Chapter 35 Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find!
"Mr. Chen Gong, what you said is serious, just one Gao Shun will become the key to my hegemony?"
Lu Bu said disapprerovingly.
"Then do you think that you still have someone available in your account now?"
"Just Wei Yue, Hou Cheng, and Zang Ba?"
Chen Gong snorted coldly, now Lu Bu has absorbed the Taishan thieves and has 100,000 soldiers, but the combat power is not good at all.
No matter how strong Lu Bu is, he is only one person after all, and among the princes, there are by no means a few people who can defeat him.
"The position of Sima in Xuzhou, although you can share Xuzhou equally with Liu Bei, you will lose the only fierce general in the army."
"Even if Gao Shun lets him die, he must not let him be used by the Son of Heaven, you think about it yourself."
After speaking, Chen Gong walked out of the house.
Lu Bu sat on a stool and poured a pot of wine in front of him into his mouth.
His mood is actually complicated now, although he has now become the national ruler, he has also lost Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and Cao Xing.
He actually knew that Chen Gong was right, but he didn't want to miss the position of Sima in Xuzhou.
Besides, Gao Shun was only seconded to the Son of Heaven, not to let him take refuge in the Son of Heaven.
In Lu Bu's heart, although Gao Shun is brave, he just doesn't like such people.
"Husband."
At this time, his wife Yan came out from behind the screen, poured wine for Lu Bu, and said: "You have always obeyed Chen Gong's words, but now this time is different. ”
"You are the hero of the Han Dynasty, Lingqi is about to be canonized as a concubine, your status is already prominent enough, there is really no need to be a hero in troubled times."
"It's better to accept it when it is good, and if the situation changes in the future, it is not too late to seek great things."
"Haha."
Lu Bu laughed, hugged Yan into his arms, and said, "Chen Gong's knowledge is not as good as that of a woman. ”
"I'm already the ruler of the country, and I have an army under my command, and there can be said to be one person above the court, so why bother to be a warlord."
"If the Son of Heaven can rejuvenate the Han Dynasty, I will help him rejuvenate the Han Dynasty as before, if not, I, Lu Bu, as a relative, should also be able to take power."
"I'll let the envoy reply and agree that Your Majesty will let me take the post of Sima of Xuzhou."
……
"Lu Bu agreed to replace the post of Sima in Xuzhou with Gao Shun, what do you think?"
At Liu Xie's temporary mansion, he asked Jia Xu, Zhu Jun, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang and others.
Originally, according to what he thought before, no matter how greedy Lu Bu was, he would also consider the importance of Gao Shun, but he didn't expect him to sell Gao Shun so simply.
"Your Majesty, according to the minister's understanding of Lu Bu, this is something he can do."
Zhang Liao arched his hand and said that at this time, he was already under Liu Xie's command, and he had drawn a clear line with his past identity.
Immediately afterwards, he said: "It's just that Chen Gong didn't persuade Lu Bu, which is the strangest thing. ”
"General Zhang is right, as the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get and one general is hard to find, with the wisdom of Chen Gong and the talent of Gao Shun, it is impossible not to stop him."
Jia Xu frowned and said.
"Actually, there's nothing strange about it."
Liu Xie Huoran got up and said, "There are two reasons why Lu Bu obeyed Chen Gongyan. ”
"First, Chen Gong, as Lu Bu's military advisor, is considered to be a good omission, which makes Lu Bu admire very much, and he can also focus on bravery."
"Second, in the battle of Yanzhou last year, it was Yanzhou where Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and others welcomed Lu Bu into the master."
"Now that Xuzhou is in our hands, Lu Bu has changed from a warlord to a Hanchen, the situation has changed, and the current Lu Bu does not particularly need Chen Gong."
"Therefore, Chen Gong's words are not so weighty."
After speaking, Jia Xu and the others looked at Liu Xie with surprised eyes, they were still studying the relationship between Lu Bu and Chen Gong, but they didn't expect His Majesty to have analyzed it.
And the analysis is so thorough, even Jia Xu is ashamed of himself.
"It's just a small thing, don't be surprised."
Liu Xie smiled slightly, as a modern person, it is not difficult to analyze this point, because there are already conclusions in history.
Historically, when Lu Bu was about to abandon Xuzhou and join Yuan Shao, he had already begun to disobey Chen Gong's advice and instead obey the words of his wife and concubine.
Therefore, this time Lu Bu agreed to replace the post of Xuzhou Sima with Gao Shun, which is not surprising.
Historically, the evaluation of Lu Bu's "courage but lack of strategy" is actually very correct.
No scheming does not mean that Lu Bu is not smart and mediocre enough, on the contrary, Lu Bu is very cunning, and everything he does is profit-oriented, which is also very in line with the appearance of modern people chasing fame and fortune.
It's just that in the Central Plains, it's not enough to rely on cunning, and after losing the "great wisdom" of Chen Gong, Lu Bu is like a wing.
"If you can get rid of Chen Gong, maybe you can really control Lu Bu."
Liu Xie thought about it in his heart, but this matter was not in a hurry, and the fat man did not eat it in one bite, so he immediately said: "Wenyuan, you and Gao Shun are old acquaintances, so please invite him over." ”
"Yes."
Zhang Liao responded and hurriedly went to invite Gao Shun.
Since Gao Shun was captured, Liu Xie has always treated him with courtesy, and when he returned to Xuzhou, he only locked him in the guest room.
A moment later, Zhang Liao brought him over.
"General Gao Shun, Wen Yuan has already explained the matter to you roughly."
"I said bluntly, I don't need you to betray the old master, but I also need your strength to prosper the Han family."
"So, during this time, you will serve under me as a guest secretary."
Liu Xie didn't want to be strong, and Gao Shun in history, if he wasn't so stupid and loyal, he wouldn't have died in the hands of Cao Cao in the end.
This famous general who was as famous as Lu Bu under Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms era ended too badly.
Zhang Liao can shine in the battles of Hefei and Mixukou, but Gao Shun's name can only be buried in the dust of history.
"Shun is just a general of the defeated army, thanks to His Majesty's love."
Gao Shun's voice was hoarse, and he gave his hand in response.
Then, he said: "It's just that Lu Bu knows loyalty and doesn't need it, and Shun doesn't hate him......"
"Lu Bu really doesn't have the talent to know people, otherwise with the talent of General Gao, how could he only be the commander of seven hundred people."
Seeing this, Zhang Liao persuaded him.
In the audience, no one would doubt Gao Shun's ability, with seven hundred infantry, he was forced to train into the first elite under Lu Bu.
Even if you look at the entire history of the Three Kingdoms, the trapped camp is also a top-level combat power-like existence.
It's just that Gao Shun's life is too stubborn, and he adheres to the iron rule that loyal ministers don't do anything to the two masters.
"It's just that I didn't expect that Lu Bu would sell me because of the position of Sima in Xuzhou."
Gao Shun continued, his tone was full of anger, and at this time, his mood was complicated.
betrayed Lu Bu, his heart did not allow himself to do this.
But the person in front of him is the Son of Heaven, and he is also a master who is eager to seek talent.
Although it is only "seconded", in Gao Shun's words, this word does not exist.
Whoever he is loyal to is whoever he is.
"So, how is General Gao going to choose?"
Liu Xie asked with a smile, and at this moment, all eyes were focused on Gao Shun's body, waiting for him to answer.
