appointing a capable imperial family as a local state pastor and taking over the military and political power, so that the government decree is accessible, and the traitors can be eliminated in a timely and effective manner, which is the suggestion of Yizhou Mu Liu Yan to Liu Hong, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion; So Liu Yu became Youzhou Mu, Liu Yan became Yizhou Mu, Liu Dai became Yanzhou Mu, and then Liu Biao became Jingzhou Mu, and not long ago Liu Yu also became Yangzhou Muhan, a total of only a few states! The royal family fought alone in five states, including four states in a row, and all of them were rich lands that could raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers; Why Wang Rui was able to become the pastor of Jingzhou, at the beginning, it was because of the support of the eunuchs, and later it was Dong Zhuo who supported him, he thought that arranging Wang Rui between Yizhou and Yangzhou could play a role in monitoring and deterring Liu Yan and Liu Xuan, but it was a pity that a good person Wang Rui! He has never fought Liu Biao, and now the strength of the royal clan is still strong; The royal family is in trouble, and many people are indignant and ready to fight a big fight, whether it is a wealthy family, or the children of the eunuchs, or the brave generals on the battlefield, or even the anti-thieves are also carrying the banner in a grand manner, but the strongest royal clan has contributed the least, which is undoubtedly puzzling; Needless to say, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu is ready to send his brave general Gongsun Chan to help him complete the task of asking for Dong, he knows that he is just a dish on the battlefield, not at all, he himself is not good and self-aware, so he chooses to support Gongsun Chan in the rear; This is the imperial uncle in the northern border, and there is also an imperial uncle in the center of the Central Plains - Liu Dai, this is also the only royal family who is ready to go into battle in person, he is considered a representative of the royal family, but his strength is not the strongest, the strongest are in the south!

The three imperial uncles in the south have said that the crusade against Dong Zhuo can be described as a major event today, and the goal is the continuation of their Han family, their reaction is so cold, it can be seen that they may have other thoughts in their hearts!

Yizhou Mu has been shouting that he is a mountain and a river, the road is blocked and strong, it is difficult to send troops, and Zhang Lu's cult in Hanzhong is making trouble everywhere and occupying the royal mausoleum, and after I solve this matter, I will work hard with you to find Dong Zhuo!

The slogan is screaming loudly, what the hell are we all fools? The princes collectively lost their voices, disgusted by Liu Yan's cheekiness, don't we know what's going on with Zhang Lu? It's not like you've released it yourself, and you can't control it lately, so it's time for you!

The reason for this is also very interesting, the barbarians of Changsha Wuxi rebelled and plundered everywhere, plus Zhang Xian and other giant bandits caused trouble to Jingxiang, and waited for Benzhou Mu to kill them first, the scum of the poisonous people!

This is also a shameless one, Zhang Xian is what's going on, doesn't he know himself? Why did the Wuxi Man rebel? It's not because you, an old boy, want to kill Sun Jian, that Sun Jian has to flee in embarrassment, and the Wuxi barbarians who have no threat are not like they have entered the back garden; Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan's reason is also very strong, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha, I still advise you not to be so angry, if you have anything to say, talk about it! Recently he became obsessed with Buddhism, a monk state pastor!

In fact, Liu Miao also had no choice, his means of ascending to the throne was to rely on people to advocate for him, and the relationship with the Shi clan was not bad and stabilized, he could have hundreds of soldiers and horses in the hands of a newly appointed state pastor, so it was better not to join in that excitement; The world is full of smoke, some people are crying and some are laughing, in short, this is an opportunity! Everyone wants to take the opportunity to make some benefits when the world is in turmoil, whether it is money or fame, a piece of land and a beautiful woman are things that everyone happily yearns for; After preparing for a long time, Cao Mengde sent a letter to suppress thieves in Chenliu, and decided to meet the alliance in sour jujube on the Qingming Festival, and the world will punish thieves together!

The increasingly fierce thief pomp is about to begin, Dong Zhuo, who lives in Luoyang, has not made any moves, Xiliang horse is rampant in the world, this is not blown, if he plans to break it first, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who can resist his iron hooves, but he didn't do anything but let it go!

Not to mention Wang Kuang of Hanoi who is just around the Jingshi, Shangdang Zhang Yang, Chen Liu, Zhang Miao, Jizhou Han Fu and others, as long as Dong Zhuo wants to, their heads will definitely not stay for long! Dong Zhuo's behavior is getting more and more weird!

From Dong Zhuo, who worked hard, forged ahead, and reformed, to the demon king Dong Zhuo, the silver gray court, brutal murder, and killing the emperor Dong Zhuo The change is quite big, so that everyone doesn't understand him, except for one person!

Everyone will have friends who understand you, Dong Zhuo's friend and son-in-law Li Ru is the one who understands him, from the beginning Li Ru was also fantasizing about establishing a system of law and reproducing the glory of legalism, but he found that the 'law' has existed since ancient times, but there are often people who are beyond the 'law', this kind of person has always existed, even if countless years have passed, he will still exist!

This is the conclusion that I came to after sitting in the house for nearly three months, rarely eating, seldom sleeping, and constantly suffering! Li Ru felt that the system of Legalism was just a theory that existed in legends! There is no hope of full realization at all!

So, let this ideal be passed on! Even if it's a lie, it's a white lie, and I'm powerless to change it, so let someone else change it!

For three months, Li Ru was so thin that he could see how many ribs there were, and after figuring out everything, Li Ru burned incense and bathed, ate a whole chicken, and then went to visit Dong Zhuo with a smile. Confidants don't need to say a lot of words, Li Ru just said after seeing Dong Zhuo: "I figured out a lot of things that I couldn't figure out before!" Maybe you should live your life differently! ”

Dong Zhuo nodded approvingly and asked, "Wen You!" What do you think of my current approach? Chic, happy, carefree just waiting for the last moment! ”

Li Ru raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid that the fire can't practice real gold!" I hope your hard work is not in vain, but are you really not? Li Ru pointed to the sky, thinking that he was seeking to usurp the throne! He calculated that the odds of success were great!

"Nope! I am a subject of the Han Dynasty! I am a loyal servant! Dong Zhuo said that he was a loyal minister! Others will definitely laugh three times when they hear it, and they will scold angrily, but Li Ru didn't say a word, and nodded admiringly, expressing his agreement!

"I know that many of the people below have different thoughts, Li Dao, Guo Yan, and that Lu Bu are not good birds! Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of ambition! I don't want to be the one who destroyed the Han Dynasty, even though I have become a traitor! ”； Dong Zhuo sighed, he is more than fifty years old, he is old, time is a pig-killing knife, one knife at a time to urge people to get old, the Dong Zhuo who was brave enough to open the bow left and right is gone, and now he is just an over-aged man who is addicted to the sound of dogs and horses; Dong Zhuo became fatter and fatter, and his hair gradually turned gray, while Li Ru became thinner and thinner, as thin as a hemp stick, as if someone had abused him, Li Shouzhu looked up at Dong Feifei: "Sit back and wait for the time to come!" However, the father-in-law is still less sinking, and the military power must be in his hands! ”

"Yes! I got it! Wen Youen, if one day you feel that I am not far from death, then you should stay away from me and leave some fire for the Dong family! Dong Zhuo said earnestly; Dong Zhuo has no sons, only two daughters, one is married to Niu Fu and the other is married to Li Ru, but Niu Fu is not comparable in brain power after all, this kind of continuation of future generations is still handed over to Li Shouzhu to grasp the point, he has no son, Dong Zhuo pinned his hopes on his daughter, and planned to pass on one to the Dong family

Li Ru nodded wordlessly, whether it was an expressionless face or a calm heart, it made people feel that he didn't seem to have any other feelings now, shouldn't this be? After all, he was greatly favored by Dong Zhuo, in fact, since Li Ru nodded, it means that he will definitely do it! It's just that his current mentality or his whole person has changed, and he has become even more powerful! It's even more unfathomable!

"What does Brother Zhicai think of Yuan Gong?" , Xi Zhicai took root in Nanyang County, and he began to display his talents happily, including the "extortion" of the three heroes of the southern royal family, he did it single-handedly, with such a person, the pressure on Li was reduced a lot; The two of them sat under the sunny sky, basking in the sun, stealing a half of their lives, very comfortable, Xi Zhicai smiled: "To be honest, the lord is not a man of great talent, and he may not be a good lord!"

But it's also good to be kind and make good use of people, at least I have now found the direction of my struggle and found the meaning of my life! Hehe! Don't be afraid of filial piety jokes, my brother is the happiest in his life these days! ”

"Exactly! Exactly! Look at the two of us are really similar to the extreme, the high hall is far away, the inner hall is not, and there is no child and a lonely family under the knees! But I think I'm worse than you, and I can't even tell where my hometown is! Hi! I don't know what the ambition of Brother Zhicai is? Li Kai asked with a smile; Xi Zhicai said to Li Mouren: He is more miserable than him, in short, they are indeed quite similar to each other, speaking of ideals, Xi Zhicai stood up, faced the sun, pondered for a long time before saying sonorously: "Establish a heart for heaven and earth, and ask for life for the people!" For the sake of the saints, for the eternal peace! What about you? ”

"Uh", what a big idea! Li Mouren arched his hand: "Little brother is willing to bow down!" Compared with you, my ideals are simply unattainable! ”

"Huh? Why? Xi Zhicai asked, Li Kai said embarrassedly: "I always yearn for the life of a gentleman, buy two chicken legs to eat one and throw one, seven or eight wives and concubines, knock the legs of the knockers, and beat the shoulders of the shoulders"

"Stop, stop!" , Xi Zhicai covered his face depressedly, as if he didn't want to admit that he was a friend of Li, and it took a long time to be pulled back by the cruel reality, as if he hated iron and steel: "Your talent is ten times that of mine, how can you not have a little other idea?" Save all the people from fire and water, I remember you often seem to say to the lord! ”

"Hey, hey! That's for someone else! I still want to live an ordinary life! It's too exciting for the heart to stand it! Li Kai smiled: "But your ideal is too big, how should you achieve it?" ”

How? Xi Zhicai fell into contemplation again, and then replied firmly: "Without him, do your ears!" ”

"Exactly! After all, what you say is beautiful is unreliable! You have to have the ability to do it! Deviations in ideas often lead to disagreements, even swords-and-wars, but fortunately, they have the same ideas and the same goals, so there is no reason not to be friends!

There is always very little time for small talk, and Yuan Shu ran over in person, a little happy, and out of breath: "The food is there!" One and a half million stones! One and a half million stones! Oh, my God! No more homeless people will go hungry! ”

The reason why the three state pastors were able to hand over the food so happily was that they were all planning by Xi Zhicai, in short, it was divided into three steps, first, first send someone to send a letter, a joint letter from the princes of the Eighteen Roads, and invite them to discuss Dong together, after all, it is for the Han family!

If they refuse, don't be discouraged, we still occupy the righteousness, the second step is to spread rumors, saying that they plan to take advantage of the chaos in the world to establish themselves as kings, they wish to die today, of course, this reason may also be cracked, they may be able to say that the purpose of not sending troops is to not anger Dong Zhuo so as not to anger Dong Zhuo, and the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry; At this point, what should we do? It's very simple, play hooligan! sent someone to send a letter to Yuan Shao, asking him to dispatch in the center, let Guangling guard Zhang Chao to coerce Yangzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui made an alliance with Zhang Lu to send troops to Yizhou, and Yuan Shu and Sun Jian of Nanyang County also gathered fifty miles outside Xiangyang; There are thugs, bosses, and organizations, and these royal families who are in internal troubles have to put down their posture and provide food and grass! One and a half million stone grains and grass arrived in this way, but only one million stone grains and grass were actually obtained from Nanyang County, which belonged to Liu Biao and Liu Yan, and Liu Xuan's was directly shipped to Zhang Chao; "The food is here! All right! Yuan Shao's military horse should also arrive, right? In fact, this product received a report from the scouts sent out to pick it up yesterday, and it is estimated that the war horse will be sent over this afternoon;" War is imminent! Soldier: The murder weapon too! As soon as the war broke out, there were many displaced people! Xi Zhicai sighed, and then his expression became serious: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses the lord plans to bring this time?" In what capacity do you plan to call yourself? What are our goals? Have you ever thought about what will happen after this battle? ”

Li Kai nodded in agreement, the princes have a lot to do with Dong, but what he wants to know most now is what kind of play his side quest - "Beacon Smoke Everywhere" is! There is only a time limit, and I don't say how it is completed! It's so depressing!

This kind of mysterious thing is actually the most annoying, he can do it very easily, or he can't finish it in a lifetime, there is nothing to do in these days, Li Kai has been wondering whether it is necessary to ignite the flames of war in the east, south, west, and north directions?

Perhaps, who knows? But now I have to think about the efforts and gains of the princes to ask for Dong, and there must be a purpose before that!

Yuan Shu didn't answer a word, he really didn't think about these things for him, he looked at Li Kai with his surname, Li Mouren rolled his eyes, and spread his hands: "Actually-I haven't thought about it either!"

"Just like businessmen, we have already started to pay now, and we have also made a capital with no way back, and we can't quit, so we can only think about our goals!" , Xi Zhicai is very speechless, how can this kind of big thing related to his family name not be considered carefully?

"In fact, our original purpose was to cheat some grain and grass to help the homeless, but now that the grain and grass are in hand, it is a hundred times easier than imagined, so we don't have any goals at all now, and we just play soy sauce when we go", Li Kai touched his nose, their goal had already been achieved, but they forgot it for a while!

"It's really good to cheat some food and grass!" , Xi Zhicai suddenly realized that he had seen Yuan Shu's letter from Yuan Shao, and there were two contents in his heart, first, Yuan Shu was very self-aware to give up the competition for the future leader of the coalition army, but Yuan Shao needed to pay 5,000 war horses; Yuan Shao finally readily agreed, after all, the alliance alliance will lead to him becoming the leader of the alliance, and he will stand at the top of the Han Dynasty and become the most influential person, in his eyes, it is far more valuable than five thousand war horses, after all, he is only Yuan Shu's opponent, how can he not be happy if Yuan Shu gives up?

In that letter, a lot of space was used to pat Yuan Shao's horses, and the conditions were euphemistically put forward, and only a few words were used to say another thing, that is, the second: in the spring, the army will consume a lot of grain and grass, I am afraid that it will affect the stability of the coalition army, the Liu royal family in the three southern states said very vaguely, Yuan Shao understood, and then there was a matter of asking for grain and grass; "I see!" , Xi Zhicai arched his hand towards Li: "Amazing! Xiaoxian, I said why did I always feel that something was wrong at the beginning! It turned out that the real purpose of the letter from the lord to Yuan Shao was this, for the sake of fame, Yuan Shao was willingly cheated! He also happily sent away 5,000 war horses! What a double eagle with one stone! ”

"Hehehe! This is all because of Yuan Gong's understanding of Yuan Shao, this strategy can be successful! After all, being a courtier can't always be so strong, when it's time to make a sycophant, you must, look at Yuan Shu's current appearance, it's really a smile!

"But we are going to meet the alliance this time, and we really can't just go for the sake of waving the flag and shouting, right?" , Xi Zhicai spread his hands: "Should we make a new one?" ”

"I went there before, it was nothing more than for fame and fortune, to build a certain prestige, and it will be a good show after the princes are over to discuss Dong!" , Li Mouren smiled very strangely: "I don't know what the lord and Brother Zhicai think of the result of this crusade?" ”

Xi Zhicai shook his head: "There is no prospect, but you have to participate, Dong Zhuo is either a big plan, or he has no foresight, he really shouldn't have any action now!" Once the princes are united, although he can guarantee that he will not be defeated, if he wants to win, it will be difficult."

"God knows what that madman was thinking!" , Li Kai sat on the ground: "What do you want to do so much?" Enter the king of Jingqin! We are all loyal servants of the Han family, this purpose is enough, right? ”

Looking at Li's sly gaze, Xi Zhi understood
