Once a son of heaven and a courtier, after Lu Bu was named a general, the governor of the world soldiers and horses, squeezed out the old department of Xiliang, for Dong Yue, Niu Fu, Li Ru, Dong Huang, Dong Yu, these relatives of Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu is both to use and prevent, so he can't be used.

Xu Rong was the first to belong to Lu Bu, and Xu Rong had the talent of a general, comparable to Han Xin in the past, he ordered Xu Rong to lead an army of 100,000 troops, and stationed troops in Huayin, Mianchi, and Anyi, beware of the Eastern Han Dynasty court taking the opportunity to send troops out of Guguan to attack.

Subsequently, Lu Bu sent someone to surrender Han Sui, appointed Han Sui as the Taishou of Jincheng, the general of Zhenxi, and copied Ma Teng's lair, Han Sui and Ma Teng had an old relationship, and could not bear to kill Ma Teng's wife, children and mother, and secretly let him enter Hanzhong and go to Luoyang to join Ma Teng.

Lü Bu appointed Chen Gong as Shang Shuling, and the Eastern Han Dynasty government affairs were all under Shang Shutai, and its chief official Shang Shuling belonged to the Shaofu in the system, with a rank of only a thousand stones, and was actually directly responsible to the emperor and had general power. This also means that Lu Bu firmly holds the military and political power in his own hands.

At the suggestion of Lu Bu, the imperial court named Li Su as the general of the chariot cavalry, ruling Jinwu, Su Hou, responsible for guarding the palace, from Li Su, Lu Bu learned that Jia Xu suggested that Niu Fu send troops to Chang'an, and sent someone to test Jia Xu, found that Jia Xu was a great talent, and then recruited Jia Xu into the palace and served as the general's mansion to engage in Langzhong.

Niu Fu and others were all appointed as generals and held the position of Jiuqing in the court, although the position was high, but the military power was gradually deprived by Lu Bu.

Lu Bu also wooed Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and asked Liu Xie to order, Feng Yizhou Mu Liu Yan as the king of Hanzhong, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao as the king of Chu, Liu Yan's Yizhou and Chang'an are close to each other, on the one hand, he was afraid that Lu Bu would send troops to attack Hanzhong, on the other hand, he had the heart of the Han Dynasty, and he gladly accepted the prince, which was regarded as a recognition of the Western Han court.

Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao also expressed gratitude, held a grand ceremony in Xiangyang, officially entered the title of King of Chu, for Gao Shun and the state, Lu Bu also tried his best to woo Gao Shun, named Gao Shun as a hussar general, only under Lu Bu, and named him the Marquis of Jin, the land of five original counties of Shiyi.

And the original Duliao general Guan Yu was also named the general of the chariot cavalry by Lu Bu, and was allowed to open the mansion, responsible for guarding the north, and strictly guarding against the Xianbei Xiongnu aliens.

After completely controlling the 200,000 Xiliang army, Lü Bu ordered Chen Gong to sit in Chang'an, let Xu Rong strictly guard against the Kwantung princes, stabilize his rear, and personally lead the army to conquer the counties of Liangzhou.

Lu Bu also knows his own shortcomings, without the help of the family, even if Liangzhou is a big country, he has to rely on the local scholars to govern, so he has promoted the major families in Liangzhou, such as the Suo family in Dunhuang, the Gai family, the Linghu family, the Jiuquan Huang family, the Wuwei Jia family, the Cao family, the Fu family of Beidi County, the Jincheng Ju family, etc., these families are all big families in the counties of Liangzhou, and they are also famous in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In order to prevent these families from not listening to the decrees of the central court, Lu Bu selected children from these families to enter Chang'an to serve as Yulin Lang and become the guards of His Majesty the Emperor.

Lü Bu recruited local soldiers in Liangzhou and trained them into an army, including Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan and Yang Qiu.

After Lu Bu returned to Chang'an again, he already had an army of 500,000, and these 500,000 were only the soldiers of the commander's mansion, excluding the rest of the soldiers and horses in the court, the entire Chang'an, plus the soldiers and horses defending the city, had at least 700,000 troops, and with the addition of the county soldiers in Liangzhou, it can be said that it was not difficult for Lu Bu to recruit a million soldiers and horses in an instant.

After Lü Bu returned to Chang'an, his prestige grew, and he accepted Chen Gong's suggestion to temporarily move his troops, rest with the people, vigorously develop internal affairs, and prepare to wait for an opportunity.

At this time, a man named Liu Bei came to Chang'an, and after he proclaimed himself King Jing of Zhongshan, he was followed by his two brothers.

In Chang'an City, there are still loyal ministers of the Han family, not to mention anything else, just say Zongzheng Liu Song, Liu Song is the son of Liu Kuan, Liu Kuan's character is Rao. A native of Huayin County, Hongnong County. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was a famous minister and a clan. The fifteenth grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and the son of Situ Liu Qi.

Liu Kuan successively served as General Peng, Situ Changshi, Donghai Xiang, Shang Shuling, Nanyang Taishou and other positions. He is based on forgiveness and is called an elder by people at home. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was recruited as a doctor in Taizhong and lectured in Huaguang Palace. Later, he was transferred to Shizhong, Tun Cavalry Captain, Zongzheng, and Guangluxun.

In the fifth year of Xiping, he was appointed as a lieutenant on behalf of Xu Xun, and later was exempted due to a solar eclipse and worshiped the captain. In the second year of Guanghe, Duan Cheng was re-elected as a captain. He has been in office for three years and is exempt due to a solar eclipse. Worship Yongle Shaofu again, move Guangluxun. At the beginning of exposing the Yellow Turban, Liu Kuan contributed a lot, so he was named the Marquis of Lu. In the second year of Zhongping, Liu Kuan died at the age of sixty-six. Posthumously presented to the general of the car cavalry, the special advance, nicknamed "Zhaolie".

After Liu Kuan's death, Liu Song has been an official in Luoyang, after Dong Zhuo moved the capital, Liu Song served as Zongzheng, because he did not participate in the conspiracy of Wang Yun and others, so he was spared from embarrassment and survived, but now Lu Bu's prestige is growing, Liu Song is also very anxious, and it just so happened that at this time a person named Liu Bei pierced him.

After Liu Bei met Liu Song and claimed that he was the King of Zhongshan Jing, after a detailed chat, Liu Song felt that Liu Bei was loyal to the Han family, had great talents, and the two brothers around him would never be very good, so he moved to recommend him to Liu Xie.

Hearing Liu Song ask about the two brothers beside him, Liu Bei said proudly: "Liu Zongzheng, the one on the left is my second brother Wenpin, and the one on the right is my third brother Wei Yan. ”

"Good, good, good!" After hearing this, Liu Song praised and said: "Xuande, the three of you are all talented, I want to recommend you to Your Majesty, but now all the military and political power in the court is controlled by Lu Bu, and the palace is Lu Bu's eyes and ears, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, you live in my mansion and wait for the opportunity." ”

"I don't dare to ask for ears!" With the step of advancement, Liu Bei ignited a raging fighting spirit.

It turned out that after Liu Bei was cheated by Su Chen, he fled to the south and got acquainted with Wei Yan, and with his ability, he easily won the favor of the two, especially when Wei Yan learned that he was a member of the royal family and wanted to climb the high branches, and the three of them became brothers.

Originally, Liu Bei didn't dare to come out under the banner of a descendant of the royal family, but if there is chaos today, there are two emperors and two imperial courts in the Han Dynasty, he feels that no one will investigate his identity in detail now, especially the chaotic Chang'an court, so he came to Chang'an to seek officials, not to mention, he came at the right time.
