After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Lu Su couldn't help but be shocked.

Logically speaking, the Huainan thieves Mei Gan and his party came from Jiujiang County to pursue Lu Su, while Zhou Yu and his party came from the direction of Runan to meet Lu Su. The two armies can be said to be completely in two directions!

Since there are two completely different directions, how did Zhou Yu know about the movements of the prunes?

When he thought of this, Lu Su began to sweat drop by drop on his forehead.

He had always heard that the Emperor's Guards Agency was capable of spying, and its personnel were spread throughout every state and county in the Han Dynasty.

Lu Su didn't really believe this at first, but it wasn't until today that he suddenly realized it after seeing it with his own eyes.

It seems that the rumors are indeed true.

At this time, Zhou Yu introduced to Lu Su the general who accompanied him and led his troops here. It was Xu Chu, the commander beside Liu Qi.

Seeing Xu Chu's figure up close, Lu Su was even more touched.

Zhou Yu and Xu Chu represented completely different classes in the Han Dynasty, but even the elites of these two different classes were all put into the urn by Liu Qi, which shows Liu Qi's ability.

…

Thirteen days later, Lu Su accompanied Zhou Yu to Guide, where Liu Qi was stationed.

According to the traveling speed of Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others, as well as the distance between Juchao and Guide, they should not have delayed this many days out of thin air.

It's just that this year has entered late autumn, and there is abundant rain in the Jianghuai area. The rainfall has begun to increase gradually, and the roads have gradually become muddy, which to a certain extent has slowed down the progress of Lu Su and his party.

What surprised Zhou Yu and Xu Chu even more was Lu Su's appeal on his journey westward.

Zhou Yu originally thought that Lu Su was philanthropic and had an excellent reputation among the people, but it was only limited to the area near Juchao. Unexpectedly, after entering Runan, many people in the county and township heard about Lu Su's arrival, and they all rushed to follow him. .

Of course, those who came with Lu Su were all refugees who had lost their fields due to disasters and wars, or they were local heroes, and those who had property in their own families would definitely not go with Lu Su.

Zhou Yu and Xu Chu were both stunned. They really didn't expect that Lu Su's popularity would be so good.

In fact, it is not surprising that Zhou Yu and Xu Chu were surprised. Just imagine that wherever they go, some people will rush to accompany them, shouting "I am willing to go with Lu Lang". Regardless of the number of people, there will always be such people. Expressing his willingness to follow Lu Su was enough to shock Zhou Yu and Xu Chu.

Because of the addition of these people, the march of the team has become slower. Many people are just ordinary people, and they will become exhausted after traveling for days.

When Lu Su and others arrived at Guide, more than 3,000 displaced people had already gathered around him.

When such an incident happened, Lu Su felt that he was causing trouble for Liu Qi and was a little embarrassed to enter the county, so he camped outside Guide, and then Zhou Yu and Xu Chu entered the county to report to Liu Qi.

After listening to Zhou Yu describe the situation outside, Liu Qi burst out laughing on the spot.

"This Lu Zijing is very popular. He sells his land to make friends and support scholars. He is considered the number one person in Huairu land. In terms of academics, he is not a famous person, but in terms of behavior, he is definitely one.

A strange man...why don't you come to the city to see me?"

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said: "Lu Zijing originally came with two hundred pieces of music. Who would have thought that the number of people in Guide would suddenly increase to three thousand. Isn't this causing trouble for His Majesty? How can he have the face to come?

See His Majesty?"

"His skin is thin. Go and tell him that all the people in the world are my people, whether they are good family members, refugees or grassroots bandits... the people he brings are my people.

I will make the arrangements myself, and if it is not his turn to panic on my behalf, I will tell him to get out and see the driver."

"only!"

With Liu Qi's words, Lu Su felt relieved.

However, Lu Su was not in a hurry to accompany Zhou Yu to meet Liu Qi.

Meeting Liu Qi is different from meeting other people. Since you are meeting the emperor of the dynasty, you naturally have to dress up properly and cannot just go there casually.

Although this place is not Luoyang and it is the front line, the rules that should be followed must still be followed.

The next day, Liu Qi summoned Lu in the main hall of the county government.

In order to meet Liu Qi, Lu Su dressed up carefully, wearing a blue robe and a black scarf to wrap his hair. He did not have an official position, so he did not cover his head with a long crown, but he did not lose his grace, and his beard was neatly trimmed.

, he is already handsome and looks even more impressive, making people fall in love immediately after seeing him.

Whether it is now or in future generations, it is a world where faces are judged.

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Biao and others also had the habit of looking at faces and temperaments when recruiting their subordinates, which was also related to their family backgrounds.

But when Lu Su saw Liu Qi, he was stunned.

Why?

Because Liu Qi was also dressed very solemnly today. It was obvious that he had been carefully groomed and dressed up, and he looked extremely heroic. He was both handsome and heroic, which made people fascinated.

As the leader of the Han Dynasty, Liu Qi summoned Lu Su so solemnly out of practical necessity.

It seems that he and Lu Su really thought of going together.

These days, the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king.

Liu Qi dressed up. Although it was a very simple thing, Lu Su also felt that Liu Qi valued him.

Such behavior can be regarded as winning Lu Su's heart and appeasing Zhouyu's heart. Why not do it?

After Lu Su paid homage, Liu Qi made him stand flat and allowed him to sit on Lu Su's side.

It is said that it is a gift to sit down, but more accurately, it is a gift to kneel down.

Lu Su knelt down and sat aside, sitting upright.

Liu Qi spoke first: "Zijing brought three thousand refugees back to me this time. It just so happened that last night I and the princes from Shangshutai were in Runan to demarcate a new farmland area, the development of new fields in Runan, and the reclamation of wasteland.

, all need manpower, and the refugees you brought to me can be put to great use."

After hearing this, Lu Su immediately paid homage: "Your Majesty is so graceful, he loves his people like a son, and he respects them with sincerity and sincerity!"

Liu Qi laughed and said: "I heard that you also brought two hundred people this time?"

"yes!"

"Other wealthy gentry train their troops in secret, trying not to let the county office or the county office know about it. But you are so good, you actually brought all your men in front of me in such a arrogant manner? What's the point?"

Lu Su cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is the heroic leader of the world, and he has a sharp eye. It is really useless for us to hide it in front of your Majesty. Could it be that if Lu Su doesn't bring these two hundred people from his family, your Majesty doesn't know that Lu Su has private men?"

Already?"

Lu Su's words made Liu Qi quite emotional.

When a wise man speaks, his wisdom will always be felt.

"Then what's your purpose of bringing people here to see me this time?"

"Your Majesty is marching north to quell the thieves. He needs manpower. Su will use his meager strength to help His Majesty accomplish his great cause. That's all."

Liu Qi took a deep breath and said, "Zijing is truly a loyal minister and a man of lofty ideals."

Then, Liu Qi turned to the guard behind him and said, "You will order the food and wine to be served, and then bring the dining table over. The two dining tables will be combined into one. Zijing and I will eat together."

After Lu Su heard this, he was very surprised. Liu Qi was the leader of the Han Dynasty, and his willingness to join forces with him was a rare honor for Lu Su.

Moreover, Liu Qi's move further revealed Liu Qi's trust in him, because joining the case meant that he and Liu Qi were close at hand.

According to normal standards, it was a great honor for the emperor to confront Liang Qianshi, let alone a white-skinned man like Lu Su.
