Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 180

Changan.

Since Dong Zhuo worshiped Lu Zhi as Shangshu, he suddenly became clear about the trend of the world.

In terms of personnel deployment, Lu Zhi dismissed Wang Yun as Situ on the grounds that "Situ Wangyun and Lu Bu are both from Bingzhou", and appointed Yang Biao from Hongnong as Situ.

As a result, Lu Zhi was secretly abused by Wang Yun and others, and both Lu Zhi and Cai Yong were included in Dong Zhuo's party.

At the same time, Lu Zhi lobbied Huangfu Song together with Huangfu Jianshou, so that Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo reached an agreement.

As long as Dong Zhuo no longer pollutes the royal family members and hires famous officials to serve as Tai Tuo to teach Liu Xie, Huang Fusong agrees to work for Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo adopted Lu Zhi's suggestion and promoted Jia Xu, a famous official in Liangzhou, to be his grand tutor.

In the early years, Jia Xu was judged Xiaolian as a man. Yan Zhong, a famous official, asserted that Jia Xu had good and fair plans. Jia Xu's ancestor, Jia Yi, studied under Xun Kuang's student Zhang Cang. The Jia family in Liangzhou has also been passed down for hundreds of years.

Huangfusong also knew Jia Xu's talent, so he agreed to work for Dong Zhuo.

In order to protect himself, Jia Xu asked Liu Xie to drive for Dong Zhuo in some way!

Liu Xie even killed the courtiers who spoke out and advised him to show that he had no doubts about Dong Zhuo and his ministers.

If it weren't for Dong Zhuo's self-knowledge, anyone else would have died for Liu Xiexiao.

Since then.

The forces in Chang'an are gradually getting on the right track.

With the efforts of Lu Zhi, Huang Fusong, Yang Biao, Jia Xu, Cai Yong and others, and with the support of Liu Xie, the conflict between Dong Zhuo and the ministers was eased.

Ministers of public affairs need to enjoy the power and status of public officials of the Han Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo also needs ministers of public affairs to govern Guanzhong.

To a certain extent, the people's livelihood and economy in Guanzhong have also recovered.

In terms of military affairs, the Xiliang Army is still the main force.

Although Dong Zhuo relaxed his government affairs, he held his military power very tightly.

"Zigan's plan to mess up the Kanto region has now paid off."

"Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others are now deploying troops along the Yellow River."

"An anti-thief is an anti-thief. Under the banner of King Qin, he acts like a bandit."

On the main seat, Dong Zhuo with a big belly was hugging left and right, holding a gold bottle in his hand, with a fleshy face.

As soon as she grinned, there was a pungent smell of wine, which made the maid in her arms close her eyes tightly, but she didn't dare to complain.

In Chang'an, Liu Xie is the emperor, but he is under one person; Dong Zhuo is a courtier, but he is above ten thousand people.

And in the second seat.

Lu Zhi was sitting upright, although his hair was covered with white hair, it was combed very delicately.

Gently shaking the jade bottle in his hand, Lu Zhi's eyes are wise, and he is also indifferent to the torrent of the world.

"The thieves in the Kanto region are mostly wolf-hearted, and the Yuan family is just trying to gain fame."

"But no matter whether Yuan Shu wins or loses, the situation in Kanto will change accordingly. If someone takes advantage of the opportunity, it will add trouble to the Grand Master."

"It's better for the grand master to send capable generals into Hulao Pass. If Yuan Shu wins, he will attack Yuan Hou's rear; if Yuan Shu loses, he will send troops to rescue him."

"Keep the Kanto situation in a controllable balance, and the Grand Master will be able to strategize and win thousands of miles."

Lu Zhi's strategy made Dong Zhuo couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "Ziqian's ability is better than that of Liuhou in the past!"

"If Yuan Shu loses, Yuan Shao will take advantage of the opportunity; if Yuan Shu wins, he will also take advantage of the opportunity. This will indeed damage the majesty of this Grand Master."

"Zigan thinks, who should be appointed to go to Hulao Pass?"

Lu Zhi slowly recommended: "Huangfu Yizhen! Only Huangfu Yizhen can accurately grasp the timing, and he will never join hands with the Kwantung bandits."

Huangfusong is a staunch royalist, Dong Zhuo is very clear about this.

Dong Zhuo would rather believe that Huangfusong would kill himself with a knife, and he would not believe that Huangfusong would join forces with the Kwantung bandits.

"With Huangfu Yizhen going there, it will definitely be a success." Dong Zhuo stroked his beard: "This Grand Master will order that Huangfu Yizhen, who is in charge of Luoyang, Li Jue, Guo Si, and Xu Rong, wait for the opportunity."

After giving the order, Dong Zhuo asked again: "Ma Teng and Han Sui from Xiliang are self-respecting and disobedient to my grand master. Can Zigan find a way to recruit them for my grand master?"

Lu Zhi said lightly: "If Ma Teng and Han Sui are allowed to stay in Xiliang, there will be hidden dangers no matter how they are appeased. It is better to make Ma Teng the governor of Bingzhou and Han Sui the general of Zhenbei, and order them to send troops to Bingzhou."

"It can not only calm down the Baibo bandit in Xihe County, but also make the people of Bingzhou respect the Grand Master. In the future, they can also drive the two of them to fight against the bandits in the Kanto region. Xiliang will also become stable because of this."

"One kill three birds with one stone, what does the Grand Master think?"

Dong Zhuo drank the fine wine in the golden bottle, carefully considering Lu Zhi's proposal.

Order Ma Teng and Han Sui to send troops to Bingzhou, although as Lu Zhi said, they can kill three birds with one stone, but in turn, Ma Teng and Han Sui may also listen to the instructions and not listen to the announcement after they gain a foothold in Bingzhou.

"Zigan, if Ma Teng and Han Sui established an alliance with Yuan Shao and rebelled, wouldn't they be raising tigers?" Dong Zhuo asked.

Lu Zhi smiled indifferently: "Youzhou Shepherd Liu Yu and Fenwu General Gongsun Zan have always been at odds. If Ma Teng and Han Sui listened to the instructions and refused to listen to the announcement, then he would appoint Gongsun Zan as the general who protects the Xiongnu and governs Yanmen, Yunzhong, and Ding. Xiang, Wuyuan, Shuofang five counties."

"Ma Teng and Han Sui don't have the help of the local forces in Xiliang, and Gongsun Zan is restraining them, how dare they refuse to obey Chang'an's emperor's order?"

Dong Zhuo immediately said happily, "Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Gongsun Zan are all brave men who have fought against the barbarians on the border all year round. When these three tigers arrive in Bingzhou, they will not be able to dominate if they check and balance each other."

"This grand master only needs to obey the emperor's order, and he can drive these three tigers to work."

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

"According to Ziqian's words, this grand master immediately sent someone to proclaim the decree."

"If Ma Teng and Han Sui didn't know what to do, then the Grand Master wouldn't be able to keep them."

Dong Zhuo's tone turned cold again.

If he could recruit, Dong Zhuo would naturally choose the way of recruiting; but if he could not recruit, then Dong Zhuo would not keep Ma Teng and Han Sui.

With Dong Zhuo's current power and Dong Zhuo's influence in Xiliang, it is not difficult to clean up Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Lu Zhi's expression didn't change much.

It's just that I have a new deduction in my mind about the changes in the general trend of the world.

"After Han Sui and Ma Teng were transferred to Bingzhou, the plan of the people in the court who wanted to collude with Ma Teng, Han Sui, and even Liu Yanlaiqin of Yizhou fell through."

"Remove away all those who may disturb Chao Gang, and Dong Zhuo's position in Chang'an will be hard to shake."

"Prince, teacher, and scholar see that they focus on power struggles, but neglect military affairs; if Dong Zhuo is killed, who can restrain the arrogant soldiers of the Xiliang army?"

"If you don't have a strong army in your hands, even if you kill Dong Zhuo, it will only benefit the Kwantung bandits."

"It is easy to kill Dong Zhuo, but it is difficult to pacify the world."

Looking in the direction of Qingzhou, Lu Zhi's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Show conspiracy, in terms of deduction of the general trend, no one in the world can surpass you."

"But this time, can you guess the old man's plan?"

"If you can't guess, it will be difficult for you and Xuande's ambition to come true."

Right Fufeng.

Ma Teng, who received the imperial decree, exclaimed in disbelief: "The grand master wants me to go to Bingzhou?"

Since Dong Zhuo moved west to Chang'an, Ma Teng has been entrenched in the Youfufeng area, but he has not publicly expressed his support for Dong Zhuo.

It's not that Ma Teng wants King Qin to kill Dong, but Ma Teng wants to get something.

Ma Teng was originally a Liangzhou frontier general, but was killed by his subordinate Li Xiangru because of Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou.

Ma Teng, Han Sui, Wang Guo and others who were instigated directly raised their flags to rebel.

From a partial general of the court to a rebel army, from a general who suppressed rebellion to a thief leader who rebelled against the court, how could King Qin have the idea of ​​killing Dong.

In troubled times, there are not many people who really want to help the Han Dynasty in pursuit of profit.

Soon.

Han Sui also took the imperial decree to look for Ma Teng.

"Shoucheng, have you also received the imperial edict? What kind of official will the grand master make you?" Han Sui asked when they met.

Ma Teng handed the imperial decree to Han Sui, and said in a solemn tone, "Inspector of Bingzhou, what about you?"

Han Sui also handed the edict to Ma Teng, saying: "General Zhenbei!"

After a pause, Han Sui's tone became serious: "The grand master wants to transfer us away from Xiliang, and use our power to conquer the forces that disobey the imperial court in Bingzhou."

"The plan of borrowing a knife to kill people is probably a treacherous plan conceived by Shang Shu Lu Zigan!"

Ma Teng was rather apprehensive: "Since Lu Ziqian served for the grand master, the power of the grand master has become stronger and stronger. Even Huangfu Song has chosen to serve for the grand master."

"However, Zuo Zhonglang General Liu Fan and Zhishu Shi Yushi Liu Dan still haven't seen the situation in Chang'an clearly. The current grand master is not something they can shake."

"Brother Wen Yue, should we accept this edict or not?"

Han Sui also felt apprehensive: "Accept, I must! If we stay in Youfufeng all the time, it will be difficult for us to do anything, and those people in the DPRK always want to lure us as foreign aid."

"With the abilities of you and my brother, who can stop Bingzhou?"

"When Bingzhou is settled, Shoucheng, you want a Bingzhou shepherd, and I want a general who conquers the north, can the grand master not give it?"

Thinking of this, Han Sui suddenly had a smile: "Lu Ziqian wanted to drive away tigers and wolves, but he misjudged our brother's ability. Raising tigers may also cause trouble!"

Seeing what Han Sui said, Ma Teng felt a little less worried, and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to Bingzhou now, and I and the family members of the trusted ministers must be taken to Bingzhou to prevent the grand master from threatening us with our family members in the future." .”

Han Sui nodded: "Don't miss this opportunity! Bingzhou will be the place where you and my brothers will rise!"

Regarding Dong Zhuo's appointment, Ma Teng and Han Sui quickly made a decision.

Staying in Youfufeng is dangerous, so it is better to go to Bingzhou to seek development.

"boom--"

The fine wine bottle was smashed to the ground by Wang Yun.

"Lu Zigan, a thief who has brought disaster to the country!"

Knowing that Ma Teng and Han Sui were respectively appointed as governor of Bingzhou and general of Zhengbei, Wang Yun was so angry!
At the beginning, Lu Zhi dismissed Situ from the position of Situ by Dong Zhuo on the grounds that "Situ Wangyun and Lu Bu are both from Bingzhou", Wang Yun was already very angry.

He flattered Dong Zhuo in a low voice, thinking that one day he could set things right and kill Dong Zhuo in one fell swoop.

In the end, Lu Zhi ended the plan with a single sentence.

I thought I could recruit Ma Teng and Han Sui as foreign aid, but the plan was terminated again.

What scares Wang Yun the most is that there are more and more ministers and ministers who sincerely support Dong Zhuo.

If this continues, Dong Zhuo's crime of abolishing the young emperor and killing the young emperor to disrupt the court will gradually be ignored by the ministers of Chang'an as time goes by.

What else are you talking about?

If he can't clear the king's side, then he, Wang Yun, will always exist as a "thief who flatters Dong Zhuo".

After all, Wang Yun became Situ by flattering Dong Zhuo.

"Private servant, the emperor has an oral order."

"speak."

"Take good care of the car."

The eunuch is in charge of the horse, and the "Han Guan Yi" says: The emperor drives out, and the eunuch's imperial chariot takes 81.

Hearing Liu Xie's verbal instructions, Wang Yun couldn't help but sigh.

After being deposed as Situ, Wang Yun wanted to replace Jia Xu as Taifu by virtue of his own reputation, so he secretly wrote to Liu Xie to express his heart.

But at this time, Liu Xie didn't trust Wang Yun at all, and only thought that Wang Yun was here to test him.

"Hmph, the country cannot be destroyed by Lu Ziqian."

Wang Yun was heartbroken, and immediately called his nephew Wang Ling, and whispered in his ear: "A Ling, you go back to Bingzhou quickly, and lobby the scholars in Bingzhou in the name of your uncle."

After carefully explaining the purpose of lobbying, Wang Yun said again: "Remember, as soon as Ma Teng arrives in Bingzhou, you will lead the crowd to join Ma Teng! When the time comes, you can lobby Ma Tengqin King."

Wang Yun snorted secretly: "Lu Zigan, don't think that this old man has no means of countermeasures. In Bingzhou, people still listen to what this old man says."

But what Wang Yun didn't know was that Wang Ling had already been targeted by Lu Zhi's people when he left Chang'an City for Bingzhou.

"Master Wang, Master Wang, you really don't give up."

"It's a pity, you don't understand the real purpose of the old man at all."

Lu Zhi's eyes turned cold, and he wrote a secret letter, informing Dong Zhuo of Wang Yun's sending his nephew Wang Ling to Bingzhou.

Fengqiu City.

While playing with the Chuanguo Yuxi, Yuan Shu enjoyed the sweetness of the honey water.

Even when going on an expedition, Yuan Shu never forgot to enjoy life.

At this moment, Yang Hong came in a hurry.

"General, there are rumors in the army that Xiliang soldiers Li Jue and Guo Si intend to invade."

Yuan Shu's eyes suddenly became gloomy: "Li and Guo, the last time they robbed Yingchuan County, I didn't care about them, and now I dare to come to find the general's annoyance?"

"Let Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Yue divide their troops to resist."

Yang Hong hesitated and said, "These two are Gongsun Zan's confidantes, so they may not be willing to pay attention."

Yuan Shu waved his hand: "It's okay! I didn't trust Gongsun Zan in the first place. If they secretly colluded with Gongsun Zan, wouldn't it be a big deal for me?"

"Send these two people to resist Li Jue and Guo Si, and save the general from being on guard."

Putting the Chuanguo Yuxi into the wooden box, Yuan Shu's eyes became more fierce: "Bai Rao attacked Puyang, how is the battle going?"

Yang Hongdao: "Although Yuan Shao sent Cao Cao to sit in Puyang, but Bai Rao's journey is like breaking a bamboo, and he will arrive in Puyang in two days."

Yuan Shu frowned: "Where's Liu Dai? Didn't show up yet?"

Yang Hong shook his head: "According to the report from the spies, Liu Dai has been in Dongping Kingdom, and it seems that he is not going to help Dongjun."

"For cowardly people, bad things will be a big deal." Yuan Shu was quite upset.

Lead the snake out of the hole, but the snake does not come out.

This made Yuan Shu feel ashamed.

"Send Liu Xiang as the vanguard, immediately stationed in Kuangting, and send spies to inquire about the defense situation in Jiyin County."

"I'm going to lure out Liu Dai, a shrinking turtle!"

The specific deployment and mobilization have always been formulated by Yuan Shu himself.

Even if Yang Hong had a strategy, it was just to seek some general trend. In terms of marching and fighting, Yuan Shu was very confident!
"Cao Aman, don't let this general down, otherwise Bai Rao won't come to beg this general."
