Chutian did not expect that Hua Mulan would rob Lu Zhi, one of the hundred officials in Luoyang, back.

Lu Zhi was not only the commander-in-chief, but also a great scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty. He was higher in rank than Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, who still had to be respectful in front of him. Unlike the generals recruited, he is a truly influential celebrity in the Eastern Han region of the "Lord" world, and is also one of the "Three Heroes of the Late Han Dynasty" who suppressed the uprising of the Yellow Turbans, alongside Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

When he met his former temporary boss, Chutian hurriedly gave him a seat.

To please Lu Zhi, with Lu Zhi's fame, even if Chutian is not as famous as Yuan Shao IV's third prince, he can still get the support of the Eastern Han scholar-bureaucrat class.

"Also give you a seat."

Chu Tian saw that the other officials were still silent, in order to ease the atmosphere and make these officials believe that he was a good person, different from Dong Zhuo, so he showed them good.

Seeing that the officials had calmed down, Lu Zhi patiently reminisced with Chu Tian: "Two years ago, when we parted ways in the Guangzong County battlefield, you were still a rebel lord at that time. I've heard of it."

Chu Tian respectfully said: "In front of Mr. Zimou, Zimou is still a little immature. Today, Dong Zhuo's cholera, and he set fire to Luoyang. Heaven and man are indignant. Therefore, he responded to the alliance of the Guandong princes and attacked Dong's thieves."

"Zimou serves the country and the people, this is a good thing."

"I see that there is no place for Mr. and all the adults, so it is better to move to Xiacheng. Although Xiacheng is not an absolute paradise, it has never been conquered. Provide money and food to the adults every month."

Chu Tian tried to fool Lu Zhi and this group of reputable officials to Xiacheng.

Xiacheng can support twenty or thirty civil servants who eat dry rice. These civil servants can bring some invisible bonuses to Xiacheng and expand the cultural influence of Langya Kingdom. Overall, it is not a loss.

Lu Zhi's expression was sad: "Now the government is in chaos, and the world is difficult to stabilize. I plan to return to Zhuo County and live in seclusion, and I will not ask about the world from now on."

Lu Zhi wants to live in seclusion?

Chu Tian was reluctant to give up the opportunity to recruit a commander and a great scholar, so he said: "This is a bad statement. The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every husband. The world is in chaos and the people are in dire straits. Even a butcher should join the army and bring peace to the world. In exchange for Limin to rule the world, not to mention that Mr. Beizhong once suppressed the Yellow Turbans for General Beizhong. Don't you feel ashamed?"

"The rise and fall of a good world is everyone's responsibility."

Lu Weiwei preached to a young man, and this young man returned every word to the point.

Lu Zhi himself was an upright person, and being so provoked by Chu Tian, ​​even if he knew Chu Tian's intentions two or three points, he was still willing to take the bait.

This is conspiracy.

Chu Tian finds it easier to deal with people who are upright and have no protagonist.

Loyalty, filial piety, righteousness, fame, fortune, and sex are nothing more than human nature.

Lu Zhi took the initiative to ask: "General Fubo is young and promising, and he must have lofty ambitions. I don't know what countermeasures can be used to pacify the world?"

Chu Tian replied: "The only thing is to stop martial arts with daggers."

Lu Zhi pondered: "I have been thinking about it for a long time recently, but this is the only way..."

It turns out that Lu Zhi also has the idea of ​​using force to pacify the world?

It is also said,

How could a Zhonglang general who personally commanded the suppression of Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turbans not realize the importance of force?

Unlike Kong Rong, who was also a Confucian and was driven by the Yellow Turbans, Lu Zhi was the military commander who forced Zhang Jiao to Guangzong City. He doesn't talk eloquently, and he doesn't take force lightly.

In history, Lu Zhi once served as Yuan Shao's military advisor, but Lu Zhi died a year later.

Seeing that the timing was about right, Chu Tian proposed to recruit: "Zimou is not talented, Langya country has only fifty thousand soldiers and horses, which is nothing in the world, and it can't be compared with Dong Zhuo's army of hundreds of thousands, but Zimou's ambition is Self-cultivation and family governance, I hope I can get help from Mr.

Chu Tian openly recruited Lu Zhi, and the other 20 or 30 officials showed strange expressions.

In their opinion, if Lu Zhi was loyal to Chutian, he would be condescending.

Lu Zhi is two generations older than Chu Tian, ​​and coupled with his amazing influence, do you want to make Lu Zhi an official under the hand of a Lang Ya Xiang in Chu Tian?

"Allow me to think about it."

Lu Zhi obviously hadn't considered whether he should live in seclusion or go into office. In the past few months, the ten permanent servants, Yuan Shao, and Dong Zhuo have come to power like watching flowers, and they have dealt a great blow to Lu Zhi.

"My lords, you can think carefully during this time. Dong Zhuo controls the imperial court, like a hungry tiger and a wolf. If you go to Chang'an, you cannot escape death, and you will not be able to manage the government. If you want to live in seclusion, you can consider going to Langya.

Except for Lu Zhi, to be honest, other people, Chu Tian, ​​looked down on him.

If they could move to Xiacheng, it would be best to increase the influence of Langya Kingdom. If they didn't want to, Chu Tian didn't want to force a group of Confucian students to stay, otherwise he would be notorious.

"Yes, there is a 'Du Fu Thatched Cottage' in Xiacheng, which is a gathering place for scholars and writers. I think you will benefit a lot by visiting Xiacheng."

Chutian tried to use literati to attract literati, let more literati gather in Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and expand the influence of Du Fu Thatched Cottage.

Many civil servants looked at each other: "General Fubo, none of us have heard of Du Fu's Thatched Cottage."

"Everyone is in distress, and there is nowhere to go. Why don't you go to Xiacheng and see what Du Fu's Thatched Cottage is. I will provide all the meals."

Chutian has a way to fool them to Xiacheng, and there is a way to keep some people behind.

It is unrealistic to keep everyone in Langya, after all, everyone has their own aspirations.

This group of civil servants was looted by the rebels, impoverished, and the imperial court was controlled by Dong Zhuo.

"Bo Xie, I intend to go to Langya, what do you think?"

Lu Zhi looked at one of the civil servants and seemed to want to ask his opinion.

Chu Tian knew that Lu Zhi was addressing the other party.

Bo Zhe, isn't this Cai Yong's word? Cai Yong, a writer and calligrapher in the Eastern Han Dynasty, is proficient in rhythm and is very famous in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and is also the father of Cai Wenji.

It turned out that he was also caught by Hua Mulan...

Cai Yong thought about it, and finally said: "If Xiang Langya doesn't think we old guys are burdensome, I'm willing to go to Xiacheng to have a look."

Lu Zhi and Cai Yong planned to go, and other civil servants soon responded. Literati always follow the crowd, and when the prestigious Lu Zhi and Cai Yong nodded, others flocked.

That's the importance of fame.

Chutian is also famous in the Eastern Han District. His reputation is the largest among the players, followed by the princes, and then the family.

If he hadn't known Lu Zhi before, Lu Zhi might not have talked to him so patiently.

After securing Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and other great Confucian scholars, Xuzhou's aristocratic families probably wouldn't dare to look down on Chu Tian.

These civil servants were frightened recently, so Chutian asked people to prepare meals for them and entertain them.

Various princes were stationed under Hangu Pass, except Chutian, other princes also grabbed some officials.

In the eyes of the princes, population, money and grain, war horses, officials, and the emperor are all resources that can be used for hegemony. Some resources are tangible and some resources are intangible.

Liu Bei's camp was located near Chutian's camp. When he learned that Lu Zhi was in Chutian's camp, he was shocked and immediately came to visit.

Liu Bei did not think that Chu Tian would murder him.

"Xuande has seen his teacher!"

Liu Bei visited his teacher and performed the etiquette of a disciple.

But then Liu Bei felt something was wrong.

Chu Tian and Lu Zhi sat side by side, chatting and laughing.

Liu Bei was even more puzzled.

Even if Chu Tian stole some of his military exploits, now even his mentor is not spared.

Lu Zhi and Liu Bei met, and the two reminisced a little bit. They learned that another student, Gongsun Zan, was besieged by the Wuhuan tribe in western Liaoning.

Chang'an, Dong Zhuo managed to escape to this place, and it is difficult to measure the number of troops and losses.

Hu Zhen, the captain of the cavalry, was killed, the two generals Xu Rong and Hua Xiong disappeared, and Dong Zhuo's forces were severely hit.

Xu Rong and Hua Xiong were generals to Dong Zhuo, and he made people inquire about the whereabouts of the two generals.

"The deserters report that Xu Rong, the general of Zhonglang, was captured by the young general in silver armor and white robe when he fell at Hulao Pass!"

"That's Chu Zimou's subordinate!"

Dong Zhuojing reminded that the opponent was Yinjia and Baipao, and most of them were one of the two fierce generals who fought against Lu Bu in Hulaoguan.

"The whereabouts of the cavalry captain Huaxiong have been detected, and Yan Huaxiong, a member of the Xiliang iron cavalry who fled back, was captured alive by a young general in silver armor and white robe, and his life and death are unknown!"

Dong Zhuo learned one after another that the two capable generals were captured by Chu Tian, ​​his slightly bloated body trembled slightly, and his fear of Chu Tian reached the extreme.

"Report! Chu Zimou united with the Guandong princes and stationed troops under Hangu Pass, with the intention of marching westward and coercing Chang'an!"

What made Dong Zhuo even more afraid happened, Chu Zimou was going to attack Chang'an!

If Dong Zhuo remained calm at this time, he would definitely not think that Chu Tian really wanted to attack Chang'an, but this time Dong Zhuo was in disarray.

His benefactor fought very fiercely, and drove Dong Zhuo from Hulao Pass to Chang'an, and now he has to fight Chang'an.

If Dong Zhuo escaped again, he could only escape to Liangzhou.

The lords of Liangzhou would not easily accept Dong Zhuo as their true master, and there were also lords such as Ma Teng and Han Sui.

In other words, Dong Zhuo has no way out.

"Send someone to ask for peace. As long as Chu Zimou retreats, what do you want. Money, food, or beauty, I promise him everything."

Dong Zhuo was afraid of being beaten. If Chu Tian could withdraw his troops, he was willing to accept some harsh conditions.

Soon Dong Zhuo learned the thoughts of Chutian and other Kanto princes - they wanted higher official positions.

The Kanto princes presented the emperor, but actually fell into Dong Zhuo's hands.

"He was already Prime Minister Langya and General Fubo at a very young age, and now he is begging Xu Zhou for her husband, his appetite is too large, and he has to ask me for dozens of generals and captains. When are generals and captains so worthless? "

Dong Zhuo saw Chutian's list above, the dense list.

If it wasn't for Chu Tian being alone, it is estimated that even the seventh aunt and eight aunts would have been canonized as captain. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, even if you could donate money to officials, it was all about money. Chu Tian did not pay a cent, and asked Dong Zhuo for an official position directly.

What shocked Dong Zhuo the most was that Chu Tian had the cheek to ask Xu Zhou Mu.

How can there be such a young Xuzhou shepherd in the world?

And not long ago, Dong Zhuo canonized Tao Qian as Xuzhou Shepherd in the name of the Son of Heaven. Now Chutian is also vying for Xuzhou Shepherd, obviously competing with Tao Qian.

The chief counselor Li Ru said: "My lord, he wants Xuzhou Mu, you might as well give it to him and let him compete with Tao Qian for Xuzhou, then Chu Zimou will have no time to attack the lord."

"Tao Qian is weak, how can he be Chu Zimou's opponent? In two or three years, Chu Zimou will definitely own Xuzhou."

"What's the matter, even if you don't consecrate him as Xuzhou Mu, lord, he can still conquer Xuzhou. Whether there is Xuzhou Mu is just icing on the cake, and it doesn't matter to him. There is a plan below, which can make foreign princes feel a gap."

"What's the plan?"

"The lord only appointed Chu Zimou as the state shepherd, and the rest of the alien lords only gave their subordinates some insignificant official positions. In this way, the alien lords will definitely have doubts about Chu Zimou, and the Kwantung coalition will fail without attacking."

Li Ru's alienation scheme is very insidious.

After Dong Zhuo heard this, his brows finally stretched: "Chu Zimou was named Xuzhou Mu, Andong General, and Kaiyang County Marquis, all his requirements were met, and the rest of the foreign princes only named a few of their subordinates as captains, and they themselves The office will remain unchanged.”

Dong Zhuo sent envoys to communicate with the confronting princes. When the canonization of the imperial court came to the camp of the Guandong princes, Chu Tian realized that something was wrong.

He was put together by Li Ru.

If he accepts Dong Zhuo's canonization and becomes General Xuzhou Mu and An Dong, the other princes who are allies will have a break from his heart.

Why did Dong Zhuo only appoint Chutian as the state shepherd, and he was indifferent to the other feudal princes?

Even though one can see that this is Dong Zhuo's alienation scheme, they still fall for it because their hearts are unbalanced.

Fang Xuanling dissuaded Chu Tian: "The person who came up with this plan is very insidious and wants to put the lord in an injustice. If the lord accepts it, I am afraid that his prestige will be affected in the future."

"It seems that we underestimated Dong Zhuo. There are capable people on Dong Zhuo's side."

Chu Tian thought that Dong Zhuo had two military advisors, Li Ru and Jia Xu, and they must have seen through their purpose of coercing Chang'an with the help of the allied forces of the Guandong princes, so they would turn against the army.

After discussing with Fang Xuanling, Chu Tian decided to take control of Xuzhou first, and then show Xuzhou Mu to the court, and no one could gossip at that time.

"Please go back and report to Dong Zhuo. If I can't satisfy everyone, I will not lead Xu Zhou Mu alone. We will not retreat."

Chutian rejected Dong Zhuo's appointment in front of many foreign princes.

Although Xuzhou Mu and General An Dong sounded more majestic, Chutian did not dare to lead Xuzhou Mu under the premise that there were still many alien lords eyeing them.

Do not suffer from the few but suffer from inequity.

The envoys sent by Dong Zhuo were embarrassed: "General Fubo, you should know that it is impossible to set up so many state shepherds..."

All the lords want to lead the state shepherds, so the state shepherds in the entire Eastern Han region are all alien lords.

"Let Dong Zhuo find a way."

Chu Tian's tone was not polite.

If Dong Zhuo wanted them to retreat, he had to come up with a plan that would satisfy everyone.
