Lu Bu, God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 569 Conspiring to Capture Hebei
"Does the lord really want to share the power that he has finally obtained with others?" After learning that Lu Bu decided to be regent with the other nine lords, Cheng Yu found Lu Bu and asked directly.

"Since I have said this, I will definitely give up some rights, but you can rest assured that although other people can participate in political affairs with me, there is only one regent in the whole world." Seeing Cheng Yu's anxious appearance , Lu Bu just chuckled and continued.

"I don't know who are the candidates for the other eight kings that the Prime Minister said?" Compared with Cheng Yu, Xun Yu who was beside him was much more stable. He only heard him speak at this time, but he asked the key point.

"If you don't tell me, I'm going to tell everyone that my plan for the eight kings is to canonize the princes who have galloped on this land during this period of time as kings in recognition of their contributions to my great man. The honor of those who have died will be inherited by their descendants. The eight kings are: Gongsun Zan, Prince of Beiping, Yuan Shao, King of Xindu, Ma Teng, King of Xiliang, Zhang Lu, King of Hanzhong, Liu Zhang, King of Chengdu, Liu Biao, King of Xiangyang, Wu Wang Sunjian, Linzi Wang Tiankai, Beihai Wang Kong Rong. I don’t know what you think?” In Lu Bu’s arrangement, the princes who have contributed to the Han Dynasty since the Yellow Turban Rebellion were basically included, although many of them had died. However, the deeds before them were widely circulated and praised by people, so it is self-evident that Lu Bu did this to buy people's hearts.However, Lu Bu's use is obviously more than that, because in Lu Bu's arrangement, there are not only many princes with good reputations, but even all the important princes and forces in the land of the Han Dynasty today, which is a bit intriguing.

"Well, the lord's move is really clever. The lord canonized Yuan Shao, Ma Teng, Sun Jian and others as kings, which can not only justify their names, but also have the effect of buying people's hearts, so that their descendants can change their views on the lord. It is indeed beneficial to improve the current situation of the great man." Xun Yu thought for a while, and he had already sensed the meaning of Lu Bu's actions. At least it can be seen that Lu Bu's purpose of conferring Ma Teng as the king of Xiliang is very clear. , can not only improve the not-so-good relationship between Lu Bu and Ma Chao, but also be more conducive to the relationship between Lu Bu and Ma Yunlu.

"I have also seen some of the meaning of the prince. Yuan Shao died, and Yuan Shao's two sons fought fiercely to inherit Yuan Shao's family business. Now that they have the title of King of Xindu, I believe they will be added to each other. As long as they continue to consume like this, Hebei will become the prince's territory within a few years." At this time, Cheng Yu also saw some ways, and said.

"Everyone just said a part of it. Now that I think about it, the reason why the website named these people kings with different surnames probably has a deeper meaning." Said that everyone was stunned for a moment, not understanding what deeper intentions Lu Bu had.

"Oh, then you said the last one, what else do I mean?" Lu Bu was also interested by Guo Jia's words, and asked.

"In the past, the princes used the emperor to command the princes. To put it bluntly, they relied on the power of the emperor to strengthen themselves, but now the prince has completely deprived the imperial power, and the power of the emperor has dropped to a low point. I want to use it again. It is already impossible for the emperor to command the world, so we can only find another way for the current plan. Now that the prince names these people different surnames, he can follow the ancient teachings and recruit them to the capital. If they obey, from then on It's a bird in a cage. After receiving our constraints, we can annex his power without a single soldier. If he is unwilling to obey, we have a reason to send troops. In this way, Zhang Kechi can control everything Among them." Just listening to Guo Jia's eloquence and eloquence, but in the eyes of everyone, he has already unfolded a magnificent picture of dominating the world, which is fascinating.

"Congratulations, my lord. In this way, my lord will rule the world, and it's just around the corner." Cheng Yu was the first to react and turned to congratulate Lu Bu.

"Hehe, didn't we start this road to unify the world a long time ago? Now we are just getting closer to this goal. Where do you think our road to unify the world should start?" Regarding Guo Jia's rhetoric, Lu Bu just chuckled. In fact, Lu Bu had long wanted to rule the world, but it was not easy to want to rule the world. He could only take one step at a time.

"I think that if we want to unify the world, we should take Hebei first. Hebei is an important place where the people are rich and the country is strong. It has been a place to use troops since ancient times. What's more, although our soldiers have begun to train troops in Yangzhou in the early years, the strength of the navy has always been weak. At this time, going south is not sure of victory, but it is better to take Hebei first, uproot the Yuan family, and then cooperate with a large number of troops to go south, so that the world can be pacified in one fell swoop." When Lu Bu asked about the pacification of the world, Cheng Yu spoke first Said.

"Xun Yu, tell me about it too." Seeing Xun Yu's thoughtful look in his clothes, Lu Bu knew what question Xun Yu had in mind, so he asked.

"My lord, I am not opposed to taking Hebei first, but I think there is one person that must be dealt with first. If not, it will definitely bring a lot of trouble to our southern expedition in the future." Xun Yu frowned and said nothing.

"You're talking about Liu Bei?" Hearing what Xun Yu said, Lu Bu naturally thought of someone, and that person was none other than Liu Bei.Lu Bu and Liu Bei had been in contact for a long time, and it took more than a day or two to kill Liu Bei, but I don't know whether it was Liu Bei's luck or Liu Bei's fate, Lu Bu has never been able to get his wish.

"It is this person, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who are helping each other. He is already very difficult to deal with. Now that we have a good general like Zhao Yun, if we can get the guidance of an outstanding military adviser, it will definitely become a future problem for our army. And I heard that Xiahou Dun Now that I have gone to Jingzhou, if I help Liu Bei in the future, it will be a greater threat to our army." It turns out that Xun Yu knows that Liu Bei is not a man in the pool, as long as he is given the right time, he will be able to Being able to grow to an unimaginable level, this is how Liu Bei has gradually grown from an unknown person over the years. More importantly, Liu Bei was once wanted by Tao Qian in Xuzhou. It will be a great obstacle to Lu Bu's future plan to conquer the south.

"Guo Jia, what do you think?" Regarding Xun Yu's doubts, Lu Bu thought for a while and still felt that there was no good way to solve them, so he turned to look at Guo Jia, and asked.

"Hehe, in fact, why should the prince care too much about Liu Bei? Hasn't Liu Bei been suppressed by the prince for so many years? Even if Liu Bei's power will increase, these are not all in the prince's expectation. What's more, the prince just now The princes of the world were widely granted, but Liu Bei was the only one left out, and the prince has already made plans for Liu Bei's affairs." Guo Jia did not answer Lu Bu's question directly, but said some words of relief.

"That's right. The reason why Liu Bei is today is actually very similar to me. I was relying on the emperor to command the princes. And Liu Bei relied on the reputation of the emperor's uncle to bluff and deceive everywhere. That's why he attracted so many people who have feelings for the Liu Dynasty. Fantastical talents. If we attack Liu Bei at this time, it will definitely make Jingzhou Liu Biao feel alienated, thinking that we have to deal with him. This is likely to make Liu Bei more important in Jingzhou and gain greater power, and it is likely to help Liu Bei win Go to Jingzhou. So let’s put this matter on the side for the time being. Let’s solve the Hebei matter first, and then come back to talk about the Nanzheng matter. But Zhang Liao can’t let him idle, tell Zhang Liao to make him think of Zhang Lu in Hanzhong An envoy was sent there, he is a priest of the Five Dou Rice Sect, I have crowned him king with a different surname, and it is always time for him to show his loyalty to me.” I have to say that Guo Jia’s words reminded Lu Bu that although Liu Bei has great potential, But it must not be the climate now, there is no need to go to war with Liu Bei, and more importantly, fighting Liu Bei may not be profitable, Liu Bei only has a remote Xinye in his hands, even if Lu Bu's army drives Liu Bei out of Xinye, others will It is said that Lu Bu's victory is not martial, and Liu Bei's defeat is glorious, but if Lu Bu loses the battle with Liu Bei, it will fulfill Liu Bei's prestige. , the Yuan family has reached the end of the road, as long as Lu Bu works harder, he can get the other half of the land in Youzhou, Qingzhou and Jizhou, and the income can be described as rich.In comparison, beating Liu Bei is gnawing a bone, but beating Yuan is eating meat.

"Let's talk about how we will attack Hebei." Now that we have decided to attack Hebei, we need to have a detailed plan. Only in this way can we achieve good results. As the saying goes: "A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength. "That's exactly the reason.

"My lord, I have some friendship with Tian Kai of Qingzhou in the past, and I am willing to go to instigate Tian Kai and let him bring Qingzhou to surrender. I don't know if my lord is willing." As soon as Lu Bu said this, one person walked away from the crowd Come out and say to Lu Bu.Lu Bu fixed his eyes and saw that this person was none other than Tian Feng, who was rescued from the dungeon in Yecheng after Lu Bu captured Yecheng.

It turned out that Tian Kai was the governor of Qingzhou in the past, and he was in charge of Qingzhou. Later, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, Qingzhou was tortured and unable to fight against the Yellow Turbans.At that time, Cao Cao led the troops and Zhang Yan, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army, fought in Puyang, and finally won the victory. The Yellow Turban Army was reorganized into the Qingzhou Army. At that time, Tian Feng played a big role in it. Now that Yuan Shao died, the two brothers of the Yuan family were fighting each other. At this time, Lu Bu had already canonized Tian Kai as the king of Linzi. Tian Feng happened to bring this gift to meet Tian Kai. If Qingzhou can be surrendered smoothly, Qingzhou can be prevented from falling into the flames of war, and the speed at which Lu Bu can take Hebei can be accelerated.
