Everything in the world has a cause and effect.

In history, Cao Cao besieged Lü Bu for three months, causing Lü Bu's army to centrifuge up and down, and Wei Xu finally united Hou Cheng and Song Xian to sell Lü Bu, which was of course the betrayal of Wei Xu and the three of them, but it also showed the incompetence of Lü Bu Chen Palace.

At the moment, the Yang clan only attacked Gucheng, and there was still some distance from Luoyang, let alone besieged the city, and Wei Xu and the others naturally did not consider betrayal.

Lu Bu really has no way, maybe in the battle array, when fighting on horseback, Lu Bu is an out-and-out king, but at the strategic level, Lu Bu is a bronze, and even krypton gold can't be improved by half a point.

Lu Bu knew that there was a problem at the moment, which was an intuitive extension of the battlefield, but that was the end of it, and it was beyond Lu Bu's ability to find the source of the problem and continue to find a way out of this problem......

Therefore, Lu Bu, like most ordinary people, it is reasonable to use wine to drown his sorrows.

But Lu Bu is also not a fool, and he also has the ability to instantly grasp flaws in some things he is familiar with as if he is on the battlefield, so Wei Xu was immediately seen through by Lu Bu according to the behavior of drawing a scoop with a gourd.

Wei Xu is half of his own family, so Lu Bu didn't pay much attention to Wei Xu when he saw him, but if he wanted to see Zhou Zhang, he couldn't be too casual, after all, the Han Dynasty was still a dynasty that paid great attention to etiquette, and even because of a meal, he could turn his face and be an enemy.

So when Zhou Zhang came, Lu Bu had already washed up and changed his clothes, although the deep dark circles under his eyes still betrayed his decadence for a while, but at least his appearance looked better than the previous beggar I don't know how many times.

Zhou Zhang walked closer, did not hurry, bowed to Lu Bu, and then stood quietly, waiting for orders.

Lu Bu looked at Zhou Zhang quietly, saw his calm bearing, was silent for a moment, and then pointed to the seat on the side and said, "Please take a seat." ”

"Xie Wenhou."

Zhou Zhang is not very old, that is, he is in his twenties, although his appearance is not handsome, but it can be regarded as square. After all, young people, as long as they are not really crooked melons and cracked dates, like Yang Song, they are really incomplete, and basically speaking, they will not feel too bad.

Lu Bu opened his mouth and said: "In today's situation, does Zhou have a good plan? Let's put it bluntly. ”

Zhou Zhang glanced at Wei Xu.

Lu Bu continued: "General Wei was born in Rongma, and he failed to express the subtlety of Zhou. ”

Zhou Zhang arched his hand and said: "Wen Hou asked, and his subordinates naturally said everything. If there is anything abrupt about offending, look at Wen Hou Haihan. ”

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "But it's okay to say. "Since I decided to see Zhou Zhang, I want to listen to what Zhou Zhang thinks, after all, Wei Xu is still a big man in nature, and the microphone is probably okay, but whether there is something missing, probably even Wei Xu himself may not be able to know.

Zhou Zhang nodded and said: "The way of the sage, there are thousands of foreigners, and all things can be developed, and they are also extremely high in the sky. Therefore, the saint said that he is not virtuous, and the Tao is not condensed......"

Lu Bu was a little dizzy, turned his head to look at Wei Xu, but saw that Wei Xu had already begun to roll his eyes.

"Ahem......" Lu Bu interrupted Zhou Zhang's words, blinked and said, "This...... Zhou Zhi, General Wei and a certain are rough people, or please say something briefly......"

"Wen Hou Guoqian...... "It's already so clear, Lu Bu still can't understand it, which makes Zhou Zhang inevitably a little frustrated.

After being silent for a moment, Zhou Zhang sighed slightly helplessly and said, "To put it simply, it's just the four words 'Mingzhe to protect one'......"

"Mingzhe protects himself?" Lu Bu repeated.

"Wen Hou, please forgive me for being ......disrespectful," Zhou Zhang arched his hand and said, "The current situation, can you fight for a long time?" Wenhou is brave and brave, unparalleled in the world, if he drives for a long time, he is naturally invincible and unfavorable...... However, even a small victory will not save the big picture...... In the lower was originally in the suburbs of Luoyang, now most of the fields are damaged, and the number of autumn harvests can be imagined...... Therefore, at the moment in Luoyang City, Cangyu is probably ......"

Lu Bu was silent.

"Regardless of the matter of the soldiers' rations, the harsh winter is coming, may I ask Wenhou, can the soldiers have something to protect them from the cold? If a heavy snow falls, I'm afraid that countless people will freeze to death in Luoyang City! Even if it survives the winter, what will happen to spring plowing next year? How will you get the next year's autumn harvest? Zhou Zhang said one by one, obviously also a long-term person.

When Lu Bu heard this, his fists clenched, and a thin layer of sweat couldn't help but appear on his forehead, and his head began to ache faintly. It's not that Lu Bu hasn't thought about these questions, it's just that he doesn't dare to think about them at all. The road ahead was dark, and a little thought was extremely fearful, which was also the most fundamental reason why Lu Bu tried to anesthetize himself with alcohol during this period of time. Now that Zhou Zhang has all picked it out, Lu Bu feels like he is exposed to the sun, which is very uncomfortable.

"Therefore, since there is no way to advance...... Zhou Zhanggong said, "You might as well retreat and protect yourself, so that you can wait for the ......opportunity to rise later."

Lu Bu's face sank like water, and said, "Zhou Zhi wants me to give up Luoyang to others?" ”

Zhou Zhang ignored the frequent glances sent by Wei Xu on the side, and calmly arched his hand and said, "Exactly!" Tens of millions of living beings in Luoyang, life and death, are all in the thought of Wen Hou! This move can be a positive reputation, and the second can protect itself, so why not do it? ”

"Zhou Zifeng!" Wei Xu couldn't help but scolded loudly, "That's obviously not what Fang Cai said!" You ......"

"Heh......" Lu Bu stretched out his hand to stop Wei Xu's words, and said with a wry smile, "If there is a person, it is easy to retreat...... But where is the brother who follows so-and-so? ”

"Wen Hou is really benevolent and righteous." Zhou Zhang gave the standard words of praise without sincerity, "If Wen Hou only wants to retreat from the Yang family's soldiers, it will not be difficult...... Therefore, if Wenhou sends brave generals, they will drive Hongnong into the Hongnong Province by dividing the road lightly and lightly, and disrupt the attack, one can intercept the grain road, and the other can attack the reinforcements, and within ten months, the Yang family will inevitably retreat......"

"But ......" Zhou Zhang looked at the excited Wei Xu on the side, and continued, "Luoyang is dead at the moment, even if there is a small victory, it is still impossible to escape defeat......

"You!" Wei Xu was still smiling when he heard the first half of the sentence, but in the blink of an eye, the smile suddenly froze on his face, and he couldn't wait to slap it.

"Whew......" Lu Bu took a long breath and spit it out. In this way, Luoyang is no longer defensible? ”

"Wen Hou is wise. The sun must not be defended. Zhou Zhang ignored Wei Xu, bowed his hand and said, "Since Wen Hou has already retreated, why don't you find a place to support yourself?" ”

"A place to stay? Hehe...... Although the world is big, it ......" Lu Bu shook his head. Haven't you come a long way over the years? From south to north, from east to west, where is there a place to stay? That is the place where you can finally feel at ease?

"General Zhengxi has the ambition to accept all rivers, and also has the heart of heroes in the world......," Zhou Zhang arched his hand and said, "I have heard that Wenhou and Zhengxi have an old relationship, why not go to the west?" ”

"Zhengxi ......" Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly waved his hand with some interest, and said, "I know something...... You go down first......"

Zhou Zhang did not force persuasion, bowed down, and then retired.

Wei Xu saw Zhou Zhang leaving, took two steps forward, and was about to say something, but saw Lu Bu also waved his hand at him, "You also go back first...... I want to be quiet......"

“…… This...... Obeying the order...... Wei Xu had no choice but to retire.

In the lobby, it suddenly quieted down, leaving only Lu Bu sitting alone, his eyes a little dazed.

"Luoyang......" Lu Bu let out a long sigh.

This is the period when Lu Bu is really closest to the central power, but he didn't expect it to be so short, like a beautiful soap bubble, looking like it was about to fall into his hands, but he didn't expect it to shatter in an instant.

It's like a time when you finally save money, save a sum of money to pay the down payment, find a bank loan, and look forward to a happy life in your new home in the future, when the developer runs away, and in the blink of an eye, not only the new house is far away, but you have to continue to repay, otherwise the bank will turn around and deny people, and write a bad review on the credit record with a wave of your hand......

It's a pity that Lu Bu still didn't realize that the main reason why he came to this point today is that he was from a humble background, and he is just a martial artist on the border, in other words, he is a hillbilly, a foreigner, an upstart, and then such a hillbilly outsider actually wants to climb on his head, which makes the locals who were originally waiting in line for the pit how to bear it?

"Thirty and stand...... Forty is not confused......" Lu Bu lowered his head, spread his hands, bluffed in front of him, his eyes were a little dull, and muttered, "I never thought that I would reach forty in a certain year, and I couldn't even get the land of the cone...... Hehe...... There are countless counties in the world, and there are tens of millions in China, where is there a certain piece of land in Lu? In the past ten years, I have been fighting and fighting, but I never thought that in the end, it would still be empty...... It's empty, it's ......."

"It's empty!" Lu Bu buried his head in his hands, his body curled up, trembling, crying like a hundred-kilogram child......

………………………………

Compared with Lu Bu, Xu Shu, an outsider, has done a lot better.

After entering Hanzhong, Xu Shu summoned Zhang Ze and Huang Quan, and the three parties sat down and communicated. Xu Shu said that he was only here to support the matters related to Shuzhong in the south, not to snatch the rights of Hanzhong, and hoped to make this piece of cake bigger together with Zhang Ze and Huang Quan......

Of course, there was no cake in the Han Dynasty, but the meaning was almost the same, as for Zhang Ze and Huang Quan to believe it or not, it was another matter, at least Xu Shu expressed his attitude, and there was a tricolor flag flying high behind him, Zhang Ze and Huang Quan naturally agreed, and threw out the beautiful words without money, and the atmosphere between the three of them was suddenly very harmonious.

As for Liu Dan, the assassin of Yizhou, he had already followed Ma Heng's army before Xu Shu's arrival, crossed Bashan in the south, advanced to Brazil, crossed the ocean, and went overseas.

"Liu Yizhou ......" Zhang Ze unceremoniously stabbed Liu Dan in the back of the waist, and said to Xu Shu, "I have already sent someone to make the envoy come and ask him to stay for a while...... As a result, Liu Yizhou said that the military situation was urgent and should not be delayed...... It is also impossible to ...... under I hope you will forgive me......"

After speaking, Zhang Ze raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Xu Shu's expression.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Military priority. Xu Shu nodded, changed the topic with a smile, and said to Huang Quan, "How about this autumn and autumn Fu?" Is it returnable? ”

Zhang Ze and Liu Dan couldn't pee in the same pot, which was also expected by Xu Shu, because Zhang Ze and Liu Dan's interests were originally different. Zhang Ze naturally focuses on the development and expansion of the interests of Hanzhong's own family, and Liu Dan's goal is to keep an eye on Shuzhong, so Zhang Ze is naturally able to spend less money when he can attack Shuzhong, anyway, even if he defeats Shuzhong, there is no Zhang Ze's share......

As for Liu Dan, he was naturally eager to take out all the old foundations in Hanzhong, and instantly created a powerful army of gods and Buddhas to block and kill Buddhas, swept through Shuzhong, and trampled his younger brother Liu Zhang under his feet, so he clashed with Zhang Ze.

Huang Quan, naturally, is in a state of middle harmony, he is wooing Zhang Ze on the one hand, and appeasing Liu Dan on the other hand, plus Huang Quan himself leads Hanzhong Taishou, and Huang Quan still needs Huang Quan to call the shots in Hanzhong on the bright side, so Zhang Ze and Liu Dan have maintained a certain respect and cooperation for Huang Quan.

When Huang Quan heard Xu Shu's questioning, he hurriedly took out a book from his sleeve and presented it to Xu Shu. The matter of money and food has always been the top priority of government affairs, of course Huang Quan would not think that Xu Shu came to Hanzhong, and he didn't even ask about such an important matter, so he was naturally ready for a long time.

Hanzhong is indeed a treasure land......

Looking at Huang Quan's briefing, Xu Shu couldn't help but nod his head, sighing in his heart.

Hanzhong is a small basin, surrounded by mountains, there is water through it, it is a place suitable for farming, and Huang Quan is not weak in people's livelihood and government affairs, today's harvest has reached a new high, and naturally everyone is happy.

"Gongheng has worked hard...... Xu Shu nodded and said, "The military and political affairs of Hanzhong have such good achievements, all of which are the merits of the two. Of course, Xu Shu still has to go down to check the specific situation, but it is expected that Zhang Zehuangquan will not dare to do anything to deceive, because there is still Huang Chengzai in Hanzhong, and this system independent of Zhang Ze and Huang Quan exists for the purpose of supervision, checks and balances.

"Thank you." Zhang Ze and Huang Quan glanced at each other, and left the table together to thank them.

Xu Shu also hurriedly came out and helped Zhang Ze and Huang Quan up, and the three of them looked at each other for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, the atmosphere was so good......

However, such a good atmosphere was soon broken by a news from the Brazilian front.

"Brazil is too defensive? Liu Yizhou wants to be scarred by it? Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, then his color changed, and he blurted out, "Not good!" Liu Yizhou is in danger! ”
