"You...... Are you Liu Zheng, who has just become emperor? ”

Liu Zheng's fame, near Huainan and Xuzhou, is really too loud, Liu Ye and Lu Su have heard of it.

It's just that they didn't know before that Zhou Yu was Liu Zheng's apprentice.

And even if he knew that Zhou Yu was Liu Zheng's apprentice, he didn't think that he would see the famous Liu Zheng here.

"I didn't expect that the two young heroes had actually heard my name, which really flattered me."

Liu Zheng also expressed his humility, and opened his mouth to Lu Su and Liu Ye, in Liu Zheng's heart, he made up his mind that he wanted to include these two people under his command, so naturally he couldn't be too arrogant and displeased the other party.

"Of course I've heard of it, there is anyone around here who hasn't heard of the adult's name, it's a rare thing, it's what surprised me, I didn't expect me to be able to meet Liu Zhengda...... Such a big man as His Majesty. ”

Lu Su originally wanted to call Liu Zheng an adult, but after thinking about it, now that Liu Zheng has been proclaimed emperor, he still wants to call Liu Zheng His Majesty.

Although Liu Zheng's throne cannot be recognized by everyone, at least, in front of Liu Zheng, Lu Su and Liu Ye still don't have much disgust with Liu Zheng.

Compared with Huainan and Xiapi, these two places were places where Liu Zheng once ruled for a period of time.

Here, Liu Zheng's reputation is still very high, because before Liu Zheng ruled here, the people of the imperial court occupied this place and extorted tyranny from the people, although the people had no opinions at that time, that was because there was no comparison.

After Liu Zheng occupied these two places, although it was not for a long time, he exempted the people here from a lot of taxes, making the lives of the local people better and happier.

In particular, the imperial examination system created by Liu Zheng allows people like Lu Su to participate in it and get official positions, which is a way to be promoted, which is much fairer than the Han Dynasty's filial piety and honesty system.

From several aspects, Lu Su and Liu Ye have no rejection of Liu Zheng.

"What kind of big man is my Liu Zheng, but two heroes, I value it very much, the battle between Fang and my disciple is quite disciplined, it is a rare talent, I don't know if I am interested, come to my court?"

Now that Liu Zheng is in this position, if he wants to recruit talents, he doesn't need to beat around the bush, just get straight to the point, if the other party is interested, Liu Zheng will personally invite him, and the other party will probably not refuse.

If he refuses, then Liu Zheng also knows that the other party is not very willing to succumb to him, and it is not interesting to talk about it any longer.

"My lord, the two of us are valued so much, it is to make the two of us feel very happy, Liu Ye is willing to serve the adult!"

Lu Su didn't say yes yet, but Liu Ye directly agreed.

It's not that Lu Su is unwilling to take refuge in Liu Zheng, but that he is different from Liu Ye.

Although Liu Ye is a relative of the Han family, when it comes to Liu Ye's generation, there is actually no title, at most it is a wealthy family, and he Liu Ye is the second son, so he can't inherit anything in the family, and he has to rely on himself for everything.

And Lu Su is different, Lu Su's family is in Dongcheng County, but it is a big family, although Lu Su lost his father when he was a teenager, but the money accumulated in the family for several lifetimes is a lot, just for grain, there are several rice warehouses.

Historically, Zhou Yu was able to go to him to borrow food, and it is conceivable that Lu Su's status in Dongcheng.

Moreover, Huainan, where Liu Ye is located, is Liu Zheng's territory, and now with Liu Zheng's direct invitation, Liu Ye can directly enter the official career without passing the imperial examination, which is exactly what Liu Ye can't ask for, so how can he refuse.

And Lu Su is different, the east city where Lu Su is located is close to Xuzhou, although it was also Liu Zheng's territory before, but now it is not.

is in the border area, if Lu Su takes refuge in Liu Zheng, then Lu Su's family in Dongcheng will be targeted by the people of the imperial court.

So Lu Su was pondering what his family should do.

At this time, Liu Zheng heard Liu Ye say that he was willing to take refuge, and his face was suddenly happy.

Immediately answered loudly.

"Okay, Mr. Liu Ye, you really have a vision."

"What does Mr. Lu Su think?"

Liu Zheng immediately looked at Lu Su on the side.

Lu Su hesitated, but agreed.

"Your Majesty, Lu Su is also willing, but ......"

Lu Su agreed, but there was still something to say.

"Mr. Lu Su has something to say!"

"It's just that my family is still in Dongcheng, if I take refuge in adults, my family ......"

"It's just a trivial matter, Mr. Lu Su, as much as you can arrange for your family to stay in Wu County."

After getting Liu Zheng's arrangement, Lu Su, who was still a little worried, naturally did not have any worries, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, Lu Su is willing to serve the dogs and horses!"

After getting the replies of Lu Su and Liu Ye, everyone was happy, and Liu Zheng finally had a smile on his face, and he planned to return to Xuyi City with Lu Su and Liu Ye.

But at this time, Lu Su spoke again.

"My lord, I can't just leave to join you now."

"Huh?"

"We are training here, and there is one more important thing to do."

"What?"

"Liu Ye and I are training Xiangyong here, in fact, we want to deal with Zheng Bao, a big water thief in Hongze Lake."

Lu Su told the truth of the matter at this time.

It turned out that near this Dongcheng County, there were some powerful clan forces. Because Liu Zheng and the imperial court are at war in this vicinity, it is inevitable that it will not be possible to take care of all the places at the same time, and it has become a zone of no return, which will naturally breed some powerful forces.

Among them, there will be several forces gathered near Chaohu Lake and Hongze Lake, such as Xu Gan, Zhang Duo, and Zheng Bao.

And Zheng Bao, the most powerful of them, gathered more than 10,000 people near Hongze Lake, and once reached the point of attacking the town.

Zheng Bao's subordinates would send people to Dongcheng to sweep if they had no food, because they didn't dare to go to Liu Zheng's territory, nor did they dare to go to the places of the imperial court, and those places in the middle became Zheng Bao's target.

Lu Su was originally just a rich second generation with a little money in his family, but when Zheng Bao came to ransack Dongcheng, he could only stand up and organize some young people in the township to start fighting against Zheng Bao.

After coming and going, he formed some grudges with Zheng Bao, and now the grudges are getting bigger and bigger, so Zheng Bao is already gathering people and preparing to attack Dongcheng.

In order to fight against Zheng Bao, Lu Su could only train people to deal with Zheng Bao's attack.

Now that Lu Su is gone, Dongcheng must be finished.

After listening to Lu Su's words, Liu Zheng didn't care at all.

"It's just such a small thing, I'll help you settle it!"
