Liu Qi's words were very solemn, showing his immense trust in Zhou Yu.

A man dies for his confidant, and Zhou Yu is extremely grateful for Liu Qi's trust.

He never expected that he just mentioned a name to Liu Qi, and Liu Qi agreed without hesitation. What kind of trust does this require?

Of course, one reason why Liu Qi did this was to win over Zhou Yu, and the other reason was that he already knew the name Lu Su.

But any normal person in later generations, as long as they hear Lu Su's name, how can they not be moved by it?

This is the real reason why Liu Qi really agreed without hesitation.

The fundamental reason is not Zhou Yu, but that he knows Lu Su!

But Zhou Yu didn't know this.

At that moment, Zhou Yu began to write a letter and sent someone to deliver it to Lu Su who was living in Chao.

…

Although Lu Su's hometown is in Dongcheng County, in recent years, in order to avoid the war and some troubles, he moved to Juchao.

In fact, the Huainan and Xuzhou areas have always been full of talented people, including Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Chen Deng and others, who were all targeted by Yuan Shu at one time.

But it is a pity that Yuan Shu, who has always been self-reliant, was completely embarrassed in front of these people. No matter how he sent people to conquer them, these people just didn't respond.

What's even more despicable is that even though these famous figures in the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to join Yuan Shu, even people like Lu Su refused to join Yuan Shu, which greatly increased Yuan Shu's frustration.

Forget about others, in fact, in Yuan Shu's eyes, Lu Su is an extremely unreliable type of person.

What is extremely unreliable?

To put it simply, it is a waste of money.

The basic principle of why the powerful families of the Eastern Han Dynasty were able to dominate the local area was that they continued to annex land for hundreds of years, and the more land they annexed, the larger the land.

Among the powerful states, others were constantly annexing land. Only Lu Su did the opposite.

Before the pastoralists in various places gradually became independent, Lu Su began to do the opposite. Not only did he not manage family affairs, but he gave away a large amount of property and sold land. He used the property in exchange for his property to help the village and make friends with heroes.

Heroes use it to expand their reputation.

To put it bluntly, Lu Su is, in a sense, the Eastern Han Dynasty version of Lu Zijing in Timely Rain, and Hu Baoyi in the Huaisi area.

Although Lu Su was from a noble family and had land and private property in his family, he was not a particularly well-known high-ranking family. In other words, in a more fashionable way, he was neither a high-ranking scholar nor a low-ranking scholar.

Under this situation, Lu Su combined with the general trend of the world and designed a path for himself.

The world is about to be in chaos, and heroes are rising together. This is a great opportunity for me to betray my field and become famous in the world. If I can become famous in the world at this time, and then choose a hero to assist him, I can bring myself and the entire family to a new era.

New steps and heights.

People with a long-term vision will naturally understand that Lu Su is hoarding connections, improving his reputation, and looking for opportunities to soar in troubled times.

But most people are still short-sighted.

Although Lu Su's idea is very good, it is a pity that not everyone can reach his level of thinking, and there are also many people who can't stand his behavior and style, including his tribe.

Selling land and squandering money may seem like a "timely gift" to outsiders, but in the eyes of one's own family, this is a prodigal who should be tied up and killed with a big stick.

But the problem is that this boy Lu is very lucky. The clan he belongs to is the one with the most luxuriant branches and leaves, the largest family business, and the strongest voice among the clan. Lu Su himself is the eldest son and also controls the clan.

Most of the foundations and land in the country.

In other words, people who are qualified can spend money blindly, and it is justifiable.

But the disciples of the same generation as Lu Su would not shrink back because of this. After all, it would be hard for anyone to feel bad if their family resources were harmed by Lu Su in this way.

So they each invited their clan elders to denounce Lu Su together, hoping to use the power of the clan elders to dislodge Lu Su from the position of father-in-law.

But the problem is that Lu Su is very smart and very righteous. The land he sold only belongs to his own branch and has nothing to do with other people's. Moreover, Lu Su is also very prepared for the benefits that the elders of the clan deserve.

It was in place and no one among the elders in the clan was wronged.

Therefore, Lu Su's tribe could not capture him at all.

In the end, after a struggle with other members of the family, Lu Su sold all his property, took his belongings and servants, and went from Dongcheng to Juchao. From then on, he no longer had the slightest relationship with the family and just concentrated on his work.

Run your own business.

But it has to be said that Lu Su's mother does support him.

In Lu's mother's view, her son was different from others and was born to be a great person.

As a mother, I must support him no matter what.

In this way, Lu Su's mother followed Lu Su to Juchao. She unconditionally supported everything Lu Su did.

Although Lu Su lost most of his family fortune, as the troubled times came, his reputation grew bigger and bigger. As a descendant of two generations and three princes, Zhou Yu was just one of his many friends, which shows that Lu Su

's great reputation.

And he also got Yuan Shu's conquest. In his mother's view, Lu Su's family fortune that had been lost over the years had finally been settled and rewarded. After all, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family were famous all over the world, and they could get Yuan's conquest.

It was really Lu Su's luck.

Lu's mother was very happy, but Lu Su opposed her and refused to apply. He said that Yuan Shu was not a master, but once he defected to him, it would be a secret betrayal, and he would regret it for the rest of his life.

If it were any other mother, when she saw her son being so picky and unprotected, she would have beaten him to death with a stick in her loving mother's hand, but Lu Su's mother obviously had a mysterious confidence in her son.

He believed in his son without reservation, and from that moment on, he regarded Yuan Shu as a fool.

However, in order to fear Yuan Shu's revenge, Lu Su just pretended to be ill and said that he was ill and could not go to his post for a while.

Later, after procrastinating again and again, Yuan Shu suffered a stroke and became paralyzed, so he could no longer remember Lu Su.

During this period, the Jiangdong Sun family also sent people to recruit him once. Although Yuan Shu was somewhat tempted, he still did not make up his mind.

Until this time, Zhou Yu sent someone to invite him to Runan to meet the emperor.

After Lu Su got the news, he almost jumped up with excitement.

The true master of the Ming Dynasty is also the emperor! There is no better master in the world than this.

…

In the Lu Mansion, Lu Su began to pack up his belongings and notified the soldiers he was training to accompany him to Runan.

While Lu Su was packing, an old woman was in Lu Su's room. She asked hesitantly, "Does my son really want to go to Runan? Have you thought about it carefully?"

The old woman is the mother of Lu Su.

Lu Su stopped his movements when he heard this, and a gentle smile appeared on his bushy face: "Mother, I have been waiting for this day for so many years. This is the emperor's move, the conquest with Yuan Shu.

It’s simply incomparable.”

Mother Lu said with some confusion: "Since Your Majesty wants to recruit people, my son can go there alone, why do you have to lead the whole family away? You support so many private people, aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will blame you?"
