Lu Xuan laughed and said calmly: "You know me, Gong Jin. Tiger generals like Tai Shi Ci are scarce in Lujiang. Gong Jin can run an army and have strategies, but he can't charge into battle."
"Zhang Zhao is good at handling internal affairs and stabilizing the rear, but he is not good at fighting. Xu Shao has many connections, and he is completely blind when fighting."
"With Tai Shici, our shortcomings have been temporarily made up for."
Lu Xuan looked forward to it and said excitedly: "So I am bound to win Taishi Ci's place."
Zhou Yu marveled at Lu Xuan's judgment and asked with a smile: "How does the lord plan to recruit Tai Shici?"
Lu Xuan replied: "Tai Shici is from Qingzhou and came to Yangzhou to seek refuge. He now has no fixed residence and hopes to be useful. It just so happens that Lujiang County can give him a platform to display his talents."
"My plan is very simple. I won't go around in circles and just recruit directly."
Having said this, Lu Xuan paused and joked: "Gong Jin, why don't we make another bet on whether we can recruit Tai Shi Ci."
"Don't, don't, don't!"
Zhou Yu said the word "goodbye" three times in a row and shook his head to refuse. He had already lost twice in a bet with Lu Xuan.
What's more, Taishi Ci was in a bad situation now, so Lu Xuan took advantage of the opportunity to recruit him, so Taishi Ci could easily submit.
Any more bets are asking for trouble.
The two chatted and waited for Tai Shici.
It didn't take long. After Taishi Ci had washed himself, he came in with his son Taishi Heng, and Lu Xun followed him.
"Master Lu."
Taishi Ci bowed and saluted.
Lu Xuan smiled and waved his hand: "Brother Taishi, please sit down."
After Taishi Ci thanked him, he sat down with Taishi Heng. Although there were injuries on his body, fortunately they were just superficial injuries and nothing serious.
Lu Xuan asked people to bring wine and food. The wine was Feixian wine and the meat was top-quality lamb chops, which was very rich.
Lu Xuan picked up the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Brother Taishi, this time Lu Xun is in danger, thank you for your help. I respect you for this glass of wine."
"please!"
Lu Xuan held the wine bottle and drank it in one gulp. Because the alcohol content of Feixian Liquor is high and there is not much wine in the cup, drinking it in one sip will have no effect.
"Master Lu, please!"
Taishi Ci returned the favor with a smile and drank it in one gulp.
Feixian Wine entered his mouth, and the rich aroma of the wine exploded from the tip of his tongue. A strong shock flashed in Taishi Ci's eyes. After thinking about it for a while, he breathed a long sigh of relief. His whole body relaxed and he felt extremely comfortable.
Taishi Ci's mouth was filled with the aroma of wine and he praised: "Master Lu's wine is really good."
Lu Xuan said: "This wine is called Feixian Wine. It was brewed by me alone. It is suitable to drink slowly. It will taste more delicious if you taste it slowly. Brother Taishi is here, I have enough for today!"
Tai Shici said: "Master Lu has spent a lot of money."
Both of them spoke words of praise to each other, and after some exchanges between each other, Lu Xuan put down the wine glass in his hand and solemnly said: "Brother Taishi has a great reputation in Donglai County, and I have always admired him very much."
Taishi Ci was shocked and asked, "Does Mr. Lu also know about me?"
Lu Xuan looked calm and said unhurriedly: "Brother Taishi served in Donglai County at a young age and became famous in Qingzhou. Especially since Brother Taishi is not afraid of the powerful, I admire him even more. If you don't have such a temperament, If I encounter Lu Xun’s problem today, I won’t be willing to help. All of this is thanks to Brother Taishi.”
Zhou Yu was also surprised when he heard it.
Lu Xuan said that Tai Shici was from Qingzhou, so that was all. However, Lu Xuan actually knew the details of Tai Shi Ci.
Lu Xuan is from Yangzhou. He has always been in Lujiang County and has never left. The two sides are far apart, one in the south and the other in the north. Moreover, Taishi Ci came to seek refuge and did not stay in Yangzhou all the time. Across the world, Lu Xuan actually knew Tai Shi Ci.
Taishi Ci looked humble, shook his head and said, "Young Master Lu is too generous."
Lu Xuan continued: "Qingzhou is now in chaos. There are yellow scarf thieves everywhere. Brother Taishi has no place to use his skills. Now that Brother Taishi is going south, he hopes to find a place to gain a foothold."
"Yuan Shu, who is entrenched in Jiujiang County, is cunning and cunning. He kills people and is extravagant. Brother Taishi must know this when he travels to places."
"Tao Qian of Xuzhou is old. He is already a withered bone in the grave and may die at any time. Moreover, there are many wealthy families in Xuzhou, and they are all in power. No one recommends him, and Brother Taishi cannot gain a foothold."
"Cao Cao of Yanzhou is indeed a capable man, but Cao Cao only uses his own people. Cao Cao's direct descendants are all members of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. Brother Taishi has no use for him when he goes to Yanzhou."
"Liu Biao of Jingzhou values literature over martial arts and does not value military men. He only likes celebrities. It will be difficult for him to gain a foothold even if Brother Taishi is gone."
"As for Yuan Shao of Jizhou, he only values his family background. Brother Taishi is from a poor family and has no use for him."
Lu Xuan talked eloquently and analyzed: "My father Lu Kang is in charge of Lujiang County. He appoints talented people and is eager for talents. If Brother Taishi does not dislike it, you can stay in Lujiang County. I guarantee that you will be useful."
Taishi Ci was also thinking after listening to Lu Xuan's analysis.
Lu Xuan is not very old, but he has a clear understanding of the situation in various states and the situations of various princes. He is indeed very knowledgeable.
The most important thing is that Qingzhou was ravaged by the Yellow Turban bandits. Taishi Ci came south to Yangzhou and was helpless. He urgently needed a foothold.
Lu Kang is a role model for scholars. If you can follow Lu Kang, it is a good choice.
Lu Xuan struck while the iron was hot and continued: "Brother Taishi went south to seek refuge. If you are alone, you can make any arrangements. But if you have children, it will be different."
"It doesn't matter if the adults suffer hardships, but the child is too young. He also needs guidance and a stable life now."
"Nowadays, many places in Jiangdong's counties are in a mess. Only our Lujiang County is the most stable, so why not stay?"
After listening to Lu Xuan's words, Taishi Ci thought about Lu Xuan's courtesy and corporal and the evaluation of the Lu family by outsiders. He felt a little moved in his heart, but he also hesitated. After all, he didn't know much about the more specific situation of the Lu family and Lu Xuan.
"Dad, let's stay. I want to play with Brother Lu."
Tai Shiheng's voice came out.
When he was seven or eight years old, he had a good time with the teenage Lu Xun.
Lu Xuan also looked over and made eye contact with Lu Xun. Lu Xun had a trace of pride on his face, looking like he was asking for credit.
Obviously, there was Lu Xun's persuasion.
"Good boy!"
Lu Xuan also laughed in his heart. Lu Xun is indeed a famous person in history, very smart.
At a young age, I already knew how to assist.
When Taishi Ci heard his son's words, the hesitation in his heart disappeared instantly.
For children!
And for himself!
Taishi Ci no longer hesitated, clasped his fists decisively and said: "I hold this humble position, Taishi Ci, and I am willing to serve you."
His choice was Lu Xuan.
To gain a foothold in the Lu family, it is natural to rely on Lu Xuan. This is the best choice.
Lu Xuan also laughed and said: "With the help of Brother Taishi, our Lu family is even more powerful. On behalf of the Lu family, I welcome Brother Taishi."
Tai Shici solemnly said: "The nickname for a humble position is Ziyi, and you can just call me by the nickname Young Master. Next, I will rely on Young Master."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said: "Ziyi and I, no one relies on the other, we achieve each other and support each other. Ziyi was injured, is it serious?"
Tai Shici replied: "It's just a skin injury. It's not a problem. It can be recovered in two or three days."
Lu Xuan said: "I conclude that Zhang Xiong will lead people to attack the Lu family tonight. Tonight, Ziyi needs to take action to kill Zhang Xiong and destroy the Zhang family."
Tai Shici was surprised and said: "Sir, although Zhang Xiong is domineering, he is just a county governor. How dare he attack the Lu family?"
Lu Xuan said firmly: "If he doesn't come, he won't be the arrogant and domineering Zhang Xiong. He will definitely come tonight."
Taishi Ci also looked forward to it and said, "Since I have a humble position, I should give my best."
Lu Xuan nodded. With Tai Shi Ci's help, things would be easier to handle. He began to discuss the evening arrangements with Zhou Yu and Tai Shi Ci.
