Chapter 207: Dividing Lu Bu and Gao Shun


After coming out of Xun's Mansion, Liu Cheng led the officials from the General's Mansion back.

Jia Xu touched his beard and asked: "My lord, Wang Yun and others invited you into the inner hall to ask you to kill Dong Zhuo?"

Liu Chengdao: "Wen He's guess is good.

These people are crazy about killing Dong Zhuo.

It seems that we have to find a way to add fuel to the fire between them and Dong Zhuo.

Otherwise, they are still too timid and have to let them go."

Dong Zhuo killed them until they could not suppress the anger in their hearts, so they became desperate."

Jia Xu asked: "What do you plan to do, my lord?"

"Let's talk about it when we get home" At this time, a group of soldiers and horses came from across the street.

They were dressed as soldiers from the former Bingzhou Army.

When they got closer, they saw clearly that the leader was Gao Shun.

It seemed that Gao Shun was leading the group to patrol the streets.

Gao Shun also saw Liu Cheng and others, reined in his horse, hugged Liu Cheng's fists, nodded, but said nothing.

Liu Cheng cupped his fists and nodded in return.

After Liu Cheng and his people passed by, Gao Shuncai and his people continued to move forward.

Liu Cheng didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly asked: "Wen He, what do you think of Lu Bu?"

Jia Xu touched his beard and said: "You are unparalleled in bravery.

I am afraid that only my lord can rival him in martial arts."

Liu Cheng knew that Jia Xu must understand what he wanted to ask, but he deliberately did not talk about the key points.

Instead, he mentioned Lu Bu's martial arts.

This is a complete old fox, and an old fox who cherishes his life.

Jia Xu's first principle is People who put their own life safety first and consider other things before ensuring their own safety.

Integrity and other things are irrelevant in the face of life.

This kind of person is the most difficult to control.

But Liu Cheng is not worried.

He has already planted several secrets around Jia Xu.

Any bad thoughts or unruly actions by Jia Xu will not escape his eyes.

Liu Cheng turned to look at the newly surrendered Chen Gong and asked: "Gongtai, you are a kind man, what do you think of Lu Bu?"

Chen Gong cupped his hands and said: "My lord, I think that although Lu Bu is strong in force, he is capricious and has no loyalty at all.

Otherwise, he would not have been given the insulting nickname of a domestic slave with three surnames.

I think that this kind of person will never be the same in the future."

He turned his back on the Lord to seek glory when he didn't end well.

Little did he know that he wouldn't be betrayed by his subordinates in the future."

Liu Cheng looked at Chen Gong in great surprise.

In his previous life, this guy chose to serve Lu Bu as his master.

Why is he so disdainful of Lu Bu's character now?

But Chen Gong's words really hit the nail on the head.

Liu Cheng nodded, looked at Zhu Jianping on the other side and asked, "Mr.

Zhu, what do you think of Lu Bu?"

Zhu Jianping cupped his hands and said: "In my opinion, Lu Bu is not a person with a long life, but I can't calculate how long he can live, nor what his future destiny will be."

"Can't figure it out."

Liu Cheng was surprised.

Zhu Jianping had always been very accurate in fortune telling, but now he couldn't tell it.

"Then sir, please give me a face to face with this general.

How long will my general live?"

Zhu Jianping cupped his hands and said: "My lord, please forgive me.

I cannot calculate everyone's fate.

People like my lord cannot be counted as my subordinates.

There are also people like Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, Gongsun Zan, etc., and they cannot be counted as my subordinates." come out" Liu Cheng understood now that as long as he was a prince or someone with the potential to be a prince, Zhu Jianping could only make a rough calculation, not an accurate calculation.

Liu Cheng no longer cared about this matter and sighed: "I don't care at all about the fate of a capricious villain like Lu Bu.

It's just that Gao Shun is a loyal and brave man.

It would be a pity to follow him Lu Bu."

At this time, Xu Jing, who was riding behind, said, "My lord must have cherished Gao Shun's loyalty and bravery, and wanted to recruit him for his own use.

My subordinates also observed Gao Shun just now.

He is indeed a loyal and brave man.

And he is a die-hard person, this kind of person The rule of conduct for people is that no matter what the character of the person they are loyal to is, once they are loyal, they will not change for the rest of their lives.

If Lu Bu dies, he will die; if Lu Bu lives, he will live.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the lord wants to poach him away from Lu Bu. accomplish" Liu Cheng frowned and said: "Is there no way at all?"

People only know that Xu Shao of Runan has the ability to criticize people in the world.

Almost all those who are praised by him will achieve great things in the future.

The most representative figure among them is Cao Cao.

"Talk about Cao Cao's life experiences and achievements correctly.

This is the reason why his reputation will be passed down to future generations.

But people don’t know that Xu Jing’s ability to criticize characters is not inferior to that of Xu Shao.

They are cousins ​​and peers, and they have a competitive relationship, so their brotherly love is not deep in daily life, and there are also deep conflicts. .

There was a time when Xu Shao, in order to suppress Xu Jing, relied on his reputation and connections to persuade officials, so that he could not be promoted as filial and honest, nor could he be hired by the government.

In order to support himself, Xu Jing had to work as a grinder and pull carts to support himself.

Own.

It can be seen that Xu Jing's talent in character evaluation is probably higher than Xu Shao's, otherwise why would Xu Shao do such despicable things to Xu Jing regardless of family ties?

Xu Jing once served as a minister in charge of the selection of officials in the court.

Xu Jing was indispensable for Xun Shuang, Han Rong, Chen Ji and others to be able to enter the court and be promoted to high positions.

Indeed, they are all talented people, which shows that Xu Jing has a very accurate vision and is very good at judging people.

Xu Jing touched his beard and said, "My lord, do you know when Gao Shunnai followed Lu Bu?"

Liu Cheng sent Wang Yue to investigate this matter a long time ago and knew it very clearly.

He said: "It should have been three years ago.

Strictly speaking, Gao Shun is Ding Yuan's subordinate, not Lu Bu's general.

You must know that Lu Bu is Ding Yuan's subordinates only hold the position of commander-in-chief, so how can the commander-in-chief have the authority to lead troops in battle?"

Xu Jing said: "In this way, Gao Shun followed Lu Bu on the one hand because he had no other choice, and on the other hand it was because of Lu Bu's martial arts.

My subordinates can see that Gao Shun has a dull personality and admires people with strong martial arts.

He The important reason for following Lu Bu should be to admire Lu Bu's unparalleled martial arts.

In this aspect, the lord is not inferior to Lu Bu.

It is not impossible for the lord to recruit Gao Shun to serve under his command.

It just depends on how to do it."

"Oh, Mr.

Wenxiu, do you have a way?

If it succeeds, I will give you a great credit from this general."

Xu Jing thought for a while and said: "First of all, if you want to kill Lu Bu, it cannot be done by the lord; secondly, you must find a way to separate Gao Shun and Lu Bu and send them to another garrison so that they cannot see each other for a long time; thirdly, find a way from the official position , let Gao Shun obey the official position and not be subordinate to Lu Bu.

If you really want Gao Shun to submit to the lord, the lord will only have the chance after Lu Bu dies.

This may take a long time to wait."

Liu Cheng smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have been waiting for you.

Throughout the ages, people with unparalleled talents and martial arts are like crucian carp crossing the river, but there are very few people who are absolutely loyal.

Why do emperors in the past dynasties pay special attention to people with unparalleled loyalty?"

I am also granted a special title because there are too few truly loyal ministers.

Once my own interests are involved, even my own flesh and blood can be betrayed, let alone outsiders."

Liu Cheng's words made all the officials around him feel tense.

Returning to the general's mansion, Liu Cheng sent someone to the Bashang military camp to summon Zhang Liao and asked, "Do Wen Yuan and Gao Shun know each other well?"

Zhang Liao cupped his fists and said, "Of course we are acquaintances.

When Brother Gao joined the Bingzhou Army, he recommended it to Governor Ding."

Liu Cheng thought for a while and asked: "Gao Shun is a loyal and brave man.

It is a pity for me to let him follow Lu Bu.

Is there any way Wen Yuan can make him switch to me?"

Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "It's difficult.

I know Brother Gao well.

He is rigid, dull, and not good at words, but he is loyal and loyal.

Once he decides on something, it is difficult to change his mind.

But he has not really followed Lu Bu for a long time."

"Mr.

Gao Shun was still loyal to Governor Ding when Governor Ding was still alive.

He just admired Lu Bu's extraordinary martial arts.

If we find a way to separate them and prevent them from seeing each other for a long time, I think there is still a possibility."

"Okay, go ahead" Only a few days later, someone privately advised Dong Zhuo to be wary of Lü Bu, saying that Lü Bu was capricious.

Since he could kill Ding Yuan, his adoptive father, couldn't he kill Dong Zhuo, his adoptive father?

Besides, Lü Bu still had something in his hands.

There are few soldiers and horses, except for the original In addition to the Bingzhou Army, Lu Bu later recruited several thousand people, totaling more than 10,000 people.

This was a considerable force.

It would be better to separate Lu Bu from his generals, such as Gao Shun, whom Lu Bu relied on most.

Transferred to remote places for garrison.

Dong Zhuo himself was a very suspicious person.

He was told bad things about Lu Bu by his confidants over and over again, and he couldn't help but start thinking wildly in his mind.

Within a few days, Gao Shun received a new appointment, he was conferred the title of Zhonglang General, and he was assigned to lead his troops to stabilize and garrison.

Gao Shun's original official position was not even a school captain, but this time he was directly promoted to Zhonglang General, which can be said to have been promoted several levels in a row.

Gao Shun's political acumen was not very good, and he had no expert guidance.

He did not see the purpose of Dong Zhuo's actions at all.

He only thought that he was promoted because of his merits and was very happy.

But Lu Bu was not very happy.

He was not stupid.

Gao Shun was the right-hand man he relied on most.

No one else was as important as Gao Shun in his heart.

Dong Zhuo must have done this to move Gao Shun away from him.

He How could I not know Although he was very angry, Lu Bu could not stop Gao Shun from leading people to Tianshui to garrison, nor could he refuse Dong Zhuo's appointment and transfer order.

Otherwise, he would not only offend Dong Zhuo, his godfather, but also cause Gao Shun to have a grudge in his heart.

It can only be swallowed in the stomach.

Liu Cheng was very happy after hearing the news in the general's palace that Jia Xu reported that Gao Shun had led his team to Tianshui to garrison, and that Lu Bu was so angry that he flew into a rage at home.

He laughed and said: "Hahaha, this step is finally completed.

The next step is Look how Dong Zhuo and the ministers in the DPRK continue to fight."

Jia Xu asked: "I wonder when my lord plans to kill Lu Bu?"

"Kill Lu Bu" Liu Cheng shook his head, "No, no, no, how can this tiger be killed so easily?

It cannot be killed by this general.

If this tiger is driven to Guandong, what do Wen He think will happen to this tiger?

"

Jia Xu shook his head: "I'm afraid it will give the Guandong princes a headache":
