Seeing that no one at the scene objected, Wang Chong said to Li Tao again: "Boyun, from today on, I will appoint you as the Taishou of Hefei, and in the future, the affairs of Hefei City will be handled by you, and I will give you two general directions, one is to accommodate the displaced people as much as possible, build water conservancy, and resume production; The second is to expand the moat, build the city wall, and strengthen the city defense, which is particularly important, because the future Hefei city will be our first line against Cao Cao's invasion. ”

Now Hefei is not the history of the Hefei that was remodeled by Liu Fu, not only the city wall is broken, the people in the city are also extremely rare, ten houses, at most only three or four families live, the rest have been abandoned, these, naturally all thanks to Yuan Shu.

Li Tao's expression was solemn, he was named the Taishou of Hefei, he did not feel the slightest excitement, but was full of pressure.

Wang Chong saw Li Tao's lack of confidence, and said comfortingly: "Bo Yun, just do your best, you don't need to have too much pressure, in addition, Bo Dao will stay in Hefei for the time being, if you have any questions, you can consult Bo Dao, he has been in the army for more than ten years, and he is more experienced than you in many aspects." ”

In fact, with Hao Zhao's talent, there is no doubt that he is more suitable than Li Tao to be this Hefei Taishou, but he has just joined Jinfan, and his qualifications are too shallow.

Li Tao is not a person without responsibility, since Wang Chong said so, he did not push back again, nodded and agreed.

At this time, Liu Ye interjected on the side and smiled: "If Bo Yun really feels that it is difficult to manage Hefei by himself, Ye might as well recommend one person to Bo Yun here, if he can get this person's help, then all Bo Yun's troubles will be gone!" ”

When Li Tao heard this, he seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and said happily: "Is this true? ”

"Such a big thing, Ye Zi doesn't dare to believe it!" Liu Ye said with a smile, "This person is a friend of Ye, surnamed Lu Mingsu Zijing, Dongcheng County is strong, has a bold personality, fights righteousness and squanders money, likes to read, is good at riding and shooting, and often opens a warehouse to help the poor people, so he is quite loved by the villagers in Huainan. ”

"So what are you waiting for?" Li Tao couldn't wait to say, "Hefei and Dongcheng are not far away, and ask Mr. to write a handwritten letter, Tao sent someone to send it quickly, presumably Mr. Zijing will be invited to Hefei in less than three days!" ”

"But as far as I know, Lu Su had already gone south to join Sun Ce a few years ago, so how could he be in Dongcheng now?" Wang Chong's words were like a basin of cold water, which instantly extinguished Li Tao's enthusiasm.

"This ......" Li Tao looked at Liu Ye puzzled, wanting to hear what Liu Ye had to explain.

"Oh? Does the lord also know the son? Liu Ye raised his eyebrows and asked with a little surprise.

Wang Chong nodded: "Lu Su is a talented person, Chong has already heard of it, if he hadn't gone south to join Jiangdong first, even if Ziyang didn't say it, Chong would have come forward to invite him to play for my Jinfan." ”

"The news that the lord has mastered, I'm afraid it's already an old yellow calendar, right?" Liu Ye smiled and said, "That's right, Zijing did stay in the Jiangdong Army for a while, but his grandmother died not long ago, and now he has resigned and returned to Dongcheng for the funeral, and he has not left yet, so Ye only needs to go to a letter to move him with affection and reason, I believe that Zijing will not refuse, after all, no matter what, Huainan is also his hometown, if there is an opportunity to do something for the people of Huainan, he has no reason to refuse!" ”

Wang Chong was silent when he heard this, he was not as optimistic as Liu Ye, you must know that he really has no advantage compared with Sun Ce now, not to mention Lu Su's good friend Zhou Yu, who is also serving in the Jiangdong Army at the moment.

Liu Ye seemed to see through Wang Chong's thoughts, and added: "If the lord feels that only one letter is not safe, he might as well use both prongs, secretly order someone to go to Qu'a, and secretly take his mother back to Huainan. ”

Wang Chong's heart moved, to be honest, Liu Ye's plan is a little inhumane, doing so is equivalent to blackmailing Lu Su in disguise, the nature is almost exactly the same as Cao Cao's detention of Xu Shu's mother in history to force Xu Shu to abandon Liu Bei and go north to join him, the difference is only that Lu Su's mother and son should not resist themselves like Xu Shu's mother and son resisted Cao Cao.

Wang Chong was very entangled, on the one hand, he didn't want to tie Lu Su to his side by such despicable means, because in this way, even if Lu Su was really forced to stay in Jinfan, he might not really work for Jinfan if he had a problem in his heart; But on the other hand, Wang Chong didn't want to watch a top strategist slip out from under his nose and then throw himself into the arms of the enemy.

Contradiction! Struggle!

For this reason, Wang Chong fell into a long period of contemplation, and Liu Ye and others did not dare to disrupt Wang Chong's train of thought at this time, and the scene suddenly became a little silent.

"That's it!" After a long time, Wang Chong sighed, reason finally prevailed over emotion, "Don't beat his mother's idea for the time being, I will write a letter myself later, and send it to him together with Ziyang's letter, if he agrees to work for my Jinfan, it will not be too late to send someone to pick up his mother back!" ”

Liu Ye asked: "What if he doesn't obey?" ”

Wang Chong smiled: "Don't follow it, the twisted melon is not sweet, is it possible that without him Lu Zijing, my Jinfan will not be able to succeed?" ”

Liu Ye, who heard the answer, couldn't help but show excitement on his face, and praised: "The lord is wise!" ”

The gentleman has something to do and something not to do, self-confidence, open-mindedness, benevolence and righteousness, at this moment, Liu Ye really feels that he is following the right lord.

In fact, Liu Ye proposed to take back Lu Su's mother just now, more out of a temptation, if Wang Chong agreed, he would be very disappointed, and then he would suggest that Wang Chong go to a letter to test it first, if Lu Su can directly agree, naturally everyone will be happy, otherwise, it is not too late to use his mother to threaten him.

Heaven and earth Jun teacher, in the eyes of the ancients, in addition to heaven and earth, Jun is the biggest, and Liu Ye now recognizes Wang Chong as the master, so everything he does must naturally take Wang Chong's interests and wishes as the starting point, even if he is unwilling in his heart, but if Wang Chong insists, even if he will become enemies with his friends because of this, Liu Ye can only act according to orders.

However, Liu Ye was very glad that Wang Chong's choice made him extremely satisfied, and finally made him determined to stay in Jinfan to assist Wang Chong with all his might.

However, compared to Liu Ye, who was in a very good mood, although Wang Chong pretended to be very calm at the moment, he was somewhat depressed in his heart, because he didn't think he could compete with Sun Ce.

Of course, Wang Chong is not ready to give up easily, the matter is man-made, in fact, he has decided that once the letter cannot impress Lu Su, when he settles Zheng Bao, he will personally go to Dongcheng to show his sincerity, if one trip does not work, two trips, two trips, three trips, he does not believe that Lu Su will really be more difficult than Zhuge Liang to invite.
