At the end of the Han Dynasty, the monarchy fell aside, and was replaced by countless wealthy gentry and noble clans.

All three of these are generally groups with some rights.

The family attaches great importance to cultural inheritance, and some are like the scholarly families of later generations.

The foundation of the gentry is shallow, but he has money and land, and there is a vote of people under his hands, similar to the local tyrants of later generations.

And the scholar clan is easier to explain, that is, the ancestors have been officials.

To summarize briefly, the gentry are rich, the scholars are famous, and the family is in between.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the scholars are poor, and the Lu Su that Zhang You wants to visit this time is a relatively rich scholar.

It is also strange that there is a layer of relationship in the late Han Dynasty.

In a family, there is an adult man, and it is this adult man who is in charge, which does not need to be detailed. However, once there is no adult man in the family, the head of the house becomes the oldest woman in the family.

Lu Su has no father since he was a child, although his mother is still alive, because of the relationship between his mother and a grandmother, he has been raised by his grandmother until he became an adult.

His biological mother, at best, played a role in taking care of his daily life, which is why Yang Man only mentioned his grandmother and not his mother before.

In this way, his feelings for his grandmother are undoubtedly deep.

Zhang You is not a doctor, so there is no good way to deal with birth, old age, sickness and death.

All he could do was to overlap the evaluation of Lu Su by later generations with what Yang Man said.

In fact, Lu Su has no direct relationship with Sun Wu, and a large part of the reason why he later defected to Sun Quan was because of a person's matchmaking, yes, that person was Zhou Yu.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were born in the same year, and because of their family relationship, the two can be said to have grown up wearing a pair of pants. Now that Sun Ce is in charge of Sun Wu, Zhang You has no way to deal with Zhou Yu at present.

Even if Sun Ce dies next year, the difficulty of subduing him will be hellish.

And Lu Su is different, the iron buddy of the iron buddy, the relationship is a little farther away, and with a wave of the hoe hard, maybe he can dig up this corner.

It is now 199, and there is still a year before Lu Su defects to Sun Quan, and his grandmother is also the descendant of cooking for a period of time in between, that is to say, Zhang You wants to subdue Lu Su, this is the last chance.

As Zhang You said, Dongcheng County is not far from Houqiu County.

Not long after, the two appeared at the door of Lu Su's house, which was more appropriate to say that it was not so much home as from the military camp.

The antlers at the entrance are very regular.

Five steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry. From time to time, a squad on duty passed by, which could be described as heavily guarded.

It seems that every soldier exudes a sense of fortitude.

"Who are the two of you, what are you doing here?"

As soon as Zhang You and the others appeared, they were discovered by a team of patrolling soldiers.

"I am Zhang You, the magistrate of Houqiu County, and I have heard of Lu Zijing's name for a long time, and I am here to visit today, and I hope to report it."

"So, you two, I'll report it later." The leading soldier replied without humility or arrogance.

At this moment, in Lu Su's house, he sat opposite a man.

Lu Su's appearance is very ordinary, but his eyes are very bright, his figure is not strong, and he faintly reveals a sense of toughness, which cannot be underestimated.

And the man sitting opposite him was much simpler, and it could be summed up in two words--- Qi Xian.

Whether it is appearance, temperament, or gestures, it gives people a feeling of almost perfection.

This person is Zhou Yu.

Coincidentally, now Zhang You is the magistrate of Houqiu County, but Zhou Yu was ordered by Yuan Shu to become the magistrate of Juchao County. The official positions of the two are the same, but their circumstances are very different.

Zhou Yu sighed: "Zijing, I'm ashamed to say that these three thousand grains will drag on for a while." ”

Lu Su waved his hand again and again: "You and I brothers, you don't have to be like this. ”

After that, he continued: "This Yuan technique, people with a discerning eye know that it is useless, and they still want to be the emperor, but it is bitter for Gongjin." ”

Zhou Yu's father, Zhou Shang, was originally Danyang Taishou, but after Yuan Shu became emperor in the second year of Jian'an, because he was not optimistic about Yuan Shu, he found an opportunity to resign from the position of Taishou.

Yuan Shu had seen Zhou Yu and thought about reusing it for him, but he was also rejected by Zhou Yu, but after all, his family was under Yuan Shu's rule, and it was not good to save his face, so Zhou Yu took the position of county magistrate of Juchao.

Zhou Yu is also very optimistic about Yuan Shu, for Lu Su's words, he agrees with it from the bottom of his heart, it is not difficult to imagine that with Zhou Yu's talent, leading a position of county magistrate in the nest, under the premise of no famine, he can't be self-sufficient, forcing him to ask Lu Su for help.

Take a peek and see the whole leopard, to what extent has Yuan Shu's rampant conquest been tyrannical!

Rao is like this, Zhou Yu still didn't say anything bad about Yuan Shu, Lu Su can scold casually, but he can't, after all, he works under Yuan Shu, and it has nothing to do with personal preferences, which has a lot to do with a person's upbringing.

Zhou Yu didn't answer, of course Lu Su knew why, he sighed, and then said: "But even such an unbearable Yuan Shu has still been the emperor for two years, and no one has crusaded against him so far, and the Han family is difficult to prosper." ”

The two are good friends, so Lu Su has no scruples when he speaks: "Fortunately, Yuan Shu's life is not long, in this world, it is not his turn to do it, Gongjin will be able to regain his freedom immediately, just for this reason, he can be a winner and drink the three whites." ”

Zhou Yu saw Lu Su say more and more, frowned and said, "Zijing." ”

Lu Su told Rao: "Okay, I don't say that Yuan Shu is, but it is a fact that the Han family is difficult to prosper, and it is a fact that it is stealing, and I can also discuss it with Gongjin today." I don't know what Gong Jin thinks, in this troubled world, who can stand proudly? ”

Regarding this question, Zhou Yu has obviously thought about it for a long time: "The Central Plains is full of heroes, but in my opinion, only Cao Yuan and the two can conquer the world. ”

At this point, he continued: "However, although this is the form, it is not absolute. ”

When he said this, Zhou Yu's face was full of confidence.

He believes that with his help, with Sun Ce's bravery, it may not be impossible to compete with these two!

Lu Su nodded, he naturally knew Zhou Yu's subtext, and he also believed that Zhou Yu had this ability, so he then spoke: "What does Gong Jin think, how is Lu Bu?" ”

"Although this person has courage, his reputation is too bad, and it is difficult to make achievements, and I am afraid that he will not die well." Zhou Yu replied without hesitation, and then, as if he remembered something, he continued: "Speaking of this, I was about to ask my son Jing, how this Lu Bu was able to repel Cao Cao is really intriguing." ”

Zhou Yu was his county magistrate at that time, so he didn't know what happened in it, and when he talked about it, he also asked the question in his heart.
