I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 404 The key thing is in your own hands
The relationship between people is actually like this. No matter how good the relationship is, it also needs to maintain proper communication and exchange.

No matter how much sincerity and hypocrisy are contained in this communication, even if all communication is a lie, it is much better than no communication.

Just like the relationship between Lu Zhi and Liu Jian, the distance between their master and apprentice is still relatively far. Facing the increasingly powerful Liu Jian, Lu Zhi is always worried that his student will make a mistake, so he always has a relationship in his heart. All filled with uneasiness.

However, when Sun Qian stood in front of Lu Zhi and conveyed Liu Jian's heart-to-heart remarks to Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi's heart suddenly settled down.

In fact, the promise made by Sun Qian on behalf of Liu Jian must be Liu Jian's truth?
not really.

What Sun Qian said was watery.

In the human world, as a monarch, if he wants to win the world, the monarch as the leader must be upright and upright, with the majesty and majesty of a king, so that he can be united and win the all-out loyalty of his soldiers, soldiers and people.

However, as a king, it is impossible not to avoid conspiracy and tricks, and it is impossible not to involve some dark sides. It is impossible to stand at the pinnacle of human society by relying entirely on his righteousness.

Both positive and poisonous, eight points of righteousness, two points of cunning, this is the real hero.

This is the only way to survive in this cruel world.

There is neither complete light nor complete darkness in this world.

Would Lu Zhi not understand this?He has lived a very old age, so he naturally understands.

However, as long as Liu Jian is willing to be frank with him, even if this frankness is only superficial, it can also make Lu Zhi feel at ease.

This is not to say that Liu Jian is worthy of Lu Zhi's trust, but that Lu Zhi is willing to trust Liu Jian.

Later, Lu Zhi asked Sun Qian to return to Liu Jian's camp. He told Liu Jian that the objection of Luoyang Tai students' opposition to the imperial examination had been resolved. He hoped that Liu Jian would not continue to divide the Tai students and remove all those who spread rumors. He will go to Luoyang in person to completely quell the Taisheng incident and let Luoyang settle down. He hopes that Liu Jian will not cause trouble for himself.

Sun Qian naturally agreed. After all, before he came, he had already received Liu Jian's instruction to use the Luoyang incident as a gimmick to make Lu Zhi feel at ease.

After this rebellion of the Tai students, Liu Jian dared to conclude that even if the Tai students no longer continued to fight among themselves, the rift between them could no longer be repaired, and the group of Tai students was completely split into several camps divided by regions .

Will these camps disappear with Lu Zhi's appeasement?

Liu Jian asserted, no!And never will!

Therefore, he does not sell this favor for nothing.

Of course, even if they are masters and apprentices, some favors cannot be given in vain. The key to Liu Jian's arrangement for Sun Qian to agree to Lu Zhi so easily is that he hopes that Lu Zhi can help him in another matter.

After talking about the affairs of Tai students, Sun Qian immediately made Liu Jian's appeal to Lu Zhi.

"Lu Gong, now General Zuo is leading [-] elite soldiers, starting from Yecheng, heading west along the Yellow River, and has reached the east of Hanoi. As long as you pass Hanoi, you can reach Luoyang, but now in Hanoi, there are Wang Fujun and Zhu Cheqi and the two lead troops to station together, and the army is passing through the border, I am afraid that Zhu Cheqi and Wang Fujun may not give them the convenience."

Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes, looked at Sun Gan up and down for a while, saw that he had no abnormal expression, and then asked: "De Ran led his troops and wants to come to Luoyang? The matter of the Supreme Student has been resolved, why is he still coming to Luoyang?" ?”

Sun Gan smiled and said: "Why should Lu Gong deceive himself?"

"The rebellion in Sizhou is now caused by Tai students, but fundamentally speaking, there must be forces behind it that were able to instigate Tai students to target the imperial examinations on such a large scale. Now Lu Bu, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and others are in Yingzhou. Duke Lu is a wise man fighting for supremacy on the border of Sichuan, so he can naturally see through this battle who is behind the conspiracy of the Tai students."

Lu Zhi laughed and said, "You almost nodded your nose and said that Yuan Benchu ​​did this."

Sun Qian's expression was very calm: "Qanke didn't say that. There are some things that Lu Gong and a certain person can see through, but they can."

Lu Zhi said: "Continue."

"According to the current situation, the riots caused by the Tai students have already been completed. Yuan Shao sent troops to Sizhou to fix the scourge of the scholars. It can be said that he has a reputation. From Lu Gong's point of view, the rebellion caused by the Tai students is over. Then Yuan Shao may easily Withdraw your troops?"

Lu Zhi didn't speak, but he was very clear about Yuan Shao's real purpose in coming to Sizhou this time.

withdraw troops?

How can it be?

They came here just for the territory!

Seeing that Lu Zhi was silent, Sun Gan didn't care anymore, and continued, "Yuan Shao won't withdraw his troops. According to Lu Gong, can Lu Bu or Niu Fu have the ability to repel Yuan Shao?"

Lu Zhi could answer this question almost without thinking.

Yes, Lu Bu and Niu Fu did have a lot of elite cavalry under their command, and the soldiers of Bingzhou Army and Liangzhou Army were also extremely powerful, but this did not mean that Xiliang Army and Bingzhou Army were invincible.

According to Lu Zhi's information, Yuan Shao now has many elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command. Although the individual combat capabilities are not as good as Lu and Niu's elites, they are superior to them in terms of military strength and overall strength.

According to objective judgment, Lu Zhijue's Lu Bu will not easily lose to Yuan Shao, but it may be very difficult to count on him to beat Yuan Shao.

"Deran wants to drive Yuan Shao to Sizhou?"

Sun Qian respectfully said: "Returning to Lu Gong, looking around the world, who can drive Yuan Shao and Cao Cao to Sizhou, besides General Zuo, who else?"

"It's just that General Zuo is a benevolent man in the world. Now that he is in Hanoi, he doesn't want to cause trouble with Wang Fujun and Zhu Cheqi. The general just wants to enter Sizhou, expel Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and then withdraw his troops and return to Hebei."

"In this case, I hope that Lu Gong can help, and personally write a letter to Zhu Cheqi, and ask him to look at the face of his former colleagues and borrow the way to Mr. Liu."

Lu Zhi seriously speculated for a while...

He thought about it, and felt that with Yuan Shao's current situation, if he wanted to drive him out of Sizhou, it seemed that Liu Jian really had to do it, and it was impossible for others to have this ability.

As for Zhu Jun, although he belongs to Dong Zhuo's hostile forces, he has a sympathetic relationship with Lu Zhi...or maybe they are more compatible.

Although Zhu Jun was a famous general, he came from a poor family. In the former court regime, he was excluded by the mainstream of the court, at least he was not allowed to enter the most elegant hall of the highest class.

It's just that he has made great achievements and is famous all over the world, so his military prestige is still there.

Although Lu Zhi is not like Zhu Jun, he is a hostile force with Dong Zhuo, but he and Zhu Jun are currently in a state of mutual discord geographically.

Moreover, both of them were famous court generals in Liu Hong's period, and they admired each other.

If there is a letter from Lu Zhi, it would be very appropriate to ask Zhu Jun to borrow Liu Jian's words.

After all, Wang Kuang is a vassal force belonging to Yuan Shao. From his perspective and standpoint, he hopes that Yuan Shao can enter Sizhou.

After Lu Zhi thought about it for a long time, he immediately said to Sun Gan: "This old man will help you, but you need to tell Deran that he is in Sizhou just to get rid of Yuan Shao's soldiers, and you must not have any intention of getting involved in this place."

Sun Qian laughed and said: "General Zuo is dedicated to the country, and he will never act like this. Please rest assured, Lu Gong!"

"Okay, the old man will write a letter to Zhu Jun for him."

……

After Sun Qian bid farewell to Lu Zhi, Xingye returned to Liu Jian's camp and informed Liu Jian of his plan with Lu Zhi.

When Sun Gan stated the matter to Liu Jian again, Jia Xu was always by Liu Jian's side.

In addition, Liu Bei, who supervised the rear army for Liu Jian, has also arrived here.

After Sun Gan finished speaking, he was about to retreat wisely, but saw Liu Jian stretching out his hand to stop him.

"Gongyou is my father-in-law's disciple. He is from my own family. You don't have to leave. Stay here and we can discuss together."

Although it was just a simple sentence, it also moved Sun Qian's heart very much.

Some people are able to bring warmth to those under them through inadvertent actions.

Afterwards, Sun Qian sat beside him.

Liu Jian looked at the three people present and asked: "My master wrote to Zhu Jun, hoping that he and Wang Kuang would make way for us in Hanoi so that we could enter Luoyang. From your point of view, is this possible? ?”

Liu Bei spoke first.

"Wang Kuang is a member of Yuan Shao. In the past, he responded to Yuan Shao's containment of Dong Zhuo in Hanoi. The Taishan people under his command are the famous elite of our Han. Now they guard Hanoi together with Zhu Jun. They can be regarded as an important force in the northern part of the Han."

Sun Qiandao: "The 160 counties in Hanoi have a population of more than [-] million, and the population is quite large. The key here is to guard the north and south banks and the main road to the west of our Hebei. In the future, if Wang Kuang doesn't borrow the way, how can we enter Luo?"

Liu Bei said another sentence: "Even if you wait with me on the excuse, but after I waited to cross the border, he sent troops to seal the road for us to cross the border, so what should we do? Wouldn't this [-] army just sit and wait for death?"

Liu Jian nodded: "I understand what everyone means."
