Chapter 1089 Huainan Thief
Although Lu's mother did not know the true meaning of Lu Su's words, she had great trust in Lu Su.
Whether you understand or not is secondary, the important thing is to believe.
Then Lu's mother agreed: "Since my son has made a conclusion in his mind, there is nothing wrong in thinking about it. In this case, you should be careful along the way."
Lu Su paid his respects to his mother, and then sent someone to summon his troops and asked them to go with him to seek refuge.
Over the years, Lu Su sold off his land, and in addition to making friends with elegant scholars and heroic knights from all walks of life, he also used these properties to support more than a hundred tribesmen and a large number of disciples.
Normal wealthy families and powerful men recruit refugees as apprentices in order to enrich their wallets and squeeze their labor force, but Lu Su, a freak, recruited too many apprentices, beyond what his strength can accept, so After one year's calculation, the Lu family actually lost money.
It feels a bit like doing business and doing charity.
But Lu Su is a great person because he has great ideas. As long as he sees it right, he will do it even if it means losing money.
At that moment, Lu Su organized the number of disciples he had recruited and the land register, and led a group of troops in the direction of Runan.
Although Lu Su is a weirdo, he is quite famous in Juchao because he is willing to do good and generous.
Lu Su's actions naturally attracted the attention of the people in Juchao.
Folk gossip spread far faster than ordinary people imagined. Soon, the villagers near Juchao knew that Lu Su was going to Runan with his troops, and many of them also knew that Lu Su was going to Runan this time. It was to meet the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
For a time, all the people living in Chao sighed with emotion: "Lu Lang has reached great heights!"
Lu Su packed his belongings, took Bu Qu, said goodbye to his mother, and headed straight for Runan.
While traveling to the border of Jiujiang, suddenly some of his subordinates on the road came to report to Lu Su that there were more than a thousand thieves galloping towards him ten miles behind.
"Who drove me away?" Lu Su frowned, a little confused. He probably hadn't offended anyone.
Lu Su's men said: "They are dried plums."
Lu Su was stunned when he heard this.
During the Chuping period, after Yuan Shu occupied Jianghuai, his subordinates included Lei Xu, Mei Gan and others, all of whom held high positions such as Sima in other departments and served as his minions.
After Yuan Shu suffered a stroke and went to Luoyang, Jianghuai came under the control of Liu Qi, and these generals who had not been good under Yuan Shu in the past immediately rebelled and began to cause trouble.
They would rather be bandits in Luocao in the Jianghuai River than accept the losses brought to them by Liu Qi's new policy.
And it has to be said that these people do have some appeal in Jianghuai.
After Lei Xu, Mei Gan and others became bandits, they actually gathered tens of thousands of people in a short period of time. Although the strength of these tens of thousands of people varied, and most of them were just mobs, after all, the base number was there. Although he cannot compete with the princes and pastors, if he wants to dominate Jiujiang County and bully the people, there is absolutely no problem.
However, although these people are now bandits, what is surprising is that their relationship with Lu Su is actually very close.
This is what makes Lu Su different from ordinary people. He is philanthropic and generous. Not only celebrities and heroes, but even these thieves have a deep relationship with Lu Su.
However, those people were still thieves after all. Even if Lu Su had some friendship with them on weekdays, at this juncture, Lu Su had to guard against them.
This is related to Lu Su's future and destiny, so he must be cautious.
At that moment, Lu Su shouted loudly and ordered his chief troops to line up in a row. Lu Su himself stood on horseback in front of the formation with a solemn expression, looking into the distance.
In fact, the number of troops Lu Su supported was only about two hundred. Not to mention the tens of thousands of thieves led by Lei Xu, these more than a thousand pursuers could defeat them all in less than an hour or three.
kill.
To be honest, at this moment, Lu Su was waiting for a group of soldiers on the official road, waiting for each other, and his subordinates could not help but feel panic in their hearts.
After all, there is a huge gap between the enemy and us. We don’t know what the other party is chasing after us. It would be fine if we don’t take action, but once we actually take action, wouldn’t our side suffer a big loss?
However, although everyone was uneasy, Lu Su seemed extremely calm at the moment. He had a solemn expression, straightened his back and stood on the horse, looking into the distance without any fear.
Seeing that their father-in-law was so calm, the nervousness of the children began to dissipate, and the uneasiness in their hearts gradually calmed down.
I don’t know how long it took, but a cloud of dust rose from the ground not far away, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard in the air.
After a while, a vanguard force of about dozens of cavalry appeared in front of Lu Su.
Although the opponents are all inferior horses, their formation is relatively neat and orderly.
After all, Lei Xu, Mei Gan and others were all high-level military academies under Yuan Shu in the past, and they still had the ability to train troops.
Even if they become thieves, the thieves they bring out are different from other people.
Mei Gan, who led his men here, saw a small force blocking the road. After observing, he saw that the appearance of the man leading the army was somewhat similar to the rumored appearance of Lu Su.
Gentleman respects you?"
Mei Qian had never met Lu Su, and among the Huainan thieves, only Lei Xu had some friendship with Lu Su.
Seeing that the other party had finally arrived, the subordinates behind Lu Su also moved together. Under the scorching sun, the white smoke exhaled from the horses' muzzles was clearly visible.
Lu Su smiled faintly, rode forward on his horse, and responded, "A certain Lu Su, don't you dare to ask for your honor?"
The plum blossoms were overjoyed when they heard this. He hurriedly bowed on his horse and said to Lu Su, "A certain plum blossom family has come to meet Lu Jun on the orders of Commander Lei."
Lu Su bowed slightly to greet him, but before he could reply, he suddenly saw a large army behind Mei Gan rushing towards Lu Su's direction.
The speed of the more than a thousand infantrymen was very fast, and there seemed to be no pause. As they ran, the crowd splashed dust all over the sky.
Lu Su frowned, then reached out and took out the long bow, and shot an arrow!
Following Lu Su's movements, the bow holders behind him also took out their bows and arrows, and shot the arrows together with Lu Su.
Mei Gan was surprised when she saw Lu Su holding his bow.
When Su's arrow shot out, Mei Gan's heart dropped.
Lu Su and the troops behind him did not shoot at him, but on the ground in front of the official road.
Mei Gan looked down and saw more than ten long arrows lined up in a neat row on the ground.
The infantrymen running up from behind stopped before the row of long arrows.
Mei Gan stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, then she cupped her hands at Lu Su and said, "Master Lu is good at bows! Your men are also good at it."
Lu Su and others showed this trick, firstly to stop the advance of the opponent's infantry, and secondly as a deterrent.
Lu Su slowly put down the long bow in his hand, looked at Mei Qian and said: "Your Majesty, are you here, are you an enemy or a friend?"
