Chapter 37
After Wang Yun left, Lu Bu and Cao Cao stayed behind. The reason was that they had to discuss military arrangements with these two people. At the same time, Wang Yun wanted to go back as soon as possible to contact the princes in the court and discuss how to make Dong Zhuo feel confident and bold in the court tomorrow.
The leader of the army left Luoyang. This job was very important and not easy, so Wang Yun had no idea and left directly.
Of course, he himself also knew that he was not as important as those two people in the emperor's heart: Cao Cao had been in contact with Liu Xuan for a long time, which he knew, and Lu Bu had just been recruited, even if it was to stabilize Wen Xuan.
Hou, Your Majesty also needs to communicate more with Lu Bu - not to mention that if Lu Bu just dealt with it casually, it would not be impossible to turn around and tell Dong Zhuo. Holding Lu Bu down can also be regarded as buying him time.
Liu Xuan really wanted to get closer to Lu Bu. More importantly, he wanted Lu Bu to understand that he was confident enough to kill Dong Zhuo. Since you, Lu Bu, are on my side, stop thinking half-heartedly.
, just concentrate on doing things for me.
In addition, Lu Bu needs to understand one more thing, that is, the benefits of hanging out with Liu Xuan are definitely not that simple.
At the moment, Liu Xuan is not able to cast various spells on his own, but with Cao Cao by his side, he can prove what he said.
However, it was not easy to talk about this at the beginning, so Liu Xuan still started the conversation by talking to Cao Cao: "Meng De has been in the military camp for a long time these days, and may not know much about the situation in the DPRK. Let's talk about the matter with Meng De first.
Fengxian can also learn about many arrangements from the sidelines."
This way of speaking was naturally the most appropriate. The two of them had no objections and agreed in unison. Then Xun Yu took a map from the side and spread it on the table in front of Liu Xuan. The two saw Liu Xuan
Xuan greeted him and immediately strode forward, stood in front and looked at the map.
This time Liu Xuan will not fool around with the rough map he scribbled out at random. Naturally, he will use the detailed military map collected in the palace. The mountains, rivers, passways and cities on the map are recorded in great detail. If it were laid out completely,
The number of main cases in front of Liu Xuan is simply not enough, but now only part of it has been laid out, so it has no impact.
Lü Bu had been in the army for a long time and could see at a glance that the part Liu Xuan expanded was the northwest counties of the Han Dynasty. Not only was the Guandong area invisible, even Jingzhou and other places were not fully expanded.
"Your Majesty wants to take the northwest first?"
Nowadays, the situation in the world is very clear. There are almost no official orders from the imperial court, and most of the orders can only be circulated in Luoyang City. It is said that the emperor is in charge of the world, but in fact, even Luoyang is not really under control.
If you want to change this situation, there is only one way to get rid of those disobedient guys. If you want to talk about specific methods, there is only one word: fight!
When Lu Bu saw Liu Xuan take out a map of the northwest, he obviously wanted to start from here first.
Sure enough, Xun Yu then explained the general strategy to the two of them, including the fact that Liu Xuan wanted to move the capital to Chang'an, protect himself by clearing the customs, and then boldly attack the northwest counties. Cao Cao did not make any cover-up.
Naturally he knew it and didn't say anything, but Lu Bu glanced at the young emperor in surprise.
"What should I do in Luoyang?"
"Leave it to Dong Xiangguo to take charge." With one sentence, Lu Bu understood what Liu Xuanan was thinking.
Dong Zhuo was in charge of Luoyang, but he was besieged on all sides and had no foundation. Even if Luoyang was handed over to Dong Zhuo, it would probably change hands soon.
Moreover, Dong Zhuo was stationed in Luoyang and could continue to attract the firepower of the Kwantung princes. In history, the Kwantung heroes disbanded and fled to Chang'an with Dong Zhuo. The reason why the Kwantung princes were unwilling to continue the long journey to other people's territory to fight Dong Zhuo.
But if Dong Zhuo is trapped in Luoyang, it will be difficult to say. Maybe this war against Dong can really produce a result?
After talking about it in detail, Lu Bu and Cao Cao asked some more details, and then the two of them pondered for a while. Lu Bu said: "So, your Majesty means to take advantage of Dong Zhuo's troops to garrison Hulao at night.
Are the princes of the DPRK migrating to Chang'an?"
"yes!"
Lu Bu touched his chin: "But the guards of Chang'an and Tongguan are both Dong Zhuo's confidants. How to solve this problem?"
Liu Xuan smiled slightly: "I have to trouble you first about this."
Why Liu Xuan was so persistent in recruiting Lu Bu? In addition to weakening Dong Zhuo's power, adding a strong subordinate to himself, and bringing the Huben army back to his own account, he considered this point.
Lü Bu is Dong Zhuo's adopted son, and this fact is known to the whole world. If Lü Bu is allowed to lead the troops to open and close the door, the other party will definitely not have any suspicion.
However, if Cao Cao, Wang Yun and others are used, it is inevitable that others will notice the abnormality. If it is not done well, oneself and others will be trapped on the road, and will be surrounded and suppressed by the soldiers guarding the gate and Dong Zhuo's pursuers.
Of course, if Liu Xuan led a large group of people to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo would definitely know about it and would definitely lead troops to pursue him. At the same time, he would send people to Tongguan to report the news.
What is tested at this time is the speed of everyone, and at the same time, preparations must be made in advance for the chasing troops.
Cao Cao pointed to the map: "We have to ambush an army on the road and wait for Dong Zhuo's pursuers..." After thinking about it, he said: "You can ambush an army halfway. If Dong Zhuo's pursuers arrive, let them pass and wait for them to join our army."
If we break off the rear troops and engage in battle and then attack from behind, we will definitely defeat the pursuers."
"But before that, we have to let Miao Cai lead dozens of light cavalry to many important roads to prevent Dong Zhuo's messenger from arriving at Tongguan first, so that the general in Guanzhong will be well prepared."
After a few words, everything was arranged in general. Lu Bu listened on the sidelines and felt more and more that he had made the right choice. Presumably after this time, Dong Zhuo would immediately fall into death. Even if he could hold on for a while, he would not be able to last forever.
Stick to it.
What's more, as long as the emperor arrives in Chang'an and directly issues an edict to clarify Dong Zhuo's many crimes, the heroes of the world will not let go of such an opportunity to gain fame, and it may even attract more princes to encircle and suppress him.
Thinking of this, I wondered if there should be some performance? Cao Cao happened to say: "The trouble now is how to open Luoyang City Gate at night? The guards at Luoyang City Gate are all under Dong Zhuo's control...
Maybe we can only count on Mr. Huangfu’s Lieutenant Temple.”
As a lieutenant under Zhijinwu, Huangfu Song had the responsibility of patrolling the capital - in other words, he could walk freely in the capital without attracting attention at night. If he moved more quickly, he could open a city gate.
.
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu was thinking about what he should do. When he heard this, he immediately said: "Li Su, the captain of the city gate, is from Bu's hometown. I can go and tell him to help your majesty."
Li Su?
Liu Xuan really forgot about this person. After hearing Lu Bu's words, he suddenly felt like laughing - Lu Bu voted for Dong Zhuo because Li Su was the lobbyist. Later, Lu Bu and Wang Yun worked together to kill Dong Zhuo and also gave Li Su to Li Su.
Winning over.
After turning around, Li Su still managed to escape and was targeted by Lu Bu again.
After thinking about it, this opportunity seemed like a gift from heaven. I was originally worried about the city gate problem, but I didn't expect Lu Bu to make such a suggestion. If it succeeds, not only can we get out of the city smoothly, but we can also add many soldiers - the city gate guard is also Luoyang after all.
It is one of the regular establishments. Even if the combat power is limited, it is still no problem to escort the guards on both sides. Moreover, having more soldiers is much better than having no one to use them.
Several people looked at each other, and finally Liu Xuan nodded: "In that case, I'll bother you first."
Lu Bu also knew that he had just surrendered and would definitely not be trusted. If this matter was not handled well, it would be a big loss if he didn't tell him in the future. He immediately promised: "I will definitely ask Li Su to come." He said fiercely in his heart.
: "If you don't obey, kill him!"
They discussed for a while, during which Xun Yu didn't say much, but the several suggestions were just right and the key points were mentioned. Cao Cao and Lu Bu couldn't help but take a few more glances, seeing that this man had a good appearance, extraordinary temperament, and was not very old.
, but I don’t know how he was discovered by the emperor and successfully won over.
"Wen Ruonai is from the Xun family in Yingchuan?"
"Exactly!"
Cao Cao didn't say anything, and he didn't know what he was thinking. However, Lu Bu didn't think too much. At most, he thought: "A child from a rich family is indeed somewhat capable."
At this point, there was almost nothing left to talk about, but Liu Xuan still didn't ask everyone to disperse. Finally, he looked at the three people standing next to him and thought to himself: "This will be my foundation for ruling the world in the future.
.”
These three people are both civilized and military, and there is also a man like Cao Cao who is capable of both literature and martial arts. Although it seems a little pitiful that there are only three of them, they are all top talents in the world. If they can truly win over them, many things in the future will not be necessary.
Worry about yourself.
He asked several people to sit down respectively. Liu Xuan took the seat at the head. He cleared his throat first and finally said: "The world is in chaos. Although I am the master of the world, my decree cannot even leave the imperial city. If I want to recreate that situation,
The prosperity of the world depends on the concerted efforts of several people to help me regain control of the world."
"I will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations." Although they didn't know why Liu Xuan said this, the Emperor said so, so ministers should at least reconcile it, right?
Unexpectedly, Liu Xuan then said: "However, such a major event cannot be accomplished in a day. It may take decades and it is unknown. I don't want the world to be unstable and all the princes to die..."
At this point, apart from Cao Cao vaguely guessing something, Xun Yu and Lu Bu both had strange expressions on their faces. They didn't understand why the emperor was so angry that he said such words?
But what Liu Xuan said next surprised them: "I read the books in the palace for a long time before I ascended the throne, and accidentally found some Taoist secrets. After practicing, they are quite effective. In addition to strengthening the body and prolonging life, it can also temper
Strengthen your muscles and bones, improve your physique, train to the extreme to be immune to all evils, and achieve immortality..."
What he said was too mysterious. Even though such wonderful things happened before, Lu Bu and Xun Yu still looked in disbelief. Unexpectedly, Liu Xuan pointed at Cao Cao and said: "Meng De has been practicing for several months. How is the effect? You two can
Ask in detail, if you think you need it, I will never begrudge you a technique."
After they finished speaking, Xun Yu and Lu Bu's eyes suddenly turned to Cao Cao.
