Chapter 458 The lobbyist is persuaded

That night, Li Su brought gold, silver and treasures to the outside of the coalition camp. After reporting his name, he was unable to enter. Instead, Lu Bu came out to contact him.

"Qingyong, I haven't seen you for a long time, so I'm fine!" Lu Bu and Li Su knew each other before, and they were fellow villagers, so they came to meet him, "How are you doing recently?"

Back then, Li Su was still in Wuyuan. His family was a wealthy family in Yonghan County, but he himself was willing to date the heroes of Wuyuan County, so he naturally had an intersection with Lu Bu. Even when Lu Bu was in the most difficult time in the early days, Li Su helped him.

Not only were the two of them equal, but they also had favors to Lu Bu before, so they deducted the hostile stance of both sides, and Lu Bu had no reason not to come to see him.

"I was just doing it, but I became a cavalry commander under Dong Zhuo's command. It is said that I might be promoted later. I just hope to be a general. Fengxian, what about you?" Li Su had not returned to Wuyuan for too long and was a little blocked by the news there.

I was guarding Dong Zhuo in Hedong before, so I didn’t know about Lu Bu.

"Under Bingzhou Governor, General Liu Tao, was appointed as General Pingdi." Lu Bu said proudly, "The command directly controls thousands of troops and horses. This time, there will be more changes."

Li Su opened his mouth when he heard this and wanted to show off. Who knew that the other party's achievements were higher than his. He was a little confused now and said that he would give it to Dong Zhuo and say that Lu Bu was reduced. It seems a bit difficult now.

"Fengxian, what do you think of the heroes in the world?" Li Su tried to ask, "Just talk about this coalition..."

"Except for the lord, they are all mobs, not worth mentioning!" Lu Bu replied casually.

"Then Fengxian knows why I joined Dong Zhuo's army?" Li Su could only change the topic.

"That's true, I'm indeed a little curious." Lu Bu said, and he had a few curious meanings.

"Dong Zhuo was born in a good family, and his merits were all made on the battlefield, and he made real contributions. He started from the underworld, so he naturally knew that there were heroes in the grassroots. He only sought talents to use people, but did not talk about his background." Li Su replied.

"Well, Dong Zhuo's personality is indeed very pleasing to me!" Lu Bu nodded, "It's about the same as the master's consort!"

Liu Tao is the real hodgepodge, and there are talents of all kinds of origin. There are aristocratic families, and there are also grassroots. Even old border troops like them, or officials from Bingzhou, they will reuse them as long as they think they can use them.

Just like Huang Zhong and Dian Wei, they are actually not of high origin. Liu Tao thinks they are talented and use them when they say they are worthy of them. Hehe, suddenly remembering the situation when they asked to recruit him as soon as they met. Looking back, I feel a little proud.

But Li Su's expression was ugly, and Dong Zhuo's biggest advantage seemed to be gone.

"Liu Tao was a relative of the Han Dynasty. In the past, there might be few talents, so he would use them as long as he was a talent. He could later become a king and an emperor. He must still value the children of aristocratic families. What kind of virtues of the royal family are still unclear?" Li Su had no choice but to belittle Liu Tao first as a prelude to pave the way for the follow-up.

"Qingyong, there is no need to say this!" Lu Bu's tone suddenly became cold, "Only, talent is to use the employment standards that have always been implemented by the lord, and even cultivate talents by himself, threatening to pass the exam in the future and no longer rely on local recommendations to select talents. Therefore, the origin will no longer have advantages in the future. In fact, how much talent is the key!"

He paused and continued, "So if you continue to belittle your lord, don't blame me for turning against you!"

Li Su didn't expect that Lu Bu was so loyal to Liu Tao. No, maybe what he said was true. Liu Tao really used talents in a straightforward manner and really ignored the background of talents?

Not to mention, he was so cautious and moved. At the same time, he was a little annoyed, why didn’t he meet Liu Tao earlier?

"Fengxian, let's tell the truth..." Li Su felt that it would be better to be honest. Lu Bu was brave and easy to learn, but he could not react to the twists of social interactions after all, his emotional intelligence was a bit low, and he could not react to the twists of his relationship.

He paused and continued, "Prime Minister Dong sent me to convince you and join his command. He is now ready to be emperor, and Liangzhou and Guanzhong areas are already in his hands. At that time, he will take Hangu Pass and ascend the throne to the emperor. Not only will he be willing to be appointed as a general, he can also be appointed as a king!"

He then took out all the gold, silver and jewelry, indicating that this was a little care from the Prime Minister Dong.

"Is it difficult to fight Hangu Pass? How about Hulao Pass?" Lu Bu didn't even look at the jewelry. He followed Liu Tao to invest and made some money. In addition, his future was bright, and it was not because of Dong Zhuo's little favor.

Especially those who are granted kings and generals are all verbal things. A force that is about to be defeated may be considered if it is given the emperor as a destruction.

When Li Su heard this, his face suddenly looked ugly. He had just defeated Sun Jian's troops in front, and the heroes behind him officially attacked the city, but he didn't defend it for a day and was beaten down like this.

Although Hangu Pass is more majestic, it is hard to say that it is really hard to fight. It is really unfounded. Dong Zhuo had to stay in Luoyang and hold the main force of the coalition forces. On the one hand, he transported all his money and other things to Hangu Pass, and on the other hand, he mainly strengthened the defense of Hangu Pass.

After doing all this, he can escape if he can. If he can't escape, he will naturally have to take some cushions!

Being able to have such an awareness also means that there is nothing to play in Dong Zhuo's cards.

"Qingyong, you and I are both from Wuyuan, so I'm not afraid to tell you." Lu Bu looked at Li Su, "My lord is a child of the immortal family. Not only can he live dead and die, but he can also make us invulnerable to swords and guns, and not infiltrate water and fire. He will break through Luoyang and then enter Guanzhong to wipe out Dong Zhuo's troops. It's a matter of time."

Li Su's expression was a bit strange. He did hear in private that Liu Tao was a disciple of the Immortal Family, but who knows whether it was that magical. Generally speaking, as a lobbyist, exaggerating his strength is also a normal operation.

But there is one thing that cannot be ignored, that is, if the coalition forces continue to maintain their previous combat effectiveness, it is really only a matter of time before they conquer Luoyang or even break through Hangu Pass.

"You and my hometown party, and I have been kind to me in the past." Lu Bu looked at Li Su, "I will give you a clear road here. When you attack the city outside, open the city gate inside and welcome us in. That is naturally a great achievement. I recommend you to the lord's command later, and I will pull you!"

He paused and continued, "My lord, the Southern Xiongnu, have been defeated by him, and the Xianbei have to compromise. If you start a border trade with him, you will surely sweep the eight deserts, unify the world, and promote the Yan Han three times! It is still time to join us now!"

"Okay, I came here to be a lobbyist, but I didn't expect that in the end, you became a lobbyist!" Li Su also reacted and exclaimed.

"That is, you and I are from the same hometown, otherwise you think I need to tell you this?" Lu Bu gave him a blank look, "Isn't it beautiful to just capture Luoyang like this, and we will take the exclusive credit? Whether you join or not will have no effect on us!"

Li Su gritted his teeth and instinctively told him that what Lu Bu said was right, but he was just unhappy.

After thinking about it, he finally tried to ask: "If I join Liu Tao's command, can I give me the position of cavalry commander?"

"It depends on how great the merit you have made. It is impossible to say that you have enough credit. It is probably not a problem to give you a title of a general!" Lu Bu said with a smile. Anyway, he would not open up the things he verbally agreed to.

"How much credit can I have... I only have a thousand confidants under my command, and many of them are the teams I pulled from Wuyuan. That is, these thousand people are the key to my becoming a cavalry captain." Li Su sighed.

Under Dong Zhuo, it is not that easy to make a name for himself. It requires real swords and guns to be shot, or it is okay to provide soldiers. Anyway, since you don’t have the ability, it is not easy to rise under Dong Zhuo.

Li Su's ability to fight can only be said to be average and a little brainy, but he is not considered a strategist. Of course, he has no experience in governing and governing, and it can be said that he is at most a middle-aged man.

Strictly speaking, it is Liu Ge's sequence, but in this sequence, he is the bottom part. As for Liu Ge, it is still very likely that he and Shangguan Yu will work hard for a while to become the leader of the side.

"It's very difficult to open the Luoyang city gate in secret!" Li Su reminded, "The city gates are controlled by Dong Zhuo's confidants, so we cannot approach them at will. Moreover, Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Li Ru has shrewd eyes, and if you are not careful, you will reveal flaws."

After thinking about it, he continued, "At most, I will pull out one thousand of my people and join Liuzhou Mu!"

"Then... I guess the lord will agree to give you a lieutenant or something at most." Lu Bu thought about it and replied, adding in his heart: And it is a miscellaneous lieutenant.

After all, according to the organization of the Han Dynasty, there are only a few permanent lieutenants. The problem is that everyone is expanding their troops, so it is understandable to set up some miscellaneous generals, miscellaneous lieutenants, etc.

If you really want to calculate it, isn’t he, General Pingdi, also a miscellaneous general?

It’s just that Lu Bu just saw it: no matter whether it is a miscellaneous general or not, the real power that he really controls is real!

"Fengxian, please give me a clear idea..." Li Su was still a little confused, "Liu Tao, is he really a disciple of the immortal family, really knows magic?"

"If you don't believe it, you can wait in Luoyang. Anyway, when the city is broken, it will be too late to surrender. If you surrender, there will probably be no good position for you. At most, start with the army." Lu Bu said indifferently.

After saying that, he actually planned to get up and leave, and did not give Li Su a chance to consider it.

Li Su was a little anxious when he heard this. He naturally knew the difference between the uprising at the last minute and the surrender after the war. Liu Tao really knew magic, so he could successfully conquer Luoyang, and it would be defeated in a very short time.

He really had to wait until that time to choose to surrender. Not only would he have to pay his thousand soldiers, he would probably not be able to get a good position. Li Su, who wanted to be an official and wanted to be crazy, had to make a choice.

"Fengxian, Fengxian, don't worry, I don't say I won't join... In this way, I will go back and order all the troops. As an internal supporter, you will attack the city, and we will help you internally. How about it?" Li Su immediately offered his conditions.

It’s not good to join us now. It’s all a matter of whether these thousand people can leave the city smoothly.

"I'll take you to talk to your lord. What's going on depends on how the lord and the military advisor arrange it. No matter what the result is, it's not bad to let you get to know each other with your lord first, right?" Lu Bu came over immediately and wanted to take Li Su over.

"These jewelry..." Li Su also wanted to say that these jewelry should be used as a meeting gift.
