Lu Yi asked again: "Then you should have met Yuan Shu and experienced the time of Chen Wen, the former governor of Yangzhou. What do you think of today's Yangzhou compared to the time of Yuan and Chen?"
Lu You said almost without thinking: "Just seeing the atmosphere of Shouchun, it's a long way to win!"
"That's it."
Lu Yi said: "I, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty in the first year of Hu Hai, responded to Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising in Peixian County. In just two years, I was able to go directly to Guanzhong and arrived at Bashang before the other princes. I ordered the Prince of Qin to ride on a plain chariot.
, rode a white horse, tied his neck with a ribbon, held a jade seal in his hand, and knelt down by the Zhi Road to welcome him. From then on, Bao Qin died. It took another two years to defeat the arrogant overlord Xiang Yu."
At this point, Lu Yi paused, looked around, and said meaningfully: "Gentlemen, it only took Wang Zhoumu four years from the uprising to defeating Sun Ce, Yuan Shu and others."
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and couldn't help but look thoughtful. Lu Hao even blurted out: "According to what the eldest brother said, Wang Zhoumu and Emperor Gao are quite similar. Then Sun Ce was chosen by me because of his bravery.
Do you call Jiangdong the "little bully"?"
"More than just this similarity?"
Lu Yi said in a deep voice: "I, the current lord of Yangzhou, was born as a commoner like Emperor Gao, and I also loved the people like a son, and was magnanimous. I also spent the same four years defeating the powerful enemy Sun Ce who was entrenched in Jiangdong.
, Yuan Shu and others, what does this mean? It means that Wangzhou Mu has talents and strategies that can rival Emperor Gao!"
"From the time he rose up by slaying the white snake to conquering the princes and unifying the world, it only took Emperor Gao a mere seven years. So how long will it take for Wangzhou Mu?"
Is this really comparing Wang Zheng and Liu Bang?
Lu Yi said: "The Zhou Mu just pacified the two counties of Jiangdong not long ago. It is very likely that troops will be used against Jingzhou next. If troops are used against Jingzhou, Lujiang will become the front line of the war. I think there will be opportunities to make meritorious deeds!"
"Xiang Yu had unparalleled courage and was the most powerful prince in the troubled times of the late Qin Dynasty. After defeating Xiang Yu, Emperor Gao had no chance to resist him. But what about the world today? There are Yuan Shao of Jizhou in the north, Cao Cao of Xudu, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou in the south.
Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Ma Teng, Han Sui and others in the northwest are all heroes of the day, and none of them are easier to deal with than Sun Ce."
"Why did Bo Yan say this?"
As he was approaching the door, Lu Yi's voice suddenly came from behind him, "I almost forgot, there is one little thing I haven't mentioned yet."
"Join the military?"
"I see."
"Great kindness!"
"But since Wang Zhoumu is competing for supremacy, and we, the Lu family, have chosen Allah, it would be a pity if we only seek wisdom under this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We must know that if God does not take it, we will suffer the consequences!
"
This makes sense, but Lu Ji feels that no matter how hard he works, he is not as good as Guo Jia. The reason why Mi Heng is close to Wang Zheng is actually because he has never entered the system's team!
There are always two sides to everything. Although the system prevented Wang Zheng from doing internal intrigues, it actually made him more and more like a guessing master, and his level of suspicion was almost as high as that of Cao Cao.
After all, Cao Cao's suspicion is just a guess, but Wang Zheng's guess is well-targeted. You said you are a loyal minister? Then why didn't I receive an application to join the team?
Obviously your "loyalty" is questionable!
The most important of the two is the former. Trust must come first and then be reused.
Everyone was startled. If we take Emperor Liu Bang of the Han Dynasty as an example, there is nothing wrong with what Lu Yi said. After all, the important ministers in the early Han Dynasty, even those in charge of civil affairs, were actually deeply involved in the military. For example, Xiao He was in charge of logistics and supervised
In terms of food and grass, Zhang Liang was strategizing and often came up with strange plans.
The same is true for Chen Ping. When he was under Liu Bang's account, he was a lieutenant in the guard army. Just like Mi Fang of the Benming Division today, he was specifically responsible for intelligence work.
Therefore, if Lu Yi had not joined the army, even if he had joined the army and made contributions, he would have experienced Lu Ji's current worry and confusion all over again.
Lu Yi's analysis was quite reasonable, and everyone agreed, "What Boyan said makes sense, but will my uncle agree?"
Seeing that Lu Yi had made up his mind, after pondering for a moment, everyone expressed their opinions: "In that case, I will do as you say."
Lu You nodded slightly, he agreed with this, and he was not the only one. In the eyes of today's knowledgeable people, the person who will become the supreme leader in the future will probably be Yuan Shao and Wang Zheng.
Lu Yi raised his head high and let out a deep sigh of pride, "I want to join the army and rush to the front line. What do you think?"
"Haha, if Zhou Mu wants to raise a large army and march south to Jingzhou, it will probably take some time to prepare. I will be able to practice bows, horses and swords just in time. I heard that Zhou Gongjin is good at both civil and military skills, so I would like to ask for some advice."
Just kidding, Lu Yi is the most outstanding young talent of their generation. Lu Ji naturally wants to take him with him to train him. How could he be willing to let him follow Zhou Yu to Lujiang and the front line?
Lu Yi smiled slightly and said jokingly: "So when I see my uncle tomorrow, all brothers need to give me a helping hand."
"The reason why I insist on going and abandoning my writing to join the army is because of the current situation. Mingzhe can only protect his own life, but it is difficult to build a career by studying literature. The reason why I want to go to Lujiang with Zhou Yu is that on the one hand, there will be great opportunities in the future, but on the other hand,
Wang Zheng values this person very much!"
In fact, Lu Ji took the initiative to tell him this. It was better before. Wang Zheng also assigned some important matters to him and listened to Lu Ji's opinions when there were key meetings. However, since Zhang Zhao came to Shouchun, it has become less and less.
.
As soon as these words came out, not only Lu You, but also everyone on the side disagreed: "My uncle is the governor of Jiujiang. With such a high position and important responsibilities, why worry about not being able to make contributions and win the favor of the superiors?"
But Lu Yi didn't think so.
"How could my uncle not know about this?" Lu You said: "You see, ever since he became the prefect, he has been doing everything by himself and working day and night. Isn't it just that he wants to make some achievements and win the trust of Wang Zheng?"
Lu Yi sighed and said, "If you want to take further steps in the future, it will be extremely difficult."
Lu Yi said: "Although our uncle is young, he has far-sightedness. He was able to restrain himself under Yuan Shu's fierce power and pretend to submit to him, and then he was able to change Wangzhou Mu's family. He did so at two critical moments.
I made the most correct choice, which saved my Lu family from being defeated, and also saved your life. This is amazing, this is a wise and wise way of protecting yourself!"
Having said this, he looked at everyone again and said with a smile: "The same is true for you. Although scriptures can be passed down to a family and establish a career, they are useless in troubled times. Next, not only must we continue to study hard, but we must also practice bow and horse."
"In the past, my brother neglected to discipline you. If my brother cannot come back from this trip, you must take responsibility and help your uncle to contribute to the prosperity of my family."
Then he said to Lu You on the side: "Shu Xian, after I leave, you will be the oldest brother in our generation. Your temper is a little frivolous and frivolous. You can't be like this again in the future. Don't always be like this."
If it annoys your uncle, you must change it. You must be calm and steady. You must walk slowly and speak bluntly. Otherwise, it will be difficult for others to take you seriously."
"What does Boyan think?"
"That's it."
"There are opportunities to make meritorious deeds, but there are also great dangers."
Lu You was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly, "Bo Yan, the battlefield is extremely dangerous, and you don't have martial arts skills. You must be careful in the future."
This is true. Lu Ji is the governor of Jiujiang. Isn't it easy to promote his nephew?
"I just said it, step by step, but the path of moderation, what's the use of being a prefect like my uncle? At most, it's just a matter of raising food and grass. No matter how much credit you have, the Zhou Mu will only remember Zhang Zhao
That’s it!”
Lu Yi shook his head: "If you want to continue to gain Wangzhou Mu's trust, your uncle's position is no longer available."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize why Lu Yi came to them tonight. On the one hand, he wanted to confess his feelings, and on the other hand, he wanted to persuade them to help persuade Lu Ji.
The meaning of this warning was serious, so was the others, but with a complicated look on his face, his younger brother Lu Hao immediately became anxious, stepped forward and grabbed his clothes, with a cry in his voice: "In that case, brother
Then don't go. If you want to become an official and make meritorious service, ask your uncle to recommend you to the state pastor."
His younger brother Lu Hao asked in confusion: "Why did my brother change his name?"
"I know I was wrong." When Lu Hao shouted at him, he didn't dare to cry anymore.
Lu Yi shook his head: "This way will not allow you to participate deeply in the military, let alone achieve extraordinary achievements. If you achieve extraordinary achievements, you will have to take extraordinary risks. My uncle is already a prefect, so he cannot give up his future. I have not yet entered the official position. At my age
More importantly, I am naturally the one to do this risky thing."
"Idiot!"
But how to participate?
There were not many positions left for scholars around Wang Zheng, but now they were all occupied. Even Lu Ji couldn't take them, so what could they do?
Lu You said: "Bo Yan, how do you want to participate?"
Lu Yi said eloquently: "The rise of Zhou Mu is unstoppable. If our Lu family can seize the opportunity and rise with it, we can fulfill our ancestors' instructions and become a famous family in the world. We must join the military!"
"
"Join the army?"
Lu Yi's expression changed in surprise, and he waved away Lu Hao's hand and shouted sternly: "What? I just said so many words, didn't you even listen?"
Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Chairman Lu stood up and stood up with his hands behind his back: "I chose a new name for myself, Yue Xun, what do you think?"
Seeing that Lu You was still trying to tell the difference, Lu Yi smiled slightly and said loudly: "It's useless to talk more, let's wait and see, even if it goes beyond what I expected, you just said it yourself, admitting that Wangzhou's animal husbandry has risen, and now it is sitting on Xu and Yangzhou.
, it also gives you the opportunity to compete for supremacy in the world, right?"
One is that Lu Yi feels that there is not much "time" left for Lu Ji. The other is?
"If the ministers and founding emperors, those who are in charge of civil affairs, want to stand out and stay in the emperor's heart for a long time, they must be like Zhang Liang and Xiao He and be deeply involved in military and political affairs." Lu Yi sighed and said: "The former's position has been occupied by Guo Jia
Come on, the latter has Governor Zhang Zhao and other things to do. No matter how hard my uncle works, hey, I'm afraid he will have little effect."
After all, the only exception is Zhou Yu, who has no choice but to be Wang Zheng's idol in his previous life. With the bonus of emotional points, Wang Zheng may really be able to do it. Even if you don't join my system, I can still employ people without suspicion!
Lu You's expression changed slightly and he hesitated: "If you want to become an official, you can just tell your uncle. Why bother?"
"Regardless of anything else, Sun Ce is just a "little overlord". How can he be on par with Xiang Yu? Even with Yuan Shu, he is far inferior!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands. Everyone understood, bowed with complicated expressions, and immediately exited the door.
"If you are a prefect under the State Shepherd, you are naturally very important, but if you are a prefect under the emperor, it is not worth mentioning!"
Of course, when Lu Ji told Lu Yi about this, he also said that this was also a normal situation. After all, these people had more seniority than him and were quite capable. This situation was not surprising, and it was also
It shows that Wang Zheng is a person who attaches great importance to emotion and justice. As long as he continues to work hard for more time, I believe he can gain further trust from Wang Zheng and even be further reused.
Does that mean you will be called Lu Xun from now on?
"Except for Yuan Shao, who else is there? In my opinion, with Wangzhou Mu's current momentum and atmosphere, three years will be enough to wipe out all the princes and return a peaceful and prosperous age to the people of China."
"Hey, to put it bluntly, you have a greater chance of being with him than with your uncle. Do you understand? This plan is just for the future prosperity of our Lu family. You are also my son, no.
Thinking of this is a strong act for a brother, why should I imitate this woman?"
After getting along with each other for this period of time, smart people like Lu Ji have actually vaguely discovered that although Wang Zheng is kind and gentle to him on the surface, he still has reservations. It cannot be said that he does not trust him at all. But compared to Guo Jia, Zhang Zhao and even Mi Heng
As far as others are concerned, whether it is trust or respect, there is really not much.
"My uncle was able to get the position of prefect because he had made great achievements in Yangzhou before Long, and the state pastor wanted a lot of money to buy horse bones. That's why he did so."
"Yes, I went to see General Long Xiang Zhou Yu last night. He will go to Wancheng to take up his post in three days."
"With the current momentum of Zhou Mu, it can take as little as three years or as long as ten years to establish a stronghold in the Central Plains. This is also the last opportunity to make a contribution. How can we, a good man, miss this opportunity?"
Lu Yi nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said, "I left the city this time to serve my family. However, the war is fierce and dangerous, and the swords on the battlefield have no eyes. As a scholar, I have no confidence that I can escape unscathed.
What I tell you tonight, you must remember that if our Lu family wants to rise, we must participate in the military!"
Lu Yi's expression softened a little and he said to him: "As I said just now, twelve years old is not too old, but it is not too young either. You can no longer consider yourself childish in the future!"
Everyone looked at each other, and Lu You couldn't help but said: "Did Boyan exaggerate? Wang Zhoumu is indeed a hero and a wise king. I also think that he now has some chances to dominate the world, but can he achieve the great achievements of Emperor Gao?"
, it is still unknown.”
Lu Yi, or rather Lu Xun, smiled, walked to the window, opened it, faced the coming morning light, and said lightly: "I used to rely on my talent, but there was Pang Tong before me, and now there is Zhou Yu.
They are all talented national scholars."
"There are so many talented people in the world. It is better to maintain a humble attitude in the future, so I chose this name for self-examination."
Of course, this is not the real reason. The real reason is that Lu Xun had a very weird dream before.
In Miao Mang's dream, a god appeared and gave him a message, saying that this name would be beneficial to him in great things.
As for any major event, it is naturally how to get into the eyes of Wang Zheng!
