Chapter 172: Secret Meeting with Li Su

Guan Yu opened up the joint on Wenpin's side, and soon brewed Li Su's side, but he didn't want to go to Li Su, because he had already heard that Li Su had a grudge against Dong Zhuo, and he had been very close to Li Su for so many years, and Li Su was also open-mouthed to himself, and he once heard him say that he was a little dissatisfied with his current situation, and his heart was very unbalanced, and the reason was that the generals of his time had now improved a lot, and only he had been condescending to others and could not be reused. This time, Li Su was named Zhonglang General and Lieutenant of the Division, this is a real power position, I don't know what to do, Li Su is not satisfied this time?

Guan Yu decided to find out the truth, this night Guan Yu came to Li Su's Sili Captain's Mansion, but saw that the lights on the house were like day, the people were crowded, and the people coming and going to the house were endless, it was as lively as catching up with the market, Guan Yu couldn't help but sigh when he saw this: It seems that the business is very busy! Compared with the Pingdong General's Mansion in Wenpin, it is obviously a lot more lively here, it seems that Li Su, the lieutenant of the division, is doing well! Guan Yu thought about it while entering the Lieutenant's Mansion.

Guan Yu followed everyone into the house, but saw that a person in the house was busy with official business there, and someone was helping from time to time, Guan Yu walked in, Li Su didn't notice it at all, Guan Yu walked straight to Li Su, Li Su was still busy taking care of official business, Guan Yu greeted: "Wei Gong, this is really a lot!" It's a busy night! ”

Guan Yu's bell-like voice suddenly pulled Li Su out of trivial affairs, Li Su looked up and saw Guan Yu standing in front of him all of a sudden, but he quickly regained his composure and said: "Yun Chang! Why did you come to my house at night? Sit down! ”

"Wei Gong is so busy! I wanted to talk to you, but you see you're so busy with business here. I don't think I'm going to bother! Guan Yu was about to leave after speaking, when Li Su grabbed him.

Li Su said to Guan Yu: "What are you busy with!" The whole thing is a blind job! It's rare that you're lucky enough to be here. You see, we've all been promoted yet, and we haven't celebrated yet! Come on, come on, let's go into the back room and talk! ”

"What about the business at hand?" Guan Yu asked.

Li Su then said: "This can be completely handed over to my master to deal with!" ”

"Okay! Congratulations! Now they all have subordinates? It deserves to be the third product! The dignified commander of the Beijing division is different! I have to congratulate you this time! Guan Yu teased.

Li Su had a blank look on his face when he heard this, and he shook his head helplessly and said, "It's inconvenient to talk here, let's go to the back room to talk slowly!" Then they went into the back room

Li Su and Guan Yu quickly arrived in the back room and sat down. Li Su arranged for his subordinates to serve tea, and the two chatted while tasting tea, Li Su said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, congratulations on becoming a general this time!" ”

"Wei Gong made fun of me! What can I, the general, do now? In Luoyang, I'm afraid you're not as good as you, the lieutenant of the school! You see that you are in the market here, but my house is quiet and ruthless! Guan Yu sighed.

Li Su argued: "Don't mention it! What you see is all superficial, what do you think I am? Do you think I'm really the leader in charge of the Luoyang Imperial Forest Army? Ay! Then you are very wrong, brother, I can't hide it that I am not as beautiful as you imagined now! ”

"Humility! Absolute modesty! Congratulations! It's not like you're who you are! After being promoted and making a fortune, he became official, who doesn't know that the position of lieutenant of the division is the patron saint of the capital! The soldiers under him are wide, the wealth is abundant, and if you want money, you have money, you want people, it is definitely a good position that many generals yearn for! Look at what you've said? If you're confused, forget it. Even I'm confused? Guan Yu continued to explore.

Li Su complained: "Yun Chang only knows one but doesn't know the other! The position of the lieutenant of the division is fat, but you have to see who does it, I was named the lieutenant general and the lieutenant of the division, and now I have two bosses on my head: one is the big Sima Dong Wen, which is needless to mention, he is the chief officer in charge of the military of the three princes, and he naturally has to listen to others. The second is the general of the cavalry, Guo Yan, who is my supervisor, and has the most say in the defense of the capital, the transfer of the Imperial Forest Army, and the increase or decrease of palace guards. If there is anything in this regard, I must report it to General Guo at the first time, only if he nods and agrees, although I am a lieutenant of the division but the actual military power is really limited, but the other government affairs and logistics affairs of the whole Luoyang are attributed to my head. That's why I'm so busy, you get the idea, right? ”

Guan Yu pretended to be puzzled when he heard this: "This is a little wrong, how can a dignified captain be someone's housekeeper?" Besides, this is clearly the position of a military general! But how to do government affairs? If I were you. I don't care about that, I'm in charge of the military. Who asked him to arrange for me to be the lieutenant of this division? Government affairs should be the business of Luoyang Order, how can you, a military general, manage it? ”

"Yun Chang doesn't know. I'm not a simple lieutenant, isn't it still the title of a lieutenant general? According to this position, I will be assigned to government affairs, of course, the Luoyang Order is also in charge of government affairs, but the Luoyang Order is in charge of the political affairs of the entire Luoyang, and I am in charge of the political affairs of the entire Imperial City, in fact, what is the political affairs? That's just a big internal manager, all the big and small things in the life of the royal family and logistics are all under me, not to mention how depressed I am! Li Su continued to complain.

Guan Yu understood a lot now, and he continued to explore: "The chief manager of Ouchi is also good!" How about still being in power? Ha Lu Ha"

"Who wants to do the job of wiping someone's buttocks!" Li Su continued.

Guan Yu continued: "Then you, the captain of the division, don't you have any real power at all? ”

"Don't say no! I'm in charge of a part of the Imperial Army, 20,000 men! Li Su continued.

Guan Yu pretended to be relieved when he heard this: "Okay! 20,000 horses, my good boy! ”

"Far from it! What do all the 20,000 horses do? Yes? These 20,000 horses are not escorts but are used as honor guards, ushering in and sending off, what kind of escort convoys! It's all about logistics etiquette, I'm miserable enough this time, Yun Chang, but it's not too interesting! Li Su said, his eyes rolling

Guan Yu understands it all now, it seems that Li Su has been divided into the position of "logistics minister" this time, in fact, this position should be regarded as a fat difference, there is a lot of oil and water to be fished, but this position is obviously not Li Su's ideal, Li Su yearns for the kind of general who leads the troops to fight, and is definitely not this Zhonglang general, which is contrary to his ideals, of course, Li Su plays this role, which is also his "bright rise and dark fall", why do you say that?

Li Su has always had a good relationship with Guan Yu, and the two have always been very close, and they have often come and go and become good friends who talk about everything, and they have a close personal relationship. This directly attracted the attention of Guan Yu's opposite, "Li Dao, Guo Yan's camp", especially Li Ru's special attention, this camp gradually formed a huge force circle headed by Li Dao, Guo Yan, Fan Chou, Zhang Ji, etc., this circle secretly competed with Guan Yu, Li Ru as Dong Zhuo's son-in-law witnessed all this, but he never expressed his position, and later Guan Yu's power continued to rise, and his strength also grew stronger and stronger as if he became Dong Zhuo's first subordinate, Li Ru was worried that Guan Yu would do a big tiger for trouble, so he strongly supported Li Dao, Guo Yan's camp tried his best to crack down on and exclude Guan Yu's camp, Li Su, as Guan Yu's friend, was bound to be unable to get out of it, and Li Ru also recorded this account on his head.

Li Su was undoubtedly excluded, although his position was not in vain, but he was suddenly pushed into the background, as a general who has followed Dong Zhuo for many years, Li Su's influence is still there, and it is precisely because of this that he was extra guarded by Li Ru, afraid that he has too much military power, and after repeated research and careful scrutiny, he was assigned this role.

As a veteran, Li Su understands the weight of it, but he doesn't understand why this is happening, but it is certain that Li Su is quite dissatisfied with the status quo, and naturally he is estranged from Dong Zhuo, but now he is still doing everything obediently, after all, he is also a positive third product, Guan Yu quickly understood Li Su's mentality through talking, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice: It seems that Li Su will definitely "make a difference" in the future

Guan Yu quickly understood the minds of the two through contact with Wen Ping and Li Su, and after calculating, he was more confident in his heart, not to mention his subordinates Zhang Liao and Li Yan, these two people are Wang Ba's iron heart with his own, and there will definitely be no accidents, so it is calculated that once an incident occurs, there will be four forces that can be used for his own use, and there will be about 80,000 people, which should be regarded as a lot of strength, Guan Yu is full of confidence in the future.

Just when Guan Yu was calculating, Dong Zhuo's side had already begun to plan a big action, what action? This time, he Dong Zhuo is going to have a bigger palace storm, what storm? That is to crown yourself! Crowned himself as King Mei, added nine tins, did the things of the king, and became a great master on an equal footing with Emperor Han Xian! Dong Zhuo's ambition can be seen.

The previous time he did the abolition of the establishment of the matter called the opposition of many ministers in the court, this time his own coronation opposition must be greater resistance, so he made preparations in advance in the court, his younger brother Dong Wen, the general of the cavalry Guo Yan are all carrying swords to the palace, and outside the hall also arranged a large number of sword and axe hands, for those who do not follow the law on the spot, Dong Zhuo's coronation prayer was drafted by his son-in-law Li Ru, and soon this matter was put on the agenda.

On this day, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind is beautiful, the sun is shining, and the white birds are singing, what a beautiful picture this is, but the atmosphere of Wenming Hall on this day is not so harmonious, at this time there is something brewing in Wenming Palace, what is it? That is the matter of Dong Zhuo's coronation as King Mei, at this time, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty in the Wenming Palace returned to their respective positions, and everyone's faces were solemn, and they were all nervous (to be continued. )
