Because of Lu Zhi, Lu Bu was named a general.

The general adheres to the national politics inside, and the outside is a special expedition, and his power is far beyond the right of the prime minister.

Although Lü Bu had never really enjoyed such power, Lü Bu did not believe that he was not entitled to such power.

Lu Bu stubbornly believed that if it weren't for Wang Yun's division of power and the dissatisfaction of the ministers, he would definitely be able to uphold the national government and Le Shi Yanran like Dou Xian.

Therefore.

After escaping Chang'an City, Lu Bu never forgot his ambition to return to Chang'an and take power again.

Without Wang Yun this time, if there is no merit in addition to Li Dao and Guo Yan, who would dare to say half a word in front of Lu Bu?

Knowing that Ma Riyan was holding the festival to appease the Kanto herdsman, Lu Bu had an idea.

Lu Bu wants to lead the soldiers of the Kanto region in the name of the general!

In the past, the tiger and wolf people around Dong Zhuo now want to beg the thief for the king, which is like a joke in Ma Riyan's eyes.

"Wenhou, Zang Yanzhou may not listen to your orders." Ma Riyan held back for a long time and persuaded kindly.

Although he got rid of Li Dao Guo Yan, Ma Riyan didn't have to worry about Li Dao Guo Yan killing him in vain, but Ma Riyan didn't trust Lu Bu.

The capricious, forgetful martial artist, who even kills his father-in-law, if he holds power, he will be a more murderous minister than Li Dao Guo Yan.

Moreover, Ma Riyan is now the Taifu and Lu Shangshu.

If King Lu Buqin succeeds, Lu Bu will have the final say in all matters of the court, and Ma Riyan can't stand letting a martial artist Lu Bu override him.

Lu Bu snorted coldly, seeing through Ma Riyan's thoughts, and his tone naturally had three points of murderous intent: "Benhou is a general, and you have a scepter given by the Son of Heaven." If Zang Hong doesn't listen to the order, he will be killed! ”

Ma Riyan was taken aback.

This Lu Bu is so angry, he will kill him if he doesn't listen to the order, so can they still go out of Yanzhou?

Ma Riyan was a little flustered: "Wen Hou can't!" Zang Hong has been running Yanzhou for a long time, and Zhang Miao and others have helped. If we kill Zang Hong, we won't be able to leave Yanzhou. ”

Zang Hong, does that mean you can kill if you kill?

Lu Bu's face changed, and there was a smile in his tone: "It's just joking." How could Ben Hou kill meritorious men in vain? Ma Taifu, don't think about it, Benhou will escort you to Yanzhou to see Zang Hong. ”

Ma Riyan was helpless.

When Lu Bu said this, he had made up his mind to go to Yanzhou.

Hanoi County is adjacent to Tranliu County, but within a few days, Lü Bu "escorted" Ma Riyan to Chenliu City.

Compared with Ma Riyan to pacify the Kanto region for Li Dao and Guo Yan, Zhang Miao was more interested in Lu Bu's proposal.

"The general has the heart of the king of diligence, which is the blessing of the Son of Heaven."

"If necessary, Chen Liu's soldiers can listen to the general's orders."

"Envoy Zang is in Yanzhou, and he will not forget that the Son of Heaven is in prison day and night, and he has long intended to raise troops."

For King Qin's thief, Zhang Miao was quite interested.

Now that Yuan Shao has supported Liu Ge and will not raise troops to the west, Cao Cao and Tao Qian have a grudge against killing their fathers and can't take care of Chang'an for the time being, Qingzhou is located in a remote area, and Dong Zhuo is dead again, which is a good time for King Qin of Yanzhou.

Lu Bu was overjoyed: "Zhang Taishou is in the Son of Heaven, and after killing Li Dao and Guo Yan for betraying the party, Benhou recommended Zhang Taishou to the Son of Heaven to enter the dynasty and leave the office. ”

"Ben Hou killed Dong thief in the past, and saved the Son of Heaven from the group of thieves, and he had the grace to save the life of the Son of Heaven, and Zhang Taishou could rest assured."

"As long as Zhang Taishou will not use troops indiscriminately like Wang Yun in the past, it is okay to let Zhang Taishou serve as Situ and record Shangshu."

Ma Riyan's face was a little unsightly.

Zhang Miao is still a scholar, so what is he Ma Riyan?

But Lu Bu ignored Ma Riyan's thoughts at all, and only promised Zhang Miao, and told Zhang Miao the reason why Li Dao and Guo Yan captured Chang'an.

Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao were shocked when they heard it.

"Using the new general to resist Li Dao Guo Yan, Wang Yun really disregarded the survival of the country for the sake of power struggle." Zhang Chao said disdainfully.

Even if Wang Yun doesn't want to use Lu Bu, he can let Huangfu Song resist Li Dao Guo Yan.

will not let Li Dao and Guo Yan kill Xu Rongzhuang's prestige.

You must know that in the battle between Li and Guo Yan, although Jia Xu made a plan, it was actually very dangerous.

Killing Dong Zhuo, Chang'an City not only has enough food and grass, but also has good morale.

On the other hand, the generals of Xiliang each hugged their heads and ran around, and Li Dao and Guo Yan only had thousands of soldiers and horses to attack Xinfeng.

If there was no big victory in killing Xu Rong, the rest of the Xiliang generals Fan Chou, Li Meng, and Wang Fang would not dare to join forces with Li Dao and Guo Yan.

Because of this big victory, Jia Xu judged that the ministers of Chang'an City were in internal strife, and also greatly increased the morale of the generals in Xiliang.

This is such an incredible record as breaking Chang'an in eight days!

Lu Bu said angrily: "Wang Yunpifu, bad Benhou is a big deal. ”

"Li Dao Guo Yan is not worried, as long as Yanzhou agrees to raise troops, and Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang helps, we will definitely be able to enter Chang'an again, and obey the orders of the Son of Heaven."

Lu Bu was familiar with Dong Zhuo's side, and he probably knew what it meant to be the son of heaven to order not to be subordinate.

Zhang Miao was quite surprised that a martial artist like Lu Bu could understand the truth of "serving the Son of Heaven to order not to obey", and couldn't help but re-examine Lu Bu.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Miao said: "The matter of King Qin is very important, and we must be cautious. Chen Gong, a famous man in Dongjun, is known for his wisdom, why didn't the general summon him? ”

Zhang Miao is also not a long-term resident.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both made their careers one after another.

Zhang Miao was unable to serve as the pastor of Yanzhou because he was a native of Chen Liu, so he recommended Zang Hong to be the assassin of Yanzhou.

However, seeing that Cao Cao was a native of Yuzhou and became a pastor of Yuzhou, Zhang Miao's heart became more and more unbalanced.

knew that people from the same state could be state pastors, why did Zhang Miao recommend Zang Hong?

The past cannot be changed.

Although Zhang Miao's heart is unbalanced, he is always thinking about how to go further.

And now, Lu Bu is here!

You can't be a state pastor, you can be a third prince in the court!

If you can be ranked as Situ and Lu Shangshu, Chen Liuzhang is also the family of the Three Princes.

The most important thing is that Zhang Miao can be above Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Zhang Miao knew that his wisdom was insufficient, so he recommended his friend Chen Gong to Lu Bu.

With the help of Chen Gong, Zhang Miao had the confidence to defeat Li Dao and Guo Yan and enter Chang'an.

Lu Bu also knows the importance of resourceful people.

If there were wise and resourceful people who made plans in Chang'an, they would not have been overtaken by Wang Yun and took away the power of being a general!

A dignified general can only mobilize 2,000 troops from his lineage and state, isn't this an insult to Lu Bu's intelligence?

Thinking of this, Lu Bu also showed a thirsty side: "If you can get the help of the Magi, it is the luck of this marquis!" ”

Chen Gong was invited.

As soon as he heard that Zhang Miao was going to respond to Lu Bu's call to raise troops to serve the king, Chen Gong understood Zhang Miao's intentions.

In this Yanzhou, Zhang Miao can only be a Chen Liutai guard and cannot go further.

But if he goes to Chang'an, Zhang Miao will have a chance to be ranked as Situ!

The same is true for Chen Gong.

As a native of Yanzhou, it is difficult for Chen Gong to get a high position in Yanzhou.

But if you go to Chang'an, Chen Gong can also be ranked Jiuqing.

"Wen Hou wants King Qin, can there be someone in the court who should be the internal response?" Chen Gong asked the key question.

Without internal response, it is difficult to succeed in Qinwang.

Lu Bu was embarrassed: "Although Benhou is a general, many ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government are dissatisfied with me, so they can't find an internal response." ”

Thinking of this, Lu Bu had an idea and pointed to Taifu Ma Riyan: "Taifu Ma has a lot of old friends in the court, and he must be able to find a lot of internal responses." ”

Ma Riyan suddenly felt a headache, and said tentatively: "Everyone, the old man was ordered to appease the Kanto herdsmen with festivals, and he may not be able to participate in this matter. ”

Suddenly, several pairs of eyes were staring at Ma Riyan.

Taifu Ma Riyan, is unwilling to participate?

Chen Gong sneered: "Ma Taifu, Yuzhou Mu Cao Cao and Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, have a grudge against killing their fathers. Because of the intervention of Qingzhou Mu, Cao Cao reluctantly agreed to enter Xuzhou after the autumn harvest. ”

"What's the use of you going to appease?"

"Or is it that you have been favored by Li Dao Guo Yan to be this Taifu and record Shang Shushi, so you don't want Li Dao Guo Yan to be killed by us?"

"Since you are a traitor, it is reasonable for us to kill you and sacrifice the flag."

Ma Riyan was shocked: "The old man is the prince of the dynasty, and he was ordered by the emperor of heaven to pacify the Kanto region, you dare to kill me?" ”

Chen Gong held down the hilt of the sword: "Are you following the order of the Emperor of Heaven or the order of Li Dao Guo Yan, do you really not know when I wait?" ”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ma Riyan could only give in and said: "Everyone, it was just an old man's joke just now!" Huang Wan, the former lieutenant of Sili, Yang Qi in the service, Ding Chong, Ding Chong, Zhong Xuan, Shangshu Zuo Cheng Lu Chong, Shang Shulang Han Bin, military officer Yang Bo, Zuo Zhonglang General Liu Fan, Zhishu Shiyu Shi Liu Dan, Taiwei Huangfu Song and others can all be internal responses. ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed: "There are so many internal responses in the court, isn't it easy to kill Li Dao and Guo Yan?" ”

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong glanced at each other, and their eyes became solemn.

After settling Lu Bu and Ma Riyan in the post house, Chen Gong privately found Zhang Miao and said: "Meng Zhuo, the situation in Chang'an is complicated, even if Li Dao and Guo Yan are killed, they may repeat the mistakes of the past, and calculate like Lu Bu. ”

"At both ends of this group of ministers, snakes and rats, King Qin refused to give power when he punished the thief, and after the thief succeeded, he ran out to divide power."

"Are you really planning to send troops to Chang'an?"

Zhang Miao pondered for a long time and said, "Gongtai, I am nearly forty years old, and I am still just a Chen Liutaishou. ”

"The world is chaotic, although I have great ambitions, but I don't have a place to display my talents."

"If you don't want to do nothing, you can only go to Chang'an to gamble on a rich future."

"Cheng, then ranked as the third prince, Kuang Fu Tianzi set the world; If you lose, you will hate the battlefield, and I, Zhang Miao, will be like this! ”

"If Gongtai doesn't want to, you can return to Dongjun, I won't blame you!"

Chen Gong said slightly angrily: "Who does Meng Zhuo think I am Chen Gongtai?" Is it a rotten Confucian who will only stay in a comfortable place? ”

"Meng Zhuo has the ambition of being diligent and ambitious, how can I, Chen Gongtai, be afraid?"

"I am willing to go to Chang'an with Meng Zhuo, in this chaotic world, there will definitely be a place for you and me!"

End of August.

Lu Bujie joined Zhang Yang, Zhang Miao, Zang Hong and others to raise troops to Qin Wang, and used Ma Riyan's identity to surprise attack the Tiger Pass, wave the army into Luoyang, and then point to Tongguan.

Li Dao Guo Yan was furious and sent the whole Ma Riyan clan to prison, and Li Dao sent Guo Yan, Fan Chou, and his nephews Li Li and Lu Bu to fight in Tongguan.

Fan Chou was killed, Li Li was captured, and Guo Yan fled back to Chang'an City.

The situation in Guanzhong has changed dramatically.

And to the north.

The three counties Wuhuan responded to Yuan Shao's call and chose to go south to Youzhou before the autumn harvest on the grounds that "Gongsun Zhan humiliated Liu Yu" and plundered in Youzhou.

Gongsun Zhan was furious, and personally led the elite cavalry to fight with the Wuhuan of the three counties in Beiping.

Before Gongsun Chan defeated the three counties of Wuhuan, Ma Teng Han Sui also suddenly sent troops to Daijun and threatened to "kill the traitor Gongsun Zhan" on the orders of the Emperor of Chang'an.

Gongsun Zhan suddenly fell into a situation where he was attacked by the enemy on his back and sent an envoy to invite Yuan Shao to raise troops into Youzhou to resist Ma Teng.

Yuan Shao personally led Yan Liangwen, Choufeng, Ji Guotu and other civil and military forces, and raised troops into Zhuo County.

South.

Cao Cao also took advantage of the approaching autumn harvest to launch a surprise attack on Tao Qian.

The sudden surprise attack stunned Cao Hong of Pengcheng.

Cao Hong never thought that Cao Cao would choose to attack Xuzhou when the autumn harvest was approaching.

This is Cao Cao's treachery.

The autumn harvest is approaching, and Cao Cao doesn't even need to think too much about military rations.

When there is no food, directly harvest rice and use it to feed the war, so that the military power will become more rapid!

Cao Bing grabbed grain, and the people of Xuzhou naturally refused.

Cao Cao was quite annoyed by the rebellion of the county and township, so Cao Cao sent the vanguard Cao Ren to march into Lü County and defeated Xiapi Xiangrong.

Zhenrong was defeated and fled, and the rest surrendered.

However, Cao Ren was ordered by Cao Cao's army to "not be pardoned for those who surround and surrender", and in order to achieve Cao Cao's goal of deterring the counties, he led the army to slaughter the city, and at the same time plundered the army for three days.

In Lu County, there are all chickens and dogs, and there are no pedestrians in the township.

Cao Hong of Pengcheng heard that Lu County was slaughtered, and saw Cao Cao personally come to Pengcheng to surrender, so he was so frightened that he ran back to Fuyang to see Tao Qian.

Knowing that Cao Hong abandoned the city and fled, Tao Qian was furious and wanted to behead Cao Hong.

Cao Hong cried: "Envoy! There was a military order in Cao Cao's army that "those who surround and surrender will not be pardoned", and Lu County was slaughtered by Cao Cao after fleeing because of the defeat of Zhenrong. ”

"In the whole Lu County, there are all chickens and dogs!"

"Envoy, the last general knew that he couldn't hold Pengcheng, and he didn't want the people of Pengcheng to be slaughtered by Cao Cao, so he abandoned the city and fled."

Cao Hong's reason doesn't seem to be a problem at first glance.

For the sake of personal honor and disgrace to save the people of a city, Cao Hong seems to have meritorious.

But in Tao Qian's ears, it was shocking and inexplicable.

Even Cao Hong abandoned the city and fled, who would dare not surrender to the defenders of the rest of the city?

"Damn Cao thief!" Tao Qian was so angry that his chest was tight.

I thought that by deploying defenses around Pengcheng, Luxian, Fuyang and Wuyuan, I would be able to resist Cao Cao.

Then when Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses attacked Yuzhou, they could repel Cao Cao.

As a result, in just a few days, Lu County and Pengcheng were easily broken by Cao Cao!

Yuan Shu may not have gotten the news of Cao Cao's march!

What Tao Qian didn't know was that at this time, Yuan Shu had already sent the general Ji Ling to the north and was attacking the Xiapi Kingdom, so he didn't pay attention to the agreement with Tao Qian at all.

Attacking Yuzhou, Yuan Shu may not be able to defeat Yuzhou.

can attack Xuzhou, but Yuan Shu has the opportunity to seize Xiapi State and Guangling County.

The pros and cons of this are weighed up, and Yuan Shu sees it very clearly.

When Tao Qian was annoyed, a small soldier arrived: "Report!" General Zang Ba of Wuyuan sent someone to deliver the letter. ”

As soon as he heard that it was Zang Ba's letter, Tao Qian hurriedly spread it out.

Seeing the content of the letter, Tao Qian was overjoyed: "Sure enough, at this critical moment, it is still Xuande who can be relied on!" ”

"Don't worry, generals, Liu Xuande has already hidden troops in Taishan County."

"Three days later, we will march with General Zang Ba in two ways to recapture Pengcheng."

"Liu Xuande will wait for the opportunity to seize Xiaopei and cut off the way back for the thief."

"Win Cao Cao, all the generals will be promoted to the third level, and the old man will personally ask the Son of Heaven to make the marquis for the generals!"
