The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Zhang Liao thought about it and understood Lu Bu's logic.

Xinxi County was next to the territory currently controlled by Lv Bu, and the high-ranking official was appointed as the Xinxi Order. In Lu Bu's view, this was tantamount to the court "taking the initiative to increase his territory"; give him more territory"? Only because the court knew his loyalty. It can only be that the court is using this to win over him. -Speaking from facts, it is not wrong for Lü Bu to understand why the imperial court would appoint the high-ranking official as the new interest order. In fact, this is exactly what Xun Zhen wanted to make Lü Bu understand.

Having said that, here's one more thing to say.

In the imperial decree issued to Lu Bu at the head of the court, the decree of changing Lu Bu to the Marquis of Shunyang, and replacing his fief from Wen County in Hanoi County to Shunyang County in Nanyang County, on the surface, is indeed the same as Lu Bu. He said that he was considerate to Lu Bu. His previous fief was in Hanoi County, and he couldn’t get the income from his fief, so he could switch to Shunyang County, which is Yuan Shu’s territory, and he seemed to be able to get the income from the fief. . But in fact, this is only superficial consideration, and fundamentally, the purpose of the court's will is to provoke the relationship between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu. According to the Han family system, although not all the taxes paid by the fief were given to the person who received the fief, no matter how much it was given, in the end, the part that was given to Lu Bu was Yuan Shu's loss. How could Yuan Shu be happy to lose a large amount of income for no reason? But if Yuan Shu didn't give it to Lv Bu, it would definitely cause Lv Bu's dissatisfaction. The challenge is done.

Lü Bu did not see this, and thought that the imperial court was considerate to him by changing him to be the Marquis of Shunyang.

Appointing his high-ranking official as the magistrate of Xinxi County is actually the same.

On the surface, Xinxi is adjacent to the northern part of Jiangxia currently controlled by Lu Bu, so he gave Lu Bu an extra county, which is very considerate, but in fact, let alone appointing Xinxi county magistrate to his subordinates, even if If the magistrate of Anyang County in the southwest of Xinxi is also appointed to someone under his account, how much real value and role can it bring to Lu Bu?

If one person takes office and does not bring troops and horses, he will not be able to form a real rule over the local area; and if Lv Bu dares to send troops to station, there will be mountains between Xinxi, Anyang and the counties of Ruguo, Hu, and Xiyang. Isn't it the end of being surrounded and annihilated?

Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were not as happy as Lü Bu, precisely because they saw this.

However, Lu Bu's wishful thinking led him to blindly ignore this point.

Zhang Liao hesitated, and said: "Or as the general said, the court honored Shude as the magistrate of Xinxi because it knew the general's loyalty. However, considering the foolish opinion of the last general, it is a foolproof plan, next year's Zhengdan Dynasty congratulations, the general It's better not to go there in person because of this."

Lu Bu asked, "Why is this?"

Zhang Liao hesitated for a while, and finally expressed his inner thoughts truthfully. He said, "General, don't forget Sun Jian's death!"

Lu Bu laughed, pointed at Zhang Liao, and said, "Wenyuan, I knew that you were worried about this. Yes, in Yingchuan County that day, Sun Jianzhi killed our army, of course because of your suggestions, but On the one hand, I will definitely not leak this. If I don’t say it, if you don’t say it, who would know that this strategy came from you? Furthermore, I will still say that, Xun Zhenzhi is a big man, not a small belly. A person who will ruin state affairs because of personal resentment, he will definitely not blame you for it." Seeing Zhang Liao still

With a worried look on his face, he smiled again, "Are you still worried? Wen Yuan, take a step back and say, I am the commander of the army, Xun Zhenzhi and Sun Bofu really want to avenge Sun Jian, and they are looking for me too. , it's not your turn! Wen Yuan, you can put away this worry."

The words are simple, but the death of Sun Jian, as Lu Bu said, was due to Zhang Liao's policy, how could Zhang Liao be like Lv Bu, and it seems that he didn't take this hatred against Xun Zhen and Sun Ce to heart at all. Do you think that Xun Zhen can meet him with a smile and forget his grievances?

Zhang Liao said: "Although what the general said is true, but General, Shu De has something to say in the last letter, that he was in danger of being killed by Sun Hao Yu Dao on the first day of his plan in Xu County! General, Shu De is just a general. A high-ranking official in the manor..."

"Wenyuan, I know what you want to say. What kind of thing is Sun Hao? Sun Cezhi's obedient brother is nothing more than an unnamed Shuzi! Even if he still holds grudges, what's the use? He can still resist the sage and Xun Zhenzhi. Isn't it also mentioned in Shude's book? After this incident, what did Xun Zhenzhi do? He specially sent two teams of soldiers to protect Shude day and night! His desire to let go of my previous suspicions is obvious enough! "

Zhang Liao wanted to say more, but he could see that Lü Bu was so excited and impatient, so he didn't dare to say more, so he promised to stop talking.

Lu Bu asked Gao Shun and said, "Zixiang, why don't you seem unhappy? What? You are like Wen Yuan, don't you want me to enter the court and congratulate me on Zhengdan?" He stroked his beard, laughed again, and said, " Zixiang, you are not like Wen Yuan, you have the past that our army was able to kill Sun Jian because of your strategy, but why are you?"

—He was joking in the second half of the sentence, but the joke was clearly not funny. Zhang Liao's mood became more and more frightened.

Gao Shun replied: "Duke Ming, Shun really thinks that it is not appropriate for Duke Ming to enter the court to congratulate."

"Why?"

Gao Shun didn't mention his revenge against Sun Ce for killing his father, and made a different excuse, replying: "Duke Ming's body is the safety of my army, if Duke Ming enters the court lightly, then if Huang Zu takes the opportunity to attack, I'm afraid of peace. Chun and other places may be lost. Once the counties of Pingchun are lost, our army will have no place to stand. Even as Duke Ming expected, the court knew that Duke Ming's loyalty was known in the court, and the chariots and horses wanted to borrow the unparalleled strength of Duke Ming. For use, but there is no place to stand, then Ming Gong will only be able to look up to others in the future, only to be driven by chariots and horses, and can't show his eyebrows any more. The court will still remain in Pingchun. In this way, the court will only pay more and more attention to Duke Ming. … Duke Ming, if you enter the dynasty, you will only gain some reputation, and if you stay in Pingchun, you will get both the name and the real.”

Lu Bu raised his face, thought for a while, and said, "Zixiang, what Qingzhi said makes some sense!"

However, Lv Bu will never forget the prestige of ruling the government together with Wang Yun in the court.

He hesitated again and again, unable to make a decision, so he said, "Let me think again."

At noon, Lü Bu left Zhang Liao and Gao Shun with his generals for dinner.

Zhang Liao had something in his heart, so he didn't drink too much. After the dinner was over, he came out of Lü Bu's house, led his horse, and wandered aimlessly on the street for a while, thinking of Chen Gong, and thinking, "Why don't I go to Chen Gongtai, See if he can give me an idea?"

When he thought of it, he did it, and Zhang Liao mounted his horse and urged him to go to Chen Gong's house.

Arriving at Chen's house, not long after waiting in the hall, Chen Gong came out to meet him.

The two just greeted each other, and the guests and the host took their seats.

Zhang Liao told Chen Gong that Lu Bu had been appointed as the magistrate of Xinxi because he was a high-ranking official.

Chen Gong sighed deeply.

Zhang Liao asked, "Why do you sigh, sir?"

Chen Gong had been neglected by Lu Bu for a month. After listening to Gao Shun about the plot of Yangzhou, he waited for a long time, but he didn't say anything. I don't know if Gao Shun didn't tell Lu Bu, or Lu Bu wasn't interested in it. Although Chen Gong had expected it to be the latter, he was not reconciled, because he asked to see Lu Bu twice, but Lu Bu never saw him. Chen Gong is now disappointed with Lv Bu.

However, hearing Zhang Liao's words, Chen Gong's disappointment with Lv Bu became more and more, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was already disappointed.

Before Zhang Liao came, it was the same as when Gao Shun had an audience last time. Chen Gong was pouring his own drink in the study. Although he wasn't drunk, he was a little drunk after all. Prompted by his disappointment, he blurted out, "It's only because Shu De was punished by the court. When he was appointed Xinxi Order, he thought that the court was trying to win over him, and he had the idea of ​​entering the court and entering He Zhengdan? The general's knowledge is really inferior to even a woman!"

Zhang Liao acted as if he hadn't heard Chen Gong's extremely negative comment on Lv Bu, and asked, "Does the gentleman also disagree with the general's entry into the dynasty?"

"If the general enters the court now, it's a good comparison, and you will be caught in the net! What kind of person is Xun Zhenzhi? I can no longer understand him! He is a hypocrite! ...Even if Xun Zhenzhi can really let go of the past, UU reading www.uukanshu.com does not pursue Sun Jian for killing the general, the revenge of killing his father is not shared, can Sun Bofu spare the general?"

Zhang Liao asked, "Since that's the case, what do you think is the best thing to do now?"

"I have already given my advice to Zixiang. The best strategy for now is to move to Yangzhou! But until now, the general has not called me to see it. If you want to come to my strategy, the general should not want to adopt it. . . . Wen Yuan, I am helpless now."

Chen Gong raised his eyes to see Zhang Liao, noticed that his face was full of worry and panic, and guessed that he was helping Sun Jian's death because of his advice, but Lv Bu now believed that Xun Zhen would not care about Sun Jian. He was killed by his army, and he felt scared because of the thought of entering the dynasty. Suddenly, he said to Zhang Liao, "Wen Yuan, if what I expected is right, Xun Zhenzhi will use troops in Nanyang sooner or later, and Yuan Shu is definitely not his enemy. At that time, I am afraid that the general will also be in danger. To tell you the truth, I already intend to go east to Yangzhou and join Liu Yao, the prefect of Yangzhou. Wenyuan, Sun Jian died because of the strategy you offered. Nanyang, After Jiang Xia won Xun Zhen, Sun Bofu will definitely not spare you. Jiang Xia, you can't keep him anymore! Why don't you join me and join Liu Yao?"

"East to Yangzhou and vote for Liu Yao?"

Chen Gong said: "Liu Yao's brother, I am the old official; I and Liu Yao are also old acquaintances, you and I go to vote for him, and you will be reused. Liu Yao and his brother are also called 'Erlong'. He has great talents, so the reason why he has been confined to Wujun and Kuaiji so far is because he has no one to help him. Since you and I have already joined, with my strategy and your wisdom and bravery, you can help him to collect the whole prefecture in one fell swoop! Yangzhou has already won it all, advancing to attack Xu and Jing, and retreating is enough to take advantage of the dangers of the Yangtze River and form a foundation for a party. At that time, how can you and I be comparable to today!"
