Chapter 295(1/2)
September of the second year of Jian'an (197 AD).
As the war in Jingzhou spread, the princes in the world were very strange. It was obvious that Cao Cao and Lu Bu wanted to send troops. The best thing that suited Cao Cao's current situation was that Liu Biao would continue to rule, rather than the two Lius fighting for heroes.
Lu Bu hoped that the two Liu would fight forever, and it would be better to fight for three or five years, or to stop the truce and divide Jingzhou.
Chang'an.
"Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have been preparing for war, and have sent people to win over Liu Zhang, Yizhou. Jingzhou is now in chaos."
In the study, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and Tian Feng who were recalled, all four confidants were there, and Lu Bu also showed a sad face.
"Do you have any plans to alienate Cao Cao and Yuan Shao?"
After hearing this, the four of them looked at each other and finally sighed helplessly.
Tian Feng was the most direct and bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "Lord, Cao Cao, who took the emperor to order the princes, was in the four battles in Yanzhou and developed to the princes who are now only below the lord, and should be the heroic lord."
Tian Feng's words, the other three nodded secretly, and Cao Cao had already revealed his appearance as a hero, far from being comparable to that before.
"This time Yuan Shao was injured and was licking his wounds, just waiting to recover his energy and then start a war."
Tian Feng shook his head, and his face was full of sorrow. The most embarrassing thing about their lord Lu Bu is that he seems to be the number one prince in the world, but he is almost bounded with the territory of all princes.
Except for Sun Ce in Jiangdong, almost every prince is bordered, and the princes are obviously in the sense of joining forces at the moment.
"Lord, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao suffered such a big loss, and it is difficult to get apart."
Tian Feng sighed helplessly in the end. Even if Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were dirty, they would not break up with Lu Bu who was eyeing him.
At least you have to defeat Lu Bu or fight Lu Bu back to Guanzhong.
Jia Xu lowered his head and frowned and pondered, while Guo Jia also looked bitter. He really didn't have a good idea for the princes in the world at the moment.
Once you move your whole body, if you dare to send troops, it may cause a chain reaction, and even let the princes in the world start targeting you together.
When everyone was worried, Cheng Yu, the oldest, hesitated for a moment, raised his head and looked at his lord and three colleagues, and bowed his hands blankly.
"Lord, there is a way or maybe it can be done."
A sentence instantly made Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Tian Feng look curiously. Even Lu Bu waved his subordinates, "Zhong De, let's talk quickly."
Cheng Yu, who had only met without expression, said softly: "The princes in the world are afraid of the lord sending troops, but what if they lead the princes to attack?"
When everyone was stunned and puzzled, Cheng Yu slowly lowered his head and bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shaoxin was defeated, and it was just when he licked his wounds. Jingzhou was in chaos. Even though the two Lius were shaking hands and speaking with peace, they had no energy to send troops to conquer the Central Plains."
"Liu Zhang, a mediocre person in Yizhou, is a dog guarding the gate."
"The only Cao Cao!"
When he said this, Jia Xu and Guo Jia, who reacted the fastest, were already secretly shocked and looked at the old man Cheng Yu in shock.
So cruel!
Ginger is still spicy!
Tian Feng thought of something, and couldn't help but feel shocked and at a loss.
"The lord has been fighting in the south and north for many years, suppressing the rebellion in Xiliang, retreating to the unofficial thief Liu Yan, Luoyang drove out the traitors of the rioters of the country, Hedong fought against the Xiongnu, Jizhou defeated the Yuan family, and had great achievements in fighting. The people under his rule were even more at ease. Who can compare with the lord's morality in the world?"
"In terms of credit, we should not be in the current status."
When he said this, Cheng Yu's eyes were filled with endless ambitions and said in a deep voice: "With the lord's literary virtue, a messenger should be sent to Xuchang to meet the emperor. This merit is enough to be called a Duke! He is a king!"
He was called the King of the Lord!
The last four words were even more powerful and powerful. After saying that, Cheng Yu did not hide the passionate ambitions in his eyes.
In the ancient study room with a faint smell of sandalwood fragrance, four gazes showed strange colors, and Lu Bu looked at the four of them and became silent.
He was called the King of the Lord!
Cheng Yu's plan was very simple. At this time, he dared to do this. Cao Cao used the emperor to order the princes to come to Lu Bu to talk about it. What do you say? Of course, it is to use troops.
If Cao Cao dares to endure it, then the prestige of the Emperor of Han will reach another level. At the same time, what will happen to him when he uses the Emperor to order the princes to do the future?
More importantly, at this time, Cao Cao sent troops to attack, and what about Yuan Shao? He has not recovered his strength at all, so at most he will send some troops to restrain him.
There is no possibility of war in Jingzhou. Liu Biao and Liu Bei both have been slapping their heads, and they still care about your business.
Liu Zhang won’t mention it for now.
The most important thing is that Lu Bu counterattacks and defends! This is the key.
"Actually called a public official! Call it a public official?"
Lu Bu's affirmation and a little doubt, and Cheng Yu instantly smiled excitedly.
He was indeed right, he was right in this life. He once dreamed of the big sun and corresponded to Lu Bu. He had not doubted for so many years, and he would not doubt at this moment.
Jia Xu and Guo Jia were even more shocked. Let’s not say anything about Tian Feng. It’s not that Cheng Yu is much smarter than them, but that he is ambitious!
From the beginning, Cheng Yu looked for the wise master, and saw that the Han Dynasty was already setting. He almost believed that the wise master was looking for was the new sun in the future.
In other words, from the beginning, Cheng Yu faced the problem by assisting the future overlord emperor, while Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Tian Feng may have, but they were not so bold.
"The lord can be called Duke Jin!"
boom!
Cheng Yu's affirmative words shocked everyone first, and then they all showed their fiery eyes.
If you become king at this time, it may cause an alliance of princes in the world to attack, but it may not be called a king, and even if you come, you can smash it.
Now is the best time. It is impossible for the two Lius in Jingzhou to be the first to be. Liu Zhang in Yizhou is almost out of consideration, and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are also there.
Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are almost unavoidable. What are they afraid of?
"Duke Jin!" Lu Bu murmured to himself, and finally showed an ambitious smile.
During the Han Dynasty, whether it was called a king or a king, there was a title, and the title was divided into high and low.
Among the kings, the vassal states are generally enfeoffed, which includes the so-called distinction between high and low.
The character Qin is the most noble, followed by Jin, Qi, Chu, etc., of course it is also related to the territory under his command.
You can't occupy Jiangdong. You say you are called King of Qin, it's nonsense.
Lu Bu now occupies half of Hebei in Guanzhong, which means that the two most noble titles of Qin and Jin were chosen by him.
Although Qin was the most expensive, Qin was replaced by Han and the Qin II was destroyed at the same time. It was a bit unlucky and taboo, but the character Jin was very good.
Although no one has stated it clearly, Jin is almost the most respected now.
(In history, 29 people named King of Jin were last emperors, and only 5 people named King of Qin were 15.)
"I was born in Bingzhou, and the land of Yan and Zhao is also the land of the Three Jins."
In Lu Bu's plain voice, he almost made his name in one sentence. It doesn't matter whether he calls him a lord or not, but this momentum must be fought out. He must observe how the princes in the world are preparing to deal with it.
"Let Zhang Liao and Gao Shun be prepared secretly to prevent Yuan Shao from counterattacking."
"At the same time, Yan Xing, Pang De, and the three of them went to Jizhou to take charge."
"Zhao Yun was transferred to Hulao Pass, and secretly prepared for Zhang Ren, and secretly transferred 8,000 elite troops to reinforce Hulao."
promise!
"Wancheng has added 20,000 troops, and Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang are prepared."
"Let the three generals Yan Yan, Ma Teng and Ma Chao prepare for their troops and horses, and they can quickly rush to the battlefield for war."
promise!
After the military orders were issued, Lu Bu's determination was directly expressed. At this time, he could not send troops, so let you send troops.
The prince Cao Cao had just experienced a great war. Not to mention Yuan Shu's territory, he had not yet digested it. After two years of war, is the food and grass enough? He also has the war-wearing desire of the soldiers.
At the same time, there is Jiangdong. Cao Cao flew over Jiangdong, who was directly trapped by his subordinates, and he vomited out again because of his affliction.
Lu Bu was completely defensive, almost similar to Yuan Shu’s king, but not like him.
Originally, Lu Bu was facing the most princes in the world, and the power of the aristocratic families under his territory was not strong.
Luoyang experienced the rebellion between Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and Guo Si. Not to mention the aristocratic family was damaged, the severe damage was almost certain. Almost all the remaining aristocratic families followed Cao Cao to Xuchang.
The aristocratic families in Chang'an were originally weak, and the forces separated by the Luoyang family, that is, the so-called concubines, had long been disliked by the local aristocratic families.
Half a pound! The strongest family background is Hedong and Henei counties, but it was also severely damaged by the Huns.
Besides, Lu Bu was called the king, not the king! There is still a gap.
More ambitious!
After experiencing the magical legends of Lu Bu, the god-given thing can be said to have almost established a firm foothold under Lu Bu's command, or officials who have become officials have long been ambitious.
Last time, Lu Bu did not make any moves, which disappointed and regretted many of them, but he did not dare to say anything privately. After throwing it out again, it may arouse everyone's ambitions again.
The Duke is the Duke, the highest one among the titles.
Since you are called a king, is the king still far away?
It was in September of the second year of Jian'an (197 AD), and a hurricane blown by Lu Bu was blowing in Guanzhong, Luoyang and Bingzhou, and Jizhou.
Wen Hou Lu Bu made great achievements in military affairs and was far inferior to Yuan Shao, who was called the general, but where was Lu Bu?
