【Chapter 509】 Why did you meet once?
"Hahaha!"
General Jinjia laughed and nodded, "Brother Zijing is knowledgeable and can be guessed. He is a native of the northern county of Xialiangzhou, Li, Zheng Feng, whose courtesy name is Wenchang. Brother Zijing asked him to sit down."
While speaking, the general of Jinjia raised his hand and signaled Lu Su to sit beside him, as if he was interfering with his affairs and regarded himself as his master.
However, what is interesting is that Lu Su actually responded happily, his expression as usual, without any displeasure.
Then he pondered: "The general's name is Li and Zheng Feng? This is rare, and it is somewhat inconsistent with the general's identity!"
Obviously, Lu Su had already questioned the name of the Golden Armor General.
Because of the three-character name Li Zhengfeng, only the criminals whose ancestors were exiled and sent to the death will be named in this way, or women can be named in this way, or they are from Hu people, otherwise such names rarely appear.
Hearing Lu Su's slightly suspicious words, the General of Jinjia calmly handled it and did not reply positively.
He smiled and asked, "Brother Zijing just ask me Wenchang. I'm taking the initiative to ask you, but I don't know where your brother is going? If it's inconvenient, please don't blame Brother Zijing. Just think Wenchang has asked this more."
"Wenchang is too polite." Lu Su said with a smile: "To be honest, I offended the latter general Yuan Shu before, but now I am wanted by Yuan Shu. I have no choice but to take my grandmother and my tribe members to stay in the nest for a while."
"Oh?" The general of Jinjia was slightly stunned, then shook his head slightly, and smiled: "Yuan Gonglu's calendar is from a very high-profile and arrogant person. This time, he could not even tolerate such a talent as Zijing, and he was definitely not a person who accomplished great things. Since this is the case, Zijing doesn't have to worry about it. Yuan Shu didn't recognize Zijing's talent. Today, there are many heroes. There are many heroes, and there are many princes who are better than Yuan Gonglu. Why worry about not finding a wise master who appreciates him!"
"Wenchang's words are exactly what I want." Lu Su said deeply: "Now today, it is becoming more and more chaotic. The northern states are fighting one after another, and the southern states are fighting again and again. In this time of great struggle, although I, Lu Zijing, does not have the extraordinary talent of Guan Zhong and Leyi, have a small ambition and are proud of the ability to govern one county and one state."
Speaking of this, Lu Su suddenly changed his mind and asked, "I don't know which general Wenchang is under the command of the princes, why did he fall into the water after this?"
"I fell into the water? Hahaha!" General Jinjia was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed in silence. Then he laughed and said, "I'm not hiding it from Brother Zijing, I fell into the water this time because I fell into the water this time, but because I was plotted by the criminal man last night and fell into the flood. After waking up, I was here with my brother."
"Ah! Wenchang was actually murdered by a gangster and fell into the torrent and floated here?" Lu Su exclaimed in surprise. Then he asked, "In this way, Wenchang was not drowning this time, but was plotted by his enemies. I wonder who was the gangster who murdered Wenchang's life?"
"Cao Cao in Yanzhou!" General Jinjia said in a deep voice.
Dear readers have already seen it. As you think, this golden armored general who was chased by Cao Cao in Yanzhou was Li Li and Li Wenchang who was hugged by Xiahou Dun last night and fell into the torrent together.
"Cao Cao Cao and Mengde?" Lu Su's expression changed when he heard the voice. He looked at Li Li in horror, and was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing Lu Su's expression changed drastically, Li Li grinned indifferently and said without caring: "Brother Zijing doesn't have to worry about me. Although Cao Cao's strength in Yanzhou is getting stronger and stronger, others are afraid of him, but I am not afraid of him. Month ago, Cao Cao sent his cousin Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan brothers to lead hundreds of dead soldiers in the family to assassinate me. He followed me along the way for more than ten days, and finally suddenly started last night. Under a bloody battle, more than 300 dead soldiers in the Xiahou family were almost killed and injured. Xiahou Yuan was severely injured. Xiahou Dun was cut off by me and fell into the flood with me. I thought I would definitely not be able to survive."
While telling the truth without hiding it, Li Li paid attention to Lu Su's expression.
When he saw Lu Su's eyes becoming more and more confused, Li Li paused and said sincerely: "Wenchang was lucky to survive this time, and it was all due to Brother Zijing's rescue. He could not repay his life, but he could not repay him. Therefore, I want to be brothers of different surnames with Zijing. In the future, we brothers will share blessings and difficulties, and share honor and disgrace. I wonder what Brother Zijing wants?"
"Ah! This, I only met Wenchang once, is it too hasty?" Lu Su looked at Li Li in surprise and said suspiciously.
"Hmm?" Li Li looked at Lu Su with a smile, pondering without saying a word.
Lu Su felt pressure in Li Li's eyes and immediately explained: "Brother Wenchang, don't misunderstand me. I, Lu Su, have accomplished nothing now, I am unknown, and have been wanted by Yuan Shu. In contrast, although Wenchang has not yet stated his identity, I can see that Wenchang has a noble identity, otherwise it would not have led to the joint assassination of the Xiahou brothers.
In this way, the status of you and me is very different, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a huge difference. If I become brothers with Wenchang with kindness, then wouldn’t I, Lu Zijing, be a real man in vain? What’s the difference between me and a snob?”
"Hahaha!" Li Li smiled with great appreciation and nodded, "People say that Lu Zijing is a generous person by nature, treats others sincerely, and has always been a gentleman. It seems that the rumors are true.
Nowadays, you and I are both in trouble. There is a saying: As a person who is a worldly desolate person, why do you know each other when we meet again? If I, Li Wenchang, could have a brother like you, it would be a great blessing in life. Therefore, Zijing doesn’t need to say much, I have recognized you brother!"
"Li Wenchang?" Finally, when Lu Su heard Li Li's real name, he felt very familiar at first, so he muttered casually and immediately remembered who Li Wenchang was.
In an instant, Lu Su stared at Li Li with an incredible look on his face and exclaimed: "Ah——Are you General Wei Li Li Wenchang?"
Seeing the surprised look on Lu Su's face, Li Li frankly said: "Brother Zijing is not wrong. I am Li Li, the Western Liang Dynasty, and the courtesy name is Wenchang. This time I secretly came to Yangzhou for a trip, but my whereabouts were leaked, which led to the assassination of the evil man. In a fierce battle last night, I was plotted by the evil man and fell into the torrent. Fortunately, Brother Zijing was rescued this morning and survived.
I just proposed to be brothers with Zijing. Although I wanted to repay my kindness, I value Zijing's innocent heart more. In the chaotic times, I have long been used to the chaotic struggles of intrigue and deceitfulness, and I was deeply burdened and overwhelmed. If I could have a righteous and sincere brother like Zijing to help me, I, Li Li, would have no regrets in my life!"
"This,,,,,,,," Lu Su could clearly feel that Li Li's words came from the heart, and he was deeply moved by the sincere friendship in his heart. It was precisely this reason that made him hesitate and didn't know how to answer.
Although Lu Su had not witnessed Li Li of Xiliang, he had heard of some of his deeds and strength.
Three years ago, Li Li of Xiliang was still an unknown person, and his tits were still not dry, and no one in the world knew his name. However, in the battle of Xinzheng, Li Lisheng captured Zhu Yan and became famous all over the world, and then captured Chenliu City and worked triumphantly. Since then, Li Li became the prefect of Wuwei before he was young. He fought against Han Sui and Ma Teng's coalition forces in three battles, captured Pegasus, pacified the four counties, confronted Dong Zhuo's court, suppressed the Chang'an Rebellion, and merged with the Xiliang army, and then led his troops to sweep the entire Xiliang area. In the past two years, the Xiliang has been in great governance, and the bandits have disappeared, taxes are paid and people are benefiting the people's livelihood, making the people of the two states of Xiliang live and work in peace and no longer have any war.
These popular deeds have long been passed down by caravans traveling to various prefectures and counties, and have been talked about by the people of all places. Over time, no one in the states, counties and counties in the Han Dynasty knew Li Wenchang's name, and the gentry and powerful people knew Li Li very well, because what Li Li did had touched the fundamental interests of the aristocratic families, which was equivalent to uprooting the aristocratic families.
Lu Su, who is in Yangzhou, naturally knew these well-known deeds, and once carefully pondered Li Li's style of dealing with things and his ambitions. Finally, he came to a conclusion that Li Li was mixed with merits and demerits, and it was difficult to say whether he was good or bad, and it was difficult to easily determine which one was right or wrong in what he did. It seemed that everything was specious and loyal and treacherous.
But there is no doubt that among the various princes in Fang today, Li Li of Xiliang was undoubtedly the most powerful and advantageous powerful prince. None of the princes in each town could confront him head-on, and no one could compare with the power he held. Even the brothers of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, who were the three generations of the four generations, could not compete with Li Li.
By the heart, if Li Li can be appreciated and entrusted with important tasks, Lu Su will naturally be willing to serve his subordinates.
Because the world is in chaos today, no matter who is loyal or treacherous, the princes in each town are all ambitious in separating the princes under the banner of the Han Dynasty. Any aspiring person knows this. No one is stupid enough to see who has a good reputation. If the atmosphere is right, he will go to join him. If anyone has a bad reputation, he will not want to serve.
For example, today, some scholars choose their masters, and first focus on strength. Secondly, whether they appreciate themselves and value themselves, and finally whether they can get the opportunity to display their talents. Of course, fame, wealth and wealth are naturally indispensable. After all, no one is a saint who has no desires and no desires. In pursuing ideals and expressing their ambitions, they can also achieve both fame, wealth and wealth.
The only thing that made Lu Su feel uneasy was that his Lu family was a gentry in Linhuai, with not too many members of the family, and his foundation was in Yangzhou. If he joined the command of Li Li of Xiliang, would his clan members and relatives be persecuted by other princes, and thus made him bear the infatuation of being unfaithful and unfilial.
In addition, there is another thing that made Lu Su hesitant, which was Li Li's proposal to become a sworn brother with him. To be honest, Li Li looked down on him so much, which made him very excited and moved. But Li Li's identity was extraordinary after all. Now he has a high position as a general of guard and his title is Wuwei Marquis. He has become the highest minister. If he goes a little further, he will be the third Duke. If he goes a step further, he will be the Duke, Prince and Prince.
In contrast, what is Lu Su now? He, who has served as the chief of Dongcheng for less than a year, is still arrested by Yuan Shu on notices, and is like a white and unknown person. Although he is proud of his talent, talent needs to be displayed to count and be well-known and recognized by the world. If he is not appreciated by the wise master and cannot be used, it is equivalent to a hero who has no use of his skills, and even his talent is in vain.
