Chapter 39 Lu Bu asks for food
Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhuo's flushed face, with a chaotic aura on his body, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, it seemed that the hero had begun to twilight.
I think that when Dong Zhuo was in Kansai, he laid the foundation for his long-term development in the future. Under the trend of ambition, Dong Zhuo scattered his family property and befriended the Qiang heroes.
After Dong Zhuo's years of operation, his power is constantly expanding, and his status has also risen, in order to obtain a broader political space, he has formed a good Qiang handsome outside, bribed ten permanent servants inside, and began to further accumulate strength and wait for opportunities for development.
After that, Dong Zhuo served as Yulin Lang and commanded the Yulin Army of Yuanjun. Soon, he was promoted to the rank of military commander and followed the Zhonglang general Zhang Huan to conquer the Qiang people who rebelled in the state. In the battle, Dong Zhuo tried his best to show himself, giving full play to his brave and strong advantages, rushing and killing, leaving and right bows, due to his outstanding achievements, he was promoted to Langzhong because of his merits, and later he was promoted to Guangwu Ling, the northern lieutenant of the county guard, and the captain of the Western Regions.
Dong Zhuo, who was well aware of the factional disputes in the imperial court, did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to cultivate forces in Luoyang City in order to understand the movements of Luoyang, so that the scoundrels in the entire Luoyang City became Dong Zhuo's eagle dog and collected intelligence for Dong Zhuo.
After learning the news of Emperor Ling's banquet, he closely watched the movements of various factions in the imperial court, and was ready to take corresponding measures at any time to act at the opportunity.
Soon, He Jin secretly recruited Dong Zhuo into Beijing and killed the ten permanent servants, Dong Zhuo felt that the time was ripe, raised troops overnight, and went straight to Luoyang.
After that, Lu Bu was reborn and cooperated with Dong Zhuo in a series of things.
Looking at Dong Zhuo, whose face was flushed, Lu Bu took a few steps forward and arched his hand: "See Xiangguo"
Dong Zhuo pursed his lips, nodded, and stepped forward to help Lu Bu: "You don't have to be polite first."
Then Dong Zhuo walked to the main seat and sat down, looking at Lu Bu who was still standing, Dong Zhuo stretched out his hand and pressed down: "Sit first, sit"
After Lu Bu thanked him, he walked to the left and sat down. Li Ru stood next to Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu didn't beat around the bush, raised his eyebrows in vain, and said in a serious tone: "I heard that Xiangguo is going to transfer me out of Luoyang and garrison Xingyang, I don't know if this matter is true or not." ”
The matter of letting Lu Bu garrison Xingyang was the result of yesterday's discussion with Li Ru, and he was not afraid that Lu Bu would lead his troops back to the state, because Lu Bu still had the handle in his own hands.
After Dong Zhuo heard this, he pretended to be helpless and said: "Fengxian, it is also a helpless move to transfer you to Xingyang, you also know that the departure of the Yuan brothers will definitely cause the response of the heroes of the Kanto region, Xingyang is a place to rush, I don't worry about others to garrison, only Fengxian you can take on this great responsibility"
Dong Zhuo spoke very slowly, as if every sentence had to be held in his mouth and thought deeply. And he didn't hide the real purpose of transferring Lu Bu to the real purpose, he knew that Lu Bu was a smart person, so it was better to tell him directly.
Lu Bu took a deep breath, stared at Dong Zhuo's eyes tightly, and said word by word: "Isn't it that Xiangguo has already controlled Luoyang City, so you don't need me Lu Bu."
Dong Zhuo clasped his hands together, shot in the air, and said solemnly: "Feng Xian has been thinking about it a lot, you also know that we are just cooperating with each other, you are seeking officials, and I am to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the two complement each other." ”
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows: "Yes, I am seeking an official, but if there was no me, how could Xiangguo sit in Luoyang, Xiangguo not only did not give me what I wanted, but let me be the ruling Jinwu, and lead the empty shell of the state assassin history, I won't talk about it, and now Xiangguo has asked me to guard Xingyang for you, block the Kwantung princes, Xiangguo, don't you play Lu Bu as a child." Lu Bu paused, and suddenly changed the topic abruptly: "But it's not impossible to let me guard Xingyang, but can Xiangguo agree to the next condition?" ”
Hearing that Lu Bu promised to guard Xingyang, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, and his lazy body straightened slightly.
"It's okay to say first"
Lu Bu tilted his head and said with a smile: "I have an army of 100,000 in the state, except for the baggage battalion, horse boy, Huotou battalion, scout battalion and other non-soldier soldiers, there are a total of 70,000 or 80,000 soldiers with armor, and the last time I lost nearly 10,000 soldiers with Xiangguo, but there are still 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers, and now there is no surplus food in the army. ”
Before Dong Zhuo could answer, Lu Bu continued: "Xiangguo don't say no, I recently heard that Xiangguo has looted a lot of wealthy households in Luoyang, and this 200,000 quintals of grain is just a dime a dozen for Xiangguo, and when Emperor Ling was there, he hoarded a lot of finances in Xiyuan, and Dong Gong must have taken a lot." ”
"What? 200,000 quintals? Dong Zhuo suddenly got up and pointed at Lu Bu and said: "Lu Bu, you really dare to speak, 200,000 quintals of grain and grass are enough for you and the state army to eat for half a year, and there may not be 200,000 quintals of land accumulated in a county for two years." ”
After hearing this, Lu Bu sneered and said, "Gong Dong, since I led the Bingzhou tribe to join you, the food I ate was brought from Bingzhou. Now there is not much left, if Dong Gong does not give grain and grass, Nabu has to take the troops back to the state, but I dare to say, as long as I Lu Bu leaves, the Kwantung princes will definitely come to attack immediately, Xiangguo, I am afraid that your foundation is not stable at that time, see how you resist the Kwantung princes. ”。
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he lowered his head and played with his fingers, ignoring Dong Zhuo, who was about to get angry, he calculated that Dong Zhuo would definitely agree to him, but not 200,000, at most 100,000. But it is enough to eat the army of the state for three months, and after three months, the princes of the Eighteenth Road will detain the tiger prison, even if Lu Bu does not give Dong Zhuo a request, Dong Zhuo will obediently give the grain and grass.
is saying that even if Dong Zhuo doesn't give him food and grass, he will go to Xingyang, but he just wants to ask for some benefits from Dong Zhuo.
Sure enough, after Dong Zhuo heard Lu Bu's words, his eyebrows rose upside down, and his eyes were about to split: "Lu Bu, you are threatening me"
Lu Bu sneered: "Dong Gong, it's not that I threaten you, you want me to guard Xingyang for you, don't give me anything, how can I keep it?" , Since Dong Gong does not agree, then he will take his troops back to Bingzhou tomorrow and say goodbye", after Lu Bu finished speaking, he quickly got up and said goodbye to Dong Zhuo.
After walking a few steps, Lu Bu turned around leisurely, looked at Dong Zhuo with an angry face, and said lightly: "Dong Gong, it's not that I, Lu Bu, am sorry for you, but you are sorry for you, and it's just that Dong Gong's official position is not given, and now he is reluctant to give grain and grass, and he asked me to guard Xingyang for you, don't you really think that someone has a handle in your hands, you deceive me like this, and you are not afraid to tell you, those who become big things are not informal, even if you tell me about killing Ding Yuan?" If so-and-so dares to kill him, what is there to fear? ”
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he snorted coldly, turned around and walked out.
Li Ru was shocked, because Lu Bu was right, now that Dong Zhuo's foundation is not stable, if Lu Bu leads the state army to leave, then the Kwantung princes will definitely take advantage of the situation.
"Be the first and be slow"
Seeing Lu Bu who was about to leave the council hall, Li Ru hurriedly went up and pulled his sleeve.
ps: There is a change in the evening, and I reviewed it all afternoon today, and I just came back. I hope you all voted, thank you.
