The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

From Lu Bu's attitude, Jian Yong can feel that Lu Bu's attitude towards the release of Zhang Fei is extremely tough. Zhang Fei is Liu Bei's fierce general and Liu Bei's sworn brother who captured Lu Bu alive. For Liu Bei, it is not a small constraint.

The exchange of materials for Zhang Fei is not a small pressure for Liu Bei at present. The situation in Qingzhou is known to the princes. With the current income of Qingzhou Plain, if they want to pay so much materials, it will have a great impact on Liu Bei's development. what kind of impact.

After all, stationing in the plains is not a long-term thing. As long as the Xuzhou army is dispatched, Liu Bei will be in danger, but anyone with a certain vision can see the situation.

However, Liu Bei has no more choices at present. If he lives in the plains, if he can do more, it will be of great help to Liu Bei's future development.

Lu Bu, a traitor in the eyes of the princes, can do such a thing when the princes are fighting for hegemony, but Liu Bei, a family member of the Han family, has to stay in the plain aggrieved.

However, Lu Bu's current achievements have a lot to do with Lu Bu's dedication. Apart from other things, just the strong strength displayed by the Xuzhou Army is enough to make more princes look sideways.

It is not easy to repair the relationship with Lu Bu. After the previous incident, Lu Bu must have a lot of wariness and resentment towards Liu Bei.

Before Lu Bu had no chance, if Lu Bu saw the opportunity coming, how could it make Liu Bei feel better.

After going to Xuzhou, what Jian Yong felt was the prosperity of Xuzhou. Xuzhou, the place of the Fourth World War, was in the hands of Lu Bu, but it bloomed with a different brilliance.

Xuzhou at this time, not to mention that it is impenetrable, it is not easy for the princes to invade Pengcheng.

When Lu Bu's strength became stronger and stronger, it was far from being comparable to other princes, and it might be time for Liu Bei to lose the plain.

The grievances between the princes will not break out for the time being. That is because the princes have not prepared for the next war. After the princes have eased from the war, they will inevitably take corresponding actions. Under such circumstances, if you want to To be stable, one must have strong strength.

Jian Yong still admires Liu Bei's ability. How much effort Liu Bei has put in for the declining clan of the Han Dynasty to gradually reach their current position in the troubled times.

The Xuzhou cavalry, who are proficient in bows and horses and come and go like the wind, left a deep impression on the hearts of the envoys of the princes. In future wars, if they encounter Xuzhou cavalry, they must have countermeasures in advance. If so, the most likely scenario is that there will be heavy casualties.

When fighting against cavalry, infantry has obvious disadvantages. When cavalry charges on the battlefield, their power is beyond the reach of ordinary infantry troops.

Even heavy armored soldiers need to be cautious after encountering cavalry. The collision of horses is not something ordinary soldiers can resist, and if they cannot respond reasonably under the collision, the most likely situation will be death on the battlefield up.

The progress of the war is a huge test for the soldiers in the army. If they can't get out of such a test, they can only bear the price of death.

Seeing the reaction of the envoys of the princes, Lu Bu was quite satisfied. Outsiders only saw the strength of the Xuzhou army, but did not see how much effort Lu Bu had put in to improve the strength of the soldiers in the army. The reform of the military system is beyond the reach of ordinary princes.

It is normal for the princes to control a large number of troops. If there is no powerful army in the hands of the princes, how can the rule be more stable? The key is that after the princes continue to invest money and materials in the army, What kind of role can it play?

The continuous investment of materials is naturally to make the lieutenant soldiers more elite, and if the lieutenant soldiers do not perform well on the battlefield, it will make the efforts of the princes unworthy.

The envoys of the princes were aware of the changes in Xuzhou's military system, and this was also an important reason why the envoys of the princes shocked Lu Bu's strength.

The reform of the military system must be a big deal when the big Han is strong, but now it depends on the strength of the princes. Without strong strength as a basis, changing the military system will become a big problem. joke.

The changes that Lv Bu brought to the Xuzhou Army required a lot of money to rely on. Just the weapons and armor needed by the lieutenant soldiers to fight on the battlefield is beyond the imagination of ordinary princes. If so, you will be rewarded accordingly.

These changes require a large amount of material money as a support.

Under Lu Bu's governance, Xuzhou showed a different style. Through business means, Lu Bu collected a large amount of material and money in a short period of time.

The means of doing business made the princes realize the importance of merchants. As for them, there are many difficulties in trying to compete with Lu Bu in business under such circumstances.

It is mainly the things produced in Xuzhou, which are exactly what the merchants need. Even if the princes secretly support the merchants and purchase the corresponding supplies from Xuzhou, they can obtain certain benefits after returning. In terms of interests, it is impossible to fight against Lu Bu. possible things.

After Xuzhou's background has gradually become stronger, it is not comparable to other princes. If the situation continues like this, there will be no more benefits for the development of other princes.

It is impossible to imitate Lu Bu's success.

The Xuzhou craftsman's workshop is a place that the princes want to investigate clearly. In fact, after the arrival of the envoys from all parties, there are many investigations on the Xuzhou craftsman's workshop. However, the control around the craftsman's workshop is so strict.

Chapter 448 The Messenger Visits the Xuzhou Army

Jian Yong understands that it is impossible to obtain more benefits from Lu Bu, and Lu Bu's next actions are likely to be directed at Liu Bei. At this time, Liu Bei needs to have enough responses.

Not only Jian Yong, but also the envoys of other princes also felt what is called elite power in the Xuzhou army. It is conceivable what consequences they would have if they confronted such an elite force on the battlefield.

If the other princes thought that Lu Bu's defeat of Yuan Shu was a fluke, now their thoughts have been quietly hidden.

Lu Bu used his victories in battles to prove to the princes the strength of the Xuzhou army. If he wanted to obtain the corresponding benefits from him, the price he needed to pay was often beyond the reach of the princes.

It is most appropriate to better maintain the relationship with Lu Bu and obtain excellent weapons from Lu Bu.

There are not a few princes who have such thoughts. Hundred-refined weapons represent strength. After getting more hundred-refined weapons, it will be of great help to the strength of the princes' troops. Just imagine the strength of one side on the battlefield What kind of impact will it have if it far surpasses the other party.

Although the progress of the war will not change more because of the excellent equipment of the lieutenants and soldiers, the psychological advantages of the lieutenants and soldiers will prompt them to burst into stronger strength in the war.

Cavalry is what attracts the attention of princes and envoys the most.

Guo Jia introduced: "Xuzhou cavalry, a total of 3000 people, Wenhou named Xiaoqiying, it is the most elite cavalry force under Wenhou's tent."

"What merits Xiaoqi Battalion has on the battlefield, I don't need to explain more."

After leaving the cavalry training camp, the envoys of the princes chatted in low voices. Obviously, the Xiao cavalry camp just now gave them too much impact.

The army of the big Han is powerful, but in terms of cavalry combat effectiveness, there is still a lot of gap compared with other races. Just like the Xianbei who are currently raging on the grassland, their cavalry strength is far superior to that of the big Han. Due to the situation, it is extremely difficult to have powerful means to resist the Xianbei invasion.

It is also what the princes want to see that the big Han can have powerful cavalry. After all, the foreign race will bring many disasters to the Han people, and defeating the foreign race will give the princes a lot of sense of accomplishment.

The situation in Bianjun cannot currently affect the vicissitudes of the mainland of Dahan.

At present, the cavalry that attracted the attention of the princes most were the Xiaoqi Battalion under Lu Bu's command and the White Horse Yi Cong under Gongsun Zan's command.

In the battle of Jieqiao, Baima Yi suffered a heavy defeat and suffered heavy losses, which made Ju Yi's slain warriors shine brightly on the battlefield.

The Flying Bear Army under Dong Zhuo's command was also extremely tyrannical on the battlefield, but with Dong Zhuo's death, the generals under his command fell apart, and the reputation of the Flying Bear Army was no longer what it used to be. Xiaoqi camp.

In the course of future battles, the princes will definitely improve their own strength as much as possible. If this is the case, when fighting with other princes, they will have more possibilities to win.

Cavalry, as the most important force on the battlefield, if it can be used, it will play an unimaginable role.

After seeing the fierceness of the cavalry under Lu Bu's command, how can the princes have no other preparations, they will definitely form a large number of cavalry.

Although the cavalry consumes a lot, in order to gain an advantage when competing with other princes, even if you pay a certain price, it is worth it in the princes' eyes.

If the victory of the war cannot be guaranteed, fighting with other princes will lose the current interests, and even become a bereaved dog.

The reform of the state herd system has given the state herds more power. Under such circumstances, there is no shortage of state herds who support their own soldiers and self-respect. Especially when the situation of the court is unclear, it is also a problem for them to support their own self-respect and not obey orders. It is the default of the princes.

As for the current situation of the imperial court, the princes will not have more worries. They are only worried about their own interests. As long as their own interests can be guaranteed to the greatest extent, even if the imperial court does not exist, how much influence can it have? Woolen cloth.

After the princes have such an idea, there are obviously many disadvantages to the stable development of the great man, but this is the real situation of the great man.

If it was put in the time when the Han court was stable, it would be impossible for princes like Lu Bu to gain a foothold. Just an order from the court could make Lu Bu pay a huge price for it.

Now, the changes in the situation have made Lu Bu an upstart among the princes.

Making friends with Lu Bu will be of great help to the king behind them.

For Lv Bu, in fact, the princes also have a lot of awe. If the same situation is placed on them, they may not be better than Lv Bu in the process of handling. The situation in Xuzhou at that time was not so optimistic. Next, Lu Bu stood out from the princes.

The change of the military system will be the beginning of a strong Xuzhou army. Lu Bu has sufficient confidence in this. As for the princes knowing the system in the Xuzhou army, Lu Bu is not worried at all. If the princes also have such courage , It will definitely make the strength of the army under his command stronger.

It is conceivable that Lu Bu has worked so hard to enable the Xuzhou Army to achieve what it is today.

When it comes to financial resources, Lv Bu asked himself that he was no less than any prince. It was precisely because of some strong financial resources that Lv Bu was able to make successive big moves in Xuzhou.

The aristocratic families secretly have dissatisfaction with Lu Bu, how can Lu Bu not know, it's just that Lu Bu didn't pay more attention to such things, and when his strength reaches a certain level, these so-called aristocratic families will definitely With wise choices.

The strength of the Xuzhou army is strong, and after the number of cities under its rule increases, the aristocratic families can also get corresponding benefits. In the face of such benefits, why would they stand on the independent side of Lu Bu?

Lu Bu's success was obtained through his hard work in the war. The price to be paid if he wanted to destroy everything in Lu Bu's hands was not something that the aristocratic family could afford. Trying to maintain a friendly relationship with Lu Bu was also important for the aristocratic family. meaning of.

It has also become the consensus of Xuzhou's aristocratic and powerful families not to provoke Lu Bu more.

Lu Bu's various actions after he took over Xuzhou well explained Lu Bu's ambitions.

Chapter 449

However, Lu Bu's bad reputation has brought about the growth of the Xuzhou family. In this way, it is inevitable that there will be a family standing on Lu Bu's side, helping Lu Bu to stabilize the rule as soon as possible, so that the rule can get more development.

This is also the benefit of being powerful. Otherwise, no matter how capable Lu Bu is, it would be impossible for him to do more after occupying Xuzhou.

The relationship between the family and the princes is more of mutual use. The family wants to get the opportunity to grow through the princes, and the princes need the talents of the family to govern the place. The two sides can be said to be mutually beneficial.

If there is a war between the princes, it depends on their own methods.

In the face of war, any situation is possible. Without a reasonable response, the most likely situation is defeat.

In the big account of the Chinese army, Lu Bu recommended the generals in the army for the envoys of the princes, which gave the envoys of the princes a certain understanding of the generals in the Xuzhou army.

Although the current military system of the princes is still in accordance with the system of the Han Dynasty, when the princes assign the generals under their command, they cannot follow the rules of the Han Dynasty. The rewards of the generals need to be ordered by the emperor. The situation of the court is unknown, and the princes themselves Awarding a reward has become inevitable.

This also led to the fact that there are many generals under the command of the princes. Such generals have a famous name, but they have not been recognized by the court.

In fact, if the princes go to the imperial court, they will definitely get their consent. After all, the imperial court is in a weak position at this time, occupying the righteous court. It is obviously impossible to order the princes. The princes can completely control the court. He rejected the court's order on the grounds that he was in the hands of the rebels.

But in the Xuzhou Army, the school lieutenant still occupies an important weight.

There has been no major change in the positions of generals, and the generals in the army don't care much about these. They believe that following Lu Bu will definitely get the rewards they want, and besides, they have enough power in their hands. That's enough for generals.

"I don't know what kind of impression you have on the soldiers under my tent?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Ju Shou came out and said: "The soldiers under Marquis Wen's tent are brave and good at fighting, and they are elites."

"The envoy of Jizhou agrees so much, I am very happy." Lu Bu laughed.

Lu Bu and Yuan Shao are in an alliance relationship, and it is no secret among the princes. This situation also makes the princes dissatisfied with Yuan Shao. You must know that Lu Bu was rebellious by the court before, but after Lu Bu's strength improved, it was Suddenly, he became a courtier of the big man.

In the final analysis, it was because Lu Bu was of sufficient value that the feudal lords could not maintain their composure in the face of the powerful Lu Bu.

After Yuan Shao and Lu Bu formed an alliance, it was of great help to Yuan Shao's development.

Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were at odds, and Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu were involved. At the beginning, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu were also in an alliance. Once Yuan Shu, Lu Bu, and Gongsun Zan attacked Yuan Shao's rule together, what kind of impact would it have on Yuan Shao.

Fortunately for Yuan Shao, the alliance between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu had completely disintegrated after the outbreak of war between the two sides. Even if the alliance between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu was re-established, the establishment of such an alliance must not be compared to the past.

Once a rift arises, it is not easy to make up for it.

Besides, it would be the most surprising thing if Yuan Shu had no idea about Lu Bu.

Yuan Shu suffered a great loss in the hands of Lu Bu. He lost the city of Yanzhou, and even lost a lot of counties and counties in Yuzhou. It was a great shame for Yuan Shu.

How to recover the losses, the most direct way is to win the battle against Lu Bu. In this way, the previous losses can be made up for.

Yuan Shu has the intention to attack Lu Bu, which is the best news for Yuan Shao. If the two sides cannot form an alliance, he will be more stable in Jizhou. Through the previous battle, although Gongsun Zan still poses a threat to the development of Jizhou, the threat has already Not too big.

After maintaining close contact with Lu Bu, Yuan Shao can concentrate on dealing with Gongsun Zan. As for the fact that Lu Bu sold the weapon to Gongsun Zan, it is in his own interest, and Yuan Shao will not mind more.

After Gongsun Zan's most elite cavalry suffered the price of failure on the battlefield, it would be very difficult to defeat the Jizhou army in future confrontations.

Speaking of which, Lu Bu still had a lot of help to Yuan Shao's development, and it was precisely because of Lu Bu's restraint that Yuan Shao was able to fight Gongsun Zan with peace of mind.

Yuan Shu's emissary, Yang Hong, couldn't see clearly what was going on, but at that time Yuan Shu thought that Lu Bu was too threatening, and after defeating Yuan Shao's supporters Liu Dai and Cao Cao, he turned to attack Lu Bu.

According to the situation at the time, if Yuan Shu could defeat Lu Bu, it would be of great help to Yuan Shu's strength improvement, but the reality is so cruel. Yuan Shu, who has the advantage in military strength, not only failed to win, Instead, they lost a lot on the battlefield.

Up to now, even if Yuan Shu has remorse in his heart, there is nothing he can do.

When Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, it was because of Yuan Shu's support in righteousness. However, now that Lu Bu's wings are full, he can achieve certain achievements among the princes without relying on Yuan Shu's support.

Lv Bu's success is actually quite a wake-up call for more princes. Under the circumstances at the time, no one would have thought that Lv Bu, a warrior, would have such an achievement after occupying Xuzhou.

Yuan Shu, who originally united with Lv Bu, had an absolute advantage against Yuan Shao, but this advantage was lost because of Yuan Shu's wrong decision. Now, Lv Bu has become a rising power among the princes. a new star.

Naturally, Lu Bu would not try to figure out the different thoughts of the envoys of the princes. What he needed was absolute strength, so that the princes would have more fear when they wanted to invade the city under his rule.

If the current achievements can make Lu Bu feel satisfied, it is simply impossible. In troubled times, if you do not advance, you will retreat. Both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are extremely strong opponents. Yuan Shu suffered in Lu Bu's hands before. The price of failure was because Yuan Shu didn't know enough about Lu Bu.

When Yuan Shu became serious, it was also extremely terrifying.

Chapter 450 Zhang Fei Has Shaken

After the envoys from various parties came, although Lu Bu's attitude was relatively tough, when the officials under his rule negotiated with the envoys of the princes, they appeared more kind.

This is also because of Jia Xu's suggestion that when the strength displayed by the Xuzhou army is too strong, it may cause the fear of the princes of all parties. If this is the case, it is only relying on Lu Bu's strength to fight against more princes. , is simply impossible.

In this case, the most likely situation is that Lu Bu's efforts for many years are broken by other princes.

As Lu Bu's counselor, Jia Xu naturally would not allow such a situation to happen. Let Lu Bu gain a firm foothold among the princes, which is also the direction Jia Xu must work hard for.

Maintaining a good relationship with the princes as much as possible will prevent them from cooperating to restrain Lu Bu's development.
