Chapter 144: A country is a chessboard
"That's all for these tens of thousands of soldiers?" Xindu's intelligence came back, and the national fortunes that were already on the verge of collapse began to converge again, which made the ministers very puzzled, and a strategist couldn't help but ask many people's doubts in the court.
For the sake of the current situation, they spent a lot of effort, but they didn't expect the other party to expose the matter so easily, which made it a little difficult for the Han ministers to accept.
"Isn't that a big deal? People have to live, don't they, the reward given by the Xing Dynasty is indeed rich, of course, this is not the most important, the Xing Dynasty obviously did not expect these people to eliminate the resentment in their hearts, this hand is for others to see, the blame has been borne by that Min Yanzhang, and he was also executed on the spot by the Dao League, the Dao League not only improved its prestige, but also led people's grievances here, and also forced the Son of Heaven to issue an edict against himself, and gave a large amount of subsidies when the treasury was not full. ”
"In other words, even if these family members can't accept it, it's useless, this is for others to see, and in this matter, the Dao League has made a break with the imperial court, intentionally or unintentionally suppressing the prestige of the imperial court to achieve the Dao Alliance, even if the people have grievances, it is to the imperial court rather than the Dao Alliance."
"And judging from the performance of the Dao League, this time the Dao Alliance is going to accept the right, and the Daxing Son of Heaven is now just a puppet of the Dao League, suppressing the prestige of the Son of Heaven and raising the Dao League, those family members will complain about the Son of Heaven, but what does this have to do with the Dao League?"
"The generous subsidy was given by the Dao League, the direct enemy Min Yanzhang was killed by the Dao League, and the edict of the Son of Heaven was also written under the tough attitude of the Dao League, they have no reason to complain about the Dao League, and even support the Dao League more than others."
It was Ma Wenxiao who spoke, but when he said this, he couldn't help but sigh: "So, my Han's current opponent has been transferred from the Daxing Dynasty to the Dao Alliance. ”
Even Dahan and Lu Bu are pawns in this game, but Ma Wenxiao didn't say this, he believes that Lu Bu understands.
The atmosphere in the tent fell silent.
When the Han Dynasty pacified the world, the Dao League in the Han Dynasty was inexplicably wiped out, so it did not really fight with the Dao League, and now facing the Dao League, the ministers inevitably had the concept of facing the Dao League in the past, and everyone had pressure in their hearts.
Lu Bu knocked on the table unhurriedly, and when he saw that the ministers were silent, he suddenly smiled.
"Your Majesty has a strategy to break the enemy?" Seeing that Lu Bu suddenly laughed, everyone hurriedly asked, as the founding king of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu has always given people the feeling that he has always been very reliable, no matter what it is, it can be easily solved when he comes to him.
"It's thinking of something interesting." Lu Bu looked at the ministers and asked, "Zhu Qing said, is there a monolith within this Dao Alliance?" ”
Naturally, it is impossible, but now that the Dao Sect is in the world, the Yipin Dao Sect has absolute dominance over the Dao Alliance, and the problems that Lu Bu said will no longer be a problem under the suppression of the absolute strength of the Dao Sect.
"Your Majesty, now that the Dao Sect is in the world, whether it is monolithic or not, it is now one." One of the advisors sighed.
Ma Wenxiao thought for a while and said: "But this unity is forcibly unified under external forces, if the Taoist Sect is gone, it will be restored to its previous state." ”
The ministers were speechless when they heard this, and the ministers who spoke before smiled bitterly: "How can a product in the world suddenly disappear?" ”
Ma Wenxiao shook his head and said: "It is impossible for nature to disappear, but it is possible in local areas." ”
Hearing this, the ministers frowned and looked at Ma Wenxiao, not understanding what he wanted to say.
"Before, the minister had been thinking, since that Dao Sect wanted to help Daxing, with the power of one product, why not just take action? This time, he controlled the Daxing Dynasty through various means, which also confirmed the conjecture of the minister, that Daozong could not make a move or be afraid of the lord of a country, and he could not even seal it. Ma Wenxiao looked at Lu Bu and confirmed.
"It depends on whether the luck is strong, and now the Daxing Dynasty, there may be no power to fight back against him." Lu Bu said with a smile.
"But I'm a big man?" Ma Wenxiao bowed down and asked.
"Hmm." Lu Bu nodded, with the blessing of the national fortune, he can transfer the rules in the Han Dynasty at will, and at the same time he can restrict the other party from exercising the rules.
This is still in Dahan, if it is in Tiandu, that product is here, whether it can go out, it depends on Lu Xuan's mood, this is also the reason why the three of them went to Daming last time, but they only looked at the appearance of Tianzhou.
Ma Wenxiao pondered: "Therefore, Your Majesty can restrict that Dao Sect. ”
Lu Bu bowed his head and said, "Yes, but it is only within the scope of my great luck." ”
Ma Wenxiao bowed: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to try this matter, Your Majesty only needs to ensure that the Dao Sect is confined to this Xindu City." ”
"Yes!" Lu Bu nodded, he really needs someone to help him attract the attention of the other party, he still trusts Ma Wenxiao's ability, unlike Li Xingzhi, Ma Wenxiao takes the path of a strategist, full of opportunities, he probably knows Ma Wenxiao's intentions, and wants to start with the three sects of the Dao Alliance, but whether it can succeed Lu Bu and Ma Wenxiao are not sure, so this is not Lu Bu's idea, but you might as well give it a try: "I will be stationed here, if that product leaves, I will attack Xindu, as for the rest, I can't help you." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ma Wenxiao saluted again, and then took his leave and left.
On the other side, the masters of the Dao Alliance began to enter various cities, and this time they no longer helped defend the city, but directly began to mobilize.
Naturally, the governing ability of these Dao Alliance monks cannot be compared with the officials who have been in the official career all year round, but in terms of dealing with the Han army, these people obviously have more methods.
All kinds of spells, formations, refining weapons, and other cultivation methods were cast.
Previously, they were dominated by the imperial army, and they were not superiors and subordinates, and the generals could not order them to do anything, but now, these people are the masters, and there are orders from the Taoist sect, and they have no scruples about making a move, and all kinds of means are displayed, and the Han army is frustrated almost everywhere.
The Han army, which was originally like a bamboo, began to fall into decline with the entry of these Dao Alliance masters, and could only turn from offensive to defensive, hoping that the court masters could settle these Taoist priests.
It's just below the sixth grade, and there are a lot of masters in the imperial court, but above the sixth grade, the number of masters in the imperial court has decreased sharply, far less than the many masters of the Dao League, but in just one month, the Han army has lost more than 30 cities.
A month later, in Lu Bu's camp, the Dao Alliance sent a messenger to see Lu Bu again, still so arrogant, looking at Lu Bu with a bit of a look down: "Your Majesty, how are you thinking about it?" The Dao Sect is willing to let you be at the same level as the three sects of the Dao Alliance, and at the same time lead the throne, I don't know what Your Majesty wants? ”
Lu Bu looked at the other party, took a sip of tea and said: "This game of chess is not finished yet, tell you Daozong, if Daxing loses this game of chess, whatever conditions the Dao Sect has, I will agree, but if I win, the position of the master of this Dao Alliance will be sat by me, and within the Dao Alliance, even the Dao Sect is also under me!" ”
"Arrogance!" The Taoist raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Lu Budao: "Who are you, dare to let the world's best products be subservient to you?" ”
"Who I am, you should be clear, and please pay attention to your attitude of speaking, although I don't know what your Dao Sect is asking for, but your Dao Sect is asking for me, not me asking for him." Lu Bu didn't drive people out this time, but said indifferently: "I am the Son of Heaven, how can the Son of Heaven live under people?" If you want me to do something, I must first show my skills, and I will play this game of chess yet! ”
"Good!" The Taoist snorted coldly and said, "That poor Dao also wants to see what His Majesty is capable of making such wild words!" ”
After speaking, he ignored Lu Bu and walked away.
The ministers were a little confused, His Majesty was playing chess with the Taoist Sect, and the chessboard was Daxing?
What kind of chess is this special mother, and you want to use it as a chessboard?
Someone wanted to ask, but just looked at Lu Bu, no one dared to speak, and it seemed that this matter involved some earth-shattering secrets.
On the other side, Dao Zhen couldn't help but smile when he received Lu Bu's reply: "Yes, it's really rebellious." ”
"Daozong, this person is too arrogant!" The man was still a little indignant.
"What this seat wants is a wolf who can fight for this seat, not an obedient dog, if he is like that Dugu Hao to be a dog with a broken backbone, then this seat has to consider whether he sees the wrong person." Dao Zhen said disapprovingly: "This game of chess, since he wants to play, then this seat will accompany him to finish playing, notify the three sects, and drive the Han army out of Daxing as soon as possible, this seat also wants to see if this Lu Bu is qualified to play against this seat." ”
"Yes!" When the Taoist heard this, he didn't dare to say more, bowed, withdrew from the Daozhen residence, and went to give orders.
With Dao Zhen's order, the masters of the three sects took action one after another, and although the generals such as Chi Tuo, the captain of Lu Bu, were proficient in the use of soldiers and brave in killing, they could only be tired of dealing with the endless means of the Dao Alliance, which was still the reason why the other party did not make a dead move.
The Han army's front was forced to retreat.
At the same time, Ma Wenxiao began to secretly contact the high-level leaders of the three sects of the Dao Alliance, and was also insighted by Dao Zhen.
"That's the only way to do it." Dao Zhen was a little disappointed to be honest, Lu Bu's entry point was good, but it was a pity that he didn't take precautions?
"Daozong, recently, many of the orphans of those soldiers and puppets in the people have been reselling the property they distributed before, and I feel that this matter is a little strange." Dugu Hao found Daozhen, and after hesitating for a moment, he still told Daozhen what he felt was wrong.
"These things...... Your Majesty will deal with it, and there is no need to consult with this seat. Daozhen glanced at him and waved his hand.
Now he and Lu Bu are playing, Dugu Hao's value is not much, just wait for Lu Bu to be soft, so that this puppet can also leave completely, as for the position of immortality promised before, it is the premise that the Daxing Dynasty is still there, if the Daxing Dynasty is gone, the position of immortality will naturally disappear.
Dugu Hao nodded silently, didn't say anything, turned to leave, and his back was a little indescribable......
