Lu Bu snorted coldly: "Ben Hou has no interest in who is sitting on the throne of the emperor in Jingzhou now. ”

Zhang Mao's expression froze slightly, Lu Bu was talking about the emperor of Jingzhou, not the emperor of the Han Dynasty, it can be seen that Lu Bu does not recognize the status of the Jingzhou royal family, and it is also true that the same thing is placed on him, and he will also complain.

"General, people are not sages and sages, when the general was in Xiangyang, the Cai family was also very helpful, and I hope that the general will help him in the past and the Cai family, if things can be done, the general can be the king of Jin." Zhang Maodao.

Hearing these words, the corners of Jia Xu's eyes kept shaking, from Zhang Mao's rhetoric, we can see how weak the Han is today, in order to win over the princes, he even promised the throne, since Gaozu, but whenever there is a king with a different surname, he will be attacked by the people of the world, of course, the temptation to become a king is also huge, and there is an essential difference between the king and the marquis.

The king has absolute dominion over his rule, and even the royal family cannot interfere in the affairs of the land, and the king can have his own army.

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "Mrs. Zhang often said this, but he wanted to push Ben Hou to the cusp, to be the king, Ben Hou never thought about it, support Liu Cong, and let Ben Hou think about it before making a decision." ”

For the Jingzhou royal family, Lu Bu is not eye-catching, mainly through the news from Yanzhou Xizuo, Cao Cao has the intention of supporting Liu He, once Cao Cao supports Liu He in Yanzhou, it is conceivable how turbulent it will be in the world, and the last trace of face of the Han family will be gone.

"The safety of the Han family depends on the general." Zhang Mao saluted again.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, but he didn't say too much, at this time, Bingzhou was already in the wind, and it was necessary to take a certain risk when it was mixed into the affairs of Jingzhou, after all, the emperor of the Han family at this time was Liu Qi, and if he supported Liu Cong, if he succeeded, he would be able to get certain benefits, and if he failed, he would have to bear infamy.

Being in a certain position requires consideration of all aspects.

Lu Bu's attitude made Zhang Mao deeply worried, if he couldn't get Lu Bu's support, the situation was extremely unfavorable for Liu Cong, the literati criticized Lu Bu, but they couldn't ignore the energy contained in Lu Bu, especially in the recent period, Youzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou and Chang'an conscripted troops, which made the princes have a feeling of shock.

In the battle of Huguan, Lu Bu had already shown the strong combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou army, when the Youzhou army was not even mobilized, and the Youzhou army defeated the Cao army and the Jiangdong army, and the Youzhou army had made great achievements on the battlefield, and no one dared to ignore the strength of the Youzhou army at such a time.

Zhang Mao decided to walk around the high-level of Bingzhou, if he could persuade the important officials under Lu Bu, it would be a good way.

In the afternoon, Zhang Mao went to Li Su's mansion, perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, since Lu Bu had Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Gu Yong and others, the importance of Li Su has decreased a lot, but Zhang Mao does not think so.

As the strategist who originally followed Lu Bu, Li Su had a high status in Lu Bu's heart, although he didn't know what Li Su was responsible for in Bingzhou, it was expected to be very important.

The ability of a strategist or official is important, but sometimes the monarch cares more about the loyalty of his subordinates, and only a loyal subordinate can make the monarch feel at ease.

Li Su was a little puzzled about Zhang Mao's visit, it is said that Lu Bu did not agree to Jingzhou's proposal for the time being, even if Zhang Mao was walking around in Bingzhou, he should go to Jia Xu's place.

In the face of Zhang Mao, Li Su can't find fault with etiquette, no matter what, Zhang Mao is too often in the Han family, ranking one of the nine Qings, and he was a pivotal official in the past, of course, what is the situation of the Han family today, people with a little vision can see clearly, these official positions have become a means for the Han family to win over the princes, as long as there is enough strength, you can get official positions.

After sitting down, Li Su smiled and said: "The humble house is simple, which makes Mrs. Zhang laugh often." ”

Zhang Mao arched his hand and said: "As a high-ranking official under the command of the Marquis of Jin, Lord Li can still be so frugal, and I admire him. ”

Entering Li Su's mansion, it did give Zhang Mao a great touch, Li Su's status in Bingzhou is definitely very high, the mansion looks solemn from afar, but after entering the mansion, it is not as luxurious as imagined, even the mansions of some officials in Jingzhou are not as good as the prosperity of Jinyang, and today everyone knows that as a high-ranking official in Bingzhou, Li Su wants to make the mansion more luxurious, it is a very simple thing, maybe as long as it reveals a trace of meaning, it can make the officials below flock to it.

"The Marquis of Jin once said that no matter how luxurious the mansion is, the rest place is just a house, no matter how luxurious it is, as long as you feel comfortable." Li Su said.

"The words of the Marquis of Jin are very true, if all the officials of the Han Dynasty can be like Lord Li, then the Han family can also prosper."

Knowing that Zhang Mao was sycophant, Li Su also felt relieved, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhang often comes to the cold house, there must be something important, right?" ”

"Lord Li, and the current situation of the Han family, I think Lord Li has some understanding, Liu Bei holds military power and acts arbitrarily in the Han family, which has caused Han officials to complain, Liu Bei at this time is similar to Dong Zhuo at the beginning." Zhang Mao said: "The Marquis of Jin is the minister of the Han Dynasty, the first emperor is seriously ill, General Cai Mao is under the influence of the Kuai family, sent troops and annexed the state, in fact, the officials of the Han family are opposed to sending troops to attack and annex the state, the Marquis of Jin is the general of the Han Dynasty, in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, at that time to sweep away the Chang'an rebels, what a loyal minister. ”

Li Su secretly sneered, the princes attacked the state, but they were afraid of the strength of the state army, as for what Jingzhou said was favored by the Kuai family, it was completely nonsense, but it was just to find a suitable excuse for the original mistake, and a person with a little vision could judge the truth of these words.

"Mrs. Zhang often says it directly." Li Su said lightly.

"If the general can support the little prince Liu Cong at this time, then the Han family can also prosper, although Liu Qi is the eldest prince, he is overly drunk, and he is addicted to wine all day long. Zhang Mao said in a low voice, Liu Qi once had a conflict with Lu Bu because of the daughter of the Qiao family, and this matter is a good starting point, which can definitely mobilize the resentment of the state officials.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhang Mao's words, Li Su's eyes narrowed slightly, and he kept thinking about what kind of impact it would have if he supported Liu Cong.
