Rebirth of the God of War Lu Bu

After hearing this, all the officials in the court took a breath. Nowadays, it is common for princes to disobey the orders of the Han Dynasty. However, to be crowned king is a true rebellion in the eyes of the Han Dynasty. Lu Bu's attitude towards the court envoys can be described as arrogant and tough.

To describe it, however, it has a completely different meaning after becoming king.

Lu Bu said: "I already know about this matter."

Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other and nodded slightly. They wanted to subtly let Lu Bu proclaim himself king. Being king would allow the civil servants and generals under Lu Bu's rule to get rid of the influence of the Han Dynasty to the greatest extent.

The civil servants and generals were absolutely loyal to Lu Bu, but these alone were not enough. Many officials lacked momentum when facing the Han Dynasty, but after becoming king, it was different.

Pang Tong and other officials naturally understood the meaning of Jia Xu's words. For them, the title of king was also of great benefit, which meant that their official positions could be promoted to a greater extent and they would do greater things in the future.

To become king is to challenge the Han Dynasty's system. After success, what you will gain will be a more stable rule.

Lu Bu thought he had the strength to become king, but he would not do so when Jingzhou was in the most critical situation. He did not want to provoke the princes of the Central Plains at this time.

The matter about Lu Bu's treatment of the imperial envoys in Chang'an Mansion was spread in the city. Lu Bu frowned slightly after learning about this matter. Things in Chang'an Mansion are absolutely confidential. How could outsiders get the news?

After investigating, Lu Bu was dumbfounded.

It turned out that after Yi Ji walked out of Chang'an Mansion, he was extremely dissatisfied with Lu Bu's attitude. He secretly ordered the accompanying guards to tell the public about Lu Bu's behavior in Chang'an Mansion. He wanted the people to see Lu Bu's face clearly, so as to put pressure on Lu Bu.

.

However, the effect was to make Yi Ji feel ashamed. Most of the people in Chang'an actually agreed with Lu Bu's actions. This made Yi Ji extremely puzzled. These people were the subjects of the Han Dynasty. For such people who blatantly violated the orders of the Han Dynasty,

Still so respectful.

Many people have criticized the so-called envoys of the Han Dynasty. Where do most of the people in Sanfu come from? That is the place where Lu Bu's foundation is, Bingzhou. In front of the people of Bingzhou, they say that Lu Bu disobeyed the orders of the Han Dynasty.

You can imagine what kind of effect words will have.

The envoys from Cao Jun and Jiangdong had different feelings after hearing the people's discussion. If the same thing happened under the rule of Cao Cao and Sun Ce, it would definitely have different effects, at least when the people discussed this matter, it would not be like this.

Excited, what the people want is to have enough food and clothing. In the era of disputes between princes, being able to do this is already a very satisfying thing for them.

However, when they were in Chang'an, they saw different people. These were people who dared to express their opinions. These were people who were extremely supportive of the monarch. Even if Lu Bu became king at such a sensitive time, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to do so.

It won't cause too much turmoil under the rule.

The aristocratic family could only stay quietly under Lu Bu's rule. Although there were members of the aristocratic family in the officialdom, they did not have enough power.

Man Chong and Yu Fan had a deeper understanding of Lu Bu's various actions under their rule. When the princes thought that Lu Bu was a reckless man, Lu Bu was already ahead of them, and the distance between him and them was getting bigger and bigger.

Far away, in Chang'an, the two met the powerful Lu Bu.

At this time, the aristocratic family may still have a certain degree of influence, but it cannot influence Lu Bu's decision. It represents Lu Bu's will and cannot be violated.

Unlike Yi Ji, Man Chong met Lu Bu after a lot of hard work, and his behavior was extremely respectful, conveying Cao Cao's goodwill.

"I already know Meng De's intention. I originally supported Liu Cong's becoming the crown prince, but unexpectedly the Holy Emperor died suddenly, so that villains like Liu Bei seized Jingzhou and took control of the court." Lu Bu said.

Man Chong was overjoyed when he heard this. With Lu Bu's attitude, the rest of the matter became much simpler. "The Marquis of Jin and Shanyang Marquis said that if the Marquis of Jin supports Liu Cong's succession to the throne, he will go to the emperor and confer the title of Jin Marquis."

king."

Lu Bu smiled and said: "King of Jin? If Cao Cao doesn't want to be king?"

"With the reputation of the Marquis of Jin, and for the great achievements of the Han Dynasty, it is reasonable for him to be crowned the king." Man Chong said with a smile, no one is willing to take the lead in the matter of becoming king. After all, it is a complete rebellion of the Han Dynasty.

Whoever does this first will be the target of public criticism. As for Cao Cao's attitude towards becoming king, naturally he cannot reveal anything about it.

"If Meng De wants to become king, let's talk about it." Lu Bu said calmly.

Man Chong secretly admired that it was enough for Lu Bu to become king with his current strength. However, in this matter, Lu Bu still remained cautious enough. Of course, it can be seen from Lu Bu's attitude towards the Jingzhou envoy that Lu Bu was absolutely devoted to Liu Bei.

There is no good impression at all.

When Lu Bu led his army to compete with Liu Bei in Yizhou, there was already a rift between them, and Lu Bu must be determined to win Yizhou. If he occupied Yizhou, he would not only eliminate such a powerful enemy as Liu Bei, but also his strength would be even greater.

Other princes cannot compare. Letting Liu Bei bear some infamy at this time will be of great benefit to future actions.

Besides, Cao Cao dared to lead troops and horses to attack Jingzhou. As for the Qing emperor's side, it was just an excuse to fool ordinary people.

"The Marquis of Shanyang and the Marquis of Jin have known each other for a long time, and they have formed an alliance. Moreover, when the Marquis of Jin wiped out the rebellion in Qingzhou, the Marquis of Shanyang supported the Marquis of Jin." Man Chong said.

Lu Bu smiled slightly, Yuan Shao failed, and even became a traitor in the mouths of the envoys from the princes. If the same thing happened to him, it would be the same. He would succeed as a king and lose as a bandit. That's it.

"Let Meng De rest assured, I have no idea about Jingzhou for the time being." Lu Bu said.

"Thank you so much, Marquis of Jin." Man Chong said, "Marquis Shanyang has entrusted me with your request. I hope to purchase two thousand war horses and one thousand hundred-forged steel knives from the Marquis of Jin."

Lu Bu's eyes narrowed. When the two sides reached an alliance before, Cao Cao purchased the same number of war horses and two thousand hundred-forged steel knives from him. The craftsmen's workshop in Baibo Valley was already very skilled in making hundred-forged steel knives, and

With the support from the Liaodong iron mines, it is natural to be responsible for the forging of military weapons and the sales to the princes.

"Of course this can be done, but let the envoy discuss the specific matter with Mi Zhu." Lu Bu nodded and agreed.

After Man Chong left, Guo Jiadao said: "My lord, Cao Cao's plan is not trivial. If the Lord can make the lord king, it will definitely affect other princes. If the lord supports Cao Cao, he will get more benefits."
