Lu Bu's dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo has accumulated to a certain extent, Wang Yun saw this situation, and whispered in Lu Bu's ear: "Fengxian, at the beginning, when you worshiped Dong Zhuo as your father-in-law, I was also present. Have you forgotten? You were forced to be helpless, so you worshipped Dong Zhuo as your father-in-law! In fact, Dong Zhuo doesn't recognize you as a righteous son, which is also a good thing! ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Wang Yun's words aroused Lu Bu's interest, and he saw that Lu Bu's originally misty eyes were actually bright.

Wang Yun didn't answer Lu Bu directly, but asked with a smile: "Fengxian, what do you think of this person when you follow Dong Zhuo for a long time?" Is he a loyal minister of the Han family or a minister of Zhongxing? ”

Lu Bu shook his head and smiled: "Dong Zhuo? Jackal! In addition to being powerful, he has no ability to govern the country. As for loyalty, it is even more extravagant! Maybe the uncle didn't know that if it weren't for Liu Zhang's deterrence, Empress Dowager He and Princess Wannian, and even Concubine Tang would have been insulted by him. ”

"What?" Wang Yun's eyes widened and asked, "Dong Zhuo is so presumptuous?" I thought that his insult to Princess Wannian was just a rumor! ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "Uncle didn't know, Dong Zhuo had already pressed Princess Wannian on the bed at that time, but Princess Wannian suddenly yelled 'Little Uncle Help', which scared Dong Zhuo to stop immediately!" At that time, it happened to be Hua Xiong's subordinates on duty, so I only found out. ”

Wang Yun laughed and said, "Dong Zhongying is also scared? ”

Lu Bu pouted and said, "Why is he afraid! Since knowing that Empress Dowager He's backer was Liu Zhang, Dong Zhuo not only didn't dare to disturb Empress Dowager He anymore, but also improved the treatment of Empress Dowager He and others. You must know that Dong Zhuo has 400,000 troops under his command, and the grain and grass are not rich. With Dong Zhuo's surname, he actually distributed grain and grass to useless people, Liu Zhang's deterrence against him can be imagined! ”

"That's not right!" Wang Yun was very puzzled and said: "I know Dong Zhuo's character, even if he is afraid of the champion Hou, he will not be afraid to such an extent, does he have any handle in the hands of the champion Hou?" ”

"That's true!" Lu Bu said with a smile: "Liu Zhang learned that Dong Zhuo was rampant, and while sending a letter, asking Dong Zhuo to return the four Empress Dowager He, he led people to raid Linzhao. Now, Dong Zhuo's family is all guests in Yizhou! ”

"What a move, throwing a mouse bogey!" Wang Yun said with a smile: "He is worthy of being the champion Hou who has experienced a hundred battles, and with a casual move, Dong Zhuo is powerless." It's a pity..."

"What's the pity?" Seeing Wang Yun's regretful face, Lu Bu couldn't help but ask him questions.

Wang Yun said with a smile: "If the champion Hou is willing to join the auxiliary government of the dynasty, he will be able to determine the future!" I just don't know why he didn't come when the general sent an edict to invite the foreign minister to enter Beijing, maybe to avoid suspicion! However, it doesn't matter if the champion Hou doesn't come, with his attitude towards the Yuan family, even if he enters Beijing, most of them will cause dissatisfaction among the princes! ”

Lu Bu nodded, in fact, he didn't understand what Wang Yun said at all. Seeing that although Lu Bu nodded in agreement, his face was confused, Wang Yun sighed deeply. Lu Bu is indeed brave and unparalleled, but unfortunately his wisdom is too low, and he is completely a martial artist. This kind of person, it's okay to charge into battle, but it's too difficult to entrust it to big things!

With Lu Bu's help, Wang Yun had the confidence to at least kill Dong Zhuo, and he would not be taken by Dong Zhuo's bravery. However, Wang Yun still needs to calculate carefully, so as not to fail the plan and make a mistake. You must know that Dong Zhuo not only has an army of three or four hundred thousand people, but also a resourceful Li Ru, even if Dong Zhuo does not listen to Li Ru very much.

Chang'an has been surging, and wolves are rising all over the Han Dynasty. The most relaxed person now is Liu Zhang. With Minchan, Liu Zhang returned to Yizhou, except for Cai Yan, the eldest woman, Xiao Qiao and Zhang Ning looked at him a little wrong. When Liu Zhang announced that Minchan was his concubine, Xiao Qiao pouted very dissatisfied.

You must know that when Xiao Qiao was six or seven years old, he was already working as a maid by Liu Zhang's side. Of course, Liu Zhang never treated them as maids. Now the two daughters are sixteen or seventeen years old, and in ordinary people, they may both be mothers. Liu Zhang hadn't touched them yet, but he brought back a beautiful woman, and it would be strange if they didn't have an idea. However, whether it is Minchan or Xiao Qiao, they are all gentle women, and with Cai Yan's mediation, Liu Zhang did not have a fire in the backyard.

Minchan was Liu Zhang's concubine, and Liu Zhang first took her to Mrs. Liu's grave, saying that she would let Mrs. Liu meet her new daughter-in-law, and then take her to meet Liu Yan. Although Liu Yan was very happy, he still made a request, hoping that Liu Zhang would give him a grandson as soon as possible, so that he could make fun of his grandson.

Liu Zhang's father's request, Liu Zhang naturally complied, and after returning home, he called the girls to lecture, which made the women's faces crimson, and the resentment of Xiao Qiao disappeared a lot. And Cai Yan, who is the eldest woman and has had a relationship with Liu Zhang, naturally became Liu Zhang's first target!

After dealing with family affairs, Liu Zhang began to reorganize the troops again. Kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 yourself. After a series of battles, Liu Zhang brought 80,000 soldiers to Luoyang, and the total consumption of Zero Zero was nearly 30,000! A large amount of pension made Liu Zhang feel pain to the bone marrow. It's not that Liu Zhang is stingy, it's just that the pension he set is too high!

In ancient times, it was to eat food and become a soldier, so how could there be any pension? Even if there were, it was pitiful! Liu Zhang not only asked Huang Zhong and other generals to brainwash his soldiers, in order to improve the combat power of the soldiers and let them fight bravely to kill the enemy, but also increased the pension, so that they have no worries! Otherwise, why did Liu Zhang use 80,000 soldiers to resist Dong Zhuo's 100,000 soldiers and horses?

In two months, Liu Zhang almost straightened out his subordinates. At this time, news came from Jizhou that Yuan Shao entered Jizhou and fought with Gongsun Zhan in Panhe! Gongsun Zhan got Liu Bei's help and escaped! Then, news came from Jinyang that Zhang He and Fu Zhu came to defect, and by the way, there was Pan Feng who Liu Zhang rescued from Huaxiong in Bishui Pass!

Liu Zhang did not let the three of them come to Yizhou, but directly transferred the drama Zhicai back to Yizhou, and directly appointed Tian Feng as the pastor of the state, and ordered Zhang He to select strong men in the state and form a halberd warrior, with Liao Hua and Pan Feng as deputy generals, under the command of Zhang Liao!

Zhang He, who had been wronged for several years, wept bitterly after receiving the order, and swore allegiance to Liu Zhang. As for Pan Feng, Liu Zhang used to be his life-saving benefactor, the reason why he defected to Liu Zhang was to repay his kindness, his loyalty does not need to be detailed, and Liu Zhang did a small thing to make Pan Feng more grateful to Dade.

It turned out that Liu Zhang remembered that Pan Feng's axe was not in his hands, so he specially asked the workshop to imitate several blue and white plate ancient axes and give them to Pan Feng. When Pan Feng took the Pangu axe sent by Liu Zhang from Yizhou and practiced on the horse, his heart was full of fire. The boss who cares so much about the little brother is not easy to find in any era! Pan Feng, who was originally loyal, was even more determined in his heart!

In fact, Liu Zhang didn't want Yuan Shao to take Jizhou, but this was not something he could stop. It's like Liu Zhangming knew that the Han was going to be chaotic, and he once wanted Liu Hong to live longer, but Liu Hong died at the age of thirty-four.

Some people may ask, why didn't Liu Zhang attack Jizhou! It's not that Liu Zhang doesn't want to attack Jizhou, it's that Liu Zhang can't and doesn't have the ability to attack Jizhou.

Jizhou, the family is entrenched, and the foundation of the Yuan family is here. After begging Dong, Liu Zhang only had more than 50,000 soldiers in his hands, and it was a complete fool's dream to attack Jizhou. Let's just say that the major families who are good friends with the Yuan family in Jizhou will not sit idly by and watch Liu Zhang get Jizhou.

Some people may want to say that although Liu Zhang has 50,000 soldiers, they are all elite, and the family can't help him. But if Liu Zhang wants to occupy Jizhou, he has to conquer the city. Don't look at Yuan Shao's Jizhou so easy, if someone else comes, it won't work at all. The reason why Han Fu dedicated Yuan Shao was not because he was afraid of Yuan Shao, but because he believed in the Yuan family.

The reason why the big families are strong is because they have land in their hands! Historically, Mi Zhu supported Liu Bei and sent 50,000 slaves to him, but the Mi family was at most a middle- and lower-class family. The great family of the Han Dynasty, who did not have tens of thousands of slaves. If Liu Zhang really attacked Jizhou, those families and families would have some people, although they didn't say that they defeated Liu Zhang, but there was no problem for him to stop in Jizhou. So Liu Zhang is waiting, not only waiting for the Yuan family to lose power, but also waiting for his own strength to grow.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the only way to increase power was to increase the population. There are two ways to increase the population: one is to plunder and attract from other states and counties, and the other is to promote fertility.

Promoting fertility is relatively simple, Liu Zhang took out the reward system of Lao Qin again, and he also borrowed the methods of great leaders in the early days of New China to propagate the idea that there are many people and great power under his rule. Birth rewards, plus honorable titles, can't afford to raise and government funding, these policies make the people of Yizhou and Bingzhou crazy. For a long time, it was common for families in Yizhou and Bingzhou to have five or six children in a family, and it was common to have seven or eight children, and it was not uncommon for more than ten to have children.

Promoting fertility is naturally a good and simplest way, but the visible effect is too slow, and it can only be done for sustainable development. A more practical approach is to plunder and attract people from the states. So, Liu Zhang made a fuss about the land, and without saying a word, he called all the patriarchs of the big families in Yizhou to a meeting, and asked them to hand over the land and domestic slaves in their hands to the state governor's office.

Of course, Liu Zhang will not let the family have no way to live, he will divide some profits to the family according to the land and house slaves handed over, and develop some tertiary industries to make up for the losses of the family commercially. He also allowed the family to keep some servants and maids to take care of their daily lives.

Seeing that the privileges in Yizhou were about to end, the patriarchs of the family looked at each other. But they knew from Liu Zhang's deeds that Liu Zhang was a strong person, and if they did not agree to Liu Zhang's request, Liu Zhang would definitely raise a butcher's knife at them. Even, they already smelled a hint of blood.

The dozens of family heads present were silent, Liu Zhang's expression became more and more serious, and the killing intent in his eyes shot straight at everyone without any scruples. As long as someone dares to stand up against it, Liu Zhang will not hesitate to kill him. The atmosphere in the entire conference hall is becoming more and more solemn!
