Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chen Gong was very pleased with Lu Bu's change, and he even felt a little grateful to Lu Yan for bringing Lu Bu a change.

"That's right, Cao Cao welcomes the emperor, and he will be able to coerce the emperor to command the princes in the future!"

But Lu Bu was a little confused, he asked: "But will the princes really listen to him?"

Chen Gong replied with a smile: "Of course not!"

"Since that's the case, didn't Cao Cao cause trouble for himself?" Lu Bu had stayed in the palace for a long time, so he naturally knew how annoying those grandpas were.

Chen Gong shook his head, and said in a solemn tone: "With the Son of Heaven present, Cao Cao is already invincible. May I ask, who would dare to attack Cao Cao before the Son of Heaven sends a clear signal to be king?"

"Didn't he, Cao Cao, issue a coercive edict back then? Could it be that he, Cao Cao, can only do it, and others can't do it?"

"But the problem is, he is Cao Cao, not Dong Zhuo!"

Lu Bu suddenly said, "Yes, Cao Cao is not Dong Zhuo, he is ten times more difficult to deal with than Dong Zhuo!"

Chapter 35 Lu Bu and Cao Cao's PY

Lu Bu stood on the main seat with his hands behind his back, his eyes were empty, staring into the distance in a daze.

Seeing that Lu Bu was in a daze, everyone silently agreed and waited quietly.

Most of the people here have experienced the Battle of Yanzhou, and they can understand Lu Bu's mood at this time.

After the cup of tea, Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu, and although he was still a little hesitant, he still said, "Marquis Wen, when we were welcoming the Son of Heaven, the Cao army had a fight with the Xiliang army."

"Oh, Cao Jun must have won, right? That's right, he might not be able to welcome the emperor back if he doesn't win..." Lu Bu came back to his senses, with a smile on his lips, and asked himself.

Chen Gong nodded and continued: "Yes, and Cao Jun defeated [-] Xiliang Army with [-] infantry!"

Lu Bu couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard the words, and then he said with some emotion: "The combat power of the Xiliang Army has dropped to such a point?"

Chen Gong shook his head and replied:

"That's not the case. The Xiliang Army's combat power is still strong, and the [-] Baibo Army is almost like a chicken and a dog under them, vulnerable to a single blow.

Moreover, Cao's army is all infantry, and the Xiliang army still has [-] cavalry. "

Lu Bu suddenly became interested and asked, "How did Cao Cao defeat the Xiliang Army?"

He, Lu Bu, was chased away by the Flying Bear Army of Li Jue and Guo Si, and that experience was so unforgettable...

"To be precise, it was Lu Yan who led [-] infantry to defeat the Xiliang Army." After finishing speaking, Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu, wanting to see his reaction.

If the expression on Lu Bu's face was not right, he would not have continued.

But seeing that Lu Bu was expressionless and didn't express anything, Chen Gong continued: "It is rumored that Lu Yan has put in many new tactics specially designed to target the cavalry.

Although I don't know exactly what it is, but judging from the results, the Xiliang cavalry lost miserably! "

Chen Gong stopped at this point... After a while, Lu Bu suddenly asked, "Are there any more?"

"Yes!" Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu was much more mature than before, so he gritted his teeth and said an even more shocking news, "At the end of this battle, Lu Yan's central army encountered a cavalry raid led by Li Jue himself!"

Lu Bu's expression finally changed a little. He squinted his eyes slightly, and asked solemnly, "What's the ending? How did he, Lu Yan, deal with it?"

Chen Gong replied with a strange expression: "According to rumors, many soldiers who experienced that battle personally swore that they saw Lu Yan wipe out six thousand Xiliang cavalry with his own hands!"

Not only the civil and military officials in the hall, even Lu Bu couldn't help but twitch...

"Destroyed six thousand Xiliang iron cavalry with a wave of his hand?" Lu Bu laughed as if he had heard some funny joke: "If it is six hundred, I will really believe it!! Six thousand? Hahahaha!"

Chen Gong smiled awkwardly and said, "Marquis Wen was joking..."

In his perception, even the [-] Xiliang iron cavalry cannot be dealt with by one person.

"Maybe Cao Cao wanted to create momentum for Lu Yan, otherwise how could there be such absurd remarks?" Chen Gong expressed his guess.

As for why he wanted to create momentum for Lu Yan, Chen Gong couldn't think of the key yet.

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Lu Bu didn't bother to explain anything.

Anyway, sooner or later, before Lu Yan will be exposed to thousands of eyes, why should Lu Bu waste his saliva to explain, and then it may cause everyone to roll their eyes...

Seeing that Lu Bu stopped talking, Chen Gong finally stated his ultimate goal: "Marquis Wen, since Cao Cao ushered in the emperor, shouldn't we ask Cao Cao for a legitimate state shepherd?"

"Will Cao Cao give it?" Lu Bu seemed a little uncertain.

But Chen Gong replied with certainty:

"Yes! As long as you, Marquis Wen, ask the emperor to confer the state shepherd, it will be a disguised recognition of Cao Cao's current orthodox status.

He, Cao Cao, was too happy, how could he refuse? "

Hearing this, Lu Bu nodded and replied: "Our foundation is weak, and it is time for us to recuperate. With the official positions appointed by the court, we can act better...Then I will leave this matter to Mr. is you."

"Wen Hou is wise!" Chen Gong was very relieved that Lu Bu did not show off his temper for a while, but began to take care of the overall situation.

Now they have just defeated Tian Kai, and their control over Qingzhou is not yet stable. It will take a certain amount of time to win over and digest both the people and the military.

Fearing that Lu Bu would be upset, Chen Gong directly refused to ask the emperor to bestow the state shepherd, and finally the relationship with Cao Cao became stalemate.

At that time, maybe Cao Cao will be the first to take them out.

......

The palace in Xuchang was still under construction, so the daily court meeting was held in the county government office.

Cao Cao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Wen Lu Bu has put down the rebels controlled by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban and other forces. Now he has sent a message, hoping to ask Your Majesty to be named Qingzhou Muyi." job!"

"Wenhou Lu Bu?!" Liu Xie forgot how long he hadn't heard from Lu Bu.

Although he was very angry at Lu Bu's move to dig up the imperial tomb, Liu Xie knew that Lu Bu was just following orders.

Later, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, and supported and protected him with Wang Yun.

After that period of time, in Liu Xie's subconscious mind, he was still very close to Lu Bu.

"Yes, what do you think, Your Majesty?" Cao Cao asked with a smile after hearing Liu Xie's words.

Liu Xiegang wanted to agree, but remembered that Lu Bu and Cao Cao had a big battle.

He wasn't sure what Cao Cao was thinking, so he asked, "What does the general think?"

Without hesitation, Cao Cao clasped his hands and replied, "Marquis Wen is one of the greatest heroes in getting rid of Dong Zhuo. Although he had some misunderstandings with his ministers, his loyalty to the great man can be learned from heaven and earth.

The minister thinks that His Majesty should bestow Lu Bu as the shepherd of Qingzhou! "

Cao Cao's words made Liu Xie happy. Lu Bu was regarded as "one of his own" by Liu Xie. Now that his own people can become bigger outside, wouldn't his own strength become stronger again!

"Then, according to what the general said, grant Lu Bu the title of Qingzhou Shepherd!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Cao Cao bowed his hands and returned to his seat.

Liu Xie showed joy, but Yang Biao, who was standing on the side, felt bitter, "Your Majesty, Lu Bu is not your most reliable helper, Cao Cao is far better than Dong Zhuo...the relationship between them, It's not as simple as you think!"

Since seeing the prosperity of Chenliu County and Yingchuan County and a series of reform measures behind it,

Yang Biao already had a vague premonition, "Cao Cao's ambition is probably far from being as simple as it is currently shown."

And ever since the Son of Heaven came to Xuchang, Lu Yan has been reluctant to show his face in the court...

Yang Biao, who felt a little exhausted, didn't want to worry about these crap anymore.

However, if Yang Biao knew that this series of reforms came from Lu Yan,

Will he suddenly realize that he led the wolf into the house?

After all, it was he who gave the emperor the attention that lured Lu Yan back then...

Chapter 36 The Best Time to Promote New Paper

In Chenliu County, Lu Yan performed his duties on the first day after he came back.

Lu Yan and Guo Jia walked into the Sheriff's Mansion sleepily, and just stepped through the door when suddenly there was a burst of sound.

"Congratulations to the Hussar General!"

"Congratulations to the Hussar General!"

"Congratulations to the Hussar General!"

Lu Yan and Guo Jia were taken aback.

Immediately, Lu Yan waved his hands again and again and said, "Don't make such fools, you know what I am, and I don't care about it."

Yi Ji chuckled and said, "General Hussars..."

"Let me be the prefect or sir... The emperor has 600 guards at his disposal, and the general of the hussars is just a vain job."

"But the prefect, General Hussars has raised your upper limit, we brothers who follow you, can more or less..." Yiji said with his right hand and made a lifting motion, which means that they also have a chance Go up one liter.

Lu Yan thinks so too. He doesn't care about these things, but it doesn't mean that the officials under his command don't care.

Just like Yu Jin, who used to lead the army under him, after hearing that Cao Ren and others had obtained the title of official general, he felt a slight sadness in his heart.

"We agreed to act aggressively together, but in the end you abandoned me..." Probably this is the feeling.

Not only the military generals who greeted the emperor had different promotions,

After the emperor came to Xuchang, Cao Cao also arranged Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Dong Zhao and others into the court.

Xun Yu's reputation as a talented king has long spread throughout the world. Over the years, Cao Cao has grown from nothing to become one of the most powerful vassals, and Xun Yu is definitely one of the few who have made the most outstanding contributions.

After being arranged to enter the court, the emperor promoted Xun Yu to be a servant of the Han Dynasty and obey the order of the minister.

Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia were promoted to the ranks of Military Adviser Jijiu at the same time. As for the others, they also had their own promotions and awards, so I won't go into details here.

Lu Yan said to Yi Ji and Han Hao: "Go and draw up a list, I will hand it over to Duke Cao later, it's time for the brothers to go up."

"Ah! Thank you General Hussars!" All the officials in the meeting hall immediately bowed their hands in thanks.

Lu Yan waved his hand, then walked to the main seat and sat down, flipping through the piled up documents on the table.

"Huh? The new paper has come out!" Lu Yan asked in surprise.

"Yes, shortly after the prefect left, the new paper was successfully produced.

It's just that everyone doesn't dare to make their own opinions, and can only wait for the prefect to come back to make a decision. "

Lu Yan sighed regretfully and said, "Oh... I wanted to promote it before the emperor, but it's a pity that it's still a step too late."

After Guo Jia heard Lu Yan's sigh, he couldn't help but chuckled and said, "Changsheng, Your Majesty is so close to you, I didn't expect you to turn your elbows outward!"

Lu Yan glared at Guo Jia and said, "Stop talking nonsense, just speak up if you have something to say.

Besides, my elbow has always been on the side of the common people, and I have never missed it! "

After Guo Jia laughed, he continued: "Actually, now is a good time to promote new paper."

Lu Yan leaned forward and asked, "How do you say that?"

"If the new paper is promoted before the emperor, although the lord will gain great prestige, at the same time the lord will also have to face the hostility of most aristocratic families."

When Guo Jia said this, he paused, and after organizing his words, he continued:

"The biggest advantage of a noble family, apart from population and land, is knowledge.

Why don't ordinary people even have the opportunity to learn knowledge?

The cost of books is the biggest obstacle to the dissemination of knowledge! "

Everyone knew these things, but Lu Yan and others did not interrupt Guo Jia, waiting for him to continue talking.

"The emergence of new paper, to be precise, the emergence of bamboo paper, engraving printing and movable type printing, not only greatly reduced the price of books, it actually broke the monopoly of aristocratic families on knowledge!"

Lu Yan nodded, this was actually one of the main reasons why he was eager to release new paper.

Only when the prices of books come down, will the common people have the money to buy books and study, and only when the common people can read, the imperial examination system will be meaningful.

Once the national reading is formed and the imperial examination system is fully implemented, the barriers between classes can be broken.

Although the aristocratic family still maintains an absolute advantage, at least it no longer forms a monopoly.

With such a huge base of common people, there will always be some amazing talents emerging.

They will let the aristocratic families see the power from ordinary people, and they will also let the people around them see a bright light of hope!

Only by maintaining the flow, the society will not become a pool of stagnant water, and there will be enough vitality for the country to persevere.

Xi Zhicai, a genius from a poor family, has been working hard for this goal.

Seeing Lu Yan nodding, Guo Jia continued: "My lord, if you promote new paper, it will definitely touch the most fundamental interests of the aristocratic family.
