Lu Min entered the door with a gloomy face, sat on the seat without saying a word, Liu Xiu and Liu Bei glanced at each other, did not dare to be careless, hurriedly greeted him, sat beside him in a proper manner, and asked cautiously: "Sir, have you ever eaten?" ”

Lu Min waved his hand: "I have already eaten at Lord Thorn Shi's side, you don't need to show up anymore." ”

"Whoa." Liu Xiu answered, and after a while, he asked again, "Things didn't go well?" ”

Lu Min raised his head and glanced at Liu Xiu, there was some displeasure in his eyes, Liu Xiu's identity was just a book, a miscellaneous servant who copied and wrote, and it was not appropriate to take the initiative to ask about these things, and his father Lu Zhi was afraid that he would scold Liu Xiu on the spot. However, Lu Min is not Lu Zhi, and he can't pull his face to reprimand Liu Xiu, who is not much different in age from himself, but he just frowned, snorted, and did not answer in detail.

Lu Min's reaction did not exceed Liu Xiu's expectations, he just smacked his lips, and said softly with a timid look: "Sir, the student has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Lu Min's eyes flashed, and he was about to get angry, but he met Liu Xiu's calm eyes, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart: although he is not from the county, his father Liu Yuanqi is also a small landlord in Zhuo County. He may be able to understand something he doesn't know.

"If there is anything that should not be said, let's listen to it, and let's refer to it together." Lu Min twisted the short beard under his chin and said with some reserve.

Liu Xiu sighed secretly, although the Lu family is a poor family in Zhuo County, but Lu Zhi's identity is different now, and Lu Min also has a bit of self-confidence, with this mentality to negotiate with those local heroes, of course there will be no good results. The reason why he took the initiative to ask was because his heart disease was gone and he was no longer worried about revealing anything, and on the other hand, if he wanted to follow Lu Zhi to Luoyang, he had to make Lu Zhi feel that he had value to use.

"Sir, I think your starting point is a little different." Liu Xiu said unhurriedly, sounding both cautious and a little confident. Lu Min blinked and listened quietly. Liu Xiu continued: "What Mr. means is probably to focus on Youzhou and Hebei. Now there are seven counties in Youzhou, and six counties are difficult to preserve, leaving only Zhuo County as a place that the Hu people have never entered. If the time comes, Zhuo County will be lost, and if Zhuo County is lost, Hebei will be uneasy, so Mr. will strongly advocate preparing for war in Zhuo County and strive to ensure that Hebei does not lose. ”

Lu Min nodded, put away the indifference on his face, and let go of the hand that twisted his beard. Although these views are not brilliant to him, they are rare for a young man who has never been out, and no one can think of this in so many places he has just seen.

"And those families in Zhuo County are different." Liu Xiu is very confident in calligraphy and painting, and even a little proud, but he doesn't know anything about politics, and the first time he expresses his opinion, he has to talk about the east and west in front of Lu Min, and he is talking about the Han Dynasty.

Seeing that Liu Xiu was a little nervous, Lu Min smiled silently and encouraged, "What's the difference?" ”

"The first thing they have to think about is their own industry." Liu Xiu's face was a little red, he glanced at Lu Min gratefully, and then said, "If you want to fight, you have to spend money." If it was to spend money to protect their homeland, they might not have an opinion, but now that the Hu people have not hurt them, they are naturally a little hesitant to pay for the war at this time. He thought for a moment, and then said: "The people of the township, if they want to have a vision like Mr., I'm afraid it will be difficult for some strong people. ”

Lu Min nodded silently and sighed softly: "You are right. It's not just hesitation, it's just unanimous opposition. ”

Liu Xiu was also a little surprised, he only estimated that there might be objections, but he didn't expect the objections to be so big.

"The industry is mainly in the city is better, although they are a little worried, they still did not refuse in person, the industry outside the city is different, they are worried that once the fight starts, the city can be preserved, and the outside of the city will inevitably be poisoned by the Hu people, and they have opposed. At the moment, there is no objection, and I guess it may only be the Ximao family. Lu Min sighed: "Everyone forgets justice when they see self-interest, and the heroes in the local area are so knowledgeable, can I not lose the territory of the Han Dynasty?" ”

Liu Xiu was speechless, Lu Min's words are a bit bookish, your Lu family doesn't have a few acres of land anyway, the Hu people are here, you hide in the city, the people are fine, there will not be much loss, the battle is over, you have merit, maybe the court will make an edict, and your whole family will move to Luoyang. But others are different, people can run, fine and soft can be taken away, and the house was burned by the Hu people, what a big loss. Don't say anything else, let's just say that the yard of my house, although it is only a small courtyard in Sanjin, but it is also a lot of wealth, if it is burned by the Hu people, do you have a reconstruction project or a housing project?

It's just that these words are obviously useless to Lu Min, he must say, you are also forgetting justice for selfish gain, you should focus on the overall situation, don't stick to some personal losses, but when did the fucking overall situation take care of the people.

"Sir, I don't think those people can understand these truths." Liu Xiu felt a little awkward, if he didn't want to leave Zhuo County, if he hadn't traveled through two thousand years, and he had some sense of the overall situation, I'm afraid he wouldn't have said this: "The only people who can think from the big picture like Mr. are Lord Thorn Shi and Lord Taishou." It is only by convincing them that it is possible to convince those people. ”

Lu Min laughed dryly, and shook his head helplessly: "Don't you know this truth?" I just talked to Lord Thorn Shi for a long time, that's the plan, but Lord Thorn Shi is bent on soothing, and he doesn't have the heart to start a war with the Hu people at all, as for Lord Taishou, he didn't come directly, and it was presumed that he was not in good health, and everything was ordered by Lord Thorn Shi. Lu Min shook his head again and sighed again: "Lord Thorn Shi is a scholar, and he wants to appease the Hu people, although there is some wishful thinking, but he has no selfish intentions. Taishou's family is in Taiyuan, thousands of miles away from here, no matter how fierce the Hu people are, they can't hurt his family business, he just thinks that he will be transferred to another place after the three-year term, where is he still in the mood to do this, he really wants to start a war with the Hu people, if he wins, his merit is limited, if he loses, but he has to bear the main responsibility. ”

Liu Xiu frowned, thinking of Gongsun Zhan's disdain when he mentioned Liu Yu, the assassin of the Great Master, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. Lu Min is a scholar, and that Liu Yu is even more of a scholar, he actually wants to appease the Hu people, he really wants to appease the Hu people, and ten of the eleven counties in Youzhou have become the racecourse of the Hu people, and they come to fight the grass valley every winter? But compared with Liu Yu, that bullshit is too guarded, as a party leader, a middle and senior cadre, he only cares about his own interests, and does not think about the overall situation at all. You don't think about the overall situation, and you still expect those local old people to think about the overall situation? It's a joke.

He glanced at Lu Min, and said in his heart Since you know this, it will be even more boring to blame those heroes.

Lu Min's heart was depressed, he sat there silently, he didn't expect to hear any valuable advice from Liu Xiu, the reason why he was willing to say to Liu Xiu was that he was unhappy in his heart, and he wanted to confide in others, and secondly, he wanted to consider Liu Xiu's knowledge to see if it was possible to continue cultivating.

"I have an idea." Liu Bei, who had not spoken, suddenly said.

Lu Min glanced at him, "Tell me about it." ”

"There are those who seek profit, and there are also those who avoid harm." Liu Bei looked at Lu Min a little shyly, and then at Liu Xiu, his face was a little nervous: "They are unwilling to prepare for war, because they are afraid of losses and loss of their existing comfort." But if the Hu people are already about to fight, their comfort is difficult to guarantee, and their interests may also suffer heavy losses? Can they still think that? ”

Lu Min frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about, when did the Hu people call over?" ”

Liu Bei smiled a little proudly: "There are often Hu people on the border, do they have any plans to call over, whether the call belongs to the Hu people or the Xianbei people, how do those people know, as long as the government says so, how can they not believe it?" ”

Lu Min was stunned, and looked at Liu Bei with a little unpleasant eyes. Liu Xiu thought about it for a while, and then understood what Liu Bei meant, however, he felt that this method sounded good, but it was extremely risky to implement, once it was discovered, he was afraid that the person who came up with the idea would be scolded to death, and maybe someone would dig up the ancestral grave. Besides, Lu Min is a decent gentleman, if nothing else, he probably wouldn't have adopted such a bad idea, Liu Bei said this, but it would leave a bad impression on him.
