The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

The accompanying officials also sensed the trouble. As the ruler of one side, Lu Bu was so provocative for the envoys of other princes. One can imagine the anger in his heart. Even if he ordered Feng Lang to be killed, it was reasonable.

"Prepare the chariots and horses, and I will go to the State Shepherd's Mansion right away." Ju Shou ordered.

No matter what the situation is, Feng Lang will definitely be rescued. Yuan Shao and Lu Bu are allies, and I believe that Lu Bu will still give him some face.

People have a face, and the emissary Du Yu's own face is extremely important, because they represent not only themselves, but also the monarch behind them. If there is an inappropriate behavior in handling things, it may attract others. ridiculed.

On the way to the State Shepherd's Mansion, word spread about Feng Lang being imprisoned in prison.

This made Ju Shou's face even more gloomy.

"My lord, the envoy from Jizhou, Jushou, is asking to see you outside the door." Guo Jia had just returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion, and said in a low voice.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "The envoys from Jizhou did not take too long to get the news. The Marquis has just returned to the state pastoral mansion, and the envoys from Jizhou have already arrived."

"The envoys of Jizhou are also concerned about Fenglang's affairs. After all, Fenglang is an official in the team of Jizhou envoys. If such matters are not handled properly, the team of Jizhou envoys will lose face." Guo Jia explained.

"Let Jushou come in." Lu Bu ordered. He also had a lot of curiosity about Jushou. Jushou was a well-known adviser in the late Han Dynasty and one of Yuan Shao's most important advisers. genuine talent.

However, among the counselors who can emerge in this era, there will be no easy ones, and any one of them cannot be underestimated.

After a while, under the leadership of the soldiers, Jushou walked into the State Shepherd's Mansion. Although it was not the first time he came to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Jushou had a different feeling at this time. Among them, Feng Lang, this matter must be handled perfectly, not only to satisfy Lu Bu, but also to make the Jizhou envoy team have face.

Such things are undoubtedly very difficult. The key is what kind of attitude Lu Bu will have on this matter. If Lu Bu's attitude is tough, the Jizhou envoy team will receive more blame, which is also reasonable. .

"I've seen Marquis Wen." Ju Shou cupped his hands.

Lu Bu nodded slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please get up."

Ju Shou was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to directly address him by his nickname, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."

"Marquis Wen's wedding is a great joy for Pengcheng." Ju Shou said with a smile.

Seeing that Jushou didn't directly explain the purpose of coming, Lu Bu didn't feel the slightest anxiety. Anyway, he is the one who has the initiative now.

"Marquis Wen's bravery is world-renowned. In the battle of Xuzhou, he defeated the famous general Yuan Shu and also withstood the attack from the Jiangdong Army. Marquis Wen's tent is really extraordinary..." Ju Shou said eloquently After a long conversation, the conversation changed: "Marquis Wen is a man of generosity. Previously, there were officials in Jizhou messing around in the Pengcheng restaurant and breaking the rules of Pengcheng. I hope Marquis Wen can punish them."

There was a smile on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth. No prince would feel disgusted after hearing Jushou's words. If Jushou came up to intercede for Fenglang, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced. After all, Fenglang had offended him. It was Lu Bu.

But after such praise, Lu Bu will be more cautious when dealing with Fenglang's affairs. After all, according to Jushou, he is a generous person. If things happen, it will definitely have a certain impact on Lu Bu's face and reputation.

A smart person will have more flexibility in the way of speaking, especially when facing the monarch, a better way of speaking will have a greater influence on a courtier.

Among the princes, Lu Bu is well-known. Perhaps, among the princes, Lu Bu's reputation is not very good. This does not mean that Lu Bu does not pay enough attention to his own reputation.

The influence of reputation is very great, especially for the princes, having a better reputation means that they will have a greater advantage when recruiting talents. In terms of background, it far exceeds other princes.

At present, the combat power displayed by the soldiers under Lu Bu's command is indeed strong, but this does not mean that Lu Bu's background is stronger than other princes.

For example, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are both members of the Yuan family of four generations and three princes. They are well-known, and many literati rushed to seek refuge.

And this background is exactly what Lu Bu lacks. The current Lu Bu is strong, but after a few years, will this situation change?

"It turns out that Gongyu beat around the bush because of Feng Lang's affairs. The Gongyu must have heard about what happened in the restaurant. Feng Lang was too arrogant to kill a servant of the restaurant in Pengcheng. , How bad is such an act, if not punished, how can we be able to convince the public." Lu Bu said slowly.

Ju Shou cupped his hands and said: "Marquis Wen's words are very true, the punishment is due, and the humble official is willing to make compensation."

"If you kill someone, you should pay with your life," Lu Bu said.

Ju Shou was a little dazed, and his expression became dignified. It is not bad to kill someone, but the key is to see who the killer is.

"Marquis Wen, Feng Lang didn't intend to kill this servant at that time, but the guards around him did it without authorization. I hope Marquis Wen will find out clearly." Ju Shou said.

"Because of this matter, the business of Pengcheng Restaurant will definitely be greatly affected." Lu Bu said, "The dead servants of the restaurant must be properly settled, and the compensation should not be less than [-] yuan."

"Understand the humble job." Ju Shou cupped his hands, secretly thinking that the price of a servant in a restaurant is really expensive. If this kind of thing is put in Jizhou, I am afraid that it only needs to bury the servant and let it go. How can ordinary people dare to go to the government? Can't fight.

But not now. In Xuzhou, their lives are in the hands of Lu Bu. If Lu Bu uses this as an excuse to kill Feng Lang, the impact on Lu Bu will not be too great. On the contrary, it will damage Yuan Shao's reputation .

The same is the envoy of the princes, Jizhou and Lu Bu are still allies, but after arriving in Pengcheng, they received such treatment, which will make people despise Jizhou.

Chapter 425

It is very necessary to properly handle this matter, which is also the reason why Jushou came to the State Shepherd's Mansion in person. In terms of face, Jushou attaches great importance to his own face.

After such a thing happened, Jushou had to lower his face.

"This Marquis does not want such things to happen in the team of envoys in Jizhou in the future. What Xuzhou needs is stability. Other princes sent envoys to Pengcheng to congratulate this Marquis on his wedding. Naturally, this Marquis is happy. If you make trouble If that's the case, the Marquis won't be relentless." Lu Bu said in a low voice.

"Humble job understands, please rest assured, Marquis Wen." Ju Shou cupped his hands.

After leaving the State Shepherd's Mansion, Jushou's mood was a little dignified. Although Lu Bu had shown kindness just now, Jushou felt that there was more strength in the kindness. Such a strong temperament was not even possessed by Yuan Shao.

This is also related to the process of Lu Bu gaining a foothold among the princes. In order to stand among the princes, Lu Bu paid a lot of price. If Lu Bu showed weakness, wouldn't it give other princes the opportunity to attack Xuzhou.

No matter what the reason is, being able to rescue Feng Lang is enough for Ju Shou.

"When Jushou sees Feng Lang, he will definitely be surprised." Guo Jia laughed.

Lu Bu nodded knowingly. The more arrogant a person is, the more he will suffer in the prison. This is for sure. Besides, it was Xu Huang who brought Feng Lang back to the prison.

In the prison, Feng Lang no longer had the same look as before. At the beginning, he was able to show his arrogance, because he was an official in the Jizhou emissary team, and he was also the official in charge of the second team of envoys to Pengcheng. Among the team, there is a lot of reputation, and in the prison, it is reasonable to show arrogance.

After the three whips went down, Feng Lang no longer had the arrogance he had in the past, and the jailers attacked, but it didn't matter how serious they were.

The pain in his body made Feng Lang keep begging for mercy, and he even looked at the jailer with a lot of fear.

In the end, Feng Lang even shed tears. Having lived in a wealthy family since he was a child, he had never suffered such hardships.

Xu Huang sneered and said, "Didn't you act very arrogantly when you were in the restaurant before, and even claimed that you were the envoy of Jizhou? I just learned that the envoy of Jizhou was Jushou, and it wasn't you Fenglang who pretended to be the envoy of Jizhou." , this kind of crime, it is not too much to directly pull out and behead the capital."

Feng Lang's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said: "General Xu, I am really the envoy of Jizhou."

Xu Huang said: "I don't care if you are a messenger or not. After doing such things in the city, you will be punished accordingly. Otherwise, how convincing you are."

"General Xu, please forgive me. I am not the one who killed you."

"In front of General Xu, you dare to call yourself your own official, three more whips." A soldier shouted coldly.

After Feng Lang came to his senses, he hurriedly said: "It was my mistake just now, I hope General Xu can make a big mistake and avoid it next time, I will be grateful."

Jushou, who had just entered the prison, frowned even more when he heard Feng Lang's shout and saw Feng Lang's behavior. Being held in prison, so what, the big deal is death.

To protect the face of the Jizhou envoy team is to protect the face of the Jizhou envoy team. This is what the officials in the envoy team should do. Feng Lang is usually in the envoy team and talks a lot, but when it comes to the actual implementation, it seems that it is not the case. up.

"May I ask if this is General Xu Huang?" Ju Shou cupped his hands.

Xu Huang nodded slightly. An order came from the State Shepherd's Mansion before, but Xu Huang didn't intend to let Feng Lang leave so easily, that's why the scene just now happened.

After some negotiation between the two, Jushou took away the dying Feng Lang.

The news about Feng Lang, the envoy of Jizhou, also spread quickly in the city. After this incident, the envoys of all parties have stricter requirements on their subordinates. The accusation is not only that the officials who are on the mission have no face, but also the princes behind them will definitely be affected in terms of reputation.

However, anyone who becomes an envoy has a certain status and talent. If he is not good enough in the matter of envoys, his status in the minds of the princes will also decline.

What happened in the Jizhou envoy team this time can be regarded as a wake-up call for the envoys of other princes.

Now Yuan Shao and Lu Bu are allies, and this is still the case when dealing with the envoys of the allies. If the envoys of other princes make mistakes and fall into the hands of Lu Bu, what will happen to them? Such a thing, the princes have to consider.

Lu Bu's wedding is coming soon, Pengcheng is more lively, and the soldiers patrolling in the city make the noisy atmosphere a lot more solemn. Especially at this time, Pengcheng's patrols must be stricter. At that time, Pengcheng fell into silence, and no one dared to come out and walk around on the street except the patrolling soldiers.

At present, curfews are enforced in cities everywhere, and travel is prohibited after night, otherwise it will be regarded as secret work.

However, the prosperity of Pengcheng left a deep impression on the envoys of the princes.

Who would have thought that Lu Bu, a warrior, would be able to achieve such an achievement after occupying Xuzhou. From the performance of the Xuzhou army against the princes before, it can be seen how difficult it is to gain benefits from Lu Bu.

Time and time again, the princes thought that it was impossible for Lu Bu to get out of the ordeal. However, Lu Bu led the Xuzhou army to create miracles. The current combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army cannot be ignored by the princes. If not, you will definitely suffer a big loss.

What happened to Yuan Shu is a good proof. During the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu was in charge of food and grass for the armies of the vassals, and he had a prominent position among the vassals. When fighting against Lu Bu, he has too many advantages.

Wu Fu Lu Bu, with his powerful martial arts, let the princes see the rise of a powerful prince.

Not only in terms of leading troops in combat, but also from the development of Xuzhou, it can be seen that the current existence of Xuzhou has an influence that cannot be underestimated among the princes. Too much impact.

In troubled times, strength is the most important. If you don't have enough strength, even if you have a great reputation, it will often not play a big role.

Chapter 426 The wedding is imminent

How bad is Lu Bu's reputation? As the master of Ding Yuan's account and Ding Yuan's adopted son, he killed Ding Yuan for his own benefit and turned to Dong Zhuo.

But now, Lu Bu is using powerful means to occupy Xuzhou for his own use. Not only that, even some counties and counties in Yanzhou and Yuzhou have also fallen under the control of Lu Bu. What the princes can see is a powerful The princes are gradually rising.

After the city that Lu Bu will occupy is completely stable, the only one who can confront Lu Bu is Yuan Shao who occupies Jizhou.

Yuan Shu's failure surprised the princes the most. As a powerful prince in the world today, Yuan Shu's advantages are beyond the reach of other princes. The identity of the fourth generation and three princes of the Yuan family gave Yuan Shu the advantage in the early stage. It is difficult to compare with other princes.

However, Lu Bu broke Yuan Shu's idea of ​​occupying Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu suffered a lot on the battlefield between Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

At the moment of Lv Bu's wedding, the princes sent envoys to congratulate him is a good proof. If Lv Bu did not have enough strength in his hands, it would be even more difficult for the princes to do this.

Even so, the princes still have contempt for Lu Bu in their hearts. Anyway, Lu Bu is a martial artist without a prominent family background to rely on. Once such a character suffers failure, it will be a situation where everyone pushes the wall down.

The rapid development of Xuzhou is astonishing. From Lu Bu, the princes will inevitably think of Xiang Yu, the overlord who made his capital in Xuzhou in the past. When it comes to martial arts, Lu Bu and Xiang Yu are just as brave as men, and they also developed in Pengcheng. .

And Lu Bu is also superior in the means of leading troops in battle. It is conceivable that when such a prince rises strongly, what kind of impact will it have on the situation of the entire world.

However, it is reasonable for some princes to despise Lu Bu. After all, Lu Bu was born as a military general. Even if Lu Bu has made outstanding achievements at present, Lu Bu's background determines that Lu Bu wants to get the support of more people. It is very difficult, after all, it is the aristocratic family that is in charge now.

The aristocratic family controls too many resources in the whole world. There are many talents in the family they belong to. Without the talents of the aristocratic family as support, even if a prince has powerful means, it is difficult to succeed.

Unlike Xiang Yu in the past, Lu Bu did not come from a famous family. In this era that pays attention to family background, it is extremely difficult to rise up.

Judging from Lu Bu's previous performance, if the princes want to invade Xuzhou, the first thing they need to take into account is what kind of fierce reaction Lu Bu will have.

Yuan Shu wanted to obtain benefits from Lu Bu, but ended in failure, and even had to make compensation after the defeat in the war. All this has already shown that Lu Bu's methods cannot be figured out with ordinary reasoning .

In the state pastoral mansion, Lu Bu glanced at the civil servants and military generals in the hall and said slowly: "The Marquis's wedding is imminent, and there are Lao Wenhe and others in the preparations, but the stability of the city is also the top priority. There are no arrogant and domineering people, if they break the rules of Pengcheng in Pengcheng, they will definitely not be lightly forgiven."

Everyone claimed that they were aware of what happened in Pengcheng before. Even Yuan Shao's envoys were not spared after committing crimes in Xuzhou. After other princes learned about this incident, they would definitely restrain themselves.

"Zi Zhong can start too." Lu Bu said, turning his eyes to Mi Zhu.

Marrying Xiu'er is a big deal in Lv Bu's view, and it is reasonable for the prefectural pastor's mansion to take corresponding measures in order to organize this wedding. At present, the most attractive thing in Xuzhou is the fairy jade. Xianyu allowed the State Shepherd's Mansion to get a lot of money, and even fought for the army, relieving even greater pressure.

The value of fairy jade can be imagined, and the princes sent envoys to Xuzhou to get the idea of ​​making fairy jade. The key is that they want to find out the secrets in the Xuzhou craftsman workshop. difficulty.

At present, there is no shortage of aristocratic families in Xuzhou, but in the craftsman's workshop, Lu Bu appoints people who are ordinary people and people of low birth. move.

Besides, Lu Bu's previous actions in Xuzhou have already explained very well. If you want to obtain more secrets in Xuzhou, you must have corresponding sacrifices. There will be extremely severe punishment.

The influence of the aristocratic family is indeed great, but when the aristocratic family has a handle and falls into Lu Bu's hands, it will be Lu Bu's crazy revenge to meet these aristocratic families, and such revenge is even unbearable for the aristocratic family.

Only by obeying the monarch's order and giving the monarch more support can the aristocratic families in Xuzhou achieve greater development. Many aristocratic families have already seen the situation better from the previous changes.

And in order to make the whole wedding more lively, the price of immortal jade in Xuzhou will be sold at [-]% of the usual price within ten days before and after the wedding. This alone is enough to drive more businessmen crazy.

There are not a few merchants controlled by aristocratic families, but the number of ordinary merchants cannot be underestimated. When more small merchants gather, the role they can play cannot be underestimated.

"We can't relax about the chamber of commerce," Lu Bu said.

Mi Zhu clapped his hands and said yes, don't drive in Xuzhou, but he is in charge of doing business. If this matter is spread, it will definitely make people laugh. However, after Lu Bu's explanation, what Mi Zhu saw was not so simple .

So what can merchants do? Xuzhou has such a rapid development momentum at present, more because of the contribution of merchants. When more merchants gather, the role they can display is beyond imagination.

What merchants can bring to Xuzhou is prosperity and a large amount of supplies. There is no doubt that Lu Bu attaches great importance to merchants, and what Lu Bu's actions can get is the support of more merchants. Such support will be of great help to Xuzhou's future development. have an important role in promoting.

The army's greater achievements on the battlefield have a lot to do with the support from the rear. Without the support from the rear, no matter how elite an army is, it is obviously impossible to achieve outstanding achievements.

Chapter 427

In this regard, the actions of the Xuzhou Army are awe-inspiring.

Xuzhou, the land of the Four World Wars, has achieved such achievements after being in the hands of Lu Bu. This shows that Lu Bu's means, wanting to get more benefits from Lu Bu's hands, what it means to the princes. The young princes can understand it.

And when the princes send envoys to Xuzhou, it is inevitable that they will work hard for the matter of refining weapons.

This is also inevitable. The princes fight for their own interests. When the princes do not have enough strength in their hands, it is obviously impossible to obtain more benefits when they compete with other princes.

The court is not clear, and it is inevitable for the princes to support their troops. If the princes want to do more at this time, it is not enough just to have the support of the big family behind them. They also need the princes to have strong means. There are greater achievements in troubled times, and only if this is the case can there be greater achievements.
