The Strongest Lu Bu: Sweeping the World

The Kuai family and the Cai family are powerful families in themselves. After they supported Liu Biao, they got the support of Liu Biao, while other families did not have so much support in their development.

This situation also led to the rapid development of the Kuai family and the Cai family in Jingzhou.

But while a family is developing rapidly, how can it not infringe on the interests of other families? It is very normal for such things to happen to aristocratic families. It is often omnipotent.

As long as it is beneficial to the development of the family, they will make a move without hesitation.

Therefore, when the Cai family and the Kuai family were developing, they made many enemies, but when the strength of the Kuai family and the Cai family was strong, these hidden families did not dare to take other actions.

Jingzhou's feud with Lu Bu is actually not good for the development of more families, even the Kuai family and the Cai family have been greatly affected.

At present, there are still businessmen going to Xuzhou to do business, and even some businessmen from Jingzhou dare not reveal that they are from Jingzhou after arriving in Xuzhou, otherwise it is conceivable what kind of treatment they will receive in Xuzhou.

The feud between Lu Bu and Liu Biao brought about the cautiousness of Jingzhou merchants. Even after these merchants left Xuzhou, they did not dare to use the escort of the Escort, and the difficulty of transporting goods increased a lot.

All of this is more because of Liu Biao's choice.

Liu Biao considered things from the perspective of one of the princes. Such a choice is good for Liu Biao's development, but for some families, such a choice is not good. Their families still want to survive in troubled times. get more development.

If the relationship between Liu Biao and Lu Bu cannot be eased more, some families in Jingzhou will encounter more difficulties in doing business.

Of course, if Liu Biao and Yuan Shu were able to defeat Lu Bu after joining forces, or even occupy the city under Lu Bu's rule, and get the secret of the craftsman's workshop, that would be a different matter.

The Xuzhou craftsman workshop has a great reputation among the princes. The reason why many princes made friends with Lu Bu was because they saw the threat from Lu Bu.

In particular, the hundred-refined weapon made by the craftsman workshop is a sharp weapon that has a huge impact on the battles of the princes. When the soldiers in the army are equipped with the hundred-refined weapon on a large scale, their strength on the battlefield will be even stronger. .

What no vassal can ignore is the impact that the Hundred Refined Weapons can bring in the war, otherwise, they will suffer losses in the war.

Among the vassals, the reason why the powerful Yuan Shu suffered a disadvantage in the battle against Lu Bu was not because the Xuzhou army was far more elite than the soldiers under Yuan Shu's command.

Sophisticated weapons and armor are of great help to the improvement of the monarch's strength. Now that the situation in the world is chaotic, it is time for the princes to do something. The families under the princes naturally hope that their monarch can Under such circumstances, there are greater actions. In this way, the benefits they can get from following the monarch will be more.

After the outbreak of the war, the families under the rule of the princes will inevitably be affected by various aspects, and such influences will even greatly affect the development of the strength of some families.

There are many families in Jingzhou, and they actually have a good impression of Xuzhou, but they dare not show it easily at this moment.

However, if you contact Li Su secretly, the situation will be different. Li Su can come to Jingzhou as an envoy from Xuzhou, which means that Li Su has a certain status in Xuzhou. It is enough for the aristocratic families in Jingzhou to get the corresponding benefits.

Getting more benefits from doing business is an important way for some families to develop.

If things like doing business are put on the bright side, it will naturally be unpleasant, but in the process of some families' development, it is impossible to leave such activities as doing business.

Through the way of doing business, the strength of some families can be strengthened, the family's funds will be more abundant, and there will be more possibilities when facing some challenges.

After Lu Bu appeared in Xuzhou, he raised the matter of doing business to a very high level.

Chapter 735 The Thoughts of the Jingzhou Family

Through doing business, businessmen from all sides who come to Xuzhou can get a lot of benefits. Such benefits are of great help to the families behind them.

And some small businessmen, when doing business, their interests can be guaranteed, which makes them more grateful to Lu Bu.

In fact, some families have careful thoughts. It is best to get some secrets of the Xuzhou craftsman's workshop through Li Su. If such a thing can be successful, it will have the most profound impact on the development of the family.

The Xuzhou craftsman's workshop is extremely tight in terms of protection, because the secrets of the craftsman's workshop are of great help to the development of Xuzhou. If the princes want to spy secretly, there is no better way, let alone the family under the rule of the princes Woolen cloth.

The situation is different now. When Liu Biao and Yuan Shu join forces to attack Xuzhou and Yanzhou, it will pose a greater threat to Lu Bu. If he cannot get out of this battle, Lu Bu wants to be among the princes. It is simply impossible for the middle to rise again.

The most likely situation is that Yanzhou and Xuzhou are attacked by the enemy. In this case, even if Lu Bu holds the secret of the craftsman's workshop in his hands, it seems that it will not play a big role. When the princes lose their cities and troops, It will become a failed prince, and it will be difficult to do more.

At this time, if the secret of the craftsman's workshop can be obtained from Lu Bu, it will be of great significance, and it will even be of great help to the future development of their family.

In this case, it is normal for these Jingzhou families to have other actions secretly. Xu You went to Xuzhou, so why not have such a meaning in it.

The reason why the princes pay more attention to Xuzhou is not only because of Lu Bu's strength, but also has a lot to do with what Lu Bu has mastered.

After the outbreak of the war, it will have a great impact. If Lu Bu cannot get out of the war, the subsequent impact will be even greater.

After getting rid of the secrets of the Xuzhou craftsman workshop, Lu Bu will get more benefits from it. There is no reason not to do such a thing on Lu Bu.

When dealing with these families, Li Su has an appropriate method. What makes these families feel is the sincerity of Xuzhou. War is not what Xuzhou needs. If not, Xuzhou's business activities can be better. development.

Under such circumstances, some families who were dissatisfied with Liu Biao began to ask the officials in the family to report to Liu Biao, explaining the harm caused by the war.

It is normal for the officials under the rule to have such considerations. If the monarch is not restrained in the face of war, it will have a great impact on the development of the rule. No family is willing to follow such a behind the monarch.

Unless the monarch can achieve victory in the war, the family under the rule can get more benefits from the war after war.

The impact of the war on the princes is too great. Even after Liu Biao unites with Yuan Shu, it is difficult to prepare for the war in a short time.

This is related to the future and destiny of Jingzhou. If there is a little carelessness in the war, all the previous efforts will be wiped out.

Failure is not what the monarch wants to see. When they bear the price of failure, they will encounter more difficulties.

Even the aristocratic and powerful families under the rule will have acts of betrayal at such times.

After uniting with Yuan Shu, it is indeed possible to form a great suppression of Lu Bu, but judging from the current situation, many officials in Jingzhou are worried about this war. The influence of the Kuai family and the Cai family in Jingzhou is Not small, the key is that after some weak families unite, the influence produced is so great that the princes cannot ignore it.

In the past, when Jingzhou developed its strength, it was slower than other princes. This had a lot to do with the attitude of some families in Jingzhou. These families did not want Jingzhou to fall into turmoil. It is a difficult thing in itself. If some actions of Liu Biao plunge Jingzhou into turmoil, then Liu Biao is the sinner for Jingzhou's development.

How many families went to Jingzhou to escape the chaos of war, not because they wanted to see Liu Biao accomplish something in the troubled times.

The princes with great ambitions have indeed had a great impact on the development of the family under their rule. The key is that they did not feel this aspect from Liu Biao before.

The Jingzhou officials made Liu Biao a little uncomfortable. It is obviously unrealistic not to consider the words of these officials, and the content presented by these officials is also well-organized. After the war, Jingzhou’s Development can indeed bring about a great impact. If things in this area are not handled properly, it may bring about turmoil in Jingzhou.

After many years of turmoil, the great man finally found Jingzhou, a paradise. If even Jingzhou fell into war, what would the many families in Jingzhou do?You can't leave Jingzhou and look for a way out again, right?

Every relocation actually has a great impact on the family. After they arrive in a strange place, if they want to let the family quickly open up the situation, they need to deal with all kinds of difficulties. What kind of support will be given at the time is also very important.

That's why, unless it's a critical moment, the aristocratic family is not willing to move easily, because after such a thing happens, the impact it will bring is really a bit big.

If it is not a critical moment, the power of the family will not be easily transferred.

When fighting a prince like Lu Bu, many things must be considered, especially the powerful combat effectiveness of the Xuzhou Army.

In the past, when Lv Bu took over Xuzhou, he experienced many difficulties and was able to stand out from these difficulties. Only in these aspects can one see the extraordinaryness of Lv Bu.

Moreover, there are powerful cavalry in the Xuzhou army. When Lu Bu sends elite cavalry into Jingzhou, what kind of impact will it have on Jingzhou.

The biggest advantage of the cavalry over the infantry lies in its strong mobility. After the cavalry enters the area of ​​​​Jingzhou, they can completely plunder without worrying about more things.

As for the fact that literati would use this to criticize Lu Bu, even with the situation in Yanzhou and Xuzhou falling into such an emergency situation, would Lu Bu pay more attention to these so-called criticisms? He once cared more about the opinions of scholars.

Chapter 736 It must be Xuzhou envoy Li Su

If Lu Bu had cared more about this aspect, he would have hanged himself long ago.

The impact of reputation is indeed great, but Lu Bu, who was born as a general, was designated as a traitor by the princes, and he might be polite to Lu Bu on the surface, but what kind of remarks he has behind his back, it is impossible to know. Got it.

Just like when the officials of the imperial court treated Dong Zhuo in the past, they didn't dare to have more words in person, but behind their backs they wanted his life.

Of course, the current Lu Bu is not that hateful in the eyes of the princes, but the existence of a prince like Lu Bu will have a certain impact on other princes. After all, Lu Bu was born as a general. There are many gaps among the princes in China. Such a character can also become a member of the princes, which will inevitably make other princes feel uncomfortable.

Especially when Lu Bu's strength became stronger and stronger, more princes even had to have a respectful attitude when facing Lu Bu, and they were also very polite when cooperating with Lu Bu.

If things go on like this, Lu Bu's influence among the princes will be improved to a greater extent. This situation is not good for some princes who have ideas about Lu Bu. What they want to do is to contain Lu Bu and let Lu Bu develop. be more affected.

Yuan Shu's ability to stand up at such a time is recognized by many princes. The key is how much advantage Yuan Shu can occupy when fighting against Lu Bu.

If the alliance between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao cannot be successful this time, it will have a greater impact on the princes of the world. At that time, Lu Bu's reputation among the princes will be even louder, and even more businessmen will be brought to Xuzhou to do business.

At this time, it is simply impossible for the merchants in Jingzhou and those under Yuan Shu's rule to gain more power from the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce.

Although Lu Bu is a military commander, he paid attention to methods and methods when developing, especially the monitoring of the dark situation, which has reached a shocking level. The owner of the Black Clothes Pavilion was unlucky in Pengcheng, which is a good example.

Provoking Lu Bu more is not what the merchants want to see, including the families behind these merchants. When they do things, they have to think more.

Having a good relationship with Li Su in secret will be of great help to their future development. Before Lu Bu completely collapses, they can't do things that add insult to injury.

As for the fact that it is difficult for Lu Bu to gain an advantage in this confrontation, the situation is different. At that time, the families of all parties will let Lu Bu realize what is meant by the aggressive methods of aristocratic families.

Jingzhou, the prefectural pastoral mansion, Liu Biao said in a slightly low voice: "Many officials have objected to uniting Yuan Shu to attack Lv Bu. If things go on like this, it will be very disadvantageous for the official to govern Jingzhou."

Kuai Liang said: "My lord, there is no need to worry. These are just some small families. They want to have business activities with Xuzhou and benefit from it. How can they see the huge benefits they can get after defeating Lu Bu? They are short-sighted."

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "No, this matter must have been pushed by someone secretly."

"From the perspective of my subordinates, it must be Li Su, the envoy of Xuzhou." Kuai Liang said with certainty.

Seeing Liu Biao's puzzled look, Kuai Liang explained: "Li Su is Xuzhou's envoy, and he has attracted a lot of attention in Jingzhou. Some of these families want to continue to maintain ties with Xuzhou by making friends with Li Su. business activities."

"As for Li Su's coming to Jingzhou, I am afraid that the most important purpose is to contain Jingzhou's troops. At that time, Yuan Shu will send troops to attack Xuzhou. If there is no movement from Jingzhou, it is only relying on Yuan Shu to make greater achievements in the battle to break Xuzhou. , is simply impossible, Yuan Shu was defeated by Lu Bu before."

Hearing Kuai Liang's analysis, Liu Biao nodded slightly, expressing his approval, "Through this method, it is simply wishful thinking to make this official retreat. Then Lu Bu is a traitor of the great man. To eradicate such traitors is to serve as a courtier. It is my duty to govern Jingzhou under the orders of the Holy Majesty, how can I just sit back and watch such people enjoy themselves in Xuzhou."

Everyone heard Liu Biao's words, and they didn't take it seriously. The current court is unknown, and the influence of the royal family among the princes is very low. Otherwise, the princes would not be so unscrupulous when appointing officials. Lu Bu is a traitor of the great man Yes, but Lu Bu's Xuzhou Mu was also appointed by the court.

No matter what the reasons are, there is no problem with Lu Bu's identity, but Lu Bu's previous behavior will leave a lot of ground for discussion. This is also the main direction of attack after the alliance between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao. The reputation is even worse, and literati have more discussions about it. It is absolutely impossible for Lu Bu to turn over this matter.

Fame and public opinion, if used properly, can be worth thousands of troops. At that time, the officials under Lu Bu's rule will be so unbearable when they learn that their monarch is in front of the world. What kind of actions will be taken, I am afraid that the most direct reaction is to betray Lu Bu and change the court.

Conquests between princes are accompanied by many dangers, and the betrayal of officials under the rule is often the most deadly. If you are not careful in this regard, once other situations arise, it will be a real crisis.

Lv Bu's reputation among the princes is determined. Even if Lv Bu has made more efforts in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, it is not easy to really get the recognition of the princes, especially the literati. There are sarcasm.

If things go on like this, even if Xuzhou has a recruitment order, it is impossible to recruit more talents from all over the world to Xuzhou.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some underappreciated people want to go to Yanzhou and Xuzhou to try their luck.

And when Lu Bu encounters a crisis, more families may think about it in secret. In the past, Lu Bu's strength in front of the princes was too strong. It is a bit difficult to win against Lu Bu, but now The situation is different now. Liu Biao and Yuan Shu are both powerful existences among the princes. After the two parties unite, can they deal with it with the strength of Lu Bu?

The outbreak of the war has a great impact on the princes' rule. If we can't handle this matter better, disasters will follow.

It is undeniable that Lu Bu's influence among the princes is not small, relying on the influence brought about by his strong combat effectiveness, but how useful is such an influence really?

Chapter 737

When the princes have more vigilance against Lu Bu, can they become the victor in this confrontation just by relying on Lu Bu's personal ability?

After the failure, Lu Bu is probably what more princes want to see.

Because Lu Bu didn't have any more scruples in the way he did things, if the princes provoked Lu Bu, it would bring Lu Bu's crazy revenge.

Although this kind of thing is also true for other princes, when other princes do things, they will have suitable reasons.

Don't underestimate the excuses. If the excuses cannot convince more people, even powerful princes will need trouble.

In the process of governing Xuzhou and Yanzhou, Lu Bu showed absolutely powerful means in front of the princes. Those who do not take refuge will be punished accordingly. Even when governing the local area, officials who do not do their best will be punished .

The establishment of the Xuzhou Inspector's Office is a good illustration.

Although after the establishment of the Inspector's Office, it can form a good supervision over the officials under Lu Bu's rule, but such a system will bring more difficulties to the development of the family under the rule. Even if Lu Bu's strength is outstanding, when After doing such a thing, I am afraid that it will bring resistance from more families.

Lu Bu's strength is strong. When Yanzhou and Xuzhou are stable, these families will not stand up. When Lu Bu is weak, they will act secretly.

It is actually quite normal for such a thing to be put under the rule of a prince. After a noble family takes refuge in one prince, they will not put all their bargaining chips on a prince. They secretly have connections with families in other states and counties. , just want to let the family get long-term development in this way.

Even if the vassals who took refuge were destroyed, they would still have a chance to survive after changing their families. This was also the great advantage of the aristocratic and wealthy families.

After Lu Bu took charge of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, he showed a strong side, followed by more secret actions of families, families in the two states traded with families under the rule of other princes, and there were also other princes who wanted to Has contacts with families in Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

"In that case, the envoy from Xuzhou is also a hidden danger in Jingzhou." Liu Biao stroked his beard and said.

Kuai Yue said: "My lord's words are very true. Lu Bu has no good intentions in sending envoys to Jingzhou at such a time. From my subordinate's point of view, it is better to directly control Li Su. In this way, it can show my lord's determination. .”

Cai Mao shook his head and said, "I would not agree with what you said. Jingzhou is only denouncing Lu Bu at present, and has not really turned against Lu Bu. If Lu Bu is angry because of the detaining of the envoy, what will be the consequences? Yanzhou has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, although not many soldiers and horses in Yanzhou have experienced large-scale battles, but judging from the news, the elite soldiers and horses in Yanzhou cannot be ignored."

As a general in the army, when Cai Mao considers things, he will stand from the perspective of war.

Kuai Yue said: "Then Lu Bu is not a dull person. If you send troops to attack Jingzhou at this time, you will be asking for your own death. Is General Cai being too careful?"

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "General Cai's words make sense. Lu Bu is a military commander. When considering things, he doesn't have that many thoughts. After angering him, the most direct move is probably to send troops to attack Jingzhou."

"The city under my current administration is close to Yanzhou. If Lu Bu sends troops to attack, I'm afraid it will suffer in a short time."

Seeing what Liu Biao said, it was difficult for Kuai Yue to refute. It cannot be denied that the army under Lu Bu's command was unique in attacking the city. The effect must be great.

It's not that the other princes never thought of prying out the secrets of such sharp weapons from Lu Bu's hands, but it is not a simple matter to succeed.
