New Lubu War

Chapter 237
early morning.

Outside the city of Xudu.

The two riders came slowly from the south.

It was Lu Bu and Zhuge Liang.

"Kong Ming!"

Looking at Zhuge Liang next to him, Lu Bu said:
"Temporarily be a clerk by my side, and when the world is unified, I will preside over the wedding for you and Lingqi!"

"General!"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and said weakly:
"Being able to marry Lingqi, Liang Sansheng is very lucky. However, I only want to work in the countryside and have no intention of becoming an official. Please learn from the general!"

"It's okay!"

Lu Bu waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Be the clerk first, if you don't get an official job, we'll talk about it later!"

Zhuge Liang was speechless.

What is the difference between being your clerk and becoming an official?
"Our army will soon go south. At that time, Kong Ming can bring his family to Xudu to avoid being involved in the war!"

Before Zhuge Liang could speak, Lu Bu said again calmly.

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang's heart suddenly tightened.

He didn't think that after the meeting, Lu Bu kept talking nicely to him, so he was really easy to talk to.

For some reason, Lu Bu valued himself so much that he came chasing him alone in the middle of the night, as if he was bound to win.

But this does not mean that I can rebel against him again and again in front of him.

Follow life, rebel die!

Although Lu Bu did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, there is no doubt that he did so.

Zhuge Liang believed in his own judgment.

So, at this time, Lu Bu specifically mentioned his family, what does it mean?
It is not too much to say that Zhuge Liang's mind is exquisite.

Lu Bu said it very implicitly, but he felt it immediately.

Threat!

Thick threat!
Zhuge Liang may not care about himself, but what about his family?
For a while, Zhuge Liang was caught in a dilemma, and his brows were deeply frowned.

In fact, he somewhat misunderstood Lu Bu.

If it were another person, if life and death were not the same, Lu Bu would naturally not be used to it.

But Zhuge Liang...

Aptitude, comprehension, and talent are exactly the same as Lu Bu's in three dimensions. Such a stunning talent, a peerless genius who is also born once in a thousand years, he will never destroy the Great Wall himself.

Everything in this world has long been regarded by Lu Bu as his own.

Including all the heroes of the world!
How can there be any reason to destroy your own things?
Therefore, Lu Bu will not do anything to Zhuge Liang, nor will he do anything to his family.

However, mentioning it makes Zhuge Liang feel nervous, but it doesn't hurt, right?
Zhuge Liang's mind, Lu Bu is actually completely clear.

In his previous life, he was obsessed with the Three Kingdoms for many years, and he read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" over and over again. He knows what kind of person Zhuge Liang is, even better than the current Zhuge Liang himself.

Although he hasn't mixed with Liu Bei yet, he is an idler in the field, so there is no such thing as "loyal ministers do not serve two masters".

But this person is determined to help the Han family, and no one will help except the descendants of Han and Liu.

The [-]-year-old Han Dynasty has a lingering shadow. Although the general situation is gone, there are still people like Zhuge Liang who are loyal to the Han Dynasty.

For example Xun Yu.

The fall of the Shang Dynasty brought out Boyi and Shuqi, two loyalists who would rather starve to death in Shouyang Mountain than eat the food of the Zhou Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty naturally produced people like Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu.

Therefore, although the current Lu Bu is powerful and the unification of the world is imminent, people like Zhuge Liang are still unwilling to assist.

Including Xun Yu, who seemed to be an official in the court, but Lu Bu was sure that when he deposed Han Xiandi, it was the time when this guy resigned from office.

Not to mention him, it was Cao Cao in the original time and space. He hadn't become emperor yet, and he just wanted to be called 'gong', so he parted ways with Xun Yu.

They have more than [-] years of feelings!

From all of these, it can be concluded that if Lu Bu becomes emperor in the future, people like Zhuge Liang and Xun Yu will definitely not be used by him.

Force is useless!
These people pride themselves on being loyal and righteous, and they are not afraid of death. What can they do to others?
But Lu Bu is not worried at all!
the reason is simple.

When the luck dynasty comes out in the future, all the important officials in the court will have the chance to live forever, become gods and become holy.

At that time, no matter Xun Yu or Zhuge Liang, it was impossible not to be indifferent.

Their current beliefs are based on ordinary ideas.

Once the mundane concept is broken, it will happen naturally.

To put it bluntly, the Han Dynasty is orthodox, and what is great is that it inherits the "God's Will", and the king of the Qiyun Dynasty is itself the "God's Will"!
Are the two comparable?
After seeing the world of the heavens and the parallel time and space, the mere mundane loyalty to the Han Dynasty in the past will quickly disintegrate.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu and others don't return their hearts to themselves now, and Lu Bu doesn't care at all.

This is not mentioned.

……

In the early summer of the seventh year of Jian'an, General Lu Bu pacified Liangzhou.

In the midsummer of June, a letter of surrender came to Xudu.

Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, in response to the call for capitulation at the beginning of the year, surrendered to the general.

According to the usual practice, Lu Bu ordered Zhang Lu to come to Xudu in person.

Taking Gongsun Kang of Liaodong as an example, Zhang Lu did not hesitate, and soon came to Xudu to meet Lu Bu.

According to the old rules of Gongsun Kang and Ma Teng, Lu Bu appointed Zhang Lu as the prefect of Hanzhong. Apart from the army, he still dominated the civil affairs.

He also ordered Hao Meng to lead dozens of generals and [-] troops reorganized from the original Cao soldiers to enter Hanzhong, take over the local troops, break up and reorganize.

The nearly twenty years of master-student relationship with the general in the army has been reflected in the past two years.

Hundreds of brave generals who were absolutely loyal to Lu Bu played a great role in occupying and stabilizing the Xinde land.

If the rest of the princes were changed, even if a new land was established, could they arrange so many powerful and loyal confidants to settle in various places in an instant?

That's Lu Bu.

On the occasion of taking over Hanzhong, Lu Bu once again sent a stern appeal to Liu Zhang in Yizhou to persuade him to surrender.

Liu Zhang didn't hold back.

On the one hand, Liu Zhang himself has no great ambitions and is cowardly by nature. On the other hand, none of his subordinates dare to compete with Lu Bu.

Of course, the lessons learned by Cao Cao, Gongsun Kang, Ma Teng, and Zhang Lu also set a great example.

Everyone in the world knows that, besides being invincible in battle, General Lu Bu has always treated those who surrendered preferentially.

At least, without bias!
Taking the surrendered princes as your personal clerk, how many people have done this since ancient times?
Ma Teng surrendered, not only was he safe, but his son and generals were even transferred to his personal guard by Lu Bu!
All these things show that the general has a broad mind, like the sea, which can accommodate hundreds of rivers.

In this case, it is only natural for Liu Zhang to surrender!

So, in the seventh year of Jian'an, at the end of summer, Liu Zhang left Sichuan and went to Xudu to meet the general Lu Bu.

Received the title of prefect of Shu County, in charge of the civil affairs of a county.

Of course, in the [-] counties of Yizhou, Liu Zhang was demoted to the prefect, and the remaining [-] counties had nothing to do with him.

The officials of various counties in various places discussed and arranged with Jia Xu and others, but they did not mention it.

By the end of the year, Hanzhong and Yizhou had been taken over.

In this way, Lu Bu easily obtained Hanzhong and Yizhou without a single soldier, and his territory expanded again.

Of the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, only Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Jiaozhou remained.
