The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

When Cao Cao led the army to the south, Jiangdong was in a panic. Most of Sun Quan's civil servants and generals were descendants, and they didn't have the courage to confront Cao Jun.

Only Zhou Yu and Lu Su, against all odds, decided to confront Cao Cao.Resolutely confront Cao Jun.

As a result, the Sun Liu coalition army defeated Cao Cao in Chibi, establishing a three-point situation in the world.

The promotion of Sun Liu's coalition forces was also achieved by Lu Su's dealings in it.

Among the four governors of Eastern Wu, each one is extremely powerful. As the second governor, Lu Su, who succeeded Zhou Yu, can be so bad.

Liu Zheng asked Zhou Yu to train soldiers in Xuyi. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu and Lu Su, a pair of good friends, came together again.

Just as Liu Zheng was asking, two people came over from the hostile side.

At this time Zhou Yu saw it, and immediately pointed at Liu Zheng.

"Master, Lu Su is here."

Seeing Lu Su approaching, Zhou Yu immediately said something to Liu Zheng. Liu Zheng looked in the direction Zhou Yu said. At this time, he happened to see Lu Su and another person.

These two people were both about 20 years old. Lu Su was a few years older than Zhou Yu, but he also looked young.

Chapter 763 Liu Ziyang

While Liu Zheng was still looking at these two people, Lu Su had already approached and yelled at Zhou Yu on his own initiative.

"Zhou Yu, you are too good. I lost to you last time. Unexpectedly, I asked my friends to help me, but I couldn't win you."

Although Lu Su's tone was deeply dissatisfied, it also expressed his admiration for Zhou Yu. Although Zhou Yu was young, only 16 years old, he was able to convince Lu Su.

"Brother Lu Su, you are not bad, this time is much better than the last time, almost made me helpless."

"Hahaha, it's different this time. I brought in my good friend. I wanted to give you some flair. Who knows, I was defeated by you. You are really amazing. I admire you."

Zhou Yu thought of the last time when he first met Lu Su, their soldiers and horses easily defeated Lu Su's Xiangyong, but this time, the two sides fought for a long time before the winner was decided, which shows that this time , Lu Su did find capable people to come and help.

"Oh, I'm curious, brother Lu Su, who is the helper you are looking for, and it is so powerful."

"It can't be said that it's great, but you were defeated by you little brother Zhou Yu. It's just a shame."

Zhou Yu asked Lu Su curiously, but before Lu Su could speak, another person standing beside Lu Su took the initiative to answer Zhou Yu.

"Who is this"

When Zhou Yu saw this person open his mouth, he immediately became interested and asked the person in front of him.

The man didn't dare to take it too seriously, and responded modestly to Zhou Yu.

"I'm Liu Ye, a native of Huainan."

Zhou Yu hadn't heard much about Liu Ye's name, and when he heard the young man who was a few years older than him, he just nodded politely.

But Liu Zheng, who was standing behind Zhou Yu, changed his expression when he heard this person say that his name was Liu Ye.

Hearing Lu Su just now made Liu Zheng happy, and now hearing Liu Ye again made Liu Zheng even more ecstatic.

Liu Ye is a person that Liu Zheng is too familiar with.

He is one of the few people surnamed Liu in the history of the Three Kingdoms, and he is a counselor.

As a descendant of the Han royal family, Liu Ye not only didn't think about embracing soldiers and respecting himself, but he felt that Liu's surname was going to disappear, and never thought of revive him himself.

However, Liu Ye is not stupid at all, on the contrary, he is extremely smart. In Cao Wei's camp, there are many counselors, and Liu Ye has a place.

Under Cao Cao, Liu Ye is an important adviser. He has repeatedly offered clever ideas, and he often hits the nail on the head with the development of the world situation.Liu Ye served in several dynasties and was the elder of Cao Wei's three dynasties.

The reason why Liu Zheng has a great impression of him is that although this guy is a strategist, he is brave and resourceful.

When Liu Ye was seven years old, his mother died.When her mother was dying, she said: "Your father Liu Pu's servant has the nature of slandering others. I am worried that there will be chaos after my death. I hope you and your brother can get rid of this person when they grow up."

Liu Ye remembered his mother's words. At the age of 13, according to his mother's will, he beheaded his father's favored waiter, and then confessed to his father frankly.

When Liu Ye was in his 20s, the world was in chaos, and most of the tyrants in Yangzhou were unwilling to suppress the strong and help the weak, and were cunning and cruel.There are Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, Xu Gan and others in Yangzhou who support their own self-respect. Among them, Zheng Bao is the most brave and decisive, with outstanding talent and strength, and is feared by the local people.

At that time, Zheng Bao wanted to capture the common people to cross the Yangtze River to the Jiangnan area. He took a fancy to Liu Ye as a local high-ranking celebrity, and wanted to force him to advocate this strategy.Liu Ye was very scared when he found out, but Zheng Bao never found him.At this time Cao Cao sent an envoy to Yangzhou, Liu Ye went to see the envoy, discussed the current situation, and asked the envoy to stay with him for a few days.

Zheng Bao then led hundreds of people to meet the envoy with cattle and wine, and waited for Liu Ye.Liu Ye set up a feast of food and wine for Zheng Bao's followers outside the central gate, while he and Zheng Bao had a banquet inside, and secretly asked someone to kill Zheng Bao by toasting.But Zheng Bao didn't like drinking, and he paid attention to them, so that person didn't dare to do it.

Liu Ye personally beheaded Zheng Bao with a saber, and beheaded him, threatening his followers: "Mr. Cao has an order, and anyone who dares to move will be guilty of the same crime as Bao." The followers were shocked and scared when they saw this, Run back to the camp.

At that time, there were still thousands of elite soldiers in the camp. In order to prevent them from rebelling, Liu Ye rode Zheng Bao's horse to the gate of Zheng Bao's camp, and told some leaders about the misfortunes, welfare and disadvantages. Finally, everyone kowtowed to welcome Liu Ye.After Liu Ye entered the camp, he appeased the masses, convinced them to submit, and elected Liu Ye as the new leader.

Don't look at Liu Ye as a strategist, but he is not inferior to those generals in the slightest.

If it weren't for his status as a clan member of the Han Dynasty, with his ability, he would definitely be valued even more in Cao Wei.

Liu Zheng didn't expect that he would meet Lu Su and Liu Ye in this place.

If Liu Zheng can recruit these two people under his command, it will be of great benefit to the empire he has just established.

Liu Zheng lacks counselors, and both Lu Su and Liu Ye can serve as counselors. Whether they are listening to Liu Zheng's army or assigned to military camps in various places, they are extremely useful.

"You two, it's true that heroes come out of youth. People like me are already old."

When Zhou Yu and Lu Su were talking, Liu Zheng said something.

Originally, Liu Zheng was standing behind Zhou Yu, which had attracted the attention of some Lu Su and Liu Ye. However, Lu Su only knew Zhou Yu, and didn't know Liu Zheng behind Zhou Yu, so he didn't take the initiative to ask who Liu Zheng was. .

Now that Liu Zheng spoke, he naturally attracted the attention of Lu Su and Liu Ye, and then asked Zhou Yu.

"Brother Zhou, this is"

"Come, come, let me introduce you, this is my master, Liu Zheng."

Zhou Yu took the initiative to stand up and introduced Liu Zheng's identity to Lu Su and Liu Ye. Liu Zheng didn't stop him. After all, Liu Zheng now doesn't need to hide his identity anymore. He is not afraid of others knowing his identity.

When Lu Su and Liu Ye saw Zhou Yu saying that Liu Zheng was his master, they hadn't reacted yet, but when they heard Liu Zheng's name, their expressions changed suddenly.

Both of these two people are from near Xuzhou. Liu Zheng's name has already been heard around here.It's not just as simple as hearing it, it's like thunder.

In Yangzhou, near Xuzhou, there are still people who have not heard of Liu Zheng's name, I am afraid that there are not many people.

Lu Su and Liu Ye are both children of the big local families, so they naturally understand better. Their expressions changed suddenly. Looking at Liu Zheng in front of them, they were speechless for a while in surprise.

Chapter 764 Naxian

"You are Liu Zheng who just proclaimed himself emperor"

Liu Zheng's fame is so loud in Huainan and Xuzhou, Liu Ye and Lu Su have both heard of it.

It's just that they didn't know before that Zhou Yu was Liu Zheng's apprentice.

And even if he knew that Zhou Yu was Liu Zheng's apprentice, he didn't think that he would see the famous Liu Zheng here.

"I didn't expect that the two young heroes would have heard of my name. I'm really flattered."

Liu Zheng also expressed a little humility, and spoke to Lu Su and Liu Ye. In Liu Zheng's heart, he made up his mind that if he wanted to take these two under his command, he should not be too arrogant to offend the other party.

"Of course I've heard of it. It's rare that there is anyone around here who hasn't heard of your lord's name. It's what surprised me. I didn't expect that I would be able to meet such a big man as His Majesty Liu Zheng."

Lu Su originally wanted to call Liu Zheng an adult, but on second thought, now that Liu Zheng has proclaimed himself emperor, he still wants to call Liu Zheng His Majesty.

Although Liu Zheng's throne was not recognized by everyone, at least in front of Liu Zheng, people like Lu Su and Liu Ye did not have much dislike for Liu Zheng.

Compared with the two places of Huainan and Xiapi, both places where Liu Zheng once ruled for a period of time.

Here, Liu Zheng's reputation is still very high, because before Liu Zheng ruled here, people from the imperial court occupied this place and extorted money from the people. Although the people didn't have any opinions at that time, it was because there was no comparison.

After Liu Zheng occupied these two places, although it didn't take long, he exempted the people here from a lot of taxes, which made the life of the local people better and their happiness higher. In the eyes.

In particular, the imperial examination system developed by Liu Zheng allows people like Lu Su to participate in it and thus obtain official positions.

From several perspectives, neither Lu Su nor Liu Ye had anything against Liu Zheng.

"What kind of a big man am I, Liu Zheng, but two heroes. I value them very much. The battle with my disciple just now is quite methodical. He is a rare talent. I don't know if he is interested. Come to serve in my court"

Now that Liu Zheng is in this position, if you want to recruit talents, you don't need to beat around the bush, just get straight to the point. If the other party is interested, Liu Zheng will come down to invite him personally, and the other party will probably not refuse.

If he refuses, then Liu Zheng also knows that the other party is not willing to bow to him, and there is no point in talking further.

"My lord, it makes us feel very happy to value the two of us so much. Liu Ye is willing to serve you."

Lu Su hadn't opened his mouth to agree, but Liu Ye agreed directly.

It's not that Lu Su doesn't want to join Liu Zheng, but that he is different from Liu Ye.

Although Liu Ye is a clan member of the Han family, but in Liu Ye's generation, he actually has no titles, at most he is a wealthy family, and he, Liu Ye, is the second son. He can't inherit anything in the family and needs everything. rely on yourself.

But Lu Su is different. Lu Su's family is a big family in Dongcheng County. Although Lu Su lost his father as a young man, the family has accumulated a lot of money in several lifetimes. There are several rice warehouses for food alone.

Historically, Zhou Yu would go to him to borrow food, so one can imagine Lu Su's status in Dongcheng.

Moreover, Huainan, where Liu Ye was located, was originally Liu Zheng's territory. Now that Liu Zheng directly invited him, Liu Ye could directly enter the official career without passing the imperial examination. This was exactly what Liu Ye wanted, so how could he refuse.

But Lu Su is different. The East City where Lu Su is located is close to Xuzhou. Although it was also Liu Zheng's territory before, it is not now.

Being in the border area, if Lu Su took refuge in Liu Zheng, then Lu Su's family in Dongcheng would be targeted by the imperial court.

So Lu Su was thinking about what to do with his family.

At this time, Liu Zheng heard Liu Ye saying that he was willing to take refuge, and his face was suddenly happy.

Immediately answered loudly.

"Okay, Mr. Liu Ye, you really have vision."

"Mr. Lu Su, what do you think?"

Liu Zheng immediately turned his gaze to Lu Su who was on the side.

Lu Su hesitated for a moment, but agreed.

"Your Majesty, Lu Su is also willing, but"

Lu Su agreed, but there was more to his words.

"Mr. Lu Su, just say what you want"

"It's just that my family is still in the East City. If you rely on the adults, my family"

"It's just a trivial matter, Mr. Lu Su, you can arrange your family to live in Wu County as much as possible."

With Liu Zheng's arrangement, Lu Su, who was still a little worried, naturally had no worries, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, Lu Su is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse"

After getting the replies from Lu Su and Liu Ye, everyone was overjoyed, and a smile finally appeared on Liu Zheng's face, and he planned to take Lu Su and Liu Ye back to Xuyi City together.

But at this time, Lu Su spoke again.

"My lord, I can't just leave now to seek refuge with you."

"Forehead"

"We are training here, and there is one more important thing to do."

"what's the matter"

"Liu Ye and I are here to train Xiangyong, in fact, we want to deal with Zheng Bao, a big water thief in Hongze Lake."

Lu Su told the whole story at this time.

It turned out that there were some powerful clan forces near Dongcheng County.Because Liu Zheng and the imperial court are fighting near here, it is impossible to take care of all the places while fighting. This place has become a zone of no matter, and some powerful forces will naturally breed.

Among them, there will be several forces gathered near Chaohu Lake and Hongze Lake, such as Xu Gan, Zhang Duo, and Zheng Bao.

And Zheng Bao, who is the most powerful among them, gathered around Hongze Lake, gathered more than ten thousand people, and once reached the point of attacking the town.

If Zheng Bao's men had no food, they would send people to Dongcheng to raid, because they did not dare to go to Liu Zheng's territory, nor did they dare to go to the court's place. Those places in between became Zheng Bao's targets.

Lu Su was originally just a rich second generation with a little money in his family, but when Zheng Bao came to loot Dongcheng, he could only stand up and organize some young people from the village to fight against Zheng Bao.

After coming and going, I formed some grudges with Zheng Bao, and now the grudges are getting bigger and bigger, then Zheng Bao is already gathering people to attack Dongcheng.

In order to fight against Zheng Bao, Lu Su could only train his manpower to deal with Zheng Bao's attack.

Now that Lu Su is gone, Dongcheng must be over.

After listening to Lu Su's words, Liu Zheng didn't care at all.

"It turned out to be such a small matter, I will help you settle it."
