Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 202 The Refugees
Lu Bu looked up at Jia Xu, frowned and asked, "Wen He, in your opinion, how should we deal with the Xuzhou family?"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and then said slowly, "Marquis Wen, Yuan Benchu ​​of Jizhou values ​​Cao Mengde very much, and they are friends. Now that our army has destroyed Cao Mengde, if my prediction is correct, I am afraid there will be a big battle in the north of Yanzhou."

Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes narrowed, "Wen He, do you mean that Yuan Benchu ​​will avenge Cao Mengde?"

Jia Xu shook his head, "Whether it's for revenge or for other reasons, I'm afraid Jizhou will send troops this time no matter what."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu paused and explained, "In Yanzhou, Cao Mengde restrained our army, and Yuan Benchu ​​was concentrating his forces to plot Youzhou, so he did not send troops to Yanzhou for a long time. Now our army has eliminated Cao Mengde. , I am afraid that Yuan Benchu ​​also has fears about our army, fearing that our army will become bigger, so he will definitely send troops."

Lu Bu nodded, "Wen He, you are right. This time, Yuan Benchu ​​may not be able to hold himself back and use troops against Yanzhou."

Jia Xu cupped his hands, "Now the war is about to start, so Xuzhou must be stable in order to deal with it with all our strength.

But if you want Xuzhou to be stable, you must coexist peacefully with the Xuzhou family, so I think that no matter what Wen Hou thinks, it is better to be patient for the time being, and it is not too late to make another arrangement after the war is over. "

Hearing this, Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "Wen He, you mean that no matter what the Xuzhou family does, we must be patient?"

Jia Xu nodded, "Marquis Wen, the overall situation is the most important thing. In addition, among these Xuzhou aristocratic families, there are also many talented people, such as Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong of the Chen family. The father and son are very famous in Xuzhou and are quite famous. Talent.”

Lu Bu frowned, "Wenhe, you mean to use the Chen family father and son again?"

Jia Xu nodded, "Only by reusing it can the Xuzhou family be stabilized, otherwise, if there is trouble, it will not be good for our army to fight in front of us!"

Lu Bu was silent for a long time, and asked slowly, "Wenhe, if these aristocratic families are reused, what will happen to the refugees?"

There are also many refugees in Xuzhou. Lu Bu originally wanted to pacify Xuzhou as soon as possible and then resettle these refugees.

However, if we follow Jia Xu's words, once the aristocratic families are reused, and these aristocratic families are for their own benefit, it may be difficult for these refugees to resettle.

Hearing this, Jia Xu frowned slightly. He still didn't understand why Lu Bu valued these refugees so much!

Could it be that these refugees will bring benefits to Lu Bu?
impossible!
These refugees are good for little but a mouth.

Although the resettlement of refugees in Yanzhou was good, the large amount of money and food that was spent was totally worthless in Jia Xu's opinion!
With so much money and food, we can recruit as many soldiers as we can and buy as many horses as we can, and our strength will be increased several times. Isn’t this good?
Jia Xu originally thought that Lu Bu had so much food that he must have a lot of soldiers under him, but after joining this group, he suddenly realized that all of Lu Bu's food was eaten by refugees, and he didn't recruit many soldiers.

Jia Xu felt incredible. With so much money and food, no normal person would do such a useless thing.

If Lu Bu now has 5 soldiers and horses, all difficulties will be easily solved, and it is even possible to fight for the world.

However, Jia Xu clearly knew that even if Lu Bu assembled most of his troops, except for the soldiers who had to stay behind, he could only gather around 1 people.

Jia Xu came to inquire this time, on the one hand, it was about Xuzhou's affairs, and on the other hand, he actually wanted to persuade Lu Bu to recruit fewer refugees and immediately recruit troops to prepare for the upcoming war.

When Jia Xu heard Lu Bu's question, he hesitated for a moment, and cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, there are already enough refugees in Yanzhou, why not let it go in Xuzhou for now!
I believe that the most important thing to do now is to recruit troops to deal with Jizhou soldiers. "

Hearing this, Lu Bu frowned. He knew that Jia Xu was worried about his lack of soldiers and could not repel the Jizhou soldiers.

However, can Lu Bu do what he said?

impossible!
Lu Bu knew very well that his strength was not in the soldiers, but in these refugees.

Giving up on the refugees in Xuzhou is equivalent to giving up on progress.

Therefore, anyone in the world who persuades this matter will not succeed.

Lu Bu waved his hand and said solemnly, "Wenhe, the refugee matter cannot be stopped, it must continue."

Jia Xu frowned, "But, with the current situation in Xuzhou, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to recruit that one!"

Lu Bu took a deep breath and said slowly, "Wenhe, other matters can be discussed, only this matter cannot be discussed."

"But?"

Before Jia Xu finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lu Bu waving his hand.

Although Lu Bu's voice was not loud, his tone was extremely firm.

"Wen He, Ben Hou said that no matter who dares to stop this matter, Ben Hou will not show mercy."

Speaking of this, Lu Bu turned his head and looked at Jia Xu with burning eyes, "Wenhe, now Benhou said again, the Xuzhou family wants to coexist peacefully with Benhou, and Benhou has no objection, but if you want to stop the refugees, don't Blame me for being ruthless."

Jia Xu was stunned, and asked in surprise, "Marquis Wen, for the sake of these refugees, wouldn't he not hesitate to get into trouble with those aristocratic families?"

Lu Bu nodded, "Benhou said, anyone, no matter who they are!"

Hearing this, Jia Xu secretly sighed inwardly.

He thought that Lu Bu had changed and had the intention of fighting for the world, but he never expected that it was still the same, which made him a little disappointed!

Those who make big things don't care about small details, let alone those mere refugees.

Jia Xu coughed lightly, and cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, let's not mention the matter of Xuzhou for now, if Jizhou sends troops, how should we deal with it?"

Lu Bu was silent for a long time, and sighed, "If Yuan Benchu ​​really sends troops to Yanzhou, I can only lead the troops to fight."

Jia Xu hurriedly cupped his hands, "Why don't you take this opportunity to recruit more troops to deal with the immediate crisis?"

Lu Bu nodded, "Originally, the Marquis didn't want to recruit more soldiers, because it would be too costly to waste food, but the big battle is coming, so that's the only way to go."

Seeing Lu Bu's unwillingness to let go of the refugees, Jia Xu couldn't bear it anymore, "Marquis Wen, I have a question to ask, are refugees really that important?"

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Jia Xu, and said seriously, "Wenhe is very important, so this matter must be carried out."

Looking at Lu Bu's firm eyes, Jia Xu knew that it would be useless to persuade her, so she could only sigh inwardly, cupped her hands, and said with a wry smile.

"In that case, I understand what Marquis Wen thinks, and know how to deal with the Xuzhou family!"

Lu Bu nodded, "Wenhe, I will leave the matter of Xuzhou to you."
