The family is hateful though.

But if you want to run normally in this world, it is indeed not possible without the family.

Liu Hong himself knows this very well.

If not, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation as he is now.

What Liu Hong wants is a prosperous world, not a chaotic and dilapidated world.

Although he believed in Qin Yu's ability.

But he was more convinced.

If Qin Yu is directly transferred back to him from Lingling County in a short period of time.

Qin Yu and the family, the contradiction between him and the family must have become irreconcilable immediately, and then completely broke out.

Until now.

Liu Hong is still very satisfied with his ability to maintain the family.

At least you look.

When I was emperor, those families didn't give me much trouble.

On the contrary, I have been suppressing those scholars.

That doesn't tell me what I'm capable of?

Zhao Zhong naturally didn't know what was going on in the heart of this emperor, who didn't seem to have such a deep mind on the surface.

He didn't know that what Liu Hong had just told him was just an expectation hidden in his heart.

For Liu Hong.

Qin Yu's development in Lingling County was indeed his move.

He gave Qin Yu enough rights.

I just wanted to see if Qin Yu, a saint, could develop a path that would allow him to completely get rid of the family.

Now it seems that things are going well.

But it's only been two years.

Dealing with the family is definitely not something that can be completed in a short time.

Liu Hong is very clear about this.

He was already determined to spend his life fighting the family.

He's only thirty-three this year, and life is still long for him!

He still had enough time to wait for Qin Yu's good news.

The fast is seven or eight years, and the slow is ten or twenty years.

He's waiting!

"By the way, what's going on with the West Park Army lately?"

Liu Hong took back his thoughts from the previous thing about missing Qin Yu.

Zhao Zhong also hurriedly shifted his attention back and responded: "Your Majesty Hongfu, the Xiyuan Army has achieved initial results, but the number of soldiers has not yet reached the goal set by Your Majesty. ”

Liu Hong nodded, he was not surprised by this kind of thing.

He had already anticipated this when the West Garden Army itself was created.

Moreover, when the Xiyuan Army was created, Liu Hong did not think about moving the Northern Army and the Southern Army at all.

The practice of tearing down the east wall and making up the west wall is not interesting.

What he wanted was an army that had been cultivated and built entirely by himself.

The existence of this army will be a hole card in his hand in the future.

And this hole card will also be handed over to Qin Yu for safekeeping at the right time.

At that time, if Qin Yu was going to face the forces of those families, he suddenly took out this hole card and stood behind Qin Yu.

Will it surprise those families?

Will it surprise Qin Yu?

What kind of color will his approach leave in the history books of later generations?

The thought of these different reactions made Liu Hong feel indescribably comfortable.

That's why.

Most of the eight lieutenants in the West Garden he used were people who had nothing to do with Qin Yu and had no conflict of interest.

Like Yuan Shao, the Yuan family still has too much influence among the scholars.

Give him a place, which can be regarded as appeasement.

Similarly, if Yuan Shao was allowed to follow Qin Yu, maybe Qin Yu would be able to use his strong charm to influence Yuan Shao as a whole.

When the time comes, after Yuan Shao is completely attached to Qin Yu's men, then I'm afraid that I won't be able to solve the future Yuan clan?

Wouldn't that just become your own person?

Another example is Cao Cao.

In Liu Hong's opinion.

Cao Cao had known Qin Yu from the beginning, and Cao Cao had watched him step by step from hostility with Qin Yu to Qin Yu's licking dog.

Cao Cao's transformation is a good confirmation that Qin Yu's charm and strength are really too strong.

This can only be said that he Liu Hong knows human nature, and he is too accurate to know people!

Cao Cao, his own person, will definitely give him a position as a lieutenant.

As for Jian Shuo, this in itself is a small yellow door that replaces his past, and his strength should not be underestimated.

It is a very competent assistant.

With him, at least in terms of force, he can be equal to Na He Jin.

It's kind of a town man.

He's just accumulating hole cards for future showdowns with those families.

Then again.

He Jin's current power is indeed a little too great.

The big one made Liu Hong feel a little uncomfortable.

Originally, the power of He Jin was also Liu Hong's own idea.

He wanted to use people like He Jin to balance the power of those families.

But I didn't expect that.

At the beginning, He Jin was indeed walking according to his strategic concept.

Available over time.

He Jin's status attracted more and more scholars to take refuge.

In addition, he himself controlled the distribution channels of the divine water sent by Qin Yu.

This also made those families show an extraordinary attitude towards him.

Originally, I thought that even if what He Jin represented was not his own power, it should be a force belonging to the imperial family.

The results now look.

He Jin, this guy now has a faint feeling that he wants to become the leader of the family.

This kind of thing is unacceptable to Liu Hong from the bottom.

That's why he wants to set up the Xiyuan Army, dilute the military power, and then slowly take it back from He Jin's hands.

Wait until when your eldest brother realizes his mistake.

Give him a little more power to the army.

After all, a family, a family.

Liu Hong pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Since the number of soldiers is not enough, then let them go to various places to recruit troops, recruit the strong, and be sure to improve the strength of the Xiyuan Army." ”

Zhao Zhong immediately responded.

Then the order was passed on.

Cao Cao, Bao Hong and others were ordered to go to various places to recruit troops.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another three months have passed.

By this time it was already February 189.

This winter is not easy for Liu Hong.

This time, the wind chill he contracted was particularly severe.

There was no sign of healing for a whole winter.

But it's not all without good news.

After all, the rebellion in Liangzhou made Liu Hong wait for the dawn.

Ten days ago.

The Liangzhou rebels besieged Chencang County for more than 80 days, and chose to retreat from fatigue.

Huangfu Song immediately made a decision and ordered the pursuit.

Dong Zhuo is also a general of a hundred battles, and natural music can see how the opponent's army is strong.

plus Li Ru's advice by his side.

He immediately went to dissuade Huangfu Song and said: "General Huangfu, the last general thinks that at this time, the thief army retreated, just in response to the sentence that the poor should not be chased, and the people should not be forced, and at this time the order to pursue is probably not a good idea." ”

Huangfu Song didn't doubt it when he heard this, but he just thought it was Dong Zhuo's advice that he should have had.

He shook his head and said, "I already know Zhong Ying's worries, but at this time, those thieves are not able to respond to this sentence. ”

"It has been besieging Chencang for a long time, and it has come from afar, it is a tired army, and it has not achieved an inch, and the morale of the army is weak."

"At this time, they are not poor people, they belong to the people, but just a group of rabble people who have no courage and no will to fight, I will lead the army to attack them, and they will win a big victory!"

Subsequently, Huangfu Song was afraid of missing this military plane, so he ordered Dong Zhuo, who seemed to be still in doubt.

He led his army in a quick pursuit.

Looking at Huangfu Song, who had already led the army to chase after him, Dong Zhuo hated it in his heart.

In fact, he had already thought of two paths.

If Huangfu Song listened to his persuasion, it would naturally be the best.

As long as he uses a little trick, he will take care of the rebels who can be provoked and invade after more than a month.

If Huangfu Song did not listen to his advice and insisted on pursuing.

Then he naturally had to volunteer.

How could he not want such a straightforward credit?

With this merit, as long as he operates well, he may not be able to take the position of Huangfu Song and stay in Liangzhou to lead the army to the border in preparation for the enemy's attack.

In this way, it is also completely achieved its original purpose.

But that Huangfu Song didn't even give him a chance.

Not only did he not listen to his advice, but he also forcibly took away all the opportunities for meritorious service from his side.

How does this make Dong Zhuo not angry, how not to be annoyed?

Wait until the news that the Liangzhou rebels were defeated by Huangfu Song and returned back.

Liu Hong naturally felt very comfortable.

Remembering that Dong Zhuo was his own family, and he was also a capable family member, he directly issued an edict to worship Dong Zhuo as the pastor of the state.

After ordering him to transfer the army in his hand to Huangfu Song, Keri set off.

Chencang City.

After Dong Zhuo received this edict, his brows furrowed for a while.

"Wen You, now that the edict has arrived, what do you think should be done?"

Li Ru had already made a decision in his heart, and after Dong Zhuo asked at this time, he asked with a smile: "It's not difficult at this time, but I don't know what the lord thinks of this state pastor in his heart?" ”

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and said: "This is naturally a state pastor, and the status of a state pastor can be described as respectable. ”

For the appointment of the State Pastor and the rights that the State Pastor has.

Everyone in the world can see it very clearly.

What's more, Dong Zhuo has people like Li Ru who will analyze the facts for him completely.

He had long since known what the state pastor actually meant.

If you ask Dong Zhuo if he is willing, Dong Zhuo is naturally very willing.

It's just that now he wants to go to Bingzhou to take up the post of governor and governor, but he doesn't let these soldiers with his subordinates leave, but he is a little unhappy in his heart.

You know, that place is not a good place.

Now although the Xiongnu have not rebelled, in fact, these guys have long been unable to be suppressed by the imperial court.

Some time ago, Zhang Yi, the assassin of Bingzhou, was just killed.

The imperial court was also unable to restrain its jurisdiction, which for a time fueled the ambitions of these Southern Xiongnu who had once belonged to the Han Dynasty.

Now let Dong Zhuo be the pastor of this state, the meaning is very clear.

Liu Hong just wants to use a strong man like Dong Zhuo to deter and manage the Xiongnu in the state.

It's a pity.

Liu Hong saw the wrong person.

Where is Dong Zhuo such a responsible and capable loyal minister?

If it were to follow the normal historical development, it would be impossible for Dong Zhuo to go to the post and merge with the state.

There must be Li Ru behind him to give him advice, and in the end, he can stay all the way around Luoyang, but he has achieved his pinnacle.

However, now there is an extra Qin Yu in this world.

Li Ru's thoughts are also quite different from what he used to be.

After knowing Dong Zhuo's intentions, Li Ru became a bamboo.

Compared with his previous thoughts, Dong Zhuo's current decision is obviously more difficult to implement.

He immediately said: "Since the lord thinks that the state pastor is a beautiful difference, then it is okay to go directly to the post." ”

Dong Zhuo was surprised and said: "Do you want to go directly to the state pastor?" If I leave like this, I will be far away from this Gyeonggi important land, and if I want to help my husband in the future, I am afraid it will be very difficult, right? ”

Li Ru said: "The lord doesn't know, if you have 20,000 troops in your hands, it is naturally good, but if you use 20,000 troops to support Mr., there are naturally two problems." ”

"One of them is that we have heavy troops in our hands, and we are eyeing this Gyeonggi stronghold, and if we say it more seriously, it is regarded as complicity and rebellion."

"Even if we take a few steps back, we will inevitably fail to stand up to the righteousness in the end."

"The second is that if you use 20,000 troops to help Mr., the final result may be just icing on the cake, and Mr. has strong soldiers and horses, how can we lack 20,000 soldiers and horses?"

"It's better for us to go to the state first, take down the state pastor, and then deter those southern Huns, and then use the soldiers and horses of the Huns, as a help to Mr. to complete the immortal work."

After Li Ru finished speaking, Dong Zhuo fell silent.

In the face of Dong Zhuo's silence, Li Ru's eyes also narrowed slightly.

He suddenly felt that he might have done something wrong.

Just when this thought came to Li Ru's heart.

Dong Zhuo already asked with little concern: "Wen You, according to what you said, I'm afraid the world is going to change, right?" Isn't this time of change in the near future? I've heard that Your Majesty has been sick with the dragon body recently, and it seems that something is not good? ”

He rubbed the jade wrench on his fingers.

Li Ru sighed in his heart.

Speaking of which, he did have such plans and ideas.

He wished he could wait for such an opportunity one day.

Then do your best to assist Dong Zhuo and get on the real center stage of the Han Dynasty.

But now, he no longer has the original thoughts, but Dong Zhuo has such a thought in his heart.

It can only be said.

He still underestimated the desire for power in people's hearts.

Change the sky!

And it is a change in the court of the Han Dynasty.

With 20,000 troops in hand, it is possible to leverage the transformation of the whole world.

After Dong Zhuo noticed a hint of this kind of thing, he naturally couldn't help but throb in his heart.

To say that he could be an emperor, he could not.

But he didn't have any hope of becoming a powerful man who controlled everything!

Just like today's Zhang Rang and He Jin.

If Dong Zhuo can be allowed to sit in that position, he can be regarded as not wasting this life.

Li Ru sighed slightly in his heart, and then said with a smile: "The lord is too worried, what I am talking about is the change in the world that is the rebellion of the rebels from all over the world stirred up by the family, at most, it is equivalent to the resurgence of the Yellow Turban Rebellion." ”

"It's just that now the imperial court has been quelling rebellions for so many years, and every year of disaster is consumed, and the national strength seems to be no longer what it used to be."

"As long as there is another Yellow Turban Rebellion of that scale, I am afraid that it will be the time for those powerful families to rise together."

"When that time comes, it's time for the gentleman to intervene."

"Besides, now that Your Majesty is only a year old, and there is a steady supply of divine water from Mr., how can there be such a change?"

Dong Zhuo had a faint suspicion in his eyes, and after glancing at Li Ru, the doubt was gone.

He laughed and said, "In this way, it really makes me worry too much." ”

"Then the next thing will be handed over to you Wenyou to deal with, these Liangzhou tigers under my command can be brought to Bingzhou, that is the best thing."

Li Ru answered, and then got up and retired.

As for Dong Zhuo.

He looked at the back of Li Ru leaving, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "This matter is indeed too much for me to think about, Your Majesty is just occasionally caught in the cold, and it is indeed impossible to have that kind of drastic change......

After appeasing Dong Zhuo, Li Ruxiu wrote a letter and handed it to Huangfu Song.

bluntly said that Dong Zhuo had accepted the appointment of the governor of Bingzhou, but at this time he had been in charge of the army for ten years, and he had a good relationship with his subordinates, these soldiers had to give him their lives, and most of them were Qiang people who followed him all the way from Liangzhou, if they rashly wanted to follow Huangfu Song, I am afraid they would be dissatisfied.

Since no matter where he stays, he has contributed to the death of the great man.

Then why can't he take these sons and daughters to the state to suppress those rebels who are not satisfied?

Huangfu Song looked at the letter sent by Li Ru's order, and frowned for a while.

"Father, this Dong Zhuo sent this letter, it is clear that he no longer regards his father and the court, I think this person has already rebelled, it is better to take this opportunity to kill him directly!"

Huangfu Song's son, Huangfu Li said in a deep voice.

Huangfu Song pondered for a long time, looking towards Huangfu Li with a solid gaze.

Huangfu Lidang felt as if all the thoughts in his heart had been completely seen through by his father.

He bowed his head, not daring to say anything more.

"You still have that kind of idea that you shouldn't have?"

Huangfu Song asked lightly.

His calm voice made Huangfu Li only feel like thunder, and his heart was beating non-stop.

What he said was not intended to target Dong Zhuo at all.

Dong Zhuo is just a native chicken and a dog in his eyes, and if his father wants to, he can be killed with a wave of his hand.

His real purpose was to be tempted.

Tested whether his father had the idea of self-reliance.

In the end, does their Huangfu family still have the possibility of becoming the supreme in this world!

"Don't mention such stupid things in the future, so you can step down."

Huangfu Song waved his hand, and he suddenly felt very tired.

I worked hard all my life, but I didn't expect to end up with such an image in the eyes of others.

Could it be that he Huangfu Song is really a disloyal and unrighteous person?

If it weren't for the question that Huangfu Li asked at this time, it shouldn't have been said by him at all.

Huangfu Song will definitely not let Dong Zhuo go.

Since Dong Zhuo already has a heart of disobedience to the court at this time.

Naturally, he wanted to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

But now if he does it to Dong Zhuo again.

It will inevitably give Huangfu Li an illusion.

If that happens.

Their Huangfu family is likely to completely break off the inheritance because of this.

Why bother?
