I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 393
In fact, Lu Bu was not ignorant of Lu Zhi's prestige in the court and his reputation among scholars.

Although Lu Bu is a native of Bianjun, he is not a pure fool. He also knows what is most needed to achieve success.

But for Lu Bu, there are some things that he can't have, no matter how hard he tries, they are out of reach.

After following Dong Zhuo for so many years, Lu Bu has seen it clearly...Dong Zhuo entered the capital from the very beginning, and showed his favor to the nobles, nobles and scholars all over the world. .

In the end, the two sides tore their skins apart, you fucked me and I fucked you, and the situation has reached the current endless situation.

Dong Zhuo still couldn't win the favor of the gentry, and Lu Bu didn't think he could be any better than Dong Zhuo.

After thinking about it, Lu Bu felt that if a martial artist like himself wanted to become famous and achieve something, he could only follow the path that Dong Zhuo had walked.

Being too polite with the gentry group, with a hot face next to a cold ass, not only will you not get any benefits, but will eventually be used by the other party's schemes, and I am afraid that you will not even get a happy ending.

After staying in the capital for so many years, Lu Bu has seen more things, his mind has become more active, and his ambition has grown...

He didn't want to spend his life doing nothing as a warrior from the border county.

He wants his descendants to also be able to enter the palace, achieve achievements, and become figures admired and praised by later generations.

Lu Bu's desire to change his destiny is extremely urgent now.

The matter of the imperial examination also seemed to let Lu Bu see that the world's hope of being promoted to an official career was shattered.

Yes, Lu Bu also saw hope from this!
Although the hope of his descendants wanting to study and become an official career is still slim, but the advent of the imperial examinations made Lu Bu see that the promotion channels in this world have begun to gradually relax!
Before the imperial examinations came out, a person whose family background did not meet the requirements would not be able to be an official!

The difference between people is even greater than the difference between people and pigs!

But with the advent of the imperial examination, everything seems to be different!

Lu Bu saw hope. Although these things had little to do with the warriors in the border counties at present, the high walls standing on the passage to become officials were being dug bit by bit.

Once the imperial examinations are popularized and recognized, who can guarantee that the imperial court will not have a new attitude towards the military men in border counties in a few years?

Lu Bu was very happy!
This time, assisting Dong Zhuo to implement the imperial examination system in Sizhou is one of the credits.

Second, if the imperial examination can really be implemented, then for a person of Lu Bu's background, it is tantamount to seeing hope.

It's just that I didn't expect these sour scholars to be so irritating!

These damn students, for their own selfish desires, actually assembled to make trouble!

Don't implement the great imperial examination system, but instead clamor for the restoration of the old system, isn't this a disturbance?
Tolerable or unbearable!
There is also this Lu Zhi, who said to himself in a jerk, after all, he still wears a pair of pants with those Tai students!
This one is not allowed to fight, that one is not allowed to be killed...

If you don't fight or kill, how can it play a deterrent role?Do you still have to drink with them?
This Lu Zhi is really in the way!

It's better to imprison him temporarily, and release him after Luo Yang's affairs are settled.

……

After Lu Zhi was escorted by Wei Yue, he was placed under house arrest in the post house in Xingyang.

The other three prefects and Niu Fu interceded for Lu Zhi.

"Fengxian, some things should not be overdone. Lu Zhi's reputation is extremely high. The land of Sizhou is where the rich and famous gather. The emperor moved his capital to Chang'an in the past and specially handed Luoyang over to Lu Zhi. Lu Zigan is popular in the country, and the local nobles in Luoyang are concerned about his reputation and dare not make too much of a fuss. Now that you have captured Lu Zhi, I am afraid it will cause trouble."

Today, Niu Fu was also sober for a rare time, and persuaded Lu Bu from the sidelines.

But Lu Bu said: "I never abused him, I just let him live in Xingyang temporarily so that he doesn't get in the way. Later, Fang Bo Niu entertained Lu Zigan with delicious food and let him rest for a while. What's the matter? Could it be that Mr. Lu entertained him in such a good manner and made a mistake in entertaining him?"

At this moment, Linghu Shao, the prefect of Hongnong, stood up.

Among all the prefects and governors of Sizhou, including the main officials such as Juncheng, Dong Zhuo basically appointed his direct relatives in Liangzhou, only Linghu Shao, the prefect of Hongnong, was from Taiyuan of Bingzhou.

Logically speaking, this person is also a fellow of Lu Bu Tongzhou.

However, Linghu Shao's background was quite different from Lu Bu's. Linghu Shao was from a famous family in Taiyuan, and his father was a captain of Karasuma, who was also a member of the Gate of Two Thousand Stones. The development of his family was quite similar to Huangfusong's.

It's just that the reputation of the Linghu family is far worse than that of the Huangfu family.

But even so, under normal circumstances, Linghu Shao was not comparable to someone of Lu Bu's class.

However, today is not what it used to be. The current situation in the court is that Dong Zhuo's confidant group of warriors is very powerful. After high-ranking generals like the Huangfu family and Linghu family in the past, they are not popular in the court now.

But Linghu Shao is somewhat clever.

He thought to himself that his family was not a school of Confucian classics, but relied on the meritorious deeds of his ancestors to reach his current position. If it takes too long, the promotion of the next generation will be hindered...

Therefore, with no alternative, Linghu Shao decided to join Dong Zhuo temporarily.

Of course, it's only temporary.

But this is a good sign for Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was excited to be able to get the surrender of the Taiyuan Linghu clan.

In order to show his inclusive mind, Dong Zhuo promoted Linghu Shao to be the prefect of Hongnong.

He also wanted to tell the world in this way that as long as he was willing to surrender to Dong Zhuo, he would have a bright future!
As a person of Bingzhou Haoyou level, Linghu Shao's knowledge is definitely beyond that of Niu Fu and the others. At this moment, he thought of a more important question.

"Lieutenant Lu, you let Lu Zigan stay in Xingyang. Although you treat him with good food and drink, you are afraid that someone with a heart will make a fuss about it... After all, no one else has seen how you treat Lu Zigan. If those Among the Tai students, if someone with a heart deliberately spread rumors, saying that you imprisoned the prefect of Luoyang, disrespected the court's laws, and incited the local people in Luoyang, then this matter will be difficult."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows and said, "How about it?"

Linghu Shao said: "In my opinion, it is better to let Lu Zhi go back to Luoyang, so as not to cause some unnecessary misunderstandings."

"Besides, Lu Zhi is also a knowledgeable person. Even if Captain Lu asks him to return to Luoyang, he will not delay the affairs of Captain Lu... After all, he is also an old minister left by the late emperor. Please think twice."

Linghu Shao's words can be said to be mature and prudent, but Lu Bu still refused to listen.

However, Lu Bu admitted that the Tai students would use this matter to make a fuss.

Those rotten scholars!What can't they do?

After pondering for a while, Lu Bu immediately ordered his sergeants to spread the word, saying that Lu Zhi had caught a cold in Xingyang and became seriously ill. He could not return to Luoyang in a short time and needed to recuperate in Xingyang.

From Lu Bu's point of view, this excuse is flawless and will not allow anyone to find any flaws.

But in fact, he thought things a little too simply.

……

……

At present, in terms of Jingzhou and Yuzhou, since Cao Cao succeeded Yuan Shu and occupied Jianghuai, he used Zaozhi's strategy of farming in Yuzhou and Jianghuai.

At the same time, he selected elites from the Black Mountain Army and the Yuzhou Yellow Turban to form the Yuzhou Army, which he used as the foundation of his army.

Compared with the ruins of the Central Plains, the South is relatively stable and prosperous because it has not been too persecuted by the Yellow Turban Army. Especially in recent years, the wars in the North have been too frequent. , leading to the southward travel of clothing, so that the south bank of the Yangtze River began to gradually develop.

Cao Cao also took advantage of this opportunity to prepare to
He led his troops across the river and occupied the counties in Jiangdong in the name of the governor. At the same time, he used Yuan Shao's name to recruit many heroes in Jiangdong for his own use, and his power gradually expanded.

The current Jiangdong is an untapped treasure, allowing Cao Cao to fight here.

After all, in terms of politics, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are completely different.

Historically, the Jianghuai River, which was deprived of life by Yuan Shu, is now thriving under the management of Cao Cao.

But at this time, Yuan Shao suddenly approached Cao Cao and told him that he wanted to go to Sizhou, take advantage of Tai students to make trouble, and seize Sizhou for his own use, hoping that Cao Cao could help.

Regarding this matter, Cao Cao felt a bit of a headache.

Now Cao Cao's main attention is still on Jiangnan.

Now he has occupied Jianghuai, and at the same time assisted Yuan Shao to occupy half of Yuzhou...

Cao Cao's next step is to personally cross the river to accept Wujun, Kuaiji, Yuzhang and other places as the rear.

After completely rejecting the southeast, use the Yangtze River natural moat as a barrier to watch the success or failure of the world situation.

He didn't want to get involved in the battle in Sizhou at this time.

But Yuan Shao is his old benefactor, if he doesn't help Yuan Shao at this moment, Cao Cao doesn't know what will happen next...

However, Cao Cao's subordinates are not without capable people. After he arrived in Jianghuai, he also recruited a very strong wise man and took him as his confidant.

At critical moments, Cao Cao discussed world affairs with this person.

This man is very young, and he is the son of an official of the Zhou family in Lujiang, named Zhou Yu.
