To appease the princess of Xia Wannian, who had nothing to do, Gao Shun carefully read the information of several people who were banned, and what he valued most was Lu Su, and it was Lu Su who was most likely to be subdued.

Gao Shun remembered that Lu Su was a crucial strategist and diplomat in Eastern Wu in history, but the records of intelligence officers puzzled him that Lu Su was actually a heroic knight.

Lu Su, 18 years old, tall, burly, bold personality, like to read, good at riding and shooting, soliciting guests, and later saw that the world was about to be chaotic, so he secretly taught the art of war in the mountains, and trained these guests as troops; The family is very rich; His grandfather and father died young, and he lived with his mother and maternal grandmother; The intelligence officers were taken to Fort Taoyuan together with his mother and grandmother.

In order to kidnap Lu Su, he lost more than a dozen soldiers, and it seems that Lu Su's martial arts are extraordinary.

After thinking about it carefully, Gao Shun finally understood that Lu Su could only be regarded as a local wealthy family, not a scholar family; His intelligence was enough to make him famous, so much so that people later overlooked his martial arts.

The so-called local heroes are that they occupy a large amount of land and are well-known in the countryside, but because they have no knowledge inheritance, they are not looked down upon by the wealthy families.

In the early period of Qin and the Western Han Dynasty, they continued to attack the wealthy clans, and reached their peak when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reached their peaks.

In the later period of the Western Han Dynasty, the local Hao clan was no longer attacked and contained, so the Hao clan developed greatly, and Emperor Guangwu relied on the Hao clan to achieve Zhongxing, and the Hao clan became the protagonist of national politics in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

However, the wealthy families of the Eastern Han Dynasty slowly divided into two groups. Those who gather people in the township to make trouble and claim hegemony are just low-end wealthy families, called local tyrants or local tyrants; Those who control national politics through official and other means become high-end wealthy families, known as scholars; The scholars are different from the local tyrants, the scholars not only monopolized the political resources of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but also were influenced by Confucian values since childhood, and had a high degree of orthodox identification with the Han Dynasty.

Lu Su's family is rich, but he has not been an official for several generations, and he is a local tyrant.

Thinking about the problem, Gao couldn't wait to invite Lu Su to his study.

After being imprisoned for nearly a year, Lu Su had never seen the main owner, Gao Shun, and now he suddenly received an invitation from Gao Shun, which surprised him very much.

"Su has seen the prince!" When Lu Su saw Gao Shun, he immediately saluted, after all, now even his mother and grandmother are under Gao Shun's control, he doesn't dare to contradict Gao Shun, if Gao Shun is unhappy and kills him, wouldn't he be wronged?

"Haha, Zijing doesn't need to be polite, please take a seat!" Gao Shun got up, waved his hand, and motioned for Lu Su to sit opposite him and have a long talk.

"Xie Junhou!" Lu Su sat down opposite Gao Shun, and then looked up at Gao Shun, who was taller than him, burly, with good facial features, not angry and arrogant, and really the posture of the master.

Gao Shun also took the opportunity to check Lu Su's attributes, Lu Su, 18 years old, force value 81, intelligence 94, politics 85, commander 79, really is an extraordinary person, if he is a little older, more experience, and all attributes will be improved, it is a rare talent in both civil and military affairs.

Gao Shun said apologetically: "Haha, please come here for a long time, Shun has been in Jizhou, I haven't been able to meet, don't blame me!" ”

"Su Nai Xiaomin, how dare you blame the prince? The prince is worried! ”

"Have you ever been used to Zijing living here?"

"Xie Junhou takes care of it, everything is fine!" Lu Su couldn't help but despise Gao Shun's hypocrisy in his heart.

Gao Shun didn't ink either, immediately changed the topic, and asked, "What is Zijing's opinion on the current situation?" ”

Lu Su had long thought about this, and immediately replied: "In Su's private opinion, the Han Dynasty is no longer revived, and Dong Zhuo cannot be eliminated at once. For the sake of the prince, he should stay in Jizhou to watch the changing situation in the world. To stabilize the five northern states, you can fight Yan, Henan, Xu in the east, and Yizhou in the west, you can go down the river, Jing and Yang can be reached, and then call the emperor Jian, and then besiege Dong Zhuo on all sides, seize Luoyang, which has a great cause to establish with Han Gaozu! ”

On the issue of seizing Yizhou, Lu Su and Gao Shun had the same view, and after occupying Yizhou, they could go down the river and seize Jingzhou and Yangzhou; He shared the same opinion as Xi Zhicai and others, and was to occupy the Central Plains such as Yanzhou, Yuzhou, and Xuzhou first.

Gao Shun was overjoyed, in line with his previous thoughts, and there was a possibility of subduing Lu Su, so he smiled and said: "Haha, what Zijing said is wrong, Shun just wants to defend one side for the imperial court, what you said is beyond my reach." ”

Lu Su knew that Gao Shun didn't want to say it clearly, so he smiled and didn't say anything.

Gao Shun asked again, "What does Zijing think of Shun?" ”

Lu Su said bluntly: "Although the prince is strong and strong, his troops are scattered, and he is actually vulnerable. ”

Gao Shun was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Lu Su to say this, but he didn't get angry, but said politely: "Please Zi Jing Mingyan!" ”

Lu Su was very satisfied with Gao Shun's attitude, and said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Iron Cavalry is extremely sharp, if he gives Liangzhou to Han Sui and joins forces to deal with Guangnianhou, then nearly 100,000 officers and soldiers in the Sanfu region will be worried; And the prince's troops are scattered, the rescue is not in time, Dong Zhuo's cavalry can go down to Qingzhou, and confront the prince across the river, the prince will lose Qingzhou, Liangzhou and Sanfu areas in an instant, if he boldly advances, he can also seize Hanoi County, occupy Huguan and other passes, and even send troops to fight with the prince in Jizhou, Jizhou's troops are empty, even if Youzhou and Bingzhou rescue in time, it is beyond the reach of the whip, the prince will definitely suffer heavy losses, and he is unable to attack south; Dong Zhuo can rest assured that the states of the Central Plains will be rectified, and the prince will lose the opportunity. ”

When Gao Shun heard this, he couldn't help but be even more impressed by Lu Su, he was too light on the enemy before, and he didn't expect Dong Zhuo's counterattack at all, if so, his troops were scattered, and he would definitely suffer heavy losses in the early stage of the war; Then he got up and saluted Lu Su and said, "Thank you Zijing for the reminder, and you have been taught!" ”

Lu Su hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The prince is polite!" ”

Gao Shun asked again: "What should Shun do?" Please be respectful! ”

"The prince is polite, this matter is easy! Jizhou is rich in the world, and it should be the top priority, and the defense of Jizhou must be strengthened; The state army was assembled in Taiyuan, rather than scattered in the counties; Strengthen the defense of the passes of Hanoi and Ha Dong and relocate the population of Hanoi County; Shrink the elite troops of Qingzhou in Jinan, and use several counties of Yanzhou as a buffer. ”

Gao Shun knew that this was to set aside a buffer zone and concentrate his forces to prevent Dong Zhuo from having a chance to sneak attack; Previously, he had transferred Zhang Fei and Yan Liang to lead 10,000 cavalry to strengthen the defense of Jizhou, which coincided with his thoughts, and he couldn't help but glance at Lu Sugao; He asked again: "How does Zijing think to deal with the situation in Liangzhou?" ”

Lu Su said: "Before Dong Zhuo, recruit Liangzhou warlords such as Han Sui and Ma Teng, and under the unfavorable situation of not being able to occupy Tongguan and Hangu Pass, they should gather heavy troops in Chang'an, instead of Chencang or Meiyang City." Chang'an City has been in operation for a long time, the city is high and strong, even if Dong Zhuo sneaks attack, it will not be able to conquer it in a few months, and win rescue time for the prince. ”

This is very in line with Gao Shun's thoughts, Gao Shun had planned to visit Liangzhou in person after the Chinese New Year, recruit An Han Sui and Ma Teng and others, and completely pacify Liangzhou, so he changed the topic and asked: "What does Zijing think of Dong Zhuo?" ”

"His soldiers are strong and strong, and he controls the court, which is a heroic posture, and he must not be underestimated!"

"How to deal with Dong Zhuo?"

"The prince should immediately stop paying taxes to the imperial court, and form an alliance with Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Liu Miao of Yangzhou to advance and retreat together, so as to prevent Dong Zhuo and the Han Emperor from escaping to Jiangnan and trapping him to death in Luoyang!"

This is very in line with Gao Shun's idea, if Dong Zhuo fled with the emperor to Jiangnan, Jingzhou and Yangzhou were powerless to stop it, this would definitely increase the difficulty of his unification of the Central Plains; Gao Shun continued to ask rhetorically: "Zijing has been getting along with Zhang Zibu, Liu Ziyang and others for a long time, what do you think?" ”

"Hahaha, a group of rotten people, it's not enough to plot with it!"

Gao Shun thought to himself, Lu Su must have disagreed with their political views to make this statement, they are all Dashi clan, and they must look down on local tyrants like Lu Su, but this also indicates that Zhang Zhao, Liu Ye and others will be difficult to subdue, since they can't be used for their own purposes, they can only continue to imprison them for the time being.

At this point, Gao Shun understood Lu Su, coupled with the deeds of Lu Su in history, Gao Shun was sure that there was a possibility of subduing Lu Su, so he got up and saluted Lu Su and said: "Shun earnestly asks Zi Jing to help Shun, calm the world, and end the troubled times!" ”

Lu Su was very excited, and he didn't shirk it, and immediately got up and said, "Greet the lord!" ”

Now the whole family is imprisoned by Gao Shun, if he does not obey, he will live here for the rest of his life, Gao Shun will never let him go, for ambitious people, it is difficult to accept; And Gao Shun is now strong, strong and strong, as long as he is not too incompetent, he will definitely be able to unify the world and end the troubled times; Besides, if Gao Shun is incompetent, how can he develop from a reckless man to dominate several states? He is young and famous, so he has to be valued so much by Gao Shun, how can he not be excited?

Gao Shun was very excited, took a step forward, pulled up Lu Su, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, Shun is respectful, and you are like a fish in water!" ”
