The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Afterwards, the two discussed the price of the Hundred Refined Weapon. In the end, the Hundred Refined Spear was sold at a price of 19 yuan. The long spear here is only the tip of the spear, and Yuan Shu will be responsible for the rest. The famous craftsman came to take charge, the Bailian long sword cost [-] yuan each, and the Bailian ring sword cost [-] yuan each.

This is the result of an hour of verbal confrontation between Yang Hong and Chen Gong.

"Likes, long swords, ring swords, a total of [-] pieces. After the supplies arrive, the weapons will be delivered." Chen Gong said.

Yang Hong shook his head and said, "No."

What happened in Yanzhou has already shown Yang Hong the so-called promise of Lu Bu, thousands of weapons, but more than 1 million yuan. After such a large amount of materials are transported to Yanzhou, if Yanzhou does not give weapons, is it true that Yuan Shu Do you still want to send troops to commit crimes?

"From Yang Changshi's point of view, what should we do?" Chen Gong asked with a smile, and he was also quite happy to complete the task beyond the goal.

Just as Lu Bu said, if you sell Yuan Shu thousands of hundred-refined weapons, Lu Bu will equip the army with more hundred-refined weapons. Thousands of hundred-refined weapons seem to be quite a lot, but if they are actually distributed to Yuan Shu's army, the number will not be large. There are many, and with the obtained materials, Lu Bu can forge more weapons. If there is no profit, how could Lu Bu trade with Yuan Shu.

Funding the enemy is also strengthening oneself.

"After the weapons are delivered to Yangzhou, the supplies will be sent to Yanzhou." Yang Hong said.

Chen Gong shook his head, "Materials can be paid [-]% first, and after the weapon is built, the remaining materials can be exchanged. How about the trading place near Shanyang County and Jiyin County?"

"Why do you have to pay [-]% first?" Yang Hong questioned.

Chen Gong said with a smile: "If General Yuan doesn't need it after the weapon is built, wouldn't Marquis Wen invest in supplies for nothing?"

Yang Hong nodded and agreed, trading hundreds of refined weapons is of real benefit to the army. If Lu Bu releases the news, the princes may force their scalps to come to Yanzhou for trading.

In terms of business, Yang Hong suddenly admired Lu Bu's methods. There are also high-level and low-level business operations. For example, selling a hundred steel-smelting weapons is a high-level transaction. The princes will send important officials under their command. Can these people still say that Lu Bu is full? The smell of copper on the body is not good.

The transactions between the various princes will be related to the development of the future situation. Even though Yang Hong knew that Lu Bu was willing to sell the Hundred Refined Weapons, there would be huge profits, he had to agree.

Only after the strength of the army is improved, will there be a greater chance of winning when facing the Xuzhou army. Otherwise, the gap between the Yangzhou army and the Xuzhou army will become wider and wider. method, it is also possible to trade with other princes.

"After I return to Yangzhou, I will order people to prepare supplies and send them to Yanzhou." Yang Hong said.

"If Yang Changshi needs fairy jade, I can make the decision." Chen Gong laughed.

Yang Hong's expression changed. He had heard about the immortal jade that was popular among the great men. Under Yuan Shu's rule, many businessmen went to Pengcheng for the purpose of obtaining immortal jade, and the profit of immortal jade was not small.

Behind Yang Hong is the Yang family, and the profits obtained through Xianyu are quite a lot, Yang Hong is quite moved.

"I don't know how much Biejia can decide?" Yang Hong asked.

"If it's exchanged with materials, it's 550 yuan a piece, while using money is [-] yuan a piece." Chen Gongdao: "This is also the greatest power under my hand."

"I see that Yang Changshi is a trustworthy person, so he sold it at such a price. Otherwise, even if Yang Changshi sent people to Pengcheng, it would be impossible to get such a price."

Yang Hong nodded and agreed. On this matter, Chen Gong did not lie. When Lu Bu got married, the price of Pengcheng Xianyu was indeed reduced to [-] yuan a piece, which attracted merchants to flock to him and sent a large amount of supplies to Xuzhou. , which also made the princes envious.

Now the price of Pengcheng Xianyu has returned to the past. Even so, there will still be many merchants going there. Xianyu is different from gold, silver and jewelry. After using it, you need to buy it again. After using Xianyu, if you don’t continue If you use it, there will be a very awkward feeling.

The dignitaries and nobles don't care so much about the money.

After sending Yang Hong away, Chen Gong immediately returned to Lu Bu's residence.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "The public platform is a good way. If you sell it at such a price, I can get more than ten times the profit."

With Chen Gong's disposition, he was a little shocked when he learned of the profit from the sale of Hundred Refined Weapons. According to his guess, it must be difficult to forge Hundred Refined Weapons. weapon.

"When Gongtai arrives in Xuzhou in the future, this Marquis will take Gongtai to the craftsman's workshop to have a look." Lu Bu said proudly, "The benefits of Hundred Refined Weapons are much worse than Immortal Jade."

What Chen Gong felt from Lu Bu's words was absolute trust. The Xuzhou craftsman's workshop has Xuzhou's secrets, and there must be a small number of officials who can go to the craftsman's workshop to watch it. It is unimaginable that Lu Bu trusted him so much.

"Thanks to the trust of the lord, I am very grateful." Chen Gong cupped his hands.

Lv Bu laughed and said, "Gongtai treats Benhou with sincerity, and I must treat Gongtai with sincerity. Now that Yanzhou is not stable, just when talents are needed, can Gongtai have confidence in guarding Yanzhou?"

Chapter 193 Imperial Messenger?

"I will never quit my humble job." Chen Gong saluted solemnly.

Being in charge of Yanzhou's affairs not only made Chen Gong feel the trust, but also felt the heavy responsibility on his shoulders. Since Yanzhou was after Lv Bu's Korean drama, there was absolutely no reason to let it go, and the means that Lv Bu showed on the Yanzhou battlefield were not Yuan Shu can reach it.

With less troops than the Yanzhou Army and the Yangzhou Army, the greatest benefits have been obtained in Yanzhou. After the news is spread, it will definitely shock the princes.

For the other princes, this is a miracle. Yuan Shu is so powerful, he is the most powerful person among the princes. When Lu Bu fought Yuan Shu, he had the upper hand. If it weren't for the strength of Lu Bu's troops If it is not enough, it is even possible to defeat Yuan Shu and capture Chenliu County and Jiyin County.

The monarch has strong strength and extraordinary means, which will make his subjects have greater confidence.

Chen Gong took refuge in Lu Bu, not only to resist Cao Cao, but also to see the potential in Lu Bu. Assisting Lu Bu to achieve a great cause is not a small challenge for Chen Gong, and it will also make Chen Gong famous all over the world. extremely caring.

"After the scourge of the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou, there was a lot of turmoil in Yanzhou. The Marquis will send Zhang Liao to Changyi to assist Gongtai, and recruit [-] troops in Yanzhou." Lu Bu said, sometimes, the army has a large number of people, and it still has a great advantage Yes, for example, after occupying a city, it is necessary to divide the troops to guard it.

Lv Bu could foresee that there would inevitably be a battle between him and Yuan Shu. Not only Yanzhou wanted to expand its troops, but Xuzhou also had to do the same.

"Here." Chen Gong cupped his hands.

There is a lot of turmoil in Yanzhou. After the arrival of the Xuzhou army, this situation will definitely change. With the strength of the Xuzhou army, even if there are yellow scarves in Yanzhou, they dare not be rampant. In the past, Cao Cao led the army to defeat the yellow scarves from Qingzhou. Now They screamed together in the mountains and forests, but the enemy they faced turned into Lu Bu.

"My lord, from the point of view of my subordinates, when dealing with the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou, we should not focus on comforting them. Most of the Yellow Turbans are poor people. They betrayed the imperial court and plundered counties and counties because they were forced to live. If the Lord can give the Yellow Turbans a way out If so, then Yanzhou will settle down faster." Guo Jia said.

Lv Bu nodded and said: "The words of filial piety are reasonable. I have ordered the counties and counties of Yanzhou that within a month, the Yellow Turbans who take the initiative to seek refuge will not be blamed. If not, the army will come and no one will be left behind."

"My lord is wise." Guo Jia and Chen Gong said in unison.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Fengxiao and Gongtai are not flatterers. There is no need for such flattery. If the ruler wants to develop, he must let the people see hope. This Marquis is not a militaristic person."

Chen Gong was very relieved when he heard the words. As Lu Bu is a general, if he concentrates on developing an army, it will hurt both Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

Now it seems that there are many differences from the imagination. Immortal Jade and Hundred Refined Weapons will be sold in Changyi, which will definitely promote the prosperity of Changyi to a large extent. It can make the Yanzhou treasury no shortage of money and food.

When Liu Dai and Cao Cao were in charge of Yanzhou, they certainly did not have the prosperity of Changyi in the future.

Who would have thought that this was what a general would do.

Wang Kai knocked on the door and entered, seeing both Chen Gong and Guo Jia, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the imperial envoy is only twenty miles away from Changyi."

"Imperial envoy?" Lu Bu wondered.

At present, Dong Zhuo is still in charge of the court. He has the supplies and people brought back from Luoyang. Dong Zhuo’s life in Chang’an is very nourishing. It is said that he spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build a fort called Meiwu. The luggage is enough to consume the army in the fort for ten years.

In fact, in terms of financial and military strength, Dong Zhuo is the most powerful force, but after returning to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo seems to have lost his original fighting spirit, and he is greedy for enjoyment every day. Everything can only be dealt with after Dong Zhuo intervenes. .

Dong Zhuo lived a life of rich clothes and fine food, while the emperor in the palace lived a shabby life. The ministers of the court dared not speak out against Dong Zhuo.

The entire court had already become Dong Zhuo's hall of speech.

Although Dong Zhuo is not an emperor, he has more power in the court than the emperor.

The envoy sent by the imperial court was Li Su. There was an accident in Yanzhou, and Liu Dai, the shepherd of Yanzhou, died at the hands of the Yellow Turban. Cao Cao took over Yanzhou and recommended Yuan Shao as the shepherd of Yanzhou. The court will still give face.

In fact, according to Dong Zhuo's character, the so-called recommendations of the princes must disagree. Whether it is Liu Dai or Cao Cao, they are all one of the princes who attacked him in the past, but Dong Zhuo is also afraid that the princes of the world will unite to attack again, so there is still a lot to appease the princes. It is necessary, besides, the imperial court has the power to appoint, and sometimes, if some small tricks are used in the appointment, it may attract the mutual hatred of the princes.

Even before Li Su arrived in Changyi, he learned about the changes in Yanzhou. It turned out that Lu Bu was in charge of Changyi. Li Su was very surprised. He still had a certain understanding of this old man. The reason why Li Su was able to successfully persuade Lu Bu to betray Ding Yuan.

But after Lu Bu's betrayal of Dong Zhuo, Li Su suddenly found that he could not see through the old man. He entered Xuzhou with a strong attitude, gained a firm foothold in Xuzhou, and repelled the invading army of the princes.

Li Su didn't know why Lu Bu had such a sudden change.

Li Su had recommended Lu Bu to Dong Zhuo's command back then. After Lu Bu's betrayal happened, Li Su's position under Dong Zhuo's command was somewhat awkward. Many people criticized him, and even Dong Zhuo expressed his dissatisfaction with him openly and secretly.

Otherwise, how could Li Su come to Yanzhou as an envoy of the imperial court.

It is very dangerous for the officials and generals under Dong Zhuo to go on an envoy. Also be careful.

"Messenger, there are officials from Changyi coming to greet you." The general outside the carriage said.

Li Su said with a smile: "Since there is a team coming to welcome you, I will go see you now."

The current status of imperial envoys is very embarrassing. When they meet powerful princes, they don’t even pretend to speak. For them, the appointment of the imperial court is just a tool to attract people’s hearts. Are you affected?

If you want to change the situation of the court, you need a powerful person to deter the princes so that the princes dare not violate them.

The person who came to meet Li Su was Wang Kai, who was in charge of Yanzhou Zhizhong.

After taking refuge in Lu Bu, Wang Kai was reused. Now Wang Kai is responsible for many things in Yanzhou, and even the Wang family where Wang Kai belongs has improved a lot in strength.

Chapter 194 Recommending Chen Gong

Wang Kai's risky move at a critical moment has brought a lot of benefits to the Wang family, and he is likely to become the head of the Wang family.

"Wang Kai worked in Yanzhou Zhizhong and met the envoy." Wang Kai saluted solemnly.

Li Su stepped forward to help Wang Kai up and said, "Thank you, the king is under administration."

If when the Han Dynasty is stable, the imperial court has envoys, and the officials of the prefectures and counties have not all come out to welcome them. How can it be like now, the princes can send officials to welcome them at will, but the envoys cannot be angry.

"Envoy please." Wang Kai signaled.

Not only did the court envoys not have enough status, even the envoys' team could not show the majesty of the royal family.

Yanzhou has just experienced war, and many shops on both sides of the street are still closed. Among them, some businessmen even left directly, and even the shops have not had time to deal with them.

"Yanzhou is very prosperous and prosperous." Li Su said with a smile.

Wang Kai echoed, "Chang'an is the capital of the Great Han Dynasty, so wouldn't it be more prosperous."

"Wen Hou is an old friend of the envoy, and it is a blessing to see Wen Hou in Changyi City." Li Su said.

Wang Kai said: "Marquis Wen also mentioned a lot to the envoy."

The two flattered each other along the way, and soon arrived at the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Li Su's performance made Wang Kai quite satisfied. As an envoy of the imperial court, he didn't have a tough attitude, but gave people a sense of spring breeze.

Of course, this was due to the decline of the imperial court's influence. If it were placed in a stable state, Wang Kai's mood would definitely not be so relaxed.

Those who can serve as envoys to one side represent the imperial court and the majesty of the emperor.

The aura exuded by the soldiers guarding the State Shepherd's Mansion was even more terrifying than those in Li Su's entourage. The soldiers outside the State Shepherd's Mansion looked like they had experienced wars, and they exuded a strong killing intent.

In the past, the army under Dong Zhuo was the most elite existence among the princes, but after the comfort and enjoyment, the soldiers in the army have gradually lost their original fighting spirit. If the army confronts, it will definitely be Lu Bu who wins, not Dong Zhuo.

The elite not only need to experience battles, but also have strict training in the ordinary. If they can't even guarantee this aspect, even if they have a glorious record in the past, they can only be depressed.

Seeing the soldiers guarding the State Shepherd's Mansion, Li Su nodded secretly, not to mention Lv Bu's character, in terms of combat and training soldiers, it must be comparable to other generals, otherwise, Lv Bu would not have gained Dong Zhuo's attention.

In the past, the iron cavalry under Lu Bu's command could compete with the most elite flying bear army under Dong Zhuo's tent.

The imperial court sent envoys here, and Lu Bu still attached great importance to it. He summoned the civil servants and generals of Yanzhou to come. Anyway, if he had an appointment from the imperial court, it would be smoother for him to take charge of Yanzhou.

"Imperial envoy Li Su has met Marquis Wen." Li Su stepped forward and saluted.

Lv Bu nodded slightly and said, "Weigong and Benhou are from the same village. When you come to Yanzhou, you are at your own place."

Li Su's heart warmed. Lu Bu was sincere in his attitude towards his fellow countrymen. Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country is a joyful thing in itself.

"Knowing that Marquis Wen made great contributions to the pacification of Yanzhou, the sage's special envoy came to congratulate him. I don't know if Marquis Wen has a favorite candidate for Yanzhou shepherd?" Li Su asked.

Hearing the words, the officials in the field turned their attention to Lu Bu and the state shepherd, but the officials in charge of a party have great power in their hands. Lu Bu is currently the Xuzhou shepherd, and it is not impossible to concurrently serve as the Yanzhou shepherd. The key is that Lu Bu will definitely return to Xuzhou. Therefore, Yanzhou must have people who handle affairs.

But Yanzhou officials also understood that their time to seek refuge with Lv Bu was short, and it was very likely that Lv Bu would dispatch officials from Xuzhou to serve as Yanzhou shepherds.

Lu Bu said: "Don't drive Chen Gong in Yanzhou. You have outstanding abilities. If you serve as the shepherd of Yanzhou, you will definitely be able to stabilize Yanzhou."

Many officials were astonished when they heard the words. It must be known that Chen Gong was a counselor under Cao Cao's command before. Promote Chen Gong.

Since Lv Bu entered Yanzhou, Chen Gong has been promoted one after another. This span is definitely huge.

"Since it is the person recommended by Marquis Wen, he must be able to do it. After returning to Chang'an, the envoy will definitely report this matter to the Holy Spirit." Li Su said.

On the way to Yanzhou, Li Su also had a certain understanding of the situation in Yanzhou. It was indeed beyond his expectations that Lu Bu dared to recommend Chen Gong as the shepherd of Yanzhou.

Not only the officials and Li Su in the field, but even Chen Gong was a little unbelievable, Zhou Mu, this is the position that many civil servants yearn for.

This is the greatest manifestation of Lu Bu's trust in him, which shows that he has entered the core of Lu Bu.

The reason why Lu Bu did not recommend the officials of Xuzhou to appoint Yanzhou Shepherd was also thoughtful. After all, he was serving in Yanzhou, and the effect would be better if he was appointed by a local official. What he needed was the loyalty of Chen Gong, and what Chen Gong needed If they are trusted, after the two join forces, Lu Bu doesn't have to worry about Chen Gong's betrayal.

Chen Gong is a capable official. The previous official position was not outstanding. It does not mean that Chen Gong is not capable of handling affairs. With Chen Gong's experience, he is responsible for the affairs of Yanzhou. He will definitely be able to stabilize Yanzhou. After the rule expands However, it is impossible for Lu Bu to be involved in everything.

After the officials in the arena left, Chen Gong was left behind.

The fact that Li Su was able to come to Yanzhou was definitely not to congratulate him on taking charge of Yanzhou. The relationship between him and Dong Zhuo was bitter and bitter. The betrayal not only caused Dong Zhuo to lose a strong general, but also lost a lot of food and supplies. Now these food and supplies have become Without Lu Bu's growing capital in Xuzhou, it would not be easy for anyone to put such a thing on.

Even though Dong Zhuo had a lot of anger and was beyond his reach, he could only let Lv Bu gain a foothold in Xuzhou, and even give Lv Bu help to contain the princes.

Facts have proved that Lu Bu's presence in Xuzhou has indeed attracted the attention of many princes. The princes condemned Lu Bu, which was expected by Li Ru, and Xuzhou was also facing the attack of Yanzhou Army and Qingzhou Army, which made the princes turn their attention to Xuzhou It is no longer that concerned about the situation of the court.
