Qiao Yu stroked his beard and laughed happily.
Zhang Zhao is willing to serve Lu Xuan, which is a good thing and worth celebrating.
Qiao Yu arranged for a banquet, and the attendants entered with wine, meat and dishes that had been prepared long ago. With the agreement between Zhang Zhao and Lu Xuan, the atmosphere became more harmonious.
A banquet where both the guest and the host enjoy themselves.
After Zhang Zhao had eaten and drank enough, he put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Master Lu, I have one more thing to say."
Lu Xuan sat up straight and said, "Mr. Zibu, please speak."
Zhang Zhao said: "Master Lu, if you want to achieve a great career, you cannot do without talents. As the saying goes, only when the sea embraces all rivers can you become great. So you must have enough talents in the future. It happens that in Shu County, I know a great talent .”
Lu Xuan asked: "Who is it?"
Zhang Zhao replied: "Zhou Yu from the Zhou family in Shu County is young, only twenty years old. Zhou Yu is full of knowledge and has extraordinary knowledge. If you can get help from Zhou Yu, you will be even more powerful."
"Furthermore, if Zhou Yu works for you, the Zhou family will naturally be used by you."
"It's a no-brainer."
"The only problem is that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are sworn brothers, so it's not easy to win them over. You need to work hard."
Zhang Zhao smiled and said: "I am just making suggestions. As for whether Mr. Lu is willing to adopt it, it depends on your own wishes."
Qiao Yu didn't wait for Lu Xuan to answer, and said directly: "Brother Xian, your suggestion is useless."
"Why?"
Zhang Zhao had a look of surprise on his face.
Qiao Yu explained: "Zhou Yu has agreed to serve his nephew."
"ah!"
Zhang Zhao was surprised.
Lu Xuan is talented, capable, and knowledgeable. Zhang Zhao has recognized it, and everyone, including Zhang Zhao himself, has decided to work for Lu Xuan.
However, Lu Xuan recruited Zhou Yu.
when did it happen?
Zhang Zhao knew very well the character of Zhou Yu. He was extremely proud and looked down on ordinary people. With such a person's eyes above the top, even if Lu Xuan recruits him, it will be difficult to succeed.
Zhang Zhao was shocked and asked: "What is going on?"
This time, Qiao Yu didn't let Lu Xuan explain. He directly told Lu Xuan about Sun Ce's ambush on the road, and said that Lu Xuan was planning to kill Sun Ce... After explaining the general situation, Qiao Yu said: "Brother, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce After cutting off his robe and severing his righteousness, he served his wise nephew."
Zhang Zhao was amazed when he heard this.
Lu Xuan's analysis of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao can be said to be profound.
This is Lu Xuan's vision and wisdom.
This time, Lu Xuan made an early prediction, further calculated against Sun Ce, and took the opportunity to win over Zhou Yu. His method was too clever.
Keeping Zhou Yu is equivalent to leaving behind a great talent.
It’s a good deal no matter what.
As for the agreed three years, if Lu Xuan couldn't make Zhou Yu return to his heart in three years, it would be a failure.
At this moment, Zhang Zhao's thoughts changed again.
He expected Lu Xuan to stand on his own feet.
Once Lu Xuan becomes independent, he will have the opportunity to display his talents.
Zhang Zhao looked at Lu Xuan and said solemnly: "I admire Master Lu's methods."
Lu Xuan said modestly: "Thank you, sir."
As soon as the conversation changed, Lu Xuan chatted with Zhang Zhao and Qiao Yu for a while, and then took the initiative and said: "Uncle Qiao, Mr. Zibu, I made an appointment with Zhou Yu to meet, so I won't stay any longer and take my leave."
Qiao Yu smiled and said: "A man puts his career first, so go ahead and do your own thing."
Zhang Zhao said: "Master Lu, walk slowly."
Lu Xuan bowed again, left Qiao's house, returned to the prefect's mansion, and arranged for someone to notify Zhou Yu. Not long after, Zhou Yu entered the backyard, cupped his hands and said, "Master Lu."
Lu Xuan smiled and said: "Gongjin, please take a seat."
Zhou Yu sat down and said, "Master Lu came to see me. What are you going to talk about?"
Lu Xuan said directly: "I want to make money by brewing wine."
Zhou Yu had a strange look on his face and said: "Master Lu separated from me earlier and said that the world has changed suddenly and Lujiang County must be strong to survive in troubled times. I thought you wanted to discuss the situation with me."
"Now, Mr. Lu is asking me to talk about making money by brewing wine. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"
"Young Master Lu is the heir to the Lu family, and the Lu family has plenty of money. If you need money, just transfer it. In addition, if Young Master Lu is really short of money, I, Zhou Yu, am willing to lend you some."
Zhou Yu looked disapproving.
He looked confident and continued his analysis: "The most important point is that every family has its own way of brewing wine. Even if Mr. Lu has a unique brewing method, he can't open up sales. It's impossible for you to make money by selling wine. arrive."
"No, it can be done."
Lu Xuan spoke firmly.
He looked at Zhou Yu's questioning look and said loudly: "My wine will not only make money, but also be sold jointly by the Lu family, Zhou family and Gu family. With the help of my wine, the three major families will be tied together and work for me. I want to deal with the situation in Lujiang County. The first thing is that the three major families must support me. This is the first step."
The pupils in Zhou Yu's eyes shrank.
Somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan had such thoughts.
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Master Lu's idea is good, but it's a pity that it's difficult. It's not easy to make money by making wine, especially with the help of one kind of wine, you want to connect the three major families so that the three major families recognize you, support you, and be used by you. , it’s impossible to do it. Your wine can’t produce such big benefits.”
Lu Xuan was still calm and asked: "Gongjin, how about we make a bet?"
Zhou Yu asked: "What are you betting on?"
Lu Xuan leaned forward slightly, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and said: "If my wine can make a lot of money and generate huge benefits, and let the three families support me, the three-year agreement between you and me will be invalidated, Gong Jin Work for me from now on. If I lose, the three-year contract will be cancelled, and Gong Jin can leave at any time."
In Lu Xuan's eyes, the three-year agreement was a way to retain Zhou Yu and a means to appease Zhou Yu.
Use the joke of betting to eliminate the bet, resolve the gap between you and Zhou Yu, and bring the relationship closer between the two parties.
Zhou Yu was also sizing up Lu Xuan.
He was thinking in his mind, guessing Lu Xuan's intentions. Lu Xuan wanted to make money and also rely on the three major families, but Lu Xuan's ultimate goal may be the bet with him.
But how can Lu Xuan use a kind of wine to generate huge benefits and be recognized by all three major families?
Zhou Yu thought it was difficult.
