Chapter 293: Signs of failure
The world is unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen next.
The power balance between the princes in various parts of the Eastern Han Dynasty began to shift one by one as time goes by.
The chaotic situation of warlord separatism has formed the entire political territory of the Eastern Han Empire.
Chang'an, General's Mansion.
Lu Bu was wearing a brocade dress and carefully wiped his armor displayed on the bracket, with his actions meticulous and meticulous.
This is a job done by a servant, but he always likes to do it himself.
The only thing he trusts is his own force, unparalleled force in the world. This invincible force on the battlefield cannot find a channel to vent because there is no war, which makes him feel very depressed for a moment.
So wiping the armor was a memory of his own force for him.
At this time, he is always satisfied.
Jia Xu stood quietly behind him and did not speak because he knew that at this time, Lu Bu absolutely did not want to be disturbed.
So he can only wait.
Lu Bu wiped the armor brightly and finally turned around and said, "Wenhe is looking for me, what's the important thing?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "I'm just curious. Is the general satisfied with his current life?"
Lu Bu smiled and said, "Now I am an important official in the court, with a noble and prominent status. Not only do I have no worries about food and clothing, but I also have endless wealth and honor. What are you not satisfied with?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about going further?"
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "What does this mean by sir?"
Jia Xu said lightly: "Prime Minister Dong dominates the court, and his military, politics and government are in his own hands. Although the general is a general, he can only be ordered by him. He is just a common man who is used to charge and fall into battle. Is the general really willing to be Dong Zhuo's hawk for life?"
Lu Bu glared and said, "Are you afraid of death?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "If the general wants to kill me, he dare not resist me. He just hopes that the general will listen to me and then make a decision."
Lu Bu pulled out Fang Tian's painting halberd, pressed against Jia Xu's throat, and said coldly: "Say!"
Jia Xu bowed and said, "General must have known that Dong Zhuo has done many evil deeds and has repeatedly killed important officials in the court. He has also acted as an evil deed to depose the emperor. He will definitely be infamous for thousands of years in the future. If the general goes to the end with him, he will probably be endlessly cursed by future generations. You have the courage of ghosts and gods given by Gods. Isn't it a pity to ruin such a thing?"
Lu Bu said coldly: "Then what do you think I should do?"
Jia Xu paused word by word and said, "Destroy Dong Zhuo, reorganize the dynasty, support the emperor, hold the power of the people, and admire the celebrities for the ages!"
Lu Bu snorted coldly: "Who asked you to get rid of my father and son's relationship?"
Jia Xu smiled and said, "The general's surname is Lu, and Dong Zhuo's surname is Dong. He just regards you as a dog and a horse. How can the relationship between father and son come from?"
Lu Bu shouted: "You are looking for death!"
Jia Xu looked at Lu Bu calmly, smiling and without saying anything.
And the Fangtian Painted Ridge did not pierce after all.
Ji County, Youzhou, the prefect's office.
Liu Yu retreated step by step and said in horror: "You dare to commit crimes, aren't you afraid of the sanctions of the court?"
Gongsun Zan held a sharp blade and said coldly: "I'm going to go now!"
Liu Yu was still trying to speak, but he saw a flash of sword light in front of him, and he had been killed on the spot, with blood staining the ground red. The political territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty changed again, and while one prince was submerged, another prince stood up.
Of course, the newly-standing prince was Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan also put his sword into the sheath and whispered loudly: "From today, I will be the lord of Youzhou!"
The sergeant present immediately raised his weapons and cheered loudly.
Gongsun Fan approached Gongsun Zan and whispered: "Although my brother successfully seized Youzhou, his strength has not yet been consolidated. Yuan Shao has a grudge against us. I am worried that he will take the opportunity to attack, so my brother needs to be prepared early."
Gongsun Zan sneered: "If Yuan Shao dared to come, I would definitely not let him go easily. I helped him get Jizhou in Han Fu's hands, but he actually hurt my compatriots. Gongsun Yue's revenge must be avenged. Now I have won Youzhou, which is a good time to make a fuss. This time I must let him see how powerful Baima Yicong is!"
Gongsun Fan sighed: "But now Yuan Shao has almost all the Hebei region, and what he lacks is Youzhou. He has even more powerful generals and good ministers under him. We should not be underestimated. Although we want to fight with them, we still need to stabilize Youzhou..."
Gongsun Zan waved his hand and said, "This is all for you. Be sure to deal with it before Yuan Shao attacks."
Gongsun Fan said: "In fact, we can still use the strategy of delaying the army. Let's discuss peace with Yuan Shao for the time being. It will not be too late to turn against each other after saving strength..."
Gongsun Zan snorted coldly: "How can I be willing to discuss peace with him when Yuan Shao killed my cousin?"
Gongsun Fan wanted to persuade him again, and saw a messenger rushing into the hall, panting and exhausted, bowing and kneeling halfway and saying, "Lord, something big is not good!"
Gongsun Zan said: "What's the matter?"
The messenger gasped for a moment and hurriedly said, "Yuan Shao has raised 200,000 heavy troops, sent Zhang He as the commander, Wen Chou and Yan Liang as the vanguard, and Luo Qi Ju Su as the military advisor, come to conquer us!"
Gongsun Zan said in surprise: "Why did the Yuan thief come so quickly?"
Gongsun Fan hurriedly said, "Brother, what should we do now?"
Gongsun Zan gritted his teeth and said, "What else can I do? I can only fight to the death with Yuan Thief!"
In Hebei, official road.
Huang Yueying rode his horse and sighed: "I just dealt with the Black Mountain bandits, and then the Yellow Turban Party. Now I am fighting against Gongsun Zan non-stop. Can we still be more busy?"
Roqi smiled and said, "Don't you think this is interesting?"
Huang Yueying shook her head and said, "It seems that you are the only one who enjoys it. We are all tired of this busy life of fighting and fighting. Although your plan cannot be delayed, you still need to pay attention to the details of life. Don't you think you are dedicated to establishing prestige in Hebei and have neglected the people around you?"
Roqi said lightly: "As soon as this matter is finished, I will rest for a while."
Huang Yueying nodded in praise, and then remembered the last conversation with Zhen Mi.
It was in the backyard of Guo’s mansion, the corner of the corridor.
Huang Yueying hugged her shoulders and said, "How is your beauty plan... going forward?"
Zhen Mi smiled and said, "Although it didn't go well, I know he does have weaknesses."
Huang Yueying's eyes lit up and she said, "Really?"
Zhen Mi nodded and said, "When he hugged me, I could feel a kind of flame hidden in his eyes, a kind of flame that wanted to swallow me all over, although he finally managed to restrain this desire..."
Huang Yueying frowned and said, "I asked you to use the beauty trick, but you still need to grasp the standards."
Zhen Mi raised her eyebrows and said, "What are you worried about?"
Huang Yueying sighed: "I'm afraid you will play with fire and burn yourself, so you're really swallowed by Roche."
Zhen Mi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know the right way."
Huang Yueying looked at Zhen Mi and said seriously: "You are my best friend and my only friend. I don't want you to suffer a loss, even if it's just a little bit."
Zhen Mi lowered her head and said nothing.
Huang Yueying looked at her, then sighed deeply.
