The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

"Here." The people present said one after another.

Gunpowder is a sharp weapon in the Xuzhou army. Even ordinary personal guards can see what kind of role such a sharp weapon can play in a war. They are the personal guards around Lu Bu, and the choice of every personal guard It is also extremely strict, and they naturally understand whether a matter should be spread to the outside world.

"Strive to develop more powerful gunpowder, and I will reward you when the time comes." Lu Bu laughed.

After Lu Bu left, the craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop were also inexplicably excited. The reward that Lu Bu personally said would definitely not be small in amount. The most envious of these craftsmen was Li Fu. From a craftsman to a county Ling, this is something unimaginable by many craftsmen.

Li Fu smiled and said: "Now I can be regarded as a craftsman with an official position. As long as you work hard, you will get such rewards sooner or later. In this county, there are not only county magistrates, but also masters, county magistrates, etc. Wei or something, maybe it belongs to you."

Although it was a joke, it made the craftsmen inexplicably excited. In normal times, even if they saw an ordinary official, they would have to be respectful. Now, Li Fu has become the county magistrate, which allows them to find the direction of their efforts , Even if you can't become a county magistrate, it is good to be a small official, and this is something that makes the family feel honored.

Besides, as long as you gain a foothold in the craftsman's workshop, you can give your family close to the craftsman's workshop. This is also to ensure that when the craftsman is loyal, no news about the craftsman's workshop will be leaked.

With the further development of Xuzhou, many princes turned their attention to the Xuzhou craftsman's workshop. They knew that there must be something extraordinary in the Xuzhou craftsman's workshop. Standing among the princes.

And the things made in the craftsman's workshop are also flocking to the princes. Among them, the hundred-refined weapon most affects their hearts. It is definitely exciting for ordinary generals to get a hundred-refined weapon. In the Xuzhou Army, as long as the soldiers can perform well in the assessment, they will be rewarded with a hundred refined weapons. What a hand.

If other princes follow the example of the Xuzhou army, although the strength of the soldiers in the army can be raised to a higher level, the consumption caused by such a reward standard is unbearable for them.

What the princes dare to affirm is that the Xuzhou craftsman workshop will not consume too much when forging the hundred-refined weapon, and they are helpless in such a matter. Who let the forging method of the hundred-refined weapon be controlled by Lu Bu? hands.

It's not that if you get a hundred-refined weapon, you can imitate it.

The forging of Hundred Refined Weapons requires technology as a support.

"My lord, if this sharp weapon is used in the future, the general must be present." Xu Chu said in a low voice.

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Yes."

Xu Chu began to fantasize about killing the enemy with a sharp weapon on the battlefield. Lu Bu has such a sharp weapon in his hand, which also makes Xu Chu have a higher fighting spirit. How powerful it will be if you put this kind of thing into the enemy army.

However, Lu Bu felt that it was insufficient. He only had gunpowder, and it was difficult to throw the gunpowder farther away. Should he rely on the sergeants to throw the gunpowder into the enemy's formation?

If the amount is too small, the effect will not be shocking enough, and if the amount is too large, it will be difficult to throw a longer distance, which requires a device as a substitute.

Suddenly, Lu Bu thought of one thing, and that was a catapult. As long as he could make a catapult, why not throw the gunpowder farther away.

Lu Bu knew the general shape of the catapult, but it must be very difficult for him to draw it in detail, or order craftsmen to make it.

The overall strength of the craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop is not weak, but there is still a lack of craftsmen in making equipment. Among the craftsmen making equipment, Lu Bu found no particularly outstanding people.

After returning to the mansion, Lu Bu immediately sent an order to Wang Yue to summon the people from Jubao Pavilion.

In the past, Jubao Pavilion did not have much connection with the State Shepherd's Mansion, but now the two parties are in a cooperative relationship, and Lu Bu is the monarch of one party, so naturally he cannot go to Jubao Pavilion in person.

With the victory in this battle, Lu Bu's position among the princes has been completely stabilized. Jubao Pavilion also needs to be more careful when cooperating with Lu Bu.

The cooperation is based on mutual needs. Jubao Pavilion has something for Lu Bu, and Lu Bu wants to get more forging methods for sharp weapons from Momen.

After the start of the Xuzhou war, Momen and Baiyilou under the command of Wang Yue made many contributions in the city.

The enemies hidden in the dark have wiped out a lot for both of them.

After many investigations, Lu Bu was able to confirm that Yuan Shu had many connections with the Black Clothes Pavilion, and it was even possible that the Black Clothes Pavilion was following Yuan Shu's orders.

Eliminating the Black Clothes Pavilion as soon as possible is also a top priority for Lu Bu. He has great confidence in his own skills, but can his relatives protect themselves when facing assassins? These assassins, in order to achieve The end does not justify the means.

Only when these enemies hidden in the dark are completely wiped out, Lu Bu will feel more at ease.

"Marquis Wen, come directly to Lu." Wang Yue stepped forward and said in a low voice.

Lv Bu nodded slightly. Recently, Wang Yue was very attentive in doing things, which was also what Lv Bu was quite satisfied with. However, Lv Bu also knew that the reason why Wang Yue was like this was because he saw hope in him.

Chapter 350

If Lu Bu's strength becomes stronger, it will have many benefits for Wang Yue. Following behind a powerful monarch will gain more fame and even more power.

The reason why Wang Yue took refuge in Lu Bu was that he didn't want to wander around the rivers and lakes. He wanted to gain more power, become a person with power in his hands, and let those aristocratic families who looked down on him in the past see how powerful he is.

Now, Lu Bu has won a big victory against Yuan Shu, which makes Wang Yue very excited.

The Yuan family of four generations and three princes, at the beginning, had a lot of cynicism and ridicule about his identity.

"What happened to the assassins under Commander Wang?" Lu Bu asked.

"It's worth using." Wang Yue said confidently.

Lu Bu said, "I'll talk to you in detail after the Marquis talks with Lu Zhi."

"This subordinate understands." Wang Yue cupped his hands and left.

Wang Yue also knows the identity of the people in Jubao Pavilion, and it is best not to be around when the monarch is discussing things. Now that Lu Bu is a prince with great power in his hands, he has the power of life and death over the subjects under his rule. If you are not careful when doing ordinary things, you will most likely be the one who suffers in the end.

In any case, Wang Yue has also been in the court. For some things, he behaves more wisely. Even if he has credit, he should not show off in front of the monarch. Keeping a low profile is an important foundation for better development.

Lu Bu was very satisfied with Wang Yue's performance. Wang Yue was a sharp sword hidden in the dark, capable of eradicating hidden enemies for him. If such characters were used well, they could be worth thousands of troops.

Just as Wang Yue left, Lu Zhi knocked on the door and entered. From Lu Zhi's expression, Lu Bu felt joy. Also, the fighting power displayed by the Xuzhou Army in the battle against Yuan Shu was extremely terrifying. With the Xuzhou Army as a partner , it is definitely of great significance to the Momen force that Lu Zhi belongs to.

And the cooperation between Lu Bu and Momen has never stopped. If Momen wants to get more benefits from Lu Bu, they must pay something that makes Lu Bu's heart move. Momen is also clear about this point. If Momen wants to revitalize, or even recombine the power of the three Momen, it is bound to choose to cooperate with the princes.

The Momen force that currently chooses Yuan Shu must be more cautious. The relationship between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu has entered a bad level. Lu Bu is just looking for an opportunity, as long as there is a suitable time, the people of Momen believe that Lu Bu will make a move without hesitation.

The benefits of cooperating with Lu Bu are self-evident. Of course, only when Lu Bu becomes stronger will it be in the interests of Momen.

It was actually an accident that Lu Zhi's Momen force cooperated with Lu Bu. Who would have thought that Lu Bu could rise in a short period of time after taking control of Xuzhou. It must be known that Lu Bu had the reputation of being a big man and rebellious at the beginning.

It was under such circumstances that Lu Bu became a vassal whose strength should not be underestimated. At the critical moment of Lu Bu, the Momen gave support, which made the cooperation between the two parties more possible.

However, all the power of the Momen must be thinking of integrating the Momen, so that the power of the Momen can be regrouped, and the Momen can be restored to its former glory.

And cooperating with one of the princes will allow them to achieve their goals as soon as possible. After all, although the current Han Dynasty is similar to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, there is still a big difference. , counted as an alternative.

"I've met Marquis Wen." Lu Zhi clasped his fists and said.

Lu Bu nodded slightly and said, "Please sit down."

"For Your Excellency to come here today, there is one thing that needs to be asked of Momen."

Lu Zhi couldn't help but straighten his body. In the past, when he heard that Lu Bu had conditions, he would definitely want to benefit from Lu Bu, but the situation is different now. If Lu Bu owes Momen more, the future cooperation between the two will be even closer.

Lu Bu naturally felt the change of the people of Momen, "I don't know if you have heard of the stone catapult."

Lu Zhi nodded. The catapult is considered to be an extremely powerful existence in terms of equipment in Momen. The main reason is that the current princes of the Han Dynasty do not have the production method of the catapult, which also highlights the value of the catapult. , and Lu Bu is able to know the catapult, obviously he has done a lot of work in this area.

"Benhou wants to learn how to build a catapult. I don't know if there is a chance for further cooperation with Momen with Benhou's current strength?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Lu Zhi said sternly: "Wenhou and Momen are in a cooperative relationship. Since this is the case, Momen will spare no effort to help Wenhou. I hope that Wenhou will not forget the credit of Momen in the future."

Lu Bu said: "Don't worry, Your Excellency, I am a man of my word. Since I have made a promise to Momen, I will not violate it."

Lu Zhi nodded. In fact, he still had a lot of doubts about Lu Bu's character, which can be seen from Lu Bu's past behavior. As far as the door is concerned, it is more helpful.

And Lu Bu's help to the Momen will gradually become prominent.

The three forces of the Mo Sect will definitely be cautious in the process of cooperating with the princes. If not, why there is no sharp weapon in Yuan Shu's army? Watch to see if Yuan Shu is worthy of their further investment.

"If the Mo sect has any needs in the future, this Marquis will not stand idly by," Lu Bu said.

"Okay, after I go back next time, I will order someone to send the method of making the catapult." Lu Zhi said: "The Momen does have something that needs the help of Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu signaled Lu Zhi to continue. At present, the cooperation between the two sides is still good, and Lu Bu is willing to continue to cooperate with Momen. At that time, with Momen behind him as an auxiliary force, there will be no shortage of sharp weapons in the army. It is also what Lu Bu is quite yearning for.

Of course, the forging method of hundreds of refined weapons and the method of making gunpowder in Lu Bu's hands are definitely the envy of the Momen.

However, people in Momen must be sensible. They know that if some conditions are raised, the cooperation between the two parties will definitely be affected. It is still necessary to maintain the current relationship as much as possible.

"The Mo Sect wants to establish a foothold in Xuzhou. There are still many free places in Yingshan. I wonder if Marquis Wen can order someone to give the Mo Sect a place to live." Lu Zhi said.

Chapter 351 Bringing Sun Ce's Head to Benhou

Lu Bu pondered for a while, and then agreed, "Since the two parties are cooperating, I must show sincerity. What kind of needs does the Momen have in this regard? The artisan workshop under Hou Zhi is much more stable."

"Thank you, Marquis Wen." Lu Zhi cupped his hands.

After leaving the State Shepherd's Mansion, Lu Zhi's mood relaxed a lot. The order from above made Lu Zhi understand that the power of the Momen obviously wanted to carry out in-depth cooperation with Lu Bu. The production method is given to Lu Bu's sake.

And living in Yingshan will also make Lu Bu feel more at ease. Sometimes when negotiating conditions with the monarch, there is no need to talk about the sincerity of cooperation. Lu Zhi believes that Lu Bu can see that Momen is helping him. What an effort.

Momen is the power that Lu Bu valued. This is also the power that he secretly cannot be underestimated when he competes with the princes. The further cooperation with Momen shows that Momen attaches great importance to the power he controls. This shows that Lu Bu is in the battle. After Yuan Shu's victory, the people of the Mo Sect had to be more cautious.

If you want to get something, you have to learn to give. People in Momen obviously understand this point, and it will be easier to cooperate with smart people.

However, Lu Bu is also on guard against the power of the Mo Sect. It is really terrifying that Mo Sect's Juzi is missing and still controls so many sharp weapons. If the power of the Mo Sect is integrated What kind of influence does it have.

It's just that the power of the swordsmen controlled by the Momen in the dark cannot be underestimated. Lu Bu also has a deep understanding of the strength of the Momen swordsmen.

Sometimes, Momen can do things that are difficult for Lu Bu to control, so people have to be cautious.

However, Lu Bu is confident that the strength of his subordinates will surpass that of the Momen. The Momen is strong, but only in the initial stage. When Lu Bu has more control over his subordinates, Lu Bu's strength will make the Momen feel fearful. of.

"Marquis Wen." Just as Lu Zhi left, Wang Yue walked into the room.

"Commander Wang, what this Marquis asked you to do is to go to Jiangdong, and you will personally lead the elite assassins there." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

Wang Yue's heart moved, and he instantly understood Lu Bu's intentions. When Xuzhou was in turmoil, Sun Ce led the Jiangdong Army to attack Guangling. Just this kind of behavior is unforgivable. Now that Lu Bu won the battle against Yuan Shu, how could he forget? Sun Ce's actions at the critical moment in Xuzhou.

"The humble post takes orders." Wang Yue said.

Lu Bu said: "After going to Jiangdong, look for an opportunity. If the time is right, bring Sun Ce's head to the Marquis. A mere Sun Ce dares to be so presumptuous in front of the Marquis."

"This subordinate understands." Wang Yue cupped his hands.

"Go to Jiangdong now, be careful, Benhou is waiting for your good news in Xuzhou."

Wang Yue's heart was a little heavy. Going to Jiangdong to assassinate Sun Ce must be accompanied by many risks, but from Lu Bu's words, he felt a firm decision. Talent has a higher status in the mind of the monarch, otherwise, how can the monarch value it.

Going to Jiangdong is a huge challenge for Wang Yue, and it is also an opportunity for Wang Yue to make his mark.

Once the assassination is successful, Wang Yue will definitely have a greater reputation among the princes. Assassination, perhaps in the eyes of some people, is not an aboveboard method, but what Wang Yue needs is the fear of the princes, and what he needs is to show in front of Lu Bu Give enough value.

Since taking refuge in Lu Bu, Wang Yue has not slackened in the slightest, and Wang Yue can also feel that Lu Bu is on guard against him. Otherwise, why would Lu Bu train an elite army in secret.

To get the attention of the monarch is of great significance to Wang Yue.

After returning to the residence, Wang Yue immediately summoned the most elite swordsmen under his command. They will rush to Jiangdong in the next time to secretly inquire about the news and provide opportunities for Wang Yue's next attack.

The existence of Sun Ce is not a small threat in Lu Bu's view. If Sun Ce is eradicated, Jiangdong will fall into temporary chaos, which will also have many benefits for Lu Bu.

Sun Ce's career in Jiangdong can only be said to have just started, and he has to rely on Yuan Shu's support to survive in Jiangdong. However, when the Jiangdong army led by Sun Ce attacked Guangling, its strength was not weak. Sun Ce has more time to develop, and he is bound to grow into a formidable enemy.

When Sun Ce has not yet grown up, it is absolutely necessary to eradicate Sun Ce.

After explaining the matter of Xuzhou, Lu Bu began to secretly plan to seize Chenliu County, Jiyin County, and even Runan County. With a sharp weapon like gunpowder in hand, he can attack the city. Break through the enemy's defenses with a thunderbolt.

And this kind of method, used properly, will give Lu Bu greater benefits in the battle.

For Runan County, Lu Bu is extremely coveted. Although Runan County is a county, it is the most affluent county in Yuzhou with the most cities. Its population exceeds 200 million people. After that, the strength will be further improved.

After taking Runan County from Yuan Shu's hands, it will be a big blow to Yuan Shu. Runan is Yuan Shu's hometown, and Yuan Shu also attaches great importance to Runan. This is why Yuan Shu objected when Lu Bu proposed to claim Runan County. .

Judging from the current overall situation, it is definitely of great benefit to Lu Bu.

The officials in Xuzhou also seemed a little excited. They were eager for Lu Bu to achieve greater achievements. If so, they followed Lu Bu and the family would achieve greater development.

If in the past, there were still many families who were secretly dissatisfied with Lu Bu, now they definitely dare not express such emotions. Lu Bu's strength is too terrifying, and it has fundamentally affected the survival of some families in Xuzhou. .

However, when Lu Bu treated the aristocratic family, he did not act like Liu Biao's warm wind and drizzle, but thunderous methods. Lu Bu has never been soft on officials and families who resisted him. It is precisely because of this that Xuzhou The family of Yuan Shu did not dare to make any changes when Yuan Shu led troops to invade Xuzhou. They were afraid that some actions would touch Lu Bu's bottom line and bring disaster to the family.

Facts have proved that there is a certain reason for the cautiousness of these families.

Chapter 352 Shameless Liu Biao

Lu Bu led the Xuzhou army to defeat Yuan Shu. For the time being, there are no princes around who can affect Lu Bu's position in Xuzhou.

Xuzhou has many things that attract businessmen. With these businessmen coming, Xuzhou will achieve faster development.

Xuzhou was the place of the Fourth World War, but it is such a place that shines brightly under Lu Bu's rule. Most of Yanzhou, Liang Guo and Pei Guo were brought under Lu Bu's command. Now Xuzhou has to face the threats of Jiangdong Army and Qingzhou Army , There is no power to shake Lu Bu's rule in Xuzhou.

Absolute strength, sometimes the benefits are incalculable.
