In fact, there was nothing wrong with the original strategy of Tian Feng and Yuan Shaoxian. They first used a confession to drag Lu Bu into trouble, and then asked for two foreign aids to divide the troops into merging the state. In this way, there was no problem in protecting Wei County.

But what Jushou didn't expect was that Lu Bu was so powerful. The main army surrounded Wei County and faced Gongsun Zan. He was also able to free his hands to move the horses. Han Sui's 100,000 horses were wiped out. As for Yuan Shu's 10,000 reinforcements, Jushou was

I don’t even want to mention it. Those people are just here to deliver food and grass to others.

The second half of what Tian Feng said was exactly what Zhang Mo was worried about. At this time, he was really too anxious to become emperor. She asked again, "In Yuan Hao's opinion, what position is suitable for a monarch?"

Only after Lu Bu's position has been determined, can he determine the positions of the following people. If he were to be granted the title of Bingzhou Mu, Jizhou Mu, or even Sili Xiaowei, it would be a bit nondescript.

Tian Feng did not answer at this time, but looked at Jia Xu, "Didn't Jia Jun already think about it, why didn't he say anything?"

Jia Xu raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Mo, and said, "It's really not appropriate to proclaim the emperor, so let's proclaim the king first. Anyway, there is no court to confer the title, so my lord, let's proclaim him the King of Jin first!"

"no!"

As soon as Jia Xu finished speaking, a resolute voice of opposition rang out from above. Everyone looked up and saw that the person opposed was Zhang Mo.

There is no problem with the title of King. The problem lies in the title of King of Jin.

Because in history, the Three Kingdoms finally belonged to the Jin Dynasty, and now if Lu Bu is granted the title of King of Jin, he will basically use the title of king as the name of the country in the future when the country is founded.

Jin Dynasty, isn't that going back to history?

The Jin Dynasty was destroyed by the Huns in 266, when Sima Yan usurped Wei and established power in 266. It only lasted fifty years. Although the Western Jin royal family crossed south of the Yangtze River and established the Eastern Jin in 317, the country was already divided.

During the Western Jin Dynasty, Eastern Jin Dynasty, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Han nation experienced three hundred years of war and turmoil. The Five Chariots devastated China. Frequent wars caused a great economic recession. Compared with the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that period of history was truly miserable and a hell on earth. "

Without the spirit of smoke and Cuan, there are no people in China with crowns and belts."

All in all, Zhang Mo has a very unfavorable opinion of the Jin dynasty. Although the future Lu Jin will be different from the historical Sima Jin, she just feels that it is unclear to use Jin as the country's name, so she rushes to oppose it.

Zhang Mo couldn't explain this reason to everyone. In everyone's opinion, isn't it natural for Lu Bu to be granted the title of Marquis of Jinyang before and now the King of Jin?

But Lu Bu knew why A Mo was opposed. When he heard A Mo talk about the history of the past few hundred years, he said, "The King of Jin is not good, so let's make him the King of Tang!"

King of Tang Dynasty?

Everyone was stunned. Look at me and I look at you. I don’t understand where this title came from? King of Qin, King of Chu, King of Qi, King of Zhao, etc., which title is not more noble than this horned King of Tang, Lord?

If you didn’t choose any of these, why did you choose such a royal title?

Today, Jia Xu suddenly mentioned the title of king, and Zhang Mo was not prepared. However, since Lu Bu mentioned the king of Tang, Zhang Mo could only try to explain to everyone, "In the ancient times, the Tang Kingdom with Emperor Yao had its capital in Taiyuan.

The dynasty also divided the Tang Kingdom into vassals. Since the princes liked the title Tang, there was nothing wrong with naming them kings with this title. In fact, it was just a code name and it didn’t mean anything. It doesn’t matter.”

It really didn't matter. The title of king was just to facilitate the management of the territory in the future, so no one expressed their opinions.

Therefore, Lu Bu's position was decided, and the next step was to arrange the positions of the civil and military personnel.

There was no way for Lu Bu to settle this matter with one word, and Zhang Mo didn't think it through carefully beforehand, so she could only dismiss everyone first and wait until she made the list and the situation in each place clear.

The couple temporarily settled in Yecheng, sorting out the government affairs of the counties and counties in Jizhou and guarding against Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan occupied the four counties of Bohai, Hejian, Anping and Qinghe in Jizhou this time. He also took advantage of the Bingzhou army to besiege Yecheng and invaded Qingyuan and Guantao counties in Wei County. Lu Bu wanted to send troops to drive them away, but he had no food and grass.

I really can't keep up.

If this war continues, more people will starve to death next year. The top priority now is to appoint officials in Jizhou, Sanfu Land, and Henan Yin, so that there are people to do the work so that next spring planting will not be delayed.

As for Gongsun Zan, he can only keep an army in Jizhou to guard against it.

Lu Bu had not yet sorted out the affairs of Jizhou, but on this day another old friend from his dream came.

In the study room in the inner courtyard of the Lu Mansion, Lu Bu, who was discussing the appointment of officials with A Mo, looked at the name on the invitation card with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Who is it?" Zhang Mo came over and asked curiously.

"Chen Gong, Chen Gongtai!"

Zhang Mo was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Is he coming to welcome you to become a shepherd in Yanzhou?"

Lu Bu corrected him, "They should be here to see me off from Yanzhou."

"Yes, yes, you are the king of Tang now. There is no reason to become the shepherd of Yanzhou anymore."

Lu Bu rubbed his aching head and smiled bitterly, "I can't afford it for the time being!"

When he first occupied Bingzhou, he thought about occupying Hanoi and then taking advantage of Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou to seize Yanzhou. However, now he realizes that fighting for hegemony is not just about occupying a state or a county. Governance is more important than fighting.

Disaster.

Now Jizhou doesn't even understand, and Yanzhou comes again, and after Cao Cao learns that his hometown has been captured, he will definitely return his army to seize it. With Chen Gong, Zhang Miao and the others will definitely lose to Cao Cao. If he takes over Yanzhou,

We have to send troops there, and then we have to fight again. Without food and grass, Lu Bu is a little afraid of fighting now.

"What should I do?" he asked.

"Let's call the man in first. If he can supply us with food and grass, it's not a bad idea to send a troop of soldiers and horses over to take a look. It's best if we can defend it. If we can't, it's not a bad idea to create a blockage for Cao Cao."

Lu Bu nodded and asked someone to call Chen Gong. He also took Amo to the front yard living room.

After the three of them took their seats, Chen Gong introduced himself first, and then revealed the purpose of coming here today. As Lu Bu expected, he came to see Yanzhou off.

Lu Bu pretended to be confused, "Why did Mr. Gongtai rebel against Cao Cao?"

Chen Gong scolded Cao Cao again, saying that he killed famous people at will, massacred the city wantonly, and was worse than Dong Zhuo. After that, he praised Lu Bu, saying that he cared about people's livelihood, loved people like a son, etc.

After hearing this, Lu Bu just smiled and said, "Sir, you should know that I also killed many people in Hanoi County."

Chen Gong said, "Those people in Hanoi rebelled before the war and died unjustly, but Cao Mengde massacred Xuzhou for no reason and even ordinary people were not spared. How can we generalize?"

Lu Bu nodded slightly. This Chen Gongtai was indeed as he had seen in his dream. He had an upright temperament. Lu Bu stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly, "Thanks to Sir, it is not impossible to bring Yanzhou under my rule, but you can't."
