Faced with the dangerous situation where everyone in the world is against each other, Luo Tianming is still calm, as if this is not the case at all.

His calmness made the emperor less panicked, and he still trusted Luo Tianming wholeheartedly and asked him to handle these matters with all his power.

Although there are many aristocratic families that rebel, there are still many aristocratic families who are still loyal to the emperor.

After all, the great man has a history of four hundred years, and there are still many hardcore little brothers. Even though they are dissatisfied with Luo Tianming's suppression of the aristocratic family, they still firmly stand on the emperor's side when it comes to major issues.

Therefore, in fact, the situation in the court is not that bad. As long as the basic foundation is stable, there will be no big problem no matter how chaotic the world is.

What is the basic foundation of the imperial court?

In Luo Tianming's view, it was not the still loyal family and ministers, nor the overflowing money and grain in the warehouse, but the three auxiliary places near Luoyang and Chang'an.

Since ancient times, at least before the Han Dynasty, there has been a saying, "Those who win Guanzhong will win the world."

And Guanzhong is this land area around Luoyang and Chang'an.

The reason for this is that this land was the earliest developed place for the descendants of Yan and Huang. It has a dense population and fertile land. As long as you master it, you will have the capital to dominate the world.

Starting from the earliest Huangdi, the Xia Dynasty, Shang Dynasty, Zhou Dynasty, Qin Dynasty, Han Dynasty, and later Sui Dynasty and Tang Dynasty all took this as the core and then controlled the country.

Now the court is in control of this territory, what else can I worry about?

Luo Tianming first asked Lu Bu to take charge, assisted by Jia Xu, and led 50,000 troops to fight against Dong Zhuo.

The second was Xu Rong, who assisted him with Guo Jia, and also led an army of 50,000 to guard Hulao Pass.

The two of them took away most of the army, and the veteran Huang Zhong stayed to guard Luoyang and could provide timely support whenever there was something wrong.

Lu Bu was born in Bingzhou and fought with foreign races for many years. His combat experience with foreign races can be said to be extremely rich.

Moreover, foreign tribes are usually very upright and don’t like a hundred strategists full of conspiracies, but they are extremely impressed by those who are extremely powerful. Even if this person is the reputation of the people who killed their tribe, they admire them.

Therefore, using Lu Bu to attack Liangzhou, which has a large number of foreign tribes, is to make the best use of everything.

Jia Xu was originally from Liangzhou and was very familiar with Liangzhou. He also had a very gentle temper. It was a perfect match for the team with the more irritable Lu Bu.

Xu Rong was originally a subordinate of Dong Zhuo. Although both sides had already terminated the relationship between master and slaves, they were still embarrassed when facing each other head-on. If not, Xu Rong would be shrunk.

It would be fine to let him guard Hulao Pass. His most famous battle in history was to wipe out Cao Cao's army, which shows that Hulao Pass is his treasure land.

Guo Jia is from a poor family and is naturally inconsistent with the aristocratic family. In addition, he is best at judging the enemy's psychology. A sentence in history when he was dying easily disintegrated the alliance of the Yuan brothers, allowing Cao Cao to recover the north without any effort. Now he is asked to deal with the coalition forces of dozens of aristocratic families. He can play too many places, and it can be said that he is like a fish in water.

As for Xun Yu, Luo Tianming regarded him as Xiao Helai, who handled internal affairs and managed logistics in the rear.

Don’t think that internal affairs and logistics are not important. Xiao He is the one who is in charge of internal affairs and logistics, but Liu Bang is the first achievement in the Han Dynasty. It is not unreasonable. Therefore, Luo Tianming asked him to stay in the rear, which is definitely a repurpose.

But everyone else reused it, Luo Tianming became the boss. Others were busy, and he was leisurely all day long, which made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

It would be fine if you say you are your lord, but unfortunately you are not. Everyone is the emperor's minister. Even if you have the highest status, there is no reason to let others do all their work. Are you free and long hair?

But if they want to share their work with Luo Tianming, they are a little reluctant to let it go.

Having work means having power. Everyone wants the greater the power, the better. Who is willing to distribute power to others?

So, these people were jealous of Luo Tianming's leisure and worked hard, and they all felt very accomplished.

In the early days of dozens of aristocratic families' rebellion, they were able to work together to form a coalition force to attack Hulao Pass.

However, Xu Rong only used only 50,000 troops to keep Hulao Pass as impregnable.

The coalition forces of the aristocratic family fought for several months but failed. They inevitably began to blame each other. No one was willing to lose their strength and make wedding dresses for others.

When there was a problem within the coalition, it was Guo Jia's turn to show his skills. Several consecutive strategies led to the rapid deepening of the conflicts within the coalition. Finally, internal strife broke out, and the coalition dispersed in a hurry.

After each family returned to their own territory, they began to make their own plans.

Some want to overthrow the great man and sit on the throne of the emperor; some want to settle for one side, and no matter who becomes the emperor in the future, they can strive for benefits based on their strength; some simply surrender to the emperor again, and regretted the previous rebellious actions.

But no matter which one, they did not dare to shout the slogan of overthrowing the great man directly, but continued to act as a separatist under the name of clearing the king's side.

From this time on, the Han Dynasty officially entered the era of warlord separatism.

It was also from this time that heroes from all walks of life rose one after another, and a group of people who left their names in history began to emerge.

First, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang, who were attacking Hulao Pass when the coalition forces attacked Hulao Pass, made great contributions to defending Hulao Pass.

The second is Cao Cao, who still stood on the side of the coalition forces, and was also an important organizer of the coalition forces. After the coalition forces were disbanded, they occupied Yanzhou, nominally depended on the Yuan family, and actually fought for territory to conquer the world.

Sun Jian had no chance to get the imperial seal, so he could only continue to work for Yuan Shu. But Yuan Shu was not the material for fighting for the world. The two of them quickly turned their faces and began to do their own affairs.

Others include Gongsun Zan, Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Ma Teng and others, and they all have many scenes.

It is worth mentioning that because Gongsun Zan was also on the side of the aristocratic family, Zhao Yun did not follow him, but like Liu Bei, he also came to surrender to Xu Rong.

But he came a little late. When he came to surrender, the coalition forces had already dispersed and had no chance to make meritorious service. They could only be a leader among the cavalry under Xu Rong's command.

But Liu Bei did have a keen eye to recognize people. He liked Zhao Yun very much as soon as he saw him and tried every means to pull him under his command.

Zhao Yun was also a freshman at this time and was a simple child. He was fooled and agreed to surrender to Liu Bei in a few seconds.

Unfortunately, after Luo Tianming heard about Liu Bei's name, he called him to go to Luoyang. Liu Bei couldn't bear to leave Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun, so he took them with him.
