The reason why they quarreled was because the Ravenmaru Cavalry had come to You again, burning, killing, and looting the two prefectures. To say that these Hu Krupps could not be educated, they killed people and robbed money. They even captured Han people to Wuwan and used them as slaves to rape Han women.
When the luxuriously dressed young master heard this, he laughed without a care and said loudly," Those Hu Krupps are just after some money. Just give it to them. What's the big deal?" After saying that, he smiled proudly.
The man who was arguing with him, dressed like a scholar, retorted,"The Hu Krupp can't be educated. They are greedy and bully the weak. If you give them money today, they will think that we are afraid of them. Not only will they not retreat, but they will become even more aggressive.”
The luxuriously dressed man was immediately speechless. His face was green and purple, and he was as comical as he could be. He changed the topic and said,"You're being unreasonable. What does a poor scholar like you know? I, the Great Han Lion, am invincible in the world. If those Hu Krupps dare to come, I will definitely make them unable to return."
After the man finished speaking, he gave a look to the group of lackeys. Someone from the group of lackeys immediately said," That's right, that's right. Young Master Yuan, you're too good. What does a poor scholar like you know? Go do what you should do. Don't stop him from doing business." The group of lackeys also echoed.
The young master surnamed Yuan looked at the lackey who spoke with admiration. The man looked at Young Master Yuan with pity and turned to leave.
Li Bai walked over and said to the man,"Sir, please take your time."
The man turned around and cupped his hands at Li Bai,""Is there anything I can help you with?"
Li Bai didn't answer him. Instead, he turned to look at the young master surnamed Yuan and said,""Can this young master answer the next question?"
" Of course, Young Master." Seeing Li Bai's extraordinary appearance, he said politely.
"May I ask this young master, who is going to pay for the black pill?"
"Of course it's the Imperial Court."
"Then how did the money of the imperial court come about?"
"Of course, the people of the world will hand it over."
Li Bai's expression suddenly changed and he said sternly,""Since the commoners have worked tirelessly to pay taxes to the country, why doesn't the imperial court protect the commoners? If things are as you say, then what's the use of the commoners paying taxes to the imperial court? It would be better to leave the money behind and give it to the bandits when they come."
"This…" The young master surnamed Yuan was speechless. He turned around and left with a face full of shame. Li Bai looked at his back with disdain. Only then did he turn around and look at the scholar.
The Confucian scholar who was arguing with him was shocked after hearing Li Bai's words. Perhaps he did not expect that the young master of the Han Dynasty could have such an opinion. Before he could recover, Li Bai looked at him and said,"I wonder if Mister is satisfied with my words?”
The scholar said,"Young Master's words have shocked me. I am also very impressed."
He nodded and said,"May I ask your name?"
" I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. I'm Linhuai Lu Su," that person replied.
When Li Bai heard that the person was Lu Su, he was first shocked, then overjoyed. He thought to himself, What a talent! Lu Su (172 - 217), also known as Zijing, Han, from Dongcheng County, Linhuai County (now Dingyuan, Anhui), an outstanding strategist and diplomat in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was born in a noble family, and his father died when he was young. He was raised by his grandmother. He was tall, forthright, fond of reading, riding and shooting. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when he saw the fatuous court, corrupt officials, and social unrest, he often gathered the youths in the village to train and practice martial arts. He was also generous and was deeply admired by his fellow villagers. At that time, Zhou Yu was the chief of the nest. He asked Lu Su for help because of the lack of food. Lu Su generously gave Zhou Yu a warehouse of 3,000 bushels of food. From then on, the two of them became good friends and plotted together.
In the second year of Jian 'an, Lu Su led his subordinates to defect to Sun Quan. He proposed a strategic plan to dominate River East, which was why Sun Quan appreciated him. In the 13th year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao led his army south. Most of Sun Quan's subordinates advocated surrender, while Lu Su and Zhou Yu resisted the public opinion and insisted on fighting. In the end, the Sun and Liu alliance army defeated the Cao army at Red Cliff. From then on, the three kingdoms were established.
After the Battle of Red Cliff, Lu Su was appointed as the commander of the Zan Army. After Zhou Yu's death, Sun Quan adopted Zhou Yu's suggestion and ordered Lu Su to take over Zhou Yu's position and lead 4,000 soldiers. Because Lu Su managed the army well, the army quickly grew to more than 10,000 people.
According to the political and military situation at that time, Sun Quan appointed Lu Su as the prefect of Hanchang and appointed him as a partial general. After Lu Su followed Sun Quan to break through the city of Wan, he was appointed General of Hengjiang and guarded Lukou.
Later, Lu Su invited Guan Yu to meet him in order to obtain Jingzhou, but he returned empty-handed. In the 22nd year of Jian 'an, Lu Su died at the age of 46. Sun Quan personally mourned for Lu Su, and Zhuge Liang also mourned for him.
Where could he find such a talent? He had to keep him here. If he had nothing to do, he could manage money and food. If he had something to do, he could be a counselor. If he had to fight, he could be a general. It would be strange if Li Bai had seen such a talent again.
Li Bai suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said calmly,""The original Linhuai Lu Zijing, I've heard a lot about you."
Lu Su thought to himself. How did he know my name was Zijing? How did he know that Li Bai had transmigrated from the future?
Lu Su said,"Young Master knows Lu Su."
Li Bai replied,"I've always heard that Lu Zijing from Linhuai is very talented. Now that I've seen him, I know that the rumors are true."
"Young Master praises me too much. May I know why Young Master called me?”，Lu Su said.
Li Bai pondered for a moment and said," I want to go to Mister Zijing to help me. What do you think?"”Li Bai said.
"This…" Lu Su didn't expect Li Zhong to recruit him so directly. May I ask what Young Master's ambition is?"
Li Bai thought for a moment, but didn't answer Lu Su. Instead, he walked to the side of the table, picked up a bottle of Old White Dry Wine, and drank it in big gulps. When he was almost done, he chanted loudly,""I'm so angry that my hair stands on end. He raised his eyes and let out a long howl towards the sky. Thirty years of fame and fortune, dust and soil, eight thousand miles of road clouds and months. Don't be idle, white youth's head, empty sorrow! When will the hatred of courtiers disappear? He drove a long chariot and broke through the gap of Helan Mountain. Ambition hungry to eat Hu Krupp meat, laughing and drinking Xiongnu blood. To clean up the old mountains and rivers from the beginning, to the imperial court!”，Then, he laughed sadly and turned to Lu Su,""My lifelong wish is for everyone to have enough to eat, for everyone to wear warm clothes, and for everyone to kill all the barbarians.”
Lu Su had yet to recover from the shock of these words when he heard Li Bai say," My lifelong wish is for everyone to have enough to eat, for everyone to wear warm clothes, and to kill all the barbarians. This is my ambition."”
Lu Su was stunned for a moment. He suddenly knelt down in front of Li Bai and said loudly,"" Thank you for your favor, Young Master. I dare not refuse your service. I pay my respects to my lord."
"Hahahaha", another burst of laughter. Li Bai reached out to help Lu Su up and said," Alright, with Zijing helping me, I won't be able to accomplish anything." The two of them looked at each other and laughed again. Even Guan Hai and Wen Chou, who were behind them, also laughed out loud.
Jade Eyes, oh Jade Eyes, Lu Su is mine now. Hahahaha, Li Bai laughed proudly in his heart.
