As we all know, Lu Bu is lustful. And Lu Bu also attaches great importance to his own woman. Wei Yue, Wei Xu, Cao Bao and others relied on their in-law relationship with Lu Bu to win Lu Bu's trust the most. For other princes, the problem of women who was not under much pressure was extremely heavy for Lu Bu, making his heart turn a thousand times and be entangled.

"Why, doesn't the prince think of his wife and concubine and children, and insist on going his own way to the end? In that case, please go back. In the coming day, I will reward the soldiers of the three armies with the beautiful beauty in my hand, and I will fight to the death with you! ”

The "reward the beauties to the soldiers of the three armies" in the arrogant words is obviously a threat. As long as Lu Bu insists on not surrendering, he will definitely do the act of treating Lu Bu's concubine and daughter as a reward and distributing it to his subordinate generals. This kind of thing is common in today's troubled times.

Hearing the threat from Zhang Qiang, Lu Bu gritted his steel teeth, but he was helpless.

The situation is unforgiving. Even if he doesn't consider that his wives and concubines are in the hands of arrogance, just in terms of the current battlefield situation, Lu Bu is already at an absolute disadvantage. Unless some miracle happens, for Lu Bu, he basically has no chance of turning the tables.

Lu Bu was not a man who would die generously. He will be greedy, he will be afraid, and he will be timid. Faced with the arrogance that occupied an absolute advantage in all aspects, Lu Bu wavered.

-- Everyone is a Han official, why do you have to fight to the death......

After thinking for a long time, finally, Lu Bu knelt down on one knee with difficulty, lowered his head and said to Zhang Qiang:

Zhang ...... Uncle Fang, Lu Bu is willing to surrender ......"

Hearing that Lu Bu finally said such a thing, he smiled arrogantly with satisfaction.

"Oh? In that case, let the three armies be summoned and tell everyone the good news! ”

For Lu Bu's submission, Zhang Bu was not too surprised. Today's Lu Bujun is due to Chen Deng's dedication to Guangling County. It has fallen into a strategic state of encirclement on all sides, and can only survive for a while. In such a desperate situation, Zhang Qi then used Lu Bu's lustful weakness to force him, and according to Guo Jia's analysis, the probability of Lu Bu's submission exceeded eighty percent.

"Junhou, are you really going to surrender?"

Heard the order passed down by Lu Bu. His guards all looked at each other. After Lu Bu repeated his order again, the guards obediently obeyed Lu Bu's will in silence. Lu Bu could even feel that several of the guards had let out a long breath, obviously glad that they didn't have to confront Zhang Qijun.

The military spirit of Lu Bujun has been greatly shaken after the fall of Tanxian. For most of the soldiers, they were very worried that continuing to fight with Lu Bu would bring disaster to their wives and children in Tan County. Therefore, when the pro-guard passed on the news of Lu Bu's decision to surrender. From many Lu Bujun camps, there were actually cheers of "long live".

Only Bao Xin and a few other generals were disappointed by this result and quietly left the barracks. And Lu Bu also turned a blind eye to the actions of Bao Xin and others, and did not have any reaction.

The gentleman broke off his friendship and did not make a bad noise. Lu Bu thought so.

With the forced surrender of Lu Bu, the entire land of Xuzhou. Except for Peng Chengguo, which was occupied by Cao Cao, who arrived in time, the rest such as the East China Sea, Xiapi and other places. They all easily fell into the hands of arrogance. This huge change once again plunged the southern princes, who were already worried about the insolent expansion, into a huge panic.

So, from Yanzhou to Yizhou, from Yuzhou to Yangzhou, and even from Jingzhou to Sili on the official road. There were many messengers who drove the carriage quickly.

For the great tandem activities launched by the southern princes, Zhang Qi didn't care too much. Except for telling Wei Xiao to pay more attention, Zhang Yan didn't make any moves. In fact, he is busy restructuring his own model of regime organization.

At the beginning of the arrogant army, due to the small number of people, the land was narrow. It is ruled by military law. It was not until the conquest of Meiji and the beginning of Tuntian in the Hetao area that the arrogant forces officially began to explore civil management. However, at that time, the Hetao area was still a half-military and half-civilian management mode, and a complete set of civil administration institutions had not really been established.

After the merger of states, in order to rule the suddenly expanded territory, the arrogance of lack of ruling experience had to borrow the ruling model of the Han family. Although in terms of military organization, Zhang Qi has not applied the organization method of the Han army, but in the area of civil affairs, he almost completely copied the "county, county and township" system of the Han family.

The annexation of Jizhou was the key point for the insolent forces to make a qualitative leap. Due to the focus on Jizhou, Zhang Qi's attention to the two places of Bingzhou and Youzhou has obviously decreased a lot. When Qingzhou and Xuzhou fell into the hands of insolence one after another, the original state pastoral governance model not only became nominally inappropriate, but also had a lot of shortcomings in governance.

One of the most basic problems is that Jizhou and other states are, theoretically speaking, a large state on an equal footing. However, the Jizhou Prefecture Pastoral Government has managed the same level institutions such as the Bingzhou Assassin's Mansion, Youzhou Assassin's Mansion, and Qingzhou's Assassin's Mansion. Acting in this way can be described as "unjustifiable". Many officials from other prefectures and counties also unconsciously resisted the orders issued by the Jizhou Prefecture Governor's Office.

For this phenomenon, the first person to point it out and propose a solution was Dong Zhao. Dong Zhao worked in the position of the assassin of Bingzhou for two years, and then transferred to the position of the assassin of Youzhou. When Qingzhou was taken, Dong Zhao wrote to him arrogantly, believing that his current territory was too big and no longer suitable for a mere Jizhou pastor to lead it.

In the above book, Dong Zhao directly proposed that the arrogance at this time could be called the king by himself, and then in the name of the prince, he would rule the four northern states.

This was the first persuasion document offered by an arrogant subordinate.

Zhang Mad received Dong Zhao's letter, but did not agree at that time. In his reply to Dong Zhao, he explained his development strategy of "building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king", saying that the time is not yet ripe, and Hande is not completely weakened, so it is not suitable to be king casually.

Zhang Qi clearly remembers that Yuan Shu, the first prince to be the emperor during the Three Kingdoms period, but after becoming the emperor, his power quickly collapsed, and finally he was cornered, vomiting blood and dying on the way to his brother Yuan Shao. Therefore, the first person to be called a king and emperor mostly ended badly.

After receiving an arrogant reply, Dong Zhao was silent on this issue for several months. However, when Lu Bu surrendered to Zhangqiang and most of Xuzhou's territory was acquired, Dong Zhao wrote to Zhangqiang again and persuaded Zhangqiang to become king.

In the above book, Dong Zhao listed a number of reasons why arrogance should be king.

First, after snatching the Son of Heaven from Han Sui in Chang'an, the southern princes immediately declared insolence a rebellion against the Han Dynasty in the name of the Son of Heaven. If Zhang Yanru still took the Jizhou pastor appointed by the Han family as the main official position, then when facing the southern princes, he naturally felt a sense of qi deficiency.

Second, as a practical problem, there is more and more land under the rule of insolence, and the official position of "Jizhou Mu" is no longer enough to govern the locality. Only after becoming the king, with the respect of the king, can the arrogance be able to logically suppress the states and counties in various places.

In the third article, Dong Zhao listed the story of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty back then, saying that everyone followed Zhang Crazy to conquer the east and west, just to "climb dragon scales and attach phoenix wings", looking forward to success one day. Now the arrogance occupies half of the Han Dynasty, but there is not even a throne, which inevitably makes the generals disappointed and scattered. If people's hearts are scattered, what hope can there be for the future cause of arrogance?

As soon as Dong Zhao's persuasion was published, it immediately aroused the support of officials from various prefectures and counties. In order to show loyalty to the insolent man, and in order to be able to mention the official position in the future, the document that expressed support for the insolence to become the king floated to the giant deer city like snowflakes. Except for a few people such as Cheng Yu and Zhao Yun, almost all the important ministers and officials expressed strong support for the arrogant claim to the king.

In fact, in the arrogant heart, why don't you want to be called the king and emperor as soon as possible?

However, in the end, Zhang Qiang is a traverser from later generations, he has seen a lot of all kinds of weak strength but forcibly called the fate of the emperor in the history books, and knows that the position of "emperor" and "king" is a high-risk profession with no advance or retreat. In case of a careless one on this issue, it is useless to regret it.

Moreover, although the Han family is much weaker than before, the generation that grew up under the rule of the Han Dynasty is still the backbone of determining the direction of the situation in the world. No matter how dissatisfied this group of people are with Dahan, they always have a nostalgia for Dahan in the deepest part of their hearts. Taking the liberty of challenging the bottom line of this group of people is too risky and the benefits are limited.

You must know that in history, Cao Pi's usurpation of the Han Dynasty was also successfully completed after decades of troubled times, and the group of people who grew up in the period when the Han Dynasty was still intact almost all died, and people had to accept the conclusion that the Han family would die. Cao Pi's son, Cao Cao, has been the king of Wei for many years, but he doesn't dare to move, isn't he afraid that his behavior will cause big trouble?

Of course, Dong Zhao and others just hoped that Zhang Yan would be king, and did not directly support Zhang Yan to become emperor. However, according to the story of the Han family, Han Gaozu set up the "White Horse Alliance" that year, and "the king who is not the Liu family will be attacked by the world". Zhang Madness, a person with a different surname, as long as he is called the king, then who in the world does not know that he will eventually become the emperor sooner or later?

Considering the above things, Zhang Mad is not in a hurry to claim the title of king. However, what Dong Zhao and the others said is also reasonable, Zhang Qi now has the land of five states in his hands, and he also needs a small half of the division, and he really needs a more senior official position to lead his subordinates.

Otherwise, Zhang Madness himself is just a state pastor, and his subordinates will never be promoted higher than Zhang Madness, right?

As a result, many state and county officials have no hope of being promoted if they stay under the hands of insolence, and how much motivation do they have to do things?

Therefore, it is not easy to weigh the king directly. However, if it is replaced by a "gong" who is one level lower than the "king", Zhang Qiang feels that it can be considered. (To be continued......)
