Chapter 9 Lu Su
In his previous life, Gongsun Kang had a good impression of Lu Su and felt that he was an honest man. Honest people work hard, diligently, and are easy to bully, hehe.
Lu Su (born in 172), Zijing, Han nationality, Dongcheng County, Linhuai County (now southeast of Dingyuan County, Chuzhou City, Anhui Province)
He was an outstanding strategist and diplomat in the late Eastern Han Dynasty of China. Born into a family of scholars; He lost his father at a young age and was raised by his grandmother. He has a burly physique, a bold personality, likes to read, and is good at riding and shooting.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were autocratic, the expropriation was tyrannical, the court was mediocre, the officials were corrupt, the society was in turmoil, the wealthy landlords frantically annexed the land, and the peasants fled in large numbers and became exiles. The heroes are everywhere, and the world is in chaos. At this time, Lu Su not only did not manage family affairs, but on the contrary, he also squandered money, gave a large amount of money, sold land, helped the poor, made friends with sages, and often called young people in the township to practice military practice. For this reason, it is deeply admired and supported by the villagers.
At that time, Zhou Yu was the head of the nest, and when he heard about Lu Su's reputation, he brought hundreds of people to visit and asked him to fund some food. At that time, Lu Su's house had two large round granaries, each containing 3,000 grains, Zhou Yu just said that he wanted to lend grain, Lu Su did not hesitate, immediately pointed to one of the warehouses and gave it to him.
There are two large granaries in the courtyard of Lu Su's house, "Su's family has two grains of rice", how much is one piece of rice? Three thousand hundreds. What is the amount of a hug? Lu Su is a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and of course uses the weights and measures of the Han Dynasty. "Three thousand Hu is thirty thousand buckets. Lu Su's family overcharged not only three or five buckets that year, but two three thousand hundreds, a total of six thousand hundreds, about sixty thousand buckets. In the agricultural era, agricultural income was often the main income, so Lusu's income that year was about 60,000 buckets of rice.
Zhou Yu was deeply impressed by Lu Su's "rich and willful", so he said emotionally: Our brother is done. After this incident, Zhou Yu was convinced that Lu Su was a different person, and took the initiative to associate with him, and the two established an unbreakable friendship like Gongsun Qiao and Ji Zha.
After Yuan Shu heard about this, he also felt that Lu Su was a figure, so he appointed him as the magistrate of Huailin Dongcheng.
Later generations commented on Lu Su as:
Chen Shou: (1) There are few strong festivals, which is a strange plan. The family is rich in wealth, and the sex is good for giving. (2) Cao Gong took advantage of the capital of the Han Dynasty, coerced the Son of Heaven and swept the group, newly swept Jingcheng, and fought against Dongxia, and there was no doubt about the discussion at the time. Lu Sujian's arbitrariness is outstanding, and he is a real genius.
"Book of Wu": Strict and strict, less than playing ornaments, frugal inside and outside, not vulgar. To rectify the army, the ban must be enforced, although it is in the army, it is impossible to release the volume. He is also good at talking, can belong to the rhetoric, think far-reaching, and have excellent insight. After Zhou Yu, Su was crowned.
Zhou Yu: (1) Lu Suzhi is slightly responsible and begs to replace Yu. (2) Lu Su is loyal and martyrful, and he can act as a substitute for Yu.
Lu Ji: Zhou Yu, Lu Gong, Lu Su, and Lu Meng are in the heart of the abdomen, and they are out of the humerus.
Now, when Gongsun Kang was ready to invite Lu Su, he was already an official in Yuan Shu, the magistrate of Huailin Dongcheng. Of course, Gongsun Kang knew that this official, Lu Su didn't want to be an official, and he couldn't be for long. So go see him in person.
If Lu Su betrayed Gongsun Kang, then Lu Su would not be the legendary wise and courageous, fearless, resourceful and decisive, frank and bold, eloquent, chivalrous, very politically minded, and the most far-sighted outstanding diplomat in the Three Kingdoms era.
Look, so many beautiful words and so many excellent qualities have been piled up on Lu Su's body. So Gongsun Kang had to go and see him in person no matter what. Even if Lu Su didn't agree to follow Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Kang would not force him, but would still be friends with him.
Gongsun Kang went to see Lu Su, and when the doorman signed up, he only said that he was Sun Kang, a traveling scholar. waited for the idle people in the room to retreat before explaining their true identities to Lu Su.
Gongsun Kang said: "I came to see Zijing today with only one purpose: to make friends with you. ”
Lu Su even said that he didn't dare to be. He is also the name of Gongsun Kang who has been admired for a long time. I admire him very much for resisting foreigners and opening up territory for the Han family. and subdued the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, allowing Qingzhou to restore its economy and people's livelihood.
Gongsun Kang said again: "I know that Zijing is an honest man. Bold and atmospheric! Very much appetite for our Liaodong people. Let's not come to the void, let's talk to you today. "The cunning Gongsun Kang pretended to be rude. But there is a kind of boldness and straightforwardness of a Liaodong man in his speaking style.
Since he wanted to subdue Lu Su, Gongsun Kang himself said more than Lu Su. Analyzing the general trend of the world, the past, present, and future, Gongsun Kang is the first to say.
Lu Su listened in awe, and admired Gongsun Kang's sharp and sharp views, thinking that he was right. Although Lu Su is also a member of a wealthy family, he is not keen on land annexation, but hates it very much! Lu Su is indeed a good person, he cares more about ordinary people.
For people with this kind of virgin attribute, Gongsun Kang has always been respectful. But Lu Su is different, Gongsun Kang just likes him from the bottom of his heart. It's a big deal to encounter dark things in the future, just don't let Lu Su participate. Gongsun Kang thought to himself.
The two talked for two hours, and they both hated each other late, and Gongsun Kang showed his intention to solicit. He said: "I have just been appointed by the imperial court as the pastor of Qingzhou, and Qingzhou is in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt. But I don't have many of them who know how to govern. They are all big and coarse, they are good at fighting, but they can't talk about governing people's livelihood. Zijing and I are so close to each other, I don't know if they will come to help me. ”
Lu Su was embarrassed: "Yuan Shu's subordinates are abandoned, and they are not enough to achieve great things." I wanted to leave for a long time. But my people are more than a hundred, and I don't want to give them up. I don't know what to do. ”
Gongsun Kang said: "This matter is very simple, I brought a few big ships. You can act in two groups. Let the old and weak women and children set off in the name of going to the seaside for an outing, and when they are on board, you can rush over with the young and strong and the property. I can also send 500 soldiers to pick you up. ”
Even if this matter is solved, Lu Su bowed down solemnly. "Participate in the lord, I am willing to follow you!" "He is learning to speak from Gongsun Kang. Lu Su is such a smart person, how can Gongsun Kang, who is famous all over the world, be a rude person? He was also moved by Gongsun Kang's intention to turn over and vote for his favor.
Hearing what Lu Su said, Gongsun Kang laughed: "Okay, let's share the weal and woe in the future!" ”
smiled again: "Zijing is an understanding person, the two of us don't pretend to be corrupt, but there is no need to pretend to be coarse, let's restore our nature, haha!" ”
Lu Su also smiled, and for a while, the monarch and the minister got along.
The first batch of old and weak women and children boarded the ship smoothly under the protection of 500 soldiers disguised as ordinary family members in Liaodong.
When the second batch of young people moved, they brought more than a dozen truckloads of property. So it leaked.
Yuan Shu learned that Lu Su had moved and hurried to stop him. Lu Su lined up the strong men, stretched out his bow and arrows, and said to the pursuers: "You are all men, you should understand the general trend." Why do you want to persecute me? So saying, he ordered the shield to stand on the ground, and shot it from a distance, and the arrows pierced the shield. On the one hand, the pursuers felt that Lu Su's words were reasonable, and on the other hand, they estimated that they could not help him with their own strength, so they had to retreat.
Lu Su successfully arrived at the beach and successfully boarded the big ship in Liaodong.
