The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

The news about the city keeps coming. Tao Qian's complexion is pale, and his original spirit is sluggish again. In Tao Qian's view, the plan to capture Pengcheng is foolproof. Even the brave Lu Bu is also an assassin. Afterwards, he was seriously injured. Who would have thought that under such circumstances, the Xuzhou army still drove Lei Bo out of Pengcheng.

"Incompetent, I usually call myself an elite, but when facing the Xuzhou army, I am so useless." Tao Qian scolded angrily.

"Inspector, now that General Lei Bo is withdrawing from Pengcheng, the turmoil in the city is the opportunity for us to leave Pengcheng. Otherwise, Lu Bu will be liquidated afterwards, and our family will suffer disaster." The Patriarch of the Chu family advised.

Tao Qian sighed, "I'm afraid it's too late to leave now."

Everyone in the arena heard the words, and all of them changed their expressions. They supported Tao Qian because they wanted to make their family go further. In fact, it would be good for them if Lu Bu ruled Xuzhou, but these families wanted to get further progress. Development, this is to support Tao Qian.

In the face of interests, many families cannot remain calm.

"Inspector, the restaurant is surrounded by soldiers from the army."

Tao Qian seemed to have expected this kind of result a long time ago, and lowered his head. Their actions in Pengcheng were like clowns, and they betrayed Lu Bu many times. More families.

"I heard that Tao Cishi is in this restaurant, do you think this Marquis is not good at hospitality?" Lu Bu opened the door and said loudly.

The plain words made the expressions of the people in the room change drastically, and many people even had their legs trembling slightly.

"Lu Bu?" Tao Qian frowned slightly.

Lv Bu laughed loudly and said, "Could it be that Governor Tao thinks that those small tricks can hurt the Marquis, what a joke!"

The hearts of the people in the house became even more uneasy. It turned out that all of this was under Lu Bu's control from the beginning to the end. It was just that Lu Bu created an illusion of success for them. The ridiculous thing is that they naively thought that they could succeed. success.

Tao Qian said: "Outsiders say that Marquis Wen is brave but not scheming, but now it seems that Marquis Wen has deceived the princes of the world."

"Hmph, you are so self-righteous. Ben Hou has resourceful people to help you. Do you really think that Ben Hou didn't notice your secret actions?" Lu Bu snorted coldly.

Tao Qian lowered his proud head, "Tao has lost."

The rest of the people were panicked when they heard the words. The two patriarchs even fell to their knees and begged endlessly. It took many years for the family to flourish. They didn't want to see the family ruined.

"I also want to thank Tao Cishi for finding so many people who secretly defy me." Lu Bu laughed wildly.

The people in the arena dared not speak out, although in front of Tao Qian, they were all filled with righteous indignation, and they would rush forward to fight Lu Bu desperately with a sword in their hands. When they came to the end of the road, they would still Feel a deep fear.

"The Chu family, the Zhao family, the Li family, the Qi family... yes, there are twelve families in total, and the combined power should not be underestimated. The Marquis heard that the city gates of Xuzhou were all under attack. , has something to do with you?" Lu Bu sneered.

The twelve patriarchs were all silent. At this time, no one would blame the two patriarchs who knelt down and begged for mercy. If the family can get out of this disaster, even if they die, they will not hesitate With their promise, the fate of the family is far more important to them than their own lives.

"Arrest all the people in the field, put them in prison, and wait for their punishment. As for Tao Cishi, after all, he is a well-known figure in the big man. If people know that Benhou put him in prison, there will be a lot of trouble. To accuse him, let's lock him up in his original residence for the time being," Lu Bu said.

"Here." The following soldiers said in unison.

Tao Qian's face was ashen. Lu Bu locked him in the place before, and he seemed to be polite. After this incident, Tao Qian's influence in Xuzhou was no longer what it used to be. Many families in Xuzhou died because of him. Disillusioned, if you want to cooperate with Tao Qian, the first thing you need to consider is the fate of the family.

There are many difficulties in the development of a family, but it is easy for the monarch to order their family to be destroyed.

In the past, Lu Bu did not dare to touch Xuzhou's family, and he would be cautious in doing things. It would not benefit Lu Bu at all if he and the family were in an endless situation, and would instead affect his subordinates. But the current situation It's different, the twelve families all have handles in the hands of Lu Bu, betraying the monarch, and putting them under the command of any prince is intolerable.

If this kind of situation cannot be stopped, it will make the princes of the world laugh.

"Take control of all the members of the twelve families. If there is any resistance, they will be killed." The deep and powerful voice was like a heavy hammer, beating the hearts of the family heads present.

Many Patriarchs understand that they have completely failed in this battle.

"Wenhou, I have listened to others' words, and I hope Wenhou will forgive me. In the future, the Li family is willing to work for Wenhou." The head of the Li family begged.

Lv Bu snorted coldly: "If this Marquis fails in this matter, even if this Marquis is begging you, will you stop?"

The Patriarch of the Li family remained silent. When they were on the road to betraying Lu Bu, they were already doomed to die.

The Twelve Families do have a lot of influence in Xuzhou, and many of the children of the family are officials in various places in Xuzhou. A joke, maybe they are already preparing to embezzle the assets of the twelve companies.

Chapter 235

The number of big families is scarce, but the resources they control are unimaginable for ordinary people. The decline of one family is often accompanied by the rise of other families.

If the princes want to govern the place, they cannot do without the family members. No matter how deadlocked the two sides are, the monarch will still appoint the family members.

The patriarchs of the twelve families lost their previous demeanor, and some patriarchs were even taken away by soldiers in the army.

The next day, when the sky was twilight, the city gradually became lively. The turmoil in Pengcheng last night caused a lot of pressure on the officials and some people in the city who didn't know.

It is very common for a city to change its owner in troubled times, but after the people get used to the current way of life, letting them change rashly will make the people feel unbearable.

War is cruel to the people.

On the top of the city, the banner with the word "Lu" still fluttered, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air. The corpses in the city were cleaned up, and some traces were still left behind.

On the street, there were groups of soldiers in solid clothes patrolling with serious expressions. There were still a lot of bloodstains on the armor of some soldiers. This kind of situation caused many people to rush out of the way when they saw Houou.

What happened last night quickly spread among the high-level officials in Xuzhou. Twelve families actually participated in the rebellion, and even colluded with Yuan Shu's army and assassins.

The move of the Pengcheng family this time can be described as crazy. Once it succeeds, it will bring about a change in the situation in Xuzhou. Lu Bu has no children. If Lu Bu is ill, what kind of turmoil will arise.

Killing Lu Bu, the plan was more than half successful, but they all underestimated Lu Bu's ability too much, and their careful planning included all those who participated in the rebellion.

Such a reality is miserable for the families involved in the rebellion.

The important figures in the twelve families were all imprisoned. Their resistance only brought about the killing of soldiers in the army.

The assets of the twelve families will be dispatched by the State Shepherd's Office to receive them.

These twelve families are not considered the most prominent families in Pengcheng. When their forces are united, even powerful families like the Mi family and the Chen family will have to weigh three points.

Not to mention how many assets they controlled openly and secretly. Now, all these things have fallen into the hands of Lu Bu. They worked hard to develop the power of the family and became the capital of Lu Bu's growth.

The changes in Pengcheng did not have much impact on the lives of the people. If they found soldiers acting suspiciously, they would even take the initiative to report the news.

In the state pastoral mansion, civil servants and military generals gathered together, and the atmosphere in the venue was a little dignified.

Especially the generals who experienced last night's battle, the blood on their bodies was not cleaned up, which will have a great impact on the civil servants.

However, at this time, civil officials dare not criticize the military generals because of this, Xuzhou is the world of military generals.

Lu Bu is an out-and-out general, offending a general means that there will be unpredictable consequences.

"Many people must have heard of what happened in Pengcheng last night. Twelve families including the Chu family and the Zhao family, allied with the army of Peiguo, wanted to cause chaos in Pengcheng. Pengcheng is free from turmoil." Lu Bu said in a deep voice, "These people are so bold that they even secretly collude with assassins to assassinate this lord. Such a crime cannot be tolerated."

"My lord, in the end, I will bring people to kill all the officials involved in this matter!" Yu Jin came out and said.

The generals in the army asked for orders one after another, and the atmosphere in the arena suddenly became full of killing intent.

Some officials who had contacts with these families before were panicked, for fear of being implicated in this matter.

In fact, many officials are aware of the actions of these families, and they maintain an indifferent attitude. If the actions of these families are successful, they can take refuge in the new monarch. If they fail, they will not be unlucky.

The key is what kind of attitude Lu Bu will have on this matter. If the general is angry, some things will not be considered as thoroughly as he thought.

All the officials in the arena turned their attention to Lu Bu. They knew that the decision on this matter was in Lu Bu's hands.

From the expressions of the officials present, Lu Bu felt worried and sad. In any case, many officials in the venue were also from families. They did not want to see too much turmoil in Xuzhou's officialdom, which would affect the survival of other families.

"Those who betrayed must not be relentless, and the twelve families who participated in the betrayal will never be tolerated." Lu Bu said slowly: "If not, wouldn't it make others think that I am easy to bully."

"My lord is wise." Xu Chu agreed.

The rest of the civil servants and military generals hastily echoed. At this time, if you have other thoughts in your heart, you must suppress them well. If it causes Lu Bu’s dissatisfaction, their family may also be unlucky. Today’s Lu Bu is in the In anger, this kind of thing would happen to any prince.

"All the assets of the twelve families have been put into the warehouse. I don't want such a thing to happen in Xuzhou in the future. You are officials under my rule. I will not treat you badly," Lu Bu said.

Officials say yes.

"My lord, Lei Bo, Yuan Shu's general, led the army to attack Pengcheng. Fortunately, the lieutenant soldiers saved Pengcheng from turmoil. My lord and Yuan Shu are allies. If the general under Yuan Shu's actions are like this, he should send someone to Shouchun to report to Yuan Shu. Ask for an explanation," Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu nodded and said: "Wen He's words are very true, I wonder who would like to go?"

None of the officials in the arena dared to step forward to agree. After Lei Bo's surprise attack on Pengcheng, the Xuzhou officials will definitely suffer a lot of embarrassment when they come under Yuan Shu's rule, and their lives may be in danger.

"I recommend someone from a humble position." Jia Xu said, "Zhang Gan, the son of Gongcao, has a good eloquence. If he goes to Shouchun, he will definitely be able to complete the task."

"Okay, in the words of Wenhe, order Zhang Qian to go to Shouchun on behalf of the Marquis." Lu Bu said.

At this time, the officials in Xuzhou were in panic. What they wanted was to stabilize Xuzhou from the turmoil this time.

After leaving the State Shepherd's Mansion, no officials whispered. They need to digest the impact of the turmoil in Pengcheng this time. Besides, what happened in Xuzhou is not good for the overall development of Xuzhou. Many officials can foresee it. , Once the plan of Tao Qian and others succeeds, what kind of disaster will it bring to Xuzhou.

Under the turmoil, it is not only the people who suffer losses, but also the family.

Some families who didn't know about it before, after this incident, didn't have the slightest affection for Tao Qian. Tao Qian's actions this time clearly wanted his own interests, regardless of the entire Xuzhou family.

Chapter 236

The actions of Tao Qian and others failed this time, in exchange for Lu Bu's purge of Xuzhou officials.

After this period of recruitment in the recruitment hall, there are many literati who have taken refuge in them. However, in this turmoil, how many officials will step down from their current positions, and they will be replaced by officials sent by Lu Bu.

The Xuzhou side acted very quickly. After the turmoil in Pengcheng, they immediately dispatched horses to inform the counties and counties, but all the officials from the twelve families were captured.

That's right, this is implicated. Officials from these families were taken away by soldiers in the army before they even realized it.

The rebellion of the Twelve Families had a considerable impact on Xuzhou, and the vacant positions were appointed by the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Regarding all of this, Xuzhou officials can only acquiesce, who made them make mistakes first, if it is put in the past, they will definitely stand up and say something when faced with the appointment of the State Shepherd's Mansion, and the experience of the officials will become They persuaded Lu Bu's important content.

The security in Pengcheng is stricter than before, and the merchants who enter and exit Pengcheng have obvious feelings, but after the strict defense in the city, there is no harm to the merchants, as long as they don't do things that violate the state pastoral government, they don't have to worry about other things.

There are quite a few businessmen who come to Pengcheng, and they gradually get to know Lu Bu to a certain extent, especially in terms of business, Lu Bu will give the businessmen who come here a relatively stable environment, and will not have such and such orders from the State Shepherd's Mansion .

This approach is very popular among businessmen.

After dealing with the affairs of the State Shepherd's Mansion, Lu Bu returned to his residence.

The defense in the mansion is strict. It can be seen that the incident of the assassin last night brought a lot of pressure to the soldiers guarding the state pastoral mansion. The soldiers protecting the state pastoral mansion are more of Lu Bu's personal guards. They are the most important members of the Xuzhou army Elite, but under their defense, assassins sneaked into the State Shepherd's Mansion, which is unforgivable to many soldiers.

After the incident, their hearts were full of guilt.

After Xiu'er was sent back to the State Shepherd's Mansion by Xu Chu, her pretty face turned pale, and her expression showed worry. She was not only because of the kidnapping that happened before, but also because of Lu Bu's safety. For him, Lu Bu rushed to the crown. Furious, she went into the enemy alone, which made her feel affection and at the same time worried about Lu Bu's safety.

After Yan Yu and Mi Zhen learned that Xiu'er had returned to the mansion, they came to persuade Xiu'er.

After such an incident happened in the State Shepherd's Mansion, Lu Bu still personally led people to find Xiu'er. Just this friendship is worth making them think deeply.

"Xiu'er." Seeing that the door was not closed, Lu Bu walked in directly.

Like a dancing butterfly, Xiu'er threw herself into Lu Bu's arms, "Brother, are you alright?"

After speaking, Xiu'er began to cry in Lu Bu's arms.

Lu Bu kept comforting Xiu'er. After all, Xiu'er was only a young girl. After experiencing such a thing, fear would inevitably arise in her heart, "Don't be afraid, Xiu'er, the bad guy has been caught now."

Seemingly realizing that her behavior was inappropriate, Xiu'er broke free from Lu Bu's warm and strong embrace, and said with a flushed face, "Thank you, brother, for saving my life."

"Brother Wei, you don't need to be so polite, but brother Wei didn't protect you well." Lu Bu asked, "Why did you leave the State Shepherd's Mansion yesterday?"

Only then did Xiu'er have time to explain the matter.

It turned out that Xiu'er got a letter, and the servant who delivered the letter claimed that Marquis Wen ordered someone to send it. Lu Bu had something to do in the outer city and asked her to go. Xiu'er did not doubt that he was there, so she went, not wanting to fall into the wrong hands. .

"Don't trust others in the future. What happened this time is too dangerous. If Xiu'er's life is in danger, I will feel guilty for my brother for the rest of my life." Lu Bu said.

Xiu'er's eyes were slightly red and she said, "It's about Xiu'er that worries Big Brother, so Xiu'er must pay attention."

"Have a good rest, don't take it to heart, these people are just a bunch of idiots," Lu Bu said.

Xiu'er nodded, and said with great effort: "Brother's clothes are already dirty, it's all because of Xiu'er, please send the clothes of Big Brother to Xiu'er's room, and Xiu'er will be responsible for cleaning."

Lu Bu glanced down at the clothes on his body, but he didn't refuse. After what happened last night, he didn't have time to change his clothes. There were bloodstains everywhere on his body, but they were all the blood of the enemy. Dressing like this, walking in the crowd is definitely the most attractive human existence.

Seeing Lu Bu's leaving figure, Xiu'er's expression was full of happiness. A man could risk his life and do such a thing for him, what extravagant wish did she have? One of them came to Xuzhou by coincidence and entered the State Shepherd's Mansion. With a big brother who considered her so much, she felt that her life was full of hope.

The shock in Xuzhou this time made Lu Bu take the opportunity to replace many officials. Even if some officials were dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it at this time. Who knows what kind of disaster their dissatisfaction will bring to the family.

The important figures of the twelve families were all beheaded for public display. Such a bloody side shocked the hearts of the people in the city.

When the State Shepherd's Mansion treated the people of Xuzhou, it didn't exploit so much, which made the people of Xuzhou feel good about it. Now they saw from this incident that the State Shepherd's Mansion was decisive in killing and killing those who betrayed them. Be merciless.

No one would complain for the dead at such a time. When they chose this path, they should have thought of such consequences.

There are more than [-] people in the twelve families, just important figures. Such a large-scale killing not only shocked Xuzhou officials, but also gave Lu Bu a reputation for being ruthless and bloodthirsty.

The rest of the princes are also more cautious when dealing with the families under their rule. It is conceivable what kind of turmoil will be brought about by killing so many members of the family at one time. The powerful families will not speak on Lu Bu's side , They even wished that Lu Bu's reputation would be even worse.

Lu Bu is the monarch of one party, so what can he do, he is not gentle enough when dealing with the family, and what he will get in return in the future will be the family's wariness.
