The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

People under the eaves had to bow their heads, and Li Jue could only say yes.

As if he could see what Li Jue was thinking, Lu Bu said: "In the Xuzhou army, the strong are the most important. If General Li has enough strength, it is entirely possible to become the top ten generals under the Marquis's account. of."

"The general will understand." Li Jue was much relieved when he heard this.

On the way to Xuzhou, Li Jue still had a certain understanding of the situation in the Xuzhou army.

How many unknown generals have made great achievements after they came to Lv Bu's command. This is also the reason why Li Jue came to Lv Bu's command.

As a general, Li Jue still has a lot of confidence in his own abilities. As long as Lu Bu gives him the opportunity, he will be able to achieve greater achievements under Lu Bu's command.

Of course, the premise is that Lu Bu has a certain amount of trust in him. If he can't even have the basic trust, even if Li Jue has superb abilities, he can't even think about getting ahead in the Xuzhou army.

The trust of the monarch is too important for a general.

"The Marquis has heard of Zhiran's ability to lead the army. This is why Zhiran can directly serve as a lieutenant in the Xuzhou Army. Now in the Xuzhou Army, the lieutenant is only in charge of hundreds of people. But as long as you perform well in general, you will get a chance to be promoted." Lu Bu said.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen, the final general will do his best to conquer the enemy for Marquis Wen." Li Jue clasped his fists.

Lu Bu nodded slightly. From Li Jue's expression, he saw respect, and Li Jue was indeed desperate. Otherwise, he would not have come to Xuzhou. Such a general is good for the development of the Xuzhou army. of.

Li Su, as his fellow countryman, had nowhere to go in Chang'an, so it was reasonable to come to Xuzhou to seek refuge. The reason why Li Su fled Chang'an with Li Su may have something to do with his preparation to come to Xuzhou.

After Li Jue and Li Su left, Lu Bu turned his attention to Jia Xu, "Wenhe should pay more attention to these two in the future."

"The subordinate understands." Jia Xu clasped his hands, he must be on guard against others, he still understands this point.

"However, Li Jue is a rare general. If he can really be used by this Marquis, it will be helpful to the improvement of military strength." Lu Bu laughed.

Jia Xu nodded. At present, the Xuzhou army is expanding on a large scale and has recruited a large number of soldiers. Lu Bu has many strong generals under his tent, such as Cao Xing, Wei Xu, Hao Meng and others, who can all guard one side, but as With the increase of the rule of land, these generals are scattered to various places, and the demand for generals in the army is still relatively large.

"Congratulations, my lord, for getting such a good general." Jia Xu said.

The reason why Li Jue is praised as a good general is because Li Jue is best at leading troops in battle, and he has strong personal skills in martial arts. Relatively speaking, the ability of a general to march and fight is the most important thing for a monarch.

The development of the Xuzhou Army requires good generals. When the strength of a prince has developed to a certain level, the demand for good generals will be even greater.

Chapter 408 Jingzhou Kuaiyue

Lu Bu said: "The Xuzhou army can have greater development, which is the best."

"After Wang Yue went to Jiangdong, is there any news?"

Jia Xu said: "My subordinates just got the news that Wang Yue is still dormant in Jiangdong. It is the time when the Jiangdong army is attacking Jiangxia. It is extremely difficult to sneak into the army and assassinate Sun Ce."

Lu Bu said: "Tell Wang Yue that there is no need to worry. It will not be too late after the Jiangdong Army withdraws from Jingzhou."

"Here." Jia Xu cupped his hands.

Sun Ce has a high prestige in Jiangdong, and his attack on Jingzhou will bring great pressure to Liu Biao. In addition, the Jingzhou army and Yuan Shu will fight against Yuzhou, which will form a great preference for Jingzhou's strength. This situation is exactly what Lu Bu wants to see. It is very important to use the hands of other princes to consume Liu Biao's strength as much as possible.

In the future development, both Yuan Shu and Liu Biao will become his enemies. Since they are both enemies, wouldn't it be a good thing to weaken the strength of future enemies as much as possible now.

It is normal for the swords of the princes to use each other. As long as there are enough interests, even allies will sometimes betray.

"Pay more attention to the situation in Jingzhou." Lu Bu said, "Try to intensify the battle between the Jingzhou army and Yuan Shu."

"The envoys from Jingzhou asked to see the lord many times." Jia Xu said, "It is expected that the lord sold the weapon to Yuan Shu, which made Jingzhou feel the urgency of the situation."

Lu Bu laughed and said, "In the old days, Liu Biao was able to sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight, but now this Marquis can too."

"Let the envoy of Jingzhou come to see Ben Hou tomorrow."

The envoy from Jingzhou who came to Pengcheng this time was Kuai Yue and Kuai Yidu. The Kuai family where Kuai Yue lived was one of the prominent families in Nanjun. The Kuai family was very helpful to Liu Biao in stabilizing the situation in Jingzhou, and the influence of the Kuai family in Jingzhou was significantly improved.

As an envoy from Jingzhou to Xuzhou, Kuai Yue naturally wanted to win more benefits for Jingzhou. Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are hostile parties. If Yuan Shu can be shattered, Lu Bu will definitely be happy to see it. Of course, this is the opinion of ordinary people. .

After reaching the level of one of the princes, they will not look at things so superficially. What they pursue is to maximize their own interests. Although Yuan Shu failed on the battlefield in Xuzhou, his own background is still extremely strong. It is very difficult to take advantage of Yuan Shu.

Although Lu Bu and Yuan Shu had a grudge, Jingzhou did not hesitate to criticize Lu Bu. Even at the critical moment when Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, Liu Biao did nothing else. This alone will make Lu Bu treat Liu Biao even more. many ideas.

But whoever becomes a vassal, how many of them are the easy ones.

The biggest possibility was that Lv Bu sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, but Lv Bu sold Yuan Shubai to refine the weapon, which made Jingzhou a little anxious. While scolding Lv Bu, they wanted to urge Kuai Yue to get in touch with Lv Bu.

After entering Xuzhou, Kuai Yue remained calm and did not visit officials in Xuzhou like other envoys from other princes, because in his opinion, the Jingzhou army would definitely do a lot on the battlefield of Yuzhou, and Yuan Shu failed in the battlefield of Xuzhou. Afterwards, his vitality was severely injured, and it was not something he could do in a short time if he wanted to recover his strength.

The Jingzhou army is strong, and the generals in the army are not weaker than the generals under Yuan Shu in terms of combat experience. Otherwise, why would Sun Jian, the Jiangdong tiger, die at the hands of the Jingzhou army.

However, the situation changed beyond Kuai Yue's expectations. The Jingzhou army did not advance triumphantly on the battlefield in Yuzhou, and even suffered setbacks in its offensive. It seemed that they had to pay a greater price to break through Yuan Shu. In view of this, Jingzhou The higher-ups became even more anxious. This attack was the best opportunity to expand their strength. If they didn't do more on the Yuzhou battlefield, the consequences would be dangerous.

After completely offending Yuan Shu, he will face revenge from Yuan Shu.

The Jiangdong army's attack on Jiangxia brought a lot of pressure to Jingzhou. Sun Ce was outstanding in leading the army, and he was more sturdy than his father Sun Jian's style.

Although the Jingzhou army broke through Yingchuan, once Yuan Shu could get the support from Xuzhou, his strength would definitely be greatly improved, which would be even more unfavorable for the future situation.

The reason why Cao Cao fled from Yanzhou to Jingzhou in the past was because of the alliance between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. The combination of these two will bring the danger of destruction to Jingzhou.

As for the battle between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, the two sides have bitter and deep hatred, but in this world, there are no eternal friends, only permanent interests, and the company of interests can make the cooperation more stable.

After the battle against Yuan Shu, Lu Bu's strength has been significantly improved. As long as he captures the four counties, as long as it can be stabilized, Lu Bu's influence among the princes will be further enhanced.

And in Xuzhou, it was not easy to see Lu Bu. If not, why would the court envoy Yang Feng be complacent because he saw Lu Bu.

At present, Lu Bu's strength can indeed make the princes proud. Other princes also need to think clearly if they want to be enemies with Lu Bu.

Besides, the envoys of the princes came to Pengcheng for the benefit, and Lu Bu controlled the forging method of the hundred-refined weapon, which was the most attractive to the princes.

What Kuai Yue had to admit was that Lv Bu's means of raising money, and now in Pengcheng, there was a lot of paper. Kuai Yue even suspected that Lv Bu controlled the method of making paper.

In this way, Lu Bu can be regarded as one of the terrible princes.

Moreover, when Lu Bu was acting normally, he would not play cards according to common sense at all. As a military commander, he might be a little extreme when thinking about things, and he would even be desperate.

When interacting with princes like Lu Bu, you need to be more cautious.

The Kuai family where Kuai Yue lived was still an influential family in Jingzhou. This time Kuai Yue came here with businessmen from the family following him. Naturally, he wanted to get more benefits from Xuzhou.

There used to be fairy jade in Xuzhou, and now there is even paper. After these things are brought to Jingzhou, they will reap huge profits.

The status of merchants is low, but the major families have to admit that merchants are of great help to the development of their families. If the power of merchants is used properly, they will accumulate a lot of wealth for their families. And this is especially important.

Chapter 409 I Came For The Enemies Of Marquis Wen

Just like the development of Xuzhou, why is it so fast? The cooperation with Lu Bu and Mi Zhu is inseparable.

Don't drive in Xuzhou, you actually started business as a businessman. In the past, you were often criticized by others, but now, when they face this matter, they need to be more cautious, because they also have to learn from Lu Bu. benefit from the hands.

It is inevitable that powerful princes and ministers under their rule will have a higher status.

Kuai Yue also met Mi Zhu before, but he just wanted to get more rights from Mi Zhu, and what he needed was Lu Bu's approval.

After receiving the news from Jia Xu's order, Kuai Yue went to the state pastoral mansion the next day.

The prosperity of Pengcheng is not weaker than that of Jingzhou, and it is even higher. Among them, the number of merchants in the past is not comparable to that of Jingzhou.

Compared with the outer city, the inner city is much quieter, especially near the State Shepherd's Mansion. Even though there are pedestrians passing by, their expressions are quite serious, because there are a lot of soldiers around the State Shepherd's Mansion.

After revealing his identity, Kuai Yue entered the state pastoral mansion under the leadership of his soldiers.

In the State Shepherd's Mansion, there were a lot of officials coming and going, and it seemed very busy.

"The envoy came, but he couldn't meet him far away, and I hope to forgive him." Guo Jia said with a smile.

"You're welcome." Kuai Yue said, cupping his hands. Although Guo Jia is young, he is now one of the military advisors in Xuzhou's army.

"Marquis Wen is in the room, envoy please." Guo Jia gestured with his hand.

After the envoys of the princes came to Pengcheng, they did not receive enough attention. For this reason, many envoys of the princes complained in their hearts, but they had no better way, because Lu Bu was the ruler of Xuzhou, and his words and deeds affected everyone. The first ones will be Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

"I've met Marquis Wen." Kuai Yue saluted neither humble nor overbearing.

"The envoy is welcome." Lu Bu said lightly.

Looking around, Kuai Yue's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that when Lu Bu saw him, Guo Jia was the only one with him.

Under normal circumstances, when the princes see the envoys of other princes, they also attach great importance to it. After all, they are princes of one side and hold great power.

"I don't know why the envoy came here?" Lu Bu asked directly.

Kuai Yue said, "It's for the enemies of Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu showed curiosity, "The envoy will tell you in detail."

"The latter general, Yuan Shu, had a lot of enmity with Marquis Wen. Now that the Jingzhou army is fighting Yuan Shu, isn't it just to eliminate Marquis Wen's confidant?" Kuai Yue said slowly.

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "I see."

"May I ask the envoy, when Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou in the past, why didn't the Jingzhou army move troops?" Guo Jia asked.

Kuai Yue frowned slightly, "Mr. Guo, the situation in Jingzhou is not stable. At that time, there were thieves and thieves under the prefect's rule, so no troops were sent."

Guo Jia nodded with a smile. As long as he was a normal person, he could tell that he didn't trust Kuai Yue's words. Not to mention others, even after Kuai Yue himself finished speaking, it was difficult to gain his own trust. However, there is always an excuse.

"Today, the situation in Jingzhou has stabilized, so we sent troops to attack Yuzhou. However, the battle between Benhou and Yuan Shu has ended, and now we have re-established an alliance." Lu Bu regretted: "Otherwise, with the strength of the Jingzhou army at that time, It will definitely break through the land of Yuzhou, so Yuan Shu can only return to Shouchun in despair."

How could Kuai Yue not have such regrets? After defeating Yuan Shu, it would be of great help to Liu Biao's influence and strength.

However, what happened in Jingzhou was not decided by Liu Biao and the Kuai family. Even if the analysis of the Kuai family was reasonable, it was still difficult to persuade other families to agree to this matter. The main reason was that Yuan Shu was powerful at that time. If Yuan Shu is offended, it will not benefit the development of Jingzhou at all.

In other words, Jingzhou did not expect that Lu Bu would be able to win against Yuan Shu, which was the most unexpected.

Lu Bu's victory disrupted the deployment of Jingzhou, and also gave Jingzhou even more families the hope of expansion.

"Exactly." Kuai Yue said.

"Since the Jingzhou Army is powerful, why are you here?" Lu Bu asked.

Kuai Yue cupped his hands and said, "I'm here to obtain a hundred-refined weapon."

Seeing that Kuai Yue directly explained the purpose of his visit, Lu Bu said: "I do have a lot of Hundred Refined Weapons in my hands, but why should I give them to Jingzhou? You must know that the current princes in the world have a great demand for Hundred Refined Weapons. , they can trade with Ben Hou at any time."

Kuai Yue said: "Although Yuan Shu and Marquis Wen once again formed an alliance, Yuan Shu must have resentment towards Marquis Wen. It was because of Marquis Wen that Yuan Shu lost the land of the four counties. Now it's just that Yuan Shu didn't dare to attack. If we wait until Yuan Shu recuperates Afterwards, can it still be so stable under Marquis Wen's rule?"

"In that case, this Marquis would like to thank the Jingzhou Army. If it wasn't for the Jingzhou Army, wouldn't this Marquis have to face a powerful enemy?" Lu Bu laughed.

Kuai Yue naturally heard the sarcasm in Lu Bu's words, and cupped his hands and said: "What Jingzhou's army lacks is the hundred-refined weapon, and now is Yuan Shu's life and death, if Marquis Wen is willing to send troops, send Yuan Shu It's no problem getting out from Yuzhou."

Lu Bu said: "The Marquis and Yuan Shu are allies, how could they do something that betrayed their promises, otherwise, wouldn't it be another excuse for the literati."

Kuai Yue secretly scolded Lu Bu for being shameless and treacherous. Didn't he always accompany Lu Bu? At this time, he pretended to be so noble in front of him.

"Wenhou, the Jingzhou army's attack on Yuzhou is beneficial to Wenhou." Kuai Yue said.

Lu Bu said slowly: "Jingzhou and Benhou have no intention of alliance, and Benhou has no obligation to support Jingzhou Bingren."

Seeing that the relationship between the two parties was somewhat stiff, Guo Jia hurriedly persuaded him: "My lord, the Jingzhou army attacked Yuzhou and confronted Yuan Shu, weakening Yuan Shu's strength, which is indeed beneficial to my lord."

Hearing this, Kuai Yue looked at Guo Jia a lot more kindly. You must know that Guo Jia had sneered at him on this matter before.

"Wen Hou, Yuan Shu is very strong. Although he was defeated in Xuzhou, the background is still there. If Wen Hou supports Yuan Shu with a large number of weapons, it will cause huge damage to the Jingzhou army. Now Sun Ce is leading the Jiangdong army to attack The land of Jiangxia." Kuai Yue said.

Both Sun Ce and Yuan Shu are Lv Bu's enemies, and Kuai Yue believes that Lv Bu will have the right judgment.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "I will discuss this matter with the officials under my command."

"Thank you Marquis Wen for your understanding." Kuai Yue cupped his hands.

Lu Bu said: "However, this Marquis is not supporting Yuan Shu with weapons, but Yuan Shu bought them with supplies."

Chapter 410

"Jingzhou will do the same," Kuai Yue said.

Talking with Lu Bu, he is really unpredictable.

After Kuai Yue left, Guo Jia said: "If my lord does not support Jingzhou's military training, I am afraid that the Jingzhou army will have the idea of ​​retreating. The current Jingzhou is not stable."

Lv Bu nodded and said, "Feng Xiao's words are true, but the Jingzhou army did not move when Ben Hou and Yuan Shu faced off. Now it is not easy to ask Ben Marquis to support him."
