Chapter Forty-Eight: Not Only Do I Want to Trap You, I Want To Steal My Home

For Liu Bei.

Dong Zhuo felt that he wouldn't speak ill of himself, after all, everyone boasted about his good character, so after he came back, he also asked his soldiers to put on better armor, although it was covered with knife marks and arrow marks, but that showed the solidity of these armors!

Dong Zhuo was born in Biansai, and he felt that Liu Bei was also born in Biansai, so he should have a natural liking for himself.

People are creatures.

Always think things in your favor.

And before something happens, there is no way to estimate a person's IQ lower limit and bottom line.

This expedition to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Dong Zhuo felt that it was a piece of cake, so he didn't bring his right-hand man, his son-in-law Li Ru, without the help of this chief think tank, Dong Zhuo's brain was naturally filled with the fat that had grown up over the years, and he didn't move well.

Dong Zhuo, who took Li Ru, only knew how to be reckless, the older people were, the more refined they became, but Dong Zhuo used his routines when he was younger than when he was old.

But in fact, Liu Bei didn't plan to pit Dong Zhuo, he originally just planned to see if he could apply for a transfer after doing this job task, but God let him meet Chen Chen.

Chen Chen didn't have so much communication with Dong Zhuoke, and he still considered the problem from Liu Bei's position.

And Chen Chen's impression of Dong Zhuo is not very good, so naturally he will not think of helping Dong Zhuo think about it, his arrangement for Liu Bei is......

"Seek to merge the state, and take the green and quiet."

"Xiliang Tigers, defeated repeatedly."

And before Dong Zhuo served as the general of Zhonglang to quell the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army, he led the state to assassinate the history and the Taishou of Hedong, and the state was the place where Dong Zhuo started to develop, of course. Dong Zhuo's real hometown is in Longxi, and in the Xiliang area, Dong Zhuo's recognition is extremely high.

At present, Liu Bei knows the situation in Youzhou, Youzhou has been fighting all year round, but the soldiers and horses are brave, Liu Yu's Huairou policy against foreign races in Youzhou seems to have been effective, and the degree of soldiers and horses in various places is much better than when they came out of Youzhou.

Although it is not to be ironclad, if he returns to Youzhou and confronts his clan brother Liu Yu, or his senior brother Gongsun Zhan, Liu Bei is still reluctant in his heart.

And Qingzhou is also one of the places where the Yellow Turban Rebellion is extremely rampant today, which is a challenge and an opportunity for Liu Bei, who is now a major general.

However, the problem now is that Zhao Yan, the assassin of Qingzhou, is politically clear, even if the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou are rampant this time, they are controlled in time, and most of the Yellow Turban Army has been dispersed and infiltrated into the mountains and villages everywhere.

The time when the Qingzhou Yellow Turban really cultivated the climate and cleaned the Qingzhou boundary was not at this time, but when Zhao Yan's next Qingzhou Thorn Shi Jiaohe was in office, so now is not the best time.

Chen Chen analyzed the current situation of these two bases, which should have been relatively good for development, and gave up for the time being.

He set his sights on Dong Zhuo's home and the state.

Chen Chen wanted to merge the state as Liu Bei's base, but his idea was actually very simple.

The local family power of Bingzhou is much weaker than that of other states, after all, Bingzhou has been invaded by foreign races all the year round, and the Xiongnu have been overwhelmed by the raids and harassment of the Xiongnu every autumn and winter, and the land of the Han Dynasty has been almost lost in some parts of the northwest.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the annexed states included a total of nine counties.

Taiyuan County, Shangdang County, Xihe County, Yunzhong County, Dingxiang County, Yanmen County, Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, Shang County.

And mainly affected by the invasion of the Southern Xiongnu, it was mainly the boundaries of Xihe County.

But in fact, at this time, Shuofang County, Wuyuan County, Yunzhong County, Shang County, and the northern part of Xihe were actually no longer under the control of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The counties that were lost belonged to the Hetao region, where the land was fertile and the grasslands were vast, and the horses that grew up in this area were considered good horses.

There are many reasons why Chen Chen aimed at the annexation of the state, and Liu Bei could guess a lot of reasons, but he actually didn't know why Chen Chen felt that the border annexation would be the best choice, you must know that if you have been facing the Xiongnu, if you can't control the border pass well, you may encounter a situation of being stolen at any time.

But now, Liu Bei still decided to follow Chen Chen's plan first and pit Dong Zhuo.

"Your Majesty, General Dong is worthy of being a tiger in Xiliang, brave and good at fighting, and brave to advance."

After all, Dong Zhuo was arranged by Liu Hong, even if he wanted to pit Dong Zhuo, he had to admit Dong Zhuo's strength first, if Dong Zhuo was useless, wouldn't Liu Hong have no knowledge of people?

"It's just that the Yellow Turban thieves are too cunning and proficient in magic, and General Dong's class of troops has no good solution to magic at all, so the Jizhou battlefield is still defeated repeatedly, but fortunately, General Dong has managed the army well, and even if he has been defeated, he has not broken the army's heart."

Liu Bei thought about it, an honest person like him really doesn't know how to trick people, so it's better to praise it.

"You say that Jizhou is now defeated repeatedly? He Dong Zhongying has been guarding the border for so many years, is he not as good as a Confucian student? ”

Liu Hong grasped the key points very well, and immediately grasped the "loophole" in Liu Bei's words.

"Your Majesty! You have a deep misunderstanding of Confucianism! ”

Before Liu Bei could answer, a person suddenly stood up from the ranks of the courtiers, saluted Liu Hong, and began to catch Liu Hong's loopholes.

"Confucianism is not just dancing and writing, Lu Zhigong is a great Confucian in the world, a gentleman is proficient in all the six arts, and he is also very skilled in the use of the art of war, not to mention that during the period when Lu Zhigong commanded the army, he fought back and forth with those rebel ministers and thieves, please retract your Majesty's evaluation of Lu Zhigong!"

This minister should be the imperial history, right?

Liu Bei blinked his eyes, what he didn't expect was that the minister also glanced at him, and his eyes seemed to be full of approval.

"Okay, okay."

Liu Hong waved his hand a little irritably, where did he think that Dong Zhuo, who was promoted and reused by himself, was so unassuming, and his record on paper alone was not as good as Lu Zhi, a civilian Beijing official.

"I lost my words just now, but what I just said was not Lu Zhigong, you people who chase the wind and catch shadows all day long, don't always be so stubborn."

Few emperors dared to kill Yushi.

Because then it will stink for 10,000 years.

Although Liu Hong obviously did not kill Yushi, it can be regarded as a legacy for 10,000 years.

Liu Bei didn't interject, just quietly waited for Liu Hong's order, but while waiting, Liu Bei occasionally raised his head slightly to look at Liu Hong, taking a look at this clan brother who was the same age as himself.

The two are almost the same age, and they are both children of the Liu family, but their identities are very different.

Liu Bei didn't see any substantial difference between him and ordinary people in Liu Hong's body, maybe only the momentum that had been in the top position for a long time, right?

Looking at the floor tiles in the hall, Liu Bei suddenly fell into deep thought.
