The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Lu Bu nodded and said, "It should be so."

"This subordinate will order someone to do it." Mi Zhu said.

Lu Bu said: "All the princes, including Chang'an, must send invitations."

"This subordinate understands." Mi Zhu was a little excited. Taking a concubine is not a big deal. Even if Lu Bu didn't tell the other princes, it is reasonable. Lu Bu treats his marriage with the Mi family so solemnly, perhaps because of other reasons. The purpose, but it reflects the importance of the Mi family.

In fact, Lu Bu took Mi Zhen as a concubine, and the members of the Mi family were somewhat reluctant, because the concubine's status in the family was not high.

"Tell Tai Neng that he loves the princes, that when I marry a wife, the marriage will be held in Pengcheng."

After leaving the State Shepherd's Mansion, Mi Zhu immediately ordered someone to handle the matter. What Lu Bu said was marrying a wife, not taking a concubine, which was enough to make Mi Zhu very excited. The ones who go out are different, what these families value is not face.

The more Lu Bu attaches importance to this marriage, the more it can reflect the importance of the Mi family.

Attached to Lu Bu, Mi Zhu naturally wanted to further strengthen the family's strength, not only the Mi family, but other officials who were loyal to Lu Bu, why didn't they want to make the family's strength further.

For the development of the family, how many family members will do everything possible.

Three days later, the news about Lu Bu's wedding spread in Xuzhou, and the invitations were quickly sent to the states. As for how the officials of the states would react after receiving the news, it was beyond Lu Bu's expectations. Arranging the marriage is not to declare his existence to the princes of the world.

In the early days when Lu Bu was in charge of Xuzhou, he condemned the princes of the world. However, Lu Bu proved his sovereignty in Xuzhou with his victory, which was enough to make many people shut up.

Just after the news of Lu Bu's big wedding came out, news came from the craftsman workshop that made Lu Bu excited. Lu Tong had already mastered the forging method of [-]-year-old steelmaking, with a success rate of [-]%.

Upon hearing the news, Lu Bu immediately took Jia Xu to the craftsman's workshop.

Since Jia Xu is sincerely loyal, Lu Bu will let him get in touch with more confidential things. Jia Xu is wise and will definitely understand his intentions.

This was Jia Xu's first visit to a craftsman's workshop outside the city. Although Lu Bu had told him many confidential things in Xuzhou, Jia Xu did not go there.

Jia Xu was slightly shocked by the heat in the craftsman's workshop. Thanks to the efforts of hundreds of craftsmen, the air was very hot.

"Zhou Mu." With Lu Zhu's support, Lu Tong walked over tremblingly.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Take me to have a look."

The craftsman's workshop stores the weapon warehouse, and the ten Bailianhuan first knives are neatly placed in the most conspicuous position. In the warehouse, the most indispensable thing is the weapon armor.

"Zhou Mu, this is the forged Bailianhuanshoudao." Lu Tong said excitedly. It is the pride of a craftsman to see the Bailian steel sword successfully forged in his hands in his lifetime.

"Bring a weapon." Lu Bu ordered.

A soldier immediately took out an ordinary ring-shou knife from the warehouse. He said it was ordinary. In terms of the quality of the weapon, it was much better than the equipment of the Yanzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army. The Xuzhou Army relied on this kind of soldiers at the beginning. The sharpness of the blade defeated the Yanzhou army with a large number of people.

Lu Bu lightly stroked the first knife of Bailianhuan, feeling the sharpness of the blade.

After the soldiers settled down, Lu Bu raised his ring-headed knife and slashed down.

But there was a crack in the Huan Shou Dao in the soldier's hand, and there was only a gap the size of a sesame seed in the Bai Lian Huan Shou Dao.

Bailian's first ring knife fell again, and the first ring knife in the soldier's hand broke with the sound.

"Good knife." Jia Xu praised.

If all the soldiers in the Xuzhou Army were equipped with such weapons, they would be extremely terrifying on the battlefield. Just imagine what kind of reaction would happen if the enemy soldiers found that the weapons in their hands broke after collisions on the battlefield. reaction.

Chapter 124 Scimitar?

"Bring the armor," Lu Bu said.

The first knife of Bailianhuan had two collisions, and the gap was almost negligible.

Armor is made of animal skin and iron. If it is all forged with iron, it will not only consume a lot of iron, but it will be difficult for soldiers to move freely on the battlefield. matter.

With the knife in hand, the armor failed to stop the sharpness of Bailianhuan's first knife and was directly damaged.

"Not bad." Lu Bu nodded.

Lu Tong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Zhou Mu. If it weren't for Zhou Mu, Cao Min would probably not be able to see the success of forging a hundred-refined weapon in his lifetime."

"Lu Lao doesn't need to be so polite. The craftsman workshop can forge hundreds of refined weapons, and the soldiers in the army can kill more enemies on the battlefield. Lu Lao is also contributing to the soldiers in the army." Lu Bu laughed.

Jia Xu's heart moved. From the conversation between the two, he could see that the forging of the hundred-steel weapon had an inseparable relationship with Lu Bu. This made him quite puzzled. Unbeatable, not only has the method of making immortal jade, but also has the method of forging a hundred-refined weapon.

"Forging a hundred-refined weapon requires a lot of energy. One hundred-refined weapon requires three or even four iron materials that are required for ordinary weapons." Lu Tongtong said.

"Forge more hundred-refined weapons as soon as possible, and the Marquis will order people to send the number of weapons that need to be forged." Lu Bu said: "There is a lack of supplies, and the State Shepherd's Mansion will find a way."

"Here." Lu Tong cupped his hands.

After forging a hundred-refined weapon, Lu Tong looked much more energetic.

The method Lu Bu gave Lu Tong to forge a hundred-refined steel weapon is a simple method for later generations to forge steel. With the current technology, there is no way to complete the more sophisticated steel-making technology. The Xuzhou army can equip a hundred-refined weapon. It has already opened a large distance from other princes.

After the mass production of Hundred Refined Weapons, they can not only be equipped to the Xuzhou Army, but also can be exchanged for a large amount of supplies from the princes. Which princes don't want their soldiers to be better equipped.

In the current Xuzhou army, there are very few military masters and above who can use hundred-refined steel weapons, which is enough to see the scarcity of hundred-refined weapons.

When soldiers in the army fight on the battlefield, how will their combat effectiveness be improved after they have more sophisticated weapons?

Now the Xuzhou craftsman workshop can forge hundreds of refined weapons, which is a huge advantage.

"Congratulations to my lord for getting such a sharp blade. In the future, Xuzhou's army will be able to conquer the battlefield and be invincible." Jia Xu cupped his hands.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "One hundred refining weapons is a very important matter. In the future, Wenhe should not slack off in the matter of the craftsman's workshop, especially in keeping secrets."

"This subordinate understands." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu has given too many surprises to the princes of the world. After having a hundred-refined weapon, the surprises brought to the princes will be even greater.

As for materials, Jia Xu believes that Lu Bu will solve them well. The appearance of Xianyu has allowed Lu Bu to get a lot of money and materials, and the wealth he secretly amassed is enough to make other princes jealous.

Jia Xu has a feeling that Lu Bu may create greater possibilities in the future.

Suppressing the feudal lords, accomplishing the career of king and hegemony, assisting the great Han to rejuvenate, becoming a famous minister through the ages, but can leave his name in history.

It doesn't matter what kind of reputation you have in the past, winners and losers, losers will become dust in the long river of history.

In the past when Chu and Han fought for hegemony, Xiang Yu, the overlord, was so proud. Although some of the actions of Gaozu Liu Bang made people feel ashamed, it was Gaozu Liu Bang who won the world in the end, and he was praised by later generations. This is the benefit of success.

"Can this thing be forged?" Lu Bu asked, pointing to the drawing on the wall.

"Marquis Wen, Caomin has never seen this thing before, so he must try his best." Lu Tong said.

"Okay, if it can be forged successfully, I will give you a lot of rewards." Lu Bu said: "This time the craftsman's workshop has forged hundreds of refined weapons, and each craftsman will be rewarded with a thousand coins, and Mr. Lu will reward each craftsman with ten thousand coins. If you make a breakthrough, you can even get an official reward."

"Thank you Zhou Mu." Lu said.

A thousand dollars is not a small amount in the eyes of a craftsman, but what Lu Tong valued more was the sentence behind Lu Bu, to be rewarded by an official position means that a craftsman can also become an official, and this is the greatest honor. If such news spreads in the craftsman's workshop, how much passion will the craftsmen achieve.

After Lu Tong left excitedly, Jia Xu said: "My lord, if you reward the craftsman with an official position, I'm afraid it will cause opposition from Xuzhou officials."

Lu Bu said: "In troubled times, there are not so many rules. At that time, I will let the craftsmen enjoy the treatment of officials, instead of going to various places to serve."

"My lord is wise, this move will definitely make the craftsmen work harder." Jia Xu cupped his hands.

Jia Xu was quite surprised by Lv Bu’s plans for the craftsman’s workshop and the current achievements of the craftsman’s workshop. It is no secret that the princes build craftsmen’s workshops. When the court does not provide weapons and armor, everything needs the princes themselves s hard work.

As for the materials needed to make weapons and armor, the princes can find their own way. It is impossible for the current taxes of the states to be transported to the Chang'an court. In the eyes of the princes, Dong Zhuo is a traitor of the great man. It's not helping the evildoers.

The princes naturally deducted taxes to develop their strength.

"What is the weapon that the lord just mentioned?" Jia Xu questioned.

Lu Bu explained: "This is a scimitar. If it is equipped with cavalry, it will definitely increase the combat effectiveness of cavalry."

The ability of the craftsman workshop to create a hundred-steel-smelting weapon made Lu Bu see many opportunities. Equipping the army with a hundred-steel-smelting weapon will bring about an improvement in the overall strength of the army. Of course, if you want a large-scale equipment In the military, it is difficult to support Xuzhou's financial resources, which are several times the usual consumption. Such a price is unbearable

Xuzhou not only needs to develop its military power, but also needs to invest money in the development of the city. If there is a famine, the state pastoral government needs to provide rice and grain to help the people. These things must be taken into account.

The development of military power is the first priority, and the development under the rule requires investment, and we still cannot relax.

"Machete?" Jia Xu pondered.

"If the scimitar is successfully forged by then, Wen He will be able to see how powerful the scimitar is." Lu Bu said confidently. The scimitar is a sharp weapon for cavalry to fight. Currently, the weapons used by cavalry are mainly spears. The length of the spear can give the cavalry an advantage on the battlefield, but it is far inferior to the scimitar in terms of lethality.

The scimitar is light and flexible, which saves the cavalry's physical strength and speeds up the cavalry's killing speed on the battlefield. After being used properly, the cavalry's destructive power will be greater.

After leaving the craftsman's workshop, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to return to the city, but brought Jia Xu to the place where the immortal jade was made.

Chapter 126 Assessment System

Lu Bu nodded slightly, "Before, Benhou ignored this matter."

"There are many assessments in the army. Marquis Wen can adopt the method of assessing and rewarding a hundred refined weapons to improve the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and then the various ministries will use it as an excuse to gradually distribute these weapons to the soldiers. It is not difficult to win the competition between the various ministries, and it not only allows those who are capable in the army to obtain a hundred-refined weapon, but also convinces the generals in the army." Guo Jia said.

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "The words of filial piety are very true."

Soldiers in the army need incentives. There is no clear incentive system. It is far from enough to rely solely on the pale words of encouragement from generals in ordinary training. Rewards in terms of materials and money are just means, and the purpose is to make soldiers more elite.

The victories in the previous wars have condensed the fighting spirit in the Xuzhou Army, which is beyond the reach of ordinary troops. Lu Bu is quite satisfied with the changes in the Xuzhou Army.

When an army can form their glory and pride, it can be called an elite division.

"Send the generals of the various ministries to come to discuss matters, and I will give them benefits. It depends on whether they can grasp it." Lu Bu laughed.

"Marquis Wen's move will definitely make the generals in the army go crazy." Guo Jia said.

During the time spent with Lu Bu, Guo Jia discovered many differences between Lu Bu and the rumors. Lu Bu's indifference in front of Xuzhou officials was only superficial. Generous, some good opinions can be listened to.

Such a monarch has a greater possibility, otherwise, no matter how powerful Lu Bu's martial arts are, how can he defeat all the princes in the world with just the army?

Being cold and arrogant yet able to listen to suggestions, Guo Jia couldn't help but have some expectations for Lu Bu.

After Guo Jia recounted the discussion with Lu Bu, the faces of the generals in the army turned red. Weapons are one of the most precious things for soldiers to fight on the battlefield. If they lose their weapons, how can they fight with the enemy with bare hands on the battlefield? .

As for the Hundred Refined Weapons, they are extremely scarce in the Xuzhou Army.

That's why when they knew that those who ranked high in the assessment would get the hundred-refined weapon, they were very excited. The hundred-refined weapon is something that many soldiers dream of.

The assessment is also carried out in different levels. Below the head of the village, the top five will be selected, and above the head of the village, the top five will be selected. In this way, the chances of the generals in the army to get the hundred-refined weapon will be increased.

For the top five, how difficult is it for the [-] soldiers outside Xuzhou City, especially for soldiers below the head of the village, it will be even more difficult to obtain a hundred-refined weapon, but it is good to have hope after all. Speaking of soldiers, even the commanders and military lords can hardly imagine that they can get a hundred-refined weapon.

Not to mention anything else, the price of a hundred-refined weapon alone is enough to make people daunting.

In Jubao Pavilion, there is a hundred-refined ring sword worth 20 yuan. In fact, the purchasing power of 20 yuan is more than enough to make thirty.

Lu Bu said: "Hundred refined weapons, each worth more than [-] yuan, the monthly assessment, this lord has added a million yuan to the lottery."

The general in the army showed a smile, one million dollars a month, and more than ten million dollars a year, and this is only for weapons. From this point, it can be seen that Lu Bu attaches great importance to the development of the army. In the rear of such a general, why don't you worry about better treatment.

"It's not just the assessment of the generals in the army. The assessment will be conducted on the basis of the officers and men of each department. The winning team will get fifty hundred-refined weapons."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves. Compared with the rewards for winning the assessment of each department, five hundred-refined weapons are really nothing. From the standard of rewards, it can be seen that Lu Bu's combat ability for each department is comparable to that of an individual. Combat capability is more important.

"After you go back, make some preparations. The assessment will gradually start tomorrow." Lu Bu said.

After the generals of the various ministries left the big tent, they talked a lot on the way. The rewards in the army this time were unprecedented. In one assessment, sixty hundred-refined weapons were invested, and the value of the weapons alone exceeded 600 yuan. ten thousand dollars.

This is an opportunity for the generals in the army. The general attaches great importance to the development of the army, and they will have greater possibilities in the army. No one wants to stand out and reach a higher position.

In the Xuzhou army at this time, not only the generals, but all the soldiers who have gone through the war have expectations and longings. The position of the head of the village is obtained in exchange for the credit obtained on the battlefield.

The head of the village is the watershed between the generals and the soldiers. After becoming the head of the village, not only the power has increased, but also the military salary.

Because of an order from Lu Bu, the Xuzhou Army set off a training craze again, and they were alive. They are also soldiers in the Xuzhou Army, and no one will admit that they are weaker than others.

So what if the training is a little harder, other people can bear it, why can't it be me.

With such a belief, they showed even higher fighting spirit during the training process.

Not only the soldiers who have experienced the war, but the young and strong who have joined the army are also infected by other soldiers. If they don't work hard at this time, they will be despised by others. If you get good grades, you will naturally work harder.

The generals of the various ministries directly stated that if they win in the competitions of the various ministries, the 60 people with the best performance will get the hundred-refined weapon. In order to succeed, the generals of the various ministries have also thought of a lot of ways.

For the generals of the Xuzhou Army, the biggest threat is from the trapped camp. Although there are only 800 people in the trapped camp, they have shown strong combat effectiveness in previous battles. Fortunately, only 800 people participated in the trapped camp. This calculation If so, they still have the possibility of winning.

The trapped camp can achieve a hearty victory against the Yanzhou Army, but it may not necessarily be the case against the Xuzhou Army.

Lu Bu was quite satisfied with the enthusiasm shown by the lieutenant soldiers during the training, and it was exactly this kind of army that he needed.

Compared with the thundering shouts of killing during the training of other soldiers, the training of the trapped camp is not much different from the past, but the expressions of the soldiers trapped in the camp also show a look of expectation.

How rare is a hundred-refined weapon blade? Even for a military lord, it is not easy to use a hundred-refined weapon blade. Now as long as they win the exercise with other ministries, they can get excellent weapons blade.
