Liu Biao took Luoyang so quickly
As soon as Sima Lang said this, Lu Bu and Zhang Yang changed color at the same time, and Zhang Yang put the wine glass down, revealing his gloomy
"Liu Biao, a dog thief, a treacherous man," Zhang Yang scolded angrily
"What about Liu Yan," Lu Bu was slightly stunned and hurriedly asked
He didn't expect the news of the family to come so quickly, but it was only three days of hard work, and even the army scouts didn't send back the news, and the Sima family seemed to have known that the power of the family was really not to be underestimated
"Liu Junlang retreated to Hanzhong, the Xiliang army and its disintegration all went to Guanzhong," Sima Lang saw the surprised appearance of Lu Bu and the others, and a touch of pride crossed his face
"Li Dao and the others were also let go by Liu Biao," although Lu Bu asked, but it seemed that he had already gotten the result, Liu Biao would definitely not leave 100,000 soldiers and horses to make trouble in his hinterland, because he couldn't eat such a large force, so he simply took advantage of the limelight and let them run for their lives, otherwise, if they came back to their senses, they would have to fight Liu Biao to the death, although Liu Biao's conspiracy and tricks were strong, they might not necessarily win
"Since Jun and the others evacuated, Liu Jingsheng has released the blockade and let them out of Sili," Sima Lang replied quickly
"At the moment, the Kwantung forces don't seem to have many loyal people, why don't the generals send the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, when the time comes, the generals and Jingsheng Gong join forces to prosper the Han," Sima Lang glanced at his father, who was seated, and whispered
It seemed that he had figured out something, and Lu Bu smiled when he heard Sima Lang's words
"Mr. Jiangong, don't you want to be the lobbyist of Liu Biao's dog thief, don't you know that Feng Xian has already seen through the wolf ambitions of that guy, how can he be loyal to the Han family," Zhang Yang heard Sima Lang's words, and slapped the table heavily
"Why is General Lu laughing," Sima Lang didn't pay attention to Zhang Yang, but asked Lu Bu, who was smiling and silent
"Isn't your father also laughing," Lu Bu glanced at Sima Fang and said flatly, "These useless temptations are still not to be made, a certain family is not a ten-year-old naughty boy," Lu Bu said, and glanced at Sima Yi, who was sitting quietly
"Isn't it ridiculous that people in the world boast of having both talent and intelligence, such as a carp crossing the river, but they don't realize that disaster is coming," Lu Bu said pointedly
"Close the door of the mansion and don't see it, no one is allowed to disturb you outside the guest house," Lu Bufang finished speaking, Sima Fang put away his smile and instructed his subordinates with a serious face
The people hurriedly retreated, and after closing the front door of the hall, there was no one outside the banquet hall
"General Lu, can you tell the truth," Sima Fang stared at Lu Bu tightly, since he decided to show favor to Lu Bu, it was naturally better to be better
"Mr. Sima, but please speak bluntly, Bu knows everything, and everything is said endlessly," Lu Bu still held the wine jug in one hand and the wine glass in the other, indifferent
"The old man dares to be affectionate, General Lu, guess again, what the old man is worried about," Sima Fang's face suddenly became solemn
"The order of the day is changing, the war is endless, the displaced people are everywhere, and the yellow turban is rekindled", Lu Bu's expression is still flat, the family is not afraid of the conspiracy of the powerful, only afraid of the impulse of the martial arts, and the scourge of the yellow turban is undoubtedly the biggest threat to the family, because the yellow turban treats the family most of the time as a killing word, no matter how high your reputation is, no matter how good your argument is, there is nothing people can do if they don't listen to you
The Eastern Han Dynasty was built on the strength of the family, which Sima Fang saw very clearly
It's just that the family is a big family with a lot of influence, heavy power, and a lot of wealth, and Haoqiang is a local force at the county and township level with little power and few resources
This is the foundation of the whole country, Emperor Guangwu relied on the support of several great families at that time to ascend to the throne step by step, of course, this is not unrelated to Emperor Guangwu's eloquence, and the origin of the Eastern Han Dynasty has to thank one person, that is, Wang Mang, who is ready to subvert the power of the wealthy family in one fell swoop
The consequence of Emperor Guangwu's Zhongxing is that the country's wealth, land, population, and even private soldiers are almost in the hands of large and small families, and even local governments at all levels and a large part of military power are also in the hands of the family, because this is the favor he owed when he ascended to the top
However, the biggest advantage of the family lies in the heritage, but also in the monopoly of knowledge and culture, and because of the monopoly of knowledge and culture, the monopoly of official positions
Since the beginning of the Warring States Period, the family has accumulated for hundreds of years, and has actually mastered the grassroots political power for a long time, coupled with the policy of support and even connivance of Emperor Guangwu, by the end of the Han Dynasty, the family has reached the point where it can dominate the world and retreat to the point of self-defense
Of course, under the condition that the emperor and the central government were still able to control the situation of the whole country, in the face of the eunuchs who actually represented the emperor and the relatives who had long controlled the military and political power, the family was scattered and not unified, and it was not enough to control the entire Han Dynasty alone
But the Yellow Turban Rebellion completely shattered this situation
The Han Dynasty, which was not strong enough and worried about the disaster of destroying the country, completely delegated all the power that could be delegated, and the family developed rapidly in the war, in addition to obtaining a large number of local official positions, the land, population, and wealth obtained in the war were countless, and the most important thing was that with the step by step competition with the Yellow Turban Army, the military strength also grew, and there were many private soldiers who guarded the manor, and now they gained practical combat experience, and with the development of strength, some powerful families gradually had ambitions
However, no matter how strong the family is, it needs a support after all, otherwise, as the same drama Zhicai once said, if the disaster of the Yellow Turban comes ten times, then all the families in the world will die
Now the Sima family is looking for this support, if Lu Bu can give them benefits, Sima Fangdang will vote for Lu Bu on the ground, but Lu Bu is not a fool, although he wants to accept this help, but he always has to beat it first
"Hanoi is currently considered a land of four wars, no matter who occupies it, it is not allowed by a certain family," Lu Bu no longer followed Sima Fang's words and said to himself
"Although Liu Biao occupies Gyeonggi, there is a natural danger of the Yellow River from Hanoi, and I am afraid that it is beyond the reach of the whip, as for the other directions, who can Mr. Sima count on?"
"If Mr. Sima thinks about the current situation of the Jinyang Wang family, I'm afraid he won't have so many troubles, although a certain family is a martial artist, he is not a kind person after all, what is Mr. Sima still hesitating," Lu Bu forced Sima Fang to express his position
Don't think about the left and right, although Liu Biao has calculated the people of the world, but after all, his strength is still weak, and Hanoi is under the edge of the Bingzhou soldiers, and the Sima family has no other way but to take refuge in the state!
