Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu
Chapter 1481: Jingzhou messenger
Why doesn't Yi Ji want to show that the court is as proud as it should be? If the strength is not enough to support the pride, it will have the opposite effect. Yi Ji still understands this truth. Jingzhou is now weak, so he must show respect.
In terms of attitude, when Liu Biao inherited the throne, he was so high-spirited. However, after the imperial envoys arrived in Jinyang, they still had to be honest. Otherwise, Lu Bu would use his strength to make the so-called imperial envoys understand how to be honest.
Lu Bu was not surprised when he learned about Yi Ji's request for an audience. Now Xiangyang has been captured by Cao Cao. As expected, it will be difficult for Zhuge Liang to escape unscathed in Jingzhou. Cao Cao will not let Liu Bei's power in Jingzhou.
be preserved.
Jingzhou is rich and prosperous. If Cao Cao gets it, his own strength will be greatly improved. Of course, Jiangdong Sun Ce will not sit back and watch Cao Cao capture Jingzhou. The contradiction between the three parties will be revealed. At this time, he has already pacified Qingzhou.
, stabilized Jizhou, which was a great shock to the princes, but they knew that Chang'an's army would not be dispatched at this time, and its army needed to recuperate after successive battles.
"Let Yiji come in." Lu Bu said. Since returning to Chang'an, he has temporarily handed over the affairs of the tripartite envoys to Jia Xu, and he is responsible for handling some major problems that have arisen during the development of the Sanfu Land.
This situation made the envoys from the three parties a little frightened, and their attitude towards Jia Xu became more respectful.
However, Jia Xu understood Lu Bu's character. In terms of trust in his subordinates, other princes were far inferior to Lu Bu.
Of course, the thoughts of his ministers are seen as lazy behavior by Lu Bu, so sometimes Lu Bu is still a little apologetic when facing officials who are devoted to handling affairs day and night, but the officials regard this as trust. Without absolute trust
, how could the monarch be so assured of them?
"Meet the Marquis of Jin." Yi Ji bowed respectfully.
Lu Bu nodded and said: "Envoy, please take a seat. Since I returned to Chang'an, I have been busy with military affairs and have no time to see the envoys from the three parties."
"The Marquis of Jin is busy, but I am troubled by my humble position." Yi Ji said hurriedly. Although he was an envoy of the imperial court and had a distinguished status, Lu Bu was a general, ranked among the Marquis of Jin, and the most prominent figure among the Han officials.
"I wonder why the envoy came here? I have heard that Cao's army has captured Xiangyang, Jiangdong's army has captured Jiangxia and Changsha counties, and Wuling County is also in danger." Lu Bu said.
Yi Ji cupped his hands and said: "The Marquis of Jin is the great asset of the Han Dynasty. If the Marquis of Jin is willing to sell it to help the Han Dynasty, it will be the great fortune of the Han Dynasty."
Seeing the slightly excited Yi Ji, Lu Bu felt a little funny. At this point, is Jingzhou still trying to get help from Chang'an through this method?
Lu Bu said in a deep voice: "If I remember correctly, the reason why the princes united to attack Bingzhou was all because of the Han Dynasty. Since the Han Dynasty regarded me as a traitor, I did not regard myself as a traitor.
I am a minister of the Han Dynasty. If the Holy One is unkind, how can I blame the minister for being unjust?"
The powerful words made Guo Jia and Jia Xu's eyes brighten up. After Lu Bu said these words, he showed his ambition and was no longer satisfied with what the Han Dynasty could give. This is also a reasonable thing.
, If the Han Dynasty is strong, the princes will definitely be willing to do things to improve the situation. If the Han Dynasty is weak, few princes will be willing to provide help in times of need.
Yi Ji's expression changed again and again, and Lu Bu's words could definitely be called treasonous.
"When the princes' armies attacked Bingzhou, it was a matter of the late emperor. Even if the emperor is unkind, the ministers must be loyal, even if they die. This is the duty of the ministers of the Han Dynasty." Yi Ji retorted.
Lu Bu sneered and said: "If this is the case, please return the envoy to Jingzhou. I will not help you. How can Liu Qi and He De become the leader of the Han Dynasty? If I have such a heir, I will definitely not let him inherit the throne."
, What’s ridiculous is that Liu Bei actually said that Liu Qi was kind and a wise king who would revitalize the Han Dynasty.”
"Marquis of Jin, you..." Yi Ji's face turned red. If Jia Xu's performance when he received the envoy was superior, then Lu Bu's performance was absolutely strong.
Important officials such as Jia Xu and Guo Jia were shocked when they heard Lu Bu's words. Lu Bu's words may have been unintentional, but they conveyed a lot of meaning. Since ancient times, the eldest son has been given priority.
It is a rule left by the ancestors, so Liu Qi becoming the emperor is justified to a certain extent.
Lu Bu said: "Whether I send troops or not does not depend on the imperial court, but on the soldiers under my command. The people under my rule have nothing to do with the imperial court. Have I ever seen rewards from the imperial court over the years?
The soldiers under my command died on the battlefield, but have they ever been compensated by the imperial court?"
Yi Ji said: "Please Jin Hou respects himself."
After speaking, Yi Ji turned around and left. It can be seen that Lu Bu's words made him very angry. He had lowered his posture before because of the big man. Now that Lu Bu is relying on his own strength to be arrogant and unreasonable, he is going to
It shows the magnanimity of a Han envoy, but the current situation of the Han Dynasty is exactly as Lu Bu said, and it has no deterrent effect on the princes.
The officers and soldiers under the princes respect the princes far more than they respect the Han Dynasty. Their armor, weapons, weapons, and rice grains come from the princes and have nothing to do with the Han Dynasty.
Officials gradually began to pay less attention to the Han Dynasty.
Especially after Lu Bu awarded the generals under his command, Cao Cao and Sun Ce followed suit. No one wanted to fall behind others. There is a big difference between the imperial court's awards and the princes' own awards. The princes' awards can better reflect the status of the princes.
If the court awards rewards, it is possible for the officials and generals under their command to be grateful to the court. This is not what the princes want to see. What they need is control over the officials and military generals under their rule.
Just like Cao Cao led troops to attack Jingzhou, if the officials under his rule still feared the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao would definitely not be willing to make such a choice. This is the completely different effect of influence and lack of influence.
"What my lord just said made the Jingzhou envoy very angry." Guo Jia said with a smile.
Lu Bu said: "I am just an envoy from Jingzhou. I can stabilize my rule by relying on the bloodshed and sacrifice of the army officers, not the imperial court."
"The Lord's words are exactly right. Now there is an envoy from Cao's army, saying that after Cao's army captures Jingzhou, the Lord will be crowned King of Jin." Jia Xu said slowly.
