Niu Fu listened to Liu Jian's guidance today, as if he had found a window of light in the darkness.

His gloomy life has a direction to move forward, and he himself has the motivation to charge.

Of course, Liu Jian can't be for Niu Fu's good in vain, and he also has his own plans for guiding Niu Fu like this.

Dong Zhuo's use of troops in Xiliang to open up the Western Regions was crucial to the future development of the Han Dynasty.

But the reason why Liu Jian instigated Niu Fu and Lu Bu to do this task was because after a big battle in Sizhou, Niu Fu and Lu Bu's vitality was greatly damaged, and their prestige in the army was greatly reduced, and they needed to go to Liangzhou to recover their vitality, increase their power, and save their reputation.

Only in this way can they become an important part of the many forces under Dong Zhuo's command in the future.

There are too many generals under Dong Zhuo, and Li Dao and Guo Yan of the Xiliang Army can't be allowed to take power alone after Dong Zhuo's death, and someone must be able to fight with them.

Therefore, now let Niu Fu and Lu Bu go to the west to open the way for Dong Zhuo, so that they can recuperate and become a force in the imperial court in the future.

As for Ma Teng and Han Sui...... Liu Jian didn't know much about the two of them, but he also knew in history that every action of these two people was in line with the changes in the imperial court.

Anyway, in Liu Jian's heart, these two people are not pure thieves, the two of them should be speculators to be more accurate.

The rebels of Xiliang have now formed a certain threat to the imperial court, and Ma Teng and Han Sui have taken Yan Zhong, a famous man from Liangzhou, hostage as the commander, to win the hearts of the people of Liangzhou, what is their purpose? Is it to establish a country to confront the Han Dynasty? Of course it's impossible.

The two of them wouldn't be crazy enough to do that.

Fools understand that these two people are now trying to wait for the price to sell, waiting for the court to bid for them.

According to Liu Jian's understanding of Yang Biao, Wang Yun, and Chun Yujia, who are old guys in the current literature department, the rebels in Liangzhou are likely to be targeted by them.

What these old guys are best at is exchanging political resources for military support and benefit sharing.

Even if it is a rebel, they are very willing to use it, in their minds, it is a big deal to wait for Dong Zhuo to be destroyed before suppressing it!

Wang Yun in history has made a lot of mistakes in this regard.

Therefore, Ma Teng and Han Sui's behavior is still relatively critical during this time period.

During this period, Liu Jian felt that the two of them belonged to an independent group that swayed left and right, and it was possible that they were biased towards courtiers and Dong Zhuo.

Of course, for Liu Jian, it is not good for them to be too biased towards one side or the other.

Therefore, Liu Jian wanted to use Niu Fu to remind Dong Zhuo that he should give a little benefit to this rebel army in Liangzhou, so that they could try to remain neutral and not be used too much by the courtiers.

As long as the government is currently in a period of balance, it is the best for Liu Jian, and he doesn't want too much chaos in the Chang'an court now.

Subsequently, Liu Jian sent people to send Niu Fu and Wei Xu back to freshen up, ordered the sergeants to prepare meals, arrange for them to eat a full meal, and then let them go to Dong Zhuo's camp.

Just when the two of them walked to the mouth of the handsome tent, Liu Jian suddenly called out to Wei Xu: "Wei Sima, Liu Mou has just forgotten a major event to tell you!" Please stay as well. ”

Niu Fu had already been led out of the tent, and Wei Xu continued to stay in his camp because of Liu Jian's words.

"What else does General Liu have to tell Wei?"

Liu Jian smiled and said to Wei Xu: "Actually, it's really not a big deal, but there are a few things I want to give to Wei Sima." ”

"We didn't know each other much before, but now that we know each other, Liu wants to make friends with Wei Sima."

"In the future, Du Wei Lu will ask Wei Sima to help a lot."

Wei Xu was a little wary when he heard this.

What do you mean that Lu Bu wants to bother me to help me a lot? Is this intended to make me a traitor?

Seeing that Wei Xu had a vigilant look on his face, Liu Jian laughed: "I know that Wei Sima is a relative of Lu Duwei, and he is one with Lu Duwei, no matter how arrogant Liu is, he doesn't dare to let Wei Sima be my internal response and plot to kill Lu Duwei?" ”

"What does the general mean?"

Liu Jian comforted: "Actually, when I traveled all over the world and merged with the state, I met Lu Duwei, Wei Sima must know this, right?" ”

Wei Xu nodded.

"Captain Lu also told me about this in the past."

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Actually, I have been friends with Fengxian for a long time, and for Fengxian, I never wanted to be an enemy of him, but by coincidence, I had to fight with him repeatedly, which was not my intention." ”

"The words I said to General Niu seem to be for General Niu's sake on the surface, but in fact, they are for Feng Xian's consideration."

"Liu has always hoped to be reconciled with Feng Xian, for Feng Xian, I have always had a friendly feeling in my heart, after all, in my heart, Feng Xian is the world's number one flying general! Feng Xian is the talent of my Han Dynasty, and Liu, as a clan relative, has always had the idea of saving talents for the Han Dynasty. ”

Wei Xu saw the sincerity of what Liu Jian said, and he also believed it a little in his heart.

He arched his hand at Liu Jian and said: "Feng Xian and the general are both born in border counties, in this world of great contention, we should work together and work together!" ”

Liu Jian smiled: "This is true! ”

After saying that, I saw Liu Jian clapping his hands.

Then, I saw several guards carrying several large boxes.

Liu Jian ordered someone to open the box, but saw that there were rare things such as gold silk, jade, bronze, and pearls.

Don't look at Wei Xu's stay in Beijing for a few years, but after all, he is just a bun under Lu Bu who has never seen the world, and when he saw so many rare things, Wei Xu was stunned for a moment.

"General Liu? What ...... are you? ”

"It's all a gift to Wei Sima, I hope that Wei Sima will be able to contact the two of us in front of Fengxian in the future, these gifts today are a little careful, of course, Wei Sima can't bring them back, these gifts are back and stored here in Liu, after Sima returns to Chang'an, Liu Jian will naturally send someone to the house, and he will never break his promise."

As Lu Bu's brother-in-law, although Wei Xu was also respected by his Xiliang soldiers on weekdays, it was the first time that he was given such a generous gift.

The value of the gift is secondary, the key is that he has found a feeling of being valued that is rare.

"General, is this true?"

Liu Jian smiled heartily: "What Sima said, is Liu a debtor?" Besides, my Hebei province is rich in land and resources, can I still account for these things? ”

After that, Liu Jian stretched out his hand and took Wei Xu's hand, and said: "In Liu Jian's eyes, what gold and silver goods are not as good as talents can make people tempting, Lu Duwei is a hero in the world, and Wei Jun is a master in a state!" ”

What do you say...... It's so comforting!

"Alas, I have heard for a long time that General Liu is a benevolent and righteous person, love is thirsty, today I know that the reputation is worthwhile, how can Wei Xu be virtuous, how can he make the general value so much, the general can rest assured, as long as it is related to the matter of my family captain and the general, but if it does not violate morality, Wei Xu will definitely be able to do the work of dogs and horses."

"That's the best!"

……

……

After Dong Zhuo received Niu Fu and Wei Xu, he immediately withdrew his troops, and he slowly headed towards the west, no longer encircling Luoyang.

It seems that Dong Zhuo is indeed abiding by the negotiation with Liu Jian.

After Dong Zhuo withdrew his troops, Liu Jian confirmed that the other party had no wrong moves in the next step, and only then did he lead people into Luoyang City.

Here, he met his teacher Lu Zhi again.

However, what Liu Jian didn't expect was that after seeing Lu Zhi, his teacher actually did something big enough to alarm Shilin.

He actually gave up his hand and pleaded guilty to Liu Jian.

Liu Jian was taken aback when he saw Lu Zhi making such a move.

The gift of the teacher, he will never be able to bear it.

Liu Jian hurriedly dodged, let Lu Zhi give way, and then shook the front swing of his armor and knelt down on one knee.

"Teacher, why is that? Isn't there any sin on the student that annoys the teacher? ”

Lu Zhi slowly straightened up, his face showing a rare feeling of guilt.

"I'm a bad old man, I'm causing you trouble."

"Teacher, what are you talking about?"

Lu Zhi waved his hand and said, "Don't you admit it, this time, first Lu Bu Niufu, and then Dong Zhuo, all because of the old man, you were embarrassed several times in Sizhou, and in order to protect the old man, he even traveled hundreds of miles, galloping day and night, although he succeeded...... But in the past few days, the old man is thinking, if you don't succeed? And how? Is the old man sorry for you? Is it ashamed of your filial piety? ”

Liu Jian stood up and said with a smile: "Teacher, it's serious, these are what students should do." ”

Lu Zhi shook his head: "I'm old, but I'm not confused, and I also have self-knowledge, this world is no longer the world that the old man understands, and the ones that the old man believes in are no longer enough to stand in the world." ”

"If the old man continues to be stubborn, it will only bring disaster to the people around him and you......"

"At the beginning, when Your Majesty appointed the old man as the old man, you strongly advised the old man not to come, but now, looking back, the old man insisted on going his own way, and what a disaster he caused you!"

Liu Jian said with a smile: "Teacher's words are serious, what calamity is not a calamity, aren't the students all calm?" ”

Lu Zhi smiled bitterly: "You can calm down once, twice, three times and five times, but you can't do it ten times or twenty times without omission, even if you are an immortal, you can't do it." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi beckoned at him and said, "You come." ”

Liu Jian followed Lu Zhi to the table in the main hall of the Taishou Mansion, Lu Zhi picked up a piece of the table on the table, handed it to him, and said, "Look." ”

Liu Jian opened the recital, looked at it roughly, and asked, "The teacher wants to ask His Majesty for resignation?" Returning to the hometown? ”

Lu Zhi sighed: "It's time to go back to Fanyang, in fact, if you think about it carefully, it is still the most obedient old man's intention during the days when he was teaching and educating people in Gushi Mountain, and he doesn't want to continue to work hard in this situation, so it's better to return to the township, open a private school, continue to teach and lecture, and cultivate a few more talents for you, wouldn't it be better than making trouble for you here?" ”
