Chapter 333: Pacifying Yongzhou

First attached to Ding Yuan, and then voted for Dong Zhuo, the name of Lu Bu's three family slaves has spread all over the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, so once Lu Bu kills Dong Zhuo again, who else in the world will dare to take him in again.

Wei Xu let Lu Bu go it alone, which was actually the reason for implying this, but he didn't explain it.

Lu Bu was shocked, and after thinking about it carefully, indeed, in the current situation, if he betrayed Dong Zhuo, he would have no other choice but to go it alone.

"Okay." Lu Bu gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Kill Dong Zhuo, and his people, control the subordinate land, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if this plan is possible, you are all heroes, and Bu will not treat you badly." ”

Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Hao Meng and others looked at each other, and there was no other way to choose, so they hugged their fists together and said: "We are willing to die for the Lord." ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said: "Right now, Dong Zhuo is bedridden, it is a good opportunity for us to act, I want to send someone to contact the prince and the master, and take Luoyang as an internal response, take Luoyang, and then stabilize the situation in Luoyang in the name of the Son of Heaven, so Dong Zhuo will be defeated." Then, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to reward all the princes of the Kwantung region, so that all the places under the division are owned by me. ”

Wei Xuxi said: "Brother-in-law, that's exactly the case. ”

So, after some discussion, Lu Bu sent Wei Xu back to Luoyang to meet Wang Yun secretly and discuss the matter.

said that Wang Yun thought that Diao Chan was suddenly taken away by Cao Ju, and Lu Bu would hold a grudge against him, but he didn't want Lu Bu to discuss with him about getting rid of Dong Zhuo again, Wang Yun was naturally overjoyed and agreed.

Let's say that when Lu Bu and Wang Yun were making moves here, Cao Ju had already completed the land of Sanfu with lightning speed, and officially included Yongzhou under his territory, which was also the first piece of land laid by Cao Ju after his debut, which had an extremely important impact on Cao Ju's future dominance in the world.

After driving Dong Huang away, Cao Ju immediately went to Jia Xu's mansion and asked him to come out of the mountain to help.

There was already such an agreement between the two, and now Jia Xu also saw Cao Ju's strength and domineering heart, as well as Corporal Lixian's bearing, so naturally he didn't refuse anything, so he accepted the master.

After recognizing the lord, Jia Xu volunteered, saying that he wanted to persuade the 60,000 army to be used by Cao Ju.

Of course, this is good, what Cao Ju lacks most at the moment is not Wenchen, nor military generals, let alone places, but the army, lacking an army that can be invincible with a little rectification. Otherwise, Cao Juxian will be a new recruit and will not be able to form an army in two or three years, which will have a significant impact on his next plan to deal with Xiliang.

Cao Ju was a little worried about Jia Xu's safety, after all, Jia Xu was a top strategist who did not belong to Xi Zhong at all, but Jia Xu was confident.

Cao Ju thought about how Jia Xu had never done anything he was not sure about in history, so he agreed to his request, but also sent Dian Wei and Qin Shao to lead five hundred elites to protect his safety.

Cao Ju's worries were really a bit redundant, with Jia Xu's three-inch incorruptible tongue and the cooperation of Hu Chi'er, the fierce general of Xiliang, Jia Xu easily said that the 60,000 army was loyal to Cao Ju.

Of course, Cao Ju was overjoyed, and after rewarding Jia Xu, he sent four generals, Huang Zhong, Qin Shao, Gan Ning, and Cao Ren, to Longxi, Nan'an, Guangwei, and Anding to take charge of these four armies. At the same time, Cao Ju sent a letter to Han Sui and Ma Teng, saying that he had taken the land of Sanfu and drove away Dong Huang, and the situation in Chang'an had been decided, so he asked Han Sui and Ma Teng to lead the army back to Xiliang.

Han Sui and Ma Teng were naturally furious, the two of them worked in vain, but they helped Cao Ju take Yongzhou, which was equivalent to completely blocking their way out of the east.

Cao Ju invited Han Sui and Ma Teng to send troops, of course, not without any price, not only did he have gold and jewelry gifts, Cao Ju also promised to divide Yongzhou into north and south, South Yongzhou belonged to Cao Ju, and North Yongzhou belonged to Han Sui and Ma Teng.

In order to convince Han Sui and Ma Teng, Cao Ju also added a clause that when Cao Ju took Nanyongzhou and went south to Hanzhong and Yizhou, Han Sui and Ma Teng must send troops to help.

As a result, Han Sui and Ma Teng believed that Cao Ju's purpose was Hanzhong and Yizhou, so they happily sent troops, but they didn't want to make a wedding dress for Cao Ju.

Although Han Sui was angry in his heart, he didn't show it, but Ma Teng was an impatient man, and immediately ordered his subordinates to attack the city, but Cao Ju had already prepared, the Xiliang army was good at cavalry warfare, not good at attacking the city, just attacked for half a day, and suffered heavy casualties, Ma Teng had no choice but to order the army to retreat.

Han Sui was much more insidious than Ma Teng, wrote a letter, sent someone to Luoyang, and agreed with Dong Zhuo that once the Central Plains was over and Dong Zhuo's troops sent to Chang'an, he and Ma Teng were willing to help each other, attack the east and west, and break Cao Ju together.

If it was before, Dong Zhuo would definitely not agree to Han Sui and Ma Teng, because he had always regarded the two as his subordinates.

But now that Yongzhou is occupied by Cao Ju, his connection with Liangzhou has been cut off, Han Sui and Ma Teng have the intention of self-reliance, and Dong Zhuo agreed to unite with him, which is equivalent to admitting the control of Liangzhou by the two. Dong Zhuo also understands this truth, but he now has the Kwantung Coalition Army in the east and Cao Ju's army in the west, and it is time to need an ally.

After replying to Han Sui, Dong Zhuo gritted his teeth and said: "Han Sui, Ma Teng, after Cao Ju is destroyed, he will definitely not forgive you and the other for their sins." ”

Li Ru listened and frowned secretly, he could see the current situation, Dong Zhuo's glorious time had passed, and now it was going downhill, and it was estimated that it would not take a few years for Dong Zhuo's era to completely pass.

This time, the princes are discussing Dong, although it is not completely over yet, but it is not far from the curtain.

Dong Zhuo lost Yongzhou and was cut off from Liangzhou, which was the worst loss. As for the alliance of princes, they did not take any advantage, and they also lost their troops. As long as Cao Ju is alone, he completely took advantage of it and suddenly became the master of Yongzhou.

This is not counting, the most important thing is that when Cao Ju left Luoyang, he took away the abolished emperor Liu Bian and the abolished empress dowager He Wan, as well as the jade seal of the country, which is the biggest resource in Cao Ju's hands.

Liu Xie, the son of heaven in Dong Zhuo's hands, was established after Dong Zhuo abolished Liu Xian, and the princes used this as an excuse to discuss Dong, so the recognition of Liu Xie in the world was not high.

But Liu Bian ascended the throne and became the emperor with the support of the general He Jin after the death of Emperor Ling, which is recognized by the whole world, so once Cao Ju supported Liu Bian to ascend the throne again, Liu Xie's usefulness in Dong Zhuo's hands was too little.

Therefore, after pacifying Yongzhou, the first thing Cao Ju had to do was to firmly control the military power of Yongzhou in his own hands, and the second thing was naturally to support Liu Bian to ascend the throne as emperor again.

Liu Wei ascended the throne again, He Wan was still the queen mother, and Cao Ju naturally became a general.
