The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

Zhang Zhao has the backbone of a literati, but it doesn't mean that he wants to die at the hands of Lu Bu. Lu Bu's reputation is already rotten.

During this period, Zhang Zhao thought of many ways, but Xuzhou's house arrest did not stop at all.

Until Lu Bu appeared outside the courtyard.

"Marquis Wen is here, hurry up and salute to greet him." A soldier saw that Zhang Zhao was still sitting in the courtyard, so he couldn't help but stepped forward and scolded.

Zhang Zhao snorted coldly, completely ignoring the soldiers' scolding.

"You, after seeing Marquis Wen, if you still behave like this, you will definitely be punished." Perhaps it was because Zhang Zhao had been guarding him for a long time, and the soldiers expressed concern about Zhang Zhao's situation.

The soldiers who followed Lu Bu quickly took over the control of the courtyard, and Lu Bu and Jia Xu walked into the courtyard.

Seeing a person in the courtyard pouring himself a drink in a contented manner, Lu Bu frowned slightly.

"Marquis Wen, this person is Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu." Jia Xu stepped forward and said in a low voice.

Lv Bu snorted coldly: "It's quite airy. When I saw Ben Hou coming, I didn't even know how to stand up to greet him. Could it be that all scholars in the world are so arrogant?"

"It's not that the literati are arrogant, it's just that there must be someone who is worthy of the literati's salute." Zhang Zhao said flatly.

Lu Bu's complexion was a bit unkind, "You have a sharp tongue."

Seeing that the words between the two were a little fierce, Jia Xu hurried forward and said, "Marquis Wen came here specially when he found out that Zhang Zibu is here."

Zhang Zhao's face softened a little when he heard the words. At first he was invited by Tao Qian to come to Pengcheng, but after rejecting Tao Qian's appointment, he was put under house arrest in Pengcheng. In Zhang Zhao's view, such things were a great shame.

Who would have thought that the majestic governor of Xuzhou would actually engage in acts of coercion.

"With Zhang Zibu's intelligence, I must have already guessed the purpose of this general's visit?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

"Marquis Wen is brave. No one in the world can stop him. I'm just a literati. Why should Marquis Wen come here in person? Please come back, Marquis Wen," Zhang Zhao said flatly.

Although the words were polite, the intention to reject Lu Bu was extremely obvious.

Lu Bu invited: "Zibu has great talent, and he was ordered to govern the land of Xuzhou, which is just the time for Zibu to show his strength."

Zhang Zhaodao: "Differences do not conspire with each other. Tao Qian is the governor of Xuzhou appointed by the imperial court. You betrayed Ding Yuan and joined the old thief Lv Bu, and attacked the territory ruled by the courtiers of the Han Dynasty without authorization. , still want to make my subordinates succumb?"

Lu Bu's eyes suddenly turned cold. His previous behavior was indeed a bit deviant, but after coming to Dahan, Lu Bu did not regret his actions. He must survive in this troubled world and want to control his own destiny. The only way is to increase strength.

"In this way, Zibu doesn't want to join this general anymore?" Lu Bu asked indifferently.

Jia Xu hastily winked at Zhang Zhao. The reason why he came to Lv Bu's command in the first place was because of Lv Bu's arrogance. If he didn't agree to Lv Bu's words, it was very simple. He would be greeted by Lv Bu's butcher's knife. Anyway, the current Lv Bu is a broken pot Poshua, the reputation is already like this, do you still hope to improve your reputation by some means?

Zhang Zhao naturally noticed the change in Jia Xu's expression, and he still maintained his unruly side, "Take refuge in you? I don't want to bear the name of rebellion and be reviled by future generations. Even if I die, it doesn't matter."

"Come here, take Zhang Zhao out and behead him. He spends Xuzhou's money and food all day long, but he doesn't want to work for the general. What's the use of such people staying here?" Lu Bu said coldly.

Two soldiers immediately stepped forward, set up Zhang Zhao on the left and right, and dragged him away. They are soldiers in the army, and what they need to do is to carry out Lu Bu's orders to the letter.

Zhang Zhao's expression was calm, and he didn't show any fear in the face of death. Just this demeanor made the two soldiers a little admired.

Jia Xu hastily persuaded: "Marquis Wen, you must not execute this person, if so, Marquis Wen will be fooled."

Lu Bu stretched out his hand to stop the two soldiers, and asked, "Why did Wen He say that?"

"The Zhang family is a prominent family in Pengcheng. Zhang Zhao is a member of the Zhang family and has a reputation for talent. If he is executed, the literati in Xuzhou will definitely condemn Wen Houye. If Wen Hou wants to govern Xuzhou, he must need the help of talents. Wouldn’t this move chill the hearts of all the families in Xuzhou, and Zhang Zhao’s move was precisely to make Xuzhou’s family secretly turn their backs on Marquis Wen, and Marquis Wen executed Zhang Zibu, and he was the one who gained fame.” Jia Xu said.

Lu Bu snorted coldly: "It's just the Zhang family who wants to fight against this general. It seems that the Zhang family wants to pay a heavy price for this."

"It's not as bad as the family." Zhang Zhao said slowly. Although he was not afraid of death, he didn't want the Zhang family to be implicated because of it. The development of a big family did not happen overnight. Outstanding, but the Zhang family's influence is still great.

Lv Bu laughed loudly and said, "Here, there is nothing that will harm your family. As long as you offend me, your family will also suffer."

Lv Bu's laughter was extremely rampant, but when it fell into Zhang Zhao's ears, it made him feel powerless. It was nothing to meet someone like Tao Qian. If he didn't obey his appointment, he would be put under house arrest at most. For a general like Lv Bu, But it will bring disaster to the family, and it is useless to reason with people like Lu Bu.

"Zibu, you have to think carefully, Marquis Wen has never had so many scruples in doing things." Jia Xu stepped forward and said in a low voice.

After a long silence, Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to obey Marquis Wen's appointment."

"If it had been like this earlier, how could it be such a trouble?" Lu Bu said, "From now on, you can just help Wenhe. If you dare to make any small moves in secret, you will know the consequences."

The threatening words fell into Zhang Zhao's ears, and he had a completely different feeling. With his reputation, even if he went to other states and counties, he would definitely be appointed to an official position, but he could only work cautiously under Lu Bu's command.

And judging from Lu Bu's attitude, it will be difficult for the Zhang family to get rid of Lu Bu's control for the time being.

Zhang Zhao suddenly felt that the future of the Zhang family was dark.

Lu Bu's entry into Pengcheng was a very sudden event in itself, and his house arrest has not been lifted. Not only that, but what happened today, if not, the Zhang family must have left Pengcheng under Zhang Zhao's persuasion.

Chapter 49

Xuzhou at this time is a place of right and wrong, and if you are a little careless in it, you will be in danger of being destroyed.

Don't look at Lv Bu's powerful martial arts, unstoppable, how strong the princes of the world are, after they recover from the war against Dong Zhuo, they will definitely condemn Lv Bu, maybe the eighteenth princes will attack Dong Zhuo again At that time, even if Lu Bu has the ability to reach the sky, can he still protect Xuzhou's comprehensiveness?The most likely thing is that Xuzhou will become a piece of scorched earth, and more people will be displaced in the war.

The great Han has experienced a lot of turmoil, but the royal family still has a lot of weight in the minds of the courtiers of the Han Dynasty. Otherwise, why would the appointment of officials go through the Chang'an court.

But now, the fate of the Zhang family is involved with Lu Bu.

Looking at Zhang Zhao's reluctance, Jia Xu showed a slight smile. He came to work under Lu Bu's command at such a time when he was very unwilling. His fate was already tied to Lu Bu, unless he didn't want his life Flee from Xuzhou regardless of the fate of the family, or work for Lu Bu.

Zhang Zhao's fate is so similar, the difference is that Jia Xu values ​​his own life, Zhang Zhao focuses on the development of the family, and both of them have weaknesses in the hands of Lu Bu.

"Opportunities sometimes only come once. If Zibu does well, the Zhang family will naturally get a lot of benefits. Otherwise, you know it too." Lu Bu said slowly.

Zhang Zhao bowed his hands and said yes, he had to bow his head under the eaves, if the power of the Zhang family could be transferred away from Xuzhou, he would definitely not give in at all just now.

"The two of you can't slack off on the Xuzhou matter. As for the princes in the world wanting to see this general's jokes, I will surprise them at that time. It is wishful thinking to want to deal with this general just relying on Yanzhou Liu Dai." Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

Yanzhou has a vast territory, comparable to that of Xuzhou, but now Yanzhou is in a brief period of chaos. After Liu Dai returned, he made continuous moves, which gradually stabilized Yanzhou. No one can be sure. Will the Yellow Turbans flock again.

In the battle against the Yellow Turban, the Yanzhou Army's combat effectiveness was not as good as it was, not to mention the confrontation with the wolf-like Lv Bu. In the past, when the Yanzhou Army faced Lv Bu's army, they were defeated.

Now Lu Bu is following the principle that no one offends me and I don’t offend others. After all, he is on the cusp of the storm, and his every move is likely to bring about the attack of the princes of the world. Occupying Xuzhou itself challenges the nerves of other princes and continues to expand the territory. If so, it will bring more problems.

On some issues, as long as Jia Xu's analysis is reasonable, Lu Bu will still act according to Jia Xu's opinion.

In fact, in many cases, Lu Bu hopes that Jia Xu can continue to maintain this state, and make suggestions for the development of Xuzhou. Under the subtle influence, he believes that Jia Xu will make the most correct choice. At that time, there were even greater achievements.

What the princes are currently opposing is Lv Bu's move to attack Xuzhou, and after Lv Bu occupied Xuzhou, he has clearly expressed his resistance to Dong Zhuo's move to control the court. On this point, the princes can't find anything wrong with Lv Bu.

After solving Zhang Zhao's matter, Lu Bu did not relax, but ordered people to secretly monitor the Zhang family. If there was any change in the Zhang family, Lu Bu would not hesitate to attack the Zhang family.

If Zhang Zhao didn't seek refuge today, if Jia Xu hadn't stopped him, Zhang Zhao would have died, and even the Zhang family would be in bad luck. It is the most correct way to eradicate the factors that may pose a threat. Zhang Zhao can't use it for himself. Then you can't go to the command of other princes, and the death of a talent who can't be used by yourself is to weaken the enemy's strength.

If he could eradicate the well-known counselors under the command of other princes, Lu Bu would not hesitate to take action. Living in troubled times is itself an extremely difficult task.

Lv Bu didn't expect to be able to get famous counselors to take the initiative to take refuge with his current reputation. He needs to rely more on his own strength to start chasing other princes in troubled times.

After Yan Yu came to the State Shepherd's Mansion, the relationship with Xiu'er was very harmonious. Xiu'er was beautiful and had a miserable life experience, which easily aroused the protection of others.

Lu Bu returned to the State Shepherd's Mansion, saw several unfamiliar faces, and couldn't help asking: "But Madam has added servants?"

"General, it's Miss Mi who came here, these servants came to follow Miss Mi." The guards at the mansion said truthfully.

"Miss Mi? Mi Zhen? What is she doing at the house?" Lu Bu was puzzled. Although he and Mi Zhen had an engagement, they had never met each other. This is also the sorrow of many family women in this era. Where, for the benefit of the family, they have to live with people they have never met for the rest of their lives.

Lu Bu's identity and status are determined, as long as Mi Zhen marries into Lu Bu's house, it is absolutely impossible for her to go back.

Mi Zhen is a well-known beauty in Xuzhou. It is not a secret among the nobles in Xuzhou. There are not a few wealthy families who want to marry the Mi family. After getting involved with the Mi family, it can help these families grow their dark forces.

However, Mi Zhu chose to marry Lv Bu after Lv Bu entered Xuzhou, which made many families secretly despise him.

It cannot be denied that the Mi family's gamble played a role. Judging from the current development of the Mi family, it is much stronger than before. Just because of the fairy jade, the Mi family has gained a lot of benefits. It has increased the influence of the Mi family a lot.

Money touches people's hearts, even if the aristocratic family disdains Mi Zhu, who is talented in business, they must want to strengthen the family's strength. Only in this way can the family not decline.

Today's Mi family is not something that ordinary families can provoke.

Mi Zhen came to the State Shepherd's Mansion because she was invited by Yan Yu, and Mi Zhen was still very curious about the person she was about to marry. According to rumors, Lu Bu was a person with high martial arts skills and a cruel temperament. It is impossible to say in my heart that I am not apprehensive.

When Mi Zhen learned about this incident, she complained a lot about Mi Zhu and Mi Fang.

With Mi Zhu as a matchmaker, Mi Zhen gradually became curious about Lu Bu, and Lu Bu's reputation resounded throughout Xuzhou.

What worries Mi Zhen the most is Lu Bu's age. To become a state shepherd, Lu Bu is likely to be 50 or [-] years old. What a miserable fate it is to marry such a person as a concubine.

Chapter 50 In the second year of Chuping, the princes changed

Coincidentally, with Yan Yu's invitation, Mi Zhen came to the State Shepherd's Mansion to observe Lu Bu secretly.

"Ma'am, the general is back." A maid stepped forward and whispered.

Mi Zhen hurriedly got up and said: "Sister, I will resign as a concubine."

"Sister Zhen'er will be a family from now on, why bother to see outsiders like this, besides you cover up the veil, the general will not be able to see your face." Yan Yu said in a low voice: "Sister Zhen'er is very curious about the general. "

Mi Zhen's face was reddish, she nodded and agreed, she came to the State Shepherd's Mansion, she did have a reason to meet Lu Bu.

The famous fairy jade in Xuzhou was pursued by dignitaries, and Mi Zhen was no exception. When she learned that the fairy jade was actually made by Lu Bu, one can imagine the surprise in her heart.

"I have met the general." The maids on both sides saw Lu Bu and hurriedly saluted.

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "If you don't care, just go down."

With sword eyebrows and star eyes, the gestures of hands and feet give people the feeling of majesty and domineering. After Mi Zhen took a rough look at Lu Bu, she was about to leave with a flushed face, but Yan Yu held her back again.

"Husband, this is Sister Zhen'er, my concubine has nothing to do at home, that's why I asked Sister Zhen'er to come and chat." Yan Yu said with a smile.

"Greetings to Marquis Wen." Mi Zhen greeted Yingying.

With a crisp voice, like pearls falling on a jade plate, Lu Bu nodded and said, "Yu'er has only been in Xuzhou for a short time, and there are usually few people to talk to. If you are free, just come to the house."

Compared to Yan Yu, Mi Zhen is like a young apple. Although her body has developed well, the temperament exuded from her body still has a certain gap compared with Yan Yu. The feeling of Mi Zhen is more pure , Yan Yu is mature.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen." Mi Zhen saluted again.

"Let's chat, both of you." After speaking, Lu Bu turned and left.

"Sister Zhen'er, how are you looking?" Yan Yu asked with a smile.

Mi Zhen blushed and said, "Sister Cai just didn't dare to look carefully."

"The face is so red, and you still say you haven't seen it? How about watching it quietly when you have a chance in the future?" Yan Yu seduced: "With the beauty of Sister Zhen'er, after coming to the house, she will definitely be affected by it." General's favor."

Mi Zhenbuyi said: "Sister, don't make fun of my younger sister anymore."

Mi Zhen's coming to the State Shepherd's Mansion was nothing to Lu Bu, women also needed to move around, otherwise it would be so boring just staying in the mansion.

The first year of Chuping was a turbulent year for the Han Dynasty. First, the princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and then Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, which caused turmoil in the Han Dynasty, and there were also grievances among the princes.

The turmoil of the current situation has made many princes see the importance of improving their own strength. Only with strong strength in troubled times can they go further. The influence of the imperial court is no longer what it used to be. If you are strong enough, you can control your own destiny, and you can also show a tough attitude when facing the court's envoys. Such things were unimaginable in the past.

The vassals are on guard against each other. As for the young emperor in Chang'an, there are many courtiers who will pay attention to it. Their main goal now is to improve their own strength.

In this series of incidents, Lu Bu was outstanding. First, he betrayed Ding Yuan and joined Dong Zhuo, and helped Dong Zhuo eliminate the opponents in Luoyang City.

In the crusade of the princes, Lu Bu killed many powerful generals of the princes. Outside Hulao Pass, he fought against Liu, Guan and Zhang three times without losing. Such powerful martial arts can be called the number one general in the world.

However, when Dong Zhuo moved his capital, Lu Bu turned his back on Dong Zhuo's army, crossed the Yellow River, entered Yanzhou, and attacked Pengcheng, making Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, a bereaved dog. His various behaviors made people feel overwhelmed.

What the princes had to accept was that Lu Bu, who was only 25 years old, became a prince of one side.

The Kwantung princes who attacked Dong Zhuo were on the side of righteousness. At this time, they naturally wanted to denounce Lu Bu's shameless behavior. The reason why they didn't send troops to attack Xuzhou was because Xuzhou had Lu Bu, and the second was because they needed to recuperate after fighting Dong Zhuo. .

Poor Tao Qian, the governor of Xuzhou, is still in Yanzhou, waiting for his fate. What exactly is unknown, even if the princes sent troops to drive Lu Bu out of Xuzhou, would they hand over the city they got to Tao Qian to govern? .

Today's world is no longer the big man of the past, and the officials of the states and counties also have ambitions.

In the second year of Chuping, Yuan Shao proposed to establish Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as emperor. Liu Yu was a clan member of the Han family, and he was generous. Chang'an had a court, which was a hindrance to the princes of the world.

After a new emperor is installed, this problem can be solved.

Yuan Shao's proposal would be an irresistible temptation for any clan member of the Han Dynasty. What an honor it would be to be on the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

However, Liu Yu decisively rejected Yuan Shao's proposal.

Yuan Shu also stood up to oppose Yuan Shao's proposal with a clear-cut stand. It was not because Yuan Shu was loyal to the court of Chang'an, but because he saw that the strength of the great man was exhausted through the changes in the past few years. What's the point, as long as one's own strength is strong enough.

This was the first confrontation between Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao in righteousness. Both of them came from the famous Yuan family of the fourth generation and three lords. Their disciples and old officials were all over the world. Among them, Yuan Shao was also the leader of the princes and alliances, and his prestige was temporarily higher than Yuan Shu's.

But Yuan Shu is the direct son of the Yuan family, and has always despised Yuan Shao's parentage. Seeing Yuan Shao shouting and shouting among the princes, he was naturally unhappy. He is the most powerful person in the Yuan family. Yuan Shao, a concubine, should obey His orders act.

When Lv Bu captured Xuzhou in the past, Yuan Shao once stood up to express his opposition and called on the princes of the world to conquer Lv Bu.
