When Liu Zhang was developing steadily, the war was still raging in various parts of the Central Plains.

Last month, seeing that the front-line generals in Huguan had never been able to break the deadlock, Yuan Shao had personally gone to Huguan to supervise the battle. After arriving at the front line, Yuan Shao scolded the generals and then ordered the 150,000 troops on the front line to launch wave after wave of crazy attacks on Lü Bu's army. However, Lu Bu's army occupied a favorable location and was condescending, and the corpses of Yuan Shaojun who were killed with waves of arrows were all over the field.

However, although Lu Bu won consecutive battles, he did not dare to be careless, Yuan Shao deployed 150,000 elite soldiers in Huguan, and he could only use a fraction of Yuan Shao's battle in Huguan - 50,000 people, fortunately, as a defensive side, his troops occupied the dangerous pass of Huguan, otherwise Lu Bu would have been driven across the Yellow River. What's even worse is that the front line reported that Yuan Shaojiu had already begun to plan to increase troops in Yanmen, threaten Taiyuan, an important tax town for Lu Bu, and force him to send troops from Huguan to defend Taiyuan. Previously, Yuan Shao's troops were contained by Gongsun Zhan, Kong Rong, and Lu Bu, and he also had to guard against Cao Cao, who was across the river, and had no extra troops to implement this plan, but Yuan Shao, who had already drawn his hands from Gongsun Zan and Kong Rong, had sufficient troops to reinforce Yanmen, Anxiang, and Yunzhong. Once Yuan Shao divides his troops to attack Taiyuan, it is impossible to block it with Taiyuan's current strength, if Taiyuan is conquered by Yuan Shao, it will be meaningless to hold on to Huguan, not to mention that when the time comes, it will face a two-sided attack, and Huguan will inevitably be lost ten times more dangerously. Everyone knows that Taiyuan must be increased immediately to resist Yuan Shao's attack, otherwise once Taiyuan is lost, which can be said to be related to the life and death of the Lu Bu Group, then the Lu Bu Group will not be far from destruction, but how to save it? He has long had no troops to send in his hands!

In the early days of the Dynasty, Lu Bu reported the matter to Emperor Xian, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officers heard that they had mixed feelings in their hearts, and some people were worried that Lu Bu would lose power, and whether their power and status could be maintained; Some people have a deep personal grudge with Yuan Shao, once Yuan Shao invades Luoyang, I am afraid that his life will not be guaranteed; Some people have always been secretly in contact with Yuan Shao, and after hearing about this, they couldn't help but be secretly happy, thinking about how to help Yuan Shao, so that Yuan Shao could break the pot pass and trap Luoyang as soon as possible; There were also people who were loyal to Lu Bu who immediately began to rack their brains to think of a way to save them......

Emperor Xian, who was kneeling on the throne, watched all this coldly, and as he grew up, he already understood what reality was. Didn't put him in his hand one by one drooling and regarded him as a fragrant bait, full of loyalty to the monarch to serve the country, never give up, but once he snatched him, he immediately turned into a tiger and a wolf, nominally obeyed him as the emperor, but in fact put him on the shelf, sat up the emperor with peace of mind, and if he can do is to agree when the other party makes any request, and cover the jade seal on the holy decree prepared by the other party, and from time to time praise the other party in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, if there is a slight violation, it is small to be reprimanded by the palace, angered the other party, and the other party followed Dong Zhuo's treatment of the young emperor, and it was just a trivial matter for a glass of dove wine to kill him. Even if Liu Zhang, who had high hopes for the emperor before, his imperial uncle, in his opinion, is actually no different from Lu Bu and Yuan Shao, looking at the various policies and reforms implemented by this imperial uncle in the Shu Kingdom, which point should a princely kingdom do? It is no exaggeration to say that the brand new country of the Shu Kingdom is no longer a kingdom, and his dear imperial uncle has been committed to building the Shu Kingdom into an empire since the founding of the country, a brand new country ready to replace the Han Empire! If one day, he is left in the hands of his imperial uncle, maybe only the active Zen position can save a small life!

Therefore, he has no interest in the victory or defeat of the battle between Lu and Yuan, and he has already made up his mind to pay attention to being this puppet emperor, and only hopes that no matter who it falls into, the other party will see his identity as the emperor and spare his life for the sake of obedience, and he will be satisfied with spending this life peacefully! In this case, why should he waste this heart, it is better to return to the harem to pamper the concubines and palace maids when he has this time.

"A few days ago, the two palace maids offered by Wang Yunjin were delicate and had a voice like a yellow warbler, and they were ordered to sleep immediately after retiring from the court?" Emperor Xian secretly pondered.

After being noisy for a long time, there was no half a useful way, Lu Bu couldn't help but be furious in his heart, and secretly said: "If you knew this was the case, it would be better to let the big people who raise these wastes raise a few dogs......"

"Your Majesty, the traitor Yuan Shao's fierce flame is in full swing, and the generals will come to Taiyuan in the near future, how to deal with it, please decide Your Majesty!" Lu Bu said loudly.

Lu Bu's words immediately made the noisy hall hear, and everyone looked at Lu Bu tremblingly.

Emperor Xian, who was awakened from his fantasy, did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction with Lu Bu, Wen Yan smiled and said: "Wen Hou is eloquent, far better than Zhang and Han, how can some small things stump Wen Hou?" I'm a little over-charged, so I'll bother Wen Hou to preside over the early dynasty on my behalf! I believe that under the leadership of Wen Hou, Yuan Shao's rebel thief will definitely return. ”

Lu Bu looked at Emperor Xian, who was about to leave, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please slow down, the minister still has something to do!" ”

"Oh, what else is going on with Wen Hou?" Emperor Xian had to sit back on the throne.

"Your Majesty, the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, now Yuan Shao's army of tens of thousands is attacking, Cao Cao in the east is also ready to move, Luoyang's troops are empty, it is difficult to deal with it, if you want to repel Yuan Shao, you must recruit soldiers again to protect the emperor!"

"Oh, how many more soldiers does Wen Hou think should be drafted?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I think I need at least 30,000 people!"

Emperor Xian said without thinking: "Then do it according to Wenhou's wishes!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty! However, the formation of a new army is extremely expensive, and Luoyang Mansion is empty, so I am afraid that I will not be able to take this expense! ”

"How can this be?"

Lu Bu said with great righteousness and awe-inspiring: "Returning to Your Majesty, as a courtier, the minister has always been loyal to Your Majesty, and he will never give up for His Majesty...... The minister is willing to punish himself for half a year for the purpose of forming a new army, please ask Your Majesty's permission! ”

As soon as Lu Bu said this, most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty "chuckled" and shouted, they would not fall for Lu Bu, don't look at Lu Bu's loud words, on the one hand, he showed his loyalty, and on the other hand, he asked for punishment, so he looked like a loyal monarch and a patriot. But the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty don't know that Lu Bu is the emperor in Luoyang City right now, and all their money and harem needs must be received after Lu Bu nods, and now he asks for a fine, but he just hands over the money from his left hand to his right hand, and there will be no loss. But they are different, don't look at their high positions, but the actual rights are not at all, in this era, there is no gray income without rights, even the petty officials who collect taxes in the market have more income than them in a month, they rely on Lu Bu to live with a snort, all rely on that meager money to feed the family, and now Lu Bu is willing to punish himself, so naturally the drunkard does not mean to drink......

Emperor Xian was stunned for a moment and immediately understood Lu Bu's true intentions, now that he understands, it is naturally impossible to oppose what a good puppet should look like, and he must fully support it, only to see Emperor Xian nodding with a smile, looking very pleased, and said: "Okay, good, Aiqing is worthy of being a loyal minister that is rare to see in a hundred years of my Han Dynasty, I have Aiqing to help, why worry about Yuan Shao?" Since the house is empty now, Aiqing voluntarily took out half a year to prepare for the establishment of a new army, this is Aiqing's loyalty, if I stop it, wouldn't it ruin the name of Qing's loyalty? As the emperor, when my Han is in danger, I should share weal and sorrow with all Aiqing and face difficulties together, so let's do it, from today onwards, all the expenses of the harem should be halved, and three meals will be reduced by two...... Until the defeat of Yuan Shao's rebel thief...... However, to form a new army, I am afraid that I and Lu Aiqingqing alone will not be able to do anything, so let's do it, from today on, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces will donate half a year to support the construction of the new army, can Zhong Aiqing have any objections? "Emperor Xian knows very well that Lu Bu's real plan is to be in the hands of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, although Lu Bu can stop issuing everyone's money, and no one can do anything to him, but that will inevitably cause public anger. Now, Lu Bu took the opportunity of building the army to use his own Yulu as bait, and then borrowed the mouth of the emperor to block everyone's mouths with dignified and upright reasons, even if he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to openly express it. Emperor Xian also knew that he supported Lu Bu so much, and Lu Bu would never really reduce his support for the harem afterwards, and Lu Bu was not bad at the harem (yes, that's it, as a puppet, Emperor Xian naturally couldn't have a huge palace complex, groups of eunuchs and waiters, and countless beauties waiting for Lin Xing like his ancestors...... All he has is a palace left after the Luoyang fire and a total of no more than fifty eunuchs, concubines, and maids), and secondly, Lu Bu will not destroy the "friendly" relationship between the two for this little flower.

Seeing that Emperor Xian was still waiting for their reply, even if everyone was unwilling in their hearts, they had to "obey the order", didn't see that even His Majesty the Emperor began to "cut back on food and clothing" to support the establishment of the new army? At this time, you dare to object, what are your thoughts?

Emperor Xian smiled and left; Lu Bu hastily ended the early dynasty, led a group of henchmen and left with a smile, as Lu Bu's henchmen, of course they don't have to worry about whether there will really be no Yu Lu in the next half a year, not to mention that as henchmen, unlike those decorations in the court, even the small colonels patrolling in the city dare to give them faces, as henchmen, they often have great power in their hands, even if they don't have Yu Lu in their lives, as long as Lu Bu is still the master of Luoyang, they can always live an arrogant and lascivious life.
