The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"My lord, even if I haven't seen Xi Zhicai himself, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to make such a promise." Mi Zhu said.

Lu Bu said: "Feng Xiao is a resourceful man who has won the trust of my lord. To be able to recommend someone like Feng Xiao must have something extraordinary."

"Thanks to the trust of the lord, I am ashamed." Guo Jia cupped his hands.

Mi Zhu, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu are currently Lu Bu's most important courtiers in Xuzhou. Among the other officials, although there are many who can gain Lu Bu's trust, there is still a certain gap in terms of weight compared to the three.

After Lv Bu entered Xuzhou, it was because of the support of the Mi family that he was able to quickly gain a foothold in Xuzhou, and he reciprocated what he gave. The current achievements of the Mi family in Xuzhou are obvious to all.

How many families in Xuzhou have a lot of envy for the Mi family. If the choices made at the critical moment are successful, the benefits they will often get are unimaginable.

The choice of the Mi family in Xuzhou is not a risk. If Lu Bu failed to stabilize Xuzhou smoothly, or there were other changes in Xuzhou, the accumulation of the Mi family for many years might be destroyed.

"When it comes to the number of talents, there are quite a few in Xuzhou. The key is how to make better use of these talents." Lu Bu said: "This Marquis does not have a great reputation among the aristocratic families, but this Marquis has extremely strong strength. , what can be brought to these aristocratic families is protection."

"This Marquis has a sincere heart towards talented people."

Mi Zhu clapped his hands and said yes, he knew that these words were mostly addressed to him, anyway, the Mi family still had a great influence in Xuzhou, when Mi Zhu revealed these words to more families, they could The impact is still great.

And this is what Lu Bu wanted.

"What else?" Lu Bu asked.

The matter discussed by the four people at present must be relatively confidential in Xuzhou and cannot be easily known to others.

Jia Xu said: "My lord, the Yellow Turban from Heishan sent an envoy."

Hearing this, Lu Bu's expression changed. There is no doubt about the great strength of the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans. Even a tyrannical existence like Yuan Shao has nothing to do with the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans. You must know that the existence of the Black Mountain Yellow Turbans has a great impact on Jizhou. Yuan Shao had to consider the influence of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban when he was fighting Gongsun Zan.

And there is also a certain relationship between the Black Mountain Yellow Turban and Gongsun Zan, needless to say, it must be for the purpose of obtaining more benefits.

The army under Gongsun Zan's command is powerful. Although Gongsun Zan suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zan still has a strong force. big.

"From Wenhe's point of view, why did Montenegro send people here?" Lu Bu asked.

Jia Xu said: "According to Yang Feng, the envoy of Heishan, the leader of the Yellow Turban of Heishan is also a general of Zhonglang, who sent people here to congratulate the lord on his wedding. In the eyes of the subordinates, it is not true. The lord defeated Liu Dai and Cao Cao. , Yuan Shu, Sun Ce and others are well-known throughout the princes, and the lord holds many sharp weapons in his hands, if more of these sharp weapons are obtained by Yuan Shao, it will be a nightmare for the Black Mountain Yellow Turban."

"Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao. It is difficult to do more in a short period of time. Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, is very dissatisfied with Gongsun Zan. Maybe he will take the opportunity to make a move. At this time, Yuan Shao will have enough energy to clean up Montenegro. Yellow Turban."

Lu Bu said: "If the Black Mountain Yellow Turban is so easy to deal with, how can it be said that there are many masters and powerful people?"

Jia Xu nodded slightly, agreeing with Lu Bu's statement.

Chapter 431 The Black Mountain Yellow Turban Can Be Utilized

Among the lords of the world, in terms of influence, it goes without saying that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have great influence. Both of them came from famous families. The era has had greater achievements.

The force under Gongsun Zan's command is strong, and he was still defeated by Yuan Shao in the Battle of Jieqiao, which is the best explanation.

It is conceivable that the victory in the Battle of Jieqiao will bring great benefits to Yuan Shao. When Yuan Shao further stabilizes Jizhou, he will definitely take corresponding measures.

Lv Bu's rise among the princes, it is difficult to fundamentally affect Yuan Shao's status, mainly because the two princes are under the rule and do not border each other. The barrier of the Yellow River makes it difficult for the two princes to meet each other in arms.

However, Lu Bu will definitely be accompanied by many problems in the process of development. Not to mention other things, it is difficult for Lu Bu to get more support from literati.

In terms of talents, Yuan Shao doesn't even need to worry more, as more talents will go to Jizhou and be used by Yuan Shao. In this regard, it is impossible to say that Lu Bu is not envious.

The quality of the talents under Yuan Shao's command is not even comparable to that under Yuan Shu's command.

Yuan Shu is the most powerful vassal after the vassal wars, but after successive battles, it has had a great impact on Yuan Shu. Currently, Yuan Shu's relationship with Liu Biao and Lu Bu is not so good. If a war breaks out, for the What kind of impact will it have under Yuan Shu's rule?

The progress of the war will definitely have a great impact on the princes.

After the defeat of the war, it is conceivable that the princes lost a lot of things, but all the princes of one side must have corresponding means. After winning, they will further stabilize the fruits of victory, so that the benefits of victory can be obtained maximize.

Not only that, the officials under the rule of the princes will definitely help the monarch a lot.

The current situation in the imperial court is chaotic, and the influence on the princes has been minimized. This is the best time for the princes to flourish. If they can seize this opportunity, the princes want to do more. easy.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had a lot of advantages when the feudal lords were fighting. As for whether such an advantage could be stabilized for a longer period of time, it would depend on the means of the Yuan family.

Just judging from the current situation, Yuan Shao's rise seems to have become inevitable. Obtaining benefits from Yuan Shao's hands is not as easy as it seems on the surface.

"The Heishan Yellow Turban is powerful. Compared with Yuan Shao, after all, it has many shortcomings. At this time, Zhang Yan sent an envoy to come. As expected, it is for the sharp weapon controlled by the lord." Jia Xu said: "Jizhou is a powerful weapon." It is a land of prosperity, if Zhang Yan can occupy more cities in Jizhou, he will be able to form a rivalry with Yuan Shao."

"From Wenhe's point of view, should this Marquis support the Black Mountain Yellow Turban?" Lu Bu asked.

When Mi Zhu heard this, he was startled. The Black Mountain Yellow Turban was still a Yellow Turban in essence. Even though Zhang Yan was conferred the title of Ping Nan Zhong Lang, he was still the commander of the Yellow Turban.

The Yellow Turban rebellious party, everyone can punish it, this is the order of the imperial court at the beginning, the Han Empire, which has lasted for hundreds of years, still has influence on officials, although the current princes are self-respecting, there are not even more orders from the imperial court Obedience, but they still have a lot of respect for the imperial court on the bright side.

This is also because the development of the princes is inseparable from the support of the righteousness, and it is unimaginable that the princes will benefit as much as they occupy the righteousness.

When large armies are engaged in battle, those who pay attention to divisions are famous, and the same is true when princes occupy places.

Naturally, corresponding excuses are needed to capture the cities of other vassals. Otherwise, they will suffer more infamy. Sometimes, Lu Bu does not care about this issue, which does not mean that other vassals are the same.

Lu Bu didn't really understand the issue of tactics, but Lu Bu knew what kind of power he could get after his own strength became stronger.

In troubled times, once you become a vassal, if you want to retreat completely when the vassals are fighting, the only way is to keep moving forward.

"My lord, this subordinate believes that the Black Mountain Yellow Turban can be used." Jia Xu said.

Guo Jia pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "This subordinate also thinks so."

"Wenhe talk about it."

"Jizhou occupied by Yuan Shao is one of the most affluent states among the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty. After defeating Gongsun Zan, there will be no large-scale war in Jizhou in a short period of time. With the background of Jizhou and Yuan Shao's means, it will definitely be able to Let Jizhou get more development in a short period of time." Jia Xu said: "The Black Mountain Yellow Turbans are known as millions of people, with a strength of more than [-] troops. Although the training of the Yellow Turbans may be inferior to that of the Jizhou Army, Zhang Yan is able to command the Black Mountain Yellow Turban, naturally he has many means."

"If there is a Black Mountain Yellow Turban to restrain Yuan Shao, it will be difficult for Yuan Shao to do more in a short period of time."

"Although the lord is currently forming an alliance with Yuan Shao, it is more because Yuan Shao wants to use the lord to contain Yuan Shu. When Yuan Shao's strength is further developed, he will definitely have other ideas for the lord. We have to guard against it."

"If that's the case, let Yang Feng, the envoy of Montenegro, come to see Benhou tomorrow. Benhou wants to see how sincere the Yellow Turban of Montenegro is." Lu Bu laughed.

When communicating with other princes, Lu Bu is at a disadvantage. After all, Lu Bu's identity determines many things, but when negotiating with bandits like the Yellow Turban of Montenegro, he will have an absolute advantage.

Besides, the Heishan Yellow Turbans are far away from Lv Bu. Even after the Heishan Yellow Turbans get more development, it is Yuan Shao who is hindered, not the Xuzhou Army.

The Black Mountain Yellow Turban is a traitor in the eyes of the princes, but the commander-in-chief of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban is a general who was conferred by the Han Emperor. This alone is enough for the Black Mountain Yellow Turban to gain a foothold in Jizhou.

After the Montenegro Yellow Turban became a secret ally, there is no doubt that it will play a great role in Lu Bu's future development. If the power of the Montenegro Yellow Turban can be better used by Lu Bu, it will be of great help to the future development of the situation.

As for Yuan Shao's dissatisfaction caused by having contacts with the Black Mountain Yellow Turban, would Lu Bu care more?

The alliance with Yuan Shao cannot be said to be absolutely stable, the two sides are still using each other more.

"Here." Jia Xu cupped his hands.

Lu Bu is a prince of one party, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is a vulgar general, but in Jia Xu's view, the real situation is not the case.

Chapter 432 Price Shock

If Lu Bu is really what outsiders see, and he wants to achieve such an achievement in the era of the rise of princes, one can imagine the difficulty. Lu Bu's success just shows that Lu Bu has something extraordinary of.

As for the suggestions of his subordinates, Lu Bu is often able to follow them very well. In this respect alone, Lu Bu is better than more princes.

If you want to achieve greater achievements in the era of many princes, you must have excellence, otherwise, you can only be eliminated by this era.

The rapid development of Xuzhou has attracted the attention of the princes, but behind the development of Xuzhou, how many hardships it has endured, is not known to more people.

Lu Bu's reputation and achievements among the princes were obtained through his own efforts, and it was also closely related to the concerted efforts of his advisers.

And Lu Bu's emphasis on the talents under his command will give Xuzhou more guarantees in the process of development. If Lu Bu is underestimated just because of his status as a military general, he may be driven away by Lu Bu directly like Cao Cao and become a Lost dog.

No matter how capable a vassal is, if there is no territory to support it, it is simply impossible to obtain the loyalty of more counselors.

The era of the rise of the princes has arrived, but all princes with such a certain vision can see the opportunity. How to better grasp such opportunities is very important to the princes, and sometimes it may be a battle. Defeat will completely squander the foundation that the princes have accumulated with great difficulty.

Even after the defeat, he will suffer severe punishment. Tao Qian was originally Xuzhou Mu, and he made a lot of contributions during his tenure as Xuzhou Mu. However, Lu Bu made a surprise attack on Xuzhou and took the land that originally belonged to Tao Qian as his own, causing Tao Qian to lose the original city.

Up to now, Tao Qian has become Lu Bu's prisoner, and it is impossible to do more under Lu Bu's rule.

Lu Bu's rise was too sudden, but Lu Bu's success will definitely arouse the vigilance of more princes. Such a thing is inevitable. As for how far Lu Bu can go on the road of princes, we must look at ourselves hard work.

In fact, Lu Bu was able to achieve such an achievement, which was beyond the expectations of many princes. Who would have thought that Lu Bu, who was born as a general, could have such great achievements in an era when there were many princes.

Before that, Lu Bu was Dong Zhuo's minion and did many heinous things for Dong Zhuo to control the court. However, after leaving Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu became a powerful member of the princes.

The fates of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu were completely different. When Dong Zhuo controlled the court, Dong Zhuo was the most powerful prince in the Han Dynasty. There is no doubt in this respect. At that time, the army controlled by Dong Zhuo was enough to compete with the princes of the Kanto.

However, Dong Zhuo's background determines that it is very difficult to achieve greater achievements under such circumstances and get the approval of more court officials.

Could it be that after Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, he didn't want the Dahan to develop and become a famous minister of the Dahan.

The influence of the aristocratic family is not something that Dong Zhuo can control. Dong Zhuo, who was born as a military general, wants to get more recognition. Behind such actions, it violated the interests of more aristocratic families.

When more officials stood up to oppose Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo's ideal of dominating Luoyang and overlooking the world was close to failure.

Lv Bu's occupation of Xuzhou is very similar to Dong Zhuo's occupation of Luoyang. The difference is that Lv Bu has means that ordinary people can't imagine. Just what is happening in Xuzhou is enough for Lv Bu to avoid more in the process of developing Xuzhou. The problem is that after gathering more aristocratic families around him, the improvement in Lu Bu's strength is extremely obvious.

The progress of the war is a great challenge for the princes. Behind such challenges is the arrival of opportunities. After victory, the strength of the princes can be developed for a long time, and even get more support in the process of development By.

Lu Bu's success is a good illustration.

The prosperity of Pengcheng is comparable to that of any city in the current Han Dynasty. The most important reason is Lu Bu's wedding.

Under Mi Zhu's suggestion, the price of paper will be sold at [-]% of the usual price. This alone will arouse the yearning of more businessmen.

Like fairy jade, paper is something that only the upper class can enjoy. It is not easy for ordinary people to use it, even seeing it is not easy. Earning money from the upper class is the most important thing for businessmen.

It is the aristocratic family that controls more wealth of the great man. This is also an important reason why the princes try to get more support from the aristocratic family. After having the support of the aristocratic family, what they can obtain is more benefits and an increase in strength. will also make it obvious.

The current prosperity of Xuzhou has a lot to do with Lu Bu's strategy. Even weak businessmen can get corresponding protection after arriving in Xuzhou, which is not available under the rule of other princes.

Weak businessmen have many things to pay attention to in the process of doing business. If these things cannot be properly handled, it may damage their own strength.

The status of merchants, farmers, businessmen, and merchants is actually very low. However, the establishment of the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce has allowed merchants to see more opportunities. In the process of doing business in Xuzhou, their interests can be guaranteed to a certain extent. It is extremely lucky for businessmen.

When the interests of businessmen can be protected accordingly, they will have no more worries in the process of doing business.

Such strategies have won the support of more businessmen.

As for Lu Bu's wedding, the prices of immortal jade and paper were [-]% of the normal price, which was a great shock to the merchants. The most important thing for the envoys from all parties was whether Xuzhou's weapons would be sold at [-]% of the normal price.

If this is the case, the envoys of all parties will definitely make a big move.

But any sensible envoy would not have such a cognition. Hundreds of refining weapons can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the army, so that the soldiers in the army can better display the results of ordinary training in the war .

Lu Bu is a vassal, and he attaches great importance to the lieutenants in the army. Otherwise, the Xuzhou army would not have shown such a strong combat effectiveness in battle after battle.

Chapter 433 Lamenting the Prosperity of Pengcheng

After controlling a large number of Hundred Refined Weapons, the Xuzhou Army will crush other princes in terms of strength, and such crushing will be extremely fatal on the battlefield. If the Xuzhou Army's strength in this aspect is ignored advantage, the victory of the war will be more difficult.

The feudal lords want to get more Hundred Refined Weapons, how could Lv Bu not pay more attention to this aspect, when Lu Bu sells Hundred Refined Weapons, you can see more things.

Lu Bu not only sold the hundred-refined weapon to Yuan Shao, but also sold the hundred-refined weapon to Gongsun Zan. In this way, the strengths of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan can reach a certain balance.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Shao has a lot of resentment towards Lu Bu. It is precisely because of Lu Bu's various actions that Yuan Shao paid more when he led the army to defeat Gongsun Zan.

However, the initiative in this matter is in the hands of Lu Bu. If Yuan Shao turned against Lu Bu at this time, wouldn't Lu Bu be afraid?

Lu Bu's martial arts are strong and his character is tough. When Xuzhou took over, the situation in Xuzhou was so urgent, but Lu Bu abruptly led the lieutenant soldiers to kill a bloody road, allowing him to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou.

And if you want to get more benefits from Lu Bu, the first thing you need to consider is the powerful Xuzhou army.

Facts have proved that Lu Bu will not bow his head easily when faced with difficulties.

The envoys from all parties who came to Xuzhou were relatively low-key in the city. What happened to the envoys in Jizhou before was a good warning for the envoys of the princes. In the past, Yuan Shao was the leader of the princes and had a great influence among the princes. Power, even now.

The court didn't know, if Yuan Shao's approval could be obtained, it would be fine, and it is conceivable how many benefits Yuan Shao could get through such means.

If Gongsun Zan hadn't been a hindrance, Yuan Shao's strength would have been improved to a greater extent. Let alone the land of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao yearned for it. Once he occupied the land of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao's strength would be able to reach the Yellow River. South developed.

Yuan Yi, the prefect of Shanyang, was a member of Yuan Shao's clan and had a lot of support for Yuan Shao. However, when the Xuzhou army attacked Yanzhou, Liu Dai failed, and some of Yuan Shao's plans fell through.

Nowadays, maintaining a better relationship with Lu Bu has many benefits for Yuan Shao, and if the relationship between the two parties is maintained for a long time, Yuan Shao will benefit more from it.

In fact, today's princes are also able to forge hundreds of refined weapons, but their level of forging hundreds of refined weapons is far behind that of the Xuzhou craftsman workshop. It is only that the Xuzhou craftsman workshop can achieve mass production in the production process. It is not comparable to other princes.
