Changan.

Lu Bu beheaded Li Dao with a halberd, announcing the end of the rebellion of the generals of Xiliang.

"Wen Hou is brave, no one in the world can match." Chen Gong stood on the right side of Lu Bu and praised it from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's halberd on his shoulders and laughed heartily: "If it weren't for the public platform's scheme, how could Ben Hou be able to enter this Chang'an City." ”

"After seeing the Son of Heaven, Ben Hou will be in front of the Son of Heaven and perform the merits of the public platform."

Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong were like bamboos all the way, destroying Fan Chou, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Li Dao, and the rest of the people either surrendered or fled.

The realm of Guanzhong is completely controlled by Lu Bu and Zhang Miao.

Basilica.

Ma Riyan had already invited Liu Xiehe and the ministers to welcome Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong.

Seeing Lu Bu carrying Li Dao's head to arrive, Liu Xie's worry suddenly decreased a lot.

When Dong Zhuo was there, although Liu Xie called Dong Zhuo Shang's father, and Dong Zhuo often insulted the concubines in the palace, those concubines had nothing to do with Liu Xie, and Liu Xie barely looked like a son of heaven.

When Li Dao was there, he didn't pretend directly.

If it weren't for Jia Xu to stop him, Liu Xie's Queen Fu and Liu Wei's widow Tang Ji would have almost been humiliated by Li Wei.

Now seeing that Li Dao is dead, Liu Xie is completely comfortable.

"The general is brave, I didn't see the wrong person." Liu Xie's impression of Lu Bu is quite good.

In the battle of Zhudong, it was Lu Bu who escaped from the pursuit of the generals of Xiliang with Liu Xie on his back.

Although Li Dao Guo besieged the city with 100,000 Xiliang soldiers, and Lu Bu ran away, it was not Lu Bu's fault, the military power was vacated by Wang Yun, and Lu Bu was powerless.

Thinking of the previous lesson, worried that Lu Bu would be stripped of his military power again, Liu Xie rewarded him: "General, you have repeatedly saved me, which shows your loyalty." ”

"I named you the general of Jianwei today, holding the festival, and controlling the soldiers and horses of the world."

The general is the highest military rank, and the title is a special honor given by the emperor to the general.

Lu Bu was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

For Lu Bu, the addition of Jianwei in front of the general makes Lu Bu very useful.

Although the power of the Great General and the Great General Jianwei are similar, this sounds different.

Especially with a good face like Lu Bu, General Jianwei is much more domineering than the general.

And "holding the festival and controlling the world's soldiers and horses" is Liu Xie's great trust in Lu Bu, how can Lu Bu not be moved?

Lu Bu is not Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and he will not think of replacing Liu Xie, a "general of Jianwei, holding the festival, and controlling the world's soldiers and horses" is enough for Lu Bu to be effective against Liu Xie.

Of course, the premise of this death force is that Lu Bu will not be defeated.

As long as Lu Bu is not defeated, Liu Xie will be safe and sound.

But if Lu Bu is defeated, abandoning Liu Xie will also be a matter of an instant.

Lu Bu got the benefits, and naturally he didn't forget Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister is only familiar with military affairs, and he doesn't know anything about governing the country. ”

"Chen Liutai guards Zhang Miao, Dongjun Jun Cheng Chen Palace, they are all rare heroes in the world, this time the minister can enter the customs to save His Majesty, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong are indispensable."

"The minister thinks that Zhang Miao can be given the title of Situ, the record of Shangshu, and Chen Gong as the Shangshu order, to assist Zhang Miao in taking charge of political affairs, commanding hundreds of officials, and restoring the livelihood of the people in Guanzhong."

"When Guanzhong is stable, Your Majesty can personally lead the ministers, go out of the tiger prison in the east, and wipe out the rebellious ministers and thieves."

"After the unification of the world, with the merits of His Majesty, he will definitely be able to leave a name in history and become the master of Zhongxing."

Lu Bu's words were calculated with Zhang Miao and Chen Gong in advance, and when he said it at this time, Liu Xie was very useful.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong both believed that if they wanted to gain a foothold in Chang'an and not be rejected by the slanderous rumors of Chang'an's ministers, they must let Liu Xie have the pleasure of being in power.

If he is like Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, he only cares about holding the Son of Heaven hostage and issuing the emperor's decree without authorization, which will make Liu Xie disgusted and angry, and he will eventually follow in the footsteps of Dong Zhuo and Li Dao.

Therefore, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong asked Lu Bu to make some subtle changes in his speech.

For example, Lu Bu took the initiative to only manage the military and not politics; Lu Bu got Liu Xiedong out of the tiger prison, and changed it to Liu Xiedong leading Lu Budong out of the tiger prison; The work of Liu Xie can leave a name in history and become the master of Zhongxing.

It is impossible for Liu Xie to really recruit in person, but as soon as he says this, Liu Xie will have a strong sense of participation and a sense of pleasure in power.

This kind of respect made Liu Xie sigh in his heart: "Wen Hou has such great achievements, but he is not as dictatorial as Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, but he conceives for me, and he is really the first loyal minister of my Han Dynasty." ”

The ministers and officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee also looked at Lu Bu in shock, as if they knew Lu Bu for the first time.

Is this going to be returned to Liu Xie?

Really?

For Liu Xie, Lu Bu, Zhang Miao, and Chen Gong are loyal ministers of King Qin.

But for the ministers and officials of the DPRK and China, most people think in their hearts, "There is another Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, just a raccoon dog." ”

As a result, Lu Bu showed a different side.

was given the title of "General Jianwei, holding the festival, and controlling the world's soldiers and horses", and even offered to ignore political affairs!

"This Lu Bu, how can he have such a scheming?"

"Isn't he afraid that Wang Situ's incident will happen again, and he will be overthrown by Zhang Miao Chen Gong again?"

"This Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo, and Li Dao are all the same dog, and they must have said this on purpose today."

"Hmph, there is no courtier in this world who is not greedy for power."

"Let's wait and see, there will definitely be chaos in this level, and when the time comes, I will kill Lu Bu, and I will definitely be able to accept the weight of the Son of Heaven."

"A mere martial artist, also worthy of being a general? We are generations of princes. ”

“.”

The ministers and officials have different thoughts, and they have hatred and hostility towards Lu Buduo.

The ministers who have experienced the dictatorship of Dong Zhuo and Li Dao and survived are all treacherous, although they despise Lu Bu in their hearts, they will not come forward at this time.

Liu Xie was infatuated with the pleasure of being in power at this time, so he proposed: "Since I ascended the throne as emperor in the first year of Chuping, I have always been held hostage by Dong Thief and Xiliang Yu, and I can't make decisions about everything. ”

"Even when Wang Yun, who prides himself on being a loyal minister, was Situ, he didn't let me govern on the grounds that I was young."

"Now it is the first month of the fifth year of Chuping, Li Dao has been extinguished, I am determined to be pro-government, and change the year name to the first year of Xingping, which means to rejuvenate the world and peace."

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"

Liu Xie wanted to be pro-government and wanted to change the name of the era, and Lu Bu was the first to speak out in support: "The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." ”

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, how can it be ruled by the courtiers?"

"Minister, General Jianwei Lu Bu, obey Your Majesty's orders."

"From today onwards, the year name is the first year of Xingping, and it is also the year of His Majesty's pro-government."

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong also seconded the proposal.

Boy!

The ministers of the main hall, civil and military, were all confused by the methods of Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong.

Change the name of the year, the Son of Heaven is pro-government?

Is this really Lu Bu?

But Lu Bu and the newly appointed Situ monk Shangshu Ling all seconded it, and the rest of the ministers did not second, so didn't they deliberately find trouble for Liu Xie?

In desperation, Zhu Wenwu could only second.

But when they looked at Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong one by one, they were more jealous.

Compared with Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, Lu Bu's trio is more clever!

This is similar to the gameplay of the Ten Permanent Servants!

As long as they listen to the emperor, no one can shake the status of Lu Bu's trio.

The pilgrimage ends.

Liu Xie excitedly left Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong to inquire about the future of the imperial court.

Although Liu Xie claims to be pro-Zheng, he is also self-aware.

This is a major national event, and Liu Xie can't handle it.

Lu Bu didn't speak, but took a step forward and stood beside Liu Xie, like a guard.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong glanced at each other, and Zhang Miao replied to Liu Xie's inquiry: "Your Majesty, Fang is down today, and the two emperors are on the same day." ”

"Although Liu Ye of Zhuocheng is a puppet emperor, he has the support of Yuan Shao and the jade seal of the country, and his reputation and appeal are not weaker than Your Majesty."

"Between Your Majesty and Liu Ye, it is destined that only the battle can decide the success or defeat of the victory."

Liu Xie said angrily: "Yuan Shao is a traitor, he has forgotten the honor of the Han Dynasty to the Yuan family, and now he supports a pseudo-emperor, he must have the heart of Wang Mang." ”

Zhang Miao already had a grudge against Yuan Shao, and he also had sympathy with Liu Xie at this time, and said: "Now Ma Teng Han Sui of the state has fallen to Yuan Shao. ”

"Guanzhong is ruined because of the chaos of Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and others, and His Majesty wants to deal with Yuan Shao, but it is extremely difficult at present."

"And in the eastern part of the Kanto, because of Dong Zhuo and Li Dao's edicts, the assassins of all states became state pastors, so that Qing, Yan, Henan, Xu, Yang, and Jing all respected the state pastors, and they didn't know the name of His Majesty."

"Although Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, you can't command the people of the Six States."

Liu Xie said worriedly: "Changing history and establishing a pastor is not what I want. But now that the emperor's order has been issued, it is difficult to take back the emperor's order, does Situ have a good plan to teach me? ”

Zhang Miao paused, and said in a condensed voice: "Your Majesty was held hostage by Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and Guo Yan in the past, and the imperial orders issued were not what Your Majesty wanted. ”

"Now that Your Majesty is in power, in order to establish his prestige, he naturally wants to take back the right to be the governor of the states."

"Of course, this is just an attitude that His Majesty asked the state governors to express, and it is not really to take back their power."

"If you are willing to change your pastor to history, Your Majesty can still let them be state pastors."

"If you prevaricate and don't want to, then you will be regarded as a rebel and a traitor, and Your Majesty can send troops to fight!"

"Enwei and Wei, who dares to disobey these six states in the Kanto region?"

Liu Xie listened excitedly.

In the past, no one would have analyzed the general trend of the world for Liu Xie in such detail.

Basically, Dong Zhuo or Li Dao came over to tell Liu Xie what to do.

At this time, Liu Xie had a sense of participation that he had never had before.

"Situ has a point." Liu Xie sat down in a precarious position, trying his best to maintain the demeanor of the Son of Heaven: "This matter will be handed over to Situ to handle, I am very relieved." ”

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong talked to Liu Xie about the general trend of the world, and they all told Liu Xie about the major events from the first year of Chuping to the fourth year of Chuping.

This made Liu Xie's vision change dramatically.

In the past, when he was a puppet emperor, Liu Xianeng understood that the general trend of the world was very limited, as if he had closed his ears and eyes.

And now after listening to Zhang Miao and Chen Gong's narration, the changes in the general trend of the world in the past four years have emerged in Liu Xie's mind.

Liu Xie is already smart, and the changes in the general trend of the world in the past four years do not need Zhang Miao and Chen Gong to explain too much to understand some of the implications.

And Zhang Miao and Chen Gong intentionally or unintentionally, let Liu Xie see the threat of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others.

The most clever part of the discord plan lies not in the flattery, but in the inadvertently establishing the Cao Cao threat theory, Liu Bei threat theory, Liu Biao threat theory, and Liu Yan threat theory.

And Zhang Miao and Chen Gong always maintained the low profile of their courtiers, let Liu Xie take the initiative to think about the problems, and then took the initiative to ask Zhang Miao and Chen Gong about countermeasures.

"When General Zhenxi did not obtain the right to fake the festival, in order to kill Yuan Shu, he was able to connect all kinds of soldiers and horses without an edict, and even King Chen could serve for him. Now that you have the right to make a false festival, isn't it?"

"For the sake of his own personal vendetta, General Zhengdong actually crusaded against Xuzhou without authorization"

"Jingzhou is fertile for thousands of miles, and the armor is complete, Liu Biao doesn't even think about King Qin."

"Liu Yan isolated Hanzhong and destroyed the plank road, does this mean that he wants to establish himself as the king in Hanzhong?"

The heart of the emperor is the most suspicious.

Liu Xie has been a puppet emperor for four years, and he has suffered a lot, and his heart and mind are far inferior to others.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong just stated the general trend of the world to Liu Xie, which already made Liu Xie a lot of suspicions.

Even, Liu Xie had forgotten Lu Zhi's deathbed entrustment, and he also developed a sense of jealousy towards Liu Bei.

Exiting Liu Xie's dormitory, Lu Bu left alone to find his separated wife and daughter.

thought that his wife and daughter would be harmed by Li Dao Guo Yan, but Lu Bu learned that his wife and daughter were hidden by Pang Shu, who was also from Bingzhou.

This made Lu Bu quite happy.

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong rode back together.

"Gongtai, the Son of Heaven has become suspicious of the state pastors of the six Kanto states, and there is already an opportunity to integrate the forces of the six Kanto states." Zhang Miao's tone was brisk.

On the battlefield, Zhang Miao enjoyed this kind of strategizing very much.

Chen Gong also said with a smile: "Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, and Li Dao are all young and short-witted, and the Son of Heaven is young, so the ministers will be assisted in this national event." ”

"But they think that they can coerce the Son of Heaven to order the world, and it is not up to the Son of Heaven to decide everything, how stupid."

"As young as the Son of Heaven, we should be like the Ten Constant Servants, and all our actions should be in accordance with the will of the Son of Heaven."

"Only by giving the Son of Heaven the pleasure of his own expedition can I make my status as unshakable as Mount Tai."

"If you can't become a confidant of the Son of Heaven, how can you serve the Son of Heaven to order the world?"

Zhang Miao laughed: "This is also thanks to Lu Bu's small ambition. Although Lu Bu is arrogant, as long as he does what he likes, he can be driven. ”

"With the wisdom of Gongtai and the martial arts of Lu Bu, Guanzhong only needs to recuperate for three years before he can conquer the world's heroes."

Chen Gong nodded: "It's a pity." If it weren't for Wang Yun's greed for power, Guanzhong would not have withered like this, and Ma Teng Han Sui would not have fallen to Yuan Shao. ”

"If it was you and me in Guanzhong in the past, how could Yuan Shao and others be rampant?"

Zhang Miao laughed: "Although the timing is lacking, but now that you and I are in charge of the power of the DPRK, as long as you don't make a fool of yourself like Wang Yun to cut Lu Bu's military power." In this level, it is as stable as Mount Tai! ”

Chen Gong nodded: "Now that Guanzhong has been decided, it's time to go and find out the intelligence of Kanto." Last time, there was information that Liu Bei had used troops against Yuan Shu again, and he didn't know how the war was going. ”

"If Yuan Shu is really defeated by Liu Bei, then the Kanto Qunxiong, Liu Bei's family will be dominant,"

With Liu Xie's support, Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and Chen Gong quickly rectified the military and political affairs in Guanzhong, and gradually got on the right track.
