After paying homage to Lu Su's grandmother, Lu Su immediately entertained the potter in the living room.

The potter was also uninvited this time.

It stands to reason that this is really abrupt, but he is really worried that Lu Su will return to Chaohu after the funeral, and it is likely that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce will be cheaper at that time.

Potters are reluctant to cheap enemies.

Lu Su was one year older than the potter, so the potter exported as a brother.

"Brother Zijing finished the funeral this time, when do you plan to leave?"

Lu Su waved his hand when he heard this, and he didn't even dare to say it, but he didn't dare to pretend to be a brother in front of the potter.

After a little politeness, Fang listened to Lu Su and said: "The original intention of Zai Xia was to return to the nest at the beginning of next month, but now that Taifu is coming to the door in person, it is very likely that I will not be able to go back." ”

The potter smiled when he heard this.

It's not tiring to talk to smart people.

Lu Su is a smart person, he saw that there was only one surname on the post sent by the potter, and when his head moved, he knew that the other party was the Taifu of the current dynasty, and he was also the governor of Xuzhou and Yangzhou.

As one of the few princes in the world, the pottery merchant naturally would not run to Dongcheng to mourn his grandmother who he didn't know, and his real purpose should be himself.

Although I don't know where the potter found out about him, Lu Su is still quite shocked in his heart at the moment.

The potters rushed all the way from Pengcheng to Dongcheng, which shows how much the potters attach importance to him.

As the so-called scholar dies for his confidant, and a woman is for the person who pleases himself, the potter's move is quite a bit of Zhou Gong's feeling of spitting and feeding.

For Lu Su, the potters are much stronger than Sun Ce in terms of power, strength, reputation and recent behavior, and now such a heroic figure has found himself, although Lu Su is quite self-assured, but he also feels that the potter is the one who can really show his talent compared to Sun Ce.

Before going into details, Lu Su already had a seven-point decision.

Tao Shang looked at Lu Su and said with a smile: "Zijing is right, I can't hide it, it was Tao's left-hand virtuous minister Chen Deng who recommended my brother to me." ”

When Lu Su heard this, he suddenly said, "It turned out to be him." ”

Tao Shang nodded and said: "I have heard that Zijing is a wise person, and he is a genius in the world, Tao came from afar to meet, and sincerely asked his son to respect his brother for guidance, and asked my brother not to refuse me thousands of miles away." ”

Seeing that the potter said so politely, Lu Su hurriedly said, "Don't dare!" Can't! The name of the Taifu gentleman is all over the world, how dare Su be strong in front of the Taifu? If the Taifu has an inquiry, he will definitely know everything. ”

Tao Shang smiled and said bluntly: "Dare to ask Brother Zijing, from your point of view, in the future, Tao is in the land of ten counties in the two southeastern states, how should he deal with himself?" Xuzhou and Yangzhou, what will be the way out in the future? ”

Lu Su saw that the potter didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and came up to ask such a sensitive question directly, obviously treating himself as a dish, and he was a little excited and a little moved in his heart.

He smoothed out his thoughts, and then said to Tao Shang: "I heard that Taifu has subdued the old generals of Huainan, and the power is getting stronger and stronger, and now Yuan Shao has begun to send troops to subdue Qingzhou and Youzhou, in Su's foolish opinion, after Yuan Shao wins Hebei, he will inevitably go to the Central Plains and Xuzhou in the north and the desert, and go south to the Central Plains and Xuzhou. ”

The potter felt that it was reasonable, and he could not hope that when he fought with Yuan Shao in the future, there would really be a loss of the nest.

The torrent of history has already changed the direction of flow, and who dares to guarantee that Yuan Shao will definitely make another mistake.

"Then according to Brother Zijing's opinion, what should Tao do?"

Lu Su cleared his throat and said to Tao Shang: "There are four things that Taifu has to do at the moment, the first thing is to immediately select a person who is good at planning and soldiering, clear out the bandits in Jiangdong, and strive to fight with Yuan Shao in the future, so that there will be no mistakes in the rear." ”

This statement is roughly similar to his original intention of coming here, and it is indeed the same as what the wise man sees.

"What about the second one?" The potter asked again.

"Taifu has to find a way to form a family with the Son of Heaven."

"Marrying the Son of Heaven?" The potter had never thought about it.

Lu Su smiled and said: "Yuan Shao's strength and territory are only one of them, the reason why Yuan Shao is not short of talents is because the important cronies under his command are all important scholars in the north, Yuan Shao is the lord of the Yuan clan in Runan, and he is also the lord of the princes' alliance, and his protégés are all over the world, and the political height is very accessible, not to exaggerate Yuan Shao, if Taifu does not want to improve his political influence at this moment, it is very likely that in the process of fighting with him, there will be Xuzhou's scholars who defected to Yuan, the most direct way at the moment, It is to make the Tao family a royal prince, so that the Danyang Tao family can also be regarded as a relative, which can be used to stabilize the Xuzhou Shi clan in wartime. ”

Lu Su really deserves to be Lu Su, in a word!

In history, because Cao Cao obtained the Son of Heaven, he was able to obtain the political height of suppressing Yuan Shao and confront him.

Even so, before the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao married all his three daughters to Liu Xie and won the respect of the imperial family.

Fighting a war is nothing more than fighting soldiers, but also fighting the heart, politics, and the background.

That's where the details come in.

Lu Su is worthy of being a good designer.

The potter strengthened his determination to make Lu Su his right-hand man, and continued: "What about the third piece? ”

Lu Su said calmly: "It's hard to support one-armed, the third thing Taifu has to do is to temporarily turn enemies into friends with Cao Cao, not to seek an alliance, but at least to echo things." ”

The potter frowned when he heard this.

This thing doesn't seem to be easy to do, he just broke his wrist with Cao Cao not long ago, and he is still calculating Zhang Xiu.

After a while, the potter said: "Cao Cao and I have fought several times, although we had a relationship in the past, but after many years of fierce fighting, I am afraid that he may not be willing to help me." ”

Lu Su shook his head and said: "It's not to help you, it's to help himself, if Yuan Shao goes south, the first person to bear the brunt is in the Central Plains, if Cao Cao is smart, he should also know that with his own strength, it will definitely be difficult to resist Yuan Shao, and you must cooperate with the two of you to be evenly matched with Yuan Shao." ”

The potter squinted his eyes and pondered quietly for a moment.

"I remember this, but whether it succeeds or not, it depends on Cao Cao's attitude...... Brother Zijing said the fourth. ”

Lu Su bowed slightly and said, "The fourth thing is that if I am a Taifu, I will definitely be careful to guard against Liu Biao in Jingzhou." ”

Lu Su's words really pierced the hearts of the potters.

He sighed and said, "This matter is the most headache for me right now, the last time the secretary Lang Xu Jing came back from Jiaozhi County, he brought me a piece of news, that is, Liu Biao is secretly colluding with Yuan Shao right now...... This matter is very difficult to do, Liu Biao's power is different from ordinary princes, Jingzhou's strength is extremely strong, once he falls to Yuan Shao, I may be the enemy at that time. ”

Lu Su stroked his clean short beard and said, "Then what is Taifu going to do with Liu Biao?" ”

The potter shook his head helplessly and said, "There is no other good way...... Liu Biao is also my ally, and I want to send someone to give him a heavy gift, but there is no other way. ”

Lu Su smiled lightly and sighed: "I'm afraid it's difficult, back then, Liu Biao and Taifu formed an alliance, just to deal with Yuan Shu to take back Nanyang County, now Yuan Shu is dead, Nanyang County has been gained, and Jiangdong and Jingzhou are really too close, Taifu's power is like a tiger, for Jingzhou like a tiger on the side, Liu Biao also wants to use Yuan Shao's hand to weaken you, or even perish to you, in order to seek peace in Jingzhou...... How will he continue to join forces with you? ”

The potter laughed self-deprecatingly.

Lu Su's words, he naturally understood, but he couldn't think of a good solution.

Speaking of conscience, when Yuan Shao went south, if Liu Biao was a moth, the potter felt that he was basically dead.

"Is there any way Zijing can help me solve this dilemma?" The potter looked at Lu Sudao expectantly.

Lu Su nodded and said, "There is one person who may help Taifu share his worries." ”

The potter hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”

Lu Su solemnly said to Tao Shang: "Today's Changsha Taishou Zhang Xian, is from the Nanyang Shi clan, successively served as Lingling, Guiyang Taishou, and now is the official to Changsha Taishou, his people in Jingnan won the hearts of the people, this person is very talented, but unfortunately there is a problem, that is, the character is stubborn, I heard that he and Liu Biao have always been not harmonious, if you can say that this person is ...... Entangled in the four southern counties and rebelled against Liu Biao, Liu Biao was full of internal troubles and had no time to deal with the outside world. ”

The potter's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Zhang Xian is just a Changsha Taishou...... Can it also drive the rest of the three southern counties? ”

Lu Su nodded affirmatively: "Zhang Xian's prestige and power in Jingnan are far better than Liu Biao, precisely because his power is deeply rooted in Jingnan, although he has repeatedly resisted for so many years, Liu Biao has no way to take him...... If Zhang Xian can oppose Liu Biao in the south of Jingzhou, Taifu will find a way to mobilize Sun Ce and Lu Bu to attack Jiangxia County...... After all, Huang Zu is the person of Sun Ce's blood hatred, Sun Bofu's blood is strong, can his father's revenge not be avenged? At that time, Liu Biao will worry about internal and external troubles, and the crisis in Jiangdong will be solved. ”

Speaking of this, he saw Lu Su bowing to the pottery merchant and said, "If you do these four strategies, Taifu will have the foundation to fight with Yuan Shao!" ”

Lu Su immediately finalized the most urgent situation at the potter's moment, which shocked the potter.

A capable person is really a capable person, and it really is not covered!

He hugged his fist towards Lu Su and said, "Brother Zijing is so talented, it's a pity to be buried between the mountain springs!" If I don't give up, Tao is willing to worship my brother as the general of Hengjiang, and the military and political leaders of Pingshan Yue in the governor's territory will help me, and please don't shirk my brother! ”
