Chapter 449: The Dispute over the Merger of States (7)

Dong Zhuo's cholera dynasty, at first, many people only thought that he was another Wang Mang-like figure, and he still had the idea of King Qin in his heart. But as the heroes sought Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo destroyed Luoyang and entered Chang'an, their minds gradually changed. So there was a situation of competing for hegemony, but some people were firm in their loyalty and hoped to preserve more power, while some people hoped to control more territory and get more power, until they finally overthrew the throne of the Liu family and sat on it themselves.

However, Wang Yun was able to say that Lu Bu had killed Dong Zhuo, and when the news reached their ears through the eyes of the princes from all walks of life, they were all shocked. Especially those with bad intentions, they are even more thinking of plotting to provoke Lu Bu or others, except for Wang Yun, who wants to restore the prestige of the Han family.

It's just that before they could make a move, Lu Bu left, and then Wang Yun cut off the people who opposed him in the court, and for a while there was no way but to lie dormant or think of another way.

is so that Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, and Guo Yan will return to Chang'an, and Jia Xu's suggestion is just to push the boat down the river. It is precisely because of this that Jia Xu, who is good at protecting himself, left the two directly and voted for Zhang Xiu, who has no potential, but also does not have much danger and ambition.

Wait-and-see and life-saving, both of which show Jia Xu's wisdom.

The wind and clouds are surging, and the world knows!

Who would have thought that Li Dao and Guo Yan would be pure fools without Jia Xu, and the fierce struggle for power and profit made Liu Xie, who was also secretly dormant, escape from Chang'an. This made some of the princes who hoped that the Liu clan would fall to feel very incredible, and they were also dissatisfied, dissatisfied with the stupidity of Li and Guo; It also made the princes of the loyal Han family and the princes who had the Son of Heaven to make the princes happy.

Yuan Shu is the former.

Yuan Shu has always believed that the surname Yuan came from Chen, and after Chen Naishun, he used soil to bear the fire, and he had to come to chance. (This involves the theory of the change of dynasties of the five elements, if you are interested, you can find it yourself.) )

There is also a proverb that says: "Those who represent the Han Dynasty should be Tu Gaoye!" ”

And he Yuan Shuzi highway, the highway, that is, Tu Gao, is in response to its prophecy. Then he had the heart of being the emperor. Later, he obtained the jade seal of the country from Sun Ce's hands, and even summoned the civil and military forces to be the emperor. The ministers were all silent, but only the chief secretary Yan Xiang said to stop them: "Back then, the Zhou people from their ancestor Houji to King Wen, accumulated merit, and it can be said that there are two points of them in the world, but they are still cautious to be the courtiers of the Yin Shang Dynasty. Although you have been a high-ranking official for many years, I am afraid that you are not as prosperous as the Ji family; At present, although the Han family is in decline, it seems that it cannot be compared with the brutal and unscrupulous King Yin! ”

Yuan Shu immediately brushed his sleeves away.

Later, Cao Cao moved the capital to Xuchang, the Han Dynasty was in flames, Yuan Shao marched into the state and the war continued, Sun Ce in the south of Yangzhou continued to fight, and there was friction with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Yan in Yizhou and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong also launched the first Shuzhong War, that is, the battle between Dongchuan and Xichuan.

Yuan Shu felt that this was the lack of virtue of the Han family, which was not enough to manage the prefectures and counties, and there should be a new emperor who was born. In addition, Zhang Hong, a native of Hanoi, divined a hexagram for him, saying that he had the destiny to be the emperor. It was because he could no longer hold back the ambition in his heart, and despite Yan Xiang's obstruction, he was ready to become the emperor.

There is no impermeable strength in the world, especially Gongsun Du, who set up Qiao Yanglou many years ago to collect news from various states in the world, and received the news before Sun Ce and Cao Cao, who were closest to Yuan Shu.

Yang Song.

This time, Gongsun Du only arrived half a day later than Zhao Yun, and told him when Lu Bu pleaded guilty: "This is a deliberate act, don't worry about Feng first." ”

"Lord, this ......" Lu Bu immediately changed color, and the idea that Gongsun Du wanted to weaken the strength of his subordinates also rose in his heart.

When Gongsun Du said it, he could naturally think of this, so he chuckled and said: "When you take the state, the 300,000 Youzhou army will go south and seize the land of Hebei in one fell swoop." ”

Lu Bu's eyes couldn't help but widen when he heard this, full of disbelief: "Three hundred thousand? ”

Gongsun Du nodded with a smile, and then changed his voice and said: "Although the army under your original command cannot be said to be invincible, it also has extremely strong strength, but it is only due to the small population and the number of troops under your rule. In this way, I also wanted to see what the strength was, and I should have been able to see it when I attacked Yu Yu, but because Shi Yu was too small, Zilong broke the city too fast, and I couldn't see anything. That's why someone delayed the dragon for a while, so that Feng Xian you have the opportunity to attack Yangqu first. ”

"Furthermore, although the original army is not large, it is also in the early 30,000s, and how can it be so fast to mobilize so many different types of armor and equipment."

"But now that you know what your strength is, you don't need to continue to attack, as for Feng Xian, you can stay here and wait for the armor and equipment to be delivered, or you can continue to go south with Zilong, how to choose is up to you."

This did not mean to warn Lu Bu and the others, after all, they took the initiative to take refuge, not surrender after being defeated, and the gap between the two can be said to be unreasonable. Although this may cause some people's dissatisfaction, Gongsun Du is not worried about this, not to mention that the strength in his hands is enough to suppress it, it is enough to say that the hidden dangers exposed are better than the hidden dangers.

Lu Bu faintly felt this, but he didn't feel that it was inappropriate, but he was really relieved in his heart, because he knew that Gongsun Du really accepted them, otherwise there was no need to go to such great lengths.

But what to do? Remain? Or go south with Zhao Yun?

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, the former can show loyalty, after all, it is not for you to choose, you can choose at will; The latter can directly feel the strength of the Youzhou Army, as well as obtain combat exploits, the trouble is that because the army needs to change its armor and equipment, it can only stay here, and he himself has become a bachelor.

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Bu, who has always been belligerent, made a decision: "My subordinates are willing to go south with Zilong and do their best." ”

Gongsun Du nodded and said: "In this case, for the generals cannot be without soldiers, a certain person will evenly distribute five hundred war horses and five hundred sets of cavalry armor and equipment, and go to select people first, and then set off with Zilong after changing clothes." ”

A glass of wine releases military power? No, release the military power by war!

Only then did Lu Bu really understand what Gongsun Du meant, these five hundred people were the number of personal soldiers he could have, and there could be no more than that.

"Yes, my lord."

Lu Bu left happily when he was ordered, but after a long time, he realized that the so-called pro-soldiers were just what he thought, in fact, except for Gongsun Du, no one had pro-soldiers, and the rest of the people had guards, and when they were mobilized, these people could follow him to transfer, but it was not him who was loyal. And at that time, his guards happened to change a full round.

Lu Bu picked out five hundred people from his original personal soldiers, then put on new equipment and set off with Zhao Yun.

Gongsun Du stayed in Yangqu temporarily, preparing to change the clothes of the army led by Gao Shun and others. It's just that that night, the news that Yuan Shu was preparing to become emperor came and disrupted his plan.

"Someone!"

"Lord!"

"Go and ask General Gao Shun to come over."

"Yes, my lord."

Gongsun Du got dressed and got up, but he couldn't help but scold: "Yuan Shu, this guy has not been called the emperor for a long time, but at this time, he is called the emperor, there is really a problem with the braincase." Hmph, too, if it weren't for the problem with the braincase, how could he be the emperor at this time! I don't even understand lewd development, I deserve to die! ”

After scolding, Gongsun Du asked people to invite Chen Gong again, and asked Zhang Liao, Liu Yi and Yang Yi to pack up and prepare to leave.

Gao Shun came quickly, and Gongsun Du arrived outside the door as soon as he got dressed.

"Lord, Gao Shun asks to see!"

"Come in!"

"Yes, my lord."

Entering the house, Gongsun Du did not invite Gao Shun to sit down, so he said directly: "Yuan Shu is about to become emperor, the situation in the Central Plains will change, we can't be trapped in the state, a certain intention is to take the state as soon as possible, so the matter of waiting for the change of clothes will be left to you to complete." ”

Gao Shun did not respond immediately, but replied: "The trapping camp led by his subordinates is good at attacking cities and pulling out villages, since the lord wants to take the annexed state as soon as possible, it is better to bring the trapping camp." ”

Gongsun Du shook his head and refused: "There are only more than 10,000 people in the Youzhou Army Headquarters brought this time, and it may not be difficult to take the annexation state, but in the end, there are fewer people, and you still need to defend these cities that you have taken." Moreover, I am worried that the turbulence of the situation in the Central Plains will make the aliens in the west and north think of him, so it must be suppressed by elite divisions, and the true number of the Youzhou army cannot be exposed for the time being, so it can only be done by trapping the camp strictly. ”

Gao Shun only understood the power in an instant, and immediately responded: "Yes, lord." His subordinates will do everything in their power to defend all the cities. ”

Gongsun Du nodded, and then let Gao Shun retreat. For Gao Shun's ability, Gongsun Du trusted him very much, so he didn't mention or worry about it. If he had changed to better armor and equipment, Gao Shun would not be able to stop all the attacks of the alien race, then he might have to consider the authenticity of the very bad things about Gao Shun in history.
