The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

In the old days, Sun Jian got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in the palace, Yuan Shao asked Liu Biao to intercept Sun Jian secretly, and even shot and killed the Jiangdong tiger in the subsequent battle.

The grievances between the Sun family and Jingzhou kicked off.

Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, is known as the little overlord of Jiangdong. After entering Jiangdong, he pacified many counties and counties in Jiangdong in a short period of time, and his strength has also been greatly improved.

After his strength improved, how could Sun Ce let Jingzhou go? It was because the Jingzhou army let Sun Jian die in the first place. The revenge of killing his father was irreconcilable. There were many confrontations between the two armies.

The strength of the Jingzhou Navy, coupled with the rich heritage of Jingzhou, even if the Jiangdong Army under the command of Sun Ce is not weak, it is impossible to get more benefits from the Jingzhou Army.

There are often confrontations between the two sides, and in the confrontation, the enmity also surges.

And Sun Ce's supporter is Yuan Shu. Without Yuan Shu's support, how could Sun Ce grow to where he is today? It can be said that Jingzhou will often be in the middle of war and has a great relationship with Yuan Shu.

After the attack on Yuzhou, the relationship between Liu Biao and Yuan Shu became worse. Currently, in Yuzhou, only Runan County is under the control of Yuan Shu, and the rest of the counties are divided between Liu Biao and Lu Bu.

There is no grievance between Liu Biao and Lu Bu. No matter how many battles there are between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, in Liu Biao's view, it has nothing to do with the Jingzhou Army. The Jingzhou Army can achieve certain success in attacking Yuzhou , in Liu Biao's view, it is something that can be satisfied.

Yuan Shu is a powerful existence among the princes in the world today. How many princes can only be cautious when facing Yuan Shu.

Attacking Yuzhou ruled by Yuan Shu is also the determination of the Jingzhou family. Anyway, the relationship between Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and Sun Ce is the same. It is better to directly benefit from Yuan Shu. Besides, Yuan Shu failed in the battle with the Xuzhou army. A good opportunity to attack Yuzhou.

At present, the big Han and the princes are fighting for their own interests. If Liu Biao can't do more in this process, it will have a great impact on the safety of Jingzhou after the rise of powerful princes around him.

Under such circumstances, the dispatch of the Jingzhou Army became inevitable.

Although the war between the two sides has come to an end, the enmity has already been forged. Ordinarily, Yuan Shu shouldn't have sent envoys to Jingzhou.

Yuan Shu is a powerful existence among the princes, and he must value his own face. If he sent an envoy to Jingzhou after the defeat, wouldn't he be showing weakness, and it would have a big impact on Yuan Shu if the news spread.

Of course, the fact that Yuan Shu sent envoys to Jingzhou was controlled within a very small range.

Liu Biao said: "Yuan Shu's envoy has arrived in the city. I am not very clear about Yuan Shu's intentions. At this time, I will go from another degree to find out the purpose of Yuan Shu's envoy. If you want to get benefits from my hand, Impossible."

"Here." Kuai Yue clapped his hands and said.

Kuai Liang said: "My lord, from my subordinate's point of view, Yuan Shu may have other purposes in sending envoys here."

When Liu Biao heard the words, he couldn't help turning his eyes to Kuai Liang, "Just speak out."

Kuai Liang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Among the current princes, the one who can pose a threat to Yuan Shu is Lu Bu. Although Yuan Shu and Lu Bu form an alliance, anyone can see that this is a compromise after Yuan Shu's defeat. If it is possible , Yuan Shu definitely wants to defeat Lu Bu and retake the lost city, but Lu Bu has a strong army, and it is too difficult to defeat Lu Bu, and it is very difficult for Yuan Shu to succeed."

"If Yuan Shu and the lord formed an alliance to attack Lu Bu, the situation would be very different."

Kuai Liang's words moved the hearts of the officials present. Forming an alliance with Yuan Shu to attack Lu Bu sounds like a very good proposal.

It is good that Lu Bu has a great reputation among the princes, but Lu Bu's reputation among the princes is very bad. If you attack Lu Bu, you can easily find righteousness, and then the Jingzhou army will stand on the commanding heights of righteousness.

But after thinking about Lv Bu's strength, such thoughts gradually disappeared. Lv Bu could defeat even a powerful prince like Yuan Shu. Even if the Jingzhou army attacked Lv Bu, how much advantage would he have? If the battle is not successful, On the contrary, if you lose troops and lose generals, it will not be so good.

It is not easy for Jingzhou to have the current stability. There is no need to keep Jingzhou in turmoil for an uncertain war.

Chapter 666 Controversy among important officials in Jingzhou

Cai Mao said: "I will not agree with the words of the long history. Lv Bu, who occupies the land of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, is far stronger than Yuan Shu. If he attacks Lv Bu, he will put Jingzhou in danger. Once Lv Bu gets angry, he will send If the army attacks Jingzhou, how turbulent Jingzhou will be."

Kuai Liang smiled and said, "General Cai, let me finish my speech."

"What this official said is only the purpose of Yuan Shu's sending envoys here. Whether this is the case or not can only be known after talking with the envoys."

Liu Biao nodded and said, "When dealing with Yuan Shu's envoy, there is no need to be weak. This time we attacked Yuzhou, and we won a big victory."

Kuai Yue said yes.

At present, the powerful families in Jingzhou are the Kuai family and the Cai family. These two families have made great efforts to help Liu Biao stabilize Jingzhou. It is simply impossible to keep Jingzhou in a stable state.

When Chen Gong handles Yanzhou affairs, it is more about balancing the interests of the various families and letting each family do things for the State Shepherd's Mansion. Liu Biao obviously has more clever means in this matter.

Combined with the strength of the Jingzhou family, Jingzhou is in a stable state, and the rapid development of Jingzhou far surpasses other states and counties. The achievements in this area alone are enough to make Liu Biao proud.

But now Liu Biao also knows that Jingzhou was stabilized with the help of the family at the beginning. When these families contribute more to the development of Jingzhou, they will definitely get more benefits from it. At this time, if you want more It is already impossible to stop the development of the aristocratic and wealthy families.

The Kuai family and the Cai family have great influence in Jingzhou. Even Liu Biao needs to be more cautious when facing the suggestions of the Kuai family and the Cai family.

In these matters, Liu Biao did not feel ashamed. The powerful family under his rule was also part of the power of the princes.

The current overall situation in Jingzhou is still good. Try to get out of the war. After Yuan Shu and Lu Bu have a fight, the Jingzhou Army can play a big role. Maybe it can occupy more cities from Lu Bu and Yuan Shu.

After tasting the sweetness of the war, Liu Biao believed that the Jingzhou family would have more thoughts when facing the war.

After the other officials left, Liu Biao turned his attention to Cai Mao and said, "General Cai, Jingzhou currently has [-] elites who are invincible. If we join forces with Yuan Shu, Lu Bu will surely be in a desperate situation. After defeating Lu Bu, the Jingzhou army will also be defeated." Can get more cities."

Cai Mao said: "Zhou Mu, currently Lu Bu is a powerful existence among the princes. In the past, when Lu Bu was in a weak situation, Yuan Shu could not win, let alone now."

Seeing Cai Mao's words of admiration for Lu Bu, Kuai Yue snorted coldly: "General Cai, although Lu Bu has certain means, he is a traitor of a big man. How can he be soft when dealing with such traitors?"

Cai Mao said: "I'm afraid that we will not succeed in eradicating the rebels, but defeat the rebels instead. That would be bad."

"You..." Kuai Yue blushed.

Liu Biao shook his head secretly. At present, there are grievances and grievances between the families in Jingzhou. As the super families in Jingzhou, there are some grievances and grievances between the Cai family and the Kuai family. It is obvious to all, but this situation is exactly what Liu Biao wants to see It turns out that if the families under the rule unite and cooperate, they can directly negotiate on some matters, and there is no need to discuss with the monarch at all.

There are fights between families, and the weight of the monarch can be better reflected.

Liu Biao also has a lot of ideas about the power of Jingzhou. He is a great man Jingzhou Mu, who is in charge of Jingzhou's military administration. If he can take more power from the hands of the aristocratic family, it will be beneficial to his future development. Great help.

Kuai Liang said: "General Cai's worry is also reasonable."

Cai Mao's face was bright when he heard this, he has a very high status in the army, if he does not agree to fight, it will not be easy for the soldiers in the army to transfer.

"However, Yuan Shu is currently at a disadvantage when fighting against Lu Bu. Once Yuan Shu sends an envoy to seek cooperation, but Jingzhou refuses, it will undoubtedly push Yuan Shu to a dead end. With Yuan Shu's current strength, he wants to fight against Lu Bu. There are greater achievements, and there are too many difficulties."

"Lv Bu, who was born as a military general, has such fierce methods during the war. General Cai must have heard about it. If such a general continues to develop in Yanzhou and Xuzhou, what kind of threat will he pose to Jingzhou? Woolen cloth?"

"It should be noted that at present, Lu Bu not only borders Yuan Shu, but also borders the city of Jingzhou. When Yuan Shu faces Lu Bu, he will not be able to win. It will be Lu Bu's strength that will grow stronger. At that time, what will Lu Bu set his sights on? where?"

Kuai Liang's words caused Cai Mao to fall into deep thought. Lv Bu's great achievements in battle and his fierce reputation among the princes were obtained through the victories he won in battles. He wanted to do more when dealing with Lv Bu. , It is very difficult for the princes.

Facing Lu Bu, one cannot give up easily, nor can one provoke him easily.

Many families in Jingzhou secretly went to Xuzhou to do business. Such a thing is no secret in Jingzhou. Lu Bu has a large amount of goods in his hands. These goods are very attractive to aristocratic families.

Letting the family get more benefits through business is what many families are doing, and there is nothing shameful about it.

The goods in Lu Bu's hands also attracted the Jingzhou family, but they racked their brains and secretly ordered people to imitate them, but they didn't succeed.

After Lu Bu's strength becomes stronger, it will definitely have a great influence on the surrounding princes, so that more princes will not dare to act rashly when facing Lu Bu.

When the war broke out, Lu Bu had extremely powerful means, and such powerful means brought Lu Bu a more resounding reputation among the princes.

What would happen to ordinary princes if they offended Lu Bu?

Families that have more cooperation with Lu Bu will definitely have some support for Lu Bu secretly. Fortunately, Lu Bu does not have the reputation of Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, which also reduces Lu Bu's influence among the princes a lot.

Chapter 667 This kind of power should not be underestimated

If not, the mighty Lu Bu will definitely cause many families to scramble to join him.

Families with a strong background will be more cautious when choosing a monarch, because the choices they make may have a major impact on the future fate of their family.

A wrong choice may even cause the family to be destroyed when the princes are fighting.

The members of the aristocratic family, how much effort has been made for the development of the family, how can they watch the interests of the family disappear like this.

Cai Hao still recognized Kuai Liang's words. Who would have thought that Yuan Shu, who was well-known among the princes, would not be able to win when he confronted Lu Bu?

"From Changshi's point of view, Jingzhou wants to form an alliance with Yuan Shu to fight against Lu Bu?" Cai Mao turned his attention to Kuai Liang, but this time he was more cautious.

Kuai Liang nodded and said: "Yuan Shu sent envoys to Jingzhou for this purpose in all likelihood. Only after the two sides form an alliance can there be more benefits. When Lv Bu stabilizes Xuzhou and Yanzhou, he wants to get more from Lv Bu." The more benefits, the more impossible it is.”

Cai Mao said, "If Yuan Shu sent an envoy here, wouldn't it be for this matter?"

"Yuan Shu is a well-known existence among the vassals. He is proud and arrogant. Maybe he came to Jingzhou to ask for the lost city."

Kuai Liang said with a smile: "Even if Yuan Shu couldn't think of uniting Jingzhou against Lu Bu, his advisers would definitely consider this aspect. After failing to confront Lu Bu, Yuan Shu suffered a lot. If we don't find other ways, it will have a greater impact on Yuan Shu in the future."

"When Yuan Shu unites with Jingzhou, it will pose a great threat to Lu Bu. At that time, it will not be Lu Bu who sends troops to attack Yuzhou or Jingzhou, but our troops to take the initiative to seize more cities."

Speaking of this, a bright light flashed in Kuai Liang's eyes. The monarch has greater achievements, and only following the monarch's rear can he have greater possibilities. Before Liu Biao was in Jingzhou, he was more concerned with balancing the various families in Jingzhou. Benefits, so that the State Shepherd's Mansion has more power, such a method will definitely not last long.

Only when one's own strength becomes stronger can it occupy a more important weight in the era of princes fighting.

Lu Bu is a good target to attack. Lu Bu's reputation among literati is very bad. Attacking Lu Bu can be recognized by literati. Besides, after uniting with Yuan Shu, Jingzhou won the victory. .

Even though Lu Bu's strength is strong, it is simply impossible to use Xuzhou and Yanzhou's soldiers and horses to do more against the Jingzhou army and Yuan Shu army. , Let the people of Xuzhou and Yanzhou panic.

"Lv Bu currently occupies the lands of Yanzhou and Xuzhou. However, there are many families in the two states who are dissatisfied with Lu Bu. Secretly uniting these families can deal a fatal blow to Lu Bu. At that time, the strength of the lord will grow stronger and stronger. The development of the family also has a long-term impact." Kuai Liang said straightforwardly.

"Even if Yuan Shu sent envoys here not for the purpose of forming an alliance, we can take the initiative to mention it. This is for the long-term development of Jingzhou."

Liu Biao nodded approvingly. The feudal lords are in dispute, and a great era is coming. In such a chaotic situation, what the vassals can do is of great importance. If they cannot make outstanding achievements when fighting with other vassals If not, it may eventually evolve into a vassal of other princes.

Liu Biao didn't want to go to that point. Jingzhou was developed, and how much effort was put in. If there are princes who covet Jingzhou and want to break through Jingzhou, Liu Biao will definitely send troops to resist tenaciously. This is also the dignity of a prince.

Yuan Shu's strength is strong, and Liu Biao will not have more fear. This is also an important reason why Liu Biao sent troops to attack Yuzhou after Yuan Shu failed to fight against Lu Bu.

Under such circumstances, Yuan Shu was the most powerful among the surrounding princes, and weakening Yuan Shu's power as much as possible would give Jingzhou more opportunities.

Who would have thought that when Lu Bu was developing his rule, he had such fierce means, which allowed Xuzhou and Yanzhou to develop a lot in a short period of time. It is a sure thing for Yanzhou to gain a firm foothold.

When the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army join forces, it will be a nightmare for other princes.

It is conceivable how difficult it is to win a head-on battle against Lu Bu. Lu Bu is a long-established and powerful general of the big man, leading the army in battle, and looking at the world, few people can match it.

In the era of feudal lords fighting, it seems necessary to kick Lu Bu, a lord who was born as a general, out of the game as soon as possible.

No matter how powerful Lu Bu is, how much he can do when facing the combination of Jingzhou Army and Yuan Shu Army.

"My lord, the total number of soldiers and horses in Xuzhou and Yanzhou is nearly [-]. This kind of strength should not be underestimated." Cai Mao reminded.

Seeing Cai Mao let go, Liu Biao smiled and said, "General Cai is too worried. The Yanzhou Army has only just been formed. Even if it has tens of thousands of people, its role on the battlefield is limited."

"My lord's words are very true. The Xuzhou craftsman workshop has a lot of good things. The gunpowder used to break through the city gate, the paper, the immortal jade, and the immortal drunk. After the production methods of these things are obtained, the development of Jingzhou will be greatly promoted. .” Kuai Liang said.

Cai Mao clasped his fists in thought for a moment and said, "Everything is subject to the Lord's order."

Liu Biao smiled when he heard this. Cai Mao is the representative of the Cai family. After Cai Mao agrees to this matter, the Cai family in Jingzhou will not have more opposition. Big, is beyond the imagination of ordinary princes.

Xuzhou is rich and prosperous. Could it be said that Jingzhou is weak? It should be noted that Jingzhou seldom has wars. How many people fled to Jingzhou because of avoiding wars, which gives Jingzhou a great advantage in terms of population compared to other states and counties.

Taking advantage of this advantage as much as possible will allow Liu Biao to have greater convenience when competing with the princes.

In the eyes of many princes, Jingzhou is just sticking to it, and it is difficult to do more. Now, Liu Biao will show his edge in front of the princes, so that more princes can see that the Jingzhou army is also powerful. The presence.

Chapter 668 Must Get More Benefits

The princes have great ambitions, and they must have a powerful army as a support. This is also inevitable. If they don't even have a powerful army, they will have more advantages when they want to confront other princes. The great righteousness is not enough.

In the process of development, princes will inevitably do things that violate the system. When other princes face these things, they have always kept silent, because such things will also be their turn, and they will take a small matter It's not a wise move to hold on.

Just like how many methods Lu Bu used to develop Xuzhou, are such methods open and aboveboard?

However, when Lu Bu was dealing with some families who broke the law and discipline, the butcher knife in his hand didn't stop any more.

Lu Bu's actions in Xuzhou and Yanzhou are very difficult to win the support of more families.

When the princes faced Lu Bu, why were they not guarded? After all, Lu Bu was a military commander, and the way of thinking about problems would definitely be simpler. Lu Bu would do things that were beneficial to him. If not, Lu Bu would resolutely will not choose.

This is completely different from other princes who balance the interests of the families under their rule.

It is precisely because of Lu Bu's brutal methods that it will be difficult for Lu Bu to gain the support of more families in the process of developing his rule.

In fact, this is not the shortcoming of Lu Bu.

The aristocratic family is of great significance to a prince. With more family support, the prince will have more possibilities when developing his own strength. If not, even if the prince has fierce means , wanting to have greater achievements is not a simple matter.

"Since this is the case, when the alien is talking with Yuan Shu's envoy, after understanding his attitude, he can discuss cooperation matters, but Jingzhou must get more benefits." Liu Biao said.

Kuai Yue bowed his hands and said yes, but he had more expectations in his heart. What kind of turmoil would be caused in the Han Dynasty when Jingzhou united with Yuan Shu? At that time, more princes would definitely be surprised.

Because there is a grievance between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, but they can reach a consensus on the matter of the alliance against Lu Bu.
