Zhang Fei stepped forward and bowed for a long time: "Student Zhuojun Zhang Fei, Zhang Yide, have seen Master Lu!" ”

Is it really my protégé?

Lu Zhi looked at Zhang Fei again, but there was still no impression in his mind.

"Well, how did you know the old man was here?" Lu Zhi remained silent, neither admitting nor denying it.

Zhang Fei saw that Lu Zhi did not deny it, and secretly felt a little proud, but his tone was still respectful: "I went to Youbeiping to find Gongsun Zhan, Gongsun Zhan gave me a map, and I followed the map to find it." ”

knows Gongsun Zhan, it seems that he is really the old man's protégé.

Although Lu Zhi still couldn't remember when he had accepted Zhang Fei's protégé, his tone was obviously much closer: "Yide came to find the old man, but what is the matter?" ”

Zhang Fei replied: "Master Lu, it is my eldest brother Liu Bei, who wants to marry the niece of Liu Shuo, the king of the plains. But the uncle died early, and there was no elder in the eldest brother's clan who could preside over the marriage. ”

"Mr. Xianmou suggested that the eldest brother should be a teacher for one day and a father for life, and he could ask Master Lu to preside."

"I came to Shanggu County to invite Lu Shi to the plains."

Xuande?

Conspiracy?

Lu Zhi was taken aback: "The Mr. Xianmou in your mouth is Zheng Ping, the son of Zheng Xuan?" ”

Zhang Fei nodded again and again: "Yes, it is Mr. Kang Cheng's second son!" After the eldest brother became Gao Tang Ling, he went to Beihai to invite Mr. Xianmou to come out. ”

"Before I came to Youzhou, the eldest brother was the county magistrate of Gaotang County, and Mr. Xianmou was the county magistrate of Gaotang County, but now, the eldest brother should be the prime minister of the plains."

The more Lu Zhi listened, the more shocked he became: "Yide, you say it in detail." ”

Zheng Ping went to help Liu Bei, which surprised Lu Zhi.

This Liu Bei suddenly became the plain minister, and Lu Zhi was even more puzzled.

Lu Zhi still remembers that after Dong Zhuo abolished the emperor, in order to win over the popularity of celebrities, many celebrities went to local officials.

Among them, there is the Plains Phase!

So Zhang Fei met Zheng Ping by chance when he suppressed bandits in Gaotang County, and until Liu Bei became the nephew and son-in-law of Liu Shuozhn, the king of the plains, he chose the key points and told Lu Zhi in detail.

"Xuande can have such great ambitions, the old man is very relieved!" Lu Zhi couldn't help but sigh.

Although there are many protégés and former officials, there are very few that can make Lu Zhi remember.

And among them, Liu Bei is one.

The reason for remembering Liu Bei is not that Liu Bei is good at school, but that Liu Bei is a scumbag but good at making friends, and his ambitions are still very ambitious.

At that time, among a group of protégés who followed Lu Zhi to study, none of them would speak ill of Liu Bei.

Therefore, Lu Zhi asked Liu Bei to recite "Book of Han", "Book of Rites", "Liutao" and "Book of Shangjun", hoping that Liu Bei could achieve something in officialdom in the future.

Later, Lu Zhi conquered the Yellow Turban, and Liu Bei also made a lot of contributions in the campaign, and his impression of Liu Bei was also deeper.

But Lu Zhi's own career is not smooth, and it is difficult to take care of Liu Bei in the officialdom.

The only time he indirectly helped Liu Bei was when the general He Jin sent Biqiu Yi to Danyang to recruit troops, and Liu Bei joined as Lu Zhi's protégé halfway.

Later, Lu Zhi was hunted down by Dong Zhuo and lived in seclusion in Shanggu County, paying less attention to Liu Bei's affairs.

Although he lived in seclusion in Shanggu County, Lu Zhi always remembered that the Son of Heaven was still suffering in Chang'an, but he suffered from the lack of a chance for King Qin.

Although Gongsun Chan is in Youzhou, he can't do it if he wants to make Gongsun Chan Qinwang.

For Gongsun Zhan, King Qin might as well kill Hu.

Not only that, but the relationship between Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu is not very good.

Wuhuan saw the turmoil in the Han court and often plundered the people on the border.

Although Gongsun Zhan was ordered to conquer Wuhuan, he was restrained by Liu Yu.

And Gongsun Chan led the troops, only focusing on the strength of his own troops, and allowed his troops to harass the people, Liu Yu also paid attention to benevolent government and cared for the people, the two often had conflicts, and Lu Zhi did not want to get involved in the affairs between Liu Yu and Gongsun Zhan.

So Lu Zhi could only teach the villagers to read and write in Shanggu County to relieve the depression in his heart.

Now that he heard that Liu Beizhi was in Qingzhou and was based on the plain with the assistance of Zheng Ping, Lu Zhi's heart also ignited a long-lost blood.

"Since it's Xuande's marriage, how can the old man not go in person?"

"The King of the Plains is the younger brother of Emperor Huan, and his niece is also the queen of the imperial family, if the old man doesn't go, won't the King of the Plains underestimate Xuande?"

Lu Zhi is also a good person, and he only didn't mention the real purpose of going to Qingzhou, but followed Zhang Fei's words to preside over Liu Bei's marriage.

Seeing that Lu Zhi agreed happily, Zhang Fei was immediately overjoyed: "Master Lu, when are we leaving?" I borrowed 500 cavalry from Gongsun Zhan and have been waiting for many days. ”

"You also borrowed cavalry?" Lu Zhi was slightly surprised.

Zhang Fei laughed: "Mr. Xianmou said, the Lu division is a soldier who knows the soldiers, and there is a big difference between the Lu division with soldiers and horses and the Lu division without soldiers and horses. ”

Lu Zhi suddenly smiled and said, "Brother Kang Cheng's son is still as cunning as ever." Since it has been decided to go to Qingzhou, this preparation is indispensable. ”

"Yide can go to Zhuojun first, in the name of the old man and Xuande, recruit some talents, and go to Qingzhou together."

"The old man has to be cheeky to borrow some money and food from Brother Bo'an!"

The Bo'an brother in Lu Zhi's mouth is Liu Yu.

Zheng Ping's purpose, Lu Zhi has seen through it.

It is true to preside over Liu Bei's marriage, but it is also true to take the opportunity to let Lu Zhi raise troops in Qingzhou.

Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe, Lu Zhi has also seen it, and he is a mediocre talent who talks about high theories.

And the growth of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban also proves that Jiao He's talent is not enough to be a state assassin.

With Lu Zhi's fame, as well as the prestige of the Yellow Turbans in the past, this has come to Qingzhou, will Jiao He still disagree with the destruction of a few Yellow Turbans?

Even if Jiao He looked down on Liu Bei, he didn't dare to look at Lu Zhi.

Even, Jiao He, who has no good solution, may personally ask Lu Zhi to help.

After a pause, Lu Zhi looked at Zhang Fei, who was a little proud: "Yide, since you call me Master Lu, this gift of studying and apprenticeship can be made up." ”

"Huh?" The smile on Zhang Fei's face stopped abruptly, and his eyes were a little cramped: "Master Lu, is there anything that can be made up for this gift?" ”

Lu Zhi laughed: "It stands to reason that you can't make it up, but the old man is happy today, so I will allow you to make up the gift." ”

Tian Yu on the side, his eyes also became excited, and he stopped talking.

I wanted to learn from Zhang Fei and called Lu Shi directly with a cheeky face, but I was afraid of making Lu Zhi unhappy.

Lu Zhi saw Tian Yu's entanglement, and said, "Since you are here together, let's make up the gift together." ”

Tian Yu's eyes widened, and this sudden happy event made Tian Yu stunned directly on the spot.

"It's cheap, you kid, why don't you call Master Lu soon?" Zhang Fei pushed Tian Yu.

Tian Yu reacted and hurriedly saluted Lu Zhi: "Tian Yu, a native of Yuyang, meet Master Lu!" ”

Zhang Fei took out the prepared gift again, and wanted to go to find some more apprenticeship, but was stopped by Lu Zhi.

Now there are more urgent things to do, some vulgar rites, which can be saved.

Leave the mountain village.

Zhang Fei and Tian Yu's moods became excited.

Especially Tian Yu, who was originally just a cavalry commander under Gongsun Zhan, has now become Lu Zhi's disciple and student.

It's like waking up laughing when you fall asleep!

Zhang Fei's mood was the same, he played a trick and deliberately pretended to be humble and called Lu Shi, although Lu Zhi saw through his careful thinking, but he still became Lu Zhi's protégé.

"Haha, now I'm a righteous brother and a fellow brother with my eldest brother."

"If the second brother knew, wouldn't he be envious?"

"Well, when I have the opportunity, I will talk to Master Lu again, and let the second brother also worship under Master Lu."

Zhang Fei came to Zhuo County with good things in his arms.

This Zhuo County is the hometown of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, and they also have many old friends.

And Lu Zhi is also a native of Zhuo County, and his reputation is quite high in Zhuo County.

As soon as he heard that Liu Bei was going to marry the niece of Liu Shuo, the king of the plains, and sat in the plains and became the prime minister of the plains, even Lu Zhi had to go to preside over the marriage for Liu Bei in person.

This exciting news exploded in Zhuojun in an instant.

Outside Zhuo County, there are many heroes who don't know Liu Bei, but in Zhuo County, there are not many heroes who haven't heard of Liu Bei.

In the past, Liu Bei recruited villagers to fight for the Yellow Turban, and even wealthy businessmen Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang actively funded Liu Bei's money, grain, and horses, which were all famous under Liu Bei's early years in Zhuo County.

Although Liu Bei has been running around all these years and rarely returns to Zhuo County, there are still many heroes who still remember Liu Bei's name.

What's more, this time Liu Bei is famous in Zhuo County as the identity of the plain minister and the nephew and son-in-law of Liu Shuozhun of the king of the plains.

The poor in the downtown no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.

People are profit-seeking.

It may be money, power, or fame.

But no matter what the reason is, the names of Lu Zhi and Liu Bei are added together, and there is an endless stream of talented people who come to apply, and Tian Yu is dumbfounded.

"Oh, this makes me nostalgic, the scene of the old days of recruiting the Yellow Turban to raise the villagers, or our villagers in Zhuo County are more enthusiastic!"

But there are many talented people who have been recruited, and Zhang Fei is worried again.

After all, money and food are limited, and there are still 500 cavalry at Gongsun Zhan, if all of them are recruited, even the grain and grass to go to Qingzhou may not be enough.

"Third brother, they're all recruited! Lu Shi went to borrow grain and grass from Liu Yuanjun, presumably not bad for money and grain. "became the same door as Zhang Fei, and Tian Yu's title became a more cordial third brother.

Zhang Fei was actually reluctant to leave behind this group of talented people who were eager to apply.

After all, among these people, there are literati, there are also brave and strong people, as well as heroic heroes, and miscellaneous righteous followers.

Whether it is used as a clerk or to form an army, it is what Liu Bei urgently needs at the moment!

Especially the township brave and righteous servants, if they follow to Qingzhou, then Liu Bei can have a real subordinate lineage of soldiers and horses.

The people of Youzhou are fierce, and they are not inferior to the Danyang soldiers of Yangzhou.

The most important thing is that there are many Youzhou warriors who are good at riding and shooting, and many warriors have their own war horses!

If there is a descendant cavalry, who would dare to underestimate Liu Bei?

Zhang Fei pondered for a moment: "Full recruitment is definitely not possible, not everyone is suitable for these people to go to Qingzhou." Tian Yu, you are responsible for selecting those who are good at riding and shooting, and those who have war horses are preferred. ”

"I'll be in charge of selecting the scribes."

"This time, I'm going to bring a big surprise back to my eldest brother!"

Although Liu Bei is a plain minister, most of the soldiers and horses under his command are recruited from the plains.

No matter how much you try to win over, you will always make concessions with the Haoqiang clan in the plains.

Otherwise, why did these powerful warriors fund Liu Bei's soldiers and horses?

Once there is a dispute over interests, the military academy that works for Liu Bei may betray Liu Bei because of local interests.

But if Liu Bei has a Zhuojun army, it is different!

The Zhuojun soldiers are in the plains, and they will not have interests in the plains.

They will only follow Liu Bei to make contributions, which is the advantage of appointing people from the same county.

For example, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, in order to suppress the Haoqiang clan in Xuzhou, went to Danyang County to recruit a large number of township warriors.

State Pastoral Office.

Liu Yu was one of the few local assassins appointed as a state pastor.

Not only that, after quelling the rebellion of Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, Liu Yu was also canonized as Taiwei and Marquis of Rongqiu, and his prestige was unique in Youzhou for a while.

Even after Dong Zhuo abolished Emperor and took power, he also sent an envoy to win over Liu Yu and canonize Liu Yu as the Great Sima, and the Great Sima is above the Three Dukes!

If it weren't for Liu Yu's lack of the heart to be the emperor, he would have been able to get the support of the Hebei scholars when he ascended the throne and became the emperor.

"Zigan doesn't want to stay in Zhuojun, but he wants to go to Qingzhou, it seems that he is quite disappointed in the old man." Liu Yu sighed lightly.

Since Lu Zhi returned to Youzhou, Liu Yu has always wanted Lu Zhi to become a prominent man in Youzhou.

After all, with Lu Zhi's fame and ability, whether he is a county guard or a driver, it is more than enough.

With Lu Zhi here, he can also restrain Gongsun Zhan.

As a result, he didn't see each other for a few months, but Lu Zhi had to go to Qingzhou.

Lu Zhi chuckled: "Brother Bo'an, you know that my ambition is not in Youzhou, but in Chang'an. With the current situation in Youzhou, it is difficult to raise troops to serve the king again. ”

"But Qingzhou is different, you don't have to guard against the Hu people outside the plug, as long as the Yellow Turban is pacified, you can raise troops to march west and welcome the Son of Heaven!"

"Xuande has great ambitions, and now he wants to marry the niece of Liu Shuo, the king of the plains, if I don't go to help, I'm afraid that with Xuande's current reputation, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Qingzhou."

"It's all for the country, how can I be disappointed in Brother Bo'an?"

"Because I know that Brother Bo'an has a Han family in his heart, I came this time to ask Brother Bo'an to fund some grain and grass to Qingzhou."

Liu Yu exhaled softly: "How much grain does Zigan want?" ”

Lu Zhi said without thinking: "It's not much, it's enough for three thousand soldiers and horses to have three months of grain and grass." ”

That's not much?

Youzhou is bitterly cold, and there is not enough grain and grass.

As soon as Lu Zhi opened his mouth, he asked for three thousand soldiers and horses for three months' grain and grass, which made Liu Yu have to think carefully.

But looking at Lu Zhi's formation, this grain and grass is determined to be taken away today.

Long.

Liu Yu sighed again: "That's it! They are all for the country, if the old man does not fund this grain and grass, he will let his son be underestimated. ”

"It's just that the old man has been a little troubled recently, and I asked Zigan to solve the old man's doubts."

Lu Zhi asked: "What can confuse Brother Bo'an must not be a trivial matter, let's listen to it." ”

Liu Yu's eyes became complicated: "Since the failure of the state and county pastors to assassinate Dong Zhuo, there have been people who have come to lobby the old man, saying that Dong Zhuo is arrogant and self-defeating, and now the name of the Son of Heaven is not right, I hope that the old man can follow the example of Emperor Guangwu and raise the flag to fight against Dong." ”

Lu Zhi's face changed: "Although the Son of Heaven was abolished by Dong Zhuo, he is also the son of the first emperor, and now he is not immoral!" Who is lobbying Brother Bo'an? ”

"Such wolf ambitions, beheaded!"

Liu Yu was silent and did not answer.

Lu Zhi suddenly understood in his heart, and anger arose, what could make Liu Yu worry must not be an ordinary person.

"When I was afraid of Dong Zhuo, I was afraid to move forward, but it was positive to support the new monarch."

"A group of people who are greedy for fame and profit, I am ashamed to be with Lu Zhi!"

For the sake of my guarantee of 12,000, I beg to be determined!
