After the conversation with Dong Zhuo,

Lu Bu only had some suspicions.

But now that I think about it,

Lu Bu only felt that his brain seemed to be a little chaotic at the moment.

opened his mouth and took a deep breath,

Lu Bu tried to make his mind clearer.

If we make an inference based on this suspicion,

At the beginning, Lu Zhi advised Dong Zhuo,

led to the dismissal of Lu Zhi by Dong Zhuo later,

Is it really as simple as it seems?

Isn't there something unknown in it?

Also, the relationship between the three heroes of the late Han Dynasty is irreversible,

Dong Zhuo has cooperated with Huangfu Song many times,

If they don't know each other,

Then this is impossible,

But if Huangfu Song is really disgusted with Dong Zhuo,

So Huangfu Song once had countless opportunities,

can control Dong Zhuo and die,

However, the truth is,

Dong Zhuo's promotion,

Although his stammering with the traitorous eunuch is indispensable,

and Li Ru's various plans,

But it is undeniable that

Huangfu Song and the other three actually contributed a lot in it.

But after Dong Zhuo took power,

once wanted to promote the three of them,

But the three of them insisted on not accepting it for various reasons,

On the contrary, the three of them have been many times,

He has opposed Dong Zhuo in public.

However, with Dong Zhuo's brutality, he has never killed the three of them.

Even if it is persecution,

At best, it's just a recall.

This really doesn't seem to be in line with Dong Zhuo's style of acting,

Is there something else going on here?

Under the cover of history,

There are too many unsolved mysteries to solve,

Not even more, in the Hereafter,

Which widely circulated "Romance of the Three Kingdoms",

There are many fabrications and distortions.

It is even more impossible for the world to know the truth of history.

Thinking of this,

Lu Bu suddenly wanted to find out the real answer,

So I couldn't help but speak:

"Sir, I have a question, can you please explain it to me?"

Lu Zhi was stunned when he heard this,

Gently nodded his head, looked at Lu Bu and asked:

"Your lord, you can say it clearly."

After thinking about it,

Lu Bu finally made up his mind to ask:

"Dong Zhuo, what do you think of this person, sir?"

discourse outlet,

Lu Bu kept staring at Lu Zhi's face.

Sure enough, after Lu Bu raised this question,

Lu Zhi's complexion changed slightly,

Although he disguised it quickly,

And in a very short period of time,

and returned to normal,

But it was captured by Lu Bu,

And in the depths of Lu Zhi's eyes,

Lu Bu also noticed that there was an imperceptible gloom passing there.

Seeing this, Lu Bu's heart moved,

I have a rough idea of the answer.

I saw Lu Zhi open his mouth first,

It seems to be thinking about how to speak,

After thinking about it for a long time,

Later, I finally said:

"For the country, for the people, for the people, for the thief, for me, for friends."

When Lu Bu heard this, he secretly said in his heart:

"Sure enough."

The previous guess was not wrong,

It seems that between Dong Zhuo and Lu Zhi,

There is indeed a lot of tacit understanding.

After Lu Zhi finished calmly,

looked at Lu Bu with burning eyes,

A somewhat weird smile suddenly appeared on his face,

"Lord, do you regret it now?"

"Regrets?" Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this,

Immediately, he understood the meaning of Lu Zhi's words,

Originally, Lu Bu tried his best to invite Lu Zhi out,

The purpose is to be afraid that when Li Ru and others conquer the Western Regions,

The expansion of power leads to the tail not falling,

That's why I found a special person like Lu Zhi,

As the main general of the expedition to the Western Regions.

But now,

Lu Bu knew something,

Dong Zhuo turned out to be friends with Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song and others.

Although it may not be intimate to have a relationship,

But at least to some extent,

They are also all people on the same front.

In this case,

If Lu Zhi continues to be the main general of the expedition to the Western Regions,

Isn't it just that they can be together?

There is a good chance that it will make their power even bigger.

Lu Bu picked up the cup casually,

Sipping the tea,

Only then did he look at Lu Zhidao slowly:

"Sir, will you?"

Lu Zhi was stunned when he heard this,

Looking at Lu Bu deeply,

found that at this moment on Lu Bu's face,

Only a smile with a light breeze,

Other than that, there are no other peculiar expressions.

Lu Zhi looked very carefully,

After reading it for a long time,

Suddenly Yang laughed:

"Hahaha, that's not true. I don't say anything, I really can't guarantee that a certain family will have two hearts in the future. ”

After the voice fell,

Lu Zhi looked at Lu Bu again with a smile.

Lu Bu's complexion remained unchanged,

Quietly, he said:

"I know. However, although the students are not talented, they also know that there is no doubt in employing people, and there is no need for doubtful people. Since I chose him, I believe in him, and at the same time, I believe in my own vision. ”

Lu Zhi put away his smile,

Looking at Lu Bu's eyes, an inexplicable meaning crossed his eyes,

looked at Lu Bu fixedly for a long time,

Lu Zhi stood up suddenly,

respectfully bowed to Lu Bu,

Lang Sheng said:

"The lord asks for forgiveness for the sin of temptation of the old man, Lu Zigan will be conscientious and conscientious for the lord from today onwards, and he will go to the soup and go to the fire!"

During the whole process,

Lu Bu never said a word,

Until Lu Zhi is finished,

Only then did he get up and help Lu Zhi up:

"Sir, I've been waiting for this for a long time."

Lu Bu's is very sincere,

Indeed, since learning about Lu Zhi,

Lu Bu couldn't wait for Lu Zhi to be effective,

However, he also knew that this matter was urgent.

So for some time,

He was always patient,

Finally waited for Lu Zhi's contribution,

finally let a big stone in my heart fall.

However, now Lu Zhi took the initiative to come,

Yes, Lu Zhi is equivalent to telling Lu Bu about his relationship with Dong Zhuo.

At the beginning, Lu Bu didn't know Lu Zhilaitz's purpose,

But halfway through the conversation,

Lu Bu understood Lu Zhi's intentions,

This is also a way of communication in Gurao,

The more knowledgeable a person is,

When you speak, the less you go straight,

Instead, after going around in a big circle,

Only then did the real thoughts be expressed tactfully.

There are two meanings to this.

First of all, if it's too direct,

It's likely to make people feel less subtle,

It doesn't highlight the temperament of Shirao,

Since ancient times, literati have been more arrogant, and drinkers have been less hypocritical.

That's it.

This literati on weekdays,

may be approachable,

may talk and laugh,

But when it comes to some of their principles and bottom lines,

Even if it is broken bones,

We will not back down even a single step.

Literati have a proud backbone, which has been the case since ancient times.

Qu Yuan "has not regretted his death for nine times",

Li Bai "An can urge his eyebrows to bend his waist to serve the powerful",

Tao Qian "does not bend his waist for five buckets of rice",

But after all, not all literati have similar experiences,

However, in addition to this,

In everyday life,

There are also many places that can show the arrogance of Wen Rao,

Of course, it is also called proud by many people, and even reprimanded as hypocrisy.

For example, the way this is said,

They have their own persistence and habits,

As if if not to do so,

It is impossible to show their identity.

As for the other meaning of this way of speaking,

It is the meaning of the school examination,

If the other party can understand,

Then it is clear that they are all people of the same level,

But if the other party doesn't understand,

Then the speaker is likely to have reservations.

Lu Bu naturally understands these very well,

Therefore, when Lu Zhi pledged allegiance again,

will make Lu Bu feel relieved,

Because Lu Zhi was able to tell Lu Bu this secret,

He also knows his loyalty to Lu Bu.

If Lu Zhi first pledged his allegiance to Lu Bu,

Just because he recognized Lu Bu,

If you think that Lu Bu is a lord worth following,

So this time the allegiance,

It's because at the time of the group wedding,

Lu Zhi's real discovery,

Lu Bu is a true mind,

And the one who always fights for it,

This coincides with Lu Zhibenrao's thoughts,

You can even

What Lu Bu thinks, what he considers,

More far-reaching than him,

This made Lu Zhi let go of all his mustard and selfishness,

Willing to be loyal to Lu Bu without reservation.

Although they are all also effective,

But its nature and results will be very different.

Lu Zhi believed that Lu Bu could feel it,

And the latter, apparently, did not live up to his expectations.

After Lu Zhi got up,

Directly asked Lu Bu:

"My lord, I have some ideas for going to the Western Regions."

"Sir, but it's all right."

Lu Zhi walked to the front of the map,

Stretched out his finger and pointed to the piece of the map that represented the Western Regions,

"Look, the former Western Regions Governor's Mansion is located in the west of Dunhuang County, but now, the farthest distance that the imperial court can control is only Zhangye and Jiuquan counties. If you go by yourself to conquer the Western Regions, no matter how far you go, you can't do it with just a lot of grain and grass. ”

Lu Bu nodded and didn't say anything,

motioned for Lu Zhi to continue.

Lu Zhi stroked the long beard under his chin and said:

"The last general also considered emulating the method of the lord and the head of the prince to conquer the grassland and feed the war with war, but later found that this method was not applicable to the Western Regions."

When Lu Bu heard this, his eyebrows raised slightly,

He asked:

"What do you say, sir?"

When Lu Bu set up the expedition to the Western Regions,

is preparing to let Li Ru and others use this method,

But Lu Zhi directly denied it,

So I asked why.

Lu Zhi opened his mouth and replied:

"The Western Regions are different from the grassland, although there are many tribes on the grassland, they are all subordinate to the Xianbei Department, which can be a whole, and almost all the big tribes are very hostile to our Han people, so although the method of fighting and raising war is hurtful, it is applicable to the grassland barbarians."

Lu Bu immediately understood Lu Zhi's thoughts,

He took over the conversation and said:

"But there are countless countries scattered in the Western Regions, and when Dingyuan Hou was first in the Western Regions, there were more than 50 countries in the statistics at that time."

Nodding, Lu Zhi continued:

"Your lord's right. And these many countries were all subordinated to the imperial court at that time, even if countries such as the Otsuki clan and Wusun did not submit to the imperial court, they were also allies. Nowadays, although the imperial court has lost control of the Western Regions for many years, many countries are still quite friendly to our Han people, and if the lord goes to the Western Regions to blindly conquer, I am afraid it will be counterproductive. ”

Lu Bu was silent when he heard this,

Bowed his head and fell into deep thought,

He really didn't think about it at first.

What he began to think was,

The foreigners of the Western Regions are the same as the steppes,

The hearts of those who are not of my race will be different,

Therefore, it is enough to treat the Western Regions in the same way as the original conquest of grasslands.

But now it seems,

But what he thought was a little too simplistic.

As Lu Zhisuo,

The countries of the Western Regions are numerous,

And a significant number of these countries,

It's still very friendly to the Han people,

When he went to the Western Regions some time ago,

For this,

More touching,

Although the communication with the Han Dynasty has been cut off,

But for the Han people,

Even for the court of the Han Dynasty,

It's still full of friendliness and even awe.

In such a situation,

If you use the same set on the grassland,

Obviously very out of place.

Lu Bu frowned,

Turning his head to look at Lu Zhi, he asked:

"Then I don't know if Mr. has a good plan?"

Lu Zhi nodded,

Opening:

"That's what the last general is thinking. But before the end, there is one thing to be clarified. ”

After Lu Zhi finished, he looked at Lu Bu with burning eyes.

Lu Bu's heart moved,

Immediately understood what Lu Zhi meant,

is the question that Lu Zhi raised at the beginning,

What exactly does Lu Bu think in his heart?

Lu Bu walked to the map,

Place your finger on Luoyang,

And then all the way west,

Across Liangzhou, across the Western Regions,

Lu Bu opened his mouth at this time:

"Sir, do you know where the West of the Western Regions is?"

Lu Zhi then replied:

"In the western part of the Western Regions, from north to south, there are countries such as the Northern Xiongnu, Kangju, Dawan, Guishan, and Shenfu, and further west are countries such as Khorezm and Anxi."

Since he knew that Lu Bu was going to send him to the Western Regions,

Lu Zhi has been researching for a while,

Therefore, this question was answered without thinking.

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction,

worthy of being a veteran,

This alone shows that

Lu Zhi put a lot of effort into doing his homework.

Lu Bu then asked:

"Further west, do you know what place it is?"

"Further west?"

Lu Zhi was stunned when he heard this,

Then he replied:

"Further west, it seems that there are not many records in historical materials, but according to some biographies, it should be the place where the Great Qin Empire is located, but I don't know if there have been changes now."

Lu Bu nodded and replied:

"What the gentleman said is true. It was also after I traveled to the Western Regions this time that I learned that the Great Qin Empire is still alive today, but it has also begun to decline, on the one hand, it was forced by the Huns, and on the other hand, there are more powerful countries to their west. ”

"There are more powerful countries to the west!?"

Lu Zhi's eyes widened when he heard this.

Lu Bu nodded,

Moved his finger to the easternmost side,

Opening:

"This is Goguryeo, but south of Goguryeo, there are Baekje, Samhan, and even on the sea to the east, there is an island nation called the Wa Kingdom...... The gentleman asked me where I was going. ”

Lu Bu paused,

Turning his head to look at Lu Zhi,

Slowly spoke:

"I don't know. But in my lifetime, I hope to be able to explore as many places as possible, so that the light of the Han Dynasty can shine. It is not the king's land! ”
