Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 190 Preparation
Seeing that Lu Bu hadn't spoken, Xu Si said, "Marquis Wen, no matter how low the price of our books is, those ordinary people won't buy them. We might as well set them higher, and our profits will be greater."

Lu Bu frowned, "Why don't people buy it?"

Xu Bang sighed, "Marquis Wen, most of the people are illiterate, what's the use of buying them?"

After hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly understood and nodded, "Dexian, you are right, I have forgotten this."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu paused, "Since that's the case, then follow what you said. The price should be higher, but it can't exceed the original books, otherwise we will have no advantage."

Seeing that Lu Bu adopted his opinion, Xu Si was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Obey!"

Lu Bu suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively, "Dexian, how's the printing going?"

Hearing the question, Xu Si slapped his forehead, "Oh, why did I forget!"

While talking, Xu Si picked up the booklet on the table and turned to the last page, "Wen Hou, look, this is done according to your method, how is the effect?"

Lu Bu took the booklet, and seeing the writing on it, his eyes lit up, "Okay, that's great."

Xu Si nodded and said with a smile, "I feel the same way. These characters are not only neat, but also much smaller. In this way, many more words can be written on a single page."

At this point, Xu Bang paused and pointed to the words on the booklet, "You can ask the craftsmen to make the mold smaller, so that more words can be written on this page."

Lu Bu looked at the words on the pamphlet, and nodded, "The font is unified, and it is indeed much better. This matter must be done as soon as possible, so that the pamphlet we publish can be sold everywhere as soon as possible."

Xu Si nodded, "Marquis Wen, since that's the case, I'll do it right away. It shouldn't be long before I can sell this kind of brochure."

Lu Bu thought for a while, "This booklet is too small, we can make it larger, so that there will be more content in the booklet, and it will be convenient to carry."

Xu Si hastily cupped his hands, "I will remember."

After speaking, Xu Si turned around and left in a hurry. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Jia Xu standing at the door, he was taken aback, and then said with a smile.

"Mr. Wenhe, what a coincidence, I almost met him!"

Jia Xu cupped his hands, "Mr. Dexian, you are too polite, please!"

Lu Bu heard Jia Xu's voice outside, his heart moved, and he said with a smile, "Wen He, you came in such a hurry, did you bring good news?"

Jia Xu walked into the room, cupped his hands at Lu Bu, and said with a smile, "Marquis Wen guessed right."

Lu Bu's eyes brightened, "Wenhe, can Xuzhou's plan be implemented?"

Jia Xu nodded, "After Cao Mengde defeated the Huainan army, he probably also felt that Liu Xuande was unreliable, so after repairing the army, he immediately came to attack Xiaopei.

Although Liu Xuande's strength is not as good as Cao Mengde's, he has a city wall to defend.

During this period of time, he was also guarding against Cao Mengde, so he had prepared sufficient materials for defending the city. For a while, the two of them were at a stalemate. "

Speaking of this, Jia Xu suddenly sneered, "However, Cao Mengde is indeed very cunning. When he attacked Xiaopei, he deliberately only attacked the north wall and not the south wall."

Lu Bu frowned, "Cao Mengde only attacked the northern city wall, isn't he afraid that Liu Xuande will run away?"

Jia Xu snorted coldly, "I'm afraid Cao Mengde is waiting for Liu Xuande to escape!"

Lv Bu was suddenly stunned, and said with a smile, "It seems that it is indeed difficult to attack the city. On the plain, Cao Mengde can easily wipe out Liu Xuande with the help of a large number of people."

Jia Xu nodded, "Yes, Cao Mengde had this idea, so he kept attacking the north of Xiaopei, just to make Liu Xuande escape quickly so that she could take advantage of the victory to pursue her."

Lu Bu asked with a smile, "Mr. Wenhe, do you want me to send troops to wipe out the two of them in one fell swoop when they are unprepared?"

Jia Xuyao ​​shook her head, "Marquis Wen, I want to say that if our army wants to attack, we have to wait until Liu Xuande escapes."

Lu Bu was stunned, "Do you also want me to defeat these two people on the plain?"

Jia Xu hastily waved his hands, "Marquis Wen, although Liu Xuande's troops are small, his strength is still not weak. If my prediction is correct, he will have nowhere to go after being defeated by Cao Mengde. I'm afraid he can only choose to join Marquis Wen."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu sneered, "Cao Mengde left Liu Xuande originally because he wanted him to guard the north gate of Xuzhou.

That being the case, why didn't Marquis Wen stay with Liu Xuande and go to destroy Cao Mengde together? Wouldn't it be more sure of that! "

Hearing this, Lu Bu understood Jia Xu's true intentions and couldn't help laughing.

"Wen He, I did not misjudge you!"

Lu Bu was still worried that it would be difficult to completely defeat Cao Mengde with his current strength.

But with Liu Xuande's help, it will be much easier.

What's more, in Yuzhou, Guo Gong still has more than 1 soldiers and horses that can be mobilized at any time. Although the strength of this army is not strong, it will definitely play a role at critical moments.

Jia Xu frowned, "Cao Mengde didn't know what I'm worried about now, so he immediately fled to Qingzhou along the east road. After he fled to Qingzhou, he was protected by Yuan Shao, and there was nothing we could do."

Hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help laughing, "Wen He, don't worry, Shi Yuan has already thought of this, so he has already gone to Langya County."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu explained Pang Tong's strategy of Langya County.

When Jia Xu heard these words, his eyes lit up, and there was a flash of approval in his eyes.

"Shi Yuan is really resourceful. It's really admirable to think of this in advance!"

Lu Bu waved his hand, "Wenhe, you are not bad, if you can take back Xuzhou this time, you will have the greatest contribution."

Jia Xu hastily cupped her hands, "I'm just following orders, and I can't say I deserve any credit."

……

Early the next morning, Lu Bu led 5000 soldiers and horses, took Zhao Yun and Jia Xu, and rushed towards Dingtao.

When Dingtao arrived, Wang Kai and Li Jin, who were guarding the city, had already greeted them out of the city.

"I will finally meet Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu waved his hands, turned to look at Wang Kai, and said with a smile, "Wen Xing, you seem to have lost a lot of weight!"

Wang Kai didn't expect that Lu Bu could still see this, he was a little moved, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Marquis Wen, for your concern."

Li Jin on the side said with a smile, "Since Wen Xing first came here, he has hardly had a good rest. The whole day of patrolling refugees has really exhausted him, and it is hard for him not to lose weight."

Wang Kai waved his hands hastily, "The banquet has been set up in the city, please invite Marquis Wen into the city!"

Lu Bu nodded, and followed the two into Dingtao.

At the banquet, everyone drank happily, and the atmosphere was harmonious and lively.

After drinking for three rounds, Lu Bu asked about the refugees.

"How is the refugee situation here at Wenxing?"

Wang Kai hurriedly handed over his hands and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that there would be so many refugees here. According to statistics, there are probably as many as 4 or [-] people."

"so much?"

Jia Xu, who was sitting next to Lu Bu, had been listening to everyone talking, but when he heard Wang Kai say the number of refugees, he couldn't help being surprised.

Wang Kai nodded, "Xuzhou is too chaotic these days, there are many refugees who came here from Xuzhou."

Lu Bu frowned, "With so many refugees here, has the food problem been solved?"

Wang Kai said with a wry smile, "I have prepared some grain from the local area, and sent some grain from Puyang to maintain it for the time being. Now I only look forward to the harvest."

Lu Bu nodded, "Tell everyone, hold on. If the food is not enough, tell Puyang immediately and send more food."

When Jia Xu heard the two talking, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively, "Marquis Wen, can I ask you a word?"

Lu Bu nodded, "Wenhe, please feel free to ask, as long as Benhou can answer you, I will tell you."

Jia Xu cupped his hands and asked tentatively, "Marquis Wen, the daily food consumption of these [-] to [-] refugees is not a small amount, is it?"

Lu Bu nodded, "That's right!"

Jia Xu took a deep breath and asked slowly, "Since Marquis Wen has so much food, why doesn't he recruit soldiers and horses to expand his strength?"

After Jia Xu's understanding for a period of time, he realized that Lu Bu's soldiers and horses were not that many, and he also knew that it was not that Lu Bu didn't want to recruit soldiers and horses, but that he had no food.

Although Jia Xu was very resourceful, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. If Lu Bu had food, why would he not recruit soldiers, but instead recruit those refugees and do these useless things?

Hearing these words, all the people present turned their heads to look at Lu Bu, especially Zhao Yun, who couldn't take their eyes off it. He also wanted to figure out this problem.

Lu Bu frowned slightly as everyone looked at him.

I'm afraid only he himself knows this question, but he can't say it out.

Since you can't say this reason, what should you say?

There must be a reason for doing such a thing that makes others feel useless!

But why?

Since there is no reason, then, there can only be one tall reason!
Thinking of this, Lu Bu turned his head to look at Jia Xu, and said slowly.

"Wenhe, in the Battle of Puyang, Cao Mengde has already gained the upper hand, and our army is about to be defeated.

And at that time, it was these refugees who helped Benhou defeat Cao Mengde, and this is how he is today.

From that day on, I vowed to treat these refugees well, let them have food to eat, clothing to wear, and no longer live a homeless life.

Although this goal is far away, this Marquis will never give up, no matter how difficult it is, he must persist. "

When everyone heard these words, they all bowed their hands together, "Wen Hou Renyi, I admire you."

Zhao Yun stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, if you don't dislike me, I am willing to follow you forever until you fulfill your wish."

"Congratulations to the host, Zhao Yun's loyalty has reached 100 points, and the reward points are 5000 points."

Uh!
Hearing the prompt from the system, Lu Bu was suddenly ecstatic. He didn't expect that this would work!

"Ha ha!"

Lu Bu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, raised the wine glass in front of him, and said loudly, "Zilong, I am very pleased to have your help!"

When everyone heard the words, they stood up one after another, cupped their hands and said, "The last general is also willing to follow Marquis Wen, and will never retreat."

Seeing everyone standing up to speak, Jia Xu also stood up hastily, "I'm willing too."

While saying this, Jia Xu only felt her heart beating wildly.

If Lu Bu really did this, and the refugees and people all over the world supported him, what would be the result?
Is there really such a day?
An inexplicable light shot out from Jia Xu's eyes, and her originally lazy mood suddenly became a little excited.

In the past, I misread Wen Hou!
The current Marquis Wen is the real Marquis Wen!
Lu Bu looked at everyone's admiring eyes, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"With the help of all of you, this Marquis, I believe that it won't take long for the refugees in the world to have food. Come, let's drink this cup..."

……

They stayed in Dingtao for a day, and then transferred 2000 soldiers and horses from Dingtao, and Lu Bu's 5000 people together, a total of 7000 people, and headed towards Xuzhou.

However, Lu Bu did not enter Xuzhou, but stopped not far from Xuzhou and ordered people to set up camp. At the same time, he sent a large number of spies to inquire about the situation in Xuzhou.

Seeing Jia Xu's calculations, he can't go to help, he has to wait until Liu Xuande escapes before he can make a move, and then go to attack Xuzhou.

After all, although Liu Xuande was driven to Xiaoji, he was indeed Xuzhou Mu in name.

After Liu Xuande is rescued, he can use his name to crusade against Xuzhou and drive away Cao Mengde.

As for driving Cao Mengde away, whether Liu Xuande would stay in Xuzhou and continue to be the governor of the state, Lu Bu never considered it, because as long as Xuzhou is recaptured, the emperor will definitely order Liu Bei to go to Xudu, and then withdraw his troops, so that He can just stay there obediently.

All plans have been prepared, just waiting for Liu Bei to escape from Xiaopei.

……

Xiaopei.

The bright moon was rising high, and the guards on the city wall were sitting on the ground, looking into the distance while talking in a low voice.

Cao Cao wanted Liu Bei to leave Xiaopei, so he only sent troops to attack during the day, and everyone rested at night to give Liu Bei time to escape.

Liu Beigao sat on the first seat, looked at the people in front of him, and sighed inwardly.

Zhang Fei jumped out and said loudly, "Brother, it's too hateful for Cao Mengde to attack the city again and again. Why don't you wait until tomorrow and let me take a team of soldiers and money to fight?"

Liu Bei didn't answer Zhang Fei's words, but looked at Jian Yong, and asked slowly, "Xianhe, do you have a good plan to defeat the enemy?"

Jian Yong shook his head with a wry smile, "Liu Shijun, Cao Mengde's strength is much stronger than our army, and it may be very difficult to retreat from the enemy."

Hearing this, Liu Bei felt a little disappointed, and turned to look at Sun Qian again.

"Gongyou, do you have a way to defeat the enemy?"

Sun Gan sighed, then shook his head, "Cao Mengde's army is overwhelming, and it is certain to win. It is really not easy to retreat!"

Mi Zhu suddenly said, "Liu Shijun, Xiaopei can't hold it any longer. I believe it won't take long. Why don't we withdraw our troops quickly?"

Jian Yong frowned, "Where can we withdraw our troops?"

Sun Qian said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid Cao Mengde is also waiting for us to retreat!"
