The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Li Feng also wanted to understand the truth of it. He also cared about chaos. He wanted Chen Liu because the Yanzhou army had a sharp weapon that could directly break through the city gate, so he was broken by the Yanzhou army. Pingyu City.

This city is too important to Runan County. With Pingyu City, Yuan Shu's rule in Runan County is still there, and even the city captured by the Xuzhou Army may be returned to the hands, but Pingyu If the city is lost, it means that Yuan Shu's rule in Runan County is completely over.

Gao Shun looked at the majestic city not far away and said, "General Wei, even though our army has a sharp weapon to break through the city, it is not easy to capture Runan County."

Wei Xu nodded. It will take half a month just to fill up the moat. By then, how many soldiers of the Xuzhou Army will fall in the process of filling the moat.

The Xuzhou army attacked Runan County, naturally wanting to win at the lowest cost, but when the Xuzhou army attacked the city of Runan County, Li Feng, who was stationed in Runan, did not move at all, and just let the Xuzhou army approach the city all the way In fact, such a situation is the most unfavorable for the Xuzhou army. With more soldiers and horses in the city as support, Li Feng can calmly deal with the Xuzhou army's attack.

What worries Gao Shun the most is whether Li Feng will be on guard if the situation on the Yanzhou battlefield is heard. When the most powerful offensive method in the Xuzhou army has lost its effect, if he wants to break through Runan County, he will have to pay a lot of money. The cost of many people is not something that the troops under Gao Shun's command can break through anyway.

But this attack on Runan County is of great importance. Even if there are many difficulties, Gao Shun and Wei Xu will not give up easily. Behind them, but with Xuzhou as support, Yuan Shu is just a defeated underling. It is also difficult to do more.

After breaking through Runan County, it is possible to drive Yuan Shu's forces out of Yuzhou, and Gao Shun and Wei Xu, who are in charge of carrying out this order, will surely become famous among the princes.

Fame is equally important to the generals in the army. They also need to put in a lot of effort if they want to have a resounding reputation in the world.

Fame is extremely important to civilian and military generals. Having a good reputation means that they will get more opportunities, and it will be easier to improve their status in the future. No one will give up such opportunities easily.

Now that Lv Bu has been established among the princes, it is the best time for his soldiers to make contributions. If you want to get it, you must learn to give. The battlefield in Runan is the test for Gao Shun and Wei Xu.

The Xuzhou army launched an attack on Pingyu, but such an attack can only be said to be tentative. Gradually filling the moat is exactly the goal of Gao Shun and Wei Xu.

Although the current strength of the Xuzhou army is not enough to break through Pingyu City, behind them, there is Xuzhou as a support. As long as Xuzhou sees the possibility of breaking through Pingyu, will they give up easily? It can be said that in this battle Among them, Pingyu is at an absolute disadvantage.

It seems to be very difficult for Li Feng to repel the Xuzhou army. Could it be that at this time, Li Feng dared to lead the army out of the city to compete with the Xuzhou army? If there is such a result, it is Gao Shun What others want to see most.

Gao Shun frowned at the thoughtful news from Xi Zuo, and Li Feng even ordered the city gate to be completely blocked. Even if he had a sharp weapon in his hand to break through the city gate, it could still play its due role at this time Well, Gao Shun had to take this into consideration.

"General Wei, it seems that Li Feng must have got the news and made preparations in advance." Gao Shun said.

Wei Xu nodded helplessly, and led the army to the Runan battlefield. Wei Xu was full of fighting spirit and was bound to make contributions on the Runan battlefield. He never thought that he would suffer such a situation when he came outside Pingyu City. It was difficult, but the Xuzhou army made great strides in Runan County. Four cities in succession were captured by the Xuzhou army, which greatly deterred Yuan Shu.

If such a thing was put in the past, it would definitely be unimaginable, after all Yuan Shu is a powerful prince in the world.

Today, Yuan Shu can only choose to swallow his anger when facing the attack of the Xuzhou Army. This alone is enough to make the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army proud.

After Lu Bu returned to Xuzhou, he learned about the situation on the battlefield in Runan, and Lu Bu had thoughts about Runan.

"From Wenhe's point of view, how should this matter be?" Lu Bu asked.

Jia Xu pondered for a long time and said: "My lord, after successive battles, our army is exhausted. Why don't you order Runan's army to retreat, and it will not be too late to fight Yuan Shu later."

Chapter 379 is the foundation of Xuzhou

"Where is Feng Xiao?" Lu Bu turned his attention to Guo Jia.

"The subordinates think that the words of the military adviser are reasonable. Pingyu City is high and deep, and there are thousands of elite soldiers in the city. Even if more Xuzhou troops go there, it will be difficult to break through the city in a short time. On the contrary, the army will appear This is not a small loss, which is not good for our army. Now our army has occupied Yanzhou, Xuzhou and Yuzhou's Pei and Liang countries, and our strength has greatly increased. We only need to stabilize the territory. If we fight Yuan Shu in the future, we will be defeated. The army is bound to win," Guo Jia said.

"The princes of the world have already focused their attention on the south. The strong rise of the lord will also attract more attention. After the war, it is the best policy to recuperate and recover as soon as possible."

After a moment of silence, Lu Bu nodded and said, "On the basis of the words of the two of you, I ordered Gao Shun to leave Runan."

"My lord is wise." Guo Jia and Jia Xu said in unison.

As Guo Jia and Jia Xu said, the Xuzhou Army also paid a high price when they faced Yuan Shu this time. Stability after the war is not only needed by ordinary people, but also needed by soldiers in the army. They need to digest this. battle.

In the war, many soldiers died or were seriously injured, but the experience they accumulated on the battlefield is precious. If such battlefield experience can be applied to ordinary training, it will play a big role. The effect cannot be ignored.

Lu Bu's request to the Xuzhou Army is to be more elite.

The confrontation between Yuan Shu and the Jingzhou army in Yingchuan was also an opportunity for Lu Bu to accumulate strength in secret.

It is best for Liu Biao and Yuan Shu to fight each other and consume more of Yuan Shu's troops, which is the most beneficial for Lu Bu.

From the battle in Yingchuan, it can be seen that although Yuan Shu failed on the battlefield in Xuzhou, he still has other means.

"My lord, the battle between Liu Biao and Yuan Shu will not last long. If Yuan Shu fights to the death, even if the Jingzhou army breaks through Yingchuan and Chen, they will have to pay a heavy price." Jia Xu said slowly.

Lv Bu laughed and said, "Liu Biao's subordinates are known as one hundred thousand elites. Could it be that they are still afraid of Yuan Shu?"

"Yuan Shu has a lot of influence among the princes. Liu Biao's battle with him is not a small risk. Besides, Jiangdong Sun Ce obeys Yuan Shu's orders. Only one order from Yuan Shu can set Jiangxia on fire. At that time, Liu Biao had to send troops to Jiangxia." Jia Xu said, "And the high-level officials in Jingzhou will not allow too much damage to Jingzhou's troops."

Lu Bu nodded, "Liu Biao is under such constraints in Jingzhou, and it is extremely difficult to achieve greater development."

"This is also Liu Biao's brilliance. At the beginning, Liu Biao entered Jingzhou alone. He was able to stabilize Jingzhou and make Jingzhou achieve such a great development. Liu Biao's methods were not simple." Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu did not expect Jia Xu to give Liu Biao such a high evaluation, but after thinking about what kind of situation Liu Biao would encounter after entering Jingzhou, Lu Bu was relieved. Will do better than Liu Biao.

Any prince who dominates one side is not a simple person, they have means that ordinary people can't match.

"Now that Yanzhou and Xuzhou have stabilized for the time being, information matters cannot be ignored. Craftsmen's workshops outside the city are the foundation of Xuzhou, and there is no room for any mistakes. Wenhe and Fengxiao should take care of themselves," Lu Bu said.

"This subordinate understands." The two said with their hands clasped together.

The victory of the war made the Xuzhou officials proud. They no longer feel depressed, and they don’t have to face other choices. Now they just need to follow Lu Bu. From Lu Bu, many officials have seen the rise of the family. Hope, as long as you follow Lu Bu closely, there will be greater possibilities.

What they pursue is to improve the strength of the family. When Lu Bu can give them such an opportunity, these families will still think carefully.

The role played by the Xuzhou craftsman workshop in this battle cannot be ignored. It is only the hundreds of refined weapons provided by the craftsman workshop that have raised the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou army to a higher level. There is also an inseparable relationship.

About the gunpowder, Lu Bu had already told the two of them in general, which also made Jia Xu and Guo Jia secretly heighten their vigilance. Once the princes knew that the Xuzhou Carpenter Workshop could make a sharp weapon that could directly break through the city gate, what kind of measures would they take?

The family that first took refuge in Lu Bu was naturally rejoicing. After the number of cities under Lu Bu’s rule increased, the influence of their family also increased. Lu Bu also has power in the appointment of officials in Yanzhou. At this time, Xuzhou’s The family gradually understood that only by closely following Lu Bu could their family have more room for development and their strength would be improved more.

The past events have proved the strength of Lu Bu very well. Looking at the princes in the world, the most powerful is Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu is still defeated by Lu Bu, which explains a lot of problems.

However, there are no dull people among the rich and powerful families. They have already felt the fear of Lu Bu from the changes in the situation.

The development of Xuzhou is proceeding according to the schedule. This time, the officials in Xuzhou did not do anything else in secret, which made Lu Bu extremely satisfied.

It's not that these families don't enjoy other actions, but that they don't dare. Only when they are under Lu Bu's rule, can they deeply understand how serious the consequences will be if they betray Lu Bu. Lu Bu's methods are extraordinary. people can imagine.

Who would have thought that a military general would have so many means when governing a city.

Lu Bu could feel that there were still officials in Xuzhou secretly supporting Yuan Shu through the news delivered by Momen, but they were very smart and did not dare to show it.

This kind of Xuzhou is what Lu Bu needs most. If even the officials under his rule cannot support the monarch more, it will definitely be detrimental to the stability of his rule.

What Lu Bu pursued was absolute control over Xuzhou, and it was impossible to go against all the aristocratic families. He borrowed more from the aristocratic families, so that officials in Xuzhou did not dare to have other thoughts. This will have a positive impact on future development. better effect.

Lu Bu believes that with the gradual improvement of his own strength, more families will unite around him and obey his orders, and all of this has a lot to do with interests.

The aristocratic family dared to take risks for the sake of profit, and for the sake of profit, it was also able to go through fire and water.

Chapter 380 Expansion to 4 people

Gao Shun led the army to retreat from Runan County, and Li Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was naturally confident in stopping the Xuzhou army's attack with Pingyu City, but there were many elite soldiers in Xuzhou. If Lu Bu attacked Runan County with all his might, would he be able to stop the wolf-like Xuzhou army just by relying on the thousands of soldiers and horses in Pingyu City?

The failure on the Xuzhou battlefield made the lieutenant officers and soldiers inevitably feel a sense of fear when facing the Xuzhou army, because the Xuzhou army won the battlefield, and they were the defeated generals of the Xuzhou army.

Once the vigor of an army is lost, the consequences will be extremely serious, and even when facing the enemy, there will be a scene of fleeing.

Ordinary training not only trains the ability of the lieutenants to kill the enemy, but also their morale and fighting spirit.

It is an out-and-out fact that Yuan Shu's army has been defeated by the Xuzhou Army. In the future, Yuan Shu's soldiers will be more cautious when facing the Xuzhou Army, and will not say that there is a phenomenon of belittling the Xuzhou Army. .

Before the war started, the soldiers under Yuan Shu's tent had absolute confidence in victory. No matter in terms of influence among the princes or in terms of military strength, Yuan Shu far surpassed Lu Bu, but the result of the war made Yuan Shu fall into a trap. to a more critical point.

Even if Yuan Shu can't get out of this confrontation, the consequences will be even more serious.

Sending Yu Jin to guard Chenliu and Gao Shun to guard Peiguo, Lu Bu was relieved a lot. Both Yu Jin and Gao Shun are superior in leading troops in battle. It has been greatly improved, which will be of great benefit to the improvement of the overall strength of the Xuzhou Army in the future.

War requires not only elite soldiers, but also good generals to lead them to victory.

"In the battle with Yuan Shu's army, our army won the victory. This is a gratifying and congratulatory event. The performance of the soldiers in the army is also remarkable. As the saying goes, those who make meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished. Now that the war is over, we should I'll settle it with you all." Lü Bu said with a smile.

Hearing the words, the generals in the tent let out bursts of laughter. The joy brought by the victory excited the soldiers in the army. They fought on the battlefield not only to protect the safety of Xuzhou, but also to get credit.

The system in Xuzhou's army determines that if you want to have a higher status in the army, you must work harder.

Soldiers in the same army, in ordinary training, their grades are worse than others, but any soldier with such blood will not give up easily. The atmosphere of competition in Xuzhou's army is also the key to Lu Bu's training of soldiers one.

An elite soldier needs the experience of war and also needs strict training.

"After the statistics of the soldiers who died in battle, the State Shepherd's Mansion will make follow-up compensation. At that time, the generals of the various ministries will be responsible for sending compensation to the families of the soldiers who died in battle. If they are soldiers in the Yanzhou Army, they will be paid by the Yanzhou Army Take responsibility." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

When it comes to the soldiers who died in battle, the generals' cheerful mood seems to be quite depressing. After all, when the former Paoze died on the battlefield, they will always feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts. Under the command of other princes, I'm afraid they didn't say that.

"The officers and men of the Yanzhou Army will soon return to Yanzhou. By that time, Pengcheng's army will drop to more than 4 people. This Marquis has decided to expand Pengcheng's army to [-] people." Lu Bu said.

"Here." All the generals said in unison.

As the generals under Lu Bu, they only need to act according to Lu Bu's orders. What happened in the past has already explained very well. Follow Lu Bu, they will not worry about not winning. Since Lu Bu took control of Xuzhou, how many games have they experienced? During the war, Lu Bu still stood among the princes, and it became even more difficult to defeat Lu Bu.

This is also the pride of Lu Bu's soldiers. All they need to do is to obey Lu Bu's orders and act according to Lu Bu's orders.

In the army, there are also descendants of aristocratic families, but they have little influence in the army. As for secretly mobilizing troops against Lu Bu, I am afraid that as long as Lu Bu appears in front of the soldiers, these soldiers will put down their weapons.

This is also a manifestation of Lu Bu's influence in the army. Victory has made the lieutenants have more respect for Lu Bu, and they want to follow such a general to make contributions.

The enemy is not terrible, and when they face difficulties on the battlefield, they will not be afraid of death, because they are soldiers in the Xuzhou army.

"Recruiting soldiers is a major event for our army. Generals who perform outstandingly on the battlefield will be promoted and rewarded as Zhonglang generals. There are quite a few Zhonglang generals under the command of other princes, so we must not let this Marquis under his command." The generals in the army still bear the title of lieutenant." Lü Bu laughed.

"Here." The general's tone was a little excited.

There is a big difference between Zhonglang general and school lieutenant. Although their status has been improved, the power in their hands has not changed. Just this kind of promotion can make the soldiers in the army have a higher cohesion, and the princes have rewarded them so far. The military general under his command is Zhonglang General, and he only needs to inform the court.

The current court does not dare to offend the princes too much, and even wants to be recognized by the princes. Although the princes are busy with their own interests and have no time to worry about Chang'an, they want them to admit that Guo Si and others are orthodox. It is simply impossible. What they need is to ask for official positions one by one from the court.

The imperial court has become a tool for princes to obtain official titles. If in the past it was necessary to rely on powerful princes, the changes in the court now allow the state shepherds of various states to directly recommend talents.

The changes in the system have allowed the princes to have greater power. The promotion of their officials needs to be promoted by the princes, not the court, and even the prefect of a county.

In this way, the officials under the vassals are grateful to the vassals, not the court. If it is not the vassals who promote them, the court will know who they are.

"Where are the prisoners we got after our confrontation with the enemy?" Lu Bu asked.

"I am following the order of Lieutenant Diannong to reclaim the fields." Li Dian clasped his fists and said.

Lu Bu nodded slightly, and had a plan in mind. These soldiers who were captured alive by the army had experienced wars, and there was no lack of elites among them. unbearable.

At this time, Lu Bu wanted to let them see hope. At present, there are more than ten thousand standing soldiers in Xuzhou. If they only rely on recruiting soldiers from the young and strong to enter the army, it will take longer to train.

Chapter 381 The Highest Can Be Promoted to Military Sima

And with these captives added to the army, combat effectiveness can be formed at a faster rate.

Among the princes in the south, Lu Bu, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu are the most powerful. Lu Bu has a hunch that the war between the three parties will not stop here, especially after Yuan Shu recuperates, there will definitely be other actions.

Now it depends on the means of the princes. Whether they can stand out when the princes are fighting depends on their own abilities. The princes who have no ability and means will eventually be eliminated by others.

Regardless of Yuan Shu and the Jingzhou army fighting fiercely in Yingchuan, maybe they will join hands to fight Lu Bu next time.

Lu Bu had to consider this situation.

At present, Lu Bu occupies more cities than Liu Biao and Yuan Shu. Once developed, it will have a big impact on the two.

Lu Bu naturally understands the truth. Yanzhou has [-] soldiers and Xuzhou has [-] soldiers and horses. In addition to the soldiers and horses in various cities, Lu Bu also has more than [-] troops. When the time comes, the princes dare to invade. What needs to be endured is the edge of a hundred thousand troops.

"Order the captives. Three days later, 5000 elite soldiers will be selected from among them to be added to the army. Those who perform well can be promoted to the highest rank of army commander," Lu Bu said.

Hearing the words, the general in the tent was moved in his heart. The military commander has a high status in the army. After becoming a military commander, he already has a certain right to speak. This is definitely a great stimulus for the captives.

No one wants to sink after becoming a prisoner. If it is possible, they will definitely work hard to fight for it.

It was easy to say when they were under Yuan Shu's tent in the past, but now they have become captives. If they want to change their fate, they can only work harder. Now that the Xuzhou Army has given them hope, they will train harder than before under Yuan Shu's command. Use your life, this is also the difference in the environment and the change in your mentality.

In the past, it was just dawdling, but now it is to change the living conditions.

After looking around in the army, Lu Bu returned to the mansion. He was quite satisfied with the situation in the army, especially the doctors in the army, who played an important role in this war. The wounded soldiers, It is handled by the doctors. Although the strength of these doctors varies, there are a large number of doctors in the Xuzhou army, which makes the soldiers in the army feel at ease.

No one wants to be left alone after being injured in the battle, and they also want to be treated.

The current situation in the Xuzhou army still satisfies the soldiers.

The Xuzhou army won a big victory, and even occupied Pei Guo, Liang Guo, and Chenliu and Jiyin counties in Yanzhou. This was no small stimulus for the princes of the world.

Affected by the victory of the Xuzhou Army, many small businessmen rushed to Xuzhou and Yanzhou to conduct business activities.
