Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Shi Xun was ordered to hold the festival to supervise the generals of Guanxi to crusade against Li Dao and Guo Yan, but the road was far away, and before the autumn ripened, the imperial court really could not send too many soldiers and horses to accompany him. Because of this, Guo Jiacai set up a transfer of Lu Bu to join the expedition - after all, Lu Bu respected the Son of Heaven more than Ma Teng, Yang Qiu and others, and also had the heart to please thieves.

But then the question also came, if you don't give enough benefits, why should Lu Buken help calm Guanzhong? You refused to seal him up in the Guanzhong area afterwards. When Shi Xun and Lu Su discussed this issue, they couldn't help but think more far-reaching: Lu Bu curled up in the middle of Hedong County, temporarily unable to go north to compete with Yuan Shao, if he went south to take Hongnong, it would cut off the connection between Xuchang and Chang'an, and he was not Zhang Xiu, so he was really willing to nest in a square inch for a long time? So Shi Xun told Cao Cao the next day that Lu Bu "will change for a long time", and he has to find a direction for him to show and let him stay away from us to toss alone.

So, where is it used as an outlet for Lu Bu's forces? Shi Xun gave an idea, and Cao Cao wrote the name of the place on their hands, and then flattened their palms, and they couldn't help laughing "haha" - it turned out that both of them had the word "Liangzhou" written on their hands.

Liangzhou is vast, Qiang and Hu are mixed, and the imperial court has always been unmanageable - the reason why the Eastern Han Dynasty declined was actually a big reason that the long-term Qiang rebellion was difficult to pacify, which weakened the prestige of the imperial court and emptied the country's treasury. Besides, Ma Teng and Han Sui are not easy to follow, let Lu Bu go to eat dog with them, and Cao Cao just took the opportunity to free up his hands to deal with Yuan Shao.

Shi Xun felt that the general trend of the world had been completely reversed, and he gradually couldn't grasp the context clearly, and letting Lu Buxi go to Liangzhou was a clever plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf. Or is it a bad idea to raise tigers? He really couldn't figure it out. But he knew that it was very dangerous to continue to put Lu Bu in Hedong, and his earliest plan with Dong Zhao was to hope that Lu Bu would go north to compete with Yuan Shao for the annexation of the state, but there were mountains between Hedong and the annexed state, and it was not easy to cross. It is estimated that Lu Bu will not be able to beat it. Lu Bu has no hope of going north, and if he wants to take the Guanzhong court in the west, he may not be willing to agree, will he go south, ravage Hongnong and Henan, and become Cao Cao's henchman? It's a disaster anyway, so it's better to stay around. It's better to travel a little farther.

So Lu Sujian led Lu Bu to Liangzhou, and Xun couldn't understand the pros and cons after thinking about it all night, so he had to make a statement to Cao Cao, and then Cao Cao told him, Xun Gongda also told me this last night, it was Xun who put a stone in his stomach - with Lu Su and Xun You, the two contemporary strategists to vouch, this idea should not be too bad.

So he went back and discussed it with Lu Su repeatedly. How could he persuade Lu Bu to throw down Hedong and not occupy Guanzhong, but ran to compete with Ma Teng, Han Sui and others for Liangzhou. Lu Su asked: "Who is the one that Lu Bu hates?" Shi Xun thought for a while and replied to him: "The first is Li Dao and Guo Yan, who drove them out of Chang'an in the past; the second is Yuan Shao, Lu Bu is asking Zhang Yan for him, and he wants to harm Lu Bu; The third is Cao Gongye. He once fought for Yanzhou. ”

Lu Su nodded slightly: "Qing went to Luoyang and Huayin, and all the words with Lu Bu were also told to Su Zhi, and as Su saw, Lu Bu respected the Son of Heaven very much, but the Son of Heaven was in the hands of Cao Gong, and Lu Bu did not dare to fight." If there is a secret edict from the Son of Heaven. Turn Lu Bu as the pastor of Liangzhou, so that he can pacify Liangzhou, and Su is expected to be willing to set off - a corner of the east of the river, which is not a place to be used. Lu Bu can't live there. Although, Lu Bu is easy to drive, Chen Gong is difficult to say, if he obstructs it, I am afraid that it will not be able to do anything. ”

So Shi Xun pondered his head, how to convince Chen Gong? Let's think about it from the beginning, what kind of mind will Chen Gong have, and what will he do with Lu Bu? Originally, the Chen Palace in history was bent on asking Lu Bu to break Cao Cao and join Yuan Shu, because it was he and Zhang Miao who masterminded Cao Cao and introduced Lu Bu to Yanzhou, so anyone can ask Cao Cao for forgiveness afterwards, and eighty percent will be forgiven, only the two of them cannot. But now Lu Bu's power is too small to confront Cao Cao alone, and there is no one around him who can unite - is it possible to unite with Yuan Shao? Lu Bu hated Yuan Shao a hundred times more than he hated Cao Cao!

Lu Fengxian was by no means obedient to Chen Gongtai and trusted him, which was the case in the original history. Chen Gong wanted to join Yuan Shu and refused Cao Cao, Chen Deng persuaded Lu Bu to abandon Yuan Shu and ally with Cao Cao, Chen Gong failed to fight Chen Deng, and later instigated Hao Meng and others to engage in military advice, but was defeated by Lu Bu. Lu Bu didn't kill Chen Gong just yet, because he still needed Chen Gong, and these two goods were not models of the lord and the sage, but the naked mutual use relationship of "chiluo".

Therefore, if Lu Bu really made up his mind to go to Liangzhou, Chen Gong would not be able to twist it back at all, so he could only secretly stumble. Of course, it's better for him not to even stumble...... So what should we do?

No, you have to think about it the other way, why did Chen Gong betray Cao Cao and welcome Lu Bu in the first place? Of course, the root is because Cao Cao suppressed the powerful clan in Yanzhou, but Chen Gong itself is also a medium portal, not a pure family, it is definitely not because of any class feelings. It should be that Chen Gong thinks that Cao Cao is so careless, and sooner or later he will mess up Yanzhou, so he rebelled in order to protect his hometown and his own future.

But it turns out that Chen Gong misjudged the shape and took the wrong path, and now Cao Cao not only stabilized Yanzhou, but also took Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Huainan, and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, almost indestructible. I believe that Chen Gong must have regretted it in retrospect, but regret is regret, it is impossible for him to turn back, it is impossible to beg Cao Cao's forgiveness - Cao Cao may not be willing to forgive him.

In the original history, Lu Bu was taught in Baimen Tower, and Cao Cao still wanted to say that Chen Palace was coming, but Chen Gong resolutely refused to surrender and died generously. In fact, there is no one who is not afraid of the dead, Chen Gong and Lu Bu are not real monarchs and ministers, and there is no precedent for rebellion, is it necessary for him to be so stupid and loyal? Shi Xun felt that Chen Gong was not stupid and loyal, but that he had been friends for many years, and he had already seen through Cao Cao, who coveted the reputation of love and magnanimity for a while and did not kill him, and then maybe he would find an opportunity to settle accounts after the autumn, and he might even affect his wife and children at that time. It's better to die quickly, and you can still get a "your wife, I will raise it".

Therefore, Chen Gong must be very contradictory now, and he wants to surrender to Cao but has no way. If you want to resist Cao and have no way, simply plan for Lu Bu, Lu Bu may not listen to him all. In this state of mind, if you run to tell him, simply stay away from Boss Cao, he will not be out of sight and out of mind, and you will be down-to-earth. Will he listen?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile: "Chen Gong can also say it." ”

Yes, Lu and Lu agreed on a plan, and on the way west, Lu Su crossed the Yellow River, went to Anyi to meet Lu Bu, and handed over the secret edict of the Son of Heaven. Lu Bu was turned into a pastor of Liangzhou and asked him to pacify Liangzhou. Lu Su told Lu Bu that the imperial court wanted to take the opportunity of courting Li Dao and Guo Yan to settle Guanzhong and Guanxi in one fell swoop, but the old capital of Guanzhong was located and it was impossible to give it to Wen Hou, so he hoped that Wen Hou could take Liangzhou. Yongwei is the western part of the imperial court.

Then, he analyzed for Lu Bu, saying that although the Liangzhou soldiers were brave and difficult to control, Han Sui, Ma Teng and others only temporarily colluded together, and the generals also had their own thoughts, as long as they could divide and disintegrate, they would be broken one by one, and it would not be difficult. Moreover. As long as Guanzhong is completely stabilized, and Wen Hou also has a firm foothold in Liangzhou, the imperial court will naturally send a large army to reinforce - "Wen Hou does not have to be afraid of difficulties, with Chen Gongtai as a supplement, Liangzhou is not enough to be peaceful." ”

He kept saying that Liangzhou was "not enough to be flat", but the information revealed in and out of his words was: The Liangzhou soldiers are very powerful, and they can't beat anyone except you. And even Wen Hou you, may not be able to really calm Ma Teng and Han Sui in one go; But don't be afraid, there are still reinforcements in the imperial court. It seems that he is afraid that Lu Bu will be afraid of the generals of Xiliang and dare not obey his fate. So I want to find all kinds of reasons to relieve Lu Bu's heart.

This is a roundabout tactic, Lu Bu couldn't hear it, and he raised his eyebrows and beard there: "A certain Liangzhou soldier is like a miscellaneous soldier, and Han and Ma are like grass mustard!" It was impossible for Chen Gong next to him not to hear it, but he just followed Lu Su's words and said that Liangzhou was difficult to decide, so please Lu Bu must plan carefully and not be rash.

Because Lu Su quietly went to see Chen Gong before meeting Lu Bu, and the words were very clear, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were afraid of General Lu, and sooner or later they would meet each other, and there was really no room for manoeuvre in the corner of Hedong. Especially you, Chen Gongtai, have an enmity with Cao Gong, Cao Gong often hates you with his teeth, and wants to write to Lu Bu and ask Lu Bu to send you to Xuchang as an envoy, so as to take your life. It's better for you all to go to Liangzhou, the distance is far away, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are all out of reach, Liangzhou is broad, the people are brave, and it is also a good base for kings and hegemons.

Chen Gong sneered while listening, and then asked Lu Su: "This plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf, what do you want?" Lu Su replied with an honest face: "This is not Su's strategy, but what Hongfu, Xun Gongda and Cao Gong said, it is Lu Bu wolf and tiger, it is better to drive it away." And the imperial court also wants to close the middle. ”

Chen Gong pondered for a long time, feeling that whether it was for Lu Bu or for himself, this Hedong region was really too narrow, there was no future for development, and there was a possibility of being attacked at any time. So he said in a deep voice: "You Zi said to General Lu that if he agrees, the palace will have no objections. ”

Although he abstained from voting on the surface, Chen Gong actually agreed to go to Liangzhou, so when Lu Su persuaded Lu Bu, he also helped a little beside him - Lu Bu immediately accepted the secret edict.

Then Lu Su told Lu Bu that he and Shixun were going west this time, and planned to gather the generals of Guanzhong and Guanxi to besiege Chang'an. When Lu Bu heard this, he pouted coldly: "It's just right, so-and-so is under Chang'an City, and they will all be wiped out!" ”

These are all discussed by Xun and Lu Su in advance, and they are established policies, so at the banquet today, it is Xun who wants to provoke the relationship between Lu Bu and Ma Teng again, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu's temper would be so violent, and he would be killed by Ma Yi as soon as he drank his poppy! Is this Lu Bu? This is Zhang Fei! In the original history, Lu Bu sent people under the fence many times, from Dong Zhuo to Yuan Shao to Zhang Yang to Liu Bei, if he wanted to be pinched out by someone with this temper, right?

Lu Feng was full of arrogance at first, but he didn't necessarily care so much, he was not an elegant or wise person, but he was not completely uneducated, how could he dare to act so recklessly at a banquet convened by an angel? Did he really ignore his temper as soon as he came up, or did he do it on purpose?

It was Xun who looked at Lu Bu, and Lu Bu turned his head, but smiled smugly at him.
