Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 673 It's time to prepare
Inside Chang'an City, Zhang Liao couldn't help frowning as he looked at the scattered pedestrians on the street. Is this Chang'an?Is this still the capital of the Han Dynasty?

Since the capital was moved, a large number of people have poured into Chang'an, bringing Chang'an a short-lived prosperity, like a silk cloth that has been burned by flames, and now only ashes are left after the brilliance.

The supplies on the market were scarce, and many people had to start migrating outside Chang'an City, or even further away, and the conditions that Dong Zhuo had promised to relocate the people were all zero because of Dong Zhuo's death.

The current Chang'an is like an internet celebrity who has suddenly encountered a downpour and has nowhere to hide. The sparse eyebrows, freckles on the sallow complexion, and the dark bags under the eyes that were originally covered are all exposed...

Zhang Liao walked across the streets silently, and then got off his horse before arriving at a large courtyard. The soldiers of Lu Bu who were on duty at the gate naturally recognized Zhang Liao, and hurried forward to lead the horse.

"General, Marquis Wen has ordered that if the general comes, there is no need to report. Marquis Wen is in the courtyard." Lu Bu's personal soldier said.

Zhang Liao nodded. He had just entered the compound when he heard Lu Bu slapping the table in the courtyard and singing Bingzhou ditties with his neck stretched, singing very vigorously.

"Hahahaha, Wen Yuan is here! Come here, drink this bowl first!" Although Lu Bu said that he wanted Zhang Liao to drink a bowl, he actually lifted the bowl and poured it into his own mouth inside.

"Boping is in the barracks again?" Zhang Liao asked after looking around but not seeing Gao Shun.

Lu Bu nodded.

Regarding Gao Shun, Lu Bu was sometimes very speechless, and when he was asked to come for a drink, it was mostly an excuse that he couldn't come because he had something to do. Maybe it was not an excuse, but in Gao Shun's eyes, things in the barracks were more important than drinking with Lu Bu.

Zhang Liao was also silent, and he couldn't say anything about this matter.

Now the prices in Chang'an City are booming. Although Lu Bu is a warm man, there are still a lot less dishes on the wine table. However, for drinkers, the food is not important, the important thing is the wine, as long as there is wine on the table That's fine, as for the dishes, that's a secondary thing...

Lu Bu poured out the wine bowl when it was empty, emptied it again, poured it again when it was empty, and soon the jar of wine was finished.Lu Bu patted the table again to ask the attendant to deliver the wine, but the attendant replied tremblingly that the wine was gone.

Lu Bu was furious, and shouted, "I won't buy the wine when it's gone!"

"Report Wen...Wen Hou..." The waiter turned pale with fright, and quickly knelt down to make amends, unable to speak, "Money...money is not enough..."

Lu Bu jumped up violently, and threw the empty wine bowl directly on the waiter, "Why is there not enough money? Isn't it not long since I paid my salary?! Are you greedy for some money?!"

"Wen Hou calm down!" Zhang Liao glanced at the empty wine jars on the side of the table in the yard, and there were seven or eight empty wine jars, so he grabbed Lu Bu and asked the waiter, "How much is a jar of wine in the market now?"

The waiter repeatedly kowtowed and said, "General, the current market price of wine is [-] yuan per jug! It's not...it's not a petty greed, it's really...the price of wine is too expensive...Please wait, General Mingjian..."

"Fifteen thousand dollars?!" Lu Bu was also taken aback.

"Wen Hou, may I ask how much salary you received a few days ago?" Zhang Liao asked Lu Bu again.

"One hundred thousand dollars," Lu Bu said.

Zhang Liao calculated silently, then pointed to the seven or eight new wine jars in the yard and said, "Wen Hou, these are more than one hundred thousand yuan..."

"This..." Lu Bu looked at the wine jar in the courtyard, and then at the wine splashed on the table because of pouring wine, as if he was calculating in his mind how much the wine splashed on the table was worth. money……

"Wen Hou, do you have tea at home? How about removing the wine table and cooking tea?" Zhang Liao said upon seeing this.

Lu Bu sat down, then nodded dejectedly, and waved to the attendant.

"Today..." Lu Bu shook his head and sighed.

When I was in Bingzhou, although I was poor, I was happy. Although I didn't have much wine and meat, I didn't seem to have any troubles.

When I arrived in Luoyang, I had money, wine and meat, but there were more and more worries, which made my heart flustered.

Now in Chang'an, the richer is the richer, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of money is handled at every turn, but it seems to be poorer, there is no more wine and meat, and there are more troubles...

Zhang Liao waited for the attendant to finish their work, and then lowered his voice slightly and asked, "Wen Hou, could it be that Situ rejected him again?"

Zhang Liao said "again" because Lu Bu's suggestion was rejected by Wang Yun Wang Situ not once or twice, and this incident sometimes made Zhang Liao feel a little unbelievable.

Lu Bu nodded silently.

Counting this time, Wang Yun has rejected him three times.

The first time Lv Bu spoke to Wang Yun was when Dong Zhuo had just been killed. Lv Bu suggested distributing the gold and silver treasures in Dong Zhuo's house to a general in the army, so as to buy people's hearts and stabilize the hearts of the ruling and opposition forces.

Wang Yun seriously refused, saying that Dong Zhuo's money is the fat of the people, and must be taken back from the treasury to be used by the people. How could he grant it in private, not to mention that as an important minister of the country, he naturally had to share the worries of the court, and he didn't care about generals who were bought with money...

Lu Bu's face turned dark at that time, and he left without saying a word.

The second time I persuaded Wang Yun was after a period of time. At that time, the Xiliang army was leaderless, disorganized, and panicked. Even when Niu Fu ordered the massacre of Bingzhou soldiers, the morale of the Xiliang army was very unstable. At that time, Lu Bu suggested that Wang Yun issue an edict to pardon the generals of the Xiliang army, and then order them to report to Chang'an, divide the Xiliang soldiers, and accept their soldiers, so that the Xiliang army can attack each other without any threat.

Wang Yun seriously refused, saying that these Xiliang generals had been pardoned once before, and the court had given them a chance, and it was impossible to allow people who made mistakes again and again. These Xiliang soldiers lost their leaders and had no money and food supplies. , can't make much waves, not to mention that the Shandong Army is just around the corner. Under the order of the imperial court to let it attack westward, the Xiliang Army will definitely collapse, so it is not a concern.

Lu Bu touched his nose, fell silent, and left.

Two days ago, Lu Bu found Wang Yun again.

The Shandong army, who originally thought they would cooperate with the imperial court's actions, was unusually silent; then the members of the Yang family either talked about the price issue in Chang'an every day, or the issue that Dong Zhuo could return to Luoyang after his death; Connecting each other day by day, gradually gathering together...

Lu Bu suggested to Wang Yun that he should mobilize [-] soldiers from the Chang'an imperial court, led by Lu Bu, and then attack one or two Xiliang armies closest to Chang'an with thunderous force, so as to frighten Wang Yun and make him dare not act rashly.

Then Wang Yun refused again very seriously.Wang Yun believed that the Xiliang army was too difficult to become a powerful weapon, and it was not enough to go to war. What's more, there was a shortage of supplies in Chang'an, and there was not much food and grass to support the army's actions.

Zhang Liao was also silent when he heard Lu Bu's words. ,

Although it was Lu Bu who spoke, it was also Zhang Liao who came up with ideas and made plans, but now, even Zhang Liao is very helpless...

Zhang Liao said: "Wen Hou, if things go on like this, there will be problems sooner or later..." Dong Zhuo has been dead for a long time, but there seems to be no unified thought and power among the ruling and opposition parties. Wang Yun seems to have exhausted everything when he assassinated Dong Zhuo Zhang Liao is very worried about his action and courage, and now he is almost looking ahead and moving slowly, and he has not listened to Lu Bu's suggestion.

"Prepare?" Lu Bu murmured and repeated, "It's time to prepare, but how to prepare..."

　Sudden drop in temperature, cold...

　　headache, stuffy nose...
