Chapter 201: Settle the Situation
When Guan Yu came to see that the two not only consolidated the city but also gained, the most important thing was to recover the Tiger Prison Pass, which greatly surprised Guan Yu, this scene made his mood much better all of a sudden, and became suddenly bright, Guan Yu fully affirmed the outstanding achievements of the two, and praised the tacit understanding between the two, in addition to commending the merits of the two, the level of the two was also upgraded by one level, and the reward was as a material reward, Zhang Liao and Li Yan were very excited.
Guan Yu successfully relieved Luoyang's urgency, successfully defeated Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew in the east, and successfully forced back Li Ji's army in the west, the entire Luoyang's external troubles were removed at once, Guan Yu's heart also became relaxed, Emperor Xian learned that Guan Yu calmed down the external troubles, and wrote Guan Yu's exploits into a silk to announce to the world, Guan Yu relied on his own strength to eradicate Luoyang's internal and external troubles in one fell swoop, and the court and the central government had special respect for this young man.
Guan Yu took control of Luoyang, did not participate in political affairs soon and did not directly intervene in this regard, he still respects the emperor, and he never asks about the women in the harem, Luoyang's military is all controlled by himself, and he does not care about the rest, in Guan Yu's opinion, at this time, he does not want to participate in the political competition between the DPRK and China so quickly, and now he has just gained a foothold, and there is no idea of continuing to expand power, but as Guan Yu, who is in the military power, the weight of his words should not be underestimated.
Luoyang City once again returned to its former calm, and the ministers of the court were so low-key in front of Guan Yu's great achievements, and Guan Yu was so loyal and never profited from others. Respect the emperor and make peace with the ministers. He did not commit any offence against the people, and what Guan Yu did was unanimously supported by the whole court. Guan Yu is a smart man, not only knows military affairs but also understands politics, and also shows superhuman talent in politics.
Guan Yu acted in a low-key manner, he had his own ideas and plans, after all, the imperial court was the imperial court for so many years, and his influence was still there, he wanted to make full use of these to pave the way for his future. The Quartet is full of power, many princes stand on their own, and the court is weak and unable to command these princes, but the court is the court after all, although it exists in name only, but his reputation still has a high influence, Guan Yu can rely on this uprising to crusade against the Quartet disobedient, the so-called "coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes", but he does not want to coerce the emperor. He can skillfully let Emperor Xian make decisions, and then send troops to recruit the rebellion of all parties, which is like Shu Prime Minister Zhuge Liang assisting Liu Chan, Liu Chan is his country steadily. Zhuge Liang gave him the world, and Zhuge Liang had the final say.
However, there is still a difference between Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, Zhuge Liang is foolish and loyal. He knew that Lu Dao Shu Han's qi was exhausted, but he had to turn the tide, and the final result was a complete defeat, of course, Zhuge Liang's military talent was limited. Guan Yu is different from him in this way, he wants to break into a new world with his talents. He will never die as unpaid as Zhuge Liang again, if nothing happens, because there are unforeseen circumstances, people have good and bad luck, since Guan Yu was hit by an arrow, he realized that life is so fragile, especially as a general in the army, even if your martial arts are high, no matter how great your strength is, but your fate is not your personal decision
Despite this, Guan Yu will not give up his dream because of this, as long as there is a breath left, he will fight to the end, "one minute of life, 60 seconds of struggle" will not stop moving forward because of this small setback, on the contrary, Guan Yu will also hit the water in the middle of the stream and become more and more courageous, but now he chooses to keep a low profile, this is not to prove that he has retreated, this is where he is higher than Dong Zhuo and other previous authoritarians, there have been many dictators in the past, such as the former general Dou Wu and He Jin, including the later Dong Zhuo, The high-profile indispensability eventually quickly withdrew from the stage of history.
Guan Yu decided not to follow their old path and follow in their footsteps, he wants to go out of a new road, this road can go long-term and let him continue to move forward, which requires a great wisdom, not only needs force and military but also needs to test his political wisdom, just imagine that even if you are strong enough, there are a lot of troops, and you are also powerful, but if you make too many enemies, not only will you add new resistance to your own progress, it will inevitably affect the realization of your dreams, and if you don't do it well, you will lose your efforts, he deeply remembers a sentence: water can carry a boat and can capsize a boat!
Guan Yu will consider three steps every step he takes, he considers the development of the future state of affairs, grasps the law of development of things, and only by taking precautions can he sit still, especially in this position now, there are too many things to consider, not as simple as simply considering the military before, he is now in charge of the imperial court, the court is the central government, there are many officials, not to mention the relatives of the emperor and the country, just talking about the civil and military ministers in the court, it is very important, that is, the so-called connections.
Guan Yu once followed Dong Zhuo to make many military exploits, but Dong Zhuo's infamy still directly affected his reputation, although he made outstanding achievements and made great contributions, but because the reputation of the people he followed was too bad, so he did not form a good impression in the eyes of everyone, but everyone was still more jealous of him, that was afraid of his force, and everyone did not recognize his merits, and later Guan Yu and Dong Zhuo turned against each other and killed him, Guan Yu's righteous act suddenly refuted the unanimous praise of the DPRK and the central government, and the people of the people also appreciated his actions. Everyone's opinion of him changed all at once.
Guan Yu made friends with many ministers in the DPRK before the coup d'état, and now his connections spread again, and more ministers agreed with him, Guan Yu took advantage of the situation to attack Dong Zhuo's power entrenched in the court and eradicated it together, Dong Zhuo's power was uprooted, and the court and China had no resistance and antagonism, Guan Yu agitated the army again, and firmly controlled the army of the entire Luoyang City in his own hands.
After controlling the army, Guan Yu defeated Dong Zhuo's peripheral forces this time, and eliminated the external troubles, and the court once again cast a approving look at him, Guan Yu's popularity rose again, at this time Guan Yu expressed his support for the emperor, only the military does not ask about political affairs, and returned to the court, so that Guan Yu once again won the unanimous praise of the court, everyone thinks that Guan Yu is a supporter of the court, is a loyal minister of the court, worthy of the trust of the court, and the emperor also fully affirmed Guan Yu's performance, so that he can continue to be in charge of the military power and let go of the big work.
At this time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was only 11 years old, still a child, so he did everything to obey the ministers of the court, who the ministers supported and opposed whom, he obeyed the minister's arrangement, before Dong Zhuo Feiyang, Emperor Xian had no way to take him, now there is Guan Yu, Guan Yu's various performances gradually won the trust of Emperor Xian, in the eyes of Emperor Xian, this is simply his own "reinvention father", if he hadn't been abolished by Dong Zhuo, if he didn't get it, he would have to lose his life, Guan Yu got rid of Dong Zhuo in time and cleaned up the situation in Luoyang, and then returned to the government and handed over the political affairs to himself, what a loyal minister?
After all, Emperor Xian is a child, and he still doesn't understand political affairs, so that political affairs have to be handed over to the ministers of the court, but Guan Yu's performance made the court and the central government deeply approve of his virtue, and Guan Yu's connections in the court laid the foundation at once, so he also gained a firm foothold in Luoyang.
In fact, Guan Yu's plan for Yu, now he has the military power to assist the emperor, and the emperor worships Guan Yu as the general who protects the country, "protecting the country" as the name suggests is to protect the country, if there is any threat to the imperial court, Guan Yu can be famous to crusade against him, of course, including not against the imperial court but against his own can be levied, because the emperor is still young, there is no such strong desire for power, to really want to take power at least ten years later, Guan Yu can make full use of the ten years to eliminate the separatist forces of the Quartet, and in these ten years, he can give it a go in the military and eliminate the uneven forces without worries, because he has now completely achieved "Annei".
This is why Guan Yu chose to be low-key to the court, the current court is his stable rear, with a stable rear he can move troops to the Quartet, once the Quartet princes are removed, then he Guan Yu will really become bigger and stronger, back in the reform of the court, if there is no disobedience to the rebellion, if the emperor at that time is still mediocre, then he can take his place, because to be a "Guan Emperor" dream is his ultimate ideal, he wants to the whole world to promote his thoughts and political philosophy, Benefiting the people of the world is a lofty dream that must be realized step by step, but this is what he is doing in front of him.
With the direction is like the sea sailing has coordinates, knowing where to go, every step of the life with a plan is solid and powerful, Guan Yu sits in Luoyang, temporarily appeases the power of the court, with Guan Yu's care, no one in the court dares to blow up the thorn, the emperor is stable to be his emperor, Guan Yu is thinking about the future direction while healing, and after he is injured, he will go to the killing field again, he is an idle person, the struggle is endless, he does not know how to live without this.
On this day, Guan Yu was recuperating from his injuries in the house, and his subordinates came to report that two people who claimed to be Guan Yu's brothers came to the door to see Guan Yu. Could it be? Guan Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up when he pondered like this, so he ordered: "Hurry up, please!" ”
After a while, he saw two people, one tall and one low, one fat and one thin, and went straight into the general's mansion, Guan Yu fixed his eyes and saw that it was his eldest brother Liu Xuande and his righteous brother Zhang Yide, Guan Yu was overjoyed and hurriedly let the two into the house, the three of them greeted each other, and reunited again and couldn't help crying with joy, and they were very happy to see each other, it turned out that since the last time Guan Yu sent a letter to Liu Bei in Jingzhou, the two of them packed their bags and got up and left Xiangyang and went straight to Luoyang (......to be continued)
