After Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang 'an, the dukes returned to their respective territories.
He had thought that he would be able to reap a lot of benefits from this expedition, but he hadn't expected Luoyang to be completely looted by Dong Zhuo. Come in high spirits and go back in low spirits. Naturally, there were people who were jealous of other people's horses and rations.
First, Liu Dai, the prefect of Yanzhou, borrowed grain from Qiao Mao, the prefect of Dongjun. Qiao Mao naturally did not lend it and found an excuse to decline. Liu Dai flew into a rage and led his army to raid Qiao Mao's camp in the middle of the night. He killed Qiao Mao, summoned his army of more than ten thousand, and seized his East County.
Liu Dai's actions were like an wake-up call, waking up all the dukes who were still sleeping. Thus, all the states in the world began to fight.
Gongsun Zan had died at Hulao Pass, and the court was in chaos. His position as the prefect of Beiping fell to his younger brother Gongsun Yue, which naturally made many people jealous.
Yuan Shao, who was in Bohai Sea, was immediately tempted when he heard the news. All the elite soldiers that Gongsun Zan had trained over the years had been destroyed at Tiger Cage Pass. Gongsun Yue had just taken office, so he could take the opportunity to attack and occupy Youzhou. Therefore, Yuan Shao wrote a letter to Han Fu, the herdsman of Jizhou, to borrow food and soldiers. Han Fu naturally agreed and immediately sent people to send troops and food.
Yuan Shao's advisor Feng Ji said to Yuan Shao,""A real man can roam freely in the world. How can he wait for others to send food to support the army? Jizhou is rich in money and food, with strong soldiers and horses. General, why don't you take advantage of the opportunity to destroy the swan? First occupy Jizhou, then take Youzhou, return to the south, and the world will be settled.”
"Do you have any good ideas?" Yuan Shao was immediately tempted. The goal of dominating the world was too tempting.
"You can bring elite soldiers to Jizhou City and use the opportunity to thank Han Fu to lure him into the camp and kill him. Then, you can take the opportunity to capture Jizhou City. Jizhou City can be the top.”Feng Ji whispered into Yuan Shao's ear.
"Alright, tomorrow I will bring Yan Liang, Wen Chou and five thousand soldiers to Jizhou!”Yuan Shao said excitedly.
Yuan Shao wanted to come to Jizhou City to thank her, so Han Fu did not have any objections. However, many of the officials under him tried to dissuade them, and they were all scolded out of the Prefecture Overseer's Office by Han Fu. Thus, more than thirty people resigned and left. Guan Chun and Geng Wu had no choice but to rush to the camp outside the city that night to gather their troops in case of an accident.
The next day, Yuan Shao arrived at the city of Jizhou. Han Fu brought more than a hundred people out of the city to welcome him. Before they could exchange a few pleasantries, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, who were behind Yuan Shao, each led a team of soldiers to surround Han Fu's men and killed them in a moment.
Until Yuan Shao's sword pierced through Han Fu's body, he still could not believe that Yuan Shao would come to kill him. After all, he was an old official of the Yuan Clan. He had relied on the Yuan Clan's help to become the Prefecture Overseer.
Guan Chun and Geng Wu were still a step too late. By the time they led their troops to the city, Yuan Shao had already occupied it. Left with no choice, the two of them could only lead their troops south and occupy Guangping, Yangping, and Wei County to resist Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao didn't care about their actions and let Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Xu You, and Feng Ji manage the state affairs. He gathered 50,000 men and charged towards Beiping County.
This time, Feng Ji was a little unhappy. He was the one who came up with the plan to seize Jizhou, but Yuan Shao did not reward them according to their achievements. Instead, he ranked the three of them ahead of him.
When Gongsun Yue saw Yuan Shao's troops arrive, he knew that he was no match for them. He immediately implemented the tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. He also sent a large amount of money and grain to the Xianbei tribe's Kobineng, asking him to send troops to help.
Kobineng was still a hot-blooded young man and had yet to agree with the entire Xianbei tribe. However, he was already the leader who was the most skilled in battle among the ancestors 'tribes. When he received Gongsun Yue's request for help, he realized that this was a rare opportunity for his tribe, so he immediately agreed. However, he took the opportunity to extort a large number of weapons from Gongsun Yue. The forging standards of the Xianbei tribe were very backward, so their weapons were also very backward. If he could get a good weapon, he would definitely be able to unify the Xianbei tribe. Therefore, after receiving Gongsun Yue's weapons, he immediately led ten thousand soldiers south and charged into Youzhou.
At this time, the southern part of the Central Plains, the Jiangnan area, which had always been peaceful, had also become a battlefield for the vassals.
Liu Biao, the governor of Jingzhou, was also a radical figure. Ever since he came to Jing State, through a series of personnel arrangements and marriages, he had also seized the power of Jing State. However, the local prefect was like a fishbone stuck in his throat, making Liu Biao unable to sleep in peace. And the one guarding it was the Governor of Changsha, Sun Jian.
This time, Sun Jian returned to Changsha with heavy casualties. Liu Biao knew that his opportunity had come. Therefore, he immediately ordered Jiangxia Prefecture Governor Huang Zu to lead the army to Changsha.
Sun Jian's leg injury has not recovered, and met Huang Zu attack. Knowing that he couldn't resist, he sent his younger brother Sun Jing to Nanyang to ask Yuan Shu for help.
Yuan Shu had originally planned to attack Yangzhou, wanting to occupy this land of fish and rice. However, due to the lack of food, he borrowed food from Liu Biao, but was naturally rejected. Yuan Shu held a grudge in his heart, but Liu Biao was strong and powerful, so he naturally did not dare to provoke him. Now, Sun Jian had attracted a lot of Liu Biao's forces, so they could attack from both sides. He immediately agreed to Sun Jing's alliance and sent his troops to attack Jing State.
Chang 'an, in the Imperial Palace.
Dong Zhuo saw the report from the scouts and knew that the dukes were in chaos. He immediately became happy. He could not wait for the dukes to fight so that it would be convenient for him to declare himself emperor.
Li Ru took the opportunity to suggest,"Grand Preceptor, why don't we add fuel to the fire now and make them even more chaotic?"”
"Oh?" Dong Zhuo glanced at Li Ru, whose eyes were shining, and asked,""How?"
Li Ru took two steps forward and pointed at the map on the table."Right now, Yuan Shao is attacking Youzhou. In the name of the emperor, we'll appoint Yuan Shao as the herdsman of Jizhou and Gongsun Yue as the governor of Youzhou. Cao Cao was then made the prefect of Dongjun and had to fight Liu Dai. Nanyang was a big county of Jingzhou, and Jingzhou City was in Nanyang. Liu Biao could only manage Jingzhou affairs in Xiangyang. Now that they are fighting because of Sun Jian, we can fan the flames. We can use the Yellow Turban rebellion in Xiangyang and Jiangxia as an excuse to let Yuan Shu quell the rebellion. He will definitely do his best to fight Liu Biao. Jingzhou is much richer than Yangzhou.”
After hearing Li Ru's words, Dong Zhuo immediately beamed with joy and said loudly,"Haha, that's great. It's really like adding oil to the fire and driving the tiger to swallow the wolf. Good son-in-law, you're really my Zhang Zifang! I'll leave this matter to you. When the dock is completed, I'll confer you the title of Prime Minister. Haha, the world will change its surname to Dong.”
"Grand Preceptor, if we want to facilitate this, we must send an envoy to the Jing State. Otherwise, the effect will not be good.”Li Ru wanted to be promoted, so he naturally couldn't forget his good brother Lu Bu. He immediately began to drug him.
"Oh? Then who do you think we should send as the emissary?" Dong Zhuo also felt that when the imperial edict was passed, there would naturally be an emissary to announce it.
"Gongsun Yue in the north, you can ask Zhao Qi to go and announce the decree. However, the war in the south was endless. He needed a person who was skilled in both literature and martial arts.”Li Ru carefully suggested. He didn't want Lu Bu to suddenly appear again and make all his previous efforts go to waste.
"That's true. Then who do you think is suitable to send to the south?”Dong Zhuo wasn't stupid. The Yellow Turban army was rising in the south, and the feudal lords were fighting. If a civil official went, the imperial edict would not reach Jingzhou before it disappeared.
"In the entire Chang 'an, I'm afraid only Marquis Wen can take on this responsibility.”After Li Ru finished speaking, the corners of his mouth immediately curled up.
"Fengxian? "This…" Dong Zhuo hesitated, but when he thought of the throne, he made up his mind."Alright, let's do that. Men, find Fengxian for me!"
Seeing that Dong Zhuo had sent Lu Bu to the south as he had wished, Li Ru was secretly pleased with himself. Hehe, Lu Bu, you stole my limelight. This time, you will be beheaded. After thinking about it, he happily left the palace, boarded the carriage, and walked towards his secret residence. There were still two beautiful women waiting for him. Haha, just to promote a person to a minister, he immediately gave her a house and two beautiful women. This deal was indeed worth it.
As for Lu Bu, he still didn't know that he was going to be sent to the Jing State. He was playing with Liu Jian. It was such a pity that she could not use the big bath at home.
Last night, he had told the servant girls behind Liu Jian's back that he would fill up the bathtub in the morning. He wanted to bathe with his wife.
After a crazy night with Liu Jian, he heard the sound of servant girls walking around just as dawn broke. Under the dim light, Lu Bu looked at Liu Jian, who was sleeping soundly beside him, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Although her entire body was wrapped in a thick blanket, only her pretty face was exposed. Under the blanket, their naked bodies were tightly intertwined. Feeling her curvaceous figure and smooth skin, Lu Bu's desire rose. The fiery hard body went deep between Liu Jian's legs.
Feeling the abnormality in his body, Liu Jian twisted and turned, stimulating Lu Bu's nerves. Fortunately, he knew that he had something important to do in the morning, so he restrained himself. She quietly left Liu Jian's body and reached out to stroke her messy hair.
At this moment, Liu Jian's personal maid walked in gently. She carefully stood not far from the bed and hesitated, not knowing if she should open the brocade curtain.
Fortunately, Lu Bu heard her movements and opened the brocade tent a little. When he saw the servant girl indicating that everything was ready, he immediately became excited.
After getting out of bed, she only put on a long robe. She wrapped the blanket around Liu Jian and carried him to the bathroom. Fortunately, the bathroom was right behind the bedroom, so he didn't need to leave the room. Otherwise, Lu Bu would have frozen.
When she entered the bathroom, it was already filled with steam. Ignoring the laughter of the two maidservants, Lu Bu waved them out and gently placed them on the soft couch at the side. Fortunately, the bathroom was warmer, or else Lu Bu's trick would have failed.
He quickly took off his robe and hugged Liu Jian in his arms. He watched her wriggle and find a comfortable position before carefully entering the water. Then, he pulled off Liu Jian's quilt and put her into the water.
