The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

However, Lu Bu also has the capital to be proud of. Who would make it difficult for the princes to gain advantage in Lu Bu's hands when they confronted Lu Bu? What they think is powerful, but when they come to Lu Bu, they can play a very small role.

This is also an important reason why Lu Bu has a great influence among the princes. After making the princes feel more fear, they dare not be presumptuous in the slightest when facing Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was going to lead the Xuzhou Army to make greater achievements in each confrontation, so that more self-righteous enemies could understand what kind of punishment they would bear when they chose to stand on the opposite side of the Xuzhou Army.

Lu Bu's praise is obviously relatively rare for officials in Xuzhou.

"Thanks to Zhou Mu's praise, I feel terrified of my humble position." Zhang Zhao saluted.

Lu Bu sighed, "Zi Bu has a certain prejudice against Ben Hou, and Ben Hou can understand it."

Zhang Zhaolian didn't dare, even if he really had dissatisfaction in his heart, he couldn't express it at this moment. Lu Bu is a powerful prince. Although his current performance is relatively normal, who can be sure that other things will not happen in the future? thing.

"Zibu, this Marquis treats you with sincerity. Otherwise, why would you be allowed to take such an important position in Zhizhong? With your ability, you will get the most out of it. What you have learned will not be in vain." Lu Bu said: "This Marquis is a military commander, so he doesn't understand any major principles, but this Marquis understands how to communicate with one's heart."

When Zhang Zhao heard this, his heart moved. After hearing Lu Bu's words, it is impossible for any official to maintain absolute calmness. The position of Zhizhong in a state is too important. Engaging in it shows that he has entered the core of power in Xuzhou.

"The state shepherd attaches so much importance to him, the humble official feels uneasy." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "The reason why Zi Bu is uneasy is because he has a prejudice against Ben Hou. Could it be that from Zi Bu's point of view, Ben Hou is so unworthy of following?" Lu Bu said, "When Ben Hou came to Xuzhou, What was the situation in Xuzhou at that time, if the Marquis had not occupied Xuzhou, with Tao Qian's ability, how much he could do after taking charge of Xuzhou."

"With Zibu's eyesight, it can be seen how cruel the wars between the princes were before. If there is not enough strength to ensure the stability of the rule, it is also obvious what difficulties they will encounter in the subsequent development."

"The princes fight each other for their own interests. This is also the current situation. It is difficult for a prince to retreat at such a time. However, this prince is confident in leading Xuzhou's civil and military generals to a higher position. .”

"Isn't it a very happy thing for a talented person to make the most of his ability? How many scholars from humble backgrounds, even if they have the ability, it is difficult to get hired. You don’t need Ben Hou to say more about the truth inside, Zi Bu knows it too.”

Zhang Zhao was silent. Although Lu Bu's words were wrong in some aspects, they were generally correct. It was inevitable for the princes to fight each other for their own interests, because the influence of the Han Dynasty was no longer there. In order to improve one's own strength as much as possible in the process, one must take action.

Did Yuan Shu attack Xuzhou because Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou? It was so simple. Lu Bu's strong rise had aroused Yuan Shu's fear. Under such circumstances, how could Yuan Shu allow Lu Bu to occupy such a wealthy place as Xuzhou? When Lu Bu's strength has been further improved, Yuan Shu may be the one who has been most affected.

If the same war was placed on Tao Qian, Zhang Zhao understood how difficult it would be to get out of such a war.

Zhang Zhao is not weak in strategy, and even more unique in vision.

In troubled times, it would be difficult for any family to retreat completely from such a struggle, and the most effective way is to do more when the princes are fighting for hegemony, so that the family can survive such a battle. process can be developed to a greater extent.

The development of the family is of great significance to the children of the aristocratic family. Some rules of this era have determined that without a good background, even with extraordinary talents, it is difficult to get the appointment of the monarch.

And Zhang Zhao doesn't need to worry about this aspect, the Zhang family in Xuzhou is also a famous family.

From Lv Bu's words, Zhang Zhao could feel that Lv Bu's intention of wooing the government was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. If Zhang Zhao held such an important official position, he would definitely have to express it. Yes, and such an expression is allegiance to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu is a vassal, if the ministers under his rule cannot provide wholehearted support, especially if the officials holding important official positions have other ideas, what kind of impact will it have on the development of Xuzhou? The problem in this regard is that Lu Bu must to consider.

Chapter 526 Zhang Zhao pays homage to the lord

The stability under the rule is important, and the loyalty of the courtiers is also extremely important.

At this time, Lu Bu was very patient. It takes patience to gain the allegiance of such an important subject as Zhang Zhao, and it can be seen from the fact that Zhang Zhao was appointed to work after he took refuge in Zhang Zhao. appreciation.

If at this time, Zhang Zhao also has a lot of recognition for Lu Bu, things will be much simpler.

But Zhang Zhao is a smart person, and smart people often think about many problems.

"Perhaps Zibu wanted to lead his family to Jiangdong, not just for refuge, but also for the family to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, but Zibu had thought about it. After the family went to Jiangdong, it would indeed give the family a sense of security in the troubled times. A stable living environment, but Jiangdong has obvious limitations."

"It is undeniable that Jiangdong Sun Ce has extraordinary means. However, the land of Jiangdong has not been pacified by Sun Ce after all. Besides, even if Sun Ce occupies the land of Jiangdong, will he be able to break through Jingzhou or drive Yuan Shu away? As for Sun Ce If you want to capture Xuzhou, it depends on whether the Marquis agrees." Lu Bu analyzed.

"What Marquis Wen said is true." Zhang Zhaodao, Lu Bu's words were sincere, which he could naturally feel.

Going to Jiangdong will indeed help the family avoid more turmoil, but Jiangdong's limitations will make it difficult for the family to do more in the future.

"With Zibu's talent, under the rule of this Marquis, he will get a greater appointment. What Benhou dares to say is that if Zibu lives up to this Marquis, this Marquis will definitely not let down the Zhang family in Xuzhou." Lu Bu slowly road.

After a brief silence, Zhang Zhao got up and saluted solemnly: "Thanks to the trust of the state pastor, I must do my best to meet the lord."

Zhang Zhao was touched by Lu Bu's last words. The sincerity shown by Lu Bu is irresistible to any official. After having the trust of the monarch, how much will it affect the future development of a subject? Help, Zhang Zhao is clear.

Lv Bu is one of the vassals, and he has extraordinary means in governing the region, and Lv Bu's war ability will make Xuzhou more stable under Lv Bu's governance. This alone is enough to make more families choose to stay in Xuzhou up.

When Xuzhou becomes more stable, it will bring better development opportunities to the families who stay in Xuzhou.

Although Xuzhou is said to be the place of the Fourth World War, Xuzhou has shown a different situation in the hands of Lu Bu. Yanzhou, which is close to Xuzhou, has fallen into the control of Lu Bu, which provides more opportunities for the further stability of Xuzhou. support.

Some counties and counties in Yuzhou also fell into the hands of Lu Bu. In this way, only Qingzhou borders Xuzhou, and the Jiangdong Army can directly attack Xuzhou. can be compared.

From this point of view, the current Xuzhou is indeed suitable for the family to survive. If it can do more in Xuzhou, it will also be of great significance to a family.

Lv Bu enjoyed the happiness brought by Zhang Zhao's recognition of his master. Zhang Zhao was a famous talent in the history of the late Han Dynasty. Being able to get Zhang Zhao's allegiance would be of greater help to Lu Bu's future development. Not an easy thing.

Zhang Zhao's talent determines that when they face some things, they will have responsibility and their own judgment, and such judgment will determine whether they will make a choice.

The Zhang family chose to leave at the beginning because they saw the instability in Xuzhou, but now Xuzhou shows a side that satisfies the family, so the Zhang family will naturally not refuse to stay in Xuzhou.

Perhaps Lu Bu was not as kind as other princes in some ways, but Lu Bu's straightforwardness and sincerity were not possessed by ordinary princes.

From Lu Bu's body, what can be felt is Lu Bu's sincerity, and such sincerity will make wise people make corresponding choices.

The bravery of the Xuzhou army is an important basis for ensuring the stability of Xuzhou, and Lu Bu is a famous general in the world for a long time. It is conceivable how difficult it is for other princes to win victory from Lu Bu.

The progress of the war is both a challenge and an opportunity for the Xuzhou army. If they can reach a higher position in such a challenge, the Xuzhou family will reap more benefits.

The current strength displayed by Lu Bu is an existence that cannot be ignored by any family.

Although there is a big gap between Lu Bu and other princes in terms of background, through his own efforts, Lu Bu can gradually gain the recognition of more families, and let more families understand that following Lu Bu, they can What a deed.

"Zibu, please hurry up. With Zibu's help, I will have nothing to worry about." Lü Bu laughed and said, "This marquis's acquisition of Zibu is like Gaozu's acquisition of Xiao Heye."

Those words moved Zhang Zhao's heart. From Lu Bu's words, what he could feel was Lu Bu's ambition, what kind of person Xiao He was, and what kind of existence Gaozu was. This kind of metaphor may be because of Lu Bu's understanding of his ability. His appreciation also shows Lu Bu's ambition.

Following an ambitious monarch is of great help to talented people. If the monarch does not have corresponding ambitions, even if he has strong strength, he wants to make the officials under his rule have more outstanding achievements. , is not a simple matter.

"Thanks to the lord who attaches so much importance to it, the subordinates will definitely do their best." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands.

From Zhang Zhao's words, Lu Bu felt sincerity, which was extremely important to Lu Bu.

Zhang Zhao's ability to govern the local area is beyond the reach of ordinary officials. If such a talent can perform well in governing Xuzhou, it can be imagined that it will have a great impact on the development of Xuzhou.

At present, what Xuzhou lacks most is talents in internal affairs. If suitable talents are obtained in terms of internal affairs, it will have a greater role in promoting the development of Xuzhou.

Xuzhou will be the place where Zhang Zhao will display his talents in the future.

After paying enough attention to Zhang Zhao and gaining Zhang Zhao's allegiance, it depends on how capable Zhang Zhao is.

"I wonder what Zibu thinks of the current Xuzhou?" Lu Bu asked.

Zhang Zhao understood that this was the beginning of Lu Bu's consideration of him.

"Under the lord's rule, there are the lands of Xuzhou, Yanzhou, and the counties and counties of Yuzhou. In terms of the number of cities under his rule, he is also a leader among the princes, but the lord's control over these cities is not as good as compared with other princes. There is a big gap, and if the control of these cities cannot reach the corresponding level, once a war occurs, many problems will arise."

Chapter 527 Road Repair

"My lord mentioned earlier that the establishment of an institution to supervise officials in Xuzhou is of great help in controlling the situation under the rule. When the prefectural shepherd's government lacks sufficient means to supervise the officials below, these officials will inevitably There were some unsatisfactory moves."

Lu Bu nodded slightly, motioning for Zhang Zhao to continue talking.

"The development of Xuzhou and Yanzhou is far from enough in the eyes of the subordinates. What the lord needs to do now is to rectify the officials, so that the people can live a stable life, make friends with the princes, and avoid causing more fear of the princes." Zhang Show way.

"Zi Bu's words are very true. It is not a matter of rectifying the administration of officials overnight." Lu Bu sighed.

Zhang Zhaodao: "Although the road is far away, as long as you go forward step by step, you can reach it in the end."

Lu Bu laughed and said, "I don't want Zi Bu to have such thought-provoking remarks."

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said, "It's just some superficial understanding, which made my lord laugh."

Lu Bu said: "It's often just some superficial truths. Although more people know it, it's very difficult for them to implement it. Just like generals who lead troops in battle, they understand the importance of distinguishing rewards and punishments, but they really lead the army. When the soldiers are on the battlefield, can they do this better?"

Zhang Zhao nodded and said yes, Lu Bu's words are reasonable, and many people understand the truth, but in the actual implementation, there will be many problems, and it is not a simple matter to understand simple and easy-to-understand things .

As Lu Bu said, simple things, if they can be done to the extreme, are also extraordinary people.

Especially as a person who is a prince, he needs to pay a lot of attention to this aspect.

There may be a big gap between Lu Bu and other princes of the Han Dynasty in terms of knowledge, but Lu Bu understands the gap in himself, and can appoint officials under his rule according to their abilities. Officials can display their talents to a greater extent, which is obviously helpful to the development under the monarchy.

"At present Xuzhou is rich, but the official roads have been in disrepair for a long time. If the Lord can make the roads smoother, it will be more convenient to travel between places, and at the same time, it will be easier for the Lord to control the counties." Zhang Zhaodao: " And building roads requires a large number of people to participate in it, so that people can get a certain amount of money when building roads, which will also be of great help to enhance the influence of the lord."

Lu Bu's eyes brightened when he heard the words. Just as Zhang Zhao said, the most important thing in Xuzhou at present is money. When other princes are trapped by money, Xuzhou's development in this area has already attracted the attention of other princes.

When the monarch can control more money, it will be of great help to the development of his rule. If the money is sufficient, he will far surpass other princes in some developments.

"Zi Bu's words are very true. If Zi Bu hadn't reminded me, the Marquis would have almost forgotten about such an important event," Lu Bu said.

The big man has the official way, and the official way also needs to be repaired. Besides, Lu Bu knows what the road looks like in this era.

When the influence of the Han court ceased to exist among the princes, and the princes supported their troops and would not pay taxes to the court, the influence of the court would be reduced to a greater extent.

In this way, even if the imperial court wants to repair the roads in various states and counties, it is not a simple matter.

After the official road has been in disrepair for a long time, it has a great impact on the monarch's control of the place. If there is a certain achievement in repairing the road, the remaining things will be relatively simple.

If the roads are clear, the delivery of materials will be faster. If there is an emergency, the monarch can respond in time, which will obviously help the monarch's prestige.

Zhang Zhao's reminder reminded Lu Bu of the cement roads in the future world. The cement roads will obviously be more convenient and quicker than the current Dahan roads, but the repair of the cement roads requires a lot of attention. With the cement production method, the speed will be improved faster, and the daily maintenance of the road will be simpler.

Not only that, but even the speed of travel can be greatly improved.

"As for road repairs, Zi Bu temporarily appointed someone to take care of them. It's not too late to wait for Ben Hou's order to start the repairs," Lu Bu said.

Although Zhang Zhao didn't understand why, he still nodded and said that some of Lu Bu's actions were elusive. It is undeniable that these actions of Lu Bu were of great help to the development of Xuzhou.

It is only from the current development of Xuzhou that we can better see this aspect. When Xuzhou develops faster, the benefits brought are also obvious.

Lu Bu's methods in governing the region are not comparable to ordinary princes. With strong financial resources as support, many problems can be solved very well.

The development of Xuzhou is inseparable from the support of money, and the situation is the same when it is placed under the rule of other princes, but there is a big gap between them and Lu Bu in terms of financial resources.

Financial pressure is a big problem for princes.

After Lu Bu has made great achievements in this area, it will definitely have a great influence on other princes.

"Before this Marquis mentioned the matter of supervising local officials in the State Shepherd's Mansion, but when it comes to candidates for important positions such as supervising officials, this Marquis did not think of the right person. I don't know Zibu, but is there anyone to recommend?" Lu Bu asked.

From Lu Bu's words, Zhang Zhao felt that Lu Bu attached great importance to supervising local officials. This is a position that many family members want to obtain, even many officials in Xuzhou's officialdom are no exception. It is also obvious what benefits it can bring to the development of the family

However, Zhang Zhao knew that the reason why Lu Bu set up an institution to supervise local officials was to allow the subordinates to develop better, so that the subordinates would not say that officials violated the arrogance of discipline.

Aristocratic families often use unscrupulous means when they develop their rule, and such development is extremely detrimental to the long-term development of their rule. Even if some princes understand the truth and want to really put an end to this situation, Not an easy task.

The local influence of these families is often beyond the imagination of the princes, and to better contain the development of these families, more powerful means are bound to be needed.

Chapter 528 Zhang Zhao Recommends Full Pet

Compared with other princes, Lu Bu is naturally superior in the degree of fierceness of his methods.

However, in terms of talents, certain support is also required. Otherwise, even if the princes have ambitions without more talents as support, it is not easy to achieve them.

Zhang Zhao naturally knew about Lu Bu's shortage of talents. The main reason was that after Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, it was difficult to fundamentally get more family support. In this case, some things would be even more difficult.

However, it can be seen from Lu Bu's past actions that Lu Bu has much yearning for talents. If he sincerely relies on Lu Bu, it is very possible to get corresponding reuse at this time.

In fact, such a thing will be of great help to the future development of the family. After the aristocratic family has corresponding support for the monarch, what they get in return is the trust of the monarch, and the trust of the monarch can play a role at such times It is so big that it is beyond the imagination of ordinary families.

If they are wise officials, they will do their best when assisting the monarch, because they know that if some actions make the monarch dissatisfied, it will not help them in the slightest to improve in the future.

Lu Bu has a great need for talents, but Lu Bu is also extremely cautious when appointing officials. From the appointment of important officials in Xuzhou, we can actually see this problem better.

When it comes to means, what Zhang Zhao dares to affirm is that Lu Bu is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

However, if the princes in charge of one side are simple-minded, they will not last long. They not only have to fight with the princes, but also deal with the officials under their rule.

Letting Zhang Zhao recommend talents in this field, what can be seen is Lu Bu's trust in him. The monarch has such trust, which is something to be proud of for the courtiers.

However, Zhang Zhao also knew that if the talents he recommended could not better adapt to this official position, his position in Lu Bu's mind would be greatly affected in the future.

After choosing Lu Bu, Zhang Zhao will naturally think more from Lu Bu's point of view, so that the monarch can avoid more problems as much as possible in the process of development, and make the development of the ruler more smooth. This is also extremely critical things.

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Zhao said, "My lord, I recommend someone who can take on this job."
