Lu Ning and Guo Jia and his party drove slowly towards Jinyang City, and Lu Ning kept doing show along the way. When they arrived at Jinyang City, Gu Yong, Sima Lang, Zhao Yun, Guan Ning, Cai Yong, Xu Huang, Zhang Ji, Chen Qun, Ju Su, Tian Feng, Zhang Yang, Hua Tuo, Ma Jun and others greeted him at the gate of Rencheng.

After seeing the ceremony, everyone went directly to the government office. As soon as they sat down, Si Yilang said, "Brother, you have gone out this time for a long time. If you want to come back, we don't know what to do."

Guan Ning also continued: "Ziyi, you have indeed left Bingzhou for too long. You can't leave like this in the future. Bingzhou really cannot leave you. The princes around are eyeing each other. If the news was not blocked well, who would have known what would happen? But no matter how the news was blocked, your whereabouts were still found out by some spies of the princes. It was just that they were unable to have ideas about us for the time being due to the locust disaster and the epidemic of plague, otherwise they would have acted long ago."

After hearing this, Lu Ning was very excited and knew that they were all thinking about their safety. Lu Ning immediately stood up and bowed to everyone ninety degrees, gave everyone a big gift, and then said, "I am worried about you, I am here to thank you. But there is no need for you to worry. You must have confidence. Whether I am in Bingzhou or not, it is not a big deal. Are you all doing the work? With you talents and generals, who in the world has the courage to provoke us? Even if you look at the world, how many people can beat you?" After saying that, Lu Ning smiled.

Ju Su glanced at Lu Ning and said, "Lord, the world is not peaceful during the period after you left. Sun Ce, an unknown person, suddenly emerged and borrowed troops to go out of Jiangdong. The power of the journey was unstoppable. It was estimated that it would take him a few years to have Jiangdong. After Cao Cao's verdict was over, Lu Bu was driven to Liu Bei's place in Xuzhou. Cao Cao's current production has been restored. The current emperor was also kidnapped by Cao Cao to Xuchang. He can legitimately hold the emperor to command the princes. He is preparing to take action. Liu Bei owns Xuzhou, brother

The three of them are dedicated to managing Xuzhou, which is also very powerful. Li Kui and Guo Si of Yongzhou are fighting each other. Later, the two of them joined forces to fight against Cao Cao, and now they have been eliminated by Cao Cao. With the information we have obtained, Cao Cao and Ma Teng have plans to enter Yongzhou, which is not a good thing for our army. Once they seize Yongzhou, our army will be threatened. Although Liu Yan in Yizhou died of illness, his son Liu Zhang was as stable as Mount Tai with the assistance of Zhang Song, Huang Quan, Wang Lei, Zhang Ren, Li Yan, Xu Jing, Fa Zheng and others."

After hearing Ju Su's words, Lu Ning thought: According to historical records, it should be the time for Cao Cao to seize the emperor, and then Cao Cao would use the emperor to order the princes; Yuan Shu, the fool, would also be the emperor; Sun Ce would unify the six counties in Jiangdong and prepare to use troops to Liu Biao in Jingzhou; Liu Bei would soon throw Xuzhou away with his big ears and let Lu Bu steal Xuzhou; next is a battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but now after Yuan Shao is dead, will this old Cao come to attack me?

While Lu Ning was wandering, Tian Fengyi continued: "Lord, now the emperor has been robbed by Cao Cao. At that time, when Li urging and Guo Si and his party were chasing the emperor, they also sent people to ask for help. The situation was confirmed by Li Buhui. Since the lord was not here, we have studied it for several days. Everyone has disagreements and we are not sure whether it is better to send troops or not? So we took the opportunity to rescue the emperor and let Cao Cao get a bargain."

It turned out that the emperor was rescued by Ju Su, Tian Feng, Sima Lang, Guan Ning and Cai Yong, and the emperor was rescued to Bingzhou, and then Lu Ning could also use the emperor to order the princes. However, when Zhao Yun and other generals led troops, Zhao Yun and other generals believed that after getting the emperor, wouldn’t he be shackled by himself? Everything would be restricted by the little emperor. If he was not careful, he would also bring scolding from the world. The most serious thing was that he was worried that the power in Lu Ning would be weakened.

After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed and said, "What everyone said makes sense. It is beneficial to get the little emperor into it, and it can really hold the emperor to order the princes. This will indeed have a good political impact. But the little emperor also has many unfavorable aspects after he comes. As for me, it is better to advocate not holding the little emperor hostage. After all, after getting the little emperor into it, we will indeed be bound by him, and some people will give orders on our heads. The most serious thing is that our practice in Bingzhou is not recognized by the little emperor and the ministers in the court, and they will not be able to do so.

We are one mind. They care about the rights and official positions in their hands, and they will not care about the lives and deaths of the people. In this way, over time, the conflict between us and the little emperor or the ministers of the court will definitely become increasingly greater, and in the end it will be a situation where water and fire are incompatible. If we want to continue a series of policies in Bingzhou, we must make our series of policies sustainable and continuity, and we must make the people, scholars and soldiers forget something, but if they want to forget, what can we do?”

After hearing Lu Ning's words, everyone was also wondering, what should people forget? What good ways can people forget? After a while, no one spoke, and finally Sima Lang said: "Brother, then do you think there is any way to people forget? We really can't think of any way to do it."

After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled and said, "Time."

Many people here cannot understand the key points, and they don’t know what it means. But as Guo Jia, Ju Su, Tian Feng, Guan Ning and other people with extremely high intelligence, they immediately thought that Lu Ning wanted to make the emperor and court have a smaller and smaller influence in the minds of the people, and fade year by year, or even forget. Of course, the emperor cannot be saved to Bingzhou, otherwise the little emperor would issue imperial edicts every day and point fingers everywhere. The people, soldiers, and famous scholars all know that there is a little emperor here. The little emperor is the real boss? If there is no little emperor here, then with the implementation of the new policy, the people, soldiers, and scholars cannot hear the emperor's voice for many years and cannot see any imperial edicts, of course they will gradually forget.

Sima Lang shook his head and asked, "Brother, now that Cao Cao has kidnapped the emperor, he will also use the emperor to order us. Will we listen or not? He will definitely be Cao Cao's gun. If he doesn't listen, it would be against the emperor's order."

After hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Boda, don't worry. The emperor now has no power, and the prestige and influence of the court are not as good as before. Even if Cao Cao urged the emperor to order us, don't say we won't listen, even other princes won't listen. Everyone knows that all the emperor's destiny is Cao Cao's original intention, and that's what the emperor means."

After hearing this, Mr. Cai Yong said, "But no matter whether it is Cao Cao's intention or the emperor's intention, it is all imperial edicts, and I can't ignore it. Even though we know it is Cao Cao's intention, we have to do it sometimes. Although the court has forgotten it in name only, it still has a certain influence no matter what.

After hearing this, Zhao Yun said, "What's the difficulty? As long as it is beneficial to us, we will abide by the implementation; if we are asked to be a gunman, then we will care what he does."

Chen Qun continued: "If it is not good for us and we don't implement it, then Cao Cao has no choice. If Cao Cao wants to say bad things about us, won't we talk about him? We have magazines, newspapers and other propaganda tools in our hands, so we can make long-term discussions in magazines and newspapers. In this regard, Cao Cao cannot compare to us. The resources he can use is just the little emperor in his hands."

But when Yong went up, Li Kui and Guo Si drove Lu Bu out of Chang'an City, Li Kui was the Grand Marshal and Guo Si was the general. The two took power and completely controlled the government. The two were rampant and no one dared to speak out. The two were in Chang'an City without any scruples, burning, killing, looting, raping, and harming the people.

The Grand Marshal Yang Biao and the Grand Marshal Zhu Yan saw it, were anxious in their hearts, and were worried all day long. Although they had extraordinary skills, they had no military power in their hands, which was a skilled woman who could not cook without rice. The two of them often sighed and paid great attention to the situation in various places. They also hoped to have external forces to clear the king's side, destroy Li Kui and Guo Si, so as to restore the dynasty and return the power to the emperor.

Zhu Ye and Yang Biao secretly asked for Emperor Xian one day. Zhu Ye said to Emperor Xian: "Master, now the government is urging by Li, Guo Si and the other two are controlled by the confidants of Ergou Thief. Now that if you want to eliminate the two treacherous ministers, you must use the princes from other places to recruit troops to capture them. Otherwise, our Han Dynasty will be in a dark and the people will live in poverty."

Emperor Xian had been suffering from the humiliation of Li urging and Guo Si, and he had long wanted to tear the two of them into pieces, but he had no real power and was just a puppet emperor. After hearing Zhu Yan's words, he immediately said: "What can you do to get rid of Ergou thieves? Come on with shame quickly."

Zhu Yan looked at Emperor Xian and then said, "Sage, Lu Ning, Bingzhou, has been destroying the barbarians and Tartar cavalry for our Han Dynasty. He not only destroyed the Huns and Xianbei people, but also made great achievements in the safety of the border of our Han Dynasty. However, the court had not given him an official title for many years, but Daxiong had never argued with the court, and he had always led his soldiers to fight in an unknown way. Daxiong was indeed loyal to our Han Dynasty, but this person did not know any etiquette, was reckless, and had a hasty work. But now only Daxiong could save the court and the emperor."

After hearing this, Yang Biao immediately retorted: "Lord, that village man from Daxiong is a bold and reckless person. He never cares about the consequences in his work and never takes the court to heart. Besides, Daxiong's killings are too heavy, and what he did on the northern grasslands is really hard tolerate. Once he calls this person to the court, it will be the result of Dong Zhuo, Li Kuai and Guo Si. I don't agree to let Daxiong bring troops to Chang'an. Besides, I heard that Daxiong is not in Bingzhou, and even if he asks him to send troops, his subordinates can't do it. I suggest that Cao Cao from Yanzhou brings troops to rescue the emperor. Now, Cao Cao has more than 200,000 soldiers and dozens of counselors and generals. If this person supports the country and eliminates the traitor, the world will be very lucky."
