"Zijing!"
Liu Zhang trotted up to Lu Su, his voice full of joy and love.
It is no exaggeration to say that he conquered the southern barbarians and pacified the Qiang people, and his achievements spanned the world!
Without Lu Su's years of hard work, southern Yizhou would not have become the treasure house of Qin.
Even more so now!
Liangzhou, which was chaotic, dilapidated, and in a complicated situation, was handed over to Lu Su. After a short time, it was able to be self-sufficient.
Ability cannot be questioned by anyone.
Including Liu Zhang!
Who dares to say that he is doing better than Lu Su?
In terms of character, there is nothing to say!
Over the years, almost all the dirty and tiring work has been thrown at Lu Su.
Lu Su had no complaints about this and helped Liu Zhang diligently.
When Lu Su first arrived in Yizhou, there was no doubt that he was a handsome young man.
Although he is not very handsome, his wealthy family background gives him an extremely chic demeanor.
Now, times have changed.
The once tender face has long since disappeared, replaced by lingering vicissitudes of life.
"Zijing, thank you for your hard work!"
As soon as Liu Zhang finished speaking, he gave him a strong hug.
This is absolute recognition of Lu Su!
"King Qin!"
Lu Su's voice was full of excitement.
Every word and deed, even every expression and look, seems to be responding to Liu Zhang.
"Lu Su, the governor of Liangzhou, pays homage to the King of Qin!"
Lu Su took half a step back and prostrated himself on the ground.
"Zijing, there is no need to be polite between you and Gu!"
"King Qin, etiquette cannot be abolished!"
After some kowtows, Liu Zhang personally helped Lu Su up.
Then Jia Xu, who was behind him, also stepped forward slightly and bowed his hands.
"President Lu, come and be fine!"
"Jia Shangshu, everything is fine!"
Jia Xu and Lu Su have worked together for a long time.
Since Liu Zhang had not yet launched his conquest against the four counties in Nanzhong, Lu Su had been abducted to Yizhou.
But in fact, the two of them didn't really spend long together.
Lu Su can be said to be the official who was sent abroad the most.
"Let's go into the palace and talk!"
Liu Zhang enthusiastically pulled the two of them and walked into the palace together.
Lu Su's eyes suddenly flashed with emotion.
As a governor from another state, normally you have to report in advance before entering Beijing.
There is a process that needs to be followed.
But Liu Zhang didn't ask or care at all.
He showed his personal favor to Lu Su all the time.
However, Lu Su was extremely traditional and followed the etiquette and music of the Spring and Autumn Period.
After entering the side hall and sitting down separately as guests and hosts, you have to open your mouth and explain to Liu Zhang.
Who would have thought that Liu Zhang would be the first to speak as soon as the words came to his lips.
"Zijing, this martial arts competition is unprecedented, Guzheng wants to call you back from Liangzhou to participate together!"
"I didn't expect that our monarch and his ministers have a clear understanding of each other!"
Lu Su was stunned for a moment and straightened up quickly.
"I left Liangzhou on my own initiative and asked the King of Qin to punish me!"
After hearing this, the smile on Liu Zhang's face obviously became a little heavier.
"What did Zijing say?"
"I didn't ask you to go to jail in Liangzhou, so why can't you leave?"
"Thank you, King Qin!"
Lu Su thanked him with his hands, feeling a little more awe in his heart.
Although the King of Qin in front of him was no different from the first time they met, the aura of king around him was even stronger.
Lu Su felt deeply about the majesty that could not be offended.
"Zijing is here in person. Do you have any problems that you need Gu's help with?"
"Don't worry, King Qin, everything is fine in Liangzhou!"
"These people who were sent to Liangzhou are all capable officials! I also wanted them to train more, so I thought of coming to Chang'an!"
Liu Zhang nodded slightly, feeling completely relieved.
The martial arts tournament is approaching, so naturally they are extremely reluctant to use weapons rashly.
"Zijing, be bold and let them do it!"
"Your burden will be heavy in the future, and I can't keep you in Liangzhou forever!"
"When you think Liangzhou can operate normally, tell Gu that you will also serve as the military advisor of the Chinese army!"
After all, this is a borderland, so a great talent like Lu Su would be too much of a waste.
Besides, they are all people with ideals and ambitions. Who doesn’t want to return to the court?
"I respectfully obey the orders of King Qin!"
As expected, Lu Su took advantage of the situation and showed joy.
"Zijing, all the participants from all states and military regions in this martial arts competition have reported. What is the situation in Liangzhou?"
If there is no news, forget it.
Now that Lu Su is here, Liu Zhang is bound to make inquiries.
"For your information, King Qin, when I come to Chang'an this time, I am also bringing the contestants from Liangzhou!"
After speaking, Lu Su stood up, took out a piece of brocade silk from his arms, and handed it to Liu Zhang.
When I opened it, I was immediately surprised.
All ten names are extremely familiar.
Five of them should still have some stories!
"How can Yue Ji, Dian Ge, Tu Qi, Da Lun?"
"Could this be someone from the five major tribes back then?"
In the past, Liu Zhang went north to Yongliang, but was resisted by Han Sui and Ma Chao, who united the five major Qiang tribes with an army of more than 400,000.
The first to bear the brunt are Shaodang Qiang Yueman, Han Qiang Hemi, Xianling Qiang Tudan, Gongtang Qiang Dianwu, and Beiqiang Daiqi.
But the battle in the past was too brutal, with corpses everywhere and rivers of blood flowing!
The chiefs of the five major tribes died in civil strife one after another, and almost all of their subordinates were killed or injured.
Liu Zhang was really surprised to see these five names today.
"Yes, they are from the five major tribes."
Lu Su nodded without hiding anything.
"These five people have nothing to do with the previous leaders of the five major tribes. They are just members of the same clan."
"After the Qiang and Hu tribes surrendered, I began to use surnames to restrain them. Therefore, most people from the five major tribes adopted ethnic surnames."
"These five people are the best in Liangzhou selection."
While Liu Zhang was surprised, he also had a hint of enlightenment in his heart.
Those who can reach the top among the Qiang tribes must have superior bloodline.
The Qiang people are famous for their bravery, and they are also known as kings for their bravery.
The five major tribes were almost destroyed. How long did it take for a capable person to appear again?
If it weren't for the plan to conquer the entire Qiang tribe, it would probably be a few decades at most before the five major tribes could once again stand at the top of the Qiang tribe!
Thinking of this, Liu Zhang couldn't help but wonder.
"Zijing, how are the five major tribes doing now? If you have disobedience, you must not condone it!"
Lu Su nodded heavily, showing that he paid attention to King Qin's order.
But his face was always extremely relaxed.
"Don't worry, King Qin. The five major tribes have fallen apart after turmoil."
"I have completely divided the Qiang and Hu tribes and placed them in various counties in Liangzhou."
"The previous turmoil in Liangzhou caused the loss of all the young and strong strength of the Qiang and Hu tribes. Now those who are left are either the old and the weak, or women and children."
"Right now, the alternative to surrender is death. The Qiang people have absolutely no power to resist."
The confidence revealed by Lu Su's words and deeds made Liu Zhang feel at ease.
At the same time, I can't help but admire it secretly.
Without Qingzhuang, Lu Su could still make Liangzhou self-sufficient!
It's really not simple.
Without too much entanglement, he looked at the remaining five people in Jinbo again.
"Huh...!"
The two words that suddenly appeared in his eyes made Liu Zhang startled.
