Wei Yan smiled and asked, "How is his talent better than yours?" ”

Liu Ye bowed and said: "Gaozu once said that in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and I am not as good as the ovary; Fill the country, care for the people, give gifts, and keep the grain going, I am not as good as Xiao He; Even millions of people, the battle will be won, the attack must be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info subordinates are confident, subordinates, Lu Zijing and Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin are comparable to Zhang Liang, Xiao He, and Han Xin. ”

Wei Yan shook his head lightly: "You Huainan Sanjie, comparable to the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Ziyang's talent is comparable to the ovary, Gongjin's talent is comparable to Han Xin, so compared, there is no fault, but Xiao He is better than Zijing, I think it is inappropriate, Xiao He is good at governing the government but not good at governing the army, Zijing has a general strategy, and this prince is willing to compare with Deng Yu, the founder of this dynasty." ”

Liu Ye looked surprised, he had been friends with Lu Su for many years, and he knew Lu Su well, but he was not as good as Wei Yan, who had never met Lu Su, and suddenly felt embarrassed.

Wei Yan looked at Liu Ye's expression and knew that although he knew Lu Su's talent, he didn't really understand that Lu Su's true talent was reflected there.

In fact, not only Lu Su's friend had a delusion, but most people in later generations were misled by Romance, thinking that Lu Su was a benevolent elder, more than loyal, and lacking in intelligence.

However, romance is an artistic creation, not a record of historical facts, from an artistic point of view, it can be called a brilliant pen, if from the perspective of historiography, but the reversal and distortion of history, Lu Su, who was active in the changes of history, his scheming will never be posterity.

Lu Su is wise and courageous, comparable to Zhou Yu, if you talk about far-sightedness and foresight, I am afraid that Zhou Yu is slightly better.

In the Battle of Chibi, the Sun and Liu families defeated Cao Cao by defeating the weak and the strong, which was largely due to the careful planning of Lu Su and Zhuge Liang. After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's strength was still stronger than Liu Bei and Sun Quan. As a far-sighted politician, Lu Su is very aware of this. He believed that neither Sun Quan of Eastern Wu nor Liu Bei, who occupied Jingzhou, was enough to compete with Cao Cao. There are three ways in front of the two families: one is to jointly resist Cao; the second is to fight for themselves; The third is to surrender without a fight and join Cao Cao. Only by taking the road of joint resistance to Cao Cao is the right choice. Therefore, he unswervingly adhered to this strategic approach throughout his life and did his best to achieve it.

Many talents under Sun Quan's command understand politics and know that they cannot resist Cao Cao unless they contact Liu Bei, so as to maintain the "independent kingdom" of Jiangdong, and only Lu Su is the only one who further wins the Central Plains. Under Liu Bei, only Zhuge Liang had this vision, and Zhuge Liang, like Lu Su, was the most far-sighted outstanding strategist and diplomat in the Three Kingdoms era.

Lu Su unswervingly insisted on the Sun-Liu alliance because he saw that the maintenance and consolidation of the alliance was related to the long-term interests of Jiangdong's life and death, which was his far-sighted superiority. Lu Su's life's activities proved that he was the most outstanding politician, military strategist and diplomatic activist in Jiangdong.

Thinking of this, Wei Yan couldn't help but sigh for Yuan Shu and said: "Huainan is rich, with a million household registration, and there are talents like you Huainan Sanjie, Yuan Highway has also got such a field, and the fruit is dry bones in the mound!" ”

Under the guidance of Liu Ye, Wei Yan went to Dongcheng to visit Lu Su.

Because the northern counties of Huainan were under the control of the Wei army, Wei Yan did not bring too many people, and, in order to observe the actual situation in Huainan, Wei Yan also decided to disguise himself, make a private visit, pretend to be an ordinary merchant, and go to Dongcheng, so he only brought more than a hundred guards, and the brave general was only Dian Wei, in addition to a few partial generals with good martial arts.

Xu Shu was not at ease, so he asked Gan Ning to lead five thousand elite horsemen to follow, keeping a distance of twenty miles, once encountering an emergency, Dian Wei issued an alarm, and Gan Ning's army quickly followed.

Along the way, Wei Yan had a detailed understanding of the people's livelihood along the way, and found that he used the policy of other places in Huainan with the frontier, and there were still some water and soil adaptations, because Huainan had suffered from the poison of Yuan Shu for many years, the people were not able to make a living, the people were displaced, and they were in ruins, and they might need more assistance.

Liu Ye saw that Wei Yan was very concerned about the people's livelihood along the way, and he was puzzled at first, and then he was slowly influenced by Wei Yan, and then expressed deep admiration for Wei Yan.

Wei Yan knew that Liu Ye was the second generation of officials in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and if he didn't let him personally experience the suffering of the grassroots people, they would only think from the perspective of their own class.

Every time Wei Yan made a private visit to Weifu after that, he was looking for those children of the family to accompany him to experience the suffering of the people, so that they could experience the blood and tears of the lower-class people, so that they could really ask for their lives for the people.

Originally, Wei Yan could take a boat along the waterway to Dongcheng, but Wei Yan was not good at swimming, and if he was in distress on the water, it was inconvenient to save himself and others, and he went down the Huai River, traveling very fast, which was inconvenient for Wei Yan to observe the people's feelings, so Wei Yan chose to ride a horse and take the land route.

It was precisely because Wei Yan chose to travel by land that he met a stunning beauty.

Wei Yan and his entourage had just walked to the edge of a mountain forest outside Dongcheng City, it was almost dusk, Wei Yan and his party saw that Dongcheng was still forty or fifty miles away, and decided to set up a tent here to rest temporarily.

Before the tent was set up, I heard several cries for help in the mountains and forests, although the voice was panicked and sad, but it was not coquettish, and I knew it was a woman's voice when I heard it.

Wei Yan stationed in the horse and overlooked, this mountain forest is nearly 100 miles in circumference, most of them are low hills, stretching to the cracked mountain in the south of Dongcheng City.

Liu Ye saw Wei Yan looking at this place, so he introduced: "The split mountain is not high, only five or six hundred feet, but because the hills here are rugged and tortuous, the forests are flourishing, and the sky and the sun are covered, so there are still a few bandits scattered here, doing evil, it must be a woman from a good family who has been robbed by bandits here, should we save it?!" ”

Wei Yan smiled: "Ziyang, do you still need to ask this?" ”

Before Liu Ye could answer, Dian Wei had already taken the lead, waving his double iron halberd and rushing into the mountains and forests.

Wei Yan shook his head lightly: "This dian is three years old, and he hasn't changed his frizzy temper yet!" ”

Wei Yan and Liu Ye led more than 100 guards, followed closely behind, and fought into the mountains and forests.

There is a large open space in the mountains and forests, which is a barren land burned by fire, there are more than 400 bandits surrounding several carriages, dozens of corpses are scattered around the carriages, most of them are dressed as family members, it seems that people from a certain family walked through the mountains and forests, encountered an ambush by mountain bandits, and all the family members were killed, leaving only an old woman, a young lady, and four maids.

The old woman was nearly fifty years old, although she could see that she was a beautiful woman when she was young, and now her hair was gray and wrinkled, and she could only look at it respectfully, and the maids were all okay in appearance, but compared to the eldest lady who held a long sword against her neck, they were purely green leaves of red lace.

This eldest lady, wearing a white skirt, head wrapped in white silk, waist tied with white silk, and then look at other people are also wearing linen and filial piety, obviously, not long ago died elders, it is estimated that the dead father, as the saying goes, if you want to be pretty three points of filial piety, this woman is dressed in white to set off her delicate as March pear blossoms, willow eyebrows, apricot eyes and peach cheeks, glamorous as peach and plum, eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, the skin is fair and smooth like jade, and the eyes are clear, like a deep pool of clear water, which makes people intoxicated.
