Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 398 Liu Bei discusses the world

"Aiqing, you and I hit it off right away, and we are of the same clan. I don't know if Aiqing is willing to stay in Chang'an and help the widow revive the great man." Seeing that Liu Bei and himself were sympathetic, Emperor Xian asked tentatively.

"It's my honor to be able to contribute to His Majesty, but my position is low, and I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to stay in Chang'an." Liu Bei is naturally aware of the current situation in Chang'an. Although he doesn't want to disappoint Emperor Xian, he is also unwilling to deceive him. Emperor Xian could only say evasively.

"Hahaha, why did Aiqing say that? Naturally, I won't treat you badly for such things as official positions. You and I are of the same clan. Although I can't directly make you king, you don't need to worry about low positions. As long as you serve me faithfully, I will not treat you badly." Seeing Liu Bei's evasion, Emperor Xian laughed out loud, he may not be able to give you other things, but as an emperor, Emperor Xian does not lack such official positions, don't worry Not to mention that the title of the emperor's uncle alone is enough to elevate Liu Bei's status to a high level, so there is no need for other positions, but since Liu Bei proposed it, Emperor Xian naturally agreed.

"Your Majesty, why did you appear here?" Liu Bei didn't want to continue talking with Emperor Xian on the topic of whether to stay in Chang'an, so he changed the subject.Liu Bei was very curious about Emperor Xian's appearance here, and Liu Bei was also very interested in whether there was any hidden secret in it.

"Ai Qing doesn't know anything. Ever since I became the throne, I have been bullied by Dong Zhuo. It was only when Dong Zhuo was put to death that I finally saw the light. It's a pity that the country is so dilapidated at this time. The great man has lost his former glory. Wang Yun Although I was loyal, I was unfortunately killed by Li Jue and Guo Si. Now I have no one close to me, and I was afraid that Lu Bu would have bad intentions for me, so I decided to leave Chang'an and find another place to live. It’s just that there are few princes in the world who do their best for the imperial court. I don’t know what Aiqing thinks about this matter?” When Emperor Xian and Liu Bei met, they felt that Liu Bei was a reliable person, so he also told him about his escape from Chang’an. I want to hear Liu Bei's opinion.

"I don't know where your Majesty wants to settle down?" Although Emperor Xian showed great sincerity to Liu Bei, Liu Bei knew in his heart that it was just that Emperor Xian went to the doctor indiscriminately. Once Emperor Xian's condition improved, how could he keep his respect? Because of his own trust, Liu Bei was not in a hurry to offer advice to Emperor Xian, but asked further to Emperor Xian.

"I heard that Yuan Shao in Jizhou has many soldiers and generals, and he is a loyal minister. If he contributes to the country, it will not be long before the Han Dynasty rejuvenates." The first thing Emperor Xian thought of was Yuan Shao, the eldest son of the Yuan family, the first family of the Han Dynasty. , So he asked Liu Bei tentatively, he must have come from Hebei, and he knew Yuan Shao very clearly.

"Although Yuan Shao is well-known, he is tolerant on the outside, but narrow in heart. Even though he has the ambition to protect the country, he has no talent to serve the country. Based on my knowledge, Yuan Shao is not a person who can take on the important task of revitalizing the Han Dynasty." Liu Bei He once helped Gongsun Zan deal with Yuan Shao in Jizhou, and he is still very clear about Yuan Shao’s character. Although Yuan Shao’s reputation is prominent, his treatment of Han Fu during the process of obtaining Jizhou also makes people who know the inside feel chilling, but it’s just troubled times Everyone protects themselves, and naturally no one will stand up and complain for a useless person like Han Fu.

"Yuan Shu in Yuzhou has many soldiers and generals, can we agree with each other?" Emperor Xian asked Liu Bei about Yuan Shu again.

"Yuan Shu is so ambitious, but unfortunately his ability is even less than Yuan Shao's. Although he inherited the prestige and wealth of the Yuan family in Yuzhou, he only oppressed the good. He couldn't serve the imperial court at the top, and couldn't benefit one party at the bottom. Seeing Emperor Xian mentioning Yuan Shu, Liu Bei also told the truth.

"Unknown in the world, who can help me revive the great man?" Hearing Liu Bei's words, Emperor Xian frowned. About Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, Emperor Xian also heard Cao Yindao's hearsay, but Liu Bei did not know such details, but since this Both of them are not enough to revive the great man, Emperor Xian doesn't know who else in the world can revive the great man.

"Your Majesty is also very familiar with this person. I just hope that Your Majesty will not blame the minister." Liu Bei replied to Emperor Xian after thinking for a while.

"Don't worry, what you and my uncle and nephew said are all for the sake of rejuvenating the big man, so why would I blame you, but it's okay." Seeing that Liu Bei really had a candidate in his mind, Emperor Xian said with a gleam in his eyes.

"In the whole world, there are only two people who can rejuvenate the great man. No. 1 is Lu Bu. Lu Bu was born in a poor family, and his martial arts and strategy are amazing. Everyone in the world knows that Lu Bu won the three armies bravely, but they don't know Lu Bu's strategy. It is also rare that there are few people in the world who can match it. Lu Bu was able to take Liangzhou within a few months after Dong Zhuo's death, and then marched into Chang'an. Going on, I really don't know what kind of power Lv Bu will reach, so if Your Majesty can persuade Lv Bu to be loyal to His Majesty, Zhongxing Dahan will be much smoother." Although Liu Bei didn't like Lv Bu, but Lv Bu's performance made Liu Bei feel angry again. It's jealousy and envy, even Liu Bei doesn't know if he will have a chance to realize Lu Bu's current achievements in his life.

"Lv Bu is the son of Dong Zhuo, the traitor prime minister. This person is really not trustworthy. You should tell me about your other candidate." Emperor Xian was really frightened by Dong Zhuo. Emperor Xian didn't show any kindness to Emperor Xian. Emperor Xian really didn't want to see such a person again. After meeting Lu Bu, Emperor Xian's subordinates would think of Dong Zhuo. This made Emperor Xian hard to accept.

"The other person I mentioned is Cao Cao, the current Yanzhou shepherd. When the alliance of princes opposed Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao was the most active. Later, after Dong Zhuo moved his capital to Chang'an, the princes had no intention of continuing to attack Dong Zhuo. Only Cao Cao insisted. Leading troops to attack Dong Zhuo, he was defeated by Lu Bu and almost died. It can be seen that Cao Cao is still loyal to the big man, but there is a gap between Cao Cao and Lu Bu. When Lu Bu chased and killed Cao Cao, Cao Cao was rescued by Xun Yu. He was able to escape, but Xun Yu was taken away by Lu Bu, if Lu Bu got Xun Yu's help, he would be even more powerful in the future." When talking about Cao Cao, Liu Bei once again mentioned the matter between Cao Cao and Lu Bu back then, and this was clearly told to Emperor Xian , although Cao Cao is also a character, he is inferior to Lu Bu.

"Cao Cao? I have some images of this person. Everyone in the world was afraid of Dong Zhuo back then, but Cao Cao was not afraid. He even assassinated Dong Zhuo today. My image of this person is not bad." Hearing Cao Cao's name, Emperor Xian's face Finally, he showed a rare relief, obviously he is more satisfied with Cao Cao.Then I saw Emperor Xian's expression fixed on the town and said to Liu Bei: "Would Liu Aiqing be willing to help me and lead me to leave Chang'an and go to Yanzhou?"

"This?" Liu Bei didn't expect Emperor Xian to make such a sudden request. For Liu Bei, this was a bit tricky, not to mention taking Emperor Xian away, even Liu Bei wanted to leave now that Lu Bu was in charge of Chang'an. It's just that it's so easy to leave now, not to mention that Lu Bu has sent Hua Xiong to garrison Tongguan, even if there is no natural danger in Tongguan, it is impossible for Lu Bu to fight all the way. "Your Majesty, at this time, we still need to make a long-term plan. If your Majesty wants to leave Chang'an, you must take the Chinese and Chinese military weapons with you. Only in this way will your Majesty be recognized by the world wherever you go. Otherwise, even if your Majesty goes outside, it will be difficult for you to rejuvenate the big man." " Liu Bei's words were very cryptic, but he told Emperor Xian a truth, only when Emperor Xian fled with civil and military officials, would he be recognized by the princes, otherwise, even if Emperor Xian fled outside, the big deal in Chang'an would be that Emperor Xian passed away. Find someone to top it.

"This?" Seeing that Liu Bei was either evading or tactfully refusing, Emperor Xian hesitated for a while, and his favor for Liu Bei suddenly became a little weaker.

"Actually, Your Majesty doesn't need to be overly pessimistic about the affairs of Chang'an. Although Wang Yun is dead, the general is still in Chang'an, and Lu Bu is not the only one who has the final say in Chang'an. As long as Your Majesty reconciles and controls it well, it may not be so. I have no chance to grasp the situation in Chang'an. Compared to going to other princes' territory, I feel that it is more appropriate to stay in Chang'an at this time." Although Liu Bei is not willing to offer the emperor to be controlled by Lu Bu, but compared to defecting to any princes, being ruled by any princes princes control.Emperor Xian seems to have more room for manoeuvre in Chang'an at this time. There must be Ma Teng in Chang'an at this time, and Fufeng and Tianshui Lu Bu in the west have not been able to grasp it. As long as Ma Teng recovers soon and gets the two counties of Tianshui and Fufeng , then Ma Teng and Lu Bu will regain a balance of strength.And this is also the opportunity for Emperor Xian to regain power and dominate the court. Although this opportunity is a little slim, it is an opportunity after all.

"So, Aiqing is willing to stay and help me?" Although Emperor Xian was resistant to Dong Zhuo's subordinates, this could not conceal the wisdom of Emperor Xian. For Emperor Xian, who was used to court infighting, he naturally knew Lv Bu and Ma Teng's balance of power and even the struggle can bring him opportunities, and Liu Bei in front of him seems to be very suitable as the first confidant force cultivated by Emperor Xian.

"Eh?" Did Liu Bei think that after talking for a long time, he was escaped by Emperor Xian and returned to this topic again, but Liu Bei only hesitated a little, and immediately agreed with affirmation: "It is Liu Bei who can serve your majesty. It is an honor. Rest assured, Your Majesty, Liu Bei must devote himself to death."

"Boom, boom." Just as Liu Bei and Emperor Xian were talking, the sound of horseshoes rumbled, and a cavalry force of more than [-] men came from far to near. The pole is square and the sky is painted with a halberd.But it was Lu Bu who received Hu Zhen's news and rushed over with four thousand wolf riders.
