Back then, when dealing with the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, Lu Zhi and Liu Bei put forward the idea of Dutian, and Liu Bei said at that time that Dutian was okay, but many prerequisites were needed.

In all fairness, Lu Zhi didn't take Liu Bei's words seriously, but thought in his heart that this was a battle that required him to pay for his life, and even if he failed in the end, he would not waste his whole heart.

He plans to use his life to do a vigorous thing, to make himself famous in history, to make himself an existence that can be admired by future generations, and to let future generations recognize that he is worthy of a talent like Liu Bei to grow up as his disciple.

But I didn't think about whether this thing would succeed or not.

This is Lu Zhi's greatest selfishness.

It doesn't matter whether you succeed or not, your reputation has been praised through the ages, it's enough.

In essence, he is for himself, not for the country.

But he never expected that Liu Bei really took this matter to heart, and did it step by step.

first controlled Liangzhou, then influenced Yizhou, then Sanfu, then the land of three rivers, and finally became a general, who controlled all the power west of Luoyang in a bright and bright manner, and then used the protégés he cultivated from Liangzhou Prefecture and the former officials brought out in Liangzhou as a spark and scattered it.

He completely controlled Liangzhou, controlled the land of Sanfu and the land of Sanhe, eliminated the modern literary school, struck at the core enemy that was most hostile to him, and wiped them all out, so that the "land of Longxing" of the Han Empire was all his people.

Then it was the military means to solve Youzhou, which laid down the supreme prestige, and then on this basis, promoted the slave restriction order and the merger of the state war, while solving the affairs of the annexation of the state, while promoting the slave restriction order to weaken a wave of potential enemies in the future.

Step by step, every step is to prepare for the future of a comprehensive field.

To this day, Lu Zhi also generally knows that nearly half of the main administrators in the world are Liu Bei's people or Liu Bei's subordinates, and have direct and indirect relations with him, and his political power alone has included more than one-third of the scale of all officials in the Han Empire.

And with his prestige and real power, he can really urge these people to do things for him and run for him, and he can really get the support of these people and further promote his own power.

If this is an individual, it can only be described as a monstrous power, this power is something that many emperors can't really have, with Liu Bei's status today, if he wants to become an emperor, Lu Zhi feels that as long as three months, he can succeed.

And it doesn't have to pay a lot of money.

But he didn't, he didn't seem to use the monstrous power he had gained for his own luxury, but as the basis for the future development of the field.

Little by little, he extended his power tentacles to the localities, to influence and control the localities, to destroy the enemy through righteous and bright reasons, and then arrange for his own people to go to the local area to control important power.

Through this means, he succeeded in seizing a lot of local power, reversing the extremely unfavorable situation of the Luoyang court in the power struggle.

At present, at the military level, Liu Bei has given the Luoyang court an absolute advantage.

At the economic level, the court also achieved self-sufficiency through a series of military and political actions, and a new economic system was initially established.

At the political level, Liu Bei personally controlled most of the central power and almost half of the local power, and won many local comrades-in-arms for the Luoyang court.

Next, he also had to promote the establishment of new departments and the establishment of county soldiers, so as to compete for influence on local judicial power and public security power, and further weaken the advantage of local separatist forces over the Yuyang court.

Give him enough time, and the advantage of the local government over the central government will become smaller and smaller, and finally it will become an outright disadvantage, and the advantage of the central side will become greater and greater, and finally it will reach the point of crushing.

In that case, Liu Bei used 300,000 troops and a large number of his own people as the confidence to promote the real Dutian, which would no longer be a delusion, but a serious change.

Even if there are internal differences, even if there are many people who oppose it, the people who support him are enough to help him complete this Bodu field, and get rid of those insects who occupy too much land, and fiercely alleviate the sharp social contradictions within the Han Empire.

The Han Empire will succeed in renewing its life.

And Liu Bei's exploits will be comparable to Emperor Guangwu's Zhongxing, and can even be considered the second Zhongxing of the Han Dynasty.

In Lu Zhi's view, this is already higher than his own pattern to the sky, and his teacher is not half a star worse than Liu Bei in terms of political pattern.

To use an inappropriate analogy, he thinks that when Liu Bei is thinking about the stars and everything in the world, he, the teacher, is thinking about how to drown in the small pond in front of his house and then frighten his family.

How big is the difference between people?

Facing this disciple who was wholeheartedly thinking about the future, Lu Zhi was very relieved, very relieved, and felt that he really had a sense of accomplishment, and he single-handedly brought out such an excellent disciple.

But he also felt guilty, so guilty, that he felt that a teacher full of selfish thoughts was not worthy of being his teacher at all!

"Xuande, I'...... I really don't deserve to be your teacher in this matter. ”

Liu Bei shook his head dryly.

"Teacher, don't say that, without you, there would be no me."

Lu Zhi sighed.

"Xuande, in the matter of Dutian, I was just thinking about how to die vigorously, but you really want to make Dutian successful, compared to you, what am I worth? I barely did any preparatory work for Dutian......"

Lu Zhi lowered his head and removed the teacher's shelf in front of Liu Bei, making Liu Bei feel that he was not facing the majestic teacher, but a tired old man.

"Emperor Guangwu's Dutian has not been completely successful, if according to my thoughts, my decree will not even be implemented by any place, but Ling, but he really wants to do something, Xuande, the Han has you, fortunately."

"Teacher, without you, the disciple would not have embarked on this path."

Liu Bei smiled and said: "Maybe the disciple will also want to join those insects and enjoy it, after I die, I will care about the flood?" It is because of your concern for the country and the people that the disciples gradually wake up and gradually realize how the person who holds the supreme power should behave in order to be worthy of his heart. ”

"Alas......"

Lu Zhi only smiled bitterly, and he didn't know what to say.

But he knows that in the next thing, he must unconditionally support his disciple, the disciple has already come to this point, if he is not strong as a teacher, he is really not worthy of being Liu Xuande's teacher.
