Chapter 019: Attitude is important
Generally speaking, things like killing people with poisoned alcohol must be done quietly, and after doing it, the clues must be erased so that no one will suspect themselves. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ After all, it's not a glorious thing.
However, Dong Zhuo is not an ordinary person, he is the squad leader of the second class, and he simply ignores the existence of others.
Historically, Dong Zhuo's killing of Liu Bian was to let Li Ru go directly to the place where Liu Bian was under house arrest with poisoned wine, and forced Liu Bian to drink it.
The lord who is prone to making two mistakes will always make his subordinates feel insecure. Lu Bu just saw Dong Zhuo's essence clearly, so when he couldn't continue to pretend to be an ostrich, he decided to make a break with Dong Zhuo as soon as possible, so as not to be taken into the pit by him.
How to make the world see clearly that he and Dong Zhuo are in two camps? The most straightforward way is naturally to rescue Liu Bian! Doing so will make Lu Bu's name spread all over Kyushu soon, which is very valuable and meaningful in the era of relying on fame to eat.
Lu Zhi's strategy for Lu Bu was not complicated, but it grasped the core and the key. Lu Zhi asked Lu Bu to continue to pretend to obey Dong Zhuo, gain Dong Zhuo's greater trust, and then win over the errand of killing the Emperor of the Abolished Emperor! There's nothing wrong with this strategy. Compared with the scribe Li Ru, if Lu Bu took the initiative to kill Liu Bian for Dong Zhuo, wouldn't it be as easy as killing a chicken?
According to Lu Zhi's analysis, the current Gumen is still in the hands of Lu Bu, as long as Lu Bu continues to win the trust of Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo will definitely not hand over the Gumen to others to guard, so when Lu Bu runs away with Liu Bian, there is no need to attack the city gate from the inside, so that the casualties of Lu Bu's troops will naturally be minimized. As for Lu Zhi's face-to-face teaching to Xu Rong, it involves some advance arrangements for specific links, all of which pave the way and assist Lu Bu's main actions.
The plan has been decided, but when to launch it depends on the timing.
In order to avoid Lu Zhi being exposed, Lu Bu quietly sent Lu Zhi out of Luoyang the next night. With the help of scouts outside the city, Lu Zhi crossed the Yellow River safely and connected with Gao Shun's men who had stayed on the other side of the river.
After Lu Zhi left, Lu Bu behaved more actively in front of Dong Zhuo. He asked to see Dong Zhuo, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner that Sikong's position was not suitable for commanding the world's soldiers and horses, and that the imperial court should first add the lord as a captain, and then enter the prince, and finally worship as the prime minister, so that the lord can dominate the military and political power, appoint capable people, and benefit the community.
Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with Lu Bu's persuasion. The three positions proposed by Lu Bu, the Taiwei is in charge of the troops, the Taishi is the head of the hundred officials, and the prime minister is the minister who really controls the real power under the emperor, each of which makes Dong Zhuo's heart itch. Although Lu Bu is not persuaded to enter, Dong Zhuo will get these official positions, but Lu Bu is the first to stand up and persuade him to advance, which is an attitude.
Sometimes, attitude matters.
Dong Zhuo adopted LΓΌ Bu's persuasion, first let the imperial court promote himself to the rank of lieutenant, take charge of the affairs of the former general, command the soldiers and horses of the former general, add the festival and axe, and change the title to Marquis of Yi.
Because of his meritorious persuasion, Lu Bu was appointed by the imperial court as the general of the tiger ben and was crowned the Marquis of Duting. Yang Ding and Xu Rongguan under his command were promoted to one level, and they were respectively crowned as left and right servants, with a rank higher than a thousand stones. The subordinate Hou Cheng and Xue Languan were promoted to two levels, and they were the left and right Majesty Chiefs, with a rank ratio of 600 stones.
Tiger Ben Zhonglang will lead the Tiger Ben forbidden soldiers, the main guard, the rank is more than 2,000 stones, and most of them are filled by nobles, and they can lead the troops to the battle. It is equivalent to the head of the Central Garrison Regiment in later generations, and is responsible for defending the country's top leaders.
There is no doubt that because of persuasion, Dong Zhuo trusted Lu Bu even more, not only promoted him, but also asked Lu Bu to take on the responsibility of guarding the palace. Because of Lu Bu's identity, it is impossible for Dong Zhuo to make him the commander of his own guards, and serving as the emperor's guard commander is actually a test for Lu Bu.
The emperor is the puppet raised by Dong Zhuo, and Lu Bu is the general appointed by Dong Zhuo, should Lu Bu listen to Dong Zhuo or the emperor?
If according to the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, Lu Bu should naturally listen to the emperor's dispatch. But now is not the time for Lu Bu to show his loyalty, so he chose to follow Dong Zhuo's orders without hesitation, and directly ignored the overtures and wooing of many ministers!
For example, after the fourth and third dukes, Yuan Shao, the lieutenant of the Chinese Military Academy, personally invited Lu Bu to drink in the mansion, but Lu Bu refused in public.
Lu Bu said to Yuan Shao: "The wine in Taiwei's Mansion has a more mellow taste than that in Taifu's Mansion!" "At this time, Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui is the Taifu, Lu Bu said this, which is to tell Yuan Shao unmistakably, I am a Taiwei person, and I don't want to have anything to do with you scholars!
Yuan Shao was rejected in public, and he was furious, pointing at Lu Bu's nose and scolding: "Those who betray the Lord and seek glory must not die well!" "Yuan Shao is making fun of Lu Bu for forgetting the old master Ding Yuan, and now he only knows how to flatter Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu was scolded, but he couldn't bear it, and immediately replied: "The man of tongue has not achieved enough, and there are more failures!" Lu Bu was ridiculing Yuan Shao for his ability to speak his tongue, and he made a mess of the matter of plotting against the eunuchs, and even He Jin was killed by the eunuchs.
was exposed by Lu Bu, Yuan Shao was so angry that he pulled out the long sword at his waist and wanted to fight Lu Bu alone, but Lu Bu refused with a look of contempt and contempt. Lu Bu said: "I have a halberd in my hand, I only kill the enemy general, you are not my opponent, or don't humiliate yourself!" β
Yuan Shao was persuaded away by Cao **'s order, and the scene that happened outside the palace gate quickly reached Dong Zhuo's ears.
Dong Zhuo clapped his palms and laughed, almost laughing out of his eyes. "Haha...... Feng Xian's scolding! These scholars are indeed not enough to succeed and more than to fail! β
Lu Bu rejected the solicitation of the scholar group in public, and naturally became a thorn in the side of the scholars. He is like a loyal dog, firmly guarding the palace, without Dong Zhuo's order, no one can get close, let alone have the opportunity to meet the emperor in private.
Gradually, there were more bad things about Lu Bu in Luoyang City. Lu Bu turned a deaf ear to this, and after Dong Zhuo heard about it, he trusted Lu Bu even more.
On this day, Dong Zhuo sent someone to invite Lu Bu to the Taiwei Mansion and asked Lu Bu with a kind face: "Feng Xian has been in Luoyang for a long time, why don't you see your family?" β
Lu Bu chuckled in his heart, but his face did not change, and he explained to Dong Zhuo: "The family is far away in Wuyuan, Bingzhou, and it is only because the mother is weak and sick, so she stays to take care of it. β
Dong Zhuo nodded, "Oh, I see. Now that you are in Luoyang, there is no one to serve in the room, but it is not a long-term solution. The old man has no good daughters under his knees, but there are still school-age women in the clan, I don't know if Feng Xian is willing to marry her? β
Dong Zhuo has two daughters, who have been married to Niu Fu and Li Ru respectively, and now he wants to be a matchmaker for Lu Bu, and wants to marry a young woman in the Dong clan in Longxi to Lu Bu, and use his in-laws to win over Lu Bu.
When Dong Zhuo asked about Lu Bu's family, Lu Bu's heart was full of lightning, and at this critical time, Lu Bu did not hesitate, immediately showed a look of surprise, and bowed to Dong Zhuo. "If you can marry the daughter of the Dong family, it is really what Bu wants, and everything depends on the lord!"
Dong Zhuo was very satisfied with Lu Bu's attitude, in his opinion, only by marrying Lu Bu could he completely take Lu Bu, a tiger, for his own use. As for accepting Lu Bu as a righteous son, he hadn't thought about it, but it wasn't time yet. This kind of thing, Dong Zhuo couldn't say it first, and Lu Bu took the initiative to bring it up.
Lu Bu is a loyal and righteous man, and he can directly refuse to kill Ding Yuan at the beginning, and he can also directly refuse to be a son. In case it is rejected by Lu Bu, it is a very faceless thing. You don't see, didn't Yuan Shao almost vomit blood by Lu Bu's refusal?
