The first general of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 382

"Actually, His Majesty's will is all about wasting money. I heard that Zhou Dudu was plotted by His Majesty before, and that's all the gist of it!"

Lu Xun was overjoyed, so he opened his mouth and said.

"I also know what Gongjin means. I even know that Gongjin has me. Now that I am the emperor, I can't be cleared easily. But it's a pity that Gongjin doesn't know my heart! Although I am the emperor, I am also the founder of the country. How can this matter of expanding the frontier and expanding the land be less?"

Wei Tao sighed slightly, in fact he knew about this, but in fact he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, which was not what he had thought at the beginning.

Of course, Wei Tao is the founder of the country with a very high prestige, and he really leads the army in person. Under his prestige, although some people may think otherwise, they will not oppose it openly after all.

When Lu Xun heard Wei Tao's words, he could understand the meaning of Wei Tao's words with his wisdom, but even Zhou Yu couldn't persuade him, so Lu Xun would not do anything, as if he hadn't understood. Straightforward.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember what Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao did after they came to the throne?"

"Dong Zhuo? Yuan Shao?"

Wei Tao frowned slightly and didn't know why Lu Xun mentioned the two, but he still tried his best to think about the reason, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure it out.

"What is Bo Yan talking about?"

"In the past, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others either controlled the emperor or established themselves as emperors, but they all once sealed the world with the intention of messing up the government. Not to mention the others, what Dong Zhuo did back then was to make The whole world is begging Dong Lianjun for the purpose of dispersing, and they will not join forces."

Lu Xun smiled slowly, just talking, but Wei Tao was a little puzzled, did he want to let himself do this?

"Your Majesty's method of transforming Shu lies in this. One is to say that the people of Shu rule Shu, and the other is to divide the ministers of Shu so that they will not fight and chaos. Then Liu Bei is benevolent, can he make all the ministers of Shu selfless? As long as Does His Majesty promulgate the decree, so there is no one who is moved by it?"

Hearing Lu Xun's method, Wei Tao couldn't help squinting his eyes slightly, considering the feasibility of it, and asked after a long time.

"So feasible?"

"Your Majesty, if you only have two or three prefectures like this, it is naturally not feasible, but now that your majesty is already [-]% to [-]% likely to unify the world, the people in Sichuan will naturally not fail to see this. Some people want to take a gamble. As long as the interior is not suitable for His Majesty, you can take advantage of it."

Lu Xun smiled slightly, but when he saw Wei Tao, he still frowned and spoke slowly.

"This is actually the reason why your majesty has achieved great power! In the past, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu were not strong enough, which eventually became an excuse for the princes, but now that your majesty has achieved great power, it has naturally become what everyone yearns for. Even if your majesty is afraid that the tail will not be lost, when the time comes, a decree will be cut, and the lord has already ruled the world, so why be afraid of the little family in Shuzhong?"

"Haha... If I cut off their official positions so easily, I am afraid that the nobles in the world will regard me as a tyrant!"

Wei Tao burst out laughing at the moment, it is naturally impossible to do this in the actual process, but as Lu Xun said, when the time comes, although it is impossible to cut to the end, it is naturally not difficult to cut slowly under one will.

As for whether this plan can be accomplished, in fact, since Lu Xun said it, Wei Tao has understood that it must be done.

The aristocratic family's strategy of scoring baskets has been used again and again. With one's own plan, people in the family can choose themselves to see if they have a chance to unify the world. At the same time, they can also let people continue to support Liu Bei to maintain the current situation. privilege.

Even if Liu Bei did know at that time, it is impossible to do anything to them without clear evidence. How could they not do such a cheap thing?
As soon as this strategy comes out, it is already possible to divide the middle of Shu. Even better, once those people accept the official positions of the Liang Dynasty, it is actually a sign that they have separated from the Liu family and joined their own dynasty. Isn't it true that these people can be surrendered directly, as the saying goes, they kill many birds with one stone, but that's all.

"Bo Yan's strategy is wonderful!"

After thinking clearly, Wei Tao couldn't help admiring loudly, which was extremely beneficial to him.

"If you can take Xichuan, Bo Yan will be the first! I will immediately order to seal off the officials in the middle of Shu. Well, even the officials under Cao Cao's command can do the same, but although Cao Cao is not as strong as me, he is still in power. Under the status of the Liu family's big man, there is still a chance to compete for the world, and there may be those who are motivated, but it is not necessarily true if there are truly actioners."

Wei Tao was ready to act in accordance with the law, but thinking carefully that Cao Cao is not Liu Bei after all, maybe there will be some effect, but it is impossible to have that kind of differentiation effect.

"Your Majesty, even so, when Cao Cao is put down in the future, as long as he can defeat Cao Cao, he may still be able to be somewhat effective. As long as he can make the battle go smoothly, why not give it a try?"

Lu Xun suggested with a smile.

Wei Tao just smiled back at this, and then began to think about the official position to be announced.

Such an official position is used as a bait, but Wei Tao understands that it is impossible to be too closed.

You must know that at this time, Wei Tao has established a new dynasty and absolutely has no intention of destroying his credibility. In other words, if he is appointed as a general, and the other party accepts, Wei Tao can only accept it helplessly.

Of course, if this is the case, even if that person came to vote, Wei Tao could only find an excuse to kill him later, so the reputation of Wei Tao's dynasty would definitely be greatly reduced.

Therefore, Wei Tao, who is too high an official position, cannot be sealed, and the other party will not be so stupid to believe it, it will only make people feel ridiculous.

Moreover, if Wei Tao really dared to do this and let someone with no qualifications take up a high position, then Wei Tao's subordinates would be dissatisfied.

After all, it is hard for anyone to accept Wei Tao's hard work in fighting the world, which is not as high as the other party's official position.

In this way, Wei Tao naturally has to seal out the corresponding official position according to his ability, at least to consider the other party's prestige, qualifications, ability and so on.

In the end, most of the official positions that Wei Tao actually conferred were equivalent to those of those people themselves, and most of them were conferred in Xichuan.

It doesn't seem like much of a temptation.

In fact, what Wei Tao gave is that he is the most likely prince to unify the world. In comparison, Cao Cao is inferior, let alone Liu Bei.

At the same time, Wei Tao also released a credit, that is, drawing the topographic map of Xichuan, no matter how much it is, as long as it is drawn, it is meritorious. Wei Tao just doesn't believe it, and everyone will not be tempted.

With Wei Tao's current power, once a decision is made, the implementation is always very fast.

Needless to say, Cao Cao's side was basically kicked out directly, and a few who took over either changed hands or reported to Cao Cao, which was of no use at all.

But Liu Bei's side is different. Although Wei Tao issued the edict almost openly, most of the aristocratic families just listened silently, and then sent people out respectfully. They didn't say yes, but they also didn't say no. .

Aristocratic families are often accustomed to scoring baskets. Even if there is a temporary decline and a mistake, there are enough opportunities to recover.

The land of Shu is closed, and the noble families here are used to being self-proclaimed. They haven't done many such things before, but this doesn't mean that these noble families won't do it.

What's more, for these aristocratic families, even if they don't do this, they still need the minimum respect and etiquette, and they always have to leave a way out for themselves.

For a while, it was difficult to distinguish between friends and foes in the land of Shu, and Liu Bei was troubled by this.

This is a conspiracy.
In fact, such a conspiracy is really embarrassing. No matter what, it is impossible for Liu Bei to disregard the ideas of the aristocratic family, and he can only try to win him over.

But just as Wei Tao thought, Wei Tao's biggest advantage is that he is the person most likely to unify the world in this world. No matter what Liu Bei is, it is difficult to compare with Wei Tao.

What's more, just as it was impossible for Wei Tao to arbitrarily appoint an official to make people lose their morality, it is also impossible for Liu Bei to do so. He can only urgently find his own counselors to discuss this matter.

"My lord, this matter should not be moved quietly. I think the big clan in Yizhou are all under the grace of Han, and they definitely won't be those with wolfish ambitions. Please rest assured, my lord."

Zhuge Liang said it first, but everyone knew it was empty talk, but it had to be said that Zhuge Liang was indeed capable, and after a slight pause, he spoke again.

"Now the main thing for the lord is to fight Wei Tao. If the lord can defeat Wei Tao, then there is hope for Kuangfu Han Dynasty, and people's hearts must be determined! The previous battles have already made Wei Tao clear. Now, as long as the lord fights with him, then this may be the victory!"

Although Zhuge Liang still gave a solution, it failed to satisfy everyone, after all, Wei Tao's strength is not bad.

But at this time, there is obviously no better way, so after a little hesitation, Liu Bei can only let it go, and at most secretly order people to pay close attention to the actions of various Yizhou clans.

Of course, this will make those families feel dissatisfied, but they all know that Liu Bei is helpless in the face of such a situation.

Just one policy is already to make the aristocratic families in Yizhou separate from Liu Bei. If things go on like this, the contradictions between the two parties will inevitably be irreconcilable.

This is not due to official position, but due to strength. Without Wei Tao's strength, there would be no such results.

Hearing this, Wei Tao couldn't help but smile, that's how it turned out, and the next thing is to take it easy.

After confirming everything about Yi Ying's dispatch of troops, Wei Tao couldn't help smiling even after thinking about it carefully.

"But I don't know who Shu will let come to vote this time."
