The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

However, when the princes learned about the treatment of the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army, there were no more surprises about the combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou Army on the battlefield.

In the Xuzhou army, even the most ordinary soldiers can have military pay. Looking at the princes of the world, except for Lu Bu, other princes have ever had such means.

With such encouragement, the soldiers in the army will work harder and work harder when facing training and war, and even sometimes, they will ignore their own lives, because after they die in battle, Their families are able to receive corresponding pensions.

What could be more reassuring than this.

It is the luck of ordinary soldiers to survive in the Xuzhou Army.

When the princes scolded Lu Bu, they lamented Lu Bu's strong financial resources, which shows how rich Xuzhou and Yanzhou brought to Lu Bu in the process of doing business.

And as long as Xuzhou can be breached, all of this will belong to the victorious princes.

Cai Mao said: "My lord, although there are [-] troops in the current Jingzhou army, many of the [-] troops are defending against the attack of Jiangdong soldiers and horses."

Liu Biao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, when the time comes to negotiate with Yang Hong, Sun Ce will take orders from Yuan Shu."

The existence of Sun Ce is not a small threat to Jingzhou. No one is sure when Sun Ce will lead the lieutenant generals to show up for Jingzhou.

Although Sun Ce's attack was fierce before, the effect was not very great, mainly because the Jingzhou army had a great advantage in numbers. If Sun Ce led the troops to attack Jingzhou after the Jingzhou army was dispatched, what would happen?

However, after uniting with Yuan Shu, this situation will change a lot. Sun Ce obeys Yuan Shu's orders. Facing Yuan Shu's orders, no matter how much dissatisfaction Sun Ce has in his heart, he can only suppress the dissatisfaction.

After Liu Biao and Yuan Shu united, the most important thing for both sides was to defeat Lu Bu and drive Lu Bu out of Xuzhou and Yanzhou. It was best not to give Lu Bu any chance to come back.

If a hero like Lu Bu was defeated and left on the battlefield of Xuzhou or Yanzhou with a grudge, it would pose a great threat to Liu Biao and Yuan Shu.

Lv Bu, who is highly skilled in martial arts, and the combat power of the cavalry commanded by him have been recognized by the princes. Among the armies of the princes, there are very few people who dare to confront Lv Bu head-on.

It is precisely because of his strong martial arts that Lu Bu can gain a foothold among the princes in a brutal way.

When Yuan Shu invaded Xuzhou, he was still unable to win the victory even though he was superior in military strength, which is enough to explain many problems.

If Yuan Shu could solve Lu Bu by himself, he would definitely not send envoys to Jingzhou to join forces with Liu Biao. The benefits he would get after successfully attacking Lu Bu alone are beyond imagination. The position among the princes will be more stable.

After the defeat in the war, even Yuan Shu had to bow his head to Lu Bu even though he was relatively strong among the princes, because Lu Bu was no longer a warrior in the past, and had already gained a famous name among the princes.

"Train the lieutenant soldiers a lot, so that the lieutenant soldiers must not slack off in the slightest. Lu Bu has led the army for many years, and there is no shortage of elite soldiers under his command. After the war began, the test for our army is still great. When fighting against Lu Bu, we The army can only win, not lose." Liu Biao said in a heavy voice.

Fighting Lu Bu, you can get a lot of benefits after you succeed, but if you fail, it will be ugly.

Kuai Yue said: "My lord, according to the news from Yang Hong, Yuan Shu is currently uniting with Liu Bei and Kong Rong in Qingzhou. Then Liu Bei has strong generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his command. He will surely succeed in containing Lu Bu on the battlefield."

"That's right, Yuan Gonglu considered this matter quite properly." Liu Biao nodded slightly.

Liu Bei and Kong Rong, who united Qingzhou, were also of great help to the coalition forces.

Liu Bei is currently among the vassals. Although he is a weak existence, the fierce generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under his command are out-and-out fierce men. Having such strong generals on the battlefield is also great for our own soldiers. little encouragement.

As for what kind of benefits Liu Bei can get from the war after the victory in attacking Lu Bu, it depends on what kind of means Liu Bei has.

What kind of benefits the princes strive for for themselves has a lot to do with their own strength.

Kong Rong in Beihai, a descendant of Confucius, has considerable influence among literati. If Kong Rong is allowed to join them, it will have a great impact on the momentum of the coalition forces.

In the past, there was a grudge between Kong Rong and Lu Bu. After Kong Rong saw the opportunity coming, there was no reason for Kong Rong to let Lu Bu go.

It is not bad that Lu Bu has a prominent reputation among the princes, but Kong Rong is a great Confucian in the world, facing a tyrannical warrior like Lu Bu, how could he be afraid at all.

If there is fear when facing Lu Bu, wouldn't it make the heroes of the world laugh.

"With Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the war is indeed much easier. I secretly ordered someone to tell Liu Bei that if a war happens, he will help me, and I will be rewarded generously." Liu Biao said.

Kuai Liang bowed his hands and said yes, knowing that this was Liu Biao's start to attract talents before the war started.

When there are more fierce generals in the Jingzhou Army, it will be helpful for future wars.

"My lord, Cao Cao is stationed in Nanyang. If he wants to fight Yanzhou, it is better to order him to lead the army. Under Cao Cao's tent, there are many strong generals." Cai Mao said.

Chapter 672

Liu Biao nodded approvingly. The enmity between Cao Cao and Lu Bu was very deep. When Cao Cao was the shepherd of Yanzhou, it was precisely because of the alliance between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu that they drove him out of Yanzhou. Will live under the fence.

In the face of such hatred, no one would remain calm. If given the opportunity, Cao Cao wouldn't want to get back his old face.

At the beginning, no one thought that Lu Bu, who was only a general, could cause such turmoil among the princes. Even after Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou and Yanzhou, the princes needed a joint attack.

Such things are enough to make Lu Bu more proud, but such pride will soon disappear.

After discussing with Kuai Liang and others for a long time, Liu Biao showed a satisfied smile. Generally speaking, the negotiation with Yang Hong went smoothly, which shows that Yuan Shu is sincere in cooperating to attack Lu Bu. In other words, What Yuan Shu saw was more threats from Lu Bu. If he didn't cooperate with Jingzhou, it would be difficult to win the battle against Lu Bu just by relying on Yuan Shu's troops.

Lu Bu was able to stand out in the era of vassal strife, relying on his strong strength, facing the attack of powerful vassals, Lu Bu would not back down in the slightest.

After everyone left, Liu Biao smiled as he looked at the topographic map of Jingzhou hanging in the study.

Jingzhou is close to Yanzhou. After capturing Yanzhou, his strength will be improved faster. Even if he faces Yuan Shu's attack in the future, he will not have any more worries.

Besides, when Liu Biao breaks through Yanzhou, he will definitely breed more ambitions.

This is an era of heroes, and the princes with sufficient strength are the targets of the talented people.

After you have done more under the command of the princes, you will be able to get corresponding attention, and you will be able to give your talents the opportunity to display them.

Success and fame are what many literati yearn for, and they cannot remain calm in the face of such temptations.

What the princes can give to literati are opportunities, and such opportunities are often extremely important to literati.

How many literati, even with talents, were buried because they did not have the appreciation of the monarch.

The appreciation of the monarch is the most important thing for literati. This is also an important reason why some literati are extremely cautious when choosing a monarch. If the monarch is wrongly selected, it will be a great hindrance to their future development.

The monarch is choosing his subjects, so why not the subjects choosing the monarch.

Scholars with foresight will be more cautious when choosing a monarch, and will even have a certain amount of contact, so that they can be sure whether the monarch is what they need.

It is very common for this kind of situation to happen among scholars of literati.

At present, Lu Bu's strength among the princes is not weak, but it is difficult to get more literati's support, which is why many princes look down on Lu Bu.

It is obviously supported by strong strength, but there are no more talents willing to help.

This is the influence of reputation. Without a better reputation among the princes, it will be difficult to get help from more talents.

Liu Biao's reputation in Jingzhou is not weak, and some talented people will ignore Liu Biao's conquest. Could it be that Liu Biao can punish these literati in anger?

It would be the greatest folly if it were to be done.

The power of the aristocratic family is the most important thing to ignore. There is even more intertwined relationship between the families. Sometimes, the two families are obviously not related, but they have other contacts in secret.

When aristocratic families develop their own strength, they also pay attention to methods and methods, especially the power they master secretly, which cannot be easily known to others. If a family's hole cards are fully revealed in front of other families, wouldn't it be It gave other families the opportunity to plot secretly.

The competition between wealthy families is often very fierce. Families without sufficient strength and background will lose more in such struggles, and even the family's many years of background will be lost.

The choice of Jingzhou this time is of great significance in Liu Biao's view, and it is likely to become an important turning point for Jingzhou's future development.

In fact, Liu Biao is still clear about what kind of comments the literati have about themselves. Occupying such a wealthy place as Jingzhou, but not doing more, will indeed arouse more criticism, but Liu Biao also has difficulties.

It is good that Jingzhou is rich and has a strong army and horses. However, there are also aristocratic families in Jingzhou, and even the aristocratic families in Jingzhou have power and influence that other princes do not have.

When Liu Biao made some decisions, he even needed the consent of the Jingzhou aristocratic family.

Faced with such a situation, even if Liu Biao has great talents, it is difficult to get more use of them.

If he could do more when he defeated Lu Bu, it would silence the critics.

Liu Biao smiled when he thought of the benefits he would get after defeating Lv Bu. So what if Lv Bu had a great reputation among the princes and his formidable strength. When the Jingzhou army and Yuan Shu united, it would be Lv Bu's nightmare.

It is impossible to completely conceal the secret actions among the princes, especially the existence of Yang Hong, who is an important counselor under Yuan Shu's tent. Leaving Shouchun and going to Xiangyang will make people have a better understanding. A lot of thinking.

It is good that Yuan Shu and Liu Biao had a battle, but Yuan Shu was not at a disadvantage when he confronted Jingzhou head-on, and the loss in strength was caused by the battle with Lu Bu.

Moreover, there was a grievance between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao. It was impossible for Yuan Shu to take the initiative to send envoys to Jingzhou to discuss with Liu Biao about the end of the war. In more cases, he would take direct actions to retaliate against Liu Biao.

Since Sun Ce entered Jiangdong, he has frequently invaded Jingzhou. Behind Sun Ce, there is Yuan Shu's support. Otherwise, how could Sun Ce have such a background.

The grievances between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao were just not made public. In fact, the relationship between the two parties was described as bitterness and deep hatred.

Yang Hong's appearance in Xiangyang City has attracted a lot of attention, and at the same time, there will be more speculation about Yang Hong's arrival.

A wise person can feel an extraordinary atmosphere through this incident.

Chapter 673 What is there to be afraid of this Marquis?

It is good that Yuan Shu and Liu Biao have grievances, but Yuan Shu's dispatch of Yang Hong is enough to show that he attaches great importance to this mission to Jingzhou, and it is very likely that the two sides are discussing something extremely important.

Whether it is Yuan Shu or Liu Biao, they are relatively powerful existences among the princes. If the two of them take any actions, it will even have a considerable impact on the situation of the big man.

When the news reached Xuzhou, Lu Bu's heart became more and more heavy. Yuan Shu really sent an envoy to Jingzhou. Needless to say, it is very likely that Yuan Shu sent an effective counselor Yang Hong to Jingzhou for the purpose of alliance.

If fighting Yuan Shu or Liu Biao alone, Lu Bu has no fear at all, but if fighting Liu Biao and Yuan Shu together, Lu Bu has a lot of worries.

When the news came from Qingzhou and Jiangdong, the soldiers and horses in the two places were also ready to move.

After Yuan Shu and Liu Biao join forces, they will definitely mobilize more forces that can be used.

To attack a behemoth like Lu Bu, one must be thorough and thorough, and Lu Bu should not be given any chance.

Yuan Shu and Liu Biao had such thoughts, and Lu Bu was already mentally prepared, so when he got the news, he was not surprised at all.

"My lord, according to the news from Qingzhou, Liu Bei and Kong Rong are preparing their troops for battle." Jia Xu said in a low voice, "Jiangdong Sun Ce is the same."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "It seems that the alliance between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao has been successful, but it's absolutely impossible to make the Marquis admit defeat just by relying on such means."

"Thinking back how critical the situation in Xuzhou was at the beginning, Benhou was still able to lead the lieutenant generals to defeat the invading enemy, making the invading enemy fearful. Now Yanzhou and Xuzhou have strong troops and strong horses, even though the enemy army is large in number, What is there to be afraid of, this Marquis?"

From Lu Bu, Jia Xu felt the strong confidence and high fighting spirit. This kind of Lu Bu is the most terrifying. Thinking of Lu Bu's achievements after he came to Xuzhou, there is no more surprise.

When the princes believed that it was impossible for Lv Bu to develop in the land of Xuzhou, Lv Bu led the Xuzhou army to defeat Liu Dai, Liu Bei and Kong Rong's troops, and even later occupied the land of Yanzhou and defeated Yuan Shu. , Enough to make more princes pay attention.

What the princes paid attention to brought about was a joint attack.

Who made Lv Bu have a bad reputation in the world? It is just that Lv Bu followed Dong Zhuo's side to disrupt the court, and the princes could find a legitimate excuse to attack.

The princes attacked Lu Bu precisely for the sake of profit, and such things, in the eyes of the princes, were normal things in themselves.

The era when the princes fought, that is, the weak preyed on the strong, and the princes with sufficient strength and sufficient means could reach a higher position in the troubled times.

Lu Bu's strength is enough, but what his strength brings is the fear of other princes.

Although Liu Biao and Yuan Shu still haven't said anything, more princes have noticed that they have many guesses about the struggle between the three.

In fact, now the princes are more optimistic about Yuan Shu and Liu Biao. After all, they are standing on the commanding heights of righteousness. Even if Lu Bu has a strong strength, when Xuzhou is breached, everything will come to naught, even when the Xuzhou army is in danger. At this moment, Xuzhou's family will act secretly.

It is reasonable for the family to take other actions when they see that the princes are at a disadvantage, and they also consider more for the future development of the family.

Unswervingly following behind the monarch can indeed get more attention from the monarch, but when the monarch is shattered, their family will also be in danger of being destroyed.

A more flexible response to the situation is of great significance to the aristocratic family.

"My lord, beware of some families in Yanzhou and Xuzhou secretly having contacts with Liu Biao and Yuan Shu." Jia Xu reminded in a low voice.

Lu Bu said: "Wenhe is in charge of intelligence. Pay more attention to this aspect. If you find any changes in some families, you can directly inform Benhou. At that time, Benhou will let these families understand what a drastic method is."

"Here." Jia Xu cupped his hands.

Xuzhou's family, after experiencing many things, must be more well-behaved, but Yanzhou's family is different. When they see that Lu Bu is at a disadvantage, they will inevitably have other ideas.

The development of the family is important after all, following Lu Bu, is it possible to watch the family collapse.

Lu Bu had indeed achieved considerable success in Xuzhou and Yanzhou. This kind of success was considered very good by some princes. However, Lu Bu was a general. This alone was enough to make more families respect Lu Bu at a distance.

When Yanzhou and Xuzhou are stable, the families in the two places will not have more resistance to Lu Bu, and will even better cooperate with Lu Bu in all aspects. When the situation is really critical, the situation will be uncertain.

Lu Bu went to Yanzhou himself, and what happened in the Yanzhou army gradually spread among the princes. The Yanzhou army was formed not long ago, but the cavalry competition among the Yanzhou army made the princes see the strength of the Yanzhou army.

Lu Bu has elite soldiers and strong generals, and the princes are no exception.

Lu Bu is a famous military general who is famous all over the world. He is highly skilled in martial arts, and he is extremely powerful in leading troops in battle. The three thousand cavalry battalion is the elite force of the cavalry of the Han Dynasty.

After occupying the lands of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, Lu Bu attached great importance to the development of the army's strength. From the series of changes in the Yanzhou Army and Xuzhou Army, we can see a lot of things.

The changes made by the Yanzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army are difficult for other princes to imitate. When facing the Yanzhou Army and the Xuzhou Army, what kind of battle will happen.

Lu Bu's cavalry drills in the Yanzhou Army were not a warning to other princes.

But in the face of tangible benefits, will Liu Biao and Yuan Shu give up lightly?
