Chapter 909: Lu Su
Dongcheng now belongs to the Pi Kingdom, but in the early Eastern Han Dynasty, it belonged to Linhuai County, so it is recorded in the history books that Lu Su is a native of Linhuai Dongcheng. In fact, in this era, Linhuai County has long ceased to exist. During the Han and Jin dynasties, the three kingdoms were in dispute, the territory was uncertain, and the records were often confused.
Dongcheng is in the southeast of Dangtu, three hundred miles away, and there are some swamps in the middle. Xiang Yu was defeated in the battle that year, and he wanted to escape back to Jiangdong, but he got lost in the Yinling area, strayed into the swamp, and delayed time, so he was caught up by the Han army. Sun Ce planned to rush to Dongcheng to visit Lu Su at this moment, but Wu Jing strongly objected. He felt that Sun Ce was making a big fuss, and Lu Su was just a strong man, so it was not worth Sun Ce's trouble, just send a messenger.
Sun Ce did not accept Wu Jing's suggestion. If Lu Su was so easy to please, then he wouldn't be Lu Su. However, he didn't explain to Wu Jing, he just said that it was my first time to ride, and the long-distance rapid march was one of my drill items, and it was just a trip to Dongcheng by the way, not deliberately.
Wu Jing was suspicious and had to let him go. Looking at Sun Ce's hurried back, Wu Jingzhi shook his head.
"Young people are frizzy and don't know what to prioritize."
Sun Ce didn't know what Wu Jing thought of him, and he didn't care. This is the generation gap. Forty years old, middle-aged people at this age are in the best time of their lives, in the face of young juniors, they have experience and a certain status, in the face of older seniors, their physical fitness can also support thoughts, so there will be a kind of self-confidence, especially for young juniors like to pick thorns. With Cheng Pu's generosity, he is still picky about Zhou Yu, not to mention Wu Jing.
Sun Ce often felt that the essence of the Wu family was monopolized by his mother, Mrs. Wu, and his uncle Wu Jing did not occupy any light. If it weren't for his special status, he would not have been able to achieve what he is today.
This Jiujiang Taishou did a very incompetent job.
Sun Ce rushed to Dongcheng in two days. Compared with the tense situation in Huaibei, Dongcheng is particularly quiet. This has something to do with the situation in Dongcheng. Dongcheng belongs to the country of Pi, but it is at the southwest end of Xiapi, two or three hundred miles away from the nearest Huailing and high mountains, and it is closer to the Yin Tomb of Jiujiang County, but it is also more than one hundred and thirty miles. No matter how hard the fight was there, the news could not ripple here.
When Sun Ce led more than 1,000 horsemen to appear outside the city, the officials of Dongcheng County were shocked and scattered in all directions.
Lu Su's house is not in the city, but an independent dock fort, not particularly large, but it looks very strong. When Sun Ce and others appeared in the field of vision, they rang the gong for the alarm, and when Sun Ce came to the dock fort, the drawbridge had been pulled up, the fort was crowded, the spears and halberds were like a forest, and the bows and crossbows had been wound, looking like a great enemy.
Sun Ce stopped his mount, looked at the Lu family's dock fort, and sighed secretly. Wu Jing is really a mediocre talent. Is Lu Su an ordinary hero? Even if you don't have the advantage of a traverser, just looking at this posture, you know that Lu Su is not simple. Such a large dock fort could not be defended without three or five hundred people. Judging from the orderly distribution of personnel and the calm mood at the head of the city, these people are not a rabble, but elites who have received basic military training, which shows that Lu Su himself is proficient in the art of war and has the ability to manage troops.
Maxima often has, Bole does not often have. Wu Jing obviously doesn't have Bole's vision, and it's strange that Lu Su is willing to deal with him.
"Who's coming? Why do you want to visit the Humble House? The crowd at the head of the city dispersed, and a burly young man appeared in front of Sun Ce, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a short beard on his lips, and a calm expression, not taking Sun Ce and the more than a thousand horsemen around him in his eyes at all. Several large men stood behind him, but they were hidden by his might.
Sun Ce looked at this person, and his heart was really shallow in his heart. How did such a heroic hero become a weak and incompetent good man in his book? The most excessive thing is to reverse right and wrong, obviously it was Lu Su who went to the meeting alone and scolded Guan Yu, but it became Guan Yu who went to the meeting alone, which scared Lu Su so much that he couldn't possess his body.
Sun Ce subconsciously glanced at Guan Yu not far away. Guan Yu had already dismounted, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in one hand, holding the reins of the horse, stroking his beard with the other, looking up at the dock fort of the Lu family, and he didn't know whether to envy or disdain.
"Cloud Chief." Sun Ce beckoned and called Guan Yu over. "You have a good voice, a loud voice, and you have read a book, so come forward to inform me of your name."
Guan Yu was very proud, pushed his beard, and agreed. He lifted the Qinglong Yanyue Knife upside down and strode to the front of the suspension bridge, and Lu Su at the head of the city couldn't help but shrink his eyes when he saw it. Guan Yu's appearance is too outstanding, with a figure of more than nine feet, a beautiful beard, and a long knife in his hand that he has never seen before, a dragon-shaped tiger step, at a glance, he knows that his martial arts are strong, and he is by no means an idle person. He has also seen many heroes, and he also has a good martial arts, archery and knife skills are outstanding, and he thinks that he is rarely an opponent. But when he saw Guan Yu, he didn't have the confidence to win for the first time.
Sun Ce was not far away, that is, a stone's throw away, and he could see Guan Yu's location clearly. Guan Yu was far away from Sun Ce, which meant that he was not a person from Sun Ce's side, and it was likely that he was just an ordinary subordinate. Such a great husband is willing to be Sun Ce's subordinate, which shows that Sun Ce is not an idle person.
Although he didn't know who the person opposite was, Lu Su had already developed a heart of admiration.
Guan Yu was full of dantian qi and said loudly: "The Han rebelled against the general, comprehended Ji Taishou, Jiangdong Sun Ce Sun Bofu, led 500 warriors under his command, 1,000 elite horses, and patrolled so far, I heard that Lu Jun was chivalrous, and I came to visit him, and I wanted to discuss the general trend of the world with Lu Jun." ”
There was an uproar at the head of the city, like the wind sweeping over the water, and then it fell silent again.
Lu Su's expression changed slightly, raised his head, and looked at Sun Ce in the distance, especially staring at the flaming phoenix on the big wall behind Sun Ce, and already knew who it was, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said loudly: "Are you talking about General Sun, who is known as the little overlord?" ”
"Exactly. Guan Yu ......was very satisfied, and was about to report his name, when he looked up, Lu Su was gone, and he was speechless and closed his mouth. At this moment, there was a creaking sound, the drawbridge was lowered, the fortress door rumbled open, and Lu Su strode out of it. When he came to the moat, the drawbridge had not yet been leveled, Lu Su walked a few steps, rushed onto the drawbridge, stood at the front of the drawbridge, and as soon as the drawbridge landed, he rushed over and gave a salute.
"It is Lu Su below, looking at the strange appearance under the feet, it must be a warrior under the command of General Sun, dare to ask the surname of the foot and what position he holds?"
Guan Yu opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. He had never regarded himself as Sun Ce's subordinate, but it didn't seem appropriate to talk to Lu Su about this at this time. How to introduce himself, he was really unprepared, and after thinking about it for a while, he had to say vaguely.
"In Xiahe Dongguanyu, the word cloud is long."
Lu Su looked at Guan Yu and waited for the following. According to the usual practice, as the master, greeting Guan Yu, a person who announces his name, no matter what kind of identity Sun Ce is, it is counted as giving Guan Yu face. Guan Yu should not only report his name, but also his official position. When they first met, it was inconvenient for him to call him by his words, and it was most appropriate to call him an official position.
But Guan Yu didn't follow up for a long time, and looked at Lu Su embarrassedly. The two looked at each other, both a little confused.
