Three Kingdoms: God-level selection

After listening to Du Ji's story, Su Yan said,"It's unfortunate that Gongsun Zan was defeated, but it's good news for us. After all, we have made enemies with him, and it's better for us if he falls."

Du Ji said,"I think so too. But even though the court knew he was defeated, they still rewarded him, which shows that he still has some connections in the court and can have a say."

Su Yan blew a breath of hot air on his hands, then leaned over the brazier to warm them.

"Now that the matter has been settled, Gongsun Zan cannot come back from the border for the time being, so he cannot affect us. Next, we should consider how to take control of Zhuo County."

Su Yan said slowly.

Du Ji bowed and said,"With the power of the lord now, it is not difficult to control Zhuo County. It mainly depends on the intention of the governor Liu Yu."

"As long as he supports us, the lord's forces can easily control Zhuo County."

Su Yan smiled and looked up at him.

"Liu Yu used this tactic very well. He just wanted to promote me, then put me in the open and use me to deal with his enemies."

"You mean Gongsun Zan and......Your father?"

Du Ji thought for a moment and asked.

"That's right, he knew that I was not favored in the family, so he wanted to value me and use me to deal with my father. This move is very powerful."

Su Yan smiled

"So what do you mean?" Du Ji asked tentatively

""I obey orders in public, but disobey them in private." Su Yan said,"Liu Yu wants to use me to deal with my father. I can accept his benefits on the surface, and then strengthen our"

"But secretly, we can wait for the right opportunity and make a move after seeing the situation clearly, instead of blindly being Liu Yu's loyal dog."

Su Yan is clear about Liu Yu's situation. Since he came to Youzhou, he has been under the control of Su Ping.

He was unwilling to accept this, so he wanted to use Su Yan to break the current situation, let them conflict with each other, and he could reap the benefits.

After all, Su Ping is still in power now. He controls the power of the entire Youzhou. It is definitely unwise to deal with him.

Su Yan is not stupid. He will not be a knife in Liu Yu's hand, pointing wherever he hits.

Although he has no feelings for that family and no hope for that cheap father.

But this does not mean that he will lose his mind to help Liu Yu.

Now he has been named the governor of Zhuo County, and owning a county is already a huge increase in power.

He can completely borrow Su Ping's banner to develop power in Youzhou and strengthen himself.

Although Liu Yu promoted him, it was not out of kindness, and he was not grateful.

Now Su Ping is the one in power, and Su Yan can tell the situation clearly.

Even if Su Su Ping doesn't like him, but he is his eldest son after all, so he has no reason to deal with him.

As long as Su Yan doesn't become Liu Yu's lackey and help deal with Su Ping.

Su Ping will never abandon his family affection to deal with him.

He will even be happy about it. After all, his son has become the governor of a county, and his own power has been strengthened, so he will be more confident in dealing with Liu Yu. Su

Yan's goal is to control the timing between Su Ping and Liu Yu, so that he can continue to grow in the cracks and finally rise.

As long as he can hold on for more than half a year, the situation will be different in an instant.

The Ten Attendants Rebellion will break out next year. By then, Emperor Ling of Han will die, Dong Zhuo will enter Beijing, and the focus of the whole world will be on the capital.

The princes' fight against Dong is his opportunity to rise!

After listening to Su Yan's words, Du Ji was relieved to know that he would not act blindly.

He smiled and said,"By the way, my lord, there is another piece of news you need to know"

"What?"

Su Yan asked

"Lu Zhi is back"

"Lu Zhi?"

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said,"Isn't he working in the court? Why is he back?"

Du Ji said,"Lu Zhi was in charge of suppressing the rebellion of the Qiang people in Liangzhou before. Because he didn't make much contribution, the court blamed him and dismissed him from his post. He then retired and returned home."

"So that's it."

Su Yan suddenly understood after hearing this.

Yes, I remember that it seemed that Dong Zhuo had secretly reported Lu Zhi and asked Zhang Rang to slander Lu Zhi to Emperor Ling of Han, so that he could take the opportunity to seize power and quell the rebellion.

It was also because of this rebellion that Dong Zhuo was lavishly rewarded and his power grew, so that he could later lead his troops to the capital.

Thinking of this, Su Yan couldn't help but squint his eyes, and other ideas arose in his heart.

Although Lu Zhi was dismissed, Su Yan knew that this was only temporary. When Yuan Wei and others made suggestions, Emperor Ling of Han would immediately recall him, so he would not stay long.

However, as a famous Confucian scholar in the country, Lu Zhi's influence is very large.

If Su Yan can borrow his influence, his reputation and prestige will be further improved.

He thought for a while and said,"Lu Zhi has returned home now?"

"

Yes."

"Well, prepare some gifts and we'll go visit him.

""Yes!"

Du Ji knew that Su Yan understood what he meant, nodded and went to prepare.

In the afternoon, the two went to the Lu family together.

Although it is a big family in Zhuo County, the Lu family is not arrogant, but acts very low-key.

Su Yan has been in control of Zhuo County for such a long time, and the Lu family has not caused any trouble, which shows that they are not a group of arrogant people.

Although Lu Zhi is the pillar of the family, he has been well educated, and the family tradition of the Lu family is also very clean.

After the two arrived at the Lu family, they knocked on the door of the mansion.

""Creaky!"

The door opened and an old man came out.

"I wonder what the two of you can do for me?"

He looked at Su Yan and asked

"Please inform me that the magistrate of Zhuo County, Su Yan, and the county magistrate, Du Ji, would like to see Lord Lu."

Du Ji said.

The old man looked at the two of them, then bowed and said,"Please wait a moment, I will go and ask the head of the family for instructions."

He turned and walked into the mansion, and soon came out.���

""Excuse me, my lords. The master is waiting for you in the hall. Please come in!"

The old man waved his hand and led Su Yan and Du Ji into the mansion.

After entering, they walked around two corridors and came to a lobby.

Inside the room, an old man in his fifties was sitting in a seat.

He had a lot of white hair on his hair, and he was thin and looked frail.

But he was in good spirits and looked energetic, unlike the average old man who was already old.

Su Yan knew that this was Lu Zhi.

After he and Du Ji went in, they saluted Lu Zhi and said,"Junior Su Yan, meet Master Zigan."

Lu Zhi stood up and said,"County Magistrate Su, please come in!"

Su Yan was the parent official of Zhuo County, and the Lu family was on his territory. There was no reason for Lu Zhi not to see him.

Du Ji handed the gift to the servant, and then Lu Zhi asked someone to bring two braziers and put them in the lobby to drive away the coldness in the house.
