The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"Okay, the two of you have such a recommendation, how can I refuse it." Lu Bu smiled and said, "If you don't know, I would think that the two of you would benefit from accepting Zhang Zhao."

"Liao Jian is too old to be in charge of governance, let Zhang Zhao be in charge of governance," Lu Bu said.

"Here." The two bowed their hands together.

Zhizhong and Biejia are the main assistants of the state shepherd. They have a prominent position in a state, and often only those who are trusted by the state shepherd can take up the position.

Especially when the feudal lords are constantly fighting for their own interests, the status of the Biejia of a state is even more prominent when he is engaged in the governance and governance. In the absence of the state shepherd, the two can be directly responsible for government affairs.

Previously, Zhang Zhao worked in the prefecture and state, and was in charge of document exchanges. Although they were both engaged in the same business, there were many differences between the two.

Starting from working in the county and directly promoted to working in the government, Zhang Zhao can be said to have reached the core of Xuzhou's power.

"Let Zhang Zhao come to see Ben Hou tomorrow." Lu Bu said.

Recently, from Lu Bu's point of view, he is quite busy, especially when it involves Fengyue Tower and needs to be dealt with.

Judging from the news from Jia Xu and Mi Zhu, there is nothing unusual about Fengyuelou. Although they were arrogant in the chamber of commerce before, it may be that Fengyuelou people really have something to rely on.

But the more Fengyuelou performed like this, the more suspicious Lu Bu was. If Fengyuelou had no support, how could he dare to be so arrogant in front of Xuzhou Biejia.

Because Mi Zhu is in charge of the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce, his status in Xuzhou has not been greatly affected, but it can better reflect the importance of the Mi family.

Having Mi Zhu present when Lv Bu was discussing important matters is enough to explain a lot of problems, and this kind of trust from the monarch also made Mi Zhu feel a lot of satisfaction. For the development of Xuzhou, the Mi family has made a lot of contributions. Higher status is also within reason.

If other families can have a lot of support for Lu Bu like the Mi family, Lu Bu's influence among the princes will be even greater.

Facts have proved that the aristocratic families are not that noble. They care more about the fate of their own families. They obey Lu Bu because the situation at that time left more families with no choice.

Even so, there are still many families who choose to leave Xuzhou to be ruled by other princes. This is because they cannot see the hope of revival of the family under Lu Bu's rule.

Lu Bu's reputation among the princes is not very good, which also determines that it is extremely difficult to recruit more talents. The current influence of the princes is far from enough.

Even if the aristocratic families in Xuzhou stood opposite Lu Bu, it would be extremely difficult to influence Lu Bu more.

The rise of the princes is accompanied by the support of many families, and in this process, the efforts made by the princes for the development of the rule are also crucial, and will even become an important measure of whether the family supports the monarch.

In fact, the strength shown by Lu Bu is enough for more families to make choices, and it is more because of Lu Bu's bad reputation among the princes, which has a certain impact on their choices.

Making choices faster will help their families more. The support from the monarch cannot be achieved by the aristocratic family's own efforts.

The strategy Lv Bu adopted in Xuzhou is of great help to the development of his rule. Under such circumstances, even ordinary princes are cautious enough when facing Lv Bu, unless they want to fight against Lv Bu. suffer more damage.

Yuan Shu's battle against Xuzhou before is a good illustration. When Lu Bu exploded with powerful strength, even a prince like Yuan Shu could hardly stop him. One can imagine what consequences would be had if it were replaced by other princes.

From this point of view, it was no accident that Lu Bu defeated Liu Dai, Kong Rong, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao before.

Such a Lu Bu, after displaying too terrible strength, will have a great influence on the princes. If the princes want to take advantage of Lu Bu, they must surpass Lu Bu in strength.

"Continue to pay attention to the situation of Fengyue Tower." Lu Bu said.

The two said yes.

What happened in the prefecture's mansion today is a big shock to the officials in Xuzhou. The establishment of an escort agency is second. The key is that Lu Bu wants to set up an organization to supervise officials in Xuzhou. What kind of shock will it cause in the officialdom.

If the officials selected by Lu Bu, they must have enough loyalty to Lu Bu. If the supervising officials discover the bad behavior of some officials, what will they do? With Lu Bu's character, will they easily let these officials go? .

Officials from aristocratic families have something to be proud of. Even ordinary local officials are something that the people can only look up to. It can even be said that the people will never reach their position. People have a condescending and arrogant attitude when facing the common people.

More often than not, the common people are nothing more than a tool for profit in their eyes. How many common people's fields have been embezzled by aristocratic families, but have the aristocratic families ever taken care of the lives of the common people.

These are not important to the aristocratic family, what they want is to strengthen the family's strength, so that the family can be well continued in this chaotic world.

When someone infringes on the interests of the family, they will stand up and resist tenaciously. It is precisely because of this that the people of the noble family can maintain a higher status and have the power to look down on all living beings.

However, Lu Bu's way of doing things is very different from that of ordinary princes, and his relationship with aristocratic and wealthy families is not good. Normally, Lu Bu should try his best to improve the relationship between each other. be well reflected.

Lu Bu was not more polite when dealing with aristocratic families.

It is precisely because of this that some aristocratic families have deep concerns about Lu Bu, and they don't want to follow Lu Bu.

However, the current situation well shows that if they don't follow Lu Bu, the strength of the family will be compromised. This kind of situation is not what the wealthy family wants to see.

Only after supporting Lu Bu can he get the corresponding benefits. In Xuzhou official circles, he already has a clear understanding.

Chapter 520

In fact, many families have also made wise choices. Their choice to follow the Mi family is a good illustration. There is no doubt that Mi Zhu's support for Lu Bu is strong. It is difficult for other families to compare with the Mi family. .

Relatively speaking, the development of the Mi family in Xuzhou will be smoother. With the support of the monarch, some things will be easier.

Among the aristocratic families, there are also weak and weak ones. These families are weakened by other families for their own strength, or even embezzled, and they will attach themselves to more powerful families.

In this way, their families can get corresponding protection.

Mi Zhu would not refuse any of these dependent families. These families were an important foundation for Lu Bu to rule Xuzhou smoothly. If Lu Bu stood on the opposite side of more families, it would be extremely detrimental to Lu Bu.

Mi Zhu has a certain understanding of Lu Bu's character. If some actions of the aristocratic family offend Lu Bu, it is difficult to escape the possibility. It is this kind of character that makes it difficult for Lu Bu to have more cooperation with the aristocratic family.

In fact, as he got to know more about Lu Bu, Mi Zhu could feel that Lu Bu actually had a certain rejection of the aristocratic family. Such rejection did not benefit the cooperation between the two parties at all.

When Lu Bu treated the aristocratic family, he did not have a kind attitude. This situation will inevitably have a certain impact on the development of Xuzhou.

Mi Zhu, who has been in Xuzhou all year round, is naturally aware of the energy of some families in Xuzhou. These families are even related to families in other states and counties. Even if they cannot survive in Xuzhou, they can go to other princes to rule.

The relationship between the aristocratic and wealthy families is intricate, and it is not an easy task to figure out their relationship.

And Lu Bu's behavior this time made the officials in Xuzhou secretly raise their vigilance. This prince, who is regarded as a tyrannical warrior in the eyes of the princes, is actually not as simple as they imagined. If he can't be more cautious in some matters, The ensuing consequences will be more serious.

When Lu Bu first occupied Xuzhou, not only the princes were not optimistic about Lu Bu, but also the aristocratic families in Xuzhou. Although some families expressed their loyalty at that time, such loyalty is worth considering.

Even some of these families, after Tao Qian returned to Xuzhou, made a move to collude with Tao Qian to drive Lu Bu out of Xuzhou.

After successive setbacks were overcome by Lu Bu, in the eyes of Xuzhou officials, Lu Bu has changed a lot. What they feel from Lu Bu is not only absolute confidence, but also this powerful means.

The current development of Xuzhou is actually a good illustration. Just relying on business, Lv Bu has a higher status among the princes.

Of course, such a status will still be accompanied by a lot of scolding.

However, does Lu Bu have more fear of these scoldings? Even though there are many scoldings, what still cannot be changed is Lu Bu's way of doing things. No matter the wind and rain outside, Lu Bu will do things according to his own way. Lu Bu will use tyrannical means to let the opponent understand how difficult it is to take advantage of him.

The victory of the war laid the foundation for Lu Bu, and gradually allowed Lu Bu to gain a firm foothold in Xuzhou.

Up to now, Lu Bu's strength has become so strong that princes like Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have to pay attention to making friends.

Chen Gong, Yanzhou Mu, was recommended by Lu Bu. If Lu Bu did not have enough trust in Chen Gong, how could he appoint Chen Gong like this.

From this matter, we can actually see Lu Bu's mind. At the beginning, Chen Gong had just joined Lu Bu and received such an important task. He didn't even know enough about Chen Gong, but Lu Bu dared to appoint Chen Gong as Yanzhou Shepherd. Handle the affairs of Yanzhou.

Once such a monarch has greater achievements, it will be a nightmare for more princes.

Many princes have realized the horror of Lu Bu, and standing on the opposite side of Lu Bu will make them feel strongly uneasy. It is precisely because of this that there was a grand occasion when the princes sent envoys to Lu Bu's wedding. It's not that these princes want to make such a choice, but that they have no better way.

If there is a war and it is difficult for other princes to respond more, the efforts made over the years may become a thing of the past.

Becoming a vassal is not an easy task for the vassals, how much effort they need to put in for this.

Now, Lu Bu has grown into a powerful member of the princes, and maintaining a good relationship with Lu Bu is not harmful to other princes.

As for Lu Bu's reputation, the growth of which princes is not accompanied by infamy, it's just that Lu Bu has more infamy.

Just like Yuan Shao, the leader of the princes and alliance in the past, can the means of seizing Jizhou be called upright? Relying on threats and uniting with Han Fu's generals, Han Fu was driven from the position of Jizhou Mu.

If it weren't for Yuan Shao's despicable methods, how could Gongsun Zan be so angry with Yuan Shao.

When the princes start a war, they need to think in detail. If they can't get the corresponding benefits after a war is launched, they will be more cautious, because once the war starts, it means continuous investment for the princes. More money and food.

It is not easy for the princes to accumulate strength.

At this time, the princes of the Han Dynasty are also full of dangerous occupations. With the start of the princes' campaign, one by one the princes fell and stepped out of the stage of the hegemony. Could it be said that these princes wanted to die?

Once you embark on the road of fighting for hegemony, it is difficult to stop. Only by making continuous efforts in this process can you reach a higher position.

It is precisely because Lu Bu has seen the things clearly that he is particularly strong when facing the princes in battle. He just wants to tell those princes who have other thoughts that they want to get benefits from him through victories in battles. , You must have enough means, otherwise, you will bear the price of defeat.

Many officials are secretly planning how to get a better position in Xuzhou's current changes. From Zhang Zhao's previous reaction, it can be seen that the Zhang family in Xuzhou supports Lu Bu at this time. attitude.

The attitude of the Zhang family in Xuzhou can represent many families in Xuzhou.

The Zhang family in Xuzhou has a strong reputation, and Zhang Zhao is a contemporary figure in the Zhang family who is active in officialdom.

Chapter 521 Zhang Fei returns to the plain

The position that the county is engaged in does not seem to be that important, but it proves Lu Bu's trust in the Zhang family.

Zhang Zhao's actions in the State Shepherd's Mansion aroused the thinking of many members of the family. They wanted to see why Zhang Zhao made such a choice.

You must know that in order to gain Zhang Zhao's allegiance, Lu Bu used a lot of methods, and these methods were even not so open and aboveboard in the eyes of some families.

However, Lu Bu has succeeded, at least it seems so now, and Zhang Zhao's actions just show how much support he has for Lu Bu's decision.

The Xuzhou officials had a certain understanding of Zhang Zhaozhi's talent. After Lu Bu got Zhang Zhao's help, it was obvious how much his strength would be improved.

After the Zhang family completely surrendered, the chain reaction brought about was difficult for many families to stop.

"The general trend has come." This is the judgment of many families on Lu Bu.

If Lu Bu knew the thoughts of these families, he would definitely feel proud. How difficult it is to make the aristocratic families who consider themselves noble to bow their heads.

However, in Lu Bu's view, as long as more families can be recognized, it will help Xuzhou's future development more and avoid more difficulties in the development process.

Sometimes, the strength of the enemy is not to be feared. The key is internal instability. If the enemy invades Xuzhou, the Xuzhou army can fight tenaciously on the battlefield. However, there are internal problems in Xuzhou. The army has fierce offensive methods, and it is difficult to fully display them in war. Without the support of the rear, no matter how powerful the army is, it is difficult to display it.

Internal stability is exactly what Lu Bu is after.

Because Lu Bu understands that the battle among the princes will not stop in a short time. Even if some princes welcome the Han Emperor back, it will be difficult to change the current situation, because the power in the hands of the princes has prevented them from bringing the Han Dynasty back. More thoughtful plans.

With power in hand, the princes can do more things they like without having to consider the attitude of the court. What could make the princes feel more comfortable than this.

As for some official positions awarded by the imperial court, they are important in the eyes of the princes, but they have not reached a very important level. After having official positions, they can recruit talents for their own use more ostentatiously.

They use the banner of revitalizing the Han Dynasty verbally, but when it comes to concrete actions, what kind of actions will they make?

The attitude of the aristocratic family at this time can actually play a big role, because the aristocratic family has a great influence on the princes, but what kind of reaction does the big Han family have now, more silently Standing behind the princes, supporting the princes, allowing the family to develop and continue in troubled times

Lu Bu is not clear about the secret planning and thinking of Xuzhou officials, but the future direction of Xuzhou's development is particularly important.

The first is the establishment of the Escort Bureau. In the early days, Lu Bu planned to use a thousand soldiers to enter the Escort Bureau. These soldiers need veterans who have experienced wars and recruits. This kind of matching method can be more conducive to the growth of recruits. .

The veterans who came out of the war showed coping ability when encountering emergencies, which cannot be compared with the soldiers who have just entered the army for training.

Veterans are the most critical force in war, and more use of the strength of veterans can play a huge role on the battlefield.

Naturally, Lu Bu had experience in leading the lieutenant soldiers on the battlefield. In fact, the establishment of the Escort Bureau was obviously different from the battles of the lieutenant soldiers.

The first thing that needs to be done is to set up the banner of the Xuzhou Bodyguard Bureau, so that more people can know about the Xuzhou Bodyguard Bureau. It is not enough to rely on the word of mouth of the merchants, and it is enough to hand it over to Chen Lin.

Secondly, there is absolute deterrence. If the Xuzhou Bodyguard Bureau protects merchants from doing business, not only does it fail to provide a good protection, but it causes a lot of losses, or if the caravan is directly robbed, it will affect the reputation of the Xuzhou Bodyguard Bureau. is a big influence.

This kind of situation is not what Lu Bu wants to see. Now that the Xuzhou Bodyguard Bureau has been established, it is necessary for the Xuzhou Bodyguard Bureau to do more, and to have a greater reputation when protecting merchants in business.

This requires Lu Bu to make a move at a critical moment.

Then it depends on what kind of reaction can be caused among the merchants after the establishment of the Escort Bureau. If the merchants are not concerned about the affairs of the Escort Bureau, further efforts are still needed.

The other is the establishment of a regulatory agency. The establishment of such an agency cannot be completed in a short period of time. It takes a lot of time just to select officials.

Just when Zhang Zhao was ordered to go to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Lu Bu also received an urgent letter from Qingzhou.

Zhang Fei returned to the plain.

The reason why Zhang Fei was not beheaded at the beginning, although Zang Ba's persuasion was part of it, had a lot to do with Lu Bu's cherishing of Zhang Fei's talent. Strength improvement is of great help.

Jia Xu's persuasion after she came forward played a great role, but what happened in time was indeed unexpected.

This also shows that when the opportunity arises, Zhang Fei will never forget Liu Bei. Even if such a general stays in the Xuzhou army, does Lu Bu dare to let him take on important responsibilities?

If Zhang Fei made a betrayal at a critical moment, what kind of damage would it cause to the Xuzhou Army.

In fact, Zhang Fei's escape was also something that made it easier for Lu Bu. At least he didn't have to worry about such issues. As for meeting Zhang Fei on the battlefield in the future, he had to ridicule him.

The current situation of Liu Bei in the plain is not as good as imagined. The plain is too small to satisfy Liu Bei's ambitions, and there are many yellow scarves raging in Qingzhou. With Liu Bei's current strength, he wants to wipe out the yellow scarves in Qingzhou. It is impossible.

Among the states and counties of the Han Dynasty, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban is currently the most powerful. Attacking cities is commonplace. After the Qingzhou Yellow Turban fled to Yanzhou, what impact did it have on Yanzhou.
