Chapter 0156 - Finding Self-Esteem Than Intelligence
When they received the appointment documents from the imperial court, Liu Mang, the eldest grandson Wuji and others had already analyzed Dong Zhuo's intentions.
Liu Mang was mentally prepared that if he did not express his stance and belonged to Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo would definitely not order Wang Rou to be dismissed. In this way, he, the Taiyuan county guard ordered by the imperial court, is only in name.
As stipulated by the system, if you can't really control Taiyuan County, this county guard is meaningless.
This is an era in which strength speaks and strength grabs territory. With Liu Mang's current strength, it is not a problem to forcibly take Jinyang and replace Wang Rou.
However, although Wang Rou is cowardly, she is quite virtuous. To forcibly seize Jinyang and Taiyuan is to bear the notoriety of bullying honest people and bullying sages.
This is exactly what Dong Zhuo wants, and it is also what Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang hope will happen. As long as Liu Mang sent troops to forcibly take Jinyang, Yuan Shao and Zhang Yang had the reason to "Xingyi Division" and seized Jinyang in the name of sending troops to help the war.
Of course Liu Mang will not be stupid, not to mention, Liu Mang is surrounded by Liu Bowen, Changsun Wuji and a group of other people, these people are unknown in this era, but in later generations, they are all top bull breakers!
Especially the eldest grandson Wuji, in his previous life, he was a confidant of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and he was the best at scheming. Dong Zhuo's hidden tricks may be able to hide from others, but he can't hide from him. Including the strategy to deal with Dong Zhuo, it also comes from the eldest grandson Wuji.
However, dealing with Dong Zhuo, it also closed the door for Liu Mang's grandiose entry into Taiyuan.
You can't take it over justifiably, and you can't take it by force, so you can only find another good way.
"Young master, you don't have to be particular about details to achieve great things." The eldest grandson Wuji cautioned cautiously.
Liu Mang knew what he was referring to, that is, to send someone to kill Wang Rou!
Li Yan, Yan Qing and others, who were sent to Jinyang, collected a lot of information. Among them, there is the details of Wang Rou. Wang Rou is old, and in the medicine he is taking, he can be put to death without knowing it.
As long as Wang Rou dies, Liu Mang can rightfully accept Taiyuan. As for Zhang Yang of the Shangdang, after all, he was only the Taiyuan county guard appointed by Yuan Shao, and without the appointment of the imperial court, he would not be able to get the support of the great righteousness.
It's not that Liu Mang hasn't thought of this method. But framing innocent people is too despicable. Moreover, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and it is difficult not to expose this kind of thing.
Moreover, even if it is done seamlessly, it is inevitable that the world will doubt it. Wang Rou's death, the most direct beneficiary is himself. Even if there is no evidence, the world will suspect itself. This is extremely detrimental to future development.
Liu Mang didn't want to take the advice of the eldest grandson Wuji, and at the same time, he also re-examined the eldest grandson Wuji.
A literati who is good at scheming, and he acts ruthlessly, and he is not inferior to the fierce generals who charge into battle!
It's no wonder that the eldest grandson Wuji in his previous life was the main mastermind of Li Shimin's Xuanwumen Change! Since he can help the master in the previous life plot to kill the master's own brother, then helping the current master plot to kill Wang Rou, who is in the way, is really a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning for the eldest grandson Wuji.
However, Liu Mang did not blame the eldest grandson Wuji for his ruthlessness.
Over the past year or so, Liu Mang has experienced too much, both militarily and politically, and has encountered too many dangers and conspiracies.
Liu Mang is not good at power scheming, he just needs a talent like Changsun Wuji, and in the struggle for power, he will be a ruthless strongman.
Forcibly taking Jinyang with troops lost the hearts of the people. The conspiracy to assassinate Wang Rou is a loss of morality.
There is another way, that is, to wait for Wang Rou to die of old age......
But what if they don't die? Moreover, Dong Zhuo was already extremely resentful of Liu Mang, just because it was his idea to promote Liu Mang, he couldn't slap himself in the face and revoke his appointment immediately. But if it drags on for a long time, Dong Zhuo will find an excuse to revoke the appointment, and at that time, there will be no reason to want to enter Taiyuan again.
The matter of entering Taiyuan has reached a stalemate.
"Summoning Li Gongzi back."
Li Yan was familiar with the situation in Bingzhou and had done a lot of work in Jinyang, so Liu Mang could only hope for Li Yan and hope that he would have a better idea.
……
When waiting for Li Yan to return north, the system was finally updated.
Scratch through the system, and there is a series of reminders of updated content.
It seems that this time the system has undergone a major version upgrade, and there are several pop-ups just by updating the prompt information.
First, the new talent attribute query function
The last time the 500 package was explained, this time I just added this function and gave a more detailed explanation.
Second, the "intelligence" information of the five measurements is added
This has already been explained last time, but Liu Mang really wants to see how much intelligence these talents have been summoned. In fact, what Liu Mang wants to know most is what level of his intelligence of 56 is compared with his subordinates.
Here are some tips: With a maximum intelligence value of 100, some extremely talented people can break through 100, but not more than 110
Holy!
Liu Mang scolded secretly, so to speak, isn't his intelligence of 56 really mentally retarded?
In this upgrade, the system interface has changed a lot.
The only thing that hasn't changed is the kitsch, scantily clad screen background, oh yes, still the back!
Liu Mang thinks that scissorhands selfies are better than this!
In the lower right corner of the home page of the system, next to the "Star Attributes" button, there is an additional "Talent Attributes" button. Click on, it is the information of all the personnel under him, including special talents, and even Pei Yuanshao, who has surrendered.
What Liu Mang wants to know most is how high Liu Bowen's intelligence is.
Click on Liu Bowen's name to pop up his detailed information, and there is no difference between other information and the prompts given by the system when recruiting. And what almost blinded Liu Mang's eyeballs was Liu Bowen's intelligence value, which reached 107!
It's almost double my intelligence!
Liu Mang sighed for a long time before continuing to look down at the intelligence of the rest of the Wenchen.
From highest to lowest, they are:
Fan Zhongyan 95
The eldest grandson Wuji 93
Wu Yong 92
LI Yan 92
Liu Mang was a little frustrated.
The youngest of these Wenchen is above 90, and his own intelligence of 56 is really shabby!
Hey?
Lao Cheng's intelligence must not be high!
Liu Mang smiled evilly, trying to regain his self-esteem from Cheng Yanjin......
"I've got a wipe!"
This time, Liu Mang really scolded, and even Cheng Biting Jin's intelligence reached 70, 14 points higher than himself!
"How is that possible?" Liu Mang was a little desperate, "Ma Dan, I don't believe it!" That lewd guy must be mentally retarded! ”
Liu Mang nodded hard......
“……”
This time, Liu Mang didn't even have the courage to scold, Shi Qian's intelligence was 81!
"W-How is this possible? How can he be so tall?! Liu Mang really wanted to shout out the theory of system theory, but he was afraid of being ridiculed by him again.
"Forget it, Shi Qian is a thief, his intelligence is not high, and he has been caught and killed a hundred times!"
Liu Mang was crazy.
"Master, I still don't believe it!" Liu Mang searched the list and suddenly found two names. "These two guys must be weaker than me!"
