Chapter 626, Lu Bu's determination

The Jinyang Imperial Court was established, and Lu Bu's life was not very easy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It's okay to say that there is a shortage of funds and population, but there are too many people in the court who are dissatisfied with his arbitrary power, and they are always dragging their feet intentionally or unintentionally, which involves a large part of the pressure on Chen Gong and makes him unable to focus on his own development.

But then again, these people are really the people of Longwangshu, who didn't dare to let go of the fart that was brutally suppressed by the Xiliang army in Chang'an, but when they came to Lu Bu, they repeatedly wanted to grab more power in this useless court. Everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, and they all know that if Lu Bu, a prince who respects the imperial court, is destroyed, they are likely to return to the precarious days again, but those who can control the desires in their hearts are only a few after all, and there are only a few people such as Yang Biao.

Lu Bu was very impatient with this situation, and had long wanted to kill like the Xiliang Army to achieve the purpose of deterrence, but Chen Gong persuaded him. Because the Jinyang court was established not long ago, Lu Bu had not yet had time to establish prestige, if it was rumored that he and the Xiliang army were on the same hill, then the Jinyang court would once again lose the recognition of the princes from all walks of life that it had not been easy to get, not only in fact, but also nominally it might lose the righteousness of the princes, and Yuan Shu would have more excuses to split the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Of course, Chen Gong also understood the current situation of the Dahan River, and he also knew that he didn't have the ability to save it, so he only asked to assist Lu Bu to divide one side. But Lu Bu's strength is weak after all, if he loses his reputation again and attracts a strong enemy like Yuan Shao, it will be self-defeating.

In addition, because of the shortage of funds and population, the supply of logistics is very insufficient. Without logistical support, Lu Bu was tied up when he started the battle, and he could not destroy the enemy in one go. Moreover, the situation in the state is complicated, there is a white wave army in the south of the West River, and the north is the royal court of the Xiongnu Nandan Yu, so that the Xiongnu Zhonglang will be in short supply for a long time, resulting in some loss of control in the Southern Xiongnu, and the infighting continues, the predecessor Shan Yu was killed, and Yu Fuluo also took his own people into exile in the Central Plains.

Beyond the Great Wall, there is the world of Xianbei people, and they also enter the customs from time to time to plunder. That is, now the Xianbei split is still in internal fighting, otherwise Lu Bu would not be able to stop the Xianbei people who are heading south on a large scale. Because of the shortage of war preparation materials, when Xianbei attacked on a small scale, he could only give up his advantage of commanding troops and stick to the city.

In short, although Lu Bu returned to his hometown, regained his independence, and made great progress compared to before, he was still struggling. And his hometown of Jiuyuan has always been under the iron cavalry of the Xianbei people.

……

Lu Bu returned to Jinyang, Liu Feng's recital was just an excuse, in fact, the front-line war could no longer be fought, and Lu Bu came back to discuss countermeasures with Chen Gong.

Liu Feng's recital was to reset the new county, which made the court debate. Some people feel that they have lost control of the place, since Liu Feng asked for the county, he agreed, this is a respect for the imperial court, and you have not seen Liu Biao and Sun Jian split the land and set up the county, nor have you said hello to the imperial court.

However, some people believe that the imperial court does not have much power in the first place, and if it agrees to Liu Feng's request without thinking about it, it will not further boost the arrogance of powerful princes in various places, so it should be refused to curb the spread of his ambitions.

Each has its own reason, and when several bigwigs do not speak, they argue endlessly in the court. The little emperor is still the same as before, showing up and leaving, too young to have any ideas of his own.

It was under this circumstance that Lu Bu returned to Jinyang.

In fact, Chen Gong's strength lies in the military, not politics, and he should be used as a military advisor to accompany the army. But Lu Bu's background is shallow after all, and there are no capable political talents around him, so Chen Gong can only be temporarily responsible.

That is, now Lu Bu's opponent is the Bai Bo Army, as a branch of the Yellow Turban Army, there are no powerful people who have survived until now, if Sun Jian or Yuan Shao are replaced as opponents, without Chen Gong on the side, Lu Bu will be killed in minutes.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong exchanged their respective situations and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"For a long time, compared to the rest of the princes, Liu Ziyuan has a lot of respect for the imperial court, and we can't influence Jiangdong in the short term. Lu Bu was indignant, "I still want to continue to hold this power, I really don't know if it's naïve or stupid." ”

"Now it's like this in the imperial court, everything has to be contested, and the formulation of any policy will be delayed here." Chen Gong said, "So it's not surprising that someone stopped Liu Yangzhou's invitation." ”

"Gongda, is our previous plan wrong? Those people, all of whom don't remember the beating, can't help but jump after just a few good days. Lu Bu said gloomily, "I'm not like Dong Thief, I have overwhelming strength in my hands, and I'm not afraid of anyone, so I appeased them, but now it seems that I was wrong." Having them will only drag us back. ”

"Lord, you understand, you don't have such a high prestige, and you don't have such a strong strength, in case you ......" Chen Gong was still a little hesitant.

"Even if the world comes to attack, let it go." When it came to the war, Lu Bu was immediately full of pride, "No matter how difficult it is, it's better than fleeing everywhere and sending people under the fence." Just do it, I'll take it. ”

"Okay, since the lord intends to do a big job, his subordinates will follow him to the death." Chen Gong was also aroused.

"Gongtai, send a message to Taifu, Sangong, Jiuqing and other elders, which means that after the day is dispersed, General Ben will have a banquet at home." Lu Bu instructed, "As for Liu Ziyuan's request, let's temporarily agree to set up a Jian'an County to cater to the Son of Heaven." ”

……

The dispute in the Jinyang Palace was silent after Lu Bu's arrival, and it successfully passed Liu Feng's request to set the county's recital, although it was only one.

can gain a foothold in the court, no one is a fool, Chen Gong is a scribe, he can rely on the old and sell the old, he can argue with him, and he can show his face, but Lu Bu, in the eyes of these people, is still the butcher under Dong Zhuo, especially when he still controls all the armies, no one dares to reason with him, not to mention that he still has the merit of Yingli.

Even if Lu Bu showed great respect for the imperial court and gave a hundred officials a lot of freedom, no one, including Yang Biao and the other three dukes, dared to disobey Lu Bu's wishes.

"All the princes are predecessors, they are all pillars of the court, the court has the current situation, and the princes have made great contributions." Tonight's Lu Bu Mansion was very lively, Liu Yu, Yang Biao and others gathered together, "But the princes should also know that this situation is not easy to come by, when the Son of Heaven returned to the east, no princes were willing to welcome the Son of Heaven, so that Luan Jia had to stay in Anyi for several months." It was me Lu someone, who risked being attacked and welcomed the Son of Heaven to Jinyang. ”

"The princes should understand that Bingzhou has always been a barren land with a lack of population, and although it now occupies three counties, including Hedong, it now lacks everything. Abroad, the White Polish army was repeatedly unable to be destroyed, the situation in the southern Xiongnu was chaotic, and Xianbei invaded frequently. There is also Yuan Benchu who occupies Jizhou in the east, and after he captures Qingzhou, he will definitely take the state in the west, and our situation is not very good. ”

"Therefore, today's imperial court cannot afford to fight infighting, and this general needs to concentrate all his forces to unify the states as soon as possible and increase his strength to ensure that he can compete with other powerful princes. All the princes are people who understand, and Lu begged the princes to restrain the hundred officials and not to have anything that is not conducive to the overall situation. Otherwise, even if Lu didn't want to see the bloody rafting, he had to do it. ”

"Princes, Lu doesn't have much time, and after three days, the court will be restructured."

At the dinner, facing Yang Biao and Liu Yu, Lu Bu said.
