The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

But would Lu Bu care about these things? What kind of attitude did the Xuzhou family treat Lu Bu? Their way of doing things would not dare to be used by other princes when they governed Xuzhou.

Caring too much about the reactions of these families to these things will lead to inferiority, and even be manipulated by Xuzhou officials to let them have a perception that Xuzhou can still function normally after they leave them.

The large-scale changes in Xuzhou's officialdom have made Xuzhou officials feel uneasy.

......

Chapter 237 Yuan Shu Angry

Qin Lin desperately led the assassins of the Black Clothes Pavilion to break out of the siege. As long as they left the vicinity of the inn, it would be extremely difficult for the soldiers in the city to find them with the hidden methods of the Black Clothes Pavilion Assassins.

The assassins in the Black Clothes Pavilion had good agility, but there were no weak opponents who chased them this time, whether it was the Momen or the swordsmen under Wang Yue's command, there was no shortage of masters.

After being safe, Qin Lin's complexion turned slightly pale. In the restaurant, he even felt the threat of death. Lu Zhi may not be as good as him in martial arts, but he also has unique features that can restrain his attack. It's not easy anymore.

Moreover, the most indispensable thing among the people of Momen is masters, and with the arrival of Lu Bu and Wang Yue, once they form a siege, no matter how capable Qin Lin is, if he wants to escape from the restaurant, he will have no choice. extremely difficult.

"Commander, what should we do?"

Qin Lin pondered for a moment and said: "Pengcheng is a place of right and wrong, so don't stay for long, leave as soon as possible."

Of the hundred elite assassins who followed, there are now less than ten of them left. Such a loss has never been seen since the establishment of the Black Clothes Pavilion. The assassination is sure to happen, but there is a mistake. The Yuan Shu army who entered the city, not only Instead of success, he suffered heavy losses. All of this made Qin Lina see that Lu Bu was not as simple as people imagined.

Qin Lin dared to affirm that before the turmoil in Pengcheng this time, Lu Bu must have been prepared, and it was a plan that included all the families in Pengcheng.

"Lu Bu is terrible." The thought appeared in Qin Lin's mind.

"Commander, so many masters were lost in Pengcheng, this revenge must be avenged." Qin San gritted his teeth.

Qin Lin nodded and said: "Don't worry, the power of the Black Clothes Pavilion cannot be provoked by a single Lu Bu. After this incident fails, Lu Bu will definitely have many precautions. When the opportunity is ripe in the future, it will be the day of Lu Bu's burial. "

"Commander, Qin Jiu captured Lu Bu alive."

"It's okay, Qin Jiu is loyal. Do you still need to worry about his betrayal? When the time is right, the commander will rescue him." Qin Lin said.

Qin San nodded, the assassins who followed Qin Lin had suffered heavy losses, now Qin Yi and Qin Er were all dead.

"Lu Bu, Heiyi Pavilion, Wang Yue, this commander will come back in the future, and it will be time for you to pay a heavy price." Qin Lin murmured.

No matter how powerful the enemy is, as a skilled swordsman, what you need to do is to have absolute confidence in yourself. If you can't even do this, you will feel fearful when facing the enemy.

Fear is the most terrifying thing for a swordsman. What a swordsman pays attention to is an indomitable momentum. No matter what kind of master he faces, he has absolute confidence to win.

The news about this change in Pengcheng quickly spread throughout the princes.

Pengcheng has attracted a lot of attention from the princes, especially after Lu Bu came to Xuzhou, making Pengcheng the focus. There are so many businessmen who came here. The most important thing is that the Xuzhou army has the strength to be victorious in all battles. The armies of the princes won victory after victory.

The princes have to pay attention to this ancient city. In the past, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, made great achievements in Pengcheng, commanded the princes of the world, and became famous all over the world. Now Lu Bu, in the eyes of the princes, has the courage of Xiang Yu and also occupies the land of Pengcheng. It can be expected that Lu Bu intends to use Pengcheng as the foundation to compete with other princes. As for what kind of situation Lu Bu will go to, the princes nowadays are indeed unpredictable. Not good.

Without a strong family to rely on, Lu Bu, who was born as a military general, would have endured much ostracism after he took over Xuzhou, but Lu Bu succeeded.

In Shouchun, Yuan Shu angrily overturned the table case. Lei Bo's action this time must have been approved by him. He assassinated Lu Bu, captured Pengcheng, and sent troops. The whole Xuzhou will be his, even Yanzhou can't exception.

After the previous incidents, Yuan Shu felt that Lu Bu was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, and it was too difficult to control Lu Bu. In this case, why couldn't he just eradicate Lu Bu? Such a person remained in Xuzhou , Sooner or later he will become his rival.

Especially after Yuan Shao's envoy appeared in Xuzhou, Yuan Shu felt the crisis was approaching.

Who is Yuan Shao? He was the leader of the princes and alliances in the past. Who can compare his prestige among Huhou? The relationship between allies shows that Lu Bufei is a simple-minded and impulsive general who has interests. It is very possible for him to form an alliance with Yuan Shao.

In fact, Lu Bu's choice in Xuzhou has a lot to do with Yuan Shu's actions on the Yanzhou battlefield. Originally, the relationship between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu was good, but it became stalemate because of the city.

In the end, Yuan Shu still failed to get the city of Yanzhou from Lu Bu, and instead made Lu Bu feel dissatisfied with him. Just from this point of view, Yuan Shu's performance on the Yanzhou battlefield was indeed a failure.

However, Yuan Shu didn't think so. When Lv Bu was in the most difficult time, Yuan Shu gave Lv Bu a righteous support. What kind of friendship is this? Shouldn't Lv Bu express it?

The counselors under Yuan Shu's tent also felt Lu Bu's ambition. If Lu Bu was allowed to develop in Xuzhou and Yanzhou like this, it would become a serious problem, and if it was not eradicated, it would affect the stability of the region.

The counselor's analysis made Yuan Shu even more hostile to Lu Bu. After capturing Xuzhou and Yanzhou, his strength will be further improved. Once the order is issued, no one in the world dares to disobey it.

"My lord, the envoy from Xuzhou has arrived outside the city." Chang Shi Yang Hong said.

Yuan Shu snorted coldly: "A mere envoy from Xuzhou, what's the point of worrying about it? Could it be that the Marquis should send someone to meet him?"

"My lord treats people with courtesy, and the literati will compete to praise the lord. There is a grudge between the lord and Lu Bu. It is the luck of the literati in the world to be able to do this." Yang Hongdao.

Yuan Shu smiled when he heard the words, and flattered people with different realms. Just like when Yang Hong said flattery, it didn't give people a very obvious feeling, but it made people feel comfortable.

"Chang Shi's words are also reasonable, let Chang Shi send someone to take charge of this matter." Yuan Shu said.

"Impossible to take orders."

Yuan Shu asked suspiciously, "Why did Lu Bu send envoys to Shouchun while he was waiting here?"

Chapter 238 Xuzhou Messenger

"My humble guess is that because of the turmoil in Xuzhou this time, there was a betrayal in Pengcheng, and General Lei Bo led an army to raid Pengcheng. Lu Bu will definitely ask for an explanation."

"Ask for an explanation? This Marquis has no explanation here." Yuan Shu said disdainfully.

Yang Hongdao: "My lord, this subordinate believes that at this moment, we should not offend Marquis Wen too much."

"Marquis Wen occupies most of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and is also a famous existence among the princes of the world. The cavalry under his command is even more invincible on the battlefield. When fighting with such princes, you need to be more cautious."

"Furthermore, Yuan Shao sent Xu You as an envoy to Pengcheng. He obviously attaches great importance to Lu Bu. If Yuan Shao is allowed to go first and win over Lu Bu, and a war breaks out in Jizhou, will Marquis Wen agree to help us send troops?"

Yang Hong's words made Yuan Shu think deeply.

"But Lu Bu is an ambitious man, if he is allowed to stay in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, it will have a great impact on this Marquis." Yuan Shu said.

Yang Hongdao: "My lord, you don't need to worry about this matter. The most important thing right now is to improve the strength of the lieutenants and soldiers, so that the army can win when they face the Xuzhou army. In Marquis Wen's hands, he has the forging method of hundreds of weapons. Since Marquis Wen can provide so many hundred-refined weapons, it can be said that the artisans under Lu Bu have mastered the forging methods of such sharp weapons."

Yuan Shu nodded with a serious expression. The strength of Lu Bu's army is too terrifying, especially the blessing of the hundred-refined weapon, which makes them like demons on the battlefield. When fighting such an enemy, they need to be more cautious, otherwise If so, it might be a death situation.

What happened on the Yanzhou battlefield has already demonstrated the powerful combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army. If you want to win the confrontation with Lu Bu, you must make improvements in this area.

"Purchase hundreds of refined weapons from Lu Bu as much as possible, train elite cavalry, and confront Lu Bu in the future, so as to teach Lu Bu a painful lesson." Yuan Shu said in a deep voice.

"My lord is wise." Yang Hong cupped his hands. The reason for his persuasion was to let Yuan Shu temporarily suppress his thoughts and offend Lu Bu too much. At this time, it was indeed not a wise move.

Yuan Shu's dispatch of Lei Bo to lead the army to raid Pengcheng was also carefully considered by his advisers. The possibility of success in this matter is very high, and after the success, it is of great significance to be able to drive Lu Bu out of Xuzhou.

However, the cruel facts proved that they had indeed underestimated Lu Bu. Although Xuzhou's rebellion brought a lot of turmoil to Pengcheng, it was not because of Lu Bu's plan.

After this incident, it will be more difficult for other princes to instigate the officials of Xuzhou. The family members are all shrewd. When they see no hope, they will not make decisions easily. .

Zhang Qian, the son of Xuzhou's meritorious Cao Cao, when the Zhang family was in crisis, it was Lu Bu who extended a helping hand and made the Zhang family come out of danger. Such a thing may be a word to Lu Bu, but it changed the Zhang family. Due to his fate, even he became an official of the State Shepherd's Mansion.

Zhang Qian performed outstandingly in being in charge of the recruiting hall, recruited many talents for Lu Bu, and got a new appointment.

Coming to Shouchun as Lu Bu's envoy is a challenge to Zhang Gan.

Facing the censure of the Yangzhou officials and the so-called disarming authority, Zhang Gan behaved calmly, which made the officials under Yuan Shu's account look at him, and he became more cautious when dealing with Zhang Gan, making the envoy smoother.

At present, Yuan Shu is asking for Lu Bu. He wants to buy more hundred-refined weapons to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the army. Thousands of hundred-refined weapons may sound like a lot, but it is not the case. Yuan Shu's army has increased to one hundred thousand. With such a large number of troops, it is far from enough to have thousands of weapons.

Training an elite team that can compete with the most elite team under Lu Bu's command is Yuan Shu's goal.

The battle with Lu Bu made Yuan Shu realize the role that an elite team can play on the battlefield.

The changes in Xuzhou also gave Yuan Shao an opportunity. At present, Jizhou is not stable, with Black Mountain Yellow Turban inside and Youzhou Gongsun Zan outside, and a new war may break out at any time. The war will be of great help.

Yuan Shu's actions made Yuan Shao's advisers very happy. If Yuan Shu continued to maintain the alliance with Lv Bu, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, and Lv Bu would form an alliance, which would very likely drive Yuan Shao out of Jizhou.

Now that there is a conflict between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, it is a very good thing, as long as we make better use of this, we can win Lu Bu over from Yuan Shu's camp.

The current situation in the world really worried Yuan Shao. He was the leader of the princes in the past, but he had very little influence in commanding the princes. Although the crusade against Dong Zhuo's alliance army was a success, it was not a huge failure.

Dong Zhuo moved the capital, and the prestige accumulated by the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years gradually lost. , can be seen.

These are not what Yuan Shao cares about the most. What he urgently needs is to improve his own strength. As the leader of the princes and alliance, how could he not have the corresponding strength when the princes attack.

And Yuan Shu is the most unfavorable factor affecting Yuan Shao's development. First, he has Sun Jian, then Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu. Now is the best time to win Lu Bu over from Yuan Shu's camp.

On this occasion, Lu Bu occupied most of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and Yuan Shu ruled Yangzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou counties, of which Jiangdong was in charge of the Sun family. As long as Yuan Shu gave an order, he could mobilize Jiangdong's army, which was superior to Lu Bu in terms of strength. .

Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, and Qingzhou was in chaos. Gongsun Zan was an ambitious man. After falling out with Yuan Shao, he directly appointed officials under his command as Jizhou Mu and Qingzhou Mu. In fact, Gongsun Zan was just the prefect of Youbeiping.

As the prefect of a county, he was able to reach his current position, which is enough to see that Gongsun Zan is extraordinary. In fact, in Youzhou, there are many officials who support Gongsun Zan.

In Youzhou, the situation is complicated. Not only are the Xianbei people living in the border county, but also the Wuhuan people live. It is common for wars to break out. Liu Yu adopts gentle methods to appease these aliens as much as possible, so that they can feel the strength of the big Han. kindness.

But Gongsun Zan used tyrannical means to make these aliens pay the price. The Wuhuan people and Xianbei people all knew the prestige of General White Horse.

Chapter 239 Zhang Zhao

The two have different attitudes towards alien races, and Gongsun Zan has a high voice in Youzhou by virtue of his achievements over the years. The strength of the battle.

Dong Zhuo occupies the land of Sanfu, with the support of the Qiang people in Liangzhou, coupled with the strong barriers around Chang'an, it is not easy to break Dong Zhuo.

Liu Yan occupies Yizhou, and he has a lot of thoughts of being the emperor of Yizhou. Liu Biao is a tiger occupying the land of Jingxiang, and he has [-] armored men under his command. Prestige has been enhanced to a greater extent.

Judging from the current situation in the world, Lu Bu is still good, at least when he has Yuan Shao as an ally, once he starts a war with Yuan Shu, he only needs to deal with the war with all his strength.

But is this really the case?

If Yuan Shu united with Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan, this level of strength would be enough to sweep the world.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou was quite supportive of Yuan Shao, but he didn't want to participate too much in the battle, which made Yuan Shu so unscrupulous in Yangzhou and Yuzhou.

There is a rift between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, and it will be Yuan Shao who will benefit the most.

After the Pengcheng Rebellion happened, the official circles in Xuzhou were not calm. The State Shepherd’s Mansion successively appointed several humble scholars. These humble scholars did not have prominent family backgrounds, but they still had vision and talent. What they lacked was Experience in officialdom.

And some weak families were also supported by Lu Bu, and the outstanding children of their families were appointed by Lu Bu.

For the small family, this is definitely something to be excited about. More talents in the family enter the officialdom, which means that their family can develop. Lu Bu is using this method to affect the structure of Xuzhou Let the Xuzhou officials see that after offending him, even if the family background is strong, they have to weigh it.

In terms of a strong family background, the Chen family is the most important. Currently, the Chen family still has a prominent position in Xuzhou, but in the past turbulent events in Xuzhou, there was no Chen family.

It can be said that the Chen family has also made a lot of contributions to the development of Xuzhou.

Envoys from various princes came to Xuzhou one after another. The changes in the situation made them dare not despise Lu Bu who occupied Xuzhou. Once this powerful person in charge of Xuzhou took action, what kind of turmoil would be caused in the world.

Since Lu Bu took charge of Xuzhou, the Xuzhou army has been accompanying him in battles. In fact, the fighting power displayed by the Xuzhou army has made the princes dare not underestimate it.

When Lu Bu's foothold was not stable, the attacks of the Yanzhou Army and the Qingzhou Army could not pose a fundamental threat to Lu Bu, let alone now.

Being friends with Lv Bu gives me a lot of peace of mind, especially after buying a hundred-refined weapon from Lv Bu and equipping it in the army, it will greatly help the strength of the army. All the princes want to have a real elite that can fight on the battlefield Sweeping the enemy army and making the enemy army fearful, it makes people feel happy to think about it.

Hundreds of refining weapons have hoarded a large amount of supplies for Xuzhou and Yanzhou.

Time flies, and it is the fourth year of Chuping in a blink of an eye.

The third year of Chuping was a year of development and growth for Lu Bu. It was of great significance to stabilize Xuzhou, drive Cao Cao out of Yanzhou based on Xuzhou, and seize the rest of Yanzhou except Chenliu County and Jiyin County.

The strength of Xuzhou's army also allowed Lu Bu to gain a foothold among the princes. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao sent envoys to Xuzhou to see this.

Of course, there must be many literati who scolded Lu Bu in secret. In terms of reputation, Lu Bu is very bad, but Lu Bu has power in his hands.

Faced with the abuse of scholars, have you ever seen Lu Bu stand up and refute?

Lu Bu is a general, he will use practical actions to make those who curse slowly shut up.

The most obvious impact of fame on Lu Bu is that the truly talented children of aristocratic families are unwilling to come to Xuzhou to serve Lu Bu. The number of talents will play a key role in troubled times, especially as the territory grows After that, if there are not enough talents to help, it will be difficult to let the governance stabilize and develop.

In terms of internal affairs, among Xuzhou officials, Lu Bu admired Zhang Zhao and Chen Deng the most. Chen Deng was easy to say, he served as the prefect of Guangling, managed Guangling in an orderly manner, and formed a naval army of thousands of people. Not many, enough to show that Lu Bu attached great importance to Chen Deng's suggestions.

The main thing is how to completely subdue Zhang Zhao.

The Zhang family has considerable influence in Xuzhou, and Zhang Zhao is a well-known person in Xuzhou. Otherwise, when Tao Qian was in charge of Xuzhou, he would not have recruited Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao refused Tao Qian, perhaps because he didn't want to serve under Tao Qian's command, and in Tao Qian's view, it was a contempt for him, which is why Tao Qian put Zhang Zhao under house arrest.

Zhang Zhao's weakness was the Zhang family, and Lu Bu used the Zhang family as a threat back then, forcing Zhang Zhao to submit.

However, Zhang Zhao worked in the State Shepherd's Mansion, and his performance was quite satisfactory, there was nothing outstanding, and no one could find the slightest excuse. It was clear that he was just dawdling in the State Shepherd's Mansion.

"Wenhe, now that the Marquis' territory is getting bigger and bigger, what is needed is talents who can govern the region." Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu nodded knowingly. He also understands Lu Bu's difficulties. Not to mention others, even Xuzhou officials are not sure whether they are sincere, but Lu Bu has to appoint more descendants from aristocratic families. There is a vacancy.
