Three Kingdoms: This Lu Bu Loves Farming so Much

This Lu Bu doesn't like farming at all

It's okay, just don't write about how the protagonist is brave enough to go out alone to talk things over in the future This is not bravery, it's just psychosis

Author, where did you write about farming?

The writing is just a bit long-winded, with too many explanations and too little plot. .

If you want to write about farming, you have to start when you have nothing and you are still fighting alien races. It is the best start.

Integration of preset settings Time: In the first year of Jian'an (196), a doctor of modern history and social sciences traveled through time and became Lu Bu. He was the first to welcome Emperor Xian and moved the capital to Xiapi in Xuzhou. New core plot: Lü Bu marries his daughter to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and Lü Bu officially becomes a relative of the Han Dynasty. Emperor Xian went through the rebellions of Li Jue and Guo Si and suffered the pain of displacement. After comparing various warlords, he decided that Lü Bu was the only reliable protector and truly trusted Lü Bu. Basic constraints remain unchanged: 1. Productivity is still at the level of the late Han Dynasty, and there is no black technology for time travel; 2. The old stain of Lu Bu's murder of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo cannot be completely erased; 3. The local nobles in Xuzhou (Chen Deng, etc.) Are naturally wary of foreign warlords; 4. Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Chen Gong retain their original characters and lead the strategy of time travel through Lu Bu. The key difference: Originally, Emperor Xian and Lu Bu were monarchs and ministers who were suspicious of each other. Now, the superposition of the family relationship between the son-in-law and the subjective trust of Emperor Xian completely changes the logic of the game at the bottom of the court and eliminates the trigger of public opinion that "Lü Bu massacres ministers and repeats Dong Zhuo's rebellion." 1. How to implement the marriage and solidify the foundation of trust When Emperor Xian arrived in Luoyang, the palace people were scattered and all the officials were hungry. Lu Bu took the initiative to propose a marriage through time: making his daughter his queen. The Han ministers in the DPRK were divided into two factions: - Conservative veterans strongly opposed: Lu Bu was born as a martial artist and had a reputation for repeated attacks. Once he became a foreign relative, the combination of military power + foreign relative status would threaten the imperial power; - Emperor Xianli opposed all opinions: he had personally seen Li Guo slaughter courtiers and Dong Zhuo insulting the emperor. From the perspective of Emperor Xian: Without soldiers and horses, the officials of the Han Dynasty had no ability to protect themselves. Lu Bu has elite soldiers, and if they are married, the royal family will have a barrier. Lü Bu (the time traveler) made an important promise in exchange for the courtiers' compromise: 1. Daily government affairs will be handled by Shangshutai and Han ministers, and they will not interfere in civil affairs at will; 2. The imperial army is divided into two parts: one part of the royal guard, and part of Lu Bu's army to jointly defend the capital; 3. Make an oath: serve the Han for life, and will never force the emperor to abdicate. After the marriage was completed, Lu Bu's identity changed: a relative of the Han Dynasty, the general of Zhendong, the Marquis of Wen, and the commander-in-chief of the imperial court. It is no longer just "foreign warlords holding the emperor hostage", but legally it has become the backer of the royal family. External public opinion has undergone a major change: In the past, the princes could easily shout "Crunt Lu Bu and save the emperor"; now, rashly attacking Xiapi is equivalent to attacking the royal relatives, which is tantamount to conspiracy, and the moral cost has increased significantly. 2. The relationship between Emperor Xian and Lu Bu (core highlights) Emperor Xian knew that he did not have a strong army directly under him, so he took the initiative to deeply bind Lu Bu: 1. For external edicts and major decisions, Lu Bu was consulted first; Lu Bu submitted national policies, and Xian Emperor mostly accepted them; 2. Emperor Xian took the initiative to mediate the conflicts between Lu Bu and the Xuzhou nobles and court officials; 3. Lu Bu also made full use of Emperor Xian's trust to avoid the biggest shortcomings of the original Lu Bu: he no longer was good at killing, wantonly suspected civil servants, and when there were political differences, he relied on the emperor to mediate rather than use force to persuade. But there are still potential long-term conflicts between the two: The short-term goals are the same: survive, quell the troubled times, and expel the separatist princes. The long-term goals are naturally different: - Emperor Xian's goal: to recover the counties and counties in the world, restore the authority of the Han Dynasty, and gradually take back military power in the future; - Traveling through Lu Bu, he knows the rules of troubled times: once military power is given away, the royal family will most likely be at the mercy of others again. He can be loyal to the Han Dynasty, but he must not disband easily. The trust between the two is real, and the long-term power differences exist objectively. The conflict will not break out immediately, but will be postponed until the world is generally calm. 3. Immediate changes in the situation of the princes of the world 1. Cao Cao (the biggest impact) Cao Cao originally planned to welcome Emperor Xian to occupy Dayi, but the plan failed, and he met Lu Bu who was promoted to a relative of the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao did not dare to take the lead in a large-scale attack on Xiapi. Once war breaks out, Lu Bu can issue an edict in the name of the emperor and reprimand Cao Cao for committing treason. Cao Cao's strategy adjustment: - On the surface, he surrendered to the court and accepted the canonization of Emperor Xian; - Secretly continued to bribe the Chen family in Xuzhou and looked for internal conflicts within Lu Bu's group; - Accumulated strength, prioritized the consolidation of Yanzhou, and waited for cracks to appear within Lu Bu; - Continued to spread rumors: "Lü Bu is in charge of the military as a foreign relative, and will eventually imitate Wang Mang," driving a wedge between Emperor Xian and Lu Bu. 2. Yuan Shao Yuan Shao has always despised Emperor Xian (Dong Zhuo supported him), and now the situation is even more embarrassing. If he openly resists the imperial court, he is tantamount to confronting the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty; Yuan Shao is unwilling to submit to Lu Bu. The best choice: continue to wait and see, use all your strength to destroy Gongsun Zan, and unify Hebei. Try to avoid a head-on conflict with Lu Bu and watch Lu Bu and Cao Cao consume each other. 3. Yuan Shu Yuan Shu's plan to become emperor suffered a devastating blow. Everyone knows the history of Wang Mang's foreign relatives usurping the Han Dynasty, and Lu Bu is now a foreign relative of the dynasty. Yuan Shu wanted to claim that the Han Dynasty's destiny was over, but his persuasiveness was greatly reduced. Yuan Shu would speed up his proclaiming himself emperor and move south and north to attack Xuzhou as soon as possible. Lu Bu took advantage of the situation and issued an edict against Yuan Shu in the name of the emperor, calling on the world to attack Yuan Shu. Prediction: Yuan Shu will be defeated faster than the official history. After Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shu, he annexed Huainan and obtained a large area of ​​cultivated land and the Huaihe River defense line. Xuzhou + Huainan were connected into one, and the strategic depth was greatly expanded. 4. Sun Ce, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and Sun Ce were not strong enough to challenge the imperial court alone. Nominally, they respect the edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and maintain the separatist rule. Sun Ce will wait for the opportunity to compete for Guangling, and there will be constant small-scale frictions, but he will not launch a full-scale war. 5. Liu Bei Traveling through Lu Bu is familiar with Liu Bei's ambitions. Now that he has the status of a foreign relative + the emperor's trust, the handling method is more calm: Give Liu Bei a false position granted by the court, superficial courtesy, and strictly restrict Liu Bei's control of land and tribes. Emperor Xian trusted Lu Bu and would follow Lu Bu's advice and would not reuse Liu Bei. It is difficult for Liu Bei to replicate the opportunity of Zhengshi's independent rise. There is a high probability that Liu Bei will remain dormant for a long time and it will be difficult to form a force. 4. Mid-term strategic line (196–202 Execution plan for crossing Lu Bu) 1. Digest Xu and Huai Promote farming, appease the refugees, and flexibly win over the Xuzhou nobles; gradually suppress the powerful forces who are unwilling to cooperate and secretly collude with Cao Cao, and do not easily massacre to avoid provoking rebellion. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao served as the pillars of the army, while Chen Gong was responsible for local strategic planning. 2. Joint layout Use the emperor's edict to continue to win over Liu Biao and Liu Zhang and isolate Cao Cao. Core diplomatic choice: After Yuan Shao unified Hebei, he gave priority to joining forces with Yuan to fight against Cao. Cao Cao is located in the Central Plains, sandwiched between the two major forces of Hebei Yuan Shao and Southeast Lu Bu. With the alliance of two powerful men, Cao Cao will be trapped in a two-front battle, and the pressure for survival will increase sharply. 3. Public Opinion Defense Continue to respond to the rumor that "Lü Bu is Wang Mang's second best" and rely on Emperor Xian to publicly express his trust in Lü Bu to stabilize the hearts of the ruling and opposition parties. 5. The two final directions of the deduction Route A: The optimal ending (about 30% probability) Lu Bu and Yuan Shao defeated Cao Cao and captured Yanzhou, so that the imperial court could go north and return to the hinterland of the Central Plains. The structure of the world: Yuan Shao occupied Hebei; Lu Bu controlled the Central Plains, Xu, and Huaihe, holding Emperor Xian under threat. After defeating Cao Cao, the alliance quickly collapsed and Yuan Shao faced off with Lu Bu. Two follow-ups: 1. Lu Bu defeated Yuan Shao and unified the north. The world is finally settled. At this time we face the ultimate problem: the transfer of military power. The best solution for traveling through Lu Bu: not usurping the throne. Following the example of Huo Guang, after the world was pacified, he gradually disbanded his private soldiers and established a new army directly under the emperor. He retained his title and status as a relative, sat in charge of the local area, and completed the resurgence of the Han Dynasty. The risk was extremely high. Once military power was relaxed, future generations would be easily liquidated. 2. The long-term confrontation between the North and the South has formed a new situation of division. Route B: High probability direction (about 70% probability) Yuan Shao is afraid that Lu Bu holds the throne, and is unwilling to cooperate fully, and the alliance is loose. Cao Cao relied on the Central Plains gentry foundation and excellent strategies to continuously consume Lu Bu. Although Xuzhou is rich, its population and war potential have long been weaker than those of the Central Plains and Hebei. Under the protracted war, Chen Deng and other noble clans continued to suffer from internal strife and faced huge pressure on food and grass. Even though Lu Bu won many military battles, it was difficult to completely eliminate Cao Cao. Worst case scenario: Xiapi is besieged. If the trust between the monarch, his ministers, and his son-in-law is not broken, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng will not rebel; but if it is consumed for a long time, they will eventually be forced to shrink their strategy. 6. The core highlights that are different from the ordinary "holding the emperor" setting 1. Change in the nature of the relationship Cao Cao and Emperor Xian are rulers and puppets; here Lu Bu and Emperor Xian are the son-in-law, and Emperor Xian actively trusts them. There is no main line of "the emperor tried every means to conspire to kill the powerful ministers". It is almost impossible to repeat the incident of the Yidaizhao. 2. The moral threshold is completely different Outsiders can attack Cao Cao in the name of "rescuing the emperor"; attacking his relative Lu Bu is equivalent to challenging the royal in-laws, and the legitimacy of the princes' army is seriously insufficient. 3. The internal stability of Lu Bu Group has increased Originally Lu Bu was suspicious and centrifugal; now with the emperor's trust as the endorsement of legitimacy, it is easier to suppress internal conflicts through Lu Bu, and the possibility of rebellion by generals such as Wei Xu and Song Xian is greatly reduced. Extended thoughts on a key hidden danger Even if Emperor Xian trusted Lu Bu wholeheartedly at the moment, decades later. When the descendants of Emperor Xian grow up and the new generation of courtiers in the court grow up, they will continue to advocate "the exclusive power of relatives". The trust of one generation is difficult to pass on to two generations. Even if Lu Bu had no intention of usurping the throne, irreconcilable power conflicts would still break out between his descendants, his generals, and the next generation of the royal family. If you want, we can continue to deduce: after defeating Cao Cao, the decisive battle in the Central Plains between Lu Bu and Yuan Shao, or the power conflict between Prince Xian and the Lu Bu family many years later.
