Chapter 217 Lu Zhi and Cai Yong(2/2)
"
Dong Zhuo saw Chu Tian's list, a dense list.
If Chu Tian were not alone, it is estimated that even the seven aunts and eight aunts would have been enthroned as school captains. Even if you could use money to donate officials in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it would still cost money. Chu Tian didn't pay a penny and directly asked Dong Zhuo for an official position.
.
What shocked Dong Zhuo the most was that Chu Tian had the audacity to ask Xu Zhou Mu.
Is there such a young Xuzhou Mu in the world?
Moreover, not long ago Dong Zhuo consecrated Tao Qian as Xuzhou Mu in the name of the Emperor. Now Chutian is also competing for Xuzhou Mu, obviously competing with Tao Qian.
The chief counselor Li Ru said: "My lord, he wants Xuzhou to be pastoral. You might as well give it to him and let him compete with Tao Qian for Xuzhou. Then Chu Zimou will have no time to attack the lord."
"Tao Qian is weak, how can he be Chu Zimou's opponent? In two or three years, Chu Zimou will definitely own Xuzhou."
"What's the matter? Even if my lord doesn't grant him the title of Xuzhou Mu, he can still conquer Xuzhou. Whether or not Xuzhou Mu is the icing on the cake is just the icing on the cake, it doesn't matter to him. I have a plan that can create a gap in the hearts of the foreign princes."
"What's the plan?"
"My lord only made Chu Zimou the state shepherd, and the rest of the foreign lords only gave some trivial official positions to their subordinates. In this way, the foreign lords will definitely be suspicious of Chu Zimou, and the Kwantung Allied Forces will be defeated without attacking."
Li Ru's alienation plan is very insidious.
After hearing this, Dong Zhuo finally relaxed his brows and said: "Consecrating Chu Zimou as the Mu of Xuzhou, General Anton, and Marquis of Kaiyang County, all his requirements were met. The other foreign princes only named a few of their subordinates as captains, and they themselves
The official position remains unchanged."
Dong Zhuo sent envoys to communicate with the opposing princes. When the imperial conferment reached the camp of the Guandong princes, Chu Tian realized that something was wrong.
He was tricked by Li Ru.
If he accepts Dong Zhuo's canonization and becomes the Mu of Xuzhou and the General of Anton, then other princes who are allies will have a disapproval of him.
Why did Dong Zhuo only appoint Chu Tian as the governor of the state, while remaining indifferent to other foreign princes?
Even though some people could see that this was Dong Zhuo's plan to alienate him, they still fell for it because they felt unbalanced.
Fang Xuanling dissuaded Chu Tian: "The person who came up with this plan is extremely insidious and wants to put the lord in an unjust position. If the lord accepts it happily, I am afraid that his prestige will be affected in the future."
"It seems that we underestimated Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo has a capable person there."
Chu Tian thought that Dong Zhuo had two military advisors, Li Ru and Jia Xu. He must have seen through his purpose of using the coalition forces of the Kwantung princes to intimidate Chang'an, so they turned against him.
After discussing with Fang Xuanling, Chu Tian decided to take control of Xuzhou first, and then show Xuzhou's pastoral care to the court. Then no one would be able to gossip.
"Please go back and report to Dong Zhuo. If you cannot satisfy everyone, I will not lead Xuzhou alone. We will not retreat."
Chu Tian refused Dong Zhuo's appointment in front of many foreign princes.
Although Xuzhou Mu and General Anton sounded more majestic, Chutian did not dare to lead Xuzhou Mu when there were many foreign princes watching from behind.
Don't worry about scarcity, but worry about inequality.
The envoy sent by Dong Zhuo was in a dilemma: "General Fubo, you should know that it is impossible to establish so many state pastors..."
All the lords want to lead the state pastors. If this continues, the entire state pastors in the Eastern Han District will belong to the alien lords.
"Let Dong Zhuo think of a solution."
Chu Tian's tone was impolite.
