Chapter 489 On Buying People's Hearts... (Ask for a monthly ticket again)
Xu Sheng pretended to sleep and didn't want to talk to Lu Yan.
But Lu Yan's words made Sima Yi see the waves hidden in Xu Sheng's heart.
Sima Yi glanced at Lu Yan and saw that Lu Yan had no objection, so he said with a smile: "Hey, brother... you are the first person I have ever seen who can ignore the Hussars General. I respect you.
Man, come and drink this glass of water, and go on your way in peace!"
"call!"
After hearing the words "General Hussars of the Dynasty", Xu Sheng's body froze first, and then sprang up with a cry!
He stared at Sima Yi, then glanced at Lu Yan, who didn't look like a general at all, and asked in disbelief: "What? Who did you just call the hussar general?!"
Xu Sheng's reaction was so strong that it was somewhat beyond Lu Yan and Sima Yi's expectations.
However, these two are both men who remain unchanged despite the collapse of the mountain, so minor accidents are of no consequence.
Sima Yi pointed at Lu Yan with his eyes and said, "What do you think? Apart from me, the Sima who follows the army, who else in this room can be a hussar general?"
Xu Sheng's eyes widened and he stared at Lu Yan in disbelief, "You... you are... the Hussars General, Chen Liuhou, Lu Yan, and Lu Changsheng?!"
Lu Yan put down the water glass, smiled and said, "Why, is Lu Yan worth pretending to be?"
After Xu Sheng received the confirmation, he seemed a little excited.
Suddenly, Xu Sheng took two big steps forward and came directly in front of Lu Yan.
Facing Xu Sheng's sudden movement, Lu Yan remained motionless, but Sima Yi subconsciously took half a step forward, trying to stand between Lu Yan and Xu Sheng.
This action of Sima Yi actually made Lu Yan a little surprised and impressed.
"With Sima Yi's life-saving nature, shouldn't he take the initiative to hide behind me? He actually took the initiative to protect me from danger. Is it possible that he was really influenced by me?"
Sima Yi took half a step forward and suddenly realized that he couldn't help but want to use his body to protect Lu Yan...
But the problem is, this guy next to me is one of the top masters in the world!
"Ashamed, ashamed..." Sima Yi felt that he was a little too reckless, so he took two steps back and hid behind Lu Yan...
When Lu Yan saw Sima Yi take a half step forward, he immediately took two steps back and hid behind him. He couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his eyes, and said to himself: "Okay, old thief Sima is still the same old thief Sima..."
When Xu Sheng came to Lu Yan, not only did he not have any intention to attack, but he unexpectedly knelt down on one knee towards Lu Yan!
"???"
"???"
This sudden change confused both Lu Yan and Sima Yi.
Sima Yi even murmured in his heart: "Is the reputation of General Hussar already so strong?"
What Lu Yan was thinking in his mind was: "Could this be the legendary king's domineering spirit that makes you all look down upon the wind?"
However, it turns out that they just thought too much...
Xu Sheng knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said to Lu Yan: "The guilty general is from Langyeju County. In his early years, he took his old mother to Guangling County to escape the war.
Later, I heard that Sun Taolu was recruiting talented managers, so I came to Jiangdong with the idea of giving it a try."
Hey, this guy and Zhuge Liang are both from Langya County, or are they fellow villagers?
An unrelated thought came to Lu Yan's mind for no apparent reason, and then he said with a smile: "You are actually from Xuzhou too."
Xu Sheng nodded and continued: "My mother became seriously ill because of the long journey... I looked for doctors all over those years, but they were all helpless."
Thinking of this, Xu Sheng couldn't help but swallow a little, "Later, after Prime Minister Cao sent people to take over Xuzhou, Xuzhou also quickly opened a hospital. Unexpectedly, my mother, who had been seriously ill and refused to recover, under the careful care of the hospital doctors,
My body is slowly getting better."
"I see."
"It's actually because of the hospital..."
Sima Yi and Lu Yan finally understood the reason for Xu Sheng's excitement.
It turned out that Lu Yan's policy of benefiting the people cured Xu Sheng's old mother's illness, which was equivalent to selling Xu Sheng a favor in disguise.
"Is your mother's illness cured?" Lu Yan asked gently.
"Thank you, Lu Qiaoqi, for your concern!" Xu Sheng first said thanks with clasped fists, and then replied: "My mother has recovered.
She is still staying in Guangling County.
In addition to hospitals, there are also nursing homes there.
The elderly in nursing homes are cared for by the government. They have no worries about food and clothing, and they also have company among themselves.
I tried to bring her to Chaisang City several times, but she refused."
Sima Yi glanced at Lu Yan calmly and thought to himself: "Lu Qiaoqi's tricks to win over people's hearts are really hard to guard against!
Fortunately, the important ministers in the court often complained that opening hospitals, nursing homes, and local schools cost too much money from the treasury, but they did not know that it was these measures that benefited the people that firmly tied the hearts of the people to the court.
.”
“Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.
But Lu Qiaoqi himself has no desire for fame and wealth, but he is all taking advantage of Lao Cao...
Alas... I don’t know how many lifetimes of blessing Mr. Cao had accumulated before he met his teacher in this life!”
"I'm envious...I really want to be someone like a teacher!"
Countless thoughts flashed through Sima Yi's mind like a horse.
After Lu Yan listened to Xu Sheng's words, he felt satisfied in his heart.
Standing up and helping Xu Sheng up, Lu Yan said: "Don't worry, the future will be better and better, and the people's lives will be better and better. I'm so happy to hear that people like your mother are getting help from the court."
news."
Xu Sheng could clearly feel that Lu Yan's words came from the bottom of his heart.
After he stood up following Lu Yan's hand, he suddenly had the urge to go to the Central Plains...
Lu Yan patted Xu Sheng on the shoulder and said: "What a good boy, you are quite strong. You are from Xuzhou. I hope you can go back to Xuzhou or the Central Plains to see the changes in these places. I believe you will be right about it."
I’m surprised by their earth-shaking changes!”
Xu Sheng was pricked in his mind by Lu Yan. After hesitating for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth, bowed and saluted, "Xu Sheng, the guilty general, is willing to surrender to Lu Qiaoqi!"
When Lu Yan heard this, he smiled and helped him up, saying, "No, you didn't surrender to me, you just chose a path that can better realize your own value!"
Xu Sheng raised his head and stared at Lu Yan blankly, feeling extremely moved in his heart.
"Can it still be like this?" Sima Yi behind Lu Yan said "tsk tsk" twice in his heart, and sighed: "In terms of buying people's hearts, ten old Cao Cao are probably not as good as one old Lu!"
But what Sima Yi didn't notice was that the small half step before had already shown that his heart was slowly falling unconsciously...
...
August of the ninth year of Jian'an.
The scorching heat is hard to get rid of, and the fighting spirit is aroused!
Cao Ang, who led his army on an expedition to the grasslands, entered the grasslands for several months. During this period, he had also wiped out countless grassland tribes, large and small.
Whether it is the Xianbei tribe or any other tribe, as long as they are discovered by Cao's army, the smarter ones can survive by surrendering earlier, but the ones with more brains will only be destroyed.
Not long ago, Cao Ang rescued a group of Han slaves who were captured by the Xianbei people, and finally knew the specific location of the Xianbei royal court in the central part of the country.
Led by a small group of Han slaves who volunteered, Cao Ang's army began to attack the royal court of Xianbei in the middle!
