Lu Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he saw Lu Su looking so nervous.
It seems that everyone in the world is the same.
Even the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms will have such tense moments.
It was very similar to the scene when I graduated from college and submitted my resume.
Lu Yi laughed.
Seeing Lu Yi laughing at him, Lu Su felt embarrassed and at a loss what to do.
If it were anything else, he wouldn't be afraid.
But this was his first time offering a plan to fight. He had never done it before. How could he not be nervous?
Moreover, in front of veterans such as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Song Qian.
It would be really embarrassing if someone tries to do whatever they want to do!
Lu Yi looked at Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others and said, "What do you think? I think it's feasible!"
Cheng Pu pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "This strategy sounds feasible at first glance. You may want to try it. However, you must be prepared."
Huang Gai, Han Dang and Song Qian gathered together and murmured for a while, then nodded.
Huang Gai looked at Lu Yi and said, "We also think we can give it a try."
Looking at Lu Su, Huang Gai said: "Moreover, Prime Minister Guangling knows the polder better than any of us, and his previous intelligence investigation work is also detailed enough."
Everyone nodded.
Lu Su let out a long sigh of relief.
The hanging heart slowly dropped.
After wiping his forehead, Lu Su said: "Thank you for your trust, sir!"
Lu Yi smiled and said: "In that case, Zijing will be commanding this attack on the city. General Cheng, how about you act as his deputy for once?"
Lu Su was startled and waved his hands hurriedly: "This can't be done! I, I have absolutely no experience in leading troops in combat."
Cheng Pu was also somewhat reluctant at first.
A veteran of his own generation, he followed Sun Jian and Sun Ce in their campaigns in the north and south.
Now, it's his turn to be a deputy to a newcomer on the battlefield?
But Lu Yi was beside him.
Moreover, Cheng Pu also knew that Lu Su came from the Lu family.
Along the way, Lu Yi was very kind to his soldiers.
He also led his own people to capture Lujiang, Hefei and other places so quickly.
This speed and achievement even surpassed that of Sun Ce, making him feel vaguely like the scene when he followed Sun Jian in the battle.
Now, it didn't seem good to not even obey his only instruction that came close to a request.
Another thing, it can be seen from the fact that he likes to bring little ones like Lu Xun, Lu Ji, Zhu Ran, Ling Tong and Zhou Fang to follow him and let them learn to lead troops in battle. It can be seen that he likes to train rookies.
Thinking of this, Cheng Pu rolled his eyes and said to Lu Yi: "My lord, I am willing to serve as Guang Lingcheng's deputy. However, I suddenly thought of something, and I hope your lord will allow it."
Everyone was silent.
Making a request at this time is like bartering something for something.
This is a big taboo for a minister!
However, considering that Cheng Pu was a veteran who followed Sun Jian and Sun Ce in the battles, it was not easy for him to be willing to serve as Lu Su's deputy to a newcomer on the battlefield. Everyone pretended not to hear.
Lu Yi wasn't angry either.
In the original history, Zhou Yu had proven himself, but before the Battle of Chibi, Cheng Pu still looked down on the young Zhou Yu.
Now that Lu Su had just come into contact with the war, he asked Cheng Pu to take action. He did not turn against him on the spot, which was already a great deal of honor to him.
He who is content is always happy.
Don't ask for too much.
Lu Yi smiled and said to Cheng Pu, "Tell me about it."
Cheng Pu then said: "My son Cheng Zi has never had a famous teacher, and I have been away in battle all year round and have no time to accompany him. Therefore, I want him to stay with you, my lord, and serve tea to your lord. My lord, you can Drive him, no need to be polite to him."
Lu Yi: "."
So that’s what happened.
Following him, he said he was serving tea and water, but could he really drive him around?
Cheng Pu wanted to give his son a good future.
This is also a good thing.
He took the initiative to send his son to himself. His son often got along with Lu Xun, Lu Ji, Ling Tong, Zhu Ran, Zhou Fang and others, and it was impossible not to be affected.
In the future, I will be closer to myself.
Thinking of this, Lu Yi smiled and said: "That's it? Of course it's correct. Don't worry, General Cheng, I will treat him as an equal just like I treat Lu Xun and the others."
Then he looked at Huang Gai, Han Dang, Song Qian and other veterans and said, "The same goes for you."
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Song Qian and others all thanked him.
After discussing the siege strategy, everyone dispersed.
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Song Qian and others took Lu Su to drink.
Lu Yi didn't stop him either.
In the original history, Lu Su was Zhou Yu's man, but here, Lu Su is his confidant.
Cheng Pu and others obviously intend to win over Lu Su, which is a good thing.
He had just taken over Jiangdong, and what he was afraid of was the political instability.
Although there is support from major aristocratic families, it will still be difficult to stabilize the internal affairs if these veterans from the Sun Ce era are not handled properly.
Internal instability is too dangerous.
He will not forget the lesson of the ancients: misfortunes arise from Xiao Qiang.
Now that Cheng Pu and other veterans are willing to mingle with their cronies, they will no longer be afraid of people from the Sun family trying to rebel in the future.
Lu Yi didn't stay at the mansion either.
He took Nangong Yan, Shi Huan, Lu Xun, Lu Ji, Zhu Ran, Ling Tong, Zhou Fang and two hundred Danyang elites to wander around Dongyang County, allowing these noble sons from major families to experience the sufferings of the common people today.
He didn't want to see these future famous generals he had personally trained not knowing the sufferings of the people, and would even make ridiculous remarks like "Why not eat minced meat?"
Many people thought that Sima Zhong was stupid.
However, Lu Yi always felt that the person who created that kind of living environment for Sima Zhong was the culprit.
How can a person who has been on high ground his whole life and has never fallen into hell know about the raging fire of hell?
Although Lu Xun and others have endured hardships, they have not lived with ordinary people.
Seeing the miserable appearance of ordinary people, Lu Xun and others were in a daze.
Especially during lunch, Lu Yi didn't even go back, leaving people like Lu Xun to watch these common people.
On weekdays, these noble young men from aristocratic families not only have three meals a day, but even refreshments.
Most of these people have two meals a day, or even one meal a day.
There are still some who are hungry.
Even worse, there are those who sell their children and daughters.
Lu Xun and a dozen other young men chatted with the common people for a long time. When Lu Yi took them back to the government office at dusk, they were all silent.
During dinner in the evening, these dozen teenagers all ate extraordinarily much.
In the past, some of them always disliked the taste of this or that.
But now, even if the rice falls out of the bowl, they will pick it up with chopsticks and eat it.
After eating, Lu Yi practiced sword skills with Nangong Yan for a while and then went to bed.
I was in a daze when I heard a voice ringing in my ear: "Brother Lu, get up quickly, someone is coming!"
It was Nangong Yan’s voice.
Lu Yi got up in confusion, yawned, and asked Nangong Yan, "Why are you so cautious?"
Usually when someone comes to see him, Nangong Yan always calls directly at the door.
Only twice did she enter his bedroom directly and call him in his ear.
Once when Sun Ce was still alive, Yan Xiang was still under Yuan Shu's account and secretly crossed the river to find him.
There's another time, and that's now.
Nangong Yan whispered: "Chen Deng, the eldest son of Chen Gui, the head of the Chen family in Xiapi, is waiting for you in the living room."
Lu Yi woke up suddenly.
Chen Deng?
Why did Chen Deng come here?
The two of them have nothing to do with each other!
The only contact they had for a period of time was three years ago, when he, under the orders of Governor Lu Kang, led three thousand Lujiang soldiers to assist Xuzhou Tao Qian and block Cao Cao in Tancheng.
Moreover, in the original history, Chen Deng was Cao Cao's internal agent!
He and Cao Cao exchanged opinions and manipulated Lu Bu.
He is under Lu Bu's account now. What is he doing secretly coming to find me?
Although he was shocked, Lu Yi wiped his face with both hands and walked out quickly.
As soon as he left the bedroom door, he saw Chen Deng kneeling in front of the desk in the living room, drinking tea and thinking thoughtfully.
Seeing Lu Yi and Nangong Yan come out, Chen Deng stood up, saluted and said, "Chen Deng has met General Lu!"
As Lu Yi walked over quickly, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Brother Yuanlong, it's been a long time! Ever since we said goodbye to Tancheng last time, I have been thinking about you. I didn't expect that I would have a chance to see you now."
Yuanlong, the character of Chen Deng.
Making an invitation gesture towards Chen Deng, Lu Yi took his seat and Nangong Yan knelt beside him.
The living room became eerily quiet.
Nangong Yan closed his eyes and rested his mind, as if he was asleep.
Lu Yi and Chen Deng looked at each other, big eyes staring at small eyes.
Even in this awkward moment, Chen Deng took the lead and said, "I come here this time to discuss two things with General Lu."
Lu Yi said hurriedly: "Brother Yuanlong, please tell me!"
Chen Deng took a deep breath and then said: "General Lu, did you know that you have fallen into a trap?"
Lu Yi said in confusion: "Fell into a trap? Lu Bu? Please teach me."
Chen Deng shook his head and said: "It's not Lu Bu, but Cao Sikong's plan to attack the east and attack the west."
