Above the city, Lu Bu looked at Zhang Yang below, although they were more than twenty zhang away from each other, his eyesight was amazing, and Zhang Yang was right in front of the team and the image of the mustache was very prominent, so he could find it at a glance.

You can vaguely see the other party's gloomy face, which makes Lu Bu laugh, and after laughing, he shouted loudly to the other side: "Uncle Zhang Ya (Uncle Ya, the word of Zhang Yang), this is Xihe County, under the rule of my Lu Fengxian, and now you are blatantly violating the realm, what do you mean?" ”

Zhang Yang was in a bad mood enough, and when he heard Lu Bu's voice again, he was almost annoyed and angry: "Shut up Lu Fengxian, Ding Yuanjun died in your hands, and you still have that cheeky skin, running to entangle me about the siege of the city?" Yes, I am a prisoner, and now I have come to attack the city, and I want to trap you Lu Fengxian in this Pingzhou City, and the state is not owned by you Lu Bu alone, but you wagged your tail from the national thief Dong Zhuo and begged for mercy, seeing that you left Luoyang but turned your back on Dong Zhuo, who gave you wealth and glory, why do you say this now, it is not that you are going to surrender to a certain again, but it is a pity that a certain Uncle Zhang Ya does not have the interest to accept you such a big righteous son, hahaha......"

To be honest, since the rebirth, this is the first time that someone has blatantly mentioned Ding Yuan's death in front of Lu Bu, and it has hit Lu Bu's sore spot so bluntly.

Although it was the sins committed by Lu Bu in the past, but now it is not for him to bear these consequences, and even to really think about it, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and others obey him, it is a relationship that has been cultivated over a long time, Chen Gong and Jia Xu will be willing to follow him because of his value and trust, it seems that Xun Yu and Xun Yu have always been unwilling to let go of their mouths to follow him, in addition to not being optimistic about him, but also because there is a stain on his reputation.

In fact, just like the relationship with Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu and Ding Yuan swear to be father and son, and they usually refer to each other as righteous father and son, so in the eyes of many people in the outside world, it is no different from the real father-son relationship. At least it's closer than a simple master-slave relationship. And if Ding Yuan is a rebel minister, a national thief who is punished by everyone, then Lu Bu kills him and then guides public opinion, the outside world will not only not criticize but will praise him for killing his relatives in righteousness, after all, didn't Emperor Gaozu almost can't even take care of his father, wife and children for the sake of the "foundation of the Han family"?

But Lu Bu was recruited by Dong Zhuo, a national thief who was targeted by everyone, and killed Ding Yuan, who was thought by many people to be loyal and good, which in the eyes of many people is simply helping to abuse and recognize the thief as his father. Even if Lu Bu is obviously going to turn against Dong Zhuo now, except for someone like Jia Xu who has decided to follow him a long time ago, few literati will be willing to run to follow such a lord.

Therefore, in Lu Bu's plan book, developing his power in a low-key manner and improving his reputation in a high-profile manner are the two major things he needs to spend a lot of effort on next.

It's important to compete for talent in troubled times, and you want to attract talent. It's not enough to spell out any kind of prestige on the battlefield, Lu Bu's name as the god of war may be able to bluff some rangers or ordinary generals, but those civil servants and generals need a bigger name.

Now that Zhang Yang has made such remarks, coupled with his arrogant attitude, if Lu Bu doesn't take the opportunity to refute it, he will fall behind, lose his momentum, and his brain will turn. I suddenly felt that today was a good starting point to change my reputation.

So Lu Bu raised his hand. With an index finger, he pointed at Zhang Yang and smiled coldly: "I thought that your Uncle Zhang Ya was also a person of some insight. But I didn't expect to be so short-sighted, Dong Zhongying is just a lone husband, although he didn't check it for a while, and helped to abuse it, but it's not too late to make amends, a certain Lu Fengxian admitted that he was really wrong before, but now that he has woken up, he naturally wants to abandon the Dong thief and leave Luoyang, is it not according to your Uncle Zhang Ya's meaning that I still hope that a certain person has been following the thief of the country to fight the cholera world? ”

Why did Lu Bu have so many opportunities to kill Dong Zhuo directly when he was in Luoyang before, but he never did it? Not only because his stay is more meaningful to Lu Bu, but also because his reputation makes people act with scruples.

If he kills Dong Zhuo, even if he claims to be for the Han family, but it doesn't make sense from a logical point of view, there will still be people who criticize him for being ungrateful, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, Dong Zhuo is not bad for him, and the high-ranking officials are generous, what else to do?

In fact, when Lu Bu was thinking about justifying his name, he wanted to deny the fact that he killed Ding Yuan first, but no one saw it with his own eyes at that time anyway.

But at that time, Jia Xu persuaded him, he said: "If the lord really wants to say this, not only can he not change the world's opinion, but he will leave outsiders with an image of a coward who dares to do not dare to be. Not only Dong Zhuo's side, Li Ru, Li Su and others will doubt this, and even Li Su will jump out to testify, will Zhang Liao believe the words of the lord? The reason why Zhang Liao followed the lord was initially moved by the lord's righteousness, and later found out that the lord had the potential to be a bright monarch, which was related to the future and righteousness, Zhang Wenyuan was a person with great ambitions, of course he knew how to choose. As for the others, although they are different, they also do not want the person they follow to be a person who dares to do not dare to do things. Even the lord himself said to the prince Ang, it is not terrible for a person to make a mistake, what is terrible is not knowing the mistake and cannot be corrected, the lord wants to let the people of the world change his impression of himself, first of all, he must let others know that he knows his mistakes, and then let them see their own changes, and draw a clear line with Dong Zhuo, although for the time being, the alliance between the two sides will be in a stalemate or even rupture, making the lord isolated in this state, but in the long run it is a good thing, at least in the future, there will be an alliance of princes to discuss Dong Ruo, Yuan Shao and others want to take the lord as an opponent, That will inevitably be refuted by another part of the people, and some people will even take the initiative to pull the lord into their alliance, and then it will be the time for the lord to really correct his name. And at that time, the lord must also have the strength to fight for the world, if he can rescue the Son of Heaven, and then coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the lord will not only be a loyal minister to exterminate the national thieves, but also become a powerful prince who occupies the name of righteousness. ”

Jia Xu said so much, the central meaning is nothing more than that reputation is very important, you must not ignore it, whether it is to attract talents now or to stabilize the rule when there is more territory in the future, a good reputation is undoubtedly a hundred times more useful than no matter how strong the force is.

After all, not everyone will slowly adapt to being taken captive like Jia Xu, and then return to their hearts, like that Erxun has not expressed his position until now, obviously even if Xun Yu may not have a deep prejudice against Lu Bu, he is definitely not optimistic, but this disapproval actually contains another prejudice, the prejudice of his two backs.

And at this moment, for Lu Bu, there are so many soldiers listening, and it happens that Zhang Yang took the initiative to mention this stubble, and he can just make a positive statement about it.

This statement may also mean that it is difficult for him and Dong Zhuo to get together from the table, so I don't know if Dong Zhuo will be furious when he hears the news, so what will Li Ru think? (To be continued.) )
