Lu Bu's strongest strategy

Chapter 69 Xu Tao
Lu Bu thought for a long time, and felt that there was only one way to solve this problem, and that was to continue to occupy new cities.

The support value that Dong'a and Fan County can gain has reached its peak, and even if it increases again, it won't be too much.

Therefore, you can only go to new cities to harvest support points.

There are still many cities in Yanzhou, and Lu Bu has never occupied them. If you go to these cities, you will definitely get more support.

However, similarly, these cities did not have the troops sent by Lu Bu. Although they promised to submit to Lu Bu, who can guarantee that they will always be loyal?

If Lu Bu went to the various cities to harvest, once these cities rebelled, the support points gained by Lu Bu would be withdrawn immediately.

More importantly, the things obtained will be taken back accordingly.

With the experience of last time, Lu Bu has already made it clear that he should not covet too many territories, otherwise, once these places are lost, the consequences will be very serious.

Now, Lu Bu is also very clear that only by capturing Juancheng as soon as possible and driving Cao Mengde out of Yanzhou can the entire city of Yanzhou be occupied and protected.

……

The next day, Lu Bu put away his leisurely state and came to the barracks early in the morning to inquire about the soldiers in the army, the results of the training, and the food situation.

In the barracks, he was busy until night before Lu Bu returned to the mansion. Before he had a cup of tea, someone came to report and Xu Si begged to see him.

Xu Bang was waiting outside the door. Although his face was calm, there was a look of ecstasy in his eyes.

Just after passing the news home yesterday, when the family members heard that Xu Si had taken his brother out to work, they immediately became overwhelmed and rushed to Xu's house overnight to congratulate him.

It is said that even people who don't usually come to Xu's house came to Xu's house for an unprecedented time. Although they didn't say it clearly, their envy was clearly revealed.

In order to entertain everyone, Xu Si's father set up two banquet tables in a hurry. He could only invite some respectable people to the banquet. Although the food and drink were not good, the atmosphere of the banquet was good. The rest of the people could only stand by and listen. .

Even so, everyone refused to leave. After tossing until the middle of the night, everyone reluctantly left.

When Xu Bang heard what his younger brother said, he immediately understood the true meaning of returning home.

At the same time, I secretly thanked Lu Bu in my heart. If he hadn't promoted me, how could I be where I am today.

Hearing Lu Bu's summons, Xu Si walked into the room with his younger brother, "See Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu waved his hand at Xu Si, but looked at a young man beside him.

He was of medium height, with a slightly dark face and a somewhat honest expression. He was sweating slightly on his forehead and looked a little embarrassed. He was rubbing his hands constantly and just stood beside Xu Bang with his head lowered.

"Dexian, is this your younger brother?"

Xu Si hastily cupped his hands and pushed his brother, "Dechu, greet Marquis Wen quickly."

Only then did Xu Tao react, and hastily cupped his hands, "I see Xu Tao passing Wenhou."

Seeing Xu Tao's performance, Lu Bu nodded secretly in his heart, "Dechu, do you know what is the reason why Benhou asked you to come here this time?"

Xu Tao hurriedly handed over his hand, "I know, eldest brother said that he wanted to study an object."

Xu Si hurriedly cupped his hands, "Marquis Wen, before you agree, what shall we tell Dechu to do?"

Hearing this, Lu Bu secretly praised Si for his thoughtfulness, and nodded, "That's fine."

Lu Bu turned his head to look at Xu Tao, and said with a smile, "Dechu, the object I want you to make is of great importance. The most important thing is that the method of making it cannot be known to outsiders. Can you guarantee it?"

Xu Tao nodded, raised a hand, and said dumbly, "Marquis Wen, I can swear to the sky that I will never say anything."

Lu Bu looked at Xu Tao's clear eyes and felt that it didn't look like he was lying. He nodded, "Dexian, in that case, let Dechu do this."

Hearing Lu Bu's agreement, Xu Si breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu waved his hand, remembering the introduction of making glass, and said slowly, "Dechu, if you want to make what I'm talking about, you may not be in the city, but go to a hidden place, maybe you won't come out for a long time, can you do it?"

Xu Tao nodded, "It's okay, I don't go out much when I'm at home."

Xu Si smiled and said, "Marquis Wen, my brother, sometimes I don't go out for a month or two in order to study something. This is common."

Curious in his heart, Lu Bu turned to look at Xu Tao, and asked with a smile, "Dechu, since you always research things, can you talk to Benhou, what have you researched?"

Speaking of this issue, Xu Tao immediately showed a relaxed expression on his face, and scratched his head, "It's nothing good, I just have some ideas occasionally, and I made them for fun."

Seeing that his brother couldn't say anything, Xu Si hurriedly said, "Marquis Wen, I didn't pay attention to other things, but Dechu researched a sitting thing, and I found it to be pretty good, so this time Dechu came from When I came out of the house, I asked him to bring one."

"Oh!"

Lu Bu was taken aback, and asked with a smile, "What is it?"

Xu Tao said hastily, "I put it outside, I'll bring it in and show it to Marquis Wen."

After finishing speaking, Xu Tao ran out quickly without waiting for Lu Bu's reply.

Seeing his younger brother being rude, Xu Si cupped his hands in embarrassment, "Marquis Wen, Dechu has been rude, please forgive me."

Lu Bu waved his hand, "De Xian, De Chu has a true temperament, how can I blame him!"

While the two were talking, Xu Tao had already run in from the door with something in his arms.

"Marquis Wen, look quickly, it's this thing."

Lu Bu looked at the things that Xu Tao brought in, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Xu Tao smiled and said, "Marquis Wen, please come over and have a try?"

Lu Bu stood up suspiciously, and walked to the object, "What are you looking at?"

Xu Tao said with a smile, "Usually, it is very uncomfortable for us to sit on our knees. After a long time, our legs will become numb. So, I made this thing that can make people sit comfortably."

After speaking, Xu Tao cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, please sit down for a while and see if you feel comfortable?"

Following Xu Tao's instructions, Lu Bu sat on it, straightened his legs, and really felt much more comfortable. The most wonderful thing was that there were two armrests on both sides of the seat, which made it more comfortable to put his hands on.

"That's right. Dechu made this thing. It's really good. It's very comfortable to sit on."

Hearing Lu Bu's praise, Xu Tao immediately grinned to his ears, "Brother, look at how Marquis Wen has praised me, but you still said that I've lost my ambition and neglected my job. Shouldn't I change now?"
