The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Cheng Yu was quite clear about the situation in Jingzhou. Jingzhou had not experienced many wars, which also made Jingzhou the best refuge in the eyes of aristocratic families.

As a result, there are many talents in Jingzhou, but not many of these talents can be used by Liu Biao.

Among the aristocratic families, there is no shortage of wise people. They took refuge in Jingzhou temporarily to watch the changes in the world situation. If there is a British Lord to appear, these people will definitely go to seek refuge one after another.

As for whether Liu Biao is worthy of their trust, it depends on Liu Biao's future performance.

Cao Cao sighed: "Liu Jingsheng is also a character, why is he so controlled by the Jingzhou family."

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "The Jingzhou family is very powerful. If Liu Biao wants to gain a foothold in Jingzhou, he must rely on the power of the Jingzhou family."

"If this is the case, it will become impossible to occupy more cities from Yuan Shu's hands." Cao Cao said.

"My lord, Liu Jingsheng is not an ordinary person. If Yuan Shu is allowed to develop in Yangzhou and Yuzhou, it will pose a great threat to Jingzhou. Besides, Yuan Shu's defeat in the battle will make people panic in Yangzhou and Yuzhou. There is no shortage of resourceful people in Liu Biao's account. You will definitely understand the reason." Cheng Yu said: "And after Yuan Shu's defeat, Lu Bu will definitely not stop attacking Yuan Shu's rule."

"What do you mean by that?" Cao Cao asked in surprise.

From Cao Cao's point of view, the Xuzhou army's victory in the current battle is already a great thing, and Yuan Shu also made concessions after the failure of this battle. It is said that Lu Bu should try his best to stabilize Xuzhou.

"My lord, Lu Bu is an ambitious man. Yuan Shu led the army to attack Xuzhou, which can be said to have angered Lu Bu. With Lu Bu's character, how could he give up so easily? I'm afraid he made peace with Yuan Shu to make Yuan Shu relax his vigilance." Cheng Yu said slowly.

Cao Cao pondered for a moment and said, "Could it be that Zhongde refers to Jiyin County and Chenliu County?"

"That's right, Jiyin County and Chenliu County are under the rule of Yanzhou. Lu Bu occupies most of Yanzhou. He will definitely not sit back and watch Yuan Shu occupy the two counties. When Yuan Shu relaxes his vigilance, it is very likely that Lu Bu will seize Chenliu County and Ji Yin County completely occupies the land of Yanzhou." Cheng Yu said.

Chapter 344

Cao Cao nodded with a serious face. The relationship between him and Lu Bu can be said to be very bad. Many of his generals died in the hands of Lu Bu. However, in Cao Cao's current situation, wanting to take revenge at the hands of Lu Bu is simply too much. It is still difficult to climb to the sky, even if you gain a foothold in Jingzhou, there are many difficulties.

Originally, Cao Cao still had the heart to seize Yanzhou. Yuan Shu was defeated. Once Liu Biao sent troops to attack Yuan Shu’s rule, he might have a chance to retake Yanzhou. If Lu Bu had thoughts about Chen Liu and Ji Yin, he wanted to compete with Lu Bu. It is even more difficult.

Now, no one dares to underestimate Lu Bu's influence. Even though he is a military general, the methods he displays in battles are awe-inspiring. When fighting Lu Bu, one needs to face the Xuzhou army. massive attack.

After finally being stabilized in Jingzhou, Cao Cao didn't want to compete with Lv Bu for the time being, and it would not be too late to have a fight with Lv Bu when the time came.

The situation of the princes has changed a lot, but Cao Cao still has strong confidence in his own ability, and he believes that he will definitely be able to make a comeback.

Lu Bu, a traitor of the great man, was able to gain a firm foothold in the troubled times, but he wholeheartedly wanted to revitalize the Han Dynasty. If even his loyal courtiers of the great man could not succeed, wouldn't it mean that the great man was coming to an end.

The changes in Chang'an made Cao Cao feel worried, but there was no better way to occupy Chang'an's generals, but there were no simple characters.

If you want to welcome the emperor back, you have to wait for the changes in the current situation. Judging from the current state of the princes, no one wants to welcome the emperor back at this time. Perhaps in the eyes of the princes, the emperor has become an opportunity for them to continue to grow their strength. burden.

Although the court has experienced many turmoil, there are still many officials in the court. Once these officials are under the rule of the princes, what impact will they have on the princes' rule of land.

Although the Great Han has gradually declined, the Great Han that has lasted for hundreds of years has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It is not because of some other means of the princes that can temporarily change it. Perhaps it is because of this that the princes are so secretive about the court.

Even Yuan Shao, the leader of the princes and alliance, after occupying Jizhou, wanted to compete with Gongsun Zan instead of attacking the rebels in Chang'an. Isn't this the tragedy of the great man?

When the princes want to get nominal support, they will think of the Han Dynasty, but the Han Dynasty is in danger, and as a courtier, they cannot support the emperor.

In troubled times, the most important thing is your own strength. If you can't even guarantee your own strength, it is basically impossible to do more. The defeat of Yanzhou and the encounter in Jingzhou have made Cao Cao See understand this.

"In that case, after Jingzhou attacked Yingchuan, I'm afraid they could only attack Runan County and Chen State," Cao Cao said.

Cheng Yu nodded, "Jingzhou's aristocratic families, at this time, want to preserve the power in their hands. They lack aggressiveness. It is already very good for Jingzhou to send troops amidst the turmoil among the princes. Lord's chance."

Cao Cao naturally understood the meaning of Cheng Yu's words, and the feeling of being under the fence is very bad. If Liu Biao wants to pay more attention, the only way is to get more cities so that the army under his command will not be controlled by others.

"I hope Liu Biao and Jingzhou's family can see this." Cao Cao sighed.

The Jingzhou army has started a large-scale mobilization. Yuan Shu's failure on the Xuzhou battlefield, the Jingzhou family saw the opportunity coming. When Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are in a decisive battle, the Jingzhou family will definitely have more careful consideration when doing such a thing. However, Yuan Shu is the most powerful existence among the princes. After offending Yuan Shu, Jingzhou will fall into even greater turmoil.

It is undeniable that the existence of Yuan Shu has posed a great threat to Jingzhou, and from the series of actions of Yuan Shu, the officials of Jingzhou can feel Yuan Shu's ambition. In the case of damage, there is still a lot to do.

The confrontation between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu was beyond everyone's expectations, but after Yuan Shu's defeat, the situation for Jingzhou is still relatively good, and it will be even better if more cities can be captured from Yuan Shu's hands.

And Yuan Shao also sent his counselor Jushou to Jingzhou immediately after learning of Yuan Shu's failure, in order to persuade Liu Biao to send troops.

With Yuan Shao as support, Jingzhou's family is relieved a lot. If Yuan Shu is strong, even with Yuan Shao's secret persuasion, Jingzhou's officials will be more cautious. What kind of turmoil, Jingzhou officials are very clear.

It is extremely difficult for the family behind him to have a stable living environment in troubled times.

After discussing repeatedly with the officials under his command, Liu Biao decided to send troops to attack the land of Yingchuan. This was the beginning of Liu Biao's growing strength.

In order to attack Yingchuan, Liu Biao directly mobilized [-] troops and stationed in Nanyang County.

The changes in the situation in Jingzhou made the officials under Yuan Shu feel the great danger. For a while, the officials in Yingchuan County were all in danger. After Yuan Shu failed, it was a huge challenge for Yuan Shu to form a situation against Liu Biao. However, if Yuan Shu could not defeat the Jingzhou army, it would mean the fall of Yingchuan, and even Runan County and Chen State would be in danger.

Originally, Yuan Shu was a powerful vassal, but after his failure on the Xuzhou battlefield, Yuan Shu fell into a dangerous situation. Once Yingchuan County and Chen Guo were captured by Liu Biao, the city occupied by Yuan Shu in Yanzhou would become a rootless duckweed .

After Liu Biao and Lu Bu divided Yuzhou, Yuan Shu was the one who suffered the most damage. It is still unknown whether Yuan Shu can recover from this blow.

The powerful Yuan Shu has to face many dangers.

Xuzhou, Lu Bu smiled when he heard the news that Jingzhou sent troops. When Yuan Shu attacked Xuzhou, Jingzhou did not move. After more cities, there will be more help for Liu Biao's future development, and this is what Lu Bu wants to see most.

In fact, Lu Bu wanted Liu Biao to take more benefits from Yuan Shu's hands, and it would be better if the situation between the two sides could not end. From Lu Bu's point of view, Liu Biao was much easier to deal with than Yuan Shu.

In terms of means and courage, Liu Biao's influence under the rule is still far behind that of Yuan Shu, and this will also become a big obstacle to Liu Biao's development.

Chapter 345 Want to Form a Navy Army

Lu Bu was well aware of Liu Biao's set of balancing strategies in Jingzhou. If this method of action was put in place when the big man was stable, it would be easy to say that Liu Biao would become a capable official. However, when the big man was in turmoil, You need to have more control over your subordinates.

After Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, he did not make any more adjustments to the civil servants, but the military strength of the counties and counties was basically controlled by Lu Bu, which formed a deterrent to the Xuzhou family. If you are in a hurry, these families will also face huge disasters.

Therefore, Xuzhou is currently at least stable on the surface, and the victories in battles have also made Lu Bu's prestige in Xuzhou more and more powerful. There are also more and more families who secretly express their loyalty to Lu Bu. The situation is exactly what Lu Bu wanted to see.

In the past, the reason why Xuzhou had people who resisted his rule in the dark was because his strength was not strong enough. When his strength reached the point where Xuzhou's aristocratic families were in awe, these families would obediently follow behind him.

The Patriarch of any family is shrewd, they will not sit idly by and let the opportunity to grow the family slip away, if possible, they will definitely move closer to the monarch.

At the beginning, the Xuzhou family could not see hope from Lu Bu, but the situation is different now. After defeating Yuan Shu, Lu Bu has a greater reputation among the princes. If he wants to fight against Lu Bu, he must have More thinking, a little carelessness, the family will be in danger of falling.

"Wenhe, now that Sun Ce has retreated from Guangling and the situation in Xuzhou has stabilized again, when is it appropriate for our army to capture Chenliu and Jiyin counties?" Lu Bu asked.

Jia Xu pondered for a moment and said: "My lord, Jiyin County and Chenliu County are currently under the rule of Yuan Shu, and although Yuan Shu has formed an alliance with our army, he will definitely be on guard against Yanzhou. Now my lord has not dispatched the army to return to Yanzhou. Yuan Shu felt relieved, and once the Jingzhou army attacked Yingchuan County, it would definitely cause Yuan Shu's rule to be in turmoil, and even Chenliu County and Jiyin County would be affected. At that time, the lord will take the land of the two counties from Yuan Shu in one fell swoop. best time."

"Wen He's words are very true. Feng Xiao, now that our army has occupied Pei and Liang, you go secretly to Yanzhou and wait for the opportunity. After handling Xuzhou's affairs, this Marquis will also quietly go to Yanzhou." Lu Bu said.

Guo Jia bowed his hands and said yes.

After Zhang Zhao, Mi Zhu and others heard about Lu Bu's next plan, they were also excited. The stronger the monarch's strength, the more benefits they could get from following the monarch.

Even Zhang Zhao's purpose of seeking refuge with Lu Bu is the same. He doesn't want his family to suffer turmoil in the troubled times, and it is the dream of many family members to have a stable development of the family, but Lu Bu cut off his idea of ​​leading the people into Jiangdong .

Now it seems that it was precisely because of Lu Bu that Jiangdong sent troops to attack Guangling when Xuzhou was in crisis. This offended Lu Bu completely. Otherwise, it would not fit Lu Bu's character.

At this time, Jiangdong's family must have many worries. Although the Yangtze River can block soldiers and horses from Xuzhou, such a barrier also has certain restrictions. Who can be sure that Xuzhou can't train a large number of sailors.

It should be noted that Guangling had a navy before. When Lu Bu paid more attention to Jiangdong, it was the time when Jiangdong was in turmoil.

And Lu Bu's ability to lead the army to fight has been recognized by the major families in Xuzhou. From Lu Bu, they saw the hope of the rise of the family. After his strength has been further improved, even other princes need to be more cautious when they say something. If Lu Bu is offended by this, it will definitely not be a good thing for some princes.

A powerful figure like Yuan Shu was defeated in the confrontation with Lu Bu, let alone other princes.

After Xuzhou experienced this war, it will be more stable. After obtaining Pei Guo and Liang Guo, Pengcheng's stability will be greatly guaranteed.

The key point is that Xuzhou's family has gained a lot of benefits from such changes. When Lu Bu occupies more cities, someone must go to govern them, and these talents are mostly from various families. .

Lu Bu's strong victory made the officials in Xuzhou cheer, and their confidence in Lu Bu also increased accordingly.

"My lord, Guangling is close to Sun Ce in the east of the Yangtze River, so the defense of Guangling should be strengthened," Zhang Zhao said.

Lu Bu nodded, "Guangling's defense is of great importance, but Xuzhou has just stabilized. After this war is completely subsided, it will not be too late to expand the strength of Guangling's army. This Marquis wants to form a navy team in Guangling." , you will pay more attention in the future to see if there are any talents in the training of the navy."

"Here." Everyone said in unison.

"The victory of this battle is due to all of you, and I will reward you for your merits." Lu Bu laughed.

Lu Bu felt something different when the officials under his rule did things normally. This is what made Lu Bu quite satisfied. It can be seen that after each victory, the officials under his rule had more confidence in dealing with him. , which is a good place to start.

The atmosphere in the mansion was much more relaxed than when Lu Bu and Yuan Shu led the army to confront each other.

Lu Bu led the army to fight, and the relatives in the mansion were naturally worried, especially when the war broke out in Guangling, they must have deep worries.

Fortunately, it was Lu Bu who won the battle.

Naturally, Lu Bu could feel the feelings of his relatives in the mansion. Every time he returned to the mansion, Lu Bu would not discuss with them what happened in the city or in the army. He also wanted to give them a relatively relaxed environment. Besides, the war has already been won Victory, the family has no need to worry.

"Husband, I heard about your bravery on the battlefield, leading hundreds of cavalry, and dared to attack the enemy's central army." Mi Zhen said.

Lu Bu laughed and said, "A mere enemy army is nothing."

Yan Yu scolded: "Husband, sister Zhen'er means that it is a very dangerous move for you to lead hundreds of cavalry to attack the enemy."

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "Now that the war has been won, that is the most worth celebrating. Where is Lingqi?"

Chapter 346 Ask Husband to Punish

Seeing that Lu Bu did not have any kind of guarantee on this matter, Yan Yu and Mi Zhen sighed secretly. It is indeed their pride to have such a husband, but they do not want Lu Bu to charge the battlefield. It is best that Lu Bu can avoid the danger of every war. occur.

But in many cases, Yan Yu and others also understood that Lu Bu did this to let his family live a stable life.

If Xuzhou falls into greater turmoil, not only the people of Xuzhou will be hurt, but also Lu Bu's relatives.

Normally, Lu Bu would not show such emotions, but Yan Yu and others could feel that Lu Bu attached great importance to his family, and following such a loving and righteous husband was also something a woman should be proud of.

"Father, father." Seeing Lu Bu returning to the mansion, Lingqi came forward cheerfully, "Congratulations to father on his triumphant return."

Lu Bu bent down to hug Lingqi and said, "Lingqi's little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."

Lingqi said sternly: "It's because Lingqi is studying with Aunt Zhen'er."

"Reading?" Lu Bu asked.

Lingqi nodded and said: "Yes, Aunt Zhen'er is a very capable person."

Mi Zhen blushed pretty and said: "Husband, this concubine makes her own decisions, please punish me."

"It's okay, but Lingqi likes to read?" This is what puzzled Lu Bu the most. In his memory, Lingqi's favorite thing was dancing spears and sticks.

Lingqi said obediently: "Lingqi likes reading."

"Okay, as long as you like it, learn more from Zhen'er in the future." Lu Bu laughed.

Yan Yu looked at Lu Bu again with some dissatisfaction. In this era, women seldom read and practice calligraphy. Perhaps only women from some big families can enjoy this kind of treatment. Ordinary people don’t say that they study and practice calligraphy. Even if they can guarantee food and clothing, it is already very good Besides, books are not accessible to ordinary people.

Books are the most precious thing in this era. Without books, it would be impossible to become a scholar and enter the officialdom. And these books are in the hands of aristocratic families, and they will not easily Take out these books.

Even if they are lent to others, they will be returned soon. The easiest way for students who have borrowed books is to copy the contents of the books.

The fact that Lingqi followed Mi Zhen to read and write made Lu Bu think of the difficulty of ordinary people in this era in wanting to read, and the aristocratic and wealthy families who control the books seem to be the top figures of this era. There is a steady stream of talents.

"Father, will Lingqi be able to read and write in the future?" Lingqi asked in surprise.

Lu Bu feigned anger and said, "You haven't said anything about it, you have already started to study."

"Thank you father, thank you father." Lingqi thanked repeatedly.

Yan Yu, Mi Zhen and Xiu'er also really felt Lu Bu's love for Lingqi, as if Lu Bu would never refuse anything Lingqi wanted.

This also made Mi Zhen feel more urgent, she also wanted a child.

That night, Lu Bu was in Yan Yu's room.

After the rain broke away, Yan Yu's face was reddish, and she was very beautiful. Although Yan Yu's age was much older than that of Xiu'er and Mi Zhen, there was a mature charm in Yan Yu's body, and this The charm of the novel is something that Mi Zhen and Xiu'er do not possess.

Yan Yu's appearance is also very good. After successive battles, Lu Bu did not have the opportunity to get close to his wives, and the war started again in the room.

"Husband, the matter of sister Xiu'er should be put on the agenda as soon as possible, right?" Yan Yu asked in a low voice.

Lu Bu nodded and said, "The time agreed with Xiu'er has not arrived yet."

"My concubine also wants to let the Lu family flourish as soon as possible." Yan Yu explained.

"That's easy, don't you still have Yu'er and Zhen'er." Lu Bu laughed.

Hearing this, Yan Yu hid in Lu Bu's arms. The two battles had already made Yan Yu overwhelmed.
