Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

But Hua Yu had no choice but to ride with Dong Bai back to the Champion Hou's mansion.

Afterwards, Dong Zhuo also hurriedly left Gongwu, went to Chang'an, returned to the Grand Master's Mansion, and went to discuss with Li Ru and Tian Yi about sending troops to merge the state.

As soon as Dong Zhuo entered the Grand Master's Mansion, Li Ru and Tian Yi heard the news and went out to greet him.

Dong Zhuo waved his hand: "Go, let's talk in the study."

"Grand Master, great joy, great joy." Li Ru said with a smile as soon as they entered the study door, before the three of them sat down.

Dong Zhuo was taken aback, and asked, "Wen You, where does the joy come from?"

Li Ru replied: "After the defeat of Jiguan, the princes of the Guandong have dispersed due to the drought in Jizhou and the lack of food and grass.

"Ah..." Dong Zhuo was taken aback first, and then laughed loudly, "Okay, this is really good news. The alliance of the princes of the Kanto region is broken up, and I can sleep peacefully from now on."

Tian Yi also said with a smile: "The princes of the Guandong are short of food and grass, it is a good time for the Taishi soldiers to go out of Hangu."

Hearing Tian Yi mention the use of soldiers, Dong Zhuo remembered the purpose of returning to Chang'an in a hurry this time, and immediately said: "I returned to Chang'an alone today, but encountered a difficult problem, which is related to the use of soldiers. I am looking for your two friends." Let's discuss it."

Seeing Dong Zhuo's serious face, Li Ru immediately said, "Grand Master, please speak."

When the three of them came to the study, Dong Zhuoping retreated to the left and right, and said in a low voice: "Ziyi came back from Hedong, and went to Gongwu first, to ask for a battle against Gu, saying that he wanted to recover Bingzhou for Gu."

"Ah..." Li Ru and Tian Yi were both taken aback.

Li Ru immediately asked, "Why did Ziyi suddenly have such an idea?"

At this moment, a voice came from outside the door: "Report to Grand Master, General Niu Fu, Governor of Hedong, has a letter."

Tian Yi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "My lord, there must be an answer in Niu Fu's letter."

Li Ru went out, brought in Niu Fu's letter, and handed it to Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo opened the letter, read it carefully, and handed the letter to Li Ru and Tian Yi with a big smile: "I see."

Li Ru and Tian Yi read the letter together, and immediately understood.

"What a song "Manjianghong"." Li Ru praised, "Such a poem with such lofty sentiments can only be created by an invincible general like Ziyi."

Tian Yi also nodded: "My lord, Ziyi's ambition is all contained in this song "Manjianghong"."

"Ma Teng and Han Sui have already become big, unified all the tribes in Liangzhou, and became princes of their own."

"Although the two of them are still under the lord's old department in name, they are obedient to the lord's orders."

"My lord ordered Ma and Han to launch an army crusade against Bingzhou, but they opened their mouths to ask for money, food, and equipment. It is clear that they are taking advantage of the fire to loot."

"If the predicament of Bingzhou is not solved, and foreign races may go south to Sili at any time, the situation in Chang'an is still not optimistic."

"From my point of view, if Ziyi can really defeat the coalition forces of the Southern Huns, Western Xianbei and Wuhuan, and recover Bingzhou, it will not only enhance the prestige of the lord, but also make Ma Teng and Han Sui feel jealous and dare not have any disagreements with the lord. Not a bad thing.”

Li Ru sighed: "Grand Master, I have something to tell Grand Master, which is also related to Hua Ziyi."

Dong Zhuo smiled and said, "When did Wenyou learn to be such a mother-in-law, please tell me quickly."

"Grand Master, there have been rumors in Chang'an City recently that Ziyi was in the Luoyang Imperial Palace and passed on the imperial jade seal privately."

"Ah..." Dong Zhuo was taken aback immediately, startled and angry, "Wen You, is this rumor true?"

Li Ru shook his head slightly: "I have sent people to investigate this matter, but there is no result for the time being, so I dare not act rashly."

Dong Zhuo frowned, and kept beating on the table with his right hand: "If this is true, then Hua Ziyi must be a wolf with ambition, he must not be kept, and must be removed immediately."

"But it is also possible that someone deliberately framed him, and wanted to use Gu's hand to get rid of Ziyi and destroy the Great Wall himself. We must guard against it."

"My lord's words are true." Tian Yi nodded, "From my guess, those who came up with this plan must be the princes of the Guandong."

"However, if there is no internal response in Chang'an, how can the princes of the Guandong succeed in Chang'an?"

Dong Zhuo's heart skipped a beat, and he said angrily, "Could it be that you belong to the royalists?"

Tian Yi shook her head lightly: "This should not be taken lightly, we have to wait for the people sent by Wenyou to investigate clearly."

"Hmph." Dong Zhuo snorted angrily, "No matter who this person is, I will definitely tear him to pieces."

Suddenly, Dong Zhuo remembered something again, and immediately asked: "Since there is a matter of passing on the jade seal of the country, the leading general of the conquest of Bingzhou must be carefully considered."

"However, among the generals under Gu's command, there is no other general in Liangzhou's lineage who can stand on his own except Ziyi."

"He Jin, Wu Kuang and Zhang Zhang in the old department, once had a close relationship with the Yuan family, and they cannot be granted military power."

"In this way, there is only the Bingzhou lineage, but Lu Bu is a native of Bingzhou. If he leads his troops back, wouldn't it be a bad thing once he separates the regime?"

"Then Lu Bu is in Chang'an. He has only one wife and one daughter. They can be separated. I'm afraid it will be difficult to control."

"But if Ziyi is used, if he really hides the Jade Seal of Chuanguo privately and has other ambitions, he will lose tens of thousands of Xiliang's elite alone."

Li Ru nodded: "Hua Ziyi is the generation of Qianlong, not a person who has lived under others for a long time. Once he has the opportunity, he will definitely ascend to heaven."

"If he is given a chance this time to conquer Bingzhou, once he succeeds, the land of Bingzhou will be under his control."

"If he has a rebellious heart, cuts off and merges the state to stand on his own, and becomes a prince of one side, the Grand Master will restrain him with the law."

Can't restrain him?
Generally speaking, the lord restrains the generals under his command to prevent them from supporting themselves, basically detaining their family members.

However, since Hua Xiong's death, Hua Yu has no real family.

The old housekeeper, Hua An, is nothing more than a servant.

The Du family, and the concubine Tang and the Zou family that Dong Zhuo rewarded are just a few women.

In troubled times, as long as there is land, an army, and wealth, are you afraid that there will be no women?

Therefore, once Huayu occupied Bingzhou, once he wanted to separate himself, Dong Zhuo could not control him at all.

Dong Zhuo thought for a while and asked, "Then Concubine Tang..."

Li Ru smiled wryly: "The Tang concubine is indeed a means to restrain Hua Yu."

"It's just that Tang Concubine's strategy must be that Hua Yu is still under the control of the Grand Master, and he must be in Chang'an."

"In this way, once Hua Yuxing betrays the grand master, the grand master can use this as an excuse to raise troops to kill him."

"And if Hua Yu went north and escaped from the control of the grand master, he would definitely say that he was persecuted by the grand master."

"Hua Yu's ability is known to all the princes of the Kanto."

"If Hua Yu made the alliance a condition, how would Yuan Shao and others care about an abandoned concubine?"

"At that time, Hua Yu will become the vanguard general of the Kanto princes, how can the grand master resist?"

Dong Zhuo's expression changed drastically immediately, if Hua Yu joined the princes of the Guandong, then Dong Zhuo would not be far from death.

At this time, Dong Zhuo had to accept the fact that Hua Yu was capable of making great achievements.

Dong Zhuo's subordinates are like a cloud of generals, such as the Liangzhou faction, the Bingzhou faction, and He Jin's old department. Together, there are dozens of people.

But among these dozens of generals, there are quite a few generals, and they are no match for Hua Yu.
