Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 164 Yizhou Split

As for the land of Shu, the failure to return from the Hanzhong expedition last time has explained a lot of problems. At that time, Lu Bu sent all elites, and Jia Xu accompanied him. Whenever there was a chance, Lu Bu would take advantage of Liu Yan's death to fight in. , even if you fail to win the entire territory of Shu, at least you must win Hanzhong.

However, the reality is that although we won a small victory for a while, the fact is that let alone attacking Shu, even if we attack Hanzhong, it will take several years if there are sufficient troops. A good way, so Lu Bu chose to send Fazheng into Shu, waiting for an opportunity to stir up conflicts between local scholars in central Shu and Dongzhou scholars.

If you want to break through Shu, it is obviously not advisable to attack by force. It’s not that you can’t get in, but it’s too expensive, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Especially when the world is changing, it’s not the best solution to spend too much energy and time in Shu, so Lu Bu chose to send Fazheng into Shu to wait for an opportunity to disrupt the military-legal relationship between Shu and sit in Guanzhong himself to wait for changes.

And the facts also proved that Lu Bu's withdrawal was not wrong. Once the external pressure was removed, as Fa Zheng brought the imperial edict to Shu to appease him, various contradictions in Shu emerged one after another.

Liu Zhang obviously didn't have the ability to subdue the tyrants in the middle of Shu. The first thing that went wrong was the root cause of Fazheng's letter to Lu Bu this time, which was Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu's complete opposition.

At the beginning when Xu Rong attacked Qishan, after breaking the camp of Qishan, there was no way to continue, and he could not win quickly, so he had to retreat. Originally, retreating Xu Rong was a great achievement for Zhang Lu, but after Liu Yan died, Zhang Lu followed Liu Zhang didn't agree with each other. Now that Liu Zhang is the lord of Yizhou, Zhang Lu naturally doesn't want to listen to Liu Zhang. In addition, after Xu Rong retreated in this battle, he feels somewhat arrogant and despised Liu Zhang even more. There is.

As for why Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang did not get along, it had to start with Zhang Lu's mother.

Zhang Lu is the grandson of Zhang Ling, the first heavenly master of the Five Dou Rice Sect, and the son of Zhang Heng, the second celestial master, and the authentic successor of the Five Dou Rice Sect. After Zhang Heng died, the head of the Wu Dou Rice Sect was not Zhang Lu, but Zhang Lu's mother .

There is a technique in the Five Dou of Rice Religion, which is called the art of combining energy between men and women. To put it bluntly, it is a matter of the bed, and the male is called a kind of people. This method of cultivation is very sacred in the Wu Dou of Rice.

Zhang Lu's mother used this as an excuse to invite Liu Yan to be a planter, and to participate in the five buckets of rice road, so that he can also seek longevity together in the future.

I don't know whether others believe it or not, but Liu Yan definitely believed it, so Zhang Lu's mother often went to the road with Liu Yan, and Zhang Lu's ability to gain Liu Yan's trust was also due to this pillow wind.

You know, Liu Yan's purpose for letting Zhang Lu come to Hanzhong was to block the way and rob, and intercept and kill the envoys from the imperial court, saying that the rice thief broke the way and could not be flexible. Since then, no envoys from the imperial court have come, and Lu Bu took him Method.

Being able to be sent to do this kind of thing, and entrusting the entire Hanzhong to such an important place, one can imagine how much Liu Yan trusted Zhang Lu.

However, Liu Yan trusted Zhang Lu, but his family didn't have such a good attitude towards Zhang Lu's mother's visit to Zhang Lu. Originally, this matter was thought of with toes, and it should be left to the Liu family members, but now it is handed over to a outsider.

When Liu Yan was there, no one dared to say anything, but when Liu Yan died, the power of this mother of Lu would naturally disappear. Liu Zhang is the third son of Liu Yan, no matter in terms of age, ethics or emotion It's impossible for Zhang Lu's mother to go to enlighten Liu Zhang again, and even if she wanted to, Liu Zhang probably wouldn't be able to accept it.

At this point, Zhang Lu's power is actually exhausted. Liu Zhang only needs to cut power a little bit, or lure Zhang Lu back to Chengdu and arrest him, seize Hanzhong again, and send the clan's children to guard Hanzhong.

But Zhang Lu is not a fool either. He has exhausted his power in Chengdu, but he has already gained a foothold in Hanzhong by spreading the Five Dou Rice Religion over the years. As soon as Liu Zhang pouted as the new owner of Yizhou, Zhang Lu knew what the other party was going to fart, so naturally it was impossible to go.

After several evasions, he finally lost his temper and directly opposed Liu Zhang. On Liu Zhang's side, he was not polite, and directly dealt with Zhang Lu's family members in Chengdu, including his mother, and calculated the anger accumulated over the years.

But at this point, Hanzhong and Shu were completely separated. After Fazheng confirmed this point, he immediately sent people to Chang'an to send the news to Lu Bu. He hoped that the imperial court would send someone to persuade Zhang Lu to surrender and bring Hanzhong to the imperial court. Then Fazheng also secretly provoked and united many people in Shu. If the imperial court accepted Zhang Lu smoothly, Fazheng would instigate Shu people to rebel against Liu Zhang as soon as possible.

Under the attack of both sides, as long as Jiange and Jiameng pass are taken down, even if Liu Zhang's side suppresses the rebellion, or the rebellion succeeds in breaking through Liu Zhang, the biggest obstacle for Lv Bu's march into the middle of Shu has been cleared. It was much easier for Lu Bu to enter Shu.

If Bashu is taken down, then Lu Bu will have the foundation of pre-Qin Xiong’s dominance of the world. From Shu, he can go down the river and attack Jingzhou directly. At the same time, Nanyang can also use his strength to take Jingzhou down. In this way, Lu Bu It is really divided into two parts of the world with the princes of the Kanto, and the overall strength such as population is no longer inferior to that of Yuan Shao. More importantly, Lu Bu can take the initiative, because the land under Lu Bu's jurisdiction is basically guarded by dangerous gates, and he can fight out at any time. The princes did not have the ability to call in at any time.

With the Son of Heaven in your hand and the opportunity to seize the opportunity, why worry about uncertainty in the world?

This is obviously different or even contrary to Lu Bu's previous strategy of flattening the Kanto region and finally establishing Shu, but it is indeed as Fa Zhengxin said, this is a god-given opportunity, and from this point of view, it is not unfeasible, the most difficult Shu The land is decided first, then the fight will be smoother and smoother.

"Everyone is here today, what do you think?" Lu Bu asked with a smile, looking at his four think tanks.

After Jia Xu read the letter, he smiled and said, "Attacking Shu is not easy, but if it succeeds, the imperial court will have no worries!"

Xun You nodded: "If it is true as Xiaozhi said, this plan is feasible."

"My lord, let's make a quick decision!" Guo Jia looked at Lu Bu. For this kind of thing, if it is late, there will be more changes, especially if the news reaches the Central Plains, there will naturally be people who will be aware of the changes in Shu, and will definitely be worried that Lu Bu will seize Shu. At that time, if the princes of the Central Plains join forces to attack, they will miss the best time to attack Shu.

Li Ru stroked his beard and said: "Master, breaking Shu not only needs a quick battle, but it is best to have the Lord come in person!"

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at Li Ru, "What does Wen You mean by that?"

"Guanzhong is still considered stable now, and the Lord and the people have the will of the people. It's okay to leave for a while. However, if you want to fight to settle Shu, you need to carefully consider how to govern Shu. It's best for the Lord to go and investigate in person." Li Ru said solemnly. road.

Although the policy implemented by Lu Bu will become more and more smooth in the later stage, there is a lot of resistance in the early stage, and the connection between Shu and Guanzhong is too weak. That Shu land is tantamount to fighting in vain.

To solve these problems, it is best for Lu Bu to go there in person. It is convenient for administration, and he can act cheaply. He does not have to ask for instructions when he has any problems like other people. Are you coming? Who will be guarded in the end? If you go there yourself, you can understand the truth.

The third is to let Lu Bu have a deep impression in the hearts of the Shu people, not to be able to support Lu Bu like the people in Guanzhong, but at least let the people in Shuzhong not dislike Lu Bu, and even have a certain degree of recognition, these are enough.

Of course, these things cannot be said in the face, otherwise, what would those who are qualified to be the generals who defeated Shu think?

Lu Bu obviously understood Li Ru's thoughts, nodded silently and said, "Wen You's words are not unreasonable, it seems that everyone is in favor of conquering Shu?"

The four nodded each other. In fact, Lu Bu also meant the same thing. They could see that after all, they had come to this point and made so many preparations. What is the purpose of destroying it? Take off your pants and fart?

"Since that's the case, who can lobby Zhang Lu?" Lu Bu looked at the four of them and asked with a smile.

"My lord, if you don't give up, you can give it a try." Xun You hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu clasped his fingers together, and after looking at Xun You for a while, he shook his head and said with a smile, "Everything in this pass cannot be separated from Gongda. If Gongda leaves, who will come to stabilize the rear for me?"

Although Xun You is sincere in perception, for a big family, personal sincerity and will cannot replace the will of the family. Lu Bu has complicated feelings about Xun You now. He wants to use it, but he dare not fully use it. Now Xun You It can be said that it is good intentions and has no other thoughts, but in the future there will always be a liquidation battle between Lu Bu and the aristocratic family. As the top aristocratic family, the Xun family must be dismantled and weakened. At that time, what will Xun You's position be?

After thinking about it again and again, Lu Bu still chose to let Xun You stay behind.

Not unavailable for the time being.

Guo Jia glanced at Xun You, sighed in his heart, and smiled at Lu Bu: "My lord, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is in a dilemma at this time. I don't think he doesn't want to join the court. Jia is willing to go and persuade the lord. This person is coming."

Lu Bu frowned slightly: "Feng Xiao has just returned, and he has to start again, I really can't bear it..."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jia Xu, not because he didn't believe Guo Jia, but because Guo Jia's current expression, even if he didn't understand medical skills, could tell that it wasn't appropriate, should Jia Xu, the fat old man, move a little bit? Yes, I wonder if the water can be squeezed out.

Jia Xu:"……"

This time, there is probably no way to escape.

Jia Xu felt helpless, bowed to Lu Bu and said, "My lord's words are very true, why don't you go and say it?"

"Wen He hasn't been out of Chang'an for a long time, so it's time to make a move." Lu Bu nodded in satisfaction, looked at Jia Xu and said, "Then I wish Wen He every success."

Jia Xu smiled wryly for a long time before nodding, "Here!"

After talking about the business, Lu Bu saw that Dian Wei was still reading Fazheng's letter, and asked curiously, "What's so puzzling about this letter?"

It is rare for Dian Wei to be eager to learn, and Lu Bu is ready to teach him a lesson.

"My lord, do you think the technique of amalgamation between men and women is really that powerful?" Dian Wei raised his head and looked at Lu Bu.

"I don't know if it's that powerful." Lu Bu looked at Dian Wei with black eyes and said, "Liu Yan died the year before last. You can ask him for advice when you have a chance. Go with Wenhe, take good care of Wenhe for me, if you lose a hair, you are the only one asking!"

"Go to Hanzhong?" Dian Wei looked blankly at Lu Bu, then at Jia Xu, what are you going there for?

"Just go along, don't talk too much." Lu Bu didn't want to talk to him, and said directly.

"Here!"
