Han Xin and Peng Yue were both invincible generals who swept thousands of miles in the early Han Dynasty. Han Gaozu finally seized the world, and Han Xin Peng Yue made great contributions, so he was named the prince king after the Han Dynasty was established. However, due to his prestige and talent, he was suspicious of Gaozu, and was slandered and rebelled one after another, and finally his reputation was ruined, and even his clan was wiped out. At this moment, Lu Jun juxtaposed these two people as Lu Yao, referring to the miserable end of the two rabbits and dead dogs.

The Great Jin Dynasty originated from the usurpation, so after the founding of the country, the military and political power was concentrated in the clan, and the military generals who held real power in the local area were very guarded. Since the auxiliary government of the king of the East China Sea, he has also strictly adhered to the tradition of the Great Jin Dynasty as the king of the emperor to go out of the town, and vigorously suppressed the local powerful factions.

Gou Xi, who was formerly the assassin of Yanzhou, defeated countless strong enemies for the king of the East China Sea, and even worshipped the king of the East China Sea as brothers, and the love was not deep, but once the king of the East China Sea decided to run the Central Plains, he immediately moved Gou Xi away from Yanzhou and sent him to Qingzhou, which the king of the East China Sea had been running for many years, to make a nominal assassin history. Gou Xi is still like this, what about Lu Yao?

As the contrast between the strength of the Heibei Shogun and the King of the East Sea continued to change, the relationship between the military government and the Shogunate of the King of the East Sea was gradually difficult to handle. Even if Lu Yao and His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea have a few sons-in-law and the Lord of Jingling County mediating in the middle, who can guarantee that the King of the East China Sea will trust him slightly more than Gou Xi Gou Dao? For the increasingly full-fledged Pingbei Military Government, it is unacceptable to be treated like Gou Xi.

Lu Jun compared Han Xin and Peng Yue in his words, but in fact, the Lu clan itself has painful memories that are deeply seared in his mind. At that time, Lu Shiheng also commanded hundreds of thousands of troops for the governor of Hebei, and his majesty was still above today's Pingbei generals. However, there was a slight setback in the war, and dozens of elite children of the Lu clan became victims of the sword of the Sima clan. Even though the relationship with the indigenous people of the south has always been harmonious since the king of the East China Sea took power, and when he crusaded against Sima Ying and moved the world, he also regarded the unsuccessful death of Lu Ji and Lu Yun's brothers as one of Sima Ying's crimes, but everyone in the Lu clan will remember that the Sima clan royal family can never be trusted.

Lu Yao also thought that the Sima clan was not credible, but he didn't think that this was a reason to condone Shi Le's thieves. He glanced at Lu Jun: "Because the King of the East China Sea may be suspicious in the future, I should make peace with the Central Plains thieves now?" ”

Lu Jun slowed down a little and said: "The current situation in the Central Plains completely depends on the result of the contest between the side of the Youji Coalition where my brother is located and the side of King Shile and the thief Kou, and people of insight are all looking at it. If the elder brother had gone south to build his prestige, that purpose had already been achieved. However, after stabilizing the situation in the Central Plains, you yourself have become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the King of the East China Sea. Since the elder brother has no intention of following Han Xin, Peng Yue and the like, sooner or later he will drift away from the king of the East China Sea, or even part ways. In that case, why should he waste his strength for the King of the East China Sea and Shi Le at this moment, and add trouble in vain to the future? ”

"Trouble?" Lu Yao grinned, and there was a little more ridicule in his eyes: "I'm not afraid of trouble." ”

Lu Jun responded: "Yes." The Pingbei military government is full of talents, the generals are brave and good at fighting, and they are riding armor in the world, and the momentum is like the rising sun; Compared with his elder brother, the Tokai King's shogunate was just dry bones in the mound, and the elder brother certainly did not need to be afraid of any trouble. I have no doubt that the moment when the King of the East Sea broke with his brother was the moment when the elder brother used his wise and powerful means to completely suppress the shogunate and seize power......"

What a word! Lu Yao almost subconsciously interrupted Lu Jun's speech: "Daoyan, such nonsense, don't talk nonsense at will!" ”

"Brother, I, Lu Daoyan, am not a man of false promises. These words are not gibberish! Lu Jun didn't know where he got the guts, and he wanted to continue his words: "In recent years, the imperial court has been ignorant, the people have been miserable, and the clans have attacked each other so that the four seas are boiling, not to mention that there are foreign races eyeing each other outside, and there are cunning people who are wanton inside...... This is a sign of the coming chaos of unprecedented times, and it is also an opportunity for heroes to rise. When it was time, brother, you united You, Hebei and Erzhou Shima, the south of the river, the north of the swallow thistle, and there are desert people, isn't it just such a hero? ”

Speaking of this, Lu Jun waved his arms and sleeves, almost shouting, but he forced himself to lower his voice: "Brother should achieve great things, why fight to the death with a group of thieves here and now, meaninglessly consuming the lives of loyal and brave soldiers?" As long as we reach a tacit understanding with Shile, the garrison will not move enough to force Shile and Wang Mi back and welcome back the king of the East China Sea. The Shogunate of the King of the East China Sea was at a time when it was weak, and it was really easy for us to control the shogunate in one fell swoop. Then wave the army to the west to obtain the great feats of defending the national capital, so that the name is both real and famous, who can reach the princes of the world? At that time, we will hold the center to control the Quartet, and the beasts and horses to beg for the court, who in the world can resist it? ”

Lu Yao took a deep breath and spit out again, unable to speak for a while.

Although the process of Lu Yao's rise was rapid, he stepped firmly step by step. From Daidi, to Weiyuan, and then to Youzhou Jicheng, it is a natural harvest of military advantages, and Lu Yao's own style of acting is not ambitious. Since receiving the appointment of the generals of Pingbei and the military of Youzhou, the original scale of the capable civil and military system has suddenly expanded, and the internal and external situations faced by him have also suddenly become complicated, which has made Lu Yao more cautious.

This time, in response to the call of King Qin, the central center of the imperial court, to raise troops to the south, Lu Yao's purpose was mainly to integrate the interior of Youzhou: if he could repel the Xiongnu and the thieves, he could boost the prestige of the Pingbei military government and subdue the northern Xinjiang with military merits. Being able to form an alliance with the beggar Li Yun and then expand his influence to Jizhou is already an unexpected gain.

But Lu Jun is much bolder than Lu Yao imagined, what he planned was to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes domineering! The cousin, who hadn't seen him for many years, suddenly said that Cheng dù, Rao is Lu Yao has a deep and introverted personality, and he also feels a little breathless.

Lu Yao is not a pure minister of the Jin family. Memories from later generations made it clear to him that if he wanted to reverse this troubled era and prevent the catastrophe from coming, he could not rely on the extremely rotten imperial court. But although the imperial court is decaying, its power is still huge, and it is intricately intertwined and deep-rooted, and Lu Yao will not think that it can be easily destroyed or replaced. However, Lu Jun obviously didn't think so.

According to Lu Jun's thinking, it turned out that the Pingbei Military Government was only one step away from seizing the power of the world.

The distance between Fang Zhen, who was in charge of the military of a state, and the powerful ministers who controlled the central authority of the Great Jin Dynasty, was so close, and what Lu Yao needed to do was just to stand still for now and watch the shogunate of the King of the East China Sea completely overthrow...... The temptation is too great, and the effort is too little!

"But......" Lu Yao waved his hand anxiously, as if to drive away flies that were not around him: "In this case, how about the military and civilians of Juancheng?" ”

Although the King of the East China Sea has suffered repeated defeats, the hundreds of thousands of generals he collected when he left the Central Plains have not yet been dispersed after all, plus the displaced people who have gathered in Juancheng from all directions, Lu Yao estimates that the number of soldiers and civilians guarding Juancheng at this moment has reached a considerable level. According to the information obtained, these people were demoralized, and their armament and food were insufficient, and they could become food for Shile at any time.

"Brother, you are a great expert in the use of soldiers, and you must not misjudge the situation. The Central Plains thieves are strong, and the destruction of the shogunate is as easy as Mount Tai to crush the eggs; It would have been extremely difficult to rescue them with the strength of the Youji Alliance. Besides, Shile wouldn't give them much time. Lu Jun replied ruthlessly: "After the king of the East China Sea escapes, Juancheng will inevitably be in chaos, and the thieves will take the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. Those who can't resist will all die. Their blood, flowing like a river, will be the final blow to the Shogunate of the King of the East Sea. From then on, the shogunate was gone, and there was no one to rely on but us. ”

Lu Yao suddenly felt that the cousin in front of him was unfamiliar, he was no longer the alert young man he was familiar with. What has Lu Jun experienced since the separation? What was the purpose of what he was doing? On the battlefield, Lu Yao has been a blade and a soldier countless times, and the lives under his hands have long been countless, and he thinks that his heart is as hard as a stone. But what about these literati? Tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of lives, in their eyes, are just a number!

It seemed that he only hesitated for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, the sound of fighting in the distance was already in the middle of the night. Lu Yao rubbed his face a little tiredly: "Daoyan, you go and rest." This is not a trivial matter, let me think about it. ”
