Chapter 499 (2/2)

“My good friend?” Lu Su was stunned He did not have ood friends This is not because Lu Su was not sociable This was simply because the smart people tended to be friends with other s with normal people, they would be able to tell easily when these people were just blindly bragging They would even be able to read the minds of these nor on a stage How could they be called friends?

Those that could becouished people Zhou Yu was one such person while Sun Quan was half a friend1 He could not think of anyotten hi is now one of Milord’s advisors!” Xu Shu said with a s?” Lu Su’s eyes widen Liu Ye was indeed someone considered his friend They used to have discussions while drinking wine

In the original history, Liu Ye wrote to Lu Su saying that warlords and heroes have eed all over and that it was time to put their talents to use Liu Ye said he planned to join Zheng Bao who had rallied thousands of followers in Chenghu He also told Lu Su not to randht to Wu by Zhou Yu Zhou Yu then persuaded Lu Su to work for Sun Quan instead of taking Liu Ye’s words at face value

This was an insult to Liu Ye since Liu Ye was not inferior to Zhou Yu especially when it co’s second best advisor He could afford to lose Xu Shu but not Liu Ye This is because Liu Ye could turn the contents of the books he brought from the future to reality

The truth was that Liu Ye wanted to give his friend a chance to become famous Even if they had talent, their talent had to first be recognized before they could succeed Unfortunately, Zheng Bao was the wrong choice Liu Ye who had also fancied Sun Ce ended up declining Liu Ye’s invitation

And so, Liu Ye eventually remee Liang, and half a Sun Quan

When he heard that Liu Ye was here, he became excited He wanted to meet Liu Ye and talk about old times As they had no telephone in that era, they valued connections h likelihood that it would have been their last tizhou?” Lu Su was a bit confused As they had send letters to each other, Lu Su knew that Liu Ye went to Cao Cao after killing Zheng Bao He could not figure out how Liu Ye ended up working for Liu Mang

“Haha Master Zijing Ziyang have been with us for so’s creation!” Xu Shu replied and then explained how Liu Ye left Cao Cao

“The ballista?” Lu Su ed the ways of war entirely He could re navy That was the first ti

“Yes He also helped fight against Liu Bei at Yuzhou” Xu Shu said However, nobody knew that Liu Ye was tricked by the eot out of it was Sun Qian

“Why is Ziyang here?” Lu Su wondered Liu Ye was sh to see who the winners are That hy he killed Zheng Bao and then went to Cao Cao with Liu Xun This is because Liu Ye could tell that Cao Cao would become powerful

It was a pity Cao Cao was too afraid of Liu Ye’s Han bloodline to retted it, Liu Ye was already in Yangzhou

“Master Zijing can also see that Ziyang is talented I hope you won’t immediately reject Milord!” Xu Shu said to Lu Su With Liu Ye around, it would be easier to persuade Lu Su

“What if I still refuse to join you?”

“In that case, ill need to have you rezhou is captured” Xu Shu smiled in reply

“Is that so?” If it was earlier, Lu Su would have snorted at Xu Shu in disdain with the belief that Cao Cao would eventually capture Yangzhou This et out However, he now believed that there zhou that caused Liu Ye to join the shi+p

“Master Lu Jing How about you walk around Shouchun?” Xu Shu said as he gave Lu Su a new naave Lu Su a job as a teacher in a school While Yangzhou had money, they did not have provisions nobody was allowed to freeload Lu Su would need to work if he wanted to eat

The school was set up by Liu Mang While the nobles all disagreed with this as they believed going to school was a noble’s privilege, they weren’t able to go against Liu Mang If anyone disagreed, Liu Mang would have theh population which also means a lot of children These children would be the foundation of the future so Liu Mang wanted theh to be able to kno to read Yet it was not an easy task as there were hundreds and thousands of children Even if he dragged everyone who kne to read and write in Yangzhou out to teach these children, it would not be enough

Lu Su did not want to help Liu Mang because he believed that Liu Mang would lose If he helped Liu Mang and then Liu Mang was defeated, Lu Su would enter prison for the third ti if he enters the spotlight

Since Lu Su did not want to appear publicly, Liu Mang helped change his name and made him a teacher in school

“A teacher?” Lu Su’s eyes shone All scholars wished to write a book and push their theories This was also a way of educating people Pang Degong was influential in Jingzhou because he established the Lumen Academy The Lumen Academy produced a lot of officials and was a noble’s foundation That hy even Liu Biao cannot offend Pang Degong

Lu Su was young but he was also a a Lord conquer the world was one way Educating the people was another way

“Master Yuanzhi How should I make preparations?” Lu Su cupped his fist at Xu Shu In a sense, he was already agreeing to become a teacher

“You just need to prepare your knowledge of the Five Classics We will handle the rest” Xu Shu smiled

Lu Su nodded and later followed Xu Shu into Shouchun inside a carriage

On the second day, Xu Shu’s ht Lu Su to his class When Lu Su arrived, he was dumbstruck He was in an open area with thousands of fully arh Lu Su was a commander

“What is this? I already said I would not becoive up!” Lu Su angrily said He thought that Xu Shu wanted to force hihed “Master Lu Su misunderstand us We don’t want you to command the troops Look over there” The official then pointed at two banners On the first banner were the words “Sharing Life and Death” On the second banner were the words “Sharing Prosperity”

Lu Su furrowed his brows These words was the slogan of the Urban Arht back Sun Ce’s army of one hundred thousand At that time, they really shared life and death and made Lu Su revere them as a true elites

“Are these the Urban Army?” Lu Su asked The official nodded

Lu Su ca that he was mistaken They would definitely not reed to work for Liu Mang, it would not happen The Urban Arreed to let Lu Su coree to it

“Is that Lu Su Lu Zijing?” Huang Xu, the deputy of the Urban Ar Yu

“Yes That person is Lu Su Lu Zijing” Cheng Yu narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lu Su As Lu Su was responsible for the death of many of their comrades, it can be said that Lu Su was their enee Xu orried He knew thatwould have tears in their eyes every time that battle was mentioned It was one of theXu orried that these people would be unable to control theo after Lu Su

“Don’t worry We are the only ones who know his identity” Cheng Yu reassured Huang Xu Lu Su was a strategist Not only was he part of the top brass, he was also someone who did not join the battle directly Even if the soldiers knew his na said, the generals knew his face Cheng Yu himself wanted to kill Lu Su but restrained hi

“Master Lu Su Your first batch of students are the Urban Army!” The official said to Lu Su with a smile
