Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 351 Qingzhou Separation of Powers
The fiery imperial palace in Ye City was still under construction, and the air was filled with coolness with the arrival of autumn, and the faces of all the civil and military officials who had just come down to court were heavy.

Just now in the court hall, Lu Bu had asked the emperor for instructions, and in the spring of next year, he would lead an army to conquer Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, on the grounds that he did not respect the Han family and killed Liu Yu, a clan member of the Han family without authorization.

It was the first time that Lu Ying, who was facing civil and military officials, was obviously a little nervous, and followed her father closely.

After being courteous with all the officials for a long time, Lu Bu left slowly under the protection of hundreds of guards, and Lu Yu breathed a sigh of relief along the way.

"Ying'er, how do you feel about the civil and military officials of the court?"

After hearing her father's inquiry while riding a war horse, Lu Yu's face was frozen, and after thinking for a while, she said hesitantly: "Father, there seem to be three factions in the court, one is the father's power, and the other is the emperor's power." Yes, the last one~"

When talking about this, Lu Ying was also a little hesitant, but Lu Bu said with a gratified smile: "The last one is the neutral faction. Most of these grasshoppers have no skills, but they can just stand in the court and pass by."

But when he came to this point, Lu Bu said solemnly: "But it is this neutral faction that you must be most wary of, because you don't know who among them will become your enemy."

Listening to her father's explanation, Lu Yu nodded silently, but looked at her father with some hesitation on her face, and finally couldn't help but whispered: "It seems that all the officials in the court are afraid of father."

hehe~
Hearing his son's question, Lu Bu chuckled twice, waved his hands and sighed, "Ying'er, if you want to stand in the court in the future, you need not only rely on extraordinary skills, but also have awe-inspiring means. .”

Lv Ying, who seemed to understand but half understood, nodded, and Lv Bu sighed helplessly, "It's not that my father's methods are too cruel, but that time waits for no one, and the world is full of heroes, every step is slow, every step is slow, and in troubled times, thunder The method is to intimidate the court, otherwise, when the army attacks Youzhou in the spring of next year, the rear will be unstable."

At this time, Lu Ying seemed to understand a little bit, and thought to herself, no wonder her father wanted to use the black bandit incident to eliminate dissidents in the court to frighten all officials.

Once the army is dispatched next year, if there is trouble in the rear, not only will all previous military achievements be wasted, but the rear will need time to stabilize, which will waste time, and the heroes of the world will not wait for you to stand still.

After Lu Bu went to the court to ask the emperor, the emperor's edict also began to be sent to Youzhou and the world's heroes. After receiving the news, the princes were both happy and angry.

Cao Cao in Yanzhou, who was next to him, laughed when he heard it. He was finally free to deal with Liu Bei's son in Xuzhou, but a fear rose in his heart. Lu Bu's power expanded too fast, and now he has occupied the Bing and Jizhou plus a small half of Qingzhou.

If you occupy Youzhou again, who in the world can fight against it!Not only Cao Cao anxiously felt the crisis, but all the princes of the world felt the threat from the fierce tiger Lu Bu in the north.

Disputes in the world are about to break out, and this time the princes of the world will spare no effort to start a war to compete for territory and expand their power. This is their goal.

As time passed, autumn passed and winter came, and under the snow all over the sky, the flames of war in the world were finally extinguished, and the people began to spend the winter in pain.

The arrival of winter represents the choice between life and death, but in other seasons, the princes fought and the people were displaced, and the people hardly had a day to live a stable life.

Under the flying snow all over the sky, in the general's mansion, the red brazier radiated warmth, and Lu Bugao sat at the head to review the memorials from various places.

With the passage of time, paper has begun to replace the existence of bamboo slips, and most of the memorials from various places have been replaced by paper.

Of course, some military information is still based on bamboo slips. After all, bamboo slips are not easily damaged and easy to preserve, and military situations are always urgent, and they are easily destroyed in wind and rain.

At the same time, subtle changes began. From the decoration of Lu Bu's mansion, it can be clearly seen that the low desk has been replaced by a taller one, and the cushions on which he used to sit on knees have also been replaced by exquisite wooden chairs.

Refined salt and tables are the most obvious representatives.

However, only Lu Bu was qualified to sit in the mansion, and the rest were still kneeling on the cushions, listening to Lu Bu's orders or reporting the government affairs in their hands.

"My lord, Jiangdong has made huge profits in the past few years, especially relying on refined salt, and even Liu Bian is encouraging the folks to give birth while recuperating."

Guo Jia, who is in charge of the school affairs office, saw a potential threat and reported it solemnly.

However, Lu Bu waved his hands indifferently after hearing this, and sighed softly: "Liu Bian already has land in Jiangdong, and his rise is irresistible. I can only hope that this group of princes can resist for a few more days."

"How is Qingzhou recently?"

Listening to Lv Bu's question, Jia Xu knelt on the cushion and stroked the beard of his chin and said softly, "The situation in Qingzhou is chaotic. General Yang has captured half of Qingzhou like a broken bamboo, but the thieves in Qingzhou are hard to put down."

"My lord, Qingzhou is already in my hands, and what I'm waiting for is Youzhou." After hearing the news from all over the place, before Lu Bu could say anything, Chen Gong went out to persuade him in a deep voice.

But Lu Bu chuckled, and nodded with satisfaction after watching the gathering of civil servants under his command, "Yang Lin has captured half of Qingzhou, but in recent days, he has sent letters frequently saying that he is unable to do what he wants."

When he said this, Lu Bu had a relaxed look on his face, but he couldn't hide the smile in the corner of his eyes, but the civil servants below saw another meaning.

This Yang Lin is no longer just a general, he knows how to advance and retreat, and many civil servants even nodded secretly.

After all, Qingzhou was brought down by Yang Lin alone. In troubled times, if this person has a different intention to stand on his own feet, they will be beyond their reach.

And Lu Bu looked around at the eyes of everyone, and everyone knew that this was the right to order people to go to Qingzhou to divide Yang Lin.

But this is also a matter of offending people. For a while, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. In the end, Tian Feng said with a sullen face: "General, I would like to go to Qingzhou."

Gotta see Tian Feng's sullen face, still calling him a general, but Lu Bu looked at him with a headache and nodded.

"The thieves and bandits in Qingzhou are wanton, and Wei Xu and Xu Huang are ordered to lead three thousand troops to escort Yuan Hao to Qingzhou."

promise!
"As for the matter of Qingzhou, Yang Lin is ordered to train the troops first, and recover the entire Qingzhou in one fell swoop after the spring of next year."

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Bu made a decision, but no one felt that something was wrong with the civil servants under his command.

Although Youzhou will be conquered next year, the situation is different. Qingzhou is chaotic and does not have much influence at all.

It seems like fighting on two fronts, but judging from the current situation, there will be no big bumps in the overall situation of recovering Qingzhou. As long as Qingzhou can be recovered in one fell swoop, it will not improve the morale of Lu Bu's subordinates.

From a long-term point of view, it is very beneficial. Now that Xuzhou and Yanzhou are fighting, they just take advantage of the perfect opportunity to win Qingzhou when the neighboring princes are fighting.

Lu Bu ordered Wei Xu and Xu Huang to go, but it was obvious that Yang Lin's military power would be divided. Wei Xu was not only one of the earliest veterans who followed Lu Bu, but also had a relationship with him. Xu Huang was also single-handedly promoted after Lu Bu recovered.

For such a military order, everyone didn't have the slightest meaning, but felt that it should be done.
