"Mr. Mu, Benhou is more concerned about what you said before. If you have the heart, go to the State Shepherd's Mansion tomorrow to see Benhou." Lu Bu said, turning his gaze to Mu Ji.
Muji hastily cupped his hands and said, "Here."
After Mu Ji left, Lu Bu said, "I don't know what Feng Xiao thinks about the current situation that this Marquis is in?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia showed a pensive look on his face. He knew that this was the beginning of Lu Bu's consideration of him.
Chapter 121 Guo Jia's View
"Wen Hou, from my point of view, if you stick to Xuzhou, you will definitely lose. At present, Xuzhou has Wen Hou sitting in the town, and Xiaoxiao's generation dare not make trouble, but how many officials in Xuzhou really rely on Wen Hou? If there is a change in Xuzhou, Marquis Wen must be clear about what choices these officials will make." Guo Jia said: "The stability of Xuzhou will be of great help to Marquis Wen's future development. Xuzhou was the site of the Fourth World War. If things go on like this, there will inevitably be losses."
Lu Bu nodded slightly, agreeing with Guo Jia's statement.
"The Xuzhou army's victory over the Yanzhou army and the Qingzhou army's attack shocked the world. Moreover, Marquis Wen formed an alliance with the later general Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's intention to attack Yanzhou is clearly revealed. If Marquis Wen can benefit from Yuan Shu's attack on Yanzhou, Then we can form a situation against Yuan Shu, even if Yuan Shu intends to attack Wen Hou, he should think twice." Guo Jia said.
Lu Bu laughed and said, "Feng Xiao's plan is similar to what Wen He said."
"There are so many resourceful people under Marquis Wen's tent," Guo Jia said.
Lu Bu shook his head and said, "This Marquis has more than 300 million people under his rule, but there are no more than five truly trustworthy officials. If it weren't for this Marquis holding the military power, the hidden enemies would have jumped out long ago."
Guo Jia nodded secretly. What Lu Bu said must be the truth. Being able to tell him the real situation of the officials under his rule showed that Lu Bu trusted him.
"If Feng Xiao is beside me and controls Xuzhou, there will be a greater chance of winning." Lu Bu said with a smile.
"I don't have much talent and learning, I'm afraid I will disappoint Marquis Wen." Guo Jia cupped his hands.
Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "When did Feng Xiao become so humble?"
"This Marquis has a bad reputation, and it is not easy to get help from resourceful people. This Marquis will give absolute trust to every talent who sincerely trusts."
Guo Jia nodded. The burden of fame is indeed Lu Bu's biggest flaw. Even if Lu Bu has made achievements in Xuzhou, it is not easy to really get help from the family.
"If the strength in the hands of this Marquis can reach the level that everyone fears, who would dare to fight against this Marquis? People in the world think that this Marquis can't do anything, so this Marquis must let the people of the world understand that with this Marquis' ability, you can Go to a higher position." Lu Bu said slowly.
Guo Jia's heart moved, Lu Bu wanted to prove his strength, so why not? It seemed that he was infected by Lu Bu's fighting spirit, and Guo Jia was also full of confidence.
Regarding the current situation in Xuzhou, Guo Jia conducted a detailed analysis, and even gave some suggestions on the appointment of talents.
The aristocratic family controls a large amount of resources and has an absolute right to speak in the officialdom. No matter it is any prince, it needs to rely on the power of the aristocratic family. Otherwise, if there are no basic officials under its rule, how can it be done? It is not just a random person In this era, reading and literacy is the privilege of the children of aristocratic families.
Ordinary people, who don't even have a decent name, can they be expected to govern in an orderly manner when they are officials and generals.
If they blatantly contend with the family, relying on the strength of Lu Bu's troops can make the Xuzhou family suffer, but the combined power of the family will overthrow Lu Bu's rule in Xuzhou. This is the powerful influence of the family.
Let the aristocratic family see the hope of following Lu Bu, gain their trust, and gradually control the aristocratic family when their strength develops to a certain level. This is the most sensible move.
Talents include not only children from aristocratic families, but also scholars from poor families, and children from declining families. These powers, after rational use, can play a big role.
In short, officials in Xuzhou should not be allowed to be too comfortable, nor should they be made to feel in danger.
Lu Bu chatted with Guo Jia in the restaurant, but outside the Mu's restaurant, there were quite a few soldiers. These soldiers were quietly waiting for Lu Bu to come out.
After nightfall, the people in the city are not allowed to move around, even if there are soldiers appearing in restaurants in the outer city, it will not cause too much panic.
The soldiers outside the restaurant were waiting in full battle, and Mu Xuan who heard the news was waiting anxiously inside the restaurant.
When Lu Bu appeared in the Mu Family Restaurant, the members of the Mu Family must pay attention to it. When Mu Xuan learned that Lu Bu followed Mu Ji, he no longer looked at Mu Ji with the contempt that he used to. Drinking together, for this alone, deserves Mu Xuan to pay more attention to it in the future.
The position of Pengcheng Changshi is of great significance to the Mu family. How many officials are watching his position? In Xuzhou, Lu Bu has absolute power over the appointment and dismissal of officials. He was kicked off from Chang Shi's position.
Not only in Xuzhou, but also under the rule of other princes. The princes who hold real power are getting more and more powerful.
The door opened, and Mu Xuan hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I've seen the State Shepherd before."
Lu Bu nodded and said, "It's getting late, Chang Shi should go back and rest earlier."
"Here." Mu Xuan cupped his hands and said.
After the group left Mu's Restaurant, they headed towards the inner city.
Even though it was the first watch, Muji still didn't feel sleepy at all. The person he saw in Jubao Pavilion was actually Xuzhou Mu. Even when Mu Xuan talked to him, his tone changed quite a bit. This is the most important thing. Make Muji happy.
"Father, Zhou Muyan, let the child go to the State Mufu Mansion tomorrow to discuss matters, the child does not know how to choose." Mu Ji whispered.
Mu Xuan gave Mu Ji a dissatisfied look and said: "The state shepherd has an order, so naturally you must not disobey it. This is your opportunity. If you can grasp it, you may have a place in Xuzhou's official circles in the future."
"My child understands." Mu Ji clasped his hands, secretly happy in his heart, the reason why he said this was to increase his weight in Mu Xuan's mind, and let Mu Xuan see that he would be promising.
"In front of Zhou Mu, remember not to talk nonsense, and don't leak anything about today's affairs." Mu Xuan urged.
Mu Ji said: "Father, don't worry, the people in the restaurant don't know about this."
Mu Xuan nodded in satisfaction. Regardless of the attitude of Xuzhou officials towards Lu Bu, Lu Bu's status in Xuzhou is unshakable at present. Befriending Lu Bu will be of greater help to the development of the Mu family.
Lu Bu has already proved his ability with victories one after another. How difficult it is to take Xuzhou away from Lu Bu.
Will the Xuzhou Army with Lu Bu be afraid of mere wars?
There are families who are not optimistic about Lu Bu, and there are also families who are willing to follow Lu Bu.
In the hands of Lu Bu, Pengcheng has undergone a lot of changes. The fairy jade has benefited many families. Although the price they got for the fairy jade is not low, after being transported to other states and counties, the benefits they get are still considerable.
Chapter 122 Appointments
Just because family members despise businessmen doesn't mean they won't secretly order family members to do business.
The next day, Lü Bu summoned officials in the State Shepherd's Mansion and appointed Guo Jia to be in charge.
Lu Bu's solemn appointment of the young Guo Jia was beyond the expectations of many officials. He has a high status in Xuzhou to help the state herdsman with advice and affairs, and spends more time in contact with the state herdsmen.
"Wen He, Feng Xiao is not very familiar with some matters in Xuzhou, so he will stay by your side for now," Lu Bu said.
Jia Xu clapped his hands and said yes.
The eyes of everyone looking at Guo Jia changed again. The officials in Xuzhou knew what status Jia Xu held in Lu Bu's heart. Letting Guo Jia follow Jia Xu was enough to explain a lot of problems.
After the officials left, Lu Bu was dealing with important political affairs. There were also yellow scarves in and out of Xuzhou. Most of these yellow scarves came from Qingzhou. There is a saying of being soft-hearted.
Zang Ba is quite famous in Xuzhou, and Qingzhou Yellow Turban has also heard of Zang Ba's name.
Compared with other counties, the situation in Taishan County was the most unstable. Zhang Liao led three thousand soldiers to Taishan County. At this time, the situation in Taishan County was very chaotic.
Although Yanzhou officials evacuated from Taishan County, they also moved all the warehouses in Taishan County, and even many soldiers in the army looted from the hands of the people, which is not much different from the Yellow Turban.
After Zhang Liao came to Taishan County, he was not in a hurry to make a move. Instead, he found the most powerful group of Yellow Turbans in Taishan County, and led an army to defeat them in one fell swoop, shocking the Yellow Turbans active in Taishan County.
The momentum of thunder to stabilize Taishan County is exactly the strategy chosen by Zhang Liao.
When the situation is chaotic, it is impossible to govern the place by ordinary means. As the prefect of Mount Tai, Zhang Liao is still under great pressure. If he cannot lead Taishan County to stability, it will not only be his dereliction of duty, but Lu Bu will also be despised by Xuzhou officials .
During the first month of arriving at Mount Tai, Zhang Liao led the army through three battles, all of which ended in great victories. Zhang Liao directly replenished the elite of the captive yellow scarves into the army. On the contrary, it grew stronger and stronger.
After seeing the situation in Taishan County, Lu Bu nodded slightly. Zhang Liao was brave and resourceful. He was in Taishan County. It was not easy for Liu Dai to get benefits from Zhang Liao.
Taishan County will become an important breakthrough point for the Xuzhou Army to attack Yanzhou in the future.
Let Zhang Liao develop his troops in Taishan County, and he will have an elite army in the future.
The fleeing Yellow Turbans also seemed to be aware of Zhang Liao's horror, and there were not a few people who deliberately avoided Taishan County on their fleeing routes.
The large-scale movement of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans to Yanzhou allowed Lu Bu to see the plans of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans. The strength of the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans is undeniable. Their destructive power is also extremely terrifying. Getting to the Yellow Turban will also cause headaches.
"General, there is a man outside the mansion who claims to be Mu Changshi's young master, who came here at the general's order." The guard walked into the room and said in a low voice.
Lu Bu nodded and said, "Let this person in."
After a while, Mu Ji entered Lu Bu's room under the leadership of his personal guards.
"I've seen the state shepherd." Muji saluted solemnly.
Lu Bu laughed and said, "When did Mr. Mu become so polite, there is no need to be so polite."
Although he heard that Lu Bu was joking, Muji's heart trembled, and he would inevitably think of what happened in Jubao Pavilion.
"The idea you told Ben Hou earlier, Ben Hou thinks it is feasible. If Ben Hou sends you to Yanzhou, do you have the confidence to run the restaurant well in Yanzhou?" Lu Bu asked.
Muji was very excited when he heard the words, and entrusted him with the affairs of Yanzhou. What an important task this is. Although he went to Yanzhou to do business, he was still an influential businessman.
"I will do my best to repay Zhou Mu's kindness." Mu Ji saluted again.
Lu Bu laughed and said: "Although your status in the Mu family is not high, you are still the son of the Mu family. If you are in business, your father might complain about me."
Mu Ji promised with a strong oath: "Don't worry, Zhou Mu, if my father finds out about this and appoints him as Zhou Mu, he will definitely be happy."
"If this is the case, I will leave it to you to do business in Yanzhou. The prefecture's government will provide funds and supplies in the early stage. As for what you can do after you get to Yanzhou, it depends on your own ability." Lu Bu laughed.
Mu Ji clasped his hands and said yes, at this moment, he felt the heavy responsibility of being on the family list, what about doing business, this is his dream, Mu Xuan wants him to enter the officialdom, which is not what he wants.
"However, before going to Yanzhou, you need to follow Benhou to do one thing, Jubao Pavilion. Benhou has many interests." Lu Bu said.
Mu Ji secretly sighed that the hero is sad and beautiful. Although he has never seen Li Qing's face, he is sure that Li Qing is stunning. His identity may not impress Li Qing. Lu Bu is Xuzhou Mu. After revealing his identity, Li Qing is still not obedient Upside down.
Seemingly seeing what Muji was thinking, Lu Bu smiled and said, "The master of the Jubao Pavilion is not as simple as you imagined. If you have enough means to subdue the master of the Jubao Pavilion, this Marquis will be able to take over the master of the Jubao Pavilion." I will intercede for you in front of your father."
"Thank you Zhou Mu." Muji said hastily.
Li Qing is the one he pursued, if possible, he would not mind marrying Li Qing as his concubine, this is already very high treatment for a woman living in the world of mortals.
"However, the identity of this Marquis cannot be revealed at all." Lu Bu reminded.
"Your subordinate understands." Muji is not a dull person. Lu Bu went to Jubao Pavilion not for Li Qing, but for the things in Jubao Pavilion. Before Lu Bu was in Jubao Pavilion, he had discussed with Li Qing about the Hundred Steel Weapons.
"During this time, you can go to Biejia Mansion, follow Mi Zhu, and learn a lot." Lu Bu said.
Muji thanked him and left.
Leaving the State Shepherd's Mansion, Mu Ji's mood was agitated. From now on, he will show his strength under Lu Bu's command. At that time, he will shut up all those who look down on him. With the support of the State Shepherd's Mansion, he arrived in Yanzhou After that, He Chou couldn't do more.
It is precisely because of the support of Xianyu that Pengcheng was able to develop rapidly. A small thing allowed Pengcheng to accumulate a large amount of wealth in a short period of time. It is really incredible to think about it carefully.
After dealing with the affairs in hand, Lu Bu was about to go to the mountains to see the training situation of a hundred soldiers, but Mi Zhu and Wang Yue asked to see him.
Chapter 123 Hundred Refinements Ring First Sword
Ever since he was ordered to investigate the assassins in the Black Clothes Pavilion, Wang Yue had never slackened in the slightest. This was the time for him to prove his ability under Lu Bu's command, and the hundred-steel-smelting long sword promised by Lu Bu had already been delivered to him. In order to get more power, the value of the value is more, and the truth of this is clearer to the king.
Most of Wang Yue's subordinates are swordsmen who walk the rivers and lakes. They also have their own uniqueness in inquiring about news. The place can't see the past and shoots.
The big man also has control over the knights who walk the rivers and lakes, but over the years, the imperial court's control over the local area has gradually weakened, bandits are rampant, and many knights have emerged.
The great chivalrous men serve the country and the people, but chivalry is prohibited by martial arts. These chivalrous men with high martial arts skills will draw their swords when they see injustice.
"Marquis Wen, I have found out the clues. The Black Clothes Pavilion used to have contacts with the Qin family in the city. I even suspect that there are people from the Black Clothes Pavilion living in the Qin family." Wang Yue said.
Lu Bu asked, "The Qin family?"
"The Qin family is a family of Pengcheng, and its strength is not strong, but it has existed in Pengcheng for decades. Qin Si, Prime Minister of Xiapi, is said to have a certain relationship with the Qin family in the city, but the Qin family of Xiapi and the Qin family of Pengcheng, Basically no contact." Wang Yue said: "Now Qin Li from the Qin family is serving as the county magistrate."
"Secretly investigate, don't startle the snake." Lu Bu ordered.
Wang Yue nodded. In order to find out what was going on in the Black Clothes Pavilion, Wang Yue personally took action and searched for a month before he found the traces of the Black Clothes Pavilion. It can be seen how terrifying the hidden skills of these people are.
"Secretly send reliable people to monitor the magistrate of Liuxian County. If there is any abnormality, directly control it." Lu Budao, Liuxian County is close to Peiguo, and it is Yuan Shu who currently occupies Peiguo. If the Qin family is cornered, Liuxian County If Ling turned to Yuan Shu instead, it would be a lot of trouble.
"Here." Wang Yue cupped his hands.
Lu Bu said: "There is a shop called Jubao Pavilion in the outer city, you can inquire about the details of the owner of this shop."
After Wang Yue left, Mi Zhu was ordered to enter the room.
After becoming the state shepherd, although some matters were handed over to Jia Xu and others, he still needed to intervene in major matters, and Lu Bu had to spare time every day to solve these matters.
The changes in the world situation made Lu Bu feel the urgency of time, and there was not much time left for him to develop Xuzhou. According to the analysis of Jia Xu and Guo Jia, Yuan Shu would soon attack Liu Dai.
At present, Yuan Shao's troops are restrained by Gongsun Zan, which is the best opportunity to eradicate Yuan Shao's supporter Liu Dai.
"Zi Zhong came here, why?" Lu Bu asked.
Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, my sister and my lord's wedding is approaching, do you want to invite officials from other states and counties?"
