Zhang Rang had no opinion on Liu Bei's claim to power in the western part of the country.

He doesn't care, anyway, his interests and Liu Bei's interests have a lot of similarities, there is no conflict, or it is better to say that the greater Liu Bei's power, the better it is for him.

Jian Shuo didn't have any opinions, he couldn't get involved in the division of local political power, and his foundation was too shallow for even the central government to stand firmly.

Dong Chong frowned, feeling that Liu Bei was a little excessive.

Opening your mouth is half of the country, your old man has a little too much appetite, right?

"To the west of Luoyang, half of the country, although you have made great contributions, you don't want to do anything to tear the earth and seal the king, right? Although you are a member of the Han family and have made great contributions, this kind of thing is a bit too much, right? ”

"I'm not interested in ripping the earth and sealing the king, but I've been working hard for several years west of Luoyang, and I've worked hard to manage the income, do you want me to give it to others?"

Liu Bei sneered: "The things here are managed by me little by little, and they are all my hard work, as well as the hard work of my subordinates, and everyone has put a lot of effort into it."

If it is taken away by others and threatened by others, then not only can I not agree, but also the tens of thousands of soldiers under my command cannot agree, and their military expenses and rations also come from this. ”

Listening to Liu Bei's unquestionable tone, Dong Chong was a little weak-hearted.

The group of arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under Liu Bei's command, they have all seen it, each of them is an animal that can eat and fight, and they can achieve absolute superiority over the Xianbei people and Qiang people, and they can do it without moving their mouths.

Talking to them about these things will get a beating, right?

Dong Chong didn't dare to say anything, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart.

"Even if we all agree, the DPRK and China are not entirely up to us, there will definitely be people who oppose it, will you reason with the army and the Manchu officials? In that case, it won't be good for your reputation, so what are you going to do then? ”

"Those who oppose are all enemies, and they are all remnants of the Yuan and He clans, just eradicate them."

Liu Bei said slowly: "As for the others, I naturally have a way to convince them, in this matter, we need to stand together, we can't fight among ourselves, otherwise others will take advantage of the loophole, and everything we finally got will be over." ”

Dong Chong thought about it and felt helpless, so he could only nod in approval.

So west of Luoyang, it has really become Liu Bei's "traditional sphere of influence", and Liu Bei has the final decision on all official appointments and personnel and material transfers, etc., and the other three cannot obstruct it.

If you break your oath and stop it, you will be the enemy.

In addition, in the center, Liu Bei can't do nothing.

In terms of Sangong, because his teacher Lu Zhi is already a lieutenant, he doesn't think about fighting, whether it is Situ or Sikong, he will not reach out, and he will not reach out for the political interests that these two positions carry with him.

Among the three secretaries of Taichang, Weiwei, and Guangluxun to which Taiwei belonged, Weiwei was handed over to Dong Chong for control, and the remaining Shaofu of Taichang, Guangluxun and Dong Chong was under the control of Liu Bei.

Among them, Taichang is mainly responsible for temple sacrifices, culture and education, and has great powers, and is known as the head of Jiuqing, and controls this position as the master of Liu Beizuo's Spring and Autumn Festival, which is more suitable than the other three.

Guangluxun's authority in the Western Han Dynasty is greater, and at the moment, the most important significance is the nominal head of the two armies, the Tiger Army and the Yulin Army, because the Yulin Army and the Tiger Army are under the control of Liu Bei, so it is also very appropriate for this position to be controlled by Liu Bei.

However, on this issue, Dong Zhong did not make concessions, and demanded that the Tiger Ben Army and the Yulin Army be stationed outside the city of Luoyang, and could not interfere with the power of the guards under his control.

The army under Liu Bei's control could not enter the city of Luoyang, which was a request that Dong Chong was unwilling to back down.

In this regard, Liu Bei did not raise any objections, thought for a while, and then accepted.

In addition, Liu Bei also needed some positions in Shangshutai, and he also needed to continue to control the Eight Passes of Luoyang to strengthen the protection of Luoyang and avoid the invasion of the Kwantung forces.

For these, the remaining three do not intend to object.

They don't want to let them out of Ruoyang City, but outside Luoyang City, they can't take care of it for the time being.

And they were also worried about the reaction of the Kanto region to the coup d'état of the Luoyang court, and they were also worried that a large army would come to the "Qing monarch's side" and attack them.

They themselves are not very confident in their military capabilities, and in terms of military capabilities, if they want to say that they are confident, it can only be that Liu Bei has this self-confidence.

Therefore, in general, their core interests need to be guaranteed by Liu Bei's military capabilities, and they must agree to all of Liu Bei's not excessive needs, so as to strengthen cooperation between them and ensure the ultimate possession of the fruits of victory.

So at this "spoils distribution conference", Liu Bei not only obtained the right to dominate the area west of Luoyang, but also gained control of several central armies, and even obtained the right to appoint some official positions in Luoyang.

As for the economic benefits in the future, several people decided to make a distribution.

In addition to the political power seized, in terms of economic interests, Liu Hong's "legacy" can also be called rich, and of course these things cannot be handed over to the young Liu Xie, because Liu Xie "does not have the ability" to control, so it must be "controlled" by loyal people.

As Liu Hong's personal money bag, Xiyuan has an extremely large number of industries, not only a place to sell official beards, but also a place for Liu Hong to take care of the industry, more like Liu Hong's own company than Shaofu.

Including the benefits of salt given to him by Liu Bei, they were all operated within the framework of the West Garden, and the economic benefits could be said to be extremely huge.

So within the framework of the West Garden, Liu Bei and the other four negotiated and prepared to divide the property of the West Garden into four parts, and distribute them according to the level of everyone's meritorious service, and Liu Bei naturally got the largest share.

Fifty percent of the interests of the part of the salt that originally belonged to Liu Hong directly belonged to Liu Bei, and the remaining fifty percent was equally divided by the other three.

The distribution of power and benefits of selling officials is equally divided between the four people, and each person can distribute and buy and sell the official positions under his control, and the income belongs to himself, and no one else can interfere.

All kinds of physical industries inside and outside Luoyang City that are jointly controlled by Liu Hong and the eunuchs, such as all kinds of liquor shops and the like, part of the part belonging to the eunuchs is intact, and the part belonging to Liu Hong is the same as the old rule.

Liu Hong's inheritance was divided among several people, and each took a part as a trophy, as for Liu Xie......

No one paid attention to him.

He was still too young to spend money, and the royal appropriation from the imperial court was enough for him.

When he grows up and needs the money......

Let's talk about it.

There is no doubt that Liu Bei achieved the largest and fattest piece of post-war benefits, but it cannot be said that other people were violated in their interests, basically, others also got what they wanted.

During the whole process, everyone was relatively harmonious, sat down calmly to discuss the problem, and there was no such thing as competing for interests to the point of blushing and turning their faces directly.

Because the external threat and internal deterrence have not disappeared, at least for the time being, neither of them can do without the other, they still have common enemies and common interests, so their cooperation seems to be "unbreakable" at present.

As for when it will go from being unbreakable to being blown......

At least until the threat of Kanto disappears, the likelihood is relatively small.

At present, they are still united, negotiating on various issues that may arise in the future, and basically set a strategy of taking Liu Bei as the main body and discussing together, and it is the same now, after supporting Liu Xie's ascension to the throne.

Liu Xie is not yet eight years old, and he does not have the ability to hold the imperial power at all, so this imperial power is carried out by the four people at present.

Liu Bei, as the strongest one, has the greatest power, and the other three have their own powers.

"Let's share the happiness here, but we also have to be a little scruple about whether those people outside are willing to accept it, this matter is carried out under the leadership of the first emperor in the final analysis, and now that the first emperor has died, if we want to get a position, gain power, and be recognized by the courtiers, I'm afraid it won't be so easy."
