Han Xiang

Chapter 87 What is Zheng Bao?

Long Xiang was taken aback immediately after hearing this, and at the same time was shocked by Lu Su's wisdom, asking the most sensitive topic in one sentence.

The "honest people" of the Three Kingdoms portrayed by TV dramas are not foolish people.

When he took over as the governor of Soochow, the various factions in Jiangdong were fighting openly and secretly, and the situation was complicated. Lu Su was able to stabilize the generals and unite Liu against Cao. Without real skills, it would be impossible.

Long Xiang was dominated by Lu Su's sharp questions, he had to make a quick decision now, and now he had only two options: finding a reason to perfunctory or confessing.

If he finds a reason to make excuses, Long Xiang believes that the other party will not continue to question, and then the two of them tacitly agree, but that will give Lu Su the impression that he will become a clever and cunning person.

If the truth is told, Lu Su may be moved by Long Xiang's honesty, but he may also be disgusted by Long Xiang's cutting off food, and then completely deny it in terms of character.

Serving Yuan Shu as a soldier and counting his food and grass, if this matter is placed on the moral high ground, Long Xiang's behavior can be regarded as a "stain in life".

As a modern person who traveled through time, Long Xiang only wanted to survive in his own way. As for the so-called moral constraints, he actually didn't care.

After all, he was born at the bottom, and no one cares about his morality. Even if Long Xiang does good deeds every day, he may not be able to stand out.

Years of experience told Long Xiang that if a person is too honest and kind, life must be difficult or even miserable.

Everyone is praising honest people, but everyone is 'bullying' honest people.

In the original world of Longchamp, those so-called successful people in the spotlight now, few of them can see the first pot of gold, but in the end they are all packaged as hard work and luck.

Take the end of Han Dynasty in front of us as an example, among those princes standing at the top of power, how many of them really abide by morality, benevolence and righteousness?
Long Xiang intercepted Yuan Shu's 400 grains, while Yuan Shu and Yuan's family intercepted the Great Han Dynasty. The gentry represented by them competed with the imperial power for interests for a long time, and finally caused the [-]-year-long dynasty to fall apart.

Lu Bu killed his adoptive father for profit, Cao Cao slaughtered the city for profit, Sun Ce rebelled against Yuan Shu for profit, Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu for profit, Ma Teng made officials and bandits rampage for profit, Liu Yan made suggestions for Lizhou Mu
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the princes who ruled one side, each had many immoral "stains", but it did not prevent these people from competing for the world, nor did it prevent capable people from contributing.

Although Liu Bei also has some minor flaws, he is a clear stream among the princes, so Long Xiang chose him without hesitation.

Yuan Shu took the people's fat and the people's ointment for his own use, and Long Xiang intercepted his food for the people.

From this point of view, Long Xiang didn't feel guilty, but was worried that a famous person like Lu Su would care.

Since there was no way to escape, and Long Xiang had a clear conscience, he took another big gamble and decided to treat each other with sincerity.

"Since Zijing mentioned it, Long Xiang didn't want to hide it. Two years ago, Yuan Shu married Lu Bu and promised Lu Bu [-] grains of grain as employment. Most of them were intercepted by me privately and transported to Hefei City."

"It was"

Lu Su was obviously shocked by Long Xiang's honesty, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"At that time, I served as Quhou under the command of General Qiao, but Yuan Shu's confidant Han Yin took a fancy to me. In fact, he liked my simple background."

Long Xiang saw that Lu Su didn't show contempt, so he told the story of the food interception in detail.

After Long Xiang finished speaking and picked up the bowl to drink water, Lu Su murmured:
"At that time, I suspected that the burning of the boat in Surabaya was strange. I didn't think it was Long Sima who used a clever trick to hide the truth, that is, your status is low and you don't pay attention to it. In addition, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are also suspicious of each other. Otherwise, this matter will not stand up to scrutiny."

"If Zijing was Yuan Shu's aide at that time, I'm afraid I'd die to live to this day." Long Xiang shook his head and smiled wryly.

Looking at Long Xiang's childish face, Lu Su slightly shook his head jokingly: "Speaking of which, a small part of the military rations Long Sima intercepted belonged to me."

"Ok?"

Long Xiang was taken aback when he heard it, and frantically used his brain to calculate, and then asked: "Could it be that Zhou Gongjin sent those grains?"

Lu Su nodded slightly, "At that time, Yuan Shu was constantly fighting with foreign countries, and the grain demanded by counties and counties continued to increase. Gong Jin came to ask me for help because of the lack of grain in the nest, and we got to know each other because of this."

"How much food did Zijing donate back then?"

"There is a granary of about three thousand hu."

When Long Xiang heard what a guy he was, he thought that Lu Su was actually an angel investor.

He then got up and walked to Lu Su with strides, solemnly 'threatening': "Since Zijing knows the secret of my Hefei, he can't let Mr. leave."

Lu Su patted his chest and assured: "Shouchun and Yuan Shuer are the only ones that Long Sima is worried about. At present, Hefei is only allowed to enter and leave. I believe it is difficult for the news to spread to the north.

Since Lu Su abandoned his official position and went south, he has nothing to do with Yuan Shu. I promise on my own reputation that I will never spread this matter to the outside world, and I will not say anything when I meet Gong Jin. "

"Hahaha"

Long Xiang first looked up to the sky and laughed, then lowered his head and said meaningfully:
"Why does Zijing think this is possible? That's because I am cautious enough to eliminate all uncertain factors.

I believe in Zijing's character very much, but as long as he is a human being, he will make mistakes, what if you get drunk or talk in your sleep one day?"

Seeing that Long Xiang was serious, Lu Su immediately stood up from his seat.

Looking at Long Xiang, who is also tall, Lu Su frowned: "Long Sima wants to kill me?"

"No."

Long Xiang waved his hands lightly, and said sincerely: "Hefei is at the time of employing people, and I admire Zi Jing's talent very much. I would like to invite you to live here for a few years, and let you go after Yuan Shu's defeat."

Lu Su raised his eyebrows and snorted softly: "What if Yuan Shu doesn't die? Wouldn't I be trapped to death in Hefei?"

Long Xiang asked solemnly: "Yuan Shu's claiming to be an emperor and stand on his own is not tolerated by the world, so he must perish. Zi Jing abandoned his official position and left, didn't he also see this?"

"Although Yuan Shu can't achieve great things, Huainan's strength is still not weak. Although Cao Cao has the heart to annex the south, Yuan Shao in the north is coveting, and Liu Biao and Lu Bu are also coveting the Central Plains, so Yuan Shu may not die in a short time."

Lu Su stroked his beard and nodded in analysis, and his excitement was relatively stable again.

After hearing this, Long Xiang suddenly changed the subject: "Zijing went south to find Gongjin, is it possible that he intends to join Sun Ce in Jiangdong? I advise you to keep your eyes open."

"Long Sima thinks too much."

Although Lu Su's expression was very calm, his heart was agitated.

He asked Long Xiang a fatal question just now, and now the other party's question is equally fatal, but he subconsciously chose not to admit it.

Long Xiang didn't engage in useless arguments, but immediately launched an analysis.

"Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are good friends. When Sun Ce borrowed troops to attack Liu Yao in the past, Zhou Yu fought with him and contributed a lot;
At this time, facing the threats of Cao Cao and Lu Bu, Yuan Shu was unable to cross the river and seize Jiangdong again;
Most of Jiangdong's surname is now Sun, and Gongjin was recommended by Zijing. I believe that he will be reused under Sun Ce's command. "

Lu Su waved his hand again to deny: "I don't deny that your analysis is good, but I quit my job in Dongcheng this time, but I was advised by a friend to go south and vote for Zheng Bao."

Long Xiang was stunned, what is Zheng Bao?How come I haven't heard of the person who Lu Su likes?
