At the celebration banquet, Li Yuguo saw that the queen did not appear, and the eighteen princes around him were eating and drinking, and they were very happy.
History has changed. You must know that in the original history, the eighteen princes retreated in defeat because they were not of the same mind. However, today in Luoyang, the eighteen princes have won.
The original Luoyang was burned to the ground by Dong Zhuo, and half of the millions of people were killed or injured. But now this catastrophe has changed. Dong Zhuo is dead now, but he died earlier than before, half a year earlier. If he had Don't die. Dong Zhuo's strategy at this time is to first find a way to eliminate the Kwantung Allied Forces. If they can't be eliminated, then find a way to keep the peace. If they can't keep the peace, then they can only wait and die.
If Dong Zhuo wants to destroy the Kwantung Allied Forces, he has only two offensive options in total, with 200,000 troops at home and 400,000 attacking allied forces. This method has a small chance of winning by chance, but it was confirmed by Chong Zhuo and Dong Zhuo's experiments that it was impossible to win. Only a small loss. Therefore, this option cannot be implemented at all and cannot achieve the purpose.
The second is to transfer 200,000 people from their hometown of Liangzhou and 400,000 to attack the coalition forces. This method should have a certain chance of winning, but even if it succeeds, it will only increase the income of the seven eastern states. If it fails, it will lose all its money and property.
The benefits and risks were seriously unbalanced and not cost-effective, so he was unwilling to take risks. He gave up this choice without any trial. So Dong Zhuo finally chose to give up Luoyang and retreat to one side. This retreat clearly indicated to the opponent. The watch has made a decision and has agreed. I don’t want to fight with you anymore. It’s not that Dong Zhuo is afraid of Yuan Shao. It’s because fighting will do little good to Dong Zhuo but great harm.
This is determined by the relationship of interests. The essence of war is to compete for interests, not to fight for the sake of war. Dong Zhuo is already the winner of huge profits. In order to avoid losses and preserve the fruits of victory, this choice should be relatively stable. method, and Liu Bian should have died at this time.
But as Li Yuguo saw before, Liu Bian's death was ten months earlier, so Luoyang had already changed from the beginning. Everything has a cause and effect. If Lu Bu assassinated Dong in advance because Li Huguo transferred the white ghost to Lu Bu, then There may be another explanation for Liu Bian's death.
At this time, the princes were celebrating, but Li Yuguo couldn't be happy because he guessed one thing. Besides Li Huguo, there was another person who could change history, that is, the time traveler who came from afar and belonged to the same era as Li Yuguo. , that is, Sima Yi.
This Sima Yi is no longer the original Sima Yi. He has Sima Yi's wisdom and the experience of modern people, so he is a terrible opponent. It is terrible that Liu Bian was poisoned to death in advance, and he has nothing to do with this Sima Yi, but he was preparing just now During the banquet, Li Yuguo searched around Luoyang, but did not find any members of the Sima family. They all seemed to have followed Lu Bu in kidnapping Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and taking him to Chang'an.
It's scary that in Chang'an, a terrifying opponent will be born in the future.
There is no doubt that Lu Bu is more powerful now than before. However, Li Yuguo was on good terms with Lu Bu. He originally planned to unite with Lu Bu and win over Lu Bu, but now he has gone to Chang'an. This shows that it is terrible that he went to Chang'an not by himself. , and it is definitely not what the old man Wang Yun can think of, there must be an expert behind him.
Let's say that Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo. Although Li Ru was afraid of Lu Bu, he would never make any strategy with Lu Bu. At best, he would give in temporarily, and there must be someone around Lu Bu who would give guidance. He must know the geographical location of Chang'an and the importance of history. Sex is on par with Luoyang.
It can be seen that this has something to do with Sima Yi. Li Yuguo also understood at this time that Sima Yi may have left the mountain in advance. Calculated based on time, Sima Yi should not be much different from him. Maybe he is still the same age, but now this People are starting to take action to plot the world, and I'm afraid what's going to happen next is not going to be good.
Li Yuguo looked at the palace and said that Tang Ji must be sure to grasp this line, because if Sima Yi gave him the opportunity to hold the emperor hostage and order the princes, Sima Yi would issue an order and regard himself as a traitor and issue an edict. If you attack yourself, you will definitely die.
But if Tang Ji or her child becomes the emperor, then she can also use the Han royal family to protect herself. At least she will have a territory to protect herself.
Thinking of this, Li Yuguo drank a lot of wine for himself, but he drank too much and almost choked.
Sun Ce laughed loudly: "I said, even if you see Queen Tang is so beautiful, don't be so excited."
"Who said anything about her?" Li Yuguo said with shame, "I was thinking, now that Thief Dong is dead, I wonder where the princes will go from here?"
"Nowadays, in the northern and southern courts, I'm afraid this is a bad thing. On the one hand, there will definitely be people who are loyal to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and on the other hand, there will be a group of people who will choose to be loyal to the Chang'an court. Although the two capitals are not far apart, the princes are still intrigued by each other. , all interests come first, they must come from wherever convenience comes." Sun Ce said.
Li Yuguo sighed: "That's true..."
At this time, Liu Bei brought his two brothers over to propose a toast. Liu Bei said: "Brother Li, I didn't expect that you have the heart of the Han Dynasty. In the last one, you were not afraid of power, risked your own life to protect the queen, and I am afraid that the whole world will be shocked by your courage." No one can compare to me."
"Hahaha... Uncle Liu Huang has been rewarded. Now that Uncle Liu has a distinguished status, he actually condescended to come and drink with me. I am sincerely frightened." Li Huguo said.
As a man of three generations, Li Yuguo was already familiar with the entanglements between human relationships. The polite words on his lips were impeccable, which surprised Liu Bei. He also did not expect that Li Yuguo was so young that he was well versed in the world of human relationships. It was as if he was not aware of the world at this time. He was not talking to a young man, but to an old fox who was older than himself.
Liu Bei originally wanted to take the opportunity to win over him, but he fell into the opponent's words and found it difficult to escape for a while. Liu Bei immediately realized that this Li Huguo was by no means an easy person.
Uncle Liu Huang said: "Haha, since the general is drinking here, I will disturb the general's enjoyment. However, there are many people here, and I can't respect everyone at once. Next time, I will definitely have a good drink with the general in private!"
Li Yuguo smiled and said: "It's a deal!"
Suddenly, Jia Xu came to Li Yuguo's side, and Jia Xu said: "General."
"Sir." Li Huguo said, cupping his fists.
"The queen invites you to come over."
