Lu Bu thought that driving away Li Su and refusing to accept money made his position clear, and he was doing it above board.

But Ding Yuan, who lacked a sense of security, didn't think so: Since Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo's people have an old relationship, if they can't keep it, Lu Bu will abandon me one day. Lu Bu is not his own descendant, he is not his own person, so it is better to prepare early.

People's hearts are like this, tigers don't hurt people, people hurt tigers.

Once the seed of doubt is in the middle and lower, it will grow into a towering tree.

Originally, Lu Bu could control all the soldiers and horses in the state, but under Ding Yuan's multiple arrangements, slowly Lu Bu could mobilize only the soldiers and horses of the headquarters. Ding Yuan's actions made Lu Bu and others angry, which showed that they did not trust themselves. However, Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun all know that this is a very moment, and they train their headquarters with the mentality of not changing and adapting to all changes.

After careful analysis by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, he also knew that he had fallen for Li Su's tricks. Only then did I realize that sometimes the invisible battlefield is more dangerous than the real knife and gun fight.

At this time, the three of them felt that their wisdom was not enough, so they asked Zhang Liao to write a letter to Zhou Yi and ask where everyone should go in the current situation.

Although the combat power of the Bingzhou Army has been greatly reduced, it is still unrealistic for Dong Zhuo to want to eat the Bingzhou Army. However, Dong Zhuo wanted to be a monopoly too much, so he ordered to continue to transfer troops from Liangzhou to Luoyang.

The courtiers strongly objected, but Dong Zhuo ignored it and insisted on going his own way.

This is really a show to meet the soldiers, and it is unreasonable to say.

Dong Zhuo was also helpless, since the moment he led his troops into Luoyang, he already knew that there was no turning back. If you can't get a firm foothold in Luoyang, the end of going back or retreating is death.

When the imperial power is stabilized, the new regime will take the first shot. The previous behavior can be regarded as a big rebellion, and the entire Xiliang Group will push Dong Zhuo upward, and he can't retreat if he wants to.

At this time, Dong Zhuo's subordinates were full of talents, including Li Ru, Jia Xu, Hua Xiong, and Xu Rong. The entire Xiliang Group wants to take a step closer and enter the center, who doesn't know the prosperity of the Central Plains. No one wants to deal with the savage-like Qiang people in the poor, remote Liangzhou all year round.

In the past two days in Luoyang City, many generals in the army have been blinded and dazzled by the fancy world of Luoyang City. Forgetting his duty, where is the glory of a warrior. arrogant and domineering, making a mess of Luoyang City.

It is impossible for the ministers of the DPRK and China to watch the Xiliang army go down day by day, but Dong Zhuo does not control the Xiliang army, and the people of the entire Luoyang City are boiling. Originally, Ding Yuan could also control the Xiliang Army, but recently Ding Yuan has also become a shrunken turtle, which makes the ministers a little unbearable.

The ministers of the three dukes discussed secretly and agreed that only Zhou Yi of Youzhou could have troops to balance Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan now. The army of the Central Plains was vulnerable, and it was not at all an opponent of the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army. The Youzhou Army also fights all year round, and has been fighting with the Hu people for many years, and is the most capable of fighting with the Xiliang Army and the Bingzhou Army.

So Liu Yu's eldest son, Liu He, took the letters from Liu Yu and Lu Zhi to Zhou Yi for help, hoping that Zhou Yi could send troops to solve Luoyang's predicament. After Zhou Yi received the letter, he thought about it and ordered someone to find Liu Bei.

"Mujun, is there anything you want me to do? I'm still busy there, and our new sailboat is going to sea in the next two days, and I can't leave it. Liu Bei asked when he came in. Since last year, Zhou Yi has asked Liu Bei to gather a large number of shipbuilding craftsmen, and under Zhou Yi's suggestion, it seems that the manufacture of improved sailboats is about to produce results.

"Seeing that you are busy, of course there are more important things to look for you. You can put aside the shipbuilding business for a while and leave it to your subordinates to do. Lu Shangshu and Liu Taiwei jointly sent a letter, Luoyang has changed, and we have to make a contribution in Youzhou. Look at this epistle first. After speaking, Zhou Yi handed over the letter to Liu Bei, and then turned to Liu He and said:

"I already understand the situation in Luoyang, and even if I lead the troops there, it will only add to the chaos. In the matter of Luoyang, Xuande is more suitable than me. ”

"Zhou Mujun, Xuande?" When Liu He heard that he wanted Liu Bei to relieve the siege, he showed a hesitant look on his face, is Liu Bei okay?

"Liu Bei is a high-ranking disciple of Lu Shangshu, and he also represents our Youzhou. What's more, Liu Bei is a relative of the Liu family, and you can ask your father for confirmation of this. Liu Bei's multiple identities will form a buffer zone before multiple forces. This trip to Luoyang is indeed more suitable for Liu Bei than me. If I go to be sensitive to my identity and can only lead troops to suppress it strongly, don't you think there are not enough soldiers in Luoyang? Zhou Yi explained.

"Since this is the case, then dare to ask the prince, how many soldiers and horses is Liu Bei going to bring here?" Liu Heyou asked.

"One person is enough!" Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"Alone?"

"Am I alone?"

The question in front is of course Liu He, and the question in the back is Liu Bei's.

"It is true that Liu Bei alone is enough, and there are ready-made soldiers and horses in Luoyang." Zhou Yi swore that he said. Please two days Zhou Yi just received a letter from Zhang Liao, and before he could reply, Liu He came over. Zhang Liao asked Zhou Yi what he thought of the Luoyang form and how the state army should choose.

"Luoyang's soldiers and horses? Do we still have soldiers and horses in Luoyang City? Liu Bei couldn't believe it.

"This time you went to Luoyang to borrow troops, borrow troops from Bingzhou, and also borrow troops from Xiliang. Later, I will give you three letters, and you will bring Lu Bu from the state, the Wuhuan general in the Xiliang Army, and Guan Yu in the Xiyuan Army. At the same time, you must also make good use of your status as a clan member of the Han family to resolve the contradictions between all parties. This is the only place to go to Luoyang. "Zhou Yi really wants to borrow soldiers.

The soldiers and horses that Zhou Yi wanted to borrow, Lu Bu's Bingzhou Army, Guan Yu's and Cao Cao's Xiyuan Army, and the Wuhuan cavalry brought by Dong Zhuo, Wuhuan's general Zhou Yi knew and was captured by Zhou Yi. If the tribe of Wuhuan on the border of Youzhou is threatened, at least the Wuhuan people can be made not to help each other. If the imperial court can make an order to let Huangfu Song, who guards the imperial mausoleum, come back and lead these armies, it will not be a problem to fight against Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo. The Wuhuan cavalry should be honest under Huangfu Song, and Huangfu Song led the Wuhuan people to quell the chaos in Liangzhou before.

After Zhou Yi made a series of arrangements, and explained to Liu Bei alone, Liu Bei followed Liu He to Luoyang.

The chaos is coming, and the situation in Luoyang depends on how it develops downward. Zhou Yi tried his best to do it, wanted to resolve the predicament in Luoyang, and worked together with many parties. Zhou Yi's most important thing now is to stabilize Youzhou, complete the integration of Youzhou's resources, and make preliminary preparations for more than a year, and it is time to close the network and see results.

Zhou Yi looked at Liu Bei's distant back and thought.

Youzhou has developed well in the past year or so, and the bureaucratic system left by Liu Yu is still good, and it is enough to maintain Youzhou's administrative work on the surface. Zhou Yi focused on building schools, training the army, searching for minerals, and improving technology.

Under Cai Yong's call, Youzhou government-run school ushered in a group of students. The government-run school does not teach everyone to "care about it", nor does it teach everyone to "talk about celebrities and scholars", let alone "raising hope in the countryside". Only practical life skills such as reading and literacy, arithmetic and business are taught.

Let Cai Yong scold Zhou Yi for being a liar, so what, Youzhou is now up to me. As for how to say it, of course, it is the result of a day and a night of debating with Cai Yong.

This is a crash course, and it takes more than a year to train one student after another. These students have the talent to continue their studies, and more untalented students are flooded with restaurants, chambers of commerce and other places in Youzhou. This will become Zhou Yi's team in the future.

Zhou Yi wanted to prepare for the martial arts, but the time was not ripe. One is that there are no teaching materials, and the other is that there are no suitable students. I can only talk about it later.

Tai Shici also came to Youzhou Mansion, so that Zhou Yi added 5,000 sailors after having a standing army of 20,000.

Along with this came the requirement for a battleship, and Zhou Yi concentrated on improving the sailboat with the craftsmen. Of course, Zhou Yi only proposed the direction, and it was more the efforts of the craftsmen. It did not go beyond the technology of this era, but only made the original technology more effective.

There are two technical routes, one is the accumulation of quantity, and the other is the transformation of quality. Now the accumulation of quantity is done through continuous trial and error.

The prospecting team of Youzhou Mansion also found out that there were indeed mines in several places designated by Zhou Yi, and the samples had been brought back to Zhou Yi to see, which had the value of development. Only when the conditions are ripe and the technology is completed, it can be developed.

Rice from the south has not been transplanted successfully in the northeast, and the varieties are different and not cold-tolerant. On the one hand, Zhou Yi asked people to continue experimenting with the cultivation of cold-tolerant varieties, and on the other hand, he hoped that a caravan would bring back rice seeds from Hokkaido.

All in all, it has been a busy year for Zhou Yi, but there is a reward for what you pay, and there is a reward for how much you pay.

Cai Yan has fully adapted to the identity of the hostess of the Youzhou Shepherd's Mansion, and has taken care of the Shepherd's Mansion inside and out in an orderly manner. Zhou Yi looked at his daughter who was growing up day by day, from calling "Dad" to running all over the ground, and felt happy from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Bei entered Luoyang alone and was warmly welcomed by the Han clan headed by Liu Yu. As soon as Liu Bei arrived in Luoyang, he directly recruited Lu Bu and Xiliang's Wuhuan cavalry, which directly injured the arrogant Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan.

After checking the genealogy, Liu Bei is indeed the great-great-grandson of Emperor Jing and the uncle of the young emperor Liu Bian. Nominally, the royal family finally had their own troops, forming a third military force in addition to the Liangzhou Army and the Bingzhou Army. So Liu Yu went to the table of the young emperor, in the name of the royal family. Canonized Liu Bei as General Zuo, Marquis of Yicheng Pavilion.

As a result, Luoyang City had the original two-strong rivalry and turned into a three-legged force.

The imperial court wanted to enable Huangfu Song, but unfortunately the last imperial order given by Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty before his death was to let Huangfu Song Yongzhen Emperor's Mausoleum. As long as the Han court is still there, no one dares to disobey the will of the emperor. Huangfu Song could not go out of the mountain, but it was a big loss for the imperial court.

Liu Hong can also be regarded as digging his own grave, is he afraid of the emperor Fu Songgong, the town lord? Or are you afraid that someone will dig up the grave?

The emperor's mind is really hard to guess, and he can't understand it even after guessing.
