The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

When Chen Gong and Guo Jia heard the words, they showed pensive expressions on their faces. Both of them were intelligent people. After a little thought, they understood Lu Bu's intentions. Sometimes, it wasn't that Lu Bu didn't want to punish these betrayed families, but Once punished, the impact will be too great. The Jingzhou army is fighting on the battlefield in Yingchuan. If Lu Bu makes people in Yanzhou panic at this time, wouldn't the Jingzhou army see an opportunity.

Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han family, and he is famous all over the world. He has a certain influence among the family. If the Jingzhou army wins, they may turn their attention to Yanzhou. As a monarch, even if you are angry, sometimes you have to suppress your inner anger and consider issues from a higher perspective.

"Burn all these letters, let the past go, and if something like this happens in the future, nothing will be left behind," Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

The officials in the arena were stunned for a moment, and they all said yes, some officials took the opportunity to wipe the sweat from their foreheads, and looked at Lu Bu with more awe.

Glancing at the officials in the field, Lu Bu could feel their relaxed mood, and after such a thing happened, these officials would definitely not dare to have other thoughts. These are exactly what Lu Bu needs, and punishment is sometimes needed , but forgiveness can also be of great help.

After everyone left, Chen Gong cupped his hands and said, "My lord's measure is beyond the reach of ordinary people. After this incident, the officials of Yanzhou must be in awe of my lord and dare not disobey my orders."

"I hope so, but if there are officials who don't know how to repent while waiting here, there is no need for the public to take action." Lu Bu said.

"This subordinate understands." Chen Gong said.

The counties and counties in Yanzhou are now under the jurisdiction of the State Shepherd's Mansion. This is a gratifying thing for the officials in Yanzhou, especially when Lv Bu was in the most difficult time, the officials who were still on Lv Bu's side also gained a lot. Many, the talents recommended by their family got a stage to display their talents in Chenliu County and Jiyin County.

In fact, many families have discovered that it is not a very depressing thing to follow Lu Bu. The main reason is that Lu Bu often wins on the battlefield. Yuan Shu, who is famous all over the world, was defeated by Lu Bu. Who else can stop Lu Bu's rise.

The family closely following Lu Bu has benefited greatly from the turmoil in Yanzhou this time, which makes many families envious, but they know that if they want to get it, they must learn to give.

Otherwise, not only would it be difficult for their families to develop, but they would even be in danger of extinction.

"The candidates for Chenliu's prefect and Jiyin's prefect must be cautious, especially Chenliu's prefect, which is of great importance." Lu Bu warned.

Chen Gong nodded and said: "My lord's words are true. Chenliu County is close to Yingchuan. Whether it is the Jingzhou Army that captures Yingchuan or Yuan Shu continues to occupy Yingchuan County, it will pose a threat to Chenliu County."

"Now that Yanzhou has calmed down for the time being, Wen Yuan, in your opinion, how appropriate is Yanzhou's conscription?" Lu Bu turned his attention to Zhang Liao.

Lu Bu fully agrees with Zhang Liao's abilities. If there were more generals like Zhang Liao under his command, Lu Bu would not need to worry more about guarding Chenliu County. When Zhang Liao was in Taishan County in the past, he took care of Taishan County. Not bad.

Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and cupped his fists and said, "My lord, from the point of view of the general, Yanzhou has [-] troops, which is enough to deal with it."

Lu Bu nodded slightly. The 5 army is a standing army. Including the defenders of the counties and counties in Yanzhou, the number of troops will reach [-]. Once a war breaks out, it is not to be underestimated to gather all the troops together. underestimated.

"The number of soldiers in the general has increased to [-], and Wen Yuan will be responsible for the training." Lu Bu said.

"Here." Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said, now he has grown into the most famous general under Lu Bu's command, even if he is placed among the princes, he still has a certain reputation.

And this is also due to Lv Bu's reuse. Zhang Liao can feel that since Lv Bu left Dong Zhuo, he has no trust and respect for him and Gao Shun before. Although Cao Xing, Wei Xu and others have also been appointed, In terms of status in the army, the gap with the two is somewhat obvious.

This also shows that Lu Bu will have more thinking when appointing generals, and will not make decisions based on his own likes and dislikes.

Such a monarch has a lot to do. If the monarch does things based on his likes and dislikes, there will not be too many problems when the rule is not large. man of.

"Yanzhou can be said to be a waste of time, and needs a lot of talents. The affairs of the public platform must be done well. As long as the scholars from all over the country come to seek refuge, they can be appointed after proper consideration." Lu Bu said.

Chen Gong said yes, Lu Bu's reputation among the princes was not very good, which also caused many literati to be unwilling to come to Lu Bu's rule at all, but the literati who used to rely on Lu Bu have now been appointed, as long as they Being able to show enough ability and go to a higher position, when the princes underestimated Lu Bu, they had to admit that Lu Bu was powerful.

Now, Lu Bu has become the most powerful prince in the south. Even Yuan Shu dare not compete with Lu Bu at this time. Of course, Liu Biao in Jingzhou has [-] soldiers, which is a force that cannot be underestimated. Needless to say, Lu Bu's strength will improve after the situation stabilizes.

The [-] Xuzhou army was able to win against Yuan Shu's [-] army, which is definitely eye-catching.

The pattern of Lu Bu's army has been understood by the princes. Although it will not have an advantage in numbers, the Xuzhou army pursues a strategy of elite soldiers, and what is needed is elite soldiers, not more soldiers. Such a move has advantages and disadvantages. .

The advantage is that even if there is a brutal war, the soldiers in the army will not retreat easily. They will do their best to fulfill the orders of the generals. They will have tenacity and an indomitable momentum.

The downside is that the number of soldiers is a bit small, and the two armies face each other. Sometimes, the superiority in numbers cannot be ignored.

Chapter 376 Runan County

For example, when attacking a city, the side with the city wall as its backing must have a greater advantage. Even elite soldiers and strong generals will inevitably suffer more losses when attacking.

Why didn't Lu Bu take this into consideration, but Lu Bu didn't intend to change this strategy. Now that Yanzhou and Xuzhou have temporarily stabilized, it's time for development, and the money and food needed are also a lot. The number of troops has been increased too quickly If this is not the case, it will inevitably bring greater pressure to the counties and counties.

Besides, when Lu Bu formed the army, he had principles, but all the soldiers in the army must be elite. If even this cannot be guaranteed, how can they be expected to do more on the battlefield.

In terms of investment in the army, Lu Bu has achieved a level that other princes could not even imagine. Just the accumulation of rewards from the examination of the lieutenant officers and soldiers is also a huge fortune. Besides, the value of a hundred-refined weapon is even higher than that of a war horse. Much more expensive.

Even some generals of other princes envied the equipment of Lu Bu's army, but who let Lu Bu control the forging method of Hundred Refined Weapons?

Now the most attractive thing to the princes is the method used by Lu Bu when he led the army to break through Chenliu County, which can directly break through the enemy's city gate. What kind of method was used?

If Lu Bu has mastered such a sharp weapon, they need to be more careful when they fight with Lu Bu in the future. When the defenders lose their advantage in the city, they need to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy to stop the enemy's attack. Big price.

At these times, the princes also realized that Lu Bu's methods were not as simple as they thought. As a general, standing among the princes, how much effort Lu Bu put in, and how much unknown behind all this It's sad.

But Lu Bu grew up step by step in the environment where the princes denounced, and led the lieutenant soldiers to support a world.

Such princes are also terrifying. If anyone chooses to fight against Lu Bu in the future, he must be more cautious.

During his stay in Yanzhou for several days, Lu Bu has been paying attention to the affairs of Yingchuan and Runan.

Runan County is the most affluent county in Yuzhou, with a population of more than 200 million. Just from these populations, you can see the prosperity of Yuzhou. Moreover, Yuzhou occupies a lot of cities, accounting for less than half of the entire Yuzhou. The land is fertile, and Runan County alone can support an army of [-].

For Runan County, Lu Bu must have thought. He has a covenant with Yuan Shu, but at this time, does Yuan Shu dare to stand up and criticize him? After Chenliu County and Jiyin County were lost, Yuan Shu didn't even send envoys to come. It is the awareness that the defeated party should have.

If you are not strong enough, you need to be more honest. If you don't anger Lu Bu, Yuan Shu will not be able to bear the consequences. Of course, Yuan Shu is also very careful when dealing with Lu Bu, lest he anger Lu Bu.

The situation under Yuan Shu's rule was not good. Even many officials under Yuan Shu's command were panicked, especially after the Yanzhou Army captured Chenliu and Jiyin counties, what made them feel the terror of Lu Bu's army, if Liu Biao was at this time If an alliance with Lu Bu is reached, what kind of harm will it do to Yuan Shu?

The guard of Runan County is Li Feng. Li Feng is a general under Yuan Shu's account. When it was critical, Yuan Shu left Li Feng to guard Runan County, just to guard against the attack from the Xuzhou army.

As a feudal lord, in fact, Yuan Shu understands many truths. After the Xuzhou army won the victory, it would not give up. What Yuan Shu did not expect was that the Yanzhou army successfully captured Chenliu County and Jiyin County. This is for Yuan Shu It is not a small blow.

In order to get Chenliu County and Jiyin County, Yuan Shu led the army to fight Yanzhou and paid a big price. Now, all these have become Lu Bu's possessions. The key is that Lu Bu didn't pay much to get the land of the two counties. At the expense of the city, the advantages of the city were not brought into play at all, so it was captured by Lu Bu.

This kind of confrontation would not be easy for any monarch, but Yuan Shu could only endure it.

Now is the most critical moment under his rule. If he cannot get out of this situation, he will be faced with even greater challenges.

The court was unclear, and the princes fought for their own interests. At this time, the role of the court may be to mediate. After the failure of the Xuzhou War, Yuan Shu sent people to Chang'an to ask the court to send someone to make peace with Liu Biao and Lu Bu. .

Although the imperial court said that the princes despised it, but sometimes, if the court mediates, the princes will have a step down. Anyway, it is out of the imperial court's order, even if it is a strike, it will not be ashamed.

In the past, Yuan Shu did not pay attention to the court, especially after the turmoil in the court, the situation in the court became more critical. The people who held the power in the court were the generals under the command of Dong Zhuo in the past. These people fought for power and profit , but there will be no mercy in the slightest, they are planning more benefits for themselves in the court.

This also makes the generals and masters of the big man even more worthless. Now in the court, as long as they have military power, they can compete in this aspect. Anyway, no matter how many masters the big man has, Guo Si and others will not I won't take it to heart, as long as it can win people's hearts, it is enough for them.

Moreover, it feels very good to be in charge of the court, and has the power to appoint officials. In the past, they didn't even dare to think about positions, but now they only need to propose them, and they will be approved.

The dignity of the Han Dynasty has almost been damaged in the turmoil again and again.

An army came towards Runan County, numbering 8000, under the banner of the Xuzhou Army, led by Gao Shun and Wei Xu.

This is the horn of the Xuzhou Army's attack on Runan County. The news of the victory on the Yanzhou battlefield has not yet come, but the Xuzhou Army must take action as soon as possible.

Runan County has a vast territory, and it is very difficult to directly attack Junzhi Pingyu in Runan County. Besides, it is impossible for 8000 people to completely hide on the battlefield.

What they have to do is to gradually nibble away at the cities of Runan County.

In the hands of Gao Shun, it is natural that he has a sharp weapon capable of breaking through the city. As long as the soldiers come to Pingyu, Gao Shun has the confidence to break through Pingyu. At that time, the entire Runan County will fall under Lu Bu's control. Dare to disobey Lu Bu's order.

Chapter 377

This is an opportunity for Lu Bu to expand his strength. As a general under Lu Bu's command, Gao Shun only needs to follow Lu Bu's orders.

"General Gao, the traces of our army must have been discovered by Runan County." Wei Xu said.

Gao Shun nodded, "It's okay, there are not many defenders in the cities in Runan County nowadays, as long as soldiers come to the city, these cities will definitely open their gates obediently."

Wei Xu showed joy. He was very excited to be able to fight with the army this time. This is a good opportunity for him to make contributions in the army. Wei Xu was the captain of Pengcheng. When Lu Bu led the army to fight Yuan Shu, As the captain of Pengcheng, he definitely needs to guard the city to prevent the younger generation from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

Such a mission is of great significance, and Wei Xu understands the reason for it. However, as a general, he cannot appear on the battlefield. For a general, this is definitely a very uncomfortable thing.

The Xuzhou army wanted to attack Runan County, so Wei Xu had a chance to play.

As Gao Shun said, [-] Xuzhou soldiers approached the city, but any city that saw the Xuzhou army's arrival would open the city gate and surrender.

In just a few days, the Xuzhou army captured four cities, and Runan was shaken.

After occupying these cities, Gao Shun only left a small number of soldiers and horses to guard them, and Xuzhou will definitely mobilize soldiers and horses later. There is no need to worry about this point.

However, when attacking Xiangxian County, the Xuzhou army encountered obstacles. If they wanted to attack the county government of Pingyu, Xiangxian County had to be broken. Instead, it is procrastinating.

At this time, Gao Shun had 7000 troops under his command, and the defenders in the city were only a few hundred people, so Gao Shun followed Wei Xu's suggestion and directly attacked Xiang County.

The soldiers who followed Gao Shun were veterans of hundreds of battles. When they fought against Yuan Shu's army, they broke out with powerful fighting power. Now they are attacking Runan County with high momentum.

However, Liang Yu, who was backed by some cities, resisted the Xuzhou army's attack with vigor and vigor, and had no intention of giving in at all.

There were less than a thousand defenders in the city, but Liang Yu had the momentum to see death as home, climbed up the city wall, and resisted the Xuzhou army's attack together with the soldiers in the army.

Xiang County is not a small city in Runan, but after all, the city wall is low, and the Xuzhou army climbed the city wall several times.

Xiang County blocked the Xuzhou Army for five full days, and by this time, Chenliu County and Jiyin County in Yanzhou had been broken by the Yanzhou Army.

In Pingyu City, Li Feng's complexion became more and more gloomy. After facing the arrival of the Xuzhou Army, the cities of Runan surrendered one after another, and only Xiang County caused some trouble to the Xuzhou Army. Currently there are [-] troops in the city. Feng Zhen is the most critical force in guarding Runan County. Although Li Feng has a lot of hatred for Xuzhou Army, at this time, he must be calm.

After the Xuzhou army won the battle, their morale was high and their fighting spirit was high, while the army in Pingyu City did not have that kind of fighting spirit. After the defeat of the war, what kind of thoughts would they have when facing the war again? Woolen cloth.

Pingyu City is the seat of the county seat of Runan County. As the largest county in Yuzhou, the city wall of Pingyu County is as high as four feet, and there is a moat outside the city. It can be said that the city is high and deep. There is still a gap between cities.

This is also where Li Feng's confidence lies. He will not lead the army recklessly to face the Xuzhou army at this time. He only needs to firmly control Pingyu City in his hands, and his mission will be considered completed.

On the sixth day, Xiang County was defeated by the Xuzhou Army, and Liang Yu, the magistrate of Xiang County, was beheaded by the Xuzhou Army among the chaos.

The fall of Xiang County means that the Xuzhou army can attack Pingyu at any time.

The Xuzhou army approached the city, and the city was shaken. If it was in the past, the officials in the city would not have taken the Xuzhou army seriously, including Lu Bu who was in charge of Xuzhou, because they were under Yuan Shu's rule, and this is something they should be proud of.

The situation is different now, Yuan Shu failed in the battle with the Xuzhou army, what a blow, but now the Xuzhou army has gained the advantage on the battlefield, and now the Xuzhou army is approaching the city, wanting to take advantage from them.

The Xuzhou Army's attack was fierce, and it took less than half a month to enter Runan County, and they came to Pingyu City. Once Pingyu City was breached by the Xuzhou Army, it goes without saying that other cities in Runan County would definitely scramble for refuge.

In the past, the officials and families of Runan County did not pay attention to Lu Bu, but the situation is different now. After the Xuzhou army won the battle against Yuan Shu, they obtained Pei Guo and Liang Guo from Yuan Shu, and their strength increased greatly. Runan County It was also exposed to the edge of the Xuzhou Army.

If the war can be avoided, why do these families want to see the war coming.

The war not only affects the people, but also the development of a family, especially after the defeat of the war, the impact is even greater.

At this time, the officials in Runan had to think more, just like Liang Yu, who led the soldiers in the city to resist the Xuzhou army. As a result, what kind of benefits did they get when they died in the chaos.

Officials in other cities in Runan County are in a state of secretly watching, which is also reasonable. They need to have a clearer judgment on the situation before they can make a decision. If Li Feng can lead the army to defeat the Xuzhou Army, let It would be good if Runan stabilized, otherwise, we couldn't blame them more.

For the continuation of the family, these officials will make some actions that make Yuan Shu angry.

At the same time, news came that the Yanzhou army was dispatched to break through Jiyin and Chenliu counties.

The officials in Runan County were shocked. From Lu Bu's plan this time, what they saw was Lu Bu's great ambitions. Only Liang Guo and Pei Guo could not satisfy Lu Bu at all. Now the two counties of Yanzhou that Yuan Shu managed to seize, Became under the rule of Lu Bu.

How angry Yuan Shu would be if he found out about this kind of thing, but does Yuan Shu have a better way to deal with this situation? After the defeat of the war, the right to speak among the princes is no longer what it used to be weight.

Lu Bu, who needed Yuan Shu's righteous support, also rose up after this battle. Yuan Shu will face even greater difficulties in the future, but Yuan Shu cannot just admit defeat.

Li Feng's mood was also a little dignified, and he gathered the officials in the city together to discuss countermeasures.

"General, this is a letter from Yingchuan." A general walked into the room quickly and said.

Chapter 378

Li Feng frowned slightly. At this time, Runan County was at its most critical time. If Yuan Shu learned of the changes in the situation in Runan County, he would definitely be anxious. Most stupid move ever.

After reading the contents of the letter, Li Feng's face was a little dignified. The news that Jiyin County and Chenliu County were breached just came, but Li Feng didn't know the details about the Yanzhou battlefield, which was what Li Feng was most puzzled about. From the fact that Gao Shun and Wei Xu led the Xuzhou army to attack Runan County, it can be seen that on the battlefield in Yanzhou, there were not many troops belonging to Lu Bu. How did Lu Bu send soldiers to Jiyin County and Chenliu County under such circumstances? What about the breach?

Could it be that Lu Bu still has soldiers and horses in secret?

These doubts disappeared after Yuan Shu's letter was delivered, and then became deep fear.

"Order the lieutenant generals of the army to block the city gate immediately, as quickly as possible." Li Feng ordered.

The sky has already dawned, and as expected, the Xuzhou army will definitely launch an attack today, and maybe the Xuzhou army will use the siege weapon by then.

Thinking that the strong city gate could hardly stop the Xuzhou army's footsteps, Li Feng was deeply in awe. The war was already developing in a direction that Li Feng was unfamiliar with.

Although it is not certain whether Xuzhou's army has such a sharp weapon, there is nothing wrong with careful precautions.

The soldiers in the army, according to Li Feng's order, hastily blocked the city gate, which also made the officials in the city have a lot of doubts. Although the Xuzhou army is aggressive, it only has a few thousand people. With the city as the backing, can it be It can't stop the Xuzhou army's attack, so why block the city gate.

Even if the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army can get close to the city gate, it will not have much impact, because the moat can still keep the Xuzhou Army out of the city.
