Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 1144: Visiting Li Su

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "I have no interest in who is the emperor in Jingzhou now."

Zhang Mao's expression froze slightly. Lu Bu was talking about the emperor of Jingzhou, not the emperor of the Han Dynasty. It can be seen that Lu Bu did not recognize the status of the Jingzhou royal family. Also, if the same thing happened to him, he would also understandably complain.

of.

"General, no one can make mistakes without being a sage. When the general was in Xiangyang, the Cai family was very helpful. I hope the general will help because of his past friendship with the Cai family. If things can work out,

, the general can be the king of Jin." Zhang Mao said.

Hearing these words, the corners of Jia Xu's eyes kept trembling. From Zhang Mao's rhetoric, we can see how weak the current Han Dynasty is. In order to win over the princes, he even promised the throne. Since Emperor Gaozu, whenever there is a king with a different surname,

, will be punished by the people of the world. Of course, the temptation to become a king is also huge. There is an essential difference between splitting the earth to become a king and splitting the earth to become a prince.

The king has absolute power over his subjects. Even the royal family cannot interfere with the affairs of the territory. The king can have his own army.

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "Zhang Taichang said this because he wanted to push me to the forefront of the storm and claim the title of king. I have never thought of supporting Liu Cong and let me think about it before making a decision."

Lu Bu looked down upon the Jingzhou royal family. Mainly from the news coming from Yanzhou, Cao Cao had the intention to support Liu He. Once Cao Cao supported Liu He in Yanzhou, you can imagine what it would do to the world.

In the turmoil, the last trace of the Han Dynasty's dignity will be gone.

"The safety of the Han Dynasty depends entirely on the general." Zhang Mao saluted again.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, but did not express too much. At this time, Bingzhou was already in the spotlight, and getting involved in Jingzhou's affairs would have to bear certain risks. After all, the emperor of the Han Dynasty at this time was Liu Qi. Support

If Liu Cong succeeds, he will receive certain benefits; if he fails, he will suffer infamy.

When you are in a certain position, you need to consider all aspects of the issue.

Lu Bu's attitude made Zhang Mao deeply worried. If he could not get Lu Bu's support, the situation would be extremely unfavorable for Liu Cong. Literati criticized Lu Bu verbally and writtenly, but they could not ignore the energy contained in Lu Bu, especially in recent times, Youzhou and Jizhou

, the massive recruitment of troops in Bingzhou and Chang'an made the princes even more frightened.

In the Battle of Huguan, Lu Bu had already demonstrated the powerful combat effectiveness of the Bingzhou Army. At that time, the Bingzhou Army defeated Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army without even mobilizing the Youzhou Army. The Youzhou Army had made great achievements on the battlefield, and no one had ever done so.

Dare to ignore the strength of Youzhou Army at this time.

Zhang Mao decided to go around Bingzhou's senior officials. If he could persuade the important officials under Lu Bu, it would be a good idea.

In the afternoon, Zhang Mao went to Li Su's residence. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, since Lu Bu had Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Gu Yong and others, his importance to Li Su had decreased a lot, but Zhang Mao didn't think so.

As the counselor who initially followed Lu Bu, Li Su had a high status in Lu Bu's heart. Although he didn't know what Li Su was responsible for in Bingzhou, he expected it to be very important.

The ability of a counselor or official is important, but sometimes the monarch is more concerned about the loyalty of his subordinates. Only a loyal subordinate can make the monarch feel at ease.

Li Su was a little confused about Zhang Mao's visit. It was said that Lu Bu had not agreed to Jingzhou's proposal for the time being. Even if Zhang Mao was walking around Bingzhou, he should go to Jia Xu's place.

Facing Zhang Mao, Li Su couldn't find fault with his etiquette. In any case, Zhang Mao was the Taichang of the Han Dynasty and one of the nine ministers. In the past, he was a very important official. Of course, today's Han Dynasty is

Anyone with a little discernment can clearly see any situation. These official positions have become a means for the Han Dynasty to win over the princes. As long as you have enough strength, you can get an official position.

After sitting down, Li Su said with a smile: "The humble abode is so simple, it makes Mrs. Zhang smile."

Zhang Mao cupped his hands and said: "As a high-ranking official under the command of the Marquis of Jin, Mr. Li can be so frugal. I admire you greatly."

Entering Li Su's mansion really touched Zhang Mao a lot. Li Su's status in Bingzhou is definitely very high. From a distance, the mansion looks solemn, but after walking into the mansion, it is not as luxurious as imagined.

Even the residences of some officials in Jingzhou are not as prosperous as Jinyang. As everyone knows today, as a high-ranking official in Bingzhou, it is very simple for Li Su to make his residence more luxurious. Perhaps as long as he shows a trace of

Meaning, it can make the officials below flock to you.

"The Marquis of Jin once said that no matter how luxurious the palace is, the resting place is just a room. It doesn't matter how luxurious it is, as long as you feel comfortable." Li Su said.

"The words of the Marquis of Jin are very true. If all the officials of the Han Dynasty can be like Mr. Li, the Han Dynasty will be prosperous."

Knowing clearly that Zhang Mao's words were flattering, Li Su felt relieved and said with a smile: "Zhang Taichang came to the humble residence in person, he must have something important to do, right?"

"Master Li, I believe you have some understanding of the current situation of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei controls the military power and acts arbitrarily in the Han Dynasty, which has caused complaints from Han Dynasty officials. Liu Bei at this time is very similar to Dong Zhuo at the time." Zhang Mao said:

"The Marquis of Jin is a high-ranking minister of the Han Dynasty. The late emperor was seriously ill. General Cai Mao, under the instigation of the Kuai family, sent troops to merge with the state. In fact, the officials of the Han Dynasty were opposed to sending troops to attack the state. The Marquis of Jin is the great general of the Han Dynasty.

Also, he was in charge of the deployment of troops and horses in the world, and he wiped out the rebels in Chang'an at that time. What a loyal minister."

Li Su secretly sneered. The princes attacked Bingzhou because they were afraid of the strength of the Bingzhou army. As for Jingzhou's claim that it was instigated by the Kuai family, it was completely nonsense. It was just to find a suitable excuse for the original mistake and to have a little discernment.

People can judge whether this statement is true or false. The princes jointly attacked Bingzhou, but the Han Dynasty made peace with it and even took away Lu Bu's official position and title.

"Zhang Taichang just said it." Li Su said calmly.

"If the general can support the young prince Liu Cong at this time, the Han Dynasty will be prosperous. Although Liu Qi is the eldest prince, he drinks too much and indulges in wine and sex all day long. What happened outside Xiangyang City must be something that Li

Sir, you must have heard something." Zhang Mao whispered, Liu Qi once had a conflict with Lu Bu because of the daughter of the Qiao family, this incident is a good entry point, which can definitely arouse the resentment of Bingzhou officials.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhang Mao's words, Li Su narrowed his eyes slightly and kept thinking about the impact if Bingzhou supported Liu Cong.
