The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

And after these things, the princes naturally did not have a good face when they treated Lu Bu. Although they would not show it on the surface, they still had a lot of expectations for Lu Bu's disillusionment in secret.

It is best that after Xuzhou is breached, the secrets in the craftsman's workshop can be spread, which will be of great help to the strength of the princes.

Yuan Shu and Liu Biao wanted to jointly attack Xuzhou, not only because Lu Bu was as simple as a threat, but why didn't they want to find out the secrets of Xuzhou's craftsman workshop.

When the secret of the Xuzhou craftsman workshop is announced to the public, it will be of great help to the development of the princes, and Yuan Shu and Liu Biao will benefit greatly from it.

Some princes even felt a little regretful, why their rulers were not close to Xuzhou, so that they could get a share of the pie

In troubled times, strength is the most important, and only with absolute strength can one do more when the princes are fighting.

Lu Bu's strength is formidable, but after Yuan Shu and Liu Biao unite, they are even more terrifying than Lu Bu in terms of strength.

It was good for Yuan Shu to end in failure in the battle with Lu Bu before, but Yuan Shu, as a prince with a deep foundation, would not give up lightly because of one failure. After quickly recovering from the defeat, Yuan Shu will Started a new action.

After leaving the craftsman's workshop and returning to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Lu Bu immediately summoned Jia Xu to discuss matters related to Liu Biao and Yuan Shu.

In fact, during this period of time, Lu Bu often had secret talks with Jia Xu and Guo Jia, and the content of the discussions was naturally related to Yuan Shu and Liu Biao.

There will be new situations coming in every day, and it is necessary to respond in a timely manner according to these situations.

If one was to deal with one of them alone, with Lu Bu's strength, naturally he would not have more fear, but when Yuan Shu and Liu Biao joined forces, the situation was very different.

When the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army are at a disadvantage, some people with a heart may start to act in secret, which is difficult to contain.

The princes attach great importance to the development of their own strength. When they see the opportunity coming, they will step forward without hesitation. It is a good illustration that Liu Biao sent an army to attack Yuzhou before.

In November, a slightly shabby-dressed literati came to Pengcheng. From his expression, one could feel the travel and dust.

After this young man came to Pengcheng, he went directly to the recruiting hall.

"Name? Where is the person?" The official in charge of recording asked step by step.

When Lu Bu's strength becomes stronger, the recruitment hall will often have talents coming.

Lu Bu attaches great importance to talents, but when he sees talents coming, he only needs to pass the review, and he will be appointed accordingly. As for what these talents will do after they get the official position, it is not Lu Bu who can do it. left and right.

Opportunities often require these talents to fight for themselves. If these talents cannot show the corresponding strength, it will be very difficult to win the competition with the children of Xuzhou's aristocratic families.

Many people are aware of the influence of aristocratic families in the officialdom, and many of the people who come to Xuzhou Recruitment Center are from poor families, that is, they do not have a better family background, or they come to Xuzhou just to touch luck.

Chapter 688 Good, what a Zhang Zibu

Lu Bu attaches great importance to talents. If they come to Xuzhou and are valued by Lu Bu, their status will be greatly improved.

Although Lu Bu did not have a great reputation among the princes, Lu Bu, who was in charge of one side, was still very attractive to literati, especially some literati who were underappreciated.

Among the poor families, there is no shortage of literati. Although these literati have certain talents, they have no background in family background. It is not a simple matter to stand out under the tents of the princes.

When the aristocratic families control the officialdom, they don't have the slightest mercy. As long as they can suppress others, they will not let them go easily.

Especially for poor scholars, it is extremely difficult to enter the officialdom. If there are poor scholars who succeed, it means that some families will pay a certain price when the family rises. How can it be easily accepted by the wealthy family.

"Man Chong, style name Boning, from Yanzhou." The young man said lightly.

After the official who was recording heard Man Chong's self-report, he immediately got up and cupped his hands and said, "So your Excellency is Mr. Man, please, please."

Man Chong was a little unclear, so "Do you know me?"

"We met for the first time." The official said truthfully.

"Then why?" Man Chong asked puzzled.

The official laughed and said: "Mr. Man doesn't know something. Zhang Zongzheng has sent an order before. If Mr. Man comes to the recruiting hall, he must treat him well and don't neglect him."

"Okay, what a Zhang Zibu." Man Chong said.

Seeing that Man Chong called Zhang Zhao directly, the officials in charge of recording did not dare to neglect in the slightest. Currently Zhang Zhao is a well-known official in Xuzhou.

"Mr. Man, please." After the officer whispered to the soldiers outside the door, he walked into the room with a smile on his face.

It is definitely not an ordinary person to be so important to Zhang Zhao. If Man Chong is not satisfied when dealing with this matter, once Zhang Zhao blames him, it will be his negligence.

The work in the recruiting hall is relatively easy. Besides, as long as you are in the officialdom, you will have hope if you work hard. If you lose your job, it will be difficult to explain it when you return to the family.

Seeing that his identity was found out, Man Chong didn't get angry. The reason why he came to the recruitment hall was to see how the situation in Xuzhou was.

Zhang Zhao's recommendation made Man Chong quite a headache. Although he and Zhang Zhao knew each other, but this time Zhang Zhao took refuge in Lu Bu who had a bad reputation.

In the eyes of literati, it is somewhat unacceptable to take refuge in such a monarch. Although Man Chong doesn't know why Zhang Zhao made such a choice, there must be unknown difficulties in it.

After taking refuge in Lu Bu, it means that he has become a member of Lu Bu's camp, and even when he is scolded, he has a share.

Literati cherish their own reputation very much, and they don't want their good reputation to be destroyed like this.

After receiving Zhang Zhao's letter, Man Chong, who was at home, couldn't be moved. Lu Bu had a great reputation among the princes. is quite strong

Although it is inevitable that there will be many hidden dangers in the process of governing Yanzhou and Xuzhou, Lu Bu's strength has been well reflected when he competes with other princes.

If you rely on Lu Bu, from Man Chong's point of view, you need to be cautious. A scholar must be cautious when choosing a monarch. This is a matter of life. Once you make a mistake in your choice, your life may be ruined. .

In this regard, Man Chong is extremely cautious.

The troubled times have come, and in the troubled times, what the princes of each party can do depends on their own means.

Lu Bu's reputation among the princes is not bad, but Lu Bu's strength will also be very attractive to some scholars.

After thinking about it carefully, Man Chong decided to go to Pengcheng to see what the situation was like before making a conclusion. Who knew that Zhang Zhao would put him on this matter.

On the way to Yanzhou, Man Chong heard a lot of news. The news that Yuan Shu and Liu Biao will join forces to attack Lu Bu was quite shocking to Man Chong.

Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao are the powerful princes around them. Although there are entanglements of interests among the three parties, it is still relatively difficult for them to fight.

But when Liu Biao and Yuan Shu join forces, this balance will be broken, and even some other princes will take advantage of the opportunity.

After occupying Xuzhou, Lu Bu's methods are indeed remarkable. However, compared with Yuan Shu and other powerful princes, there is still a big gap. Liu Biao had greater achievements, which was difficult for Lu Bu.

It depends on what kind of means Lu Bu can have at the critical moment.

If Lu Bu can win under such circumstances, it will definitely be of greater help to the future development of Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

The victories Lv Bu achieved among the princes are obvious to all. Currently, Lv Bu's reputation among the princes is obtained by virtue of his victories in the war.

If any prince wants to attack Lu Bu, the first thing to consider is the powerful army under Lu Bu's command.

Although he heard such news, he still did not stop Man Chong from coming to Xuzhou. Since he planned to come and take a look, how could he stop because of something happening.

It is reasonable for Lu Bu to pay more attention to talents, because in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, it is relatively difficult for Lu Bu to get the support of more talents, especially loyal talents. Shortage.

If you go to work under Lu Bu, with Zhang Zhao's recommendation, you will definitely get more attention. This is of great significance to scholars.

It was already impossible to secretly observe the situation in Xuzhou. Zhang Zhao pushed him to the bright side. The next thing to see was Xuzhou's reaction to this matter.

Although Man Chong has a certain reputation in Yanzhou, it is also within a certain range. If Lu Bu appoints an important official post, it will definitely arouse some officials' discussions.

Lu Bu's dominance is well known, and it can be seen from the incident in Yanzhou.

After conquering Yanzhou, Chen Gong was directly appointed to be in charge of Yanzhou's affairs, and Chen Gong was listed as the pastor of Yanzhou. This was before the imperial court's decree was issued.

Chapter 689 Full of pets come?

It is said that the princes will be more cautious when doing such things, after all, it is a matter of reputation.

Putting it on Lu Bu is different, and this has a lot to do with Lu Bu's current reputation. Anyway, his reputation among the princes is already like this, even if it is worse, what can we do?

The feudal lords had a lot of comments about Lu Bu, and when faced with these comments, it would be impossible to say that Lu Bu was not angry.

Just getting angry can only make people laugh, it is better to suppress it, if the princes have aggressive actions against Xuzhou and Yanzhou, Lu Bu will let these princes who make fun of him understand how difficult it is to get benefits from him, How ridiculous the ridicule in the past was.

In the eyes of some princes, Lu Bu's actions were indeed a bit rough, especially when dealing with aristocratic families, he did not show any weakness in his methods. In fact, it is inappropriate for such a thing to happen to a monarch.

However, Man Chong can't feel bad for Lu Bu, because Lu Bu's actions are correct. If the aristocratic family relies on the power in their hands to act recklessly, it will be a nightmare for the princes to rule. It is better to contain the power of the aristocratic family. It is actually of great benefit to the princes.

The most indispensable thing for a big man is the aristocratic family. These families have many shameful behaviors relying on their family background, which is extremely detrimental to the long-term development of the princes.

If Lu Bu can start from this aspect, it shows that Lu Bu attaches great importance to the development of his rulers. Such a monarch cannot help but do something. What Lu Bu lacks is opportunities and talents.

After taking refuge in Lu Bu, talents can get corresponding attention. Isn't this an opportunity for talents?

So Man Chong came to Pengcheng.

In the state pastoral mansion, Zhang Zhao was overjoyed when he heard the news of Man Chong's arrival. He did not expect that Man Chong would come to Pengcheng when the situation in Yanzhou and Xuzhou was so tense.

The secret alliance between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao naturally has no greater impact on ordinary officials and common people, but the high-level officials of the two prefectures consider things differently. In terms of development, it will be extremely detrimental.

For the development of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, it can be said that Lu Bu has put in a lot of effort, but his skill in improving the treatment of soldiers in the army is unmatched by other princes. Following such a monarch can make officials feel What arrived was the courage of the monarch.

At the beginning, Zhang Zhao was indeed resistant to Lv Bu, and even took refuge in Lv Bu, there were other reasons among them, but Zhang Zhao could get enough attention under Lv Bu's command.

The improvement of Zhang Zhao's status is of great benefit to the development of the family, but Zhang Zhao knows Lu Bu's bottom line, and the interests of the common people will not be touched in the process of family development.

But all the smart families in Xuzhou and Yanzhou can see more things from Lu Bu's behavior. It's just that some families have poor eyesight and want to take advantage of the opportunity to get more benefits, which in turn angered Lu Bu.

It is inevitable that officials from aristocratic families consider the interests of the family. The key is to see whether such a thing will have a bad impact on the development of the monarch. If such a thing cannot be done, it is still Try not to touch it.

Confronting the monarch is always full of dangers. If some things are not handled properly, it will even make the family suffer more hardships, and even their own future will be even more bleak. The princes have the ability to appoint officials. Power, this alone, will allow more talents to rush to the top.

Lv Bu's reputation among the princes is not good, but Lv Bu's strength is strong, and he has the lands of Xuzhou and Yanzhou under his rule, which is enough.

If the land of Xuzhou and Yanzhou can get more development, it will make Lu Bu rise completely among the princes. At that time, who can stop Lu Bu's development momentum.

It must be of great significance to Lu Bu that Man Chong can come to Pengcheng at such a time. Zhang Zhao is clear about Man Chong's ability.

"My lord, Man Chong has arrived in Pengcheng and is currently in the recruiting hall." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands.

Hearing this, Lu Bu put down the paperwork in his hand, "Man Chong is here?"

"Exactly." Zhang Zhao said.

Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "Man Chong is coming, the matter is very important, Zi Bu goes to meet him, let him come to see Benhou."

"Here." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said.

From Lu Bu's words, Zhang Zhao could feel that Lu Bu attached great importance to Man Chong, which made Zhang Zhao secretly heave a sigh of relief, but all talents have their arrogance, if Lu Bu is more arrogant in some performances Otherwise, it will inevitably lead to Man Chong's dissatisfaction, and it will be extremely unfavorable for Lu Bu to attract Man Chong.

Things are clearly developing on the good side.

What Zhang Zhao dares to affirm is that Lu Bu had never seen Man Chong before, and he had never heard of Man Chong before he even mentioned Man Chong. How much Lu Bu valued his opinion.

It is an honor for the courtiers to follow behind such a monarch.

Many literati are full of talents and cannot be reused. It is not because their abilities are not enough, but because their efforts cannot be recognized by the monarch.

When Lu Bu was developing in Xuzhou, he had a lot of demand for talents. With the increase of cities under Lu Bu's rule, the demand for talents will be even greater. It is always a good thing to have suitable talents who can be hired.

After receiving Lu Bu's order, Zhang Zhao rushed to the recruiting hall immediately.

"Brother Bo Ning can come to Pengcheng, I am very pleased." Zhang Zhao cupped his hands when he saw Man Chong.

Seeing Zhang Zhao's arrival, the officials of the recruiting office hurried forward to salute, secretly rejoicing that they treated Man Chong with enough respect, if not, Zhang Zhao's ears would definitely have dissatisfaction with the incident. Less troublesome.

At present, Zhang Zhao has a prominent position in Xuzhou. To appoint and dismiss an official, perhaps only a hint from Zhang Zhao is enough. It is impossible for an ordinary official in the recruitment hall to get more attention.

Man Chong replied: "Originally, after I came down to Pengcheng, I wanted to observe secretly. I didn't expect Brother Zibu to have such a means."

"I believe in Brother Boning's ability. Now that I have come to Pengcheng, how can I observe secretly? At the moment when Marquis Wen is in need of talents." Zhang Zhaodao: "Knowing that Brother Boning has come to Pengcheng, Marquis Wen Immediately order me to come and meet you."

Chapter 690

When Man Chong heard this, his heart moved. Why did this Marquis Wen, whom he had never met before, value him so much? Could it be that it was only because of Zhang Zhao's recommendation?

"If that's the case, there will be brother Lao Zibu." Man Chong said, no matter what the purpose is, since he came to Pengcheng, it is very necessary to meet Lu Bu.

Lu Bu, whose reputation is extremely famous among the princes, still has a lot of curiosity to see if Lu Bu is as cruel as in the legend.

Zhang Zhao's ability, Man Chong is also clear, if Lu Bu did not have the corresponding means, Zhang Zhao would definitely not recommend himself after taking refuge in Lu Bu.

This alone can show that Zhang Zhao did his best when assisting Lu Bu.

Such situations aroused Man Chong's curiosity even more.
