The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"My lord, Sun Ce borrowed troops to pacify Jiangdong, and now occupies Jiangdong counties. After the lord ordered someone to pass the news, there was no movement." Yang Hong said.

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, and snorted coldly: "At the beginning, I thought of Sun Jian's bravery, and couldn't bear the decline of the Sun family in Jiangdong. If Sun Ce dared to do something to betray me, he would definitely not forgive him."

"My lord, my subordinates are willing to go to Jiangdong to persuade Sun Ce to send troops." Yuan Huan said.

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "With you going, I am very relieved."

After Yuan Shu and the others made detailed plans again, they started the final arrangement before the battle.

Ever since he suffered a loss on the Yanzhou battlefield, Yuan Shu has been thinking about how to get back from Lu Bu. The two armies attacked Yanzhou at the same time. Lu Bu, who was at a disadvantage in numbers, actually got the most benefit from the battle. Such a thing How could Yuan Shu endure it.

Yuan Shu needs a strong general to help him, but Lu Bu's actions have already touched Yuan Shu's bottom line. If Lu Bu is allowed to develop in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, it will definitely have an impact on Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu's counselors also realized this, and Lu Bu was too restless.

If Lu Bu had obeyed Yuan Shu's order, the current situation in the world would definitely be different. If Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan sent troops to attack Yuan Shao at the same time, how could Yuan Shao keep Jizhou.

Chapter 259 Preparations before the war

The development of the matter to such an extent has a certain relationship with Yuan Shu. As a noble son of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu has always been proud. The son-in-law of the family should stand at the top position of the princes.

Yang Hong and Yan Xiang are important counselors under Yuan Shu's account. They sang in chorus. They don't want the alliance between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu to continue. This will be of great benefit to Yuan Shu's future development history. relationship is difficult to ease.

With the help of Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, the biggest threat in Hebei, was eradicated. Looking at the world, who can compete with Yuan Shu?

Due to his personality, Yuan Shu is not the type to tolerate others, which is why some talents went to Yuan Shu's command and then left.

When the Yanzhou army was mobilized, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Sun Ce sent envoys to Pengcheng respectively.

The war is about to break out, what is the reason for the princes to send envoys here at such a time?

"Feng Xiao, what do you think is the reason for the arrival of envoys from all directions?" Lu Bu asked.

Guo Jia pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, from my subordinate's point of view, these envoys came here just to get benefits from my lord."

"Xuzhou and Yanzhou have hundreds of refined weapons for sale, which are from the hands of the Lord, but the price of hundreds of refined weapons is expensive. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao have the strength to buy weapons, but Liu Bei and Sun Ce are different. Liu Bei occupies the plains, and the soldiers and horses are not enough. Thousands of people were defeated by the lord before, facing the Xuzhou army, there is no chance of winning, and Liu Bei's younger brother Zhang Fei is under house arrest in Pengcheng, Liu Bei must not dare to act rashly."

"But Yuan Shu's heart of attacking Xuzhou is already obvious, and it is possible that Liu Bei wants to take advantage of the opportunity."

Lu Bu snorted coldly and said, "It's just Liu Bei, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of this Marquis. If you want to get benefits, it depends on whether Liu Bei has such abilities."

"Before this Marquis and Sun Ce had no relationship, could Sun Ce also take this opportunity to blackmail me?"

Jia Xu said: "My lord, Sun Ce borrowed soldiers and horses from Yuan Shu, went to Jiangdong, and pacified many counties and counties, with an army of more than ten thousand people under his command, and the city occupied by Sun Ce is only across the river from Guangling, and Sun Ce is Yuan Shu's leader. My subordinates, if Sun Ce sends troops, Guangling will be in danger."

"Seeing that the Marquis is in danger, these people all want to benefit from the Marquis. Even a small guy like Liu Bei dares to stand up. Aren't they afraid that the Marquis will kill him first?" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

Jia Xu hastily persuaded: "At this time Zhang Fei is in the hands of the lord, and he and Liu Bei are sworn brothers. Liu Bei must not dare to act rashly, so there is nothing to worry about. Besides, there are many yellow scarves raging in Qingzhou, and Liu Bei can't take care of himself. How could he invade Xuzhou?"

Lv Bu is a peerless general, especially when Lv Bu leads an army, he is even more powerful. However, generals have the way generals think about problems. Jia Xu is worried that Lv Bu will make wrong decisions when the situation is unfavorable.

This is an opportunity for Lu Bu to rise among the princes, and it is also accompanied by many risks. If he fails, he will fall into a place of eternal doom.

Lu Bu's reputation in the world determines that after Lu Bu fails, no princes will be willing to take him in.

"We need to pay close attention to the situation around Xuzhou and Yanzhou." Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said, "Wen He and Feng Xiao are responsible for receiving envoys from princes."

"Here." The two said in unison.

"How are the preparations for the food and supplies going?" Lu Bu turned his attention to Mi Zhu and Zhang Zhao.

Judging from the current situation, Zhang Zhao had no other thoughts after taking refuge in him. He was extra careful when doing things. Zhang Zhao was reused in Xuzhou, and even the children of the Zhang family were promoted a lot. Lu Bu believed that Zhang Zhao would make a wise decision.

Using the family behind the Zhang family as a threat to let Zhang Zhao serve, there must be some hidden dangers, but Lu Bu has no other choice. Who made his reputation among the princes so bad that talented people are not willing to be under his command? Serve life.

With the help of more talents, Lu Bu can deal with the situation more calmly. As for how to get the help of talents, Lu Bu doesn't care.

Fortunately, Lu Bu's reputation is too bad. If he has stronger strength, why not have more talents come to join him.

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the current supplies in Pengcheng are enough to consume a [-] army for a year."

Lu Bu nodded in satisfaction. The annual consumption of fifty thousand troops is a huge amount. Gathering so much food, grass and supplies is not too difficult for Lu Bu at present. Refining weapons made Lu Bu a huge profit.

Although the princes' acquisition of the hundred-refined weapons will strengthen the strength of the army under his command, Lu Bu will equip the army with more hundred-refined weapons.

This is also Lu Bu's strategy, to use the current advantages in resources to distance himself from the princes as much as possible. When his strength reaches a certain level, he does not need to rely on the method of selling hundreds of refined weapons.

The situation among the princes is complicated and changeable, but if you have strength, you will be respected.

"Zibu and Zizhong are in charge of this matter. The Marquis is very relieved. How is the doctor's affairs?"

Mi Zhu said: "There are hundreds of doctors gathered in Pengcheng, but the level of these doctors is uneven."

"The Marquis will give generous conditions to these doctors, and even give rewards to those who have made great contributions to the Xuzhou army when a war breaks out." Lu Bu said, "But the wounded soldiers must be treated as much as possible."

"In terms of medicinal materials, we should also prepare adequately."

After coming to Dahan, Lu Bu realized the shortcomings in the army. Without doctors to treat the wounded soldiers, it is difficult for these soldiers to survive after being injured.

For the princes, the lives of these soldiers are nothing, as long as there are enough people under the rule, and another army can be recruited.

Lu Bu has a different view on this. If you want the soldiers in the army to use their lives, you must let them see hope. It may take a lot of supplies and money to treat a wounded soldier, but what they get is the morale of the soldiers. When fighting, you will be more brave.

When Lu Bu proposed such a strategy, Jia Xu, Guo Jia and others agreed.

This is also the reason why so many doctors gathered in Pengcheng.

"This subordinate understands." Mi Zhu cupped his hands.

Lu Bu said: "However, these doctors must be trained in the way they treat the injured. Try to let high-level doctors teach the methods of curing diseases and saving lives."

After the crowd dispersed, Lu Bu turned his attention to the topographic map behind him.

The huge topographical map includes Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Sili, Yangzhou, and Yuzhou. These are all factors that may threaten his rule.

Chapter 260

"Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, Liu Bei, Yuan Shao, if you want to play with me, I will let you know what the power of thunder is." Lu Bu said in a low voice.

For this battle, Lu Bu made a lot of preparations. Lu Bu did not do the matter of attracting the princes. It is too normal for the princes to fight for their own interests. The words between them are a good explanation. In the face of absolute interests, there are no allies, and some are just fighting for interests.

Just as Jia Xu and Guo Jia expected, the envoys from all directions came here just for the benefit.

The critical situation in Xuzhou is the best opportunity to gain benefits, such as taking the opportunity to obtain a large number of Hundred-Refined Weapons, otherwise, once Lu Bu is broken by Yuan Shu, it means that the forging method of Hundred-Refined Weapons will fall into Yuan Shu's control .

With Yuan Shu's mind, after obtaining such a sharp weapon forging method, how could he share it with other princes.

In the eyes of the princes, Lv Bu was on the absolutely weak side in the confrontation with Yuan Shu. If he did not do much after the war started, the most likely situation would be that the officials under his rule would betray him.

Yuan Shu's reputation cannot be compared with Lu Bu's, and this is also where Yuan Shu's greatest advantage lies.

And giving Lu Bu a certain amount of support at this time will definitely win Lu Bu's favor.

Liu Bei's envoys and Sun Ce's envoys expressed such meaning, Jia Xu and Guo Jia also agreed to sell a certain number of hundred-refined weapons to the two parties, and even had such a certain discount on the price.

Lv Bu is a powerful monarch, and he is unwilling to bow his proud head in front of the princes, but Guo Jia and Jia Xu want to consider issues from Lv Bu's perspective. Lv Bu can do what he is today, and how much effort he has put in, the two of them naturally is able to see.

In order that Xuzhou would not have more enemies in the future, even if the two suffered some grievances, it was nothing.

After Jia Xu and Guo Jia stated the terms of agreement, Lu Bu thought for a while, and understood their intentions, and nodded in agreement. The preferential price is not much. As for whether he can win Sun Ce and Liu Bei, he has no way Got it.

The envoys of Sun Ce and Liu Bei were easy to deal with, but the envoys of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were not so simple.

Unlike Xu You who came to Xuzhou at the beginning, Xu You now feels arrogant.

"Military division, Zhou Mu sent this envoy here for the sake of Marquis Wen," Xu You said.

Jia Xu naturally understood the meaning of Xu You's words, and said with a smile: "Marquis Wen is busy with affairs, if the envoy has anything to say, I would like to convey it on my behalf."

"Busy business? This envoy is here, but it represents the princes and alliance leaders." Xu You said dissatisfied.

Jia Xu said: "The leader of the princes? Why don't I remember?"

Xu You's face turned red. Yuan Shao used to be the leader of the alliance of princes, but now the alliance of princes is no longer there. If this is used as a starting point, it will make people laugh.

When the princes were in the alliance, Yuan Shao did have a high prestige among the princes, and the princes would dare not refuse to give an order, but now the situation has undergone tremendous changes. Put it in your eyes?

As for passing Yuan Shao when recommending officials, it is for better approval.

"Yuan Shu gathered tens of thousands of troops in Yuzhou." Xu You snorted coldly.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "In the past, when Marquis Wen was in charge of Xuzhou, he was besieged on all sides. How critical the situation was, but the princes have seen Marquis Wen showing weakness. Now Marquis Wen is in the land of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and Pengcheng is strong. Will you still be afraid of mere enemy troops?"

"The tone of the military division is not small. I wonder if it can represent the meaning of Marquis Wen?" Xu You asked.

Jia Xu said: "Since Marquis Wen asked me to take charge of this matter, I can naturally make the decision, but I don't know what the envoy means, can he represent Jizhou Mu?"

What Xu You felt from Jia Xu's body was sharpness, much like Lu Bu's posture of resolutely fighting back against the attacks of the princes in the past.

Xu You has a certain understanding of Jia Xu's important position beside Lu Bu. Since he came to Xuzhou, he must do a good job, but what he didn't expect was that Lu Bu's attitude was so tough. Could it be that Lu Bu Didn't the counselors under his command see the crisis in Xuzhou today?

"Yuan Shu is in charge of rich places such as Yuzhou and Yangzhou, plus Chenliu County and Jiyin County in Yanzhou, and Jiangdong Sun Ce is also under his command. The situation of Marquis Wen is so critical. The state pastor sent this envoy here precisely to Help Marquis Wen." Xu You's tone softened a lot.

Jia Xu said: "Yuan Shu's troops were outstanding in the Yanzhou battlefield in the past, but Changyi fell into the hands of Marquis Wen."

"One moment and another, it was Yuan Shu who didn't take Wenhou seriously." Xu You said.

"The envoy should directly explain the purpose of his visit," Jia Xu said.

Xu You has been waiting for an opportunity. The reason why he created such an atmosphere is to get as much benefit from Lu Bu as possible. Hundred-refined weapons are expensive, and Lu Bu requires that they must be exchanged with materials. How can he not see it? Lu Bu is strengthening himself through the sale of hundreds of refined weapons.

With the help of hundreds of refined weapons, Lu Bu was able to amass a large amount of wealth. From the equipment of Lu Bu's soldiers, it can be seen that other princes are not as wealthy as Lu Bu.

At the moment of Lv Bu's crisis, Yuan Shao extended a helping hand, and he would definitely win Lv Bu's favor. At that time, he would pay some price and get the method of forging a hundred-refined weapon. How could other princes compete with Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Zan was not a small threat to Yuan Shao, and could not really threaten Yuan Shao's rule in Jizhou, especially after winning the battle with Gongsun Zan last year, which boosted the morale of the Jizhou army.

"The forging method of Hundred Refined Weapons, I wonder if you can make the decision?"

Jia Xu said: "Hundred Refined Weapons is Xuzhou's secret. If you want to get the forging method of Hundred Refined Weapons, you have to go through Marquis Wen. As long as Jizhou Mu is willing to pay, I believe that Marquis Wen will agree."

"This envoy wants to discuss with Marquis Wen, what do you mean?" Xu You asked with a smile.

Jia Xu nodded and agreed. Xu You's words were aggressive, and he seemed to gain more benefits from Xuzhou's urgent situation. If he faced Lu Bu with such an attitude, there would definitely be many problems.

"Jizhou Mu and Wenhou are allies. The envoy must have a certain understanding of Wenhou's character. Don't offend Wenhou because of some words." Jia Xu reminded in a low voice.

Xu You nodded knowingly.

When Xu You and Jia Xu came, Lu Bu was quite surprised. He dealt with the envoys from all directions. Lu Bu handed it over to Jia Xu and Guo Jia. I believe that with their abilities and methods, they would be able to deal with it with ease. The envoys of Sun Ce and Liu Bei Being beaten is a good explanation.

Chapter 261 Who will appease Ben Hou's anger?

During this period of time, Lu Bu often went to the army and the places where doctors were trained, and he tried to find out the current problems in Xuzhou as much as possible, so that he could have a greater chance of winning when facing the enemy.

This confrontation is related to Lu Bu's rule in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and there should be no negligence in the slightest.

When facing the army of princes, Lu Bu stepped forward without hesitation. This does not mean that Lu Bu was reckless in handling things.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles. At this time, Lu Bu was calm.

"Let the two of you come in." Lu Bu said lightly.

After a while, Xu You and Jia Xu entered the room.

The layout of the room is very simple, and what catches the eye is the topographic map hanging behind Lu Bu.

Topographic maps are very precious when marching and fighting, especially detailed topographic maps, which are of great help to the generals in the army to control the situation on the battlefield.

"Xu You, envoy of Jizhou, has met Marquis Wen." Xu You cupped his hands.

Lu Bu nodded slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

If you see other princes, you will definitely have some polite words, which will not happen here with Lu Bu.

"Zhou Mu wants to buy the forging method of the Bailian weapon in the hands of Marquis Wen, what does Marquis Wen mean?" Xu You asked.

Lu Bu stood up and said slowly: "How scarce the Hundred-Refined Weapon is, I think Yuan Benchu ​​knows it. It is not impossible to obtain the forging method of the Hundred-Refined Weapon."

When Xu You heard this, his heart moved.
