Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 62: Fighting for Power in Shu

Zhao Wei didn't expect that Chen Gong would dare to appear in front of him on his own initiative. The Chen Gong who reappeared in front of Zhao Wei didn't seem to have changed much from before, but there seemed to be something more unclear.

"Take it!" Nonsense Zhao Wei felt that it was unnecessary, he had enough reasons to take down Chen Gong, and he didn't need to discuss it with Chen Gong.

Chen Gong didn't resist either, and calmly let the soldiers tie him up, even with a disdainful smile on his face: "It seems that General Zhao has chosen the new lord of Sichuan?"

It sounded like cruel words from a desperate person, pale and ridiculous, but it was these pale and ridiculous words that made Zhao Wei's face change slightly, and he frowned and said, "Slow down!"

Looking at Chen Gong's calm gaze, Zhao Wei took a deep breath and said, "You have already escaped, why did you come back?"

"The land of Shu is the land of generals, if I want to escape, where can I escape?" Chen Gong sighed.

This land of Shu is no better than the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, as long as you don’t get caught on the spot, no one will be able to go where you go after leaving the city. The roads extending in all directions make it difficult for the princes occupying the Central Plains to find a blockade like Shu. With such a pass that people can't hide from, and people who are not familiar with the place, trying to escape under Zhao Wei's pursuit is tantamount to nonsense. In this case, it is better to stand up openly.

Zhao Wei laughed and said, "I'm a little self-aware, but... what did you mean by what you just said?"

"Liu Yizhou passed away unexpectedly, and I'm naturally heartbroken." Chen Gong looked at Zhao Wei and said, "However, the deceased is dead, and who should be in charge of Yizhou next, I think the general is more eager to know than Gong."

In other words, who will this right flow to? This is also the sorrow of those in power. If the successor does not have enough skill and ability to convince the public, then after the death of the person in power, the chances of the successor becoming a puppet will be very high.

As far as Zhao Wei is concerned, who is chosen as the successor will be related to the future prosperity of the family, so the higher the ability, the better.

In terms of ability, in fact, Liu Hao and Liu Zhang have nothing to contend with. They are not considered incompetent, but they are not too capable. They have the appearance of a middle-aged man. At this time, it depends on the competition of the forces behind them.

"I'll discuss this matter with you, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with your husband." Zhao Wei looked at Chen Gong and said.

"Did the general block the news?" Chen Gong asked again.

"Why do you want to block the news?" Zhao Wei asked puzzled.

"Why?" Chen Gong smiled: "When did the state herd become hereditary? If the news is not blocked, when the news reaches Chang'an, does the general think that the imperial court will be willing to let Liu Yizhou's son continue to take over the position of Yizhou shepherd?"

"The road to Shu is difficult, and sometimes it is difficult for the court to know the situation in Shu." Zhao Wei didn't think the court could control it.

"If the whole of Shu is united, even if the imperial court wants to interfere in the internal affairs of Shu, it is absolutely impossible. But now that Liu Yizhou is dead, it is still unclear who will take over Yizhou. The general can guarantee that no one will fall to the imperial court?" Chen Gong asked back.

The so-called one emperor and one courtier, there are many people in Yizhou who belong to the old tribe of Liu Yan, but they are not the old tribe of Liu Yan's son, and there is no heir now. There is no unified statement about who will inherit Liu Yan's position. , it is inevitable that some people have the intention of submitting to the imperial court. After all, Liu Yan is the shepherd of Yizhou, not the king of Yizhou!

"Furthermore..." Chen Gong saw Zhao Wei frowning in thought, took a step forward again, and said to Zhao Wei, "Lv Bu is now bringing the emperor to command the princes. His ambition is known to the world. If the news reaches Chang'an, the general thinks whether Lu Bu will Let go of this golden opportunity?"

Zhao Wei heard Wei Wei frowned: "It's not that easy for him to get in."

"I know that the road to Shu is difficult!" Chen Gong pointed to his heart and said, "But if people's hearts are scattered, so what can we do even if there are thousands of grand gates? If we can't establish the position of Yizhou Shepherd as soon as possible, how can we keep the land of Shu from being raped?" People get it!? The general should have heard of Lu Bu's reputation for being good at fighting. In the past, Yuan Shu's power was easily defeated by him. If one day, Lu Bu really led his army into Shu, I dare to ask the general, is there anyone in Shu who can match him? against?"

Zhao Wei was silent. If Lu Bu was really allowed to enter the Central Sichuan Plain, it would be over. He had heard of Lu Bu's reputation before. It would be fine if other people welcomed him in, just like he had welcomed Liu Yan back then. But Lu Bu If so, then you have to think carefully about it.

"Then according to Mr. Liu Mao's plan, how can I serve Liu Mao?" Zhao Wei frowned.

"Although Liu Hao looks like a middle-aged man, he has a strong personality, and the rest of Wu Yi has good in-laws. It is feasible for the general to serve Liu Mao, but the general has wondered whether the general will still have the status he has today?"

Liu Mao is Wu Yi's son-in-law, what do you use to argue with him? Chen Gong didn't believe that Zhao Wei was really that stupid, he was clearly testing himself.

"If it wasn't for Mr.'s words, it would have almost ruined the big event!" Zhao Wei was finally sure that Chen Gong wanted to help him, and he clasped his fists at Chen Gong and said, "So, how about I entrust the fourth son to inherit the lord's foundation?"

"This matter is a matter in the middle of Shu, and it is inconvenient for the palace to participate, but there is one thing. Send troops quickly to seal off important places such as Xiegu and Yangping Pass. Once the news reaches Chang'an, it will be too late for Lu Bu to send troops by then." Chen Gong laughed and said, his words have already shown that he will not live in Shu for a long time, let alone join the Dongzhou scholars to seize power with Zhao Wei, which can be regarded as reassuring Zhao Wei to do this with all his strength.

Regardless of whether Lu Bu took the opportunity to attack Shu, he couldn't pretend that he didn't. Since Lu Bu had humiliated him, Chen Gong must fight Lu Bu.

It's a pity that it's impossible to find Lu Bu to send troops. After this incident, he needs to leave as soon as possible and seek assistance from other directions. He doesn't know what the situation in the Central Plains is like.

"According to what you say!" Zhao Wei naturally heard Chen Gong's implication, and immediately agreed with a smile: "You can't blame Mr. Gongtai for what happened to you, you were also deceived by Lu Bu. If it is really bad Taking my husband's life, on the contrary, fulfilled Nalu Bu and made the traitor feel at ease, don't worry, sir, after I support the fourth son to ascend the throne, I will definitely forgive you."

"Thank you, General!" Chen Gong chuckled, this was an innocent disaster, who knew that there would be so many twists and turns.

Zhao Wei said with a smile: "Mr. Gongtai is resourceful and resourceful, what do you think about the establishment of a reserve?"

"Although Wu Yi and the third son are close relatives by marriage, how can this important matter in Sichuan be decided because of it? The palace thought that the general only needs to call all the officials to discuss and help the fourth son to be the governor of the state. When the matter is settled, Then write a letter to the imperial court and ask for the post of Yizhou shepherd." Chen Gong didn't think it was a problem from the beginning, Zhao Wei was not only a great hero for Liu Yan to gain a foothold in Shu, but also the head of a wealthy family in the middle of Shu. Behind them is the entire family in central Shu, and although there are Dongzhou scholars behind Wu Yi, they are not as unified as the family, especially when it comes to heirs, not all Dongzhou scholars may be on Wu Yi's side. The gap between the two sides.

The real important thing is to guard against Lu Bu. If such a big incident happened, Lu Bu's secret agents may have already passed on the news. Once Lu Bu chooses to command Shu, and let Lu Bu take advantage of the situation, it will be a real nightmare, so He came mainly to remind Zhao Wei to guard against Lu Bu.

Zhao Wei was also unambiguous in this regard. While convening the big clans in central Shu to discuss matters, he sent people to Hanzhong to inform the guard Zhang Xiu to take precautions so that Lu Bu would not sneak in.

With Chen Gong's persuasion, Zhao Wei also quickly assembled a group of scholars to show their cards, clearly expressing their support for the fourth son Liu Zhang's succession to the throne, but Wu Yi did not insist on this matter, and he also knew that he could not support himself alone. Now that Zhao Wei spoke, he must be fully prepared. He never thought that Zhao Wei would answer so decisively this time, and he could only reluctantly agree in the end.

At this point, Liu Zhang was replaced in the middle of Shu as the new Yizhou shepherd. After the dust settled, Zhao Wei also asked for an invitation from Chen Gong according to the agreement, and then sent people to Chang'an to report to the imperial court, and at the same time asked for the imperial court's approval.

It's okay if you don't approve it. Liu Zhang succeeded to the throne and the dust has settled. It will not be so easy for the court to attack Shu again.

"My lord, Mr. Gongtai came here this time because he was instigated by Na Lu Bu, and he didn't understand the situation in the middle of Shu, so he made an offensive statement. The doctor also said that the old lord's death was because he missed the eldest son and the second son. Shang Lu Bu deceived Mr. Gongtai because he didn’t know the situation in Sichuan. If we really killed Gongtai to vent our anger, it would only make Lu Bu proud. Apologize!" On the main hall of the State Shepherd's Mansion, Zhao Wei led Chen Gong and bowed to Liu Zhang.

"General, you don't need to be too polite." Liu Zhang stretched out his hand to help Zhao Wei to get up, and then thought for a while and said, "What General Zhao said is true, if you really kill your husband because of this, command to make your loved ones hurt your enemies quickly, Mr. Gongtai I have been wronged these days, and I hope Mr. Gongtai will not blame me."

"Don't dare!" Chen Gong saluted slightly: "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, I hope that Duke Ming can give Gong a boat."

"Oh?" Liu Zhang asked suspiciously, "Sir, won't you go to Guanzhong?"

"How to go?" Chen Gong said with a wry smile, "I've already ruined the opportunity for Lu Bu to destroy Shu, how can I be lucky if I enter the pass now?"

"Speaking of which, I've got you in trouble by waiting." Liu Zhang sighed, "It's because I didn't think carefully. In this case, I will order someone to escort you to Berkshire to take a boat. All your needs and some belongings will be prepared there, sir. Take a boat from Berkshire and go down the river, and you will soon arrive at Jiangling, but I don't know where the master is planning to go on this trip?"

"I'm planning to go to Huainan. My friend Zhang Miao and I have an appointment to meet in Huainan." Chen Gong laughed.

"Zhang Miao and Zhang Mengzhuo?" Zhao Wei asked in surprise.

"Exactly." Chen Gong nodded.

"As far as I know...Mr. Meng Zhuo seems to have passed away. A few days ago, the secret agent hidden in Jingzhou came back to report that not only Mr. Meng Zhuo was killed, but Zhang Chao's defense of Yongqiu was also broken by Cao Jun, and Yongqiu was also destroyed by Cao Jun. Massacre!" Zhao Wei said with a frown, although the information in Shuzhong was blocked, but as the rulers in Shuzhong, they had never stopped collecting information on the Central Plains.

Chen Gong felt dizzy when he heard the words, as if his head had exploded...
