Chapter 51 Gong Jin is hard to find
Liu Bei became complacent, but he made a mistake. Originally he just wanted to show off his son, but he didn't want Lu Su's evaluation of him to rise several levels in an instant.
It's a pity that the matter about his son Xianyu needs to be kept secret for now, otherwise the other party's face will definitely be very interesting.
But even so, Lu Su was shocked by what Liu Bei and his son revealed. If this was a game, then Lu Su's loyalty and expectations for Liu Bei had already increased a lot.
Liu Bei was a little regretful. It was rare for Lu Su to volunteer to recommend talents, but he ended up getting into a car with his own son.
He asked unwillingly: "Zijing, are there any wise men to recommend?"
Lu Su replied: "There is another person, this person is more famous, and he must have been recruited by the Lord. "
Liu Bei immediately answered: "Who is Zijing talking about?"
"Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin!"
Lu Su loudly praised his close friend: "This He is a native of Shu County, Lujiang County. He comes from a well-established family. His ancestors were two generations of Three Dukes. His grandfather Zhou Jing and his uncle Zhou Zhong both held the post of Three Dukes and Taiwei. His father Zhou Yi once served as the Luoyang magistrate. He was born in Lujiang with two thousand stones. A prominent local family
Zhou Gongjin was tall, majestic, proficient in music, and ambitious. He has the ambition to swallow up the universe and the intention to mix within the sea. He is truly a handsome young man, number one in Lujiang. "
Liu Bei was shocked. He turned to Liu Feng and asked, "Feng'er, do you know Zhou Gongjin? ”
In fact, what Liu Bei originally wanted to ask was why he didn’t recommend Zhou Yu to him, because Liu Feng even recommended Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, both locals in Lujiang. This is a Jiang thief.
Since even Lian recommended If the generals and thieves knew about it, how could they not know about such a famous young celebrity in Lujiang?
Lu Su originally thought that Liu Bei must conquer Zhou Yu, but after hearing this question, he was surprised to find that the other party did not? Meet Zhou Yu.
So, he also turned his surprised and puzzled eyes to Liu Feng, and waited with Liu Bei for Liu Feng's answer.
Liu Feng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and began to explain: "Father, my child has naturally heard of Zhou Gongjin for a long time. It's just that he is a famous person with a prominent family background, and there is no shortage of opportunities to become an official.
Before Zhou Gongjin was appointed by Yuan Shu and served as the chief of the residence.
There was also an elegant incident where he went to Mr. Lu's house to borrow food, and Mr. Lu asked him to give it to him. "
Liu Beichong. As Lu Su nodded in approval, Lu Su looked calm, but he was still a little happy in his heart, and secretly thanked Liu Feng for making his name known to the emperor.
Liu Feng continued: "But soon Zhou Gongjin realized that Yuan Shu was nepotistic, close to evil spirits, and had no master, so he left Yuan Shu and returned home to raise his wife."
"The child also knows Zhou Gongjin's talent. Overflowing and heroic.
When Zhou Gongjin was young, he met Sun Polu to challenge Dong, and his family moved to Shu. He happened to meet Sun Ce, the son of Sun Polu, and they had a similar spirit, so they became friends
At this time, Sun Ce inherited his father's legacy. He had just retrieved his father's old troops from Yuan Shu, and wanted to cross the river to Hengjiang to help his uncle and brother defeat Liu Yao. At that time, Zhou Yuzhi succeeded his father as the governor of Danyang, and Sun Bo Fu must have thought of Zhou Yu.
With the friendship between the two, he was afraid that although his father had the intention to acquire Yu, he would not be able to do so at the right time. ”
After hearing this, Liu Bei and Lu Su finally understood.
Although Liu Feng's words were very tactful, the meaning was very clear.
That is because Zhou Yu was born in a noble family and had no shortage of opportunities. Even Yuan Shu eagerly wanted to be his candidate, but Zhou Yu looked down on him.
Our old Liu family has just taken charge of Xuzhou. People really may not like us, and the opportunity is not right.
Sun Jian’s son Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have been in love since they were young. Now that Sun Ce is on his own again, he must go to Zhou Yu for help. Zhou Yu will definitely be happy to help Sun Ce. Let’s not humiliate ourselves. .
Liu Bei and Lu Su were both silent.
The former sighed a little, remembering that this journey has not been easy.
It’s not like Liu Bei has never met celebrities, but how could these celebrities have ever seen Liu Bei in their eyes? Those with a good attitude would flatter him, while those with a bad attitude would almost look at him with their nostrils.
Otherwise, when Kong Rong was beaten by the Yellow Turban Army and couldn't get out, when Taishi Ci broke out and asked him for help, how could Big Ear Brother be so excited?
Does Kong Beihai also know about me, Pingyuan Liu Bei?
This sentence is full of sadness.
Lu Su was completely convinced by Liu Feng's thorough knowledge of Huaisi's situation.
Hearing that Liu Feng knew so much about Zhou Yu's family, even Lu Su, who thought he was Zhou Yu's confidant, didn't know many things.
It can be seen that Liu Bei is definitely not as weak as he appears on the surface. The Liu family must have many trump cards hidden in the secret. At least in terms of intelligence, it is the most that Lu Su has seen in his life.
Lu Su's heart gradually became hot.
Lu Su was a man of bold temperament, generous with his wealth, and his only ambition in life was to make achievements.
The better Liu Bei performs and the stronger his strength, doesn't it mean that Lu Su has a greater chance of getting what he wants?
So, Lu Su decided to increase investment.
“My lord, I didn’t expect that the young master knows so much about Huaisi.
It's just that Zhou Gongjin is indeed a talented person for Wang Zuo, with both civil and military skills. It would be a pity to miss him.
Su Bucai is willing to write a letter and complain to Gong Jin. If he can persuade Gong Jin to submit, wouldn't everyone be happy? "
Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard this and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you for your hard work, Zi Jing. If this can be done, I will remember Zi Jing's great contribution. "
Lu Su naturally gave in repeatedly.
Then, Lu Su said again: "My lord, Xuzhou has just gone through the war, and everything is waiting to be done.
People should be put first in everything, but money and food should not be ignored.
Xuzhou is thousands of miles away, with fertile land and a large population.
Although he was killed by Cao Yanzhou and suffered heavy losses, it was not impossible to recover.
I sincerely ask the Lord to open up the fields, gather the victims, reclaim the wasteland, and accumulate grain and grass to support the army. ”
The second strategy proposed by Lu Su was the same as that of Liu Feng. They wanted to persuade Liu Bei to farm and accumulate grain to feed the soldiers.
"What Zijing said is very true!"
Liu Bei immediately agreed. His eyes were full of appreciation and approval, and his face showed joy: "Zijing, it can be said that heroes have the same views. To tell you the truth, the state is already collecting supplies and preparing to start farming after the spring begins."
Lu Su was overjoyed, and then added: "The Su family has a small amount of money, and now Xuzhou has been decided, and they want to start farming! The government of Susi Prefecture may be short of food and equipment, so I brought more than 100 men with me, all of whom were brave and brave men from the countryside.
I brought with me 5,000 dan of grain and 30 oxen for farming. Head, two hundred farm tools, five hundred thousand money, thirty good bows, five thousand arrows, and two horses, all of which are presented to the lord.
These common things are not enough to repay the lord's kindness. I would like to express my solemn gratitude and hope that my lord will accept it.”
Liu Bei's eyes widened when he heard this. He didn't expect that Lu Su would bring so many things and even give them to him.
This is the largest investment he has ever received, second only to the four thousand Danyang soldiers donated by Tao Qian and the Mi family's tens of millions of investments.
