Great Military Division

Chapter 248 Dong Zhuo exclaimed: Establish a new dynasty?King Hongnong is quite courageous!

The sun rises in the east and the morning glow appears, and the Yingshui gurgles to show the green peaks.

Luyuanguan.

Liu Bian came to see Li Min and Cao Cao off in person.

Here are the ships that transported grain and grass before, and they will return to Yingchuan by water, and the speed will be very fast, and they will be able to complete the defense of all key points before Yuan Shu.

Although Liu Bian was only 16 years old, but now he has grown to seven feet and eight inches. Standing in front of Cao Cao, he was more than half a head taller than him, with a look of disdain.

but
On the other hand, Liu Bian had a kind face, with a smile on his face, approachable and approachable, without showing the slightest coercion and arrogance: "Meng De, Gu Ke handed over Yingchuan to you and Junshou Li, please don't let Gu down."

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

Cao Cao patted his chest and assured, "Not to mention that Yuan Shu lost troops all the way and turned back. Now there are only a few thousand troops. Even if there are tens of thousands of troops, as long as there is a general around, Yuan Shu will not dare to covet Yingchuan."

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded affirmatively: "That's why Gu sent you to Yingchuan. Remember, guarding Yingchuan is just the beginning, and the burden on your shoulders is still relatively heavy."

As the hub between Heluo and Nanyang, Yingchuan's geographical location is very important. In addition, Yingchuan is a wedge that Liu Bian wedged into Yuzhou, and Yuan Shu will definitely find a way to pull it out.

at least
In the eyes of experts, Yingchuan might not be at peace for some time in the future. Even if Yuan Shu is temporarily unable to attack, Dong Zhuo, who has regained his strength, will definitely make small moves behind his back.

Cao Cao's headquarters didn't have many troops, and even with Li Min's troops, there were only 8000. The land adjacent to Yingchuan and Runan was a plain, and such troops were not enough for defense at all.

Cao Cao naturally understood Liu Bian's meaning, and nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, Your Highness, you will eventually understand."

Liu Bian's eyes turned to Li Min, and he smiled lightly: "Mr. Li, are you satisfied with the captain who is assigned to you by Gu?"

Li Mincheng was frightened and hurriedly bowed: "His Royal Highness, you are really a little inferior to let a man of two thousand shi be the captain, but I will tell you the truth."

"I'm here."

Speaking of this, Li Min smiled lightly and covered his heart: "It's much more at ease."

Liu Bian reminded again: "I will say a few words in the end, Yingchuan is very important and must not be lost. The two of you should unite sincerely and cooperate with each other to protect Yingchuan together."

Li Min and Cao Cao cupped their hands: "Here."

Liu Bian let out a long sigh: "Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell! It's getting late, you two, please board the boat."

The two responded: "here."

Immediately.

Turn around and go straight to the merchant ship.

Liu Bian stood by the Yingshui River and watched him leave.

When the merchant ship slowly left.

on the deck.

Li Min let out a long breath, and said softly: "Meng De, Your Highness has high hopes for you, and your future is boundless."

Cao Cao sighed: "Where, the more your Highness is like this, the more pressure you will feel on this general. The junction of Yingchuan and Runan is a plain, how can we defend against it!"

"Don't worry about it too much."

Li Min took a deep breath and turned his head to look at Cao Cao: "When Yuan Shu led his troops into Heluo, he must return to Yingchuan from the direction of Daguguan. There must be no such thing as annihilation of Guoguo. You have to pay more attention to this matter."

"Don't worry, Sheriff."

Cao Cao bowed respectfully and said, "This matter will be considered at the end of the day, and Yuan Shu will not dare to act rashly. If his villainous heart is not dead and he makes a big move, His Highness has a clear order to destroy this person."

Li Min looked at Cao Cao with great interest: "Seeing that you are so confident, Li feels at ease. I will hand over the entire team to you, and I will be in charge of the logistics. We will cooperate very well. Don't let His Highness down."

Cao Cao cupped his hands: "I will stick to what I want, but I dare not ask you."

Actually.

Li Min didn't know that his position as prefect was also his starting point in the new dynasty. If he did well, King Hongnong could see that it was almost inevitable that he would become the center of the court in the future.

After all, once the new dynasty is established, there will be a shortage of officials. How can the newcomers be as loyal as the old ones, not to mention that I have always supported King Hongnong from the very beginning.

Among the princes today, apart from King Chen and Liu Chong, the person King Hongnong trusts the most is himself. As for people like Xu Yan, Bao Xin, and Cao Cao, King Hongnong's closeness is actually to win him over.

Li Min understands, so she is not jealous.

Cao Cao was even more fortunate to meet a discerning person, and he could let go of his hands and feet.

Send the two away.

Liu Bian was on his way back to Luoyang.

"Report—!"

In front of him, Yiqi Juechen came, and he regarded him as his own messenger.

When he came forward, Liu Bian waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to be polite, and interrupted in advance: "But Wen Ruo has news?"

The messenger clasped his hands and clasped his fists: "Exactly! The military commander ordered the villain to tell His Highness that Yan Xiang left the barracks, but Xu Que did not follow, let alone take Li Quan, Chen Dao and others away. Your Highness can rest assured."

Expected.

Liu Bian was not surprised, his expression was as usual: "Well, let's go back to Luoyang."

As he rode his horse and walked slowly, he communicated with the Military Division Alliance relying on his heart: "Teacher, have you sorted out the relationship between the Kong family?"

The voice of the military division alliance followed: "The context map has been completed, and experts are conducting heated discussions. However, due to the lack of historical materials, the current controversy is relatively large."

"But Master Bian, don't worry, the experts' thinking must be comprehensive, and the plan they come up with must be a comprehensive plan with strategies and countermeasures."

"kindness."

Liu Bian nodded: "This point, I definitely trust the experts."

The Military Division Alliance followed up and said, "I'm secretly telling you that the suppression of the Nanyang gentry this time should not be small, and the scope of involvement should be relatively wide. It can be regarded as a relatively thorough rectification."

"Oh?"

Liu Bian couldn't help being curious: "What about the Deng family? Will it be implicated too? They support it sincerely. Experts don't want to attack the Deng family, right?"

The Military Division Alliance continued: "Master Bian must not have the benevolence of a woman, let alone simply define the Deng family as absolute loyal ministers. The reason why they invest all their energy in Lord Bian is to grab profits."

"Especially at present, once Master Bian returns to Nanyang, he will definitely return to the palace and reascend the throne. At this time, the organizational structure of the entire imperial court is empty, and talents are urgently needed to fill it."

"If the Deng family tried everything possible to put people into the new dynasty, but these people are not strong, are you going to force them into the new dynasty because of love, Mr. Bian?"

"It's right to be merciful to the Deng family, but we must consider the scale and not let him have unreasonable thoughts. This requires the strategy of suppressing and wooing to the extreme."

"Once the greedy family has the slightest possibility, they will see the needles. The more tolerant you are to him, the more he will push forward. The Deng family has credit for supporting Master Bian, but this cannot be a reason to indulge him."

"Especially now"

The Military Alliance emphasized: "The entire Nanyang family must be guided by the Deng family. Your attitude towards the Deng family, Lord Bian, will directly determine the attitude of the future family towards you."

"The current main strategy of the experts is to hit the Deng family without damaging its foundation. It can establish its prestige without causing the Nanyang family to have unreasonable thoughts."

Uh.
Liu Bian's brain was about to explode.

Sure enough, this emperor is not easy to be.

There are too many issues to consider, and too many relationships to deal with.

It is necessary not only to overcome the shortcomings of one's own human nature, but also to be good at dealing with various difficulties.

If it weren't for the help of the Military Division Alliance, Liu Bian felt that he would have to be played to death by aristocratic families. Sure enough, not everyone can wear this time travel. Without some strong golden fingers, he really wouldn't be able to survive.

"fainted."

Liu Bian's mind is a mess right now.

He took a deep breath and thought: "Teacher, let me tell you after the expert has the result. After I go back, I will read the family tree of the Confucius family carefully so that I can understand the expert's strategy."

"kindness."

The Military Advisors Alliance said softly: "It's the best that Master Bian can think so."

Liu Bian nodded: "Although I feel that I have made great progress, it seems that I am only limited to the ancient military field at present. As for the machinations of the superiors, they are far behind."

The Military Division Alliance smiled lightly: "Don't worry, take your time."

Liu Bian had no choice but to say, "Well, that's the only way to go."

*****
Shan County, the county government.

call-

Dong Zhuo, who was sitting at the top, let out a sigh of relief, and immediately turned to look at Li Ru: "Wen You, you guessed right, we not only won this battle, but also broke the morale of the Kanto princes."

"Look."

Dong Zhuo handed the battle report to Li Ru: "It was sent from the direction of Mianchi. The princes of the Kanto have retreated. It's not as simple as retreating five or ten miles, but leaving Mianchi completely and retreating to Luoyang."

"Ha ha!"

Dong Zhuo looked up to the sky and laughed wildly: "These guys actually want to kill me, Dong Zhuo? It's just wishful thinking!"

Li Ruqiang smiled happily: "Congratulations, Prime Minister."

"kindness?"

Dong Zhuo sensed something was wrong, frowned and looked at Li Ru: "Wen You, what's your expression?"

Li Ru hurriedly bowed: "Prime Minister, Ru has no other meaning, but the crisis in Mianchi has been resolved, but the price is too high."

Dong Zhuo sighed: "With less than a thousand cavalry, I defeated Yuan Shao and thousands of soldiers. They should be the ones who paid the most, right?"

"This"

Li Ru knew that Dong Zhuo would be wrong, and slowly shook his head: "It's not them."

Dong Zhuo frowned and asked, "If it's not them, then who is it?"

Li Ruyi said: "Prime Minister, before we left Luoyang, we only gave Lu Bu and Li Jue food and grass for ten days, but now the ten days have passed, but there is no news of them, and Hongnong Wang personally sits in Luoyang."

"Confucianism is afraid."

Although the words were not finished, Dong Zhuo's face changed greatly: "Wen You means that Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si will be beheaded by King Hongnong?"

Li Ru's throat rolled: "Lv Bu is brave and invincible, and he has Li Jue and Guo Si to assist him, maybe he won't die in battle, but if he can come back, it's just a lucky escape."

"Come on."

"Prime Minister."

Before Dong Zhuo could greet him, Li Ru had already interrupted: "Ru has sent people to Luoyang for reconnaissance, I believe there will be an answer soon, King Hongnong has not moved for so long, maybe Lu Bu and Li Jue have not died in battle, it is not certain."

How could Dong Zhuo not know that in Li Ru's words, there were [-]% relief and [-]% speculation, and there was a bad end between the lines. Perhaps in Li Ru's heart, Lu Bu and Li Jue had already been sentenced to death.

but
Dong Zhuo still took chances.

After all, those are Li Jue and Lu Bu!

All are brave generals who are good at fighting, and there are [-] soldiers and horses.

Even if there is no food and grass, you can survive for ten days and a half months by killing horses to satisfy your hunger, right?

At this moment, Dong Zhuo even wanted to lead his troops to Luoyang to rescue the trapped Lu Bu and Li Jue.

of course!

He is very clear.

Having been killed many times, I no longer have enough strength to deal with King Hongnong. Now I can only hope that Lu Bu and Li Jue can break out of the siege of King Hongnong.

"Wenyou."

Dong Zhuo said worriedly: "How many people have you sent? Do you need to send some more?"

Li Ruyi said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, there should be enough people, it's just to investigate the news, and there should be an answer soon."

"Report—!"

At this moment, a long announcement sounded outside the hall.

Dong Zhuo hurriedly looked around.

But seeing, General Niu Fu hurried up to the hall, his expression extremely flustered: "Yue Zhang, something is wrong, something happened to Luo Yang."

Dong Zhuoteng got up and subconsciously asked, "But Li Jue and Lu Bu were defeated?"

Niu Fu nodded: "According to reliable information, Lu Bu was captured alive at the foot of Mount Mang and took refuge with King Hongnong, while Li Jue and Guo Si died tragically on the Gumen Bridge, and the entire army was wiped out."

"what?"

Dong Zhuo's heart was shocked, and he was stunned like a thunderbolt: "How is this possible? Lu Bu is brave and invincible, how could he be captured alive? Since he was defeated at the foot of Mang Mountain, why did Li Jue and Guo Si die tragically in the valley?" Gate Bridge?"

Dong Zhuo, who had experienced many battles, was keenly aware of the abnormality.

Although he didn't stay in Luoyang for a long time, he still has a good understanding of Luoyang's topographical conditions.

The places where Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si had accidents are so different, there must be an unknown process.

"Yuezhang!"

Niu Fu took a deep breath, trying to stay as calm as possible.

However, his expression still betrayed him, with a faint panic floating on his face: "You may not believe it, according to the intelligence, Lv Bu led his troops to break through, and when the whole army was crossing the bridge, the Xiamen Bridge collapsed mysteriously, turning the tide of the battle in one fell swoop. "

"what?"

Dong Zhuo really couldn't believe it, he stared at Niu Fu in astonishment, "Xiamen Bridge collapsed mysteriously? My Xiliang Xiao rode across Luoyang's bridge no less than a hundred times, and it never collapsed. How could it collapse mysteriously at this time? "

"This"

Niu Fu looked worried, took a long breath, and finally told the truth: "According to the news from the scouts, King Hongnong was blessed by God, and it was God who helped King Hongnong break the bridge, thus turning the tide of the battle."

"Bullshit!"

How could Dong Zhuo believe such nonsense, he immediately waved his hand and shouted: "If King Hongnong is really blessed by the heavens, how can he become a deposed emperor?"

"now he"

Speaking of this, Dong Zhuo's voice stopped abruptly.

Have to admit.

As far as the current situation is concerned, King Hongnong has the absolute upper hand, and he was able to escape from Luoyang, and he has become the one who is down and out.

"Yue Zhang."

But Niu Fu, who was not open-eyed, gave Dong Zhuo a fatal blow at this critical moment: "It is said that King Hongnong discovered the Jade Seal of Chuanguo at the south gate of Luoyang when he was cleaning the battlefield after the war."

"The Jade Seal of Chuanguo?"

At this moment, Dong Zhuo was shocked!
Li Ru was even more shocked!

Both of them were dumbfounded, poking there like half a piece of wood, speechless for a long time.

Niu Fu was taken aback, and nodded after a long time: "Well, it should be true. According to the intelligence, King Hongnong led all the civil and military men to pay homage to the ancestors at Mang Mountain, and thanked them for bestowing the Jade Seal of Chuanguo."

hiss-!
Both of them gasped in shock.

No one knows better than them what the combination of "Chuan Guo Yuxi + Hongnong Wang" means.

Once King Hongnong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Nanyang based on this, the value of the Chenliu King Association in their hands would inevitably be greatly reduced.

King Hongnong can take this opportunity to recruit capable ministers and generals, and in a short period of time, form a huge force to crush the Chang'an court in a devastating manner.

What's more terrible.
Even if Dong Zhuo was aware of the danger, it would be impossible for him to fight back based on his current ability alone, not to mention that Lu Bu, Li Jue, and Guo Si had already lost, and the entire Heluo area was dominated by King Hongnong.

"Damn!"

Dong Zhuo secretly chewed, his face was full of flesh, and he kept twitching.

He tried hard to think about countermeasures, but he had no clue, so he could only turn to Li Ru for help: "Wenyou, what should we do?"

Although Li Ru was equally horrified, he seemed relatively calm: "Prime Minister, don't worry, things may not be as bad as we imagined, and let Ru think about it."

Dong Zhuo nodded quickly: "Think about it! Think about it carefully! You must come up with a countermeasure."

Li Ru calmed down, frowned and pondered for a long time, then turned to look at Niu Fu: "General, do you know when Lu Bu and Li Jue will be defeated?"

Niu Fu blurted out without hesitation: "It should be before the prime minister attacked."

"Oh?"

Li Ru's eyes brightened, as if he had gotten to the point: "Really?"

Niu Fu nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it must be so."

call-

Li Ru secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Prime Minister, don't worry, King Hongnong will definitely not come in a short time, we still have room for maneuver."

Dong Zhuo was puzzled, and tentatively asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's simple."

Li Ru said confidently: "King Hongnong has already defeated Lu Bu and Li Jue, but he has been standing still. Combined with the fact that he did not pursue and kill the prime minister before."

"Confucian thought"

Speaking of this, Li Ru bowed calmly: "King Hongnong will not attack the prime minister again in a short time, but will let the prime minister sit in Guanzhong and establish a new dynasty by himself."

"Oh?"

Dong Zhuo was puzzled: "Is this possible?"

Li Ru affirmed, "It's very possible."

"Is King Hongnong stupid? Why didn't he take advantage of the victory to pursue him? If I were King Hongnong, I would surely march westward to Hangu with the master of victory."

"Prime Minister."

Li Ru was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

If he said that King Hongnong's move was wise, wouldn't he be calling Dong Zhuo a fool?
But if he followed Dong Zhuo's train of thought, wouldn't he be calling himself an idiot?
"This"

Li Ru paused for a moment, feeling that it would be better to explain clearly: "On the surface, King Hongnong's move is indeed a stupid move to let the tiger go back to the mountain, but from the point of view of Ru, there is reason."

Dong Zhuo was even more puzzled: "What do you mean by Wen You, let me explain in detail."

Li Ru said softly: "Prime Minister, just think about it. If you settle in Luoyang with the power of thunder, you will be restrained by the Luoyang nobles, especially the Yuan family of four generations and three princes. They are always against the prime minister openly and secretly."

"If you are like this, Prime Minister, how about King Hongnong?"

"Confucian thought"

Li Ru bowed his hands and said with absolute certainty: "The reason why King Hongnong didn't go west is because he didn't want to take over the gentry courtiers in Chang'an. He wants to establish a new dynasty to replace it, and build the universe based on it!"

"Makes sense."

Dong Zhuo stared at his eyes as big as cow eggs, and nodded slowly: "Even I, Dong Zhuo, can't do anything with this family, let alone that boy Hongnong, what's the use of killing me? He just took over a group of noble families. Just courtiers."

"Humph!"

Dong Zhuo snorted softly, and his hanging heart finally relaxed: "Unexpectedly, King Hongnong is quite courageous, and he actually wants to establish a new dynasty and build a great man!"

hiss-!
Dong Zhuo took a sharp breath, and said from the bottom of his heart, "Wen You, don't tell me, I, Dong Zhuo, admire him a little bit. I was blind at the beginning and thought that Liu Xie had the power of an emperor."

Li Ru was even more amazed. No one knew better than him how frivolous Liu Bian was back then, but now, the other party has grown into a real king.

Hard to do.
Was King Hongnong really blessed by God?
At this moment, even Li Ru couldn't help but praise: "It's not just the prime minister, Ru also deeply admires this move."

Dong Zhuo was completely at ease: "Wen You, although King Hongnong doesn't intend to attack Chang'an, how can we sit still and wait for death? Is there any way you can restrict its development, and then fight decisively with it when its true strength recovers."

"This"

Li Ru took a deep breath and thought for a long time: "There is a way, but I don't know how effective it will be."

How could Dong Zhuo care so much, he waved his hand immediately: "As much effect as it can be, in short, I, Dong Zhuo, must avenge the defeat of Luoyang."

"Prime Minister."

Li Ruyi bowed and said loudly: "Although the gentry in Chang'an City are a burden, as long as they are used properly, they can also play a huge role."

"Nowadays, it is the confrontation between the Northern and Southern Han, the struggle between the old and the new dynasties. For the major noble families, it is an opportunity to re-select their teams."

"Although King Hongnong's new dynasty has a jade seal and claims to be orthodox, it is just a broken stone. It is far better than real benefits, and it is even more crazy."

Dong Zhuo frowned: "Oh? What does Wen You mean?"

"Simple!"

Li Ru bowed and said: "The Prime Minister, by His Majesty's order, promoted Yuan Shu to be the shepherd of Yuzhou, dismissed Li Min as prefect of Yingchuan, deposed Liu Chong as King Chen, changed Chen to Chenjun, and at the same time worshiped Ji Ling and Zhang Xun as prefects of Yingchuan and Chenjun. "

"In this way, Yuzhou will inevitably be in chaos. Yuan Shu will definitely send people to conquer Yingchuan and Chen Jun. If he wins, King Hongnong will lose his help. If he doesn't win, the prime minister will just send someone else."

"but."

Li Ru was full of confidence, and said sonorously: "Yuzhou is the foundation of Yuan Shu, and it is backed by the Yuan family from Runan. The soldiers, horses, money and food are inexhaustible. Li Min and Liu Chong are definitely hard to resist."

"As for King Hongnong's Nanyang?"

Li Ru paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "He suppressed the gentry, so we will win him over and promise him huge profits to stir up civil uprisings as much as possible. Even if King Hongnong can't be destroyed, he should be ordered to chaos himself."

Dong Zhuo's eyes brightened, and he grinned sinisterly: "Haha! Wen You's plan is very suitable for me. We can kill King Hongnong himself without using swords."
