The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"At present, Yuan Shu is stationed in Yuzhou, and he is eyeing it. If Yuan Benchu ​​can help me defeat Yuan Shu and take Yuzhou, I will send you a hundred training methods for forging weapons." Lu Bu said.

Xu You's face showed embarrassment, "Wen Hou's words are a bit difficult for a strong man. Yuan Shu is powerful, and Jizhou is far away from Xuzhou. It is not easy for Zhou Mu to send a large army to support Wen Hou."

"Since you know it's a difficult situation, why are you still mentioning it in front of me?" Lu Bu asked with a grim expression.

The critical situation in Xuzhou does not mean that other people can take advantage of the opportunity to step forward to gain benefits. Lu Bu will give sincerity to those who have sincerity.

"Zhou Mu's heart to help Wen Hou is sincere. Wen Hou never traded with Yuan Shu for a hundred-refined weapon. Now the Jizhou army needs to deal with Gongsun Zan. If Wen Hou is willing to support the Jizhou army's hundred-refined weapon, Zhou Mu will be delighted." Xu You said.

Lu Bu said slowly: "This Marquis often tells the soldiers in the army that if you want to get something, you must learn to give."

"Marquis Wen's intention, I will convey to Zhou Mu." Xu You cupped his hands.

"Tell Yuan Benchu ​​that Benhou's situation is urgent, and the same is true of Jizhou," Lu Bu said.

"I will definitely inform Zhou Mu." Xu You's tone was also a bit unfriendly.

When he came to Xuzhou this time, Xu You had enough confidence to benefit from Lu Bu's hands. He did not expect that Lu Bu's attitude was so tough. Compared with Lu Bu, Jia Xu seemed to be more gentle.

"The Marquis has thousands of cavalry under his command, and he can't go anywhere in the world." Lu Brown said.

"Wen Hou is brave and good at fighting, and his reputation is shocking all over the world. He will surely win." Xu You echoed.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "If that's the case, the Marquis would like to hear it. The price of a hundred-refined weapon is [-] yuan cheaper than before, but it must be exchanged with materials."

Xu You clapped his hands and said yes, coming to Xuzhou, the forging method of the hundred-refined weapon is the main thing, but buying the hundred-refined weapon is equally important. Now that Lu Bu took the initiative to make a concession, it gave Yuan Shao a lot of face.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen, and I will take my farewell." Xu You saluted and left Lu Bu's room.

"It seems that all the princes in the world think that this Marquis and Yuan Shu cannot win in a confrontation." Lu Bu turned his attention to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, the Xuzhou army has elite soldiers, even if Yuan Shu has [-] soldiers under his command, so what can we do."

"It's rare to hear such bold words from Wenhe." Lu Bu laughed and said, "When I was in Xuzhou, the princes of the world condemned me. Now that the princes of the world are not optimistic about me, I want to let them see. What an elite soldier you are."

Jizhou envoy Xu You's attitude was tougher than before, and Yuan Shu's envoy Han Yin was the same. Han Yin didn't like Lu Bu himself. Before the war started, Yuan Shu also wanted to benefit from Lu Bu.

The deal in Yanzhou caused Yuan Shu to lose a lot of supplies. Although the supplies at that time were not enough to pay for thousands of refined weapons, it still makes people feel distressed.

After some conversation, Han Yin insisted on seeing Lu Bu.

Guo Jia had no choice but to bring Han Yin here.

"My lord." Guo Jia bowed his hands and nodded slightly when he saw Jia Xu was there.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said, "My lord, this subordinate will leave."

"Wenhe doesn't have to leave," Lu Bu said.

Jia Xu can be said to be the counselor who followed him at the beginning. Since Jia Xu took refuge, Lu Bu will make Jia Xu feel what is called trust.

A scholar died for his confidant, and Lu Bu believed that as long as he paid, he would be rewarded.

"I am the envoy of Yuan Zhoumu, who has met Marquis Wen." Han Yin clasped his hands.

"Yuan Gonglu sent you here to declare war on the Marquis?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Han Yin said: "Marquis Wen and Zhou Mu are allies."

Lu Bu nodded slightly, signaling Han Yin to continue.

"However, when Marquis Wen was trading Hundred Refined Weapons, he took action against the soldiers under Zhou Mu's command to seize supplies. Isn't this inappropriate with etiquette?"

"Is it not in accordance with the etiquette? Could it be that it is in accordance with the etiquette for Yuan Gonglu to station troops in Yuzhou?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically.

Han Yin said: "The state herdsman sent troops and horses to deal with the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou."

"Isn't that true? A mere yellow scarf is worth Yuan Gonglu's dispatch of [-] soldiers and horses? Among them, [-] soldiers and horses are stationed in Peiguo." Lu Bu said solemnly.

"Yellow scarves are rampant, so Zhou Mu has no choice but to come here this time, not only for the sake of refining weapons, but also for the state of Lu." Han Yin said: "The state of Lu is under the rule of Yuzhou. If Marquis Wen is willing to If Lu Guo and Bai Lian's weapons are returned to Zhou Mu, it may calm Zhou Mu's anger."

Lu Bu sneered and said, "Calm Yuan Gonglu's anger? Xuzhou is in turmoil. Lei Bo led troops to attack Pengcheng. Who will calm down this Marquis' anger?"

Han Yin was at a loss for words. This matter was indeed Yuan Shu's mistake. Of course, this was a failure. If it succeeded, there would be no Lu Bu who is currently occupying Xuzhou.

"What happened at the beginning was a misunderstanding. Xuzhou officials secretly joined forces with General Lei Bo, saying that there were thieves and bandits in Pengcheng, and that's why General Lei Bo led the troops here." Han Yin bit the bullet and explained.

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Needless to say, there are [-] troops under Yuan Shu's tent, and this Marquis can also mobilize [-] troops. If there is a confrontation on the battlefield, wouldn't this Marquis still be afraid? Put away yours." Be careful."

Chapter 262 Eighteen Counts

"If this enrages me, I don't mind using your head as a sacrifice to the flag."

Han Yin's complexion changed slightly. He naturally knew what kind of person Lu Bu was. If he was beheaded by Lu Bu in Pengcheng, it would be justified and there is nothing to say.

Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are in the same situation, and the war between the two sides is inevitable. They came here for their own benefit. If they get the hundred-refined weapon from the Lu State and the previous trade without bloodshed, it will also be a blow to Xuzhou's army.

"If Marquis Wen said so, the war between the two sides will be inevitable." Han Yin's voice was a little low.

Lv Bu laughed and said, "This Marquis has been on the battlefield for many years. Since when has he ever been afraid of war? If Yuan Shu wants to benefit from this Marquis, it depends on whether he has the ability. Ben Hou was able to defeat Yuan Shu on the Yanzhou battlefield, but he can't now. exception."

"After going back, tell Yuan Shu to wash his neck and wait for Benhou to take his head."

Having said that, Han Yin could only bid farewell and leave. With Lu Bu's current state, if he got angry with Lu Bu, he might die in Xuzhou. The mind of a military general cannot be figured out with ordinary people's thinking.

Han Yin almost ran away, Guo Jia and Jia Xu showed smiles on their faces, Lv Bu acted very domineering in this matter, seemingly reckless, but in fact it was not, the war between the two armies was already inevitable, in this case, Lv Bu Why do you want to show weakness to Yuan Shu? If Yuan Shu really wanted to reconcile, he would not have dispatched an army to threaten Xuzhou.

Yuan Shao was held back by Gongsun Zan, and Liu Biao of Jingzhou had no intention of competing with Yuan Shu, which also gave Yuan Shu a chance.

"Command the lieutenant generals of the army to prepare for the battle." Lu Bu ordered.

"Here." Jia Xu and Guo Jia clasped their hands together.

Both Guo Jia and Jia Xu understood that Yuan Shu would definitely have many methods. Just stationing troops in Yuzhou brought a lot of pressure on Xuzhou. It was secretly uncertain how many families would show favor to Yuan Shu. The powerful Yuan family, some Time cannot be measured by the number of troops.

To win the battle, more factors must be taken into consideration.

"Wenhe, how is the surrounding situation?" Lu Bu turned his attention to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "My lord, according to the news from Xizuo, there is no sign of Qingzhou mobilizing troops, and the Jiangdong Army is also standing still."

Lv Bu nodded slightly and said, "Don't be negligent, inquire as much as possible about the news from all parties."

"My subordinate understands."

In August, Yuan Shu issued a proclamation to the princes, denouncing Lv Bu, listing Lv Bu's crimes in [-] major categories, and personally led the troops to the Ministry of Pei, planning to attack Pengcheng in one fell swoop.

Pengcheng is the state capital of Xuzhou, but Pengcheng is close to Peiguo, which means that once Yuzhou sends troops to attack, Pengcheng will be exposed to the enemy's edge.

At this time, Yuan Shao stood up, denounced Yuan Shu's actions, and supported Lu Bu.

Yuan Shao's behavior made the princes dumbfounded. Lu Bu's reputation is so bad. In the beginning, Yuan Shao stood on the opposite side of Lu Bu with a clear banner. Now in Yuan Shao's mouth, Lu Bu has become a loyal man. Needless to say, for sure It was Yuan Shao who benefited from Lu Bu.

Yuan Shao was the leader of the princes in the past, and his influence among the princes was even better than that of Yuan Shu, especially after winning the battle against Gongsun Zan last year, Yuan Shao's prestige was enhanced.

It is not difficult for people with a discerning eye to see that this is Yuan Shao planning to use Lu Bu's power to contain Yuan Shu.

The situation in the world is changing so quickly. After Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, it was Yuan Shu who supported Lu Bu and used it to contain the forces supporting Yuan Shao. Now it is Yuan Shao who uses Lu Bu to contain Yuan Shu.

This has also made many people see clearly that the princes will do everything for their own benefit.

The transaction between Yuan Shao and Xuzhou also started at the same time. Thousands of refined weapons will be exchanged for a large amount of supplies.

Yuan Shu was furious when he learned that the thousands of refined weapons that had not been successfully traded with Lv Bu fell into Yuan Shao's hands. There was competition between him and Yuan Shao, and he could not see Yuan Shao showing off his might among the princes. He is the son of the Yuan family.

"Yuan Shu's list of [-] crimes is not bad." Lu Bu smiled after reading Yuan Shu's proclamation.

The officials in the State Shepherd's Mansion kept silent. This kind of thing would not be comfortable for anyone, but they did not feel depressed from Lu Bu.

"Wen He is in charge of writing, and I will also list Yuan Shu's crimes." Lu Bu said, "Yuan Shu said what he said is grand, why didn't he send the Jade Seal of Chuanguo to Chang'an."

The Jade Seal of Chuanguo represents the inheritance of the Great Han Dynasty. It is of great significance, and even has the meaning of destiny to a certain extent. Yuan Shu is a powerful prince. After getting the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, he will inevitably have other ideas. However, Yuan Shu would definitely not willingly hand over the Chuanguo Yuxi.

"My lord, Yuan Shu is an ambitious man." Zhang Zhao came out and said, "Xuzhou now has an army of 5 people, so prepare early."

Lu Bu nodded. Yuan Shu's ultimate goal is to break through Pengcheng, but Lu Bu's idea is to keep Yuan Shu from getting close to Pengcheng. In the Yingshan Mountain outside Pengcheng, there is such a secret existence as the craftsman's workshop, relying on the things made by the craftsman's workshop , Lv Bu has made a lot of benefits.

The princes must have conducted a detailed investigation of the situation in Xuzhou. The secrets in Yingshan may have been known to the princes, but the craftsmen workshops in Yingshan are heavily guarded and it is difficult for ordinary people to get close.

Now that Yuan Shu is mobilizing the crowd to come here, he must have the idea of ​​obtaining Xuzhou's secrets.

The [-] troops gathered at the Ministry of Peiguo to intimidate Pengcheng. The number of merchants going to Pengcheng has dropped a lot. Although money is good, if you risk your life for money, it is not worth it.

Yuan Shu's strength is strong, and he has a great reputation among the princes. More people are optimistic about Yuan Shu, not Lu Bu.

"Now that Yuan Shu's army intends to enter Pengcheng at any time, do you have any good strategies to defeat the enemy?" Lu Bu asked.

Before the soldiers and horses gathered in Xuzhou, the military advisers were thinking about how to better deal with this war. As for the strategic matters, they needed to play in front of the battle.

It would be unbelievable if you could even come up with a strategy before the battle. The strategy should be viewed in light of the specific situation of both sides.

Guo Jia came out and said, "My lord, I have a plan."

"Bong Xiao but said."

"Yuan Shu gathered an army of [-], and the consumption of food, grass and supplies is bound to be incalculable. If a cavalry is sent into Yuzhou to cut off the enemy's food road, Yuan Shu will definitely retreat." Guo Jia said: "Runan County is an important area under Yuan Shu's rule. In counties and counties, Yuan Shu must have been terrified if a surprise army attacked Runan."

Chapter 263 The Eagle Mountain Ambush

Lu Bu showed a pensive look on his face. Guo Jia's strategy is very exciting, but the two strategies are full of dangers. Yuan Shu can be regarded as a generation who has experienced wars. How can he not pay attention to the matter of food and roads? The most important thing is a large army fighting. The most important thing is the food, grass, and supplies. If there is a problem with the food, grass, and supplies, no matter how elite the soldiers are, it will be difficult for them to do more.

There are elite cavalry in the Xuzhou army. Over the years, Yuan Shu has developed cavalry strength, and fought deep into the territory of Yuzhou, which is full of dangers. If the cavalry team is damaged, it will deal a big blow to the morale of the Xuzhou army.

Sending surprise soldiers to raid Runan County would indeed shock Yuan Shu, and the risk would be great.

Runan is Yuan Shu's hometown, and there must be many people who support Yuan Shu. Even if they break through the city by chance, they need to be more careful. It can be said that Yuan Shu mobilized the army from Yuzhou to attack Xuzhou, and it was after a lot of deliberation.

Yuan Shu's rule over Yuzhou is stronger than his rule over Yanzhou, and there are more people who support Yuan Shu. In this way, when the war starts, Yuan Shu will not worry about what will happen behind him.

"The policy of filial piety is feasible, but we have to wait for the right time." Lu Bu nodded.

Guo Jia bowed his hands and said yes, he didn't understand the danger of doing so, but as long as one of these two strategies is successful, it can make the soldiers in Yuan Shu's army panic.

"Yuan Shu dispatched his general Zhang Xun as the vanguard and led an army of [-] to Pengcheng. We can attack Zhang Xun," Jia Xu said.

"Wen He, tell me in detail." Lu Bu showed interest.

The important generals in the army are also staring at Jia Xu. The strategies of the counselors can play an unimaginable role on the battlefield. Sometimes, if the strategies are used properly, they can win the battle with less loss. victory.

There is no shortage of bloody generals in the Xuzhou army. This does not mean that they will blindly act recklessly on the battlefield. When they win, they should minimize their losses as much as possible. Only in this way can they get the greatest credit.

The power of a counselor cannot be ignored in the army. Whether it is Jia Xu or Guo Jia, they both have a certain status in the army. When ordinary army generals see them, they are respectful.

Different from ordinary literati, Jia Xu and Guo Jia were able to help the soldiers in the army win the war.

"Yingshan is the most convenient way for Peiguo to go to Pengcheng. My lord can order people to set up an ambush on Yingshan, and teach Yuan Shu's vanguard army a painful lesson." Jia Xu said.

Wei Xu was puzzled and said: "Military Master, our army defeated Yuan Shu's army at Yingshan before, how could Zhang Xun be unprepared?"

The rest of the generals also have the same doubts. After a normal person suffers a loss in a matter, he will definitely take precautions in his heart.

An ambush requires a surprise effect, and if it is detected by the enemy, it will lose its due effect.

"My lord, Zhang Xun is wary of Yingshan, but what will he think?"

Lu Bu showed a contemplative look. It is hard for ordinary people to imagine that the Xuzhou army will set up an ambush again on Yingshan. Because there was an ambush on Yingshan before, many people will unconsciously think that Yingshan is safe. It is also an opportunity for the Xuzhou Army.

"Okay, in the words of Wenhe, Benhou will personally lead the elite to go there." Lu Bu nodded and agreed.

"My lord is a man of ten thousand gold, how can I put myself in danger." Xu Chu immediately came out and said: "The final general is willing to lead the army."

The generals in the army persuaded them one after another. Although they wanted to follow Lu Bu on the battlefield, as Lu Bu's status rose, they had to pay attention to this aspect. If Lu Bu was there, Xuzhou and Yanzhou would be stable. If Lu Bu appeared on the battlefield What will happen to the city under his rule?

Lu Bu laughed and said: "In terms of bravery, you are far behind me. I have been on the battlefield for many years. I have never seen any kind of turmoil. I am just the vanguard of Yuan Shu's army. Even if it is a direct confrontation, I will lead the cavalry. It can be easily defeated."

From Lu Bu's words, the generals in the army felt strong confidence. This was Lu Bu who was invincible in the army.

"The matter is settled like this. I will lead the troops and horses to teach the enemy's so-called vanguard army a hard lesson." Lu Bu said slowly.

"Here." Everyone said in unison.

Lu Bu's will cannot be shaken. At this time, it is very difficult to persuade Lu Bu not to fight.

Lu Bu, known for his bravery among the princes, has never been afraid of war.

"This subordinate requests to follow." Jia Xu cupped his hands.
