The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Behind these literati are families with rich heritage, so there is no need to worry about the price.

If aristocratic women are crazy for fairy jade, nowadays literati are crazy for paper.

The literati who came from all over made Pengcheng more lively. The most obvious change was that the restaurants were overcrowded. Some restaurants that were not doing very well in the past were also very busy.

Lu Bu smiled when he heard the news.

"Brother, why are you laughing?" Xiu'er couldn't help asking.

In front of Lu Bu, Xiu'er never covered up her veil. Even if it was not the first time she met Xiu'er's eyes, seeing such a beautiful face, Lu Bu's heart beat faster.

Every frown and smile will always give people a sense of beauty.

"This Marquis is laughing at Xiuermei," Lu Bu said.

Xiu'er's face was reddish, and she lowered her head. In front of Lu Bu, she was always a bit thin-skinned. Although the matter between the two of them had been settled, Xiu'er would still feel shy when facing Lu Bu alone. With Yan Yu's encouragement, Xiu'er dared to appear in front of Lu Bu frequently.

Yan Yu could clearly feel that Lu Bu would be happier when he was with Xiu'er.

In Yan Yu's view, Xiu'er is a beautiful and kind woman. Although she has no family background, she doesn't have too many requirements. It is a good thing to be by Lu Bu's side. Lu Bu is a prince. There will only be more and more women around her. These things are beyond Yan Yu's control.

That being the case, Yan Yu might as well be more magnanimous.

"Such a beautiful woman like Xiu'er, it is my honor to be married to this Marquis," Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Brother, don't say any more." Xiu'er refused to follow while tugging at Lu Bu's shirt.

Lu Bu was a little bit intoxicated by the faint fragrance coming over his face.

Unsteady on her footing, Xiu'er let out an exclamation, and fell into Lu Bu's arms, her eyes met, Xiu'er's face was like a ripe red apple.

Being in such close contact with Lu Bu, Xiu'er felt like her heart was going to jump out of her mouth, but this feeling made Xiu'er a little obsessed, as long as she could see Lu Bu every day, it seemed to be the happiest thing for Xiu'er when.

However, Lu Bu has a high position and authority. Normally, there are many things that need to be dealt with. She has no status with Lu Bu. If she gets too close to Lu Bu, it will cause other people's discussions. affected.

"Brother." Seeing that Lu Bu was a little stunned, Xiu'er couldn't help saying in a low voice.

"Husband." Mi Zhen stood not far away, and called out crisply.

Xiu'er's face became more and more red, and she hurriedly pushed Lu Bu away and stood up, her speed can definitely be called fast.

Lu Bu was stunned, and smiled awkwardly, "Why did Xiu'er accidentally fall into Ben Hou's arms? Fortunately, she's fine. If not, Ben Hou would feel sorry for her."

Xiu'er naturally understood what happened just now, and gave Lu Bu a dissatisfied look. It was obvious that Lu Bu's hand was doing the trick, but instead he pushed it away on her.

Mi Zhen smiled and said: "Husband, sister Xiu'er is a rare beauty, even a concubine would be ashamed to see her, husband should act earlier."

Xiu'er glared at Mi Zhen, she didn't expect Mi Zhen to be so nonsense on such an occasion, it's okay for the two of them to make some jokes, but this was in front of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "It won't be too late after Benhou marries Xiu'er, but Zhen'er will be miserable tonight."

Mi Zhu seemed to have remembered something, and his face blushed slightly.

"Husband, you are too bad." Mi Zhen grabbed Xiu'er and left here as if fleeing.

Xiu'er asked, "Why did Brother Cai just say that you were miserable tonight?"

Mi Zhen showed a sly smile, and said in a low voice: "After my husband marries Xiu'er, Xiu'er will naturally understand."

"Xiu'er will definitely beg for mercy at that time."

Xiu'er still showed doubts, she didn't understand what Mi Zhen was talking about, but she secretly kept this question in her heart, and it would not be too late to ask when she saw Lu Bu in the future.

If Mi Zhen knew that Xiu'er had such thoughts, she didn't know how she would feel.

However, being with Lu Bu is a spiritual and physical enjoyment for Mi Zhen, and Lu Bu's masculinity has a fatal temptation for Mi Zhen, she would rather not get out of bed the next day, but have a carnival with Lu Bu.

It's good to have Xiu'er chatting by his side, but I didn't expect that I couldn't hold back for a while, and actually scared Xiu'er away.

"Forget it, let's go see how the Chamber of Commerce is doing." Lu Bu got up and said.

Recently, things about the chamber of commerce have been spreading in the city. Lu Bu has also heard a lot of news. Mi Zhu’s influence among the sailors cannot be underestimated. With Mi Zhu’s presence, merchants flock to him, especially when he hears about joining the chamber of commerce. After that, there will be a lot of convenience, and these businessmen can't calm down even more.

They came to Xuzhou to do business, of course, for the benefit. After entering the chamber of commerce, although they will bear part of the responsibility, it is nothing compared to the benefits they get.

After becoming a member of the Chamber of Commerce, they can be regarded as having a certain status in Xuzhou. Of course, this status refers to their status among merchants.

Even so, it's a big deal for businessmen.

Even the envoys of the princes who came to Pengcheng and did not leave were quite puzzled after seeing the changes in the city. It was just a businessman who established a chamber of commerce. What is there to make a fuss about? In the eyes of more envoys, the status of merchants is still low , not enough to enter the room.

When facing Mi Zhu, the envoys of the princes will put away such thoughts very well.

Because Mi Zhu is in control of the things that make the princes of all parties excited, once Mi Zhu is offended, their hard work in Pengcheng will be wiped out.

In Pengcheng, horse-drawn carriages continue to go to other places. In these carriages, what are escorted are the hundred-refined weapons sent by the craftsman workshop. These hundred-refined weapons will be sent to the hands of the princes who need them most at present. Lu Bu is currently recuperating. state.

However, Lu Bu can still use the power of Xuzhou to influence the war among the princes. The Hundred-Refined Weapon is of great significance to the soldiers in the army. Get a greater improvement, so that they can explode with stronger combat effectiveness when fighting against the enemy.

Chapter 397 Jingzhou Army Breaks through Yangdi

The first batch of Hundred Refined Weapons were sent to Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu respectively.

Gongsun Zan is currently at the critical stage of fighting Yuan Shao. In Yuan Shao's hands, he has the trump card of being the first to be a dead man. Even when Gongsun Zan launches a war, he must be more cautious. After obtaining the Hundred Refined Weapon, Gongsun Zan's strength will With a greater improvement, when the time comes to fight Yuan Shao, he will have more hole cards.

The Jingzhou Army continued to attack Yangdi one after another. Yangdi City was already crumbling. It was very likely that Yangdi would be difficult to preserve. Once Yangdi fell, both Chen Guo and Runan County would be in danger.

When the Jingzhou army attacked Yuzhou this time, the combat effectiveness displayed was also extremely powerful.

Lu Bu didn't want Yuan Shu to fail just like that. Even if he failed, he would still lose in his hands. The most important thing was to use Yuan Shu's strength to consume Liu Biao's army as much as possible.

No matter whether it is Yuan Shu or Liu Biao, in Lu Bu's view, they may face Hengwei's enemies. Since they are facing the enemy, there is no need to be polite.

Although supporting Yuan Shu's Baijian weapon is to help him improve his strength, isn't it a waste of Liu Biao's strength?

Perhaps Yuan Shu's advisers could see this, but in order to preserve the city under their rule, they still needed Lu Bu's help, and even continued to maintain an ally relationship with Lu Bu to ensure that Lu Bu would not attack Runan County at this time.

Runan County is a place that Yuan Shu attaches great importance to. If Runan County is lost, Yuan Shu will also lose it. It is necessary to fight against the Jingzhou Army in Yingchuan County.

It is also Yuan Shu's goal to preserve the city under his rule as much as possible.

At this time, Yuan Shu's hatred for Liu Biao was undeniable. If he had known that the Jingzhou Army would take such a move, he would not have launched an attack on Xuzhou. He would even unite with Lu Bu to attack Jingzhou and carve up Jingzhou first.

Now, Yuan Shu is in an embarrassing situation. Sending envoys to Jingzhou did not play a big role. The Jingzhou family who had contacts with Yuan Shu in the past also kept silent at this time. The failure of the battle of Xuzhou , causing a gap in Yuan Shu's sharpest sword, and it was time to give Yuan Shu a fatal blow.

After Liu Biao's strength grows, it will be of great benefit to the Jingzhou family. They follow behind the monarch, so why not make the family's strength further. Now there is a very good opportunity to weaken Yuan Shu. It will be the Jingzhou family that will succeed.

Yuan Shu did have a lot of influence among the princes, but that was when Yuan Shu was powerful. Since he had already offended Yuan Shu, he might as well offend him more thoroughly. Otherwise, after Yuan Shu recovered, he would definitely be the first to To Jingzhou shot.

There were confrontations between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao in the past, but most of the time it was Yuan Shu who provoked them. There was enmity between the two sides.

The Jingzhou family is also smart. If they stand up against the war at this time, wouldn't it be Liu Biao who will take advantage of it.

Liu Biao is the shepherd of Jingzhou, but Jingzhou's decision-making power depends on the powerful family in Jingzhou, but Liu Biao's methods are extraordinary. If Liu Biao is given more time, maybe Liu Biao will completely control Jingzhou. This time against Yuan Shu , so that Liu Biao's prestige in Jingzhou has been greatly improved.

The strength of the monarch is sometimes not a good thing for some families, because these families want to control more power, and they are bound to conflict with the monarch.

On the battlefield of Yingchuan, Cao Cao's performance was very eye-catching. After the success against the Huns cavalry, Cao Cao's prestige in the Jingzhou army was improved to a certain extent. When attacking Yangdi, Cai Mao appointed Cao Cao to lead an army to attack One of the walls.

When Cao Cao commanded the battle, he displayed a strategy that people dare not underestimate. The soldiers of the army climbed the city wall of Yangdi several times, so that the crumbling Yangdi might be breached at any time.

At this time, Yuan Shu led the army and stationed in Dingying. Dingying is located in Runan County, close to Chen Guo and Yingchuan County, and can provide support at any time.

After the Battle of Xuzhou, the strength of Yuan Shu's troops has suffered a considerable loss, but after all, Yuan Shu has been in business for many years. After receiving orders from Yuan Shu, a steady stream of young and strong will be sent to the army. Now Yuan Shu's army is even more There are [-] soldiers, but most of these soldiers are drawn from various cities. Perhaps they are young and strong who have undergone simple training and are issued with simple weapons and armor. If they rely on such an army, they will have a head-on collision with the Jingzhou army If the situation is unpredictable, the most likely result is failure.

After being defeated on the Xuzhou battlefield, Yuan Shu didn't want to taste the taste of failure again.

"My lord, Yangzhai was broken by the Jingzhou army, and General Ji Ling led the army to come to Dingying." Yang Hong said with a heavy tone.

Yuan Shu nodded solemnly, "The Jingzhou Army has [-] people, which has formed a great deterrent to our army, but if the Jingzhou Army wants to break through Runan County, this Marquis will definitely not agree."

"Now my lord has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, guarding Dingying will definitely prevent the Jingzhou army from invading." said Han Yin.

Yuan Shu shook his head slightly, "Liu Biao has an army of [-] people under his command. Now that Yangdi has been defeated, he will definitely have greater confidence in defeating Runan County. The envoys sent by the Marquis have not even seen Liu Biao's face."

"If there is a chance in the future, Benhou will definitely cut off the head of old Liu Biao, and send troops to come when Benhou is weak. This kind of behavior is unforgivable."

Yang Hongdao: "For today's plan, the most important thing is to defend Runan County. After successive battles, Lu Bu will not launch a war easily. Now the Xuzhou army is recruiting and training soldiers, and it is difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. As long as our army defeats Liu Biao, we will have a chance to breathe."

Yuan Shu couldn't understand the meaning of Yang Hong's words. Strengthening Dongying's defense means that Chen Guo will be abandoned. , so that Yuan Shu's status among the princes is very high, and when the envoys of the princes came to Yuan Shu's rule, they would be respectful and respectful.

The current situation has evolved only because Yuan Shu launched a wrong war. Instead of driving Lu Bu out of Xuzhou, Lu Bu took the land of the four counties from the battle.

Liu Bei had a lot of fun in Qingzhou, and now there are only three counties. The key is that the land of four counties captured by Lu Bu is not comparable to the counties in Qingzhou.

But this is war, and the loser must learn to bear the price that should be borne after the defeat of the army.

Chapter 398 Cao Cao Breaks Chen Guo

"This statement is reasonable. If the Jingzhou army dares to invade Runan County, this Marquis will let them see the elite under his command." Yuan Shu said solemnly.

Seeing that Yuan Shu was planning to abandon Chen Guo, Yang Hong was also secretly relieved. It was necessary for the Jingzhou army to retreat in spite of the difficulties, but before that, the Jingzhou army must want to get more benefits from Yuan Shu's hands , when Liu Biao chose to launch this war, he must have such an idea.

As a prince of Party B, who doesn't want the strength of his subordinates to be stronger, and if he wants to get a sufficient number of cities, he has to work harder.

When the Jingzhou army attacked Yingchuan, the price they paid was not very high.

"Now the lord's envoy is in Pengcheng, and the five hundred hundred refined weapons supported by Lu Bu will soon be sent to the army. With the support from Xuzhou, it will be no problem for the lord to defeat the Jingzhou army." Yang Hongdao .

Hearing Yang Hong's words, Yuan Shu's face was a little unnatural. He had a big battle with Lu Bu before. It was precisely because of the failure of that battle that Liu Biao saw an opportunity, and the Jingzhou army attacked Yingchuan. At the critical moment, Yuan Shu was quite relieved that Lu Bu was able to send the hundred-refined weapon.

Of course, such gratification is only relative. If given the opportunity, Yuan Shu would not hesitate to eradicate Lu Bu who is entrenched in Xuzhou. It is precisely because of Lu Bu that he has the current situation.

"Tell Yuan Huan to buy as many hundred-refined weapons as possible, and the supplies from Yangzhou will be delivered directly to Lu Bu's territory," Yuan Shu said.

The most important thing at present is to survive the catastrophe of the Jingzhou army's attack on the city. Lu Bu is willing to support at this time, and Yuan Shu is happy to see it.

"My lord, the cavalry of the Xiongnu have been a little restless recently, and Yu Fuluo has repeatedly mentioned that the lord did not send the hundred-refined weapon as agreed." Yang Hong said.

Yuan Shu snorted coldly and said, "The Xiongnu cavalry boasted of being brave, but even if they failed against your Jingzhou army, could it be that this Marquis is obliged to give more hundred-refined weapons to the Xiongnu cavalry for nothing?"

Mentioning this matter, Yuan Shu was not in a good mood. Originally, he wanted to use the strength of the Huns cavalry to win the battle against the Jingzhou army. Unexpectedly, after encountering Cao Cao's ambush, the Jingzhou army fell into a slump and was killed by the Jingzhou army. suppress.

It wasn't because the Huns cavalry didn't want to change the situation in front of them. Yu Fuluo was a smart man. If the Huns cavalry could perform better in the war, he would have more confidence when negotiating terms with Yuan Shu. Just like now, if you ask for a hundred-refined weapon, you have to whisper.

This is what the victor deserves. The fighting power of the Huns cavalry at the beginning was indeed strong. After being defeated by the enemy one after another, their morale was also frustrated. Even when faced with the enemy's provocation, they could only blindly tolerate.

Doesn't Yuvro want to win?

"Tell Yu Fuluo that what the Marquis needs now is victory, as long as you help him to win, you can get more sophisticated weapons." Yuan Shu said.

In the next battle against the Jingzhou army, the Huns will need the help of the cavalry. At this time, Yuan Shu does not intend to turn against the cavalry of the Huns. With the help of the cavalry of the Huns, he can contain more Jingzhou troops. This is the most important thing. .

An urgent situation can sharpen a person the most. Fighting against the Xuzhou Army and the Jingzhou Army made Yuan Shu handle things very differently from before. It's not terrible, the key is how the monarch looks at it, and what kind of attitude the monarch will have afterwards. If he is depressed because of the failure of a battle, such a monarch is not worthy of their sincere follow.

"Soldiers of the messenger army, get ready. If the Jingzhou army dares to come, let the Jingzhou army see the bravery of the soldiers under the Marquis's command." Yuan Shu said in a deep voice.

Everyone claimed yes, but they didn't have much confidence in their hearts.

In Yang Hong's view, after the Jingzhou army breaks through Yingchuan, it will definitely attack Chen Guo, disintegrating the fighting spirit of Yuan Shu's soldiers step by step, and let Yuan Shu's soldiers see that there is no hope of victory against the Jingzhou army. If the actions of the army cannot affect Yuan Shu's army, Liu Biao will be more cautious when handling the battle in Yuzhou.

No one wants to offend a powerful enemy for no reason, but Yuan Shu is not an ordinary person, he grew up in the powerful Yuan family.

Just as Yang Hong expected, after the Jingzhou army defeated Yangdi, Cai Mao ordered the lieutenant generals to capture the city of Yingchuan County, and at the same time ordered Cao Cao to lead the army to Chen Guo, with the idea of ​​​​breaking Chen Guo in one fell swoop.

The successive changes on the battlefield made Chen Guo's family lose confidence in Yuan Shu. When the generals defending the city saw Cao Cao leading the troops to kill them, they directly opened the city gate and chose to surrender. After fighting Cao Cao, they could not see the possibility of winning. I hope that instead of persisting meaninglessly on the battlefield, it is better to surrender directly.

In a few days, Chen Guo led troops and horses to break through for Cao Cao, which also made Cao Cao's name even more resounding.

Next, the Jingzhou army will face Yuan Shu's army stationed in Dingying.

Dingying is the key point for Yuan Shu to fight against the Jingzhou army. As long as Yuan Shu can be defeated by Dingying, it will be no problem to capture Runan County.

But Cao Cao could see how difficult it was to break through Dingying. It was only the number of defenders in the city, which was not much different from the Jingzhou army. Attacking such a city rashly would cause many problems.

War is full of variables, and detailed planning before the war is very important.

In this battle, the Jingzhou army has already won a lot of victories. This is an achievement achieved on the Yuzhou battlefield.

News from the battlefield in Yuzhou continued to spread to Pengcheng. The secret intelligence organization was already well prepared to collect the troubles in various states and counties. In order to form an intelligence organization, Xuzhou also paid a lot.

However, under the rule of the princes, most of these secret works appeared as businessmen or other identities, providing more useful news for Xuzhou every day.

However, in Lu Bu's view, the consumption in this area is absolutely worthwhile. With a powerful intelligence system, he can learn the movements of the princes faster, and even learn some secret things.

The chamber of commerce is established in the outer city. After all, merchants do business more often in the outer city.
