The rattling of horseshoes and the murderous aura rushing towards them shocked the people on both sides of the street.
In the Governor's Mansion, without Lu Bu's order, the important officials in the city had already gathered. After they learned of Lu Bu's victory, they were eager to express their position. No matter what fantasies they had about Tao Qian in the past, now Tao Qian was defeated and occupied Tao Qian fled in desperation, and no one could influence Lu Bu's rule in Pengcheng for the time being.
Xuzhou is rich and rich, and there are many aristocratic families, but now officials from these aristocratic families dare not show their pride in front of Lu Bu.
"Congratulations to Marquis Wen for defeating the enemy." Chen Deng came out and said.
After the rest of the officials were slightly taken aback, they stepped forward to congratulate.
The battle robe has not been changed, and Lu Bu is like a blood man at this time, but no one dares to be slighted.
Lu Bu coughed lightly and said: "Invading the city where the general is stationed requires a sense of failure. You are all important officials in Pengcheng. I don't want the butcher knife to fall on you in the future. I am loyal to my general. Will not be wronged."
The officials in the arena were moved when they heard the words. From Lu Bu's words, they suddenly felt that Lu Bu was not as simple as a general. After defeating Tao Qian, he had already begun to win people's hearts.
"Marquis Wen, humble position has something to say." Chen Deng cupped his hands.
Lu Bu glanced at Chen Deng, and said calmly, "Yuan Long has something to say, but say it."
"Marquis Wen captured a large number of captives in this battle. If these captives can reclaim wasteland, Xuzhou will definitely have more fields." Chen Deng said.
Lu Bu nodded with a smile, "Yuan Long's words are correct. The matter of the field is of great importance. General Li Dian will assist Yuan Long in this matter. If these captives are dishonest, they will be killed directly and behave peacefully. After three years, they will be killed." regain freedom."
"Here." Chen Deng and Li Dian saluted.
Li Dian understood that this was his first test after joining Lu Bu, and if he could show his ability in this incident, he would get more appointments in the future.
Chapter 28 Yanzhou Messenger
It was a brand new beginning for Li Dian to switch from Cao Cao's account to Lu Bu.
After seeing Chen Deng's performance, the rest of the officials immediately understood what Chen Deng was thinking. This was the Chen family's plan to serve Pengcheng's new master.
The aristocratic family is sometimes practical. They need to see the actual benefits before making a move. Under the current situation, only by better cooperating with Lu Bu can the family get a chance to grow. Otherwise, the family they belong to will be very difficult. It is possible that Xuzhou will suffer certain losses during this change.
With Chen Deng taking the lead and the rest of the officials offering advice and suggestions one after another, the Governor's Mansion seemed very lively.
After everyone left, Lu Bu showed a satisfied smile. Defeating Tao Qian was a good start. His prestige in Xuzhou had been further enhanced. When the order was issued, no Xuzhou official would dare to disobey it.
In troubled times, having strong strength is the last word.
If it weren't for the defeat of Tao Qian, it would not be an easy matter for Lu Bu to conquer the counties and countries in Xuzhou.
A hearty victory is the best proof of strength. Those who resist Lu Bu will bear the wrath of the general army.
Tao Qian's army was defeated, and the people in the city resumed their previous life order. Chen Deng moved very quickly. On the third day, he organized the soldiers in the army to reclaim wasteland. Spring will not be long. No small gain.
On the third day after Tao Qian's army failed, Wang Kai, the emissary of Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, came to Pengcheng.
In fact, Wang Kai came to Pengcheng quietly a long time ago. After hearing that Tao Qian led an army to Pengcheng, he temporarily lived in the city and watched the changes. If Tao Qian had the means to drive Lv Bu out of Pengcheng, there was no need for him to give in to Lv Bu. In any case, it is difficult for Lu Bu to speak soft words to the rebel for the sake of rebellion.
Facts have proved that Tao Qian still can't do it, and he was completely played by Lu Bu. Not only did he suffer heavy losses, but even the family in Pengcheng that supported Tao Qian was taken care of by Lu Bu.
When the news came that the envoy of the governor of Yanzhou had asked to see him, Lü Bu turned his attention to Jia Xu and said, "Sure enough, it's not as expected."
"Wen Hou, Liu Dai's envoy must have arrived in the city long ago, but he was just waiting for Wen Hou to win." Jia Xu laughed.
"Let the envoy from Yanzhou come in," Lu Bu said.
After a while, Wang Kai entered the governor's mansion under the leadership of the soldiers.
The Governor's Mansion in Xuzhou was quite elegantly decorated, but Wang Kai didn't have the heart to appreciate it.
"Wang Kai, the emissary of the Inspector of Yanzhou, has met Marquis Wen." Wang Kai cupped his hands and said.
Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "Liu Dai sent an envoy, but he declared war on this general?"
"Marquis Wen was joking. Inspector Liu praised Wen Hou's bravery so much, how could he act as an enemy of Marquis Wen?" Wang Kai said unhurriedly.
"Since this is the case, why did old Liu Dai send a large army to attack the soldiers and horses under the general's command? If you don't understand this matter, the three thousand cavalry under the general will not agree." Lu Bu snorted coldly.
Wang Kai's heart tightened, he really didn't have much reason to say with generals like Lu Bu, the current situation in Yanzhou is not stable, if Lu Bu led the cavalry to ravage Yanzhou again, it would definitely plunge Yanzhou into even greater chaos.
If Tao Qian had uttered such threatening words, Wang Kai would have just laughed it off. Lü Bu was different, he was a military commander, and he couldn't do anything in a fit of rage.
"Liu Inspector Liu sent a humble official here just to explain this matter, so as not to misunderstand Wen Hou." Wang Kai said: "After Liu Inspector learned that Wen Hou had left Dong Zhuo's old thief, he knew that Wen Hou was a loyal minister of the great man. It is purely a misunderstanding to send a large army to attack the escort of food and supplies."
"Since it was a misunderstanding, the army under Marquis Wen suffered a lot of losses due to the Yanzhou Army's attack. I wonder if Governor Liu will pay for it?" Jia Xu asked.
"Dare to ask who is this?" Wang Kai cast his eyes on Jia Xu, whoever dared to interject when he was talking with Lu Bu must have a high status in Lu Bu's heart.
"A certain person is Jia Xu, the chief bookkeeper under Marquis Wen's account." Jia Xu said flatly.
Wang Kai cupped his hands and said, "So it's Master Jia, sorry."
It wasn't Wang Kai's compliment, but he had really heard of Jia Xu's name, and Yan Zhong praised the wisdom of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping, how could he be an ordinary person? What he didn't understand was why Jia Xu would help Lu Bu.
"Inspector Liu and Marquis Wen are both courtiers of the Han Dynasty. At this time of turmoil in the Han Dynasty, we should work together. For the previous misunderstanding, Inspector Liu deeply apologizes and is willing to recommend Marquis Wen to the imperial court as Chancellor of Pengcheng." Wang Kai said.
Mi Zhu stepped forward and said, "Could it be that Liu's move is to humiliate Marquis Wen?"
"Why did Mi Biejia say that?" Wang Kai still knew Mi Zhu.
Mi Zhu said: "When Marquis Wen occupies Pengcheng, the Xuzhou officials dare not refuse. Isn't that enough?"
Wang Kai understood, and said with a smile: "The humble governor promised to recommend Wenhou to the imperial court as Xuzhou Mu."
"Not only that, but the Yanzhou army needs to pay [-] stones of food and grass, [-] weapons, and [-] sets of armor when they attack my general's soldiers and horses." Lu Bu said lightly: "If Liu Dai can't agree, don't blame my general's iron cavalry. ruthless."
Wang Kai was a little stunned for a while, the two sides made peace in calculation, and it was not like Lu Bu, who directly said the price to death at once. In fact, after Lu Bu defeated Tao Qian, Wang Kai realized that Lu Bu probably would not because of Liu Dai recommended Peng Cheng and gave up, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to open his mouth directly to Yanzhou.
One hundred thousand shi of rice grain is enough to feed tens of thousands of infantry for more than three months, and the value of weapons and armor is even higher. Given the current situation in Yanzhou, it is heartache to take out so many weapons and armor.
"Don't make any preconditions in front of the general. If the general won't see these things within a month, he will order his cavalry to go to Yanzhou to ask for them. Then there won't be such a quantity." Lu Bu said slowly.
In Wang Kai's heart, ten thousand war horses galloped past, this is clearly the act of a rogue.
But in the face of Lu Bu's request, Wang Kai had no choice but to put on a smiling face, "The words of Marquis Wen will be passed on to Inspector Liu."
After Wang Kai left, the officials in Xuzhou felt at ease. With a word from Lu Bu, the majestic governor of Yanzhou would send him compensation, which was unimaginable in the past. Strong military force.
Although Lu Bu had just occupied Xuzhou, who can be sure that Lu Bu would not dare to send cavalry into Yanzhou? Yanzhou is close to Xuzhou, and cavalry can enter Yanzhou within a day.
"By the order of the general, after receiving the order, the prefects and county magistrates of all counties will come to the governor's mansion. After one month, I will entertain officials from all over the governor's mansion in the governor's mansion. If there is any delay, you will bear the consequences." Lu Bu said.
Chapter 29 The princes shake, canonize Xuzhou animal husbandry
The officials of Pengcheng understood that this was after Lv Bu took over Pengcheng, he began to order the officials of Xuzhou. If anyone dared to disobey the orders at this time, he would suffer the power of thunder. Ignoring all of them is enough for Lu Bu to have a headache.
Even if Lu Bu Lu Bu has tens of thousands of troops, it is not a one-time effort to break through a city.
Kuai Ma spread the news to all counties and counties in Xuzhou, and the officialdom in Xuzhou was shaken for a while. It was after Lu Bu captured Pengcheng that he wanted to rule the whole of Xuzhou.
Lv Bu betrayed Dong Zhuo, sent troops to capture Pengcheng, and defeated Tao Qian. The series of incidents made the princes of the world overwhelmed. They could hardly imagine that Dong Zhuo's powerful generals would do such things. This is a clear-cut stand on the opposite side of Dong Zhuo superior.
It should be noted that Lu Bu had fought against the princes of the Kwantung Dynasty outside Hulao Pass before, causing the death of many generals under the command of the Kwantung princes.
He was praised for Yuan Shao, and Wen Chou, who claimed to be able to kill Xiliang's fierce general Hua Xiong, was even beheaded for Lu Bu.
Lu Bu occupied Pengcheng, and Liu Dai and Tao Qian were defeated. The princes suddenly realized that Lu Bu wanted to separate from Dong Zhuo and stand on his own.
The battle at Hulao Pass has fully proved Lu Bu's bravery. After the battle against Dong Zhuo, the princes also have a lot of consumption. They need to recuperate and guard against the attacks of other princes. The influence of the court is no longer what it used to be. A troubled world will be opened.
Yuan Shao was the leader of the allied forces of the princes. After learning about this incident, he immediately stood up and accused Lv Bu of his shameless behavior, and seized the city of Xuzhou. Everyone got it and punished him.
Even the leader of the princes and alliance had such remarks, let alone the other princes, no matter what fear they had for Lu Bu, all the princes accused Lu Bu one after another.
Accusing and attacking Lv Bu are definitely different, but Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, fell silent at such a sensitive moment. His neighbor has changed from the kind Tao Qian to the fierce tiger Lv Bu. It is not he who is going to condemn Lv Bu at this time. , but to face Lu Bu's claim.
Under the persuasion of Wang Kai, Xu Si and others, Liu Dai decided to swallow his anger and wait for Yanzhou to get over the current difficulties before finding Lu Bu to settle the score. As for the compensation materials, he can pay slowly and calm Lu Bu's anger first. is the key.
Secretly, many princes are wooing Xuzhou officials and giving them righteous support.
The feudal lords condemned Lv Bu's capture of Pengcheng in unanimous calibre. After the news spread to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo laughed endlessly. Lv Bu betrayed him. If things happen, you can use Lu Bu's hand to weaken the power of the princes.
"Xiangguo, Yanzhou Inspector Liu Dai recommended Lu Bu to the imperial court as Xuzhou Shepherd." Li Ru said.
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly and said, "Lv Bu betrayed the truth and wanted to become Xuzhou Mu, how can it be so simple, the truth made the emperor order the princes to attack Lu Bu, and let him know the fate of betraying the truth. "
Li Rudao: "If Xiangguo did this, the princes might not attack Lu Bu because of it."
"Why?" Dong Zhuo asked.
"The princes are all rebels, and they don't pay attention to the court. If the Xiangguo orders the princes, how can the princes obey them? However, after the Xiangguo canonize Lu Bu as Xuzhou Shepherd, it will be very different. The princes are afraid of Lu Bu, and they are even more afraid of the Xiangguo. Lü Bu unites against the princes, and he will inevitably send troops to conquer, so the Prime Minister can use the hands of the princes to eradicate Lv Bu." Li Ru said slowly.
Dong Zhuo pondered for a moment when he heard the words, then nodded, "Wen You's words are reasonable, but it's hard for me to confer Lu Bu as Xuzhou Shepherd."
"Xiangguo, those who achieve great things don't care about small details. Liu Dai, the governor of Yanzhou, recommended it to the court, which shows that the Chang'an court has a high prestige among the princes." Li Ru persuaded.
"Okay, according to Wen You's words, conferring Lu Bu as Xuzhou shepherd, Yuan Shao's son, trying to fight against Ben, and trying to support Youzhou shepherd Liu Yu as emperor, is indeed a rebel." Dong Zhuo said.
"Xiangguo should focus on stabilizing the surrounding areas of Chang'an, and send soldiers to defend Hangu Pass, so that it will be difficult for the princes to invade Chang'an. The princes have their own careful thinking, and within a few years, they will definitely attack each other. At that time, Xiangguo can sit back and watch the princes of the world fight. When the time is right, Xiangguo can easily pacify the princes by sending troops, who would dare to disobey Xiangguo?" Li Rudao: "Since Xiangguo has made great contributions, even if he wins the ninth five, it is feasible."
Dong Zhuo couldn't hide his joy, he laughed and said, "Wen You's words are very true."
The emperor was weak, and the officials in the court did not dare to disobey, which allowed Dong Zhuo's ambition to grow. Such an incompetent person could become the emperor. Why couldn't he, but Dong Zhuo also knew that at such a time, the princes of the world should not be aroused to resist.
The feudal lords reprimanded Lu Bu, but the imperial court canonized Lu Bu as the shepherd of Xuzhou, which really made the feudal lords even more afraid of Lu Bu. After all, Lu Bu was Dong Zhuo's adopted son. If Lu Bu betrayed him, it was Dong Zhuo's secret plan. Lu Bu is also imperative.
After the Pengcheng incident came to an end temporarily, Lu Bu immediately ordered Cao Xing to secretly go to Bingzhou to bring his family back.
Integrating Lu Bu's memory and occupying Lu Bu's body, he felt that he should do these things. Lu Bu has always valued family affection.
"Xiu'er, is life okay in the governor's mansion?" One day, after Lu Bu had practiced martial arts in the courtyard, he saw Xiu'er not far away, and asked with a smile.
Xiu'er's face turned red slightly, and Lu Bu's eyes made her feel unbearable, "Thanks to Marquis Wen's concern, the little girl is fine in the mansion."
Facing Xiu'er, Lu Bu has a spontaneous sense of intimacy. In front of her, Lu Bu will throw away his arrogance and coldness in front of civil servants and generals.
"If you need anything, just tell the steward in the mansion." Lu Bu looked at Xiu'er and said, "Does Xiu'er only have this set of clothes?"
"The little girl's clothes were lost outside Luoyang City." Xiu'er said a little embarrassedly, this set of clothes was sent over by Lu Bu after seeing her that day.
Lv Bu laughed and said: "I'm going to ignore this matter, I have nothing to do today, how about going to the city with Xiu'er to buy some cloth?"
Xiu'er shook her head hurriedly when she heard the words: "What is the status of Marquis Wen, the girl's previous outfit can still be worn, there is no need to do so."
Lu Bu raised his face and said, "Don't you even dare to disobey this general's order?"
"The little girl takes orders." Xiu'er bowed Yingying.
"In the future, there is no need to be so polite in front of this general." Lu Bu laughed.
Seeing the smile on Lu Bu's face, Xiu'er was in a daze. During the time she entered Xuzhou, she had heard many things about Lu Bu mentioned by the servants in the mansion.
Chapter 30
Many families in Pengcheng disappeared because of an order from Lu Bu, and Xuzhou Inspector Tao Qian's army was also defeated by Lu Bu. However, when outsiders mentioned the fear of Lu Bu, it gave her a warm feeling.
Pengcheng is four feet high and four feet thick, with a moat of about fifty steps. As the state capital of Xuzhou, the population of Pengcheng is not comparable to that of other cities in Xuzhou. However, Pengcheng is not located in the center of Xuzhou, but close to Yanzhou. It's approaching, if you send troops from Peiguo, you can reach Pengcheng in just one day.
No matter who occupies the city, what the people need is a stable living environment. It is the dream of many people to be able to eat and wear warmth without worrying about food and clothing. The danger is still the reason why they choose to enter the army. Their families cannot support so many people. After they are sent to the army, no matter what, they can at least survive and reduce the burden on the family.
This was the first time Lu Bu went shopping in such a leisurely way since he came to the end of the Han Dynasty, and he was still accompanied by the beautiful Xiu'er.
Xiu'er, who was dressed in a blue dress and covered her face with a green veil, still attracted the attention of many people on the way.
After all, Xiu'er had stayed in the palace before, so she didn't show any fear and followed behind Lu Bu.
Dressed in simple coarse cloth, the passers-by in the market would hardly be able to combine with the current Lv Bu and that iron-blooded and ruthless general in Pengcheng, but the faint aura exuded by Lv Bu made ordinary people dare not approach easily.
"Big Brother." Xiu'er tried to shout.
This is also what Lu Bu specially confessed before leaving. There are too many people in the market, and if you reveal your identity, there may be a lot of trouble.
Lu Bu stopped in his tracks and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Brother's pace is too fast, Xiu'er can't keep up." Xiu'er summoned up her courage.
Lu Bu laughed and said, "Brother is to blame for this matter, because I didn't think carefully about it."
