Chapter 49: Appointment of Lu Su

At this time, Lu Su was indeed as embarrassed as Yuan Yao guessed, although on the surface he was looking at his nose and nose, and he was sitting calmly on his knees beside the lobby; Although Sun Ce did not show any inappropriate behavior when he saw Lu Su sitting in the hall; Even Lu Su himself was mentally prepared to face the embarrassment, but he definitely didn't think that Yuan Yao would be late and throw him into this embarrassment for so long!

At this time, Lu Su admired his morality a little, because until now he had never secretly scolded Yuan Yao in his heart.

The reason why Lu Su was able to take refuge in Yuan Yao was because he had a clear conscience, and even he thought that the first reason why he took refuge in Yuan Yao was to avoid Sun Ce and Zhou Yu from dying excessively, which was equivalent to giving him a gold medal for avoiding death, it stands to reason that there should be nothing embarrassing to face Sun Ce, but the problem is that there is no way to explain this kind of thing to Sun Ce, can you tell him "You do it casually, I will protect you from death"! It's impossible.

There are many examples of sins that can still be lived, and there are many examples of self-inflicted sins that cannot be lived, and in order to achieve the final goal, he must prevent Sun Ce from doing things that cannot end, and finally be able to live in harmony with the Yuan family, which is also one of the tasks given to him by Yuan Yao.

With the addition of Lu Su, Yuan Yao knew more about Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's previous plans, although he had already made a rough guess against his historical memory, and thought that he had already made a full decision, but in the end, after learning about his detailed plan, he was so surprised that he didn't say anything for a long time. As Liu Ye guessed, Zhou Yu and others' campaign in Jiangdong is just the first step, when the momentum reaches a certain result, it is a transaction with various families in Jiangdong, exchanging military power for each family's soldiers, horses, grain and grass, that is, legalizing the private soldiers of each family, and after getting the Jiangdong regime, the Sun family will also pay money and grain to help each family raise these soldiers and horses; The second step was to reach a compromise with the local county commanders and county magistrates, and not interfere in the county-level appointment authority after entering Jiangdong, which means that after the Sun family took power, the counties could continue to enjoy the benefits of the troubled times, and continue to be the emperor without central interference.

Yuan Yao was surprised when he learned these two points, although he guessed that Sun Ce would definitely have an affair with the Jiangdong family, but he still didn't expect that he would be willing to do it to this extent! Together, these two points of Jiangdong's family are equivalent to waiting for no princes, that is to say, they have become princes who are not princes! Because the county magistrates and county commanders of each county are now all served by the clansmen of the Jiangdong family, and if they are given military power, it will be no different from the princes, just a prince who pays taxes and eats money. Although the Sun family nominally implemented the centralized power of the county system, in fact it was similar to Zhou Tianzi in the feudal era, and achieved the goal of ruling Jiangdong by dividing the feudal feuds and ordering the princes. It is not so much a political regime as a military alliance, a military alliance of the Jiangdong family with the Sun family as the leader.

But these are not the things that surprised Yuan Yao the most, what surprised him the most was that the reason why Yuan Shu had continuously reused Sun Xiang, Sun Ben, Sun Ce, Wu Jing and others of the Sun family in the past few years was that it was also part of Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's plan! It was they who advocated bribing Shi Yanghong, the governor of General Zuo's mansion, to make him reuse the Jiangdong family to win over the Jiangdong family to Yuan Shu. Although there is no name among them that says that the Sun family will be reused, the only Jiangdong family that has taken refuge in Yuan Shu is the Sun family.

Because this employment strategy is exactly in line with Yuan Shu's strategic plan to win the entire Yangzhou, he adopted it without hesitation, and what he said was that Yang Hong, an old minister, did not have the shadow of the Sun family, so Yuan Shu did not suspect that there was a cat in it, so the Sun family immediately ascended to heaven, and all those who took refuge in Yuan Shu were reused to the maximum.

Until now, Yuan Yao did not know that he was the so-called first family in the world; The Yuan family, known as the fourth world and the third prince, was actually played with by Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, Lu Su and others, who were still little children at the time.

Of course, now that all this has passed, since Yuan Yao replaced Sun Ce to raise troops, their previous plan can be regarded as unsuccessful, and it must be changed, but it must be changed on the basis of the original plan, and it is impossible to start again, so it is still very useful for Yuan Yao to know the information of their previous plan.

……

At this time, Sun Ce sat in the lobby of the county guard mansion and was calm, the hour had passed, Yuan Yao was late, and everyone was waiting, but no one knew that Sun Ce was ready to seize the door and flee at any time.

From the moment he saw Lu Su appear in the hall, he knew that something was wrong, if it weren't for the fact that his intuition as a military general didn't find any murderous aura, maybe he would have burst out and hurt people at this moment, take a hostage and then prepare to escape, he was confident that he could do it, so he could still sit here.

He knew that something was wrong, but he couldn't determine the exact reason, he heard that Lu Su had escaped yesterday, and he was relieved, but he didn't know why he appeared here at this moment, this is the place where the morning meeting is about to be held, and it is a place where administrative secrets are concerned, and it is a compromise with Yuan Yao to appear here, that is to say, it is very likely that he has been loyal to Yuan Yao, and he has taken refuge in Yuan Yao without consulting him, and the result is very alarming......

"General Zhengdong has arrived!" The guards outside the hall suddenly sang.

Sun Cehu's eyes widened, his fists clenched, and he began to monitor everything around him with full attention, ready to face anything that might happen. And Lu Su on the side also exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his embarrassed mood finally settled down.

Everyone stood up to greet them, and Yuan Yao stepped into the lobby......

"See the general!"

Yuan Yao saw that everyone in the hall was safe and secure, and his heart was also relieved, and then he came to the main seat and sat down. Chen Wu also followed and waited aside, because he also had to participate in the morning meeting, otherwise he would wait outside the hall.

"Excuse me."

"General Xie."

After everyone was seated, Yuan Yaocai spoke: "The main purpose of gathering everyone here today is to introduce you to a new colleague, this person is the great sage Lu Su and Lu Zijing that I just recruited. In the future, I will serve as Sima under my account, and I will be in charge of military affairs, so everyone should be closer and closer. ”

Lu Su got up and saluted everyone and said, "Lu Su has seen all the kings in the future, and I hope that you can teach you more in the future." Sue, thank you in advance. ”

Everyone in the hall also stood up and saluted back: "Congratulations to Lu Sima on his ascension to the high position." ”

“……”

Sima's position is not high or low, and generals at all levels and even captains have Sima's posts under their accounts, with a rank of thousands of stones. The size of the power mainly depends on the attitude of the chief, if the chief must bow to himself, then Sima under the account is also an errand job; If the chief is a hands-off shopkeeper, then there is no difference between Sima and his chief's rights. In the past, the position of Sima had to be assigned by the imperial court, and there was also a sense of restriction, but now no one cares, and it is all appointed by the princes of all walks of life.

The reason why Yuan Yao appointed Lu Su as Sima was mainly because he lacked military generals now, and he had not yet taken Jiangdong and had no need to govern civil affairs, so he did not use Lu Su as a civil official.

In addition, Lu Su was originally the governor of Jiangdong who was in charge of the military and political power of one side in history, so a Sima's military position should be easy to control, even if he is still very young.
