Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 153
Hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhao Yan had tears in his eyes, and sighed, "Ever since Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, he has confused the court, and now Dong Zhuo's execution is the time to revive the court, how can we not do it."

Lu Bu said lightly, "So, we must spend a lot of money to repair the dilapidated Luoyang?"

Zhao Yan raised his head and looked in the direction of Luoyang, and said loudly, "Your Majesty regained control of the imperial court, and you can live in a dilapidated place. Therefore, not only must repair, but also the best repair, in order to reflect the majesty of the royal family."

Lu Bu turned around and bowed his hands to Liu Xie, and said slowly, "Your Majesty has great plans and ambitions, which is really gratifying, but it's a pity that what I have mastered is only a small part of Yanzhou. If I want to repair Luoyang, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." .”

Speaking of this, Lu Bu turned his head to look at Zhao Yan, and said with a smile, "Since Zhao Yilang is interested, then you should find a way to raise money?"

Zhao Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Although General Lu only controls a part of Yanzhou, as long as the tax is raised, this problem should be solved."

Lu Bu frowned, "Zhao Yilang, don't you know that there was a disaster in Yanzhou just now, and everyone was starved of food. Do you think it's appropriate to raise taxes?"

Yueqi School Lieutenant Zhong Ji hurried forward and said with a smile, "General Lu, Your Majesty knows that you are loyal to the army and love the people, but at this moment, His Majesty is eager to return to Luoyang. Do you have the heart to see His Majesty living in a dilapidated palace?"

Having said this, Zhong Ji paused, and then said, "If General Lu can't bear it, why don't you send someone from the court to take charge of Yanzhou and collect taxes? What do you think?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu was furious, he finally got Yanzhou, and this guy in front of him wants to take it for nothing, it is really hateful.

And he also saw that these people in front of him were unreasonable!

Thinking of this, Lu Bu said slowly, "If everyone agrees to go back to Luoyang, Benhou will naturally not object, but if you want to repair Luoyang, I can't do it, so I bid farewell, you are willing to go back, Benhou I won't stop you either."

After speaking, Lu Bu didn't bother to talk to these people, and directly led everyone to escort Han Xian and left the hall.

Zhao Yan was furious immediately, "General Lu, Your Majesty didn't say anything, so do you want to leave?"

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Zhao Yan, and frowned, "Zhao Yilang, in your opinion, what should I do to be correct?"

Zhao Yan gritted his teeth and said, "General Lu, if you want to return to Luoyang underground, you must send someone to repair the palace and then escort His Majesty back. As for your unreasonableness, please quickly ask Your Majesty for forgiveness."

Lu Bu suddenly sneered, "Zhao Yilang, what if the Marquis doesn't agree?"

"you?"

Zhao Yan's complexion changed, "General Lu, if you don't agree, then you are deceiving the emperor and rebelling against the law."

Lu Bu nodded, turned around and cupped his hands towards Liu Xie, and said slowly, "Your Majesty has such a loyal minister by his side, so this Marquis is relieved."

At this point, Lu Bu handed over his hand again, "From today on, Your Majesty can live in many palaces, but for food, clothing, housing and transportation, I still ask Your Majesty's ministers to deal with it themselves. There is nothing I can do."

After speaking, Lu Bu turned around and left without waiting for Liu Xie's answer.

Zhao Yan looked at Lu Bu's leaving back, and hurriedly turned around and bowed to Liu Xie, "Your Majesty, General Lu is so rebellious that he dared to violate the holy will. Please issue an order to severely punish him."

Liu Xie snorted coldly, looked up at the direction where Lu Bu disappeared, his eyes were full of anger, his fists were gradually clenched, and his heart kept roaring.

"Hateful, how dare you treat me like this, I will never forgive you lightly."

Yang Biao frowned, looking hesitant to speak, and after a long time, he sighed in his heart, lowered his head and stopped talking.

……

Lu Bu returned to the barracks in anger, and immediately asked Han Xian to be brought.

As soon as Han Xian came in, seeing Lu Bu, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, "Thank you, Marquis Wen, for saving your life. I am very grateful."

Lu Bu waved his hand impatiently, "Take back your gratitude, I don't need it."

Cheng Lian stepped forward and kicked Han Siam, and said loudly, "Han Siam, hurry up and tell me where you hide your money, don't be wordy."

Han Xian trembled in fright, and said hastily, "Wen Hou, if you tell me, can you really spare your life?"

Han Xian has seen a lot of people who betray their promises and don't count their words. He is worried that he will not get his life back if he takes out his belongings.

Lu Bu went to court today, and what happened made him feel uncomfortable, and he was not angry at the moment, so he snorted coldly.

"Han Xian, this Marquis has already given you a chance, if you talk nonsense, don't blame this Marquis for being ruthless."

Hearing this, Han Xian was ecstatic in his heart, and said hastily, "Marquis Wen, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."

Lu Bu waved his hand and turned to look at Xu Bang, "Dexian, wait a minute, take Han Xian to take out the belongings, and then directly calculate how to distribute them."

Xu Si hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Marquis Wen, is it not appropriate to do this without the emperor's permission?"

Lu Bu frowned, and suddenly sneered, "Didn't you see that there are so many people in the court hall who have already regarded the money as their own. If they don't distribute it, they will miss it."

Xu Si smiled wryly and said, "But it doesn't feel right to do this?"

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "This time when I come here, I will not only distribute the money, but also stop all the food and property provided by the ministers, allowing them to find their own solutions."

Seeing that Lu Bu insisted on this, Xu Si cupped his hands and left with Han Xian.

He knew very well that his current status was not given by the emperor, but by Marquis Wen.

In addition, he was also a little dissatisfied with what happened in the court today. Xu Du was surrounded by refugees. These ministers did not care about relief, but wanted to spend huge sums of money to repair the Luoyang Palace, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Therefore, Xu Si finally decided to follow Wen Hou's words and send the money, at least to let the people have enough to eat. As for those people in the court who are dissatisfied, what are they afraid of?

Chen Gong watched Xu Si leave, and suddenly laughed, "Marquis Wen, this time, there will be a good show."

Hearing these words, Lu Bu knew what he meant and nodded, "Let's see if they can last for a few days."

On this day, Lv Bu was extremely depressed, and had been living smoothly in Yanzhou. Unexpectedly, he was criticized by so many people in the court.

If it was before, he would get angry on the spot, kill Zhao Yan first, and see who dares to talk nonsense.

It's just that Lu Bu can't do that now, because, after all, the world is a big man now, once he does that, his reputation will definitely be damaged.

If it is reported that Lu Bu disrespected the emperor, killed the ministers, and confused the court, I believe the people will be dissatisfied.

Once these people and refugees are instigated by bad guys, this matter is likely to be magnified, causing Lu Bu to lose more points.

What's more, dealing with those people in the court is just a trivial matter. As long as their rations are cut off, he will have no strength to speak. When the time comes, let's see who can persist.

Lu Bu has already made up his mind that from today on, he will no longer provide these people with food and clothing. If they are willing to leave, Lu Bu will not stop them, because he also knows that the emperor has nowhere to go now.

Moreover, Lu Bu gave the emperor enough freedom. If he went to other places, he might not even have this freedom.

……

Snapped!
Liu Xie returned to the harem, furious, grabbed a cup and threw it on the ground fiercely, roaring.

"Hateful, I didn't expect Lu Fengxian to be so hateful."

Empress Fu, who had been waiting for news, was taken aback when she saw Liu Xie like this, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that Lu Fengxian disrespected His Majesty?"

Liu Xie was about to speak angrily when a voice came from outside the door.

"Yang Taiwei and others are asking to see you."

Liu Xie waved his hand and said, "Let them come in."

Not long after, Yang Biao and others walked in from the door in a panic.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Liu Xie waved his hand impatiently, "My dear friends, Lu Fengxian is so arrogant, can you countermeasure?"

Yang Biao smiled wryly, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about that matter, when I came in from outside the palace, I found that there were a lot fewer guards guarding the palace.

Moreover, the general guarding the palace also said that if His Majesty wants, he can choose someone to guard the palace, and they will withdraw. "

"what?"

Hearing this news, Liu Xie was taken aback, and then overjoyed, "Really, are they really willing to withdraw?"

Yang Biao nodded, "Indeed, if His Majesty wishes, they can withdraw tonight."

Zhao Yan suddenly sneered, "Maybe, this is another trick by Lu Fengxian."

Liu Xie was not surprised but happy, and said with a smile, "That's great, as soon as they leave, I will immediately recruit soldiers and horses to guard the palace."

In the past, the people who guarded the palace were troops sent by Lu Bu, but they were banned by Han Siam soldiers and horses, completely controlling the access to and from the palace.

At that time, Liu Xie only felt like a bird in a cage, without any freedom. Now, he suddenly felt the breath of freedom.

How long!
From Dong Zhuo until just now, he has been living under the surveillance of others, without any freedom at all.

Now it is finally healed, no one is watching, and I am a free person.

At that time, I can recruit soldiers and horses, train elite soldiers, and then revive the Han Dynasty and restore the prestige of the Han Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie became very excited and said loudly, "Since they are willing to withdraw their troops, let them withdraw immediately."

Seeing this, Yang Biao hurriedly spoke out to stop him, "Your Majesty, absolutely not."

Liu Xie frowned, turned to look at Yang Biao, and asked displeasedly, "Taiwei Yang, do you still want them to monitor me?"

Yang Biao hurriedly waved his hands, "Your Majesty, I don't mean that."

Liu Xie asked coldly, "Then what do you mean by blocking me?"

Yang Biao said with a wry smile, "Your Majesty, if the guards of the palace are removed, what will happen to the safety of the palace?"

"This?"

Liu Xie suddenly thought of this and couldn't help but froze.

Dong Cheng suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you can withdraw, it is better to let the soldiers and horses of the last general guard the palace to ensure the safety of Your Majesty."

Liu Xie nodded, "Okay, tell them now, let them evacuate immediately, I want to control the safety of the palace by myself."

Dong Cheng hastily cupped his hands, "The last general will do it."

After speaking, Dong Cheng turned and left.

Liu Xie said with a smile, "Everyone, I want to recruit a group of soldiers and horses. Let's discuss how to proceed?"

Zhao Yan was the first to jump out and said loudly, "I support you. As long as we have our own troops, Lu Feng is nothing to worry about."

Zhu Jun suddenly said, "Your Majesty, where do soldiers, food and money come from?"

Now the imperial court is so poor that they can't even afford to eat, and they still want to recruit soldiers and horses. How can they support them?

"This?"

Liu Xie was taken aback again, "Zhu Aiqing, can you do something?"

Zhu Jun smiled wryly and shook his head, "No."

Zhao Yan suddenly sneered, "Lu Fengxian is His Majesty's courtier, so of course he is required to pay for the recruiting money and rations. Could it be possible for His Majesty to make the preparations himself?"

Zhong Ji nodded, "Yes, there are also state pastors from all parties. They need to send letters to ask them to pay tribute of food and property, so that they can have enough property and food to recruit soldiers."

Liu Xie nodded, "Alright, you go and send an edict to Lu Fengxian, asking him to pay tribute of food and property."

……

Just when Liu Xie and others were rejoicing, Lu Bu sat in the barracks, frowning slightly, feeling a little impatient.

"I found Zhao Yun, a famous historical general. If you can subdue him, you will be rewarded with [-] support points."

When I met the Zhao Yun brothers and sisters, the system had already prompted, so Lu Bu wanted to recruit him, but unfortunately, Zhao Yun did not agree.

Zhao Yun is not his captive, nor his subordinates. He cannot be forced or forced to stay, otherwise, if it gets out, it will be bad for his reputation.

Now Lu Bu cherishes his reputation very much, because he knows that reputation is even more important than his martial arts.

His unparalleled martial arts will only make people fearful, but his reputation can make those refugees follow him willingly.

Zhao Yunneng is worth [-] points, which is better than almost all of Lu Bu's subordinates, so when Zhao Yun's brothers and sisters left, Lu Bu asked Wei Yue to lead a team of soldiers and horses to follow secretly, looking for opportunities.

Up to now, Wei Yue sent someone back to report that Zhao Yun had left Xiaopei and was heading towards Xiapi.

Lu Bu didn't know what Zhao Yun was doing in Xuzhou, but he was worried that he would be subdued by others, and he lost [-] points.

Lu Bu really wanted to go to Xuzhou in person, but unfortunately, he was too busy.

The matter on Xudu's side is very important, Cao Mengde has to deal with it as soon as possible, and Jizhou, which Lu Bu is most worried about, also has to guard against.

Now, Lu Bu finally realized that there are really too few people under his command.

Although there are Xu Si, Chen Gong and others, but there are too many things, everyone is busy and messy, but there are still many things to deal with.

Just when Lu Bu was frowning, Wei Xu walked in from the door and bowed his hands in salute.

"I will finally meet Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu nodded, "Have the people from the palace withdrawn?"

Wei Xu cupped his hands again, "Marquis Wen, after we withdraw, the troops brought by Dong Cheng will guard the palace."

Speaking of this, Wei Xu's eyes flashed a trace of unwillingness, "Wen Hou, if we don't evacuate, we can control the court like Grand Master Dong did back then, wouldn't it be better?"

Lu Bu shook his head, and said slowly, "What's so good about controlling the court? Have you forgotten that there are still so many people in the court preparing to eat?"
