"I think back then, I was the imperial court's General Dongzhong, fighting against the Yellow Turban Bandits in the Julu area..."
……
"Nowadays, the capital of Han is in chaos, and there is a lack of a strong general to lead the forbidden army in the palace to protect the safety of the imperial city."
"I don't know if you are willing to take up the position of General Huben Zhonglang?"
……
Smiling and asking Lv Bu, Dong Zhuo just thought for a moment and found a suitable seat for him.
Among the generals of the imperial court, the so-called Zhonglang general is just suitable for Lu Bu today.
You must know that there are five levels of military positions in the Great Han Dynasty. Except for the top generals, and the hussars and chariot generals in the second echelon, among the permanent military positions, the highest status is that of the four major middle schools in the southeast, north, and west. General Lang, and the two ad hoc generals in the palace.
These Zhonglang will be under the direct jurisdiction of the generals, and each of them can have a permanent guard of about 5000 people. They belong to the third echelon with the four generals of Zhengzhen and Pingan, and belong to the apex of the entire general system.
Now that He Jin is dead, the court is afraid of his previous evil deeds, worried that there will be another general who will control the government, so he has not appointed anyone else to succeed He Jin.
In this way, although Lu Bu was under the jurisdiction of the "Great General" in name, he was actually able to stand on his own, and the five thousand guards would all be under the control of him alone.
……
"This... Tiger General?"
A little surprised, no, it should be said that he looked at Dong Zhuo with some surprise. Lv Bu didn't expect that it would be so easy to get promoted as long as he followed the right people.
The position of General Zhonglang is already not small. If it were placed in the time when the Great Han just founded the country, the two top military officers, General Huben Zhonglang and Habayashi Zhonglang, would not even let go of their superiors, General and Sima. in the eyes.
"Serving the country is the duty of our generals. Bu Xing takes this order, and he will never refuse!"
Suddenly he knelt down on one knee towards Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu clasped his fists.
In the blink of an eye, he changed from a "leadership secretary" who was not even an official official of the Han Dynasty to a real army leader.
Such a change made it impossible not to be shocked in his heart.
……
Recalling his struggles in the past ten or twenty years, and recalling the days when he was under Ding Yuan's command, Lu Bu suddenly felt a little sad.
If he had met someone as generous as Dong Zhuo earlier, wouldn't he have already achieved fame and unparalleled status?
……
Thinking of this, Lu Bu took a long breath, and he stopped pretending, but suddenly knelt down from one knee to two knees in front of Dong Zhuo and the others.
Then, under Dong Zhuo's uncertain gaze, he whispered:
"Dong Gong, I have been wandering for half of my life, and I only hate that I have not met the Ming Lord. Now if Dong Gong does not give up, I would like to worship you as a righteous father and serve him day and night with the respect of my children and grandchildren!"
……
I don't know whether it is the inertia of history or what, although Dong Zhuo did not completely lure Lv Bu to kill Ding Yuan with his own interests in this world line, but after this incident, the two still became foster fathers and foster sons.
And looking at Lu Bu's behavior, his attitude towards Dong Zhuo cannot be said to be similar to that of his biological father, but it is much closer than when he was with Ding Yuan.
On the other hand, facing Dong Zhuo's request for an official for Lu Bu, the Luoyang court was somewhat wary.
But fortunately, a few days ago, he, Dong Zhuo, had just invited Yuan Shao to be the prefect of Bohai Sea. The Yuan family felt that he was indebted to him, so Yuan Kai not only did not block his request, but even helped him.
Then Liu Bian saw that his grand tutor had said that, although he didn't quite understand it, he still made Lu Bu a general of the great man's Huben Zhonglang.
Even his old friend Li Su, because of accomplishing a great event, won the favor of Dong Zhuo, and together with him, he became the coveted official position of General Dongzhong.
……
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the incident in Luoyang this time is just a small episode.Although Na Ding Yuan died... But these years, there are not a few court officials who have died due to other reasons. Ding Yuan was born as a commoner, how could he attract the attention of many ministers in the court?
Even the emperor Liu Bian just expressed his "slight regret" about the other party's situation, so he randomly found a general from a local family in Luoyang and filled the position of Zhi Jinwu.
As the days passed, Luoyang also became quiet after a long absence.
For a month in a row, nothing major happened in the court.
Even Yuan Kai, Huang Wan and others thought that the troubled times of the Han Dynasty were finally coming to an end, so they felt much better in their hearts.
It's just that unlike these people, as a well-known "Confucian general", Lu Zhi's life is not very comfortable these days...
……
Recall that two months ago, how was the military power distributed in Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty?
It is he, Shangshu Lu Zhi, Sikong Dong Zhuo, and Zhijinwu Dingyuan, who are each in charge of one, and the three restrict each other to achieve a balance.
Below them, there are a large number of family members like Yuan Shao as the backbone, each of whom is in charge of three to five thousand troops. It may not be a big deal individually, but together, it is about the same as any one of Lu Zhi and the others. .
……
Further down, there are remnants of the former general He Jin.
There is no one to look after these troops, no rations and no pay, and everyone is waiting for them to destroy themselves...
……
But now?
After less than two months, what is the situation in Luoyang, the capital of the Han Dynasty now?
……
Yuan Shao left and served as the prefect of Bohai, and the post of captain of Sili was succeeded by Weiwei Zhang Wen.
Zhang Wen has a strong temper and does not associate with Dong Zhuo, so within half a month, he was targeted by Dong Zhuo.Dong Zhuo tortured Zhang Wen to death at the entrance of the downtown area on the first day of October on the grounds that Zhang Wen had bribed others when he was the Taiwei three years ago.
After that, Dong Zhuo recommended a son of a family to serve as Captain of Sili.
……
Ding Yuan went crazy, attacked the court officials in the street, and was killed by his subordinate Lv Bu. Lv Bu was recommended by Dong Zhuo as the general of the great Han Huben, led five thousand palace guards, and led the original Ding Yuan army general Zhang Liao and others to fully integrate Ding Yuan's military legacy, the [-] Bingzhou Legion, and the tens of thousands of Bingzhou Wolf Riders in the legion.
According to anecdotal information, Lv Bu and Dong Zhuo were very close, and there were rumors that the two had already worshiped as foster father and son, and they were the same person.
……
Wu Kuang, Gao Shun and others under He Jin's former subordinates were discovered by Sikong Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo fought hard for him in the court, and finally won some of the previously owed military pay and rations.
The rest will be made up by Dong Zhuo himself.
Now Wu Kuang, Gao Shun and others have all returned to their hearts, He Miao and other rebel forces were all killed by Wu Kuang, and Lord Wuyang was beheaded and killed at home by Dong Zhuo, and he was not buried...
……
Did you find out?However, within two months, Dong Zhuo took all the troops in Luoyang City into his own hands through some means without saying a word.
If two months ago, Dong Zhuo's power and Lu Zhi's power were evenly matched, then two months later, in front of Dong Zhuo, Lu Zhi had become a bug that could be easily crushed at any time.
……
For some reason, Dong Zhuo hadn't done anything to Lu Zhi until now.
But Lu Zhi is not stupid.
Everyone got rid of everyone except him, so would I expect Dong Zhuo to let him go?
I haven't attacked him yet, but it's just because the other party is acting cautiously!
Thinking of this, Lu Zhi felt depressed and unbearable, and the future of this big man was even more gloomy, and it was difficult to see the slightest light.
……
"Could it be...is this the end of the big man?"
"I think I have this letter in my hand, but I haven't had the opportunity to assist the emperor in governing the world in the future, so I was excluded from Luoyang's inner circle..."
Looking at the edict left by Emperor Ling of Han in his hand, Lu Zhi's expression was a bit bitter.
Although he is unwilling to admit it, judging from the current situation, he seems to have lost.
Just because of his arrogance and contempt for Dong Zhuo, he didn't take Dong Zhuo seriously in the early stage.
Two months passed, and Dong Zhuo's power rapidly expanded to the point where he could hardly suppress it. At this time, it was too late for him to interfere.
Now if it continues like this, there will only be two endings.
Either he, Lu Zhi, was dismissed for some reason and sent home.
Or Dong Zhuo would be more ruthless and send him to prison.
This couldn't be easier for Dong Zhuo who is in charge of Sikong's authority.
……
According to Lu Zhi's analysis, Dong Zhuo's current subordinates probably already have no less than one hundred thousand people...
What is this concept?
Even when the entire Yellow Turban Rebellion was quelled and the Han Dynasty tried its best, it only mobilized more than [-] central troops!
The current situation is equivalent to him, Lu Zhi, who is against all the troops of the entire Han Dynasty!
Where is there any chance for him to resist?Where is there any chance?
……
Thinking of this, Lu Zhi's eyes became darker and his face became gloomy.
As a veteran of the three dynasties, he was unwilling to give up like this.
Let a "powerful official" like Dong Zhuo be in power, and the only way waiting for the big man is destruction.
Lu Zhi believed in this very much.
……
"Ugh……"
……
But what can I do then?
Just when he was at a loss, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.
Thinking of this, for some reason, Lu Zhi suddenly put down the depression in his heart, took a pen and paper, and started to write the letter in a hurry.
A dozen or so letters in a row were written, and they were sent to Youzhou in the north, to Zhuojun, Lu Zhi's hometown, and to various places in Dahan.
Then, as if he had lost his mind, he laughed out loud.
