Chen Qun and Chen Gong glanced at each other, the former opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

If Yuan Shu can detain Qin Yilu to work for him, he will definitely detain him, so he can take the opportunity to get rid of Lu Bu, who is on the verge of danger.

But now, the siege of Xiapi has been lifted, and Lu Bu's future has suddenly brightened, at least brighter than Yuan Shu's. In this situation, Chen Qun didn't want to send Yuan Shu a little. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if he was detained by then.

Lu Bu smiled slightly, and did not pierce Chen Qun's careful thoughts, his gaze turned to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong had no choice but to stand up and arch his hand: "Fengxian, I am willing to go to Shouchun." I have an enmity with Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu will not dare to detain me; And Cao Cao and Yuan Shu are mortal enemies, Yuan Shu will not kill me. ”

"Good! If the public platform goes, I can rest assured. ”

Lu Bu waved his hand and set the tone for this matter.

Then he personally sent Chen Gong out of the city, and Zhang Liao led a thousand cavalry to escort Chen Gong to Shouchun to negotiate with Yuan Shu.

Come to think of it, with Chen Gong's eloquence (Chen Gong is known for his eloquence, Cao Cao was able to become the assassin of Yanzhou back then, and it all depended on Chen Gong to lobby other princes in Yanzhou), he should be able to persuade Yuan Shu to exchange Lujiang for the five counties of Xuzhou.

Seeing Chen Gong's car drive away, Lu Bu called Gao Shun and other generals to give instructions, then stepped on the red rabbit horse, and before Yan reacted, he got out of Xiapi and galloped all the way north.

He did not forget that before evacuating Xuzhou, there was still a very important thing to do.

Recruit Zhao Yun!

……

Changshan County, Zhaojia Village.

Zhao Yun sat bored at the entrance of the village, his fingers unconsciously tapping on the wooden table, his eyes fixed on the end of the dirt road extending out of the village, and his thoughts did not know where he had flown to.

In the open space next to it, a group of young villagers are taking advantage of the idle time in winter to dance guns and sticks and practice martial arts.

They are all villagers in this village and nearby, because they admired Zhao Yun, who was once a righteous servant of the White Horse, so they spontaneously came to follow the latter to practice martial arts, in addition to strengthening their health, in order to protect themselves in this unpeaceful world.

At this time, it was already the tenth day of November in the third year of Jian'an.

Ten days have passed since that "sunrise in the west" event.

For the past ten days, Zhao Yun has been thinking about that strange dream.

Sometimes, I will put myself in Lu Bu's position, thinking that if I am Lu Bu, at the node of the sixth year of Zhongping, outside Luoyang City, in the face of Dong Zhuo's heavy solicitation and red rabbit horse gifts, there is a high probability that I will be moved, right? If Dong Zhuo ordered him to get rid of Ding Yuan in the name of the new emperor Liu Xie, Zhao Yun felt that although he would not get rid of Ding Yuan because of this, it would be difficult to do so.

The change of the throne has been bloody and unreasonable since ancient times.

In that situation at that time, Ding Yuan was bound to die, because no one was willing to help him, and no one was willing to save him.

Because Ding Yuan not only prevented the promotion of the Dong family including Lu Bu and Dong Cheng, but also prevented Dong Zhuo from controlling the government, and even prevented Liu Xie from regaining the throne.

Why is Liu Xie re-ascending to the throne?

Because Liu Xie was the new monarch designated by the first emperor Liu Hong, but because Liu Hong died before he could operate the whole process (Liu Xie succeeded to the throne), the general He Jin rushed into the palace and supported Liu Braids as the emperor, resulting in an established fact.

To put it bluntly, Liu Braid's throne is strictly unlawful.

Although Liu Braid's succession to the throne has become a fact, there were many people who supported Liu Xie in the Manchu Dynasty at that time.

This gave Dong Zhuo the opportunity to "set things right", "abolish the establishment", and "complain about Dong's grievances".

Looking back at the events at that time from the current perspective, although Lu Bu is ashamed of Ding Yuan, he is a great contributor to helping Liu Xie ascend to the throne of God, and Liu Xie is now sitting firmly in Xuchang and is the co-master of the world. In this regard, Lü Bu is indeed a hardcore loyal minister of the Han family, and even when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou some time ago, he deliberately stated that Lü Bu "contributed to the imperial court".

Tracing the source, Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan, in fact, an uncalculable account of the lake.

The reason why Zhao Yun thought this way was because in the month in the dream world, Lu Bu told him about many bloody killings that occurred during the struggle for the throne, which made him deeply touched and began to understand Lu Bu's choice at that time.

In the dream, Lu Bu told him a total of four examples of competing for the throne.

The first: Qin II Hu Hai

In the winter of the 37th year of Qin Shi Huang (210 BC), Qin Shi Huang toured the world and unfortunately died of illness when he reached the sand dunes. Before Qin Shi Huang died, he summoned Fusu to Xianyang to preside over the funeral and inherit the throne. However, the CRRC government ordered Zhao Gao and Prime Minister Li Si and others to conspire with Hu Hai, the youngest son of Qin Shi Huang, to tamper with the edict of the First Emperor and make Hu Hai the crown prince and succeed to the throne.

Fusu was a politically far-sighted figure among the rulers of the Qin Dynasty. He believed that the world was undecided and the people were not at peace, and opposed the implementation of policies such as "burning books and pit Confucianism" and "re-punishing the law and punishing the ministers", so he was demoted by Qin Shi Huang to the Shangjun Supervisor Meng Tianjun. After Qin Shi Huang's death, he was also killed by Hu Hai and Zhao Gao.

The second: Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty

In 581 AD, Yang Jian usurped the throne as the emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty and established the Sui Dynasty (known as Emperor Wen of Sui). Emperor Wen Yang Jian had five sons, all born to Queen Dugu, and after he ascended the throne, he set up his eldest son Yang Yong as the crown prince and his second son Yang Guang as the king of Jin.

After that, Yang Jian abolished Yang Yong as a concubine, and set up Yang Guang, the king of Jin who was good at disguise, as the crown prince. In July 604, Emperor Wen was bedridden, and Yang Guang thought that his time had come to ascend the throne, and he couldn't wait to write to Yang Su to ask for advice on how to deal with Emperor Wen's funeral. Unexpectedly, the messenger mistakenly sent Yang Su's reply to Emperor Wen. Emperor Wen was furious and wanted to depose Yang Guang and re-establish Yang Yong as the crown prince. Yang Guang got a secret report, murdered Emperor Wen, and falsely passed on Emperor Wen's will, asking Yang Yong to commit suicide, but before Yang Yong could answer, the people sent dragged Yang Yong out and killed him. Yang Guang seized the throne by killing his father and brother.

The third: Tang Taizong Li Shimin

After Li Tang replaced Yang Sui, Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor (for Tang Gaozu). Li Yuan has a total of four sons, the second son Li Shimin in order to compete for the status of his brother Li Jiancheng as the prince, killed his brother and killed his brother, forced his father Li Yuan to abdicate, imprisoned in the deep palace, and later killed his brother and younger brother's whole family, and took his brother-in-law as a concubine.

The bloody means of the Xuanwu Gate change moved those who heard it. This method will naturally remind people that Li Shimin is a tyrant and a faint king.

But the fact is the opposite, it is precisely because of the "Xuanwumen Change" that there is the "Zhenguan Rule" behind, and Li Shimin has become a generation of Ming Jun.

These three examples made Zhao Yun think about it for a long time, and he was very confused, and he couldn't tell right from wrong.

But these three eucalyptus examples are not worth mentioning in the face of the fourth eucalyptus.

In Lü Bu's narration, Liu Cheng, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, was even more bloody.

Liu Cheng, formerly known as Liu Hongxi, was the fourth son of Liu Yan, the ancestor of the Southern Han Dynasty, and the younger brother of Liu Jue, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty. In the tradition of the hereditary system of the eldest son, Liu Chengzi was not entitled to the throne, but Liu Chen not only ascended the throne in the end, but also served as the emperor for fifteen years.

In the fifteenth year of Dayou, the founding emperor Liu Yan died, and Liu Yan's third son, Liu Ying, the king of Qin, ascended the throne. After Liu Jue ascended the throne, he changed the Yuan Guangtian and was assisted by Liu Cheng, the king of Jin. Starting from the auxiliary government, the curtain of Liu Cheng's murder of his brothers was opened.

During Liu Jue's reign, he was extravagant, Liu Cheng saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart. In order to make Liu Cheng fall into the sound of dogs and horses and can't extricate himself, Liu Cheng constantly offers beautiful women.

Although Liu Ying is absurd, it does not mean that he has no heart to prevent it, after feeling the threat from his own brother, especially the fourth brother Liu Cheng. So he made the palace airtight, and everyone had to search their bodies when they came in and out.

In this case, Liu Cheng formed an alliance with his fifth brother Hong Chang and tenth brother Hong Gao against his third brother Liu Jue. Liu Chengmi ordered his henchman Chen Daozhen to raise a group of Mengmen such as Liu Sichao and practice wrestling every day. When the time is ripe, Liu Cheng brought these mengmen into the palace and performed a wrestling performance for Liu Jue. Liu Jue didn't know about this matter, and he was drunk. At this time, Chen Daozhen, Liu Sichao and others rushed up and dragged them to the gate of the palace to kill them.

After killing Liu Jue, Liu Cheng ascended to the throne of God, and his accomplice with his fifth brother Hong Chang and tenth brother Hong Gao were respectively named generalissimo and deputy marshal of soldiers and horses. With the increase of power, Liu Cheng's suspicion became more and more serious. And in order to consolidate his position, Liu Cheng waved the butcher's knife that killed his brother again and again.

Liu Cheng has a total of 18 brothers. Among them, the eldest brother Yongwang Liu Yaoshu and the second brother Kangwang Liu Guitu died early due to illness, and the ninth brother Wanwang Liu Hongcao died in the war with the Wu clan in Jiaozhou. From the first year of Yingqian in the Southern Han Dynasty to the thirteenth year of Qianhe in the Southern Han Dynasty, Liu Cheng killed all the remaining 15 brothers who were alive.

Throughout the ages, there has never been an emperor like Liu Cheng, who is so cruel to his siblings.

……

These are the four examples that Lu Bu told Zhao Yun in the dream, each of which shows the impermanence and bloodiness of the change of the throne, and at the same time explains from the side that Lu Bu killed Ding Yuan's helplessness, which has nothing to do with emotion, only a political position.

Of course, Zhao Yun only knew one of these four eucalyptus cases, that is, the murder of his brother by Hu Hai of Qin II, and the Southern Han Dynasty, Sui and Tang dynasties in the other three eucalyptus cases, which he had never heard of.

Based on this, although this dream was extremely clear, Zhao Yun was skeptical of this dream.

But I can't stand this dream too clearly, every word Lu Bu said to him echoed in his mind all the time, and finally condensed it into one sentence:

"Lu Bu is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty......"

"Lu Bu is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty......"

"Lu Bu is a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty......"

This made Zhao Yun overturn the old perception of Lu Bu in his heart, and re-erected Lu Bu with the image of "Weiguang Zhengzhong".

Even, after the "Sunrise West" incident, he still had a hint of wanting to take refuge in Lu Bu.

This made Zhao Yun a little confused.

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a dense "da-da-da" sound of horses' hooves, galloping from far and near, from outside the village.

Soon, a burly general, riding a fiery red rabbit horse, came into view so abruptly.

The voice and smile of the comer are the same as the person in the dream.

Zhao Yunteng stood up suddenly.
