Chapter 251: Distribution of Power
In the face of the sudden change that occurred tonight, Ding Yuan was killed after Dong Zhuo's army attacked the camp, and the handsome tent burned into a fire, and the specific cause was impossible to investigate, coupled with the help of Song Xian and Hou Cheng, even if Gao Shun had some suspicions, but there was no evidence, under the call of the banner of revenge for Ding Yuan, he had no choice but to obey Lu Bu's arrangement.
Lu Bu's plan was planned by Li Su, in order to reflect his wisdom and value, and show Dong Zhuo that I, Li Su, are no worse than Li Ru!
However, after Zhang Liao, who had just been reminded by Zhuang Shaoyou today, it suddenly dawned on him that Lu Bu, a bastard, had killed his father and surrendered to the enemy! Now I am looking for so many high-sounding reasons! It's really better than a beast! If Zhuang Shaoyou hadn't woken up, Zhang Liao would have been like Gao Shun, and he would have been in the dark.
But now understand what? There's no evidence! Ding Yuan must have been burned to ashes now, Dong Zhuo's attack on the camp is conclusive evidence, and Lu Bu is holding high the banner of avenging Ding Yuan, what can he do? Listen to what he has to say!
Lu Bu glanced at everyone, as if he was trying very hard to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said calmly: "Even if the Dong thief is only the vanguard army, there are more than 20,000 people, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is also an elite abnormality, which is not much better than my Jizhou Iron Cavalry!" At the same time, Dong Zhuo and Zhuang Shaoyou are united, and we don't even have the slightest chance!
Therefore, I suggest that for the time being, commit to Dong Thief, gain the trust of Dong Thief, and then provoke the relationship between him and Zhuang Shaoyou, so that the two of them will turn against each other, and the snipe and clam will fight, and we will sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman! At that time, not only can the father-in-law's revenge be avenged, but also the status of the two can be replaced! Big things can be expected! Luoyang City will be included in the hands of my five brothers, wealth and glory, fame and fortune, at your fingertips! ”
Song Xian and Hou Cheng both had bright eyes, and the grand blueprint depicted by Lu Bu was fascinating! Even if he is as calm as Gao Shun, he is slightly discolored, and his previous suspicions are also seven or eight out of ten!
Only Zhang Liao still looked as usual, but the shock in his heart was beyond measure! If it weren't for Zhuang Shaoyou's reminder, Zhang Liao's performance at this time would definitely not be as good as Gao Shun! Because even if he knew that Lu Bu was a villain who killed his father and was unjust, the blueprint he depicted was also fascinated by Zhang Liaoran!
Zhang Liao is also a person who aspires to the world, but after seeing many influential figures in Luoyang, Zhang Liao has given up his plan to go it alone, and now his goal is to take refuge in a Ming lord and assist the Ming lord to dominate the country! Fame and fortune, wealth and glory, sealing his wife's shadow, and fame all over the world, this is all Zhang Liao's life ideals.
If he hadn't seen Zhuang Shaoyou, Zhang Liao would definitely follow Lu Bu with his eyes closed to fight the world, because Lu Bu's plan was very feasible, but now that he has seen Zhuang Shaoyou's demeanor, he will look at Lu Bu, a ruthless and unrighteous villain, and make a judgment. Intrigue may be a temporary success, but it will never lead to eternal glory!
Therefore, although Lu Bu's strategy is good, his character is too poor, and with Zhang Liao's understanding of Lu Bu, such a vicious and ingenious plan is obviously not something that Lu Bu can think of, and there must be a master behind the scenes!
Vertical, insufficient and conspiracy!
This is Zhang Liao's evaluation of Lu Bu!
And Zhuang Shaoyou and other characters are Zhang Liao's ideal lords, young and promising, wise and wise, decisive and resolute, and courteous and virtuous corporal, for Zhang Liao, a little-known little character, he can still be kind and pleasant, without the slightest arrogance, this is the true character of a hero!
However, now it is four to one, and Zhang Liao can only "commit himself to the thief"! Because Zhang Liao believes that once he says a word, Lu Bu, the horseman, may immediately take him down! The best-case scenario is to deprive the military of its rights and throw it out!
At this time, Gao Shun opened his mouth and asked, "Fengxian, although your plan is good, how should we take this step?" Do you want to take the initiative to go to the thief? In that case, not to mention how the people of the world will treat us, how can Dong Thief be credulous? ”
When Lu Bu heard this, he was stunned, glared at Gao Shun, rolled his eyes, and quickly explained: "Actually, the envoy of Dong Thief contacted me last night, and the envoy also had a good understanding of me, but how can I, Lu Fengxian, be a traitor seeking glory?" I refused at the time! Wouldn't that envoy give up, and would come again, and then I could have a good time with the envoy, and then have a boat to push the boat? Hahahaha! ”
When Gao Shun heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, Zhang Liao was also silent, but his face was as usual.
…………
On July 12, the news of Ding Yuan's death came, saying that the camp was on fire, and Lord Assassin Shi was buried in the fire. Immediately afterwards, Lu Bu led a total of more than 5,000 people from the original department of Ding to join Dong Zhuo, and for a while, Luoyang was a sensation, and the two people cooperated after a firefight, which immediately caused heated discussions among the officials of Luoyang City.
But the disappearance of Yuan Shao has not been spread, everyone only knows that after the battle the day and night, Yuan Shao was defeated by Zhuang Shaoguru and escaped without a trace, and the Yuan family remained silent on this matter, obviously, Yuan Shao is still alive.
With the explosion of the bombshell of Lu Bu's Dong throw, the hundred officials in Luoyang also speculated that it would be Zhuang Shaoyou and Dong Zhuo's turn to have a Mars collision with the earth? That's definitely something different! Especially some people with ulterior motives, they are even more diligent in spreading rumors, and their subordinates suggested that Zhuang Shaoyou give those rumors some color to see, but they were stopped by Zhuang Shaoyou, go their own way, and let others say go!
Hundreds of officials began to analyze the comparison of the strength of the two sides, hoping to get a glimpse of the heavenly opportunity, in the hope of making more money in this power redistribution.
Zhuang Shaoyou originally had nearly 10,000 men and horses, and the battle loss the day before yesterday was very slight, and the new He Jin old department Wu Kuang led more than 3,000 iron cavalry to take refuge, and his strength increased greatly, plus he recruited 10,000 new soldiers in the south of the city in the past few days, and his strength is also like the sky!
Of the 10,000 newly recruited soldiers and horses, 2,000 were reserved for Tai Shici's cavalry battalion, 3,000 were used to expand the naval division, and the remaining 4,000 were used to expand the infantry. Southern Liaoning has always not attached importance to infantry, because the strength is limited, a small number of infantry is difficult to play a surprising role in victory, so the construction is much behind the naval division and cavalry, but the battle for hegemony will rise, and the infantry is the fundamental, so we have to seize the time to build infantry.
At present, Zhuang Shaoyou's total strength is 23,000, and its main force is 13,000.
As for Dong Zhuo, when he first entered Beijing, the total strength was 25,000, including 20,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry. Fortunately, with Lu Bu's refuge, the overall strength did not decline, but increased greatly.
At present, Dong Zhuojun has 18,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, and they are all elites who have been in battle for a long time, which can be described as amazing, and they are several points stronger than Zhuang Shaoyou!
However, Zhuang Shaoyou is guarding Luoyang City, occupying a favorable location, and Zhuang Shaoyou's military weapons are famous all over the world, if Dong Zhuo attacks Luoyang, he will definitely not be pleased, but in the field, Dong Zhuo has a better chance of winning!
After analyzing and analyzing, the hundred officials of Luoyang City still can't come to a conclusion, who can achieve the final victory, or suppress the other side to have the advantage.
In the face of Zhuang Shaoyou's large-scale conscription, the court unanimously remained silent, the reason is very simple, can you manage it? Anyway, Zhuang Shaoyou has done some superficial kung fu, in order to help the Han world, and other clichés such as the outside and the inside, and Zhuang Shaoyou's military position is the general of the auxiliary country, the former general He Jin was killed by the ten permanent servants, and the former hussar general Dong Zhong committed suicide by taking poison, and now Zhuang Shaoyou is the first person in the military, and the temporary power of the world's soldiers and horses is also reasonable.
The recruitment work in the south of the city was completed early after only four days, and the reason is simple, the quota is full! Although the people in Luoyang City were very concerned about this matter, thinking that Zhuang Shaoyou urgently needed to expand his strength, in fact, Zhuang Shaoyou had no intention of being an enemy of Dong Zhuo at all, and Dong Zhuo's heart only fluctuated slightly, so he understood Zhuang Shaoyou's behavior, but he didn't understand it right!
In the face of millions of refugees in Luoyang City, Dong Zhuo was also a little moved, wanting to recruit troops to expand his strength, but there were still too few descendant troops, but Li Ru was resolutely opposed, and the reason was very sufficient: the plague has not subsided, and the water and soil are not adapted!
The plague did not recede to explain that the plague of the refugees was worried about reaching the army. Li Ru's statement is that Dong Zhuojun is the Xiliang Army, which is naturally rejected by the original people, if the original refugees are recruited to join the Xiliang Army, it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and these recruits and Xiliang veterans will definitely break out all kinds of contradictions, which is not conducive to internal unity, loyalty is also very problematic, and it has to be trained, which is time-consuming and laborious! So, don't recruit!
As for Dong Zhuo's eager mentality, Li Ru only used four words to make him smile: Call friends!
Of course, with Li Ru's shrewdness, how could he take the initiative to call friends? Of course, the best strategy is to wait for them to take the initiative to come closer! So, before that, there is a very necessary thing to do.
On July 14, His Majesty the Emperor, who had been silent for some days, finally couldn't bear the loneliness and jumped out to make his own voice: a holy decree was issued!
Of course, there is no need to discuss whether this holy decree was written by Liu Wei himself or his own meaning, in He Lian's words, it is a child's fart! When will it be his turn to talk?
The decree is as follows:
In view of the continuous disputes in Luoyang, which hurts the peace of the heavens, it is amnesty to the world! Then, seal the official!
Dong Zhuo, the big Sima, crowned the Taishi, and gave the knight to settle down; From a Liangzhou assassin to the first minister in the world;
Yuan Kui, still serving as the prince, gave the Marquis of Puyang, and crowned the Marquis of Wanhu to show his favor;
Zhuang Shaoyou, young master, promoted to the general, and gave the title of Xiangping;
In addition, there are also a lot of changes in senior officials, mainly after the redistribution of power, the main force of each faction is added to the rank, and there is also the entrapment of those old forces, such as Wang Yun and others.
It is worth mentioning that Dong Zhuo and Zhuang Shaoyou's subordinates also received awards:
Dong Min, the head of Liangzhou Mu, the rank of 2,000 stones, the Marquis of Wuwei; As Dong Zhuo's younger brother, he directly inherited Dong Zhuo's mantle, stayed in Liangzhou's lair, and crowned a high-ranking official, with a clear purpose, so that the warlords of Xiliang were greedy!
Li Ru, a doctor of Guanglu, with a rank of 2,000 stones, was directly promoted from a cloth cloth to a senior official, which can be regarded as an exceptional promotion!
Niu Fu, the right general, with a rank of 2,000 stones, is considered a senior general of the imperial court;
Lu Bu, the general of the Tiger Benlang, has a rank of 2,000 stones, which is also a lot improved;
Li Su, who was promoted to Lantai Order, also has a place in Luoyang.
Zhuang Shaoyou's subordinates also have rewards, but they are much worse than Dong Zhuo:
Le Jin, the position of Jinwu, the rank of 2,000 stones, is responsible for the security of Luoyang, and this position is extremely special, the predecessor is Zhuang Shaoyou himself, which is a very high promotion, and Le Jin has also become the minister of Luoyang with a head and a face.
Tian Feng, Xun You, and Sun Qian also each received a rank of 1,000 stones, and Zhou Tian and Ronghua also had an idle job in Shaofu. Le Jin, Tian Feng, and Xun You were originally Luoyang officials, so they obtained relatively high positions after their official positions were promoted, while Sun Qian, Zhou Tian, and Ronghua were the identities of Buyi, especially Zhou Tian and Ronghua were lowly businessmen, and it was also an unprecedented event to be able to increase their official ranks!
The official position on the holy decree is the result of mutual compromise between Dong Zhuo and He Lian, He Lian wanted to make Dong Zhuo and Zhuang Shaoyou opposed, but Dong Zhuo did not agree, originally planned to be promoted to the position of general by Dong Zhuo, and Zhuang Shaoyou was appointed as the general of the hussars, pressing him, but Dong Zhuo disagreed, and after the last bargaining, it became such a result.
Generally speaking, Dong Zhuo's cronies are all high-powered positions, while Zhuang Shaoyou's subordinates, except for Lejin, are all fictitious positions in name only, and they are judged!
