After finishing the order, Xu Huang immediately rushed to Jia Xu's residence. After such a thing happened, Jia Xu needed to know.

Xu Huang felt a little heavy when such a thing happened in the city. He could imagine what it would mean to Lu Bu after Zhang Fei escaped from Pengcheng. Zhang Fei stood on the opposite side of Lu Bu. There is no need to doubt, and Lu Bu has arranged fifty soldiers around Zhang Fei's residence, which is enough to see the importance of Zhang Fei. To a certain extent, Lu Bu was dissatisfied with him.

As a general in the army, the trust of the monarch is of great significance to the general.

Chapter 453

Jia Xu was silent for a long time after learning what Xu Huang said, "This matter is of great importance. General Xu Huang can order people to search other Xuzhou officials in the city and ask them to cooperate with the investigation. If anyone violates the order, please inform this officer directly. That's it, I will go to the Hou's mansion and ask Wenhou to make a decision on this matter."

"Here." Xu Huang clasped his fists and said.

With Jia Xu's promise, it is much more convenient for Xu Huang to do things. Jia Xu has an important position under Lu Bu's command. If ordinary officials hear that this matter is Jia Xu's order, how dare they have more violated.

"General Xu Huang doesn't need to blame himself. The thieves clearly did it intentionally. You personally lead the soldiers to search Liu Bei's envoy's residence." Jia Xu said.

Xu Huang nodded when he heard the words. He also suspected that Liu Bei's envoys were responsible for this matter, but such things as searching the envoys of the princes are not trivial. If they are not handled properly, it will even arouse the anger of the princes.

Although Liu Bei is a weak existence among the princes, sending envoys to congratulate Lu Bu on the occasion of his wedding is enough to show Liu Bei's respect for Lu Bu.

After Xu Huang left, Jia Xu rushed to the Hou Mansion immediately.

If an ordinary captive is missing, it is nothing. The key missing person is Zhang Fei, and it is before Zhang Fei makes a decision. If a general like Zhang Fei makes a choice, he will be freed Serving in the army, it is not easy to leave, but if Zhang Fei rescues others, it is another matter.

Lu Bu is obviously very concerned about Zhang Fei's affairs, otherwise, he would not have been allowed to go to Zhang Fei's residence to persuade him.

"These thieves are very courageous." After Jia Xu murmured, he entered the Hou's residence.

When he learned that Jia Xu was coming and was in charge of defending the guards of the Hou Mansion, he reported it immediately.

After seeing Lu Bu, Jia Xu immediately told what happened tonight.

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Zhang Fei was rescued?"

"Exactly, more than a dozen soldiers guarding Zhang Fei's residence died, and after Zhang Fei escaped, the guards found out." Jia Xu said.

Lv Bu snorted coldly: "How dare you be so arrogant in Pengcheng, you really think that I am so easy to bully."

"My lord, calm down for the time being. At present, there are many envoys from princes in Pengcheng. If they search their residences, if nothing is found, it will cause dissatisfaction among other princes." Jia Xu urged hastily.

"What about Wenhe?" Lu Bu asked.

Jia Xu thought for a while and said: "Master, my subordinates have ordered General Xu Huang to search the residence of Liu Bei's emissary, and the search in the city is also in progress. If such a search fails, we can only wait until the gate of the inner city is opened." It's time to conduct an investigation as much as possible."

"Just in terms of harmony." Lu Bu nodded.

How could he not understand the truth in Jia Xu's words, but Zhang Fei's reply was only tomorrow, and this kind of thing happened tonight, which really made Lu Bu a little annoyed.

In Pengcheng, someone actually did this thing. Needless to say, Liu Bei must have had a lot to do with this incident. After Zhang Fei was rescued, it was Liu Bei who benefited the most.

"My lord, judging from the injuries of the soldiers guarding Zhang Fei's residence, those who rescued Zhang Fei were all masters," Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Are they all masters? If so, could it be that Liu Bei trained other forces in secret?"

"Subordinates dare not speak nonsense," Jia Xu said.

"Wenhe, let's go back for now. The inner city is so big, it's not easy to search for Zhang Fei who escaped." Lu Bu said.

Zhang Fei chose to escape at such a time, obviously he did not intend to take refuge in himself. Even if Zhang Fei was caught again, Lu Bu would directly execute him, and he could not use it for himself. The best way is to kill him to avoid others. Cause trouble for yourself in the future.

It was precisely because of his appreciation of Zhang Fei's ability that Lu Bu did not deal with Zhang Fei for a long time.

However, Zhang Fei was able to escape from Pengcheng. Although it was a loss for Lu Bu, Lu Bu would have enough confidence to kill Zhang Fei in the future.

It is true that Liu Guanzhang gathered together to be superior, but Lu Bu also had many strong generals under his command. During the battle, these strong generals were dispatched. Could it be said that they could not defeat Liu Bei and others?

Xu Chu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and others are all warriors on the battlefield, and it is easy to defeat Liu, Guan and Zhang.

It's just that sometimes, when Lu Bu was fighting, he didn't want to break the rules of fighting.

During the battle, the two sides send brave men to fight in front of the battle. The winning side can greatly improve the morale of its own side and encourage the lieutenant soldiers.

At this time, what is important is personal bravery. If two people fight against one enemy, even if they win, it is impossible for the soldiers in the army to be promoted.

And the battle is a good time for the general to become famous in the army. Through the battle, the general's personal martial arts can be better displayed.

Didn't Lu Bu become famous among the princes through fighting, he fought against Liu, Guan and Zhang three, blocked the attack of Liu, Guan and Zhang, and was praised by the princes as the number one general.

Now that Lu Bu is in charge of Xuzhou, he still hasn't relaxed his training in martial arts. In troubled times, it is necessary to have strong martial arts, especially for a fierce general like Lu Bu who leads the lieutenant soldiers on the battlefield. Weakness will even affect whether it can survive on the battlefield.

The strength of the Xuzhou army is strong, and it can move forward bravely when facing the enemy. This has a lot to do with the fact that the generals of the Xuzhou army do not have more fear when facing the war. In the face of war, if you can't fight bravely, it is very difficult to let the soldiers under your command perform better in battle.

Shaking his head, Lu Bu returned to the room.

The red candles were burning in the room. Seeing that Lu Bu was thinking with his head down, Xiu'er stepped forward gently and poured tea for Lu Bu.

This night, it was not safe for the people living in the inner city. The envoys of the princes tried not to disturb them as much as possible, but all the officials in Xuzhou got the news that Zhang Fei, who was imprisoned in the inner city, had disappeared.

The officials in Xuzhou would naturally not refuse to cooperate with the search, and the servants and guards at home assisted in the search.

At such a time, the officials would not dare to disobey Jia Xu's order. Besides, this was their time to show their innocence. If they stopped the soldiers under Xu Huang's command, who could be sure what the result would be.

When dealing with the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, Lu Bu's methods have always been tough. What Lu Bu needs is a cooperative aristocratic family. On this point, the Xuzhou family has a deep understanding.

Chapter 454

Xu Huang personally led the soldiers to the residence of Liu Bei's envoy.

The door was opened shortly after the sound of knocking, and under the light of the fire, Xu Huang saw the vigilant appearance of the soldiers in the emissary team, and even many soldiers had already unsheathed their weapons.

Xu Huang said in a deep voice: "I was ordered to come here to do something, if there is anyone who obstructs, I will kill him."

In front of Liu Bei's emissary, it is very necessary to be tough. Besides, Liu Bei can only be called a weak prince's emissary. Liu Bei's strength is determined by the grievances between Liu Bei and Wenhou in the past. The envoy was offended, and Liu Bei did not dare to have more revenge.

Besides, even if Xu Huang had a polite attitude towards Liu Bei's envoy, could it be said that Liu Bei would still attack Lu Bu when he saw an opportunity?

Not long after Lv Bu entered Xuzhou, he endured successive wars, among which Liu Bei was involved.

Now that Lu Bu's strength is strong, it is difficult for Liu Bei to resist, so he has to obediently send envoys to Xuzhou.

Jian Yong stepped forward and waved his hands, and the soldiers in the courtyard put away their weapons one after another, turned their eyes to Xu Huang and said, "The officials under Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Xiapingyuan, dare to ask who this general is?"

Xu Huang clasped his fists and said, "This general, Xu Huang, is a Lieutenant Colonel of the Xuzhou Army."

"It turned out to be General Xu. I don't know why he came here late at night?" Jian Yong asked.

Xu Huang snorted coldly, "Don't tell me you don't know why I came here?"

Jian Yong said flatly: "If General Xu speaks like this, I have nothing to say."

Xu Huang's attitude was extremely tough, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers who followed Jian Yong. Anyway, Jian Yong came on behalf of Liu Bei, and he was also a person of status. In Xuzhou, he was a soldier in the army. The general's collision, such a thing, what is said will have a considerable impact on Liu Bei's prestige.

"Search!" Xu Huang ordered with a wave of his hand.

The accompanying soldiers immediately walked into the room and began to search.

Outside the room, the soldiers of the army were waiting in full battle, this was also to prevent people from fleeing during the search.

After searching, Xu Huang frowned slightly, "Excuse me."

Jian Yong snorted coldly: "General Xu insulted me so much, it is inevitable that he will say something in front of Marquis Wen tomorrow."

"It's up to you." Xu Huang gave an order, and the soldiers in the army withdrew one after another.

Zhang Fei's escape may have been caused by Liu Bei, but after Zhang Fei escaped, will he go to the residence of Liu Bei's envoy?

Jian Yong looked at Xu Huang's disappearing figure, with a smile on his lips.

The next day, the news about last night's search spread in the inner city at a very fast speed, and the story of Zhang Fei being rescued by unknown persons was also known to more princes.

After the envoys from all parties heard the news, their first reaction was that this incident was done by someone sent by Liu Bei.

Zhang Fei is a good general, but after Zhang Fei was rescued, it was Liu Bei who benefited the most, and there was no need for other princes to do such a thing.

While Liu Bei was waiting, he sent someone to rescue Zhang Fei in Pengcheng, but it was a provocation to Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu got married, the envoys who came here had a deep understanding of how the public security in Pengcheng was.

If you challenge Pengcheng's system, you are standing on the opposite side of Lu Bu. At present, Lu Bu is the upstart among the princes, and the rest of the princes have requests for Lu Bu.

At this time, if Liu Bei really did such a thing, he would have offended Lu Bu, and it was not an ordinary offence.

Besides, is it necessary for other princes to frame Liu Bei at this time? Liu Bei just occupies the plains, and compared to other princes, his strength is too weak.

Although Liu Bei claimed to be a clan member of the Han Dynasty in ordinary times, Liu Bei, a clan clan member of the Han Dynasty, was not recognized.

And the Han Dynasty has lasted for hundreds of years, how many Han clan clansmen there are, and I don't know how many clan clans of the Han clan have declined.

The princes will not pursue things that cannot be verified too much. The main reason is that Liu Bei is not strong enough.

Before Jian Yong went to see Lv Bu, Jian Yong got the news that the five hundred hundred refined weapons originally planned to be sold to Liu Bei were cancelled.

Jian Yong's heart sank after listening to the order from the Xuzhou officials. After being equipped with hundreds of refined weapons in the army, it will be of great help to the improvement of the strength of the soldiers in the army. Liu Bei's reputation among the princes is not obvious. The lack of strength has a lot to do with it. If Liu Bei can obtain a large number of hundred-refined weapons from Lu Bu, it will have many benefits for Liu Bei.

Even if Jian Yong has many grievances, he still has no way to express them at this moment.

The defense of the inner city is tighter than before, the most important thing is the interrogation at the gates of the inner city, but anyone who leaves the inner city will be strictly interrogated by the state of Jin.

However, Zhang Fei seemed to have lost track of him. For three consecutive days, no trace of Zhang Fei was found.

With the end of Lu Bu's wedding, the princes and envoys left one after another.

They came to Pengcheng in order to maintain a better relationship with Lu Bu. By the way, they bought weapons from Lu Bu, immortal jade, and paper. The princes don't need to worry more about it, but weapons are related to soldiers in the army. The strength of strength.

In the era when the princes are fighting, having a powerful army is of great significance to the princes.

The reason why Lu Bu was able to rise among the princes was because of Lu Bu's strong strength. If not, Lu Bu would still be carrying the identity of a big man and a traitor.

Lu Bu's Xuzhou Shepherd has a bad reputation, but now who will blame Lu Bu more on this matter.

The envoys of the princes left, and Pengcheng's business activities gradually came to an end, which greatly reduced the number of merchants in Pengcheng.

However, there are still many businessmen who choose to settle in Pengcheng. What they see from Lu Bu is that they attach importance to businessmen. It is easy to talk about businessmen with the support of aristocratic families, but it is not so simple for some small businessmen to survive. Living in Pengcheng can make them feel at ease.

If you have made a certain contribution to Xuzhou's business, you may even be able to enter the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce, and it is possible to obtain an official position.

Generally speaking, Xuzhou's system is of great help to businessmen. Under such circumstances, they can ensure their own safety and at the same time obtain more benefits. What is more important to businessmen than such things? To feel at ease.

Lu Bu naturally welcomes the choice of merchants. Without merchants, the development of a city will undoubtedly be much slower. With the help of merchants, only the speed of development cannot be compared with the past.

Chapter 455 Jia Xu Recommends Li Su

Pengcheng has the goods that merchants need, and attracts more merchants to transport Pengcheng's goods to farther places. It is still Lu Bu who gets the most benefits. Lu Bu has considered the matters here very clearly.

As for Pengcheng's secrets, others will find out, and Lu Bu will have strict precautions in this regard.

Only fairy jade and paper can temporarily meet Xuzhou's business needs, but in Lu Bu's view, it is still far from enough. If more things that are not available in this era can be produced, they will be spread to various places through the hands of merchants, and obtain The speed of interest will be faster.

The current situation is generally good. The princes have sent envoys to make friends, which shows that they have recognized their status among the princes.

Lu Bu deeply understands that the current situation depends on the continuous victories of the lieutenant soldiers in the war. To continue to maintain such a position, it is very necessary for the lieutenant soldiers to maintain a strong combat effectiveness.

In the era when the princes fought each other for their own interests, with stronger strength, they could better protect themselves.

There are not a few literati who choose to stay in Pengcheng, but the quality of these so-called literati is definitely much worse than that of other princes.

How to make better use of the power of literati is a problem that Jia Xu and others need to worry about.

Xuzhou has a lot of talents. How these talents can be better used for themselves is also extremely important. Scholars have a lot of dissatisfaction with Lu Bu. This is an out-and-out fact. Who made Lu Bu betray Ding Yuan? After that, he did so many shameless things.

Even though he was burdened with a lot of infamy, Lu Bu's achievements during the wars of the princes were eye-catching. Lu Bu was not depressed because of the opposition of other princes, and even established some achievements.

"My lord, the current princes' envoys leave Pengcheng, which is also the best time for my lord to stabilize the relationship with other princes." Jia Xu said.

Other officials in Xuzhou nodded after hearing Jia Xu's words. Lu Bu got married, and the other princes sent envoys here because they recognized Lu Bu's status among the princes. It is necessary to arouse dissatisfaction among more princes and maintain better relations with other princes.

Even though the Xuzhou army is powerful, it is still insufficient in numbers when facing other princes. With the gradual improvement of Lu Bu's strength, more and more families in Xuzhou are moving closer to Lu Bu. They choose to trust Lu Bu for the time being. .

In fact, the Xuzhou family who first took refuge in Lu Bu gained a lot of benefits. They gained a lot of benefits when they took the lead. Other things, not to mention just immortal jade and paper, are enough to make Xuzhou The family has collected a lot of money.

Of course, when these families collected money, they brought a lot of income to the State Shepherd's Mansion.
