quan came to visit Lu Su.
In the mansion, in the hall.
Lu Su ordered people to serve wine and invited Liu Quan to sit down. Then Lu Su also came to the table and sat down. After sitting down, he asked, "I wonder if Ziyang is here, what can I say?"
Liu Quan smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "In today's troubled times, Zijing has a talent for managing the world. Why doesn't he want to report to the Ming Lord and make achievements, but instead hangs out in the east city?"
Lu Su's grandmother died, and according to the rules, one must observe filial piety. However, this day passed not long ago. Now Lu Su is in a state of doing nothing.
That's why Liu Quan said this.
"It's natural for a man to make contributions and build a career." Lu Su nodded happily and said. But then, Lu Su shook his head and said: "But in today's world, the so-called Ming Dynasty means that there are many advisers around and it is difficult to get ahead. Or it is mediocre.
People like me will be destroyed sooner or later. It is really difficult to find someone who can reuse me and has potential."[
Lu Su lived in Jiangdong for several years, but he buried his grandmother and returned to Dongcheng. Although Lu Su was filial, it was necessary, but in fact it was also an excuse.
Because Lu Su and Sun Ce didn't get along, Lu Su recognized that Sun Ce had great potential, he was strong-blooded and heroic, and he was famous for leading troops to fight against the heroes of the world.
But it is a pity that Sun Ce only used ordinary talents against Lu Su.
