Lu Bu never liked to be procrastinating when doing things, and he would finish things quickly and neatly, and he couldn't wait for half a day.

There are thousands of Liangzhou soldiers stationed at Meiwu. Fortunately, most of them are not wary of Bingzhou soldiers who are colleagues. The relationship between the soldiers and horses of the two sides is not good.

Lu Bu walked through the corridors with a calm expression, baring his fangs suddenly. After getting rid of Dong Zhuo, he immediately ordered to deal with the members of the Dong clan in Meiwu and the Liangzhou soldiers who were stationed in Meiwu. Kill the old thief and his family to vent their anger on the lord, and the lord will be happy when he finds out.

So what if there are so many soldiers in Liangzhou, Lu Fengxian's men are not enough to cut him down, but it's a pity that Jia Xu, who was specially mentioned by the lord, ran away.

It was the first time for Lu Bu to work for the new lord, and all he wanted was to do things perfectly. When he went to ask the lord to ask for credit, but found that a big fish had been missed, one can imagine how unwilling he was.

Yuan Huan guessed that Jia Xu would not stumble easily, so he was not surprised by this result. They were short of manpower, and all things were done by surprise. It would be a bit embarrassing for Lu Feng to catch the poisonous Jia Xu who had no plans.

Jia Wenhe's ability to live to a rare age in the chaotic times of the end of Han Dynasty is enough to show his ability. The biggest difference between this man and other counselors is that he cares less about the lives of the people than others.

A person who is full of talent and virtue is called a sage, a person who has both talent and virtue is a fool, a person who has virtue and virtue is called a gentleman, and a person who is talented and virtue is called a villain.

All the art of taking people is not enough to give them to sages and gentlemen. It is better to get fools than to get villains. 【1】

If you have talent but no virtue, it is difficult to use your talent, and if you are a little careless, you will burn yourself instead.

He was indeed envious of the strategy and intelligence of poison warriors, but he could only be envious. Jia Xu was too shrewd, such a slick and sophisticated old fox, he couldn't easily strike without full confidence.

It's not a big problem for Jia Wen and himself to run away. As long as Guo Si, Li Jue and other Dong Zhuo's cronies are put to death, and there is no army that can fool him, the people of Chang'an City are likely to escape the ensuing catastrophe.

The premise is that the court is reliable. If the court is not reliable, no one knows what will happen.

Dong Zhuo was killed, and the generals in the Liangzhou army were killed by Lu Bu. The crisis in Chang'an seemed to be resolved, but if Wang Yun thought he could sit back and relax in this way, and then pretended to be smart and did something stupid, then it was beyond their control .

Liangzhou lost Dong Zhuo, and there were Ma Teng, Han Sui and others.

Dong Zhuo was not idle when the Kwantung Allied Forces raised their banners and set up their battle formation. Yuan Shao and others gathered the [-] princes, and he also recruited famous people everywhere. There were not many famous people in the Central Plains who were willing to be recruited by him, but there were good ones in Xiliang. information.

Ma Teng, Han Sui and Dong Zhuo belonged to the generals of the frontier army. Seeing that Dong Zhuo was covering the sky with one hand in the Central Plains, they wanted to come over and lean against the big tree to enjoy the shade. As soon as Dong Zhuo handed over the olive branch, the two readily agreed.

When Li Jue and Guo Si occupied Chang'an, they exploited the people, leading to hunger and poverty. In just one or two years, the prices in Chang'an city skyrocketed. The scene of "people cannibalize each other, bones accumulate".

Ma Teng and Han Sui went out to Xiliang with them. Once the little emperor or Wang Situ in the court was stupid and wanted to use this uncontrollable army to quell the chaos in the Central Plains, Ma and Han would most likely become the second Dong Zhuo.

It's hard to persuade the damned ghost, if the court insists on dying, then he can't help it, but the people in Guanzhong are pitiful, and there is no peace every month and month.

"Jia Wen and his wits are scheming. We are weak now. Even if we detain him, we can't use him. Let him go." Yuan Huan comforted the gloomy Lu Bu, seeing that he was still downcast. , so he was given another job.

In name, they received a secret edict from the emperor, and after getting rid of Dong Zhuo, they had to hand in the spoils of war. Now that the mountains of gold, silver, treasures and food in Meiwu have not been touched, they will first withhold some of them and transport them away, so that they will not be able to pay the army when they recruit soldiers and horses. .

There are not only Liangzhou soldiers and Bingzhou soldiers in the capital, but also the capital army controlled by Huangfusong and others. They are useless when fighting Dong Zhuo, and they will definitely work hard when copying Dong Zhuo's house.

After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he looted the people and ransacked their homes wantonly. He might not even be able to tell how much gold and silver treasures were piled up in Meiwu.

Zhang Liao rolled his eyes, and couldn't help asking for orders, "Princess, I will go with Brother Fengxian."

Yuan Huan looked at the youthful silver-armored general, raised the corners of his lips and nodded in agreement, "Be careful on the road, don't make too much noise, I have sent someone to Anguo to contact the servants, and there will be someone to meet them when the time comes, Fu Yi and I will also It will pass soon."

Gao Shun originally thought of going to Meiwu by himself, but when Zhang Liao took the initiative to invite Ying, he thought that this kid had stayed in Meiwu for a long time, and he knew which storehouse was for gold, silver and jewelry and which storehouse was for grain. Down.

"Don't worry, my lord, Liao will not disgrace his life." Zhang Liao was so excited after getting the order, he ignored Lu Bu's cloudy face and pulled people away happily, "Hurry up, there are so many good things in Meiwu, we can't take advantage of others."

"One person is enough to escort food, fodder and military pay, what are you doing here?" Lu Bu was in a bad mood, and he didn't have a good look at his friends.

Zhang Liao had a wild temper and didn't care about his cold face at all. He dragged the person away and put his arms around his shoulders and whispered, "My lord, you want us to take some of it off and leave the rest to the little emperor. There are so many in Meiwu." Things, are you willing to leave those to the little emperor?"

Although the lord of their family has been disappointed with the imperial court, his disposition cannot be changed in a short while. Even if he no longer devotes himself to serving the country, he will subconsciously think of the little emperor. If someone with a big appetite comes here, it is not bad to save the little emperor from suffering. How could it be possible to leave food for him.

That is to say, the lord of their family is beautiful and kind-hearted, and he is worried about whether the ministers in the court will be hungry when he is about to leave the capital and be released as an official.

Lu Bu nodded thoughtfully, "What you said makes sense. Anyway, my lord didn't say how much to leave for the little emperor. It's not a violation of the law if we take more."

Taking [-]% is taking, and taking [-]% is also taking. The imperial soldiers and horses are exhausted and don't need much food, so they just go too far, and take [-]%.

Yingchu explained the words, and the breeze was blowing, but Yuan Huan was still wrapped in thick fox fur, looking out of place among the soldiers in light single clothes.

Dong Zhuo is dead, and the emperor is coming, and the matter seems to have settled, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dong Zhuo's troubles in Kyoto are just the beginning.

The Yellow Turban Uprising has not yet completely subsided, and the princes from all walks of life began to support themselves again. The court was unable to suppress the successive rebellions. No one knew whether there would be a second Dong Zhuo.

Yuan Huan didn't go to Chang'an to accept the award in person. He felt that the surname he gave was obvious enough that smart people could guess his identity.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had already fought fiercely. If they found out that their eldest brother was not dead at this time, they would tear up the fig leaf completely in anger. In order to get rid of the eldest brother and attack Chang'an, no one in the capital could stop the soldiers of the two brothers.

The little emperor might not be able to think that much, but Wang Situ could.

Wang Yun is waiting to get rid of Dong Zhuo and monopolize the power in the court. It is best for the Yuan brothers to kill each other. Only when the snipe and the clam fight can the fisherman benefit. The Yuan family does not have the patriarch Yuan Shiji, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu can fight , now that Yuan Shiji took the initiative to hide his name and ask to be released, why not do it?

Under Wang Situ's arrangement, Yuan Huanyao's official position was quickly put in place. Dong Zhuo's head had just been delivered, and the appointment edict and official seal of the prefect of Zhongshan came to him the next day.

The former king of Zhongshan had no heirs, the Zhongshan Kingdom was condemned for rebellion, and the location of that place was dangerous. At this time, there were very few Han clansmen who dared to make fiefdoms in places adjacent to foreign races. The little emperor couldn't choose anyone. After discussing with Wang Yun, he simply restored Zhongshan Kingdom to Zhongshan County.

Lu Bu took the lead in killing Dong Zhuo, moved Fenwu General, Yitong Third Division, made Wenhou, Gao Shun was promoted to Zhonglang General, only Zhang Liao stayed in front of Yuan Huan, had no chance to make meritorious service, and his official position did not change.

At first, Yuan Huan was afraid that Zhang Liao would feel wronged, so he called him to his side to comfort him, but before he could speak, Zhang Liao began to comfort him.

This brat was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable when he heard that Lv Bu was enfeoffed as the Marquis of Wen with a higher title than him, so he did not dare to speak loudly, as if Lv Fengxian was going to part ways with them in the next moment.

Not to mention the gold content of the title given by the little emperor, just looking at the number of households in Shiyi, one can tell that Lu Bu's Marquis Wen just sounds nice, but it doesn't actually bring him much benefit.

Shiyi is a fief that the imperial court assigns to the clan or trusted ministers as Shilu. The word "Shilu" is enough to show that it cannot be operated in a year or two. Lu Bu has no servants to take care of the fief for him. It is estimated that he will wait until the title is lost. They can't get the rent tax of the land-feuding peasant households.

The world is in chaos, government orders are blocked, the imperial court itself cannot be guaranteed, and taxes from counties and counties are not sent to the capital, not to mention that the best fertile land in various places is owned by aristocratic families.

The aristocratic clan has titles and food towns, and is not under the jurisdiction of counties and counties. It was okay when the emperor was in power, but now the emperor's abolition and establishment are in the hands of powerful officials. Officials in counties and counties even have to rely on those aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years.

Troubled soldiers, officials in counties and counties are not fools, powerful families can make them bow their heads, as long as a military general like Lu Bu who has risen from the army, as long as he doesn't personally go to the fief to ask, the farmers in the fief will never know that there is him like him people.

The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, the original owner was young and only inherited the title left by the previous generation. He hadn't had time to be promoted and added a noble title, but even so, after several generations of struggle, the food city under his name has exceeded a thousand households.

Yuan Huan helplessly explained the twists and turns to the silly boy, and felt that he who was worried that this person would be unhappy because of his official position was also stupid enough.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao took most of their troops to search for the gold, silver, grain and grass in Meiwu. Yuan Huan stayed outside the city for half a day and asked Gao Shun to arrange for the bodies of the Yuan clan to be buried in their hometown in Runan. He and the little guy Yuan Jing If you don't go back, the clansmen who died in the capital will have to return to their roots.

The pale young man wrapped in fox fur stood in front of the door, watching the soldiers carry out the corpses of the Yuan clan hidden in Meiwu one by one and put them into the coffin. When he went down, people couldn't help worrying whether he would float away with the setting sun.

After a few words, the sun had already set from above his head. Yuan Huan rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, feeling that everything had been arranged properly, so he ordered the loyal general next to him to pack his luggage and prepare to leave.

The imperial court was not safe, they had to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and if they couldn't get to a place where he could relax and recuperate, his body would not be able to hold on anymore.

Gao Shun didn't agree with driving at night. The last time he drove in the daytime, he tossed half his life. He couldn't see the way at night and it was even worse. He was afraid that this person would be too sick to get up if he didn't reach Jizhou. "My lord, night The dew is heavy, and the young master has already fallen asleep, how about setting off tomorrow morning?"

Yuan Huan was silent for a while, unwilling to let the little guy accompany him in the bumps, and told Gao Shun to wake him up in time tomorrow, and then dragged his drowsy body to wash and rest.

The moonlight was shining, and Gao Shun worriedly watched the frail lord enter the house. He didn't disturb the others, and went to the doctor himself to ask about the situation.

Seeing the corpses of the Yuan family members, the lord was so emotionally disturbed that he felt sad, so they stayed for a few more days to recover their health before talking about going to Jizhou.

Yuan Huan's body is too weak, and the disease doctor has never been too far away. No matter what time, just call him and he will appear in front of him immediately, and he will never waste time.

Gao Shun found the disease doctor, saw that the prescription had been changed countless times on the table, looked away and asked in a low voice, "How is the body of these gods?"

The disease doctor sighed, "General, my lord was not healed from his serious injury before, if he is healthy, he may be able to take care of him for three to five years, but these days, he is injured, sick and bumpy, so your lord is already in trouble. Deficiency of vital energy and weak body, and you have to expend energy and energy to plan big things, how can you take care of your body like this day after day?"

Gao Shun clenched his fists, and asked after a while, "If my lord leaves for Jizhou tomorrow, will his body be able to hold it?"

"I can't hold it anymore and I can't go on like this." Ji Yi frowned, remembering the pulse that came out when he took the pulse this morning, the three right pulses showed subtle, floating, weak, scattered, and short knots, an obvious loss of vitality Overthinking, "General, my lord has been restless and depressed all the time. No matter how much medicine he takes, it will be useless. He must be allowed to recuperate with peace of mind. As long as the depression in his chest is dissipated, taking medicine will get twice the result with half the effort."

Gao Shun lowered his eyes, his expression was obscure, "I'll arrange a car."

The vicinity of the capital is indeed not a good place. Thief Dong massacred members of the Yuan clan in Chang'an, only the lord and the young master survived. It is inevitable that the lord will have a heart disease if he stays here, so it is better to leave as soon as possible.

Zhongshan is thousands of miles away from Runan. With their soldiers and horses and the status of the lord, they are enough to gain a firm foothold there. However, not far from Zhongshan is Bohai County. Yuan Shaoyuan was originally the prefect of Bohai. To have a conflict.

Or is the lord planning to take Yuan Shao under the knife?

Gao Shun shook his head to get rid of the messy thoughts in his mind, no matter what the lord was going to do, the premise was that they arrived at Zhongshan safely.

There is a curfew in Chang'an City, although in the current situation, no one can be seen in the city at night whether there is a curfew or not.

Xun You took his servants out of the city and followed the route he had inquired all the way to the outside of the city. When he saw the heavily guarded soldiers beside the official road, he paused, and then ordered the groom to stop, "Wait here, don't get out of the carriage."

The groom and the servants in the carriage responded in a low voice, watching him step by step towards the soldiers who were covered in fear, their eyes full of worry.

When Gao Shun heard the news, he came out in a hurry, recognized the tall and straight young man under the moonlight, and signaled his subordinates to let him in, "Xun Shilang."

In the sixth year of Zhongping, the general He Jin was in charge of the government, and more than [-] people including Xun You, a famous scholar from home and abroad, were recruited. After Xun You arrived in Luoyang, he worshiped the servant of Huangmen.

"General Gao." Xun You looked at Gao Shun quietly, walked into the unknown encirclement calmly, and said slowly, "Come here late at night, just want to visit the former prefect."

Gao Shun frowned slightly, and just smiled politely, "It's getting late, the lord is not in good health to rest, if Minister Xun has something to do, let's talk about it when the lord gets up tomorrow."

"Thank you, General." Xun You's heart tightened when he heard that his body was not safe, so he just followed Gao Shun to find a place to sit down at random, and then stared at the teacup in front of him lost in thought.

No sleep for one night.

In the twilight of the morning, Yuan Huan opened his eyes without waiting for someone to shout, his pale face was bloodless, these days he was exhausted, and the dizziness from time to time tormented him a lot.

Tao Ji came in lightly and waited for him to wash up. Seeing that his complexion was worse than the previous few days, she was worried. Yuan Huan wrapped up in fox fur and went out. The morning air was cool, and he took a deep breath to cool his heart and lungs. He couldn't control it. Coughing hard.

Gao Shun hurried over to help him, and only after he recovered his breathing did he whisper the news that Xun You had come.

"Xun Gongda?" Yuan Huan raised his eyebrows, the surprise in his eyes was fleeting, and soon turned into a smile, "Hurry up and ask him to come here."

He was probably sick and confused, he only thought of Jia Xu, a poisonous man who counted all strategies, but he forgot that there was also a wise and foolish strategist Cao Wei in the capital. The cabbages in the pot are waiting for someone to dig.

The little guy Yuan Jing on the small bed woke up leisurely, fluttering his little hands to hug him, Yuan Huan walked over and stuffed the little guy back into the bed, squeezed the pink and tender little face, and successfully pinched the confused little guy awake.

When Xun You came in, he saw this pale young man who looked like an exiled immortal holding the little baby's hand, with a smile on his face and a soft tone, "Speaking of seniority, Jing'er still wants to call Gongda elder brother."

Xun You: ...

The author has something to say:

Yuan Huan: Great!nephew!son!
