Liu Zhang did not ask carefully about the process of Lu Su coming to Yizhou. After all, everyone had already arrived, so the process was not important.
Hearing Lu Su mention it today and thinking of the death of Lu Su's grandmother, Liu Zhang felt even more shocked.
"good!"
Lu Su nodded, thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of longing.
"At the beginning, my mother neither supported nor objected. She was also worried about whether my grandmother was physically fit for traveling."
"My lord knows that our Lu family only has me, my mother, and my grandmother. If both elders object, then Lu Su must not come to Yizhou regardless of this!"
In this era, no matter who you are, the most important thing is to abide by filial piety. If a person is not filial to his parents, what talents can he expect?
If Lu Su really refused to come to Yizhou because of filial piety issues, Liu Zhang would not blame Lu Su in any way.
"But after my grandmother found out about this, she was very determined to ask me to come and serve, and she told me to do my best to assist my lord, to get rid of all the rebels who are causing trouble in the world, and to restore peace to the world!"
"Being able to see the prosperous age of Yizhou with my own eyes, and being able to enjoy my old age here, I believe my grandma will definitely be able to smile!"
It is indeed a family that has raised talents like Lu Zijing. As expected, even the women are heroes among women.
At first, Liu Zhang personally mourned Lu Su's grandmother, mostly for Lu Su and other people in Yizhou to see. However, thinking about it today, Liu Zhang couldn't help but secretly feel happy.
Liu Zhang decided to personally send Lu Su's grandmother on her final journey. Liu Zhang deeply felt the wisdom of this decision.
"I really admire Zijing's high righteousness! If the old lady Quanxia learns about Zijing's contribution to the barbarians, she will definitely be proud of it!"
Lu Su smiled and nodded. There was no sadness or reluctance on his face, but only infinite expectations for the future.
"My lord, this time the three armies return to Chengdu, are they going to send troops to Liangzhou?"
Lu Su did not want to dwell on the issue of the deceased. After all, Liu Zhang had done everything he could.
Now that 70,000 troops have returned to Chengdu, it is imminent to send troops!
"That's right! Today's world is no longer divided among heroes. Yuan Shao in Hebei, Cao Cao in the Central Plains, Sun Ce in Jiangdong, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Ma Teng and Han Sui in Yongliang Prefecture."
"Yuan Shao has already started a fierce battle with Cao Cao, and I believe it won't take long to decide the winner. Now that Yizhou has been recuperating for five years, it's already time to show off its claws!"
In Liu Zhang's opinion, now is the best time to send troops.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were locked in a stalemate at Guandu, and no one cared about Liu Zhang's movements.
Liu Biao and Sun Ce had a vengeance for killing their father, and the two sides were also at war with each other. Liu Biao would definitely not offend Liu Zhang at this time.
"What my lord said is absolutely true. I am willing to be a pioneer and expand the territory for the Lord!"
Liu Zhang's eyes were touched. Unexpectedly, Lu Su had just stepped into Chengdu and took the initiative to challenge Liu Zhang.
"Zijing, you have been working hard for five years, it's time to rest! How can I bear it if I let you run around again?"
Fortunately, there are many advisers under his command now, and Liu Zhang can also let Lu Su take a proper rest, otherwise he would be inseparable!
However, Lu Su had no intention of taking a rest, and instead looked at Liu Zhang very seriously.
"My lord, I have come thousands of miles to join you, not to come to Yizhou to enjoy the blessings! If my lord is really distressed for me, why not calm down the world as soon as possible, so that Lu Su can disband his troops and return to his fields, and he can live a good life in the future!"
"well!"
If Lu Su had such fighting spirit, how could Liu Zhang not agree to it as he wished?
"Don't worry, Zijing, you will be indispensable in the Northern Expedition!"
"Thank you, lord!"
"I heard that my lord issued a recruitment order to the world a few years ago. I wonder if there will be any gains?"
Liu Zhang's eyes suddenly twitched, his expression darkened, and he couldn't help but complain to Lu Su in his heart!
It’s really hard to pick up any pot!
"Hey! I thought I could recruit some talents from all over the world, but who knew that except for some talents from Yizhou, I didn't find any talents from other counties!" When it came to the request for talents, Liu Zhang became very depressed.
In recent years, many people have come to Yizhou to seek refuge in Yizhou, but most of them are mediocre people, and the most capable ones are only talents from one county.
For example, the famous Guanzhong people Shejian and Sheyuan in history, Yizhou people Cheng Ji and so on.
However, Fazheng, Meng Da, Li Yan and others who were supposed to have voted for Yizhou long ago, now none of them showed up.
Liu Zhang was always glad in his heart that he had captured Lu Su and Liu Ye in advance. Otherwise, he didn't know how long he would have to wait for Fazheng to come and surrender!
"My lord, Yizhou is remote and hard-won. When we reach the Central Plains, talents from all over the world will flock to us!"
Lu Su had already guessed this result. After all, there were only a few people like him who could move their families thousands of miles to Yizhou.
If Liu Zhang hadn't actively recruited him, he would have faced the risk of not being taken seriously by Liu Zhang.
Therefore, it is difficult for people with a little bit of assets or family background to surrender.
"That's all it can do..."
Without talent, Liu Zhang really had no choice but to accept the reality helplessly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a soldier suddenly ran to Liu Zhang's side.
"My lord, General Taishi Ci invites my lord to go to the martial arts field."
Liu Zhang raised his eyebrows, feeling doubtful in his heart.
Didn't Tai Shi Ci just leave? Why is there something happening so soon?
Seeing Liu Zhang's expression, Lu Su was filled with doubts.
"Lord, where is this martial arts arena?"
Lu Su had not been back to Chengdu for five years, so he naturally did not know the purpose of this place. Liu Zhang quickly explained to him.
"After the order to seek talents was issued, a martial arts arena and a discussion hall were specially set up in Chengdu to receive talents from all over the world."
"I've been to the Lunce Hall a few times, but there aren't any amazing talents. As for the martial arts arena... Taishi Ci has never asked me to go there..."
The more Liu Zhang thought about it, the more embarrassed he became. He had never been there before, which meant that the people who came could not even catch Tai Shici's eyes! It also meant that he had no talent!
"My lord, maybe there will be a great talent today!"
Liu Zhang's eyes lit up, he smiled and nodded.
Taishi Ci must have known that he was staying with Lu Su. If he wasn't really a talented person, he would definitely not be in such a hurry to find him.
"Isn't today a double happiness?"
If there are really talented people coming to invest, this is indeed a good sign for the Northern Expedition.
"Lord, we'll find out as soon as we get there!"
"Walk!"
Liu Zhang did not hesitate and immediately took Lu Su to the martial arts arena.
The martial arts arena was not too far from the main camp in the north of the city, and it took the two of them less than a quarter of an hour to arrive at the martial arts arena.
Dang Dang Dang...!
The sound of weapons kept coming, and Taishi Ci was fighting with someone. Judging from the looks on their faces, both sides were very serious.
"Ah! It's him!"
Liu Zhang exclaimed, he never expected that this person could come to Yizhou!
