Chutian didn't expect Mulan to snatch back Lu Zhi, who was one of the hundred officials in Luoyang, in a sense...... This time I grabbed a big guy back.

Lu Zhi is not only a commander, but also a great Confucian of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a higher rank than Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, who still have to be respectful in front of him. Unlike the recruited generals, he is a truly influential celebrity in the Eastern Han Dynasty of the "Lord" world, and he is also one of the "Three Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty" who suppressed the Yellow Turban Army uprising, alongside Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

When he met his former temporary boss, Chu Tian hurriedly asked people to give him a seat.

To curry favor with Lu Zhi, with Lu Zhi's fame, even if Chutian is not as famous as the third prince of Yuan Shao, he can also gain the support of the Eastern Han scholar class.

"I'll give you a seat too."

Chu Tian saw that the other hundred officials were still silent, in order to ease the atmosphere and make this group of officials believe that they were good people and different from Dong Zhuo, so he showed favor to them.

Lu Zhi saw that the officials had calmed down, so he patiently reminisced with Chu Tian: "Two years ago, when the battlefield in Guangzong County was goodbye, you were still a rebel lord, and now you are powerful in Kanto, and you are General Fubo and Langya Xiang, I have heard of it. ”

Chu Tian said respectfully: "In front of Mr., Zimou is still a little immature. Today, Dong Zhuo cholera government, set fire to Luoyang, heaven and people are angry, so in response to the Kwantung princes' coalition army, crusade against Dong thief. ”

"It is a good thing for the country and the people."

"I see that Mr. and you have nowhere to go, so it is better to move to Xia City. Although Xia City is not an absolute paradise, it has never been conquered, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is just right for adults to live in. Although I am poor, I can still provide money and food to the adults every month. ”

Chu Tian tried to fool Lu Zhi and this group of reputable civil officials into going to Xia City.

Xia Cheng can feed twenty or thirty civil officials who eat dry food, and this group of civil officials can bring some intangible bonuses to Xia Cheng and expand the cultural influence of Langya Kingdom, overall, it is not a loss.

Lu Zhi's expression was gloomy: "Now that the dynasty is in turmoil, the world is difficult to stabilize, I plan to return to Zhuoxian County to live in seclusion, and never ask about the world." ”

Lu Zhi wants to live in seclusion?

Chu Tian was unwilling to give up the opportunity to recruit a commander and a great Confucian, so he said: "This is not true. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband. The world is in turmoil, the people are in dire straits, even a butcher should join the army, pacify the world, in exchange for Li Min a Lang ruling the world, not to mention that Mr. has been the North Zhonglang will suppress the Yellow Turban. Isn't the gentleman ashamed? ”

"The rise and fall of a good world is the responsibility of the husband."

Lu Zhi preached a posterity, and this posterior survived every word, to the point.

Lu Zhi himself is an upright person, and he was so stimulated by Chu Tian, even if two or three people knew Chu Tian's intentions, he was still willing to take the initiative.

This is a conspiracy.

Dealing with people with upright personalities and no lords, Chu Tian felt that it was easy.

Loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, fame, profit, sex, human nature is nothing more than this.

Lu Zhi took the initiative to ask: "General Fubo is young and promising, and he must have lofty ambitions, but I don't know what countermeasures he can take to calm the world?" ”

Chu Tian replied: "The only way to stop martial arts is to use Ge to stop fighting. ”

Lu Zhi pondered: "Recently, I have been thinking for a long time, and this is the only way......"

It turns out that Lu Zhi also advocates the idea of using force to pacify the world?

Speaking of which, how could a lieutenant general who personally commanded and suppressed Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Army not realize the importance of force?

Unlike Kong Rong, who was also a Confucian and was driven away by the Yellow Turban Army, Lu Zhi was the military commander who forced Zhang Jiao to Guangzong City. He doesn't talk about it, and he doesn't despise force.

Historically, Lu Zhi served as Yuan Shao's military advisor for a time, but Lu Zhi died a year later.

Chu Tian saw that the timing was about the same, and put forward the intention of soliciting: "Zimou is not talented, Langya Kingdom only has 50,000 soldiers and horses, which is nothing in the world, and Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of troops at every turn cannot be compared, but Zimou is determined to cultivate himself and rule the country and the world, and I hope to get Mr. assistance." ”

Chu Tian openly recruited Lu Zhi, and the other twenty or thirty officials all showed different colors.

In their opinion, if Lu Zhi was loyal to Chu Tian, it would be condescension.

Lu Zhi's generation is two generations older than Chutian, coupled with his amazing influence, he wants Lu Zhi to be an official under Chutian's Langya Xiang?

"Please allow me to think about it."

Lu Zhi obviously didn't think about whether to live in seclusion or become a monk. In the past few months, the Ten Standing Attendants, Yuan Shao, and Dong Zhuo have come to power like flowers, which has dealt a great blow to Lu Zhi.

"Your Excellency, you can think about it during this time. Dong Zhuo controls the imperial court, like a hungry tiger and a jackal, you go to Chang'an, you can't escape death, and you can't govern the government. If you want to live in seclusion, you can consider going to Langya Country, and you will never be reluctant to do so. ”

Except for Lu Zhi, to be honest, the others Chutian can't look down on.

If they can be allowed to migrate to Xia City, it is naturally best to increase the influence of Langya Kingdom. If they didn't want to, Chu Tian didn't want to force a group of Confucian students, otherwise he was afraid that he would be notorious.

"Yes, there is a 'Du Fu Thatched Cottage' in Xiacheng, which is a gathering place for literati and artists, and you must benefit a lot from a trip to Xiacheng."

Chutian tried to use literati to attract literati, so that more literati gathered in Du Fu's thatched cottage and expanded the influence of Du Fu's thatched cottage.

Many civil officials looked at each other: "General Fubo, we have not heard of Du Fu's thatched cottage. ”

"Your lords are in trouble, and you have nowhere to go, why don't you go to Xia Cheng and see what Du Fu's thatched cottage is. I will take care of the food. ”

Chu Tian had a way to fool them to Xia City, and there was a way to keep some of them.

It is unrealistic to leave everyone in Langya Country, after all, everyone has their own ambitions.

This group of civil officials was ransacked by the rebels, destitute, and the imperial court was controlled by Dong Zhuo, and they went to Chang'an to die.

"Bo Jiao, I intend to go to Langya Country, what do you think?"

Lu Zhi looked at one of the civil officials, as if he wanted to ask his opinion.

Chu Tian knew that Lu Zhi was calling the other party's words.

Bo Jiao, isn't this Cai Yong's word? Cai Yong, a writer and calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty, was proficient in music and rhythm, was very famous in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was also Cai Wenji's father.

It turned out that he was also captured by Mulan......

Cai Yong thought for a while, and finally said: "If Langya doesn't think we old guys are cumbersome, I'm willing to go to Xia Cheng to have a look." ”

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong planned to go, and soon other civil officials responded. Literati always conform to the herd, and when the prestigious Lu Zhi and Cai Yong nodded, others flocked to them.

That's how important fame is.

Chutian is also famous in the Eastern Han Dynasty. His fame is the greatest among the players, followed by the princes, and then the family.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew Lu Zhi before, Lu Zhi might not have been so patient in talking to him.

After getting rid of a group of Confucians such as Lu Zhi and Cai Yong, the families in Xuzhou probably don't dare to look down on Chutian.

This group of civil officials has been frightened recently, so Chu Tian asked people to prepare meals for them so that they could be entertained.

The princes from all walks of life were stationed under the Hangu Pass, and in addition to Chutian, the other princes also grabbed some officials.

In the eyes of the princes, population, money and grain, war horses, hundred officials, and the Son of Heaven are all resources that can be used to compete for hegemony. Some resources are tangible, while others are intangible.

Liu Bei's camp was set up near Chutian's camp, and when he learned that Lu Zhi was in Chutian's camp, he was shocked and immediately came to visit.

Liu Bei didn't think that Chu Tian would murder him.

"Xuande has seen his teacher!"

Liu Bei visited his teacher and performed disciple etiquette.

But then Liu Bei felt that something was wrong.

Chu Tian and Lu Zhi sat side by side, talking and laughing, how did he feel that he was inferior to Chu Tian...... A friend of his mentor...... How is this generation calculated?

Liu Bei was even more puzzled.

Chu Tian snatched some of his military exploits, and now he didn't even let go of his mentor.

Lu Zhi and Liu Bei met, and the two talked about the old days a little, and learned that another student, Gongsun Zhan, was besieged by the Wuhuan tribe in Liaoxi, and couldn't help but sigh.

Chang'an, Dong Zhuo finally escaped here, and it was difficult to measure the soldiers and losses.

Hu Zhen, the commander of the cavalry, was killed, the two generals Xu Rong and Hua Xiong were missing, and Dong Zhuo's forces were greatly hit.

Xu Rong and Hua Xiong are generals to Dong Zhuo, and he asked people to inquire about the whereabouts of the two generals.

"The deserter returned, Zhonglang captured Xu Rong as a silver-armored and white-robed junior general when the Tiger Prison Pass fell!"

"That's Chu Zimou's general!"

Dong Zhuojing reminded that the other party was a silver armor and white robe, and most likely he was one of the two fierce generals who fought against Lu Bu under the Tiger Prison.

"The whereabouts of the cavalry captain Huaxiong have been discovered, and Yan Huaxiong, a member of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who escaped back, was captured alive by the silver-armored and white-robed young general, and his life and death are unknown!"

Dong Zhuo learned that the two right-hand men were captured by Chu Tian one after another, and his slightly bloated body trembled slightly, and he was extremely afraid of Chu Tian.

"Report! Chu Zimou united with the princes of Kwantung and stationed troops under the Hangu Pass, with the intention of advancing westward and coercing Chang'an! ”

Something that made Dong Zhuo even more frightened happened, Chu Zimou was going to fight Chang'an!

If Dong Zhuo remained calm at this time, he would definitely not think that Chu Tian really wanted to attack Chang'an, but this time Dong Zhuo was in chaos.

His benefactor fought very fiercely, and drove Dong Zhuo from the Tiger Prison to Chang'an, and now he has to fight Chang'an.

If Dong Zhuo escapes again, he can only flee to Liangzhou.

The lords of Liangzhou would not easily accept Dong Zhuo as their real master, and there were also princes such as Ma Teng and Han Sui.

In other words, Dong Zhuo has no way back.

"Send someone to sue for peace, as long as Chu Zimou retreats, what do you want. Money, food, grass or beautiful women, I promised him everything. ”

Dong Zhuo was afraid of being beaten, if he could make Chutian withdraw his troops, he was willing to accept some harsh conditions.

Soon Dong Zhuo learned about the thoughts of Chu Tian and other Kwantung princes - they wanted higher official positions.

The princes of Kwantung were on the throne, but in fact they still fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo.

"He was already a Langya minister and a general of Fubo at a young age, and now he is begging Xuzhou Mu, his appetite is too great, and he has to ask me for dozens of generals and captains. When did generals and lieutenants become so worthless? ”

Dong Zhuo saw Chutian's upper table, a dense list.

If it weren't for Chu Tian alone, it is estimated that even the seven aunts and eight aunts would have to be canonized as captains. In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, even if you could donate money to officials, it would all cost money. Chu Tian didn't pay a penny, and directly asked Dong Zhuo for an official position.

What shocked Dong Zhuo the most was that Chu Tian was cheeky to ask Xuzhou Mu.

Is there such a young Xuzhou pastor in the world?

Moreover, not long ago, Dong Zhuocai canonized Tao Qian as Xuzhou Mu in the name of the Son of Heaven, and now Chutian is also competing for Xuzhou Mu, obviously competing with Tao Qian.

The chief strategist Li Ru said: "Lord, he wants Xuzhou Mu, you might as well give it to him, let him compete with Tao Qian for Xuzhou, then Chu Zimou will have no time to commit the lord." ”

"Tao Qian is weak, how can he be Chu Zimou's opponent? In less than two or three years, Chu Zimou will definitely own Xuzhou. ”

"Then what's the matter, even if you don't canonize him as the pastor of Xuzhou, he can still take down Xuzhou. Whether or not there is a Xuzhou Mu is just the icing on the cake, it doesn't matter to him. There is a plan below, which can make the hearts of the Inhuman princes feel a gap. ”

"What's the plan?"

"The lord only named Chu Zimou as the state pastor, and the rest of the Yiren lords only gave their subordinates some insignificant official positions. In this way, the Inhuman Lord will definitely be suspicious of Chu Zimou, and the Kwantung Coalition Army will be self-defeating. ”

Li Ru's discord plan is very insidious.

After Dong Zhuo heard this, his brows finally stretched: "Canonize Chu Zimou as Xuzhou Mu, General Andong, and Kaiyang County Hou, his requirements are all met, and the rest of the Yiren princes only appoint a few of their subordinates as captains, and their own official positions remain unchanged." ”

Dong Zhuo sent envoys to deal with the rival princes, and when the canonization of the imperial court reached the camp of the Kwantung princes, Chutian realized that something was wrong.

He was put on a stand by Li Ru.

If he accepts Dong Zhuo's canonization and becomes the general of Xuzhou Mu and Anton, then the other princes who are allies will have a gap with him.

Why did Dong Zhuo only appoint Chu Tian as the state pastor, and was indifferent to the other alien princes?

Although some people can see that this is Dong Zhuo's discord plan, they will still be fooled because of the imbalance in their hearts.

Fang Xuanling dissuaded Chu Tian: "The person who came up with this plan is extremely insidious and wants to put the lord in an unrighteous place. If the lord gladly accepts it, I am afraid that his prestige will be affected in the future. ”

"It seems that we underestimated Dong Zhuo, and there are capable people over there in Dong Zhuo."

Chu Tian thought that Dong Zhuo had two military divisions, Li Ru and Jia Xu, and they must have seen through their purpose of coercing Chang'an with the help of the alliance of the Kwantung princes, so they would turn against the first army.

After discussing with Fang Xuanling, Chutian decided to take control of Xuzhou first, and then show the court that Xuzhou Mu would not be able to gossip at that time.

"Please go back and report to Dong Zhuo, if you can't satisfy everyone, I won't lead Xuzhou Mu alone. We're not going to retreat either. ”

Chu Tian rejected Dong Zhuo's appointment in front of many alien princes.

Although Xuzhou Mu and General Anton sounded more imposing, under the premise that there were still many alien princes in the rear, Chu Tian did not dare to lead Xuzhou Mu.

Don't suffer from few, but suffer from inequality.

The envoy sent by Dong Zhuo was embarrassed: "General Fubo, you should know that it is impossible to set up so many state pastoral ......"

All the lords want to lead the state pastor, and in this way, the state pastor of the entire Eastern Han District will be the one of the alien lord.

"Let Dong Zhuo figure it out."

Chu Tian's tone was unceremoniously.

Dong Zhuo wants them to withdraw from the army, so he has to come up with a plan that satisfies everyone.
