Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

"General Wenyuan is a general under my lord no less than General Gao Shun. My lord relies heavily on him. However, he has been absent from the Central Plains for a long time and most people do not know his abilities. But he can be relied upon by my lord. Who is not a powerful person? You When you go to the Western Regions, there will be no harm in listening more and talking less." When Zhao Yun left Chang'an, he had only Xun You to see him off. He didn't have many friends in Chang'an, and Xun You was the only one.

"Sir's teachings, Yun will remember them in his heart." Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, even if Xun You didn't tell him, Zhao Yun would not have gone to cause trouble. His character is that kind of tepid, so let him show off his abilities in order to show off his abilities. He doesn't get along with Zhao Yun's personality.

"Actually, with Zilong's character, he will probably not cause trouble." Xun You looked at the crowds coming and going at the city gate, looked at Zhao Yun and said with a smile: "You should bring a few servants with you. When we go to the Western Regions, many places on the road are filled with Qiang people. Gathering, although there are now fewer conflicts between the Qiang and Han people, it is not a peaceful place after all."

"My family only has one steward and two healthy servants. The journey to the Western Region is far away, so it will be a burden to take them with me." Zhao Yun laughed and said, "I have three servants in my family, and I have to ask my husband to take care of them."

His house was half sold and half given away by Xun You. With his family background, it was good to have this in his family. As for the servants... we will talk about it later.

Xun You didn't say anything about helping him. He knew that Zhao Yun would not accept it, so when Zhao Yun said this, he just nodded in agreement, and then said: "I personally selected the books I gave you. They should be of use to Zilong. The Western Regions Although it is a bitter and cold place, you can still make achievements. If you figure it out one day, you may be the right-hand man of the Lord in the future, just like Gao Shun and Xu Rong are now."

Lu Bu's right-hand man?

Zhao Yun sighed after hearing this. Although his opinion of Lu Bu had changed during these years in Chang'an, he still stood on the side of the Han Dynasty. It was not for family interests or anything else, but just to maintain orthodoxy.

Seeing him like this, Xun You knew that his views had not changed, so he did not persuade him.

In fact, Zhao Yun comes from a wealthy family, so he should be closer to Lu Bu in terms of stance, but...it can only be said that stance in this world cannot be determined solely by family background. People's pursuits and cognitions are different, and stances will naturally change. It's different, just like Xun You, he is the one who should stand opposite Lu Bu, but now the lord calls him smoothly.

Xun You actually has a lot of truths to say. For example, the rise of dynasties is determined by the fate of heaven. For example, the world should not be one family with one surname. But everyone knows the truth, but not everyone agrees. This thing cannot be changed in a day or two. of.

Forget it, just figure it out on your own. Sometimes if people can figure it out on their own, the change in their concepts can happen in an instant. But if they can’t figure it out, it’s no use what others say. Especially Zhao Yun, who seems to be gentle, but is actually This is especially true for people with strong principles, why bother?

"Sir, the gift of the book will be unforgettable to Yun Meiqi. It's getting late, so Yun should be on his way! Please come back, sir." Zhao Yun looked at the sky, bowed to Xun You, and took his two horses, one for For riding, the other is used for carrying things.

"Take care of yourself!"

"Farewell!"

After Zhao Yun bowed again, he set off. The time given to him by Lu Bu was actually quite easy. He could reach Zhang Liao within three months. However, Zhao Yun didn't know much about the Western Regions, so he set off earlier to take a look at this place. The scenery is different, and secondly, there are some opportunities for error. If you go the wrong way, you still have time to correct it.

Although Xiliang is close to Guanzhong, the scenery is quite different after passing Longguan. Compared with the endless plains of Guanzhong, after entering Xiliang, the desolate and majestic feeling really makes people feel completely new. feeling.

The villages he passed along the way seemed to be different from those in the Central Plains. Zhao Yun traveled to the Western Regions in a leisurely way, sometimes stopping to stay in local farmhouses for a day or two. , he heard from many people about the changes in Xiliang in the past two years. Just a few years ago, the conflicts between Qiang and Han in Xiliang almost never stopped, especially after the autumn harvest, big and small battles between Qiang and Han continued.

Because the water source is relatively normal, sometimes just because livestock eat grass and cross the border, it may cause riots. It was originally a conflict between the Qiang tribe and the Han village, but people from the government office came to interfere, and in an instant If the conflict intensifies, it will be reported to the court and troops will be sent to suppress it.

In short, there were very few people in the past who seriously studied the root cause of the contradiction between the two ethnic groups like Lu Bu, and then solved the problem fundamentally. Even if there were occasionally, they were not as powerful as Lu Bu. When it comes to the issue of Qiang Han, Lu Bu was in Guanzhong University. During the drought, we never slacked off for a moment, which is why today we have a gradually peaceful environment among the strong.

Now Lu Bu's prestige among the Xiliang Qiang people has surpassed that of the Ma family. Now, as the governor of Jincheng, Ma Teng has lost his past status in the eyes of the Qiang people, but now if Ma Teng wants to win over the Qiang people to rebel against Lu Bu, , that would be difficult.

Ordinary Qiang people don't understand these principles. They don't even know why there are fewer conflicts with the Han people now, and the Han people are more pleasing to the eye. Intermarriage between the Qiang and Han people is becoming more and more frequent, but Zhao Yun probably understands that the government office played a big role in this.

Sometimes when you live at the bottom, you don't seek favoritism, but just want a bowl of water to be balanced. But even this is often impossible. But now that Lu Bu has done it, there are naturally fewer conflicts.

In addition, Lu Bu is constantly looking for mineral veins here and encouraging private trade. The opening of the Silk Road has brought a lot of business opportunities to this area, making the exchanges between Qiang and Han more frequent. Since the Qiang and Han have the same origin, the contradictions are not the same. The conflict between Hu and Han was so fierce, and now that the government office can provide a bowl of water according to the wishes of the court, many problems will naturally be eliminated.

Zhao Yun suddenly discovered that he began to understand the meaning of Lu Bu's decrees more and more. He didn't feel much about these things when he saw them in Chang'an, but when he was really there, combined with what he saw in Chang'an, he suddenly understood Lu Bu. intention.

In other words, there is actually no problem with Lu Bu's governance. In this case, why can't the conflicts with the Guandong princes be resolved through words? Could it be that the conflict with the Guandong princes is greater than that between the Qiang and Han?

Zhao Yun was either thinking about these issues or reading books along the way, hoping to find the root of this troubled world from the book. Unfortunately, he could not find it until he went to Dunhuang.

Not to mention Zhao Yun went to Dunhuang to look for Zhang Liao, in Chang'an, when the envoy from the Western Regions arrived, there was another group of people who quietly arrived in Chang'an.

"When I was young, I heard from my father that Chang'an was not so prosperous." Walking on the street, Sun Quan looked at the streets with people coming and going curiously. When he was a child, Sun Jian mentioned Chang'an to him with a bit of regret. His tone lamented the decline of this ancient capital, but what I see now is that the carriages and horses in Chang'an City are like dragons, and the flowers are blooming like brocade. There is no trace of the decay of the ancient capital that my father said at the time.

"Sir, my old master followed General Huangfu to conquer Xiliang more than ten years ago. At that time, Dong Zhuo moved all the people of Heluo to Chang'an. It is not surprising that such a scene would happen." The middle-aged man accompanying him smiled a little. Far-fetched, obviously the scene in Chang'an is much different from the legendary one.

"Mr. Zibu, do you think Lu Bu will agree to my brother's request?" Sun Quan suddenly asked.

After all, Lu Bu has a grudge against the Sun family. In fact, it doesn't matter to Lu Bu. After all, he has killed many people on the battlefield, but as far as the Sun brothers are concerned, Lu Bu is the real enemy who killed his father. This time Sent by Sun Quan to pay homage to Guanzhong, Sun Ce also wanted to give it a try after seeing Liu Bei's success.

Sun Ce's biggest problem now is that he has an unfair reputation. He borrowed Yuan Shu's eight thousand troops to go to the east of the Yangtze River from the Han River. Those eight thousand troops will never be returned once borrowed. In fact, in this world, borrowing is still a normal thing. For For Sun Ce in the early stage, this was really not a big deal.

But things are different now. Sun Ce successively captured Kuaiji, Wu Commandery, and Danyang. As his territory grew larger and larger, he had to get rid of Yuan Shu completely, because nominally, Sun Ce was still Yuan Shu's subordinate, but he no longer listened to Yuan Shu's orders, but this Sun Ce no longer wants to be the official name. He wants to establish his own business, and it is not easy to completely break off the relationship with Yuan Shu. After all, even if Yuan Shu manages his subordinates into a mess, it is just because of his incompetence.

You have a saying that neither an ugly bitch nor a poor family is too much. You, Sun Ce, took other people's soldiers to build a foundation, and also sent out troops under the banner of Yuan Shu. Now that you have become more powerful, you want to stand on your own. Play in Jiangdong, where there is a big river. The distance is as big as your fists, it's up to you, but if one day you want to cross the river to the Central Plains, the Central Plains people won't recognize you.

Although this thing is necessary, everyone recognizes the rules of the game and you can't make a comeback.

Therefore, Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Ce learn from Liu Bei and ask Lu Bu for an official position. It doesn’t need to be too big. It doesn’t have to be too big. It can be the governor of Wu County, Kuaiji, or Danyang. Yangzhou Mu is better. In short, he must get the legitimacy of self-reliance from the imperial court. In this way, I will help From the imperial court, no matter how great you Yuan Shu is, you are still not as big as the imperial court. I can return your troops and horses, or I can continue to respect you, but from the moment you are appointed an official by the imperial court, you and I are of the same status!

Naturally, Sun Ce was unwilling to compromise with the enemy who killed his father, but Zhou Yu said so, Zhang Zhao also persuaded him, and Sun Quan also persuaded him. In the end, Sun Ce agreed and sent people to Chang'an to offer taxes and ask for an official position from the court.

Originally, according to Sun Ce's wish, Zhang Zhao could come, but Sun Quan felt that he needed to show sincerity, so he decided to come with Zhang Zhao instead of Sun Ce.

"It should be possible." Zhang Zhao walked away, stroking his beard and smiling: "After all, the princes from all walks of life in the Central Plains are now vaguely trying to join forces to fight against Lu Bu. This is a vertical alliance. If Lu Bu wants to break the situation, he can only join forces. Liu Bei is a leader. But the strength is too weak. If I come here at this time, perhaps the happiest person will be Lu Bu."

"How can you call a guard officer by his first name?" A passing merchant frowned and glared at Zhang Zhao: "Looking at your appearance, how come you can't speak human words?"

Zhang Zhao: "..."

what's the situation? Who is this person?
