Chapter 687 Dong Zhuo's subordinates robbed?
Liu Yu felt that if Liu Bei was really optimistic about Dong Zhuo and wanted to push him to a higher level, he would not let him act in a low-key manner.

Not to mention allowing him to come to Luoyang swaggeringly with the army.

Doesn't this push him to the forefront?
Or does Liu Bei have other ideas?

Liu Yu knew very well that Liu Bei was not only good at fighting, but also very powerful in politics.

So what is Liu Bei's attitude towards Dong Zhuo?
What is the purpose of calling this former official of the Yuan family and the famous old man Fengxian to Luoyang to be one of the nine ministers?

Liu Yu felt that there was a deep meaning here.

But Liu Yu quickly realized - what does this have to do with him?

He came to Luoyang to fulfill his dream, to take the position that should be the most uncontested.

To achieve that position, he only needs to be aloof and detached from the world, and he doesn't care about anything else.

He knew that Liu Bei had great power, he knew that Luoyang was Liu Bei's private land, and he knew that Liu Bei was the actual ruler of the Han Empire.

But so what?
He doesn't care.

As long as the world is still dominated by the great man, what does it matter?

Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han family, a person recognized by the Empress Dowager Dong, and a person recognized by the first emperor, and his name is justified.

That's it.

When Liu Yu came back this time, he wanted to be a god, he would not eat the fireworks of the world, and he would not have anything to do with these dirty things in the world, so as not to stain his feathers with these dirty things.

The so-called strength without desire, Liu Yu believes that as long as he does not fight for anything, no one can defeat him, and he is the strongest person.

So when Dong Zhuo stopped to go to Luoyang City, Liu Yu had already quietly entered Luoyang City, and then went to the General's Mansion to meet Liu Bei.

When he saw Liu Bei, Liu Bei was dealing with business, and he was a little surprised to learn that Liu Yu had arrived.

"You are here, why didn't you find someone to inform me? I will go to greet you in person instead of letting you come to my house. You are the elder of the clan, I am too rude."

Liu Yu chuckled.

"What's the point of worrying about a little thing? Yu is not a very important person, he is just a mediocre person with a dead body. This time I came to Luoyang to be a mediocre person among the mediocre people. I don't need you who really handle things. Is the general coming to see you?"

Liu Yu held Liu Bei's hand, with a deep smile on his face.

Liu Bei just smiled and didn't say anything else. He talked with Liu Yu about the things along the way and what he had seen and heard in Qingzhou. While chatting, Guo Jia came in to deliver news to Liu Bei.

"General, there are..."

"what happened?"

Liu Bei looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia glanced at Liu Yu.

Liu Yu understood, and was about to get up and say goodbye.

"The general has important matters to deal with, so Yu resigned, and we can talk about it another day."

But Liu Bei stretched out his hand to signal Liu Yu not to get up.

"Situ Gong is not an outsider, but an elder of the clan. If you have anything to do, just say it, and don't avoid it."

Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and sat down peacefully without saying anything.

Guo Jia nodded and told Liu Bei what happened outside the city.

Then Liu Bei was stunned.

"Dong Zhuo's subordinates robbed? And beat people?"

"Yes, after Dong Zhuo's army arrived outside the city, they were not far away from the residential areas outside the city. Some soldiers under Dong Zhuo's command saw that the residents outside the city were quite rich, so they went to plunder. The soldiers of the county were patrolling and stopped them, but Dong Zhuo's soldiers didn't accept it, and fought with the soldiers of the county, wounding many people."

"Is there anyone dead? Are there many injured?"

"No one was killed, but there were quite a few injured. The county soldiers injured three, and a family that was robbed before, a man, a woman and a child. They were going to set up a stall in the city to sell some mustard cakes, but they were robbed. I don’t want to, I argued with those soldiers, and then I was beaten. Fortunately, the soldiers of the county are nearby, otherwise it would be hard to say.”

Guo Jia had an angry look on his face: "Now this matter has spread outside the city, and some people in the city also know about it, and they are all talking about Dong Zhuo's matter. I am very worried that this matter will turn from a small matter into a big one. Would you like to intervene immediately?"

What Guo Jia said was correct.

The army outside Luoyang City has been controlled by Liu Bei since several years ago, and the military discipline is very good. It is customary to do nothing against the residents outside Luoyang City, and the two sides maintain a good distance.

In the middle of this year, after the county soldiers were added to patrol law and order, the crime regulations were also added. Private fighting is not allowed, and you need to ask the county soldiers to deal with it. No matter whether you fight in private, you have to take it back for interrogation. I have to be locked up for a few days to reflect on myself.

So soon, the law and order inside and outside Luoyang City became better. It has been a long time since I heard of a beating incident, but suddenly such a thing happened.

Although the matter is not big, it has a great impact, and if it is not done well, it will cause some political incidents.

The subordinates of the newly appointed Da Honglu robbed and beat people, and even had conflicts with the soldiers of the county, and directly had conflicts with the newly established powerful department, Zhongshutai. If this matter broke out, Dong Zhuo's future would be difficult up.

It's purely Dong Zhuo's problem, but the key point is that Dong Zhuo was recommended by Liu Bei to be Da Honglu, but anyone who asks people to diverge their thinking can use this to attack Liu Bei's ignorance of people, which is similar to what happened with Gongsun Zan back then.

Although this matter was much minor compared to Gongsun Zan's matter, and could even be regarded as a contradiction within Liu Bei's group, some people were stunned and wanted to diverge their thinking in that direction.

That would not be beautiful.

"Ugh……"

In front of Liu Yu, Liu Bei showed a wry smile.

"Let Mr. Situ see the joke."

"No, it's not important, the important thing is, how do you plan to deal with this matter?"

Liu Yu said in a low voice: "This matter can't be handled well, it should be quite troublesome, and... I just arrived in Luoyang not long ago, and I saw Dong Zhuo bringing a lot of people to Luoyang. At that time, the people around me Some friends are talking about Dong Zhuo's fault, and they all think that Dong Zhuo did something wrong.

It can be said that from the very beginning, Dong Zhuo was not popular, and now that something like this has happened, there should be more people who want to take this opportunity to attack Dong Zhuo. You should make a decision as soon as possible to prevent things from becoming serious. "

"Indeed."

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, looked at Guo Jia, and said, "Feng Xiao, go to Bo Ning immediately and ask him to go out in person and lead the county soldiers to arrest the criminals in Dong Zhuo's army and punish them. The criminals are under control, and then I will talk to Dong Zhuo about this matter, and let Dong Zhuo solve it himself."

"only!"

Guo Jia nodded and went to work immediately.

Liu Yu looked at Liu Bei and realized that Liu Bei was going to protect Dong Zhuo.

Of course, he thought it was right.

Liu Bei should indeed protect Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was recommended by Liu Bei. When many people in the court objected, Liu Bei also strongly recommended him to come to Luoyang. Now that something happened, Liu Bei could not protect him. It is easy to remind people of Gongsun Zan.

Although Gongsun Zan did something wrong, Liu Bei's refusal to protect Gongsun Zan and allow him to be killed did arouse criticism from a small number of people.

Some people said that Liu Bei didn't handle the matter of Gongsun Zan very well, and he didn't show up during the whole process. Although it was necessary to avoid suspicion, he couldn't do nothing.

Over the years, he had heard many times in Qingzhou that Liu Bei had a good reputation as a leader for his subordinates, and he felt that it might have something to do with the negative impact of Gongsun Zan on Liu Bei.
