The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

The monarch's mind cannot be fathomed, and they are not sure what kind of action Lu Bu will take next.

However, this victory is definitely of great significance to the officials in Xuzhou. The victory established Lu Bu's status among the princes. If other princes want to attack Lu Bu in the future, they need to be more cautious and offend Lu Bu. Such powerful princes will not be of any benefit to them.

Chapter 338 Messenger Han Yin

The compliments were endless, and Lu Bu was also in a good mood. After defeating Yuan Shu, Guangling's Jiangdong Army was nothing to worry about, and it was more necessary to take advantage of the situation to expand the results.

Yuan Shu's army is still gathered in Peiguo, but this situation will not last long. With the lack of supplies in the army, can Yuan Shu still sit still? The key is the threat from Jingzhou, which cannot be underestimated.

Liu Biao ruled rich and prosperous, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers in armor. If Liu Biao took the opportunity to send troops, it would bring a more deadly threat to Yuan Shu.

"My lord, Yuan Shu sent Han Yin to come to Pengcheng to see my lord," Mi Zhu said.

Lu Bu snorted coldly, "Now that Yuan Shu has been defeated, he wants to come here to ask for peace. How could it be such a simple matter."

"My lord, Yuan Shu's request for peace just proves the urgency of the situation under his rule. If the lord takes the opportunity to raise conditions, Yuan Shu will not dare to refuse." Jia Xu laughed.

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "Wen He is right, let Han Yin come to see Benhou."

Entering Pengcheng again, Han Yin's mood was not as relaxed as before. When Yuan Shu was strong, Han Yin dared not to take Xuzhou's officials into his eyes, but now Yuan Shu has become the loser. If he behaves rampantly in Xuzhou , but life is in danger.

The easing of relations with Lu Bu was not as simple as it appeared. It is foreseeable that after this summing up, Yuan Shu's influence among the princes will decline to what extent.

This time coming to Pengcheng, Han Yin must succeed, he can't just watch Lu Bu grow like this, and he can't bear Yuan Shu's decline.

Following behind Yuan Shu, Han Yin was full of fighting spirit, and he was bound to make a name for himself under Yuan Shu's command, and Yuan Shu's previous actions also made Han Yin full of fighting spirit. As long as he defeated Lu Bu, Yuan Shu's strength would rise to an extremely terrifying level At that time, when the other princes face Yuan Shu, they will definitely not dare to be presumptuous in the slightest, and Yuan Shu will become the most powerful one among the princes.

But now, what Yuan Shu needs to do is to recover from the defeat of this war as soon as possible, and to resist unknown dangers. If he is a little careless, he may even lose the cities he obtained in the past.

This battle also allowed Han Yin to see Lu Bu's strength. Before Yuan Shu and the princes of the world, they still lacked understanding of Lu Bu. A prince who dared to lead cavalry to charge the enemy's central army on the battlefield is definitely impressive. to terrible.

Moreover, in normal times, Lu Bu showed an extremely tough attitude. When he entered Xuzhou, he was condemned by the princes of the world. However, Lu Bu did not have the slightest fear. had a career.

The rise of Lu Bu is no longer something that Yuan Shu can stop, and the most urgent task is to better ease the relationship with Lu Bu.

On the way to Pengcheng, Han Yin also thought a lot, how to persuade Lu Bu is also important.

Unlike ordinary princes, Lu Bu is a military general, and ordinary even considers himself a general. The way of negotiating with Lu Bu must be more flexible, let alone offend Lu Bu at this time, otherwise the relationship between the two parties will deteriorate.

The current Yuan Shu does not want to continue the battle with the Xuzhou army. He needs peace and stability, and this matter is tied to Han Yin.

"Young Marquis is welcome." The soldier guarding the State Shepherd's Mansion said in a cold voice, and even looked at Han Yin with some unkind eyes.

Han Yin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the soldier's attitude. Yuan Shu was the loser in this battle. Since he is the loser's envoy, he must be prepared to be humiliated by the enemy. If he is not even prepared for this If that is the case, Han Yin is not sure that he can get out of Xuzhou alive.

"Thank you." Han Yin slightly cupped his hands and walked towards the state pastoral mansion.

As an envoy of one party, even the defeated party must show a corresponding tolerance, otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculous. Han Yin has served as Yuan Shu's envoy many times, and this is understandable. It is the same reason as Lv Bu. On the other hand, the key is not to be underestimated.

How to control the middle speed depends on personal understanding.

Anyway, after entering the State Shepherd's Mansion, Han Yin felt rather depressed. After seeing him, the officials who came and went in the State Shepherd's Mansion had to point him out. Han Yin was no stranger to some officials in Xuzhou, and came here on behalf of Yuan Shu more than once. Xuzhou.

In the room, Han Yin saw Lu Bu, and slowly stepped forward to salute, "Han Yin, the envoy of the rear general, has seen Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu nodded slightly and said, "The envoy please get up."

"Thank you, Marquis Wen." Han Yin said.

After a short silence, Han Yin said: "The Empress General sent the humble officer here for the purpose of forming an alliance with Marquis Wen. Marquis Wen and Empress General were allies in the first place, but because of some things, swords and soldiers faced each other. The latter general hopes that the two sides can shake hands and make peace."

Lv Bu sneered and said, "Shake hands and make peace? When Yuan Gonglu led the army to approach Pengcheng, did he ever think about this aspect? If you don't attack me, I won't attack you."

"Wen Hou is brave and unstoppable. However, the Xuzhou army paid a high price for this battle. If the two sides continue to fight, some people who are interested may take advantage of it. I hope Wen Hou can be cautious. .” Han Yin persuaded.

Jia Xu said: "Yuan Shu tore up the covenant and led an army to attack Pengcheng. The soldiers in Xuzhou's army have never been afraid of war."

Han Yin's eyes tightened. He was no stranger to Jia Xu. He was the number one adviser under Lu Bu's command. He had a high status in the army and won Lu Bu's trust. If Jia Xu insisted on fighting, Lu Bu would Do more thinking, but soon Han Yin was relieved, Jia Xu's resourcefulness can definitely see that the current situation of the Xuzhou Army is not suitable for large-scale battles.

"Could it be that the envoy thinks that the Xuzhou army can't do without this strength?" Jia Xu asked with a smile as if he had seen Han Yin's thoughts.

"Although the Xuzhou army has suffered a lot of losses in the current battle, there are more than 2 prisoners in our army, and there is no shortage of elite soldiers among them. How many lieutenant officers and soldiers will we get? Will the envoy still think that the Xuzhou army does not have the strength to attack Yuzhou and Yangzhou?"

Han Yin's heart moved. He had indeed ignored the issue of the captives. In this battle, Yuan Shu was unjustly defeated. He led the army to attack the Chinese army because of Lv Bu, which led to the chaos and failure of the Chinese army. If Yuan Shu had taken precautions in advance , the war will definitely not be the current result, but if there will be no if in the war, the winner will have more power.

"Military division, I was ordered to come here, but I am very sincere." Han Yin said.

Chapter 339 The Land of the Three Counties

Lu Bu said lightly: "Show your sincerity. If this Marquis is satisfied, you might as well let Yuan Shu go."

"If Marquis Wen is willing to form an alliance with the later general, the later general is willing to give up Jiyin County. Jiyin County is a wealthy county in Yanzhou. After Wenhou gets Jiyin County, it will be enough to make up for the loss of this battle." Han Yin said.

Lv Bu snorted coldly, "If this is Yuan Shu's sincerity, please go back and tell Yuan Shu that what the Marquis wants, he can lead his troops to get it."

What is arrogance, this is arrogance, but in the face of Lu Bu's arrogance, Han Yin did not dare to offend.

"Marquis Wen, peace is the most important thing. Once the war starts, how many people will be involved in the war, how many people will be displaced, and how many soldiers will be buried in the battlefield." Han Yin said.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "When Yuan Shu led the army to attack Xuzhou, why didn't he think about this matter? Now that the Marquis leads the army to victory, but he came to persuade him with such words. How could there be such a thing in the world?" Such a cheap thing."

Han Yin's expression was not very good-looking. Lu Bu made it clear that he wanted to get more benefits from Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shu didn't give it to him, would Lu Bu start a war? Putting it on ordinary princes, Han Yin could benefit Guessing, the key is that it is difficult to fathom such a thing on Lu Bu.

Lu Bu is a well-known military general for a long time, and what he fears the most is war. This can be seen from the Xuzhou army's response to war. As the commander of the army, Lu Bu actually led cavalry to attack the enemy's central army. Crazy moves and scruples can only be done by Lu Bu.

Even these things have become a reality for Lu Bu, and it seems very possible for Lu Bu to threaten to attack Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu didn't dare to gamble, and Han Yin didn't dare to gamble either. This was related to the stability under Yuan Shu's rule.

"Marquis Wen, Liu Biao, shepherd of Jingzhou, is staring at him. Moreover, Liu Biao, shepherd of Jingzhou, had a lot of insults to Marquis Wen before. If Liu Biao takes the opportunity to attack Yangzhou and Yuzhou, his strength will grow and he will pose a threat to Marquis Wen." Han Yin tried his best to persuade.

Lu Bu said: "Liu Jingsheng abused me? Why didn't I know? Besides, Ben and Yuan Benchu ​​are allies. Could it be that Liu Jingsheng dared to attack me? Yuan Gonggong needs to worry about it. Liu Biao has a hundred thousand elites. If Jingzhou If the army attacks Yangzhou, Yuan Gonglu will be in danger."

Han Yin suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, obviously he was the one who analyzed the situation for Lu Bu, but instead made a move for Lu Bu.

"I wonder what conditions Marquis Wen has?" Han Yin asked.

Lu Bu got up and said, "I said that earlier, so there is no need to waste so much talking. Your purpose of coming here is clear."

Seeing this, Han Yin was secretly happy. From Lu Bu's attitude, he could feel that Lu Bu was preparing for peace talks between the two sides. As long as Yuan Shu was given enough time, there was no need to be afraid of Lu Bu. This time, Lu Bu won the battle, but good luck Not always.

If there is a battle between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu next time, Lu Bu will definitely be defeated. Han Yin still has the confidence in this.

"The Marquis wants the lands of Runan County, Pei State, and Liang State," Lu Bu said.

Han Yin waved his hand and said, "Marquis Wen, the land of the three counties is of great importance, and the later general is definitely not willing to give it up. If you don't want Jiyin County, I can make the decision and promise Peiguo to Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu said: "If that's the case, there's no need to continue the discussion. See off the guests."

Han Yin's complexion kept changing, and he cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Wen, this matter will be reported to the Empress General, and I will wait for the Empress General to make a decision."

"This Marquis only gives you three days. If there is no reply after three days, this Marquis will lead the army to Peiguo." Lu Bu said.

"Here." Han Yin cupped his hands and left.

After leaving Zhoumu Mansion, Han Yin felt a little heavy. The land of the three counties is of great significance to Yuan Shu. Runan County is Yuan Shu's hometown and the place where Yuan Shu made his fortune, and the wealth of Runan County is extraordinary. The counties and counties can be compared.

If Runan County is handed over, Yuan Shu will definitely not agree. Even if it is Peiguo, Yuan Shu does not want to give it to Lu Bu. Once Lv Bu occupies Peiguo, he will be able to threaten the safety of Runan County at any time and put Runan County in a dangerous situation. .

In Yuzhou, Runan County is the most affluent, with a population of more than 200 million. This is a huge number, accounting for a quarter of the population under Yuan Shu's rule. Giving up Runan County will greatly reduce Yuan Shu's strength. damage.

Jiyin County is different. It originally belonged to Yanzhou. The Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in Yanzhou, making life difficult for the people in Yanzhou. Although Yanzhou has gradually stabilized, there is still a gap compared with Yuzhou in terms of background.

After Lu Bu won the war, he definitely needed to get benefits. Otherwise, how could Lu Bu let it go, and handing over Jiyin County can be regarded as calming Lu Bu's anger.

As Han Yin had expected when he came, Lu Bu's ambition was not in Yanzhou but in Yuzhou.

It can be said that Lu Bu saw where Yuan Shu valued the most. Once Yuzhou was captured for Lu Bu, and the three states of Yuzhou, Xuzhou, and Yanzhou were joined together, Lu Bu would become the most powerful prince in the world. Anyone who dared to invade Lu Bu need to be more cautious.

Even at the moment, the princes are trying their best to make friends with Lu Bu instead of offending Lu Bu. After defeating Yuan Shu's army, Lu Bu will have more time to develop his rule. After Yanzhou and Xuzhou are further stabilized, Lu Bu's strength will increase. No matter how promoted he got, any prince must think more carefully before turning his face against Lu Bu.

The First World War established Lu Bu's position among the lords. Even Yuan Shu has a lot of dissatisfaction with this point, and now there is no suitable way. After the war is defeated, he will have to bear the corresponding price. To win the battle.

Yuan Shu wanted to let his subordinates stabilize as soon as possible after the war was over, and to ease the relationship with Lv Bu, but how could Lv Bu make Yuan Shu happy.

Even if there is a big loss under Lu Bu's command, it is possible to attack Yuzhou.

From this point, it can be seen that Lu Bu focused on Yuzhou.

While Han Yin sent people to inform Yuan Shu of the news, he was secretly looking for countermeasures. Lv Bu had many important officials under his command. If these officials interceded, it was very likely that Lv Bu would be prevented from attacking Yuzhou.

In Xuzhou, the most important officials under Lu Bu were Jia Xu, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, Zhang Zhao and others.

Chapter 340

Chen Deng is the prefect of Guangling. He is currently confronting the Jiangdong army in Guangling. Mi Zhu, Zhang Zhao and Jia Xu have become the targets of Han Yin's breakthrough.

In the afternoon of that day, Han Yin prepared generous gifts and went to Biejia Mansion.

Mi Zhu is now a celebrity in Xuzhou, the Mi family is married to Lu Bu, and Mi Zhu is in charge of doing business in the city, although doing business will have a certain impact on Mi Zhu's reputation, who dares to despise Mi Zhu, a businessman nowadays.

Why Xuzhou is getting richer and richer, and even after the war, the foundation of Xuzhou cannot be shaken has a lot to do with Mi Zhu.

In this battle, Yuan Shu led an army from afar. Compared with Xuzhou, there must be a lot of difference in the delivery of food and grass. However, the loss of food and grass in this battle is nothing to Xuzhou. The food and grass that Xuzhou has secretly hoarded , Enough for an army of [-] for two years.

From this point alone, we can see the horror of Xuzhou's background.

When it comes to the investment in the army, there is no one among the princes who can compare with Lu Bu. The camp and the cavalry guards are all equipped with hundreds of refined weapons. In an army duel, the Xuzhou army can form a state of crushing against other armies.

Why the Xuzhou Army was able to block a larger number of enemy attacks on the battlefield has a lot to do with the excellent equipment of the Xuzhou Army officers and soldiers.

Excellent equipment, isn't it a manifestation of strength?

Moreover, under Lu Bu's command, there are still a large number of cavalry. In the Xuzhou army alone, there are [-] cavalry. The purchase of war horses and ordinary consumption are also a huge number.

But Lv Bu was so self-willed, he had more sophisticated equipment, but he was equipped with a large number of war horses, and even the pensions for the fallen soldiers were recognized by the people of Xuzhou.

When Tao Qian governed Xuzhou, he was well-known for his generosity, and he was quite famous. After Lu Bu came to Xuzhou, the cruel Lu Bu in the eyes of outsiders, he did not violate the people more. comparable.

Even if Lu Bu conscripts in the future, the people will not have more resistance, the monarch is sympathetic to the people, and the people will have a supportive attitude towards the monarch.

In the eyes of the people in Xuzhou, the word cruelty should not appear on Lu Bu, because their taxes have not increased. There are many merchants who go to Xuzhou to do business. Through the news brought by these merchants, they can feel that the nearby states Compared with what kind of life the people in the county live, the people in Xuzhou are relatively happy.

That being the case, why did the people rebel against Lu Bu?

Only when Xuzhou develops better and better can the people live a more stable life. The increase of workshops outside the city also increases the source of income for the people, allowing them to have other ways to supplement their household income.

The victory of the war is also talked about by the people of Xuzhou. What they discuss most is the fierce generals in the army. There are ten brave generals in the Xuzhou army. This is the pride of the soldiers in the army and what the people are most happy to hear.

The Ten Valiant Generals are widely circulated in Xuzhou. Among them, the one who inspires the people the most is their monarch, Lu Bu. It is very rare for a general to be a monarch.

Walking on the streets of Pengcheng, Han Yin was filled with emotions. Who would have thought that a person who betrayed Dong Zhuo would achieve such great achievements after coming to Xuzhou.

After the war, Pengcheng was a little barren, which was also in the eyes of Xuzhou officials. In fact, there were many businessmen who went to Pengcheng, especially after the news of Yuan Shu's defeat spread in Xuzhou, many businessmen rushed to Pengcheng.

Han Yin even had a premonition that if this method continues, Lu Bu will become the most terrifying existence among the princes, and even affect the status of more princes.

Compared with Lu Bu's arrogance, Mi Zhu was very polite to Han Yin's arrival.

This made Han Yin feel like a spring breeze, and Mi Zhu was in charge of business all the year round. When he spoke, he was very smooth and not as aggressive as Lu Bu.

"Don't drive, please take care of this matter. If the matter is successful, I will definitely reward you generously." Han Yin cupped his hands.

Mi Zhu cupped his hands and said, "Envoy, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

After Han Yin left, a sneer appeared on the corner of Mi Zhu's mouth. He wanted to get him to intercede, but Mi Zhu would definitely not do that. He wished that Lu Bu could get more benefits from Yuan Shu.

In the past, Yuan Shu's envoys were so rampant, but now they are well-behaved, because Lu Bu led the army to victory. If the person who won this battle becomes Yuan Shu, what will Han Yin do after he comes to the city? Mi Zhu You can imagine it with your eyes closed.

After listening to Mi Zhu's narration, Lu Bu turned his attention to Zhang Zhao, "Zi Bu, Han Yin visited many people in the city, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhang Zhao got up and said, "My lord, from the point of view of my subordinates, Yuan Shu will definitely not agree to hand over Runan County. If he gets Pei and Liang, there is a great possibility."

"Zibu, tell me in detail," Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Runan County is the foundation of Yuan Shu. If Runan County is handed over, half of Yuzhou will fall under the control of the lord. This will have a great impact on Yuan Shu's rule. Runan County has a large population, Yuan Shu attaches great importance to it, and Pei Guo and Liang Guo, even if Yuan Shu lets them out, they will not be injured." Zhang Zhaodao: "Under war, the people live in dire straits. From the point of view of my subordinates, the lord is not as good. Reconcile with Yuan Shu."

Lu Bu nodded, agreeing with Zhang Zhao's words. The reason why he sent a large army to Pei Country was also to pose a threat to Yuan Shu and make Yuan Shu feel the urgency of the situation.

If there is a real war, Lu Bu will definitely be more cautious. The Xuzhou army has paid a lot in this battle. If the relationship between the two sides cannot be handled correctly, more soldiers will be involved in the flames of war. among.
