That night, Li Su came to the outside of the coalition camp with gold and silver treasures, and after reporting his name, he was not able to enter, but Lu Bu came out to contact him.

"Qingyong, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come unharmed!" Lu Bu and Li Su knew each other before, and they were fellow villagers, so they came to meet him, "How have you been mixing recently?" ”

I think that back then, Li Su was still in Wuyuan, and his family was a wealthy family in Yonghan County, but he himself was willing to associate with the heroes of Wuyuan County, and naturally he also had an intersection with Lu Bu. Even, in the early days, when Lu Bu was most difficult, he was helped by Li Su.

The two were not only comparable, but they had also been kind to Lu Bu before, so after deducting the hostile positions of the two sides, Lu Bu had no reason not to come to see him.

"It's average, it's just that under Dong Zhuo, he became a cavalry captain. It is said that he may be promoted later, but he just hopes to be a general. Bongxian, what about you? "Li Su hasn't returned to Wuyuan for too long, and he is a little closed to the news over there.

He was guarding Dong Zhuo in Hedong before, so he didn't know about Lu Bu.

"Under the command of Liu Tao, the general of the expedition to the north, he was the general of Pingdi." Lu Bu said proudly, "I directly control tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is estimated that there will be changes when I go back this time." ”

Li Su opened his mouth when he heard this, and wanted to show off, who knew that the other party's achievements were higher than him. Now he was a little entangled, and he said that he wanted to give Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu to the past, but now it seems that it is a bit difficult.

"Fengxian, what do you think of the world's heroes?" Li Su tried to ask, "As far as this coalition army is concerned......

"Except for the lord, they are all rabble, not worth mentioning!" Lu Bu replied casually.

"Then Feng Xian knows, why did I join Dong Zhuo's command?" Li Su could only change the subject.

"Well, so-and-so is indeed a little curious." When Lu Bu heard this, he was a little curious.

"Dong Zhuo was born in a good family, and all his exploits were killed on the battlefield, and he made real contributions. He started from the end of the world, and naturally knows that there are heroes who are reckless. Employing people is only for talent, not about background. Li Su replied.

"Well, Dong Zhuo's character is indeed very appetizing to me!" Lu Bu nodded, "It's about the same as the lord!" ”

Liu Tao is the real hodgepodge, and there are talents from all backgrounds. There are those from the family, there are also those who are reckless, and even old border soldiers like them, or officials who were originally merged with the state, as long as he thinks he can use them, he will reuse them.

Like Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, the two of them are really not high, Liu Tao thinks that the two are talented, and they will be reused if they are reused. Hehe, I suddenly remembered the situation when I first met and proposed to recruit myself, and in retrospect, I felt a little proud.

It's just that Li Su's expression is ugly, and Dong Zhuo's biggest advantage seems to be gone.

"Liu Tao is a relative of the Han family in the end, and there may have been few talents in the past, as long as it is talented, it will be used. can be called the king and the emperor later, but you still have to reuse the children of the family, what virtue does the clan have, don't you and I still know? Li Su had no choice but to belittle Liu Tao first as a follow-up foreshadowing.

"Qingyong, there is no need to say this kind of thing again!" Lu Bu's tone suddenly cooled, "Meritocracy has always been the standard of employment implemented by the lord, and he even cultivates talents by himself, threatening to recruit talents through examinations in the future, and no longer rely on local recommendations to select talents." Therefore, the background will no longer have an advantage in the future, and how much talent there is is is in fact is the key! ”

After a pause, he continued: "So if you continue to belittle the lord, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" ”

Li Su didn't expect that Lu Bu would be so loyal to Liu Tao. No, no, maybe what he said is true, this Liu Tao is really eclectic in using talents, and really ignores the origin of talents?

Not to mention, he was even a little cautious. At the same time, I was a little annoyed, why didn't I meet Liu Tao earlier.

"Fengxian, tell you the truth......" Li Su felt that it was better to confess, Lu Bu was brave and studious, but for the bends of communication, in the final analysis, his emotional intelligence was a little low, and he couldn't react to the big bends.

After a pause, he continued: "Dong Xiangguo sent me to convince you and join him. He is now ready to become emperor, and the Liangzhou and Guanzhong regions are already in his hands. When the time comes, you will pass Hangu and ascend the throne as the emperor, and you will be crowned a general, not to mention, you can also be crowned a king! ”

immediately took out all the gold, silver and jewelry, indicating that this was a little caution on the part of Dong Xiangguo.

"Is Hangu Pass difficult to fight? How is it better than the Tiger Prison? Lu Bu didn't even look at those jewels, he followed Liu Tao to invest, and he made a lot of money, plus the future is bright, it doesn't lie in Dong Zhuo's little favor at all.

Especially what is a king and a general, it is all verbal things. A force that is about to fall, unless it is to treat him as the emperor, maybe he can still think about it.

Li Su's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this, the Tiger Prison Xiongguan, who had just defeated Sun Jianbu in front, and the heroes in the back officially attacked the city, but he didn't defend it for a day, so he was beaten down.

Although Hangu Pass is more majestic, it is really difficult to say, and it is really bottomless. Dong Zhuo had to stay in Luoyang and drag the main force of the coalition army, on the one hand, he transported all the money and everything to Hangu Pass, and on the other hand, he mainly strengthened the defense of Hangu Pass.

After doing this, he can escape if he can, and if he can't escape, he will naturally have to pull a few cushions!

Being able to have such an awareness also means that Dong Zhuo has nothing left to play with the cards in his hand.

"Qingyong, you and I are both from Wuyuan, so I'm not afraid to tell you." Lu Bu looked at Li Su, "My lord is a child of the immortal family, not only can he live the flesh and bones of the dead, but also make us invulnerable, water and fire." Break through Luoyang, and then enter Guanzhong to annihilate Dong Zhuo's troops, but it is a matter of time. ”

Li Su's expression was a little strange, and he did hear that Liu Tao was a disciple of the Immortal Family in private, but if it was so magical, who knows. In general, as a lobbyist, exaggerating strength is also a normal operation.

But there is one thing that cannot be ignored, that is, if the coalition forces continue to maintain their previous combat effectiveness, then it is really only a matter of time before Luoyang is conquered and even Hangu Pass is broken.

"You and I are a party in my country, and you have been kind to me before." Lu Bu looked at Li Su, "I'll show you a clear path here, when you attack the city outside, open the city gate inside and welcome us in, that is naturally a great achievement, and later I recommend you to the lord's command, no matter how I pull you!" ”

After a pause, he continued: "My lord, the Southern Huns have been subdued by him, Xianbei has to compromise, open border trade with him, he will inevitably be able to sweep the eight wildernesses, dominate the world, and prosper the Yanhan!" It's too late to defect now! ”

"Wow, I came here to be a lobbyist, but I didn't expect you to become a lobbyist!" Li Su also reacted and exclaimed.

"That is, you and I are fellow villagers, otherwise you think it is necessary for me to tell you this?" Lu Bu gave him a blank look, "Wouldn't it be beautiful to take Luoyang down like this, and we will have the credit alone?" Whether you join or not doesn't have much effect on us! ”

Li Su gritted his teeth, instinctively telling him that what Lu Bu said was right, but he was not happy in his heart.

After thinking about it, he finally tried to ask: "If I devote myself to Liu Tao's command, can I be given the position of captain?" ”

"Look at how much merit you have made, I can't say that the credit is enough, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to give you a waiting prayer!" Lu Bu said with a smile, anyway, what he promised verbally, he didn't just open it casually.

"How much credit can you make...... I have a thousand cronies under my command, and many of them are the team I pulled over from Wuyuan. It is these 1,000 people that are the key to my becoming a cavalry captain. Li Su sighed.

Under Dong Zhuo's command, if you want to get ahead, you need to fight with real knives and guns, or you can provide soldiers. Anyway, without ability, it is not easy to rise under Dong Zhuo.

Li Su's ability to fight can only be said to be average, a little brain, but he is not a strategist. Governing politics naturally does not have much experience, and it can be said that it is at most a middle-aged person.

Strictly speaking, it is a sequence of Liu Ge, but in this sequence, he belongs to the bottom part. As for Liu Ge, it is still very possible for him and Shangguan Yu to work hard for a while and become the generals of the town guarding side.

"It's very difficult for me to secretly open the gate of Luoyang City!" Li Su reminded, "The city gates are all controlled by Dong Zhuo's cronies, and we can't approach them at will. And Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, Li Ru, has shrewd eyes, and the slightest carelessness will reveal flaws. ”

After thinking about it, he continued: "At most, I will pull out a thousand of my people and go to Liu Zhoumu!" ”

"That'...... It is estimated that the lord will promise you a captain or something. Lu Bu thought about it and replied, and added in his heart by the way: And he is also a miscellaneous captain.

In the final analysis, according to the establishment of the Han Dynasty, there are only a few permanent captains. The problem is that everyone is expanding the army, so it is understandable to set up some miscellaneous generals, miscellaneous captains or something.

If you really want to count, isn't he, General Pingdi, also a miscellaneous general?

It's just that Lu Bu just looked away: it doesn't matter if it is a miscellaneous general or not, the real power that he really controls is real!

"Fengxian, you give me a thorough ......" Li Su was still a little entangled, "Liu Tao, is he really a disciple of the Immortal Family, he really knows magic?" ”

"You don't believe you can wait in Luoyang, anyway, when the city is broken, it's too late for you to surrender. If you surrender, it is estimated that there will be no good position for you, at most you will start from the military waiting. Lu Bu said indifferently.

After saying that, he actually planned to get up and leave, and didn't give Li Su a chance to think about it at all.

Li Su was a little anxious when he heard this, he naturally knew the difference between the uprising and the surrender after the war. Liu Tao really knows how to spell, so he can't say that he will be able to defeat Luoyang smoothly, and it will be done in a very short time.

I really have to wait until that time to choose to surrender, and my thousand soldiers and horses will not only have to lose it, but it is estimated that it will not be able to mix up any good position. Li Su, who wanted to be an official and wanted to go crazy, had to make a choice.

"Fengxian, Fengxian, don't worry, I won't say I won't run...... In this way, I will go back and order all the troops and horses, as an internal response, you attack the city, and we will help you internally, how about it? Li Su immediately set his conditions.

It's not good to defect now, whether these thousand people can get out of the city smoothly is a matter of two words.

"I'll take you to talk to the lord, how it is, see how the lord and the military advisor arrange. Regardless of the outcome, it never hurts to let you and your lord get to know each other first, right? Lu Bu immediately came over and wanted to take Li Su over.

"These jewels ......," Li Su also wanted to say, and these jewels were to be used as a greeting gift.

"Let's talk about it after we meet, the lord is very rich, and I guess I can't look down on your jewelry!" Lu Bu replied casually.
