Chapter 2850 3113 Cavalry General (Part 2)

Among the many local governors of the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty, Ding Yuan's military force should be numbered. However, because he had an adopted son, Lu Bu, who had incredible martial arts skills, his martial arts skills were habitually ignored by others in comparison with Lu Bu.

However, how can someone who can leave the words "brave and courageous" in the history books be an ordinary general?

Ding Yuan's martial arts were very powerful, but relatively speaking, his martial arts, especially in the area of ​​courting people, was very poor.

His most famous deed is that he was killed by his adopted son Lu Bu, who he regarded as a confidant. Ding Jianyang and Lu Fengxian, the adopted father and son, have also been mentioned many times by future generations. Most people's evaluation is that Ding Yuan was a loyal and patriotic person, but he could not distinguish Lu Bu's ambition, which led to the final outcome.

However, in Lin Tianyao's view, Lu Bu's betrayal of Ding Yuan was not an accident. Although Lu Bu is greedy, he is not a brainless person. He knew very well what kind of infamy he would suffer if he betrayed Ding Yuan, but he still did it without hesitation. This shows what?

Lu Bu did not live happily under Dingyuan. This point is reflected in both "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms". As the governor of a state, although Ding Yuan preferred martial arts, he could not completely abandon martial arts. Moreover, the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty were an era when local clans controlled politics. Ding Yuan's background did not give him much help. His arrival at this stage was due to his personal bravery and talents on the one hand, and on the other hand, his close ties with others. They hugged each other with the aristocratic family.

The aristocratic family headed by the Shangdang Governor Zhang Yang once controlled Bingzhou for a long time. However, under Ding Yuan's policy of attacking and promoting newcomers, Lu Bu emerged as the leader of the military commander faction and quickly established a foothold in the army by relying on his personal bravery. , there is still a tendency to overtake Zhang Yang and become the number one person under Ding Yuan's rule.

However, Zhang Yang was not someone to be trifled with, and Ding Yuan, who was originally Lu Bu's biggest backer, didn't want to see how old Lu Bu's family was, so he also started to attack Lu Bu. Of course, all of this is unspeakable on the surface and is done secretly.

As a chief, what you have to do is to take advantage of the conflicts among the officials below to maintain your rule. After all, there will always be factionalism, and a wise leader will demand not internal monolithicness but control.

Ding Yuan was quite successful in balancing the political situation in Bingzhou, but his actions also laid the foundation for his future outcome.

Lu Bu didn't succumb to others, nor was he a fool. When his wings began to become fuller, how could he dare to succumb to Ding Yuan? Just because Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, acted as a check on the outside, many of his subordinates were loyal to Ding Yuan on the inside. Therefore, he could tolerate Ding Yuan continuing to be his "adopted father".

Ding Yuan was not unaware of all this, but he didn't take it seriously. Therefore, when Dong Zhuo found Lu Bu, Ding Yuan's death was already determined.

With Dong Zhuo's support, what does Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, mean? If any of my subordinates are dissatisfied, just kill them all!

What Lu Bu was waiting for was just an opportunity, an opportunity to escape from Ding Yuan. And that time is not far away.

Having said that, there is an inherent contradiction between the military commander faction represented by Lu Bu and the civil servants represented by Zhang Yang, that is, the local aristocratic families. Although Lu Bu was not present, the generals present almost unanimously persuaded Ding Yuan according to his plan. And Zhang Yang, the governor of Shangdang, was not a fool. He naturally understood the other party's intentions, so he immediately jumped out to fight back.

Over the years, their local aristocratic family has been severely beaten by Ding Yuan, and even Zhang Yang, the representative of the aristocratic family, was suppressed by Lu Bu. The root cause is that in such troubled times, there is a lack of outstanding generals on the side of the aristocratic families. As for the army?

The aristocratic families have plenty of money and food. In such troubled times, it is too easy for the aristocratic families to develop an army. All they lacked was a general to lead the army. The appearance of Lin Tianyao and Zhang Liao undoubtedly gave them a goal.

Lin Tianyao is a general who can subdue tigers. Although Zhang Liao is young, he is also skilled in bow and horse. In time, he may become a famous general. These two people will have a huge impact on the future situation of Bingzhou, so they must fight for it no matter what.

Ding Yuan couldn't help but ponder after hearing what Song Xian and Shangdang Governor Zhang Yang said. He is the governor of a state, and he has always known about the differences between the civil servants and military commanders, and he is even the leader behind it. But now, around Lin Tianyao and Zhang Liao, civil servants and military generals are fighting again.

He must carefully consider what he says, and he must work hard to maintain a balance between the two. No matter which side is suppressed, it will be extremely detrimental to his rule. And he only now realized the weight of Lin Tianyao and Zhang Liao in the eyes of these two parties.

He also understood what the general was thinking. Lu Bu would not allow such an outstanding general to grow up and threaten his status. He might not take action against Zhang Liao and Lin Tianyao, but there were other ways to prevent them from becoming generals without dying. The civil service group might have obtained the exact information about Lin Tianyao before he did, and wanted to bring him under his command.

Although Zhang Liao is still young, he has also shown his potential. Not to mention that his family, the Zhang family, is a well-established family in Mayi. Therefore, his value is also very huge

At this moment, Lin Tianyao and Zhang Liao would not realize that the two of them were like a piece of cake on the side of the Bingzhou civil servants, and they were bound to win. And for the same reason, the military commanders would never allow such two people to fall into the civil service group.

What is not obtained is destroyed, and in the army, no matter how strong a person is, there is still a way to make him disappear. ....
