Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

In the second year of Chuping, winter.

The rain and snow in Xiliang is quite normal, but after arriving in Guanzhong, it has been snowing continuously since winter, and a large number of refugees living in no fixed place froze to death. Even though Xiliang has absorbed many refugees, Xiliang can They can absorb 100,000 or 200,000 refugees, but they won't be able to absorb more. For this reason, Lu Bu's recent memorials all require money and food.

But where did Dong Zhuo get the money and food? The confiscation of his home forced the scholars to compromise. In addition, Wang Yun mediated through it and raised part of the food and grass, but the food and grass were barely enough for the military, and it was not enough to treat the victims.

It's not that Dong Zhuo didn't think of a solution, I don't know who he listened to. During this period of time, Dong Zhuo abolished the five baht coin and minted small coins, which not only failed to alleviate the people's livelihood, but caused the currency to decline. The way things are traded, and the continuous heavy snowfall since the beginning of winter has made the people's livelihood in Chang'an even worse.

"Father-in-law, calm down!" Li Ru kept urging, looking at Dong Zhuo's heaving chest, on the way back to the Grand Master's Mansion.

Dong Zhuo’s discussion on stabilizing prices was once again shunned by the scholars of the Manchu Dynasty with various reasons. There was no money. During this period, the scholars in Chang’an did send out some money and food to help the people, but these money and food are not enough for the huge number of people in Guanzhong today. , It’s like a drop in the bucket, and people don’t refuse, as long as Dong Zhuo asks, he will definitely give some, but these things don’t add up to much.

Obviously, these scholars are using this to force Dong Zhuo to let go of power, but how can they let go?

"Calm your anger?" Dong Zhuo took a deep breath and looked at Li Ru with scarlet eyes: "How to calm your anger? You and I both know about Xiliang's poverty. Hundreds of miles of fertile soil, the great nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, but they can't provide food and grass to relieve the victims, do you believe it?"

Of course I don't believe it, but what can I do?

Li Ru sighed helplessly: "This matter needs to be discussed in the long term."

"A long-term plan? A longer-term plan, I'm afraid I'm going to starve for thousands of miles in this pass!" Dong Zhuo is naturally not afraid of death, but he knows very well that if too many people starve to death this winter, there may be a civil uprising next year. It's really going to be difficult both internally and externally.

While the two were talking, the carriage had already returned to the Grand Master's Mansion. Dong Zhuo got out of the carriage with the help of his general at home. He suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Li Ru and said, "Go and draw up an edict to let Fengxian return to Chang'an as soon as possible. Since the matter in Xiliang It's over, why is he still staying in Xiliang?"

Dong Zhuo was obviously dissatisfied with Lv Bu arbitrarily arranging Zhang Liao in Wuwei. What did Lv Bu want to do? Self-reliant? Dong Zhuo is not dead yet?

Li Ru nodded: "Father-in-law, don't worry, I don't think Fengxian has any malicious intentions, but he just defeated the two thieves Ma and Han, and the land of Wuwei is unguarded for a while, and it is easy to cause chaos."

"That's not his turn to make his own decisions. Let Shuying prepare to go over there and take over Xiliang." Dong Zhuo snorted. What do you want to do?

Although Xiliang is barren, but as Dong Zhuo's foundation, Dong Zhuo can't put Xiliang in the hands of outsiders. It is just right for Dong Min to guard Xiliang, and it can also make him feel at ease.

"Father-in-law!" Li Ru shook his head and said, "This is the time when there are many troubles. General Lu has made a great contribution this time, but he will return later. Moreover, sending people to seize power in such a hurry will chill people's hearts. How about Stabilize Chang'an first, and then talk about him?"

As for Lv Bu's recent actions, he does have the intention to break away from Dong Zhuo, but after all, he doesn't. If Dong Zhuo criticizes him at this time, it will make Dong Zhuo look like a stranger, and no matter why Lv Bu took the initiative to lure the refugees this time, it is for Chang'an Some stress relief here.

But behind this, what Li Ru saw was the support of Longxi and even the entire Xiliang gentry. Without the support of the Xiliang gentry, it would be impossible for Lu Bu to provide so much food.

And with the support of the Xiliang gentry, Lu Bu has the ability to take root in Xiliang. This power should belong to Dong Zhuo, but it is a pity that Dong Zhuo failed to seize it. In this situation, Lv Bu can't mess around, otherwise, if Lv Bu chooses to turn his face directly, it will definitely make things worse for the current Dong Zhuo!

Dong Zhuo remained silent. She probably understood Li Ru's worry, but she felt even more uncomfortable. Now, not only did she want to coax with the scholars in Chang'an, but she also coaxed Lu Bu?

"Where's Lu Bu's family?" Dong Zhuo suddenly asked after being silent for a long time.

"I sent people there, but I don't know where they were moved!" Li Ru smiled wryly.

"This kid has two minds!" Dong Zhuo said angrily.

Who said no?

Li Ru sighed in his heart, everyone was mistaken, only saw Lu Bu's reckless impulsiveness, but every step could benefit him, but what if he could see it now?

"Grand Master, at this time Lu Bu needs to be appeased. Don't forget that Hua Xiong is still with him. Grand Master can't trust Lu Bu, but he should trust Hua Xiong. This time Lu Bu wins, he should be rewarded."

"Do you want a reward?" Dong Zhuo suddenly turned his head and looked at Li Ru with strange eyes. Could this fellow be with Lu Bu?

The successive blows made the current Dong Zhuo feel that there was something wrong with everyone. When Li Ru said this, he immediately became suspicious.

"You will be rewarded for meritorious service, and you can also use this to transfer him back to the court. At that time, don't let him lead the army easily." Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo speechlessly. Although he understood Dong Zhuo at this time, he still felt a little nervous. Not happy.

Dong Zhuo frowned, and also felt that his words were a bit harsh, Li Ru and himself had been working hard all the time, if even him turned against him, how could anyone trust him? Just reward Lu Bu? How to reward? He is now so poor that his crotch is stretched.

"It can be named Guanglu Xun, one of the nine ministers, and also take the post of Jinwu, so that he can choose a day to return to Chang'an. In addition, his title can also be changed. If he does not return by then, he can go to Hua Xiong and others. The generals in Xiliang forced him to hand over his military power." Li Ru was also a little worried when he said this, once he got to this point, no matter who wins, Xiliang will be in chaos! For today's imperial court, it is nothing more than worse.

Dong Zhuo nodded his head, although he felt dissatisfied, but it was the only way to go now.

"They are young, so don't leave now. There are many rebellious people in Chang'an City, and the Chang'an Forbidden Army alone may not be enough to suppress them." Dong Zhuo snorted and looked at Li Rudao.

Li Ru nodded. Now there is indeed no general guarding Chang'an, and it was fine in the past. After Lu Bu had a problem, Dong Zhuo must be worried here. Since Li Jue and Guo Si are back, and Niu Fu's side is fine for the time being, let them stay for now. In Chang'an.

...

"General Li, that Zhu Jun is a famous general in the dynasty, and he was easily defeated by the general this time. I think the general is worthy of the title of a famous general in the world!" In Situ's mansion, as Dong Zhuo's confidant, Wang Yun entertained Li Jue and Guo Si, Naturally, that would not arouse suspicion. With the lesson from Lu Bu last time, Wang Yun was much smarter this time. He entertained Li Jue and Guo Si and never talked about political affairs, just to draw closer relationships.

As for Diao Chan, after Lu Bu failed once, Wang Yun is not prepared to use a woman again this time, at least not at this stage, he has to find out the weaknesses of the two of them first, and Wang Yun already has an idea of ​​how to deal with them. Care about.

"Mr. Situ praises you absurdly." Li Jue shook his head and said, "Then what kind of a famous general is Zhu Jun? It's just that people praise him as a famous general. If he doesn't have a strong general under his command, he's just useless. It's not difficult to defeat him."

Wang Yun sighed in his heart, the famous general of the Han Dynasty is really so unbearable? First, Lv Bu defeated the princes with his own strength. Until now, many people still think that the rumors about Lv Bu's defeat of the coalition army are exaggerated, but Wang Yun knows that this is true, and the Xiliang army can't understand it There are also many people in Lu Bu, but in terms of war, no one will criticize Lu Bu, which is enough to explain the problem.

Now that Niu Fu leads the army to defeat Zhu Jun, the famous generals that the big man can take out seem to be vulnerable. Could it be that the daily bragging is too much to bury the real talent?

Although he thought so in his heart, he looked very happy on his face. With the lessons learned from Lu Bu, Wang Yun did not bring those scholars to accompany him this time. The wine quality of these two people is much worse than that of Lu Bu. Regardless of the standpoint, although Lu Bu is out of tune with scholars, he still has a bit of bearing when he sits there. Although his words are strong, he can talk to you about the past and the present. He also came from a poor family and had studied, but Li Jue was far behind, and Guo Si was even born as a horse thief. Compared with Lu Bu, he was more pleasing to the eye.

"Let's not talk about that, the general's victory this time has boosted my prestige. I'm going to have a few drinks today. What I respect most in my life are the two generals who can fight on the battlefield and defeat the enemy. Heroes!" Wang Yun picked up the glass of wine, smiled at the two of them, "I'm not going to talk about state affairs today, but I want to get drunk with the two generals!"

"Speaking like Mr. Situ's words are nice, no wonder they can be reused by the grand master." Guo Bang was a little bit unclear, and laughed at Wang Yun: "It's a pity, there is wine but no songs, it is boring."

"What's so difficult about this?" Wang Yun laughed loudly, clapped his hands together and said, "Play music and dance!"

Following Wang Yun's order, the melodious sound of bells and chimes shook people's spirits. A group of dancers danced with their long sleeves fluttering and their frail and boneless bodies. Li Jue sat cross-legged on the seat, closing his eyes to admire For the sound of music, Guo Si was unrestrained, he stood up with a smile on his face, and danced with a group of dancers, full of ugliness but he didn't know it.

Li Jue frowned, and gave Guo Si a helpless look, but he didn't stop him.

Wang Yun fumbled with his beard, looked at Li Jue, and then at Guo Bang. After all, Li Jue had seen the world, and he could maintain some manners when he was drunk. It can be seen that he is lustful, but watching Guo Bang touch the body of the dancer from time to time, the wretched expression makes people feel disgusted. Although such a person is lustful, if he is seduced by Diao Chan, it is... no value.

As for Li Jue... Wang Yun looked at Li Jue. This person has a fierce and treacherous temperament. Although he is drunk, he can still restrain himself. It is not easy for such a person to see his flaws...
