Lu Su did not ignore the people around him because he was surprised to see Liu Ye.
On the contrary, from the first time Lu Su saw Gan Ning, he knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Whether it is temperament, appearance, or body shape, it is not something that an ordinary servant can possess.
"Zijing, this is Gan Ning of Ba County, whose courtesy name is Xingba. I heard that Zijing likes to make friends with the world's heroes, so I brought Xingba here to pay a visit to Zijing!"
Lu Su's eyes lit up, and Liu Yezheng spoke to his heart. From the first moment he saw Gan Ning, he had a desire to make friends with him.
"It turns out that Brother Gan is from Yizhou, disrespectful, disrespectful..."
Gan Ning did not dare to be negligent and quickly returned the favor.
"Gan Ning pays homage to Mr. Lu."
"Brothers, if you stand at the door, wouldn't it be contrary to Lu Su's hospitality? Please speak inside the room!"
Lu Su turned aside, took half a step back, and made a gesture of invitation.
Liu Ye had a close friendship with Lu Su, and they were not too polite.
"please!"
The three of them walked side by side and arrived at the Lu Mansion living room.
After the guests and hosts were seated, the servants immediately served hot tea with very thoughtful etiquette.
"I heard that my brother is crossing the river to visit friends in Wu County. I wonder if the trip will go smoothly?"
Liu Ye smiled and nodded. Not only was he visiting a friend, he also visited a master for himself when he returned from crossing the river.
"Zijing, my brother is here today. I really have something important to discuss with you."
"Brother, please speak."
Lu Su looked startled, and immediately straightened his back and looked at Liu Ye seriously.
"When the world was in chaos, Dong Zhuo was defeated and fled to Luoyang, and the imperial court moved westward to Chang'an. I thought the world would be a little more stable, but unexpectedly, the governors, governors, and prefects of various states all supported themselves and attacked each other! Last year, Dong Zhuo and Wang Yun violently attacked each other one after another.
The imperial court and His Majesty fell into the hands of Li Jue, Guo Si and other thieves. The country has been ruined and ethics have collapsed! The princes have become more unscrupulous, not only despising the imperial power, but also attacking wantonly!"
As a member of the Han clan, Liu Ye unconsciously felt a sense of frustration in his heart.
He prides himself on being extremely intelligent, but he is helpless in dealing with the current chaos. This is also an important reason for accepting Liu Zhang's olive branch.
The Han Dynasty used Confucianism to govern the country, but Confucianism had no meaning in troubled times.
Even if Liu Ye talks a lot, it still won't help. If you want to calm down the troubled times, the most important thing is to have soldiers, generals, territory, and food!
Now, unable to use moral influence to separatist princes, we can only use swords and guns to make them surrender.
Lu Su knew Liu Ye's heart well and couldn't help but feel sad.
"What my brother said is absolutely true! Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world has been in turmoil. The court has been controlled by traitors, and natural and man-made disasters have continued. All lives are in danger, and the country is in danger! It is a pity that the princes only focus on fighting for power and profit, and no one cares about the people of the world. It is really disappointing.
People are heartbroken!"
"Su Bucai, thanks to the legacy of his father, has a lot of family assets. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I have sold a large amount of my land and used my limited power to save innocent refugees. Look at how big my Lu family is, but how big is the Lu family?"
There are only three people in my family, including me! The rest are all refugees being rescued!"
Gan Ning also robbed the rich and gave to the poor in Bajun. He thought that what he did was considered a righteous act, but compared with Lu Su, it was really nothing.
Lu Su was completely benevolent and righteous, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he had the heart of a saint. Gan Ning couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for him.
"Mr. Lu's spirit of self-sacrifice for others really makes Gan Ning admire him!"
Gan Ning's praise did not waver Lu Su's heavy mood, and he still shook his head helplessly.
"Hey! It's a pity that one person's power is limited. I, Lu Su, sold all the Lu family, so what? I saved ten people, a hundred people. How can I save a thousand or ten thousand people? After all, I am a useless person!"
Lu Su really had a charming personality, and Gan Ning's eyes were full of admiration. He didn't expect there to be such a selfless person in the world.
"Lu..."
Just as Gan Ning was about to explain his purpose, Liu Ye winked at him repeatedly.
"Zijing, the states and counties are not at peace right now. I'm afraid it won't be long before the war breaks out in Huainan!"
"Yes, nowadays we are in troubled times and the princes are vying for hegemony. Which piece of land in the world can be spared?"
Lu Su was convinced of this. At present, there has been no large-scale battle in Huainan, but the position of governor of Yangzhou has caused two Yuan Dynasties to fight.
Even Yuan Shao's cousin Yuan Yi died under the official position of Yangzhou Governor!
"Zijing thinks, where will the land of Huainan belong to in the future?"
Lu Su met Liu Ye's gaze, and then softly uttered two words.
"Yuan Shu."
Liu Ye was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Lu Su to be so well-informed.
"It seems that Zijing already knows the news that Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Cao."
"Yes, I heard that Yuan Shu lost several battles in a row and was completely defeated. Now he has come to Jiujiang County. He wants to use Shouchun as the foundation for Xu Tu to make a comeback."
Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, it would be great if Lu Su knew this.
"Yuan Shu is addicted to pleasure and has no sympathy for the people. Nanyang, which was once prosperous for a while, has now become a ruined place. Isn't Zijing worried that Huainan will become the next Nanyang?"
How could Lu Su not be worried? This was exactly what he was worried about all day long.
The people may not know Yuan Shu's reputation, but they know it clearly in their hearts.
As an imperial hometown, Nanyang County has a population of over one million! It was only occupied by Yuan Shu for less than three years, but what kind of disaster has it suffered?
The corpses of common people can be seen everywhere, the population of each county is reduced to ten, the prosperity and prosperity are gone forever, and Nanyang, the capital of the country, has become a refugee center!
Huainan is a fertile land with a large population and developed commerce. If it is occupied by a wise king, great achievements will definitely be achieved!
However, Yuan Shu was incompetent in governance and was profligate. Lu Su could predict the outcome of Huainan without even thinking about it.
It will definitely become the second worst in Nanyang, and even surpass the tragedy of Nanyang, becoming the new purgatory on earth!
"Although Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao Cao, he is still the top prince in the world. What can we do if we are still white?"
Lu Su beat his chest and felt so helpless that Gan Ning could no longer sit back and watch, and stood up directly.
"Mr. Lu, my lord has said that Yuan Shu, withered bones in the grave, is nothing to worry about! The more proud he is now, the more miserable his death will be in the future."
Lu Su couldn't help but widen his eyes, and many questions suddenly appeared in his heart.
"Your master? Brother Gan, may I ask who your master is?"
Gan Ning knew that he had been rash and looked at Liu Ye with some embarrassment, only to see the latter nodded slightly to him.
"To be honest, I serve under General Wei."
"General Wei? Could it be Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang?"
"Exactly!"
"this..."
Lu Su's mood at this moment was similar to Liu Ye's reaction when he learned about Gan Ning. His first thought was that Liu Zhang had come to Yangzhou.
But after thinking about it calmly, I realized that this was absolutely impossible.
First, Yizhou was undecided, and the situation in Liangzhou and Guanzhong was complicated. Sun Jian was also shot in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao, who had just defeated Yuan Shu, was stationed there. Even if Liu Zhang had great ability, he would not be able to march into Yangzhou so quickly.
"Lu Su is stupid, please... General Gan please make it clear!"
