Chapter 494: Tian Feng's Worries
After everyone retreated, Tian Feng stayed with a worried face.
"My lord, isn't it a little inappropriate to recruit Lu Bu? Lu Bu has a capricious temperament, and he is afraid of trouble in the future! Tian Feng advised.
Yuan Shu heard this, but he didn't agree, his eyes were empty, as if he remembered the unruly figure when he met Lu Bu for the first time: "To be honest, I don't like Lu Bu either, this person is too unruly and no one can restrain him, he relies on his own force and no one else in his eyes, and he has been a prince of one party, and his mind is uncertain, and he can't wave his arms like an arm." However, so-and-so had to recruit him. ”
"Why is that?" Tian Feng was puzzled.
Yuan Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Because he is Lu Bu, the world's number one military general, Lu Bu." ”
"This person was born in the frontier, deeply influenced by foreign races, and has no integrity at all, if I don't recruit him, he will surrender to Cao Cao after the defeat. And Cao Cao's current situation is critical, and he will definitely take risks with his mind, and it is unknown that he will rely on some means to completely control it in the future. After all, this person is lustful and affectionate, if Cao Mengde threatens him with his wife and daughter, it is estimated that Lu Bu will have to be driven by him no matter how unwilling he is. In this way, a certain has added a big enemy, Lu Bu's courage and Cao Mengde's cunning, the threat to a certain unification of the Central Plains in the future is too great, even if you don't use it, you have to deceive this tiger into Jinling, put him under house arrest or kill him! Yuan Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, his face was resolute, and he said with murderous intent.
When Tian Feng heard this, his face showed a thoughtful expression, and then he sighed: "The lord is wise. ”
Yuan Shu did not hold out any hope for Lu Bu's discipline, and in history he did not hesitate to surrender after being defeated by Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao also saw through his capricious nature at that time and directly refused to kill him, Cao Cao's situation at that time was not as critical as this. Facing the pressure of himself and Liu Bei, whether Cao Cao would kill Lu Bu as Yuan Shu predicted, Yuan Shu couldn't grasp at all. Even with his own understanding of Cao Cao, a hero, he is likely to "protect" Lu Bu's family and directly reuse Lu Bu after breaking up Lu Bu's soldiers.
Lu Bu's existence was a big threat to Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu didn't want to bet on Cao Cao and Lu Bu's reaction, so he chose to take the initiative in his own hands. After rescuing Lu Bu, no matter how you dispose of this goods, it is better than this person surrendering to Cao Cao.
As a monarch, Yuan Shu could not make decisions purely based on his own preferences. When they first met, Lu Bu didn't bring Yuan Shu a good sense, and it could even be said to be a strange difference, he was completely a repeated villain with no one in his eyes, which Yuan Shu didn't like. After all, what if the monarch didn't like his loyal subordinates? How could a person like Lu Bu, who had a bad record and a very poor character, be liked by the monarch?
But Lu Bu is capable, no matter whether Yuan Shu likes this person or not, he must try his best to use it. Just like Lu Yi and Wei Yan, aren't they also sick? If a monarch does not have the capacity to accommodate people, how can he use all the talents of the world? Li Si under Qin Shi Huang and Han Xin Chen Ping under Liu Bang, which one is not full of bad deeds, Yuan Shu can issue a recruitment order, talent first, regardless of virtue and background, why can't Lu Bu be tolerated?
Lu Bu is a hungry wolf, and he may turn against his master at any time, this Yuan Shu is very clear. But Yuan Shu believes that as long as he is strong enough and has the right means, such a hungry wolf will also be tamed by himself, at least he will not repeat Dong Zhuo's mistakes. And he can't subdue Lu Bu for the time being, and when he dominates the world, what else can Lu Bu think? When the time comes, will it be difficult for Lu Bu to abandon the Han soil and go to a foreign country?
Lu Bu once held great power and was ambitious for the princes, unwilling to surrender? Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu, these are typical examples of the surrender of the princes, although these two did not end well, did the two of them do anything excessive? I really thought that Liu Bei and Cao Cao were dry meals, and they were once the courtiers of the princes, who wouldn't guard against it? Ma Chao once killed Cao Cao who cut his robe and cut off his beard, and Zhang Xiu even killed Cao Cao's eldest son and beloved general Dian Wei, what was the result? Lu Bu's current situation, if Yuan Shu does not surrender, will it be better to surrender his current enemy, Cao Cao? Or will Lu Bu be full of discipline and choose to self-immolate and die like Gongsun Zhan?
Yuan Shu has always been at odds with Lu Bu, on the one hand, to contain Cao Cao, and on the other hand, to allow this tiger to defect to himself when he is cornered.
"Lu Bu is an extremely sharp double-edged sword, whether it is sheathed, shelved or held in his hand, it is better than leaving it to Cao Cao, a hero." Yuan Shu's eyes condensed slightly, and he looked to the west: "What's more, there is a broader battlefield outside the Han Dynasty." Lu Bu was able to fight with the Southern Xiongnu in the frontier for the people of Bingzhou and fight for the country, and he still had national righteousness in his heart. Maybe he will be capricious in the civil war of the princes of the world now, but put him on the frontier, this tiger can't be treasonous! ”
The Han Dynasty has decayed, but there is one thing left behind that Yuan Shu admires very much, and that is national pride.
Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away! The Han Dynasty was extremely domineering, disdainful of other countries, and full of pride. The slightest bit of blood will not be treason to the enemy, of course, there are also people like Zhongxingyue, but Yuan Shu didn't believe that a proud person like Lu Bu would choose to surrender to those barbarians.
"Who does the lord want to bring with him this time to send troops to Yuzhou?" Tian Feng asked.
"Liu Bei's attack on Yanzhou is almost desperate, there are not many troops left in Yuzhou, and there are no generals, so let Sun Jian and Gao Shun send troops with a certain one." Yuan Shu said.
Tian Feng nodded lightly: "Wentai is brave and steady, and it will definitely not make a mistake to lead the troops to attack Yuzhou." ”
Yuan Shu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Wentai is a tiger general in the world, and he has been sitting in Yangzhou for so many years, and he has never complained. Such a tiger will be depressed for several years, and now it is time for him to go out and earn some credit. ”
Sun Jian and Ji Ling were the first team members of Yuan Shu. For these two people, Yuan Shu can be said to trust them and entrust them with important tasks, but because of this, these two people have few records. The soldiers under Yuan Shu's command were all trained and brainwashed by Ji Ling before being sent to various armies. The importance of Ji Ling's responsibilities can be seen. And Sun Jian has always led the army to garrison Yangzhou, the foundation of Yangzhou, for Yuan Shu, and its importance is no less than that of Ji Ling.
Although the two of them have never had any opportunity to lead the troops, so they have not made many meritorious contributions, but the people under Yuan Shu's command know that Yuan Shu values the two of them.
Yuan Shu's trust certainly touched the two, but as a military general, who doesn't want to fight on the battlefield and kill the enemy to make meritorious contributions? The two also have the idea of going out to kill the enemy, but unfortunately there are not many opportunities. This time, many generals under Yuan Shu's command were fighting in various places, and the Central Plains fought frequently, and Jiangdong basically did not need to be garrisoned, so Sun Jian had the opportunity to lead the troops to the battle.
"In addition, inform Wenyuan, Wenyuan and Gongjin in Yingzhou and ask them to immediately prepare to send troops to Liaodong. Since Gongsun Chan traded with our army, it means that the day of the Hebei War is not far off. Yuan Shu said.
"No!"
