The Three Kingdoms: If you don't have money to buy an official position, you can only be the em

Chapter 42 Yuan Shao’s invitation target: Zhao Yun!
The world seemed to have some kind of corrective force. After Jiang Cheng devoted himself to development and ignored worldly affairs, everything returned to the starting point: the Rebellion of the Ten Attendants still occurred, and He Jin still ordered Dong Zhuo to lead his troops into the capital. However, before the other party arrived in the capital, he was killed by the Ten Attendants' men.

Dong Zhuo killed the Ten Attendants, occupied the capital, and still subdued Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.

If there is any difference in details, it is that Lu Bu did not kill his adoptive father Ding Yuan, because Ding Yuan died too early and there was no way he could be killed a second time.

Liu, Guan and Zhang still did not come forward.

Cao Cao still chose to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and after his failure he returned home to raise an army. Yuan Shao still issued a manifesto to fight against the enemy and formed a coalition of princes.

It seems that everything is full of coincidences, but in fact, it is inevitable under the corrupt Han court.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao would not accept Dong Zhuo's control of the capital, and would definitely try to overthrow him and replace him. Before Lu Bu met Dong Zhuo, he would not have been reused because he had no backing.

There was no place for Liu, Guan and Zhang on the big ship of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they would certainly have no chance to come forward.

It's unreasonable, but this is reality.

When incompetent and mediocre people occupy high positions and hold on to resources, unless you rebel, you will never be able to make a breakthrough relying on your own abilities.

"This is Yuan Shao's invitation letter, inviting you to participate in the crusade!" Chen Gong said as he handed over an invitation.

Jiang Cheng didn't even look at it because it didn't make any sense.

It is easy to guess that Liu Hong compromised for the sake of the world and acknowledged Jiang Cheng's status as "Shennong". He also acquiesced to the situation of the Han Dynasty having two monarchs, one bright and one dark.

But now, the emperor's power has fallen into the hands of others, and some people are starting to have some ideas.

Then Jiang Cheng, whose duty according to the law was to support the new master, became the princes' righteous move to purge the emperor's side - even though Yuan Shao actually did not believe that Jiang Cheng had no intention of the throne, he only thought that Jiang Cheng was temporarily lacking in strength and had been lying dormant until now.

It's also true.

But the people of the world don’t know that many people now recognize Jiang Cheng’s identity.

In terms of justice, he also stands firm!

"Gongtai, do you think you should go or not?" Jiang Cheng asked with a smile.

After hearing this, Chen Gong thought for a while and finally said, "If there is no reason to go, I think it is better not to get involved. Because if the lord goes, the princes will win, and when they defeat Dong Zhuo, a more powerful Dong Zhuo will appear. But if the lord does not go, they will both lose, Dong Zhuo will be defeated, and it will be impossible to succeed in clearing the court of evil officials!"

As expected of a top strategist, he had predicted the outcome of the princes' campaign against Dong Zhuo in advance.

Although the details could not be guessed, it was known that the princes could not get rid of Dong Zhuo.

"What if there is a reason why you must go?"

"We should find a way to let Yuan Shu take control of the capital!" Chen Gong said, "The Yuan family has three dukes in four generations, and they have the deepest foundation, the most money, food, and soldiers. But Yuan Shu is ambitious but incompetent, and he will be impatient to force the emperor to abdicate. When the time comes, the princes will be afraid and will attack him in groups, and the world will be without a master!"

Yuan Shao must not be allowed to succeed, otherwise he will be swept away by the general trend and may very likely control the government like Dong Zhuo did.

Maintain the operation of the court.

Cao Cao was not the only one who wanted to use the emperor to control the princes.

No matter who it is, even Gongsun Zan and Sun Jian who were quickly defeated, and Liu Biao and Liu Nai who were idle until their death, they will quickly gain power once they enter the capital.

There will be too many people who are loyal to the Han Dynasty gathering there.

Dimension Yuan Shu is an exception.

"Yuan Gonglu! He sang the same tune with Liu Hong and almost made me a eunuch." Jiang Cheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then let's go over and flatter him this time, so that he can fulfill his unrealistic dream of becoming the emperor!"

Chen Gong was puzzled by this.

"My Lord, what is the reason why you must go?"

Even if a solution was given, Chen Gong believed that ignoring Yuan Shao was the best strategy. As for praising and killing Yuan Shu, it was just a remedy after the situation got out of control. Although it could cause unrest in the court, it was of no benefit to Jiang Ben himself.

"Poach people!" Jiang Cheng said bluntly.

The princes were fighting against Dong, why did he insist on going?
Watching the fun is part of it.

But he is now a local warlord. It is impossible for him to enter the game just for fun and influence the world situation, allowing a powerful warlord who should not have appeared to rise.

The real reason to go is to poach people.

Zhao Yun, who was still a senior soldier at that time, as far as he knew, went with the army to the meeting place.

Just because of his poor background and the lack of opportunities like Guan Yu who “killed Hua Xiong with warm wine”, he has never been able to make a name for himself!
In addition, once the coalition forces defeated Dong Zhuo, the generals and advisers under Dong Zhuo would be vacant - apart from others, Li Ru, who dared to offer a cup of poisoned wine to the Han emperor, and Jia Xu, were both top-notch poisoners of this era.

A master at doing dirty and hard work. How can I not plan?
You know, no matter how Jiang Cheng's popular education is, it is impossible to cultivate top talents in a short period of time. And the Yellow Turban system makes Jiang Cheng isolated from the aristocratic families.

Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Zhou Yu and other proud sons of aristocratic families would fight him to the death.

There is absolutely no possibility of seeking refuge.

If you want talents, you can only focus on some notorious people who are already standing on the opposite side of the aristocratic families. Li Ru and Jia Xu are just the right ones.

No one dared to shelter the person who poisoned the Han emperor.

Jia Xu helped Dong Zhuo control the government, and his reputation became ruined. No one from aristocratic families wanted him!

"So that's it!" Chen Gong heard this and immediately said, "The more the better, the more the better!"

During this period, he was really exhausted. He had to take charge of the construction of the Taihang Mountain base camp, and the governance of Handan City, Julu and Xingtai. He had no one available under his command, and he didn't even have time to review the books of sages.

The daughter-in-law gets up early and goes to bed late every day, and her resentment reaches the sky.

But no way.

The Yellow Turbans are short of men.

Conquering the world does not mean that you just need a few awesome people. The world is huge, and you need the support of many capable and independent people in order to expand outward.

If Jiang Cheng had other reasons, Chen Gong would definitely persuade him.

Because it is most beneficial to sit back and watch the dogs fight each other.

But if he wanted to poach people, he wished Jiang Cheng would set off now, go directly to the Great Sage Master, and ride on the new "God's chariot" to go there.

"How many soldiers should we take with us?" Dian Wei asked.

He was a general, not a commander, so he did not station troops outside, but always followed Jiang Cheng.

We will only recruit troops when necessary.

"No need to bring them, just the two of us can go!" Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "E Lai alone is better than a hundred thousand soldiers. I am also recognized as the 'Great Heavenly Master Shennong' with great magical powers. I can more than protect myself!"

He had no intention of leading troops.

There will be casualties when troops are sent out.

How can it be justified to fight for others and lose your own people?

Anyway, the princes are asking him for help, and it is impossible for them to harm him for his "righteousness" at this time, so what is there to be afraid of?
As long as there is no large-scale encirclement and suppression by the army, Jiang Cheng has too many ways to protect himself.

"Of course, to prevent any accidents, we still have to borrow a 'car' from the Great Sage Master." Jiang Cheng said, "Well, it's just for insurance, not to get Lao Deng's equipment."

……

In the end, Jiang Cheng and Dian Wei, one riding an electric bike and the other riding a tall horse, went to Hulao Pass.

Don't ask why you don't ride the same.

The question is Jiang Chengcai, who has been unable to learn to ride a horse for three years. Dian Wei is not very smart either, riding a horse is the limit of his ability, and he really can't learn to ride a bike.

However, a small incident occurred on the way to Hulao Pass.

On the official road about a hundred miles away from Hulao Pass, an old man was leaning on a walking stick, waving to passers-by, trying to find someone to give him a ride.

But no one paid any attention.

Jiang Cheng looked at this and couldn't help but shake his head, sighing that "the world is becoming more corrupt and people's hearts are no longer the same as before."

Next, he wanted the old man to get on the motorcycle.

But the old man shook his head and refused, saying: "You can't!"

"What?"

"You can tell at a glance that I'm a master. Doing good things with a purpose doesn't count!"

Jiang Cheng: “???”
