Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 215 No background? Then become the background yourself! (Thanks to Jiushidangcha for the monthly ticket support~)
The sudden scolding immediately attracted the attention of Lu Bu and Lu Su.

The two of them turned their heads to look at the door at the same time, and saw Liu Ye, dressed in green Confucian robes, stepping over the threshold and staring at Lu Su with a righteous look on his face.

When Lu Su saw this old friend, his brows knitted together:
"Zi Yang and I each serve our own masters, so you are allowed to show your loyalty, but I am not allowed to?"

Liu Ye just shook his head and refuted:
“My master can see my loyalty, but can your master see your loyalty?
"Even if I let you go back, won't they still be suspicious of you?
"And I have heard that your Lu family's wealth has been completely squandered by Liu Bei's army.

"But they used you to exchange for the safety of Guan Yu and Zhao Yun. Is this the result that Brother Zijing wanted to see?"

Lu Bu looked at Liu Ye with admiration in his eyes.

He is indeed a first-class counselor under his command. With just a few words, he directly hit Lu Su's soft spot, making Lu Su lose his confidence instantly:
"They...will come to rescue me."

Liu Ye did not act aggressively and first bowed to Lu Bu.

Then he came and sat down next to Lu Su, and said in a gentle tone:

“As the saying goes, a wise bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a wise minister chooses a master to serve.

"Now that Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang, he will certainly make strategic deployments with Zhuge as the core.

"And Brother Zijing is just a tool used by them.

“But here in Wenhou, you will be treated completely differently!
“After spending more time with him, you will find that Wen Hou knows how to appoint the right people to the right posts and will make use of all talented people.

"Your talents can be fully utilized in our army!
“Moreover, our army is on the rise, and we need top talents like Brother Zijing who have a broad perspective to help us break through the shackles and reach new heights!

"Brother Zijing, please lend a helping hand to our army!"

After listening to Liu Ye's persuasion, Lu Su's heart was obviously shaken.

However, after pondering for a long time, he sighed and shook his head.

Seeing this, Lu Bu also understood that it would be difficult for the other party to make a decision at the moment.

Moreover, the relationship between Liu Ye and Lu Su is actually not as good as the relationship between Zhou Yu and Lu Su.

We can only wait until Zhou Yu arrives from Runan and then let him give it a try.

If it really doesn't work, then decide whether to kill or let go...

Thinking of this, Lu Bu said slowly:
"Forget it, the war has just ended, and I think Zi Jing must be quite tired.

"Zi Yang, go arrange a place for Zi Jing to live so that he can have a good rest."

Liu Ye understood what Lu Bu meant. He nodded slightly and left the room with Lu Su.

Lu Bu looked at the two men's backs as they left, recalling Lu Su's analysis of the world situation and the hidden dangers of his power.

I also realized that my current situation is not as good as it seems.

Although he had the support of ordinary people, his relationship with most of the aristocratic families was still distant.

Only by completely building closer relations with the aristocratic families and resolving the estrangement can he even make them recognize him as the uncrowned emperor.

In this way, even if he really destroyed Liu Xie in the future, he would not be criticized too much.

By then, even if someone in the faction rebels, it can be quickly quelled without leaving any major hidden dangers...

Of course, it is easy to think but difficult to actually do it.

The root of everything is that he was born into a grassroots family!
Unlike Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, their ancestors had enough influence in the court.

The importance that ancient people attached to their birth background really far exceeded the imagination of a modern person like him.

In the eyes of aristocratic families, background is always more important than anything else!
However, Lu Bu's eyes gradually became sharper.

As a modern person, how can I be bound by ancient red tape?

It is certainly not so easy to eliminate the aristocratic families, and the gap between the rich and the poor is still huge even in modern times, one thousand and eighty years later.

But what he has to do is to try his best to suppress the influence of the aristocratic families while he is still alive!
Want to restrain Lu Fengxian?

You have to ask about the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand first!

Even if Lu Su was still unwilling to provide him with a method in the end, he would still use his own means to conquer these aristocratic families.

As long as I can keep winning battles, I believe those wealthy families will know who to invest in and what choices to make.

If he has no background, then he will become the background himself!

...Two days later, Lu Bu stood on the White Gate Tower and looked at a group of people from the south who were rushing towards this side quickly.

He looked up at the blue bricks and square stones under his feet and felt quite emotional.

The original owner in history died here.

Now that he has taken back the city for the original owner, I think the ending will be completely different.

When Lu Bu was sighing, the troops outside the city had already entered the city.

He didn't think any more and went downstairs to greet him.

When the handsome Zhou Yu saw Lü Bu coming down from the tower, he immediately dismounted and walked in front of him, bowing and saying:

"This subordinate greets the lord!"

Lu Bu punched Zhou Yu lightly on the chest and said with a smile:
"Alright, do we need to be polite to each other? Gongjin, you should know why I asked you to come here, right?"

Zhou Yu smiled, then nodded solemnly:

“I’ve heard about Lu Zijing.

“In fact, I wanted to find him to help the lord before, but he had already been recruited by Liu Bei’s army.

"Now that my lord has captured him, I will do my best to convince him to serve my lord!"

Lu Bu suddenly felt happy:

"With Gongjin's words, I feel relieved.

“I know that Zi Jing is a talented person. If we can get his help, our army’s future strategic goals will be clearer.

"But if I can't subdue him, I won't let him go..."

Hearing the hidden meaning in Lu Bu's words, Zhou Yu's heart trembled slightly, and he immediately clasped his fists:
"Please rest assured, my lord. I will not let you down!"

Zhou Yu didn't rest much.

After exchanging a few words with Lu Bu, he couldn't wait to come to a house in the city lord's mansion and saw Liu Feng guarding the door.

Lu Su was extremely strong. According to official history, he was able to shoot through a shield with a bow and arrow, which even some generals might not be able to do.

Therefore, Lu Bu sent Liu Feng to guard the place personally, which was also a way to give Lu Su enough face.

When Liu Feng saw Zhou Yu coming, he immediately bowed:
"I greet General Zhou!"

Zhou Yu, who held the position of Lieutenant General, casually waved his hand and asked Liu Feng to open the door. He finally saw Lu Zijing who was leaning against the room reading a book.

When Lu Su saw Zhou Yu coming, he was not too surprised, but chuckled:
"Gongjin, you are finally here. If you hadn't come, I would have been bored to death."

Seeing that the other party was still in the mood to joke with him, Zhou Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the lord and Zi Yang and others have done a good job in ideological work before!
It shouldn't be that difficult to convince the other party next...

Zhou Yuyouyou said:

"When I heard that Brother Zijing was captured, I immediately rushed here from Runan after two days of running.

"Seeing that Brother Zijing is doing well, Yu is relieved."

Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu with a strange look:
"We are both smart people, so there is no need to deal with these nonsense.

"You are here to persuade Lu Bu to surrender, right?"

To Lu Su's surprise, Zhou Yu actually shook his head:

"That's not the case. My master said that he will let you go as long as you tell us how to solve the internal problems of our army."

Lu Su looked at Zhou Yu's half-smile and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.

He didn't understand what this talented person, whom he also admired, was trying to do.

But after a moment, he also grinned and agreed directly:

"That's fine! I can tell you how to solve the current problems of Lu Bu's army!

"But... I also have a condition!"
