More than 10 years ago.
Sun Ce was still a playful and playful child.
At that time, Sun Jian had not yet served as the governor of Changsha County.
The Sun family has not yet moved out of Wu County.
Among his childhood playmates, except Zhou Yu.
Sun Ce often plays with Lu Su, who is similar in age.
Lu Su was originally from Dongcheng. Later, due to business matters, his family moved to Wu County.
In this era, the status of merchant families was very low.
Many people look down on Lu Su, who came from a wealthy businessman's family.
Only Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not care about his background and went up trees with him to dig out bird's nests and went down to the river to catch fish and shrimps.
However, beautiful things always appear vulnerable in the face of cruel reality.
After the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out.
Sun Jian had to leave his hometown and embark on a crusade against the Yellow Turbans.
Sun Ce could only wave goodbye to his childhood playmates.
He followed Sun Jian and left Wu Commandery.
From then on, Sun Ce never saw Lu Su again.
Unexpectedly, we met outside Shouchun City today.
If Lu Su hadn't greeted Sun Ce first, Sun Ce might have forgotten his childhood playmate.
Memories that had been sealed for many years surged in like a tide coming out of a floodgate.
Awakened that once extremely true friendship.
Sun Ce quickly stepped forward and stood opposite Lu Su excitedly:
"Zijing! Why are you here in Shouchun? Are you going to become an official?"
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Lu Su's face, but he still answered calmly:
"Bo Fu, you know my family background. A merchant's family is not popular with others. If I want to become an official, I can only rely on the recommendation of a famous family."
"I came to Shouchun this time to see the general and see if I can find an official position with him."
Although they haven't seen each other for many years, Lu Su is still the young man he once was.
There is nothing to hide from Sun Ce.
Outspoken and outspoken, this is the real Lu Su.
It is very different from the image of a "good old guy" portrayed in the novel.
Not only Lu Su, but also Zhou Yu and other famous Jiangdong generals were discredited to a certain extent.
Zhou Yu is obviously magnanimous and generous.
He was literally described as a narrow-minded and narrow-minded person.
have to say.
Art processing is really a waste of life sometimes.
I heard that Lu Su was indeed here to apply for a job.
Sun Ce patted Lu Su on the shoulder and made an in-depth analysis for him:
"Zijing, you must have seen the dire straits of the people along the way from Wujun, right?"
"Under Yuan Shu's rule, the people suffered terribly, which shows that he is not a wise master. Zijing's coming to seek refuge with him is equivalent to a secret betrayal!"
Lu Su's frankness dispelled all worries in Sun Ce's mind.
prompting him to make the decision to get straight to the point.
Tell Lu Su clearly in person.
Because Sun Ce believed that Lu Su still regarded him as a friend.
Therefore, no matter what Sun Ce said, it would not reach Yuan Shu's ears.
Otherwise, Sun Ce would never stand outside Shouchun City.
Tell others a few words about Yuan Shu.
Lu Su put away his smile, and a trace of bitterness flashed across his face:
"Bo Fu Jin Yu's good words, I know you are saying these for my own good."
"I also know that Yuan Shu may not be a wise master and is not worthy of entrustment, but... alas! In this world, it is really difficult to become an official."
"To be honest, I came here just to use Yuan Shu as a springboard."
His words resonated with Sun Ce.
In any era, becoming an official is not a simple matter.
Even if your family has a lot of wealth, you can't buy an official position if you don't know high-ranking officials.
The term "rich businessman" may be an enviable term for future generations.
But what is a wealthy businessman in this day and age?
It’s a lower third-class household registration!
Cao Cao's father spent money to buy an official position, but he had to become an official first.
Only then can you be qualified to spend huge sums of money to buy a higher official.
Otherwise, you won’t even be qualified to buy an official position.
In troubled times, it is not money that can make people fearful.
But military power!
Knowing Lu Su's true thoughts, Sun Ce started self-promotion mode:
"Zijing, you and I have been friends for many years, so I will tell you some things directly."
"Now my Jiangdong Army is developing well. There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the army, and it has already occupied Lujiang County."
"I have just been granted the title of Grand Administrator of Lujiang, General of the Rebellion, and Marquis of Wucheng by the imperial court. It can be regarded as a foundation."
"Why don't you come back to Lujiang with me, and let's work together to create a pure land for Jiangdong's elders!"
Lu Su's eyes were obviously shocked:
"Bo Fu, have you become a general, a marquis, or a prefect?"
No wonder Lu Su was so shocked.
You must know that more than 2 years ago, when the princes of the eighteen towns attacked Dong Zhuo.
Among the so-called eighteen towns, the vast majority of them are just the governor of one county!
In the past two years, Dong Zhuo has generously awarded civil and military officials.
As a result, the prefect's quality has declined, and he is no longer as authoritative as before.
But no matter what, he is the governor of a county after all.
A local official with a salary of thousands of stones.
According to the 17th level salary in the Han Dynasty, Sun Ce was ranked 6th.
It is already an official position in the middle and upper reaches!
Sun Ce smiled slightly.
Take out the edict obtained from Yuan Shu.
Passed it to Lu Su.
Lu Su opened it and saw that the seals of the young emperor Liu Xie and the traitor Dong Zhuo were stamped on this edict!
Ever since Dong Zhuo coerced the young emperor to move the capital to Chang'an.
The jade seal of Chuan Guo disappeared mysteriously.
The imperial edicts issued by the imperial court were only stamped with the seals of Dong Zhuo and the young emperor.
Even if it is real and effective!
As for where the jade seal passed down from the country is, probably only Sun Ce knows.
For others, they can only rely on guessing...
He carefully put away the edict and sent it back to Sun Ce.
Lu Su raised his head and said firmly:
"Since Bo Fu has such ambitions, I, Lu Zijing, would like to help you create a pure land for the Jiangdong elders!"
Say it.
Lu Su took a step back and distanced himself from Sun Ce.
Then he bowed down to Sun Ce solemnly:
"Lu Su pays homage to the lord!"
Almost at the same time.
The system's heavy metal-like beep sounded in Sun Ce's mind.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully recruiting Lu Su under his command and completing the 'Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land' in the 'Restore Glory Series' mission!"
"Reward: 3,000 Tiger Wing Navy Vests. The host can bind the vests to his subordinate soldiers at any time."
"After the host completes all series of tasks, he will receive the ultimate prize, come on!"
3000 Tiger Wing Navy Vest is available!
By the way, Lu Su, one of the four future governors of Jiangdong, was also harvested.
Sun Ce really gained a lot from this trip to Shouchun.
It’s not in vain!
"Hahaha, with Zijing's help, our Jiangdong Army is even more powerful! Let's go back to Lujiang!"
"Hahaha, if I can meet a wise master like Bo Fu, I, Lu Su, will live my life in vain!"
"Zijing!"
"Lord!"
Familiar businesses support each other, and it goes very smoothly.
